- Johnny looks at superstitions and folk remedies. Jonathan Winters (album "The Little Prince"); Susan Sarandon (The Front Page (1974)); investigative columnist Jack Anderson discusses the Watergate scandal.
- Johnny and Ed discuss their experiences with hot air ballooning, and Ed mentions his recent appointment as a goodwill ambassador for Fort Lauderdale. Johnny then reads some entries from the book "Cross Your Fingers, Spit in Your Hat: Superstitions and Other Beliefs", about superstitions and folk remedies, followed by a number of others that were overlooked. Jonathan Winters displays some of his artwork that he is selling - mainly several ink drawings, with a decidedly surrealistic tendency; he talks about his admiration for Salvador Dalí, Paul Klee and René Magritte. He comments on his basement in Ohio, which often floods, and he and Johnny recall shoveling coal as children. Winters then discusses working on the album "The Little Prince" with Richard Burton, and then he and Johnny talk about family vacations; Johnny recalls his father driving from Nebraska to the west coast and southwest, looping through Utah, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Arizona and Colorado on a two-week trip in 1936. Jack Anderson talks at great length about the Watergate investigation, focusing on money transferred from Howard Hughes to President Nixon's confidant Bebe Rebozo; he discusses the legal situation of Nixon's inner circle of advisors, and comments on the increasing possibility of impeachment. Susan Sarandon then comes on; Johnny is apparently unaware of her political leanings, and somewhat expects her to present an opposing view defending Nixon, but is surprised when she takes an even more anti-Nixon attitude, as she mentions sending the president a hostile letter. Sarandon also talks about recent personal issues - her home was burglarized, then struck by lightning, and her cat was hit by a car. She then discusses two of her upcoming movies - The Great Waldo Pepper, in which she had difficult stunt work as a barnstorming airplane wing walker, and The Front Page, a remake of the 1930s film.
