Episode Overview

In this unique and lighthearted episode, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and several friends dive into the massively popular video game Fortnite. The episode departs from Shapiro's usual hard-hitting political commentary, focusing instead on pop culture, gaming, and generational divides. The crew provides a running commentary while Michael Knowles plays Fortnite for the first time, with Jacob guiding the experience. Expect lots of playful banter, cultural observations, and a surprising amount of advice on basic gaming mechanics.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. What is Fortnite? – Introducing the Game

[03:25]

• Jacob explains Fortnite as a "Battle Royale" genre game: players drop onto an island, scavenge for weapons, and compete until one remains.
• Fortnite's cultural impact is highlighted, noting its peak concurrency (45 million players at once) and pop-culture crossovers (Star Wars skins, dances).

Jacob: “Fortnite is a genre video game called Battle Royale, where a bunch of players drop out of the sky and land on an island. And you pick up weapons and fight each other until there’s only one person standing.” [03:25]

2. Gamers vs. Non-Gamers – Generational Gap

[04:00] – [07:22]

• Michael Knowles admits near-total ignorance of modern gaming, referencing his last experience with Quake from 1996.
• Ben confesses minimal experience, furthering the generational theme.

Ben Shapiro: “I was not much of a video gamer when I was young. Basically, my video game experiences ended with Quake…1996 PC.” [07:20]

3. First Fortnite Gameplay: Michael Knowles’ Struggle

[04:21] – [17:19]

• Michael struggles with basic controls (jumping, aiming, picking up items).
• Jacob provides detailed, sometimes patient, sometimes exasperated, coaching—explaining controls, looting, shooting, and healing.
• The group has fun with mistaken items (“That’s not beer, those are bandages!”).
• Knowles employs an unexpected “guerrilla warfare” strategy—avoiding conflict, hiding in the forest, and slowly advancing through attrition.
• Surprisingly, Knowles finishes in the top five—leading to much amusement.

Fruit: “You’re really good at falling.” [05:27]
Ben Shapiro: “This is what I want.” [10:30]
Jacob: “Top seven people out of a hundred just from going in the forest.” [16:28]

4. Game Mechanics & Cultural Others

[11:03] – [13:32]

• Jacob explains new core mechanics (constantly changing map, "the storm" mechanic pushing players together, looting chests, healing).
• Discussion of Fortnite’s “circle” mechanic and visual cues for threats.
• Dancing emotes are introduced as a means of taunting opponents after eliminating them.

Jacob: "The reason they added those in there is because when you kill somebody, they watch you for like five seconds...so you just, like, taunt them with a dance." [14:45]

5. Fortnite as Culture & Satire

[07:46], [15:06], [15:11]

• Parallels drawn between Fortnite and The Hunger Games; player elimination, last-person-standing format.
• Jokes about generational differences, the value of in-game “victory”, and pop culture references (Jason Bourne, Star Wars, Jennifer Lawrence’s interviews).
• Knowles and Ben riff on whether children should play (Knowles is proud his don’t).

Michael Knowles: "It turns out that, as you found out at the Daily Wire, that does not equate to upper income trajectory." [07:46]
Michael Knowles: “I’ve coined a new strategy.” [13:15]
Fruit: “Just a bunch of interviews of Jennifer Lawrence saying that she's the only female hero ever.” [15:15]

6. Memorable Quips & Playful Exchanges

• “[05:35] Michael Knowles: Just like socialist policy, it’s all fun and games until you hit the ground.”
• “[06:53] Ben Shapiro: This is going so poorly.”
• “[14:39] Ben Shapiro: But why.”
• “[15:34] Ben Shapiro: It’s guerrilla warfare.”
• “[15:52] Jacob: There you go. Aim at him. Aim at him. Take your time and aim. Jesus Christ. That’s Jason Bourne.”
• “[18:02] Fruit: This can't be how you go. This can't be how you go.”

7. Game Conclusion & Reflections

[18:20] – [18:46]

• Ben, with Jacob’s assistance, achieves fifth place.
• Group teases whether Knowles will brag to his kids—he vows never to tell.
• Jacob then takes the controller, aiming to show "how it’s done".

Jacob: “Number five. You got fifth place. You got fifth place. Wow, that is crazy.” [18:20]
Michael Knowles: “I'm never going to admit it because then my son will want to play it, and I'll be like, nope, fair.” [18:30]

[Jacob]

Oh.

[Fruit]

Oh.

[Jacob]

Someone right in front of you. Aim downwards. Aim downwards.

[Michael Knowles]

Oh, there's a guy.

[Jacob]

Oh, someone else killed him. Someone. Oh. Oh. He got ran over by a car.

[Michael Knowles]

Wow.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

It's time.

[Michael Knowles]

So you have to explain to me what this game is, why it exists and everything. I know nothing about this other than I've seen a bunch of dumb children doing a dance that they call the Fortnite Dance.

[Unidentified Gamer 2]

We like Fortnite. We like Fortnite. Do you like Fortnite? We like Fortnite. Fortnite.

[Michael Knowles]

Other than that, I don't know anything about it.

[Jacob]

So Fortnite is genre video game called Battle Royale, where a bunch of players drop out of the sky and land on an island. And you pick up weapons and you fight each other until there's only one person standing. Fortnite is one of the most popular games to ever come out. At one time, they recorded, I think it was, like, 45 million players playing at once with, like, hundreds of millions of downloads. We're gonna have you drop in. We're gonna see how you do. I'll teach you how to play it. Before we start, I think you should choose your skin.

[Michael Knowles]

So you've got Stormtroopers, you've got Vader, Han Solo. Okay. You got, like, the full Star wars compliment.

[Jacob]

I'm a big Star wars guy.

[Ben Shapiro]

Yeah, no, me too.

[Michael Knowles]

So that's good. I'm very tempted to use Palpatine.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Should I do it?

[Ben Shapiro]

Do it.

[Michael Knowles]

But instead, I'll go with young Harrison Ford, probably.

[Jacob]

Wow.

[Michael Knowles]

Wow.

[Jacob]

So let's push X. Okay, choose him. Now push circle. Perfect. Now we'll push this button here two times. Yep. And one, two.

[Ben Shapiro]

2,000 years later.

[Jacob]

Okay, so now this is the warmup. You got 52 seconds. So you can see you walk around, move around. X is gonna be your jump button.

[Unidentified Gamer 2]

Holy.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Let's go give it to you.

[Fruit]

Wow.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Let's go give it to you.

[Michael Knowles]

Running into a tree.

[Jacob]

Running into a tree.

[Jet2 Announcer]

Woo.

[Jacob]

Now you're in the water.

[Michael Knowles]

Swim. Okay.

[Jacob]

Please help me.

[Michael Knowles]

Interesting.

[Jacob]

So if you want to use that look button to look the other way, you'll turn the other way, you can

[Fruit]

float and swim at the same time.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay, Interesting.

[Jacob]

So now we're in the bus.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Oh, that's hot.

[Jacob]

All the players that are in this lobby, 97 of them are in this bus.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay?

[Jacob]

So at any point that you choose, you're gonna push the X button.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay.

[Jacob]

And you're gonna come out in a

[Michael Knowles]

parachute and I'll show you what are the other controls.

[Jacob]

So use your stick on the left. So I'd push X now so that you free dive.

[Michael Knowles]

There you go.

[Jacob]

You can use your stick on the left to kind of move around, see where you want to go. If there's any place that looks interesting, your look button, see if you can look down the other way. The controls are.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, so far I'm doing great.

[Jacob]

Yeah, you're doing great. That's great. Way better than I did.

[Fruit]

You're really good at falling.

[Michael Knowles]

This isn't flying.

[ZipRecruiter Announcer (cont.)]

This is falling with style.

[Michael Knowles]

Just like socialist policy, it's all fun and games until you hit the ground.

[Jacob]

Exactly. Alrighty. So gonna jump over that wall using X. Good. Try to look in front of you. Yeah. All right. So if you look to your right, there are some bullets on the ground right there that you could pick up.

[Michael Knowles]

Interesting.

[Jacob]

You push. There you go. Oh, there's your first gun right there, that green thing. So you're gonna want to go next to it and push square. You have to move around a little bit. There you go. Now push the R1, the top right bumper. Now you have a gun in your hand.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay, and how do I shoot this gun?

[Jacob]

You push the bumper under that one R2, and then you aim with L2 L2s. Oh, you're getting shot at. You better run. Someone right in front of you. Aim downwards. Aim downwards. Guy right. Guy right in front of you. I'm dying.

[Fruit]

Help me.

[Jacob]

Shoot, shoot, shoot. Oh, someone else killed him. Oh, he got ran over by a car.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Wow.

[Jacob]

In a little bit, I'm going to try to get into teaching you how to build in this game. But first, let's learn how to aim and shoot in that stuff. All right, so it looks like there's some guns on the roof of that building. If you want to land on that roof?

[Michael Knowles]

There's beer as well.

[Jacob]

What?

[Michael Knowles]

That's not beer.

[Jacob]

Those are bandits.

[Ben Shapiro]

First aid.

[Michael Knowles]

Stay thirsty, my friends. Can I pick it up or no?

[Jacob]

Yeah, you gotta walk until. There you go. Now you can push square. Okay, now the gun, I think, is to your right. So let's look to your right. There you go. It's a pistol. Oh, wow.

[Ben Shapiro]

This is going so poorly.

[Fruit]

Okay, you gotta check your surroundings.

[Jacob]

You just. You gotta. Every game you're gonna get a little bit better until you finally, like, successfully shoots.

[Fruit]

Anything's better than that, though.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

My, you just got roasted.

[Michael Knowles]

That was truly quite terrible.

[Jacob]

That is true.

[Ben Shapiro]

What do you get if you win?

[Michael Knowles]

People who have no hopes are easy to control.

[Jacob]

You get to pat yourself on the back, I guess.

[Michael Knowles]

Yes. It's a video game.

[Ben Shapiro]

I forgot. See, I was not much of a

[Michael Knowles]

video gamer when I was young. Basically, my video game experiences ended with quake. With quake, 1996 PC.

[Jacob]

This guy's good. Whoever's playing this, this guy's good. But look how, like, this game came out when I was in high school. And it was, like, extremely hard to get a win because you're going against 100 other players. So every time I would win, I would, like, post it on my social media. I'd be like, hey, let's go.

[Michael Knowles]

It turns out that, as you found out at the Daily Wire, that does not equate to upper income trajectory.

[Jacob]

No, not at all. Not at all. Not at all.

[Michael Knowles]

You just end up playing yes or no with Michael Knowles.

[Jacob]

Exactly. First of all, Professor, I'm really glad

[Michael Knowles]

that they allow underage drinking on this show now.

[Jacob]

That's really great that they're 12 years old. That's outrageous. Let's see where you can land.

[Michael Knowles]

Where is away from people.

[Jacob]

You want to just go. You just want to land, like, in the middle of the forest. You see all those trees down there? Those yellow trees?

[Michael Knowles]

Yes.

[Jacob]

Try to land like, in those yellow trees.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay, sounds good. Because if there are other people, I'm going to get killed immediately.

[Ben Shapiro]

Online shopping has created one of the weirdest modern rituals. You find the exact thing you were

[Michael Knowles]

looking for, you add it to your

[Ben Shapiro]

cart, get all the way to the checkout, and then suddenly, you're being asked to remember a password that you made up in 2017. And at that point, a bunch of people just give up. Which is why that little purple shop pay button feels like a relief when it appears. One tap. No hunting for your wallet, no resetting password, no trying to remember which email address you used for A random website three years ago. Everything is just there. And checkout takes about 5 seconds. Shopify powers millions of businesses around the world and something like 10% of all E commerce in the United States. From huge household name brands to people just starting small businesses out of their garage. What makes Shopify powerful for business owners is that it simplifies all the complicated parts. Inventory, payments, analytics, marketing, shipping, returns. It all lives in one place.

Plus, they help businesses reach customers through easy to run email and social campaigns. If you get stuck, Shopify offers 24. 7 customer support.

[Fruit]

You should have done a round first.

[Jacob]

I should have done a round first.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah. We have to see what it looks like when someone who knows what the hell they're doing does this. Okay.

[Jacob]

Okay. So that you found your first chest. So that's a chest. You gotta back up from it a little bit until it says to hold square. Look, try to look at it more. Like, gear your camera to look at it down a little bit, not jump

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

on it so close.

[Jacob]

Why not back up a little bit?

[Michael Knowles]

I'm literally right here.

[Jacob]

Now back up just a tiny bit.

[Ben Shapiro]

There you go.

[Jacob]

Wait, no, no. Forward a little more. A little more. Back up.

[Michael Knowles]

This is retarded.

[Fruit]

It's just like surgery.

[Michael Knowles]

Dude doesn't need a chest cavity.

[Jacob]

Oh, you had it. You see how it pops up? There you go. Now let's see what came out of it. Oh, you got a nice.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay, that's good. I'm gonna pick this up now. I feel like that would be useful. This.

[Ben Shapiro]

This is what I want.

[Jacob]

There you go.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay. And now I switch to it.

[Jacob]

Now, you also picked up a shield. It's that blue jug that you have. Okay, so type the R1 again 2 times 1, 2. Now push the shoot button. So essentially, you drink that and it gives you an extra 50 hp. Mmm. So good and tasty.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay, so he just drank a goldfish.

[Jacob]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

Now he feels better about his life.

[Fruit]

Where are you? This looks like the Last Samurai.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

If he does not shoot me, I will kill him.

[Jacob]

They change this map, like every few weeks, and they just add A bunch of new stuff to it. A few weeks ago they had, like, Darth Vader's lair. Oh, you're getting shot at 24. Take cover, Ben.

[Fruit]

Take cover, Ben.

[Jacob]

Hide behind the tree. Hide behind the tree. Hide behind the tree. They're shooting from behind you.

[Michael Knowles]

Other side of the tree. Turn around, turn around, turn around. There you go.

[Jacob]

Never mind.

[Fruit]

Look up a little more. There you go.

[Jacob]

Okay. Do you see that brick wall right there? I think he's behind that brick wall right there.

[Fruit]

Point down.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay. I'm not used to these controls.

[Jacob]

There you go. I think he might be. You want me?

[Michael Knowles]

I'll wait for you.

[Jacob]

You're gonna wait him out? Oh, he's to your left. You see the footsteps? He's to your left. Hard left. Hard left. Hard left. Yep. That brick wall right there.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Shoot the brick.

[Jacob]

Brick killed a guy. Yeah. Try to run around the brick wall. Yeah, cut that. But when there's noise, like right there, that's shooting. It shows you the direction the shooting is in.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay, you know what?

[Jacob]

We started with 100 people, and there's 45 left.

[Michael Knowles]

So you've survived half hiding in the forest. Hiding in the forest is actually quite a good tactic. It is just gonna run around the forest. Yeah. It's end.

[Jacob]

Yeah. This is where we're just gonna run around for a long time and just not see anybody. Because this map is so big that you're only gonna see people if you go to, like, the really highly contested areas.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

There is a storm coming and not a one of you is prepared for it.

[Jacob]

One of the mechanics of this game that makes the action, like, a lot more intense is there is a circle on the map that you have to stay inside of on the top. Right. You see there's like a mini map right there.

[Ben Shapiro]

Yes.

[Jacob]

That white line right there that's slightly curved is like part of a bigger circle that you have to stay inside of.

[Michael Knowles]

Okay.

[Jacob]

And if you look to the left of it, do you see that kind of like pinkish purple.

[Michael Knowles]

Yes.

[Jacob]

On the bottom of the map? That's the storm moving towards you. And you die if you're okay.

[Michael Knowles]

That seems bad. Okay, let's not do that then.

[Fruit]

How do you know how many people are left? Is that the number up top?

[Jacob]

Yeah.

[Michael Knowles]

So 27 people left. 27. Somehow I have.

[Jacob]

Wow, look, he caught on it. Yeah.

[Fruit]

It's good. He's just been hiding.

[Ben Shapiro]

This is a good.

[Michael Knowles]

This is a good strategy, the hiding.

[Jacob]

You've almost made it to the top 25%. If we win a game just by Just staying away from everybody. That would probably be.

[Michael Knowles]

I've coined a new strategy.

[Fruit]

At that point, you realize you've been doing this wrong your whole life.

[Jacob]

I have been. I've been, like, just throwing my control with the tv. Yeah. No one's there. If I see someone, I'll tell you. There's some more guns on the ground to your left. You can pick up. Oh, okay. You got to shoot that guy. That's a monster.

[Fruit]

Run.

[Jacob]

Shoot him.

[Michael Knowles]

Nice.

[Jacob]

Nice. You killed one. The one on the right. Shoot him. Nice killing spree.

[Fruit]

Nice little squat there.

[Jacob]

The look button. Tap it, push it down once. There you go. Now you're standing up, brother. I feel like that might explode.

[Michael Knowles]

He slimed me.

[Jacob]

Oh, look, it gave you some more heels. So if you pick up those cans on the ground, you can splash yourself with them and heal up. There you go. Push square on that. Great. Now push the right bumper three times. 1, 2, 3. Now throw that at your feet. So look down. Look down and throw it at your feet.

[Fruit]

That would not be my first instinct.

[Jacob]

There you go. Throw that at your feet. Shoot button. Shoot button. Not that.

[Michael Knowles]

One more. One more.

[Jacob]

There you go. Shoot button. What? That's the aim button. Shoot button, Shoot button. There you go, R2. We got one more. Now you have almost complete health.

[Fruit]

How do you dance?

[Jacob]

How do you dance? Push the down arrow button on your control, and then you use the right stick to select one of the dances on the. Yep. Choose that one. Now you're dancing.

[Ben Shapiro]

But why.

[Michael Knowles]

But why is he dancing? I don't understand.

[Jacob]

The reason they added.

[Ben Shapiro]

How's that useful?

[Jacob]

The reason they added those in there is because when you kill somebody, they watch you for, like, five seconds after you kill them. So you just, like, taunt them with a dance.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Dance, you sons of. Dance like it's me down there.

[Jacob]

18 people left. Ben, you're pretty close.

[Michael Knowles]

My running around in the forest strategy, that's important.

[Fruit]

Fruit, is there a way to tell where the people are? Like, do the.

[Jacob]

No. That's the point of it.

[Fruit]

They just show up.

[Jacob]

They just. You run into them. This game is modeled after Hunger Games. Like, that was where they got the money.

[Michael Knowles]

That makes sense.

[Fruit]

Never seen it.

[Jacob]

You've never seen Hunger Games?

[Fruit]

Just a bunch of interviews of Jennifer Lawrence saying that she's the only female hero ever.

[Jacob]

Nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie. How should I know? I'm retarded.

[Michael Knowles]

Totally true, Ben.

[Jacob]

You're in the top 10 people. I did not expect this. That's crazy. All right.

[Ben Shapiro]

It's guerrilla warfare.

[Michael Knowles]

You go to the forest and you wait it out.

[Jacob]

But you haven't been waiting it out. You've just been running around the entire

[Ben Shapiro]

time in the forest.

[Jacob]

Mostly that's true. Oh, oh, you got the bugs next to you. Shoot, shoot, shoot.

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Move back, move back.

[Jacob]

There you go. Aim at him. Aim at him. Take your time and aim. Jesus Christ. That's Jason Bourne.

[Michael Knowles]

I don't even know where I'm. Okay. I didn't like that. That was bad. I didn't like those guys.

[Ben Shapiro]

They were mean.

[Jacob]

Yeah. You know what? Why don't we turn around and open that chest? Let's turn around. There you go. Oh, they're following you, Ben.

[Ben Shapiro]

Surprise. Mother.

[Fruit]

Shoot him. Shoot him.

[Jacob]

Aim at him.

[Unidentified Gamer 2]

Pew, pew, pew, pew.

[Jacob]

That guy's coming towards you. Shoot him. Nice. Again. Nice.

[Fruit]

That blew up last time.

[Michael Knowles]

One more.

[Jacob]

Nice monster kill.

[Michael Knowles]

Un freaking believable.

[Jacob]

Top seven people. Top seven people out of a hundred just from going in the forest.

[Michael Knowles]

It's a car.

[Jacob]

You can drive it if you want.

[Jet2 Announcer]

Nothing beats a jetsu holiday. And right now you can save up to £240 for a family of four. Don't miss out work now with Jet Zoo holidays.

[Ben Shapiro]

Oh, my God.

[Jacob]

Now, you don't want to go too far there, because you have the storm right there. There, you see that?

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

I'm coming.

[Michael Knowles]

Oh, yeah. Go back.

[Jacob]

No, no, no, no. Go the other way. Reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse, reverse. There you go.

[Fruit]

Get out of that car.

[Jacob]

Yeah, let's just. Let's just hold square.

[Fruit]

You don't.

[Jacob]

You don't belong in that car.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, that car was not for me. I did not like that car. Okay, I need to turn around and.

[Jacob]

You're top five people, Ben. You are top five people. This isn't.

[Michael Knowles]

I'm just amazing at this game. I've discovered my calling.

[Jacob]

This is insanity.

[Fruit]

You should just be a. What is it? Like a twitch streamer?

[Unidentified Gamer 1]

Yeah, baby. That's what I've been waiting for.

[Michael Knowles]

No, don't like that.

[Jacob]

You got it. Aim downwards. There you go. Take your time and aim. Yep, there you go. You can switch guns, too, by pushing R1 if you don't want to reload.

[Fruit]

Yeah, you got to kill the hive or they'll keep appearing. Right, Jacob?

[Jacob]

Yeah.

[Fruit]

Maybe we.

[Jacob]

Maybe we should just leave the area.

[Michael Knowles]

I'd like to leave the area. I don't like this area. This area is mean and bad.

[Jacob]

Oh, yeah, you gotta. You gotta start running. That circle's right on your behind. You're gonna have to cut left. You're gonna have to run that way.

[Michael Knowles]

Cannot sprint low energy.

[Jacob]

Less energy than Jeb Bush.

[Fruit]

This can't be how you go. This can't be how you go.

[Jacob]

Run. You know what, Ben? Let me see. Let me save you real quick.

[Michael Knowles]

I appreciate that.

[Fruit]

Thank you.

[Jacob]

Let me see. Let me. Oh, man. No, it's too fast. Oh, man.

[Michael Knowles]

That's how I died. Wow, that was sad.

[Jacob]

Number five. You got fifth place. You got fifth place. Wow, that is crazy.

[Fruit]

It's your turn, Jacob.

[Jacob]

It's my turn?

[Michael Knowles]

That's it.

[Fruit]

You're gonna tell your kids you did this, or are you never gonna admit it?

[Michael Knowles]

I'm never going to admit it because then my son will want to play it, and I'll be like, nope, fair.

[Jacob]

Yeah. I don't suggest it.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, no. My kids are not video game kids, and I'm proud of that.

[Fruit]

Let's go, Jacob. Show us how it's done.

[Michael Knowles]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jacob]

Oh, I'm winning this game. There's no. There's no shot.

[Fruit]

The Hebrew hammer.

[Jacob]

Man, this guy is not giving me a break.
