YAHTZEE [SYN]: Episode 2

[palmer7]

(Leyla puts the die in her cup and gets back in position)


Greg: We're looking for a two or a six, Leyla. Two or six. Roll that die!


(she does)






A one! (audience groans) Well, there seems to be one option for you.

[Billy Gardell]

Well, that belongs to the chance.

[palmer7]

Right. You pick up $3,400 for that.

Brings you up to $11,100. You have four turns to get a Full House, a Small Straight, and a Yahtzee in order to win that trip. James, the pressure is mounting for you. Next question.


Which US state's name is derived from the Choctaw Indian word for "red man"?


(buzzcode and answer, please)

*Billy buzzes in (52)*
Billy?
Billy: Oklahoma!
(singing) Where the wind comes sweeping down the plains!


You're right! (audience cheers) Billy, you have control of the dice now, let's see if you can't pick up a Yahtzee this time. Leyla, won't you roll five of a kind?


Leyla: I'll do my best! (she rolls)





All right. So, you have three sixes, a one, and a 3. You've used your three and four of a kind up, but I think you want to keep those sixes. What do you want to do? (audience shouts suggestions)

[Billy Gardell]

Well, all or nothing, let's go for the Yahtzee and keep the sixes!

[palmer7]

(audience cheers as Leyla places the non-6 dice back in the cup and gets back in position)


The audience is with you, Billy. Let's hope the dice are with you, too. Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)






Well, you're halfway there. This question probably doesn't need to be asked, but I'll ask. Do you want the question?

[Billy Gardell]

Yep!

[palmer7]

OK, here it is.


What was Lyndon B. Johnson's middle name?

[Billy Gardell]

Baines!

[palmer7]

That's right! (audience cheers)


Now, you want to reroll that three, right? Said you wanted to go for a Yahtzee?

[Billy Gardell]

Yes, here we go. Come on, we want a six!

[palmer7]

Audience: SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX!


(Leyla rolls the die)






(audience groans)


A five! Oy...... now it looks like nobody's going on that trip. Billy, which category do you want to zero out?

[Billy Gardell]

Close!

I'll zero the Full House.

[palmer7]

Bob Saget would approve. (audience chuckles)


(Zero Out)

Still holding onto a close to $10,000 lead. Next question.



Bob Saget and a number of his Full House friends provided voices in what 2007 direct-to-video parody of nature documentaries?


(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 42)
*Billy buzzes in (80)*
Billy?
Billy: Farce of the Penguins?
You got it! (audience cheers)



OK, we can still get a Yahtzee here. Or a small straight. We'll just see how this goes. Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)





Well....... what do you want to do with this?

[Billy Gardell]

Eh... let's roll it all over again.

[palmer7]

Rolling all five dice over. OK, then. (Leyla collects all the dice and gets back in position) He wants a do over, let's give it to him! (Leyla rolls the dice)






Hmmm...... do you want the question?

[Billy Gardell]

Yeah.

[palmer7]

OK, here it is.


Which US state is nicknamed the "Old Line State"?

[Billy Gardell]

Maryland!

[palmer7]

Right! (audience cheers) Now, which dice, if any, do you want to hold? (audience shouts suggestions)

[Billy Gardell]

Hold one, two and three.

[palmer7]

OK, so one of those dice has to be a four. (Leyla has the dice ready) Leyla, we need a four! Roll those dice!


(she does)






Oooh! (audience groans) Gonna have to zero out another category there. Sorry, Billy. Which one do you want to get rid of this go-round?

[Billy Gardell]

Aw...

Hmmm. Go big or go home, I'll zero the small straight!

[palmer7]

(Zero Out)

[Yahtzee]             [Yahtzee]
[      ]              [     ]



There are two rolls left, and things are not looking good for James. James, you need to get at least $9,600 in two rolls in order to tie. A Yahtzee would help you immensely. Next question.


What name was adopted by boxing champion Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.?


(buzzcode and answer, please)

[palmer7]

(buzzcode: 50)
*Billy buzzes in (60)*
Billy?
Billy: That's Muhammad Ali!
Right! (audience cheers) Billy, you have control of the dice again. If you can get a Yahtzee, then you will win the game automatically because it will be mathematically impossible for James to catch up. Leyla, roll those dice!



(she does)






(audience cheers)


Well, you're three-fifths of the way there. Billy, since there is only one spot left, we're just going to assume you'll be keeping those ones. Is that correct?

[Billy Gardell]

Yes. Come on, ones!

[palmer7]

(audience cheers as Leyla collects the dice)


Billy, if you can roll two ones, you'll get a Yahtzee, the win, and $21,500 in cash. 



Audience: Snake eyes! Snake eyes! Snake eyes! Snake eyes! Snake eyes! Snake eyes! Snake eyes!


Greg: Leyla, roll those dice! (she does)






(audience groans)


That's OK, that's OK. Billy, we're just going to go with the question here. Get this right, and you'll have another chance to get snake eyes. James, stand by, you need this.



What type of machine was Isaac Singer granted a patent for in 1851?

[Billy Gardell]

Eh... Sewing Machine?

[palmer7]

Eh... you're right! (audience cheers)



OK, now this is it. We assume you will keep the three ones. If Leyla rolls snake eyes, you will win the game and a lot of money. Leyla, roll those dice!


(the audience chants as she rolls)








(audience groans)


Snake eye and a staircase. Zero out the Yahtzee.


(zero out)

OK, James. Tell you what we're going to do. There's no way Billy can roll now, so you get the last question. Answer it correctly, you get control of the dice. Get it wrong, and Billy wins. Audience, please don't help. Billy, you don't help either. Here's the question.


What sitcom star’s parents were named Morty and Helen on his TV show?
