Rich: A fan of the classics.
Doug: A fan of the classics. All right, Will. We again start with you. Give a letter away you don't want.
Will: I'll give away a zed.
Doug: No zed. No Z either. Take a letter you think will help you.
Will: I will take an A, and hopefully this will give it to me.
Doug: I think there's at least one A.
Doug: In fact, exactly one A. This is to tie the game and stay in business. A fan of the classics.
Will: Well, I think I might be cleaning out my pantyhose drawer, because I have no idea on this one.
(light laughter from the crowd) (buzz buzz)
Doug: If he does sweep ya, I thank you in advance for being a great sport about this. Andy, your turn.
Andy: Let's give the Q.
Doug: Q's a good choice. Take a letter.
Andy: I'll take the T.
Doug: Believe it or not, folks. *No* T. Will, back to you.
Will: Let's give away an X.
Doug: X is a good choice. Take a letter.
Will: I will take an R.
Doug: Take two R's while you're at it.
Doug: With an A and two R's, can you tie the score? A fan of the classics.
Will: I don't have much of an idea on this one.
Doug: All right. Control goes back to Andy.
Andy: I'll give the J.
Doug: No J. Take a letter
Andy: I'll take the E.
Doug: Have a look.
Doug: *Four* E's. A correct answer makes you our first undefeated champion. A fan of the classics.
Andy: I don't quite know it yet.
Doug: Very well. Will, control's back in your court.
Will: I will give away a W.
Doug: No W. Now take a letter.
Will: For myself, I will take an O.
Doug: I think there's just the one.
Doug: Indeed, there's just the one O. Another chance to tie the ballgame. A fan of the classics.
Will: I'm gonna try to solve this.
Doug: Go ahead.
Will: HE LIKES OPERA VERDI MUCH
Doug: Dude, you don't to have to shout. I'm right here. (audience laughs) And you're right, he *does* like opera Verdi much.
Doug: And I have to give a call to my *current* and great co-worker at Rock 104, Andy Webb, for the inspiration for that. A caricature artist drew a picture of him with a t-shirt that read "I like opera Verdi much". And it is true -- Andy likes opera and his brother recently performed in one.

Doug: Suddenly, folks, we have a ballgame. One round decides our winner. Is Andy Silikovitz going to win it all -- or is Will Schmarder going to finish a huge comeback? You come back -- and get the answer.
