:34 - There's a gentleman in the audience who is finally ready to take off his Yankees cap. So, how did he manage to produce a Mets fan? Then let's hear Axel Knutson's favorite pick-up line -- you have to do the accent, too. How about a little help with the history homework? We'll just start it in the back and pass it forward. Write in pencil, please.

:43 - Four Disclaimers and the Whad'Ya Know? Quiz Play along with John the euphonium player from the Bethany Lutheran (College) Concert Band and Mark, a pastor from Rochester, who knows about the ratio of naked sleeping men to naked sleeping women, and how happy people are today versus 25 years ago.

Then, why does the moon rise in a different place every night? Then Michael meets Chuck, who is a traffic pilot when everything goes well. Hopefully the Continental Airlines training will break him of the desire to circle over freeways. It's, the Wisconsin/Minnesota border hostility over "duck, duck, goose" or "duck, duck, grey duck." Listen in for ducks or geese in a row.

:28 - Whad'Ya Know? Quiz The charismatic phone systems guy, Dave from Irvine, takes on the challenge of wit with Anne in Fairbanks who is saving wildlife. If you know what Monica Lewinsky and the entire US Army have in common, what Al Gore would wrap Christo-style , and what percent of adults with incomes over $100,000 consider themselves rich, you'll be a winner!
