Marcia Smith 0:00
What music has remained popular to this day since it debuted in 1742 for a charity fundraiser?

Bob Smith 0:08
Oh, that’s a good one. And what holiday was once synonymous with riots, burglary and street gigs,

Marcia Smith 0:15
not my birthday. Oh

Bob Smith 0:17
yes sir to those that other questions coming up in this episode of the off ramp with Bob and Marsha

Marcia Smith 0:22
Smith

Bob Smith 0:40
Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy. Take a side road to sanity and get some perspective on life. Okay, Marsha, let’s get to that interesting question of yours there.

Marcia Smith 0:52
It is interesting. The question is what music that debuted in 1742 for a charity fundraiser has remained popular to this day.

Bob Smith 1:03
So this is something that’s still played and popular. 1742 G, my pop charts don’t go back that far. So I’ll just say what is the answer Marsh? Okay,

Marcia Smith 1:15
hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Bob Smith 1:18
Oh Handel’s Messiah.

Marcia Smith 1:20
That’s it, okay. The oratorio debuted at a Dublin Ireland benefit for three charities, prisoners debt relief, a charitable infirmary and Mercer’s hospital. I

Bob Smith 1:31
knew it was in Ireland, but I didn’t understand that and

Marcia Smith 1:34
get this okay, handle wrote it for a very small group of people, not hundreds of voices like we often hear it today. It was scored for just eight instruments and was sung by 32 people. Wow,

Bob Smith 1:46
that is amazing. That’s like a normal sized choir for some church and

Marcia Smith 1:51
they wanted to get as many people in as possible. So women, were encouraged not to wear those big hoop skirt. So they could smash more people. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. And 700 people attended, and they took in 400 pounds for the three charities. And they were able to set free 142 indebted prisoners. Wow, what a legacy that is their debt.

Bob Smith 2:16
That is amazing. So they left these guys because people were thrown in prison because they were poor in England, and just because you’re poor. Yeah, you were thrown in prison sometimes. Wow. That’s amazing. Well, I’ve sung parts of the Messiah as you know, and it’s beautiful. Did you know that he wrote that entire thing and just like three to four weeks I think 24 days. It’s amazing. It’s gorgeous. I

Marcia Smith 2:38
can’t write a letter in that. And in fact it’s such a large composition that NPR is music expert miles Hoffman estimates there are recorder of the million notes in the Messiah Wow quarter with

Bob Smith 2:53
all the parts it’s a quarter well yeah, it can it be well you have parts for each orchestra you know instrument you have you have parts for for at least four probably six voices, six different levels of voices, you know, bass, tenor, alto soprano, and then there’s other ones so when you put all those together and it’s I don’t know how many pieces it is how many pieces of music it’s many different scenes. That makes sense. But wow, what an accomplishment and what a legacy Yeah, for charities.

Marcia Smith 3:20
Beautiful still tingles me.

Bob Smith 3:22
Did you know this? This is a related fact. Okay. Okay. At one point in history, Italian opera was illegal in Italy.

Marcia Smith 3:31
Why? Well, well, a lot of people hate it opera period. That

Bob Smith 3:35
was a net. opera performances in Rome were forbidden by the pope because many operas had sexually suggestive content. Oh, yeah, that’s one reason Handel’s Messiah was controversial when it debuted in England controversial because where they debuted it, it wasn’t in a cathedral but in an auditorium where opera was performed. Okay, that’s interesting. So the church frowned on performing religious works in auditoriums or music halls, where some suggestive comedy might be performed tonight later, and that’s one reason handled, debuted his Messiah in Ireland to get away from the English bishops. Okay. Very critical English bishops. Well, anyway, that’s, that’s very good. Well, I’ve got a good one for you, too.

Marcia Smith 4:13
Okay. Well, as I like to say, well, yes, you

Bob Smith 4:17
do say that a lot. All right. All right. Here’s mine. This holiday was once synonymous with riots, burglary and street gangs. I’ve got a hit.

Marcia Smith 4:28
Not my birthday, your birthday.

Bob Smith 4:32
Although that was pretty wild at times, as I recall back in the day, the commercialization of this holiday may have saved it from anarchy. Really? Yeah. Commercialization of this wild riot

Marcia Smith 4:48
street Homesmith that that’s

Bob Smith 4:49
exactly right. Isn’t that amazing? Now I didn’t know about this. This came in an article just published the day after Christmas in the Wall Street Journal by Jason Zweig, and Apparently Christmas, if not for the business of gift giving might still be what it once was a riotous Bacchanalia, you know, wild, wild parties drinking a time when drunken gangs broke out in the streets and sometimes bashed their way into homes demanding money and alcohol.

Marcia Smith 5:16
Sounds like my family. It’s rainy days.

Bob Smith 5:18
They still have that that tradition, don’t they? Yeah, that was what always set your family apart in my mind.

Marcia Smith 5:25
Is your COVID Put them down? No, but seriously, according

Bob Smith 5:28
to Jason Zweig, writing in The Wall Street Journal. For centuries, December was downtime for most people. And it had been that way for Europeans going all the way back to the rowdy pagan holiday. Saturnalia in ancient Rome. You know, the harvest was over. Yeah, they couldn’t do a lot of stuff in the winter. So when Christmas came around, hey, here’s a chance to celebrate. So rowdy, it went off the rails. And this makes sense. Now this is why Puritans made it illegal to celebrate Christmas in 17th century America. It wasn’t because they were killjoys. Christmas was not like it is today. The Puritans were upset with the disorder and anarchy that surrounded Christmas, the feasting, gambling, drunk and partying. That all went on at Christmas time. Wow. Well, that’s this this was for at least three centuries in Europe. This was the tradition. No kidding. I’ll see. I never knew any of that. A historian named Steve Nissenbaum. His book The battle for Christmas describes the shenanigans that once surrounded the holiday. Now remember this you’ve seen those those great paintings of the Dutch and Flemish artists. They showed Drunken Peasants carousing in the snow and ice with Grog and everything beard. That was that was a depiction of the Christmas season in those days. You can see it in plays of Shakespeare too. You’ve heard of 12th night. That is a very rowdy party. It’s a 1601 play about the 12th night or the last night of Christmas. 12th night is not celebrated much in Christian dumb today, but it was in Elizabeth in England. And these weren’t your grandma’s Christmas parties. They were raucous, noisy events full of drinking mischief making. One tradition was cross dressing men dressing up as women women dressing up as men and in Shakespeare’s 12th Night cross dressing characters binge on Christmas cakes and Ale. So over time until the late 1800s. Christmas was synonymous with carousing and drunkenness. Oh, one more thing on this okay. You know the term Merry Christmas. That was not a good term years ago. Because Mary once met, drinking. So Mary, so what changed all this? What changed? Last

Marcia Smith 7:32
prohibition? No, it

Bob Smith 7:34
wasn’t prohibition. This is a unique of a way to look at it because we all think of Christmas being over commercialized, right? But these historians are saying no, it was the commercialization of Christmas, that saved Christmas, Santa Claus, all of these traditions came in of gift giving, not gift taking, not people coming into your apartment and you know knocking things around and stealing your alcohol. You notice in the night before Christmas, the narrator said of Santa I had nothing to dread that reflected the fact that that Christmas people in the streets used to break into houses. But even though Santa broke into his house, he had nothing to dread. And at the end of that poem, he didn’t say Merry Christmas to all into all a good night. He said Happy Christmas again, because Mary was a negative term. So these people all say that the commercialization of Christmas gift giving stores starting to have their own Christmas hours at night, all the mobs and the crazy people went away and then the advertisers and the newspapers all promoted because everybody wanted to get rid of all this violence at Christmas taught about churches, churches wanted to get rid of the violence at Christmas time because they were broken into by the thugs as well.

Marcia Smith 8:43
Good heavens. Okay, staying with the happiness theme. Science shows that happiness and music can be very closely linked, happiness actually makes your brain work better. Anyway, in 2015, a neuroscientist identified the top happiest tunes, Dr. Jacob Jolie put together through algorithms what makes a happy song and so he found the neuroscientists that the happiest tunes are slightly faster than your average song, okay? And they’re written in a major key. And they’re usually an orphan about happy events or complete nonsense. All right, what are some examples? So don’t stop me now. Queen. Okay, dancing queen number two, okay. Yeah. Okay. Good vibration of the Beach Boys. Right. Right town girl.

Bob Smith 9:36
Okay. High energy fun song.

Marcia Smith 9:39
Yeah, Eye of the Tiger. Okay. I’m a believer. The Monkees. Oh man. I saw her face. Yeah, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. That’s it. That makes sense. Cyndi Lauper living on a prayer? Bon Jovi? Okay. I will survive Gloria Gaynor and number 10 Walking on Sunshine.

Bob Smith 9:58
I always liked that

Marcia Smith 9:59
we did that way. Katrina and the wave Yes, must have been their big hit.

Bob Smith 10:03
It wasn’t a big hit. In fact, I looked them up recently because that song came up. I thought whatever happened, who are these people that did this? Because I was in radio at the time. I remember playing that, but I can’t remember who did it.

Marcia Smith 10:13
Yeah, I couldn’t either. And but these are all songs we know. And they do make you happy.

Bob Smith 10:18
Okay, what did the American Dialect Society choose as the word of the year for 2020? Oh, that’s

Marcia Smith 10:25
good. Now, we’ve

Bob Smith 10:26
had all these lists recently of things that happened in 2020. Things went wrong things that went right. What was the word of the year in 2020? According to the American Dialect Society, they’ve been doing this for 30 years. So is it it has something to do with dialect, it’s just the word that they said really symbolizes the year more than anything, or was unique. I know

Marcia Smith 10:46
what I’d say what? misinformation. Oh,

Bob Smith 10:50
that’s true. It was big. Yeah, but the answer is actually COVID COVID-19. Yeah, well, that makes sense. That word didn’t even exist until February 11 of 2019. That’s when the World Health Organization announced the name of the disease caused by the novel Coronavirus COVID 19 had other competition there was Doom scrolling obsessing over news online. Another one’s rolling was big. Another was blurs day describing how they seem to blend into each other during the lockdown. All right now, here’s the question We’ve all forgotten the answer to what does COVID-19 stand for? It’s actually an acronym.

Marcia Smith 11:28
Oh, gosh, I have no remembrance. It’s

Bob Smith 11:32
less complicated than you think. It’s Corona virus disease 2019 CEO from Corona vi from Virus D from disease and 19 for the year 2019 When it first appeared, and of course people have shortened it even more to COVID Corona and the Rona. Okay, so that’s all from the American Dialect Society. The slang word of the year was Rona. But the official word of the year was COVID 19.

Marcia Smith 12:00
I’ll be done. Bob, do you know who Frederick J Bower is

Bob Smith 12:04
Frederick J. Bower Bower? No. Wow.

Marcia Smith 12:07
His claim to fame was his design of the Pringles potato chip cylinder. Okay. Anyway, he died in 2008 at the age of 89. And can you think you can tell me what was unusual about his burial?

Bob Smith 12:23
He was buried in a Pringles container. That was the ashes turned into Oh,

Marcia Smith 12:30
dear God portion of him was put into a Pringle can by his request and buried. Oh, Lord, I told you it was his big claim to fame.

Bob Smith 12:40
That’s an interesting one. All right. Now I’ve got a presidential question for you. Yeah. What President and his wife are credited with popularizing a famous dessert.

Marcia Smith 12:51
Very early president was it a Bananas Foster thing? No. No, that you’re on the right track. Yeah, it was. It seems to me there’s something in the archives have my memory about

Bob Smith 13:03
would that be Marsh? Oh.

Marcia Smith 13:07
That would be in another room. Oh, my brain. Yeah, about a chef being all excited because they were there and he had to whip up something out of nothing. Oh,

Bob Smith 13:17
that’s a good guess. But no, that’s not okay. Then I don’t know. Well, it’s James and Dolley Madison. They love something new called ice cream. Okay. They loved it so much. They had an ice cream house built on the grounds of their Montpelier estate and ice cream house. Yeah, a place that ice cream was made that way they could enjoy ice cream and ice drinks all summer long a place to store ice cream and make ice cream. Are they both a bit chubby? I don’t know. And they also served ice cream at official government functions in the White House. So they are responsible for popularizing ice cream.

Marcia Smith 13:49
All right, Bob, quick question who’s saying backup? In currently? Simon’s yours so vague.

Bob Smith 13:55
Mick Jagger.

Marcia Smith 13:56
Oh, how did you know that

Bob Smith 13:58
was a famous thing. And then it was funny because a lot of people thought the song was about,

Marcia Smith 14:01
but it wasn’t. It was about Warren Beatty. That’s correct to boy. All right. You got me on this one. Okay,

Bob Smith 14:08
time for a break now. Okay. All right. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. We’ll be back in just a moment. We’re back and you’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. All right, by now everybody knows the names zum zum, which was an obscure video call company. It grew lightning fast in 2020. How fast did zoom grow any idea?

Marcia Smith 14:34
I’ll say from February to June 2,000%.

Bob Smith 14:40
Well, that’s pretty good. Here’s remember here in the United States. Everything seemed to shut down on March 11. Uh huh. That’s the week the National Basketball Association’s play. A Tom Hanks and his wife, Pat COVID. And then the White House declared a national emergency before that Zoom had 10 million users A day in December 2019. It jumped from 10 million a day to more than 300 million a day by the end of March by the end of March at the end of March 2020. Yeah, I

Marcia Smith 15:11
didn’t I estimate. That’s how fast that technology grew. Okay,

Bob Smith 15:15
I got another business that zoomed to success in 2020. What

Marcia Smith 15:19
was that bad, right?

Bob Smith 15:21
Yeah, at one point, it was 100,000 orders behind in production of its most expensive products.

Marcia Smith 15:27
I should know. I should know this. I think I do. What company

Bob Smith 15:30
is what is it? It’s peloton, really the home fitness company. Those are expensive. Yeah, it enjoyed a 172% revenue increase between April and July compared to a year earlier. And by July, it had so much demand after COVID Shut Down gyms and fitness centers. It was 100,000 exercise bikes behind in production. Now the company did really good last year, they ended up with a market value of $47 billion. They are worth more than the Ford Motor Company. Now, I didn’t know this. They have two lines of bikes. One they call it connected. They’re called the connected

Marcia Smith 16:05
exercise. You work out with somebody trainers and with other users than the other

Bob Smith 16:10
one necessarily flail around. Kind of like you and I, we flail by ourselves. All right, courtesy

Marcia Smith 16:16
of Christmas books from you and our children. I have a few fun, fast, fun facts. Okay. out of every four Americans, Bob, how many have appeared on television? Well, this

Bob Smith 16:27
is like that question we had about how many people what percentage of people have taken that plane? Right? Yeah, remember that? How many be one one out of 40? Right. See less than one in four? I’d say maybe? Well, 25%. That’s pretty. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 16:40
One in every four has appeared on television at one time or not amazing.

Bob Smith 16:44
Now, we’re not talking about stars. But maybe you were in a news story. Right

Marcia Smith 16:48
here. You and me. We both been on television. Yeah. You know, not in a big way. But we have been on it. So that’s not surprising.

Bob Smith 16:57
We have faces for radio. That’s

Marcia Smith 16:58
why what was the first part me?

Bob Smith 17:01
I’m just kidding. I have a face for radio. You You obviously should be on television. More.

Marcia Smith 17:09
Okay, who was the first non human to win an Oscar?

Bob Smith 17:12
Rin Tin Tin? Now, Mickey Mouse? You got it. Okay. Okay.

Marcia Smith 17:17
You know how you are a magnet for any animal that lives out in nature?

Bob Smith 17:21
We’re not speaking in positive terms here. No, I attract all kinds of parasites. Yes.

Marcia Smith 17:26
Including me. So. So here’s the question. i You should keep this in mind. Mosquitoes are more attracted to what color than any other color? Probably red. Know what your favorite color?

Bob Smith 17:39
Well, bread is my favorite color.

Marcia Smith 17:42
I thought Blue was No. Blue.

Bob Smith 17:47
I’ve got to wear more red than Yes. I’ll be happy about Yes. Okay. I haven’t had a presidential question. What President attended Napoleon’s coronation. Did you know that a future President attended Napoleon’s coronation? Yes.

Marcia Smith 18:00
All right. I don’t know. What did we talk? This is 1804. Oh, okay. So I Harrison. No, I have

Bob Smith 18:08
no idea. No, we’re talking way back James Monroe and Elizabeth. Okay. Now, Monroe wasn’t president at the time. He was the American ambassador to the UK when the Monroe’s attended Napoleon’s coronation at Notre Dame Cathedral in 1804. He also helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase from Nepal. Okay.

Marcia Smith 18:24
You know how you love bees, Bobby.

Bob Smith 18:27
I don’t love bees. These are some of those insects that I don’t think so more of nature that I attract. How many

Marcia Smith 18:33
flowers do they have to visit for a spoonful of honey?

Bob Smith 18:38
How many flowers to the F to visit in order to get enough?

Marcia Smith 18:42
You love honey, but bees can kill you? That’s right. Interesting paradigm it

Bob Smith 18:47
is. Women have been that way in my life. Before I met you, yeah. Let’s see. All right, how many? I don’t know my show. Many bees

Marcia Smith 18:57
must visit around 5000 flowers to get a spoonful of honey to make a

Bob Smith 19:03
spoonful only? Well, that’s why it requires a whole colony of bees. Yeah, yeah.

Marcia Smith 19:08
And that’s why it’s and usually in a pure honey ain’t cheap. No, no

Bob Smith 19:12
raw honey is not cheap. 5000 flowers. Holy cow. Yeah. Okay, here is a question about a word that we heard every once in a while in 2020 the word loot when we heard about people rioting. Now what are the origins of the word loot loot?

Marcia Smith 19:31
was out? I don’t know.

Bob Smith 19:34
It comes from India, in the language of Hindi known in colonial times as Hindustani lute spelled L U T. Referred to spoils of war now eventually the the Indians did not like the British of course and they started calling the British looters your looting our culture. You know, another word that is used when we always hear politicians talk about the thugs. You know thugs is another term that also came from India. The British accused Members of the Thuggy cult have being highway robbers, and the shorthand for those individuals became thugs. And they’re both used today in contexts of people taking advantage of chaotic situations. Speaking

Marcia Smith 20:11
of rats, well then how long? How many days? Can they tread water without stopping rats? This is from my Christmas book that totally awesome book of useless information. You

Bob Smith 20:23
know, that’s interesting because rats live in sewers, don’t they? And sewers are full of I had

Marcia Smith 20:27
no idea. They could even tread wide. Another couple of minutes. No, tell me. They can tread water for three days without stopping holy cow. Means they can survive a lot. Okay, one other quick one. What’s the most shoplifted book in America?

Bob Smith 20:45
The most shoplet? Is it the Bible? Yes, it’s stolen more than any other book? Yeah. Say I’ve got some other things that changed in 2020 because people had to depend more on the web instead of doing things in person. So let me ask you some questions. How many more people took advantage of the web to see therapists than before? I’ll bet what percentage went up?

Marcia Smith 21:07
I’ll say 27%. The American Psychiatric

Bob Smith 21:10
Association said the percentage of patients regularly using telehealth with a professional went from 2.1% to 84 points. 84.7% By the summer.

Marcia Smith 21:22
Wow, that’s huge field

Bob Smith 21:24
trips went online. You know, you can have a field trip and you can go to G museums, you could chat with Rangers at Denali National Park. And you can go on a 360 degree exploration of Mars via NASA’s Curiosity rover. That’s what’s the percentage of increase of people who started dating via the web,

Marcia Smith 21:42
I’ll say 85%. It’s probably there

Bob Smith 21:46
because Bumble alone said they had a 70% increase in video chats among daters and hinges another service they reported 44% of its users had gone to video dating.

Marcia Smith 21:57
Thank God, it exists. Yeah. And our children use it too. Yeah. All right. What’s the most commonly used word in the English language?

Bob Smith 22:07
Ron, I thought was the most commonly used words really? years ago, Ron? Yeah, no, no, no. What?

Marcia Smith 22:12
i Oh, I

Bob Smith 22:14
is in me. Okay. Okay. That says something about society, doesn’t

Marcia Smith 22:19
it? Did you know pearls melt and vinegar? No, I didn’t either. That’s

Bob Smith 22:23
another factor. You have their guts. Got some good Christmas books there. Oh, I have another couple things that changed in 2020. Delivery by GrubHub brands increased by what percent?

Marcia Smith 22:35
Oh, gosh, that’s another way up door to door kind of stuff. I know. Yeah. GrubHub. I’ll say 77.5%. Now,

Bob Smith 22:44
I would have thought that too. And maybe overall, it was that, but GrubHub their brands increased by 32%. But interestingly, they had one particular sandwich. It was particularly popular. It’s shot up 300% Compared to 2018.

Marcia Smith 22:57
One particularly like a, like a submarine or something spicy

Bob Smith 23:01
chicken sandwich. Really? Yeah, for some reason. That’s one of theirs. And it shot to 300% over the previous

Marcia Smith 23:07
year. Isn’t that interesting?

Bob Smith 23:10
So but what was the top search term on GrubHub? In 2020? something near and dear to your heart? Your dairy your taste buds strong?

Marcia Smith 23:20
Corned beef, salami wine.

Bob Smith 23:24
Oh, you heard of that? Wow.

Marcia Smith 23:27
So people were okay. Can you have mine delivered by GrubHub? Don’t they have to know how old you are? Well, I

Bob Smith 23:33
think if you just say hello. Like I do. Yeah, I’m sure you have to have some kind of ID when it when you get there. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 23:41
I would imagine that works. I never thought of ordering wine on online, and then

Bob Smith 23:46
ebook sales increased by as much as 39%. And there was a 132.5% increase in the sales of children’s and young adult titles, and borrowing ebooks through libraries via Kindle or other reading apps went up 52% in 2012. I

Marcia Smith 24:04
believe it. I believe it. I’ll give you two factoids, and then a question. Okay, okay. I sent this one to our daughter this morning. Because she collects these 4000 people are injured by teapots every year.

Bob Smith 24:21
4000 so people actually pick up and throw tea.

Marcia Smith 24:24
But there it doesn’t explain Bob why they’re injured by teapots. They just are and she collects teapots, little teapots.

Bob Smith 24:32
I didn’t I didn’t know that Chelsea collected. She’s got a little china

Marcia Smith 24:35
ones from her grandma’s. That’s kind of cute. And that’s 4000 but 40,000 Americans are injured every year. By toilets.

Bob Smith 24:50
That toilet just reached out and attacked me so

Marcia Smith 24:53
they got a picture with this potty posse so they got a teapot in a toilet.

Bob Smith 24:58
Very dangerous. Anything made us Ceramic apparently is dangerous. Oh my gosh. Okay. Okay, I have two more things that occurred that changed in actually in 2020. connected TV viewing that’s viewing using streaming services, you know, like HBO, Max, Netflix, Amazon Prime Disney that went up what percentage over 2019?

Marcia Smith 25:18
Well, you’re just full of percentage. Well, it’s

Bob Smith 25:20
kind of interesting. All the changes that occurred in one year.

Marcia Smith 25:23
I’ll say, overall,

Bob Smith 25:25
streaming viewing went up. 500% 82% 82% guess I was off a little and sales of bigger TVs at 65 inches and up, soared 77%. Just between April and June.

Marcia Smith 25:40
What age Bob is the human brain become fully developed?

Bob Smith 25:44
I think it’s actually when you’re pretty young, isn’t it? When you’re like 18 or 22? little older? Oh, really? What is it?

Marcia Smith 25:52
It’s 2525. Yes. Adult and Teen brains work differently. adults think with their predominantly their prefrontal cortex. Well, boys don’t know that they come in. We all know they think. Yeah, okay. 25 They say adults are fully developed brain wise. Okay, I’ve

Bob Smith 26:11
got some puns to wrap things up, because you guys usually do something fun. Do I? Yeah. If I said venison for dinner. What would you say? Oh, dear. Exactly. How does Moses make tea? I don’t know. Hebrews. It. Hebrews. That’s funny.

Marcia Smith 26:29
Okay.

Bob Smith 26:32
All right. So this came from Mitchell Smith, one of our friends here. I changed my iPods name to Titanic. It sinks now. And jokes about German sausage are just the worst.

Marcia Smith 26:43
Yes, that’s an old one. Okay, good. I’ll finish with a you know a new year kind of quote. I’ve got two of them CS Lewis. Okay. You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. And here closing out the year with Alfred Lord Tennyson. ring out the old ring in the new ring happy bells across the snow. The year is going let him go. Wring out the false ring in the true great words

Bob Smith 27:12
for ringing in the new year and that’s what we hope you’re doing right now. We hope you join us next time for more here on the off ramp with Bob and

Marcia Smith 27:20
Marsha Smith.

Bob Smith 27:30
The off rep is produced in association with CPL radio and the Cedarbrook Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
