Not off the top of my head, but I may have some archived info back at home base. I can try to look into that.
Also, you might be able to find it somewhere on this site, with the archived episodes.

I apologize, the game will begin tomorrow, Wednesday July 8th. Working on some stuff for it now, plus having dinner and heading to sleep soon due to really bad sleep patterns these past few weeks. I plugged Zquil on one of the shows, I need to use it  |

A very happy early birthday to you. Ah to be 28 again...
Retro video games, are these the kind that are hooked up to your television set, or are these the actual arcade type machines that take quarters?

These are the kinds that get hooked up to the TV. My collection includes a NES/SNES combo console, as well as the original and second Playstation and Nintendo 64.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the host of Gambit in the A.M., Tony Lane! (applause) (shaking your hand) Tony I thank you kindly, but as the saying goes "I only work here." The credit goes to all the hard working individuals behind the scenes who bring it all together.

You can also see Tony here during CBS Daytime hosting the revised "The Joker's Wild", now in its second season! Tony, much continued success with all that you do, and I thank you for gracing our set with a visit and the very kind words! Tony Lane everybody! (cheering & applause) Nathan, whenever you're ready, tell us the Nathan Diniz story  |

Well Bill, I originally was born & raised in Rapid City, SD, and then when I was about 11 or 12 (I think), I moved to Champaign, IL to live with my grandparents, lived there for a little over 20 years, and at the end of May last year, I moved to Mobridge, SD and even though I don't live with my step-parents (who really aren't far from where I live now), I love them, and everyone I know in town. I'm currently trying to make some progress towards some important goals, like finally getting a job, heading to Kansas City, MO to visit my family there, and getting a new PC (which is a top priority, because even though I do have a nice desktop PC, it's bulky and I will be getting a laptop geared around me.

Nathan, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, as well as here on Gambit P.M. At this time I'll ask Lynn to break the seal on a brand new deck of 52 cards. Nathan, as the challenger I'll ask you to please cut them. Select a number higher than 0 but lower than 52.  Now to the winner of game 1 this prize will be awarded, and here's my good buddy Frank Caliendo to tell you about it, Frank? picosong.com/9LQ9/Frank Caliendo (As Kenny Williams) - It's a collection of lamps...  Barbara Cosgrove's Candlestick table lamp illuminates a modern interior with textured flair. Topped with a matching finial, the turned light fixture utilizes familiar style with updated artistry. Retail value, $475, okay Bill! |

Some reminders before we begin. In lieu of buzz codes, electronic dice are rolled to determine who must answer the toss-up question. A correct answer scores $100 for you and control over the card. Either an incorrect answer or a missed deadline, 48 hours from the time the question is posted, will result in your opponent scoring $100 and determining the fate of the card. We show you the first card at the start of game 1 and game 2, but only the first card. Once you reach a score of 12 or higher, if you are in the lead at that moment, you will be given the option to freeze. If you elect to continue playing, you may not freeze until you receive another card, and that card must put you into the lead, or keep you in the lead. The winning player will score $50 multiplied by their hand total, with a house minimum of $500 per win guaranteed. If you hit 21 exactly, the game automatically is over and you will win. In addition to winning $1,050, you'll also win the Any 21 Jackpot. It starts at $1,000 and grows by $250 per game until hit. It was hit during our last game, so tonight, it is worth... (clang)  $1,000. If you score 21 with only two cards, we pay double... (clang clang)  Or $2,000. Finally, the winner of game #1 plays a mini-bonus game called "Beat the Dealer". We've played it 13 times and we've had 11 winners. For this reason, we're implementing a new version of "Beat the Dealer" which may prove a bit more challenging to win. Lynn, what is the first card in this brand new match?  Going after a 9 of Diamonds. Here's your first question fellas, and good luck to you both! WHICH VOWEL OCCURS SECOND IN THE STANDARD ENGLISH ALPHABET?  Mark's roll was a 7, Nathan's was a 5, so Mark, you get to answer. In addition to giving your answer Mark, also please indicate if you wish to keep the 9 or give it away. |

Post by GameShowNetwork on Jul 9, 2015 7:49:23 GMT -5
E. And I'm keeping the nine.

|

Post by billmcdee on Jul 9, 2015 13:39:58 GMT -5
E is indeed correct! It also happens to be the only letter I can ever decipher on my eye doctor's chart!  Next question for $100 and control of the next card in the deck... WHAT FIRST NAME IS SHARED BY TALK SHOW HOST O'BRIEN AND A SCHWARZENEGGER CHARACTER? picosong.com/g3fZ/ Dice Rolls - Nathan 11, Mark - 7 Nathan, your answer and also indicate if you wish to keep the next card or give it away. |
|

Post by nathandiniz on Jul 9, 2015 15:50:46 GMT -5
I think the answer is Conan, and I will take the card if I am correct.
|
|
|
|
Post by billmcdee on Jul 10, 2015 3:38:37 GMT -5
 Conan is indeed correct, you score $100. Keeping the next card which is...  The 8 of Clubs!  Good game here 9 to 8. Next question... DURING A STANDARD CHESS MATCH, WITH HOW MANY PAWNS DOES EACH PLAYER START?  Nathan you are first again. Please indicate, along with your answer, if you wish to keep the next card or give it away. |
|
|
|
Post by nathandiniz on Jul 10, 2015 15:38:42 GMT -5
How about 8? If I'm right, I'll keep the card. I won't freeze until I have a total of 16 through 20
|

Post by billmcdee on Jul 11, 2015 14:32:03 GMT -5
Nathan 8 is correct, 8 pawns per player to start. Keeping the next card.  And it is...  (moans & groans in the audience) A 6, giving you 14.  Nathan is electing to continue, so here now is our next $100 toss-up question gentlemen... SUNBLOCK IS USED TO PROTECT AGAINST UV RAYS. WHAT DOES UV STAND FOR? picosong.com/g3fZ/ Nathan's roll = 4 Mark's roll = 6 Mark, you have 48 hours from now to answer the question, and to indicate if you wish to keep this next card or give it away. |
|
|
|
Post by GameShowNetwork on Jul 11, 2015 14:54:57 GMT -5
I believe UV stands for ultra violet, so that's my answer. And since I only have a total of nine at the moment, I will keep the card.
|
|
|
|
Post by billmcdee on Jul 12, 2015 8:19:17 GMT -5
$100 more for that correct answer, and I am living proof of UV rays. Went to a yard sale recently, didn't apply enough sunblock, and now I'm even redder than the King of Hearts! Mark's keeping this next card, rather than passing it and trying to force Nathan to go over 21... Lynn?  Another 9. Had you passed that, you would have won game #1.  As it is Mark, you have a pair of 9s, which is good for poker and for Gambit. Total is now 18. Do you wish to freeze or continue? |

Post by nathandiniz on Jul 12, 2015 9:48:01 GMT -5
*Thinks to himself: "This will be a completely forced situation. I will obviously be forced to answer the questions and since there is a chance I may answer incorrectly, Mark will win round one, since Mark plans to obviously freeze"........*

Post by GameShowNetwork on Jul 12, 2015 18:53:13 GMT -5
I will freeze

Post by billmcdee on Jul 12, 2015 19:08:57 GMT -5
Freezing right there on 18, and who can blame him?  Nathan, you'll need to score a 19, 20 or 21 in order to win. You'll need at least one more card in order to do so therefore, Nathan for $100 and control of the next card, answer this question correctly... A RAM, A BULL OR A GOAT. IN THE ZODIAC, WHICH ONE REPRESENTS TAURUS? |
|

Post by nathandiniz on Jul 12, 2015 19:13:38 GMT -5
I will say the bull.
