Tim: Welcome to Trivia Friday on American Family Radio. Thanks for listening to AFR. It's October 2. We have Ed Vatagliano with us this morning. Good morning, Ed.
Ed: Good morning, Tim.
Tim: Ed's firstborn is joining us here as well.
Ed: Actually, secondborn.
Tim: Oh, my bad. Sorry.
Tony: Good morning.
Ed: The problem with your little example there is that you're implying your sister has hairy arms.
Tony: I didn't realize the implication.
Ed: My daughter Lindsay.
Tim: So I've got Tony and Lindsay's birth order straight. Tony's here, Ed's here, I'm here, and JJ is out this week. He'll be back next week. I assume he gets over his latitude problem that he's had. We've told him, "When you get that worked out, come back." He's probably speaking somewhere. I think he's doing some work around the house for his daughter, helping her build a house or something like that.
Ed: Literally.
Tim: Yeah, that's what he's doing. Being a good dad. He's still very good at that. He's got a lot of skill built up over the years and can do just about anything.
Tim: It's Trivia Friday on American Family Radio. It's first-time callers only, although we do have one gentleman, a longtime listener and multicaler, on the line. We're going to go to him in just a minute. He's left over from last week.
Ed: From last week.
Tim: He held on, so we didn't want to throw him overboard. What are the ground rules here, Ed, for this show?
Ed: Well, I'll tell you. Here Tim is, this is a trivia show, and so we have trivia for our listeners. We have gone deep into the halls of learning to drag out some of the best questions.
Tim: Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Ed: You're setting the frame.
Tim: I'm setting the frame.
Tony: He's painting a picture.
Ed: I am painting a picture with words, and we have brought forth, as you like to say, Tim, questions that should challenge you. Three questions each, and we're inviting you to call in, pick one of those to try to answer, and go into the halls of learning yourself and bring questions forth unto us. The number to call is 888-589-8840. First-time callers only. Call to ask, answer, or do both. We like for you to do both.
Tim: Three professors, three questions each, nine questions. One of those is a special mystery question. If you land on it and answer correctly, you'll hear the sound of the blooded cowbells ringing, and we'll know that you scored.
Ed: At least one. You have to get one.
Tim: Tony and I are Mississippi State fans, and I guess we're looking forward to playing Alabama tomorrow. We'll find out about the middle of the second quarter whether we really like that experience or not.
Ed: That's right.
Tim: If you answer the question correctly, you will win a Learning University T-shirt when you hear that cowbell. For those of you watching online, you saw Tim waving it like a matador waving a red flag.
Ed: A red and gold T-shirt. You can buy one for yourself, too.
Tim: You can get one for twenty dollars. That's a deal in today's world.
Ed: Where can you buy it?
Tim: Go to resources.afa.net. Search for T-shirts or Trivia Friday and take a look at what it looks like.
Ed: Our Learning University T-shirt is cheaper than a gallon of diesel.
Tim: Diesel is up to twenty-two dollars a gallon today. Nothing would surprise me.
Tim: We said callers should be eleven years old or older, and I think we've covered everything.
Ed: Here are my three questions. First, President John F. Kennedy was a senator from which state?
Tim: President John F. Kennedy was a senator from which state before he became president?
Ed: Second, one of the most famous horses in history was named Bucephalus. To what famous general did he belong?
Tim: All these generals had horses that were famous. What was the horse's name?
Ed: Bucephalus.
Tim: He had to have a nickname.
Ed: Young Bucey.
Tim: Seriously, in history there was a horse of a famous general, and the horse's name was what?
Ed: Bucephalus.
Tim: All right, Bucephalus. And third, during the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false?
Ed: During the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false?
Tony: My first question is this: An orange is not orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false?
Tim: An orange is not an orange?
Tony: Sorry. An orange is not orange when it is first harvested.
Tim: That's a big difference.
Tony: Is a rose a rose by another name? I started off on the right foot here.
Ed: Just start over, Tony.
Tony: An orange is not orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false? I'm talking about the color. Second question, what everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s? Third question, what famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?
Tim: What famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?
Ed: My turn, right?
Tim: Your turn.
Ed: My first question is, what is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person? Or are they the same thing?
Tim: Interesting.
Ed: I don't just go down and pick out a website and get questions. I research and study these things.
Tim: That's very important to your Trivia Friday reputation.
Ed: My reputation is well learned, sir.
Tim: Is it preceding you?
Ed: When you say it precedes you, that's never good.
Tim: My second question is, why do apples float in water?
Ed: It's apple-bobbing season.
Tim: I've never liked apple-bobbing, even when I was a kid. I'm not going to put my face in a bucket of water where a lot of other faces have been and then open my mouth.
Ed: You're five years old. Five-year-olds don't care about health concerns. You see them drinking from a water fountain.
Tim: That's true. So why do apples float in water? I want to know the answer to that question. Number three, what states border the Pacific Ocean? Name them.
Ed: What states border the Pacific Ocean?
Tim: I will say this. Can I say that they're mostly states of confusion?
Ed: They are politically very confused.
Tim: There's something in the water.
Ed: That's why you shouldn't be putting your face in it.
Tim: All right, who's first?
Tim: We're going to North Carolina, and folks, it is first-time callers. This caller is left over from last week, and if there is a caller who is the exact opposite of a first-time caller, it's going to be Todd from Seagrove, North Carolina. Todd, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Todd: It's good to be back with you gentlemen. It's been a long time.
Tim: Yeah, Todd, it's been a while. How are you doing, my friend?
Todd: Unfortunately, I've come down with a cold, and that's why I'm able to call in today.
Tim: A few weeks ago, our producer, Brent Creeley, said we hadn't heard from Todd from Seagrove in a while, and we got a little concerned. You've been okay except for a cold, huh?
Todd: I've been going to my local senior center for a few months now, so that's why I haven't been able to call in. Since I've come down with a cold today, it was the perfect opportunity for me to get back in touch with everybody.
Tim: They don't let you use phones at the senior center?
Todd: The reception isn't very good there. Plus, we're always busy. Around this time we're usually eating lunch.
Tim: Plus, you've got the checkers going on.
Todd: And Reader's Digest. We have heavy activities.
Tim: If it was lunchtime, I wouldn't call either, so I'm with you, Todd. You probably have gotten in on this show more than anybody in history, so you know the rules. You want to ask, answer, or do both?
Todd: I would like to do both.
Tim: Which one do you want to try to answer?
Todd: I'm going to answer your question about the famous horse in history.
Tim: One of the most famous horses in history was named Bucephalus. What famous general did he belong to?
Todd: Alexander the Great.
Tim: Way to go. Did you just know that, or did you look it up?
Todd: History has always been one of my favorite subjects, so things like that have accumulated in my brain through the years.
Tim: Wonderful. Great job. What's your question for us?
Todd: I have an Old Testament question for you. In which chapter of Isaiah are the new heavens and new earth first written about?
Tim: Which chapter? I think I know the answer.
Ed: I may be off by a chapter, but I think it's Isaiah 65.
Tim: There we go. Ed came through for the team.
Ed: I was going to say Isaiah 64, somewhere around there.
Tim: I was thinking somewhere between 61 and 67.
Ed: Isaiah 67. That's a great chapter.
Tim: What's that chapter about?
Ed: That's been added recently, even though you're not supposed to do that.
Tim: Todd, it's good to hear you laugh, brother, and I hate that you have a cold, but I'm glad that it was able to get you onto the show today. Thanks for waiting for us last week.
Ed: Todd deserves this T-shirt.
Tim: He's won so many T-shirts.
Ed: I don't think you have the new one, Todd. Do you want the new one? We'll send you one.
Todd: Thank you. That's really nice.
Tim: Because you've won so many T-shirts, for a while you were saying, "Give it to somebody else," but I don't think you've got a new one. You need something to don at the senior center.
Ed: We don't want you to go in gay apparel.
Tim: We want you to don a T-shirt. You need to wear this down to the senior center, Todd.
Todd: I will certainly do that.
Tim: I'm going to have John hold Cindy Roberts get your information, and we'll send you the new design to go with your others. God bless you, brother.
Ed: Bless you, Todd.
Tony: Thank you, Todd. Have a good day.
Tim: Todd's a longtime caller and very supportive of our ministry. We appreciate him. All right, let's go to Iowa. Brett is on the line. Brett, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Brett: Hey, Brett. How are you doing?
Tim: Where do you live in Iowa?
Brett: West Union.
Tim: Where's that near?
Brett: The cornfields, about an hour away.
Tim: I thought you were going to say near a cornfield.
Brett: A cornfield survival.
Tim: All right, Brett. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Brett: I'll do both.
Tim: Which one do you want to answer?
Brett: Can you repeat them again?
Tim: First, President John F. Kennedy was a senator from which state? Second, during the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false? I will add one. Although Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt, she was not Egyptian. What was her ethnic background? Those are my three.
Tony: First question, an orange is not the color orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false? What everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s? And my last question is, what famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?
Ed: Mine are, what is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing? Number two, why do apples float in water? Number three, what states border the Pacific Ocean? Name them.
Tim: Can you pick one out, Brett?
Brett: John F. Kennedy. That's Massachusetts.
Tim: You got it right. Way to go, Brett. What's your question for us?
Brett: How many rivers actually border Iowa?
Tim: You mean form the border of the state?
Brett: Yes.
Tim: Obviously, the Mississippi.
Ed: That's one.
Tim: There's something on both sides. I've been to Omaha, and on the other side of Omaha you cross the bridge and you're in Iowa. There's a river there that runs down, but I can't remember the name.
Ed: He's asking how many.
Tim: We're talking amongst ourselves here, Brett. How about three?
Brett: Let's go with three.
Tim: Actually, it's four. Up in the northwest corner there's the Big Sioux River, which borders Iowa and South Dakota. There's also one in the southeast corner that borders us from Missouri.
Ed: What's that river?
Tim: It runs between Nebraska and Iowa.
Ed: That's the Missouri River.
Tim: The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. Did you realize that?
Ed: No.
Tim: Longer than the Mississippi.
Ed: Longer than the Mississippi. Wow.
Tim: It tracks from somewhere over west, all the way down to where it dumps into the Mississippi River. Anyway, it's the longest river in the United States.
Ed: Thank you, brother Brett. We appreciate it.
Tim: God bless you.
Tony: Who's next, Dad?
Tim: Brad is on the line. Brad, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Brad: Good morning, professors. How are you?
Ed: We're doing great.
Tim: We have earned our degrees.
Brad: And the title.
Ed: I just tell the truth.
Tim: Thank you, Brad. Where are you calling from in Arkansas?
Brad: Arkadelphia.
Tim: I've been there. That's where those two schools are. What is it, Watchtower Baptist and what's the other one?
Brad: Henderson State.
Tim: Henderson State, yeah. I appreciate you calling. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Brad: I would like to do both, please.
Tim: Which one do you want to answer?
Brad: I'd like to do the Salem witch trial.
Tim: During the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false? What say you, Brad?
Brad: That is correct. It is absolutely true.
Tim: What's true?
Brad: No witches were actually burned at the stake during the Salem witch trials. Most were hanged.
Ed: Really? Well, that's better.
Tim: I didn't say it was better. But you answered correctly.
Brad: Witches that were burned at the stake were burned in Europe.
Tim: I don't know whether they were actually witches or not.
Ed: If they were actual witches, they could have cast a spell to keep themselves from being hanged.
Tim: If they couldn't cast a spell to keep themselves from being hanged, they weren't really witches in the first place.
Brad: I don't think there's such a thing as a witch.
Tim: You don't think there are witches?
Brad: There are people who practice witchcraft, but I don't know that they're actually witches who have superpowers.
Ed: You don't think they can fly on brooms?
Brad: Exactly.
Tim: Which is your question for us, Brad?
Brad: At the Battle of New Orleans, a general was killed. Can you name that general? And can you name one of the individuals credited with the shot that killed the general?
Tim: You're talking about the Civil War?
Brad: The Battle of New Orleans, in 1814.
Tim: That's way before the Civil War.
Ed: This is the battle after the War of 1812.
Tim: Why does the song "City of New Orleans" come to mind when he says that?
Ed: What war was 1814? Was that just with the British?
Tim: That was with the British.
Ed: The British just wouldn't quit, would they?
Tim: Coming back for more.
Ed: I don't know the answer to this. Do you all know the answer?
Tim: I think you stumped us, Brad. What's the answer?
Brad: That was Major General Edward Pakenham, who was killed at the Chalmette battlefield on January 3, 1814.
Tim: Who shot him?
Brad: One of the individuals listed as being credited was Michael Womack, a sharpshooter.
Ed: He was a sharpshooter who moved to Arkansas and established another town from the very same city he was from in Tennessee.
Tim: That town is Nashville, where there is an AFR broadcast location.
Ed: We're just about out of time before the break.
Tim: That is interesting. Thank you, Brad.
Ed: Thank you, brother Brad.
Tim: We will return momentarily with more Trivia Friday.
Tim: All right, Ed, Tim, and Tony. We are here to do trivia today.
Tony: Yes, Tony is the offspring of Ed.
Ed: I've never referred to him as my offspring.
Tony: This is my offspring.
Ed: I think that's technically correct.
Tim: We are going to repeat our questions now, and then we'll get back to the phones. We will not repeat our questions again until after the top of the hour.
Tim: President John F. Kennedy was from Massachusetts. I want to know what the F stands for. John F. Kennedy, what does the F stand for? That's an easy question if you paid attention at all over the last sixty years.
Tim: Although Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt, she was not Egyptian. What was her ethnic background? I'm also going to ask another true-or-false question.
Ed: She's Hispanic or Latino.
Tim: That may be an overlap. Those may be the same, or they may not.
Ed: Tell me, Cleopatra was not an Egyptian?
Tim: She was not, even though she was the pharaoh.
Ed: Thus began the women's movement.
Tim: You are absolutely on your own.
Ed: Here's my true-or-false question. There are no plant-eating snakes in the world. Is that true or false?
Tony: First question, an orange is not the color orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false? What everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s? And lastly, what famous university is older than the Aztec Empire? Learning University is not the answer, so we will trim the possibilities down a little bit.
Ed: My three questions are, what is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing? Number two, why do apples float in water? And my final question is, what states border the Pacific Ocean? Name them.
Tim: Let's go back to the phones. We're going to go back to Arkansas. By the way, my Hispanic and Latino question can be answered without looking it up. If you can answer it, we'll send you a Trivia Friday T-shirt.
Ed: That's a hard question.
Tim: If you can call in and you are Hispanic or Latino and answer the question, we'll send you two shirts.
Tony: How are we going to prove that they are?
Tim: They're on the honor system.
Tony: If you made it over legally and did that, we'll send you three.
Ed: That was inappropriate, Tony.
Tony: He's my offspring.
Tim: We're going to go to Arkansas, and Cindy is on the line. Cindy, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Cindy: Hello.
Tim: Where are you calling from in Arkansas?
Cindy: Right now I'm on Highway 117 South, headed to the Dollar General.
Tim: You've got to be kidding.
Cindy: I just passed one, and I've just passed another one. I'm on my way back home from Virginia after visiting my mom.
Tim: We're glad you're safe, and I hope your mom is okay. Are you ready to do both?
Cindy: Yes.
Tim: Which one do you want to answer?
Cindy: I think I can tell you what states border the Pacific.
Tim: Go ahead.
Cindy: Alaska and Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington.
Tim: That is correct, although we are selling California to Russia, but for now, that's correct.
Cindy: I was thinking there were five. I forgot about Hawaii.
Tim: I was running this question by Allison, my wife, last night because I test these questions to see if they're good questions. She first said California, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. Then, like you, she forgot about Hawaii, which is out there by itself in the Pacific Ocean.
Ed: I saw a movie once. I have no idea what the movie was, but there was someone at an airport wanting to get an airline ticket. He walked up to the counter and said, "I want to get back to the States." The lady behind the counter said, "We are one of the states."
Tim: That was in Hawaii?
Ed: It was in Hawaii.
Tim: Way to go, Cindy. California, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii are the five states that border the Pacific Ocean. What's your question for us?
Cindy: It has to do with my home, Mountain View, Arkansas, which is world-famous for something. It is the folk music capital of the world.
Tim: Let us talk amongst ourselves here for a minute.
Ed: Jasper would know the answer because he's traveled all over Arkansas.
Tim: I've traveled all over Arkansas too. I'm thinking of something related to watermelons.
Ed: I have zero idea.
Tony: If you say watermelon, that's what comes to mind, but I may be thinking of Georgia.
Tim: Cave City, Arkansas, is famous for its watermelons, not Mountain View.
Cindy: Mountain View is the folk music capital of the world. People come from all over to Mountain View for music.
Tim: It's like a little Nashville.
Cindy: It is all year long. Every evening, as long as the weather permits, people with instruments get together and jam at the second part.
Tim: At the second part?
Cindy: All except for a few months of the year, there are concerts at the courthouse.
Tim: Do you ever go down there?
Cindy: Oh, yes. It's fabulous. There are free events all over town.
Tim: There's the Folk Center and the Dulcimer Shop. You've got some fabulous folk music going on there everywhere.
Ed: I just looked up Mountain View, Arkansas, and the first thing that comes up on their website is all the folk music you're talking about.
Cindy: In October, there is a mountain music and motorcycle festival.
Tim: Mountain music and motorcycles.
Cindy: Yes.
Tim: You did a great job promoting Mountain View, Arkansas. I looked up the website. It has a lot of music and wonderful things going on.
Ed: What happens if you live in Mountain View and don't like folk music?
Tim: They have heavy metal on the town square every other Saturday night, just to mix things up.
Ed: They have Metallica coming next month.
Tim: Metallica?
Ed: I like Metallica.
Tim: Who's next? Let's go to Texas. Tony from Texas is on the line. Tony, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Tony from Texas: Good morning.
Tim: Where do you live in Texas?
Tony from Texas: Garland.
Tim: We know where Garland is. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Tony from Texas: I'd like to do both.
Tim: Which question do you want to answer?
Tony from Texas: I'd like to answer the question from my namesake, also known as Ed Vatagliano.
Ed: Always good to meet a fellow Tony. Who are you named after?
Tony from Texas: My dad.
Ed: What was your dad's name?
Tony from Texas: Burl.
Ed: So Tony Vatagliano, son of Burl. I'm doing like the Bible does it: Tony, son of Burl.
Tim: Burl is a unique name. Is that a nickname for something?
Tony from Texas: No, that was his actual name. I'm not sure where it came from.
Ed: That's like Milton Berle.
Tim: There were a lot of names that were famous in the early twentieth century that aren't even around today anymore.
Tony from Texas: I want to answer the question about the orange.
Tony: The question is, an orange is not the color orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false?
Tony from Texas: True.
Tony: That is true. Very good.
Tim: What color is it?
Tony from Texas: I have no clue.
Tony: It is actually green when it is harvested.
Tim: The reason this is interesting is that I went down the rabbit hole on this. Oranges originally come from Southeast Asia, where it is really hot. The fruit produces chlorophyll as a natural sunscreen to protect it from the heat and sunburn. When it is exposed to cold, the chlorophyll breaks down and it turns orange.
Tony: Here in the States, they treat them with ethylene gas to break down the chlorophyll.
Tim: The orange actually tastes the same whether it is green or orange, but people won't buy a green orange because they think it isn't ready or ripe.
Tony: Most of the oranges in the United States come from Florida, I'm guessing.
Tony: Citrus is cut green.
Tim: They're treated once they're harvested if they're still green.
Ed: You treated that, Tony.
Tony: It's more than you wanted to know.
Tim: You can take that knowledge and use it somewhere down life's road.
Ed: I'm sure it'll come up again.
Tim: What's your question for us, Tony?
Tony from Texas: Last week you had some trivia, or maybe it was just some music, and I remember "Gunsmoke." I called in, but my phone disconnected me while I was on hold. There was a famous singer on "Gunsmoke." What was his name, and what song was he famous for?
Tim: Was he a recurring character or a regular?
Tony from Texas: He was a recurring character.
Ed: I think "Gunsmoke" was a little before my time in terms of its original run. My mother loved "Gunsmoke," but I have no idea.
Tim: I don't know the answer. I think you've stumped us, Tony. What's the answer?
Tony from Texas: His name was Sheb Wooley, and he had a song called "The Purple People Eater."
Tim: I remember "The Purple People Eater" from the fifties.
Tony from Texas: It came out in 1958.
Ed: That's the year I was born.
Tim: I know. I don't look it.
Tony from Texas: Roger Miller was instrumental in getting Sheb Wooley into the music business. He taught him his first guitar chords, bought him his first fiddle, and taught him how to play it. They traveled together for some time.
Tim: That's interesting. Tony, how old are you?
Tony from Texas: I'm in my sixties.
Tim: I find it interesting that you have an interest in the fifties and in singers from that time. How did you get interested in music from the fifties?
Tony from Texas: I love fifties music. I like a lot of old music, and I happened to stumble onto that. I thought it was kind of cool.
Tim: I like it. Thank you, Tony. We appreciate it.
Ed: Thank you for sticking with it. You lost connection last week, but you persevered and came through to get on the show again this week.
Tim: We're going to Tennessee, and Roscoe is on the line. Roscoe, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Roscoe: I wanted to give a further answer to one that you've already dispatched with a yes or no. It was the one about whether witches were ever burned in America.
Tim: The answer is no.
Roscoe: The reason is that the trial for witchcraft included being tied to a chair and thrown in a well. If you were an ordinary person, you were supposed to sink and die, and you were innocent. If you were a witch, you would float, and then they would take you out and burn you. That never happened.
Tim: What I read said they were hanged as part of the trial.
Roscoe: If they were found guilty, yes.
Tim: I have no reason to doubt you, but if that is true, your innocence was proven by the fact that you drowned.
Roscoe: Right.
Tim: I think you're right that people were found guilty and hanged in America.
Roscoe: A normal part of a witch trial was to tie someone to a chair, throw them in a well, and see if they floated. Of course, those people were always innocent.
Tim: You know, the Biden Department of Justice tried to do the same thing with January 6. Were you there at the Capitol?
Roscoe: We'll find out. We'll find out if you float.
Tim: That's interesting. Thank you for that. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Roscoe: I wanted to add something else. The previous caller's reasoning was that there is no such thing as witches. In the book of Exodus it says, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." I think it depends on how you define witch. If someone routinely attempts to practice witchcraft, that makes them a witch, whether anything is actually happening or not. As a kid, I pointed this out to grown-ups who said there was no such thing as a witch. I said, "Then why does it say this in the Bible?"
Tim: Let's reset the question. What is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing? If you can answer this without looking it up, we'll send you an AFR T-shirt.
Roscoe: I learned this from my daughter a couple of years ago. If you or your ancestors speak Spanish, then you're Hispanic. If you or your ancestors speak Portuguese, then you're Latino, because Portuguese is a Latin-based language. Some Hispanics are Latinos, but not all Latinos are Hispanics.
Tim: I think that's correct.
Roscoe: I think that's correct.
Tim: Hispanic refers to people from Spanish-speaking countries. People in Spain are Hispanic.
Roscoe: Right.
Tim: Latino refers to people from Latin American countries. Brazilians speak Portuguese, so they would be Latino but not Hispanic. People in Latin America may speak Spanish or Portuguese. That's what you were trying to get across, so we'll give you credit.
Ed: Are you Hispanic, Roscoe?
Roscoe: I don't think so.
Ed: Are you Latino?
Roscoe: I don't think so.
Tim: Do you speak Spanish?
Roscoe: Only what I learned from "Sesame Street" and since.
Ed: Then you're not Hispanic, but he does get a T-shirt.
Tim: Roscoe, who was helping you? Was that your wife?
Roscoe: No, it was my daughter.
Tim: Your daughter was the one who first told you that distinction?
Roscoe: Yes.
Tim: We will send you two T-shirts. Before we let you go, you have a question for us, because we're waiting until after the break.
Roscoe: I do.
Tim: Hold on. We'll get your information during the break.
Tim: Folks, we'll take a five-minute break for news, and we'll be right back on Trivia Friday.
Tim: Welcome to Trivia Friday on American Family Radio. Thanks for listening to AFR. It's October 2. We have Ed Vatagliano with us this morning. Good morning, Ed.
Ed: Good morning, Tim.
Tim: Ed's firstborn is joining us here as well.
Ed: Actually, secondborn.
Tim: Oh, my bad. Sorry.
Tony: Good morning.
Ed: The problem with your little example there is that you're implying your sister has hairy arms.
Tony: I didn't realize the implication.
Ed: My daughter Lindsay.
Tim: So I've got Tony and Lindsay's birth order straight. Tony's here, Ed's here, I'm here, and JJ is out this week. He'll be back next week. I assume he gets over his latitude problem that he's had. We've told him, "When you get that worked out, come back." He's probably speaking somewhere. I think he's doing some work around the house for his daughter, helping her build a house or something like that.
Ed: Literally.
Tim: Yeah, that's what he's doing. Being a good dad. He's still very good at that. He's got a lot of skill built up over the years and can do just about anything.
Tim: It's Trivia Friday on American Family Radio. It's first-time callers only, although we do have one gentleman, a longtime listener and multicaler, on the line. We're going to go to him in just a minute. He's left over from last week.
Ed: From last week.
Tim: He held on, so we didn't want to throw him overboard. What are the ground rules here, Ed, for this show?
Ed: Well, I'll tell you. Here Tim is, this is a trivia show, and so we have trivia for our listeners. We have gone deep into the halls of learning to drag out some of the best questions.
Tim: Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Ed: You're setting the frame.
Tim: I'm setting the frame.
Tony: He's painting a picture.
Ed: I am painting a picture with words, and we have brought forth, as you like to say, Tim, questions that should challenge you. Three questions each, and we're inviting you to call in, pick one of those to try to answer, and go into the halls of learning yourself and bring questions forth unto us. The number to call is 888-589-8840. First-time callers only. Call to ask, answer, or do both. We like for you to do both.
Tim: Three professors, three questions each, nine questions. One of those is a special mystery question. If you land on it and answer correctly, you'll hear the sound of the blooded cowbells ringing, and we'll know that you scored.
Ed: At least one. You have to get one.
Tim: Tony and I are Mississippi State fans, and I guess we're looking forward to playing Alabama tomorrow. We'll find out about the middle of the second quarter whether we really like that experience or not.
Ed: That's right.
Tim: If you answer the question correctly, you will win a Learning University T-shirt when you hear that cowbell. For those of you watching online, you saw Tim waving it like a matador waving a red flag.
Ed: A red and gold T-shirt. You can buy one for yourself, too.
Tim: You can get one for twenty dollars. That's a deal in today's world.
Ed: Where can you buy it?
Tim: Go to resources.afa.net. Search for T-shirts or Trivia Friday and take a look at what it looks like.
Ed: Our Learning University T-shirt is cheaper than a gallon of diesel.
Tim: Diesel is up to twenty-two dollars a gallon today. Nothing would surprise me.
Tim: We said callers should be eleven years old or older, and I think we've covered everything.
Ed: Here are my three questions. First, President John F. Kennedy was a senator from which state?
Tim: President John F. Kennedy was a senator from which state before he became president?
Ed: Second, one of the most famous horses in history was named Bucephalus. To what famous general did he belong?
Tim: All these generals had horses that were famous. What was the horse's name?
Ed: Bucephalus.
Tim: He had to have a nickname.
Ed: Young Bucey.
Tim: Seriously, in history there was a horse of a famous general, and the horse's name was what?
Ed: Bucephalus.
Tim: All right, Bucephalus. And third, during the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false?
Ed: During the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false?
Tony: My first question is this: An orange is not orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false?
Tim: An orange is not an orange?
Tony: Sorry. An orange is not orange when it is first harvested.
Tim: That's a big difference.
Tony: Is a rose a rose by another name? I started off on the right foot here.
Ed: Just start over, Tony.
Tony: An orange is not orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false? I'm talking about the color. Second question, what everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s? Third question, what famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?
Tim: What famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?
Ed: My turn, right?
Tim: Your turn.
Ed: My first question is, what is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person? Or are they the same thing?
Tim: Interesting.
Ed: I don't just go down and pick out a website and get questions. I research and study these things.
Tim: That's very important to your Trivia Friday reputation.
Ed: My reputation is well learned, sir.
Tim: Is it preceding you?
Ed: When you say it precedes you, that's never good.
Tim: My second question is, why do apples float in water?
Ed: It's apple-bobbing season.
Tim: I've never liked apple-bobbing, even when I was a kid. I'm not going to put my face in a bucket of water where a lot of other faces have been and then open my mouth.
Ed: You're five years old. Five-year-olds don't care about health concerns. You see them drinking from a water fountain.
Tim: That's true. So why do apples float in water? I want to know the answer to that question. Number three, what states border the Pacific Ocean? Name them.
Ed: What states border the Pacific Ocean?
Tim: I will say this. Can I say that they're mostly states of confusion?
Ed: They are politically very confused.
Tim: There's something in the water.
Ed: That's why you shouldn't be putting your face in it.
Tim: All right, who's first?
Tim: We're going to North Carolina, and folks, it is first-time callers. This caller is left over from last week, and if there is a caller who is the exact opposite of a first-time caller, it's going to be Todd from Seagrove, North Carolina. Todd, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Todd: It's good to be back with you gentlemen. It's been a long time.
Tim: Yeah, Todd, it's been a while. How are you doing, my friend?
Todd: Unfortunately, I've come down with a cold, and that's why I'm able to call in today.
Tim: A few weeks ago, our producer, Brent Creeley, said we hadn't heard from Todd from Seagrove in a while, and we got a little concerned. You've been okay except for a cold, huh?
Todd: I've been going to my local senior center for a few months now, so that's why I haven't been able to call in. Since I've come down with a cold today, it was the perfect opportunity for me to get back in touch with everybody.
Tim: They don't let you use phones at the senior center?
Todd: The reception isn't very good there. Plus, we're always busy. Around this time we're usually eating lunch.
Tim: Plus, you've got the checkers going on.
Todd: And Reader's Digest. We have heavy activities.
Tim: If it was lunchtime, I wouldn't call either, so I'm with you, Todd. You probably have gotten in on this show more than anybody in history, so you know the rules. You want to ask, answer, or do both?
Todd: I would like to do both.
Tim: Which one do you want to try to answer?
Todd: I'm going to answer your question about the famous horse in history.
Tim: One of the most famous horses in history was named Bucephalus. What famous general did he belong to?
Todd: Alexander the Great.
Tim: Way to go. Did you just know that, or did you look it up?
Todd: History has always been one of my favorite subjects, so things like that have accumulated in my brain through the years.
Tim: Wonderful. Great job. What's your question for us?
Todd: I have an Old Testament question for you. In which chapter of Isaiah are the new heavens and new earth first written about?
Tim: Which chapter? I think I know the answer.
Ed: I may be off by a chapter, but I think it's Isaiah 65.
Tim: There we go. Ed came through for the team.
Ed: I was going to say Isaiah 64, somewhere around there.
Tim: I was thinking somewhere between 61 and 67.
Ed: Isaiah 67. That's a great chapter.
Tim: What's that chapter about?
Ed: That's been added recently, even though you're not supposed to do that.
Tim: Todd, it's good to hear you laugh, brother, and I hate that you have a cold, but I'm glad that it was able to get you onto the show today. Thanks for waiting for us last week.
Ed: Todd deserves this T-shirt.
Tim: He's won so many T-shirts.
Ed: I don't think you have the new one, Todd. Do you want the new one? We'll send you one.
Todd: Thank you. That's really nice.
Tim: Because you've won so many T-shirts, for a while you were saying, "Give it to somebody else," but I don't think you've got a new one. You need something to don at the senior center.
Ed: We don't want you to go in gay apparel.
Tim: We want you to don a T-shirt. You need to wear this down to the senior center, Todd.
Todd: I will certainly do that.
Tim: I'm going to have John hold Cindy Roberts get your information, and we'll send you the new design to go with your others. God bless you, brother.
Ed: Bless you, Todd.
Tony: Thank you, Todd. Have a good day.
Tim: Todd's a longtime caller and very supportive of our ministry. We appreciate him. All right, let's go to Iowa. Brett is on the line. Brett, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Brett: Hey, Brett. How are you doing?
Tim: Where do you live in Iowa?
Brett: West Union.
Tim: Where's that near?
Brett: The cornfields, about an hour away.
Tim: I thought you were going to say near a cornfield.
Brett: A cornfield survival.
Tim: All right, Brett. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Brett: I'll do both.
Tim: Which one do you want to answer?
Brett: Can you repeat them again?
Tim: First, President John F. Kennedy was a senator from which state? Second, during the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false? I will add one. Although Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt, she was not Egyptian. What was her ethnic background? Those are my three.
Tony: First question, an orange is not the color orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false? What everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s? And my last question is, what famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?
Ed: Mine are, what is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing? Number two, why do apples float in water? Number three, what states border the Pacific Ocean? Name them.
Tim: Can you pick one out, Brett?
Brett: John F. Kennedy. That's Massachusetts.
Tim: You got it right. Way to go, Brett. What's your question for us?
Brett: How many rivers actually border Iowa?
Tim: You mean form the border of the state?
Brett: Yes.
Tim: Obviously, the Mississippi.
Ed: That's one.
Tim: There's something on both sides. I've been to Omaha, and on the other side of Omaha you cross the bridge and you're in Iowa. There's a river there that runs down, but I can't remember the name.
Ed: He's asking how many.
Tim: We're talking amongst ourselves here, Brett. How about three?
Brett: Let's go with three.
Tim: Actually, it's four. Up in the northwest corner there's the Big Sioux River, which borders Iowa and South Dakota. There's also one in the southeast corner that borders us from Missouri.
Ed: What's that river?
Tim: It runs between Nebraska and Iowa.
Ed: That's the Missouri River.
Tim: The Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. Did you realize that?
Ed: No.
Tim: Longer than the Mississippi.
Ed: Longer than the Mississippi. Wow.
Tim: It tracks from somewhere over west, all the way down to where it dumps into the Mississippi River. Anyway, it's the longest river in the United States.
Ed: Thank you, brother Brett. We appreciate it.
Tim: God bless you.
Tony: Who's next, Dad?
Tim: Brad is on the line. Brad, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Brad: Good morning, professors. How are you?
Ed: We're doing great.
Tim: We have earned our degrees.
Brad: And the title.
Ed: I just tell the truth.
Tim: Thank you, Brad. Where are you calling from in Arkansas?
Brad: Arkadelphia.
Tim: I've been there. That's where those two schools are. What is it, Watchtower Baptist and what's the other one?
Brad: Henderson State.
Tim: Henderson State, yeah. I appreciate you calling. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Brad: I would like to do both, please.
Tim: Which one do you want to answer?
Brad: I'd like to do the Salem witch trial.
Tim: During the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts, no witches were actually burned at the stake. Is that true or false? What say you, Brad?
Brad: That is correct. It is absolutely true.
Tim: What's true?
Brad: No witches were actually burned at the stake during the Salem witch trials. Most were hanged.
Ed: Really? Well, that's better.
Tim: I didn't say it was better. But you answered correctly.
Brad: Witches that were burned at the stake were burned in Europe.
Tim: I don't know whether they were actually witches or not.
Ed: If they were actual witches, they could have cast a spell to keep themselves from being hanged.
Tim: If they couldn't cast a spell to keep themselves from being hanged, they weren't really witches in the first place.
Brad: I don't think there's such a thing as a witch.
Tim: You don't think there are witches?
Brad: There are people who practice witchcraft, but I don't know that they're actually witches who have superpowers.
Ed: You don't think they can fly on brooms?
Brad: Exactly.
Tim: Which is your question for us, Brad?
Brad: At the Battle of New Orleans, a general was killed. Can you name that general? And can you name one of the individuals credited with the shot that killed the general?
Tim: You're talking about the Civil War?
Brad: The Battle of New Orleans, in 1814.
Tim: That's way before the Civil War.
Ed: This is the battle after the War of 1812.
Tim: Why does the song "City of New Orleans" come to mind when he says that?
Ed: What war was 1814? Was that just with the British?
Tim: That was with the British.
Ed: The British just wouldn't quit, would they?
Tim: Coming back for more.
Ed: I don't know the answer to this. Do you all know the answer?
Tim: I think you stumped us, Brad. What's the answer?
Brad: That was Major General Edward Pakenham, who was killed at the Chalmette battlefield on January 3, 1814.
Tim: Who shot him?
Brad: One of the individuals listed as being credited was Michael Womack, a sharpshooter.
Ed: He was a sharpshooter who moved to Arkansas and established another town from the very same city he was from in Tennessee.
Tim: That town is Nashville, where there is an AFR broadcast location.
Ed: We're just about out of time before the break.
Tim: That is interesting. Thank you, Brad.
Ed: Thank you, brother Brad.
Tim: We will return momentarily with more Trivia Friday.
Tim: All right, Ed, Tim, and Tony. We are here to do trivia today.
Tony: Yes, Tony is the offspring of Ed.
Ed: I've never referred to him as my offspring.
Tony: This is my offspring.
Ed: I think that's technically correct.
Tim: We are going to repeat our questions now, and then we'll get back to the phones. We will not repeat our questions again until after the top of the hour.
Tim: President John F. Kennedy was from Massachusetts. I want to know what the F stands for. John F. Kennedy, what does the F stand for? That's an easy question if you paid attention at all over the last sixty years.
Tim: Although Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt, she was not Egyptian. What was her ethnic background? I'm also going to ask another true-or-false question.
Ed: She's Hispanic or Latino.
Tim: That may be an overlap. Those may be the same, or they may not.
Ed: Tell me, Cleopatra was not an Egyptian?
Tim: She was not, even though she was the pharaoh.
Ed: Thus began the women's movement.
Tim: You are absolutely on your own.
Ed: Here's my true-or-false question. There are no plant-eating snakes in the world. Is that true or false?
Tony: First question, an orange is not the color orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false? What everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s? And lastly, what famous university is older than the Aztec Empire? Learning University is not the answer, so we will trim the possibilities down a little bit.
Ed: My three questions are, what is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing? Number two, why do apples float in water? And my final question is, what states border the Pacific Ocean? Name them.
Tim: Let's go back to the phones. We're going to go back to Arkansas. By the way, my Hispanic and Latino question can be answered without looking it up. If you can answer it, we'll send you a Trivia Friday T-shirt.
Ed: That's a hard question.
Tim: If you can call in and you are Hispanic or Latino and answer the question, we'll send you two shirts.
Tony: How are we going to prove that they are?
Tim: They're on the honor system.
Tony: If you made it over legally and did that, we'll send you three.
Ed: That was inappropriate, Tony.
Tony: He's my offspring.
Tim: We're going to go to Arkansas, and Cindy is on the line. Cindy, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Cindy: Hello.
Tim: Where are you calling from in Arkansas?
Cindy: Right now I'm on Highway 117 South, headed to the Dollar General.
Tim: You've got to be kidding.
Cindy: I just passed one, and I've just passed another one. I'm on my way back home from Virginia after visiting my mom.
Tim: We're glad you're safe, and I hope your mom is okay. Are you ready to do both?
Cindy: Yes.
Tim: Which one do you want to answer?
Cindy: I think I can tell you what states border the Pacific.
Tim: Go ahead.
Cindy: Alaska and Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington.
Tim: That is correct, although we are selling California to Russia, but for now, that's correct.
Cindy: I was thinking there were five. I forgot about Hawaii.
Tim: I was running this question by Allison, my wife, last night because I test these questions to see if they're good questions. She first said California, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. Then, like you, she forgot about Hawaii, which is out there by itself in the Pacific Ocean.
Ed: I saw a movie once. I have no idea what the movie was, but there was someone at an airport wanting to get an airline ticket. He walked up to the counter and said, "I want to get back to the States." The lady behind the counter said, "We are one of the states."
Tim: That was in Hawaii?
Ed: It was in Hawaii.
Tim: Way to go, Cindy. California, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii are the five states that border the Pacific Ocean. What's your question for us?
Cindy: It has to do with my home, Mountain View, Arkansas, which is world-famous for something. It is the folk music capital of the world.
Tim: Let us talk amongst ourselves here for a minute.
Ed: Jasper would know the answer because he's traveled all over Arkansas.
Tim: I've traveled all over Arkansas too. I'm thinking of something related to watermelons.
Ed: I have zero idea.
Tony: If you say watermelon, that's what comes to mind, but I may be thinking of Georgia.
Tim: Cave City, Arkansas, is famous for its watermelons, not Mountain View.
Cindy: Mountain View is the folk music capital of the world. People come from all over to Mountain View for music.
Tim: It's like a little Nashville.
Cindy: It is all year long. Every evening, as long as the weather permits, people with instruments get together and jam at the second part.
Tim: At the second part?
Cindy: All except for a few months of the year, there are concerts at the courthouse.
Tim: Do you ever go down there?
Cindy: Oh, yes. It's fabulous. There are free events all over town.
Tim: There's the Folk Center and the Dulcimer Shop. You've got some fabulous folk music going on there everywhere.
Ed: I just looked up Mountain View, Arkansas, and the first thing that comes up on their website is all the folk music you're talking about.
Cindy: In October, there is a mountain music and motorcycle festival.
Tim: Mountain music and motorcycles.
Cindy: Yes.
Tim: You did a great job promoting Mountain View, Arkansas. I looked up the website. It has a lot of music and wonderful things going on.
Ed: What happens if you live in Mountain View and don't like folk music?
Tim: They have heavy metal on the town square every other Saturday night, just to mix things up.
Ed: They have Metallica coming next month.
Tim: Metallica?
Ed: I like Metallica.
Tim: Who's next? Let's go to Texas. Tony from Texas is on the line. Tony, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Tony from Texas: Good morning.
Tim: Where do you live in Texas?
Tony from Texas: Garland.
Tim: We know where Garland is. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Tony from Texas: I'd like to do both.
Tim: Which question do you want to answer?
Tony from Texas: I'd like to answer the question from my namesake, also known as Ed Vatagliano.
Ed: Always good to meet a fellow Tony. Who are you named after?
Tony from Texas: My dad.
Ed: What was your dad's name?
Tony from Texas: Burl.
Ed: So Tony Vatagliano, son of Burl. I'm doing like the Bible does it: Tony, son of Burl.
Tim: Burl is a unique name. Is that a nickname for something?
Tony from Texas: No, that was his actual name. I'm not sure where it came from.
Ed: That's like Milton Berle.
Tim: There were a lot of names that were famous in the early twentieth century that aren't even around today anymore.
Tony from Texas: I want to answer the question about the orange.
Tony: The question is, an orange is not the color orange when it is first harvested. Is that true or false?
Tony from Texas: True.
Tony: That is true. Very good.
Tim: What color is it?
Tony from Texas: I have no clue.
Tony: It is actually green when it is harvested.
Tim: The reason this is interesting is that I went down the rabbit hole on this. Oranges originally come from Southeast Asia, where it is really hot. The fruit produces chlorophyll as a natural sunscreen to protect it from the heat and sunburn. When it is exposed to cold, the chlorophyll breaks down and it turns orange.
Tony: Here in the States, they treat them with ethylene gas to break down the chlorophyll.
Tim: The orange actually tastes the same whether it is green or orange, but people won't buy a green orange because they think it isn't ready or ripe.
Tony: Most of the oranges in the United States come from Florida, I'm guessing.
Tony: Citrus is cut green.
Tim: They're treated once they're harvested if they're still green.
Ed: You treated that, Tony.
Tony: It's more than you wanted to know.
Tim: You can take that knowledge and use it somewhere down life's road.
Ed: I'm sure it'll come up again.
Tim: What's your question for us, Tony?
Tony from Texas: Last week you had some trivia, or maybe it was just some music, and I remember "Gunsmoke." I called in, but my phone disconnected me while I was on hold. There was a famous singer on "Gunsmoke." What was his name, and what song was he famous for?
Tim: Was he a recurring character or a regular?
Tony from Texas: He was a recurring character.
Ed: I think "Gunsmoke" was a little before my time in terms of its original run. My mother loved "Gunsmoke," but I have no idea.
Tim: I don't know the answer. I think you've stumped us, Tony. What's the answer?
Tony from Texas: His name was Sheb Wooley, and he had a song called "The Purple People Eater."
Tim: I remember "The Purple People Eater" from the fifties.
Tony from Texas: It came out in 1958.
Ed: That's the year I was born.
Tim: I know. I don't look it.
Tony from Texas: Roger Miller was instrumental in getting Sheb Wooley into the music business. He taught him his first guitar chords, bought him his first fiddle, and taught him how to play it. They traveled together for some time.
Tim: That's interesting. Tony, how old are you?
Tony from Texas: I'm in my sixties.
Tim: I find it interesting that you have an interest in the fifties and in singers from that time. How did you get interested in music from the fifties?
Tony from Texas: I love fifties music. I like a lot of old music, and I happened to stumble onto that. I thought it was kind of cool.
Tim: I like it. Thank you, Tony. We appreciate it.
Ed: Thank you for sticking with it. You lost connection last week, but you persevered and came through to get on the show again this week.
Tim: We're going to Tennessee, and Roscoe is on the line. Roscoe, welcome to Trivia Friday.
Roscoe: I wanted to give a further answer to one that you've already dispatched with a yes or no. It was the one about whether witches were ever burned in America.
Tim: The answer is no.
Roscoe: The reason is that the trial for witchcraft included being tied to a chair and thrown in a well. If you were an ordinary person, you were supposed to sink and die, and you were innocent. If you were a witch, you would float, and then they would take you out and burn you. That never happened.
Tim: What I read said they were hanged as part of the trial.
Roscoe: If they were found guilty, yes.
Tim: I have no reason to doubt you, but if that is true, your innocence was proven by the fact that you drowned.
Roscoe: Right.
Tim: I think you're right that people were found guilty and hanged in America.
Roscoe: A normal part of a witch trial was to tie someone to a chair, throw them in a well, and see if they floated. Of course, those people were always innocent.
Tim: You know, the Biden Department of Justice tried to do the same thing with January 6. Were you there at the Capitol?
Roscoe: We'll find out. We'll find out if you float.
Tim: That's interesting. Thank you for that. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?
Roscoe: I wanted to add something else. The previous caller's reasoning was that there is no such thing as witches. In the book of Exodus it says, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." I think it depends on how you define witch. If someone routinely attempts to practice witchcraft, that makes them a witch, whether anything is actually happening or not. As a kid, I pointed this out to grown-ups who said there was no such thing as a witch. I said, "Then why does it say this in the Bible?"
Tim: Let's reset the question. What is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing? If you can answer this without looking it up, we'll send you an AFR T-shirt.
Roscoe: I learned this from my daughter a couple of years ago. If you or your ancestors speak Spanish, then you're Hispanic. If you or your ancestors speak Portuguese, then you're Latino, because Portuguese is a Latin-based language. Some Hispanics are Latinos, but not all Latinos are Hispanics.
Tim: I think that's correct.
Roscoe: I think that's correct.
Tim: Hispanic refers to people from Spanish-speaking countries. People in Spain are Hispanic.
Roscoe: Right.
Tim: Latino refers to people from Latin American countries. Brazilians speak Portuguese, so they would be Latino but not Hispanic. People in Latin America may speak Spanish or Portuguese. That's what you were trying to get across, so we'll give you credit.
Ed: Are you Hispanic, Roscoe?
Roscoe: I don't think so.
Ed: Are you Latino?
Roscoe: I don't think so.
Tim: Do you speak Spanish?
Roscoe: Only what I learned from "Sesame Street" and since.
Ed: Then you're not Hispanic, but he does get a T-shirt.
Tim: Roscoe, who was helping you? Was that your wife?
Roscoe: No, it was my daughter.
Tim: Your daughter was the one who first told you that distinction?
Roscoe: Yes.
Tim: We will send you two T-shirts. Before we let you go, you have a question for us, because we're waiting until after the break.
Roscoe: I do.
Tim: Hold on. We'll get your information during the break.
Tim: Folks, we'll take a five-minute break for news, and we'll be right back on Trivia Friday.
Trivia Friday features Tim Wildmon, Ed Vatagliano, and Tony Vatagliano serving as the professors of Learning University. The hosts present questions about John F. Kennedy, the horse Bucephalus, the Salem witch trials, oranges, apples, universities, Cleopatra, Pacific states, and more. Callers Todd, Brett, Brad, Cindy, Tony, and Roscoe join the game with answers and questions of their own. The hour includes friendly competition, surprising facts, humorous exchanges, caller stories, and discussions about history, geography, Bible passages, folk music, and classic television and music.
