All right, bro, what do you have? Five and a half hours. I said seven. It's technically six point eight hours. I put seven in the prompter, but it's actually six point eight. What was in the prompter? It's seven, but it's not true. I rounded up just to make it easier.

So I didn't think you'd get that close. You thought, you thought, oh, no, no, no, there's no chance that someone would guess seven over the answer of six point eight in a game where you have to get closest for that going over. You just didn't. Boom. We are so back. The last time Michael Knowles and Brett Cooper faced off, the episode was so hot, so controversial, that the moderators on a certain big tech platform were forced to eradicate the episode from public view entirely,

the whole preposterously entertaining video. All due to a joke that Michael Knowles fired off in the last minute of that episode. However, Michael and Brett are back to settle the score, and this time we will cut out all the jokes. This is face off. Michael and Brett, the topic is relationships and dating. What have you done to prepare for this? Well, I haven't really dated since, like, the Bush administration, so I'm not up to date. What I do want to know, though, Ben, is what was the joke that got the last one banned?

I bet it was funny. It was hilarious. Clearly, it was so funny that they had to eradicate it from public view entirely. Yeah, fair enough. I think you should just bleep that entire sentence, and that can be. People can think that that's what it is. Yeah, you just said that's going to get us banned this time. You're going to make our editors work already, Michael, and it's been one minute in the show.

Did you see Blake, this is so off topic. Do you see Blake Lively is now being recantled because she used an interview years ago? Really? Yeah. She's so back. What's the record for the most times anyone said in a daily wire video? You guys are already giving away some of these questions, bringing up topics like this. And since we had to redo that episode, the scoreboard is technically tied, zero-zero.

So to ensure that this episode is fair and balanced, Brett Cooper's producer, Reagan, will be overseeing the scores and chiming in to make sure I don't give Michael any unfair advantages. I was going to say, I'm just here to make sure that you don't cheat. That's fair. We don't really have to because Michael and I have worked together so long that we can finish each other's sandwiches. Oh my gosh. All right, are you ready? Yes, let's do it. All right. According to Match.com, what percent of men have been absolutely?

out by a woman. Also, what percent of these men say they were, quote, cool with it? So write down two percentages. We'll see who gets closer. Is it closest for that going over or just closest? It's just closest. It should be closest for that going over because then there are two options. Well, we'll talk about the rules next time. Well, do you all want to establish that now going forward because that is an option? It should be closest for that going over. Because otherwise, two people, you know, if it's like 20 and it's 18 and 22, we'd tie. We can let producer Reagan decide. Whatever you want, Reagan.

I like that. All right. All right, close without going over. Let's do it. All right, Michael, what do you have? I say 26% of guys have been asked out by a chick and 83% were cool with it. Right. I said 15% have been asked out by women and 80% say that they're cool with it.

The correct answer is 65% of guys have been asked out by a woman. And of those, 91% said they were cool with it. Let's go. So is that 2.0. Is that... I think so. Let's go. Is that, yeah, is that too?

Yeah, I think you... Wow. Wow. It's... That honestly? Go ahead. No, sorry. Ladies first.

Oh, no. I was going to say, that's actually impressive on behalf of women in a way, just because so many women are angry that men are not asking them out. So I would be more disappointed if they weren't actually taking any action to remedy the situation. So the fact that they are, I just did an episode about that where I was like, listen, if you're so upset and you're... angry that men are not asking you out, you kind of have to do something, at least make the

environment more hospitable to them and not make them terrified that they're going to be M-Tude or ask them out yourself. So this is actually very, very impressive. It's a good point, especially in the Me Too era where if you like say good morning to a woman, you could be thrown into prison. Exactly. And I'm trying to think, I almost said 100% of men would be cool with it. I guess some, you know, sometimes it's unpleasant. But on the handful of occasions I've been asked out by a woman, even when I was not into it. it. It's kind of nice. It's flattering. I don't see why. Actually, it should be higher than 80% or whatever it was. I don't think, have I ever, I invited a guy to a sorority date party. I think that is the only time I've ever asked out a man, though.

There was one time I was invited to a sorority crush party, but the way they did it was the girls, I'm not even joking. The girls would ask, they would invite three guys, which I thought was very weird and creepy. It's like mini bachelorette. Yes, yeah. So I don't know. That one I don't think counts. But yours might count. If it was one guy, that might count.

I didn't realize we were going to be spilling so much tea on this episode. This is fantastic. We need a show just like the tea with Michael and Brett. All right, number two, according to ranker.com, what is the best movie for date night? Now, I have a list of five. You pick one. and whoever gets the closest to the top wins. Date night, like a married couple date night,

or date night like it's your first date? It just says date night movie, so it could be either one. Okay. Just any movie? We'll see if it cracks top five. Oh, so we're just picking one out, and then you're going to tell us if it... Yeah, I'll see who gets closer to the top,

or if you get close at all. This is like picking from a rollobecks of millions of films. Only one movie? Only one movie. Pick one. I want to see what you would pick your date night and see if it's it. I'm going to be wrong, probably. I know what you're going to guess.

No, it's not that. It's going to be your one favorite movie. Yeah, no, that's my, that is my personal favorite for a date night, but it's actually not the one I picked. Even though it's a great romantic comedy. All right, what do you got, Brett? Crazy Stupid Love. All right, Michael. I said Casablanca.

Wow. Neither one of you guys got it. The correct answer is 10 things I hate about you. It's number one. Oh, yes. Yes. Which could not be made today at all. The second one is actually a nice classic movie, the Princess Bride.

Then The Notebook. 50 first dates, pretty woman, and of course, Fauci on Mask, which is a great free part series you can watch now on Daily Wire Plus. That's real saucy, sexy content. There's no doubt about it. I think I need to argue that mine is closest because it is a contemporary rom-com. And I will say my argument for crazy stupid love, kind of like 10 Things I Hate About You, Because 10 Things I Hate About You, It Has Stuff for Guys in it. So a guy, if you're bringing him over or if you're going over to his house and you're watching a rom-com,

you don't want it to be mushy, gushy, gushy, gushy, he's going to be kind of weirded out about it. Crazy Stupid Love, has a little bit of raunchy, has a little bit of edgy humor. You know, Steve Carell's kind of funny. Ryan Gosling's in it. Every man loves Ryan Gosling. So it has something for everyone, kind of like 10 things I hate about you, which I think can be enjoyed by both men and women. Well, if this is the premise that we've established, then obviously the answer is me, myself and Irene, which is a beautiful love story and has something for everyone. Just mark out Casablanca.

You're like, I'm back. Yeah, let's go. I don't think Reagan's giving either one of you guys the point. So we'll move up. I do have to advocate for Brett because she also had a movie that had Ryan Gosselin and the notebook also had Ryan Gosselin. So. And it's a rom-com.

But 10 Things I Hate About You did have Humphrey Bogart in it, I think. I'm pretty sure. We will have our producers jump on that while we get to number three. Of the online dating users in the United States, put these dating sites in order from the most users to the least, okay? There is coffee meets bagel, hinge, Tinder. Bumble, plenty of fish, and grinder. Which one?

This is most likely to be frequented by Ben Davies, or this is most likely to be frequented by anyone? These are the most users currently in the United States. Okay. Put them in order. What coffee meets bagel sounds funny. That's a funny one. I had to look that one up. I was like, is this real?

That's a Jewish one. Gifilta fish meets bagel. Ten seconds? Wow, you give him no time. Just trying to put it. put the pressure on Brett. My handwriting's getting progressively worse. Wait, hold on. We're picking one or we're writing down all five? You're listening. Put these in order and you'll get a point for each one you get right in the appropriate slot. Oh yeah, so right. Wait, hold on. Say them again.

All right. No, we'll cut around all this. Don't worry. No, you keep it in. This is good content. So, all right, wait, scroll down so I can see the top of it. So the first option, Tinder. It's coffee meets bagel, hinge, Tinder, Bumble, plenty of fish and grinder. And you have the say Grindr with a smile. It's the funniest one. Michael, did you ever use a dating app? Well, my wife and I actually met on Grindr. My parents met on Grindr too. Okay. No, happily, a sweet

little Lisa and I got back together right before dating app started, so I've never used a dating app, and I'm really glad because then it's there forever, right? Like, your personal ad is on the internet forever. Yeah. I've talked about this a lot recently, but my first dating experience ever was online. And I think that's the case for the majority of my generation, which in my opinion is why we're so confused and so warped when it comes to dating,

because we literally don't know how to date. Like my first dating experiences of like talking to guys, we're over Instagram DMs, we're on Tinder, we're on binge. It was never not like a guy in middle school, you know, like really? Well, I had like a couple of guy friends that, you know, had like a crush, but then I wasn't old enough to date, so I wasn't allowed to, whatever. But in terms of actually being asked out and going on dates, it was Instagram DMs. And then when I got to college, my sorority, the moment that I joined, they were like, oh my gosh, you've never been on a dating app. You have to download Tinder right now.

And that's where I was. So weird. So weird. That is weird. Growing up in New York, I got my first girlfriend when I was 12 and she was an older woman. She was 13. And I kid you not, like now, you know, I would think I wouldn't let my kids date at that age. But in New York, liberal New York, I was kind of.

of old, actually. That was, I was kind of late to the game. Okay, I have my answer stuff. All right, let's do it. As I list these off, just cross through it if you get it wrong. All right. Number one, Bumble. What? Yep. Bumble. Wow. Number two. Wait, wait. I feel like that might have been changed because since their rebrand, they've had a massive falloff. Okay. So, wait, sorry, the prompter was too, too high, I got to look up. Actually, it's Tinder number one. Oh, all right. All right. So Tender, Bumbles, two. Then plenty of fish. Grindr, Coffee Meets Bagel, and Hinge.

Okay. I thought there were only five, and so I only listed five, but I got four of the five right in order. I just didn't include plenty of fish. Wow. So like, I guess, but I won't, obviously, I won't ask for that point, but I got four out of five,

and I never used one of those dating apps. Excellent. I got Tinder, Grindr, and Coffee Meets Bagel. Three points. That's pretty good. How is plenty of fish? Number three, number two, that's wild. Apparently, 32% of all users that use dating apps have an account with plenty of fish.

That's crazy. What about the other, remember the really old school ones? Match. Match.com. It was another one. Christian Mingle? Christian Mingle, yeah, Jay Date. What about Raya?

Do you guys know about Raya, the exclusive dating app you have to be recommended to get on? And it used to be only for like celebrities and big influencers, but now they kind of just let anybody on if you get recommended. So it'll be like when Tom Holland was still single, you'd swipe on Tom Holland, but then you might only have like 3,000 followers. But that's where you would go if you want to

see the celebrity guys. Whoa. Wow. But they wouldn't be on this list because they're so exclusive, Michael. That checks out. Right now go to expressvpn.com slash Michael letter Y letter T. Did you know that your activity online can be visible to your employer,

So you get the closest out going over? All right. Closest without going over. Michael, what do you have? I say 66%. Red? 69% just for the joke.

Nice. 75%. 75%? Whoa, man. I almost did 73. Damn it. I wanted to make the joke. I almost did 420%. But Brett wins anyway.

Wow, 75. Man, that's brutal for the fellas out there, huh? It is. What was Reagan's guess? I saw Brett write the 7 and I wanted to signal to her to keep writing. I didn't have a guess. I'm looking at the answers. That's honest. I like that. The thing is, though, with Tinder and with all of these dating apps, you have a higher percentage of men, men swipe more frequently.

There's fewer women, and then they don't swipe on anybody. It's a recipe for disaster. That is. Have you heard of the power swipe, Brett? No. Wait, is that on Tinder one of their new premium things where you get, like, with your $500 a year subscription or whatever? craziness is. I'm not sure which app this is, but I was on a flight with a friend. We were landing in a new city, and he was just doing this on his phone. He was like, oh, I'm power swiping.

And then as soon as we got to the gate, he had 50 dates lined up. He just swiped on like 500 women. And he could just like pick who everyone went to dinner with that man. That man's like top 1% on the hinge. I'll just say that. All right. Number five, what percent of stay-at-home parents

are men? This is according to the Census Bureau Statistics in 2020. What percent of stay-at-home parents are met. All right, what do you have? I said five percent. 36 percent. No. That was smooth, Michael. It was 18 percent. Oh, it was out going over. Wow. I actually didn't just do it for that, though. I'm actually pretty shocked by 18 percent. I would have guessed maybe be like seven or eight, so I wanted to go a little lower. Whoa, man, that's wild. 18 percent. One in five stay-at-home parents.

I mean, I guess it makes sense in kind of modern society. It's so funny. I'm like relieved by that. I genuinely thought it was more. I'm like, oh, thank God. You're closer to Gen Z, you know, so you kind of, you kind of see the horrors up close. Oh, yeah. I'm a little more removed. Yeah. All right. Number six, what percentage of people have not gone on a date because of inflation. This is what they claim the reason they're avoiding the date is. This is all thanks to Bidenomics, not to make it all political, but times are hard out there if these single guys. percentage of Gen Z has not gone on a date or of anyone? It was people polled. Have you avoided a date because of inflation? Because the cost of dates

have gone up. People are doing that in South Korea, which is why the South Korean government is now giving a stipend for young people so that they have to take people out on dates. It's great. They're doing more than our government. I love that. That's great. Although we don't have, we don't have the money to give. So we're honest. All right. Brett, Michael, what he got? 29%. 29%. 51. 51. It's actually 35%.

So Brett. So people are still rich is the thing. People are still, they're still, although who knows what the date could be coffee or something? Or they're just swiping their credit cards. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah, credit card debt is also very high. That's interesting. Hand in hand. Yeah. But what's the current score, Regan?

Right now we're at seven for Michael and five for Brett. Oh, I got to work on that. It's pretty close, though. That's striking distance. It is. All right. What percent of online? dating users say they are looking for commitment. So not just hooking up. And do you believe them? I worry this might be hopeful. I'm taking a hopeful stance. Okay. All right, what do you got? 61? 71. Guys, it is 74% of online daters say they're looking for commitment. That's a good answer, but it's bad for me.

But it's good for society. Wow. It's good for society. So I won't be too upset about it. but yikes. One point game. One point game. All right, we could be tied after this one. According to Pew Research, what ethnic group is most likely to be a current or recent user

of a dating app? Is most likely? Most likely to be a current or recent user of a dating app. I feel like this to be a twit question. It's a trick question. Like, percent-wise, this ethnic group gets on a lot of dating app.

Hold on. You're saying they represent the largest number, the most likely number of people on the apps? Are you saying that as a proportion of the overall population of that group, they are more likely to be in the apps? Proportion. So like if there's one Micronesian in America and he's on a dating app, that would be the winner because it's 100% of the Micronesians. Correct. Okay. Oh. And this is the close without going over, obviously. I think this is going to be very racist. I knew Brett was very, very racist. I've known this. No one knows this about Brett.

Yep. She's deeply. I think whether or not this is accurate, I just have to make the joke. I'm going to say, going to get us banned on YouTube again. We're doing so well. Oh, I just have to. We're doing so well. All right.

All right. What do you have, Brett? Indian. Have you seen the men in my DMs? Wow. And you're saying dot, not feather. Okay. Okay. Okay. I say Hispanic.

It's Hispanic. Let's go. Let's go. I almost said white, but then your clarification made me think Hispanic. Wow. Okay. Wow. That's good, Michael. Oh, man. That's because I was just thinking. And again, you know, not having ever done the apps, I just, I was like, what? Because I feel many white people would be detached from it, actually. And they're the greater percent of the population. So like, you don't know, there might be more variability.

there. Man, okay. All right, let's go. All right. On to my personal favorite question of the day. Number nine, which of these is not a real dating site, okay? The options are, flatter.com for people who believe in a flat earth. Vibechack.com, which matches people by their energy. Ghostsingles.com. A site where you can date the dead. Tallfriends.com, where you must be at least six feet or taller. Clown dating.com. A site for practicing clowns, and AshleyMadison.com, a site for married people who want to have a secret affair. And then like every three years, that site gets hacked and all these cheaters get exposed. You said, flatter clown, the adultery one, tall guys. I feel like the ghost one, it's so absurd

that it has to be real. It could be real. There are people marrying dolls now. And themselves, and people marrying themselves. I don't want to rush Michael's drawing, so I'll just wait. We have, Brett. Tall friends. Because I feel like it should be a different name. I said ghost, singles. Ah.

Like it's making it rain, like the single dollar bills? Gotcha. Y'all are both wrong. It is actually vibe check. No. Oh, I thought that one sounded totally real. I know. Thank you.

I worked hard on that name. I think someone should make it. Yeah, they should. But they're all a vibe check. check is the thing, right? Like really all the, the whole point of the dating app is we're checking our vibes, man. So it's like, it's like actually, it's too generic an idea. That's good. That's good. You fooled me. All right. Number 10, what is the average age of a woman who gets married and what is the average age of a man who gets married? So give me two numbers. We'll see who gets closer without going

over. In America. In America. So, all right. What do you all have for women? Go away. Closeest without going over. Close without going over. All right. What do you have? 25 for women, 28 for men. 26 and 31. Oh, it looks like y'all each get a point. It is 27 for women and 29 for men. Ooh. Nice.

It was actually closer than I thought. I thought like the men would be higher too. Yeah, there's all these like red-pilly accounts that say that historically women would get married at age 7, you know, and the men would be like 62 or whatever. But that's not outside of certain geographic areas. That's not true. It's actually much more common historically for the men and women to be pretty close in age. Number 11. What percent of women use height as a filter in apps when they're looking for a date?

Or they could just go to tallfriends.com. Yeah. I don't know. I mean. And what percent of women lie about this? That's. And what percent of men lie about their height? Whoa.

Ain't nobody 511, that's for sure. There's not one 5-11 guy in the country. That is so true. I've never met a single guy in my entire life that said he's legit in 5-11. No one. Oh, my gosh.

I'm ready. All right. What do you have? It's that 64%? Did she go 69 again? No, 94. 94. 94, wow.

Well, y'all are both just bigoted towards these poor short kings. It's 49% of women say they've used it as a filter. I know. There's no way they're not lying on that. That's totally, yeah, that's obviously a lie. So neither of us get a point then. No.

Yeah, wow, okay. They have to because every woman will just at least do their height. They will at least, like, if you're five, say, you'll do, I know at least you'll do that. Unless you are the former president of France. Remember, he had that supermodel wife and he was like four foot eight or something, you know? True. Yeah, Carla Bruni. All right, according to a study by Business Insider, what is the physical trait that most grabs a man's attention?

according to the men or according to reality this is to according to business insider asking a bunch of dudes what grabs their attention first when they see a woman what is the physical trait I'm going to be hopeful come on I want to be like nice to the guys but what would they say

was it a guy asking them the question because I feel like they would answer to a woman very differently very differently It may be sexist of me because it's business insider. I assume that it's a man asking a man. Probably. But that's a lib publication. Right.

What do you have, Brett? Eyes, face. I, too, said face. Yeah. Aw. That's adorable of you guys. It's actually waist to hip ratio, and ideally a 7 to 10 ratio has been found to be the most appealing for men. I almost said hips.

I almost said hips. Wow. Because they wouldn't be too, they wouldn't be so. overt as to say like the other feature that it obviously is. So, but hips is like, right? You can say it's like childbearing hips or whatever. Okay. You know what's unfortunate, though, is the Gen Z style these days is just so counter to that.

Like women these days just where they dress for the female gays instead of the male gays. I was watching this video of this girl and she was like, I love going out and knowing that men will hate my outfit. And it's like this big baggy thing. So it's unfortunate for men looking for that waist to hip ratio. You're talking about those visco girls, huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, Michael.

I learned about that because I had a long time ago. That's a long time ago. I had a babysitter once. 2016. No. I had a babysitter back in like, I don't, not my babysitter, but, you know, like for my kids. And she said something about visco girl. And I was like, what's a visco.

I don't know what a visco is. It was a Tumblr girl. Then it became a visco girl. And now you use Teza. What's Teza? Say photo. editing app because visco is a photo editing app. So you use Teza instead. So you're like,

nobody calls and feels like a Teza girl, but you're on Tesla. My understanding of Visco girl is it's a pretty girl who dresses intentionally ugly. And like with baggy clothes and stuff. That's what I was told it was. Well, Visco, so it's a photo editing app and it's like kind of like a little bit

hipster, but like preppy girl hipster. Like she's not actually like living out of a van. And they would wear like, you know, vans and ripped jeans, that kind of stuff. they were still more feminine than most women are today. That's unfortunate to hear that that's the state of things today. Yeah.

It's rough out there, guys. It's rough. All right. What percent of people think it's socially acceptable to stalk a date online before meeting up? What percent think it's totally fine, somewhat required to stock a date? You say stalk. Do you mean, like, look up their social media profiles? Yeah.

You don't mean, like, you know, like outside the bedroom window or something. Okay. That's how Michael got sweet little Lisa. That's how she got me. All right. What do you have, Michael? It's in 91. 78.

Oops, you can't see it. It's 46. So you guys are really... Hold on. Yes, I got it. I got the point. Hold on. Oh, no, I went over.

You went over a little over. You're telling me that in online dating culture, where you're just meeting up with a stranger who might have a white van parked outside the coffee shop, You're saying most people think it's not acceptable to like look up the guy. That's crazy. That's insane. I think they're talking about not everyone is, I didn't say dating app.

It was just like looking up someone before you're going to date. I think it's people. A lot of people don't use dating apps and they meet in person. They're like, my friend likes this person. I'm going to meet them for the first time. Well, still, like I met Alex and the first thing I did was look up his social media and then I realized all of it was private. So I went to his LinkedIn. I was like that desperate that I was like.

Yeah. LinkedIn is stalking. is generally a good sign too because it at least implies that the person has a job. It's not a guarantee, but it at least implies it. Helpful. Hopeful. All right. Number 15.

What color do men find the most attractive on a woman? He guys are really thinking about this. It's like I stumped you with a color question. Yeah. Question of color. It's unbelievable. Racism. Michael, have you gotten your colors done?

Got my colors? Have your colors done so that you know, you know, what colors best suit your complexion and your eye color? I have not formally. What do you think? What color looks good for me? Well, I don't know. So I'm...

Oh, come on, Brett. You know he's an autumn, obviously. Is that... Is autumn a color? He's a very warm tone guy. Well, I would not... Like, I always thought that I was in autumn because I have green eyes and dark brown hair, but I'm not.

Well, you have a very fair skin. So that's what I'm a winter. I'm the coldest winter that you can be. So I don't know what I would say. Maybe I would even, I might even say summer. I'm a summer. I think we all know that. Italian. Yeah, a little Sicilian summer over here. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, okay. The real question is, is Michael Horacellanoly or vertical? Because that would determine a lot of the clothes he's going to wear. On a date? I think you're a vertical. Is that a thing? Oh, yeah. Oh, what about this? Are you, are you a decaf or are you regular? Oh, I'm a red eye, I think.

I'm a red eye with two zins on the side, you know. Yep, which is why you need to, when you get married, you have to find your kind of, you know, your opposite. So, like, more of a regular or a decaf. So if you're a decaf, you've got to find your, like, double shot of espresso. Ooh. Yeah, we should go back to the question, I guess. You got to pick one color, guys.

That's all I got to do. Also, Brett, you should do this test with your husband, have him wear a crew cut, same exact shirt, put on a V-neck, and see which one looks better. He will look like a completely different person if you do this back-to-back. And he's a vertical or horizontal. Interesting. Oh, I'm a V-neck guy.

I'm a... I don't think I've ever seen him in a V-neck. And I think I would be very concerned if I did. All right, what do you have? I have red. I too have red. Red is correct. Yay!

You guys are back on the board. That was a very simple... All right, what's the score currently? Michael has 10 and Brett has 8. All right. Still in striking distance. It is. Yikes.

Here we go. How much time do millennials spend, on average, swiping per week? Just... On dating apps or in general? No, just walking around and doing this, no, yeah, dating apps. On dating apps, okay. Do millennials on the average of millennials who use dating apps? Michael, don't ruin this for me.

Yeah, because it's going to be a totally different number if it's the millennials who use dating apps versus like married millennials who are not on the Ashley Madison. They're not on... Oh. See what I mean? It would tank the number. Well, I think on Aschle Madison, I don't think you swipe.

Okay, all right. No, but you know what I'm saying, so we're saying, like if there's one millennial who spends this whole week doing it and the rest of them don't, then the number's zero. Well, it would just, well, no, it'd still average out a little bit, right? It would average out to statistically zero. Well, it's like, I mean, we're not going to be one and a million different millennials not doing it. So I'm not getting a straight answer here.

These are totally different numbers I'd give. Okay, let's say millennials who have dating apps. Okay, all right. How much time do they spend on them per week? All right, bro, do you have? Five and a half hours. I said seven. Oh, actually, okay.

To be, I have to be fair, because Reagan's also going to kill me if I don't. It's technically 6.8 hours. I put seven in the prompter, but it's actually 6.8. What was in the prompter? It's seven, but it's not true. I rounded up just to make it easier because I didn't think you'd get that close, but it's actually, it's 6.8. It is 6.8.

Hold on, you didn't think there was a chance. I think you get it. You thought, oh, no, no, there's no chance that someone would guess seven over the answer of 6.8 in a game where you have to get closest for that going over. You just didn't. No, and then someone's going to look this up and crush me in the comments. And so, like, we're just, it is 6.8. I did look it up. It's 6.8. Boom. Yeah. So, sorry. Sorry. What's the score? Reagan? Are you good? Michael has 10 and Brett has 9. So you're getting close.

All right. Here we go. What does the average date night cost? This is the closest without going over to an exact number. When was the study conducted? We got to go to the month, by the way. I believe this study was actually 2022. So, it was that. Date night.

So this is not, we're not going out to coffee. This is not. Date night. This is dinner. Dinner's involved. Dinner. Yeah. Oh, man.

I want my number to be clear. I want my number to be clear. Okay. All right, Michael. have? I said $57. Brett. $120. Oh, $1.16.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Brett, you're going out with those high rollers. What? I know. This is screwing me over.

I'm taking my dates out to Waffle House. You know, that, wow. Where are you guys going? Dorsey or something? Now, this is a gentleman's game. always a chance here. Michael, you could wager your points for a double or nothing bonus question. Oh, yeah. Can I? Oh, could I, Ben? Hold on. You're telling me I could either win right now, or I could, without any reason whatsoever, lose. You're saying? You're saying that? Oh, yeah. Well,

that... No, I'm taking my win. All right. And there you have it. Can we get the bonus just to hear what the question will? Sure. Are you ready? There's a lot in the line here. All right, focus up. Bonus question. How did Matt Walsh meet his wife? No, okay, I won't give the answer I was going to give because I like Alyssa Walsh. I'm not going to, if we're just insulting that, my answer, I don't think. If Brett knows the answer, can she get any points?

Well, there are no points to it anyway. But I do want to try to guess at least before. I think I know what it is. I would love to give a hint, but I'm very fair and, balance that I won't do that. I think I've heard the answer before, but like all people in politics and media, when I was hearing something about anyone else, I was just thinking of something that concerned me, so I wasn't, I didn't process it. I actually had to double check my source here and was messaging someone in the inner circle. I was like, just to confirm, this is, this is true. I don't,

it's really difficult because I, on the one hand, you know, Alyssa, Walsh is great. So that implies certain contexts. But on the other hand, Matt is Matt. So like, that implies other contexts where I don't know. I don't know how the two meet. I don't know. I give up. I have no clue. I think they met on a dating app. No. Not like an app. I think like online. Like if it was plenty of fish or match, but I'm pretty sure. The correct answer is match.com. Yes. Really? I knew it. I remember that story. I remember there was a time where he was talking about how,

I think he was working at the radio station or something like that, and he was like dead broke. And then Alyssa clipped that on Twitter and was tweeting about it. And was like, I saw something in him. You know, we made no money, but he had like so much passion. And, you know, when I saw him on Match.com, and I always thought that was so funny,

now it came in handy. Wow. That's amazing. I think Brett deserves half a point for that. I agree. Whatever the maximum amount of points where I still Do you still win? Yeah.

There we go. Wow. To the Victor goes to spoils. So Brett Cooper, would you please give Michael a 30 second commercial for why people should watch the Michael Nulls show? Of course.
