Ever found yourself shouting answers at the TV while watching 'Wheel of Fortune'? Join us as we kick off with a hearty laugh over a recording hiccup and dive straight into the endearing partnership of Pat Sajak and Vanna White. We peel back the curtain on Vanna's accidental Playboy controversy, the bond between iconic game show hosts, and the staggering salaries of TV's finest, all while sharing our own family traditions around America's favorite word puzzle show. And yes, we even debate whether "R_S__L__E T__ P__ZL_" is a phrase we've heard just a few too many times.
The thrills of gambling can turn into a cautionary tale faster than a roulette wheel spins, and we've got the stories to prove it. From the rush of a Super Bowl squares victory to the scratch-off ticket blues, we lay it all out on the table. Films like "Uncut Gems" capture the gripping suspense of high stakes, but our chat reveals the very real lows of gambling addiction. Spoiler alert: we also share tales of those rare, small wins, and we can't help but wonder, is there such a thing as a professional gambler who beats the house?
Our trip down memory lane wouldn't be complete without a shoutout to the one and only Adam Sandler and the unmistakable Beastie Boys. We talk about Sandler's roots, his unexpected humility witnessed at an IHOP, and anticipate his role in "Spaceman," while still feeling the vibrations from the Beastie Boys' epic '94 Lollapalooza set. As we wrap up this wild ride, we leave you with that cozy feeling of camaraderie and, of course, our unorthodox yet binding sign-off – "pizza is bond.
