00:00Today, these three players are after big money.
00:29And now, here's your host, the star of Press Your Luck, Peter Demarkin.
00:38All right.
00:39Thank you once again.
00:41Hi, everybody.
00:42Welcome to Press Your Luck.
00:43We're going to make your day.
00:44Honestly.
00:45And hopefully, we'll make someone else's day.
00:46You're looking for big bucks.
00:47Let's meet the three players looking for all that money.
00:48Starting with our returning champion, Peter Demarkin.
02:10Okay, great.
02:11Good luck.
02:12All right, great.
02:13All right, our third player is Duann Smith.
02:14How are you, Duann?
02:15I'm fine.
02:16How are you?
02:17I am fine.
02:18Duann, you are Mrs. California?
02:19Yes, I am.
02:20I'm the reigning Mrs. California.
02:22And that's terrific.
02:23And I was the first runner-up in the Mrs. America pageant this year for the state of California,
02:29and I'm proud to represent it.
02:30Congratulations.
02:31And you were a bodybuilder.
02:32Oh, yes.
02:34I am a bodybuilder because at 42 years old, in order to stay in the shape, you have to work at it.
02:39Wow, 42.
02:40You look great, Duann.
02:42Now, I was told also that you have a little poem for us.
02:44Oh, I do, because of my age.
02:46I ain't gonna never get old.
02:47I ain't gonna never get old.
02:48I got love in my heart and joy in my soul.
02:51I got faith in tomorrow and hope in today, and that's what keeps the whammies away.
02:55I ain't gonna never get old.
02:56All right.
03:02With that intro, we'll start playing the game.
03:07Let's see what happens, gang.
03:08You give me a buzz in the answer, you get three spins.
03:10A multiple-choice answer, of course, gets you one spin.
03:12Here's the first question.
03:14According to Psychology Today, what fraction of married men under 40 say they expect to have extramarital, Duann?
03:22One quarter.
03:23Extramarital affairs.
03:25Is it one quarter, one half, or three quarters?
03:28Barbara?
03:29Could you repeat the first part of the question again, please?
03:30According to Psychology Today, what fraction of married men under 40 say they expect to have extramarital affairs?
03:37One half.
03:38One half.
03:39What do you think, Greg?
03:40I'd say half.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Well, the fraction of married guys under 40 who expect to have extramarital affairs is three quarters.
03:49Not me.
03:51I'm in the other one quarter.
03:53The question really is, they expect to have them.
03:55How many actually do is another statistic.
03:58You know what I mean?
03:59Here we go with number two.
04:01Shiatsu, reflexology, and Swedish are the three basic types of what, Barbara?
04:07Massage.
04:08Is it massage, meditation, or walking, Greg?
04:11I'll say massage.
04:12What do you think, Duann?
04:13Massage.
04:14Those are all types of massage.
04:15Barbara up to three, Greg a spin, and Duann a spin.
04:20Next question.
04:23Which baseball player holds the record for most career home runs, Greg?
04:33All right.
04:34Didn't get an answer from Greg, so I'm giving multiple choice to Barbara and Duann.
04:37Which baseball player holds the record for most career home runs?
04:40Is it Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, or Hank Aaron?
04:43Barbara?
04:44Hank Aaron.
04:45Who is it, Duann?
04:46Babe Ruth.
04:47The heaviest of hitters is Hank Aaron.
04:50Hank Aaron gets the spin.
04:54Let me just say that these people are all up here trying so hard to come up with the answers,
04:58and sometimes the audience yells out an answer, so I just want to say to the audience, stop it!
05:06Next question.
05:07Here it comes.
05:08Sockeye, king, or chinook are all kinds of fish.
05:12Greg?
05:13Salmon.
05:14What kind of fish are they?
05:15Is it salmon, tuna, or mackerel, Barbara?
05:18Salmon.
05:19Duann?
05:20Salmon.
05:21The fish we're talking about is salmon.
05:22Correct.
05:23Barbara to five, Greg to four, and Duann to two.
05:26You guys will get some money when you come back after these words.
05:28Stay with us.
05:30All right, gang, time for some money here.
05:52$50,000-plus in dollars and in prizes, and there are some whammies,
05:57but Duann promises there will not be any whammies today, all right?
06:00How about a trip?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Let's listen to our own little Golden Gate tell us about San Francisco.
06:06Today's lucky winner could be riding on this very famous cable car
06:11because it's a six-night stay in San Francisco up in the Big Four today.
06:15This romantic city by the bay with its famous Chinatown,
06:18exciting dining treats, and lively nightlife will be theirs to enjoy
06:23if lady luck smiles upon them this day.
06:26All right, little trip to San Francisco, gang.
06:28You want to win this round so you can play last in the final round.
06:30That's an advantage.
06:31Four whammies is a disadvantage,
06:33and you can pass your remaining spins if you so desire.
06:35All right, few of spins first.
06:36Duann, two of them.
06:37You ready?
06:38Okay, yes.
06:39Let's make them count.
06:40Let's make them count.
