All right. All right. Here are our categories on Today's Wheel. I've already given you one.

We got players who played for both The Mets. Can you lower the music a little bit?

Tony Gallo (1:02)

I think you're going deaf, dude.

Craig Carton (1:04)

You're blasting it. It's not very high. What did you say?

Players who played for both The Mets and The San Francisco Giants as they open up a series tonight. Mets And Giants.

Ways and this becomes, and I'll give you one. I established on my Disney Cruise that tater tots are the best way to have potatoes. So this category is based on that. Just ways to prepare a potato to eat. Different ways to make potatoes. Selfish. Okay. We have Non-QB Super Bowl MVPs. Super Bowl MVPs who did not play the quarterback position. We have Bruce Willis movies. Bruce Willis movies.

Yeah. 1998 Yankees. Okay. How many 1998 Yankees can you name?

Tony Gallo (1:53)

I feel good about that one.

Craig Carton (1:54)

And the one we're going to play backwards, where I'm going to give you hints to try and guess it.

What was the number one movie today, September 4th, in, said, 1998? The 1998 number one movie at the box office this week, September 4th of the year 1998 Now, remember, we're going to play that one. How many clues can you name the movie in as opposed to just how many can you name? Okay? All right. Here we go, everybody.

Tony Gallo (2:24)

Spin that wheel!

Craig Carton (2:28)

All right, where are we going? Ooh, right off the gate. If we're going to play, we actually land on what we say.

Non-QB MVPs. This is Non-Quarterback Super Bowl MVPs. Now, Zach, you're our guest. You're going to play pretty much every round. Who's playing for you two?

Four Non-Quarterback Super Bowl MVPs. How many can you name, Zach? I can name six.

Six Non-Quarterback Super Bowl MVPs to you, Gallo.

Tony Gallo (3:07)

Four to six. Just jump two.

Craig Carton (3:55)

Yes, you should. I thought, I thought. Oh, man. One more.

Von Miller. Von Miller. That is number six. Congratulations.

Tony Gallo (4:04)

Too small, Gallo.

Craig Carton (4:05)

Too small. That was way too early. Way too early.

Tony Gallo (4:08)

Because I was afraid if I would have went one more number, he was going to tell me, and I just didn't think about.

Craig Carton (4:12)

You just didn't want to play the game because you're afraid.

Tony Gallo (4:14)

All right, here we go.

Craig Carton (4:15)

Ready, everybody?

Tony Gallo (4:16)

It doesn't work as much when you spin in the wheel as it does. What are you saying over there?
