Episode 112: James Holzhauer & Victoria Groce

==Description==
Viva Las Vegas! Live from the Game Show Boot Camp in Las Vegas, Nevada, it’s a brand new episode of Go Fact Yourself!
James Holzhauer is one of the all-time great “Jeopardy!” champions, racking up a 32-game win streak. It helped that he approached the game with his skills as a professional gambler. He’ll explain more about that and tell us about how he’s now banned from most casinos on the Las Vegas strip. You’ll also hear more about James’ charity work with Project 150 to help unhoused students in Las Vegas.
Victoria Groce is also a “Jeopardy!” champion and one of the only people whose trivia knowledge intimidates James. She’ll tell us about how her first day on “Jeopardy!” was part of a whirlwind of life changes that could only be fueled by tea and energy drinks. Plus we finally find where the worlds of trivia and knitting overlap
Our guests will compete to answer trivia about baseball, bargaining, and boys with violins.

===What's the Difference?===
Dealer's Choice 
====Haggling vs Bargaining ====
*from listener Caitlin Paxton from Las Vegas, NV
Haggling is a negotiation you have about a price. Bargaining might be a negotiation about the price but it can also be about anything of value to one party or the other. If you try to get more vacation time in a job negotiation, that is bargaining. 
====Choice vs Decision ====
A choice is the final option you select of the options available to you. You make a choice. A decision is the path you take to get to the choice; eliminating some options, doing a cost-benefit analysis, these are both parts of arriving at a decision.
