Episode 19.5
October 13
Gordon: Big Bucks! No Wamus! Stop!
Chico: Stooooooop at a WaMu. (Waa Wwaaaaa)
(Gerorge Washington Bill WaMu) "Hee hee hee, I cannot tell a lie... You lose!"
Gordon: Awww
Chico: Welcome back. Jason and Lee went WaMu hunting, so we're down to the four
of us. And it's time for Excessories. Please explain how this works, G.
Gordon: We give you a person, thing or event. You create a promotional item.
Chico: For example...
Create a promotional item for... Bingo America.
Rob: Souvenir Bingo Balls.
Don: Bingo tennis balls, maybe?
Chico: How about mini-Bingodromes?
Gordon: Acme House-Sized Wrecking Balls. When you want to smash your tv set in
for watching this mess.
Rob: Lifesize cutouts of Diane Mizota, maybe?
Chico: No thank you. The last thing this show needs are two unbearably cute
hostesses.
Gordon: I'd make the cut out the first victim of the wrecking ball.
Rob: Bingo America T-Shirts.
Gordon: Next one...
Dancing With The Stars
Chico: Parquet dance floors.
Rob: Simple, Instructional DVDs with the winners.
Gordon: What about DWTS bubble domes, to prevent injuries?
Rob: Nah, those are just the nature of the beast.
Don: Official formal outfits?
Rob: A Bruno Doll. You pull a string and he says several things.
Don: Numbered paddles! *Holds up an 8*
Chico: I like the numbered paddles idea.
Gordon: (Holds up a '69' with 2 paddles)
Chico: Bad Gordon.
Gordon: What? The judges post up 6's and 9's.
Don: Heh.
Gordon: Next?
Chico: Next up...
Showing some love for Team Superbad of the Amazing Race (aka Andrew & Dan)
Gordon: What the original group in Superbad needed...The Amazing Race Blow Up
Dolls! For the companionship you need for running all over the world with no
love for 30 days.
Chico: Sounds like the point is still valid, though. How about... blowup
dolls...Copies of the DVD...Hawaiian license plates...and of course, random frat
shirts.
Rob: What about McLovin Ids.
Chico: Makes sense. Oh, and to keep it Race related... a set of 53 stairs.
Gordon: Yay. Next one...
Trivial Pursuit (because right now, they need some help here. Badly.)
Don: Maybe a version of the game for video game consoles?
Rob: How about the Tried and True DVD game.
Chico: Which one?
Rob: Trivial Pursuit: America Plays. About 300 questions on a DVD.
Chico: I got it. They have the USB plug-n-download version out now... download
questions uploaded from a site by fellow players.
Chico: It's like america plays... sort of.
Gordon: Trivial Pursuit: Christopher Knight Circus Edition. Complete with Wheel
of Death Wedge and rope trapeeze. Aerialists and Joey Fatone not included.
Sorry.
Chico: Heh
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next up...
Another show in need of promo-ing... Opportunity Knocks.
Gordon: Easy.
Chico: A doorbell. :-)
Rob: Your own Game Show set
Don: I'd say the home game, but that seems kinda redundant...
Rob: Bright Lights, microphones, and JD Roth, because he seems to be hosting
a lot of stuff on the bottom of the barrel from the past few years.
Chico: Ba DUM bum.
Gordon: Opportunity Knock's Trap Door. Easy for ridding yourself of unwanted
guests. Add to it the Wipeout Pool at the bottom, because if the Lawsuit is
successful, they'll need to make some use of the set.
Chico: And finally...
Gordon: Finally...
Chico's Faaaaavorite show. The Bachelor, which shows up in the Spring.
Rob: A Bachelor Dating Site.
Don: Roses.
Rob: A Date Book.
Chico: A hammer.
Gordon: A hammer?
Chico: Yeah. As in one for my head. But probably better for me and more in tune
with the Bachelor ethos is... a stiff drink.
Gordon: What about the Bachelor Blog? Perfect for writing down all of the
opportunities the Bachelor is going to get after the show.
Chico: "Do her... Wouldn't do her.... Who HASN'T done her... Do her.. Do her..."
That's basically the Bachelor blog.
Gordon: As for the drink, shall I suggest the Screwfleisser?
Chico: I'll take 2.
Gordon: and we're done with excessories. Next up - things to do...or not do.
We'll be back.
(Brought to you by Hole in the Wall Cereal... It tastes like crap. Makes your
white milk...white and watery.)
Don: Eww.
Chico: Ewwww.
Rob: ewww.
Gordon: Now it's time to see what happens when the choices are in your hands.
Would You...Could You....We start with this...
Would you...buy a
cupcake from 8 celebrities for $20?
Chico: It better be the best cupcake I've ever had.
Rob: Could *check wallet* No, Would No
Gordon: I would - and did. It wasn't a bad cupcake.
Don: If it's for charity, I would.
Gordon: Not the best cupcake, but I'm not a cupcake connesieur
Chico: Ah. well I happen to be one. So... maybe next time.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next up...
Would you bid $487 on a sofa?
Rob: Could I, yeah, would I, No.
Don: I don't think sofas would be that cheap these days, so no.
Gordon: Ths sounds like an ugly repeat of last week's Are You Smarter Than
Segment. No.
Chico: Oh yeah. It was pretty ugly. The game was 2 for the Price of 1. THAT's
how ugly it was.
Gordon: Ouch. Next one.
Would You...try to survive on a Japanese Game Show?
Chico: Why not. I'm game.
Don: Sure. Could be fun.
Gordon: I'd do it. Of course, it's not based on a REAL show, but who cares?
Rob: I'm not one for self humiliation on Worldwide TV. So, would and could,
No. I humiliate myself on this chat thing and my radio show every week.
Gordon: Someone needs some candy. Chico, do you have any candy for Rob?
Chico: No candy, but I do have this...
Would you don silver spandex for $100,000?
Rob: Unless it was for the WWE or TNA. Aside from those two places, then no
chance, Chico, no chance.
Don: Nah.
Chico: Not WWE. Not TNA. Just... FOX.
Rob: They'd have to pay me $100,000 just to step foot on that set. So, as
Vince McMahon says, NO CHANCE IN HELL!
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: Hole in the Wall, we're talking about?
Chico: Yep
Gordon: Oh...I'd do it.
Chico: WHAT?1
Gordon: Hey, if 3 sumos could win $25,000, then I have a shot of at least 25
G's.
Rob: And one of those sumos was Americus Abesamis from Season 1 of Extreme
Dodgeball.
Chico: Yep
Don: Now that I think about it, I guess it couldn't hurt too much to give it a
shot...
Rob: So, Game Show Fans Vs Jocks. Gordon Pepper, Don Harpwood and...Jason
Block.
Gordon: Oh yeah. He'd love it. Next one...
Would you spend 8.75 million dollars to buy the 'pad' used in ABC's The
Bachelor?
Chico: Sure, if it was thoroughly cleaned first.
Rob: With the current housing trend, it might be worth $8 by Monday.
Chico: THOROUGHLY cleaned.
Gordon: Disinfected and deoderized?
Chico: THOROUGHLY.
Don: If I had that kind of money... then what Chico said.
Rob: So, after a really dep cleaning, I'd pay about 1-2 million, but not the
$8,000,000 Price tag.
Chico: Or you could do the Dr. Dre thing... "It's worth 8, but I only paid 5.3."
Gordon: I'd go 5 mil. I can get it at a discount with the economy the way that
it is. It was $13 mil. It dropped to $8.75 mil. Last one?
Chico: Last one.
Would you spend your honeymoon on a game show?
Gordon: Depends on the show. Here Comes The Newlyweds? No. Amazing Race? yes.
Chico: Deal or No Deal? 5th Grader? You know, a show not usually catered to
newlyweds.
Gordon: I'd say yes to both.
Don: Deal or No Deal, sure. Amazing Race, definitely.
Chico: But me... why the hell not. BTW, we should give a special shout out to
Gordon's sister, who just got married.
Rob: *applause*
Don: *Applauds*
Chico: *applause*
Gordon: And Jessie and Mark, if you're reading this, Congratulations!
Chico: All we need to do is find three jocks. While we do that... you watch
this. Speed Round next!
(Brought to you by Hole In The Bank. We try to put sumos into Wall
Street to try to bail out the economy...ok, it's a dumb idea, but hey, nothing
else has worked.)
Chico: I noticed that every time the President talks, the market plunges. Am I
the only one that noticed that?
Gordon: It's everyone withdrawing money to buy ear plugs.
Rob: So, Bush shuts up, market gets fixed. Perfect.
Gordon: Speed Round starts...NOW! Can anything stop Rocco Dispirito from
becoming star fodder this week?
Chico: Nope
Don: I doubt it.
Rob: Cloris Leachman breaking a hip. Aside from that, nothing.
Chico: Cloris Leachman is this year's Sanjaya.
Gordon: Survivor - who leaves?
Rob: GC, Ace or Sugar.
Chico: I'm with Rob on that one.
Don: Yep.
Gordon: I'm not. GC is safe for now. I'll say Sugar, Ace...or Susie. 6 cases on
Million Dollar MIssion. Is it won this week?
Don: Nope.
Chico: Nope.
Rob: I think we'll see more bad play like last week.
Chico: Is the Million won Tuesday on Wheel?
Rob: No, Million loss.
Gordon: Yes. Million is won
Don: Wouldn't surprise me, but who knows...
Chico: Okay, with that, let go to the mail! First up, from our friend Doug
Morris...
Gordon: Hey Doug.
To: WLTI
From: Doug Morris
Greetings, friends. Just tossing out a memory. Your discussion about Vanna White
hosting "Wheel of Fortune" caused me to have a brief '80s flashback. There was
some discussion back in '88 when Pat was leaving the daytime version of "Wheel
of Fortune" for that successful late night talk show on CBS (har har) that Vanna
would host the daytime show and the board would be automated. Reportedly, she
declined such an offer and the then-morning team at WYMJ radio in my adopted
hometown of Dayton had quite a field day with that news. (Sidebar note: WYMJ,
since which changed formats and call letters a bunch of times, once employed
Glenn Beck...yes, *that* G.B.)
|
Chico: Thanks Doug...If I recall correctly, that was back in 1988, when a
certain member of the San Diego Chargers was lined up to be Pat's replacement on
NBC... That didn't go too well, did it?
Gordon: Um...no.
Rob: Plus it doesn't help that when he started, he had the personality of a
piece of Balsa Wood.
Gordon: Next up...The Letter.
The Letter - Season 2
By Josh Johannesen
Episode #3 - Jeopardy
What are the chances that Jeopardy! sees at least 5 $100,000+
winners in this, its landmark 25th season? And, for this question, I am
counting tournament winnings, so we know there will be at least 1.
|
Gordon: Quite good, i would think. It only takes 3 days to hit $100,000, if you
get on a roll.
Chico: Oh yeah. If you're a good champ and you like to go all out, You can make
$100,000 easy.
Rob: The last guy almost did it. 4 games with $90k +
Don: Indeed.
Chico: And we've had one person go not-quite-but-almost in five weeks, so...you
know, anything can happen. Okay, we have time for one more message.
Gordon: Yay!
Chico: And it's from... hey, your friend and mine... Identity withheld!
Gordon: Boo.
Don: Heh.
To: WLTI
From: IDENTITY WITHHELD

dirty work yourself.
Chico: And let's be honest... if you want to cook so you can be a star... you're
doing it for the wrong reasons.
