04:19And then we'll be right back.
04:22Alex Reyes is an authorization tech from Panorama City, California.
04:26And I understand you want to say hi to somebody who's helped you out in preparation for Jeopardy.
04:29Yeah, there's three people I want to say hi to.
04:32My mom, who's in the audience.
04:34My dad, who's unfortunately no longer with us.
04:37And I'd be remiss not to mention my therapist, Ryan,
04:40because, you know, I'm kind of a risk-averse personality.
04:43And he kind of encouraged me.
04:44Like, yeah, why don't you try it out?
04:45It's the worst that can happen.
04:47I've never talked to a therapist about appearing on a game show.
04:49Did he give you any good advice for today?
04:50Yeah, he said, just enjoy it.
04:52That's great advice.
04:53Ryan, good job.
04:54I mean, I don't know why I need to approve your therapy.
04:56That's good advice, Alex.
04:57Also with us, Savannah Madera from Kempton, Pennsylvania,
05:00an arts administrator and former employee at what kind of a movie theater?
05:04So when I was in college, I spent two summers working at
05:07what is now actually the oldest operating drive-in movie theater,
05:11Shankweiler's in scenic Orfield, Pennsylvania.
05:13I miss the drive-ins.
05:14How was your drive-in theater?
05:16What was the job like?
05:17It was a lot of fun.
05:18The first summer I worked there, I worked in the field,
05:20which is mostly just showing people how to park correctly
05:23and telling them how to put their car in accessory mode,
05:25which is a struggle for a lot of people.
05:28So it inevitably also involved a lot of jump-starting batteries
05:31when they died after the movie.
05:33When people didn't put their car in, they didn't listen to you.
05:35You're a good advice about accessory mode.
05:36No, it's a struggle for some people.
05:38I'm glad there's a professional like you there at the drive-in.
05:40Thank you for your service, Savannah.
05:41Back here for his second game is our champion,
05:43Peter McFerrin from Corona, California, an energy industry professional, and an amateur gardener.
05:49Tell me about your gardening projects.
05:50Yes.
05:51So I'm from Illinois originally, and the idea of actually pumping water out of the ground to water grass
05:57and then mowing it strikes me as profoundly offensive.
06:01So living in a somewhat drought-afflicted area, I ripped out every blade of grass on my property,
06:08and I finished it last month right before I went in for another surgery on my leg,
06:14which is why I'm sitting in this stool today.
06:17Got it.
06:17I did it without an anterior cruciate ligament in my left leg.
06:21Wow.
06:21And it's kind of xeriscaped?
06:23It's going to be very Mediterranean.
06:26And rosemary, lavender, salvia, gray granite rocks.
06:30That's exciting.
06:31Lots of butterflies, bees, hummingbirds.
06:33And your plant budget might have gone up thanks to your Jeopardy winnings.
06:36You know.
06:37You can get some nice stuff, Peter.
