Teddy's TPIR: Episode 28/Flashback to 1998

[Teddy]

11 you want, and 11 you get. I was going to ask if you were going to take the $3,000 or go for the car, but since you already made your decision, I can't say I blame you for that. Just for fun, though, I'll look at those three cards and see if you would've won. The first card was...



...an A. Then the second card was...



...a C. Could it be that the third card contains an R, or even the word CAR? I'll just go ahead and take a look at the last one on the board, and I'm going to find that you would...



...not have won the car, because it was another A!

(applause)

(TPIR Theme 1972)

So you did the right thing, and as a result, you get $3,000 as a nice consolation prize. See you at the Wheel. Now George, let's get another player down here. Who do you have?

GEORGE: 123123123, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

I welcome you to the show, 123123123! Now let's take a look at the next prize.



GEORGE: This time, it's Rachel with a stylish baker's rack! (Giant Price Tag goes up to reveal it) (Eric) (applause) Foundry Select presents this Jaquan Iron baker's rack, which comes with four doors with shatterproof glass and four shelves to store your fine china and dinnerware on.

(cheers and applause)

Glad to have you here, Hag. Now focus your attention on Door #2, because we have even more prizes to give away, don't we, George?






GEORGE: We do, Teddy. In fact, we have four. How about a gas range, an air hockey table, an electric guitar and an office desk? (James and Rachel model them) (Big Banana Remix) (applause) First, this GE 6.8-cubic foot double oven gas range has a self-cleaning feature and a convection lower oven, finished in stainless steel. Second, feel the excitement of this Valley Dynamo Pro Style 8-foot air hockey table, featuring two paddles, a puck and side scoring. Third, this Fender American Ultra Stratocaster Maple Fingerboard electric guitar comes with an amp and carrying case, and it can even be played like an acoustic guitar. And finally, furnish your office with this Studio C 72x36 U-shaped Desk with hutch bookcase file cabinets and mid-back office chair, from Bush Business Furniture Company. Back to you, Hag and Teddy!



Thanks, guys! Now Hag, we're playing Danger Price. See that price of $4,100? One of those prizes has that price attached to it, and that's the one you want to avoid, because it's the danger price. Choose the other three that are not $4,100, and you win all four prizes. Which one do you want to start with?

[Hag]

I'll start with the air hockey table.

[Teddy]

You're going with the air hockey table. How much is it, Rachel? It is...



BUZZ!/Losing Horns

...$4,100, and the game is over already! Now let's see what the other three prices were.



Hopefully, you'll have better luck at the Wheel; see you there.

(applause)

(TPIR Theme 1972)

We'll have another game ready to go, as our Flashback to 1998 continues after this.

[Teddy]

Welcome back to The Price is Right, everybody! Before we continue, I'd like to show you a clip of Bob Barker and Rod Roddy discussing a famous incident that occurred on the original episode from 1998. Here it is.

(clips of Rod calling down a contestant named Nicole play on plasma screen behind audience, followed by one of Bob commenting on her last name; near the end, a clip of Nicole coming on down and confirming her last name plays)

Hopefully, we won't have anything of the sort going on here. George, who's going to join us in Contestants' Row?

GEORGE: I got it, Teddy. It's going to be geniusinmath, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!

(Walking 1976)

(cheers and applause)

Nice to have you here, geniusinmath. Now let's see the next prize.



GEORGE: Around on the Turntable comes Jimmy with a stylish vase. (Cue 19 with flutes) (applause) This Aurelle Home Large Modern Dark Blue vase makes a perfect addition to your living room, den or even man cave. Comes with a very fine polished look and is durable, so you can enjoy it for many years.

Thank you, James!

(fade to closeup of Magic # prop, then slowly zoom out)

In a minute, you're going to play Magic # two great prizes, and George, what are they?





GEORGE: They are His & Hers golf clubs, and a perfect place to take them, a trip to Augusta! (Rachel and James model them) (1994 Trip Cue) (cheers and applause) First, these Cobra Men's & Women's golf clubs each have a complete set of irons, woods and wedges, plus a driver and putter, each coming with its own bag and a set of PGA-approved golf balls. And second, you and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Augusta, Georgia, for a six-night stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Augusta. Enjoy Southern hospitality at its very best in this charming town, and marvel at Augusta National Golf Course, where legends like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods perfected their game. Daily breakfast, day passes at Augusta National and golf lessons for two are included!



Let me give you one hint before we get started: The trip to Augusta is more expensive than the golf clubs. Therefore, you must set a magic number that is more than the price of the golf clubs, but less than the price of the trip. If you do it successfully, you win them both. And here's how you set the magic number: You just take this lever and push it up, like this. (does so, and random sounds play) If you believe that you may have gone too high, you can push it back down. So let me set it back to zero, to make it fair. (pushes lever back down until 0 is shown on display) Now get over there and set that magic number!

(random Magic # sounds play)

[Plinkoman]

Hmmmm... Augusta, Ga... I know it well!
