Life was simple. And we still survived with not having a phone on us all the time. Check the answering machine when you got home. Need to make a phone call? Stop at a pay phone. Oh yeah, and be home before the street lights are on...
ignorance is bliss. When you think the world is what is around you and you aren't inundated with hate and fear from the internet things are simpler. Back then it wasn't that everyone was better or everything was nicer, it's that back then we didn't know any better
@@chriswise7978 I disagree. I live in the same building as then. The area's more expensive but it's not nicer. Crime runs and nothing is done to fix it. It was supposed to be worse then, but no carjackings or riots or anything unlike now. The fentanyl can't come too soon, imo. And yes, I've known people it killed. Just hoping it washes away the other garbage with it.
That lady was so wholesome, I'm glad she won the car. I was expecting that the story was going to end in controversy but it was just a sweet story of winning on TPIR.
She didn't really win the car for free. She has to pay taxes and fees or prove the ability to pay them before they let her drive away. when Ophra would give a away cars to her audience many of those cars remained on the studio lot because they couldn't afford to pay taxes and fees.
@@dps6198 The recipients of such prizes always have the choice of getting the cash equivalent, which is then taxed at the end of the year. It's not like winning a car unduly burdens the winner.
@@MilesFromExtraordinary they still have to pay taxes and fees either way. Most shows won't give the contestant a choice of a cash equivalent. And yes, if you don't happen to make a lot of money and foolishly agree to terms and conditions because you don't understand and think it's really it can be a burden. The value of the car is considered income and is taxable, then there's the title transfer fee, registration fee, insurance that's due up front, documentation fee, etc. So if you win $70k truck that 70 grand is income added to what you current income which can push you into a higher tax bracket.
This was really cute. Im so glad you shared it with us. It's 2023 and i'm grinning ear to ear just so happy for two complete strangers who had a moment long ago.
It's funny (and kind of sad) that so many people expected this to end in tragedy, controversy or horror, when in reality it's just a simple feel good story. Shows a lot about media these days when these kind of stories are so rare and hard to find
What a precious gal and an uplifting story! My dear grandfather was on TPIR in 1978. He was 76 years old at the time. He was such a sweet man and Bob Barker was so good to him. It was one of the greatest highlights of his life. He won a trash compactor and got on stage! My family was all in the audience to watch it happen. Great memories of wonderful times. 💗
@@katemorgan2464 No, I believe that would be the "Microwave oven" and the "VCR". At 15 yrs old in 1978 I didn't know anyone who had a "trash compactor" let alone even know what one was. So yeah jus say'n.😏
Don't forget, Sweet and .. Pretty too! So it Aint plain old texas :-) I have a number of cousins in Texas and always love visiting the Lone Star State!!!
Not only do we get the nostalgia of watching this but then the “ancient Chinese secret”commercial gets shown too. One of my favorite commercials from when I was a kid. ❤❤❤
The young dad cheering loop at the end was perfect. I can't imagine having a short clip of my dad, half my current age, enjoying one of the most exciting moments of his life... this is a priceless video.
You must cherish this video of your mom. She’s seems like a genuinely nice person. Especially since she mentioned you on it so long ago. Great memories.
This is probably the best thing I've watched on UA-cam in years !!! Not only did it take me back to the days when I would watch TPIR, but it was such an awesome story in the end !!!
Except for the part in the beginning where she tells the story that they would pick people based on how they looked. Aka young pretty women are going to get picked more often than old ugly men and women. Good thing Bob Barker didn't make it to the me too era is all I'm saying
@aegisfate117 Even among the woke and me too days, they still put attractive people on TV and movies. I get what you're saying. They probably would still cancel Bob Barker.
Yes! I've watched too much true crime and documentaries on UA-cam, I kept waiting for some insidious dark secrets to be exposed. Besides some casual sexism and regionalism, it was pretty wholesome.
I would’ve been about 9 years old when this episode aired. I was probably sitting on the carpeted floor of my grandmother’s living room drinking chocolate milk as Mrs. Kreig won that cool car. My older brother and I would stay with my grandmother during the day in the summers while my parents were at work. I was probably sitting too close to the tv too but loving every minute of it. Good times.
1:56 She has some great comedic timing under pressure, pulling those one liners out of nowhere with that deadpan delivery … “They wanted a boy” … “I think they made it up” 😂 Getting a genuine hearty laugh out of Barker is pretty good!
I’m from the South,still here, anyway my Mama would say you can always find something funny in every situation and we did and still do! We just said goodbye to her last week. She was just as pretty as Mrs.Teague here, a true Southern Belle, and maintained her beauty up until her passing……. and true to her belief, we found many things funny as we gathered to tell stories and honor her life. She loved the “Price Is Right” too! Don’t take life too seriously and always look for something too laugh or smile about. Sorry for the long post, just felt the need to share. Blessings to you.😀
You think she'd never said those one liners before? I doubt she pulled it out of nowhere. I'm certain she's had to explain her name and joke about it her entire life. Yes, she is sweet and shy, but this clip doesn't prove any type of wit.🤷♀️ *She may indeed BE witty...I'm just debating your assumption. Cheers!
Her and her husband have been married for 53 years, mother of 5 children, and grandmother to 14! Sheesh! God bless the Teague family! And God bless Texas y’all! 🫡🇺🇸
I'm so pleased this video wound up on my suggested list. This was a fantastic story and a much needed reminder of how great those simpler times were. Krieg seems like such a sweetheart of a lady! You have great parents, Beau!
Great? She was told to kiss someone. Back then, women could be sexually harassed and nothing would be done. Even in the workplace. Women still weren't close to being equal in the workplace either. If a man beat up his wife, the cops wouldn't do anything if they came. People died for things that are easily survived today with modern medicine. Granted, we didn't have as much propaganda and conspiracy theories as we do today because of the lack of internet. It wasn't really a simpler time. It was just a different time.
@@SouthernSpice_MamaBear That would've been me! Don't forget on school sick days if you were too sick or lazy to get out of bed to change the channel Perry Mason would always be the show to come on at noon. Anything, but the news at that age & NO remote controls either!😂
@C Jacobs When it got dark or when my mom had to go somewhere without kids we weren't outside. I grew up starting in the early 70's so we were all outside whenever we could. Yay summertime and childhood!!!
Now we lock kids in government indoctrination facilities. From 4yrs old to 18yrs old. Good government debt slaves. Their favorite past time is get vaxed or get fired. Stay up to date. Climate lockdowns are next. You'll have the rest of your life to watch TV and remember the freedom we use to have. From the government and we're here to HELL-P💉🛩😷🤮🤑
I just recently lost my big brother. The Price is Right had always been his favorite show even when he was a baby. They said he used to stand in his play pen and watch it and wouldn't move until it went off. It was literally the last show he watched before he went into the hospital. In a weird way brought me comfort and made me smile.
I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this video, but i'm glad I watched it. God bless that lady and her family. I hope they're all doing well today
How in the world does this constitute a "Historic" appearance on the price is Right?? LOL Why?? because she was young and cute?? The show tried to have a young and cute female on literally EVERY show! ?? How is this "historic"??
Beau, watching your Mom and Dad win that car was amazing to see. I thank your grandfather for insisting on finding someone with a VCR to make a copy of this so you could share this story with us today!
You can tell she worked very hard being a good Mom and wife. Everything she was supposed to do, even in her eyes. Back then you better be those things or the cancel culture would sure have you cast out... People don't remember that small towns had phones and phone circles of gossip........
@@Freddy_Confetti Pointless perhaps, but sweet and innocent. We need more of this in our world today. Sometimes it's not just about the content. It's about the quality.
Sadly, Girls like her are a relict of the past.....cute, sweet, humble, feminine, and pretty.....today the girl would be dressed like a hooker and lecture Bob about his "toxic masculinity". Then (when she didn't win) she'd complain about the patriarchy and her demand for more abortion rights...... and how having sex with 30 different dudes since high school doesn't make her a sloot. LOL
I agree, and am hoping that by liking and commenting I change my algorithm enough to get more well-told stories like this. What a fun experience to share with the world.
My first video of 2023. I was hesitant about watching it but I'm so glad I did. This was so wholesome. She is a beautiful soul. A total sweetheart. Such beautiful memories of your parents.
Her enthusiasm is still there after all these years! I remember watching the Price is Right show at the time and the cars were THE prize everyone wanted to win.

Awesome! Thanks for posting such a fun story! And by the way just for kicks, that $499 microwave in 1979 - that's equivalent to $2,055 today. They were a real luxury item at the time.
My parents bought there Radarange microwave in 1981 and they still have the dang thing. It’s 41 years old! I’ve had at least 4 microwaves myself in the last 10 years. Lol. They don’t make them like that anymore :)
Yep.. we had one in 1976.I don’t know anyone else that had one at the time. We had a lot of foster children and Our mom cooked most of the meals in it. Including meat.Yuck. Tasted Ike chew toys.A lot of the times it was horrible food. ..But it was quicker.😅
@@vanessahenry7238I have a large one from Sears. I don’t know how old it is but it came with the house that we bought six years ago. It’s still working fine.
Exactly how my wife was chosen to be a contestant in 1987! The 'line interviewer' asked her, "So what's it like being the mother of four children?" My wife replied, "If you're a mom, you already know!" Yep, she was asked to "... come on down!" She won several appliances and a trip for two!!!! (A couple of months later, we VCR'd the show.) Obtw, we had to declare the winnings on our taxes.
For sure, before we had treatments for most cancer, racism was even more prevalent and you didn't have instant access to the sum of human knowledge from your pocket. Not to mention the other massive quality of life improvements to humanity since then. Yeah, let's bring those times back. Fuck me.
I hope you have a southern accent, cause I read your comment with one. (It wasn't a fake one, either, because I've got one, too!😁) Lol, anyway, I was born in '71, (proud Gen Xer!) and I agree with you 100%! My daddy was a career Navy man, so we grew up in Navy housing until I started 9th grade when he retired, so we were sheltered just a little bit more than average. I know things were starting to change, but back then we had no idea... Until we heard about poor Adam Walsh. We happened to be stationed in Orlando when it happened. I can tell you, all my little friends and I were terrified. I had just turned 10, 9 days before he was taken. I even remember my mom being upset about it all. Then, 2 years later I turned 12 and started Jr. High in 7th grade, (I don't think there were middle schools yet. If there were, I had never heard of them in all the different places I'd ever lived) and it was the first time I was going to a school that wasn't all military kids. I was absolutely traumatized for the next 2 years after what I saw on the way to school on my bus. We were less than 1\4 mile from the school when I looked out my window and saw 2 girls who were supposed to be walking to school, on the ground. One girl was on her back, the other sitting on top of her pounding her face in with both fists! I remember exactly what I was saying to myself, and how I felt, like it was yesterday! This is waaay too long and nobody cares, so I'mma just stop here. Sorry! 😁
I keep coming back to watch this because it puts a smile on my face every time! She is just so sweet, and so pretty, and she has such big beautiful doe-like eyes, and her accent is so cute she just puts a big smile on my face. What an adorable woman Beau is so lucky to have a mother like her she is truly one of God's creatures.
Price is Right had to be one of the best tv game shows ever created. I mean nothing got the family gathered around like this show did. Absolutely blessed to have been a kid growing up during these years of our lives, when society was predominantly good and television was educational and entertaining. A better world for us back then
@@JeanLucLaforgeEsq not that the world felt a better place back then , but it was a better place than todays garage ass society. Technology/internet etc…. Has ruined the world.
Not only Price is Right but just all entertainment was better back then. Nothing better than gathering around for your weekly tv show. Also, the same with your favorite band. There was no instant access like there is today so when a new magazine came out or a tv interview, it was super exciting. I tried to tell my daughter how things were more exciting back in the day. She said it would be annoying to have to wait. But we didn’t know any different and the build up, waiting for the things we enjoyed, made it so much better when it did come around.
I was worried this was going to be some kind of horror story, but it was just a sweet lady who won a prize. This is the first video I watched this year. I hope it’s an example of what’s to come
how long have been married? Two years . How old are the kids? 5 and 2. It was nice he did not miss a beat and kept on going. I too thought something horrible was going to happen.
Went to this studio when in the service. They were doing a Memorial day show so the whole audience was active service. During commercials someone brought out a stool for Bob Barker to sit on & he would just talk to the whole audience. Turns out he was a Navy pilot back in the day. Just a great guy & a gentleman. This would have been around 1991 or 92.
Kreig is just the sweetest soul you can tell…& that’s why she was picked to play. I hope she is still well and wonderful today somewhere ‘winning’ at life. 🤍 Seeing Bob Barker and Kreig Teague interact was the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in years on UA-cam. Beau, thank you for sharing your Mom’s wonderful moment with us.
Mrs. Teague is as cute and nice today as she was back then. Husband Stephen and their children couldn't have a sweeter wife/mother. What a great story, thanks for sharing.
That's what you would think, but I have this type of attitude and I've been asked several times "Why are you so "F" happy all the time?" or "How could you be so happy with all the mess going on?". I just shake my head and move along. I try to keep as much distance from people as possible these days because my positive vibe angers people for some reason. It's so nice to come across other happy people.
@David Armstrong kinda true. I grew up near plano, and all the women down there used to be gourgeous, easy to find beuties, but all that's changed since so many others moved to that area in the last 30+ years.
Oh this was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this story with us. Kreig is an absolute joy and I really appreciated you keeping the old commercials in there too! Total time capsule!
Thanks for including the Calgon commercial. That one ran for several years, and even now, all these years later, I can quote it verbatim, with timing, tone, and timbre. Stupid that a commercial can bring back such pleasant childhood memories, but that it did.
Remember the one for the dish soap? "Ancient Chinese Secret?" Calgon water softener? Today it was be "bad," but seriously, I met a woman who had that accent recently. So, now it's like everyone has that same Midwest broadcast voice accent if you only watch media
As a big fan of The Price Is Right, I find this story fascinating! I graduated from high school in 1979 so the time and the items peaked my interest. And the lady was so engaging. Just makes you think of simpler and wholesome times.
Here we all are in 2020’s expecting this story to down spiral (me included) but so shocked it’s just a fresh happy experience. Wow how cool is that. Made me really think how jaded we all have become-always expectations of drama. 😢 maybe more wholesome content like this will cause a shift in our world back towards those days of a simple fun love each other life.❤❤😊
Honestly, I was waiting for some scandalous moment throughout the video, but still enjoyed it thoroughly! So many memories of my childhood flood into my mind when I see the old Price Is Right shows. 1979 was a glorious year for me a kid. Kreig was not only adorable, but so intriguing with her subtle style! :)
What a sweet and beautiful lady. I am so happy she won the car. Bob was probably thinking NO WAY did that just happen! Thank you Beau for sharing this sweet wholesome story of your Mom.
Awesome story! Glad you won. I married my wife in 1979 while in the Air Force. We always watched the Price is Right at the Fire Dept where I worked during lunch breaks. Nice! I’m sure I saw this one since I’m from Texas and new where Plano was.
I don't know how this video got recommended to me by UA-cam but I am glad it did. You're obviously the 5 year old Beau from the video! Thanks for putting this great video together. Your mom sounds like the sweetest person ever. Love the whole behind the scenes stuff and her talking about her thought process throughout.
Ditto. 2nd video I've watched in 2023 and I have zero clue as why it was recommended! Crazy thing is, I now live on the property my grandparents owned. Every Saturday during the summer visits, me and my grandmother would watch TPIR and Soul Train. She would crack up alllll the time because I ALWAYS knew when the announcer would say.......A NEW CAAARRRR! 🥂 Happy New Year. Thanks to the son for uploading !
@@GuadalupeGuacamole I DO hear you. And I think, we all have connection to the show, watching the show. Will never (because I can't) speaking for everyone, who found this post. This video. SO Random! Somehow, someway WE connected. Word.
When I read the title of this video clip, I thought this was a story about her having a bad experience as a contestant on this game show, and it was just the opposite. It's fun to look at the old cars from 1979 from the Price is Right. I'm happy for her that she won a car on the show, and seeing her husband excited was pure joy. XO
Wow! I was 11 years old when this aired. I was instantly transported back in time to what seemed to be such an innocent era. I realize the world was full of problems but when you’re that age you have no real responsibilities which makes life seem simple. Thanks for the post.
This was excellent, I can remember like it was yesterday watching 👀 The Price is Right back in 79 and the calgon commercial just brought all of the memories home. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Looks like she has an Instagram account and has self-published a book on parenting. She seems like a clear-eyed, kind-hearted, grounded woman. Our nation needs more people like her.
I miss game shows, 1970's sitcoms, the commercials, and times that we didn't realize at the time of how much simpler the world was compared to current times. Thank you for sharing this nostalgic piece of your lives.
Thanks for sharing Beau. Such a sweet story. My Mom was on a game-show in 1970 called "Three on a Match," hosted by Bill Cullen (best known for hosting The Joker's Wild). She was the big winner, winning a sailboat, pool table, hi-fi stereo, vacation for 2 to St. Thomas, a BBQ, and a long-time supply of Creamettes, a brand of macaroni. My parents took the vacation to St. Thomas, kept the stereo and BBQ (Charbroil), and sold the sailboat and pool table to pay the taxes for the rest of the prizes. My mom is Italian, and Creamettes was not a brand of pasta that was up to snuff (I believe we were a Ronzoni family then), so my mom would only use the pasta when she'd bring pasta salad to picnics. It took us 16 years to make our way through that pasta. I was less than 1 year old when my Mom was on the show. There were no VCRs back then. I believe my Uncle took a film of the TV when the episode broadcast, the kind that you run through a film projector, but I never saw the episode, which would have been nice. Later she tried out to appear on Wheel of Fortune. Apparently, the try-out process involves traveling to a location and being given a bunch of word puzzles to solve. According to my mom, she was the only one in her "class" to get all the puzzles correct, but alas, she never got the call to appear on the show, and her gameshow career stalled at her one appearance from 1970.
I remember growing up and the Price is Right always being on the TV every week day, late morning on the east coast. Can't believe the show is still running so many decades later. Bob Barker was born to entertain.
Krieg as a fellow contestant I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that! You were delightful and I can see why they cast you. I feel like all of us that have shared that experience are part of a special club. I was on in 2015 so thanks to Social Media I have remained friends with several of the other contestants I was on with. Thanks to you and your husband for sharing!
I have a question from when you were on the show. If you won anything, did you have to pay the sales tax for items won plus the income taxes for the market retail value of the prizes you won before you got to collect your prizes?. I'm asking out of curiosity because a friend once told me that you could not get the prizes won until the sales taxes were paid and if you could not afford to do so you forfeit the prizes and they would use them in other shows, plus that you have to claim the full retail value of prizes won on your income tax return?. Asking out of curiosity.
@@shaynad41 I have heard the same thing, and I think that is just horrible, and very sad. A very low income person (for example) wins a car, but can't collect the prize, because they can't afford to pay the tax for the car.
@@shaynad41 I heard about that when Oprah gave everyone in her audience a car. Many declined because it put them in a higher tax bracket and I think it happens with a cash bonus as well. The government always takes the joy out of life!!!!
This was really fun! Born in 1965, I grew up watching The Price Is Right daily--for all I know, I saw this episode when it aired in the late 70s. Also, I've been on a reality TV show, and I know how strange it can be to discover yourself on camera, being seen by a huge audience that you can't see, and you only get to see it yourself later. So it was fascinating hearing your parents tell their own back-story! Thank you for sharing, and congrats to your folks.
I can't believe how much I enjoyed watching this. Now I want to see more videos like this. The late 70s and early 80s were the best times, for me anyway.
I clicked on this expecting it to be some scandalous or monumental story about the show, but this was a million times better. Such a sweet and charming lead, such simple joy, and a reminder of how many of our small moments deserve documentary treatment.
That is so neat! And the fact that you all will always have this experience on video because of a kind neighbor too share with your future kids and the world now is just awesome! Your parents are too cute ❤️
The husband already won the showcase of life with such a sweet wife.
Wow she is pretty
No make up , very pretty
You got that right. She´s about the most adorable thing I've ever seen, (or heard).
Thought the same. Attractive then and now. I kept waiting to hear that Bob put the moves on her. Nope, just a sweet story.
Watching this makes me miss living in a world without computers, internet, cell phones ect.. those were the days.
Amen to that
But still have a microwave!!!
Woo Hoo! A microwave and no cell phone. The best life you can get.

I love it. No dark twist. Just a surprisingly sweet little story
Except for the part in the beginning where she tells the story that they would pick people based on how they looked. Aka young pretty women are going to get picked more often than old ugly men and women. Good thing Bob Barker didn't make it to the me too era is all I'm saying
We need more good news.

Even among the woke and me too days, they still put attractive people on TV and movies. I get what you're saying. They probably would still cancel Bob Barker.
@@aegisfate117 you think they should pick the big ugly ones?
Yes! I've watched too much true crime and documentaries on UA-cam, I kept waiting for some insidious dark secrets to be exposed. Besides some casual sexism and regionalism, it was pretty wholesome.
I would’ve been about 9 years old when this episode aired. I was probably sitting on the carpeted floor of my grandmother’s living room drinking chocolate milk as Mrs. Kreig won that cool car. My older brother and I would stay with my grandmother during the day in the summers while my parents were at work. I was probably sitting too close to the tv too but loving every minute of it. Good times.
Same here on the age and sitting with my grandma watching game shows huskin' corn and snapping peas!!! Definitely good times
Took the words right out of my mouth....
I know me too my mom and aunt used to love watching this so I would usually watch it with my aunt most times and I was 10 years old in 1979
Lol same
I watched it at grandmother's, too. She had a king sized bed. We'd all pile up on it, and watch TPIR, and All My Children.
1:56 She has some great comedic timing under pressure, pulling those one liners out of nowhere with that deadpan delivery … “They wanted a boy” … “I think they made it up” 😂 Getting a genuine hearty laugh out of Barker is pretty good!
Still a milf
I’m from the South,still here, anyway my Mama would say you can always find something funny in every situation and we did and still do! We just said goodbye to her last week. She was just as pretty as Mrs.Teague here, a true Southern Belle, and maintained her beauty up until her passing……. and true to her belief, we found many things funny as we gathered to tell stories and honor her life.
She loved the “Price Is Right” too! Don’t take life too seriously and always look for something too laugh or smile about. Sorry for the long post, just felt the need to share. Blessings to you.😀
@@lizajane6926 thanks for sharing. Driving thru I got to experience some southern hospitality & won't soon forget.
You think she'd never said those one liners before? I doubt she pulled it out of nowhere. I'm certain she's had to explain her name and joke about it her entire life. Yes, she is sweet and shy, but this clip doesn't prove any type of wit.🤷♀️ *She may indeed BE witty...I'm just debating your assumption. Cheers!
@@denisesf5 oh lighten up don’t be jealous
Her and her husband have been married for 53 years, mother of 5 children, and grandmother to 14! Sheesh! God bless the Teague family! And God bless Texas y’all! 🫡🇺🇸
Turn out they're Biden supporters. Still God bless them?
Thanks for including that vintage Calgon commercial! It was a fun trip back in time.
I like the vintage ads, too. Although, I never understood why the wife would do such damage to his business by divulging the secret of soft clothing.
@@rebeccajones4stories "Ancient Chinese secret..."
Probably wouldn’t be allowed to make that commercial today without someone b*tching about it? But I think it was cool!
Boy, that commercial wouldn't fly today, too many snowflakes.
Friggen racist ad. I remember that Calvin commercial. So glad we’re more enlightened now.
I'm so pleased this video wound up on my suggested list. This was a fantastic story and a much needed reminder of how great those simpler times were. Krieg seems like such a sweetheart of a lady! You have great parents, Beau!
All four statements as accurate as you can get 🎯
So true. This was a sweet story. Beau is now 48, and their girl is 45. My, how time flies.
Let's go back Jason!
Great? She was told to kiss someone. Back then, women could be sexually harassed and nothing would be done. Even in the workplace. Women still weren't close to being equal in the workplace either. If a man beat up his wife, the cops wouldn't do anything if they came. People died for things that are easily survived today with modern medicine. Granted, we didn't have as much propaganda and conspiracy theories as we do today because of the lack of internet. It wasn't really a simpler time. It was just a different time.
@@DaveCM
I did notice Bob Barker joke that she was a typical woman for changing her mind.
The great thing about being a kid in the 80s was watching the Price Is Right during Summer break. Miss them days.
Snow days and sick days, Come on Down!!!😁👋
@@SouthernSpice_MamaBear
That would've been me! Don't forget on school sick days if you were too sick or lazy to get out of bed to change the channel Perry Mason would always be the show to come on at noon. Anything, but the news at that age & NO remote controls either!😂
@C Jacobs When it got dark or when my mom had to go somewhere without kids we weren't outside. I grew up starting in the early 70's so we were all outside whenever we could. Yay summertime and childhood!!!
Now we lock kids in government indoctrination facilities. From 4yrs old to 18yrs old. Good government debt slaves. Their favorite past time is get vaxed or get fired. Stay up to date. Climate lockdowns are next. You'll have the rest of your life to watch TV and remember the freedom we use to have. From the government and we're here to HELL-P💉🛩😷🤮🤑
Yes! Those were the days. Eggo waffles and price is right
You're the little boy who was so excited that mom had won the car! Awww, that's a cool story! and a great piece of family history to share.
This does not look 1998.
It seems not 1979 to 1984.
I just recently lost my big brother. The Price is Right had always been his favorite show even when he was a baby. They said he used to stand in his play pen and watch it and wouldn't move until it went off. It was literally the last show he watched before he went into the hospital. In a weird way brought me comfort and made me smile.
Rip, who knows maybe him and bob are spinning the wheel in paradise
@@Lousasshol 😀 100% believe they are.
I watch a lot of true crime. I kept expecting something horrible to happen in this video. That was well worth the watch.
Same here! Maybe I watch too much dark true crime but I kept waiting for the murder, or to find out that Bob 'me too'd' her or something.
Yeah. We watch waayyy too much ID Channel!!! 😆 🤣 😂
LOL Me too I thought they were gonna say the fireplace blew up!
Me too!!!! 🤣🤣
@UCq0q7WEEjzGnoEwVJEMzwMw Now you're being REALLY weird. You should try tangerine perhaps...
I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this video, but i'm glad I watched it. God bless that lady and her family. I hope they're all doing well today
I definitely thought someone was going to die etc
@@richperkins5192 you just never know with these stories, right?
How in the world does this constitute a "Historic" appearance on the price is Right?? LOL Why?? because she was young and cute?? The show tried to have a young and cute female on literally EVERY show! ?? How is this "historic"??
Yall realize the guy that made/posted this video is Beau right. The little 5 yr old son who ran out to see the car.
@@davidlemaster2034 historic for her son that posted it. I enjoyed it.
Beau, watching your Mom and Dad win that car was amazing to see. I thank your grandfather for insisting on finding someone with a VCR to make a copy of this so you could share this story with us today!
Amen.
Spoilers. Lol
The car was nice, but hearing Johnny Olson say "A BRAND NEW CAR!" is the real prize.
I wonder what ever happened 2 that car and how long they had it.
That’s right!
I have no idea why this came up on my feed, but I'm glad it did. Very sweet.
This is a cool story. This lady deserves all the gifts on the show. We need more people with her soul in our world.
love her southern accent.
You can tell she worked very hard being a good Mom and wife. Everything she was supposed to do, even in her eyes.
Back then you better be those things or the cancel culture would sure have you cast out...
People don't remember that small towns had phones and phone circles of gossip........
@@Freddy_Confetti Pointless perhaps, but sweet and innocent. We need more of this in our world today. Sometimes it's not just about the content. It's about the quality.
Sadly, Girls like her are a relict of the past.....cute, sweet, humble, feminine, and pretty.....today the girl would be dressed like a hooker and lecture Bob about his "toxic masculinity". Then (when she didn't win) she'd complain about the patriarchy and her demand for more abortion rights...... and how having sex with 30 different dudes since high school doesn't make her a sloot. LOL
Great story and video! Kreig was an absolute sweetheart. Watching her husband lose his mind celebrating (even in slo-mo) at the end was hilarious!!😂
I had no idea what I was getting into watching this but I'm glad I did. It's great to see wholesome and happy content. ❤️
I agree, and am hoping that by liking and commenting I change my algorithm enough to get more well-told stories like this. What a fun experience to share with the world.
@Rae Funny. I used the very same word to express how I felt about this video. "Wholesome". 😃
My first video of 2023. I was hesitant about watching it but I'm so glad I did. This was so wholesome. She is a beautiful soul. A total sweetheart. Such beautiful memories of your parents.
Wow me to didn't think of it that way good way to start the year off with a good wholesome video lol happy new year
Happy New Year!
@@rockman49er yup... Thank you and Happy New Year!
@@vivaciousom5347 happy New Year!!
I miss wholesome.
Everytime she spoke during the show and in the interview... I was smiling. What a wonderful spirit she is!
Her enthusiasm is still there after all these years! I remember watching the Price is Right show at the time and the cars were THE prize everyone wanted to win.
Don’t know how this wound up in my feed, but it made me smile. Nice work, Beau, I hope your parents are still alive and well.
Same!
Ah, yes. Back when people were kind and genuine. The good old days. She is a gem of a lady!
People are still that way, you just don't find many on social media.
Ted Bundy was active back then

Life was so much simpler back then. This video was a real treat to watch. So happy for her! What a memory. Gotta love that UA-cam algorithm.
I could say the Calgon commercial word for word. What a fun trip down memory lane! Kreig is such a sweet lady- a true lady ♥️
I thought I was the only one who can do that! lol
My friends get a kick out of it. Some just stare in amazement.
You would never see a commercial like that today😂
I am so glad I clicked on this. Was refreshing watching something with so much fun energy. Kreig made me smile the whole time. 😊
She handled the opening name stuff like a PRO!!!
Awesome! Thanks for posting such a fun story! And by the way just for kicks, that $499 microwave in 1979 - that's equivalent to $2,055 today. They were a real luxury item at the time.
Back then they lasted for 20 years or more as well! I know my parents had one since 80 and paid about 500 for it!
My parents bought there Radarange microwave in 1981 and they still have the dang thing. It’s 41 years old! I’ve had at least 4 microwaves myself in the last 10 years. Lol. They don’t make them like that anymore :)
Yep.. we had one in 1976.I don’t know anyone else that had one at the time. We had a lot of foster children and Our mom cooked most of the meals in it. Including meat.Yuck. Tasted
Ike chew toys.A lot of the times it was horrible food. ..But it was quicker.😅
@@vanessahenry7238I have a large one from Sears. I don’t know how old it is but it came with the house that we bought six years ago. It’s still working fine.
@@thaismatsumoto Yeah, microwaved meat is pretty bad! "Baked" potatoes too.
Thanks, Beau! That was beautiful, your mom is beautiful. My happy tears for the day provided by a lovely girl from Plain Old, Texas. ❤
Exactly how my wife was chosen to be a contestant in 1987! The 'line interviewer' asked her, "So what's it like being the mother of four children?" My wife replied, "If you're a mom, you already know!" Yep, she was asked to "... come on down!" She won several appliances and a trip for two!!!! (A couple of months later, we VCR'd the show.) Obtw, we had to declare the winnings on our taxes.
Delightful lady. I was apprehensive that it was a tragic story. She deserves that car. Every man deserves a wife like that.
Perhaps every man desires a woman like her, but sure as hell not every man deserves one!
If only we could bring those days back. Awesome memories watching this video when life seemed a bit simpler and less complicated.
For sure, before we had treatments for most cancer, racism was even more prevalent and you didn't have instant access to the sum of human knowledge from your pocket. Not to mention the other massive quality of life improvements to humanity since then.
Yeah, let's bring those times back. Fuck me.
I hope you have a southern accent, cause I read your comment with one. (It wasn't a fake one, either, because I've got one, too!😁)
Lol, anyway, I was born in '71, (proud Gen Xer!) and I agree with you 100%! My daddy was a career Navy man, so we grew up in Navy housing until I started 9th grade when he retired, so we were sheltered just a little bit more than average. I know things were starting to change, but back then we had no idea...
Until we heard about poor Adam Walsh. We happened to be stationed in Orlando when it happened. I can tell you, all my little friends and I were terrified. I had just turned 10, 9 days before he was taken. I even remember my mom being upset about it all. Then, 2 years later I turned 12 and started Jr. High in 7th grade, (I don't think there were middle schools yet. If there were, I had never heard of them in all the different places I'd ever lived) and it was the first time I was going to a school that wasn't all military kids. I was absolutely traumatized for the next 2 years after what I saw on the way to school on my bus. We were less than 1\4 mile from the school when I looked out my window and saw 2 girls who were supposed to be walking to school, on the ground. One girl was on her back, the other sitting on top of her pounding her face in with both fists! I remember exactly what I was saying to myself, and how I felt, like it was yesterday!
This is waaay too long and nobody cares, so I'mma just stop here. Sorry! 😁
And at the time who knew? Who knew that was peak USA
I keep coming back to watch this because it puts a smile on my face every time! She is just so sweet, and so pretty, and she has such big beautiful doe-like eyes, and her accent is so cute she just puts a big smile on my face. What an adorable woman Beau is so lucky to have a mother like her she is truly one of God's creatures.
Price is Right had to be one of the best tv game shows ever created. I mean nothing got the family gathered around like this show did. Absolutely blessed to have been a kid growing up during these years of our lives, when society was predominantly good and television was educational and entertaining. A better world for us back then
It was better. I grew up then, people were better then. Now we just have a bunch of obnoxious hypocrites pretending to be moral
@@JeanLucLaforgeEsq not that the world felt a better place back then , but it was a better place than todays garage ass society. Technology/internet etc…. Has ruined the world.
Yep miss ol Bob barker n the beauties
Not only Price is Right but just all entertainment was better back then. Nothing better than gathering around for your weekly tv show. Also, the same with your favorite band. There was no instant access like there is today so when a new magazine came out or a tv interview, it was super exciting. I tried to tell my daughter how things were more exciting back in the day. She said it would be annoying to have to wait. But we didn’t know any different and the build up, waiting for the things we enjoyed, made it so much better when it did come around.
@@noahgabriel210 it sure was better back then than in todays society.
I was worried this was going to be some kind of horror story, but it was just a sweet lady who won a prize. This is the first video I watched this year. I hope it’s an example of what’s to come
how long have been married? Two years . How old are the kids? 5 and 2. It was nice he did not miss a beat and kept on going. I too thought something horrible was going to happen.
Right in these days i thought same thing like a gunman entered so sad we first come to these conclusions
😂 me too, I was like nothing's happening 🤣 Well Hello 2023
Thanks for your comment. I thought same thing and checked comments first to see if I could find out before watching it lol. Such a cute story!
I thought the same thing too but she won a few good things
Kreig was stunning...and she still is in this interview. She came across as a real lady.
Beauty and charm in one package. A true lady.
Kreig sure gots a booty for a white gurl...just saying.
What's a real lady?
Funny lady too
@@starshipcaptain4753 this one
Went to this studio when in the service. They were doing a Memorial day show so the whole audience was active service. During commercials someone brought out a stool for Bob Barker to sit on & he would just talk to the whole audience. Turns out he was a Navy pilot back in the day. Just a great guy & a gentleman. This would have been around 1991 or 92.
Kreig is just the sweetest soul you can tell…& that’s why she was picked to play.
I hope she is still well and wonderful today somewhere ‘winning’ at life. 🤍
Seeing Bob Barker and Kreig Teague interact was the most wholesome thing I’ve seen in years on UA-cam.
Beau, thank you for sharing your Mom’s wonderful moment with us.
Mrs. Teague is as cute and nice today as she was back then. Husband Stephen and their children couldn't have a sweeter wife/mother. What a great story, thanks for sharing.
Don't you miss this??? It was actually exciting watching this show!
How awesome for this son to have a video of his parents, young and experiencing one of the most exciting moments of their life.
Beautiful story. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
The world would be a better place with more Kreig's in it. Such a nice story, thanks for sharing it with the world!
That's what you would think, but I have this type of attitude and I've been asked several times "Why are you so "F" happy all the time?" or "How could you be so happy with all the mess going on?". I just shake my head and move along. I try to keep as much distance from people as possible these days because my positive vibe angers people for some reason. It's so nice to come across other happy people.
The world should be full of ladies like Kreig. An absolutely awesome lady.
@David Armstrong especially men. Most men aren’t even close to be physically fit anymore. Just flabby, gross asshats who complain about everything.
The world should also be full of men who are classy and handsome. They are sorely missing in this world. Men have ruined this world.
@David Armstrong kinda true. I grew up near plano, and all the women down there used to be gourgeous, easy to find beuties, but all that's changed since so many others moved to that area in the last 30+ years.
And the thin ones don’t want you 👀
@@winedoesthetrick4387 I am slim and handsome
Oh this was wonderful. Thank you for sharing this story with us. Kreig is an absolute joy and I really appreciated you keeping the old commercials in there too!
Total time capsule!
Thanks for including the Calgon commercial. That one ran for several years, and even now, all these years later, I can quote it verbatim, with timing, tone, and timbre. Stupid that a commercial can bring back such pleasant childhood memories, but that it did.
Remember the one for the dish soap? "Ancient Chinese Secret?" Calgon water softener? Today it was be "bad," but seriously, I met a woman who had that accent recently. So, now it's like everyone has that same Midwest broadcast voice accent if you only watch media
Sure wouldn’t be shown today! 🤣😂
As a big fan of The Price Is Right, I find this story fascinating! I graduated from high school in 1979 so the time and the items peaked my interest. And the lady was so engaging. Just makes you think of simpler and wholesome times.
☝️ agreed
The times weren't innocent, the years have dulled your memory.....
@@coffeenow2382 No, the times were innocent. At least, for me they were.
As a class of ‘79 person myself, I agree!
"The Machines" =Humanity's (ever closer) Destruction!!......😣
Here we all are in 2020’s expecting this story to down spiral (me included) but so shocked it’s just a fresh happy experience. Wow how cool is that. Made me really think how jaded we all have become-always expectations of drama. 😢 maybe more wholesome content like this will cause a shift in our world back towards those days of a simple fun love each other life.❤❤😊
One can only hope, Lori!
right? i was so disappointed....er, pleased.
haha exactly. I was fast forwarding to the big reveal. but nothing .just a fun show with a nice lady. my bad
I remember when stories like this was the norm..but it feels like a dream now.
Wow good old days classic American cars not this Honda / Toyota liberal cars
I loved this story!!!! She just warms my heart. What a beautiful energy. Thank you for sharing this 🙏
That big microwave reminds me of my first one. We were expecting our first baby & my in-laws bought us one for Christmas 1979. I was thrilled.😍🍼
Fun story. Your mom seems like such a sweetheart. Your dad was so excited. What a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing!
😆 You can see her husband’s face when she wins flashes “Oh my gosh! She actually won it!” LOL
Honestly, I was waiting for some scandalous moment throughout the video, but still enjoyed it thoroughly! So many memories of my childhood flood into my mind when I see the old Price Is Right shows. 1979 was a glorious year for me a kid. Kreig was not only adorable, but so intriguing with her subtle style! :)
Same!!
Me too im glad Im not the only one
Me 3 😆
Same!!!
Me too.
I remember this. She was so adorable! I'm glad she won, and that she is still so amazing ❤️
What a sweet and beautiful lady. I am so happy she won the car. Bob was probably thinking NO WAY did that just happen! Thank you Beau for sharing this sweet wholesome story of your Mom.
Everything about this made my day, the hubs cheering her on and all. Beau, what a great life you've had w/these parents. 🙂❤️
Awesome story! Glad you won. I married my wife in 1979 while in the Air Force. We always watched the Price is Right at the Fire Dept where I worked during lunch breaks. Nice! I’m sure I saw this one since I’m from Texas and new where Plano was.
What a great story, and what a perfect ending! The delivery guy for your prize recognized you from your episode! Amazing!
I don't know how this video got recommended to me by UA-cam but I am glad it did. You're obviously the 5 year old Beau from the video! Thanks for putting this great video together. Your mom sounds like the sweetest person ever. Love the whole behind the scenes stuff and her talking about her thought process throughout.
Ditto. 2nd video I've watched in 2023 and I have zero clue as why it was recommended! Crazy thing is, I now live on the property my grandparents owned. Every Saturday during the summer visits, me and my grandmother would watch TPIR and Soul Train. She would crack up alllll the time because I ALWAYS knew when the announcer would say.......A NEW CAAARRRR! 🥂 Happy New Year. Thanks to the son for uploading !
Same !
Same same!
I could care less how this wonderfulness found it’s way onto my suggestions but I’m so glad it did.🎉
@@GuadalupeGuacamole I DO hear you. And I think, we all have connection to the show, watching the show. Will never (because I can't) speaking for everyone, who found this post. This video. SO Random! Somehow, someway WE connected. Word.

Kreig is a product of good parenting. What a sweetheart.
An absolutely lovely story. Thank you UA-cam. Thank you Beau. And especially thank you Kreig (and Stephen)
Beau, your mom is a freaking national treasure! Thank you for uploading this!
When I read the title of this video clip, I thought this was a story about her having a bad experience as a contestant on this game show, and it was just the opposite.
It's fun to look at the old cars from 1979 from the Price is Right.
I'm happy for her that she won a car on the show, and seeing her husband excited was pure joy. XO
Wow! I was 11 years old when this aired. I was instantly transported back in time to what seemed to be such an innocent era. I realize the world was full of problems but when you’re that age you have no real responsibilities which makes life seem simple. Thanks for the post.
just don't watch the main steam news
When was this aired
@@jamescollier3Main steam news: Back before there was electricity.
In the description it says 1979, and toward the end of the video she refers to the show being taped around Memorial Day.
I used to watch TPiR with my grandma all of the time. She was one of the most genuinely sweet persons that I have ever known and I miss her dearly ❤️
The sweetest young woman turned out to be the sweetest adult woman. What a great story and memory! 👍
I thought this was going to end in horror, but I’m glad it didn’t, it was so earnest and sweet. I’m glad I watched it.
This is quite literally one of the greatest stories ever told. 🤗
This was excellent, I can remember like it was yesterday watching 👀 The Price is Right back in 79 and the calgon commercial just brought all of the memories home. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Looks like she has an Instagram account and has self-published a book on parenting. She seems like a clear-eyed, kind-hearted, grounded woman. Our nation needs more people like her.
I was thinking the same what a genuine human being,in the best way possible!!❤
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ What is it I have to repent for?
Totally agree 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✅
AGREE 💯👍💯
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ - Stop shoving your demented, nonsensical BS down everyone’s throats.
I miss game shows, 1970's sitcoms, the commercials, and times that we didn't realize at the time of how much simpler the world was compared to current times. Thank you for sharing this nostalgic piece of your lives.
Thanks for sharing Beau. Such a sweet story.
My Mom was on a game-show in 1970 called "Three on a Match," hosted by Bill Cullen (best known for hosting The Joker's Wild). She was the big winner, winning a sailboat, pool table, hi-fi stereo, vacation for 2 to St. Thomas, a BBQ, and a long-time supply of Creamettes, a brand of macaroni. My parents took the vacation to St. Thomas, kept the stereo and BBQ (Charbroil), and sold the sailboat and pool table to pay the taxes for the rest of the prizes. My mom is Italian, and Creamettes was not a brand of pasta that was up to snuff (I believe we were a Ronzoni family then), so my mom would only use the pasta when she'd bring pasta salad to picnics. It took us 16 years to make our way through that pasta.
I was less than 1 year old when my Mom was on the show. There were no VCRs back then. I believe my Uncle took a film of the TV when the episode broadcast, the kind that you run through a film projector, but I never saw the episode, which would have been nice.
Later she tried out to appear on Wheel of Fortune. Apparently, the try-out process involves traveling to a location and being given a bunch of word puzzles to solve. According to my mom, she was the only one in her "class" to get all the puzzles correct, but alas, she never got the call to appear on the show, and her gameshow career stalled at her one appearance from 1970.
I remember growing up and the Price is Right always being on the TV every week day, late morning on the east coast. Can't believe the show is still running so many decades later. Bob Barker was born to entertain.
Krieg as a fellow contestant I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that! You were delightful and I can see why they cast you. I feel like all of us that have shared that experience are part of a special club. I was on in 2015 so thanks to Social Media I have remained friends with several of the other contestants I was on with. Thanks to you and your husband for sharing!
I have a question from when you were on the show. If you won anything, did you have to pay the sales tax for items won plus the income taxes for the market retail value of the prizes you won before you got to collect your prizes?. I'm asking out of curiosity because a friend once told me that you could not get the prizes won until the sales taxes were paid and if you could not afford to do so you forfeit the prizes and they would use them in other shows, plus that you have to claim the full retail value of prizes won on your income tax return?. Asking out of curiosity.
@@shaynad41 I have heard the same thing, and I think that is just horrible, and very sad. A very low income person (for example) wins a car, but can't collect the prize, because they can't afford to pay the tax for the car.
I'm pretty sure they will give you the cash equivilant, minus taxes, if you choose.
@@shaynad41 I heard about that when Oprah gave everyone in her audience a car. Many declined because it put them in a higher tax bracket and I think it happens with a cash bonus as well. The government always takes the joy out of life!!!!
@@shaynad41 yeah. I’m sure they have to pay. It’s like someone handing you 50k in cash. Technically you have to pay taxes on that gift or not.
I seriously smiled through this entire video. OMG it's precious. Thanks for sharing.
I think this is the story we all needed.... what a nice change for once to something lovely.
This was really fun! Born in 1965, I grew up watching The Price Is Right daily--for all I know, I saw this episode when it aired in the late 70s. Also, I've been on a reality TV show, and I know how strange it can be to discover yourself on camera, being seen by a huge audience that you can't see, and you only get to see it yourself later. So it was fascinating hearing your parents tell their own back-story! Thank you for sharing, and congrats to your folks.
I'm a '65 also ... This show impressed on me the importance of 'KNOWING' prices. everyONE knew it wasn't a 'random' selection but it was a GREAT SHOW.
Everything about this is absolutely precious.
I love this story. I’m so glad this was shared with all of us.
I can't believe how much I enjoyed watching this. Now I want to see more videos like this. The late 70s and early 80s were the best times, for me anyway.
Even millennials and gen z hated the 2010s.
Same for me only the 80’s and 90’s ✨
Yep !! 70's and 80's were the absolute best times to grow up in !!!!!!
Yes me too!
I love the old "Password" game show. They are available on UA-cam! Have fun! ♡
Watching this was like a phone call to my elderly great aunt and listening to her tell me a story. Wish I could give her a call one more time.
I clicked on this expecting it to be some scandalous or monumental story about the show, but this was a million times better. Such a sweet and charming lead, such simple joy, and a reminder of how many of our small moments deserve documentary treatment.
That is so neat! And the fact that you all will always have this experience on video because of a kind neighbor too share with your future kids and the world now is just awesome! Your parents are too cute ❤️
No doubt, one of the best videos on UA-cam. Just a great story about a very likable couple.
Oh Beau - what a lucky guy you are to have Kreig as your Mother. Bob was right, what a sweet lady.
What a wonderful story. I could have listened to your mother for hours.
Good job!
Didn't expect to watch an old price is right show tonight.
Didn't expect to smile so big, so often and so long either.
Simpler times.
