Jill’s Trivia Quiz

Jill shared trivia questions about the TV show Sanford and Son, including details about characters, actors, and specific episodes. They worked through various questions about the show’s timeline, characters like Fred Sanford, Lamont, and Aunt Esther, and specific plot details such as the neighbor’s unusual pet goat and Fred’s hospital scene. The participants took turns answering questions and sharing their memories of the show, with some questions requiring guesses due to the obscure nature of the information being sought.

Terry’s Top 10 List

Terry presented a humorous top 10 list about leprechauns, covering topics like their struggles with online shopping, lactose intolerance, and rainbow timing.

Anchor Topic

This is the feature we talk about blindness related issues. Keith begins by saying that a new tactile $10 bill will be released later in the year. The group discussed the process of creating copper plate rubbings, where a wooden dowel is used to transfer the texture of an object onto a thin copper sheet. Keith explained how the process involves starting with a large dowel and gradually working down to a pencil tip size for detailed impressions. The discussion included details about mounting the finished copper plate on wood and applying an antiquing finish, as well as considerations about the durability of the copper rubbing when traveling.

Email and Final Thoughts

Keith reviewed an email from a priest who shared a story about a drunk person asking about arthritis. He also shared another about farmers trying to mate pigs. Keith also played voicemails containing funny family anecdotes, including a story from a Sunday school teacher about getting into heaven and another about a child using a “sick box” at church. The segment concluded with information about how listeners can submit their own funny family stories to the show.
