(Frank rolls)

(buzz; NYSI89 losing horns; audience groans)

Got a 2 and a 3. They don't add up to 7.

But they do make you $500 richer.

(ding)

(FF reveal sfx)

For a total, as Wally points out, of three and a half large. That's great going.

Your *grand* total as our new champion, Frank, is...

(FF reveal sfx)

...$38,500.

(audience cheers)

Frank, if you win the next game and solve the next Big 6 word, we'll up the ante in Lucky 7.

Meantime, we'll round up a challenger for Frank -- after this.

(theme plays; audience cheers)

[dougmorrisontheair]

And we're about to search for a challenger for Frank. In an effort to spread the wealth, please sit on your hands if you've played a main game of the 49th, 50th, or 51st episode of OAR.

So -- we'll bypass qualifying and simply ask -- who's in?

[basketball32]

I’ll play.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(theme plays; audience applause)

Welcome back to On A Roll. Frank's $38,500 to the good. But we have a new roller looking to take home a lot of cash. Let's welcome Raymond Weaver.

(audience cheers)

Raymond, please tell us about yourself.

[basketball32]

I’m from Virginia Beach, Virginia and I work at a bagel shop.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Nice to have you hear from Virginia. Did you bring any bagels today?

[basketball32]

Yes I did, they’re in the break room.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Really? I didn't see in the break room before airtime?

Director (over loud speaker): We saved your bagel here in the control room, Doug?

(scattered laughter from crowd)

Thanks. I appreciate that.

With that, players, let's begin a new game with a name game.

(FF reveal sfx)

And a big one to start. A ten-letter last name is the correct answer to this question.

Who helped the Miami Dolphins get on a roll -- toward an undefeated season in the early 1970s?

(ding)

(Raymond and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

I can just hear everyone watching this on Channel 4 in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and vicinity scream out the right answer.

Okay, players, let's try this again -- but with three more letters.

(Raymond and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

He went on to become the longtime co-host of "Inside the NFL".

(ding)

Nick Buoniconti.

Okay, still looking for a name game winner. Let's give this one a try.

(FF reveal sfx)

Seven-letter answer to this question.

What fictional character, we're dealing with a work of fiction this time,...

What fictional character is back on a roll -- on "Star Trek: Prodigy"?

(ding)

(Raymond and Frank, please PM me your answer and a buzz code from 1-100.)

[dougmorrisontheair]

(time passes)

(buzz buzz)

(scattered groans)

Some people here in the audience are tempted to scream out the answer. Please do not.

Players, three more letters will pop in after I repeat the question.

(Raymond buzzes in)

Raymond?

[basketball32]

Janeway?

[dougmorrisontheair]

(dings; audience cheers)

(buzz buzz)

Raymond, please step into to the box. We owe you four dice rolls. But first, let's load up the ol' game board.


(FF reveal sfx; Lisa poses near board)

As before, three rows of clues up there leading up to the identity of a person, place, or thing.

Raymond, you'll be rolling numbers and sums to reveal the letters behind the numbers. The letters blocked by question marks stay blocked until you correctly solve a clue.

When you're rolling, please do *not* roll doubles. Any double means your opponent takes over the remaining rolls and picks up a free letter.

(Puala hands Raymond dice)

So you've got the rules and the dice. Raymond, you are on a roll.

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

Starting off with a 3 and a 6.

This means you may take any 3 and 6 off the board -- and they don't have to be on the same row -- or you may play the sum and take a 9.

[basketball32]

I’ll take the 3 and the 6 off the top row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

Okay, starting with a C...

(Lisa touches screen)

...and an R.

Raymond, you may guess the top row's clue or roll again.

As always, if you're wrong on a clue or the overall puzzle, there's no penalty for the wrong guess.

[basketball32]

I’ll roll again.

[dougmorrisontheair]

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Drat! Snake bit by snake eyes. Sorry about that, Raymond.

Players, please trade places. Frank, you're about to touch the dice for the first time in the game.

But first, any unblocked number is free for the asking.

[fdriscoll22]

Let's do 1 in the bottom row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

And you get an E for that effort.  Frank, you may guess the bottom row's clue -- or roll again.

[fdriscoll22]

I’ll roll Doug
(I’m Frank, not Chris btw)

[dougmorrisontheair]

Okay, Frank. Roll 'em.

(audience cheers as...) (Frank rolls)

(audience groans)

(buzz)

Dang! Snake eyes bit you, too! Sorry about that.

Players, please trade places again. Raymond, you're back in business.

But first, please take one free letter.

[basketball32]

number 4 in the top row

[dougmorrisontheair]

(Lisa touches screen)

And there's a K. Raymond, you may guess the top row's clue or take the last roll in this round.

[basketball32]

I’ll take the last roll.

[dougmorrisontheair]

Will we get our third straight roll of snake eyes?

(audience cheers as...) (Raymond rolls)

Nope. We end the round the way we started it -- with a 3 and a 6...

...or a 9.

[basketball32]

7 and 2 on the top row

[dougmorrisontheair]

2 and 7 may total 9.

But in this game, you can only play the individual numbers you rolled -- 3 and 6, in this case -- or the sum of 9.

[basketball32]

oh ok, then 9 on the top row
