Crag: The Numbers Game (Syn., Episode 26)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan's guessing Elvis won just 1 Grammy. Is that right? (buzz) No. Sorry. Patseen -- chance to steal

(ding)

And choices come courtesy of the non-Crag 13.

How many Grammy Awards did Elvis earn for his work in Gospel music?

Patseen, is the right answer 3, 4 or 6?

[patpun2016]

I know one of them was the Lifetime Achievement Award. But how many else?

Let's lock in 3.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Patseen says Elvis earned 3 Gospel Grammy Awards. Is that right?

(ding; audience applause)

Yes. Good job.

(rolling sfx)

Patseen, you're trailing 77-66. But a Crag will win you the championship.

[patpun2016]

Alright, Craggy, Craggy!

(EED)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding) (scattered laughter)

Craggy, Craggy, eh? A 4.

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Woah! Another 4!

(ding) (loud groans from the crowd)

And a 3. Well -- Patseen -- I gotta ask -- 11 points or a reroll?

[patpun2016]

Keep the double fours! And let's change that three to a five now!

(C)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Holding on to Ada from Decatur.

(freeze sfx)

Stop on a 5 on the last screen, that's the match. Stop on a 4 -- and it's another triple.

Bryan, hex or send bad vibes as you see fit. Here goes that last screen.


(rolling sfx)

There it goes. Can you win it here?

(ding) (scattered cheers)

Third 4 completing the triple.


After Round 9:

(tones sound)

And what a time for that signal to sound. We're about to play the 10th and final round of the game.

Bryan, here's the situation. You must win this question and score at least 20 points. If you end this round with a straight, the game is tied at 97 and we play a tie-breaker question. A triple or any combination of 13 gives you the win and forces the mad dash for the cash.

Any stumble along the way -- and Patseen is our new champion.


Missing digit question: In mid-July of 1952, a then eight-year-old Gladys Knight won the top prize on "Ted Mack's Amateur Hour". On the big screen, we'll show you how much money she won -- and you tell me the missing digit.

(Bryan buzzes in)

Bryan, to stay in the match, your answer, please.

[Bryan]

All I cna say is 2. 1 did me in last time.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Bryan's initial answer was 2. If Gladys won $2000 that night, you're still in business, Bryan. If not, Patseen, you've got a date with the Super Crag dice girl.

Uhhh -- that -- didn't come out right. (scattered laughter from the crowd) Is the missing digit a 2?

(ding; audience applause)

It is. Well -- one way or the other, Super Crag will have to wait.

Bryan, before the dice roll, remember, any straight ties this game. A triple or any sum of 13 wins this game and we go to the third and deciding game. Anything short of a triple -- means Patseen is our champion.

Both of you have been lucky with the dice rolls this match...

(rolling sfx)

...let's see if the luck continues.

[Bryan]

CAC

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

(ding)

There's a 4.

(ding)

And a 5 completes what would be a losing roll for a total of 10 points. Bryan, obviously, you'll have to reroll. Remember, a straight ties this game; a triple or any sum of 13 wins.

[Bryan]

Freeze 4 and 5 and go for CRAG!

C

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered cheers)

(freeze sfx)

They like the move. The 4 and 5 stay on the board for the rest of the round. The 1 rerolls. If you do get a 4, that's a Crag and you'll win the game. If you get a 6 with the 4 and 5, that's a high straight, we'll be tied at 97 and we'll go to a tie-breaker.

(rolling sfx)

There goes the screen. Let's see what happens.

(ding) (loud groans from the crowd)

Ohhhh! One short of a Crag. Game and the match go to Patseen.

(dings; audience cheers)

Wow. Both of you -- well-played. I think we only had two or three wrong answers the whole match -- and a lot of lucky rolls of the dice by the players.

Patseen, how ya feel?

[patpun2016]

Wow, I thought we would have a tie breaker. Anyway, that was a decent game! Good game, Bryan! (Offers Bryan a handshake)

[Bryan]

I enjoyed it! Let's do it again sometime!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(ding)

Stop on a 1.

Thanks for being a great sport, Bryan. We wish could give you more than a thousand bucks plus prizes. But I know you'll enjoy the Switch and our video game version of Crag.

A nice hand for Bryan Law, everyone.

(audience cheers)

But Patseen, to the victor go the spoils. You've already got $6000 in your pocket. Chance to win $5000 more comes now with our winner's board.

We have four different cash awards behind the letters in "Crag". Whatever you find you'll win immediately -- and we match that for your head start in Super Crag.

Which Crag letter would you like?

[patpun2016]

Let's try the A!

[dougmorrisontheair]

For winning the match, Patseen, you'll receive an additional...

(ding)

(audience cheers)

...$4000. Where was the 5000, by the way?

(ding)

Right next door -- R.

Patseen, you now have $10,000 in total winnings -- with a chance to add a million. Super Crag's next. Stay right there.

(WGYN theme plays; audience applauds)

(audience applauds)

Patseen racks up $10,000 in the match -- which -- if you think about it -- equals one million pennies.

But Patseen, you could be two rolls of the dice away from one million dollars. If you win the mega bonus tonight, what would you do with that kind of money?

[patpun2016]

Eh... A million dollars? That would cover my tuition, and... The rest should go to a new house. I want to buy a new house for my family to live better.

Oh, and I save some for some cheeseburgers too.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(scattered laughter from the crowd)

With money leftover for fries, I'd hope.

Patseen, please say hello to Ashley, today's dice girl. She now has your Super Crag dice. The dice in the cup are smaller -- but the stakes are bigger.

Since you won $4000 from the winner's board...

(ding)

... we seed the pot with a different $4000. Every time you want to play Super Crag, you roll all three dice -- and if it's a safe roll, you'll win more money based on the roll's value in hundreds of dollars.

All 20-point straights are now worth $2000 each. Any triple -- $2500. Roll 13 in any combination for $2600 -- *BUT* if that combination of 13 has a pair of a particular number in it, that's a Crag for $5000.

(audience cheers)


(rolling sfx)

Patseen, you want to build up the pot to at least $10,000. Have more than 10 grand in the pot -- and you win tonight's super bonus *of*...

(dings; audience cheers)

...$48,000.

But if you're really lucky and can hit $10,000 right on the nose, you win the mega bonus of $1,000,000.

(audience cheers)

On the down side -- every roll does come with a risk -- as Ashley will show us.

(scattered boos)

That risk is represented by that gremlin. One number on that cube has been replaced with the gremlin. If he comes up, you lose everything in the Super Crag. So after every safe roll, I'll give you a chance to stop.

You *may* stop right now, take $4000 and call it a day -- or you may risk everything in the pot by rolling the Super Crag dice.

(audience shouts suggestions)

(Patseen, if you wish to risk and roll, please respond with a number from 1-100. You'll see the result of that roll and the next few down the list so long as you have less than $10,000 in the pot, not stop the game and not roll the losing gremlin.)

[patpun2016]

Let's go! Come on Cragkers! (76)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers)

A Crag and a 10-point roll, not necessarily in that order, make you a millionaire. Good luck

(Patseen shakes up bucket; pours dice down ramp)

Oh my!

(audience groans; wonk wonk wonk wonk)

(Doug shakes head)

Unreal. Last week, our champion never ran into bad luck -- and this happened.

Patseen, I'm so sorry.

[patpun2016]

I knew this was going to happen! Never mind, I'll do better next time.

Oh, hey, Doug, I watched Crag since the first episode and I know what's going on next. Since it came out like this, could I have the honor to do the job, please?

[dougmorrisontheair]

Ah, we have a loyal friend and true. (Doug picks up gremlin cube; hands it to Patseen) Do it to it.

[patpun2016]

(Drops kick the Gremlin cube, the Gremlin flys and hit a camera's lens, glad it's still ok.)

...Oopsie!

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience laughs and applauds)

You realize that camera costs $10,000? (more laughter) You're our first champion to suddenly build on no cash winnings at all.

(more laughter)

Just kidding. You do keep the $10,000

We'll just put it on Mathers' tab. (more laughter) Patseen, we'll see you tomorrow -- and we'll see you for an audience game -- after this.

(WGYN theme plays; audience applauds)

[NOTE FROM DOUG: Due to various circumstances, the audience game will be a quickie. Next person to respond to this thread who didn't play the main games get a shot at a fast $5000 cash.]
