That $10,000 bonus is tempting, but a seven's too risky so I will freeze

(I move the freeze bar, audience cheers) Mark protects his position and keeps Doug from getting control. Well, we'll see what happens. (I pull out the next card) Doug, this question is yours. Our man on the street went to Red Square in Moscow, Russia and asked 100 Russian people... Do you believe Russia colluded with President Donald Trump?How many Russians believe Russia colluded with President Trump? |

Well,I would think Russians would want their leaders, from Putin on down, to focus on their country and not someone else’s. So, based on that, I’m thinking —23 Russians think Putin colluded in the U.S. election.

As you can see, we have a lot to play for in this first game. Mark has a trip to Switzerland and a 2018 Camaro on his prize column, and Doug has a trip to Tahiti. Someone in the audience is going to have a merry Christmas, that's for sure. Mark has a one-card lead, and this question. We surveyed 100 Christmas brides. These are all brides that are having their weddings on Christmas Day. We asked them.... Did you plan on having your wedding on Christmas Day just to get more presents?How many Christmas brides admitted they did plan on having the wedding that day just to get more presents? |

I don't know if those brides planned it intentionally or not, but I have a feeling some of them did so I will say 72

I have *some* expertise on this. I didn't get married on a Christmas day. But I did get married during a federal three-day holiday weekend.
And I think that's the thing. If you get married on a federal holiday, you and your loved one are almost assured of being free of professional responsibility for the day.
To this question's point, I don't think a lot of the brides wanted to get more gifts. They wanted an extra reason to make the holiday special -- and anniversaries special.
So -- I'm going lower.

(that card is discarded, and the two dealers replace the blank slots with new cards) And Mark doesn't advance, either. Well, we're down to the fourth question of this game... (I pull the card out) And that means it's time to play---- Audience: SUDDEN DEATH!Greg: Yes, indeed. We have a dual implication. Somebody must win on this turn of the cards. Doug, the question is yours. We surveyed 100 people and we asked them.... When your favorite radio station switches to an all-Christmas format, do you switch stations?(audience laughs) How many people said they do switch stations when their favorite station goes all-Christmas? |

Post by dougmorrisontheair on Dec 19, 2017 13:12:39 GMT -5
Wow. Question right up my alley. I’ve worked in radio for more than two decades.
Sometimes when a station goes all-Christmas, a format change follows after the presents are unwrapped.
But since your asking the listeners, based on my own unofficial research, about half like all-Christmas and the other half don’t. So —let’s go 55.

Mark says Higher. Now, to your point, Doug, I can think of a station that regularly goes all-Christmas starting in November but has stayed Adult Contemporary for years. Well, except for that time in the mid-90s when they were Hot AC, but that's a story for another day. The actual number of people who switch when their favorite station goes all-Christmas is....

27, it's lower! Doug has control. (I walk to the board) I was sure it was higher, Mark. I can't stand all-Christmas music. Of course, I host a Hot AC countdown [not IRL] so some of my affiliates don't play it. Doug, let's look at the board, shall we?

You have a four, and you have four cards to clear. You also have a trip to Tahiti. If you decide to play, you have to clear all four cards, no mistakes. One false move and Abdul Giles is going to Switzerland in a Camaro. Of course, should you clear all four cards, your partner Merritt's going to Tahiti. On the other hand, Mark's stuck with that 7. If he makes a mistake, you win, but if he clears, he wins. So, will you play or pass? Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? (audience shouts suggestions)
