Mike: "About 75%, buddy." Charles: "OK. Thanks, Mike." Mike: "Yep." (Hang up with 3 second left) Charles still isn't completely sure. In fact, he's going to go against him. Charles picks B... Reege: "So your final answer then is Score a touchdown." Charles: "I... don't know." (laughs) That's why they ask it! Now Charles is going back to his brother-in-law's guess. Charles picks C... And THAT'S his final answer.

Then moved away from it...
