Doug: I thank you Scarlett. Welcome back to the second half of Hot Dice.
Before we start the next game, I have to share the tie-breaker intended for the last game. The choices there were also Jan Murray, Anne Murray or Ann Curry. The question: Who would you have most likely seen seated above Box #3 on the brief mid-1970s version of "Break the Bank"? The right answer -- Jan Murray.

Doug: All right -- no more Jan, Anne and Ann in this game. Before we start, let's see how we're doing in the moolah department. Michael, you banked CY$3100 in the previous game. Nikolai won that last game and has brought his winnings up to a record-setting CY$107,850.
Doug: Now we all know about Nikolai from previous shows. But let's get the Michael Clifford story from Michael Clifford.
Michael: My name is Michael Clifford. I am from Marlton, New Jersey. I am currently unemployed. I like watching game shows and playing netgames. There is one other thing I like to say, Doug. As many of you may know, one of my celebrity crushes, Heather Morris, will not be a regular on "Glee" anymore.
Doug: Oh -- bummer.
Michael: I know, I know. However, she is about to have her child soon, so I just want to get one thing straight for everybody out there. I AM NOT THE FATHER! Thank you.
(audience laughs and applauds)
Doug: I'm not related to Heather -- so I'm not the dad either. (more laughter) Before this turns into "Maury", let's start a new game.
|
Doug: And we start with this toss-up question.
Rice, Wheat or Grain. Give me the middle name of author Edgar Burroughs.
Doug: Nikolai.
Nikolai: Rice.
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) First free roll of the new game goes to you, Nikolai.

|
Doug: And what a great start -- the yo-leven for CY$1100. Now, Nikolai and Michael, please let me direct your attention to the double decision board for a moment.
Doug: Because you each have one loss against you, a "lose loss" card is hiding in one of the screens. It will stay somewhere on the board until the end of the game or until one of you rolls a double, goes to the board and finds "lose loss". When *that* happens, the loss that's against you goes away -- and we replace "lose loss" with something else.
So with all that, Nikolai, want to bank CY$1100 or roll again?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Nikolai: I think I'll give 'em another go.
|
|
Doug: You've heard of "seven come eleven"? Unfortunately, we went the other way around. An eleven -- then came seven.
No score as yet -- as we start Round 2 with this question.
Birmingham, Alabama; Miami, Florida or Orlando, Florida. Which southeastern city is *not* known as "The Magic City"?
Nikolai: Orlando
Doug: Even though it's home to an NBA team named the Magic, Orlando is not "The Magic City". (audience applause) Dice are yours again, Nikolai.
|
|
Doug: OK, a 7 -- but this was a free roll -- so we *do* seed the pot with CY$700. The next 7 in this round is a bust.
Nikolai: Well, I think I'll roll again and hope I don't bust again.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Rats. Third straight 7; second straight bust.
Well, we're suddenly starting Round 3. Here's your toss-up for control of the dice.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman or Dwight D. Eisenhower. Who was the first U.S. President to earn a six-figure salary?
Doug: Michael.
Michael: Harry S. Truman
Doug: That's right. (audience applause) Dice haven't been lucky for Nikolai so far. Let's see if they turn better for you, Michael.
|
|
Doug: And -- double 2. But no double decision on the free roll. So we seed the pot with CY$400. Bank 'em or roll 'em?
Michael: Roll 'em!
|
|
|
|
Doug: The ol' Lawrence Welk gag -- a 1 and a 2. Well -- wanna be 700 to the good or are ya in a greedy mood?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I have to roll them again.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Hey now -- double decision time. Michael, would you like for us to add CY$600 to the pot...
Doug: ...or would you like to see what the double 3 screen hides on the board. If cyber-cash is there, we add that much to the pot instead of CY$600. If there's a surprise, we follow the directions. If there's a bust -- well -- we still have a scoreless tie.
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: I'll go for what's behind the board.
Doug: All right, instead of putting CY$600 in the pot, what happens?
Doug: We end the round with a scoreless tie. Yikes. Shuffle that board, please. I don't want to see that bust.
Doug: Well -- are we having fun yet?
(a few laughs from the crowd)
Doug: Fourth round starting now. Let's see if we can turn around the luck with this.
Which of the following best describes Brian Griffin on "Family Guy": first born, second born or adopted?
Doug: Michael.
Michael: Adopted.
Doug: Brian is the Griffin family's dog -- so adopted would be the best description.
|
|
|
|
Doug: Michael couldn't wait to roll 'em -- and he starts with a 7, wouldn't ya know? Michael, this was the free roll -- so we do seed the pot with CY$700. But if you roll another 7 in this round -- well -- ya know. Bank 'em or roll 'em?
(audience shouts suggestions)
Michael: Roll 'em! No more sevens!
