[koopakid17]

Bill McDee returns for his third day, having won a brand new car. Who's up for the challenge?

[EaglesWings1975a]

I play please

[koopakid17]

We'll start soon!

[koopakid17]

Jim Thornton: If you have the guts and the gall, Call the cards right, and you'll win it all on...

And now, here is the host of Card Sharks, Kevin Kolsen!

Me: Hi, everyone! Thank you very much! Nice to see everyone here, and you at home as well. Welcome to Card Sharks! We have two players ready to battle it out for the chance to win $80,000 and a brand new car. Charlene and Terri are dealing the cards for Bill and Chris. Come on up!

*Bill and Chris run to their podiums*

Bill McDee had a very good run on our last show. He won a car, and he now has a two-day total of $61,265!

*cheers and applause*

How does it all feel, Bill?

[billmcdee]

Magnificent!  I've been needing a new car, and with all the cash I've won thus far, I should have enough to fill the gas tank two or three times!

[koopakid17]

Glad to hear it. It’s the first car we’ve given away in a while. There’s someone who wants to try their hand at it, too. That person is Chris Chambers. Let’s hear about you, Chris.

[EaglesWings1975a]

**Kevin, I need your intro in TABOO please**

Thanks for having me here today


My name is Chris Chambers.. I am a full time cashier from Arkansas.. Since College Football season has started, I love watching my Arkansas Razorbacks Football Team

Hopefully, I can win a car today and some gas money


I shake Bill's hand.. Good luck my friend

[billmcdee]

Good luck to you Chris!

[koopakid17]

That's great to see, along with the great sportsmanship. Here's how we play.

BILL

CHRIS
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

Each of you has a deck of playing cards, aiming to call their row from left to right. We play best of three. Your first round is for $500, your second is for $1,000 and the right to play the Money Cards. We determine control with high-low questions. They're designed to judge your ability to analyze human nature. Bill, you receive the first one. We asked 100 people...

"Would you be comfortable if someone brought an emotional support animal other than a dog or a cat on public transportation?"

How many said yes, Bill?

[billmcdee]

That's tricky to answer because they could have something like a snake which I myself would not feel too comfortable sharing a ride with.


I'd say that number would be semi low, 38 out of 100 would say they were comfortable with an emotional support pet that was not a cat or dog.

[EaglesWings1975a]

I am in the same boat as Bill.. They could also have a pet Hamster .

But I will go a higher

[koopakid17]

38 out of 100 according to Bill are fine with an emotional support animal that isn't a cat or a dog on public transportation.

[38][__][__]

*ding*

Chris thinks that number is higher.

[38][__][HI]

*ding*

Actual number of people who would be fine sharing a public transportation ride with an animal other than a cat or a dog is...

[38][30][HI]

*dingdingding*

30 of them; just a bit lower! Yeah, if it's a small animal, it could work, but if you want to bring a snake on board, you need another kind of support.

BILL

Bill, you get the calling started. You have...

CHRIS
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

A Queen!

[billmcdee]

I'll say lower please Kevin.

[koopakid17]

Lower than the Queen?

BILL
[Q ♥][A.♠][C*S][C*S][C*S]
CHRIS
[C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

No, an Ace.

*buzzer*

Bad time for that to show up. We discard the Ace.

Noted. Went without saying, but this and all others for you will be untimed downs for now to borrow a phrase. Continuing on...

Lower than the ten?

Already had to make a call on a middle card. You could change that six later on. For now, we must go to our second question of the game. This question involves our special polling group. I'll invite ten of our audience members to stand up. Thank you very much. Chris, these ten audience members are female softball coaches. Before we started taping, we had them answer a question in the green room. Here's what we asked them:

"Should female sports be coached only by female coaches?"

How many of these coaches said yes, Chris?

[EaglesWings1975a]

Other than women's gymnasts, I don't watch any women's sports.. I know some men coach/train women's gymnasts. If I am not mistaken some women coach/ train women's gymnasts..



But the people in the audience are female softball coaches..

I will say the middle of the road 5 coaches said yes female sports should be coached by female coaches

[koopakid17]

[__][__][ 5]

*ding*

Bill, do you think the actual number of the coaches who said only females should coach in female sports is higher or lower than five?

[billmcdee]

I suspect, with all due respect to the coaches who took this poll, that while perhaps not as strong, females have egos too and my wife's the first to agree with me on that so I must be right (chuckles).

I dare say more than 5 of these female softball coaches will feel like women should coach or manage other women's sports teams.

[koopakid17]

Higher than five.

[HI][__][ 5]

*ding*

Actual number of coaches who told us that female sports should be coached only by female coaches is...

[HI][ 5][ 5]

*school bell*

Exactly five of them! This may not be darts, but Chris, you've hit the bullseye! I have with me $1,000 in cash from my pocket for you. As an added bonus, our special polling group will share $1,000.

*cheers and applause*

Who answered yes to this?

*five coaches raise their hands*

Since you were all down the line, I'll talk to one who said yes and one who said no. I'll start with the one in the front wearing the baseball cap. Why did you say no?

Coach #1: I don't think it should matter who's teaching them the skills they need in sports.

I see. Next, I'll go to your neighbor. You said yes, why is that?

Coach #2: I feel women can achieve a better dynamic when they have the same gender as their coach. I can connect with my players more this way.

Me: Mm-hmm. $100 each for you already. We may hear from you all later on. For now, you may return to your seats.

You froze on a six, Chris. Call off that or change?

[EaglesWings1975a]

Yes change that six please

[koopakid17]

Trying to improve on that six. It becomes...

BILL
[Q ♥][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]
—————|CHRIS
[10♦][A.♥][C*S][C*S][C*S]

An Ace!

[EaglesWings1975a]

Lower please

Lower than the Ace?

BILL
[Q ♥][C*S][C*S][C*S][C*S]

[10♦][A.♥][6 ♦][C*S][C*S]

A six.

[EaglesWings1975a]

Freeze Please

[koopakid17]

Freezing after another single call.

Two away from the advantage. Let's go to another high-low question. Bill, we found 100 people who identify themselves as Democrats. We asked them:

"If Joe Biden was still running for re-election, would you have voted for him?"

How many people said they would not have voted for Biden?

[billmcdee]

I think the number who would NOT have voted for him would be relatively low.


I'll say 27.

[EaglesWings1975a]

I am in the same boat as bill, but I say a little higher
