>> CATHY: WE'VE NEARLY REACHED THE END OF OUR HOUR, BUT WE DO HAVE TIME THIS WEEK FOR THE HISTORY SECTION OF THE SHOW.

LET'S REFRESH OUR MEMORIES ABOUT THE MOST RECENT QUESTION.

TWO WEEKS IN A ROW WE ASKED YOU ABOUT A NOTEWORTHY EVENT FROM EARLY MARCH IN 1991.

WE TOLD YOU A RESIDENT OF GOLDEN VALLEY -- ABSOLUTELY NOT SEEN HERE -- SET A WORLD RECORD BY DOING SOMETHING NEARLY 7,000 TIMES.

WE THEN TOLD YOU THIS PERSON SMASHED THE OLD WORLD RECORD BY MORE THAN 800.

ARMED WITH THESE NUMBERS, WE WANTED YOU TO TELL US WHAT THE RECORD WAS.

WHAT WORLD RECORD WAS SET BY A GOLDEN VALLEY RESIDENT IN MARCH OF 1991?

WE THEN ADDED HINTS TO SUGGEST THAT THE RIGHT ANSWER HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ARMS AND HANDS.

THAT HINT BY THE WAY WAS ON TARGET, BUT THESE CALLERS STILL MISSED THE MARK.

>> CATHY: WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, AND WRONG.

THOUGH, STEVE, YOU WERE AT LEAST CORRECT ABOUT THE ACTIVITY INVOLVED.

FOR THE FULL DETAILS, WE TURN TO TONY.

TAKE IT AWAY.

>> CATHY: YES, TONY, YOU ARE CORRECT!

WHICH MEANS WE DON'T HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION FOR A THIRD WEEK.

THE PRODUCERS THANK YOU FOR THAT.

THE GUINNESS RECORD WE SOUGHT WAS FOR THE NUMBER OF ONE-ARMED PUSHUPS.

HERE'S A NICE WRITE-UP FROM THE "STAR TRIBUNE" THAT DETAILS THE EFFORT.

THE RECORD NEEDED TO BE SET IN A TOTAL OF 5 HOURS AND 25 MINUTES, WITH 25 MINUTES BEING AS MANY BREAKS AS MIHAS WANTED TO TAKE AS LONG AS IT ONLY TOTALLED 25 MINUTES.

AND HE DIDN'T HAVE TO USE THE SAME ARM WHEN RETURNING FROM THE BREAK.

HE DID BEAT THE PREVIOUS RECORD BY 868 ONE-ARM PUSHUPS.

OUCH.

THAT WOULD BE A LOT OF PUSHUPS WITH BOTH ARMS INVOLVED.

JUST ENOUGH TIME LEFT TONIGHT FOR SOME SHOW-CLOSING MUSIC.

IT WAS THIS WEEK BACK IN 2000 THAT GRAMMY AWARD-WINNER KATHY MATTEA PERFORMED HERE IN STUDIO "B."

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

I'M A BIG FAN, AND IT WAS GREAT TO MEET HER IN PERSON THAT EVENING.

SHE AND HER BAND EVEN JOINED US AFTER THE SHOW FOR A LITTLE OUTDOOR BARBECUE FUN.

HERE SHE IS SINGING "THE INNOCENT YEARS."

TAKE A LISTEN, AND WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
