When Pat asked Stephen if he was a "gamblin' man" when he landed on the MYSTERY wedge, he replied, "Today, I am." And Candice wasn't too sure about her last letter.

Candice admits she hasn't heard of these lyrics form Schoolhouse Rock: "I'M JUST A BILL YES I'M ONLY A BILL." No worries, ma'am – you've won big! Stephen says he's unfamiliar with those lyrics, and Pat tries explaining Schoolhouse Rock but gives up.
Before the round begins, Pat says, "If you're just joining us… where have you been?"

CHAT: Pat mentions that Schoolhouse Rock is a series of short educational videos that taught kids about grammar, English, math… and growing mushrooms in your basement (Pat's words, not mine). Pat was confused about the last topic, but he liked every other video and thinks "people with young children remember" them.
