Oy>  there is a cat in the studio
[sees cat curl up by his ankle]
The_Millionaire>  Is that your cat?
Oy>  Not my cat---mine's in the bus, and it's staying
Mine is a gray-black tiger----this is pure white
The_Millionaire>  oh
Oy>  Although this lacks a leash---it's acting unusually cuddly, not skittish, I don't know whose cat this is
Oy>  I'm going on the PA
The_Millionaire>  ok
Oy, over PA> Attention, please! A pure white cat was found in Studio 1. It has no leash on it. If anyone owns this cat, please report to Studio 1 to claim.
[sloppy edit]
Oy>  I'm watching Wisconsin high-school hoops over satellite----amazing how much it seems like a network broadcast --The Madison ABC affiliate [WKOW] is producing it
The_Millionaire>  oh
Oy>  it seems so network-like in quality
Oy>  well, the cat is still unclaimed 
Oy>  They're having problems with the switcher---I just heard them say it's not even on 
Oy>  THE SWITCHER IS NOT WORKING!!!!!!
The_Millionaire>  I'm going to the control room. I'll be right back
Oy>  I'm going up there too
[checks plugs on switcher]
I think I might have found the problem.
Oy>  Hmm....all these BNC plugs intimidate me
[sloppy edit]
[switcher goes dead]
The_Millionaire>  I guess you can kiss the switcher goodbye.
Oy>  WHAT? YOU TRIED TO FIX IT?!
[sparks start coming out of switcher] 
The_Millionaire>  Get a fire extinguisher!!
The_Millionaire>  No, I didn't try to fix it. It just started doing that. I don't know why.
Oy>  THAT WAS A $100,000 SWITCHER!!!!!!
The_Millionaire>  We have a back up switcher, but it'll take about 30 minutes to an hour to hook it up, providing that the outlets for all of the wires aren't damaged.
Oy>  [goes into control room]...WAIT! That was only our old switcher they brought over from the old place! SOMEONE GET THE NEW SWITCHER ONLINE!
[electrician looks at box]
The_Millionaire>  >> Electrician:  Yikes, this switcher was a ticking bomb ready to explode.
Oy>  Anyway, the old one was just a CDL model that was probably 30 yrs old....we have a new Grass Valley model [Ed. Note: The new switcher is the same model currently being used by Studio 33]
The_Millionaire>  >> Electrician:  The reason why the wires were loose was because the cords were melting from being too hot. This was going to happen anyway. Nothing you could do.
The_Millionaire>  >> Electrician:  The only fix to that problem was to get a new switcher.
Oy>  I wonder why they even brought that old beast over anyway! And, as I said, we have a new one over in Studio 2
The_Millionaire>  Executive order!!! Move the Weekly Games to Studio 2!!!
Oy>  Also, Krazy Dan over from the GSN boards is running the graphics---he owns a Chyron, did you know that?
The_Millionaire>  no, I didn't
Oy>  He bought 2 off eBay----one for his dad, one for him----they're much older than what we have here
The_Millionaire>  oh
Oy>  Well, as I said, the old switcher was around 30 years old, and made by CDL
The_Millionaire>  yeah
Oy>  that stands for Central Dynamics Laboratory, I believe
[sloppy edit]
Oy>  This Perfect Pancake is lame---doesn't cook evenly, plastic handle would probably warp, hinge would break off, etc.,
[sloppy edit]
Oy>  [looking at pictures of old equipment as usual]
The_Millionaire>  Will, we're in Studio 2----that old piece of junk video switcher from the old studio blew
Stage Manager> This is the Weekly Games, production 31502, and the switcher WORKS, and it’s take 1!
[clips from past PYL on TGSF competition]
>> John: Today, these 2 players are after high stakes! But they'll have to avoid the Whammy as they play the most exciting game of their lives! From TGSF Studio Center, it's time to "Press Your Luck"! And here is our host, the star of "Press Your Luck” Robert Searcy!

The_Millionaire>  Let's introduce our 2 contestants.
The_Millionaire>  Oy, tell us about the technical difficulties and about yourself.
Oy>  Well, our old video switcher went dead and blew, so we had to bring the show into Studio 2. And I'm Oy, from Wisconsin, and I just like being here every week to play the games!
The_Millionaire>  Ok.
The_Millionaire>  I witnessed the switcher blow, too.
[laughs from audience]
The_Millionaire>  [in a Jim Peck voice (as in that famous Big Showdown episode)]  Yeah, you people would applaud if it blew up in my face.  Then there would be a very quick chorus of "Amazing Grace".  And then lots of fire extinguishers and sprinklers going off.
[more laughs from audience]
The_Millionaire>  Will, tell us a little about yourself.
Will>  Hello, I'm Will. I'm a current guest here at PYL and I seem to lose a lot. Maybe my luck will change tonight.
The_Millionaire>  I hope so too. I wish both of you good luck.
