Let me look that up on my computer here. (Greg looks it up, edit) Oh, as of 2020, their population is 189,633. That's not nearly enough pizza. We're only providing for 2,500 people. Marc, we're going to have to do something about that. I'm going to have to throw in another.... dingdingdingdingding, khhhh.... $17,800 in cash. (audience oohs) And to keep the game competitive, the best I can do regarding the price is $5. That'd put you in a tie with James, who as you know is a fierce competitor. (beat, Greg comes to a realization) Why am I telling you all this, I'm trying to get you to buy!
$50,000 in cash, pizza, and soft drinks for five bucks! Going once.... going twice...
