133 Tipping Point Trivia

Marcia Smith 0:00
Where are you if you travel second to the right, then straight on till morning.

Bob Smith 0:08
Okay, and how did a tipped over test tube in 1910 Ensure you a safer crash in an auto accident today. answers to those and other questions coming up in this episode of the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith

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 with fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. Well, that describes your first question March. I don’t know what you laughing about there.

Marcia Smith 0:55
So Okay, Bob, what famous place will you find if you traveled second to the right then straight on till morning second to

Bob Smith 1:03
the right and straight on till morning. Where are you? That sounds like something out of an outerspace movie or something. Now, second to the right. And straight until more now, huh?

Marcia Smith 1:14
Where do you wind up?

Unknown Speaker 1:16
You got me?

Marcia Smith 1:17
If you’re Peter Pan. That’s where you get Never Never Land. That’s where it’s located.

Unknown Speaker 1:22
Peter Pan.

Marcia Smith 1:24
That’s pretty cool. Yeah, and I forgot it too. It’s funny how you forget that. Yeah, that’s the directions to get to Never Never Land. And that was the work of James Matthew Berry. Yes. About the little boy who refuse to grow up Scottish

Bob Smith 1:37
author. Yeah, famous. Okay. Well, that’s great. All right. So now let’s go to my question, which is even greater, it is not even greater. In 1910, a test tube tipped over in a lab. How did that ensure you have a safer crash in an auto accident.

Marcia Smith 1:54
Somehow that led to airbags? Did it release the force of some kind that the person who did it thought we could put that inside of a balloon and it would eject up on impact.

Bob Smith 2:07
The test tube was tipped over in a laboratory accident and it didn’t break into pieces. It just cracked. And the reason was, the tube had a film left inside of it from evaporation of nitro cellulous mixture that held the tube together. And that led to safety glass, oh, safety glass. So it was French chemist Eduardo Benedictus. He patented the idea in 1910 and in 1926, American armory Haskell obtained the rights to the patent and started the triplex safety glass company of North America and the first safety glass windshields who were first installed as standard equipment on high priced Stutz Bearcat motorcars. It was considered a luxury.

Marcia Smith 2:51
You bet everything is in the beginning. Remember, only luxury cars had airbags and electric windows. Yeah, everybody now, everybody’s got the beeping and the maps and when are they going to run out of ideas? What the luxury cars will have that you don’t know. So who knows? Okay, you ready? Yeah. This is when you’re like, Okay, according to Guinness Book of World Records, Bob, who is the world’s loudest musical band?

Bob Smith 3:15
I thought it was the who? Am I right? Yeah. What was it? Oh, good. You know that? Well, it was either the who are Led Zeppelin.

Marcia Smith 3:22
Well, at least in the 1970s the the who the rock band blew out eardrums with a concert that reached 126 decibels and 76,000 watts.

Bob Smith 3:33
And I guess, karma. So who has tendonitis? What’s his name is Dan towns towns? Yeah, he’s got that ringing in the ears.

Marcia Smith 3:42
And it comes from all that 126 decibels. And that’s the decibel threshold that is equivalent to a jet engine taking geez, what was it again? 126 decibels? Well, Deep Purple had sound that reached 117 decibels before then. And three members of the audience fell unconscious.

Bob Smith 4:01
Oh my goodness. Wow. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 4:05
they were closer apparently to the stage then. That’s interesting. Yes. Well, yeah. How loud is enough fell out is too loud. Yeah, not bad, obviously. Okay,

Bob Smith 4:14
I have another transportation question for you. Okay. How did the man who invented cash register motors help you start your car this morning?

Marcia Smith 4:24
How did that fellow who invented cash, cash register

Bob Smith 4:27
motors. Now this is back in the time when cash registers were electromechanical, not electronic. So everything had a motor in it. Everything had movement. So

Marcia Smith 4:35
obviously some mechanism in the cash register is now inside your car.

Bob Smith 4:41
Charles F Kettering who invented the electric motors used in cash registers, also invented the electric self starting motors used in cars. Before that cars had to be hand cranked to get the motor to turn over. Those cranks can be very dangerous and the inspiration for that was the death of a friend. and have one of the big automakers, Cadillacs boss, Henry Leland had lost a good friend who was killed while trying to crank an auto engine. So he gave Kettering a contract to supply 4000 self starters to Cadillac and Cadillac had the first. Again like you said, all of these features started out in very, very primo cars. And the the first self starting engine was a Cadillac, and Charles F Kettering. His company was called the Dayton engineering laboratories known as Delco. We know that now. And then he eventually became head of one of the major automakers Charles Kettering. Okay.

Marcia Smith 5:37
All right, Bob, there’s a guy named Elias. And he was a carpenter and a furniture maker and he helped build the famous white city of Chicago’s World Fair. This is my last World’s Fair Chicago question. I finished the book and I’ve moved on. That was in 1893. Anyway, Elias was just tickled with the whole process and the magical pneus of the whole event and how it looked in his part and and he talked about it for years. Okay, so Bob, who was Elias,

Bob Smith 6:07
Elias, Elias Disney, Walt Disney.

Marcia Smith 6:10
Walt wasn’t there. This is his dad, his dad. Yes,

Bob Smith 6:14
his dad helped build the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893.

Marcia Smith 6:16
Walt wasn’t even born when he was building but he never stopped talking about and talking to his family about it and telling stories about it. And his youngest son, Walt was born afterwards.

Bob Smith 6:30
And one can’t help but wonder if, if Disney World and Disneyland might have been inspired in some way from his father? Yeah, I had never thought of that.

Marcia Smith 6:35
Yeah, especially the Magic Kingdom. Right. And that’s how his dad would talk about this place.

Bob Smith 6:41
We use the name the Elias, and you only hear about that every once in a while on. I knew that was Walt Disney’s middle name. So that was his dad’s name.

Marcia Smith 6:47
Yeah, I didn’t know that was his middle name. So you guessed that right. Okay. Good for you, Bob.

Bob Smith 6:53
All right, Marcia. I meant to say speaking of movies. These days, we associate the word blockbuster with a big Hollywood film usually released in the summer, right. Something that dominates the box office. But what did blockbuster originally mean,

Marcia Smith 7:08
Messiah was it a lumberjack and he was the first one to break the woods down the middle. No,

Bob Smith 7:15
it’s more recent than that. It’s a world war two term.

Marcia Smith 7:17
Okay. Now I don’t know Oh, you’re pausing like I’m gonna erupt with the answer. I’m sorry, dear. But no

Bob Smith 7:25
Blockbuster is a world war two term dating back to 1942. A blockbuster was an 8000 pound bomb big enough to destroy a city block. And the early post war years that term migrated to boxing when he became heavyweight champion in 1952. Rocky Marcy Anna was known as the Brockton blockbuster. Oh, okay. And then eventually the term migrated to the movies. So that’s where it came from. It came from World War Two and a bomb a huge bomb the blockbuster Yeah, no, I had never heard of that. I just blockbuster it was a block of movies or a block of entertainment or scheduling blockers.

Marcia Smith 8:03
What blockbusters course that’s I never thought of that. Yeah, there’s a video chain the blockbuster chose to together till just this moment. How stupid am I? Well, I

Bob Smith 8:15
don’t think that’s a good question. Ever, ever ask another person. You’ve

Marcia Smith 8:18
never heard this statue of liberty? Hammond? Yes, I have the Statue of Liberty holds a gigantic tablet in her hand. What are the words written on that tablet?

Bob Smith 8:27
1776 as the date doesn’t it? Yeah. And on it in Roman numerals? Yeah. Well, what are the words?

Unknown Speaker 8:33
I don’t know. It’s it’s a date. Oh, it’s

Bob Smith 8:35
there is a date. So I’m right. July 4 1776.

Marcia Smith 8:39
July 4 1776. It’s the only words written on the statue itself on the pedestal is a great and famous poem by Emma Lazarus. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Yes. And that’s on a plaque mounted on the pedestal. Okay. All

Bob Smith 8:56
right, Marsha. There’s a certain term we use today about a change a moment of change, should it like pivot but it’s not pivot? Okay. And it originally had racist origins. What is the term? I don’t know. Tipping Point. Ah, yeah, tipping point. It describes the critical point when a change that had been a possibility now becomes inevitable, okay. And when it was popularized, according to Merriam Webster, it was applying to one phenomenon in particular white flight for the suburbs. That’s where that originally came from. In the 50s. As early as white people abandoned urban areas for the suburbs, journalists began using the phrase tipping point in relation to the percentage of minority neighbors it took to trigger that reaction among white city residents. Now that phrase wasn’t coined in the 1950s. It first appeared in the 19th century, but it has racist origins in its first major use. I didn’t know that. But people say oh, that’s the tipping point.

Marcia Smith 9:52
Yeah, that’s when things change hands from there. That’s the origin. Okay. Easter Island. You know about that. It’s those giant hand carved statues. Stone As the heads Yes, yes, they’re called Moya mo AI. They were made around 700 to 800 CE, and they’re 13 feet tall and 14 tons each well. So here’s my question. How many are there on Easter Island?

Bob Smith 10:14
Well, I think there are a lot more than they thought. I think they found the quarry where they came from an another location, I believe, and they’re lot taller than they thought they were they Well, they’re 13 feet tall and well from the ground, but you could dig down farther and they’re sculpted in the shoulders are sculpted, I’m not privy to that information. Well, according to my archaeological sources. Okay, so the question was, how many are there? 13 1000

Marcia Smith 10:39
Wow, 14 tons each Bob

Bob Smith 10:43
bigger than any of my creations.

Marcia Smith 10:47
Well, honey, your your little claymation thing made with Plato. was stunning. It looked cute. It was

Bob Smith 10:54
cheese. Isn’t that amazing? And yeah, there’s still a lot of mystery about that. There’s so much mystery of going way back and to be off this island. It’s isolated. Yeah, yeah.

Marcia Smith 11:04
How did they do that? Go ahead. But

Bob Smith 11:06
you and I have often wondered about the sport of curling. It’s like, is that really a sport? You know, we always look at that. But what town is the curling capital of America? I’ll give you some choices. Missoula, Montana, Burlington, Vermont, Bemidji, Minnesota or Traverse City, Michigan? Ah, Montana. No, it’s Bemidji, Minnesota. Yeah, they’re the curling capital of America and they have the metals to prove it the Olympic metals how curlers from Bemidji when metals are both the 2006 than 2018 Winter Olympics. Located in northern Minnesota the town is home to only about 15,000 people. But the Bemidji curling club has attracted 1000s More when it hosts national championship competitions.

Marcia Smith 11:49
I’ve been to Bemidji, haven’t I. Remember that? Yeah, yeah. It’s very, very woody up there. And beautiful. Yes. Okay. My singing husband. What did you mean me? What is the rarest of all voice types? You are what a baritone,

Bob Smith 12:05
baritone or bass. Okay. Yeah. What’s the rarest? Yeah. Ah, there is a voice that goes way up high in the registers. I don’t know what it’s called.

Marcia Smith 12:14
The rarest voice type is a countertenor? It’s a male singer who can sing as high as a soprano or a mezzo soprano. Wow. It’s the most rare of all the voices. So every so often you hear a guy who can really take it up to the top matches. That’s called a countertenor. Never heard of that before. Try Bob. Go ahead. No, come on. You can do

Bob Smith 12:38
it. I can’t get up there. What is the main source of the Mississippi River Marcia another geography question. From is it Lake Superior? Is it Lake Minnetonka? Is it Lake Itasca or lake vermilion

Marcia Smith 12:52
superior? No, of course not. No, it is. I said it with such conviction is Lake Itasca.

Bob Smith 12:58
Okay. Although the Mississippi flows 2348 miles to the Gulf of Mexico and stretches 11 miles across at its highest with Wow. It begins as a tiny stream stemming from northern Minnesota. Lake Itasca. It’s a 1.8 square mile glacial lake in Itasca State Park. What state is that? It’s in Minnesota. Okay. Although the Mississippi actually starts out in Montana as the Missouri

Marcia Smith 13:24
River Yeah. And goes all the way to New Orleans. Yeah,

Bob Smith 13:26
it’s amazing. Time to take a break. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob

Marcia Smith 13:30
and Marsha Smith.

Bob Smith 13:32
Just say your name Marcia. Never Bob. We’ll be back in just a moment. I’m Bob. No, you’re not all right.

Marcia Smith 13:39
Okay, we’re back.

Unknown Speaker 13:42
Not yet.

Bob Smith 13:45
Okay, we’re back. You’re listening to the podcast dedicated to insatiable curiosity and lifelong learning. It’s not okay. It’s

Marcia Smith 13:54
too much.

Bob Smith 13:55
All right. I have a question for you What gender was responsible for the first alcoholic beverages?

Marcia Smith 14:01
Well, I have a feeling it’s not the obvious. So I’ll say women,

Bob Smith 14:05
it is women. And there’s a really good explanation for that. For millennia. Fermented drinks were considered food. I never thought of that. Think of beer as liquid bread, Marsha, okay, okay. Because beer was considered food. It was first made in homes by women and women were the primary beer makers going all the way back to the ancient Sumerian civilization. And in the code of Hammurabi, there are no male tavern owners or brewers the text always refers to she so women were known as the brewers. They were they were chefs cooks and brewers to be named. And even the Sumerian god of beer was a goddess. Sumerian god of beer. Yeah. And then apparently, for most of the next 2000 years across the world, women brewed alcohol out of their homes using honey grains, flowers and herbs before the year of 1500. Most English women knew how to brew it ale Some women even started ale houses hanging what they call eel steaks on their homes to indicate that a drink was available inside. But that backfired because when women began selling ale writers and religious authorities began to criticize ale wives as cheats and temptresses of temptresses. And then after millions of people died in the plague for some reason brewing shifted demand and became an industrialized, mass produced product that is don’t know. But apparently Saki had a similar trajectory in Japan made at first by women later primarily by men.

Marcia Smith 15:32
I have a few girlfriends who make their own beer. Okay, so the tradition continues. Okay, can you give me an estimate of the population in the Arctic Circle?

Bob Smith 15:47
I would assume that as a small population, I’ll say under 1000 people,

Marcia Smith 15:51
That’s a good guess. Okay. That’s over 4 million. What? Yeah, doesn’t that blow your way? The Arctic Circle incorporates portions of eight countries Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Finland, Russia, Sweden and the United States. And despite the harsh climate, and often in hospitable living conditions, there are still 4 million people who live and work there year round.

Bob Smith 16:15
That’s amazing. I didn’t know there were that many were that many countries had no parts of their territory in the Arctic Circle.

Marcia Smith 16:22
And there’s indigenous people. There are 40 different ethnic groups there. The Inuit Sami, you pick peoples out that account for 10% of the regional population, and they maintain traditional culture like fishing, reindeer herding and hunting activities.

Bob Smith 16:41
Oh, reindeer herding. I’ve got something that relates.

Marcia Smith 16:44
They’ve been there. They’ve been there for 1000s of years and are still there.

Bob Smith 16:48
Okay, Marcia, speaking of reindeer, where does the word parka come from?

Marcia Smith 16:54
parka parka over here, um, reindeer? Well, you said it has something to do with reindeer. I don’t know parka

Bob Smith 17:02
comes from an Inuit word. You mentioned the Inuits the Eskimos, but they got it from the Russians, who were the first people to settle Alaska from a European extraction. Okay, so when they came there, they had a word that they used parka was a word that meant skin coat, animal skins, in what language from a Russian native language check parka. And a lot of times it was reindeer coats. Oh, that makes sense. Reindeer pelts you know, and they would pull them over we think of a parka. Something you pull over with a hood. Well, you’d pull them over your head. And you had a nice winter coat. That was what parka was, but of course today we it’s usually a lighter jacket for

Marcia Smith 17:41
winters, Land’s End.

Bob Smith 17:45
Or Eddie Bauer, something

Marcia Smith 17:46
like that. Okay, well, that’s make sense actually. And those look, when you see the old movies, you know, Kevin Costner or whatever, and they’re wearing these huge animal skins over their body. I think well, that had to be warm. Think of how you survived. How

Bob Smith 18:00
they smelled. If they got wet or something. You know? Yeah, let’s

Marcia Smith 18:03
not okay, Bob. Tell me. What is air horse one? Air horse wire horse

Bob Smith 18:12
one. Yeah. So what is this the President’s plane for horses I haven’t heard about.

Marcia Smith 18:19
Makes sense, doesn’t it? Yeah. But there is not a presidential plane but there is a plane dedicated for transporting horses called Air horse one. And it’s owned and operated by Tex Sutton equine air transportation. What air transportation. It’s a Boeing 727 2000 cargo airlift used for racehorses show horses and other VIP clients. These cars you know, these 1000 pound beauties have to travel somehow. Not all of them go in trailers. Yeah. And it’s not cheap, round trip. 10,000 bucks.

Bob Smith 18:55
And do they actually get a seat because horses don’t usually sit? Yeah, no, I

Marcia Smith 18:59
don’t know. Well, do they get free peanuts? That’s

Bob Smith 19:03
Oh, that is a question.

Marcia Smith 19:05
I don’t know.

Bob Smith 19:05
This reminds me of that story we did last year on the how they got the horses to the Tokyo Olympics. And it was the same thing. They FedEx flew them in big. Wow. Cargo ships cargo cargo plane.

Marcia Smith 19:16
I imagine they had to anchor them down. And oh, that must have been terrifying. If you’re a horse, don’t you think?

Bob Smith 19:22
Yeah. And they had stalls and everything and you know, but I mean, did they? Yeah, they had people on board for each horse. Keep them calm. Yeah, exactly. Okay. Your horse one. Yeah, I liked the name. Horse one. Okay. I have a question for you. We’re talking about Coach stewardess on that. Marcia. They’re called flight attendants. Now. I’m sorry. I misspoke. Shame on you. Go ahead. Okay, how did a near death experience lead to light winter outerwear? The puffy coat? The quilted puffy coat we all know about what was the first part of that question. How do they near death? Experience lead to that. The person who invented it Yeah, well did they because they had a near death experience. Well,

Marcia Smith 20:08
did they fall down mountain skiing or something? And it wasn’t thick enough to bounce off the rock so they put air in their coat and no you judging from the terrible face you’re making at me. All right, tell me

Bob Smith 20:22
Okay. Now human beings have known that goose down had insulating properties for centuries, but it took a near death experience a new design and a great marketing campaign to popularize the puffy quilted jackets we all know and love and who can we say did that? Eddie Bauer, the real Eddie Bauer? Yeah, he was a hunter fisherman named Eddie Bauer. He ran a Seattle based sporting goods shop, he got hypothermia and nearly died during a 1936 steelhead fishing trip in the Pacific Northwest. And when he returned to Seattle, he remembered stories that his Russian uncle told him about the downfield winter coats that Russian soldiers used to wear in the Russia Japanese war back in 1905. So he designed a lightweight downfield jacket with those diamond shaped quilted compartments. So that kept the down from falling to the bottom of the jacket. And he called it the sky liner and he patented it in 1940, just in time for World War Two. So he began it for advertising and in Field and Stream American rifleman and all those magazines and then World War Two, the government contracted with Eddie Bauer to make flight suits and sleeping bags. For us

Marcia Smith 21:27
service people made a fortune and a useful product the B nine

Bob Smith 21:31
flight suit down insulated flying jacket with downfield pants designed to keep aviators warm for up to three days and minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures. Anyway, each one of those jackets that he made for the US government had a tag inside said Eddie Bauer is Seattle, USA, which gave him a brand name and future customer bases with the ex Gi is after the war. Good marketing. They still they still sell that model, the 1936 guyliner model down jacket still available through the Eddie Bauer original slide. Interesting.

Marcia Smith 22:06
Yes, it is. That’s how it happened. Okay, Bob, what percentage of objects in its collection does the Smithsonian that’s named after you? I think Smithsonian Institute exhibit how much of their exhibit? There’s

Bob Smith 22:20
probably like most museums that they only show maybe 25% of what they have, because they keep it all in warehouses keep circulating? Yeah, sure. I’ll say 20% of their collection is on view at any given time. That’s a

Marcia Smith 22:34
good guess. But you’d be surprised to know it’s less than 1%. Wow, isn’t that something? There are 155 million objects in the Smithsonian collections. And at any one time, they can only show less than 1% God and you know how big those buildings are? And how many there

Bob Smith 22:53
are? Yes. So it takes days to go through each one. You think

Marcia Smith 22:57
they’ll want the our off ramp sign?

Bob Smith 22:59
I don’t think so. Okay. But you talked about the Smithsonian Institution. Okay. Well, what famous American inventors were snubbed by the Smithsonian. And as a result, the Science Museum of London acquired their invention for display. These were famous inventors. The Smithsonian said no, no, we’re not interested. I don’t know. The Wright brothers.

Marcia Smith 23:23
Oh, come on. This is it didn’t take the Wright brothers. Isn’t that

Bob Smith 23:27
interesting? Now most people our age and younger wouldn’t know about that because it happened before we were born. But the Smithsonian would not acknowledge that the rights had built the first man made heavier than air machine capable of powered flight because they had sponsored another aviator. So the Wrights they sent their first airplane to the Science Museum of London, where it remained until the Smithsonian admitted its mistake and offered to house the craft. And that’s how they got it back

Marcia Smith 23:56
such pomposity. It

Bob Smith 23:57
is really isn’t that amazing that they wouldn’t do that. They wouldn’t say no, we were wrong. Give us your plane. They finally did that.

Marcia Smith 24:06
Wow. That is stupid. And it has no foresight to to that just

Bob Smith 24:11
doesn’t say much about the Smithsonian management at the time.

Marcia Smith 24:15
All right, so here’s some useless things you should know. Oh, good. Like how many punctuation marks do you think are in the English language? Take a guess. Quick, quick. How many?

Speaker 1 24:24
I don’t know. I don’t know. 2014. Oh, really?

Bob Smith 24:29
Well, I was close. Sales close.

Marcia Smith 24:31
How heavy is the world’s largest pastry Bob?

Unknown Speaker 24:34
What is that? How

Bob Smith 24:36
heavy is the Well, it’d be a cake right? Are we talking?

Marcia Smith 24:39
It says pastry. Okay, 200 pounds 660 cheese.

Bob Smith 24:42
I’m just not doing well on this category. Am I last one?

Marcia Smith 24:46
How many? Thank God he says things you should know. Okay. And lastly, how many beaches are there in Israel?

Bob Smith 24:54
Israel’s got a great tourist industry. So I would say there’s probably maybe 50

Marcia Smith 24:59
Really? You Yeah, they are 137 Beach.

Bob Smith 25:03
Wow, that’s amazing. Yeah, that’s a small strip of land to have how many 130 737 beaches? Geez, political. I have political question. Lyndon Johnson. He was a flamboyant campaigner. Yes. Even when he was running for Congress, he had a habit of tossing his big Stetson hat out into the crowds at political rallies. But he always got it back. How

Marcia Smith 25:27
was there a string on it, though,

Bob Smith 25:29
he always paid a little boy $1 in advance to retrieve it. Oh, that’s fine. The hat itself was worth $25. And he did want to lose it. So And

Marcia Smith 25:37
besides cowboy hats, I mean, a lot to southern people are cowboys or pretend cowboys, whatever. But hats are very special. Well, they’re very

Bob Smith 25:47
personal things. And you know, it was like a trademark for him to have this big Stetson hats. I want to get my hat back. So my Stetson hired a little boy to always go out there and he probably have to beg some people to give it back to him. They probably thought, well, he’s a cute little boy, you can have the hat. Yeah, it goes back to Linda and it gives it to be done. Okay, education question now. Okay. Who was the only US president who had a PhD? Okay,

Marcia Smith 26:10
let me guess. Let me guess was probably, was he not one of our best presidents? Well,

Bob Smith 26:16
I think it’s controversial. He was, uh, was at Woodrow Wilson, Woodrow Wilson. Yeah. Woodrow Wilson, who saw America through World War One and had the idea for the League of Nations, which was basically the idea that became the United Nations. 30 years later. Okay,

Marcia Smith 26:30
Bob, I’m going to finish up with a quote today from Dolly Parton, who is now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yes, yes. Okay. And she says, The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.

Bob Smith 26:46
All right. Well, that’s it for this week. We hope you’ve enjoyed our little bit of trivia and knowledge. And we are dedicated to lifelong learning.

Marcia Smith 26:57
What’s matter? Nothing gear.

Bob Smith 26:58
Well, how long have you lived? It’s been a long life so far. Sure. Well, and you’ve been learning all that time. Yeah. So it’s lifelong learning. Okay. You’re an example of lifelong learning.

Marcia Smith 27:08
An example where I like that. Let’s move on.

Bob Smith 27:10
I’m Bob Smith. I’m

Marcia Smith 27:11
Marcia Smith. Join us

Bob Smith 27:12
again when we return next week with more tantalizing trivia and fascinating facts. On the off ramp. Too much.

Unknown Speaker 27:23
Okay, too much. Okay.

Bob Smith 27:26
The off ramp is produced in association with CPL Radio Online, and the Cedarbrook Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
