Speaker 1 (03:16):
All right, so check this out, Pablo. So every week
a caller gets to guess the initials because it's just
two letters. If the caller gets one in the right spot,
they win two hundred and fifty bucks. If they say
both in the right spot, they win. The Progressive jackpot
goes up five hundred dollars every week. Right now, it's
one hundred and eight thousand dollars. We've had two people
win it, but it's been years now since it's gone off,

(03:36):
so one hundred and eight thousand dollars. I asked Andrew
to Paul up the vikings this last week. I'll ask
you if you had to guess, if you were the caller,
give me the combo. What what two letters would you
guess today? G L G L All right, he's going gl.

How are you hello there? Richard? Fabulous, fantastic. It would
be even better if you want one hundred and eight

in Pablo and people listening, maybe for the first time.
So I have twelve items are going to be people, places, things,
phrases can be absolutely anything. They're going to share the

(05:30):
same set of initials. I will reveal them in a second.
I start giving clues. There are six clues per item.
As soon as you know what I'm describing. It's kind
of a riddle. You yell out your name. Your name
is your buzzer. If you ring in and get it right,
you have five seconds to solve. By the way, if
you get it right, you get a point. If you
get it wrong, you're out for only that item, and

(05:51):
then we play best out of twelve. The all time
record is nine. Normally takes about five to win, give
or take any other questions. Feel good, Pablo, get it?

Sauce has one. There's four items to go. So Parish

back real quick.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Course I won't get a chance after the game. Is
that giant lake fresh water or saltwater? Uh?

Speaker 2 (18:36):

Speaker 1 (21:23):
So it's like a It's where they kind of cut
an onion and it looks like a blooming flower and
then they deep fry the hell out of it. So
it's basically like an onion ring in a flower form.
You're not missing much. I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
I'll try it for sure.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Anybody you know who makes a good blooming onion outside

Clue number three.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
This phrase originates from cricket. Clue number four implies a
momentary loss of focus or composure. Huh yep, blackout? No,

(22:51):
all right, so Chris is out for the rest of

Speaker 5 (24:10):
And then he said it didn't and then said, oh
that's an an m I want to the same thing.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, how right? In my mind that is exactly what Pablo.
Have you ever played cricket?

Speaker 2 (24:20):
No, but when you say cricket, I was thinking batter out.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh yeah. But then some of the other clues didn't
make sense. Not a big sport in Venezuela. You guys
just stick to baseball. Cricket can stay to other kinds.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
They can get bouncing down somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
All right, Final one, Marnie, you have five, Hawk has four,
so Marnie. If you get this right, you win. Hawk.
You need this for the tie. If Pablo, Sauce or
Parrish gets this and Marnie also is the winner, good guy. Yeah,
Chris needs this for the tie. Everybody else gets Marnie
a win. Here's the final item number twelve of BOH.

Kingdom of Fraud

Kingdom of Fraud

It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
