(fade in to me waiting for Space Mountain) (phone rings) Me: What?! This is, like, the 1,000,000th call I've gotten today. (answers) Hello? Sudden Voice: I have come... to order a Big Mac. Extra mayo, no onions. Fries too.Me: Sir, this is not a McDonald's. I never worked at McDonalds, and I never will. SV: This is (407) 939-0875? (McDonald's Kissimmee #, don't call unless you're ordering from there)Me: Ughhhhh. No, this is (407) 939-087 SIX. (fake number, please do not call) SV: I understand. I always get calls from people thinking I'm a stripper. I'm really not.Me: They say you're a WHAT? Where did that come from? SV: I almost have the same number as some famous stripper round town. It's horrible to listen to everyday. Me: Welp, hope they stop calling. Bye. (hangs up) And that's why I change my phone provider every 2 years. New phone numbers. (fade out)
(CS intro) Jacob: Maybe a truck, maybe a van, for the best card player in the land, on... CARD SHARKS! (applause)And now, from Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Orlando, here's your host... KYLE SIMMONS!!!
(I walk out to tremendous applause, wearing a Mickey Mouse suit and tie) (bows) Yes, thank you, Jacob! Welcome to Card Sharks. This is day 3 here at DISNEY WORLD! (monstrous applause) And we have a champion here, who has over $135,000 in cash and car, here's Greg Palmer! (applause) He said on the last show that he can't drive. If you were to give this car to somebody, who would you give it to?

I'd probably try to sell it to my uncle, or my mother. Or whoever was willing to give me the best price. We could hold an auction during the break, if you'd like.

That would make sense. Actually, get me a gavel for the break. (laughter) That car's getting sold tonight.
Anyways, good luck for you.
And now, our challenger, he's back and ready to attack, Frank Jones! (applause)
He now hosts Tic Tac Dough, which comes on right before this. Other than TTD, how is it in your life?

same old stuff. Had to retire from teaching the piano when the hosting gig came along. One thing that may come in the future is a hosting gig for 21 an unrigged version.

Oh yeah, that's possible. Get me one of those cowboy hats too. (laughter)
Good luck, Frank. Get ready for game 1... after these messages.
(applause, shot of me with Cinderella) (fade out)
Grumpy: We've got closed captioning. Right, Sleepy? (shot of Sleepy... well, sleeping) Hey, Sleepy, get yourself up! We have closed captioning! Sleepy, now dazed and confused: (lightbulb turns on) Oh yeah! Closed captioning! It's sponsored by the following!

(fade in to me sleeping on C3PO) Waugh! (laughter, then clapping) Woah, you scared me! (small laughter from audience) Anyways, to win the game and the match, you must work your way through the board, calling higher or lower than the previous card. If you do that, you win the match, you play Money Cards, and you go for this! (points to car) Jacob: THIS BRAND NEW CORVETTE!!!
(OOHs and AHHs from crowd)
Jacob: This is the 2023 Corvette Stingray, providing everything you need when you look for quality and good looks. Comes with a 6.2 liter engine, rear-wheel drive, 8-speed automatic transmission, leather seats, Bluetooth audio and video, Keyless Start system, Navigation system, and a roof panel! $90,850!!!
(applause from the crowd, cheers)
Me: Wow, what a beauty! You can win that if you have a Joker in the Car round. Greg, you're the champion, so the first question goes to you.
Greg, we asked 100 men who work at restaurants throughout Florida... Have you ever given an order to the wrong person? How many said they have?

I'd have to say that if a restaurant is particularly busy, that's exactly what might happen. I'll say 65.

GREG [65]
He says 65. James, higher or lower than 65?
