    Oh Michael I wanted to congratulate you on that amazing UA-cam “short” you made about thanksgiving dinner the other day. It was very well put together, and the first and only one I saw all day that legitimately made me laugh. I commented on that video but there was already thousands of comments so I knew no one would see it. Much love and God bless you all

    I absolutely love riddles, but I got so many wrong. On the upside I had the answer to almost every question Michael got wrong.

    Klavan has enough experience, he must have heard all the riddles in his life time

    Knowles is the GOAT of face-off. This was an unfair competition. Hilarious though.

    I’m pretty sure Gandalf had lots of hair. Klavan is more reminiscent of Golem. Remember Golem was a great riddler.

    I actually got a few of the riddles they didn’t get. I’m surprised!

    I would argue that the information given for the Ark of Covenant is incorrect, because there were four objects in the Ark of the Covenant, The Two Tablets that had the Decalogue written on them, then, Aaron's staff that had bloomed, and finally, a piece of Manna...

    I love riddles, so thank you. And here's a riddle: I am evil, I am good; I am known yet never understood; I dwell with peasants, I dwell with kings; what am I?
