Pat Sajak's Bitterness
During Adam and Josh's childhood, their parents would often watch Wheel of Fortune. Even at a young age, Adam and Josh would notice that the host Pat Sajak would occasionally make what seemed to be a bitter or sarcastic comment in reaction to something a contestant would say or do. This led them to believe that Pat Sajak himself was cynical and bitter after many years of dealing with the annoying contestants. When pointing this out to others, nobody else seems to completely agree or even notice this occurring. Regardless, Adam and Josh stick to their conclusion.
The Truth Behind the Wheel
After the beginning credits of the show, the camera does a sweeping shot that pans over the audience and the wheel. Adam and Josh noticed that during this shot, the wheel appears to be spinning under its own power. Immediately assuming the worst, Adam and Josh concluded that the show was rigged and that people behind the scenes, and not chance, determined where the wheel would stop. The only reasonable conclusion that Adam and Josh could come to was that beneath the wheel, hidden from sight, was a team of enslaved midgets pushing it, akin to Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan the Barbarian chained to the Wheel of Pain.
The Teke-Mobile
A contestant on one episode named Teke caught Adam and Josh's attention. A Texan native, he personified the "good ol boy" stereotype that Adam and Josh despise. Teke made it all the way to the bonus round and won a small mobile trailer that Adam and Josh disdainfully dubbed the "Teke-Mobile". From then on, any contestant who seemed similar to Teke and/or won a mobile trailer was met with the same disdain.
Josh's Wheel of Fortune Winner's Theory
One night in 2011 when watching Wheel of Fortune, Josh noticed that Pat Sajak spoke to one contestant noticeably longer than the other two. This contestant went on to win the game. Seizing upon the potential for finding more proof that the show is fixed, Josh paid extra attention while watching it the next night. Again, the contestant that Pat Sajak spoke with the longest and seemed the most interested in went on to the bonus round. Based on this 100% success rate of a one-game sample size, Josh uses this as proof that whichever contestant Pat speaks to the longest will win the game. Josh calls this his "Wheel of Fortune Winner's Theory".
