Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy take a side road to sanity and get some perspective in life with fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. So we’re back to our normal trivia format. All right, what’s the most bizarre religious trial in the history of the church Marsha

Marcia Smith 0:50
Well, it’s probably before the witch trials, right?

Bob Smith 0:54
Yes,

Marcia Smith 0:55
it’s probably goes back to what the Huguenots or something?

Bob Smith 0:58
Are you asking me which trial March or which trial?

Marcia Smith 1:01
Oh, quick wit we have that goes

Bob Smith 1:05
back to 897.

Marcia Smith 1:08
You know, as before my time Thank God.

Bob Smith 1:11
I never heard of this before I help Stephen the sixth to put his predecessor on trial. The only problem was his predecessor Pope for Moses was dead. So here’s what happened. Pope Stephen the sixth exhumed the rotting corpse of his predecessor and put them on trial. This was a time of great political intrigue within the Church. Pope Stevens was sponsored by one of the powerful Roman families the Dukes of Spoleto, who contested the papacy at the time, so this is all politics. Okay, so the late Pope’s corpse propped up on a throne. A Deacon was appointed to answer questions for the deceased Pontius Lord and during the trial for Moses’s corpse, that’s fo RM O S. U. S. His corpse was condemned for performing the functions of the bishop after he had been deposed and for accepting the papacy. While he was the Bishop of Porto. These don’t seem like huge crimes today, the deacon put up a spirited defense, but the corpse was eventually found guilty of perjury, his punishment they had his three sacred fingers, the blessing fingers broken off of the corpse, and he was stripped of his sacred clothing addressed in layman’s clothes and re buried and later, exhumed again and tossed into a river. This happened in the name of Christ, can

Marcia Smith 2:27
you believe that? It’s not one thing, it’s another, the trial became

Bob Smith 2:30
known as the cadavers and it became a scandal. It ultimately led to boob Stephen the sixes downfall and death he was imprisoned and he died of strangulation. There’s

Marcia Smith 2:43
a lot of PayPal history mysteries if you read history, you’ll find out some pretty bizarre things and you can

Bob Smith 2:49
read about it in wiki pedia Yeah, I found out about that first from a book called that’s a fact Jack and then I looked into it, and of course, went down this Wikipedia rabbit hole, but oh my god, what a weird time. That’s 897 Aedes when that happened? Okay,

Marcia Smith 3:04
but what was the Pilgrims favorite type of music?

Bob Smith 3:07
The Pilgrims favorite type of music. It wasn’t rap. And it wasn’t rock and roll.

Marcia Smith 3:13
It wasn’t it was half of that. It was half of that. It was rock. Pilgrims favorite music was Plymouth Rock. Oh,

Bob Smith 3:20
dear. Oh, I can’t believe that’s the answer. Sorry. Sorry.

Marcia Smith 3:24
I had to go for that. All right. I’ll give you another one. Okay. All right. According to the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization, what is the most widely eaten meat in the world?

Bob Smith 3:36
I think it’s pork. Isn’t it? The most widely eaten meat in the world is pork. Right?

Marcia Smith 3:41
You have to give me an answer not a question. The answer is pork pork by 36%. Poultry second 33%. Beef. Third 24%. And coming up last place that’s fourth is goats and sheep meat. 5% Goats

Bob Smith 3:58
and sheep meat. I guess that’s lamb right. Things like that. Don’t

Marcia Smith 4:01
slash sheep yet would be lamb and goats. Okay. Yeah.

Bob Smith 4:06
All right. Well, I have some questions on words. Now. I like word saltless. Recently in the New York Times, I thought it was interesting. What’s the origin of the word hedge? Like hedge your bets or

Marcia Smith 4:17
hedge funds hedge funds Yeah. Origin head does it have anything to do with greenery? Yes, it does. And it has to do with putting green bushes around your house to keep everybody out? Yeah, you

Bob Smith 4:30
got it meaning you Thank you. Yes, believe it or not. It comes from the plant world and hedges. Now what is a hedge your hedge is a row of closely planted shrubs, not Trump’s it just happened to be there. But shrubs you intentionally plant closely together to denote property ownership to keep in livestock and to protect land from wild animals or other threats. Well, hedges in the English countryside go all the way back to the Bronze Age. That’s how far back that out. And again, they’re designed to protect property. Eventually the word hedge began being used as a verb. When do you think the phrase to hedge a bet first appeared? How far back you think that goes? 100 years ago? 200 years ago hedge

Marcia Smith 5:15
your bet to hedge a bet. Okay. 1673

Bob Smith 5:18
Wow. 1672

Marcia Smith 5:21
really? Hot. That’s

Bob Smith 5:23
amazing. Yeah, that’s when that first appeared. Of course a person who hedges a bed is trying to protect his or herself from a loss by making a counterbalancing bed. And now we have hedge funds and all these other things. If you invest in a hedge fund, you’re trying to protect yourself from risk. So today as 400 years ago, the word hedge refers to something to protect and reduce risk.

Marcia Smith 5:46
Isn’t that something?

Bob Smith 5:48
Well, you did it right. And you got the right answer. I

Marcia Smith 5:50
did. Let’s talk string cheese. Oh, okay. We love our string cheese here in Wisconsin. And one of our own Wisconsin dairies the wall how we got started dairy in 2021 broke its own Guinness Book of World Records for the world’s longest piece of string cheese. How long was it How long

Bob Smith 6:11
is the longest string cheese as we say String cheese but people might not know it. That is

Marcia Smith 6:16
mostly it 10 sticks and you can take it apart or you can buy a little loop de loop. This

Bob Smith 6:21
was done for the world’s record. So it may be it was a mile long, a mile long. A mile long string of cheese. No. Okay, that’s a little nice. Okay. 100 feet.

Marcia Smith 6:33
It was more than that. It really Yes. 3832 feet.

Bob Smith 6:38
Well, that’s like two thirds of a mile. That’s pretty good or equal to 30,000

Marcia Smith 6:43
individual string cheese sticks like you like.

Bob Smith 6:48
That’s a lot that would last me a few years but ready 1000? Yes.

Marcia Smith 6:51
Well, the cheese took around five hours to make and 90 minutes to unravel. The cheese was presented with a long line of residents standing seven feet apart across three blocks, each holding a share of it. Afterward, participants got to take home a big piece of cheese with them. Well, of course they would write I mean, hopefully they stretched it out Guinness came they measured it and said yep, you win. And they cut the cheese. Lots

Bob Smith 7:21
of cheese. Cut the cheese. Well, they better cut the cheese if it’s that long. Okay, Marcia, what shoe company recently produced just 521 pairs of its most elite product and why a shoe company?

Marcia Smith 7:34
Well, that would be Nike? No, at would be Adidas. That

Bob Smith 7:39
would be Adidas. Yes. That’s the first half of the question. Now. Why did they only produce 521 pairs?

Marcia Smith 7:45
Because that’s all that the star basketball player would allow to have his name put on, though. Okay, that’s my only guess.

Bob Smith 7:53
But it does have to do with the market for the shoe. Okay, so you’re right, the company is Adidas. They only produced 521 pairs of their ad a zero ideal pro EVO number one shoe? One? Yes. That’s because they’re targeted to an elite group athletes who can run a marathon in three hours, 30 minutes or faster. So they built shoes just for these runners. Yeah, and you may think well, I don’t run marathons or I can’t run marathons that fast. But that sounds like a durable shoe for me, right? Yeah, that could last me many months or many races will know while these shoes may cost $500 Each say only lasts long enough for one marathon. Why? That’s just the way they’re made the paper and remade by Adidas for very elite runners.

Marcia Smith 8:41
Oh my goodness. And it’s called again what’s at

Bob Smith 8:44
a zero audio pro one shoe?

Marcia Smith 8:47
That’s a lot to put in on the tongue of year one was only five

Bob Smith 8:51
years Yeah. Oh, that’s funny. 521 pairs so there’s only 521 people in the world that God these

Marcia Smith 8:58
Okay, Bob Guinness Book of Records one more time. wenzels Farm in Marshfield, Wisconsin recently broke the record for the longest meat stick. There’s we got cheese sticks and now meat sticks. This is this putting together a whole Chuck coterie board based on the Guinness Book of World Records. Okay, how long was that meat stick Bob that’s in the Book of Records. is was it

Bob Smith 9:23
as long as the string cheese was it at least 3000 feet long? No. Okay. What was it?

Marcia Smith 9:29
It was more than a football field. 314 feet that’s

Bob Smith 9:33
a long meat stick cheese.

Marcia Smith 9:36
Just picture how big and long a football field picture beats Do you like

Bob Smith 9:42
those songs? Yes, sir. Good. Yes. Turkey sticks and stuff. Yeah, right.

Marcia Smith 9:46
Yeah, that’s what we get the turkey sticks.

Bob Smith 9:48
You know, occasionally on the show, Marsha will intentionally asked me a question so I can do an impression which is fun. Thank you, Marcia. You’re welcome. years ago, one of the first things Marsha and I did was sell a series of T tapes for people who had telephone answering machines right when they were very popular in the 80s. That’s right. And one of the first people you impersonated was Dr. Ruth. Oh, yeah. Remember that? Oh, yes. I want people to hear that. Now.

Marcia Smith 10:13
I don’t think I can do her anymore. But I may say, Well, we can play the recording. Here we go.

Ruth Westheimer 10:19
Speaking sexually Yandi Thank you very much for using that suggested hand manipulation to dial this number. You will know what to do now don’t contact a professional therapist, or leave a message when you hear the tone.

Bob Smith 10:38
Love that. I love that. Well, that was Dr. Ruth Westheimer or Marsh’s impression of that. And guess what the speaking sexually guru of the 80s and 90s is back. She’s now got a different focus on loneliness. Okay, she’s in her 90s. Now, she said she noticed loneliness in society got worse with a pandemic. And believe me, she understands loneliness. She was born an only child to a Jewish couple in Germany when she was 10. Nazi soldiers stormed into their little apartment and dragged her father off to a labor camp. She never saw him again. And then six weeks later, her mom and her grandmother put her on a train to Switzerland with other Jewish kids so they could live there during the war. And she never saw them again. She lived there all the war at age 17. She wrote in a diary, I live with 150 people and I am alone. So she knows what loneliness is about. So she lobbied recently, the governor of New York, figured she could help with loneliness, and she became the New York State loneliness ambassador. So now at age 95. She does public speaking workshops, seminars and public service announcements to help people with loneliness. She says there are two things you can do to work through any hardship, continually embark on new projects, and do things to help others. Yeah, yeah. Speaking loneliness. I don’t know if you can do a funny routine on that.

Marcia Smith 12:00
I don’t think I’m thinking of presidents. Oh,

Bob Smith 12:04
are we speaking of presidents?

Marcia Smith 12:06
We are now what President proclaimed the White House as the official name of his residence.

Bob Smith 12:13
What President proclaimed the White House has his official residence

Marcia Smith 12:16
as the official name of his residence. It wasn’t always called the White House to this guy. Oh, who was it? It was Teddy Roosevelt. Really? Yep. Teddy. declared in 1901 by presidential proclamation that the Executive Mansion should henceforth be known as the White House. People often referred to it as the White House, but was Teddy who formalized it and was the first to use that term on presidential stationery.

Bob Smith 12:45
Well, I didn’t know that it took that long to really make it formal. Interesting. Well, 1901 Yeah. All right, Marsha. I have a question for you a couple movie questions. So let’s just do one then we’ll take a break. Okay. What is the most successful Hollywood movie franchise of all time? Any idea?

Marcia Smith 13:04
Oh, Star Wars.

Bob Smith 13:05
That’s number two.

Marcia Smith 13:07
Okay. Star Trek? No. star gazing.

Bob Smith 13:11
It’s got more films than any other franchise. Yeah, no, with sequels, prequels, everything else?

Marcia Smith 13:17
Oh, gosh,

Bob Smith 13:18
what is the most successful Hollywood movie franchise of all time? We’ll have the answer. After this, you’re listening to the off ramp with Bob and Marcia Smith. Okay, we’re back. And we have a question on movies. We want to remind you that we do the off ramp show for the Cedarburg, Public Library, Cedarburg, Wisconsin, every week. And then we put it out on the podcast platforms and it runs all over

Marcia Smith 13:44
the world. God

Bob Smith 13:46
didn’t think it was gonna happen Marsh okay.

Marcia Smith 13:49
I didn’t know what you were doing.

Bob Smith 13:52
What’s wrong with you? And it runs

Unknown Speaker 13:54
all over the world. That’s

Bob Smith 13:56
right, Marcia. Speaking of worlds records, yes. What’s the most successful Hollywood movie franchise of all time? Now? You gave me one guess that was the Star Wars movies. Yeah, no, that’s number two. There were 12 Star Wars movies. 12 Films is the Star Wars series. Yeah.

Marcia Smith 14:15
Cash. Is it something I we’ve seen? And I should know. Is it Marvel?

Bob Smith 14:19
Yes, it’s Marvel. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is the the name of it actually, more than 30 films have been done really? Under the Marvel name. As of 2023 32 films to be exact. These films have grossed a combined $29.5 billion in revenue. And like you said Star Wars. It’s 12 films have done $10.3 billion in business. Okay,

Marcia Smith 14:45
Bob, what is the geographic center of the 48 contiguous states?

Bob Smith 14:51
Okay, that is a that is on a farm in Kansas, isn’t it? Yes, yes, it is. You mean the answer is meaning meaning you’re right. Yes,

Marcia Smith 15:02
you do. Thank you. When a turkey leg leftover, take a look no further than a nondescript field north of Lebanon, Kansas, not much marks this otherwise typical stretch of Midwestern farmland except for a nearby historical marker which you love. I love historical stuff me and the kids would try to divert your attention from every side. Look over here, look this way, historical marker was on the other side that we’ve seen, you know, I mean, to me, we thought it was funny when our road trips, that historical marker notes that the location was determined by the US Geological Survey, and that the point is where a plane map of the 48 states would balance if it were of uniform thickness. Now think of that. Well, it would balance at that point. In earlier times, this accolade garnered enough tourists for a motel. Location. Yeah. Oh, okay. It was a big deal. But while the souvenirs remain in downtown Lebanon, the motel has since closed.

Bob Smith 16:03
off people that moved across the country as the country grew. It did. Yeah. So it moved from the Midwest to the far Midwest, which is where it is now that consider that. Oh, because they kept that in states. You’ve country gets big. Yeah. Okay. Where’s the center of all these states? Okay. All right, Marcia. Oh, just

Marcia Smith 16:19
a quickie. Kansas is named after the Kansas tribe whose name means wind people. Oh, okay. Didn’t know that. No, it isn’t that lovely. The wind, the

Bob Smith 16:29
wind people. And that was a trivia question about a milestone there. Right, because it’s the place where it’s the geographic center of the United States. And I have a milestone question.

Marcia Smith 16:39
What was the transition there, Bob?

Bob Smith 16:41
Where does the term milestone milestone come from?

Marcia Smith 16:45
Yeah, well, that’s easy. They used to use stones to mark off miles on the trail across the United States, as they were looking for not

Bob Smith 16:57
just the United States, Marcia, across Europe, parts of Europe, parts of Europe. Yes. Which part ancient times? The Romans? Yes, yes. In ancient Rome, they had trained walkers, they walked 1000 paces at a time they marked the distance with stone obelisks. Now. 1000 paces equals approximately 4800 feet. 5280 feet is in a mile. So the stones were just short of a mile apart and they became known as mail stones, really? Because they were close enough. Okay, close enough. But all right. All right. One more. What are the origins of the word shrift? Like short shrift? Oh, well,

Marcia Smith 17:35
shrift. Yes.

Bob Smith 17:37
What is a shrift? Marsha? I

Marcia Smith 17:38
was just thinking about that earlier today. And my answer is it’s a shift that has been shortened.

Bob Smith 17:46
The shift meaning

Marcia Smith 17:48
shift dress a name for a dress.

Bob Smith 17:50
I see. A shortened shift is a shift is a shift. Well, you’re absolutely wrong. Yes. This one goes back to the church. Believe it or not. A shrift is the act of hearing a confession and giving absolution Oh yeah. Now let me repeat that shrift is hearing a confession and giving absolution so a condemned prisoners final confession was often brief to ensure the execution went off on time. So while regular people might have had a longer shrift to confess their sins, condemned prisoners. They got short shrift. I would be dying. That’s where it came from. That’s Are you getting the short trip? Yes. We want to kill you. Off you go. Yes. All

Marcia Smith 18:33
right, Bob. The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday. Right. It’s the busiest day of the year. For what profession for? retail shopping now.

Bob Smith 18:46
This is a profession. Oh, the busiest day of the year for police? No. Does he stay the year? For what

Marcia Smith 18:52
perfect? Give me a nickname these professional people call it sometimes. Okay. Brown Friday.

Bob Smith 18:57
Brown Friday. Is it firefighters? No. Brown Friday? I don’t know it’s plumbers.

Marcia Smith 19:03
plumbers. Really that nickname comes from the high number of service calls plumbers received the day after a holiday that strains people’s waistbands and their kitchen sink. Many plumbers say their Friday following Thanksgiving is twice as busy as any other day of the year. Too many people toss meat bones and stringy or dense foods down the disposal and it clogs everything up kind of ugly brown. Okay. Anyway, the day after Thanksgiving is that farmers big day.

Bob Smith 19:33
All right, Marcia, what’s unusual about the hogs living on an island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia. This is a little statistic I just learned of recently in the New York Times there was a article called off the menu and this was just one little fact about it. Really what’s unusual about hogs living on an island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia.

Marcia Smith 19:56
I don’t know they have three nostrils in their snout. No Okay, what?

Bob Smith 20:00
This is a breed of exceptionally fatty hogs. It’s on ossabaw Island off the coast of Savannah. They are the direct genetic descendants of pigs that the Spanish conquistadores oh my goodness dropped on that island 500 years ago. That’s amazing. Yes, direct genetic descendants that makes sense that they would be isolated there because it’s an island. Well,

Marcia Smith 20:23
just like what the Ravens in England in London, they’re at the Tower of London. Yeah. direct descendants going

Bob Smith 20:30
way back to the Middle Ages. Yeah, built that sucker. Okay, Marcia, did you know only humans and killer whales go through one particular phase of their life that other animals don’t? How can you know what it is? I’m thinking I’m think humans and killer whales go through one particular phase of their life that no other teenagers. I’ll give you heads female humans and killer whales, menopause. That’s it. Humans and killer whales go through menopause

Marcia Smith 20:59
see a correlation there between women and metabolic killer whales? bellick.

Bob Smith 21:03
There’s gonna make sense. That’s what it kind of seems like I remember that. When you you were well. You were doing that. And Chelsea was going through puberty at the same time. And I’d come home and you guys were screaming at each other. And I would say to Ben, our little guy. Hey, Ben, let’s go to McDonald’s.

Marcia Smith 21:23
Yes, hormones were coming in and going out. That’s right. Not a good mashup. No, it isn’t. What side of your face Bob is considered the best for most people left or right.

Bob Smith 21:33
What side of your face is considered the best?

Marcia Smith 21:36
Like my profile is better on one side? Have you ever looked you probably never even I

Bob Smith 21:41
don’t pay attention. Should I suppose? Too late now? I’d say the right side of the face.

Marcia Smith 21:47
It’s the left side.

Bob Smith 21:48
Why is it the left side? Anybody know why?

Marcia Smith 21:50
Well, they say here according to a 2012 study from Wake Forest University, the left side of a person’s face often expresses more emotion than the right really and onlookers tend to find that most aesthetically pleasing. When people were asked to rate the pleasantness of male and female profiles. Presenting both the left and right cheek, the participants overwhelmingly chose the left side I wonder why only

Bob Smith 22:15
the left side shows? That’s weird. It’s like you had a stroke on the right side. So the left side was showing emotion but not the right so one theory

Marcia Smith 22:22
for this left face bias is that emotion in spatial awareness is largely dominated by the right hemisphere of our brain Oh, but is lateralized to the left side of our body So emotions are expressed more intensely on the left side of your face out interestingly, Western artists throughout centuries have had a bias for painting portraits with subjects displaying their left cheek especially women like Mona Lisa. Oh, yes. And me too. I just discovered after you know 30 Some years okay, maybe longer that I definitely look better coming from my left side.

Bob Smith 23:00
I liked how you put yourself and Mona Lisa in the same sentence that was it any

Marcia Smith 23:04
doubt about that? Well, let me take a picture of you will decide which is better.

Bob Smith 23:08
Okay. We will not post that on our Facebook page. But okay, now, I have a question for you. Pumpkin Spice Latte. This has been the fall season for pumpkin spice. My question for you is How long has the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte had real pumpkin in it?

Marcia Smith 23:27
Is it real pumpkin

Bob Smith 23:29
they launched this drink in 2003 haha so it’s well over 20 years since the beginning no it they’ve never had they didn’t have it at all for years. And then the drank the drink originally had no pumpkin in it. Starbucks director of espresso was Peter Duke and his team concocted a coffee drink with cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. And it was immediately a hit. They found its way around Vancouver, British Columbia and Washington DC was first sold under the name Fall Harvest latte, and they changed it to pumpkin spice. But he had no pumpkin in it for 12 years.

Marcia Smith 24:03
They started getting called out yes

Bob Smith 24:04
because the food blogger Vanny Harry, who is known as the food babe, began putting pressure on the chain to reveal just what were the ingredients and then cornered in 2015 Starbucks headquarters announced its big decision to use real pumpkin actually it’s puree of pumpkin but at least now there’s pumpkin in there.

Marcia Smith 24:24
Why is dwelling on someone’s mistake called rubbing it in?

Bob Smith 24:29
Oh, that’s a good question. Why is dwelling on someone’s mistake called rubbing it in? Okay, I

Marcia Smith 24:35
give the expression refers to the pain or discomfort of having salt rubbed into your womb, which in earlier times the good old days was both a means of torture and a means of killing bacteria in your womb. You choose.

Bob Smith 24:53
IV we killed them both at the same time you and your bacteria. Yes, but anyway, that’s where it comes from. Yeah,

Marcia Smith 24:59
you’re rubbing it in And then it’s making things worse. Yeah. At least if it’s torture.

Bob Smith 25:03
Okay, so that’s where it comes from. You’re rubbing it in. All right,

Marcia Smith 25:07
so Bob, what breakfast food was once given as gifts to women after childbirth of

Bob Smith 25:13
breakfast food that was once given as a gift to women after childbirth

Marcia Smith 25:16
is like, here’s a box of Cheerios or not so much.

Bob Smith 25:20
Was it a packaged food? Yeah. Okay. Was it like eggs, for instance? Because you know, you’ve just given birth to a child and here’s an egg for you. This was replacing the egg you just got rid

Marcia Smith 25:31
of? Yes, I like it. Okay. Now, I am enjoying the route you’re taking to this. Go ahead. One more guy.

Bob Smith 25:38
All right. How about a bagel? Oh, is it a bagel? It is really? And why did you pick? That’s one of your favorite things. You like bagels? You would come up with a question that relates to something you like.

Marcia Smith 25:50
Yes. Well, bagels like the challah, which is the bread eaten during the Jewish New Year represents good luck because it’s a circle like a circle of life and endless blessings. If you’re having a baby, they would even wear bagels around their neck as one as necklaces.

Bob Smith 26:07
How big were the bagels to wear around their neck? They were hooked onto a necklace? Yes. Oh, dear. Oh, just saying it’s a look. It’s a luck. All right. All right. Okay, that’s strange. You come up with the strangest stuff. So thank you.

Marcia Smith 26:22
Thank you. All right, for my end quote. But a temperates committee asked President Lincoln to fire General Ulysses S. Grant because he drank too much. Right. And this is Lincoln’s reply. Quote. I wish some of you would tell me the brand of whiskey that grant drinks. I would like to send a barrel of it to every one of my other generals. Exactly. So, so much for that temperance committee making an impact on the President of the United States.

Bob Smith 26:53
They made an impact, but it was the wrong impact. Yeah. Well, if that’s the case, I’ll have everybody else drink it.

Marcia Smith 27:00
He was by far his best general. Yes,

Bob Smith 27:01
absolutely. He was tenacious, went after it. The others were kind of odd and how they would stop and start. Yeah, not start at all. Yes. Of some of them. Yes. All right. Well, that’s it for today.
