Hello and welcome to Card Talk on National Public Radio with us, Clicking Clack the Tablet Brothers,

and we're broadcasting sadly this week from the Duke Brothers Securities firm here at Card Talk

Plaza. Yes, it is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of the inventor of the telephone Alexander Graham Bell,

also known as my pal Don Amici and Mortimer Duke. Was it Mortimer? I don't know. He was one of the Duke Brothers.

I mean, one of the greatest movies that reflected at least in my opinion, man's real deepest feelings toward his brother.

Yes, and Don Amici said it all. He was pretty good though. He was a great guy. He was. He was. He wasn't all that old, just in the mere 80s.

Yeah, I think about 80. 82, 83, 84. What about your age, right? What about my age? What a great man though. A great man.

It is said that he is gone, but some of us go and some of us stay. And isn't it strange which ones are elected to stay?

It's hard to know whether staying is better than going. We don't know that. We don't know that. We know that staying is good.

I see a pile of letters before you. Well, I do have a pile of letters, most of which have to do with the raging controversy regarding the puzzler.

Is it fair game to discuss the puzzler? It's early in the show. Why not? Yeah, this is the puzzler, which was the most populous city or town name in the United States.

The town which occurs most frequently in these here United States. And of course we gave the answer, which is always wrong.

No, I mean, it's not clear that it's wrong, but I have got here a letter. We researched the Dickens out of this.

We did. We did research the Dickens out of it and it is always an expert. I mean, there is a letter here from someone who certainly sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

But more than we do. People that listen to our show know that you can't be fooled by that. Well, wait a minute. Now this guy is from the Department of Geography at Virginia Tech, Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University.

Professor, head doctor professor, Lawrence Kirstensen. Get this. This week's puzzle, by the way, he wrote this before evidently before he heard us give our answer.

So he's just answering the puzzle. He doesn't know that he's telling us that we're jerks. No, that'll be next week's next week's.

This week's puzzle was especially interesting to me because as a professional geographer, professional geographer and professor of geographic information systems.

I heard. I'm going to stick to my area. I had a tool to use to do the timely research you needed concerning this important topic.

Talks like a professor doesn't he does. I haven't closed my results to show that the winner with 190 occurrences within all 50 states. Yes, it's midway.

Oh my god. Really? I thought you'd also be interested in knowing that Springfield had 48 occurrences. These data came from the US Board of Geographic names, the United States Board of Geographic names.

And the US Geological Survey's geographic names information system, GNIS, they love those acronyms. A file commonly used in building digital geographic database.
