Tell us a little bit about

Whoo!

Hi, I'm Travis,
Travis Dunn,

and I'm just so darn
excited to be here.

I've never been to California.

I've actually never been past
Illinois, for that matter.

I just came off a
three day trek

from my hometown in Ohio,

a little place called Lebanon.

And got to apologize
for my appearance.

I swear, I clean up nice.

[Chuck] I mean, you must
be pooped, huh, Travis.

Oh, no, no, not at all.

The adrenaline's keeping
me going.

I want to win the big bucks.

[Chuck] What is it you do
for a living?

Yeah, I work...

I work in air conditioning
repair.

And sometimes, I drive an ice
cream truck during the summer

when I need to.

[chuckles] Beautiful.

So why do you want to
Press Your Luck, Travis?

To the camera, please.

[Travis] Honestly?

Yes, please.

Okay, so every morning
I wake up to the smell

of bacon on the griddle,
eggs on the stove,

and sometimes
burnt toast.

Don't tell my wife I said that.

And me and Patricia,
and our little one,

we gather around
the breakfast table

and we watch your show
until I have to go to work.

It's our little ritual.

correct answer,

one spin.

Incorrect answers, well,
