02:52Here's the first question.
02:55When a glow worm glows, is it looking for food, shelter, or romance?
02:59Brad?
03:00Food.
03:01All right, he said food, shelter, or romance.
03:02Jackie?
03:03I'll say romance.

03:05I like romance.
03:06Yeah?
03:07A glow worm glows when he's looking for romance.
03:09Jackie gets a spin.
03:11Where was Tom?
03:15How do you know?
03:17Mr. Mitchell, did you ask them?
03:21All right, 10 worms, 9 when they glowed said that was the answer.
03:27The other one was speechless.
03:31The company that pioneered the use of the mail order catalog
03:34has discontinued theirs after 113 years.
03:37Tom?
03:38Sears.
03:39What company is it?
03:40Is it Sears, J.C. Penney, or Montgomery Ward?
03:42Brad?
03:43Sears.
03:44What do you think, Jackie?
03:45I'm going to go with it, Sears.
03:46Yeah, well, that first mail order catalog that is no more is Montgomery Ward.
03:50Whoa, don't you feel badly now.
03:53Okay.
03:54When a glow worm, oh, no.
03:57You like that one?
03:58You guys will get that one.
03:59A male deer is called a buck, and a male elephant is a bull,
04:03but what is the name for a male sheep?
04:10All right, I'll give you a multiple choice.
04:12If you're right, you get a spin.
04:13A male deer is called a buck, a male elephant is a bull,
04:15but what is the name for a male sheep?
04:17Is it a mutton, a ram, or an ewe?
04:20Brad?
04:21I'm going to say a ram.
04:24A ram.
04:25What do you think, Jackie?
04:26It's a ram.
04:27Tom?
04:28It's a ram.
04:29A male sheep is a ram.
04:30And Brad gets his spin.
04:32Jackie, the two.
04:33Tom, the two.
04:36You guys ready for another one?
04:37Yeah.
04:38Okay, here it comes.
04:39According to the title of this song from the music man,
04:41what did the pretty young Marian do for a living?
04:48I'm having fun.
04:51I'm going to give it to you multiple choice.
04:53All right, in the, uh, in the, uh,
04:55according to the title of the song from the music man,
04:57what did the pretty young Marian do for a living?
04:59Was she a librarian, a school teacher, or a dressmaker, Brad?
05:04I'm going to say she's a dressmaker.
05:06Okay, Jackie?
05:07Dressmaker.
05:08Tom?
05:09I'm going to agree with dressmaker.
05:10Marian, the librarian.
05:15And you guys are in the toilet.
05:18Brad gets his spin.
05:19That's it.
05:20One, two, and two.
05:21We'll be back.
05:22I promise you.
05:23Go, go, go.
05:24Here we go.
05:33Oh, boy, are we back to fun and prizes and goodies.
05:35$50,000 plus up there in cash and prizes.
05:38Doesn't that sound great?
05:39Sounds great.
05:40Well, we're going to ruin it a little bit
05:41because they're characters called whammies.
05:43They come by and eat your money, so be very careful.
05:45Would you like to take a trip?
05:46You bet.
05:47Well, our own member of the Mickey Mouse Club,
05:49Mouseketeer Rod, is going to tell us about it.
05:51Mr. Roddy.
05:52Hi, boys and girls.
05:53Here's a dream that could come true
05:54for children of all ages.
05:58Six fabulous days in Florida
06:00from the Magic Kingdom, Disney World.
06:02You can experience all the thrills and excitement
06:04of Walt Disney's Wonderful World.
06:06It's worth over $1,500.
06:08It's all there, including the Rod Roddy-sized golf ball
06:11that's sitting there.
06:12You guys want to win this round
06:13so you can play last in the final round.
06:14That's important because it gives you an advantage.
06:16Four whammies give you a distinct advantage
06:18because you'll be home cooking or something.
06:19You will not be here.
06:20And you can pass your remaining spins if you so desire.
06:22How about add a one?
06:23You know what add a one is up there?
06:24If you add a one to your score,
06:26if you had a dollar and you added a one,
06:27you'd have 11.
06:28Who cares?
06:29But if you had 1,000 and you added a one,
06:31what would you have?
06:3211,000.
06:33Tom's right.
06:3411,000 bucks.
06:35Not too bad.
06:36Not a lot of spins, but anything can happen.
06:38Brad, you're up because you have the least number of spins.
06:40You ready?
06:41All right, I'm ready.
06:42Hit the board, big guy.
06:43We need something to spin.
06:44We're going to go for big bucks, something to spin,
06:46or $5,000.
06:48Come on, big bucks.
06:50And stop.
06:51Stop at 750.
06:52All right.
06:53All right.

07:31Okay, let's go for some big bucks.
07:32Big bucks, and stop.
07:34Stop at 1,500.
07:35Big bucks.
07:36Big guy.
07:37750 ahead of Brad.
07:38One spin left.
07:39Press it or pass it.
07:40What are you doing to Brad?
07:41It's yours, Brad.
07:42Let's see what you can do with it.
07:43You need 750.
07:44Thank you, Tom.
07:45Come on.

07:56With $1,500, you have the advantage.
07:57You have first place.
07:58Boy, are we going to have fun when we come back.
08:01All right, you spin maniacs, you had a hot total of five spins that last round.
08:29Do you think you can top that?
08:30I think so.
08:31I hope so.
08:32I hope so, too.
08:33You ready for it?
08:34Here comes the first question.
08:36Let's see how well you know your wardrobe.

08:43All right.
08:44Would you wear it on your head, your wrist, or your shoulder, Brad?
08:48To your head.
08:49What do you think, Jackie?
08:50Head.
08:51Yeah, you'd probably wear your fez on your head.
08:52That's right.
08:53Brad gets a spin.
