For Van Buren. What this would be a Christmas miracle
for Douglas. Doug would be a movie tug Dog.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Come on, Doug, you know, Doug, let's break down the
math for a second. Nobody likes now that you know
you have one letter right right. The other letter there's
twenty six letters. The other letter, there's like eight letters
that probably aren't very likely. You really have like a
one in sixteen or so chance. Come on, of winnnd dollars,
(07:52):
you realize that you're like one out.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Of sixteen at this point, give or take. That's how
close you are. Give it to him. Yeah, I get that. Yeah, Unfortunately,
that's just close day. Sorry man, oh man.

But Doug, you went two one hundred and fifty bucks
thanks to saying Federal Douglas please.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So he gets beats. He he got the the easy letter,
he got the B. The other one was going to
be very tough. Qu yeah, B. And then we have
a vowel R. Nope, uh, eighty five hundred dollars. If
he had said B E wow, the letter E. But
(08:34):
he got the B for two fifty. That's pretty cool.
