01:51That's good.
01:52You are from a famous family?
01:53You have relatives there?
01:54Well, it's not an immediate family, but John Wayne is a distant cousin somewhere down the line.
01:58Really?
01:59Yeah.
02:00I mean, turn your profile a little bit.
02:01What do you think, folks?
02:02Is it Duke?

08:59All right.
09:00All right.
09:01All right, Susan.
09:02That's one for me.
09:03Big deal.
09:04According to a recent study, out of every five American families, how many have multiple
09:05wage earners?
09:06Joe?
09:07Two.
09:08Is it two, one, or three?
09:09Susan?
09:10Two.
09:11Two.
09:12What do you think, Bob?
09:13I'll say two.
09:14Of every five American families, two have more than one wage earner.
09:15Susan goes for two.
09:16Joe to four.
09:17And Bob to five.
09:18All right.
09:19All right.
09:20All right.
09:21All right.
09:22All right.
09:23All right.
09:24All right.
09:25All right.
09:26All right.
09:27All right.
09:28All right.
09:29All right.
09:30All right.

09:55All right.
09:56All right.
09:57All right.
09:58All right.
09:59All right.
10:00And I just so happen to have a tie-breaker question.
10:03Here it comes.
10:04According to its ads, what airline claims it is ready when you are?
10:09Bob?
10:10Delta.
10:11Is it Delta, United, or American, Susan?
10:13American.
10:15What do you think, Joe?
10:16Delta.
10:17We're ready when you are, say the folks at Delta Airlines.
10:20Susan stays at five, Joe goes to six, and Bob goes to eight.
10:23And we're talking big bucks when we come back after these words.
10:26Stay with us.
10:27We'll be right back to play with this.
10:29-♪♪♪
10:37-♪♪♪
10:48-♪♪♪
10:53All right.
10:54Gonna win some money?
10:56This is the money.
10:57You know we give away more money on this show every day
10:59than any other show on television.
11:01Did you know that?
11:02I believe it. I believe it. I believe it.
11:03You know that?
11:04I believe it.
11:05That's really true.
11:06And if you're so happy and you like us so much,
11:08hey, tell a friend, you know what I mean?
11:10Sure.
11:11With that plug, we'll now move on.
11:12$2,500 means, Susan, you'll play last.
11:14You earned it.
11:15And Bob, with $650, you will play first.

18:25All right, Susan, you're leaving us with $7,500 in cash.
18:28Congratulations to you.
18:30Susan, I have to ask you, what was your strategy when you passed the spin?
18:34There was no strategy. I just didn't think about it.
18:37Ah, I see.
18:38And I think I may die for this.
18:42Well, it's a game. I hope everybody remembers that.
18:45But good luck with the money, Susan.
18:46Joe, we have some nice prizes for you.
18:49None of them are sharp instruments, however.
18:53I have... Wait a minute. Before we go, I gotta tell you that I'm a little upset
18:57because I thought I was hosting the show.

19:23I'm in shape.
19:25I'd love to trade off. You know what I mean?
19:27You like doing Capital?
19:28That's a lot of fun.
19:29I actually... I watch your show.
19:32I would watch Capital, but I get all steamed up when I watch it.
19:34You know?
19:35You get steamed up standing out here.
19:38Should we do a poem? You're bigger than that. You probably didn't know that, huh, Todd?
19:41You wanna get on your knees?
19:43Todd.
19:44No.
19:45Don't leave, Todd. Wait a minute, Todd.
19:47This is where I leave.
19:48No, no. You gotta do the poem with me, Todd.
