Well, hello. Hello. Hello. And welcome to this
week's show that keeps you in the know.
Hey, you cat. How are you? Hey, Bruce.
(00:24):
I'm doing alright. It's, you know, it's a
rainier start to the week than I would
have liked, but, it was it was a
good weekend. I, you know, I've been working,
like, training towards that, 10 k race that
I'm I'm working towards right now. That's right.
So I got up. I got to my
longest run yet. Like, I started with the
couch five k, like, a couple years ago,
and now I'm up to, like, almost five
miles at a stretch. I'm like, yes. I
got it. Sweet. I run like a turtle,
but I'm doing really good. Yeah. Yeah. It's
(00:45):
good. It was a fun time. And it's,
like, I don't know. I was just got
to have some some zen moments while I
was running this weekend.
Gosh, I got to do the art walk
on Saturday. The library hosted we had those,
like, black light glow paintings by that, that
artist John Harold Scott in the library. Oh,
okay. Yes. It was really cool. A lot
of people, like, some some families brought their
kids through and the kids were like, we
I was like, pick up the paintings, put
(01:06):
them under the black lights, and they're like,
yes. It's the coolest thing ever.
Yeah. And they got to take some paintings
home. I was just gonna say everybody's gonna
want one after that. Yeah. No. Well, and
he's cool because he does, like, like, art
by donation is what he calls it. So
it's like a pay what you can kind
of thing or pay what you whatever you
feel like paying. So, you know, you can
just drop a couple bucks in and take
a painting home. So a couple families did
that. Yeah. Yeah. It was really fun. It
(01:27):
was a good time. It's a good time.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I ended up mowing. Yeah.
Well, Saturday, when something was gonna rain, I
went out and had three yards, and I
have to look out my window at one
of the yards, you know, at the park.
I manage. And it was like, okay. At
least I wanna get the three inside yards
done, and I got that did all that
on Saturday. And then I worked on the
script. Yeah. How was that project going? Oh
(01:47):
my gosh. The guy showed up on Saturday
with my copper dodo,
the the the the stand that I had
custom built by the woodworker that one of
my vendors. Yeah. And he showed up with
it. Him and his wife did, and, so
I put the dodo on top of it.
And it looks I'll show you a picture
of where I'll do this stuff. But it
looks awesome. I'm going to I'm waiting. My

god. And so then I'm gonna get the,
(02:09):
background picture and everything. Give the homage to
the Maltese Falcon. It's gonna be a cool
cover. Alright. It's gonna be really cool. But,
yeah, I I worked on that as much
as I could. I I was telling Tom,
our producer, that I go I I go,
I really have worked on the script as
well, but I was watching football, so I'd
had to do something that didn't distract me
as much as writing does. So
I got my props together, and I found
(02:30):
all the, you know, some of the props,
everything I needed on and and got them
all together and everything. So, yeah, I had
a really good weekend working with that. And
then, you know, and then waiting for the
rain. So
And here it is. And there it is.
All of a sudden, it came out like,

Alright. Now it's time for quotes from famous
people with cousin Bruce. Hey. Yeah. Hey. Here
are a few quotes from actor Samuel L.
Jackson. He was born 12/21/1948.
He says, I'm not as angry as I
used to be, but I can get in
(10:18):
touch with that anger pretty quickly if I
feel my space is being invaded or somebody
is not treating me with the respect that
I think I want.
He goes, the best advice that was given
to me that I had to be 10
times smarter, braver, and more polite to be
equal, so I did.
Not everybody goes to movies to get their
life changed. And last but not least, when
(10:39):
I hear actors say, I can't stand to
watch myself on screen, I go, well, why
the heck should somebody pay $15,000
to watch or $15 to watch you when
you don't even wanna watch yourself?
So there you go. Hope you enjoyed this
week's quotes from, Samuel Jackson with cousin Bruce.
Till next week. Hey. Have a great one.

perfect for the entire family. Seussical beckons you
into the whimsical world of doctor Seuss where
beloved characters like the catnap, Horton the elephant,
Gertrude McFuzz,
Lazy Maisie, and Jojo come alive with vibrant
spirit and boundless charm. The cat in the
hat leads us into the jungle of Newell
where Horton's kind heart shines brightly as he
(12:02):
discovers a tiny speck of dust holding a
Whoville,
a tiny universe full of hope and courage.
Horton, a gentle giant with an unwavering devotion,
is determined to protect his fragile speck and
the tiny inhabitants within. Even as he is
misunderstood,
ridiculed, and betrayed by those who refuse to
see what he knows to be true, his
steadfast friend, Gertrude Wickfuss, stands by him, her
(12:25):
faith never wavering. In time, their friendship blossoms
with love that touches the soul. So, like

for a bit of real history with Bushwacker
Bruce. Right. Hey, Cat. Hey, mates. Bushwacker Bruce
here, and welcome to this week's bit of
Real History for your knowledge pleasure.
Did you know
that the Voynich manuscript has puzzled man since
it was discovered?
It's true, and here's the stories.
The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated medieval
(16:40):
book written in unknown script. Carbon dated to
the early fifteenth century, featuring bizarre plants, cosmological
diagrams, naked women bathing, and alchemical
recipes that remain undeciphered,
baffling cryptographers
and linguists for centuries despite theories ranging from
an encrypted text, a constructed language, to a
(17:00):
sophisticated hoax.
Well, the book is named after Wilfred Voynich,
a Polish rare book dealer who acquired it
in 1912 from a Jesuit priest in Italy,
sparked interest in its hidden secrets.
The script often called Voynich's has no known
alphabet,
structure, or a linguist
parallels, making it unreadable by modern cryptology and
(17:22):
computational
linguist.
The manuscripts
pages are filled with unique detailed drawings, including
unidentifiable,
fantastical plants, zodiacs,
stars, and celestial
maps,
groups of small naked women bathing in complex
pipe systems, drawings of roots, leaves, and mysterious
bottles. While Vornish discovered at the manuscript's history
(17:45):
traces back to the seventeenth century Prague,
possibly owned by emperor Rudolf the second, suggesting
it wasn't a modern creation.
Here's the theories on what it varies. It
may be a complex cipher code for known
language, an invented language or artificial script, a
genuine but lost work on medicine, alchemy, or
botany, an elaborate medieval fraud possibly by Voynich,
(18:08):
yourself, or another,
those statistical
analysis shows patterns similar to natural languages. Well,
I hope you enjoyed this week's bitter history
with yours truly, Bushwacker Bruce. Till next time.
Always keep it real.
I'm gonna
(18:30):
say, like, I did. You'd like me a
good rare manuscript in Long Island. Have you
ever heard of it before? Not that I've
ever heard of it before. Oh, they've done
several things on this, like mysteries.
Mhmm. The at the, you know, museum and
all. Mysteries museum. Yeah. That one. That one.
Yeah. They do. My favorite one is rip
things off of. Right.
Yeah. But but this is a good one.
Yeah. You need to check that out. It's
(18:50):
it still is people aren't really sure. Yeah.
Yeah. So I'm gonna say a nice little
puzzle for linguists. Okay. Very cool. Very cool.
Well, we're getting into the PSA portion of

Hey, you cat. How are you? Hey, Bruce.
(00:24):
I'm doing alright. It's, you know, it's a
rainier start to the week than I would
have liked, but, it was it was a
good weekend. I, you know, I've been working,
like, training towards that, 10 k race that
I'm I'm working towards right now. That's right.
So I got up. I got to my
longest run yet. Like, I started with the
couch five k, like, a couple years ago,
and now I'm up to, like, almost five
miles at a stretch. I'm like, yes. I
got it. Sweet. I run like a turtle,
but I'm doing really good. Yeah. Yeah. It's
(00:45):
good. It was a fun time. And it's,
like, I don't know. I was just got
to have some some zen moments while I
was running this weekend.
Gosh, I got to do the art walk
on Saturday. The library hosted we had those,
like, black light glow paintings by that, that
artist John Harold Scott in the library. Oh,
okay. Yes. It was really cool. A lot
of people, like, some some families brought their
kids through and the kids were like, we
I was like, pick up the paintings, put
(01:06):
them under the black lights, and they're like,
yes. It's the coolest thing ever.
Yeah. And they got to take some paintings
home. I was just gonna say everybody's gonna
want one after that. Yeah. No. Well, and
he's cool because he does, like, like, art
by donation is what he calls it. So
it's like a pay what you can kind
of thing or pay what you whatever you
feel like paying. So, you know, you can
just drop a couple bucks in and take
a painting home. So a couple families did
that. Yeah. Yeah. It was really fun. It
(01:27):
was a good time. It's a good time.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I ended up mowing. Yeah.
Well, Saturday, when something was gonna rain, I
went out and had three yards, and I
have to look out my window at one
of the yards, you know, at the park.
I manage. And it was like, okay. At
least I wanna get the three inside yards
done, and I got that did all that
on Saturday. And then I worked on the
script. Yeah. How was that project going? Oh
(01:47):

with my copper dodo,
the the the the stand that I had
custom built by the woodworker that one of
my vendors. Yeah. And he showed up with
it. Him and his wife did, and, so

(02:09):
background picture and everything. Give the homage to
the Maltese Falcon. It's gonna be a cool
cover. Alright. It's gonna be really cool. But,
yeah, I I worked on that as much
as I could. I I was telling Tom,
our producer, that I go I I go,
I really have worked on the script as
well, but I was watching football, so I'd
had to do something that didn't distract me
as much as writing does. So
I got my props together, and I found
(02:30):
all the, you know, some of the props,
everything I needed on and and got them
all together and everything. So, yeah, I had
a really good weekend working with that. And
then, you know, and then waiting for the
rain. So
And here it is. And there it is.
All of a sudden, it came out like,

people with cousin Bruce. Hey. Yeah. Hey. Here

Jackson. He was born 12/21/1948.
He says, I'm not as angry as I
used to be, but I can get in
(10:18):
touch with that anger pretty quickly if I
feel my space is being invaded or somebody
is not treating me with the respect that
I think I want.
He goes, the best advice that was given
to me that I had to be 10
times smarter, braver, and more polite to be
equal, so I did.
Not everybody goes to movies to get their
life changed. And last but not least, when
(10:39):
I hear actors say, I can't stand to
watch myself on screen, I go, well, why
the heck should somebody pay $15,000
to watch or $15 to watch you when

So there you go. Hope you enjoyed this

where Horton's kind heart shines brightly as he

discovers a tiny speck of dust holding a
Whoville,
a tiny universe full of hope and courage.
Horton, a gentle giant with an unwavering devotion,
is determined to protect his fragile speck and
the tiny inhabitants within. Even as he is
misunderstood,
ridiculed, and betrayed by those who refuse to
see what he knows to be true, his
steadfast friend, Gertrude Wickfuss, stands by him, her

for a bit of real history with Bushwacker
Bruce. Right. Hey, Cat. Hey, mates. Bushwacker Bruce
here, and welcome to this week's bit of
Real History for your knowledge pleasure.
Did you know
that the Voynich manuscript has puzzled man since
it was discovered?
It's true, and here's the stories.
The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated medieval
(16:40):
book written in unknown script. Carbon dated to
the early fifteenth century, featuring bizarre plants, cosmological
diagrams, naked women bathing, and alchemical
recipes that remain undeciphered,
baffling cryptographers
and linguists for centuries despite theories ranging from
an encrypted text, a constructed language, to a
(17:00):
sophisticated hoax.
Well, the book is named after Wilfred Voynich,
a Polish rare book dealer who acquired it
in 1912 from a Jesuit priest in Italy,
sparked interest in its hidden secrets.
The script often called Voynich's has no known
alphabet,
structure, or a linguist
parallels, making it unreadable by modern cryptology and
(17:22):
computational
linguist.
The manuscripts
pages are filled with unique detailed drawings, including
unidentifiable,
fantastical plants, zodiacs,
stars, and celestial
maps,
groups of small naked women bathing in complex
pipe systems, drawings of roots, leaves, and mysterious
bottles. While Vornish discovered at the manuscript's history
(17:45):
traces back to the seventeenth century Prague,
possibly owned by emperor Rudolf the second, suggesting
it wasn't a modern creation.
Here's the theories on what it varies. It
may be a complex cipher code for known
language, an invented language or artificial script, a
genuine but lost work on medicine, alchemy, or
botany, an elaborate medieval fraud possibly by Voynich,
(18:08):
yourself, or another,
those statistical
analysis shows patterns similar to natural languages. Well,
I hope you enjoyed this week's bitter history
with yours truly, Bushwacker Bruce. Till next time.
Always keep it real.
I'm gonna
(18:30):
say, like, I did. You'd like me a
good rare manuscript in Long Island. Have you
ever heard of it before? Not that I've
ever heard of it before. Oh, they've done
several things on this, like mysteries.
Mhmm. The at the, you know, museum and
all. Mysteries museum. Yeah. That one. That one.
Yeah. They do. My favorite one is rip
things off of. Right.
Yeah. But but this is a good one.
Yeah. You need to check that out. It's
(18:50):
it still is people aren't really sure. Yeah.
Yeah. So I'm gonna say a nice little
puzzle for linguists. Okay. Very cool. Very cool.

Hey. Meals on wheels, volunteers needed. If you'd

those your help very happy, if you'd like
to do something to help give back to
the community you love, and if you would
(20:54):
like to help out your fellow human beings,
then Meals on Wheels is looking for you.
By delivering a hot meal to those who
are home ridden, you not only help someone
who is hungry, but you also bring a
bit of kindness into their lives, a friendly
face for them to see every day, and
social contact they may not have otherwise.
There are three routes that deliver hot meals
to about 60 seniors on a daily basis.
(21:15):
Each route takes about one and a half
hours. You can volunteer by the day, the
week, biweekly, bimonthly, even if it is just
one day a week, one day a month,
whatever works for you.
Every little bit helps. If you're interested in
helping in this great cause for the community,
you can contact Meals on Wheels via the
Checo activity center. (541)
