041 Shelter-In-Place Trivia

Bob Smith 0:00
during World War Two, what did the United States Government remove from luxury department stores and place in defense plants?

Marcia Smith 0:09
More interesting yet? How many pickles does the average American consume every year?

Bob Smith 0:15
answers to those and other interesting questions but want to know, coming up today on the off ramp with Bob and Marsha

Marcia Smith 0:22
Smith?

Bob Smith 0:40
Welcome to the off ramp. Chance to slow down steer clear of crazy and take a side road to Saturday. We are doing Shelter in Place Trivia This is the end of the fifth week of sheltering in place. We’ve gathered a lot of fun stuff to talk about. I got some more famous last words. I know you have some other fun stuff, too. But let’s start with those first two questions. We did yours first. No pickles. Okay.

Marcia Smith 1:05
I mean, people were getting I bet we went up to two three listeners with that.

Bob Smith 1:09
Okay, tell me tell me the pickle. Okay.

Marcia Smith 1:12
According to the Department of Agriculture, how much in pickles does the average American consume annually?

Bob Smith 1:19
Now? Are we talking number of pickles? Are we talking pounds? A pickle? Let’s talk pounds. Wow. pounds of pickles. This is the question that’s burning in the minds. Okay,

Marcia Smith 1:30
we are all at home. We got a lot to think about. And that’s one of them. A

Bob Smith 1:33
pickles. Okay. I will say five pounds of pickles. That’s pretty

Marcia Smith 1:37
good. It’s actually eight and a half pounds of pickles a year cheese and dill pickles are twice as popular as sweet pickles. So more of those pickles are dealt with interesting

Bob Smith 1:49
because dill pickles are not they’re not sweet at all. I like deals better myself. But they’re, you know, really make your lips curl up. You know?

Marcia Smith 1:56
I think it’s directly proportionate to how many cheeseburgers we eat.

Bob Smith 2:00
I think you’re right. I think McDonald’s and Culvers and Burger King and all these places are driving the pickle pickle consumption in this country. All right. Now here is a very interesting question. President Trump has taken that Defense Procurement Act and used it to help to compel numbers of manufacturers to make ventilators and respirators and masks and so forth. And that has a add a seat and back during World War Two, when the government did take over a lot of factories, and a lot of manufacturing facilities and make them do things like you’re gonna build tanks now. You’re not gonna build cars anymore, and you’re gonna build aircraft board. Okay. So during World War Two, what did the United States government removed from luxury department stores and put in defense plants removed? They removed something from luxury department stores and put them in defense plants?

Marcia Smith 2:53
Oh, it wasn’t hosiery less. It’s no backing, but something female

Bob Smith 2:57
mannequins or anything like that.

Marcia Smith 3:00
I have no idea. Think about luxury departments.

Bob Smith 3:02
Yeah. pleasant place to shop. What would they remove from a luxury department stores?

Marcia Smith 3:06
fireplaces? I

Bob Smith 3:08
remember that and place in defense plans.

Marcia Smith 3:10
Alright. Oh, no air conditioning,

Bob Smith 3:11
air conditioning, air conditioning was a luxury. I’ll bet it was and they were removed from stores like Tiffany’s in New York and replaced in war related industrial plants to help improve the production of workers. That’s kind of funny, I think interesting that the funny haha, no, but they went into Macy’s and Tiffany said we’re gonna take these, you know, our air

Marcia Smith 3:32
conditioner. Take our air conditioners See you later, as long as they don’t come to my house and take it. Okay.

Bob Smith 3:37
Now we know numerous people who’ve been involved in rotary clubs or rotary auxiliaries, you know, we’re female. Where’s that Rotary Club get its name. And it goes back to Chicago. 1905 19 1905. In Chicago, the Rotary Club Rotary International. It’s called now. I’m trying to think the name think of the name. Yeah. Me. Yeah, rotation, rotation Rotary. That’s, that’s why they got the name. Its members met in rotation at the offices or places of business of the various members of the Rotary Club. Whereas

Marcia Smith 4:13
here’s a question for you, Bob. What’s the longest amount of time a solar eclipse can take place? Oh, that’s

Bob Smith 4:21
a good one. So it only takes place over a certain amount of time. And I think it’s only like, maybe two and a half minutes or something like that. It appears anyone plays

Marcia Smith 4:30
due to a breach of the speed at which the sun moves. It’s impossible for a solar eclipse to last more than seven minutes and 58 seconds.

Bob Smith 4:39
Wow. At any given location on Earth. It’s gonna last no more than that. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 4:43
seven minutes and 58 seconds. But it’s impossible to be longer than that.

Bob Smith 4:50
You know, we all know that the potato originated were Ireland, South America. Oh, that could have been my question for you. Where did the potato originate from pancer I know I’ve told you

Marcia Smith 5:02
the answer. South America, South America.

Bob Smith 5:05
They were important to Europe by the 1500s, with Spanish ships returned from Peru with their silver and all that. But they were slow to catch on. Why were they banned in Burgundy at one point? Potato potatoes? Yeah.

Marcia Smith 5:20
Tell me well, people

Bob Smith 5:22
thought they caused leprosy. You know, there’s all kinds of things that can happen. Yeah, yeah.

Marcia Smith 5:27
I still do. Yeah, I don’t eat them.

Bob Smith 5:33
Okay, where’s the longest canal in the world? Oh,

Marcia Smith 5:36
I would say, around Panama. But no, you

Bob Smith 5:40
think it was Panama. But there’s another famous canal in in the Middle East. It’s called Suez Suez Canal. Yeah. And that’s not it. And then there’s the area to I know, Bob the Erie Canal. But that’s not it either. I know that. Okay. The longest canal in the world is in China. It’s the Grand Canal in China, which connects the yellow in the Yangtze rivers. And when was that built?

Marcia Smith 6:04
Give me a clue. Well,

Bob Smith 6:06
you think about the Suez and the Panama Canal were built with modern equipment, you know, huge cranes, and the Suez was 150 60 years ago. The Grand Canal was built 1400 years ago, and it’s 20 times as long as the Panama Canal 20 times it’s hard to believe in China.

Marcia Smith 6:25
Look at what the Romans did. So long ago. Okay. Okay. Interesting. Okay, Bob, I think you know, one of these two, but can you name name the two oldest cities in the United States? I

Bob Smith 6:39
think they’re St. Augustine and New Mexico. What is it?

Marcia Smith 6:44
The answer is? Santa Fe,

Bob Smith 6:49
Santa Fe. Yes. And they’re both about the same year, aren’t they? Well, 1565

Marcia Smith 6:52
for Augustine and 1609. For Santa Fe. So the oldest is still St. Augustine, which we went to a few years ago. What a beautiful place. That is.

Bob Smith 7:03
That’s right. And there’s the Spanish fort, the fort that the Spanish built there, too, is still there. And that was to monitor the traffic on the ocean to make sure that the treasure ships didn’t get taken over by pirates. All right, here’s one that’s topical. Okay. What Why did plague doctors look like walking birds?

Marcia Smith 7:25
Well, walking birds, that means they must have had something over their nose. Yes, plague doctors like a cone of silence and cone to protect them reading.

Bob Smith 7:35
That’s right. That’s exactly right. So we know what the hazmat suits look like that people are having to use these days with the Coronavirus and stuff well, plague doctors were basically wearing the hazmat suits of their time. That’s head to toe protection. And today, the hazmat suit has like a headgear looks like a snorkel. Well, doctors in the 1600s wore the original hazmat suits, which originated in France, and the guy named Charles DeLorean in 1630. He was the chief physician to French kings proposed doctors with a thick black overcoat gloves, circular glass, and a mask. Plus a want to inspect patients from a distance or keep them at a distance really. But the bird look came from the masks. They were leather masks, which ended in a beak like point because there was belief that the plague could be spread through it’s terrible smell. Oh, really? Yeah. So the beak would prevent doctors from breathing that air. And then doctors also stuffed the inside point of that beak with mint or lavender spices to keep the stench out of their noses. But if you see any of these pictures from that time, they looked like bird like costumes and paintings from the Middle Ages, and those bird like masks were still used into the 19th century in some third world country.

Marcia Smith 8:47
I think I’ve seen pictures of them. Yeah, they’re bizarre. You thought it was like some kind of a ritual or so. Yeah, well look at the hazmat suits. That’s pretty bizarre.

Bob Smith 8:55
That is very bizarre,

Marcia Smith 8:57
scare the disease out of God again, let’s stick with health for a moment. Okay. And I got this from our local AARP bulletin here. Okay. But this is I’ve always been interested in this substance. They say now that two tablespoons of this daily every day will fight not only heart disease, but cognitive decline in a big significant way. Two tablespoons of this What is it Bob?

Bob Smith 9:26
It’s not honey. My favorite topic from one of the other shows. Okay,

Marcia Smith 9:32
it’s two tablespoons,

Bob Smith 9:33
tablespoons. Those are big.

Marcia Smith 9:35
That is big. Well, I’m

Bob Smith 9:36
sure it’s not sugar. I’m sure it’s not jelly. So it must be is it something that’s medicinal, like castor oil or something? Like no, no,

Marcia Smith 9:44
it’s much better than that. It’s extra virgin olive oil. Oh, no

Unknown Speaker 9:49
kidding. Oh,

Marcia Smith 9:50
there’s a lot of research on I you know, I always tried to cook with olive oil because I’ve always believed it was good. But now more and more data is coming in about how really good it is for you. And, and oddly enough, some of the best extra virgin olive oil comes from California because they’re highly regulated. And so only the best goes out of there. So keep that I’m always looking for Italy, but they’ve got good stuff in Italy, but I don’t know if they ship it over here, which brings me to in normal times, Italians outlive Americans by an average of four years, but in this one little mountain region of Sicily, the people, the locals regularly live past 100 at a rate of more than four times greater than Italy as a whole. Wow. And this is because it’s olive tree country, and they’re always snacking on olives and using the fruits to prepare dinner. They’re just second down olives all the time and living to 100 there is no big thing. It literally unclog your arteries and sometimes dementia that’s already started Alzheimer’s even. It can reverse really, because it breaks up that coagulation of brain cells. So

Bob Smith 11:03
it is a medicinal topic. I mean, treat them. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 11:08
So I tried to figure out a way we’d hunker down two tablespoons of that a day poured on some bread or

Bob Smith 11:14
just gotta go over the olive oil store but it’s closed right now. It is. Hey, you know, you and I always like these interesting facts juxtaposition of things happening together, and they’re very odd that they happen together. This is from 1958 June 10 1958, a tornado crashed through El Dorado or El Dorado, Kansas. It pulled a woman out of her house carried her 60 feet away and landed her relatively unharmed. Next to a copy of the record stormy weather. Just amazing. Well, how did

Marcia Smith 11:51
I not know that? I used to love that song. It was it was old when I was young, since Mom and I together. Wow, very good. Well, that’s serendipity. I would guess. You

Bob Smith 12:05
like words. I got one. That’s kind of fun.

Marcia Smith 12:07
I use them regularly. Okay, well, yeah, sure. Do

Bob Smith 12:09
use them regularly. Okay. Where does the name of the European country Spain come from? What does that name mean? Muster, Charlie? No, that’s Italian. That is so what Spain? What is the name Spain come from? I don’t know. Oh, Kelly’s. Well, apparently, it was once known more for its animals than its dancers. We know Spanish dancers. Okay. The Carthaginians of the sixth century gave the land the romantic name of Spania. Which means Land of the rabbits originally apparently was a place where there were a lot of rabbits. Is that right? Okay. What prompted the forming of the first US Automobile Association? What specifically prompted the forming of the first US Automobile Association? I have no idea. It was formed specifically for the purpose of providing scouts or lookouts who would warn motorists about police tracks. Oh, really?

Marcia Smith 13:07
Oh, that’s what that’s curious. That’s an interesting factoid. And we’ll

Bob Smith 13:11
be back with more factoids coming up in just a moment. You’re listening to shelter in place trivia on the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. We’re back again. This is Bob and Marsha Smith and we are doing Shelter in Place trivia. This is the end of the fifth week of sheltering in place. And Marsha has an interesting question. Okay.

Marcia Smith 13:34
Yeah, going back to words. The 10 most commonly used words, I’d like you to name five of the 10 most commonly used words in the English language.

Bob Smith 13:45
Now we’re using articles to like though, that’d be okay. Ran. See. No.

Marcia Smith 13:51
A Yes. Love. No. Go.

Bob Smith 13:57
No. Oh, well, I’m not doing too well. There. I think I did. 10 something like it? No,

Marcia Smith 14:02
it’s thought of and a two in is you that? It?

Bob Smith 14:09
But you can’t even make a sentence out of all that. You

Marcia Smith 14:11
cannot. You can’t but those are those are the 10 most commonly used words.

Bob Smith 14:17
Okay, I have. Remember we were talking the other week about the borders and how hard it would be to cross to close the border between the United States and Canada. Uh huh. Okay, yes. I want you to tell me what are the four things that are unusual about the town of Hyder Alaska? You can guess what one of them is? I can? Well, based on the context of my question, each Y D er, it’s a little place only 87 people

Marcia Smith 14:42
really know you tell me Bob. Okay, first, it’s

Bob Smith 14:45
as far east as you can go in Alaska. It’s the town furthest south in Alaska, so you can get there by car. But that brings us to the third unusual thing about hydro, hydro, Alaska. You can only drive there from a foreign country. Free Canada Oh, and it uses a Canadian area code because it’s it’s right next door to Stuart British Columbia there are no border controls you can drive back and forth between those two towns. Okay? Now every business in Hyder Alaska accepts US and Canadian currency except one what business does not accept Canadian currency? The post office?

Marcia Smith 15:20
Oh, that was my first guess. And I thought No. Okay.

Bob Smith 15:24
Okay now the biggest difference between that town and Stuart Canada, which is right next to it, yeah. Everybody in hydro is well armed because the US gun laws are less restrictive.

Marcia Smith 15:37
Wow, isn’t that swell? So

Bob Smith 15:39
there’s just a little factor about Hyder Alaska. Well, speaking

Marcia Smith 15:42
of the postal system bomb in the late 1800s. What did the postmasters of Afghanistan, make their postmasters do to cancel stamps?

Bob Smith 15:57
What did they require them to do? Did they have to open up an artery and put blood on the stamp or something like that?

Marcia Smith 16:04
What what? They had to cancel postage by actually biting off a piece of the stamp?

Bob Smith 16:10
So it would teeth marks there you new you know,

Marcia Smith 16:13
I ripped it off with your teeth. Don’t ask me why, Bob. It’s, I don’t make this up a cheese.

Bob Smith 16:22
Okay, all right. All right. I’ve got a question for you. This country is also in that part of the world. Okay. This country is in the Middle East. 99% of its population lives on 4% of the land. Now we’re talking probably, well over 50 million people. Maybe more. She’s live on 4% of the land. 99% of the population live there. What nation is it? Wow. Lebanon think of geography. Lebanon, think of water. Water. Oh,

Marcia Smith 16:52
this has a lot of water. Don’t

Bob Smith 16:53
people need water? They do. So they’d have to live near water. So where is there a Big Sandy.

Marcia Smith 17:02
Water mountain? Don’t

Bob Smith 17:03
desert? Desert? God, okay, the answer is Egypt. Oh, that was yeah, we know for pyramids and sand. But most of the people live in the flat roof sunbaked homes in the Nile River Delta 90% of Egypt’s people there live in that just a little area. Okay. All right. This

Marcia Smith 17:26
is a quote for our times. Okay. But it’s not it’s from 1936. Who said it? The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. Why? Well, I love that. Think about it. How many people can’t think of two sides of an argument without their head exploding. So

Bob Smith 17:52
this was a maybe an attorney. Possibly. I’m asking for

Marcia Smith 17:57
close no clue. No, no, he was a writer, a writer. And

Bob Smith 18:01
I’m thinking of 36 The guy who wrote the books about the Middle East te Lawrence.

Marcia Smith 18:07
Ah, good. No, it was F Scott Fitzgerald. Really? Could you read that? You’re right the last time

Bob Smith 18:14
the Last Tycoon Yeah, he did that was unfinished.

Marcia Smith 18:16
Finished. That’s when he passed.

Bob Smith 18:19
Could you could you read that quote again? Because that’s fascinating. The test

Marcia Smith 18:23
of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

Bob Smith 18:33
Very good words.

Marcia Smith 18:34
They aren’t they speaking

Bob Smith 18:35
of words, I have some famous last words. Some more famous last words from Oh, do share from that book by Ray Robinson. So what famous man’s last words were leave the shower curtain on the inside of the tub?

Marcia Smith 18:49
Wow. That’s got to be a guy with issues.

Bob Smith 18:55
Or not, or I don’t think this guy had based on his profession. He didn’t have any issues. He was very successful at

Marcia Smith 19:04
what field?

Bob Smith 19:04
I’m asking you.

Marcia Smith 19:06
I’m asking you. Okay. Hotels, hotels. Oh, well, he was concerned about shower curtains. Okay, I’ll say Hilton. Conrad

Bob Smith 19:15
Hilton. I was right. Yeah. He he began his career actually renting out rooms in his home in New Mexico.

Marcia Smith 19:22
He was the first Yes,

Bob Smith 19:24
it was like an Airbnb eventually got into the hotel business. And of course, he built an international empire of hotels, and he died in 1979. But he lived a life where he thought of nothing but what hotels right yeah, and on his deathbed in 1979 he was asked if he had any last words of wisdom and that’s what he said leave the shower curtain on the inside of the

Marcia Smith 19:44
tub. Well, that makes sense. At first I thought he was some kind of nutcase but that actually makes sense for that guy.

Bob Smith 19:50
Okay, I have another funny interesting last words said you won’t know this person but it’s an interesting story. Okay, this person is famous last words were Wait a second. It was a woman. And guess why she wanted people to wait a second. She had more to say or she wanted God to wait a second. Oh, Madame de Pompadour, she was a mistress to Frances Louie the 15th She was a patron of the arts and theatre. And as Ray Robinson, author of famous last words describe she was never one to appear looking anything but her best. So she put God on hold on her deathbed, saying wait a second, applied a final touch of Rouge to her cheeks. Oh, and died. Well, that’s classic.

Marcia Smith 20:33
Yeah. I liked that. I like that. I believe vain people probably live a little longer because they care.

Bob Smith 20:41
What about I mean, people,

Marcia Smith 20:45
one hopes not but who knows who said

Bob Smith 20:48
I don’t have to forgive my enemies. I’ve had them all shot. Again, somebody you never heard of. But it’s it’s a funny story a dying Spanish general Ramon Maria Nevarez. He had used violence and suppression to consolidate power for Queen Isabel the second and he’d been given big positions, one of which was the prime minister, and that’s who he was as he was dying. And a priest asked him if he wanted to forgive anyone. And he said, I don’t have to forgive my enemies. I had them all shot.

Marcia Smith 21:16
That is very funny. And then he died. Yeah. Well, rightly. So.

Bob Smith 21:21
That’s a little karma. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 21:22
Okay, Bob, you may recall Tiny Tim got married on the Late Show one night, right. Oh,

Bob Smith 21:29
the Johnny Carson Show. That’s correct. Two years ago. The Tonight Show. That’s right. What

Marcia Smith 21:33
was his bride’s name? Miss

Bob Smith 21:35
Vicki. Oh, see, you do know. I don’t know what her last name was? No, nobody

Marcia Smith 21:39
does. Oh, I think she had one. And now it’s tiny.

Bob Smith 21:45
Vicki, and then they got divorced. Yes, they

Marcia Smith 21:47
did. I don’t know.

Bob Smith 21:48
I got another question. On a country. We always compare notes with other countries. How are they doing with the Coronavirus? How’s this country doing? How are we doing? And I’ve haven’t heard much about this country with regard to that. But this is a country now. This is in Europe. Listen carefully. It’s in Europe. No one lives more than 33 miles from the sea. It’s not Italy.

Marcia Smith 22:10
Okay. Okay, Scott. It’s a peninsula nation. Say it again.

Bob Smith 22:15
In this country. No one lives more than 33 miles from the sea. It’s in Europe. Which country is it? And okay, the country is Denmark. Oh, it’s in the northern part of Europe. It consists of a peninsula and two groups of island. In fact, the capital city of Copenhagen is it’s on an island. And in Denmark proper, no one lives more than 33 miles from the sea.

Marcia Smith 22:40
That’s a good thing. Yeah. Quick, Bob, who established the Purple Heart? Which president?

Bob Smith 22:47
Oh, that’s a good one. Was that Abraham Lincoln? Abraham Lincoln? I’ll say no. Oh. So as before him? No, it was. Okay. I would say I’d go back to Andrew Jackson or Tyler, some of the people who were who were in military. Yeah, you’d

Marcia Smith 23:04
still be wrong. Because it goes all the way back. It still goes. Oh, it goes back to Washington

Bob Smith 23:08
doesn’t does is George

Marcia Smith 23:10
in 1782. And it was an award for bravery. Then it went away, but revived in 1932 as an award to those who had been killed or wounded in military action. But George started at all. Okay,

Bob Smith 23:24
speaking of presidents. What President said, this is his last words. Okay. I always talk better lying down. Oh, that’s sad. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 23:36
I don’t know who

Bob Smith 23:37
James Madison. But he’s probably pretty good because he never stood tall. He was only five feet four. But of course, he was a giant in other ways. He was responsible for the Bill of Rights and much of the constitution but James Madison’s last words were I always talk better lying down. Okay, and who said in the name of God, please let me die in peace.

Marcia Smith 24:00
I like it. I don’t know who Voltaire Oh, I thought I’m looking for President. No, no, I would have gotten Voltaire and Voltaire

Bob Smith 24:07
was cut it because you know, he didn’t. He fought ignorance all his life. And he thought religion was kind of ignorance. He rejected Christianity believed in deism but he didn’t believe in any one person being Savior of the world or anything. And so on his deathbed, he was asked if he would finally recognize the divinity of Jesus Christ. He was having none of it. He said in the name of God. Please let me die in peace. Oh, do you want to talk God in the name of God lead me alone. Leave me alone. All right,

Marcia Smith 24:37
let me see if I have any left from which Broadway musical is Irving Berlin’s composition. Buyers No Business Like Show Business. You’re

Bob Smith 24:47
singing it like Ethel Merman who I think Did she debut it? I think she did. She did. It was one of those rousers. Everything

Marcia Smith 24:55
about it is up here.

Bob Smith 24:57
Okay, what’s the name of the show? I’d rather hear the name of the show. And to hear more lyrics from the sign

Marcia Smith 25:03
any get your gun? No kidding,

Bob Smith 25:06
Annie Get Your Gun was about

Marcia Smith 25:08
who? Annie Oakley?

Bob Smith 25:10
That’s exactly right. Okay, you know, we are focused on online communication to talk to people these days either through zoom, or through email, which is carried over the internet or through, you know, websites and so forth. So let’s go back another question on YouTube. One of the favorite viewing habits of people these days as they’re cooped up in their homes or their apartments, how much content video content is published every day on the internet by regular people how much video content

Marcia Smith 25:43
video well, in terms of what’s the you could do

Bob Smith 25:47
hours you could do you decide what metric you want could be days could be weeks could be

Marcia Smith 25:53
years, I was gonna say hours, but obviously that’s too little. How

Bob Smith 25:56
much content do every day people publish every day on the internet?

Marcia Smith 26:01
I’ll say 10 days worth.

Bob Smith 26:03
Oh, that’s a good one that take a long time to watch right?

Marcia Smith 26:06
It’s much more isn’t it? Yeah, you’re setting me up I’m setting you up. This

Bob Smith 26:10
comes from an article which I’ll tell you about in a second called the worst job in tech. This was published by The Wall Street Journal back in 2017. YouTube reports that the equivalent of 65 years of video 65 years of video are uploaded to YouTube every day. And

Marcia Smith 26:30
think you know what I think of when I hear that I mean think of all the all the I T machines that are holding all this information, all the servers and everything the servers all in these storage farms storage data firms, can we can I say that all the storage farms used at 65 years a day a day where you know, it’s not going to be garbage that overtakes the US. It’s going to be YouTube videos of cats, dogs and your baby. Well,

Bob Smith 26:58
and unfortunately, this article, as I said, was called the worst job in tech. The worst job in the tech industry is watching all of that to remove the bad stuff.

Marcia Smith 27:08
Oh God.

Bob Smith 27:09
So the former Sarah Katz, who was a former Facebook content moderator said she reviewed as many as 8000 posts a day and was only paid $24 an hour to do this work. And she watched and read some of the most vile content produced by man. So burnouts very common for people who have that. But fortunately, we have the cat videos that you like, and the dog videos and and a lot of fun stuff. We heard today that some of our friends actually did a Gilligan’s Island parody, and they pushed it pushed it on the on the web their family did. So we’re looking forward to seeing that. So that’s

Marcia Smith 27:45
it for me today. Bob. Do you have any last words for me? What would be your last words, Bob?

Bob Smith 27:52
That’s it. No, I don’t know what my famous last words. I wouldn’t be famous. I know that. I probably probably just I love you. Thank you so much. Yeah, I can hear you saying thanks for being with us. And we hope you’ve enjoyed listening to us as we prattle on with some interesting facts and trivia. I guess because we’re going stir crazy like most people are to getting out get some exercise.
