A
A LOT
A LOT OF
A LOT OF US MOST OF US COOPED UP AT HOME A LOT OF ODD THINGS ARE HAPPENING INSIDE. WHY NOT
EMBRACE THE WEIRD? I'M TALKING
ABOUT RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR
NOT. SO SABRINA SIKH IS JOINING
US FROM HER HOME. BUT ON BEHALF
OF RIPLEY'S SABRINA, YOU'RE
THE CREATIVE CONTENT MANAGER AT
RIPLEY'S RIGHT. THANKS FOR
HAVING ME. YEAH, FIRST OF ALL,
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ARE YOU IN
CHARGE OF JUST FINDING WEIRD
STUFF? YEAH. SO PART OF MY JOB
IS FINDING WEIRD STUFF AND
REALLY AMAZING PEOPLE TO PUT IN
OUR BOOKS, OUR ONLINE CONTENT.
I ALSO MANAGE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA
TEAM AND OUR CONTENT TEAM
THAT'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD
TO PUT TOGETHER SOME REALLY
COOL LIVESTOCK FOR YOU GUYS TO
BE ENTERTAINED WITH. OK. SO
WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THAT IN A
SECOND. YOU GUYS ARE OFFERING A
LOT OF THINGS VIRTUALLY TO KEEP
KIDS AND FAMILIES BUSY BUT HOW
DOES ONE GET A JOB DOING THIS
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS AMAZING.
YEAH, I ACTUALLY HAVE A
BACKGROUND IN JOURNALISM AND
FILMMAKING SO I THINK THE PART
THAT REALLY HELPS ME WITH THIS
ROLE IS VERIFYING IF FACTS ARE
TRUE OR NOT IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY
I BELIEVE IT OR NOT. SO THAT'S
KIND OF HOW I ENDED UP WHERE
I'M NOW. OK, SO LET'S TOUCH
UPON WHAT YOU GUYS ARE OFFERING
FROM RIPLEY'S FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE STUCK AT HOME. WHAT CAN WE
DO SO WITH OUR ATTRACTIONS
CURRENTLY CLOSED AND SO MANY
FAMILIES STAYING AT HOME AND
LOOKING FOR WAYS TO KEEP
ENTERTAINED, WE'VE CREATED A
WAY FOR OUR GUESTS TO ENGAGE
WITH US VIRTUALLY. AND WE
REALLY WANTED TO HAVE THEM STEP
INSIDE OF OUR ATTRACTIONS. WE
KNOW EVERYONE'S FANS VIDEOS
WHICH ARE PACKED VERITIES BUT
WE READ IT OUTSIDE
THE AUDITORIUM AS A HUB FOR
THESE LIVE VIDEOS. A SCHEDULE
OF EVENTS PLAY DOWNLOADABLE
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS AND ARTS
AND CRAFTS. THAT'S ALSO WHAT
IT'S LIKE SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT PEOPLE CAN EXPECT TO SEE
SOMEONE FAVORITE SEGMENTS THAT
WE'RE DOING ARE OUR FACEBOOK
LIVES. WE'VE GOT DRAWING
TUTORIALS WITH OUR RIPLEY
CARTOONIST JOHN GRAZIANO. SO WE
ACTUALLY HAVE THE LONGEST
RUNNING SYNDICATED IMPORTUNATE
HISTORY AND JOHN IS ONLY
THE SEVENTH ARTIST TO TAKE
THE PEN SINCE ROBERT RIPLEY
HIMSELF A SUPERGIRL. OK. SO I
HEAR THAT YOU'RE PUTTING ME TO
SOME SORT OF A TEST. I'M TAKING
A QUIZ IN. YES. SO WE'RE
ACTUALLY DOING QUIZZES ON OUR
INSTAGRAM TO HIGH ON LOVE. AND
LIKE I SAID, WE BUY SOME
YOUTUBE PLAYLISTS WHICH ARE
TRUE FACTS, LEADS, VERITIES AND
COOL. SO STRANGE THINGS.
YOUTUBE SHOWS ME NOW. OK. OK.
QUESTION NUMBER ONE. ALL RIGHT.
NUMBER ONE, THE WORLD'S TALLEST
MAN WHO EVER LIVED. HIS NAME
WAS ROBERT WARDLOW BORN IN
1918. HOW TALL WAS HE? GAY.
ELEVEN B? SEVEN TEN C 32. HE
GOT TO 710 ELEVEN. AND HIS SHOE
SIZE IS AT THIRTY NINE DOUBLE
DAY. SO WHERE DOES ONE GET A
THIRTY NINE AWAY. YEAH. CUSTOM
MADE. BUT TO PUT THAT IN
PERSPECTIVE EIGHT 811 IS A FULL
FOOT TALLER THAN SHAQUILLE WILL
BE CREATED. I'M ONLY FIVE THREE
SO THAT'S JUST I WOULDN'T EVEN
BE ABLE TO HEAR HIM FROM UP
THERE. OK. NUMBER TWO. ALL
RIGHT. SO AND THE 1960S FRANCE
AND BRAZIL WAGED A WAR OVER
WHAT CREATURE ITS LOGGERS OR
SARDINE. FOR SOME REASON I WANT
TO SAY SARDINES AND LOBSTERS
AND BOTH THE COUNTRY'S NAVY
HAVE GOT INVOLVED AND THEY
EVENTUALLY SIGNED A PEACE
TREATY. BUT BRAZIL AND FRANCE
WERE AT ODDS ABOUT WHO COULD
FISH THEIR LOBSTERS BECAUSE
WHERE THEY WERE BRAZIL,
THE NAMES THAT THE LOBSTERS
CRAWLED CONTINENTAL SHELF SO
THEY WERE FAIR GAME. BUT
THE FRIENDLY LOBSTERS WERE
FINNISH AND SOME REALLY WAS. SO
THEY DID REALLY WELL. WELL, OK,
LET'S DO TWO MORE. OK, LET'S
SEE. THE WORLD'S SMALLEST
SOVEREIGN NATION IS CALLED
WEALTHY LAND AND ON
INTERNATIONAL WATERS JUST OFF
THE U.K. WHICH IS FOLLOWING
THE SEA LAND HAVE ITS
CONSTITUTION CURRENT. YOU KNOW
HOW OR WHERE PASSPORT CURRENCY
OK. SO THAILAND'S A MICRO
NATION AND IT'S PRETTY MUCH
JUST TWO PILLARS IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE OCEAN WITH A HELIPAD ON
IT AT ALL COSTS OF LAND STAMPS
AND NATIONAL. LET'S DO ONE
MORE. SO IN THE 1950S A SCIENCE
KIT WAS SOLD TO KIDS WITH WHAT
DANGEROUS ELEMENT MERCURY
URANIUM OR HYDROGEN MERCURY
RADIO AND IT WAS CALLED AN
ATOMIC ENERGY LAB. IT SOLD FOR
FIFTY DOLLARS. AND THESE KIDS
COULD HAVE A WORKING NUCLEAR
LAB IN THEIR OWN HOME. I GOT
PEOPLE FROM SHELVES FOR SAFETY
REASONS BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT
NONETHELESS I GO TO THESE HOMES
I LIKE RED. TAKE THEM AWAY. I
DON'T THINK SO. I THINK THERE'S
STILL SOME IN THE MARKET. I
THINK WE ACTUALLY HAVE ONE IN
OUR COLLECTION AS WELL. SO
THEY'RE OUT THERE BUT NOT TOO
MANY PRODUCED. VERY GOOD.
SABRINA SEE RIPLEY'S QUICKLY AS
WE LEAVE. I TELL PEOPLE WHERE
THEY SHOULD GO, YOU KNOW, TO
GET SOME OF YOUR ONLINE
CONTENT. YOU CAN FIND
AUDITORIUM OUTSIDE
