Ed Vitagliano: Good morning, professors. Welcome to Trivia Friday. It is Friday, November 6. We are headed directly toward Thanksgiving. I am sitting in for Tim Wildmon today, and I am joined in the studio by Bert Harper.
Bert Harper: Good morning, Ed. It is good to be with you.
Ed Vitagliano: So if you are taking Tim's place, I am taking your place?
Bert Harper: You are taking my place.
Ed Vitagliano: Okay, I got you. We do not necessarily make sense here on the show.
Ed Vitagliano: And J.J. Jasper, the pride of Owensboro, Kentucky. Good morning.
J.J. Jasper: Good morning.
J.J. Jasper: Absolute research just came out to see how long it takes different breeds of guard dogs to make a decision and attack. German shepherds take four seconds. Dobermans take three seconds. Pit bulls take two seconds. An English bulldog takes 10 to 14 business days.
Ed Vitagliano: That is slow.
J.J. Jasper: You have to trust the research. Ten to 14 business days.
Ed Vitagliano: Folks, if you are just tuning in for the first time, we have a little fun on Fridays. This is a trivia show, hence the name Trivia Friday. We needed this week.
Bert Harper: Oh, yes, we did.
Ed Vitagliano: The number to call if you want to get on the program with us is 888-589-8840. Each of us is going to ask three trivia questions. We invite you to call in and answer one of them, ask us a question to try to stump the panel, or do both.
Ed Vitagliano: We do ask that if you have been on the air with us here on Trivia Friday in the last eight weeks, you wait a week because we like to get as many people on the air as possible. We also ask that you be 11 years old or older.
Ed Vitagliano: J.J., one of these original nine questions is special. What is special about it?
J.J. Jasper: Out of our original nine, one is a mystery question. If you happen to land on it and answer it correctly, you will hear the beloved cowbell.
Ed Vitagliano: And that means you win yourself a nice Learning University T-shirt. It is hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner. If you do not win a T-shirt, you can go to our store and get one. We have mugs, caps, DVDs, books, and all sorts of things that are priced well. It is a good resource, and it helps the ministry. Go to resources.afa.net.
Bert Harper: As J.J. typically says this time of year, getting a T-shirt for a fan of the show is a great stocking stuffer. There are also Bible helps, video resources, mugs, and all kinds of other materials.
J.J. Jasper: We have one kitchen sink left. One kitchen sink is all we have.
Ed Vitagliano: I think that is all the housekeeping we need to go over. It is time to get to our questions. I will go first, Brother Bert, and you follow. J.J., you will be third.
Ed Vitagliano: In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod? Second, Winfield Scott was one of two American generals who served in three wars. Who was the other one? Third, how long does a typical one-dollar bill survive before becoming too worn out to keep in circulation? Is it 18 months, 24 months, three years, or six years?
Bert Harper: I have a Bible question as well. In the New Testament, who was the first recorded Christian convert in Europe? Next, what is the name of the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show? I will make that multiple choice: “My Small Town,” “Come Along with Me,” or “The Fishing Hole.” One of those is the answer. Finally, since you already mentioned Thanksgiving, we know the Pilgrims came to America on the Mayflower. What was the name of the other ship they were on that had to turn back to England because it was not seaworthy?
J.J. Jasper: Three of the four Gospels in the Bible are called the Synoptic Gospels, meaning they recount many of the same events and can be carefully studied side by side. Which Gospel is not one of the Synoptic Gospels? Second, in which year during the Summer Olympics did swimmer Mark Spitz win seven gold medals? Third, what percent of a peanut is fat? Is it 10 percent, 25 percent, or 50 percent?
J.J. Jasper: I also have a peanut joke. What would a husband peanut tell his wife peanut? That it makes her look fat.
Ed Vitagliano: I do not know what you had going on there, but we are tracking you.
J.J. Jasper: When we grew peanuts, I loved getting a shell that had three peanuts in it. That was fun.
Bert Harper: That is like finding a five-dollar bill in your winter coat when you get it out of the closet.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to the phones. We will start in Ohio with John. John, thank you for calling.
John: Hello.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Ohio are you from?
John: Right in the middle, from Shelby.
Ed Vitagliano: Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
John: I will do both.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question are you going to try to answer?
John: The one about which apostle was beheaded.
Ed Vitagliano: In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod?
John: John the Baptist.
Ed Vitagliano: John was not an apostle, but you are correct that he was beheaded. Good try. What is your question for us?
John: How do you hide an elephant in a cherry tree?
J.J. Jasper: You paint its toenails red.
John: That is part of it.
J.J. Jasper: I have had a lot of elephants, and that is where we hid them as children.
Ed Vitagliano: What is the rest of the answer?
John: So you never see one in the cherry tree.
Ed Vitagliano: No. What else do you have to do besides painting its toenails red?
John: That was the part about never seeing one in the cherry tree.
Ed Vitagliano: All right, John. Somebody told the truth about George Washington cutting down the cherry tree.
John: He did that.
Ed Vitagliano: He did. Have a great weekend, John. Thanks for listening to AFR.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Rachel in Kansas. Rachel, thank you for calling.
Rachel: Hello.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Kansas are you from?
Rachel: I am originally from a little town halfway between Topeka and Manhattan, but I am actually living in Atchison now.
Ed Vitagliano: Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Rachel: I will do both.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Rachel: The one about the Pilgrims' ship that had to turn back.
Bert Harper: We know the Pilgrims came to America on the Mayflower. What was the name of the other ship that had to turn back to England because it was not seaworthy?
Rachel: It was the Speedwell.
Ed Vitagliano: That is right. You went right out of the gate. Do you know what the name means?
Rachel: I get to teach Learning University.
Ed Vitagliano: That is our latest design. It has only been out for about three months.
Rachel: I have been calling in for about 13 years. The first time I called was in September 2013.
Ed Vitagliano: You have a good memory. You keep a good diary.
Rachel: I sure do.
Ed Vitagliano: Congratulations, Rachel. You won yourself a Learning University T-shirt. Great job answering the question.
Bert Harper: The Speedwell turned back, and some of those who were on it got on the Mayflower, which made the Mayflower more overcrowded than they had planned. Some stayed back, and it made the journey difficult.
Ed Vitagliano: The Speedwell stayed home, and the Mayflower came on. Did you learn that in school?
Rachel: I do not remember learning it in school. I learned it from a documentary that Kirk Cameron did back in about 2012. It covered where the Pilgrims came from.
Ed Vitagliano: That was a monumental film. Kirk Cameron does a great job. Make sure you stay on the line so we can get your T-shirt size and address. What is your question for us?
Rachel: I am a veterinary technician, so I am taking you into my world. Something we stress to people quite a lot is the importance of heartworm prevention. My question is, how are heartworms spread, and about how long does it take for them to reach maturity from the initial infection?
J.J. Jasper: It is spread by secondhand smoke. Have you ever caught a cat or dog smoking cigarettes? If you have them, smoke them, but that is not good for any kind of pet. It is not good for people, and it is not good for pets.
Bert Harper: Rachel, you see what we put up with here on the show every Friday. That was quick-witted.
Rachel: My daughter is a veterinary technician. Does that count?
Bert Harper: That does not give me the right answer, but you can get a couple of extra points. Maybe she will grade you on a curve because you are in the care group.
Ed Vitagliano: I do know that my wife and my daughter have two dogs between them, and they are very careful about heartworm medicine. I think heartworms are in the grass or somewhere in the ground, but I may be thinking of parvo.
Rachel: Heartworms are spread through mosquitoes. When mosquitoes take a blood meal, they transfer the larvae into the bloodstream. It can take up to six months from the initial infection for mature worms to develop in the heart. That is why we stress that heartworm prevention is important. Even if you are not seeing mosquitoes in January, your pet could have been exposed back in June.
Ed Vitagliano: Was I right about parvo? Is that something that is in the ground that they can catch?
Rachel: They can pick it up out of the ground. They can also pick up leptospirosis from the ground and get it from stagnant water. Mostly, it is from infected urine or something like that.
J.J. Jasper: That is why I do not shower with stagnant water.
Ed Vitagliano: That is a good point. You always go downstream.
J.J. Jasper: All the things you mentioned, plus non-filtered Camel cigarettes. I am going to put that on the postscript.
Ed Vitagliano: Rachel, I am going to put you on hold, and Cindy Roberts will get your information. Congratulations on getting the Learning University T-shirt and answering a second question right out of the gate.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to North Carolina and talk to Jonathan. Jonathan, thank you for calling.
Jonathan: Good morning, professors. How are you today?
Ed Vitagliano: We are doing well. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Jonathan: I would like to do both, if that can be arranged.
Ed Vitagliano: It can be arranged. Which question do you want to try to answer?
Jonathan: I would like to answer the question about the general.
Ed Vitagliano: Winfield Scott was one of two American generals who served in three wars. Who was the other one?
Jonathan: That would be Douglas MacArthur.
Ed Vitagliano: Nicely done.
Bert Harper: Winfield Scott served in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War. Douglas MacArthur served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.
Ed Vitagliano: That was not an easy question. How did you know that?
Jonathan: I am fascinated by Douglas MacArthur. I have written a couple of papers about him and read some books about his life.
Ed Vitagliano: That is great. President Truman let him go during the Korean War, and that was controversial.
Jonathan: When I was growing up, there were people who loved Douglas MacArthur and people who hated him. He was one or the other.
Ed Vitagliano: I like how Arnold Schwarzenegger quoted him.
Jonathan: I was wondering if any of you knew what President Truman's middle name was.
Ed Vitagliano: Harry S. Truman.
Bert Harper: I think he did not have a middle name. It was just an initial that he added.
Jonathan: He did not have a middle name, just the initial. He said both of his grandfathers would think he was named after them.
Bert Harper: My mother did not have a middle name either. She was born in Greece and lived there under Nazi occupation. When she came to this country after the war, they gave her a middle initial, but it did not actually stand for anything. It stood for no name.
Ed Vitagliano: Years ago, I used this as a trivia question. No passenger on the Mayflower had a middle initial.
Bert Harper: That is a pretty new thing.
Ed Vitagliano: I think Ulysses S. Grant's S was added to his as well, although I am not guaranteeing that.
Bert Harper: Ulysses S. Grant's middle name was Simpson, but it was a corruption of his real name. His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant, and it got confused with his younger brother, whose name was Simpson.
Ed Vitagliano: I am loving your accent. Where are you originally from?
Jonathan: I am originally from South Carolina, but my mom is from South Africa, and I picked up her accent.
Ed Vitagliano: Yes, you did. Does anybody in the family know Elon Musk? He is from South Africa.
Jonathan: He did not say South Africa, but no, we do not know him.
Ed Vitagliano: Thank you, Jonathan. We appreciate it.
Ed Vitagliano: We have time for one more before the break. Mark in Virginia, also known as the Birdman.
Mark: Hello, professor.
Ed Vitagliano: Mark is a frequent caller and usually has some birds tweeting in the background. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Mark: Both, please.
Ed Vitagliano: Which one do you want to answer?
Mark: I would like to answer the one about the Gospels.
Ed Vitagliano: Three of the four Gospels in the Bible are called Synoptic Gospels, meaning they recount many of the same events and can be carefully studied side by side. Which Gospel is not one of the Synoptic Gospels?
Mark: That would be John.
Ed Vitagliano: Nicely done.
Bert Harper: That reminds me of a story. Jan and I have a camper, and we were down in southern Louisiana doing a family revival. They had four cabins available, and I asked what their names were. They said, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Bob.”
Ed Vitagliano: That is funny. I am glad Bob was not the best choice for John. That is the Gospel of Bob.
J.J. Jasper: A lot of people have not even heard of the Synoptic Gospels, Mark. Good job. What is your question for us?
Mark: In which John Wayne movie was he shown without his hair?
Ed Vitagliano: He had a hairpiece?
Mark: Yes.
Bert Harper: He was bald?
Ed Vitagliano: I did not know that.
Bert Harper: When he was on his yacht, he did not wear his hairpiece, and people were shocked.
Ed Vitagliano: I once went to one of the NRB or CMB gatherings. They selected a group of us to go on a special trip, and we got on John Wayne's yacht off the coast of California. We did not see a hairpiece, though. It was a true story, and Kay Arthur and her husband were there too.
J.J. Jasper: What movie was it?
Mark: North to Alaska.
Ed Vitagliano: North to Alaska. I do not think I have ever seen that.
Bert Harper: I would be disturbed to see him without a full head of hair. I had no idea that was true.
Ed Vitagliano: All right, Mark. Thanks a bunch, brother. Say hi to the birds for us.
Mark: Thank you.
Ed Vitagliano: Folks, we are going to take a short break. When we come back, we will reset our questions and go back to the phones.
Ed Vitagliano: Trivia Friday continues here on American Family Radio. Ed Vitagliano, J.J. Jasper, and Bert Harper.
Ed Vitagliano: Welcome back to Trivia Friday. J.J. is going to tell us what he has coming up.
J.J. Jasper: Next Friday, November 13, I will be at Elkhorn Baptist Church in Campbellsville, Kentucky, for the Hope Pregnancy Center of Taylor County. I am traveling with my 11-year-old son, Bodie, who has Down syndrome. Because it is a pregnancy resource center, I want people to see that when a woman finds out through prenatal testing that she has a child with Down syndrome, around 90 percent abort the baby. Maybe they do not think the child will have a good quality of life. I am bringing Bodie as proof of the pudding.
J.J. Jasper: He has so much joy. He is sweet and innocent, makes us laugh every day, and is very talented. This is the first time I am taking him with me. It is a ticketed event. You can find the flyer with all the information on my Facebook page, JJ Jasper Official. I would appreciate your prayers. It is a fundraiser for Hope Pregnancy Center.
Bert Harper: The Lord really uses these pregnancy centers. We always encourage people here at AFA and AFR to get their churches involved. A lot of times churches do not even know there is a pregnancy center in their community.
J.J. Jasper: Find out if you have one. Maybe the Lord will put it on your heart to start one, and then get JJ Jasper in for a fundraiser.
Bert Harper: The Lord blesses when J.J. goes out and does these events. It is something he feels called to do.
J.J. Jasper: You can go to JJ Jasper Official on Facebook or JJ Jasper.com. This is the third time they have had me come to Campbellsville. I get sick of myself, but I do not know why they are not sick of me. That is one more reason I am bringing Bodie. I say I am bringing him for show and tell. My wife and daughter say that is tacky, but if I get tired, he can help me drive.
Ed Vitagliano: I do not mind a little tacky. That is kind of what guys do.
Ed Vitagliano: We are going to reset our questions. I have had one answered, so I will add one to my original questions. In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod? Someone gave a good guess and said John the Baptist, but John the Baptist was not an apostle. How long does a typical one-dollar bill survive before becoming too worn out to keep in circulation? Is it 18 months, 24 months, three years, or six years? Finally, what ancient Greek physician was known as the father of medicine?
Bert Harper: In the New Testament, who was the first recorded Christian convert in Europe? The Apostle Paul being called into Europe changed the world. The second question is, what is the name of the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show? The tune had no words, but everybody knows it. The choices are “My Small Town,” “Come Along with Me,” and “The Fishing Hole.” I am also adding this question and staying with television in the 1960s: What town do Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty live in?
J.J. Jasper: I saw a funny meme today. Somebody said that when people say, “I remember back 30 years ago,” they immediately think of the 1970s. Then they realize that 30 years ago was 1996.
Ed Vitagliano: That is depressing.
J.J. Jasper: My first question is, in which year during the Summer Olympics did swimmer Mark Spitz win seven gold medals? Second, what percentage of a peanut is fat? Is it 10 percent, 25 percent, or 50 percent? Third, which word follows Juliet, Kilo, and Lima? What is the next word?
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Oklahoma and talk to Matt. Matt, thank you for calling.
Matt: Yes, sir. How are you guys doing?
Ed Vitagliano: We are doing well. Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
Matt: I will do both.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question?
Matt: The first European convert.
Ed Vitagliano: In the New Testament, who was the first recorded Christian convert in Europe?
Matt: I believe that would be Lydia.
Ed Vitagliano: Nicely done. That is good Christian history.
Bert Harper: I thought it might be Cornelius, so I looked it up.
Ed Vitagliano: That was a good first guess, but Lydia is correct. You think about Lydia, a seller of purple. They did not have a synagogue, so they met down by the creek. Paul always went to the synagogues first, but when there was not one, he went down to the creek bank. Lydia received him, her whole household got right with God, and they had a revival in Philippi.
Bert Harper: And you have the book of Philippians too.
Matt: I am from Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Ed Vitagliano: I thought you were a country music fan. What was the song about the little green plant where he said, “We do not smoke it here”?
Matt: There is a dispensary on just about every corner downtown.
Ed Vitagliano: That is terrible. If he saw a mural of his face with Bob Marley, I think he would roll in his grave.
Bert Harper: That is also one of the worst smells around.
Ed Vitagliano: It is. I cannot stand it.
Matt: You opened with Yosemite Sam, and it got me thinking about when Bugs Bunny was running from Elmer Fudd and called him a name that came from Scripture. He called him Nimrod, the mighty hunter.
Ed Vitagliano: That is right. That was pure sarcasm on Bugs Bunny's part.
Bert Harper: When I was growing up in New England, which was not a particularly churchgoing or biblically literate part of the country, we used to call people Nimrod as an insult. I do not know whether that came from the Bible or Bugs Bunny, but we would say, “Do not be such a Nimrod.”
Ed Vitagliano: We were probably more familiar with Bugs Bunny than we were with the Bible.
J.J. Jasper: That other Old Testament character, Doofus.
Ed Vitagliano: A lot of people have misused that name and taken it in vain.
Bert Harper: Doofus.
Ed Vitagliano: Thanks, Matt. Have a great weekend.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Ohio and talk to Clarissa. Clarissa, thank you for calling. Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
Clarissa: I would like to answer, please.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Clarissa: The Andy Griffith question.
Ed Vitagliano: Are you a fan?
Clarissa: Definitely.
Ed Vitagliano: What is the name of the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show? The choices are “My Small Town,” “Come Along with Me,” and “The Fishing Hole.”
Clarissa: “The Fishing Hole.”
Ed Vitagliano: That is it.
Clarissa: I remembered it when you gave the three choices.
Bert Harper: They are walking down the path, and he throws the rock in.
Ed Vitagliano: Good job, Clarissa. What is your question for us?
Clarissa: Is it true or false that Ron Howard directed the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
Ed Vitagliano: We are going to talk amongst ourselves, so do not say yes or no. I am guessing that since you are asking it, it is probably true. Ron Howard became quite a director.
Bert Harper: With Jim Carrey and The Grinch, that turned into a Christmas classic. It seems like we would remember that.
Ed Vitagliano: When you hear Ron Howard, he was more fascinated by what was going on behind the camera than he was in front of it. He was interested in directing even as a kid, so I am going to say true.
J.J. Jasper: I will say false just to be a dissenter.
Ed Vitagliano: All right, who is right, Clarissa?
Clarissa: It is true.
Ed Vitagliano: That is something. When you look at the list of movies he directed, he has had quite a career. The people who came off The Andy Griffith Show, including Don Knotts and Ron Howard, went on to do significant things beyond the show itself.
Bert Harper: Otis was the voice of Mr. Whitaker on Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey.
Ed Vitagliano: That is right. Thank you, Clarissa. Have a great weekend.
Ed Vitagliano: Tim, thank you for calling. Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
Tim: I would like to do both.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Oklahoma are you from?
Tim: Southeast Oklahoma, right down in the corner, close to Texas, near Broken Bow.
Ed Vitagliano: Close to where Where the Red Fern Grows was set. Have you seen that movie?
Tim: Sure.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Tim: The one about the apostle.
Ed Vitagliano: In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod?
Tim: James the Great.
Ed Vitagliano: That is it. Acts chapter 12, verse 2.
Bert Harper: I learned something. Someone sent me a book of Bible trivia, and I saw that question. I remembered that Acts said he was killed with the sword. The book said he was beheaded, so I looked it up. It is universally understood that when the Roman Empire executed someone with the sword, that meant beheading. It was a military method of execution.
Ed Vitagliano: Was this James the half brother of Jesus?
Bert Harper: No, he was not an apostle.
Ed Vitagliano: Right. It was James, the brother of John. When you look at the 12 apostles and what happened to some of them, there are things we know, but a lot of it is tradition. We have evidence for some of it, such as Peter being crucified upside down.
Tim: My question is this: When Robert E. Lee surrendered the Southern troops to the Northern Army, he sent out a rider with a white flag of surrender. Who was the Union officer who accepted the flag?
Ed Vitagliano: Appomattox? Where was that?
Tim: Appomattox Courthouse is where they met.
Ed Vitagliano: Who was the officer?
Tim: General George Custer.
Ed Vitagliano: George Custer accepted the white flag of surrender?
Tim: Yes.
Bert Harper: I have not read enough about the Civil War. That is not one of my favorite parts of our history.
Ed Vitagliano: Appomattox Courthouse is the name of the village, not just the courthouse.
Bert Harper: I did not know that. We were coming back from Washington, D.C., and stopped there with our grandchildren. We found out that the name applied to the village as well as the courthouse.
Ed Vitagliano: Thank you for that interesting information, Tim.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Arkansas and talk to Debbie. Debbie, do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Debbie: Good morning, professors. I would like to do both.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Arkansas are you from?
Debbie: I live in Berryville.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Debbie: I am going to do the multiple-choice peanut question. I do not feel very educated this morning.
Ed Vitagliano: What percent of a peanut is fat? Is it 10 percent, 25 percent, or 50 percent?
Debbie: When I open a jar of peanut butter, there is so much fat on it, so I am going to say 50 percent.
Ed Vitagliano: You are 100 percent right.
Bert Harper: Actually, it is 49 percent, but we will accept 50 percent.
Debbie: I had no idea peanuts had that much fat.
Ed Vitagliano: If you look at a jar of peanut butter, it is high in calories.
Bert Harper: My wife and I eat a lot of all-natural foods, and sometimes she gets all-natural peanut butter. There can be about two inches of oil at the top.
Ed Vitagliano: You have to go down deep and bring it up.
Bert Harper: When I was in college, my dad bought what seemed like a 50-pound jar of all-natural peanut butter. It was probably 25 pounds. None of us liked it because of the oil, but he loved it because nothing had been added. I wanted Skippy peanut butter. He got upset with the whole family, but he ate the entire thing. You have to stir it up with the oil.
Ed Vitagliano: My dad did another thing like that. He bought a 100-pound bag of popcorn. My mom got so upset because she asked what she was supposed to do with it. He got Mason jars, and we had popcorn in every cabinet.
Debbie: You all crack me up.
Ed Vitagliano: We have some fun, do we not? Do you have a question for us?
Debbie: Although I live in Berryville, Arkansas, my husband and I have a little piece of property in Mountain View, and we spend a lot of time there. We were blessed to have Bodie come and sing “Jesus Loves Me” with us recently.
J.J. Jasper: That was a few weeks ago, about a month ago.
Debbie: I did not know you were in the area. If I had known it was you and your son, I would have told you I am a listener and a fan.
J.J. Jasper: Were you the one who invited him over?
Debbie: No, that was a lady called Sister Spoon.
J.J. Jasper: She had some spoons and played the spoons. She was such a sweet lady.
Debbie: I saw your video. You panned over and showed me and my husband. I was singing along with Bodie because I did not want him to have to sing “Jesus Loves Me” by himself.
J.J. Jasper: He is such a blessing. He is so sweet.
Debbie: My question is...
Ed Vitagliano: Debbie, you are going to have to wait until after the break.
Debbie: I waited this long. I can wait.
Ed Vitagliano: While the music is playing, you owe it to yourself to go to Mountain View, Arkansas. It has about 3,000 people, three new car dealerships, a dozen banks, and 31 restaurants. People gather around the courthouse and the park next to it, and there is bluegrass, Christian music, Southern Gospel, and folk music. It is quaint and has a sweet, wholesome atmosphere.
Ed Vitagliano: We will be right back for more of Trivia Friday.
Ed Vitagliano: Good morning, professors. Welcome to Trivia Friday. It is Friday, November 6. We are headed directly toward Thanksgiving. I am sitting in for Tim Wildmon today, and I am joined in the studio by Bert Harper.
Bert Harper: Good morning, Ed. It is good to be with you.
Ed Vitagliano: So if you are taking Tim's place, I am taking your place?
Bert Harper: You are taking my place.
Ed Vitagliano: Okay, I got you. We do not necessarily make sense here on the show.
Ed Vitagliano: And J.J. Jasper, the pride of Owensboro, Kentucky. Good morning.
J.J. Jasper: Good morning.
J.J. Jasper: Absolute research just came out to see how long it takes different breeds of guard dogs to make a decision and attack. German shepherds take four seconds. Dobermans take three seconds. Pit bulls take two seconds. An English bulldog takes 10 to 14 business days.
Ed Vitagliano: That is slow.
J.J. Jasper: You have to trust the research. Ten to 14 business days.
Ed Vitagliano: Folks, if you are just tuning in for the first time, we have a little fun on Fridays. This is a trivia show, hence the name Trivia Friday. We needed this week.
Bert Harper: Oh, yes, we did.
Ed Vitagliano: The number to call if you want to get on the program with us is 888-589-8840. Each of us is going to ask three trivia questions. We invite you to call in and answer one of them, ask us a question to try to stump the panel, or do both.
Ed Vitagliano: We do ask that if you have been on the air with us here on Trivia Friday in the last eight weeks, you wait a week because we like to get as many people on the air as possible. We also ask that you be 11 years old or older.
Ed Vitagliano: J.J., one of these original nine questions is special. What is special about it?
J.J. Jasper: Out of our original nine, one is a mystery question. If you happen to land on it and answer it correctly, you will hear the beloved cowbell.
Ed Vitagliano: And that means you win yourself a nice Learning University T-shirt. It is hard to believe Christmas is right around the corner. If you do not win a T-shirt, you can go to our store and get one. We have mugs, caps, DVDs, books, and all sorts of things that are priced well. It is a good resource, and it helps the ministry. Go to resources.afa.net.
Bert Harper: As J.J. typically says this time of year, getting a T-shirt for a fan of the show is a great stocking stuffer. There are also Bible helps, video resources, mugs, and all kinds of other materials.
J.J. Jasper: We have one kitchen sink left. One kitchen sink is all we have.
Ed Vitagliano: I think that is all the housekeeping we need to go over. It is time to get to our questions. I will go first, Brother Bert, and you follow. J.J., you will be third.
Ed Vitagliano: In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod? Second, Winfield Scott was one of two American generals who served in three wars. Who was the other one? Third, how long does a typical one-dollar bill survive before becoming too worn out to keep in circulation? Is it 18 months, 24 months, three years, or six years?
Bert Harper: I have a Bible question as well. In the New Testament, who was the first recorded Christian convert in Europe? Next, what is the name of the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show? I will make that multiple choice: “My Small Town,” “Come Along with Me,” or “The Fishing Hole.” One of those is the answer. Finally, since you already mentioned Thanksgiving, we know the Pilgrims came to America on the Mayflower. What was the name of the other ship they were on that had to turn back to England because it was not seaworthy?
J.J. Jasper: Three of the four Gospels in the Bible are called the Synoptic Gospels, meaning they recount many of the same events and can be carefully studied side by side. Which Gospel is not one of the Synoptic Gospels? Second, in which year during the Summer Olympics did swimmer Mark Spitz win seven gold medals? Third, what percent of a peanut is fat? Is it 10 percent, 25 percent, or 50 percent?
J.J. Jasper: I also have a peanut joke. What would a husband peanut tell his wife peanut? That it makes her look fat.
Ed Vitagliano: I do not know what you had going on there, but we are tracking you.
J.J. Jasper: When we grew peanuts, I loved getting a shell that had three peanuts in it. That was fun.
Bert Harper: That is like finding a five-dollar bill in your winter coat when you get it out of the closet.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to the phones. We will start in Ohio with John. John, thank you for calling.
John: Hello.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Ohio are you from?
John: Right in the middle, from Shelby.
Ed Vitagliano: Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
John: I will do both.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question are you going to try to answer?
John: The one about which apostle was beheaded.
Ed Vitagliano: In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod?
John: John the Baptist.
Ed Vitagliano: John was not an apostle, but you are correct that he was beheaded. Good try. What is your question for us?
John: How do you hide an elephant in a cherry tree?
J.J. Jasper: You paint its toenails red.
John: That is part of it.
J.J. Jasper: I have had a lot of elephants, and that is where we hid them as children.
Ed Vitagliano: What is the rest of the answer?
John: So you never see one in the cherry tree.
Ed Vitagliano: No. What else do you have to do besides painting its toenails red?
John: That was the part about never seeing one in the cherry tree.
Ed Vitagliano: All right, John. Somebody told the truth about George Washington cutting down the cherry tree.
John: He did that.
Ed Vitagliano: He did. Have a great weekend, John. Thanks for listening to AFR.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Rachel in Kansas. Rachel, thank you for calling.
Rachel: Hello.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Kansas are you from?
Rachel: I am originally from a little town halfway between Topeka and Manhattan, but I am actually living in Atchison now.
Ed Vitagliano: Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Rachel: I will do both.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Rachel: The one about the Pilgrims' ship that had to turn back.
Bert Harper: We know the Pilgrims came to America on the Mayflower. What was the name of the other ship that had to turn back to England because it was not seaworthy?
Rachel: It was the Speedwell.
Ed Vitagliano: That is right. You went right out of the gate. Do you know what the name means?
Rachel: I get to teach Learning University.
Ed Vitagliano: That is our latest design. It has only been out for about three months.
Rachel: I have been calling in for about 13 years. The first time I called was in September 2013.
Ed Vitagliano: You have a good memory. You keep a good diary.
Rachel: I sure do.
Ed Vitagliano: Congratulations, Rachel. You won yourself a Learning University T-shirt. Great job answering the question.
Bert Harper: The Speedwell turned back, and some of those who were on it got on the Mayflower, which made the Mayflower more overcrowded than they had planned. Some stayed back, and it made the journey difficult.
Ed Vitagliano: The Speedwell stayed home, and the Mayflower came on. Did you learn that in school?
Rachel: I do not remember learning it in school. I learned it from a documentary that Kirk Cameron did back in about 2012. It covered where the Pilgrims came from.
Ed Vitagliano: That was a monumental film. Kirk Cameron does a great job. Make sure you stay on the line so we can get your T-shirt size and address. What is your question for us?
Rachel: I am a veterinary technician, so I am taking you into my world. Something we stress to people quite a lot is the importance of heartworm prevention. My question is, how are heartworms spread, and about how long does it take for them to reach maturity from the initial infection?
J.J. Jasper: It is spread by secondhand smoke. Have you ever caught a cat or dog smoking cigarettes? If you have them, smoke them, but that is not good for any kind of pet. It is not good for people, and it is not good for pets.
Bert Harper: Rachel, you see what we put up with here on the show every Friday. That was quick-witted.
Rachel: My daughter is a veterinary technician. Does that count?
Bert Harper: That does not give me the right answer, but you can get a couple of extra points. Maybe she will grade you on a curve because you are in the care group.
Ed Vitagliano: I do know that my wife and my daughter have two dogs between them, and they are very careful about heartworm medicine. I think heartworms are in the grass or somewhere in the ground, but I may be thinking of parvo.
Rachel: Heartworms are spread through mosquitoes. When mosquitoes take a blood meal, they transfer the larvae into the bloodstream. It can take up to six months from the initial infection for mature worms to develop in the heart. That is why we stress that heartworm prevention is important. Even if you are not seeing mosquitoes in January, your pet could have been exposed back in June.
Ed Vitagliano: Was I right about parvo? Is that something that is in the ground that they can catch?
Rachel: They can pick it up out of the ground. They can also pick up leptospirosis from the ground and get it from stagnant water. Mostly, it is from infected urine or something like that.
J.J. Jasper: That is why I do not shower with stagnant water.
Ed Vitagliano: That is a good point. You always go downstream.
J.J. Jasper: All the things you mentioned, plus non-filtered Camel cigarettes. I am going to put that on the postscript.
Ed Vitagliano: Rachel, I am going to put you on hold, and Cindy Roberts will get your information. Congratulations on getting the Learning University T-shirt and answering a second question right out of the gate.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to North Carolina and talk to Jonathan. Jonathan, thank you for calling.
Jonathan: Good morning, professors. How are you today?
Ed Vitagliano: We are doing well. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Jonathan: I would like to do both, if that can be arranged.
Ed Vitagliano: It can be arranged. Which question do you want to try to answer?
Jonathan: I would like to answer the question about the general.
Ed Vitagliano: Winfield Scott was one of two American generals who served in three wars. Who was the other one?
Jonathan: That would be Douglas MacArthur.
Ed Vitagliano: Nicely done.
Bert Harper: Winfield Scott served in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War. Douglas MacArthur served in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.
Ed Vitagliano: That was not an easy question. How did you know that?
Jonathan: I am fascinated by Douglas MacArthur. I have written a couple of papers about him and read some books about his life.
Ed Vitagliano: That is great. President Truman let him go during the Korean War, and that was controversial.
Jonathan: When I was growing up, there were people who loved Douglas MacArthur and people who hated him. He was one or the other.
Ed Vitagliano: I like how Arnold Schwarzenegger quoted him.
Jonathan: I was wondering if any of you knew what President Truman's middle name was.
Ed Vitagliano: Harry S. Truman.
Bert Harper: I think he did not have a middle name. It was just an initial that he added.
Jonathan: He did not have a middle name, just the initial. He said both of his grandfathers would think he was named after them.
Bert Harper: My mother did not have a middle name either. She was born in Greece and lived there under Nazi occupation. When she came to this country after the war, they gave her a middle initial, but it did not actually stand for anything. It stood for no name.
Ed Vitagliano: Years ago, I used this as a trivia question. No passenger on the Mayflower had a middle initial.
Bert Harper: That is a pretty new thing.
Ed Vitagliano: I think Ulysses S. Grant's S was added to his as well, although I am not guaranteeing that.
Bert Harper: Ulysses S. Grant's middle name was Simpson, but it was a corruption of his real name. His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant, and it got confused with his younger brother, whose name was Simpson.
Ed Vitagliano: I am loving your accent. Where are you originally from?
Jonathan: I am originally from South Carolina, but my mom is from South Africa, and I picked up her accent.
Ed Vitagliano: Yes, you did. Does anybody in the family know Elon Musk? He is from South Africa.
Jonathan: He did not say South Africa, but no, we do not know him.
Ed Vitagliano: Thank you, Jonathan. We appreciate it.
Ed Vitagliano: We have time for one more before the break. Mark in Virginia, also known as the Birdman.
Mark: Hello, professor.
Ed Vitagliano: Mark is a frequent caller and usually has some birds tweeting in the background. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Mark: Both, please.
Ed Vitagliano: Which one do you want to answer?
Mark: I would like to answer the one about the Gospels.
Ed Vitagliano: Three of the four Gospels in the Bible are called Synoptic Gospels, meaning they recount many of the same events and can be carefully studied side by side. Which Gospel is not one of the Synoptic Gospels?
Mark: That would be John.
Ed Vitagliano: Nicely done.
Bert Harper: That reminds me of a story. Jan and I have a camper, and we were down in southern Louisiana doing a family revival. They had four cabins available, and I asked what their names were. They said, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Bob.”
Ed Vitagliano: That is funny. I am glad Bob was not the best choice for John. That is the Gospel of Bob.
J.J. Jasper: A lot of people have not even heard of the Synoptic Gospels, Mark. Good job. What is your question for us?
Mark: In which John Wayne movie was he shown without his hair?
Ed Vitagliano: He had a hairpiece?
Mark: Yes.
Bert Harper: He was bald?
Ed Vitagliano: I did not know that.
Bert Harper: When he was on his yacht, he did not wear his hairpiece, and people were shocked.
Ed Vitagliano: I once went to one of the NRB or CMB gatherings. They selected a group of us to go on a special trip, and we got on John Wayne's yacht off the coast of California. We did not see a hairpiece, though. It was a true story, and Kay Arthur and her husband were there too.
J.J. Jasper: What movie was it?
Mark: North to Alaska.
Ed Vitagliano: North to Alaska. I do not think I have ever seen that.
Bert Harper: I would be disturbed to see him without a full head of hair. I had no idea that was true.
Ed Vitagliano: All right, Mark. Thanks a bunch, brother. Say hi to the birds for us.
Mark: Thank you.
Ed Vitagliano: Folks, we are going to take a short break. When we come back, we will reset our questions and go back to the phones.
Ed Vitagliano: Trivia Friday continues here on American Family Radio. Ed Vitagliano, J.J. Jasper, and Bert Harper.
Ed Vitagliano: Welcome back to Trivia Friday. J.J. is going to tell us what he has coming up.
J.J. Jasper: Next Friday, November 13, I will be at Elkhorn Baptist Church in Campbellsville, Kentucky, for the Hope Pregnancy Center of Taylor County. I am traveling with my 11-year-old son, Bodie, who has Down syndrome. Because it is a pregnancy resource center, I want people to see that when a woman finds out through prenatal testing that she has a child with Down syndrome, around 90 percent abort the baby. Maybe they do not think the child will have a good quality of life. I am bringing Bodie as proof of the pudding.
J.J. Jasper: He has so much joy. He is sweet and innocent, makes us laugh every day, and is very talented. This is the first time I am taking him with me. It is a ticketed event. You can find the flyer with all the information on my Facebook page, JJ Jasper Official. I would appreciate your prayers. It is a fundraiser for Hope Pregnancy Center.
Bert Harper: The Lord really uses these pregnancy centers. We always encourage people here at AFA and AFR to get their churches involved. A lot of times churches do not even know there is a pregnancy center in their community.
J.J. Jasper: Find out if you have one. Maybe the Lord will put it on your heart to start one, and then get JJ Jasper in for a fundraiser.
Bert Harper: The Lord blesses when J.J. goes out and does these events. It is something he feels called to do.
J.J. Jasper: You can go to JJ Jasper Official on Facebook or JJ Jasper.com. This is the third time they have had me come to Campbellsville. I get sick of myself, but I do not know why they are not sick of me. That is one more reason I am bringing Bodie. I say I am bringing him for show and tell. My wife and daughter say that is tacky, but if I get tired, he can help me drive.
Ed Vitagliano: I do not mind a little tacky. That is kind of what guys do.
Ed Vitagliano: We are going to reset our questions. I have had one answered, so I will add one to my original questions. In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod? Someone gave a good guess and said John the Baptist, but John the Baptist was not an apostle. How long does a typical one-dollar bill survive before becoming too worn out to keep in circulation? Is it 18 months, 24 months, three years, or six years? Finally, what ancient Greek physician was known as the father of medicine?
Bert Harper: In the New Testament, who was the first recorded Christian convert in Europe? The Apostle Paul being called into Europe changed the world. The second question is, what is the name of the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show? The tune had no words, but everybody knows it. The choices are “My Small Town,” “Come Along with Me,” and “The Fishing Hole.” I am also adding this question and staying with television in the 1960s: What town do Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty live in?
J.J. Jasper: I saw a funny meme today. Somebody said that when people say, “I remember back 30 years ago,” they immediately think of the 1970s. Then they realize that 30 years ago was 1996.
Ed Vitagliano: That is depressing.
J.J. Jasper: My first question is, in which year during the Summer Olympics did swimmer Mark Spitz win seven gold medals? Second, what percentage of a peanut is fat? Is it 10 percent, 25 percent, or 50 percent? Third, which word follows Juliet, Kilo, and Lima? What is the next word?
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Oklahoma and talk to Matt. Matt, thank you for calling.
Matt: Yes, sir. How are you guys doing?
Ed Vitagliano: We are doing well. Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
Matt: I will do both.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question?
Matt: The first European convert.
Ed Vitagliano: In the New Testament, who was the first recorded Christian convert in Europe?
Matt: I believe that would be Lydia.
Ed Vitagliano: Nicely done. That is good Christian history.
Bert Harper: I thought it might be Cornelius, so I looked it up.
Ed Vitagliano: That was a good first guess, but Lydia is correct. You think about Lydia, a seller of purple. They did not have a synagogue, so they met down by the creek. Paul always went to the synagogues first, but when there was not one, he went down to the creek bank. Lydia received him, her whole household got right with God, and they had a revival in Philippi.
Bert Harper: And you have the book of Philippians too.
Matt: I am from Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Ed Vitagliano: I thought you were a country music fan. What was the song about the little green plant where he said, “We do not smoke it here”?
Matt: There is a dispensary on just about every corner downtown.
Ed Vitagliano: That is terrible. If he saw a mural of his face with Bob Marley, I think he would roll in his grave.
Bert Harper: That is also one of the worst smells around.
Ed Vitagliano: It is. I cannot stand it.
Matt: You opened with Yosemite Sam, and it got me thinking about when Bugs Bunny was running from Elmer Fudd and called him a name that came from Scripture. He called him Nimrod, the mighty hunter.
Ed Vitagliano: That is right. That was pure sarcasm on Bugs Bunny's part.
Bert Harper: When I was growing up in New England, which was not a particularly churchgoing or biblically literate part of the country, we used to call people Nimrod as an insult. I do not know whether that came from the Bible or Bugs Bunny, but we would say, “Do not be such a Nimrod.”
Ed Vitagliano: We were probably more familiar with Bugs Bunny than we were with the Bible.
J.J. Jasper: That other Old Testament character, Doofus.
Ed Vitagliano: A lot of people have misused that name and taken it in vain.
Bert Harper: Doofus.
Ed Vitagliano: Thanks, Matt. Have a great weekend.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Ohio and talk to Clarissa. Clarissa, thank you for calling. Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
Clarissa: I would like to answer, please.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Clarissa: The Andy Griffith question.
Ed Vitagliano: Are you a fan?
Clarissa: Definitely.
Ed Vitagliano: What is the name of the theme song for The Andy Griffith Show? The choices are “My Small Town,” “Come Along with Me,” and “The Fishing Hole.”
Clarissa: “The Fishing Hole.”
Ed Vitagliano: That is it.
Clarissa: I remembered it when you gave the three choices.
Bert Harper: They are walking down the path, and he throws the rock in.
Ed Vitagliano: Good job, Clarissa. What is your question for us?
Clarissa: Is it true or false that Ron Howard directed the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas?
Ed Vitagliano: We are going to talk amongst ourselves, so do not say yes or no. I am guessing that since you are asking it, it is probably true. Ron Howard became quite a director.
Bert Harper: With Jim Carrey and The Grinch, that turned into a Christmas classic. It seems like we would remember that.
Ed Vitagliano: When you hear Ron Howard, he was more fascinated by what was going on behind the camera than he was in front of it. He was interested in directing even as a kid, so I am going to say true.
J.J. Jasper: I will say false just to be a dissenter.
Ed Vitagliano: All right, who is right, Clarissa?
Clarissa: It is true.
Ed Vitagliano: That is something. When you look at the list of movies he directed, he has had quite a career. The people who came off The Andy Griffith Show, including Don Knotts and Ron Howard, went on to do significant things beyond the show itself.
Bert Harper: Otis was the voice of Mr. Whitaker on Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey.
Ed Vitagliano: That is right. Thank you, Clarissa. Have a great weekend.
Ed Vitagliano: Tim, thank you for calling. Do you want to answer, ask, or do both?
Tim: I would like to do both.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Oklahoma are you from?
Tim: Southeast Oklahoma, right down in the corner, close to Texas, near Broken Bow.
Ed Vitagliano: Close to where Where the Red Fern Grows was set. Have you seen that movie?
Tim: Sure.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Tim: The one about the apostle.
Ed Vitagliano: In the Bible, which apostle was beheaded by King Herod?
Tim: James the Great.
Ed Vitagliano: That is it. Acts chapter 12, verse 2.
Bert Harper: I learned something. Someone sent me a book of Bible trivia, and I saw that question. I remembered that Acts said he was killed with the sword. The book said he was beheaded, so I looked it up. It is universally understood that when the Roman Empire executed someone with the sword, that meant beheading. It was a military method of execution.
Ed Vitagliano: Was this James the half brother of Jesus?
Bert Harper: No, he was not an apostle.
Ed Vitagliano: Right. It was James, the brother of John. When you look at the 12 apostles and what happened to some of them, there are things we know, but a lot of it is tradition. We have evidence for some of it, such as Peter being crucified upside down.
Tim: My question is this: When Robert E. Lee surrendered the Southern troops to the Northern Army, he sent out a rider with a white flag of surrender. Who was the Union officer who accepted the flag?
Ed Vitagliano: Appomattox? Where was that?
Tim: Appomattox Courthouse is where they met.
Ed Vitagliano: Who was the officer?
Tim: General George Custer.
Ed Vitagliano: George Custer accepted the white flag of surrender?
Tim: Yes.
Bert Harper: I have not read enough about the Civil War. That is not one of my favorite parts of our history.
Ed Vitagliano: Appomattox Courthouse is the name of the village, not just the courthouse.
Bert Harper: I did not know that. We were coming back from Washington, D.C., and stopped there with our grandchildren. We found out that the name applied to the village as well as the courthouse.
Ed Vitagliano: Thank you for that interesting information, Tim.
Ed Vitagliano: Let us go to Arkansas and talk to Debbie. Debbie, do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Debbie: Good morning, professors. I would like to do both.
Ed Vitagliano: What part of Arkansas are you from?
Debbie: I live in Berryville.
Ed Vitagliano: Which question do you want to answer?
Debbie: I am going to do the multiple-choice peanut question. I do not feel very educated this morning.
Ed Vitagliano: What percent of a peanut is fat? Is it 10 percent, 25 percent, or 50 percent?
Debbie: When I open a jar of peanut butter, there is so much fat on it, so I am going to say 50 percent.
Ed Vitagliano: You are 100 percent right.
Bert Harper: Actually, it is 49 percent, but we will accept 50 percent.
Debbie: I had no idea peanuts had that much fat.
Ed Vitagliano: If you look at a jar of peanut butter, it is high in calories.
Bert Harper: My wife and I eat a lot of all-natural foods, and sometimes she gets all-natural peanut butter. There can be about two inches of oil at the top.
Ed Vitagliano: You have to go down deep and bring it up.
Bert Harper: When I was in college, my dad bought what seemed like a 50-pound jar of all-natural peanut butter. It was probably 25 pounds. None of us liked it because of the oil, but he loved it because nothing had been added. I wanted Skippy peanut butter. He got upset with the whole family, but he ate the entire thing. You have to stir it up with the oil.
Ed Vitagliano: My dad did another thing like that. He bought a 100-pound bag of popcorn. My mom got so upset because she asked what she was supposed to do with it. He got Mason jars, and we had popcorn in every cabinet.
Debbie: You all crack me up.
Ed Vitagliano: We have some fun, do we not? Do you have a question for us?
Debbie: Although I live in Berryville, Arkansas, my husband and I have a little piece of property in Mountain View, and we spend a lot of time there. We were blessed to have Bodie come and sing “Jesus Loves Me” with us recently.
J.J. Jasper: That was a few weeks ago, about a month ago.
Debbie: I did not know you were in the area. If I had known it was you and your son, I would have told you I am a listener and a fan.
J.J. Jasper: Were you the one who invited him over?
Debbie: No, that was a lady called Sister Spoon.
J.J. Jasper: She had some spoons and played the spoons. She was such a sweet lady.
Debbie: I saw your video. You panned over and showed me and my husband. I was singing along with Bodie because I did not want him to have to sing “Jesus Loves Me” by himself.
J.J. Jasper: He is such a blessing. He is so sweet.
Debbie: My question is...
Ed Vitagliano: Debbie, you are going to have to wait until after the break.
Debbie: I waited this long. I can wait.
Ed Vitagliano: While the music is playing, you owe it to yourself to go to Mountain View, Arkansas. It has about 3,000 people, three new car dealerships, a dozen banks, and 31 restaurants. People gather around the courthouse and the park next to it, and there is bluegrass, Christian music, Southern Gospel, and folk music. It is quaint and has a sweet, wholesome atmosphere.
Ed Vitagliano: We will be right back for more of Trivia Friday.
Ed Vitagliano and Bert Harper lead a lively round of Trivia Friday with questions about the Bible, American military history, the Mayflower, television classics, sports, peanuts and animal health.
Callers from Ohio, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Virginia and Arkansas answer questions and challenge the panel with their own trivia. The conversation includes the Speedwell, Douglas MacArthur, the synoptic Gospels, the Andy Griffith Show theme song, heartworm prevention and a John Wayne movie.
The hosts trade jokes throughout the program, and Rachel wins a Learning University T-shirt after answering a question about the Pilgrims' other ship.
