Run In Twice Disagreement?

Ok so I'm not sure I totally understand...if there is a disagreement and neither one will budge, then you only run it once?

Man do you guys watch poker on TV....I mean really what a silly question,Variance is the reason they do it and its always wise to do such a thing when your playing with large amounts of money,I`ve seen it done 4 times and the guy behind won it 3 times ( this happened with Phil Helmuth on tv).Its only in cash games and when large amounts are in play its only wise to try and make the best of it.
You wont see it in small stakes,but in large stakes it happens all the time,some players like Greenstien only run it once,but Doyle will let you pick how many times you want and will usually always agree,its a good thing not a bad thing!

So I'm sure people have seen poker TV shows like "The Big Game" and "High Stakes Poker". One of the things I've noticed about these types of shows is when one person goes all in and somebody else calls, they immediately start asking "How many times do you want to run it?"
...For those of you who don't know, since it's not like the WSOP tournament play, they can choose to put 2 separate flops, turns, and rivers down, with the pot being split into 2 halves, with each mini-pot going to the winner of each separate hand. I have seen people run it up to as many as 4 times...
My question is...on TV, the pros always seem to agree how many times they want to run it. What would happen if they didn't? Like, one person was adamant about running it 3 times, and the other person was adamant about running it once? What would happen?
The reason I ask this is because I was considering adding this as a feature to my home game, and I can definitely see a couple of stubborn people arguing for minutes about how many times they want to run it.
