Host: Welcome back to Trivia Friday. Ed, Tony, and JJ are your professors. Tim will be back in the captain's chair on Monday, Lord willing.

JJ: Before we go back to the phones, I want to say hello to some new friends. I was at Bethany Baptist in only, Arkansas, last weekend, but I want to mention Green Valley Baptist Church in Pontotoc, Mississippi. Frank Turek, "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist," is going to be there Sunday morning and Sunday night. Green Valley Baptist Church in Pontotoc, Mississippi, Sunday morning at 10 o'clock and Sunday evening at 5.

JJ: I would appreciate prayers next week. I'm speaking at the Pastors Fishbowl retreat for pastors and their wives with Brother Bert and Jan. They do a wonderful job. It's not a conference. This retreat has been sold out for several months, but pray for the pastors. October is designated Pastor Appreciation Month, so double up on your prayers for your pastor. Maybe write an encouraging letter or take your pastor and the whole family out to eat. They have a difficult job.

JJ: Even though they get a lot of jokes, like, "It must be nice to work three hours a week," pastors marry and counsel people, go to the emergency room at two in the morning, and are there at the hospital when somebody has a heart attack.

Host: You're describing it right, aren't you? Pray for your local pastor. In fact, do that right now. If you haven't prayed for your pastor today, pray for him, and then again, pray for these pastors and their spouses. I would appreciate your prayers as I speak next week.

JJ: Amen.

Host: Amen. All right, we'll go back to the phones, and in about seven or eight minutes, we'll give our questions for the last time.

Tony: I need to add one. I'm out.

Host: Oh, are you out?

Tony: All right, well, I've learned my lesson now. I can't do that again. I followed Mr. Tim's advice and got cleaned out.

Host: Let me just throw one in there.

Tony: Well, let's just go ahead and reset our questions. I have three remaining.

Host: I'm in the opposite boat. I should have left one of these out. My first remaining question, one of my original three, is a true-or-false question: Pigeons can do math at the same level as monkeys. Is that true or false?

Host: I should say pigeons can do math at the same level as monkeys or Common Core students.

Tony: Oh, that was a possible one. You had to go there.

Host: Sorry. Second question: Who was the longest-living U.S. president? Third question: Who was the first U.S. president to appear on television?

Tony: All right, I'm going to add two. I can't take the risk.

Host: Yeah, you're a rule keeper. You can do it now.

Tony: What common household invention was inspired by a dog returning from a walk covered in burrs? A common household invention was inspired by a dog who returned from a walk covered in burrs.

Host: I like it.

Tony: My second question is, what famous American landmark was originally intended to serve as a lighthouse?

Host: Good.

Tony: If you don't have this album, or if you have never seen them in concert, you're really missing out. Big Glider and all your friends, make sure they get their Big Glider and go see the Burr-Covered Dog.

Host: There's somebody listening going, "What a great idea."

Tony: I don't believe only one member in the band actually had a burr-covered dog.

Host: Here's what I've got. I'm going to throw another one in there. I know we're out of time, but I'll give people more variety. I don't find ways to waste my questions. The first one is true or false: Only one of the Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson, actually knew how to surf. Is that true or false?

Host: Then Dorset, Uriel, and Jacob are types of what? Everybody knows that. Dorset, Uriel, and Jacob. If you've got a little sitting around the house...

Tony: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know the answer to this.

Host: I didn't either. The third question I had was this: Hall of Fame NBA player Larry Bird also won NBA Coach of the Year while coaching which team?

Host: Hall of Famer NBA player Larry Bird also won NBA Coach of the Year while coaching which team?

Tony: I think I know the answer to that.

Host: Well, I guess we'll find out. All right, now we'll go back to the phones. We're going first to Kansas, and Terry is on the line. Terry, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Caller: Good morning, guys.

Host: Good morning to you, sir. Where do you live in Kansas?

Caller: Great Bend.

Host: Great Bend. Have you ever been there?

Caller: Yes, sir.

Host: All right, Terry, do you want to ask, answer, or do both?

Caller: I'll just answer the dog burr question, the one about the household invention.

Host: All right, Terry. What common household invention was inspired by a dog returning from a walk covered in burrs?

Caller: Velcro.

Host: That's all right. I wrote it down on the paper. I believe you're right. Velcro. Swiss engineer George de Mestral saw the burrs under a microscope and saw how they hook together.

Tony: He took out his army knife and said, "I'm going to start prying that off there and figure out what makes a better way to do this."

Host: What makes something stick, but easily come off, while still sticking sufficiently?

Tony: They have tiny little hooks and tiny little loops.

Host: How amazing is God. The most minute detail helped create something useful for all the people who had trouble tying their shoes, including toddlers.

Tony: It's not just toddlers. Right up to my age.

Host: What a breakthrough. Hey, how did you know that, John?

Tony: I think we lost him.

Host: We lost Terry. He must have gotten tired of us talking about it.

Tony: If you can call back in, we'll try to get you back on the phone. You may have had a question for us. Sorry about that. I don't know what happened. Of course, it might have been Terry's fault. Sometimes technology just doesn't work the way we want it to.

Host: It looks like we're going to Massachusetts, and John is on the line. John, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Caller: Hello. Can you hear me?

Host: Yes, we can.

Caller: The lady must have misheard me. I'm from Maryland, but right now we're driving across Colorado. I wanted to answer the Colorado buffalo question, but that's already been answered.

Host: Do you want to take a shot at something else?

Caller: I want to do the Beach Boys. I'm interested in this one.

Host: It's 50-50, so if you've got a coin out, get that ready and you can flip it to answer the question. Only one of the Beach Boys, Dennis Wilson, actually knew how to surf. Think about all that "Surfin' USA" and "Surfs Up," and all those songs tied up with surfing. But only one, Dennis Wilson, actually knew how to surf. Is that true or false, John?

Caller: I have no idea, but I wanted you to repeat that.

Host: Repeat that for us again, brother. We didn't hear you.

Caller: I'm guessing true.

Host: It is 100 percent true. That's a fun little irony, I guess you would call it irony.

Tony: I feel a little deceived. They're all just singing about the beach, and only one of them is going out in the water surfing.

Host: That ain't right.

Tony: They probably didn't even have girlfriends.

Host: So, Tony, do you listen to the Beach Boys? Have you ever heard of them?

Tony: I grew up with the music. They also made a few guest appearances on a show called Full House, which I used to watch, with John Stamos.

Host: Other bands fell into that same category. The tightrope walkers, only one person actually walked a tightrope. The rock climbers, only one person ever did any rock climbing. You hit the nail on the head.

Tony: It's not just church folks.

Host: No, it hurts everywhere. Hey, John, what's your question for us?

Caller: I know this isn't a real trivia question, but since this is a humorous show, I'm going to ask it anyway.

Host: You went under that Colorado tunnel again?

Caller: This isn't a real question, but since this is a humorous show, I'm going to ask it anyway. What has President Trump proposed as the new name for the Canada geese?

Host: American geese.

Tony: American geese.

Host: I'm just thinking Gulf of America. I would think American geese.

Tony: It depends on how soon they become our 51st state.

Host: American geese. Is that your final answer?

Caller: Yes, sir. Our final guess.

Host: Donald Duck.

Caller: Oh, that's right.

Host: That's right. He ducks.

Tony: I thought that was a funny thing that he said.

Host: Donald Duck. Did he really say that?

Tony: He did.

Host: I remember now that John gave us the idea. You just never know, when he opens his mouth, what's going to come out.

Host: John, wherever you are in Colorado, be careful and enjoy yourself. It's a beautiful state. Thank you for listening. We appreciate it.

Host: I guess we're going to go back to Alabama, because that's where David is calling from. David, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Caller: Good to be here. Can you hear me?

Host: Yes, we can. You said, "Good to be here." Do you mean good to be in Alabama, good to be on the show, or both?

Caller: Whatever you would ever be alive for would be fine.

Host: Where do you live in Alabama?

Caller: Well, actually, I live in Fayetteville. I was born in Huntsville, which is just south of Fayetteville. I lived in Huntsville for probably 50-plus years.

Host: What part of NASA did you work in? Which one of those guys were you?

Caller: I'm a veterinarian.

Host: That's close enough. I mean, it's not rocket science, David, but it's still important.

Caller: That was a joke.

Host: Thanks for the written shot.

Tony: My sister-in-law worked for NASA and worked with a lot of the projects and things like that.

Host: That's impressive. See, that's why I took a chance, because I know a lot of people there are connected to NASA. Hey, David, do you want to ask, answer, or do both?

Caller: Well, I've got a question to ask. I'm a child of the '60s, born in the 1950s. There's a TV comedy series from the late '50s or early '60s. There was a character who was kind of silly. He didn't stay in acting, but he joined the police force. While handling a case, he received a gunshot wound and survived. I was wondering if anyone knows who that character was.

Host: He started off in acting, you said, and then went into police work?

Caller: He was a supporting actor in a comedy during that time.

Host: Somebody who went into police work was Wally on Leave It to Beaver. Who was the guy who was kind of a slick character?

Tony: Eddie Haskell went into police work.

Host: I think he went into police work in Los Angeles after that show. I don't know if that's who David is looking for.

Caller: That's who it is.

Host: Yes, there it is. He was wounded on the job.

Caller: That was him. What was the actor's name?

Host: Do you remember, David?

Caller: Oh, my gosh. Eddie Haskell. I'm almost 70.

Host: That's all right, David. Our family was talking about this lately. Somebody gets typecast, or you are really convinced of their character to this day. What is it?

Tony: Ken Osmond.

Host: Ken Osmond, yes. They had a great band too. They're great singers with Donny.

Tony: The Osmond Brothers.

Host: I'm just kidding.

Tony: Me too.

Host: When you talk about somebody and say, "He's a little too much of an Eddie Haskell," you don't even have to explain that he's like the bad version of a used-car salesman. They're buttering you up, and you know they have an ulterior motive.

Tony: Sorry to all you bad used-car salesmen, but we love our good used-car salesmen. We love the good ones.

Caller: It was fun growing up during that time and knowing about a lot of the things that were going on. The Beatles were a big, famous band, and there was a young lady at the clinic where I worked who made the comment that she took a class on the Beatles. I think it was a college class.

Host: They were incredibly important in the creation of rock and roll and music in the '60s and '70s and onward.

Host: David, have a great weekend. Thanks for listening to AFR.

Caller: Thank you.

Host: That was a great question. I did not know that about him. Ken Osmond left acting and went into police work. They offered him a couple of things for reverse mortgages, but he said, "No, that's more of a Tom Selleck thing."

Tony: He went for being a trustworthy salesman anyway, so I don't think you want that actor selling you anything.

Host: "Let me tell you about reverse mortgages." Just like he was called Mr. Cleaver.

Tony: "You look lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver. Can I sell you a car?"

Host: He went to the police academy and apparently had a really good career, as an officer and maybe a detective.

Tony: I didn't remember him being shot.

Host: We love our first responders.

Tony: Amen.

Host: Amen. All right, we're going to Georgia, and Sarah is on the line. Sarah, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Caller: Hello. How are you all doing?

Host: Doing well. How are you? Where do you live in Georgia?

Caller: Rocky Face, which is near Dalton.

Host: Sarah, thank you for listening and for calling in. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?

Caller: Do both. This is my first time calling, but I am a longtime listener.

Host: Which one do you want to try to answer?

Caller: What about the longest-living president?

Host: That has not been answered. Who was the longest-living U.S. president?

Caller: President Jimmy Carter.

Host: That is correct. President Jimmy Carter lived 100 years. The next in line was George H.W. Bush, who died at 94; Gerald Ford, who lived 93 years and 165 days; and Ronald Reagan, who lived 93 years and 120 days. Jimmy Carter lived 100 years, by a pretty fair margin.

Host: Sarah, did you know that, or did you have to look it up?

Caller: I had to look it up.

Host: That's right.

Caller: I should have known, because I think he passed away last year.

Host: It was very recent, and he was a Sunday school teacher up until his last days there in Georgia. They said you could go to that church and sit in a Sunday school class.

Host: Sarah, well done. As a first-time caller and longtime listener, first time out of the gate, you nailed it. What's your question for us?

Caller: Who was a professional baseball player and became an evangelist?

Host: Billy Sunday?

Caller: Billy Sunday.

Host: Yes. Excellent question. That was in the first half of the last century. I'm not really up on how good a ballplayer he was before he left baseball and became an evangelist. Was he an All-Star?

Caller: No, I just watched a YouTube video on him. I know he was born in 1862, a hundred years before I was born, and he died in 1903.

Host: Did you hear good things about him?

Caller: Yes, very good things.

Host: Sarah, thank you for calling in.

Caller: I love Friday Trivia. Y'all are so fun. I listen every day to various things, but I love Friday Trivia.

Host: We do have some fun, don't we? After a long week, you need that.

Host: Since it's the end of the show and you've been so kind with your words, how would you like a Trivia Friday T-shirt?

Caller: Thank you.

Host: That was Tony's idea. He was pointing to the T-shirt, and we want to send that to you. Stay on the line and let them get your address and shirt size. You sound like a wonderful lady. God bless you. Thank you again for your kind words and for listening to AFR. Have yourself a wonderful weekend.

Host: Sarah is on hold while we're getting her information. All right, let's go back to Louisiana. Louisiana has had several people tune in, call in, and get through today. Deborah is on the line. Deborah, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Caller: Hello.

Host: Where do you live in Louisiana?

Caller: I live in Louisiana, right around the middle part of the state. I live out in the boondocks, out in the sticks.

Host: But you've got a Dollar General nearby.

Caller: That's right.

Host: We're about out of time. Do you want to ask, answer, or do both?

Caller: I just want to try to answer the question. I had some others, but they've all been answered. I want to answer the one about the pigeons and the monkeys.

Host: The pigeons. Let me repeat the question, Deborah. Pigeons can do math at the same level as monkeys. Is that true or false?

Caller: I'm going to say that's true.

Host: It is 100 percent true. Good job.

Host: It sounds loony, I know. I did a little background research, and according to a 2011 study published in Science magazine, pigeons were able to rank images according to the number of images present. I always thought monkeys were pretty smart. I had no idea pigeons seemed like some of the dumbest creatures on the block, but they're at least as smart as monkeys.

Tony: Was that a double-blind test, or did they just put out some candy corn? A whole lot of candy corn?

Host: I know there was a group of them outside the building waiting to answer the Pythagorean theorem question. They were dropping at the fifth.

Tony: That's right, and then answering it.

Host: Deborah, how fun. What's your question for us?

Caller: I don't have a question. This was the first time I could get on, so I thought I'd try it.

Host: You made our day. Eat some gumbo this weekend for us, and some boudin, some muffuletta, and some crawfish. Have yourself a great Louisiana weekend.

Host: All right, thank you, Deborah. We have to answer our questions before we run out of time. Who was the first U.S. president to appear on television?

Tony: Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Host: All right. My last question: What famous American landmark was originally intended to serve as a lighthouse?

Tony: I have no idea.

Host: The Statue of Liberty.

Tony: Oh.

Host: Dorset, Uriel, and Jacob are types of what?

Tony: I have no idea.

Host: Sheep.

Tony: Sheep, okay.

Host: Hall of Fame NBA player Larry Bird also won NBA Coach of the Year while coaching which team?

Tony: The Indiana Pacers.

Host: Indiana Pacers. Nice.

Host: All right, that's it, folks. We're out of questions, we're out of answers, and we're out of time. There is more great programming directly ahead on American Family Radio, and you don't want to miss it. Lord willing, we'll see you again on Monday.
