00:56Banna!
00:57Hello!
01:00It's always my pleasure to say hello to three real stars of this show, starting right
01:09here with Rako DeFour.
01:11What a terrific name that is.
01:13From Richmond, California.
01:15Tell us about your life in Richmond, Rako.
01:16Okay.
01:17I'm a mother of three, three, and I have my own business, word processing and printing.
01:22Yeah.
01:23And when we get a chance, we like to go camping and we like to travel.
01:26Okay.
01:26It doesn't sound like you get a chance all that often.
01:28No, no.
01:29But lots of luck on our show.
01:30Ralph Eaton is here, all the way from Woodbridge, Virginia, huh?
01:33Long Hall.
01:34Yeah.
01:34That's near Washington, is it?
01:35Washington.
01:36And you work for the Washington Area Transit Authority.
01:39Rapid Transit.
01:40Yeah.
01:40You have family back there?
01:41Sure do.
01:42I have a wife and three boys.
01:43And you raise horses?
01:46Do you have...
01:46We used to raise them.
01:47Now I like to bet on them once in a while.
01:49I see.
01:50Okay.
01:51On occasion.
01:52All right.
01:53Fess up here, Ralph.
01:54Well, I do.
01:55All right.
01:55Good luck to you.
01:56And here is Conrad Damon.
01:58How are you, Conrad?
01:59I'm doing okay.
02:00Good.
02:00Junior at Stanford University.
02:02What are you majoring in up there?
02:04English.
02:05And where's your home originally?
02:06Kansas.
02:07Good.
02:08These are all one-word questions.
02:09I'd rather ask more thoughtful questions.
02:11Right.
02:11In 25 words or less, tell us about Frisbee golf.
02:15You throw a Frisbee into an intricate basket and chain assembly in as few tries as you can.
02:20Oh.
02:20That's something you're seriously interested in.
02:22There's a tour and everything, right?
02:23Yes.
02:24You won tournaments.
02:24That's what I did last summer.
02:25A lot of fun.
02:26Did you win stuff?
02:26Um, I won four out of seven tournaments, but there's not a whole lot of money in it.
02:31In Frisbee golf?
02:31No.
02:32Well, maybe someday you get a big television contract and they'll, you know, the league
02:34will form and they'll form the USFL Frisbee.
02:37Okay, let's get going here.
02:39$1,000, top dollar value for this round.
02:41Try not to get bankrupt.
02:42If you do, you lose your cash, but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize,
02:46it's yours to keep.
02:47Sometimes I just trail off because I know it's over.
02:49All right.
02:50Thing is the category.
02:51Uh, just before the show, we drew numbers so you would start the game.
02:54Rayko, it's going to be you.
02:55Good luck, everybody.
02:55Okay.

03:40I'll spin again.
03:41Okay.
03:44Come on.
03:45Big money.
03:45$700.
03:49$150.
03:50I'd like an R.

04:16Come on.
04:17$200.
04:22Is there a P?
04:23We have a P up there, and you have $200, so give it another spin, not enough to buy a bottle,
04:28so go ahead.
04:29Okay.
04:29Okay.
04:29Let's go.
04:30Come on.
04:31Big money.
04:32Come on.
04:36$200.
04:39Is there an M?
04:40Sure.
04:41In fact, there are three M's up there.
04:47$800.
04:48I'd like to buy a vowel.
04:49Which one?
04:50An A.
04:51Can we give her an A?
04:52Just one, I'm afraid.
04:53It's right there, and you're down to $550.
04:56I'd like to buy another vowel.
04:57Okay.
04:58An O.
05:00Well, you'll like this.
05:01There are four O's.
05:02I would think that would help.
05:05You have just $300 left, but it is still your turn.
05:08That's the important thing.
05:09What do you want to do with it?
05:10I want to spin.
05:10Okay.

05:30Come on.
05:31Get that A.
05:36$250.
05:37An H, please.
05:38Where's that H?
05:40Well, you're not finished yet.
05:42It's up to you, really.
05:42You have $1,150.
05:44I'd like to solve the puzzle.
05:45Okay.
05:45I guess you are finished.
05:46What's this thing?
05:47Cream of mushroom soup.
05:49That's it.
05:53Usually it takes us one close call to make people quit.
05:57$1,150.
05:59You'll spend that money in the bedroom.
06:00What would you like?
06:01For $1,067, I'd like the bedroom set.
06:04Okay.
06:05You've got it.
06:05And that's it.
06:07$83 left.
06:08That will go either on an American Express gift certificate or an account.
06:10It's all up to you.
06:11Gift certificate.
06:12A good decision.
06:13Jack, how about that furniture?
06:14Looks good.
06:15It sure does look good, Pat.
06:17Rako, it's Parkville by Bassett.
06:19This modern bedroom set features a triple dresser base with octagonal mirror, five-drawer chest, panel headboard, and nightstand in a mahogany finish.
06:30It's from Bassett.
06:31It's $1,067.
06:34Hey, that's a nice start.
06:35Congratulations.
06:37We're going to take a break.
06:38We'll be right back with our second round.
06:39And as usual for round two, we'll put a very nice prize on the wheel.
06:42If you promise to come back, we'll tell you what it is.
06:50Yeah, sure.
06:51Of course.
06:52Oh, sure.
06:53All right.
06:54Hi.
06:55It's round two, and we have a very nice prize on the wheel.
06:58As promised, it says ring.
07:00And Jack will now explain that word.
07:01I'll be happy to, Pat.
07:02As most unusual, a great motif adds interest to this lovely gold, diamond, and ruby ring.
07:10It's yours to enjoy from Sunshine Jewelers, $4,250.
07:15If you land on that special prize, it will go into your bank.
07:21And, of course, if you solve the puzzle, it will automatically become yours.
07:24And then you'll have to walk around like this the rest of your life.
07:26I also want to remind you we have a second bankrupt out in the wheel.
07:30Watch out for that.
07:31Let's get to our next puzzle.
07:32Events is the category.
07:34And, Ralph, you'll start.

08:36One, two, three, and four.
08:38You're down to $2,600.
08:41I'm going to spin one more time.
08:42The man who bets on horses is going to spin.
08:44Come on.
08:45Let's go, baby.
08:49Stop right in here anyway.
08:51There you go.
08:52I would like a P, please.
08:54Sure.
08:54There is one P.
08:55Now, Ralph, let's see what kind of a rambling, gambling guy you are.
08:58$3,200.
08:59What's it going to be?
09:00Enough to try to solve it.
09:01Okay.
09:02Presidential inauguration.
09:03You did it.
09:04Yes, sir.
09:05Hey.

09:17Okay.
09:18For $1,279, I would like the cooking center.
09:21Okay.
09:21That belongs to you.
09:22And you still have over $1,900 left.
09:24For $8.99, the refrigerator.
09:27Okay.
09:27Well, my wife's going to love that.

09:29For $3,19, the color TV.
09:32Okay.
09:32Now you have $703.
09:35For $500, the cookware.
09:37Okay.
09:37$2,03 to go.
09:39And for $1,50, the snack trays.
09:41That would leave $53 for either a gift certificate or we can put it on account.
09:44Gift certificate.
09:45I think you made the right decision there, Ralph.
09:47And you have some very nice prizes and Jack Clark will tell you about them or we'll fix it in post.
09:53Jack.
09:54Okay.
09:55Well, we start the list with Quaker's five-piece set of tray tables.
