We're gonna go see the movie. We were on Frederick street, the Only theater in town. And it was a block long the line. And, everybody was already telling us how terrifying it was. We got up to where there about three people before we got our ticket. And she said, I just can't do it. I'm just scared. I just can't do it. I said, you gotta be kidding me.

>> Bert Harper: We stood.

>> Ed Battagliano: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. So we left. So everybody kept saying, best movie I've ever seen in my life. This is amazing. You know, just, sitting on the edge of my seat, she said, I'm just so sorry. Give me another chance. We go back Friday night, Saturday night, stand in a long, long, long line. We get up to the ticket counter. We're right there at the thing in the little glass booth, about to get her ticket. She said, I can't do it.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Are you serious?

>> Ed Battagliano: No. And then it happens one more time. I mean, I'm like Linus. I mean, I'm like Charlie Brown holding that football. Three different times. We get right there and she just says, I can't do it. I'm just so scared. I'm afraid I'll have nightmares. Blah, blah, blah. So everybody then at school, everybody told me every single thing about every single scene. So, no, I meant to go see it, and I never have. And I've been at hotel rooms and I've seen a fourth of it a couple of times, but I need to go see it because, there I missed up. Missed my chance.

>> Ed Vitagliano: And you never. And you never marry that girl. What a surprise.

>> Ed Battagliano: Hey, Barbara Brown. No, she dumped me. If you're out there. I did okay, And I'm happy married.

What is a Hemi demi semi quaver? We're stumped

What's your question for us? so my question for you is, what is a Hemi demi semi quaver? I had one one time in a Mopar, you get a Dodge, and you get a Hemi semi quaver crowfire, and you can lay rubber for a country mile. I mean, it don't matter if you got a cam in it or not, or if it's a straight shift or what kind of rear ends under that thing. You got that much horsepower, and everybody, all your neighbors are going to hear you when you take off.

>> Bert Harper: Yeah.

>> Ed Battagliano: And that Hemi engine, that's it.

>> Bert Harper: I have no idea.

>> Ed Battagliano: We're stumped, buddy. What's the answer? Okay, so a Hemi demi semiquaver in music is a 64th note. Oh.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I'll do both, please.

>> Ed Battagliano: Which one you want to answer? I'll answer the one about the names of the pillars in King Solomon.

>> Ed Vitagliano: All right, well, great. When Solomon. Listen, I'm just, Yeah, I'm psyched here. When Solomon built the temple, there were two tall pillars set up. What were their names? Jacob and Boaz. That is correct. That was a question from Cindy Roberts a couple of weeks ago.

>> Ed Battagliano: So we were. My wife and I, we had twins on the way and everybody on Facebook. Well, what. What are you naming them? And I learned from, you know, having five daughters. And everybody you tell, even a friend or a cousin or a neighbor, you tell them your baby name a little too soon. They have their baby a couple of months before you, they'll steal the name. So I said, well, I can't do this on national radio or on social media. So I said, yeah, we've already got names picked out. You know, when people are asking. I said, we're gonna. Since they're twins, we're gonna name them Copy and Paste. Well, some people were gullible. The others, they saw, that, you know, that's. You know, you just expect crazy. That's right. I said, yeah. And we're naming our twins Copy and Paste. One of the sweet nurses, AFR listener, got us little onesies with Copy. Yes, Copy and Paste. And we put those. We put our twins in Those little. When they were in the. In the crib, you know, the little newborn or the little preemie onesie, things. But it had copy and paste on that that our listeners are the best.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Oh, yeah.

>> Bert Harper: Hey, that is true.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Hey, Tom, did you have to look that up, or did you know that I actually read it yesterday in First Kings?

>> Ed Battagliano: Wow. And who knew you're reading that yesterday? You had no idea you got, Bible readers. That's right.

>> Ed Vitagliano: I tell you what, I'm just so impressed that you not only read that and remembered it. We're sending you a ball cap.

>> Ed Battagliano: Yes. Hey, and look, Tom, I don't want to try to be super spiritual here, but God's timing, I mean, in big ways and little ways. Because here you're reading that, you say, well, I'm not going to get anything out of that. That's just something I'm kind of read on through that. And then here you are, national radio, and just like, I just read that, you know, I think when those little things happen, I don't think they're a coincidence.

>> Bert Harper: I think God, he wanted him to have this ball.

>> Ed Battagliano: Yeah, like, I like that.

>> Bert Harper: Stay, sir.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Let's go with that.

>> Ed Battagliano: Why are you saying it's the loneliest road?

>> Bert Harper: If you traveled it, you'd know it. Have you ever watched Wagon Train, the show? You know when they're going through and there's no water?

>> Ed Battagliano: Right.

>> Bert Harper: That's, that's what they did back and it was tough. Go, Tom, what's the answer?

>> Ed Battagliano: Okay, it's Highway 20.

>> Ed Vitagliano: It starts in Boston, Massachusetts, and it ends in Newport, Oregon.
