If there's one thing we love, it's game show scandals! And this week we hear about a very successful contestant on the American game show Press Your Luck. But WAS he just lucky, or was there more to it?
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 09:49 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
