Doug: All right, friends, time to wrap up another year of mind-reading 
and second guessing with the Cyber-Phone Match extended version.

David Barkow's name was drawn to play the Cyber-Phone Match.  Hello,
David.

David B.: Hello everyone.

Doug: David, you've just won CY$500 and will have a chance to win more by 
trying to match as many of our nine stars as you can.  Each time you 
match a star, you win another CY$100.  However, if you manage to match all 
nine, your total winnings are augmented to CY$2500.

Then, you'll play for ten times the current earnings -- which could be
CY$25,000.  Even if you don't run the table, you could still play for 
25-grand with a lucky match of one particular star.

For now, David and all nine stars, please respond to this.

Confucious say, "Japanese man who spend all of his money on his 
mistress has no << BRANK >> for his wife."

(audience laughs) (think music plays)

   

Doug: OK, they're all set.  David, the question again.

Confucious say, "Japanese man who spend all of his money on his 
mistress has no << BRANK >> for his wife."

David B.: Money.

(loud groans from the crowd)

Doug: Ohhhhh dear.  I sense a lot of generic/specific mismatches.
Let's just go through the motions.  Jason, we start with you.

Jason: This has no potential to become offensive. At all. I think 
this is what we call a Frasier joke. Get out your dictionaries. 
Japanese man who spend all of his money on his mistress has no...

+----------------+
|      YEN       |
|                |
+----------------+

Jason: ...for his wife.

(audience cheers) (buzz)

Doug: *There's* the answer.  Yen is the unit of currency in Japan.
Yen can also be synonymous with desire.  Hence why we can't match
general "money" with specific "yen".  That said, Dana, what came to
your mind?

Dana: (card) Yen.

(more cheers) (buzz)

Doug: More yen.  Tom?

Tom: He have no (flip) DIME for his wife.

(buzz) (a few boos from the crowd)

Doug: Nope.  Again, dime's too specific to match money.  Middle row
now and Philip.  Confucious say, "Japanese man who spend all of 
his money on his mistress has no << BRANK >> for his wife."

Philip: (card) Sex.

(audience laughs) (buzz)

Doug: Kinda on the right track -- but no.  Chad?

Chad: He wouldn't have much of a...

[YEN]

Chad: ...for his wife. 

(audience cheers) (buzz)

Doug: Another yen.  To Mark now.

Mark: (card) YEN

(more cheers) (buzz)

Doug: More yen from the panel.  Now to the bottom row and Ryan.
Confucious say, "Japanese man who spend all of his money on his 
mistress has no << BRANK >> for his wife."

Ryan: The only thing I could think of was...

+=====+
| Yen |
+=====+

(more cheers) (buzz)

Doug: They still like the definitive answer.  Dean?

Dean: (card)

+-----+
| YEN |
+-----+

(more cheers) (buzz)

Doug: Oh, dear, David, don't you wish you'd thought of yen now?  Maybe
you've matched your namesake over here.  David Hammond of Net Spin-Off
fame, last chance for "money".

David H.: Before I reveal my answer, Doug.  I would just like to say 
thank you to you and Ryan for having me back.  With this appearance, 
I have now been in every square in the panel except yours, Ryan's and 
Chad's. 

Doug: Ah, interesting fact indeed.

David H.: I may be going off base here but the young grasshopper 
doesn't have any.....

+-------+
| LOVE  |
+-------+

David H.: ...for his wife.

(scattered applause) (buzz)

Doug: Love, a dime, sex and lots of yen -- but no money.  Well, the
matter of a secret square for this Cyber-Phone Match is a moot point.
However, who was in said square?

YEN | YEN | DIME
SEX | YEN | YEN
YEN | YEN | LOVE

David B.'s answer: MONEY

   
 
(buzz)

Doug: Mark Sinsabaugh -- who was in the majority with yen.

Well, David, you still have CY$500 -- and we still go forward with
a Head-To-Head question worth ten times what you have presently or
CY$5000.  Please choose one of our nine stars to play with for
the Head-To-Head Match.

David B.: I choose David.

 

   

Doug: David's gonna try to match David for the five-large.  David
Hammond, you'll write down your answer.  David Barkow, when he's
done, I'll call for your answer.  And here's the question.

________PLUS
 

Doug: << BLANK >> Plus.  That's P-L-U-S.  << BLANK >> Plus.

(MG-HSH Super Match think music plays) 

 

  
(ding)

Doug: OK, David Barkow.  The David here in the studio is ready with
his answer.  We call for yours.  << BLANK >> Plus.

David B.: Password Plus

(audience cheers)

Doug: I have a feeling we're going to end on a winning note.  David
Hammond, are we making your namesake CY$5000 richer?

David H.: One of my all-time favorites.
