they're making him punt all weird-like cause their returner is good

make a joke about throwing trash

avocados FROM MEX-EE-CO

1) Why does a regulated monopoly have trade secrets? No one can compete with them by definition...

2) Why would take all these secrets, put them in one book, and label them "Georgia Power Trade Secrets."

Yes

best i can tell they're playing the monopoly men

split screen!

4) people were really into grand father clocks in the 70s and 80s. they're pretty good at guessing their price as well.

3) bob barker has no time for suspense or intrigue in the early days. from watching that wheel spin 100s of times he knows where it's going to land probably 10 seconds before it stops spinning and he'll let contestants know if they're hooped or not as soon as he knows as well. kinda anti-climatic

2) perhaps I'm imagining it, but you can see the gradual increase in contestant strategy as price is right game theory becomes more prominent. early years almost no one bids "$1" or a single dollar above another contestant... they're all over the place

1) playing along is now doubly hard triangulating both 50 years of inflation and 50 years of productivity/efficiency gains.

televisions... much cheaper in nominal terms today + obviously better

cook ware... not so much

Solid logical argument
