He'd better shave then. I think the fact it's exclusive to Best Buy means it is ineligible for the Billboard charts. I could be wrong, however.

And, besides, even if it does, that doesn't mean shit anymore. It's not like the early '90s when debuting at #1 meant you'd sold well over a million copies. There are albums debuting #1 selling far fewer than 100K copies now. The CD is dead.

Free Dr. Pepper for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's my favorite and thanks to GnR everyone gets one free. (But it's only for 24 hours.)

I thought the bet was something about the release date. If the record wasn't released by March 6, 2007 (or whatever the date was) Dave would do... Something.

I am so tired of any bet that involves Fezzy anymore - all he does is put up dinner at Florio's if he loses... this is of no consequence to a man with money.

Dave, on the other hand, consistently puts something on the line - jesus, the guy got his fucking ass branded for Christ's sake!

SHOOT THAT SHIT TO THE SKY, DAVE!

The Florio bets have NO payoff for the show. They go out to dinner on Earl or Fez big deal. Great for them but nothing the listeners can care about. Dave doing something self destructive( ichiban) is much more fun and entertaining.Plus with so many bets going on at once its a bunch of non issues

No, they still count...although I don't believe Best Buy reports to Soundscan anymore. In the past, their sales have been estimated based on the numbers sold elsewhere. With BB having the exclusive, I'm not sure how they're going to get the figures.

I don't mind the Florio bets because usually after they go, Ron has a few good stories for the air.

Dave's problem is he never thinks enough to get something if he wins

Isn't Dr. Pepper different in Texas than the rest of the country? Something about the formula being different + using sugar over HFCS?

I was disapointed. Axel's voice is shot. If they ever do a reunion tour though, I'll be there.

Why doesn't anyone on the show who bets understand that you're supposed to get something if you win the bet.

Yep, it's only available in select places but there are very few licensed places that can sell/bottle it witn cane sugar. I guess they want you to come here or order it off their website. I've been meaning to go to the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, just haven't gotten there yet.
