00:12Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show.
00:16That's St. Jack and Vanna White.
00:19Our next victim is standing there. I don't even know her.
00:23Thank you, Jim.
00:25Thanks, everybody.
00:27Very nice.
00:28Wheeler's Park. We'll meet you back here in a minute.
00:32Hi, guys. Good to see you all.
00:34Get ready. We'll give away some money here.
00:36$1,000 for our first toss-up.
00:38The category is Place and Vanna is in hers.
00:40And here we go.
00:49Matthew.
00:50The Rural Palace.
00:51Yeah, that's it.
00:55Got $1,000.
00:56Now, this show has been on the air for 40 years,
00:58and you've been on the earth for the same amount of time.
01:0040 years. I turned 40 this month.
01:02There you go. That's what we're celebrating.
01:04What else do we know about you and your life and times, Matthew?
01:06I'm married to my supportive and fun-loving husband, Christian,
01:09and we have a baby girl named Cecilia, 21 months old.
01:12Okay, and I don't think I mentioned your last name, Matthew Capone,
01:16just for the record.
01:17And you want to mention your grandmother.
01:19Yes, I used to watch this show growing up with my grandmother, Rose.
01:22She loved the show, she loved you,
01:23and loved to see what dress Vanna was going to walk out in.
01:25There you go. All right.
01:26Well, thanks for that, and good luck tonight.
01:29Alicia, how you doing?
01:30Hello, Pat.
01:31Alicia Price from Minneapolis.
01:33Talk about your family a bit.
01:35Well, Pat, I'm blessed to be married to my trophy husband, William,
01:39for over 15 years now.
01:41Yes. Well, excuse me, not married.
01:43Together for 15 years, married for 11 and counting.
01:46We share three beautiful children together,
01:48our daughter, Sophia, and our sons, William Jr. and Johnson.
01:51And you love power tools.
01:53And I love power tools.
01:54What's your power tool of choice? What do you like?
01:56I love my impact gun, Pat.
01:59I put that impact gun in my hand, and I'm unstoppable.
02:02You ever cut down limbs with the tree?
02:04I cut down limbs.
02:05In fact, my husband and I just cleared out our backyard,
02:07and we cut down over 11 trees together.
02:10I bet the neighbors are really upset.
02:12They're all your trees.
02:13They're all our trees, but it actually added to the view,
02:16so I think they're quite pleased.
02:17That's a lovely thing.
02:19All right, well, enough about power tools.
02:20Let's move on to Laura Hansen.
02:23Hi. From Blue Springs, Missouri.
02:24What's your favorite power tool, Laura?
02:26A hammer. It's basic.
02:28That's good. That's about my speed as well.
02:30It says you have one daughter whom you love to embarrass.
02:33Yeah, so when she graduated middle school,
02:36I dressed up in a huge inflatable cow costume
02:38and showed up at her school.
02:40What?
02:41Well, that is embarrassing.
02:44She went with it, though.
02:45Wow. I'm embarrassed to hear about that.
02:47You want to mention your boyfriend and embarrass him?
02:51Um, Trent, my boyfriend,
02:53we have been together for 13 years.
02:55Does he ever dress up as an animal?
02:57No, he's pretty chill.
02:59Okay. I think we're through.
03:01Let's do another toss-up.
03:03This one is worth $2,000,

11:23Quick look at the puzzle, then we'll put Alicia to work spinning the wheel.
11:25All right.
11:34And it's $550.
11:35M.
11:36Yes.
11:37Right at the beginning.
11:41I'd like to buy a vowel.
11:42A.
11:43Sure.
11:44Two A's.
11:52That's the problem with spinning.
11:54That happens from time to time.
11:55Laura, your turn.
11:56All right.
12:02And got you two.
12:04Matthew, come on.

12:38$500.
12:39N.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Just the one, however.
12:42So we're missing one important piece of information there.
12:45I'd like to buy a vowel.
12:46Uh-huh.
12:47E.
12:48Yes.
12:49There's an E.

13:16There's no R.
13:17Alicia, you have $300.
13:19I would like to buy a vowel.
13:20OK.
13:21O.
13:22Yeah.
13:23Well, maybe that'll help you out.
13:24One O.
13:25All right.
13:26Now, you're down to $50, so it's spin or solve.
13:29I'm gonna solve, Pat.
13:30All right.
13:31Making a deposit.
13:32Here you go.
13:35Well, we're not gonna give you your crummy little $50.
13:37We'll make it $1,000.
13:39We'll draw the minimum for a round.
13:40That takes you up to $5,000.
13:41OK.
13:42And we're zipping along here.
13:43We have time for another puzzle.
13:44And here comes our next one.
13:45The category is Around the House.
13:47And, Laura, you have control of the wheel.
13:50That's how it means time runs short.
13:53The final spin.
13:56Well, at $1,000, and counting, it's worth $1,600.
13:59Again, Around the House.
14:00We start with you.

14:32You got it.
14:33Yeah.
14:34Whoa.
14:35Way to go.
14:36Well, it took you a while to get going.
14:39But when you did, you really did.
14:41And you ended up with $6,600.
14:43Thanks very much.
14:44Thank you, Pat.
14:45I am so happy to be here.
14:46Thank you, Pat.
14:47Well, I wish we had a little more for you.
14:50But we do have $1,000.
14:51And our thanks.
14:52We appreciate you picking it up.
14:53Thank you very much.

14:59You played very well.
15:00Yeah.
15:01$18,550.
15:02Good for you.
15:03And now you're going to go to the bonus round.
15:04And you're going to pick a category here to play.
15:06And that is Thing, Place, or Phrase.
15:09What do you like?
15:10Place.
15:11All right.
15:12That's your choice.
15:13You're going to live with it.
15:14We'll be back and see what happens.
15:16This brand-new Mercedes-Benz is up for grabs in the bonus round.
15:23Next.
15:24Well, I know your daughter's watching.
15:27Your boyfriend's watching.
15:28Yep.
15:29Hi, Sophia.
15:30Hi, Trent.
15:31Nice job.
15:32You have $18,550.
15:33You were playing very well.
15:35And now we're going to ask you to spin this wheel.
15:37Come on.
15:38She follows instructions.
15:43$100,000 out here somewhere.
15:46Lots of other good things.
15:48We'll find out what's here a little bit later.
15:50Come on with me, Laura.
15:52We'll stop right there.
15:54Now, you chose Place as your category.
15:56R, S, T, L, N, E.
15:58We'll start with those letters.
16:06Interesting.
16:07All right.
16:08Three more consonants, one more vowel.
16:11Hmm.
16:14H.
16:15Right.
16:16B.
16:17Yes.
16:22P.
16:23And now a vowel.
16:27U.
16:29Hmm.
16:30We'll get that called very often.
16:31We'll see how well that works out for you.
16:33Not well.
16:35That's all you're getting.
16:36But, boy, look, she's smiling.
16:38She may do it.
16:39It's a place.
16:40You have 30 seconds.
16:41Good luck.
16:42His man cave?
16:43Of course.
16:44Yes.
16:45You're not embarrassing your daughter tonight.
16:48That's for sure.
16:49And you got it.
16:50Whoo!
16:51Wow.
16:52Laura, way to go.
16:53We're giving you $40,000.
16:54Congratulations.

16:58Very nice.
16:59And we'll take a break, and, Vanna, I'll be right back.
17:30What are you doing?
17:32I'm doing the floss.
17:39Okay.
17:40Wheel of Fortune FreePlay.
17:41Now available for download on Google Play, the App Store, and Amazon.
17:45So, speaking of caves, this is true.
17:47The other night, we're at home, and Maggie was visiting us.
17:51And Maggie, our daughter, and my wife were in one room, and I was in another room.
17:57They were watching TV, and I heard this kind of scream come, and I go running in,
18:00and they're coming out with blankets over their heads, carrying the dog, screaming,
18:04and there's a bat in the room.
18:06Now, the problem with being the man of the house is you have to pretend that you know what to do with a bat.
18:11And two hours later, the bat left.
18:14But everyone's fine, and the bat survived.
18:16And I was just scared to death.
18:18I can admit it now.
18:19And I don't know why.
18:20I was a little guy.
18:21Anyway, we'll see you next time.
18:22Goodbye.
