GEMZ, 20.8%. Look at that. How do you like that? It's almost the exact number I gave. What they're saying is 72% of that group are saying we're heterosexual. Hold on. Wait, it's now gayer than one in five.

Apparently. That can't be real. The lips have gone wild, and it's no longer confined to the red-like districts of Portland. It's being spread all over the Senate here in room floor. It's going topless on the White House lawn, and maybe most disturbingly, all of this degeneracy is being posted all over TikTok.

over TikTok. Now, who would know more about this phenomenon on TikTok than the person who made their name covering such clips? Michael Knowles, whose whole show is basically reacting to clips from lives of TikTok. But does he know more about woke lingo culture and degeneracy than Chaya Racheck? Who is actually lives of TikTok? We're going to find out in this episode of Face Off. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for coming on the show. Thank you for having me on my own show, Ben. And Chaya, thank you very much for coming on. I can't tell who has more of an advantage on this because you obviously are the source of all of these great lib videos. But I shamelessly steal them every single day and you end up writing like a third of my show.

So I can't tell. I might have spent more time with your content than you have. I sometimes I have to do so much research into this stuff. And when you, like there's so many genders and sexuality and stuff, I sometimes have to watch a video. literally 25 times, I'm not even exaggerating, before I post it, because it's so freaking confusing. And I mean, the definitions change daily, and there's new flags and new terms every single day. It's so hard to keep up. So I'm a little nervous.

I got to say. It was extremely confusing coming up with each question for this episode. But what's not confusing are the instructions for how we're going to play face-off. Are you ready? I'm ready. Yeah. Question one. What is a turf?

We thought we'd warm up with an easy one, you know, get the ball rolling. 10 seconds. This is taking Michael a long time. Yeah, you might have an advantage on this one. All right, hi, what do you got? Trans-exclusionary, radical feminist. Michael? I have the same answer, but I, here, I'll get it on camera.

But I also drew a little picture of a witch at the top for J.K. Rowling, because she's probably the most famous one. I mean, maybe you get two points for that. I don't know. You are both correct. Point for both. Yeah, I don't think you get points for extra pictures. Do I not? Especially not that picture.

All right. Number two, what is a demi-boy? Is it A, a gendered identity for someone who identifies fully as a boy but is exploring other gender expressions? B, a gender identity describing someone who is partially but not wholly identifying as a boy. C, a historical title given to a young nobleman in medieval societies. Or D, a young Jewish man who watches Star Wars and has a bad taste in music. Did you not catch that, Michael? No.

Who do you know that as a young Jewish boy who watches Star Wars and has a bad taste of music? Oh, I couldn't tell if it was like, I couldn't tell if it was a Shapiro jab, but no, it's a Professor Jake. Because Ben's not that young anymore. He's turned 40. He's an adult now. You know, you're right. Professor Jacob is a demi boy. But even still, I'm going to put, I might put down a different answer. Okay. Ben, Star Wars? Ben? Yeah. He actually isn't a Star Wars all the time, yeah. Yeah.

I never watched Star Wars, and I actually put out a poll on Twitter yesterday if I should watch it or not, and I think I'm going to be forced to watch it now, because everyone's voting yes. The first movie is fine. The second movie is kind of fun and maybe better. And then pretty much all the other ones are charitable, like the other 57 movies that they've made. But the first two are kind of fun. All right. Let's see it. We have A, B, C, or D. I say B. I say B. Me too. That's correct. It is B. Not Professor Jacob. Not Professor Jacob. That's correct.

Because obviously, it's like a demi-god, you know? It's not a god who's exploring other states of being. It's someone who's like half this and half that, and you know. And Ben Spiro has a great taste of music. He's a great producer of music. Yeah. But that's true. Number one rap artist.

Oh, yeah. All right. Number three. How many colors were on the original Pride flag in 1978? This actually changed because of manufacturing reasons on the flag. 10 seconds. Are you done, Michael? I'm done.

All right, what do you got? I say four. Six. The answer is eight. So neither one of you guys got a point. Eight? I thought, see, when you said manufacturing reasons, I assumed it was just hard for them to print all the different colors.

And so it was a smaller number. Well, yeah, the original Pride flag had more. And so they changed it later because it had too many. Oh. So what has it done now? I think now it has six and I think it's right. But the original one had eight. Hot pink for sex, of course. Red for life.

Orange for healing. Yellow for sunlight. Green for nature. Turquoise for art. Indigo for harmony and violet for spirit. Wow. Turquoise for art. Is I get half a point because I was half for eight?

Yeah. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. There's so much more to say first, though.

Number four. What is systemic oppression? Is it A, a term used to describe big tech companies limiting or removing all the best content posted on certain social media channels. B, the experience of repeated widespread discrimination by individual members of society without any backing of institutional system? C, a policy implemented by government, to segregate or limit the freedom of specific groups based purely on temporary conditions, or D, the institutionalized prejudice rooted in historical inequities that affects certain groups across all levels of society, including political, social, and economic. Man, this is a tricky one.

This is a tricky one, man. We might be official, like, definition according to who? Google. Oh. They get more eager and moretier with these. I say D. D. D. That is correct.

Man, we're tight. Is this 3-3 now? What is it? 3-3. 3-3. It's going to be a good one. There is a tie break at the end, so don't worry. We've had that happen before. What if we both get that one right, too? That's not going to happen.

It's one of the Star Wars questions, you know? There's no way you're going to get. Oh, but I never watch Star Wars. I'm screwed. All right. Number five. What does this flag represent? Can I ask a question?

Sure. Does this have to do with gender, or it's a different topic? It involves stuff, which is how all this stuff. Okay, well, that actually changes my answer. Oh, man, I just helped him. Okay. Russian black pie. I think.

Okay, I just wrote furries and I made a little animal. I don't know, something with furries, animals. That is a great guess. Fortunately, neither one of you guys got it right. The answer is, it's the polyamory pride flag. The polyamory. Pie. So is the pie, is it because it's because polyamorous orgies are irrational?

Is that why? Like, where is the pie coming? I actually thought that might be the reason why. That makes more sense than what I can guess there. I don't think pie in there. Is it maybe because when you have someone, bend himself over into a complete circle, and then you try to insert another person in the orgy as the diameter

that when you try to divide the two, you end up with pie? Is that it? Or did I just put that image in your head for no reason? Michael, we're trying to stay on YouTube. Got it. Got it. Okay. Now we'd have to think about this all day.

Yeah, and I don't want to, but I might have to also. Yeah. All right. Number six, according to Pew Research, what state is the most live? what is the highest percent of the population is liberal. Huh. Uh.

It's not the most populous in terms of libs. You're saying the highest percentage of liberalism. Okay. This is a tough one. Time. Massachusetts? Oh, my God. You guys both got it right.

Whoa. That is so, no one else at the entire Daily Wire office got that right. No, you know why? because, you know, everyone wants to say Oregon or something, but Oregon is conservative. It's just Portland, which is liberal. Exactly. And we're like Washington, Seattle is liberal, but the rest of it's conservative. So, but Massachusetts, everyone's a lit.

There are like no conservatives except for the three people that voted for Scott Brown in 2010. Exactly. I have the exact same thought. And like, and people say they think California, but it's only L.A. and San Francisco. Or like New York, but it's only New York City. Everything else is not. And I post so much about Massachusetts. It's like it might be, it's definitely, it might be the number one.

And I'm like, I know Massachusetts. Yeah. What's crazy about it is it's only 36 or 38 percent, which is, that's shocking. That is the highest one. But there are several states that are 50 percent conservative. And only like four or five states have more liberals than conservative, which is crazy that, you know, a lot more elections aren't won by conservatives as that's the case. because that's always the way it is though.

But the conservatives are kind of because they're conservative because they're just normal and content and happy. They're less politically engaged. It's always the minorities, the concerted political minorities, like the Bolsheviks, Bolshevik meaning like the majority, but it was really a small number of people. But they're always the ones who win the revolutions. So you get up to 40% or whatever in Massachusetts, you're done. You're toast. Yeah. There's not even anything.

Like Massachusetts is a lost cause. Like there's nothing. could do there. Yeah. All right, on that Blackfield moment, what is queer baiting? Is it A, what is queer baiting? Queer beading? Queer baiting? It's what happens you know, when the conservatives come to power.

Wait, no, I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. Like, B-A-I-T? Yeah, kind of like fishing, queer baiting. Not B-E-A-T. I wasn't sure, okay. I don't know what queer beving would be. I don't know why that image in my eyes. Sure, there's a website for it. I'm sure I'll be featured soon. I'll lose the TikTok. Is it A, a marketing strategy that includes exclusive LGBTQ content to appeal directly to that demographic? Is it B, the practice in media and entertainment of hinting at, but not actually depicting same-sex romance or LGBTQ plus themes

to attract an LGBTQ plus audience? Is it C, a genre, a genre, of literature that focuses primarily on LGBTQ plus characters and stories, or D, doing a soft-shoe dance routine in your show's cold open. You know, you won't give me the point for it, but there's a clear answer here. Obviously. And you won't give me the point, but it's okay. When you asked the question, I was thinking, I was like, what could that word possibly mean? And that was what I was thinking of.

That was the answer that I came up with. But I know you won't give me the point for it. Okay. Who made up this term? The left? I think it's the left. I've heard the word before, though I've never heard it. Like, I've never heard the definition of it exactly, but I think it's the libs who, like the

libs use the word angrily. They use it. Such and such as queer baiting. Yeah, yeah. Okay. This is, this is tough. I might, I might, this might be where we split or top. This is where, okay.

I'll take it. All right, Michael, what do you got? I say B. Oh, I was between A and B. What did you, would you draw there? Oh, it's a little dancing with a martini on a desk. It was kind of hedging my bets, you know? I feel you.

It actually, you didn't need to because the answer is B. Okay. Michael takes the lead. They're hinting at it, but not willing to commit, you know, so it's queer betting. This was actually a term that came up during our interview with Nala Ray, where she talked about on a website that we can't mention on YouTube. That's right. How straight men will pretend a certain way to attract more viewers who are homosexual.

That's right. In the conservative movement, we call it the old Bill Buckley approach. you know, which is why a little bit, little ethos, little thumos we take from that. You might have forgotten that Father's Day is around the corner. And as such, you might have no idea what to get him. Don't worry, I've got you covered. Treat him to a box of Mayflower Cigars.

One of the, there's a transvestite at Media Matters, who I think called me that one time. But I don't know exactly. I'm like questioning everything I've been doing the past few years because I don't think I've ever been called that. Yeah, I don't know. There's this one. You know the one, I won't say his name on air, but he, you know, there's that one transvestite at Media Matters and he gets paid to watch our content. But he called me that, I think. So I don't, I assume it means a devilishly handsome Sicilia. We'll see if it's one of the answers here. Is it number A, a person who is primarily attracted

to individuals because they belong to a specific, marginalized group? Is it B, a term used to describe someone who actively seeks relationships with people significantly younger than themselves? C, a nickname for someone who participates in competitive dating or relationship games. Or D, an attention seeker who spends their time doxing

while also trying to keep their own intimacy by covering their face with medical masks in public in 2024. For example, Taylor Lewens. There's a lot of terms I would use to describe Taylor. Most of them will probably get a fencer on YouTube. But I don't think chaser's one of them. When I was a kid, this will date me. But when I was a youth, a chaser was that little shot of pickle juice you'd have after the whiskey.

You know what I'm talking about that? I don't do. I don't do whiskey. I don't like whiskey. But on social media, I mean, it's like Schalt Chaser, you know, that's a term that's used. It's like a Twitter slang, Chaser. I mean, when I was a kid, we used Chaser, I guess, when we played tag. That's true.

This is not quite as wholesome as that. Yeah. Ten seconds. People ask me, I say, Chaser, I hardly know her. Okay, I think we've exhausted all of the puns and synonyms or hominims, I suppose. Can I say homonym on air or is that homophobic? Unless YouTube updates its guidelines, you're fine. Okay.

I said the first one. I kind of gave it away, right? That's correct. I did. Okay. I shouldn't have given it away. Maybe I would have pulled ahead. You're a hundred.

You're winning me by one point. I am? You are still currently ahead by one point. Oh, okay. All right. Great. Yes, there's a lot of pressure right now here. Okay.

All right. What is a femme? Is it A, someone who's gender expression? is feminine, B, a style of fashion characterized by exaggerated femininity, often used in theatrical performances or drag shows. C, a type of behavior in social interactions that emphasizes gentleness and empathy traditionally associated with female gender roles, or D, a dance style that involves fluid, graceful movements often performed in heels and traditionally associated with female dancers.

This is the first really hard one, because they're so similar. In a way, I want to do C just because we haven't had any C answers yet. This is really tricky one because they're, you know. I got my answer. Okay. All right. What do you have? A.

Wow, it is A. There we go. Someone who's gender expression is feminine. Because it, you know, it was the most general. And then I always think, you know, the thing that they do is they say, you know, like, I'm a demi-trans, you know, queer, homo boy girl. And you're like, what does that mean? And they have some gobbledy go.

And you try to pin it down. You say, wait, so you're a boy in a dress. Well, you don't have to wear a dress. Like, okay, you're a boy who thinks you want to wear a dress. You don't have to want to wear a dress. And it's all any time you try to pin it down, they say, well, you don't have to do that. And so I figure you go with the most general one, which is like you kind of feel vaguely feminine. So there it is.

Yeah, I've just, I've seen dozens of TikToks where they're like showing off how they look. And they're like, oh, I'm a femme girl or I'm a femme boy. So I actually kind of knew that line that it was referring to dress and looks in general. All right. Well, getting off the stuff for a minute. Yeah. Number 10, according to the Gutmire Institute, which two states are tied for being the most pro-abortion? You get one point for each.

This is Guttmacher. This is Planned Parenthoods think tank. Guttmacher. The most pro-abortion. Terms at sheer numbers or proportionality? No, like the most laws in fact. favor of, like the most crazy protections. Oh, okay.

I'll list you the protections after we get through. Oh. Got it. Okay. Yeah, not like most abortions happen there. It's just the craziest laws to help with that process. The two? The top two?

What if we get like one right and one wrong? Do we get half points on this one? No, you'll get one point for each. One of for each. Okay. All right. Two states. Okay.

Oh. I got my answer. Pull down. Pull down. No, no, no. Okay. I'm going back to my first. Okay.

All right. All right. Let's see what we got. Okay. California and Illinois. Oregon and New York. I have a little hair gel there for Gavin Newsom by California. According to the Gubmire Institute, the two correct answers were Oregon and Vermont.

Vermont, okay. I knew it was Oregon. Oregon, you can kill a baby up until the moment of birth, like without question, basically. I know Alaska has a lot of abortions, but I don't think the laws, I don't think it's a matter of their laws, just being super liberal. I think it's also just cultural practice. New York, though, you can kill a baby up. until the moment of birth, too. They had, you know, Andy Cuomo lit up the Empire State Building in, or the World Trade Center

in pink. So I'm sort of surprised New York doesn't rank up there, but I'll take my one point. That's fine. I mean, it ranks really high up there, but doesn't have all these laws to keep it in practice. One, it's not restricted based on gestation duration, obviously. The state constitution protects it. State Medicaid funds cover it. Wow.

Private health insurance plans are required to cover abortion. Qualified health care professionals, not solely physicians, can also provide it. state provides protections from harassment and physical harm for anyone entering an abortion clinic, and the state has a shield law to protect abortion providers from investigations by other states and may cover also patients and support of their organizations. That's like North Korea levels of killing babies. Yeah, it's wild. We got a burst in on my abortion laws.

Is California at least like third? I mean, did you see that video from Newsom like the other week where he's like, people and cars are getting stopped and women are getting pulled out of their car than being thrown in jail for getting an abortion? Yeah. I watched a video and I thought, you know, the ladies, first of all, no one's proposing this, but second of all, they are going to kill like one of their children. That's not, you know, like, I don't know, I didn't totally sympathize with the protagonist but anyway. It's like some weird Democrat fantasy. Like they actually, they wish this was happening. It is encouraging when you see the map, obviously those, the two worst ones, but all the

pro-life states are, there's much more of those colors taking over the map. Apple, you say, than all the pro-abortion ones. All right, number 11. Define a mask spelled M-A-S-C. Is it A, a style of makeup characterized by subtle, natural-looking enhancements typically aimed at a male audience? B, a term used within the LGBTQ-plus community to describe an identity or presentation that is associated with masculinity.

Is it C, a term for the use of makeup used to better align oneself with the gender they prefer, often a large amount, to look more like a physical mask, or D, someone whose gender expression is masculine, sometimes used as a derogatory term for lesbians, but it can also be claimed as an affirmative identity label, similar to the term Butch. This is tough. All right, whatever. I got it.

I said B? Yeah, me too. They both said B. The answer is D. Is it D? Oh, I was between B and D. Some people are proud masks. Proud mask.

But isn't it, wouldn't it therefore also be B? Yeah. It's a gender expression that is associated with masculinity. Like even if you say like, well, yeah, but it's also kind of like the term bull or something and it's lesbian sort of use it too or whatever. You know, it doesn't, like that's true, but that's just a specific instantiation of the general rule of B. I agree with Michael.

You guys just blew my mind. I think you're absolutely correct. That definitely would still make sense. So we'll both get a point. Let's go, all right. There we go. It'll be nine by two, but. All right.

Number 12. What does this flag represent? Oh, I know this, I think. Is it like gay anarchist? It's like the anarchist flag, but we're very decadent. There is an anarchist flag, but. Is this multiple choice or no? No, this is not multiple choice.

Okay. I think I know what it is. Okay, hold on. I think I got it. How many. flags are there. Too many, to be honest with you. We can do it just flags and have a whole episode.

Yeah, yeah. I got it. This one's a gimme. All right, what do you have? That's the flag of the gay pandas. This is 8thexual pride? This is actually the ally pride flag. So if you are just an ally, you can have as much pride as everybody else going through the crowd. Wow.

Yeah. It actually came up. It was more popular in the early 2000s. I wonder what the 8thexual flag is. I wonder if it's similar. Yeah, and do we know what the gay panda flag is then? There was a bear flag that I almost used, but I'm not saying. Meaning like the big, like the big gay guys? Yeah.

Yeah, yikes. You know, you can always create that, Michael. And then you're- The gay panda one. Yeah, I think you should. That's a good idea. Maybe I'll draw that in the corner while we're answering these questions. We can add that to the merch shop.

It'd be pretty great. Yeah. All right. Number 13. What country has the highest share of people identifying as LGBTQ. Plus. This is multiple choice. What country? Yeah. This is multiple choice.

Is it A, Brazil, B, Spain, C, Switzerland, D, Great Britain, E, the Netherlands. Greatest increase in the number of, or you're saying that just the highest proportion? The highest share of people identifying like a percent of their population. Yeah, okay. Are these old, like, where does the U.S. fall in? Not this bad. Not this good. It's how you look at it.

All right. What do you have? D. Great Britain. Well, all the Brits are kind of gay, but they still get married and have kids and stuff. I said A, Brazil, and then also that's my gay panda. It's a panda holding a cosmo with a limp wrist. Do you have colorful markers, though? Because we didn't know the colors of the flag. That's true. You're right. I only have the black one. I only, it's not going to.

We can just keep it black. Yeah. The answer is A, Brazil. Let's go. Oh, man. I was debating between Brazil and Great Britain. Yeah. No, I'm not saying, because they're all, you know, they're like a little Latin, you know, they're a little fluid down there.

Okay. All right, baby. Second was actually Spain. In Chaya's defense, though, in Britain, I assume every single man who attended any prep school, you know, had a little of the history boys' treatment. So technically, Chaya's probably right, too. The history boys' treatment? You know, you never saw that play.

You never, yeah. That's a deep cut. Probably in terms of like, in terms of the culture in the country, great, I wonder if Great Britain would be first from all of those options. Yeah. That's what I was thinking, but okay. There's a lot of. I don't recover from this. I'm down free point.

This is rough. I don't know how there are, but I'm pretty much giving up hope over here. Oh, yeah, we got some questions left. And also, Great Britain's got a lot more Sharia law coming in, so it's probably pushing to that out. That's true. You're right. I should have thought of that. It's true. Number 14. What is an egg?

A. An oval or round object laid by a female bird, reptile, or fish. B, a phase in gender studies referring to the initial period of exploring gender fluidity before adopting a specific identity. C, a term used in psychology to describe the natural developmental stage of forming one's gender identity in adolescence. D, someone who is But doesn't know it yet Someone who is an embryo Of the person they will eventually hatch into

They all kind of sounded like the same thing to me I know the term egg You know, I've heard it before I'd never heard it If only that's the term they were teaching kids in school Would be fine, right? It's like an egg, it's just laid by birds and stuff I say B

What do you have The answer is D D What was D though? Wait, it's like this Yeah, but This is already predetermined. What they're saying is like you don't, you know,

decide to be transly, you just are trans. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, you just don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually very big on Reddit. And there's like petos and groomers and creepy predators who are like, let's crack that kid's, you know, that kid isn't an egg. Let's crack her egg or whatever.

Like to try to be trans. Yeah. Right. No, that's what that is like obviously part of this whole, like, when people call the ideology a groomer ideology, this is the kind of thing they're talking about, right? It's like, hey, kids, you probably have the same weird hang up that I do. I just got to bring it out, oga, boca, boogie, you know, and that's, and now those people are in your library.

Right. And they're in your kindergarten kids classroom, and they get off on confusing kids. Yeah, oh, gross. Egg. Yeah. It's a shame none of that can go on YouTube, but. Well, keeping on gross stuff. Number 15, what is the name of the staffer who was caught doing something, something,

only meant for procreation in the Senate hearing room. Oh. I thought you were going to say the one who went topless, and I already started writing it, but then it wasn't that. Now, in the Senate hearing room. Allegedly. Is it? Oh, I don't know.

He denied it at first, didn't he? I don't, even though it was on video. It's like what they do to me. Yeah. They're like, no, we're not teaching your first grader about pronouns, and I'm like, here's a video of a teacher teaching their first graders about pronouns. They're like, no.

She's lying. Okay, I got it. All right, what do you have? Aiden? Aiden is correct. Hold on, you got to do the full name or you do it with just one name counts. No, just one name counts. What do you have, Mike?

I have Eric Swalwell. But I'm mostly joking because I know that all of Eric Swalwell's sex stuff involves female Chinese spies and not... Well, that we know of. You're right. Hey, you're right. Michael, we don't know who the person with the camera was. Probably know.

Can I get half credit on the possibility? Just to put that out of the ether. I'll give you a point just for that. No, actually, what is the final score now? Yikes. Nice home stretch there. Don't call it a comeback. I'm losing by one, I think.

You are. It's 10-9, Michael. Is it over? Did I win? We have a bonus question, but only, you know, if you want to go double or nothing. If I want to risk it? Yeah. So we got a bonus. Do we have a tie break or after the bonus?

Like, what if we don't? Okay, so then it could be a tie. There's no way you can tie on this. Okay. It's who gets closer to the percent. So the odds of you actually getting the same percent would be like no way. Okay. But that's only if you want to, Michael. You are the champion currently has to stand. Now, do you want to wager and go all in on a devil or nothing? Final question? Yes.

All right. I don't stand to gain anything. So there's a really stupid bed of me. Like I could only lose. but, you know, whatever. I'm not a great gambler. You feel that high going? You don't want to lose that? I feel like I just popped in like four Zins.

Let's go, baby. Yeah, I have so much pressure here right now. I'm sweating. All right, here we go. What percent of Gen Z adults identify as something other than straight or heterosexual? So how does this work? The closer... Is it like closest without going over?

No, just closest. I don't like the going over thing. Like meritocracy. So basically what percent of Gen Z is gay? I'm getting nervous just sitting here now. Does that include eggs? Does that, like if you're an egg, do you count in... Yeah, you could identify as that.

So it's just anything other than... But I'm saying, what if they don't know? Like, if they're an egg, they don't know, right? But so do they count? Well, they wouldn't be able to answer it, so actually no, they wouldn't, Michael. They wouldn't count, but they're still the thing. So really, whatever the number is, multiply it by two, because all the eggs. All the eggs up there. So gross.

Well, they probably... If they know they're an egg, they're probably already identifying a something else. But what I'm saying is- They're a label on themselves already. I thought the definition of an egg was a guy who's trans, but he doesn't know it. Kind of like when Norm MacDonald said he was a deeply closeted homosexual, but he's not gay. Like if you don't, if you're not aware, you can never be aware that you're an egg. Because the moment you're aware of it, you're not an egg anymore.

You're just trans. So the way that the term is used, it's like people who are starting already. ready to think that maybe they need a label. So then I want credit for my previous answer, Mr. Davies, because what Kaya just said is that my answer was kind of right. How are you like that? Kind of right does not cut it. All right.

Whatever. All right. I think I have the answer. A lot of legwork there. Yeah. One second. I have two written down. And I have to decide between these two.

All right. Okay. What do you have? I say 20.1%. I have 20. 26%. It's 28%. Oh, I was going to rate 28 also.

No, it's not. Brutal. Hold on. According to what study? Hold on. I'm calling in. I don't buy this for a second. Even like 26.

I was like, it's a little low. That's why I wrote 32 in the corner. Yeah. And with all the X. This is not. What study are, I'm pulling out the. Wait, so it's a tie. No, you won.

You was double or nothing. Uh-uh. Yes. Uh-uh. Look at this. Hold on. Hold on. NBC News July, what'd you say? NBC said that it was from the study that NBC was quoted in nearly 30% of the agency. One in five. Hold on.

I did you with nearly 30. I saw that study. That's why I wrote 32. No. I have the study. I have the NBC News article right here. One in five adult members of Gen Z self-identifies LGBT. That would be 20%. No, but it's also just, it's not just LGBT. Oh, it's because there was a caveat of something other than, like, there's also voted to add to it. Hold on.

I don't, I'm not buying this. What if they're like non-binary if they're not gay, you know, or not? No, I don't, hold, I want to see your work here. I don't believe this for a second. Can you pull? Okay, the article actually doesn't give the numbers. I want, let's just end this before Michael

continues research. No, hold on. Can you send Michael a text with the article that we pulled? Yeah, I want to see that, I want to see that. I want to see the numbers here. I don't know what's more impressive. Michael's pride and arrogance going to that last question. Bro.

Zoom in on this. Here we go. February 19th, 2022, Axios reporting, the number of LGBTQ identifying adults is soaring. Gen Z, 20.8%. Look at that. How do you like that?

It's almost the exact number I gave. What's the date on that? February 19th, 2022. It's saying people that identify as LGBTQ or not heterosexual? How many people are identifying as heterosecic? So what they're saying is 72% of that group are saying we're heterosexual. And the other ones... And that's two years ago.

The NBC one was much more recent. It's getting gayer out there. Hold on. Wait, it's get, it's, it is now gayer than one in five. Yeah. Apparently. That can't, that can't be real. Wow. Well, you know what?

I'm not even going to dispute it. I'll, I'll take the tie in my great magnanimity. After spending five minutes' giants in it's beauty. No, I still, hold on. hold to Ben Davies's statistical error, and I'm sure they'll sort it out in the comments. But if it is the case that our society is getting even gayer than one in five, then we've all lost anyway. At that point, it doesn't matter. But you know who didn't lose was Chia? And she gets a 30-second read from you, Michael. And what do you want to plug? Wait, I thought it's a tie. No, she won.

It was 10 to 9. It was all in on that. It was double. It was like you're going all in on one question. I'm going double on all my points, so she got 20 to 10 or something? I thought that's what we agreed upon. This is classic Ben Davies statistics. This is where he got the 30% number. Okay, but I'll do a commercial anyway. Lives of TikTok is not only one of the most important social media channels out there. It is also probably in the top five of all news sources in the world right now.

And most important of all constitutes at least a fifth. Though I don't know, probably Ben Davies would put it at 30% of the stories on my show every single day and everyone should follow lips of TikTok. Well, thank you. Am I going to get a panda pride flag as my prize? I erased it, unfortunately. But, wow. We'll just get Jeremy on it. He'll just start a new company and have the pride flags go. I'm sure we'll get you one very, very soon. Wait, so this is only the second time that Michael lost. Yeah. It's still just. Disputed, but yeah, that's what...

And he lost to me out of how many episodes? Like a billion? I would say that, you know, depending on how this thing is finally scored, I will admit that I lost in about the same way that Trump lost the 2020 election. Yeah. I was just going to say,

you're almost a competition denier. Like, what do you think double or nothing means, Michael? I didn't know I could wager the points I had already won. When did that happen? When did that happen? You want to hear. It's double the point. I want this fair and square.

And so hold on. What is the non-straite, non-LGB identity? There's a lot of weird identities out there. And apparently, people are identifying as it. As pandas. I don't know. Honestly, that was found by young or the lovely Markella. And so she was just added all of them up.

It's obviously fake. But it's okay. We accept the ruling for now. Maybe we challenge it. it in court. This will be good for the comments, though, you know, when we get it moving. Michael won. Team Michael for life. I'm sure I was news. I'm actually shocked right now. It was a great performance. The comeback was really the whole thrust of it. I don't mean to use the term thrust in an LGBT episode. There's so many images in my head after this. Oh my God.

I need a detox. Yeah, you're describing that flag, Michael. I was like, good Lord. This seems like an 18 plus episode on YouTube. It's going to get the explicit warning. Yeah. For sure.
