Gordon: We are back, and if you showed up late, you missed Mark Cuban, Jen C., and other stuff that you'd have to go into the spoiler's section to read.
Chico: I'll give you a hint... Puppies.
Gordon: Speaking of which - Chico, what puppy do we have today?
Chico: Aside from unreal world antics, there were a lot of figures flying
about this week, leading us to our first happy-fun segment: Number Please.
Basically, I throw out a number, and Gordon tries and correlate it with something. Ready?
Gordon: Let's do it.
Chico: Alrighty... First number. 1. This one's pretty easy if you were paying
attention.
Gordon: The amount of Mark Cuban episodes I have to painfully sit through  until the Benefactor is finally put out of it's misery?
Chico: True, but there's something more... and the answer... is here:

Gordon: That...is...true pain.
Chico: What could go down as the worst Showcase loss in recent memory.
Gordon: Even more painful than Mark Cuban's show.
Chico: Build a bridge and get over it, Gordon, it's over.
Gordon: It's not over - it will never be over because I still have to see him
on TV on every Dallas Maverick televised game.
Chico: You don't have to watch THOSE games.
Gordon: Actually, because the Nets are in a fire sale season and the Knicks
still look like a 6th or 7th seeded team. I may. There's no ice hockey either
this year. Anyone for college hoops? Or the next number...
Chico: Okay, move on... next number... 2.
Gordon: 2.... the number of team reshufflings there have been on Mark Burnett shows?
Chico: Yep. Also the number of Rubertes on Family Feud with the last name Ruberte. Team captain Hernan is a Santiago... AND the number of Street Smarts shows caught by the Congress that aired this week.
Gordon: Actually - 3.
Chico: Oh, sorry.
Gordon: 2 TV Tapings, 3 shows in each taping - 6 shows. But you could have gone to 4 tapings, if...well, I'm just cluttering up the issue.
Chico: Yes you are.
Gordon: OK - while I'm cleaning up my clutter, let's get to the next number...
Chico: 896.... 97... 98... 99....
Gordon: Let's see...counting up the seconds - that would be 15 minutes of
fame.
Chico: Actually... You're wrong. Not this week, anyway...
Gordon: Well, that's still 15 minutes. What does the time represent?
Chico: It's actually apparently the temperature at which the circuitry of the
Magic Number window burns... A player this week stopped the window at 896... and it kept going.
Gordon: Well, it's supposed to be a MAGIC window, isn't it?
Chico: Not THAT magic. Like it was on magic mushrooms. Drugs are bad, mmkay?
Gordon: The neon lights...the magic numbers...in between the
prizes....wheeeeeeee *snaps out of it* - I assume that the window was trying to tell the contestant that the number was too low?
Chico: Well, we'll never know, since the prices were never revealed. Bob
ended up giving the player the two prizes.
Gordon: So it magically gave the prizes out to the contestant? See it IS a
magic window!
Chico: Okay, next... 1999.
Gordon: The year that Game Show Newsnet started, of course.
Chico: Yes, true. It's also the year that Alexia Henke won Miss Goth New
York... Five years before her Millionaire appearance. Unfortunately, she got some wrong information, and ended up with $1000.
Gordon: But $1,000 I'm sure gets some nice goth supplies.
Chico: Well, she won't need them any time soon. She grew up.
Gordon: Come on., Who couldn't use extra streaks and spiked heels?
Chico: I think someone needs a makeover! :-)
Gordon: If you try to put the spiked heels on me, I'll swat you.
Chico: Aww, come on. Don't knock it 'til you tried it.
Gordon: I'll take your word for it.
Chico: Okay, couple more numbers for you... but first, a bit of a
background...
Gordon: OK
Chico: Now this show, We Love to Interrupt, is "taped" two days in advance of release on any typical day.
Gordon: Correct
Chico: That said... the next number... 23.
Gordon: The day that this show is being taped?
Chico: Think harder..
Gordon: Michael Jordan is the guest for the next episode?
Chico: The number of days until the Amazing Race premiere.
Gordon: Ahhhh. You're counting the days, eh?
Chico: Aren't you?
Gordon: Well, I am anticipating the debut of the new season
Chico: I'll take that as a yes.
Gordon: Yes, It's marked on the calendar.
Chico: And finally, 37,245,119.
Gordon: I'm batting almost a perfect thousand here. I have no idea.
Chico: Number of times I cursed the mortal soul of Scott Stone during any
given Shop 'Til You Drop broadcast. Just picture it. Orgasmic screams over... get this... a trip to New York.
Gordon: Well we have screams here when people travel to New York - they usually happen when traveling thee subway systems alone past 2am or when seeing your restaurant and hotel bill.
Chico: That's scary. I've been there. Trust me.
Gordon: Right in time for Halloween week. We'll spook you some more material when we come back, as we find out who everyone's daddy is. Who's your daddy, Chico?
Chico: Carlos Ricardo Alexander. Yours?
Gordon: Allan Pepper. We'll see other people's daddies after this break.
