Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anyone in this room. But in a game show before,
I don't think so. I don't think any of me.
I played Bojo Buckets. That was about But that was
it far as it went. You played Boso Buckets as
a kid.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, and then I just screamed the whole time. So
then my mom had like pull.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
On TV on the mo. I did not know that
about you.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We don't have the video. I wish we did, but
I just screamed and screamed. I don't even think I
I don't even I don't even know. I have to
ask my mom. All she tells me is that I
was on there and then she had pulled me off
because I screamed the whole time. And yeah, wow, that
didn't that's a Jason Brown story.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I didn't know. See shocker Ron Buckets. I got to
play as an adult a couple of years ago. It
was pretty much the greatest day of my life. And
I won the bike he did. I tried to take
the bike. They wouldn't let me have the bike. I
wanted the bike. I could take Boso too, I did.
I wanted to take the bike, and I was going
to buy them ten more bikes to give the kids
(00:53):
or whatever, because I wanted that bike because trophy, that's
the one I won, and I was going to put
it my home in the corner. But just all remind
me of the time when I was a grown ass
man with arms that almost reached to the sixth bucket.
But I did, I got it. They wouldn't let me
have it, though they donated it to it. I'm like,
but I want that one. I'll get you a bunch
of other ones you can donate. They wouldn't, they wouldn't
(01:16):
go for it. But I want to know. We've gotta
been sitting on the story for like a week. We
just haven't had time. But eight five five five three five,
I want to hear your game show stories, if you've
been on one before, because this this happened last week.
A dude celebrated so hard on The Price is Right
that he dislocated his shoulder. Since that he had to
call somebody else up on stage. I guess to do
the wheel whatever that is, whatever it's called. I should
(01:39):
know what that big wheel it's called. Well, it's called it.
There's a showcase showdown or whatever. That's how you get
on the showcase showdown whatever the thing is showdown. You
got to spin a wheel. A lot of people don't
know them. You got to get as close as you
can do a dollar with that big wheel thing. But
the dude freaked out. He was so excited. I guess
he was going to Hawaii or something. And he was
(01:59):
so excited that he injured himself in the process. And
then was it like his wife or something. I'm trying
to read the story here. Yeah, his wife had to
come up on the stage and spind the wheel for
him because he was unable to do so. But I
guess he'll be fine in Hawaii. But I'm always curious.
I knew somebody was on the prices, right. They want
a bunch of stuff and they had to pay a
(02:21):
bunch of taxes on it. I remember. But I'm always
interested in like the backstory of people being on game
shows before. I mean, I've been I went to Wheel
of Fortune as a kid. I saw it done. It's
not really as exciting to be in the crowd as
it is to watch on TV because they add a
lot of like sound effects, and I don't know they
make it. There could be nobody in the audience. They
make it super exciting. Yeah, have you went on one
(02:44):
game show.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
No, my cousin was on Let's Make a Deal, the
one with Wayne Brady that's on like right around prices,
right time, and a lot he missed out on like
a lot of money and he took a trip to
so you know, like choose the door, choose you could
have this amount of money, you could have what's in
the box, and he show the money and missed out
on some boogie trip.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh, it's like that show. What was that show recently
with the Wall or something? It was one of these
shows where like you could you either had this amount
of money or then the person backstage would say, like,
I think basically it came it was it was divorce
inducing basically because it was like, you know, does the
person believe all make good choices or not? And then
they didn't know what was going on, and so half
(03:25):
the time it was like, well, we could have won
a million dollars, but you said, you know, you took
the conservative route because you don't believe in me, you
don't think I made good decisions. And then next thing
you know, they're in divorce court.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I wish we could go on in family few, but
they would you have to be like immediate family.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
You have to be related the celebrity jersey short.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Could we not be right? My uncle was the winner
of a Disney World trip in the Boso Show as
a kid. He's terrified of flying to this day because
on the flight down there a seal on the door
of the plane broke and the flight attendant scrambled the
stuff pillows in the door to seal it shut. Oh
(04:07):
my god. WHOA. Yeah, I was nothing to do with
the Bozos Show, but I can see how you would
associate those things. Oh man, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Yeah, I've always wanted to do the Bozo Show because
and I used to submit. You used to send a
postcard in to be the at home player, and he
used to and then so whenever someone plays, you got
the same prize, but my name never got picked.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Our friendly one Rodgers on another station in the in
the group here, he was chosen, and he has a
really great story about Maybe someday he'll tell you ask
him about it. He has a really good story about
being chosen as the at home player because his parents
worked all day and they wouldn't drive him down to
the studio to go to the audience, but they would
(04:47):
let him mail a letter every day and he finally
got chosen. And it's if somehow you don't know about
the Boso Show. I mean it was on nationwide. It
was on WG in America, and I used to watch
it in Arizona. I can only watch it till half
of the year because Arizona's time doesn't change, and of
course Central time does change, so it would shift to
where like part of the year I could watch it
(05:09):
before school and then part of the year. I guess
it came on after I was I'd already left my dad.
I want to talk to this person was on Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire? And Jeopardy. Why are you
texting this? I need to know? Yeah, I wonder do
they just call back the same people? Like if you
were on Family Feud and you did okay, you know,
do you get a call from will a Fortune next time?
(05:30):
Like how does that work? Like you're just in their pool? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, because I know talk shows you that, like you're
on Jerry Springer, they'll call you for the others.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah. Oh, we should ask Karama about that. This person
texting they were on Floor's Lava on Netflix. I love
that show.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Oh, Ashton loves Floor's Lava on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh oh cool, Yeah that was That was a lot
of excitement for that. Yeah. Man, you know I had
a teacher in high school that was on Jeopardy. Oh
really he did?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Our friend well Ben's dad rip Joe Hubbard. He was
on the Sports Jeopardy. He was hosted by Dan Patrick.
It was yeah, yeah, that dude. Certain people people have
that kind of brain or they don't. Like I know
some people that aren't necessarily all that smart, but they remember,
they can remember, memorize facts. They just know it. And
(06:20):
Joe was really smart. But like I think it's either
you have that kind of brain or you don't. I
don't have that kind of brain. I cannot remember a
series of statistics about anything neither. I can remember concepts
and stories and whatever. But like I would not win
on Jeopardy because stuff that I don't know, Like Ruvio
has that audition, I gotta I gotta take the test.
Just once he goes in there, it's just it just
(06:41):
never leaves this guy. Adam, Hey, how are you doing?
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Good morning? Love your show?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Thank you man? What game show were you on?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
We were on Every Second Count? What is it? I
can't remember gentleman's name. Every time, my wife and myself
at that time. Every time you've got a correct answer,
you get so many seconds. They had the most seconds
goes to the prize on at the end, and we
were accepted on it after we applied to get go there.
Uh we didn't have the close up there because we
(07:10):
were a vacation in Alli. So we went. We went
to Sears, bought closed kept kept the tags on the
clothes and all this ourself so we could do it
back afterwards. And so so we're on the show. We're
answering these questions and all this sort of stuff. She
gets one wrong. I figured, well, that's why she's the
next white anyhow So anyhow, so we went, we ended
(07:39):
up winning. We ended up winning the prize and all
that sort of stuff and everything else. And they do
maximum retail on the costs of the prizes. I went
to check what the price, like the refrigerator stuff later,
how much it actually costs, and it was almost one
and a half times when I would have gotten it
over at the Store's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Adam, thank you man, have a great day. Appreciate you.
I think about that sometimes on prices right when I play,
and I'm like, I either seemed way overestimated whim watching
at home or way underestimate, because I'm like, what price
are we going with?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
You? Like?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What the hell? Hey, Terry, Hi, it was your dad,
It was your dad on Jeopardy. Yes he was.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
He actually got to interview. He actually got on the
show to try out. He won, and they told him
that he did not have a face for TV.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Wait, they can do that, they do that to him.
I mean, because I'll be honest with you, somebody's brainy
acts are not that good looking Jeopardy. That's awful.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
You know, my dad was an average guy, like he
would just wear He was a T shirt and jeans
kind of guy. And I think that's how he kind
of showed up so very casual. He was like the
guy that would walk into, you know, a dealership with
footpants on and buy like a super sumpster car.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I'm sorry, but what's what's the new host?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
What's the guy's name? It's won a bunch of time.
That dude's no looker. I mean he's not hot.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
No, you know, no, definitely not.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:08):
He was really disappointed.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But that's crazy and he was smart enough he could
have won. Okay, Well, Terry, I say, your dad is
the champion that never was. That's what I think.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
They were scared of him so much.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Actually he actually passed away like four years. I really
appreciate that, so thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Of course, I'm sorry to hear that, but Terry, thank
you for telling a story. I love you. Have a
good day.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
