mufflers and firearm silencers were made by the same guy,
Hiram Percy Maxim.

Obviously that guy had a problem with loud noises, but
we're all it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Number three Steak and Shake and Maxim Magazine, both owned
by the same company from San Antonio. We realized big
glory holdings, so you could think about Maxim Magazine next
time you're ordering your you know, stay Furger and Shake.
Number two. California produces almost ninety five percent of the
wine grapes grown in the United States, and if it
(01:11):
were its own country, California would be the fourth biggest
wine producing country in the world, behind France. Italy and
Spain were number one. And is it a rock or
a boulder? Well, depends on how how big it is.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Right.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
A rock is considered a boulder if it's more than
ten point one inches in diameter ten inches. The next
time a rock falls on your head, get out the
measuring tape and you can say I got hit by
a boulder. If it's bigger than ten point one april
rock falls on my head, I'm calling you because I
know where it came from.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Of its life. Sounds like I need a nap.

Detroit, Michigan is the only city in the United States
that lies directly north of a city in Canada that's Windsor, Ontario,

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Three.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
NASA used to hold beauty pageants back in the fifties
and sixties. Yeah, they called it the Misguided Missile. Then
they changed that to the Queen of Outer Space to
miss NASA. But maybe we should bring that back, you know,
like space themed rocket beauty pageants, you know, could be fun.
Albert Einstein, Edgar Allan Poe, Jesse, James H. G. Wells,
(02:41):
and Charles Darwin all married their first cousins.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Now I'm not going to make any jokes about that.
That's just no.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You shouldn't be marrying your first cousins. We've proved that
that usually doesn't end up well. And King Arthur didn't
just have a sword named Excalibur, his famous sword. He
also had a spear, but the spear had a less
interesting name. The spear was named Ron. Yeah, King Arthur
had a spear named Ron. Wednesday number five, You know,
(03:10):
the President gets free rent at the White House, but
they do have to basically pay for everything else, which
includes groceries, housekeeping, parties, vacation, and even their toiletries. So
you only get to stay there for free. You gotta
pay your own bills. After that number four, John Steinbeck
was late churning in his manuscript for of Mice and Men,
(03:33):
very famous novel and it's because his dog ate an
early draft of the book and he had to rewrite
a whole lot of it in order to get that
turned in a little late, but still.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
We got it just in time.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Number three, the title coastline of Maine is longer than
the eastern title coastline of Florida by one hundred and
forty seven miles.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
So that's pretty interesting to think about.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Maine being such a small state and Florida the eastern
coastline being so long, but Mainz is longer by one
hundred and forty seven miles.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Two.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
There have only been two confirmed.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Cases of humans being hit by a meteorite, so that's.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Not really something we should really have to worry about.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Statistically, they say there's a better chance of getting hit
by a tornado, a bolt of lightning, and a hurricane
all at the same time.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
And finally, number one, to.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Take something with a grain of salt actually refers to
an ancient Roman recipe for an antidote that protects against
all kinds of poisons.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Basically, the recipe was to take.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Two dried walnuts, two figs, and twenty leaves of row,
pound them all together with the addition of a grain
of salt, and it was believed that if a person
took this mixture while they were fasting, it would keep
you safe from all poisons throughout the day. But you
had to take that with a grain of salt in
order to get it to work.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Thursday, Umber five, the.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Queen Anne sleeps for up to nine hours per day,
but the work ants have a pretty crazy sleep schedule.
They take an average of two hundred and fifty short
naps throughout the day, each lasting about a minute. Could
you imagine two hundred and fifty one minute naps that
totals to about four hours per day that those ants sleep.
(05:17):
Young rabbits, pandas and a lot of other animals will
instinctively eat their mom's feces yep, Mom's number two because
it contains bacteria that they need to properly.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Digest to vegetation. Yum.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Three.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Hawaiian pizza with ham and pineapple was not invented in Hawaii.
It was actually admitted by a guy named Sam Panopolis
in Ontario, Canada, back in nineteen sixty two.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I still can't get behind that.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Though not a fan of the Hawaiian pizza, Geico came
up with their gecko mascot in nineteen ninety nine. You see,
there was a Screen Actors Guild strike that kept them
from using live actors, so they said, we'll use this gecko.
My kid's got one of those squeeze toys that's the
Geico gecko, and they absolutely love that thing, the little gecko.
And finally, number one, veto. We hear that a lot
(06:09):
when we're talking about new bills and lawmaking. If they're
going to veto a bill, that means it's not going
to be signed or go through.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
But it's actually a.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Latin word that means I forbid. Yep, we get veto
from the Latin.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Friday.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Okay, let's talk about your armpits.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Great, great, starting with number five, all right, number number five.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
The odorant is an eighteen billion dollars a year industry.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
It's so important.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
That's a lot of money spent in an attempt of
staying dry and smelling good.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Gosh, there's a lot of money. Number four, number four,
thank you.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
So what is actually odorless?
Speaker 3 (06:47):
That smell that you get from your armpits is referred
to as body odor. It's caused by the bacteria that's
breaking down the sweat once it's on your skin.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Oh, that's where it comes from. Uh huh, that makes
sense to be all right.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Number number three, Your ear wax can actually determine whether
or not you need to be using a lot of deodorant.
So if you have dark, sticky ear wax, then you
probably want to keep using a good amount of deodorant.
But if it's flaky, white earwax, you get away without
pampering your pits.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You know, most people don't want to talk about stuff
like this.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I know, I thought I do all five random facts
about it.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
This is this is how you learn. It's hard to
talk about it, but I like it. Number two, If
you do.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Produce those dry flakes of earwax, those are lacking the chemical.
You are lacking the chemical in your armpit that the
bacteria feeds off of and eventually creates body odor.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So think you're lacking the chemical in your armpit. That's
what's wrong with you.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
You don't stink as much because you don't have the
chemical in your armpits.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That's your problem.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Boing Number on and finally, speaking of chemicals in your armpits,
they do say that hand sanitizer is a safe substitute
if you don't happen to.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Have deodorant on you. Oh yes, but don't do it
all the time.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
The alcohol will kill off any bacteria that's creating your
body odor. But you don't want to use it regularly
because it can dry out your glands.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Oh no, not my gland.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
No no, you weren't expected that today, right. Five random
facts about your armpit.
