Now that Hunter and I have completed our April Fools' switcheroo, we shall continue our High Rollers programs. Matt Riggenberg has a three day total of $102,641 and we need a challenger for him. If you'd like to play, sign up here. Also of note, the jackpot for the Big Numbers is at $35,000. (Nels played the last show, so he needs to sit this one out)

All deadlines are 48 hours and off we go.
(cue intro)
Rich: And now, a game of high stakes! Where every decision is a gamble and every move could be your last. High Rollers! (1987 main theme) And here's the man with all the action, Mark Liotta! (I come out to a tremendous applause from the audience)
Me: Thank you very much, Rich Fields. (Theme fades out) Welcome once again to High Rollers, everyone. If you want excitement, you've come to the right place because we have plenty of that around here. We have a jackpot of $35,000 in our Big Numbers game today and I hope we can give it to one of our two contestants that we have. Rich, who do you have for us on this mid week edition of our program?
Rich: Our returning champion is a supermarket clerk from Council Bluffs, Iowa. Welcome back Matt Riggenberg. Matt has a three day total of $102,641 and opposing him is Kevin Kolsen.
Me: Good to have you here with us today, Kevin. Remind the folks at home a little about yourself

Ah yes. Everyone needs that downtime now and again to get away from the stress of life. Good luck to both of you. Before we start, I would like to thank mister Hunter Dillon for doing a terrific job taking care of things around here yesterday. Now then players, let's look at some prizes you could take home.
Rich: In column one, a trip to Toronto! You and a guest will fly round trip coach from Los Angeles to Toronto, Ontario, Canada for a six night stay at the Grand Hotel and Suites Toronto. Daily breakfast included, along with one free dinner and a cruise of Inner Harbor. Retail value: $8,164. In column two, we have a television. Enjoy stunning picture quality on your 55 inch ultra high definition LED 4K smart television, allowing you to watch your favorite movies and TV shows just the way you like to. As an added bonus, we're also including the Xbox One game console. Includes one controller and six fun games to play on the system. Retail value: $2,530. And finally, for column three, $10,000 in cash! Total board value: $20,694!
Me: Some pretty good prizes up there, gentlemen. Here come the numbers for our first game.
5 7 3
8 4 9
6 2 1
And we don't have a hot column this time, so you'll have to win the prizes the old fashioned way by earning them. Here's the first question of the day for the two of you. What National League baseball team was named the Big Red Machine in 1975 and 1976?
