Host: Welcome back to Trivia Friday. Jonathan Coker is sitting in for Tim Wildmon today, and JJ Jasper is here for himself.

Host: You were talking about the Ole Miss game against LSU. Everybody around the building who is an Ole Miss fan has their shirts everywhere. This is a big deal for Ole Miss fans.

Host: I'm not an Ole Miss fan, and I'm not the football fan that you and Tim are, but SEC football is a pretty big deal. We've got a lot of stations in the South. Number seven LSU played number eight Ole Miss. Lane Kiffin was the coach and had taken the team so far, and then right in front of the championship, he got an offer from LSU and left. He took some staff and some key players, so there are a lot of hard feelings now.

Host: This is his first time coming back to the campus where some would say he unceremoniously left. The rivalry and the tension are going to make this an explosive game.

Host: My youngest son is a student at Ole Miss, so he's going to be at the game in the student section. I told him he better be safe because it's going to be crazy. It's going to be wild.

Host: I've learned something as a Yankee who came down, married a girl from Mississippi, and has lived here since 1985: Southerners are very polite and diplomatic until you absolutely cross them. Then they'll bury you out on the field somewhere or feed you to the hogs.

Host: You're going to say they're very polite until it comes to college football.

Host: Well, that's also true. College football, a very tense rivalry, and alcohol mixed in. What could possibly go wrong?

Host: A lot of people are putting bets on this team or that team. I have opened up a temporary bail bondsman site, and I'm going to be there because that's where the money is going to be. I'm going to be offering bail for those getting arrested when all the mayhem kicks in.

Host: You are right. You could make a fortune. I've got a family member who's a fireman who is going to be there and a family member who is a police officer, and they say they're getting backup for everything because of how tense things could be.

Host: It should be an exciting game with a lot of tension. Those kinds of rivalries exist all over the country and in states all over. Jonathan, we're going to go back to the phones.

Host: We're going to Mississippi, where Paul is calling. Paul, welcome to Trivia Friday. Are you watching the game we just talked about?

Paul: I'm going to try to.

Host: All right, good deal. Have you got a bear breathing down your neck or something? What's that sound? We can hear something in the background.

Paul: It might be this radio. Let me get away from it.

Host: Where do you live in Mississippi, Paul? We've had several calls from our home state today.

Paul: I'm right here in Hattiesburg.

Host: Great area. Southern Miss. Do you want to ask a question, answer a question, or do both?

Paul: I'd like to try both. The one about the Roman who said, "This must be the one."

Host: Let's repeat the question. In the 1965 film The Greatest Story Ever Told, what actor played the Roman soldier who said, "Truly, this man was the Son of God"? What's your answer?

Paul: I think it's Ernest Borgnine.

Host: I'm sorry, that is not correct. Good guess.

Host: Ernest Borgnine played some great roles. He played a Viking chieftain in The Vikings, and he was a great actor. Wasn't he on McHale's Navy?

Host: I think PT-109 was JFK's boat. I think that was the boat number or something that they were on.

Host: What's your question for us, Paul?

Paul: You guys were talking about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego earlier. A lot of people know those names, but do you know the real names that King Nebuchadnezzar gave them?

Host: I just read that, but I can't remember those names. I know Daniel was Belteshazzar or something like that. I don't remember the other guys.

Host: I think Belteshazzar is maybe one of them, but I can't remember. I'll just embarrass myself. We were going to name one of our girls Belteshazzar, but when little kids are out there on the playground, they can be cruel. They have some ugly things they can rhyme with that.

Host: I'd be interested to know what rhymes with Belteshazzar as well. Give us the answer, Paul.

Paul: The first one is Hananiah, the second one is Mishael, and the third one is Azariah.

Host: Azariah. And what about Daniel? How close were we?

Paul: That was his name. You got his name right, but later on they just called Daniel by Daniel because of what he did.

Host: I'm just going to be honest. For most of my life, after I became a Christian and was in the ministry, I could remember those names right off the top of my head. It wouldn't take me a second to recall them. Now it's a struggle to remember my wife's name. Well, not technically, but it just gets harder and harder to pull those things out of the depths. It's like fishing in murky water all the time.

Host: But enough about going into the kitchen each evening and saying, "What did I come in here for?"

Host: Paul, thank you for the Bible question. I always love it when people bring up Bible questions. Bible knowledge is the most important knowledge for a person's soul and life. Thank you, Paul. We appreciate your listening and calling in. The Bible means basic instructions before leaving Earth.

Host: Where are we going next? We're going to Pat, who is calling from Maryland. Pat, thanks for calling Trivia Friday.

Pat: Good afternoon. How are you?

Host: We're doing great. It's Friday, and we're on trivia. Everything's good. We're having fun, and we're not discussing the sorrows of the world.

Pat: I'm a first-time caller from the state of Maryland. I don't think you've ever picked up anybody from Maryland before, but I live in Frostburg, which is about 15 miles outside of Cumberland.

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

Pat: I'm going to do both.

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

Pat: What are the points on a fork called?

Host: The prongs on a fork are called tines.

Pat: Tines. That's correct.

Host: Nice. How did you know that?

Pat: I have a biblical question for you. Who was the name of Abraham's second wife after Sarah passed away?

Host: That's a good question. I'm like you. I used to know this. When you say it, I'm going to remember it. I'm going to say it was something like Belteshazzar.

Host: No, that was a bad joke. It's got a Z in it, it seems like. I don't know. I can't remember. What's the answer?

Pat: Keturah.

Host: Keturah. Close. That's why you can be fast, but not accurate.

Host: I drove a Keturah once. That was my first car.

Host: Did that have good gas mileage?

Host: No, it was more of a hoopty. It was real long and rode low to the ground. Thankfully, there was an ashtray in every door, even in the back seat. That was important. I forgot about that. I can remember that there were ashtrays everywhere.

Host: In fact, it wasn't just cars. Every house you went to had ashtrays.

Host: We could get everybody in there, but it only got about eight miles to the gallon. I'm glad I got rid of that Keturah.

Host: Thank you, Pat. God bless you, and thank you for listening and calling in.

Host: Let's continue. Next, we're going to Virginia, where Gavin is calling. Gavin, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Gavin: Hey, how are you doing?

Host: We're doing good. How are you doing?

Gavin: Doing well.

Host: Good. Did you want to ask a question, answer a question, or do both?

Gavin: I'd like to do both.

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

Gavin: Did anybody answer the question about Montpelier, Vermont yet?

Host: No, that's the last question. Here's the question: True or false? Montpelier, Vermont, is the only U.S. capital city that does not have a McDonald's.

Host: Is that true or false, Gavin?

Gavin: It's true.

Host: It is 100 percent true. There is no McDonald's in Montpelier, Vermont. That's the capital city, and all 49 other capital cities have McDonald's. They do not have a McDonald's.

Host: It's because Vermont is run by hippies. That comes from someone who lived right next door in New Hampshire.

Host: Is there really a legitimate reason that you know of?

Host: They try to shop local and put the emphasis on that.

Host: I like your hippie answer. It's more about having beads in the doorway, macramé, tofu, and everything else.

Gavin: How did you know that?

Host: I didn't know at first, but I had a feeling that it was probably true. My brother lives in Northfield, Vermont, which is just outside of Montpelier. I've been there twice and didn't recall seeing a McDonald's, so I texted him, and he said that it is true.

Host: Vermont is a beautiful state. When I was growing up, my dad had an uncle who had a farm in Vermont, and we would go there periodically for fresh cheese and milk. It's a beautiful state, but it's pretty far left. In the fall, the leaf peepers go there.

Host: Jonathan's family made that trip. Our family went from Mississippi to Maine and went through all those states a couple of years back. We were so surprised. We said Vermont was one of the prettiest states we drove through. Then Maine was another place we said we would go back to. New England is gorgeous.

Host: We saw the lighthouse for the first time and got lobster. I think it was two dollars, all you could eat. It was fresh, right there. We did the whole thing. It was beautiful. New England is a blast.

Host: Gavin, what's your question for us?

Gavin: Is the same question true about Montpelier when it comes to Starbucks, true or false?

Host: We're going to talk amongst ourselves here. I'm guessing there's probably a bunch of them. I'm going to say Starbucks because they might be old hippies, but they're going to be woke, so Starbucks would be right in that wheelhouse. It originated on the other side of the country in Seattle, but I think they probably have a bunch. I'm going to say yes.

Host: All right, Gavin, how did we do?

Gavin: According to my brother, it is true that there is no Starbucks.

Host: Really? No Starbucks?

Gavin: According to him, it's also the only capital city that does not have one. However, I did my own research on Google, and it says that's not true. There are other capital cities that do not have a Starbucks.

Host: I think I was confused. I think I meant my answer to be false, that there were Starbucks there.

Host: I was saying there are Starbucks. Are you saying there are or are not?

Gavin: There is no Starbucks in Montpelier within the city limits.

Host: Okay. You can get one in a little town called Berlin. However, within the city limits, there is no Starbucks.

Host: I think that leads to the same kind of feeling you mentioned with McDonald's. Those people like to buy local and support local, and there's just not a lot of change in general in that state.

Host: I have no problem with that. I actually agree with that a lot. Shop local. Local businesses, family businesses, little small coffee shops, or anything like that. You'd rather buy from somebody who's making things instead of a big-box store when you're trying to keep a small community thriving.

Host: So here's the big question, Gavin. You may not know the answer to this. How about Dollar General? Are there any Dollar Generals up there?

Gavin: It sounds like they would not have Dollar Generals in Vermont.

Host: There was probably a Dollar General in Montpelier before there was a courthouse.

Gavin: I'm going to say you're right.

Host: They didn't parachute them in back then. They brought them on a horse-drawn wagon, brought mules, and dragged it into town. They put it right there.

Host: Thank you, Gavin. That was good information. His brother lives in a beautiful part of the country, for sure.

Host: Where do we go next? We're going to Texas, where Robert is calling. Robert, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Robert: Thank you, guys. How are you all doing?

Host: I'm speaking for myself, but I'm doing great. I like Jonathan's explanation. It's Friday, and we're on trivia, so it doesn't get much better than that. Thank you for asking. How are you doing?

Host: Robert, are you there? Can you hear us?

Robert: Yeah, I'm doing so far, so good, and I'm happy to be on the show and chat with you guys.

Host: What part of Texas?

Robert: Crosby, Texas, which is northeast of Houston.

Host: Do you want to ask a question, answer a question, or do both?

Robert: I'm going to give both a whirl.

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

Robert: I want to try the one about the racing dogs.

Host: In dog racing, what is the most popular breed of dog on the track?

Robert: I'm going to have to go with greyhounds.

Host: Greyhounds. Yes. It's going to blow your mind. Imagine you're out riding on a bicycle and you have some barking dogs coming up to nip at your heels. You might say, "I can just ride fast and get away from them." You can ride up to 45 miles an hour.

Host: How long can they maintain that?

Host: I don't know, but long enough to go around and win a blue ribbon or win people some money if they bet win, show, or whatever. Almost all the dogs are greyhounds. They do have a few whippets and something called a saluki, but the bulk of them are greyhounds.

Host: Baby boomers might remember the buses. They had a picture of that sleek greyhound dog on the side of the bus.

Host: Robert, I don't know why everything has to do with race, though. Why does everything have to be about race? It's always about race.

Host: I guess our listeners want to know how much money you've won at the track over the years.

Robert: I've never done very well. I've only been a couple of times, and I think maybe $35 or $50 at best.

Host: I was just messing with you. Typically, how well do you do with poker?

Host: That backfired. Let's listen to blackjack.

Host: You've actually been to a dog race, so do you remember seeing a lot of greyhounds out there?

Robert: Oh, yeah. It's all greyhounds. We've got a greyhound racing track close to Galveston, off of I-45 South, but I can't remember the exact city.

Host: I've looked over while traveling and seen those. I think I've seen them in movies, and it seemed like they had a little rabbit or something, like a pace car.

Host: They have a little mechanical rabbit out there taking them around. A long arm goes all the way around the track, and the dogs chase after it like crazy.

Host: They would do that if they were racing people in Montpelier and had a Big Mac on an arm going around. All those citizens of Montpelier would be running to get that Big Mac or Quarter Pounder, the first McDonald's in the state.

Host: What's your question for us, Robert?

Host: We're having a little glitch, Robert, if you're listening. What's your question for us?

Robert: This actress was known for having a fantastic singing voice, and she also played Catwoman. Who am I referencing?

Host: Which Catwoman? She played in the late 1960s or early 1970s Batman show.

Host: I know that Julie Newmar might have been the first. There was also Eartha Kitt, who played one of the Catwomen.

Host: Let's cover our bases like Robert does when he goes to the track. I'm going to go with that first lady you mentioned.

Host: Eartha Kitt was also an excellent singer, and there was one more whose name I can't remember. I can see her face, but I can't remember her name. I'm going to go with Eartha Kitt.

Host: Jonathan, I'm going to go with that third one.

Host: That's your favorite.

Host: I can see her face, but I can't remember her name. What's the answer, Robert?

Robert: Eartha Kitt.

Host: Eartha Kitt. You got it.

Host: Robert, have a great weekend.

Host: Let's try to fit Eddie from Alabama in. Eddie, can you hear us?

Host: We have to go fast because we have about 60 seconds. Do you want to ask a question, answer a question, or do both?

Eddie: I want to answer the question about the ballpark.

Host: What is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium in America?

Eddie: The oldest surviving ballpark is Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama.

Host: We're talking about Major League Baseball.

Eddie: Is that Fenway Park?

Host: I'll say Rickwood Field.

Host: No, I'm sorry. Fenway Park.

Host: I'll be there Wednesday night, Lord willing.

Host: Eddie, what is your question for us? It's got to be quick.

Eddie: Next Friday starts the New York City Blitz. It goes to the four boroughs, excluding Staten Island. What is the New York City Blitz?

Host: We don't know the answer. I'm sorry, Eddie. What's the answer?

Eddie: It's a Gideons event giving out Bibles for a week in New York City.

Host: Wonderful. Thank you for being a Gideon and giving out Bibles.

Host: We may give our answers. The shortest war in history lasted 38 minutes. Is that true or false?

Host: That is true. The Anglo-Zanzibar War in 1896 lasted 38 minutes. I wish they all lasted that long.

Host: Wilt Chamberlain's record for most points in an NBA game was 100 points.

Host: In The Greatest Story Ever Told, was the actor who played the Roman soldier John Wayne?

Host: John Wayne. You always get the one.

Host: I got one last famous Old West lawman.

Host: Fast is fine, but accuracy is final.

Host: I won't be here next Friday, but I would appreciate prayers. I'll be in Mobile, Alabama, at the Fairgrounds Center next Thursday for a dinner for Mission of Hope Ministries.

Host: Folks, that's all the time we have. Great programming is directly ahead on American Family Radio. Thank you for listening to Trivia Friday. Lord willing, we will see you right back here on Monday.
