Joe M.: I think Rosie's getting the easier stack.
Jason: Uh no. Rosie is GOOD.

Gordon: Will he go for 5 out of 7 for $100,000? Rosie is giving Dante the overprotective mom lecture. He's a gambler...so he's taking the money to Atlantic City?
Jason: Say what?
Joe M.: I'm a little surprised
Don: Wow. Didn't expect that.

Gordon: Though Ive seen it a lot as 2 words, too
Joe M.: Yeah, and the perception probably would've been it was two words
Gordon: Sure would - but thats why its tricky
Joe M.: Shouldn't have come down to it, though
Gordon: Agreed. And that's it for this week. For everyone, this is Gordon Pepper, saying Spread the Word.
