Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy. Take a side road to Saturday and get some perspective with some fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. Okay, Marcia. armed to the teeth, you’ve heard that expression, I

Marcia Smith 0:45
would say it’s from one of the big wars of big tours, big time or big 10 it was if the soldiers had everything they needed on them to kill people, grenades, rifles, knives, whatever, and they right up to their miles they had they were armed. Actually,

Bob Smith 1:03
it’s much more descriptive and accurate than that. armed to the teeth they believe comes from 17th century pirates who wanted to make sure they never ran out of ammunition. They would held a gun in each hand, but another gun in their pocket, and then they had a knife in their teeth. armed to the teeth.

Marcia Smith 1:21
We see that in movies don’t wait. Yes. So it means being overly prepared. What’s wrong with that? You can’t really have a chat with your enemy or I know you can’t see your knife would fall. Time for talking is no detente going. Okay. All right, Bob. Where are what is the largest religious structure in the world?

Bob Smith 1:41
I thought it was the Vatican, but I think it’s Mecca, isn’t it? Isn’t it? Were not the Muslim Mecca. No, not the Vatican? No, no, really? Okay. What is it? Okay, I’ll

Marcia Smith 1:52

largest structure in the world. It just structure in the largest structure in the Oh, it’s Angor Wat

Marcia Smith 2:03

And it’s spread across more than 400 acres Bob anger. Whop is said to be the largest religious structure in the world. And those pictures that Chelsea sent back were pretty amazing. I

Bob Smith 2:28
always wanted to visit there myself. Yeah, it

Marcia Smith 2:30
looks unlike anything else. It was kind of hard to get to for

Bob Smith 2:33
years and years, but now there are hotels around it and everything else.

Marcia Smith 2:38
Very cheap.

Bob Smith 2:39
Okay, Marsha. I have a high culture trivia question. Okay, high culture after 16 seasons on stage this performer just retired from the Metropolitan Opera. Do you have an idea who it was it a guy or girl it is a guy? Sir Gabriel ever heard of Sir Gabriel?

Marcia Smith 2:57
No.

Bob Smith 2:59
This is one of those fun stories you see every once in a while sir Gabriel was a donkey. The donkey that has pulled a wagon across the stage in labo em for 16 years

Marcia Smith 3:10
really? 60 Yes and labu aim was

Bob Smith 3:13
one of the assets and labu it’s not easy to be an opera donkey, they call them because there are 250 actors on stage in the scene. They’re involved in what music is playing 250 people are singing they’re adults. There are children and there’s another animal to a horse pulling a handsome cab so an opera donkey has to be confident unafraid and ready to perform. And Sir Gabriel perform so well. He was beloved by actors and stage hands alike. He has just been replaced by a donkey named Wanda. Who is in the prime of her life age 15 Donkeys can lift be his oldest 35 So how does this work? live animals on stage?

Marcia Smith 3:54
I don’t know. But he just roam around the stage doing donkey things? No, there

Bob Smith 3:57
was specific things he had to do. But every night wonder this is the new one arrives for her performance in a trailer either from Wallkill, New York or from the Bronx. She stays in the Bronx when she has a steady gig and I don’t know what her hotels like. She’s taken out of the trailer and led to what’s called the horse door. It’s a large Street entrance at the Metropolitan Opera and from there she heads inside walking through a labyrinth of hallways past costumers and cast lockers and stage hands her trainer and three men carry buckets and shovels in case of an accident. And then they lead Wanda and her horse co star to waiting places backstage and then that’s where they’re hitched to their wagons. One does has a colorful cart carrying toys in which a peddler distributes to child actors on stage. And then somebody else donkey coming down and then everybody spreads donkey down and comes the donkey comes through out onto the stage and there’s music playing and people there and everything and children and all this candy. And then as soon as it’s over, Wanda goes Process stage into the wings on the other side she’s unclipped on dressed on hardest and goes out the other horse door. But first there’s a treat there’s hate time outside they have hate. She always gets treats and that’s how it’s done. Last for Sir Gabriel. He retired to a Maryland farm and that is not a euphemism. He will enjoy life as a companion donkey to a mayor who recently lost her partner.

Marcia Smith 5:23
Oh, he’s a companion donkey. Isn’t that interesting? Senior Living for donkey donkey actors. Yeah. And the asset niche market for sure. It really is.

Bob Smith 5:33
So is the talent agency all team animal that’s an agency that furnishes everything from hissing cockroaches, lion cubs and other animals to film fashion and theatre producers. But sir Gabriel, the donkey and the LeBeau am at the Metropolitan Opera. Happy return. Good. All right. I’ve got some more expressions here barking up the wrong tree. Where does that come from? A hiking up the wrong tree. Marcia, this is something you do frequently? No, no, I’m just kidding. Now

Marcia Smith 6:02
well, is this have anything to do with dogs? Yes, it does. All right. Why would they be barking up a tree? Well, at a bird or something? Why would they be doing that? Because they want to eat it.

Bob Smith 6:14
All right, it is from hunting. It’s the use of hunting dogs, they would bark up the tree into which they saw their prey run or fly. And even if the prey had somehow escaped to a different tree, the dogs might still continue barking at the wrong tree. Because that’s the last place they saw that squirrel go.

Marcia Smith 6:30
Yeah. Okay. Well, that makes sense. Yeah. Well, here I want you to answer this as you remember it from last week. What what does it mean to say cost an arm and a leg? We were at a museum last Sunday.

Bob Smith 6:43
That’s right at the stagecoach in Yes. And it was a very interesting museum where the the they actually have a stagecoach in that was preserved from the 1840s. And we learned a few things about those that were interesting. But this first case here, yes, the arm and a leg. We thought that dealt with itinerant portrait painters.

Marcia Smith 7:01
That’s what the docent was telling us.

Bob Smith 7:05
People used to have their children’s portraits painted and the itinerant painters would come with a wagon loaded with scenes with everything but the head on this little darling pictures of children. And if you wanted an arm and a leg, it cost you extra. Yes, it cost you an arm and a leg. Well for that painting. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 7:22
so I thought that was a curious story. So I had to double check that story before I brought it to the throngs of our listeners. Right. Now. It’s considered a tall tale. Hmm. And it, it referenced that exact story about how you know the limbs cost more on a painting, but that’s not true. Actually, it was after the American Civil War, Congress enacted a special pension for soldiers who had lost both an arm and a leg, okay. And the phrase costs an arm and a leg begins to crop up in newspaper archives in 1901, referring to accidents and war injuries.

Bob Smith 7:58
So it was probably an insurance term then, basically, actually, a lot of the old insurance policies and maybe some of the current ones do they refer to loss of limbs, but they’re specific to arms or legs? Yeah.

Marcia Smith 8:09
Can I do one more word origin? What’s the origin of the phrase big wig?

Bob Smith 8:13
big wig? Oh, I think that’s from the from England and was from the great High Lords on the courts. They had these big wigs they wore so if you were a big wig, you are an important person.

Marcia Smith 8:25
Yeah, it’s sort of right but more than Lord’s wore them. Okay, going back a little bit here in 18th century, the English based even less than twice a year.

Bob Smith 8:37
Not just the English it was all it even all of royalty baby the tiredly

Marcia Smith 8:41
they took sponge bath but powder all over themselves. Powder and herbs are nice smelling oils. Those who could afford to take the cure at a mineral spot or seaside retreat might have a full body plunge into a mineral spa or something. But folks kept clean with sponge baths. Most men kept their hair real close cropped to fit under their wigs because it wasn’t just judges, a lot of guys wore wigs around town. And the big shots had big fancy puffy wigs. So if you had money, you were called

Bob Smith 9:13
up. Because you had a big wig. Yeah. All right, Marcia. This is a nation within a nation. It’s 270,000 people. It’s 27,000 square miles of territory is larger than 10 of the 50 US states. What is this nation within a nation?

Marcia Smith 9:31
Is that the Vatican City? No.

Bob Smith 9:34
That’s a small nation. That’s a very tiny place. Yeah. This is a nation whose territory is larger than 10 of the 50. United States. Oh,

Marcia Smith 9:43
here’s your clue. Okay.

Bob Smith 9:45
It’s within the United States. Oh,

Marcia Smith 9:47
what is the nation within a nation? It’s not Washington, DC.

Bob Smith 9:50
It’s the Navajo Nation. Of course. Can you believe that? That’s huge. It extends into the states of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico covering 20 He’s 7000 square miles. So it’s larger than 10 of the 50 States of America. And it is really a nation. It has its own government, as do all of the Indian tribes. So I’ve got a couple more questions on Indian tribes coming up. But do you remember the Navajo talkers ever heard about this? Yeah.

Marcia Smith 10:17
What was that all about? Well, that was World War Two, right. And they gave the code in Navajo language and it couldn’t be broken by the by our enemies because they couldn’t figure it

Bob Smith 10:30
out. That’s right. That’s right. Major Howard O’Connor of the fifth Marine Division after Iwo Jima said, if it wasn’t for the Navajo is the Marines would never have taken Iwo Jima. He had six Navajo Code Talkers working around the clock. During the first two days of battle, the six people sent and received over 800 messages all without error all Unbroken by the Japanese. And apparently there were 400 Navajos trained as Code Talkers during the war. The first 29 Navajo recruits attended boot camp and then at Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California, they created the Navajo code, they specifically created a dictionary and all the code words had to be memorized during training. And they could encode transmit and decode a three line English message in 20 seconds. Now machines at the time required 30 minutes to perform the same job they could do manually. Just amazing. So they took part in every assault it the US Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to

Marcia Smith 11:30
45. So meaning they were on the scene. They were there.

Bob Smith 11:33
Okay, they served in all six Marine divisions. Wow,

Marcia Smith 11:36
isn’t that something and so they were on the ground where they had boats and stuff. They

Bob Smith 11:40
were on the boats everywhere. They transmitted messages by telephone and radio in their native language. Again, the code that the Japanese never broke, and they were honored for their contributions to defense in 1992 at the Pentagon,

Marcia Smith 11:53
I always love that story. Okay, Bob, what are the most visited tourist spots in the United States? I got the top three here can you guess any?

Bob Smith 12:01
I think Yellowstone National Park was number one. Yeah, no. Okay. The top three in the United States and no, are they are the National Parks are not? No.

Marcia Smith 12:10
Okay. That surprised me. Grand Canyon was number 22. Hmm. So

Bob Smith 12:17
see Rock City was rock city. See three states? 10 states from Rock City,

Marcia Smith 12:21
whatever it was? No. Okay. What were they? Well, number one is Time Square. 50 million visitors considered

Bob Smith 12:26
a tourist attraction? Yeah, I never thought of it that way either.

Marcia Smith 12:30
And two and three were both 42 million visitors per year is another New York Central Park. Okay. And Las Vegas Strip.

Bob Smith 12:39
42 million people go to Central Park a year and it’s still a beautiful park. Yeah, it’s amazing. Isn’t when you think of it. So those are the three times the Las Vegas Strip. Yeah. 42 million people visit the Las Vegas Strip every

Marcia Smith 12:51
year. Yeah, tourists biggest tourist spots in the United States. Well, I never thought those three would tie the tie but the guests one of the beautiful sights, but no.

Bob Smith 13:00
Okay, Marcia, in which state does the Missouri River originate? Little geography question. It’s called the Missouri River. But where does it begin? And 1010 1010 1010 Okay, does it originate in Missouri, Montana, Oregon or Wyoming?

Marcia Smith 13:17
Thank you, Bob. I’ll say Wyoming. It’s in Montana. Okay.

Bob Smith 13:21
The river’s headwaters are at the confluence of the Madison, Jefferson and Gallatin rivers near the town of three forks, Montana. The Missouri is the second longest river in the United States and it feeds into the Mississippi. Okay, which is of course, the biggest The first of course,

Marcia Smith 13:36
of course,

Bob Smith 13:37
where does the Missouri meet the Mississippi Marsh?

Marcia Smith 13:39
Well, I can tell you that someday.

Bob Smith 13:42
I don’t know. Just north of St. Louis. Okay.

Marcia Smith 13:45
Where is the driest place on Earth? The driest

Bob Smith 13:49
place on Earth? Well, let’s see. Death Valley was supposed to be the driest place in North America. I

Marcia Smith 13:56
think that’s the hottest. Okay, well, maybe the

Bob Smith 13:59
driest and the hottest. Would it be the Dead Sea? No. Or is it somewhere in someplace like China? No, but desert in China? No. Okay, where is it? Do they have a hint? You always want hints and you never give me any? Well,

Marcia Smith 14:15
yes, I know. But not this time now. The driest place on Earth. There are a series of valleys near Ross Island in Antarctica, where no rain has fallen for at least 2 million years. Wow. Yep. It’s so cold. 70 degrees below zero is the average. There’s no precipitation up there that they can tell for 2 million years. Things might change though. A few months ago. Bob in one part of Antarctica, the temperature hit 70 degrees. Yeah, never seen before. The warm spell resulted in the collapse of an ice shelf for the first time in human history. Oh my god, that was just a few months ago. Whoa, that’s scary stuff, huh? Yes.

Bob Smith 14:56
All right, Marsha, before we go to break, I have a little statistic You’ll find it interesting. In this web age, this internet age, we’ve seen so many hundreds of companies be formed, and many fail over the past, I’d say 20 years or so. Has there ever been a time in history where there were that many companies that were forming? I

Marcia Smith 15:15
would say, turn of the century 1900s. The Industrial Revolution in

Bob Smith 15:20
particular technology,

Marcia Smith 15:21
I don’t know, telephones,

Bob Smith 15:23
from 1894 to 1903, an estimated 20,000 telephone companies were started in the United States alone. Isn’t that amazing? When was that from 1894 to 1903 20,000 telephone companies were started in the United I guess

Marcia Smith 15:42
a timeframe right. Only Yeah, get the you know, specific.

Bob Smith 15:46
It’s amazing. That comes from Forbes magazine. So

Marcia Smith 15:49
almost every city had their own telephone company, not a little telephone companies,

Bob Smith 15:53
and then they were all consolidated into bigger wins. Wow. All right. Looks like it’s time to take a break. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob

Unknown Speaker 15:59
and Marsha Smith. We’ll

Bob Smith 16:01
be back with more in just a moment. We’re back again. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. Marsha. I have a question for you and all recorded history. What artist has the most streamed music? We’re talking about music streaming and streaming services? Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift good guests. But no, it is a contemporary artist. Is it?

Marcia Smith 16:23
Is he a black fellow and African American guy?

Bob Smith 16:27
His father is African American. His mother wasn’t at Drake. That’s exactly right. Yeah, Drake. This is fascinating. In 2021 His catalog out streamed all music released before 1980. So all music, including the Beatles, Elvis and other more famous stars.

Marcia Smith 16:47
I know he’s really popular and he sounds good too. Okay. All right, Bob. I made you watch father of the bride from 1950 Last night. But you made it halfway through I think before you bail.

Bob Smith 16:59
I fell asleep Marsh. Let’s just be honest about it. I fell asleep. Spencer Tracy was doing his best but I fell asleep. Yeah. Elizabeth

Marcia Smith 17:06
Taylor was the bride John Bennett. Anyway, so here’s the question. How many versions of the movie father of the bride are there? I

Bob Smith 17:15
know of three for sure. Uh huh. There was that one. There was the one with Steve Martin. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 17:21
And then I forget the other one. Now is more. Okay, how many are there? six, and six, six, and seven if you include another one that is still in development. And the sixth one is a 2022 film with Andy Garcia and glory Esteban? Wow, it’s all based on a book of the same name by author Edward Streeter. It’s about an out of control, expensive wedding and a father of the bride trying to cope with it. So unlike real life, but six, and about to be seven versions is hard to believe it is, but it’s certainly a timeless topic, isn’t it? It is. And every year, it’s more expensive. Well, the wedding back in 50. That was out of control was $5,000. With Spencer Tracy.

Bob Smith 18:05
Oh, is that right? Yeah. Oh, that’s funny. All right, Marsha, what country has the highest percentage of people with dementia? This also happens to be the country that has the largest aging population.

Marcia Smith 18:16
Wow, that goes hand in hand, huh? Who has the most dementia? It’s

Bob Smith 18:21
the country where 1/3 of the population is 65 or older.

Marcia Smith 18:25
Is it in Asia? Yes, it is. Is it China? No, it’s not China. You know.

Bob Smith 18:32
It was the country that was our biggest economic adversary in the 1960s 70s and 80s. Japan. Yeah, Japan, 1/3 of the country’s population is 65 or older, and one out of every five people over 65 lives alone. And many scientists are now linking Japan’s high rate of dementia to isolation. So with a rapidly declining population, that society faces many unique problems, including the possibility of pension shortfalls. There won’t be enough workers to pay for the pensions of the elderly. Well,

Marcia Smith 19:04
they’re worried about that here too. Yeah,

Bob Smith 19:06
there was a recent movie made there called plan 75. It imagines a future Japan where life ends voluntarily Oh, at age 75. voluntarily and 75. It’s like there’s a whole program to encourage people to commit suicide at 75 on the

Marcia Smith 19:22
flow. Oh my god, what a terrible idea

Bob Smith 19:26
number plan 75 Marsh just keep that in mind.

Marcia Smith 19:29
Save your money, baby. You’re not putting me down like a dog. All right, but can you name the four achievements Ernest Hemingway says are necessary to become a real man.

Bob Smith 19:43
The four achievements necessary to become a real man. Yes. No, I have no idea. Are they financial? Are they

Marcia Smith 19:48

Bob Smith 19:52
Well, I’m AF Amanda. Oh, I’m so sorry. I caused Marcia to go Once you have congestive heart failure here, well plan 75 I’ll let you get your composure. All right. All right.

Marcia Smith 20:09
Okay, my little half a man. Can you name the four? Can

Bob Smith 20:13
you give me any hints as to what these might be? Are these cultural things?

Marcia Smith 20:16
It’s a real mishmash. Well, actually, I now that I look at it, I think you’ve done three of the four. Okay, what are they? They are planning to tree, write a book. I’m just thinking of the story worth book you’re writing right now it’s your life but

Bob Smith 20:30
you and I both wrote some books for some companies. So know that too. And

Marcia Smith 20:33
have a son that’s three. Yes. And the fourth one is findable fungible? Yes. Ernie had some very specific ideas by

Bob Smith 20:44
having a daughter though. Yeah, well, that makes you a man to to have a daughter so

Marcia Smith 20:49
well, he was very much younger has had a lot of problems. He didn’t he was alcoholic and what were they at plant a tree, find a bow write a book and have a son. Okay, there you go. You’re more than half a man. And you’re three quarters so glad

Bob Smith 21:03
I’m more than half a man. Okay. Marcia city names Singapore. It’s named after what? Predator? Singapore.

Marcia Smith 21:10
It’s named after a predator. Yes, it

Bob Smith 21:13
comes from the Malay phrase singer Pura, which translates to? I don’t know, lie in the city. Really? Yeah. According to legend, Prince sang Nila utama chose the same after coming ashore and believing he saw a lion. So the lion head is the national symbol. And that’s what Singapore stands for. Is the Lion City. No, I

Marcia Smith 21:34
didn’t know that. Okay. All right. Sean Connery. Drone Connery. Okay.

Bob Smith 21:38
Double

Marcia Smith 21:39
oh seven. Always had to wear makeup on his arms while shooting James Bond. Did you know that

Bob Smith 21:44
know why that guy had so many problems. I mean, he was a young man. And he had to wear wigs because he was going bald. He’s going bald from the very beginning of the James Bond film. And now he had to wear makeup on his arm. So what did he have scars or something? That’s my question, Bob. Okay. Did he have scars or something?

Marcia Smith 22:01
Yeah, something. He had tattoos. And oh, and his tattoos declared his love for mom, dad and Scotland. Oh, I’ll be darned. And he represented that in the Mr. Universe contest in 1952. Yeah, no,

Bob Smith 22:17
that’s like a weightlifter a really attractive gentleman. Yeah, he’s

Marcia Smith 22:20
really not my kind of attractive. Okay, he didn’t plant a tree out pet. No, you didn’t

Bob Smith 22:25
plant a tree. So less than half a man. That’s right. Okay, Marcia, break the ice. Where does that expression come from? Like the ice? Yes. To make a group feel comfortable so as to cultivate friendship, or to stop a conflict between friends. Break the ice? Where did they think that came from? From

Marcia Smith 22:41
making cocktails in the 1950s? You put the ice the rocks in? And yes, give it a little crack and you’re breaking the ice to sit down and have a good time always

Bob Smith 22:51
drinks and food with you? What is that? No, that’s not it. Okay. I don’t know, during a time when roads were not fully developed ships were the main means of transportation and trade. And during the winter, ships might get stuck on ice that formed on, you know, lakes and other bodies of water. So the receiving country would send smaller ships and help the trade ships pass by breaking the ice for them. Okay, because they want to make sure goods and services were exchanged. Okay. Well, that makes sense. So that gesture came to mean an invitation of friendship between the sending and receiving countries will break this break the ice. Yeah. Well, that

Marcia Smith 23:23
makes sense. Yeah. Fascinating. It is fascinating Marsha, okay. Bob, according to Reader’s Digest recent issue named the best sandwich according to readers and their chefs in every state. So we live in Wisconsin. What is the number one sandwich in Wisconsin? All right.

Bob Smith 23:43
Well, let’s see. Number

Marcia Smith 23:45
one, it’s pretty obvious.

Bob Smith 23:47
Okay. Is it is it brought worse?

Marcia Smith 23:52
Yes, it’s the beer brought to be specific. Oh, it’s oiling brats in beer and onions before grilling it and it came to Milwaukee Braves game in 1954. And it’s still part of tailgates from here to Green Bay. Bratwurst have been around a lot longer than 1954 which I think was coming up on the World Series. But boiling it and beer and onions became a thing back then.

Bob Smith 24:16
It’s interesting that it took a professional baseball team to make that possible. It’s interesting, at

Marcia Smith 24:21
least the concession people that work there. Yeah. Alright.

Bob Smith 24:25
Marcia, back to the Native Americans. We had that question on the Navajos earlier. So then I thought, well, how many Indian tribes are there recognized? I mean, we’ve been a country for almost 250 years now. How many Indian tribes still exist within the United States? And this is the way I will ask the question how many federally recognized Indian nations are there in the United States? 12 No. 575 574 federally recognized Indian nations Approximately 229 of those are in one state. What state would that

Marcia Smith 25:04
be? Is it in the Midwest? No, it’s not. Is it in the southwest? No, it

Bob Smith 25:08
is not. Wow, it is in the Far North. Alaska. No kidding. Alaska. 229 of the 574 federally recognized nations are in Alaska, and the other tribes are located in 35 other states, and then how many total indigenous people are there today? What’s the population of those 574 tribes today?

Marcia Smith 25:31
Okay.

Bob Smith 25:32
Tell me, world population review estimates there were nearly 10 million indigenous people in North America. Before the European settlers came. In 2022, the US Census Bureau reported the total population of Native Americans in the United States is now 6.7 9 million. What states have the highest number of Native Americans? Tell me the top three? Okay,

Marcia Smith 25:53
I’ll say Wisconsin, Montana and New Mexico?

Bob Smith 25:58
No, none of those. The biggest state in the country has the highest number of Native Americans California. It has 757,628 Native American would you guess that? Oklahoma is second with 523,360 Native Americans. And Arizona is third with 391,001 State has the highest percentage of Native Americans. We go back up to Alaska 20% of their population. They have 145,816 people who are indigenous, you know, their Native Americans. What state has the lowest total of Native Americans?

Marcia Smith 26:35
Any state? Why? Oh, Montana?

Bob Smith 26:38
No, Vermont, Vermont has the lowest total number of Native Americans. 8169 and your port Native American. What were you what was your tribe? Chippewa,

Marcia Smith 26:48
we believe? Yes, Chippewa. Why did you go down some kind of census rabbit hole? Yeah, it’s kind

Bob Smith 26:54
of fun, you know, because you know, Native Americans are overlooked when we talk about America and our history so often. Fascinating.

Marcia Smith 27:01
All right, I’m going to finish up with a quote from a woman who I had her face on my T shirt once. It Susan B. Anthony, okay, a suffragette from the early 20th century. She said, Someone struggled for your right to vote, use it. Very

Bob Smith 27:18
