203 Startling Trivia

Bob Smith 0:00
In what country does royalty own? All the swans?

Marcia Smith 0:04
That swan? Okay, but if you’re a toy that could travel straight up in the air, how long would it take you to get into space?

Bob Smith 0:13
Ooh, that’s good answers to those and other questions coming up in this episode of the off ramp with Bob Marsha

Marcia Smith 0:19
Smith

Bob Smith 0:37
Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy. Take a side road to Saturday and get some perspective on life with fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. Well, Marcia in what country does royalty own all of the swans? Is it Monaco? Belgium Thank you UK or Liechtenstein?

Marcia Smith 0:59
I will say this didn’t Stein Liechtenstein Yeah. Which

Bob Smith 1:03
is not like it I

Marcia Smith 1:04
was just testing you. I say it is on a black

Bob Smith 1:07
belt Monica or Monaco is wrong. Okay.

Marcia Smith 1:11
I’ll say my second guest is UK.

Bob Smith 1:14
We finally got there. Yes, it’s the UK martial arts. I knew that as traveled trivia.com says as if royal palaces crown jewels and a number of overseas territories wasn’t enough. The queen or king of England also rules over all quote unmarked mute swans swimming in open waters mute mute. That bizarre law has been the law of the land in England since the 12th century. When swans were considered a delicacy for banquets and feasts to the royal family claimed ownership of all of us swans, they’re ours. Wow. So

Marcia Smith 1:51
Charlie can go out and pluck one out of the pond and throw it in the oven for dinner.

Bob Smith 1:55
That law limited the number that were hunted and had penalties for killing or harming a swan or even stealing a swan egg. Course today, people don’t eat swans, they’re protected species. But swans aren’t the only animals. The king or queen claims a similar law passed in the 1300s says the king or queen also owns the whales, porpoises and dolphins around England. Wow. That’s

Marcia Smith 2:18
big responsibility. It

Bob Smith 2:19
is a big responsibility. Hope

Marcia Smith 2:21
they take it seriously. Okay, Bob, one out of four people in this country on a Toyota. Did you know that Toyota Corolla to be specific?

Bob Smith 2:29
That’s a long way from when they were Japanese cars. And we don’t want those things

Marcia Smith 2:33
in America after the war. Yeah. Your father would go nuts at those Wente. Originally,

Bob Smith 2:37
yes. Well,

Marcia Smith 2:38
he was in the war.

Bob Smith 2:39
Yes. Well, my sister and her husband came home with one he was mute. He was mute like this one. He didn’t say anything. Oh, that’s

Marcia Smith 2:47
smart. Okay. All right. In our case, if our Subaru Bob could travel straight up in the air, how long would it take us to get to space?

Bob Smith 2:56
Well, the question I have is, would it take a Toyota less time or more time

Marcia Smith 3:00
the same time because they both can reach this speed? Okay,

Bob Smith 3:02
what speed is that? 60

Marcia Smith 3:05
miles per hour? Well,

Bob Smith 3:05
of course, they can reach that speed. So if you could only reach that speed, how long would it take you to get to the moon? No, to say, Oh, my goodness, I would take you a long time, wouldn’t it? a month?

Marcia Smith 3:18
I don’t know. One hour? What? Yeah,

Bob Smith 3:21
take you only an hour. Yes, that is amazing.

Marcia Smith 3:24
They stretches out in all directions, at least as far as we can tell, for some 46 billion light years. But it doesn’t take that long at all to get where it begins. In fact, if you had a car that could somehow travel skyward towards the Karman Line, you know what the common line is? It’s the barrier that marks the

Bob Smith 3:43
beginning of space. Okay, so that’s the atmosphere ends and that’s when space again so

Marcia Smith 3:48
you’d arrive there in little more than an hour. And that’s while cruising at a leisurely 60 miles per hour. Wow, I

Bob Smith 3:55
didn’t know that. Yeah, I thought of all these fighter pilots and everybody who took planes all the way up there to the atmosphere. Yeah, well, just an hour it’s only an hour away in outer space is only an hour away. Is it longer to Chicago than it is to outer space.

Marcia Smith 4:11
That’s another story by that’s another question.

Bob Smith 4:12
Okay. Wow, that’s interesting. Okay, all

Marcia Smith 4:17
right. Makes you think that it’s only a matter of time once they can make cars go vertical. Yeah, taking our Sunday drive to space

Bob Smith 4:23
or Sunday fly to space. Yeah. Hey, speaking of cars, what auto manufacturer introduced the world’s first stationwagon and when was it enforced for Okay, and when was it introduced?

Marcia Smith 4:36
Is that right? Yes, Marsh say gotta give me some credit. Yeah,

Bob Smith 4:39
I’m gonna give you credit when you get both of the answers to me that was the second part. What year was it that Ford introduced the first station wagon 1955

Marcia Smith 4:48
Wrong. None of those count now.

Bob Smith 4:51
Okay, you got the right thing it was Ford Motor. But they did that back in 1929. They equipped a Model A with a boxy wooden body that gave the vehicle extra storage space for cargo and past guests that well I do. Henry Ford was very innovative with his automobile. So he they came and they came up with the planes early on and did all kinds of things. So the first station wagon, we think of that as the precursor to today’s minivan there those kinds of things started in 1928. Okay, introduced in 1928.

Marcia Smith 5:24
What Bob what?

Bob Smith 5:25
Oh, don’t yell at me. Okay.

Marcia Smith 5:27
famous American luxury hotel as a hidden train station in the depths of its building.

Bob Smith 5:33
A famous luxury hotel. Yeah, has a train station in the depths of its building. Okay. Is it in New York City? Yes. Okay. Is that the what is that? Which one is that? I

Marcia Smith 5:46
think you know, this. They had a subway station in it, didn’t they? Yeah, still got it still got the train down not the Hilton Hotel. Now. What is it? I can’t think of it’s a good salad with lots of fruit in it.

Bob Smith 5:59
The Caesar hotel, the Waldorf Waldorf Hotel

Marcia Smith 6:04
Del Waldorf, his story is one of New York City’s most iconic luxury hotels, with many high profile galleries and celebrity guests, since it was built around 1930. It’s a popular destination for dignitaries, including many presidents of the United States, a few of whom took advantage of the hidden train station. In the depths below. The most famous user of the secret train was FDR, Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who escaped from the platform via his private train car in October 4419 44. So the public would see his wheelchair generals of the Army John Pershing and Douglas MacArthur both made use of it to and Andy Warhol somehow he shouldn’t be in that group was through a party down there. Apparently, it’s still available for visiting presidents wishing to make a speedy exit. Well,

Bob Smith 6:58
okay. It’s interesting. That was the only hotel they did that for you could have thought they would have done it for multiple hotels, you know? Okay. Hey, Marcia, what’s the only state with two rivers with the same name? There’s a state that has two rivers and they have the same name. Is it Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, or Ohio, Ohio. So Ohio has two rivers have the same name and what are they?

Marcia Smith 7:21
I don’t know. Ohio

Bob Smith 7:23
and Ohio. Wrong and wrong. No, it’s Florida. Oh, is

Marcia Smith 7:30
it Yeah,

Bob Smith 7:30
the withlacoochee River. That’s that’s the name of two separate rivers in the state of Florida. Once once in Central Florida, the others farther north. The central river is known as the crooked River. It originated in the Green Swamp. Now what does the name mean? Because that’s it’s a combined word in the creek language may mean Little Big River or river of lakes, sets. It originates in a swamp, it could be river of lakes, you know, comes from a lake. So that was the first one. The northern river originates in Georgia before flowing south into Florida, where it only flows about 1.34 miles before returning north. So there’s a there’s a very tiny little with look coochie. Okay, and the name again means crooked river or little river of big lakes.

Marcia Smith 8:17
You notice this always with these Indian names, a couple of versions of what it could mean. Yeah. Okay. It’s

Bob Smith 8:23
not just good enough to have one river with that name. We need to reverse with that name. Kuchera John? Yes. Oh, just another strange thing in the state of Florida.

Marcia Smith 8:32
What’s inside Bob, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, what’s inside that thing? It’s

Bob Smith 8:39
kind of a hollow thing with a stairway that goes up to the center of the spiral stairway, I believe. So I don’t know if there’s anything in the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Marcia Smith 8:47
So you’re saying it’s just an empty tower? Very good.

Bob Smith 8:51
Is it true,

Marcia Smith 8:51
it’s an empty tube, big empty tube, with no floors, no decoration, and no windows. Its original purpose was a bell tower. Oh, but the bells were eventually removed to help keep the tower stable. Tourists can walk up a spiral staircase along the towers walls for a viewing deck at the very top. But there is literally nothing inside to look at who knew that’s amazing. It was built in multiple stages between the 12th and 14th century. The first three stories were built before the foundation had settled into the soft ground and that’s why it leans got 100 years later, in an effort to crest valine five more stories were built on top of those already tilted stories and guess what? It kept leaning and made it worse did

Bob Smith 9:38
that who would have thought? Okay, this thing is leaning. Let’s build onto it. Yeah, this will help. Well, they

Marcia Smith 9:43
thought it would correct it. Come on. It’s enduring stability, despite its dramatic pitch has made it a major landmark popular with tourists

Bob Smith 9:52
and they still have to prop it up. They’re always doing things to keep it from keeping it. Yeah. How do they do? What did they do? Engineering fixes You know, I work around. Okay, when was that built

Marcia Smith 10:02
between the 12th and 14th? centuries? Yes.

Bob Smith 10:05
Big mistake.

Marcia Smith 10:07
Big mistake.

Bob Smith 10:08
Okay. What famous leader of ancient history reduced traffic congestion in his city by turning the downtown into a pedestrian mall? We think of that as a major thing back in the 70s have a lot of pedestrian malls you know? Yeah. Then everybody decided this kills off the traffic from the street you know, this is America. No, it’s not in America. This is an ancient history leader. Reduced traffic congestion in his city by turning the downtown someone like Roman. Someone like Roman Yes. And time someone in Roman times. They’re one of the Caesars

Marcia Smith 10:40
while the salad? No, no. I have Augustus No. His brother

Bob Smith 10:47
is Julius. Ah, Julius salad. No, Julius Caesar. Rome suffered much traffic congestion with chariots and we have vehicles of other sorts. That kidding. And finally the problem reached such a height during the reign of Julius Caesar. He banned all wheeled vehicles in Rome during the hours of daylight. No kidding. After night, you could bring him down but no, no, no running around down in chariots during the day. Come on. Take

Marcia Smith 11:15
the chariot around town. You know how long it takes me to get around. We can take

Bob Smith 11:19
it we can take it down tonight. But we can’t do it during the day is to drop you off on the edge of town.

Marcia Smith 11:23
Isn’t that an interesting visual? Yeah, funny. Yeah. People were probably

Bob Smith 11:26
dropping people off at a certain point and all sudden, they had to walk the rest of the way to

Marcia Smith 11:31
the local pub. God, okay, Bob, how big do you want to guess was the fictional town movie set of Bedford Falls in? It’s a Wonderful Life. Oh,

Bob Smith 11:43
how big was it in? How do I measure this in terms of what? acres acres? I’ll bet that’s a pretty small thing. And yeah, they shot it from all the angles. So you never saw the whole thing. You saw pieces and parts of it. And it seemed like it was huge. So I’ll say it was five acres.

Marcia Smith 12:00
It’s four. And that’s considered a really large set movie set. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Movie was mostly filmed at ArKaos movie ranch and Encino, California. The fictional town of Bedford Falls covered about four acres. The main street stretch three city blocks and the town itself contain dozens of buildings and even 20 full grown oak trees. Wow, they put a lot into they did put a lot into the buildings weren’t all newly constructed, though. Many of them had been used before in the 1931 Asker movie Cimarron.

Bob Smith 12:35
Oh no kidding.

Marcia Smith 12:36
They recycled some of those and then build some new ones put up some oak trees and there you have Bedford fall. Well,

Bob Smith 12:43
I have long said the movie business. The movie making business is one of the best recycling examples in industrial that’s

Marcia Smith 12:50
true. They are six ways to sun every so often you and I catch an old movies, hey, that was just in that new movie. They just put a different sign up front in that building.

Bob Smith 13:00
And I read an interview with Edith Head I read an interview with her the costume designer she was she took pride in the fact that there are all these dresses, she would design for people, they could use them in all these movies. If it was something that was used for like Loretta Young, or somebody in a recent film. They put it in the background when they used it for somebody else. So all kinds of costumes were done that way. They were always reused. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 13:21
And she won like two zillion Academy Awards. She’s won almost more Academy Awards, and most people is your family like mine. We all watch the Academy Awards, and we’d be sitting there with popcorn eyes laying on the floor. And the award goes to for Best Costume Design and the whole family would say it is head. Yes.

Bob Smith 13:38
Is that right? Yeah. Wow. She was even that well known here in your in your Milwaukee family? That’s

Marcia Smith 13:43
fascinating. Yes, it was fascinating. Bob. Shipwrecks the wait

Bob Smith 13:47
a minute Marsh. You remember when we stayed at the American club in cooler Wisconsin? That is a resort where every room is a famous American, named after a famous American and there are artifacts of that famous American there are pictures. I remember we stayed in the Edith Head room. Yes, that’s right. And there was a dress design on the wall and pretty cool.

Marcia Smith 14:07
It was very cool. All right. shipwrecks. Bob.

Bob Smith 14:09
No, we’re not talking shipwrecks. We’re gonna take a break. All right. We’re not talking. We’re taking a break right now.

Marcia Smith 14:18
Come back for shipwreck for me.

Bob Smith 14:20
Okay. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob Smith. We’ll be back in just a moment. We’re back. You’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marsha Smith. We do this every week for the Cedarburg Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin, and it’s internet radio station. We’re on the air every Monday night and then we go out over the internet on all of the podcast platforms all over

Marcia Smith 14:42
the world. Yeah,

Bob Smith 14:44
I trust you to say that. Okay, so shipwrecks we have questions on

Marcia Smith 14:48
it. Just a quickie. Okay. Two quickies on it. How many shipwrecks are estimated to be in our oceans want to take a guess?

Bob Smith 14:56
Oh, shipwrecks in the oceans. I was thinking just to the Great Lakes. I read say in the oceans, there must be 1000s or more. I don’t know. I mean, think of all the centuries. Yeah, it

Marcia Smith 15:05
is estimated that there are 3 million shipwrecks. Wow. That’s there are many, many, many more that have sunk from sight and public recollection. So they were going from known and public recollection to count all these things. And you know, the most notable ones that the average public knows is what the Titanic Yeah, right. And Queen Anne’s Revenge. What is that? Kind of diarrhea? What? Anyway, sorry, what area do you think has the most shipwrecks? Okay.

Bob Smith 15:38
Okay. I think the Mediterranean probably had a lot because the Roman era, there were probably a lot of shipwrecks that they found out

Marcia Smith 15:44
there. Now. Now. It’s what’s that famous triangle? Oh, the

Bob Smith 15:49
Bermuda Triangle? Yeah. Oh, more shipwrecks here than anywhere. Oh, Bermuda

Marcia Smith 15:52
measures less than 21 square miles. The combination of its location within trade routes and hazardous coral reefs has produced more than 300 shipwrecks off its coast. Wow. Just so more there than anywhere else. Yeah, in the world. It’s just a very small area where there’s more than any place

Bob Smith 16:12
I see. Okay. All right, Marcia. How old is Smokey Bear and in what mountain range was the real Smokey Bear rescued? I’ll give you choices. Okay. The Great Smoky Mountains, the capitan mountains, the Rocky Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains. So smarty pants which one is it?

Marcia Smith 16:33
Which one is wet again?

Bob Smith 16:35
You’d rather just play around in the background. Listen to what I’m saying. But what okay, how? Smokey Bear? Yeah. First, how old and in what mountain range? was the real Smokey Bear rescued? Great Smoky Mountains. Capitan mountains, rocky mountains or Blue Ridge Mountains.

Marcia Smith 16:51
Okay. I will tell you the Blue Ridge Mountains and he is what year for God’s sakes. I should know that I will say 1958.

Bob Smith 17:00
All right. You’re wrong on both counts, but you’re not too far back. 1950 was the year okay. And it was not in the Great Smoky Mountains or the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was in the capitan mountains. He was an orphaned cubs same from a forest fire in New Mexico’s Capitan mountain. No kidding. And he’s a senior citizen because it was 1950. So he’s a boomer. He died in 1976. But the interesting story is how did this come about? How did it become a big story? Yeah, there was a huge forest fire and fire crews were called to the scene of this spreading fire. One thing they were told was there’s a small bear wandering the area and they thought his mother he’ll find his mother. Yeah, just then the fire raged up and 30 firefighters were caught directly in the path of the fire. They survived by lying down on a rock slide for a whole hour as the fire pass through the area. When they woke up when they actually came back up for air. After an hour. They found the little bear still alive still up in that tree. The tree was totally charred. But he was up he was up there. But he had badly burned paws and hind legs. And they knew he was probably orphaned. So one of the firefighters took them home and then a New Mexico Department of Game and Fish Ranger heard about him. And he drove to the ranchers house and he put the cup on a plane to Santa Fe where they took care of that bear. And then they call the US Forest Service. And they said we would like to give you this bear if you would use it in a conservation and fire prevention program. A publicity program. Excellent thinking my man so that’s what happened. And then he was sent to the National Zoo in Washington DC. And he was nicknamed Smokey Bear NOT Smokey the Bear BUT Smokey Bear. And he receives so much mail he had to get his own zip code.

Marcia Smith 18:48
Oh, that’s so cool. Isn’t that neat? And so he lived for how many he

Bob Smith 18:53
lived for another 56 years after that activity. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 18:58
I hope he was happy you got to travel a lot. He

Bob Smith 19:01
was buried at the Smokey Bear Historical Park in Capitan New Mexico so they brought him back there when he died. I

Marcia Smith 19:06
never knew there was a real smoky a lot of people don’t know that it did he have a hat and a little vest.

Bob Smith 19:12
He talked like this. You know, we think of Smokey the Bear right? Yeah, that comes from the song that was written that we probably all heard his kid Smokey the Bear and that was because the songwriters for the rhythm of the song put the word the between smokey and bear and also he’s not spelled like the Smoky Mountains smo KY it’s smo K EY Smokey Bear. I’ll be down but that’s the story of Smokey Bear. I clicked on it went on the website of the Forest Service and that was a cute little story.

Marcia Smith 19:39
That is a good story learning so much out like this. Why Bob? Why do we call a football field a grid iron over there?

Bob Smith 19:48
It’s a good question. Because it resembles a grid iron with the lines of iron with a grid on it that you would either heat things on or cook things on.

Marcia Smith 19:57
Okay.

Bob Smith 19:58
What’s the answer? I

Marcia Smith 19:59
guess I was way off. I also I was called the Gridiron, because it was laid out on a grid, you know, for the 10 yard lines and then the grid, but I was totally wrong, you’re closer to the truth. And the truth is what the truth is that you didn’t know that the word football first described in 1486 what it was a game involving two teams and an inflated animal bladder. Oh. You’ve heard of the pig skin. Well, this was an actual animal bladder, so it’s not too much different. Really. The game evolved several times before North Americans introduced new rules. Apparently they didn’t want to do the bladder thing. We introduced new rules such as three chances to advance the ball five, and then 10 yards, which led to white lines being painted on the field. From the stance, these lines gave the appearance of broiled meat from the metal grating of a griddle or grid iron. And so that’s why it’s called the grid iron. So I was right. Pretty much that name was first gonna

Bob Smith 21:02
get a ding ding ding ding ding Bob. Oh, that doesn’t sound like it. Ding ding so it was called

Marcia Smith 21:09
a grid iron. That name was first recorded way back in the 13th century. They called

Bob Smith 21:15
their field the grid. Yeah. Wow. That long? Yeah, that only Kelis? 700 some odd years ago. No,

Marcia Smith 21:21
but it is something amazing to me. Amazing, but

Bob Smith 21:25
true. All right, another animal question. What was the name of the original MGM lion? You know, we still see that line every once in a while in films. What’s the name of the original MGM line? Well, yes, a name. Yeah. Bill. Well, most people call them Leo. Okay, but the original name was slats. SLA T that’s SLA TS he first appeared in MGM is first film he who gets slapped in 1924 The Lions name was changed from slats to Jackie. And then when MGM began color production it used a lion named Tanner. But to the public all these years the lion has been known as Leo but the first lion was known as slats.

Marcia Smith 22:05
Curious. Okay, Bob. Here’s one right up your alley. Not what tist ik Nate’s a colt a Philly, a mayor and a gelding in the world of thoroughbred horses.

Bob Smith 22:17
What designates them Yes,

Marcia Smith 22:18
what’s a colt? What’s a Philly?

Bob Smith 22:20
A cold is a small a young horse. Okay. Okay. gelding had something to do with whether that was lost its genitals or something like that. Something like that. Yeah. And what’s the other one? A Philly. Philly is a female and a MER. Mer is a female also, but okay, here’s an older female and a Phillies a young female.

Marcia Smith 22:40
Well, you’re not too far off.

Bob Smith 22:41
Thank you

Marcia Smith 22:42
give you specifics. Good

Bob Smith 22:43
not to be too far off. Yes.

Marcia Smith 22:45
First of all, Bob. All horses are called foals until they are one year old. Okay. The official birth date of all thoroughbreds is January 1 of the year they were born. Oh really. So this is how they track everything on how old a thoroughbred is. Between the ages of two and five. Male horses are called colts and females are fillies

Bob Smith 23:08
Oh, okay. So we’ll call this a male affiliate as a female as a young horses Okay.

Marcia Smith 23:12
Beyond the age of five all males are simply called horses. And ladies are called a mare. You know, like used to call me the brood mare. I never called you that I called myself that. Yes. Okay. When a male horse is neutered, it becomes a gelding. So I was good about that. Yes, you were and those reserved for breeding are called you know, this one. Studs close. Oh, stallions. valiance okay.

Bob Smith 23:44
Okay, gotcha.

Marcia Smith 23:45
So in the world of horses, what do you want to be Bob a style? Yes. Okay.

Bob Smith 23:51
Yes. Sorry. It got a little upset about that.

Marcia Smith 23:54
In the 19th century Bob, there were well paying jobs for night soil men. What did they

Bob Smith 24:01
do? night soil man? Yes. In the 19th century? Yeah. What did they dig things up? Yes. They went up grave robbers. No. Okay. Not grave robbers. They dug soil at night. I have no idea why

Marcia Smith 24:16
according to good old days my ass. She’s a city’s grew up in the 19th century. So did the human waste prop Oh, typically working between midnight and 5am that night soil man working in teams of four would climb into a house assess pit and dislodge the sludge and dump it into tubs that were hauled up by rope men and taken away. Oh, the good news is Oh dear.

Bob Smith 24:43
Oh dear.

Marcia Smith 24:44
The good news is that these guys made two to three times more than even skilled workers. Wow. Well, I

Bob Smith 24:50
guess you paid for that. And yeah,

Marcia Smith 24:51
what did we call it today? hazard pay or something? Man? Can

Bob Smith 24:54
you imagine that? Smelling that stuff all night long. And then the next day Hi, honey. Wow. sleeping in the other room, baby. Yeah, no kidding. Jeez, I hope the money was worth it. I hope so too. Okay, Marcia, what is the first country to offer free public transportation? A country has done that. And I’ll give you choices. Okay. China, Russia, Switzerland, Luxembourg or Sweden.

Marcia Smith 25:17
Luxembourg.

Bob Smith 25:19
Why would you say that?

Marcia Smith 25:20
I don’t know. Okay.

Bob Smith 25:21
Well, you’re right. I mean, yes, since March 2020. If you go to Luxembourg on a vacation, and you can get there from France, Germany or Belgium, it’s easy. Anything, anything you want to ride trains, trams, it’s all free buses and cable cars. All free

Marcia Smith 25:37
taxes might be 90%. But they do get well out of move

Bob Smith 25:41
was intended to help cut traffic and emissions because it’s a small country. But it’s a rich country. There’s a website called Lux today or Lux today. Luxembourg is a rich country. It says its residents have more cars per capita than anyone else in the European Union. No kidding. But it’s a small country. So that cause traffic jams and car exhausts, and so forth. So free public transportation is designed to combat this five more passengers on a tram means five fewer drivers on the road, says the website besides they say you’re saying well, taxes, public transport wasn’t profitable anyway. Proceeds from ticket sales covered less than 10% of transportation costs, with the remainder picked up by taxes. Okay, therefore, the website concludes nothing radically has changed. I’ll be there. Yeah. Free. I like it free. Good. Free. It’s only got 602,000 people in the whole whole country. So it’s small if you’ve been there. No, me

Marcia Smith 26:38
either. Okay. Okay.

Bob Smith 26:39
So you got a thought for the day? I

Marcia Smith 26:41
do. I have to. Here’s one from Mark Cooper. Life has no remote us. Get up and change it yourself. I like that, don’t you? Yes, that’s good. Yeah, I like that you’re in charge. And this one is from Woman’s Day magazine. The secret of staying young is to live honestly. Eat slowly and lie about your age.

Bob Smith 27:05
All right, well, we hope you’re not lying about your age. But we hope you’re feeling young. And we hope you enjoyed our show today and come back for more. We’ll be back in another week with more fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. I’m Bob Smith.

Marcia Smith 27:19
I’m Marcia Smith.

Bob Smith 27:20
