He's not a politician. It's an influencer. You said I'm starting off hot. So it's a guy and it's gonna be. Does he have black hair?
Savvy
Yes.
Jake
Is he tall?
Savvy
Yes. Not gay according to him. Not gay, but does some of the gayest stuff you've ever imagined people doing.
Jake
Whoa.
Savvy
Alrighty, folks. As you can see, I'm here wearing an incredibly stupid headband, which means we are about to play headbands 10 bands, which is a game in which Savvy and I, we will be wearing apparently pictures of humans upon these headbands. I can't see my own picture. She can see my picture and vice versa. And so then we have to guess, using questions alone, who actually is in our headband. Alrighty. Are you ready for us to humiliate ourselves?
Jake
I have to start. Boring. I'm sorry. Is it a man or a woman?

Jake
Okay, black athlete, Tiger Woods.
Savvy
Yes.
Jake
Did Jake do this game? Way to go.
Savvy
Very good. Now, was I wrong? I believe the Tiger woods did drugs. Was it just alcohol? I mean, it depends on.

So every time. Is she Jeff Bezos wife?
Jake
Yes. What's her name?
Savvy
I don't remember her name. That's irrelevant. Why is she relevant to my life? She literally. She's famous for being Jeff Bezos next door neighbor who he decided to knock boots with and then marry.

Savvy
I think so. I don't know the answer to that.
Jake
A faithful man?
Savvy
I don't know the answer to that.
Jake
Does he believe in Jesus?
Savvy
He says he does, but I would have to leave it to others to discern whether that is.
Jake
Is he old?
Savvy
He's middle aged.
Jake
Middle aged. What is up with all these social media people? Switch it out.
Savvy
It was Buckley Carlson, you guys. That's why I looked at him. I was like, there's no way. You're not getting Buckley Carlson.

Savvy
No way.
Jake
Is that his brother?
Savvy
That is his brother.
Jake
The one that he just did the podcast with?
Savvy
Yeah, multiple podcasts with. He's like Bizarro World Tucker. Well, guys, I hope that that was less painful for you than it was for Savvy. I know we're all now older than we were at the beginning of this video.
Jake
Can you try that again with Lauren Sanchez? Off your head. Let's both just throw it off.
Savvy
Okay. Yeah. Well, you guys hate this game. Well, what I like about how you folded this was that you folded her cleavage out of the picture, which is good. I appreciate that our ratings are higher if you show this side of the picture, but they're lower if you show that. Anyway.
Jake
Is you black?
Savvy
No.

Host: The Daily Wire
Summary By: Podcast Summarizer AI
This special episode of The Ben Shapiro Show diverges from its usual news breakdowns and political commentary as Ben (referred to as “Savvy” throughout the game) and Jake dive into a lively game of “Headbands 10 Bands,” a celebrity guessing game akin to “Guess Who?” The duo dons headbands with celebrity names and must identify their own secret person by asking yes-or-no questions. The episode is defined by its quick wit, playful banter, and signature cultural commentary, featuring a whirlwind of pop culture, politics, and just the right dose of sarcasm.
Ben introduces the rules and his comically “stupid headband.”
The two take turns asking yes-or-no questions to guess the person on their head.
Jake guesses Tiger Woods:
Savvy nails Timothee Chalamet:
Political Figures: Xi Jinping, Greta Thunberg, Brigitte Macron
Meta-commentary: Both hosts express playful frustration over the difficulty of guessing lesser-known or unexpected figures.
The hosts riff on newsmakers, often pausing to make pointed, sometimes tongue-in-cheek remarks about each celebrity’s claim to fame or controversy.
Idiosyncratic banter arises regarding political labels, gender identity, and media personalities:
| Timestamp | Segment | Description | |-----------|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 01:13 | Game introduction | Ben explains the “Headbands 10 Bands” game and sets the stage for playful culture guessing. | | 02:34 | Tiger Woods Guess | Jake narrows in on “black athlete” and identifies Tiger Woods. | | 03:20 | Timothee Chalamet | Savvy quickly guesses Timothee Chalamet. | | 04:14 | Xi Jinping Round | Jokes about “Winnie the Pooh” and Chinese leader’s likeness. | | 06:22 | Greta Thunberg | Sequence of hints leading up to Greta Thunberg, with gentle ribbing about activism. | | 09:55 | The Pope | Fast, humorous deduction of the Pope as a “politician” and celebration of “divine help.” | | 11:06 | Ellen/Elliot Page | Reflection on celebrity’s transition, tongue-in-cheek confusion. | | 15:06 | Lauren Sanchez | Commentary on Jeff Bezos’s wife and her celebrity status. | | 17:01 | Buckley Carlson | Realizing the impossibility of some guesses and lamenting the time spent on convoluted rounds. |
The tone remains fast-paced, sarcastic, and spirited, blending pop-culture knowledge with Ben’s signature cultural takes. The conversation is candid and intentionally playful, with both hosts unafraid to poke fun at celebrities, themselves, and each other. Irreverent humor, political in-jokes, and light ridicule abound, making the episode accessible for regular listeners and engaging for anyone keeping up with the current culture wars.
This episode showcases The Ben Shapiro Show stepping outside its comfort zone, offering listeners a fun, banter-heavy break from the usual political commentary. The celebrity guessing game is the perfect vehicle for satire, cultural observation, and just a little bit of chaos, all wrapped in The Daily Wire’s distinctly “principled” style.
For anyone who missed the episode:
Expect an irreverent, highly entertaining romp through the cultural and political who’s-who, complete with fast-talking jabs and side commentary that keep things lively—if sometimes a little acerbic. If you like “Guess Who” with a political twist, this episode is for you!
