00:08Wheel of Fortune!
00:12Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show.
00:16That's Saint Jack and Betta White.
00:19Let's hurry out here. We got a show to do.
00:21Okay.
00:22Let's put on a show.
00:25Hey, everybody, thank you, Jim.
00:27See you later.
00:28See ya.
00:31Well, hello, boys and girls.
00:32Good to see you all.
00:33Get ready.
00:34Let's give away some money here.
00:35$1,000 in our first toss-up.
00:37The category is person.
00:39Vanna, you ready?
00:40Yep, she is.
00:41Here we go.
00:50Val.
00:51Inspirational speaker.
00:52Yeah, that's it.
00:54That's nice.
00:56A nice shot.
00:57That's got to make you feel good to start off like that.
00:59That's inspiring.
01:00Val, a good tourney is here from Denver.
01:02Married?
01:03I am to my hilarious husband, Mason.
01:06And I can prove he's hilarious because he did improv, right?
01:09Yes, we met doing improv in college.
01:11And we've done it in Denver, Kansas City.
01:13We've done it for the ten years we've been married.
01:15And we have a little girl named Elowen.
01:17You even improvise?
01:18She's going to join the group, yeah.
01:20Okay, good.
01:21Good.
01:22Anything else you'd like to tell America about you?
01:24Well, speaking of funny things with my husband,
01:26we also did a pirate sunset cruise.
01:28That's how we got engaged.
01:29So on the way back home, we thought,
01:31what if we had a pirate wedding?
01:33And we told our parents that when we got home.
01:35And we met with a lot of blank faces.
01:37But we did it.
01:38We had swords, helm wheels, everything at the wedding.
01:41The wedding party had a parrot on their shoulders?
01:43No parrots.
01:44No parrots.
01:45No live animals.
01:46That's happy to hear, I think.
01:48Hi, Tanae.
01:49Hi, Pat.
01:50Tanae Roland is from Detroit.
01:51Glad you could be here.
01:52A chaplain.
01:53Tell us more about that.
01:54Yes, sir.
01:55I am a professional chaplain.
01:56And I'm also the founder of Unlimited Ministries.
01:59I work for a hospice as well in our local community.
02:02And you want to brag about your son, right?
02:04Yes.
02:05I have a 20-year-old son named JD.
02:07And he is in his senior year at the University of Alabama.
02:10Road tie.
02:11And so we are excited to have a college graduate soon.
02:14And you seem like such a nice lady.
02:16And it's a pleasure to meet you.
02:18But you like gangster novels.
02:20I do, Pat.
02:21You know, what can I say?
02:22The preacher that reads gangster novels.
02:24Go figure.
02:26Put that on your license plate.
02:27Yes, sir.
02:28Good to have you along.
02:29Joshua, how are you doing?
02:30Well, Pat, you?
02:31Good.

09:02There is an E.
09:03Yes.
09:08Oh, man.
09:09Well, there goes a smile for now.
09:12I'm sorry.
09:13Man.
09:14Joshua, your turn.
09:22That was more of a grimace, not a smile.
09:25So let's have a letter.
09:27R.
09:28Has anyone ever been happy to land on the express?
09:31There's no R.
09:32I'm sorry.
09:33Val, it's your turn.
09:39650.
09:40Y.
09:41No, no Y.
09:42Today, back to you.
09:43Let's get some more money back.
09:44All right.
09:50900.
09:51G.
09:52Yes, there is a G.
09:53You got 900 back.
09:57Had I liked to buy a bow?

10:00Yes, there are two of them.
10:07I'd like to buy another bow.
10:09U.
10:10Uh-huh.
10:11That's just the one.
10:12But that's it.
10:13All the bottles are gone.
10:14You picked the right one.
10:15So it's spin or solve here.
10:20Oh, don't do this again.
10:22Don't do that.
10:23Hey, I am so sorry.
10:25Joshua, it's your turn.
10:27I'll spin that wheel.
10:28All right.
10:31I want to see him grimace again.
10:33There you go.
10:37Let's have a letter.
10:40L.
10:41No, L.
10:42Val, your turn.
10:47Val, I think the wheel's got you, too.
10:50And A knows how that feels.
10:52And she's going to spin if she wants to.
10:54All right, come on.
11:00All right, let's have a letter.
11:02C.
11:03Yeah, there's C.
11:04Pick up that wild card.
11:06And you have $500.
11:08Next.
11:11I'm going to solve.
11:12I can't say I'll blame you.
11:14Go ahead.
11:15A captivating sunset.
11:17There you go.
11:21Because if you had opted not to solve and you had spun again
11:24and you landed on bankrupt, you wouldn't be going to Aruba.
11:32Today, enjoy those warm trade winds
11:34as you experience a relaxing getaway in the Caribbean
11:36at the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort, Spa, and Casino.
11:39Set along miles of soft white sand and turquoise waters.

11:53FlightGuru.com.
11:55$11,500.
11:59Which means that today has $12,000,
12:04which is exactly how much Val has at this point.
12:06All right.
12:07It could get interesting.
12:08Joshua not out of it yet
12:09because we couldn't give away $10,000 in the next round.
12:12If he gets all three toss-ups, we would have a three-way tie.
12:15We'll be back.
12:26Closed captioning is brought to you by the following.
12:29We're going to do our triple toss-up now.
12:31The following is the category for all three of these puzzles.
12:35Here's number one.
12:43And who do we have here?
12:44Val?
12:45Baseball glove.
12:46No.
12:47Anybody else?
12:53And it's Tanay.
12:56All right.
12:57Joshua, ring in before everything.
12:58Okay.
12:59Baseball score.
13:00There we go.
13:03It took a while, but we got there.
13:04She's been running for the $10,000.
13:06Here's number two.
13:16Joshua.
13:17Basketball score.
13:18Yeah, that's it.
13:20He gets his third one.
13:21He's got $10,000, and we have three people with $12,000.
13:25We'll see what happens.
13:31Oh, Val.
13:32Credit score.
13:33Yeah.
13:34Very nice.
13:35Very nice.
13:36You were going about the same time.
13:37Oh, that was close.
13:38Well, Val has the lead now.
13:39There's a big solve for you.
13:40She has $14,000.
13:41Have a good match.
13:42$14,000, $12,000, $6,000.
13:43Everybody's got a lot of money.
13:44What are you doing is the category for this next round.
13:45And, Val, you have control of the wheel.
13:46Give it a final spin for us.
13:47We'll add $1,000 to whatever you land on.
13:48All right.
13:49All right.
13:50All right.
13:51All right.
13:52All right.

14:02Congratulations.
14:03You've got $1,000.
14:04You land on.
14:05So a countenance would be worth $1,650.
14:06Again, what are you doing to category?
14:07We'll start with you, Val.
14:08A letter, please.
14:09N.

17:32Okay, let's see what we get here.
17:34Audience, no help from you, please.
17:36She must do this on her own.
17:39Well, it looks challenging to me,
17:40but she's been a good player.
17:42Let's see what happens.
17:43It's a phrase.
17:44You have 10 seconds to try to talk it out.
17:46Good luck.
17:47Make it quick.
17:48Can you make it quicker?

18:20I take my leave from you.
18:28Do you miss Wheel when it's not on?
18:30WheelOfFortune.com is all wheel all the time.
18:34We talked a lot about pirates tonight.
18:35Do you know anything about pirates?
18:36They play baseball in Pittsburgh.
18:37That's good.
18:38I like that.
18:39Very, very nice.
18:40You know, it's funny.
18:41We treat pirates, you know, we joke about them
18:42and they have parties and they're doing,
18:43but they were really not nice.
18:45They robbed and looted and jaywalked and everything.
18:47They were not good.
18:51I don't want pirates to be writing us.
18:53I'm sorry.
18:54You're not, some of you are really nice.
18:55We'll see you next time.
18:57Goodbye.
18:58I feel bad now.
18:58I didn't mean to.
18:59Hey, Wheel Watchers.
