This is Tess's five Random Facts podcast with all of
the facts from the Doctor Shane and Test Show this week,
Let's count them down.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
My Random Facts is brought to you every day on
ninety two to five WPAP by Jerry Pybus Electric serving
Panama City and surrounding areas nights and weekends, Always available,
truly open twenty four to seven, prompt experienced trust for
the Electricians Jerry Pibus Electric eight five oh seven eight
four two seven six six Monday. The International Movie Database
(00:31):
as in IMDb started in nineteen ninety and it actually
started as a group of guys who're trying to make
a list of actresses with the best eyes and yes
I am talking about their actual eyes. And it just
grew from there and now it's the huge one that
we go to when we can't place that actress. What
else were they in? Where do I know them from?
We all go to IMDb. The three highest grossing media
(00:56):
franchises of all time. Disney is not in first place,
it's actually Pokemon as the highest grossing media franchise of
all time, then Mickey Mouse and Friends, then Winnie the
Pooh and Star Wars is fourth number three. Iceland their
population is so small and secluded that whenever two people
there start dating, there's actually a serious risk that they're related.
(01:21):
If Shane was here, we'd make an Alabama joke, but
I'm not going to go there. There's actually even an
app that the government puts out where people can put
in their names and find out if they're related before
they get it on. And why does this phrase Canadian
tuxedo describe wearing jeans and a jean jacket like all
Denhim a Canadian tuxedo. Well, in nineteen fifty one, Bing
(01:42):
Crosby wasn't allowed in a hotel in Canada because he
was wearing this double denim look. So Levi's actually made
him a Denhim tuxedo as a publicity stunt and it stuck,
the Canadian tuxedo. And finally, have you heard of the
luxury brands Todds, fen and Bulgary. They're actually paying for
(02:02):
the restoration of the Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain and the
Spanish Steps in Rome, all big amazing Rome landmarks that
are actually being restored and paid for and funded by
some of the biggest name brands, luxury brands that come
out of Italy. So I think that's great. Finally, people
using their wealth and money for something really good, restoring history.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Tuesday five.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
We all know about Central Park in New York City,
but did you know that Vancouver has an urban park
that is about one fifth larger than Central Park. It's
called Stanley Park. Did not know that they have a
really thriving gray squirrel population. Did you know that all
of the gray squirrels there are descendants of eight pairs
of gray squirrels that Vancouver got as a gift from
New York City Central Park in nineteen oh nine.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's like, hey, congrats on your park. Here's eight here's
eight squirrels.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Here's a squirrel.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Yeah, we're talking about football being back, But did you
know in thirty years, the last thirty years, there have
only been three times where an NFL punt went negative yards?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Oh yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
The last time it happened was in twenty twenty two.
The Miami Dolphins kicker Thomas Morstead had a disaster of
a kick. He punted it into his teammate's backside and
then it shot backwards and went out the end zone
for his safety, giving the other team. The Buffalo bills
a safety. He punted it into his teammates.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Rear in and his booty. It was a booty punt,
that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Have you heard of violins made by Antonio Strata, Yes,
the most expensive in the world.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Huge.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I mean they're known for their violins and cellos and strength.
But they also made a very small number.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Of guitars Stratavarius.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yes, there's only a handful left in existence, but only
one of them is playable. And that's it. Only one
Stratavarius guitar left that's playable.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's coret.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It'd be cool to play it would. Dale Carnegie, the
author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, a
very famous book, was not connected to the famous Carnegie fan.
His last name was c ar and A G. E Y,
but he changed the spelling to match the carnegiese so
that people would think that he was related to the
famous rich family.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
You go, so we just made up a story, kind
of like Tim Watz, let's just make it up there.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
What cashoes are the only nut that you can't buy
in its shell and its shell? Yeah, the Cashew's the
shell is actually toxic. I didn't realize that you can't
buy a cashew in its shell.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Bret Bread is allergic to cashews.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
See, I love them, so I do too. He can't
even eat the nut much less the shell.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
We get like the mixed like nuts. Whatever you get,
I have to eat all the cashoes out of it. Blessed,
I know, my poor I love them. It works out.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The temperature inside the Great Pyramid in Giza is sixty
eight degrees all the time, no matter how hot it
gets outside. If you're inside the pyramid, it's sixty eight degrees.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
And how chili is it in my house? Sixty eight degrees?
You're basically a mummy. No, I'm a daddy. That was good,
all right.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I like that. The path that the von Trapp family
takes to escape from the Nazis in Austria in the
Sound of Music Life, Okay, it wouldn't have led them
to Switzerland, that's where they were trying to go. It
actually would have taken them to Germany.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
If you look at it.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Geographically, no no, no, no go dea me no Goda.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
The biggest US city that has no freeways is I
don't know, just look down the road destined you Fort
Walton Beach, Florida. Bend, Oregon is second, but it is
the biggest US city with no freeways.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I learned something today that's good.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That Mazda, you know, the car company. It's named after
the god of a religion called Zoroastrianism. Now, remember we
talked about this ancient religion that Freddie Mercury and several
other big known stars are part of and follow. But
it's the god or this religion is named Ahira Mazda
and the name translates to wisdom in Persian. That's how
(06:08):
far it dates back is to Persia. But that's where
we got the name Mazda for the vehicles.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Good to know. There's no way I can remember it,
but good too.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
There are craters in North Dakota, Canada, France, and Ukraine.
Think about how far apart all those places are those craters. Well,
they were all most likely caused at the same time
by fragments of the same asteroid that hit Earth about
two hundred and sixteen million years ago.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I love similarities and chemical compounds of these these craters.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So they happened my friend Thursday over the largest pyramid
in the world is in.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Egypt, Mexico, Mexico. That's what I say.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
It's called the Great Pyramid of Chilula, but it's covered
in grass and trees, but underneath all that it's a
man made pyramid. But it has a church built on
top too, so you can't even tell that it's really
a pyramid.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
It just looks like a big hill with the church
on Topilula. I love their honey sauce. I love you
to make it there. I don't know, I love it.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Did you know the United States imports more oil from
Canada than from all of the Middle Eastern countries combined.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, teach me something. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I got that from, Yeah, the US Energy and Information
Administration website, so I hope they got it right. Benjamin Harrison,
who was our twenty third president, was apparently addicted to cucumbers.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh, once you get on them.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
There was even a letter in college where his family
wrote him a letter begging him to lay off the cucumbers.
He'd be really into that TikTok trend of all the
cucumbers going on.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Now, you know, I'm like, it's springles potato chips for me.
I can't eat just one and boiled peanuts, which I
know you hate.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Not a fan. I know, too soft, too soft, probably
too salty for you too. You don't like it.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
No, I love it salty, but I like my peanuts
to crunch.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh, you're a cruncher.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Every element on the periodic table has to be named
after one of five things, something from mythology, a mineral,
a place, a property of that element, or a scientist.
A lot of the yeah, a lot of them were
named after the scientists that discovered them.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And rabies, we all know it's scary. It's very serious
and if you are exposed to it. Your little health
tip for you. If you begin showing.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Symptoms of rabies.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Your chances of survival basically are zero percent. If there's
any any chance of exposure, go ahead and go to
the hospital. You don't want to wait for symptoms to
show up because a bye.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
No, we don't. We don't need to test to come
in and be foaming at the mouth with rabies. We've
got it for all of us. Not again. I don't
want to see it again. I saw it one time,
and I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Want to get that wild man.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
She's just trying to get by it's Friday.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So on nine to eleven, we all know that every
single flight was grounded in the United States. No planes
were allowed to fly, But there was one non military
plane that was permitted to fly that day, and it
was a plane flying from San Diego to Miami and
they were delivering anti venom to a man had been
bitten by a highly poisonous snake. And it was escorted
by two fighter jets.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Unbelievable that happened. Unbelievable. I didn't realize that that way.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
One cowhide can produce up to twenty footballs.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Not that interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So that means that about three thousand cowhides are used
every year for NFL footballs.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Always tho I was the pig skin. Now you got cowhide,
I know, but hey, that's what you get with.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Speaking of football, the worst shutout loss in NFL regular
season history was all the way back in nineteen thirty four.
How bad this is when the Cincinnati Reds lost to
the Philadelphia Eagles. Can you believe those teams were around
in nineteen thirty four. The shutout was sixty four to
zero and the Reds were actually kicked out of the
league after that to play another game. This is cool Ecuador.
(10:07):
Did you know that it's split by the equator, and
you know we have winter and summer are flip flopped
on the southern northern hemispheres, so winter and summer actually
happen at the same time in Ecuador. So the north
part of the country is having winter, the south is
having summer, and vice versa. But if you ask the locals,
they say they only have two seasons, wet and dry.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You know that's right. I mean the wet season is
the wet season. You know that's right.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
And there are only two countries that have the word
the at the beginning of their official name, the Bahamas
and the Gambia. Now if we think of other countries
like the Netherlands or the Philippines.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Which they did the United States of America, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
It's not part of our official name, not officially. The
Bahamas and the Gambia, though, are officially the the.
