00:00Ladies and gentlemen, Pat Sajak and Santa White!
00:14Hey, how you doing? Thank you, folks.
00:19Thank you, Charlie.
00:21Get yourself over there, you.
00:24All right, well.
00:25Welcome to the Wheel of Fortune.
00:30We were rushed today, barely had time to get all our wardrobe on.
00:32It's Orient Escape Week, and we're going to start with our toss-up puzzle.
00:36Someone's going to win $1,000.
00:37Everybody ready? Here we go.
00:39Phrase the category. Go ahead, Nana.
00:48Chris.
00:49Follow that.
00:51Nope, everybody else is in it. Let's go.
00:52Follow that car.
00:56That's what we needed to follow.
01:03Did I just notice you boogieing, Steve?
01:06I'm boogieing, man.
01:07This is Steve Wilson from Chicago, a married man with children, grandchildren.
01:12Right, I've got three grown kids.
01:14I have two daughters and a son.
01:17I have five grandkids. I have a lot of fun with them.
01:19Good for you. You do some movie extra work.
01:21Right, I work as an extra, but today I'm a star.
01:27All right.
01:29And you had $1,000. Congratulations on that.
01:31Actually, you're a co-star, because we have two other co-stars with you.
01:34Chris McCall from Edmond, Oklahoma.
01:37Let's hear about your life back there.
01:39Well, Pat, I've got a beautiful wife.
01:40I've got three wonderful boys, Tanner Carson and Maddox.
01:43And Maddox, I'll meet for the first time in October.
01:44I'm in the car business and love it.
01:47Okay, good.
01:47And let's see, a big sports fan.
01:50University of Alabama.
01:51Roll Tide.
01:51My mom was loving that.
01:52I guarantee it.
01:54Big time Alabama fan, even though I went to the University of Oklahoma.
01:56Well, that's all right.
01:57I'm a big fan.
01:58People love you in Alabama now and really don't want you to come back to Oklahoma.
02:01Good luck to you, Chris.
02:03Kathy Gebhardt, Windsor, California.
02:05A registered nurse, it says here on my card.
02:07What else should we know about you, Kathy?
02:08Well, I work in the neonatal intensive care unit, and I'm also a little league umpire
02:11and have a lot of fun calling balls and strikes.
02:14That's tough work, because people sometimes don't like the calls, right?
02:18Well, I think maybe because I'm a female, I might get a little bit of a break.
02:21Oh, good for you.
02:21You have family?
02:22I do.
02:23I've been married for 18 years.
02:24Wonderful husband, Jeff, and I have two kids, Stephanie and Sean.
02:26All right.
02:26Nice to have you along as well.
02:28Now, you know, this season, we have another toss-up here.
02:31It's worth $2,000, and it'll give someone the right to start the first round.
02:35So let's get to it.

02:49That's it.
02:49There you got it.
02:50You got the whole thing that time.
02:52Good for you.
