00:00Turn the cards and hold on tight, the money is yours if you're calling right on Cardshark.
00:20And here's the host of Cardshark, Jim Perry.
00:26Thank you, Jim.
00:27Hello there, welcome to Cardshark.
00:30You're very kind, thank you.
00:34Thank you so much.
00:36And a special thanks to Kay Ziders of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who sent out that opening poem.
00:41Thank you, Kay.
00:42And now let's get to the cards.
00:46Ladies, if you will, load in the cards and you can see we have a game in progress with these card charts.
00:53Our champion, Wendy Boschma.
00:55Hi, Wendy.
00:55Good to see you.
00:57You're doing very well.
00:58Oh, I've been lucky so far.
01:00Yes, and you've been lucky to the tune right now of $9,100 in cash.
01:06Isn't that nice?
01:08They told me that you have a good use for that money.
01:10Yes, it'll pay off my husband's law school.
01:13Isn't that nice?
01:13You're bailing him out of law school.
01:15I'll just bail him right out.
01:16Now he can support you for a while, right?
01:18That's right, that's right.
01:19Good to have you back, Wendy.
01:21And our challenger, Fran Brock.
01:22Hi, Fran.
01:23Hi.
01:23Why don't you remind us again about yourself?
01:25Well, I'm Frances Brock, and I live in San Dimas, and after 23 years of running my own business, I retired and I'm doing other things.
01:32And one of the most important things is working with American Cancer Society is on the Board of Directors.
01:37What was your business, Fran?
01:39Well, I was a distributor for a nationwide party plan organization, Direct Sales, and it was just a marvelous experience.
01:47You've been a busy lady, and you're staying busy.
01:49Oh, yes.
01:49Uh-huh.
01:50Raise some children.
01:50Good to have you both back.
01:51Good luck to both of you.
01:53Each player has a deck of 52 playing cards.
01:55They're shuffled.
01:56The players cut the cards before we go in the air.
01:58Wendy, the champion, plays the upper cards, the red cards.
02:00Fran, the challenger, the lower cards, the blue cards.
02:02Before you can begin to call a high-low on the cards, you must win a high-low toss-up question.
02:06Now, we play the best two out of three, and as we left off, Wendy has game one, and right here in game two, with each player needing two cards, we left off at sudden death.
02:15Someone has to win with this first play of the cards.
02:18And, Fran, you need this game to tie.
02:19Wendy could wrap it up and go to the money cards if she gets it.
02:23Fran, we asked 100 United States congressmen in Washington, D.C., have you ever kissed a baby during a political campaign?
02:32How many congressmen said, yes, they have?
02:36Well, my personal opinion is that this is kind of a tired joke.
02:41I don't think they kiss that many babies, but I think they're in their thinking, and I would say 61.
02:4961 United States congressmen have kissed a baby during a political campaign.
02:54I think a few more than that have kissed babies.
02:57I say higher.
02:58You don't think it's a cliché at all.
03:00You think it really happens.
03:01Sure.
03:01Let's find out.
03:02Wendy, if it is higher, you'll go to the board first.
03:04If not, it'll be Fran.
03:06The actual number of congressmen who have kissed a baby during a political campaign is 74.
03:11It's higher, Wendy.
03:13And, Wendy, that gives you that all-important control of the board.
03:16You need two cards.
03:18Fran needs two.
03:18Your decision.
03:19Play it or pass it.
03:20I'll play it.
03:21You're going to play it yourself.
03:22You're going to play it with the seven.
03:23You have the right to change it.
03:24Get rid of it, please.
03:26Big change for you, then.
03:27You must play this one.
03:28It is a four.
03:30Oh, that's good.
03:31You get them both.
03:32You've won the match.
03:33One mistake, and Fran ties it up.
03:35Higher.
03:35Higher than a four.
03:37Yes, for the king.
03:38Oh, I can't believe it.
03:39Liar.
03:40For the championship, more than a king.
03:42And she...
03:43Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:46You picked the right time to play it yourself, Wendy.
03:49Wow.
03:50Fran, thank you for joining us.
03:52Good luck with the work with the Cats of Society.
03:54Fran Brock.
03:54Thank you, Fran.
03:55We have some nice parties just for you.
03:56Bye-bye.
03:57Wendy, come on down here.
03:59You continue that good play.
04:01Woo!
04:02Wendy's going to try to add to the money with the money cards right after this.
04:07I think it's going to pass you.
04:09Oh!
04:14Back with our champion, Wendy Bosma.
04:16Another $200 in a game.
04:17You have $9,200.
04:19Oh, thank you so much.
04:20This is great.
04:21There's a lot more of it over there with the money cards, right?
04:23Yeah, I'm ready to try.
04:24Let's do it.
04:25Let's open the board and get to the money cards.
04:26Come on, Wendy.
04:27We're with you.
04:29You've taken care of your husband.
04:31Now let's make some money and take care of yourself.
04:33Okay.
04:33You got $200 in the last game, yours to keep.
04:35Brand new deck of cards and new money to play with.
04:38And you're going to bet it starting on the bottom line with the $200 we give you in these three cards.
04:42Move up to the second level.
04:43We'll give you another $200 of betting money and three more cards.
04:46Minimum bets, as always, remember, are $50 until you get to the top card, the big bet, where you must bet at least half the money.
04:53Here's $200, Wendy.
04:54As in the game, you have a choice of two base cards on the bottom level.
04:57Remember, you can change your base card when you move up to the second level.
05:00And you can change it again before you make the big bet.
05:02You're starting with a five.
05:05Do you want to play it or change it?
05:07Oh, no, I'll play it.
05:08I like that.
05:08That's okay.
05:09And I'll bet $50 higher.
05:11Take a $50 bet higher than a five.
05:14No, it's a three.
05:16But a good trade for $50 to get a good card like a three.
05:19All of it higher.
05:22$150 higher than a three.
05:25Oh!
05:27Oh, wow, the odds were in your favor.
05:29But you're not out of it, because that two is going to be moved up here, where we give you the other $200 of betting money.
05:35Wendy, you're back in it.
05:36There are still four cards to go.
05:37All of it higher.
05:39$200 higher than a two.
05:41Yes, with a ten.
05:42Now we're moving.
05:43I remember you like tens.
05:45I'm not so sure about tens anymore.
05:48$50 lower.
05:50$50 bet lower than a ten.
05:52It is another ten.
05:54Terrific.
05:54$450.
05:55$450.
05:57All of it higher.
05:58$450 higher than a two.
06:02Yes, for the five.
06:03$900 and up goes the five.
06:06Do you want to play that for the big bet or change it?
06:08Change it.
06:09This will be a big change.
06:11You've got $900 there, and this is the card.
06:14A four.
06:15Better.
06:15Better card.
06:16You must bet at least $450, Wendy.
06:18You can bet more.
06:19You have $900 and a four.
06:20What's your big bet?
06:21All of it higher.
06:23You're going to go all or nothing on a four.
06:25All of it.
06:27Nothing or $1,800.
06:30If this is higher than a four.
06:32It is $1,900.
06:37Oh, Wendy, way to go.
06:39Come on, Daddy.
06:40That's too terrific.
06:41Do you know what your ratings are now?
06:45$11,000.
06:47Wendy will defend the title right after this commercial break.
07:02Back with our champion, Wendy.
07:05Now, you've made the money to get your husband out of law school.
07:08Now, you've got a little for yourself.
07:09What's the first thing you're going to do for yourself?
07:11Maybe take a little trip.
07:13Oh, that would be nice.
07:13Good.
07:14Well, someone's going to come out trying to stop you now, Wendy.
07:17She's ready.
07:18Let's load in the cards with two brand-new decks of cards
07:20and meet our next challenger on card charts.
07:23Ken Loesch.
07:24Hello, Ken.
07:24Welcome.
07:26Good to have you here.
07:28Won't you tell us about yourself?
07:30Well, my name is Ken Loesch.
07:31I'm from Memphis, Tennessee.
07:33And I came to California on a vacation, and I just never made it back.
07:36And you stay?
07:37Yes, I'll stay.
07:38You're enjoying it.
07:38I'm living in Marina del Rey, and I'm an advertising agent.
07:42Good.
07:42Now, we have some single ladies in the audience.
07:46And they twisted my arm, and I have to ask you, are you married or single?
07:51I feel like John Travolta.
07:53I'm single.
07:54You're single.
07:56Okay.
07:59This is not the dating game.
08:00Now, you realize.
08:01Ken, good luck in the match.
08:03Good luck to both of you.
08:04Ken, you'll play the lower cards, the blue cards.
08:06Wendy, the upper cards, the red cards.
08:07And we start with a question to you, Wendy.
08:09We found 100 house husbands.
08:12These are all men who stay home and take care of the house and kids while their wife works.
08:17And we ask them, do you have dishpan hands?
08:22How many house husbands said, yes, they have dishpan hands?
08:26Not that many.
08:28They don't get dishpan hands.
08:30Well, they're taking care of the house.
08:3227.
08:3327 house husbands have dishpan hands, Ken.
08:37I think if you're doing the work, you've probably got the dishpan hands.
08:40So, I'll say it's going to be a little higher.
08:42You say higher.
08:42The actual number of house husbands who have dishpan hands is 20, not higher.
08:49Wendy, you get the first control of the board.
08:52And I must say, I do want to thank the house husbands for writing in.
08:55And we do thank everyone who takes part in the polls.
08:57That's really nice that people are part of the show.
08:59We appreciate that.
09:00Wendy, you're starting off with a 10.
09:02Do you want it?
09:03Oh, no, 10s.
09:04Okay, I will keep it.
09:06And go lower.
09:07Lower than a 10.
09:09No, it's a queen.
09:10The 10s fail Wendy again, but it's a break for Ken, who'll play a king.
09:15All right.
09:16Thanks, Jim.
09:17I got to go a little lower.
09:18Lower than a king.
09:20Yes, with a three.
09:21You're going to go higher.
09:22Higher than a three.
09:24An ace.
09:26Going to go lower.
09:27Going to risk it again.
09:28Lower.
09:29A queen.
09:30Still a good card.
09:31I'll say lower one more time.
09:33All or nothing.
09:34You'll lose them all, or you've got the first game of the match.
09:36If this is lower, and an ace.
09:38Four great cards in the Challenger League.
09:40Wow.
09:42Let's set up for game two, Janice, if you will.
09:45Well, that time, the 10 did you in, Wendy.
09:48Oh, yes.
09:49Great break for the Challenger.
09:50Ken, you've got the first game in $100 in the same two decks of cards Janice is dealing
09:54out.
09:54And a question to you, Ken.
09:56We asked 100 women who support the women's liberation movement.
09:59Have you ever voted for a candidate you knew nothing about just because she was a woman?
10:06How many women's livers said they did vote for a candidate because she was a woman?
10:12I don't know.
10:13I think the women's livers are a little too smart for something like that.
10:16I think they're really concerned, so I'll say that number's going to be pretty low.
10:2122.
10:2222 have voted just for a woman because she was a woman.
10:25No matter how concerned they are, they want women in office.
10:27I think it's higher.
10:28Just because they want the women in office?
10:30I think they want women in office.
10:31All right, let's see if your logic is right, Wendy.
10:33The actual number of women's livers who have voted for a candidate just because she was
10:37a woman is 19.
10:39It is not higher.
10:40You got it, Ken.
10:43Good thinking on Ken's part, and he gets a two again.
10:46A good card.
10:48You got to go higher.
10:49Higher than a two.
10:50Yes, a five.
10:51I'll try it.
10:54I'll go higher.
10:55Risking it higher than a five.
10:57It is an ace.
10:59Got to go lower.
11:00Lower than an ace.
11:01A six.
11:02I'll freeze right there.
11:04I'll freeze.
11:04Needing just one card for the championship, and can you cut those cards before we went on
11:09the air?
11:09You must have given them a heck of a cut.
11:11He needs one for the championship.
11:12Wendy, we asked 100 bachelors.
11:15Women are always accused of playing hard to get, but do you ever play hard to get?
11:20How many bachelors said they do play hard to get?
11:24For sure.
11:24It's cool to play hard to get.
11:26I think probably 47.
11:28I was so easy when I was a bachelor.
11:31Oh.
11:31You said 47.
11:33Ken, higher or lower?
11:35I played hard to get, so I got to say it's going to be a little higher.
11:38Higher than that.
11:39The actual number of bachelors who said they play hard to get is 73.
11:44It's higher, Ken.
11:46Wow.
11:47Do you want that six?
11:48I'm going to change that card, Jim.
11:50Big change for Ken, changing the six to a king.
11:54Lower.
11:55Lower than a king for the championship, and it is we have a new champion.
12:00Well done, Ken.
12:02Wendy, you're leaving us with $11,000.
12:05It's been a super steak, and you're a nice guest.
12:07Thank you, Wendy.
12:09Wendy Bosma.
12:10Ken, come on down here.
12:12Well, you've made the girls happy so far, Ken.
12:15I hope so.
12:16Let's see if he can win some money right after we take time out for this commercial break.
12:20Good job.
12:24Back with our champion, Ken Loesch.
12:31Everybody's with you.
12:32I hope so.
12:33I hope he'll give you good cards.
12:35We're going to open the board and get to the money cards right now, Ken.
12:38Come on up here.
12:40And as you know, you've got $200 in the game.
12:43Yours to keep.
12:44Brand new deck of cards, all shuffled and cut.
12:46Janice will deal them out if you will.
12:48And as you know, there are seven cards.
12:50And if you went double, double, double all the way up, there are $28,800 in cash up there.
12:56And it's been done.
12:57It has been done, Ken.
12:58Maybe you can do it again.
12:59Good luck.
13:00Remember the big bet?
13:00You must bet at least half the money.
13:02Here's $200.
13:04And on the bottom line, we'll start you off with a choice of base cards.
13:07And you start with a 10.
13:10Do you want it?
13:10Or do you want to change it?
13:11I think I'll change that card, Jim.
13:13You must play this one.
13:14I hope it's a good change for you, Ken.
13:16And oh, right up the middle with an 8.
13:18I'm going to bet $50 that it's higher.
13:21Taking the minimum bet, $50.
13:22Higher than an 8.
13:24And he's right with a queen.
13:25$250.
13:27I'm going to bet the whole thing that it's lower.
13:30Ooh, betting it all on a queen.
13:32Lower than a queen for $250.
13:35Yes!
13:35With a 5.
13:36Doubling it to $500.
13:40I'll bet $100 that it's higher.
13:43$100.
13:44Higher than a 5.
13:46No, it's a 3.
13:46But you didn't lose much.
13:48You got a good card out of it.
13:49Up goes the 3.
13:50We'll give you the other $200 of betting money.
13:52You've got $600 and a 3, Ken.
13:55You've got to bet $500.
13:57Then it's higher.
13:58Big bet, $500.
14:00Higher than a 3.
14:01Yes!
14:01With an 8.
14:02Now you hit the four figures.
14:04$1,100.
14:04And you're looking smack dab in the middle.
14:06I don't like those 8s.
14:07I'll say $100.
14:09Then it's higher.
14:11$100.
14:12Higher than an 8.
14:13Yes!
14:14With an ace and $1,200 to play with.
14:17I've got to take $1,000, Jim.
14:20Then it's lower.
14:21$1,000.
14:22Holding back $200 on an ace.
14:24Let's see if it works out for you.
14:26$1,000 lower than an ace.
14:27It is a 10.
14:29$2,200.
14:30And up goes the 10.
14:31But remember, you can change it if you'd like.
14:34Better change that card, Jim.
14:35This is a big change because you have $2,200.
14:39And changing the 10 to a 4.
14:42Good change.
14:43You must bet at least $1,100, Ken.
14:44You can bet more.
14:46You've got $2,200 and a 4.
14:47I'll bet $1,200 that it's higher.
14:50$1,200.
14:52Higher than a 4.
14:55No!
14:57But this time you held back beautifully and wound up not too bad with $1,000, Ken.
15:03That was tough to get that double there.
15:04Come on down here.
15:07That was tough to get that.
15:08But still, with $1,000 and $200 in a game, you've got $1,200 and you're still here.
15:12$1,200 is a lot of money.
15:14That's true.
15:14Let's never forget that.
15:16We'll meet a new challenger right after this commercial message.
15:26Back with our champion.
15:28And, Ken, I was wondering why you held back on the ace.
15:30But actually, since you lost in the top, it didn't cost you anymore.
15:33You were going to hold back $1,000 anyway.
15:34I was going to hold back $1,000 anyway, so I stayed pretty much the same, I guess.
15:38Yeah, we can never complain about $1,200, would you?
15:41Okay, Ken.
15:42Can't sit on the laurels now.
15:44Got to defend the title.
15:45Two brand new decks of cards and a new challenger on card charts.
15:49Joy Lottie.
15:50Hi, Joy.
15:51How are you, Jim?
15:52Good.
15:52How about you?
15:53I'm fine.
15:54Why don't you tell us about yourself?
15:55My name is Joy Lottie.
15:57I'm a teacher, unemployed at the moment.
16:00I'm from South Bend, Indiana, originally from South Bend, and I live in Los Angeles now.
16:05I have a 10-month-old baby, and I had my baby in my doctor's office.
16:09Oh.
16:10It was planned.
16:11Oh, it wasn't that you couldn't get to the hospital?
16:13No, no.
16:13It was planned, and I came home two hours after the baby was born.
16:17Really?
16:18Correct.
16:18Why did you decide that?
16:19Well, it was completely natural, and my baby was never separated from me.
16:24Oh.
16:24In the hospital, they take them to the nursery.
16:26Yeah, and you just wanted to stay with the baby?
16:27I wanted to stay.
16:28My husband was there.
16:29He cut the cord, and he did all that.
16:30He did what?
16:32He cut the cord.
16:33It was planned.
16:34We had classes.
16:34Your husband?
16:35Oh.
16:36Yes.
16:37No, I couldn't.
16:37But you recommend it, though, huh?
16:38Oh, it's beautiful.
16:40It is beautiful.
16:40Good.
16:41Nice to have you here with us, Joy.
16:42I'm glad to be here.
16:43You'll play the lower cards, the blue cards.
16:45Ken, the upper cards, the red cards.
16:46Question to you, Ken.
16:48We took a confidential survey of 100 women who have dated a married man and asked them,
16:54when you first started dating your man, did he lie and tell you he was really single?
17:00How many women said he did lie?
17:05I don't know.
17:06I think he's probably, I think they would probably lie over something like that.
17:09I think the number's going to be pretty high.
17:11I'll say 74.
17:1374 said the man lied.
17:16Um, that's, I think so, but I think if the man really liked the woman, he would lie,
17:21but I don't think it's going to be that high.
17:23I think it's going to be just a touch lower.
17:25A little lower.
17:25Just a little lower, right.
17:27The actual number of women who said the married man they dated had lied and told them he was
17:31single is 27.
17:34Very much lower, Joy.
17:37Well, talk about going into something with your eyes wide open.
17:40Joy, you're starting with a six.
17:43Oh, um, I'll keep it.
17:45I like sixes.
17:46I think I'll go higher on that six, Jim.
17:48She has a feeling about the six.
17:50Is she right?
17:50Higher?
17:51Yes, she's right.
17:52Oh, good.
17:53Lower, Jim.
17:54Lower.
17:54Lower than a king.
17:55Queen.
17:57Lower.
17:57Risking them both lower than a queen.
17:59Yes, a ten.
18:00Freeze.
18:01I'll freeze on a ten.
18:01Freezing it right there.
18:02Joy needs just one card for the first game of the match.
18:05And the next question goes to you, Joy.
18:07We asked 100 housewives, to make your kitchen look clean fast, have you ever hidden the
18:14dirty dishes?
18:15How many housewives admitted they had?
18:18Oh, I am sure many have.
18:20And nowadays, most women have dishwashers.
18:22So that's a very convenient place to hide your dishes.
18:25Oh.
18:25And I will say, um, 62.
18:2862 have hidden the dishes, Ken.
18:30My mother and my sister used to do the dishes at our house.
18:34They always used to hide the dishes.
18:35So I'm going to say it's going to be a little higher.
18:37Even higher than that.
18:38The actual number of housewives who have hidden the dirty dishes is 24.
18:43It's not higher.
18:44Joy.
18:45I don't want that ten, Jim.
18:47I have a feeling maybe they didn't think putting them in the dishwasher was hiding them.
18:51Well.
18:51You want to change that ten?
18:52Yes, I don't like tens.
18:53Big change for the challenger.
18:54Changing the ten to a five.
18:56Good card.
18:56I'll go higher, Jim.
18:57If this is higher, you've got the first game of the match.
18:59For the win, yes!
19:01Why wins game one at $100?
19:04And we will quickly set up for game two, Janice, if you will.
19:08And as Janice sets up the cards, we'll start off with the next question, which goes to Ken.
19:13Ken, we ask 100 women, if a letter from the White House addressed to your neighbor was
19:18delivered to your house by mistake from the White House, would you steam it open and read it?
19:22How many women said they would read it?
19:25Curiosity killed a cat, Jim.
19:27I'm going to say quite a few did.
19:29Um, 82.
19:3182.
19:32How many?
19:32Higher or lower, Joy?
19:33Oh, no.
19:34Uh, that's a federal offense.
19:36I think the woman would be very, very curious, but I don't think that she would do it.
19:39I think it's going to be lower.
19:40You're saying lower.
19:41The actual number of nosy women who would read the letter is four.
19:45Very much lower.
19:46Joy.
19:47And Joy, you're starting with a five.
19:50Good card.
19:50I'll keep it and go higher, Jim.
19:52Higher than a five.
19:53Yes, a seven.
19:54Freeze.
19:54I'll keep it right there.
19:55And Joy needs just three cards to become the new champion.
19:58Ken's going to make a comeback.
20:00Can he do it?
20:01On that fond note, we'll say.
20:03Find out next time on Card Shark.
20:05Bye-bye for now.
20:05Have yourself a good day.
20:06Thanks for joining us.
