Host: Welcome back to Trivia Friday with Ed Vitagliano, Bert Harper, and the ever-effervescent JJ Jasper. We'll reset our questions in a moment, but Debbie from Arkansas is still on the line. She has a question for us. Debbie, thank you so much for your patience and for waiting. What's your question?

Host: Before you answer your question, I want to give you a homework assignment. I want our listeners to go to JJ Jasper Official on Facebook and scroll down a little bit. You'll see our family there at Mountain View, Arkansas, and our little son, Bodie, singing “Jesus Loves Me.” Look right over in the corner beyond Bodie, and you'll see Debbie. She's the prettiest one there. It's in a little shelter in a little park right over from the courthouse. That really is a wonderful place, with the mountains and the curvy roads and everything. Isn't it a wonderful place, Debbie?

Caller: There's no place like it.

Host: So what's your question for us?

Caller: It revolves around Mountain View, which is why I called. Mountain View is kind of self-titled the Folk Music Capital of the World. Back in the 1950s, there was a songwriter named Jimmy Driftwood, and there's a Jimmy Driftwood Theater there. It's just an old barn where people go and see music. He was a schoolteacher in the 1950s, and he wrote a lot of his songs to help his students get interested in and remember history. One of the songs he wrote was “The Battle of New Orleans.”

My question is this: How many songs did Jimmy Driftwood write? I'll make it multiple choice. Was it A, 700; B, 3,500; or C, 6,000?

Host: First of all, is Driftwood really his last name, or is that a stage name?

Guest: It's probably a stage name.

Host: I'm just going to tell you, that is a great name. It's a great name. He wrote that song about taking a little trip, you know that song about the trip?

Guest: Yeah, he wrote that.

Host: Wow. There's a little place you can go in and see all that. Any one of those numbers is incredible. Give us the numbers again, Debbie, from the smallest to the greatest.

Caller: A is 700, B is 3,500, and C is 6,000.

Host: I go with 700.

Guest: I go with 6,000.

Host: One of us is right. Who is right?

Caller: It's 6,000. He wrote over 6,000 songs.

Host: That's amazing. Six thousand songs.

Guest: He had 300 recorded, I guess. If David can do it, and Solomon can do it, I guess anybody can.

Host: That little spot on the road where he's from, we passed through there going from ... what's the little place called?

Guest: It's called Timbo.

Host: Yes, Timbo.

Guest: He was right around there. He taught school in several different places. I think he might have taught in Fifty-Six also.

Host: Wow. Debbie, I'm so glad you connected the dots and realized we were right there. We enjoyed some music with cool temperatures there in Mountain View, Arkansas, and we met so many wonderful folks there. God bless you.

Caller: Thank you for listening to AFR.

Host: Thank you, Debbie. Let's go ahead and reset our questions that have gone unanswered. We'll see if we can get away with asking them now. Maybe we'll throw them back out there in about ten minutes, but we'll see.

Host: I have two questions remaining. How long does a typical one-dollar bill survive before becoming too worn out to keep in circulation? It's multiple choice. Is it 18 months, 24 months, three years, or six years?

Host: The other question is, what ancient Greek physician was known as the father of medicine?

Host: I've just got one left. I'll add one just to help. What town do Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty live in?

Guest: What town do Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty live in?

Host: Oh, good.

Guest: I'm adding this one. I love group names. What is the name of a group of hippopotamuses?

Host: It's not hippopotami.

Guest: It is hippopotami.

Host: That's what I read. What is the name of a group of hippopotamuses? Doesn't everybody want one for Christmas?

Guest: I want a hippo for Christmas.

Host: Here's what I've got. Which year during the Summer Olympics did swimmer Mark Spitz win seven gold medals?

Host: Next question. This is a sequence. Which word follows Juliet, Kilo, and Lima? If you know, you know. Which word follows Juliet, Kilo, Lima? What's the next word?

Host: Jim from Texas, you're on the line. Do you want to answer, ask, or both?

Caller: Let's do both.

Host: Which question?

Caller: The Flintstones.

Host: That's it. By the way, before we go there, do you know Barney and Betty's last name, since you knew the Flintstones?

Caller: What town do Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty live in?

Host: Bedrock.

Caller: That's right. It's in the theme song.

Host: Jim, this morning on the radio I mentioned some breaking news I saw where California had annexed Texas and Gavin Newsom said, “Welcome. You're going to enjoy the changes and the things we've done in California. We're going to do them there.” They said they were able to annex Texas without a single shot being fired. It was years of lawsuits that made that happen. Then they said that the motto “Come and Take It” was going to be about your paycheck.

Guest: It was from the Babylon Bee, but I was having some fun with it.

Host: You have to laugh to keep from crying.

Caller: Yeah.

Host: What's your question for us?

Caller: Deep in the heart of Texas there. My first answer, my first question I was going to respond to was the peanut question. I was going to guess 50 percent, because I've never seen a skinny elephant.

Host: There you go. I like that.

Guest: Well played, sir.

Caller: It was my question. My question for you guys is, who is the shortest man in the Bible?

Host: That would be knee-high shoe.

Guest: Hey, the shoe. High.

Host: Build that shoe.

Guest: I was trying to get there before.

Host: They thought it was Nicodemus, but then they found out it was knee-high. Then the family built the shoe and the high from the Book of Job.

Guest: Way to go. You have my kind of biblical humor. I love that.

Host: Jim, have a great weekend there in the blue state of Texas.

Caller: You're just breaking my heart. I lost sleep tonight over it.

Host: I was talking to Brother Bert about it and had him join the morning show to share some encouragement.

Guest: Let me give you some encouragement. Read Psalm 37. Read Psalm 37 if you need some encouragement. It says, “Trust in the Lord.” Three times it says, “Fret not, fret not, fret not.”

Host: How do you do it?

Guest: First of all, you have faith in the Lord.

Host: Amen.

Guest: Second, you commit your ways unto Him. You delight in Him, and you rest in His care.

Host: Amen. That's good. That's what I'm preaching Sunday at our church here in northeast Mississippi.

Guest: If you don't have a church, go to Ozark and hear Brother Bert. He's an outstanding preacher and Bible teacher.

Host: He really is.

Guest: Thank you.

Host: I want to add just one little thing. These memes are comforting: An election may change who is in office, but it can never change who is on the throne.

Guest: Amen.

Host: Praise the Lord.

Host: Don from Ohio, thank you for calling. Do you want to answer, ask, or both?

Caller: I'd like to do both.

Host: Which question, brother?

Caller: I waited all this time for the end of your question, but another caller took it.

Host: I've got plenty of them, but I won't end today. Go ahead.

Caller: Maybe I'll try the Father of Medicine question.

Host: What ancient Greek physician was known as the father of medicine?

Caller: I just figured it was Hippocrates.

Host: It was Hippocrates, and it is from that person's name that we get the Hippocratic oath.

Guest: His big statement was “Do no harm,” but that was a little long, so they shortened it.

Host: Hey, being Greek, can you trace your ancestry back that far?

Caller: I don't know, but I know that Windex cures everything. A little bit of Windex cures everything.

Host: That comes from a movie about a Greek family.

Guest: I remember that line.

Host: I don't usually recommend movies because sometimes they have things in them that I don't recommend. I've stopped over the years. I'll say, “I've seen a movie, and that was funny,” and then I'll tell someone about it, and they say, “You know there was some questionable content in that.” I say, “All right, well, I'm not suggesting that anybody watch it.” Anyway, I digress. Don, what's your question for us?

Caller: It's a baseball question. That's what I hoped you could answer today.

Host: These two guys are good baseball aficionados, not as good as Tim, but they can come up with some stuff. It depends on which era it was in.

Caller: If you can get this right without looking it up, I will make a donation to Preborn.

Host: Amen.

Caller: Actually, I'm going to do it anyway.

Guest: What a way to go. You didn't have to tell us that.

Host: My question is, who was the smallest Major League Baseball player in history?

Guest: I can tell you who he was. He actually went to bat holding a Sunday newspaper. He was about three feet tall. He would hold a rolled-up copy of the Sunday paper, along with some other things, and he was able to get a walk.

Host: Yes, they couldn't pitch to him. He didn't even hold a bat because he did that a couple of times. He did hold a bat, but he was there to get on base. They finally figured out a way to say, “Look, this is just too much like a carnival. We're trying to have Major League Baseball,” so they found a technicality to get him out of there. I can't remember his name.

Caller: I believe it was Eddie Gaedel.

Host: That's right.

Caller: His name was Eddie Gaedel.

Host: He was three feet seven inches tall.

Guest: Didn't he have the Sunday paper rolled up that he used as a bat at one point?

Host: I'm not sure about that. I know he did sometimes. He got on base. They couldn't strike him out.

Guest: Speaking of that, he only got to bat one time. One of my favorite players was Stan Musial for the St. Louis Cardinals. When he died, they didn't put a bat in his casket. They put a harmonica in his coat pocket.

Host: Oh, really?

Guest: That was another one I could have used later on.

Host: It's not too late.

Guest: Not everybody gets all of these.

Host: Save that one. Don, thank you. I love a baseball fan.

Guest: The dirt just went over his head.

Host: Thank you, Don.

Host: Let's go to Kansas and talk to Eugene. Eugene, do you want to answer, ask, or both?

Caller: We'll do both.

Host: What part of Kansas are you from?

Caller: I'm about 45 minutes south of Wichita.

Host: Okay.

Caller: I figured JJ had been there.

Host: What's the name of the area?

Caller: It's south central Kansas. We're on the western edge of the Flint Hills.

Host: Sure.

Caller: I think you've been to Wellington, which is about 45 minutes west of me.

Host: I'm going to answer a good question about the alphabet. Finish this sequence: Which word follows Juliet, Kilo, and Lima?

Caller: I believe, and please don't let me be a Democrat and ask this wrong, but it's Motel.

Host: No, it's not Motel.

Caller: Oh, I'm a Democrat.

Guest: No, you're not.

Host: You are a touchmouth, but you did know that it starts with an M. Maybe you'll leave it for the next person.

Caller: That's all right.

Host: What's your question for us?

Caller: Since I don't plan on getting on the air again, how much does a medium-sized bag of cat food weigh?

Host: A bag of what?

Caller: Cat food.

Host: According to the ad?

Caller: I don't know. Twenty-five pounds or something.

Guest: I'm going to go four pounds.

Host: I'll go ten.

Guest: Do you have a big cat?

Host: I think you just looked over on the counter and came up with that question.

Guest: That's good. Be quick on your feet there, Eugene.

Host: Have a great weekend, buddy. Thanks for listening there in Kansas.

Host: Let's go to Jackie in Texas. Jackie, it just seems like you would be in Texas. Are you from Texas originally?

Caller: Not really. I'm from Oklahoma originally.

Host: That goes along with it. You moved south, then.

Caller: Well, I moved into Texas and was raised in both states.

Host: You've been on the show with us before, haven't you?

Caller: About a year ago.

Guest: You sound like you could be in radio. I think we discussed this with you. He's got a great radio voice.

Host: I have to ask, did your daddy sing bass? That's a good voice.

Guest: Jackie, do you want to answer, ask, or both?

Caller: Let's do both this time.

Host: Which question do you want to answer?

Caller: Let's go with Juliet, Kilo.

Host: Which word follows Juliet, Kilo, and Lima?

Caller: That would be Mike.

Host: Mike. That's right. I don't know what the term for that is. We had that in aviation, and it might be a military thing as well. You've got Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, and it goes down through there. The M is Mike.

Caller: That's right.

Host: Jackie, do you have a question for us, brother?

Caller: If you're on a train at midnight and you're in the third boxcar, what's your destination?

Host: You're headed to New Orleans.

Caller: No, no, no. If you're in the third boxcar on the midnight train, your destination is Bangor, Maine.

Guest: Song, song.

Host: “King of the Road.”

Guest: “King of the Road.”

Host: I was thinking about “Midnight Train to Georgia,” but that's not going to wind up in New Orleans.

Guest: You're thinking of the one that goes from Chicago to New Orleans.

Host: The one that leaves Denver at six o'clock, what color was the engineer's shirt?

Guest: Oh, that's a good question, Jackie.

Host: Do you want to sing it?

Guest: Those trains. Have you ever taken a trip on a train?

Host: I have. They're awesome. If you're going to go overnight, let me suggest getting a sleeping car. I took three boys with me from Tupelo, Mississippi, catching the train in Memphis and going all the way to Montana.

Guest: You went to Montana on a train?

Host: We did. We went all the way through Chicago, changed trains, and went out west.

Guest: How fun.

Host: It was great.

Guest: Have you been on that train?

Host: I have. I noticed they don't put peas on the train. Some of the things you can order don't include peas because the train is swaying from side to side. I went from Bowling Green, Kentucky, to Jacksonville, Florida, once. Then I went from somewhere else, I forget where we started, to New Orleans on a train.

Guest: I've heard you guys know someone who works here, Randy Sharp. He took his family on a trip on purpose for the experience.

Host: For the experience?

Guest: For the experience of being on the train, not just to travel. They wanted to have that experience. I forget where they went, and there was something they went to see, but they wanted the experience of being on the train.

Host: I'd like to go on one of those single-gauge trains in Colorado, where you're going around the side of the mountain. I'd like to take our family. We've done a lot of things, but we've never been on a train as a family.

Guest: If you go overnight, get a sleeping car. Let me suggest that.

Host: Let's go to Texas and talk to Haley. Haley, thank you for calling.

Caller: Hello. How are y'all doing?

Host: Great. Do you want to ask, answer, or both, Haley?

Caller: Has anybody answered the hippopotamus question?

Host: No, they have not.

Caller: What is the name of a group of hippopotamuses?

Host: That would be called a bloat.

Guest: Yes, a bloat. They have another name, too.

Host: Two of them. Either one is almost right.

Caller: Thunder?

Host: A thunder. Can you imagine a group of thunder?

Guest: A bloat is in the water, and on land they're a thunder.

Host: I know what we call our family Thanksgiving gathering.

Guest: That's the bloat.

Host: There you go.

Guest: At least at the end of it, right?

Host: Haley, good job. What part of Texas?

Caller: Odessa.

Host: Odessa, oil country, Midland-Odessa. What's your question for us?

Caller: Did you know that Arkansas was mentioned in the Bible?

Host: Yes.

Guest: Go ahead. Do it.

Caller: Tim Wildmon loves to share this, and his dad did for many years. Noah opened the ark and saw ... is that right?

Host: Noah looked in the ark.

Caller: Yes. He opened Ark-an-saw.

Host: Yes.

Caller: Thank you so much for listening to AFR.

Host: Have a wonderful weekend, and God bless you. We sure appreciate our listeners all over the country. We've heard from Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma.

Host: One more?

Guest: I think we can probably fit in one more.

Host: Billy in Texas, we do not have a lot of time. Billy, do you want to answer, ask, or both?

Caller: I just wanted to make a comment on the phonetic alphabet.

Host: Yes, Billy.

Caller: It's the military alphabet that you guys were discussing. It's the phonetic alphabet.

Host: Is that different from the one NATO uses or the military uses?

Caller: It's the exact same one.

Host: I know it's not the different Greek letters they use for fraternities and things, but this is the one we use in aviation. I thought it was military as well, but I started to second-guess myself.

Caller: You are absolutely correct. Yankee and Sierra, Whiskey for W, and Zulu.

Host: When you guys said Mike, I knew that was it. Then I thought Monazuma was sometimes used, so I wondered if there was more than one.

Guest: You may choose Monazuma after you eat too much Mexican food.

Host: You hear a bunch of different ones.

Guest: That's the joke. I hear some of the people helping us on the phone make them up. They'll say Apple for A or whatever. But yes, Mike, November, Oscar. That's it.

Host: All right, thank you, Billy. Have a great weekend.

Guest: Did y'all have phonetics, or did you have to learn phonics when you were learning?

Host: No, it was always phonics.

Guest: Phonics. Mine is still difficult because I say, “You didn't learn phonics?” I say, “We didn't even have phonics where I'm from.”

Host: All right, let's go ahead and give our answers to our questions. I have one remaining. How long does a typical one-dollar bill survive before becoming too worn out to keep in circulation? The options are 18 months, 24 months, three years, or six years.

Guest: Six years.

Host: Three years.

Guest: Eighteen months.

Host: That's a lot of times in the offering plate.

Guest: All of mine have been answered.

Host: What about this? What year during the Summer Olympics did swimmer Mark Spitz win seven gold medals?

Guest: I think that's 1972.

Host: That's what I was saying, 1972.

Guest: Nice job, guys.

Host: Do you have any more, Brother Bert?

Guest: No, they got all mine.

Guest: If I can make mention again, please pray for this event next Friday. If you're in the Campbellsville, Kentucky, area, you're invited. Next Friday at Elkhorn Baptist Church, I'll be there for the Hope Pregnancy Center of Taylor County. We're going to laugh together. It's a fundraiser, and it is a ticketed event. You can go to JJ Jasper Official on Facebook and scroll down just a little bit. You'll see the flyer with all the information. Pray for that very important fundraiser.

Host: All right, we're done here, folks, but more great programming is directly ahead on American Family Radio. See you Monday.
