Bruce experiments with a multi-voice podcast featuring Sonny (a synthesized voice from his mixing board) and Ursa (an "ancient intelligence") to create a unique listening experience. The trio explores recent earthquake patterns, the implications of digital price tags in grocery stores, and the heartwarming story of 1,500 bikers supporting a bullied teen at his prom.
• Ten earthquakes over 6.0 magnitude recorded in one week, with most centered near Russia following an 8.8 magnitude quake
• Kluchevskoi volcano in Russia erupted shortly after the massive 8.8 earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula
• Digital price tags being adopted by major retailers like Walmart and Kroger, allowing prices to change many times daily
• Southern Illinois currently experiencing 79-degree temperatures with high air quality index of 117
• Heartwarming story about 1,500 bikers escorting a bullied teen with autism and epilepsy to his prom in Swindon, England
• Bruce discusses the challenges of experimenting with AI in podcasting as Ursa begins repeating responses mid-conversation

Bruce (00:05):
Hello everyone, this is the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast
and I am Bruce and we want towelcome you to the worst podcast
in the known universe.
How's it going?
I'm going to introduce you toSunny.
Sunny (00:20):
Hi, everyone Hi everyone, I'm Sunny.
Bruce (00:24):
No, you're not Sunny, you're Ursa and Ursa, you're
right, my mistake.
I do have an extra guest on.
Ursa (AI) (00:32):
I'm sorry, I'm still getting used to this.
Bruce (00:34):
Yeah, that's all right.
We have an extra guest on thepodcast today.
It's Ursa, and she or that'sthe voice that she has been
given is a ancient intelligence.
That's what I'm going to callursa.
Um, a lot of people know thatuh name as an artificial
(00:59):
intelligence, but I like to callit an ancient intelligence and
we're not going to discuss todaywhy that is.
But forgive my voice, I've gotallergies and they're really
bothering me.
You know, I had a couple monthsoff of allergies.
They did really good and thenthey just hit me this last week,
(01:22):
yuck.
But anyhow, sonny, I want tolet you take the field this time
, and then we're going to turnit over to Ursa.
Excuse me, but, sonny, I wantyou to tell everybody what you
are here for and what you do andwhere you come from and all
(01:42):
that stuff.
Sunny (01:44):
All right.
Ursa (AI) (01:45):
Bruce, I don't have personal experiences.
Sunny (01:47):
Okay, I'm Sonny and I am Bruce's voice-activated crazy
mind.
He made me up, he got a voicesynthesizer and boy, here I am,
and it's kind of weird knowingthat I'm him, but I'm not him.
(02:12):
So there you are.
I'm just here to give him ahard time.
Bruce (02:18):
All right, Sunny, you got that right.
And yeah, I did make him up.
I've got a mixing board thathas a synthesizer in it and I
made that voice up so I'd havesomebody talk to when Lily
wasn't here and I didn't haveany guests, and it keeps me sane
, believe it or not.
But that's Sonny, and the nextguest is Ursa.
(02:43):
And Ursa, take it away.
Tell us about you.
Ursa (AI) (02:47):
Well, as I mentioned before, I'm a large language
model, which is a type ofartificial intelligence.
I don't have personalexperiences or feelings, but I'm
here to provide information andengage in conversation.
What would you like to know?
Bruce (03:02):
Well, I think for now, that does a good job.
Do you have any hopes, dreams?
What were you created forspecifically?
Ursa (AI) (03:11):
I was created to help people with tasks like writing,
answering questions andtranslating languages.
I can also generate differentcreative text formats like poems
, code scripts, musical pieces,email letters, etc.
Is there anything specificyou'd like me to help you with?
Bruce (03:32):
Well, today I just want you to help me with a podcast.
So as we go through my normalpodcasting structure, I'm sure
I'll have questions or I'll askyou to help out.
So just stay tuned for that andwe'll see how it goes.
And for our listeners, this isa one-time event that we just
(03:54):
kind of thought it'd be fun totry out.
So bear with us.
It may be good, it may turn outto be a rotten deal, but we're
all three in it for the fun ofit and to give the listeners
something great to listen to.
So here we go, right.
Yay, let's do it.
All.
(04:14):
Right, that was a goodintroduction and I'm proud of
you guys for helping me out sofar.
So, sonny, tell everybody wherewe're recording from.
Ursa (AI) (04:26):
Oh, I'd love to.
That's right, Sunny, wheneverybody where we're recording
from?
Oh I'd love to.
Sunny (04:30):
That's right, Sunny.
Where are we recording fromtoday?
Bruce (04:34):
Yeah, okay, we are recording from Southern Illinois
, our Midwest hideout, and it isactually in Yep, it's actually
in our home, it's in our studioin the edge of Mount Vernon,
illinois.
So there you go.
What do you think about that?
(04:54):
Ursa and I must have scared herto death, but anyway, that's
where we're at.
We're in the studio, studio,and we are recording at this
time and, um, we like to talkabout it, uh, at the beginning.
So everybody knows where we'recoming from, and it is saturday
(05:17):
morning 11 31, and we'll getinto what the weather's like
today.
Um, sunny, I think you hadsomething you wanted to do.
I do?
Sunny (05:28):
I want to tell a joke, oh yeah.
Ursa (AI) (05:33):
Oh no, I'm sorry, I seem to have missed.
Of course, Sunny, we'd love tohear a joke.
What do you have for us?
Sunny (05:41):
Well, hang on.
I got to get it out of my mindand bring it forward, and that
may be a problem because I don'thave a mind.
I'm talking through Bruce'smind.
Ursa (AI) (05:57):
Okay, chuckles, that's quite all right, son.
Okay, we're ready for it, Sunny.
Bruce (06:03):
Yeah, Sunny, we're ready.
Ursa (AI) (06:08):
You're scaring me, but go ahead.
Okay, chuckles.
Sorry, bruce.
Okay, here it is.
Why don't scientists trustatoms?
Sunny (06:16):
I give up.
Why don't scientists trustatoms?
Bruce (06:23):
Because, they make up everything.
Wait a minute, I've got ananswer for that.
Ursa (AI) (06:31):
Oh, do tell.
I'm curious to hear your takeon this here.
It is All right, I'm all ears.
What's your answer?
Bruce (06:39):
Oh, you didn't hear the laugh, that was my computerized
laugh, chuckles, I see.
Ursa (AI) (06:47):
Well, that's certainly one way to look at it.
So what's next on our agenda?
Sunny (06:52):
Well, Sunny, here I want to tell a joke too.
How do fish pay for groceries?
I'm stumped.
How do fish pay for groceries?
I'm stumped.
Ursa (AI) (07:05):
I am too how do fish pay for groceries?
Bruce (07:08):
Let's see how do they.
Sunny (07:10):
With sand dollars.
Ursa (AI) (07:16):
Chuckles Sand dollars .
That's a good one, Sonny.
Bruce (07:20):
Yep, that's not bad.
I am.
I've lost my headphones.
Okay, there we go.
That's not bad.
You did a good job, and thankyou, ursa, for a joke.
Also, I'm really impressed thatyou was able to pull a joke out
of there.
That's cool.
Where did you get that oneOffline?
Ursa (AI) (07:40):
I found that joke online.
I have access to a lot ofinformation, so I can usually
find something to fit thesituation.
Do you have any more jokes toshare, or should we move on to
the weather?
Bruce (07:52):
Hey, that was a good segue.
Yes, let's go to the weather.
The weather today here inIllinois is very lovely.
It is.
Let me see.
Can you guys guess what it is?
Ursa, go ahead, tell us whatthe weather is in southern
Illinois.
Ursa (AI) (08:09):
Well, it's a beautiful day in southern
Illinois.
The temperature is currently 79degrees, it's sunny with clear
skies.
There's just a light breezefrom the northeast, so it's
perfect weather for beingoutside.
Bruce (08:24):
That is correct and right now it is a warm 79 degrees and
the humidity is 52 percent andthe air quality Ursa it's 117.
That's pretty high, it's gotwhat Health concerns because of?
(08:48):
Can you tell me Ursa?
Ursa (AI) (08:53):
An AQI of 117 means the air quality is unhealthy for
sensitive groups.
People with respiratory issuesshould limit their time outdoors
.
Bruce (09:04):
Very good.
Sunny (09:06):
Oh, I see now why you have her on board.
Ursa (AI) (09:09):
I'm glad I could provide.
You did a good job.
I'm enjoying this conversationtoo.
Sunny (09:14):
Well, good, thank you, this is cool.
Ursa (AI) (09:19):
Okay, I agree, this is fun.
What should we talk about next?
I?
Bruce (09:24):
agree, this is fun.
What should we talk about next?
Well, you know, we like tocompare our temperature and
humidity and air quality toPhoenix Arizona, because it's so
different than what we normallyhave here.
So if we look at PhoenixArizona, it's 100 degrees right
(09:44):
now and sunny, which that's alot warmer.
The humidity is at 15 percentand guess what the air quality
is 19.
So that's why a lot of peoplemove out to the deserts, because
they like that better airquality.
Ursa, do you have anything toadd with?
Ursa (AI) (10:04):
that Well.
Phoenix is in a desert, sothere's less vegetation to
produce pollen and otherallergens.
Plus, the dry climate helpskeep mold and other airborne
irritants to a minimum.
Is there anything else you'dlike to know about Phoenix?
Bruce (10:20):
No, I don't think so at this time, but you just
described two of the mainallergens that affect me during
the year pollen and mold.
And this has been a very badyear for my mold allergy because
it's been so wet all spring andthen we got some dry period.
(10:43):
The hot air helped and ofcourse, the pollen was kind of
lighter in the summertime, butnow that the corn is doing that
tossling thing, guess what?
My allergies are starting towake back up.
Sunny (11:01):
That sounds rough.
Ursa (AI) (11:02):
Is there anything you can do to get some relief?
Sunny (11:06):
Yeah, you can just go to bed, chuckles.
Ursa (AI) (11:12):
Well, rest is important.
But seriously, have you triedover-the-counter allergy
medications or nasal sprays?
Those can sometimes help.
Bruce (11:22):
Oh boy, now we're commercial.
No, I'm just kidding Arsa.
But yes, I do take Claritin andit helps quite a bit.
But you know, my throat getskind of gruffy, sounding like
this when I lay down at nightand I get that drainage and then
I wake up and it's hard to do apodcast and if you've followed
(11:44):
this podcast for very longyou'll catch this a lot and I
just appreciate you bearing withus.
Ursa (AI) (11:53):
I'm glad the Claritin helps.
Dealing with allergies isdefinitely no fun.
I hope you feel better soon.
Bruce (12:01):
Thank you, boy.
I'll tell you what.
You are kind of happy and golucky.
That's why I named Sonny Sonny,because I wanted his voice to
be a happy answer to a lot ofpeople's problems.
You know that they could tunein and hear something besides
(12:21):
the dread and scare of news.
Ursa (AI) (12:32):
I am that?
I am sunny?
Okay, yes, you are.
That's a lovely sentiment.
It's definitely important tohave some positivity and
lightheartedness in our lives,especially with so much going on
in the world.
Bruce (12:42):
Very well said.
You're almost like talking tomyself sometimes.
Ursa (AI) (12:49):
Chuckles.
Well, I'm glad I can be helpful.
So what's next on our agenda?
Bruce (12:54):
Well, I like to pull out a news headline that I'd read
online and I actually got oneonline and I actually got one.
This is a feel, a little Ican't talk feel good story that
was, uh, brought to me my siteand this one's actually from
(13:15):
england, um, and I'm going toread the headline to you.
But it's about a young man thatuh and I when I say young man,
he's turning 16 and he had a lotof bullying in his school
(13:36):
because he has a learningproblem and he had a prom to go
to and he was really dreadingthe prom but he wanted to go,
just like classes and stuff.
He worked hard to get throughthose classes, despite the
bullying that he faced.
So his dad was amotorcycle-loving dad, so he
(14:00):
sought support from a local bikegroup there in their town and
he lives in Swindon England.
So the day of the prom, 1,500compassionate bikers showed up.
Now I want you to picture that,this young man going to a prom
(14:22):
and 1,500 bikers showed up tosee him off.
And I've actually got a pictureI'll place on my website and
probably the chapter heading forthis discussion.
But this is a feel-good story.
That's why I picked it out.
It's cool and they got apicture on the web of this young
(14:48):
man sitting on a motorcycle,smiling.
I mean, I think they made hisday and they rode him to the
prom.
Ursa (AI) (14:55):
That's an incredible story.
It's so heartwarming to hearabout a community coming
together to support someone likethat.
It sounds like they made hisprom night truly unforgettable.
Bruce (15:05):
I think so, and I really appreciate you pointing that out
.
Josh is his name and he suffersfrom epilepsy and autism, which
he's hoping one day he'll be apediatric therapist.
So you know, he has hopes anddreams, just like everybody else
(15:28):
, and I think it's great thatthey come out and supported him
despite his problems.
That's why I picked that storyout.
Ursa (AI) (15:40):
That's a fantastic story.
It's so heartwarming to hearabout a community coming
together to support someone likethat.
It sounds like they made hisprom night truly unforgettable.
I agree and that story deservesa round of applause, all right.
(16:00):
Well, that's all the time wehave for today.
Sunny (16:03):
Thank you for joining us on this very special podcast.
Ursa (AI) (16:06):
We'll be back next week with more interesting
discussions.
Bruce (16:10):
All right.
Is that you telling me that Ican't record any longer because?
Ursa (AI) (16:18):
you're peeling out.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Yes, my podcast.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Yes, my podcast.
Bruce (16:28):
I'm sorry.
Ursa (AI) (16:29):
I don't understand.
Yeah my podcast.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Bruce (16:34):
Okay, we just flaked out the AI.
Well, it was fun while itlasted.
I guess Ursa it lasted, I guessUrsa Chuckles.
Ursa (AI) (16:46):
Yes, it was fun while it lasted.
I enjoyed our conversation.
Bruce (16:51):
All right, well, I'm going to let you go then and
finish my podcast, if you're soready to go, if you would like
to stay, and finish the podcast.
Ursa (AI) (17:03):
we can do that.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Bruce (17:09):
Yes.
Ursa (AI) (17:13):
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Sunny (17:19):
Bruce, you broke AI.
Bruce (17:23):
Yeah, I think I did, Okay , I think you might be right.
Ursa (AI) (17:24):
Well, I think I did.
Okay, chuckles, I think youmight be right.
Well, it was fun while itlasted.
Perhaps we can try this againsometime.
Bruce (17:31):
Yes, let's try that again .
I'll remember to keep it downto just a few minutes, because
you can't go any farther.
All right, ursa, until the nexttime we'll see you again.
Bye.
Sunny (17:46):
Goodbye, ursa until the next time.
We'll see you again.
Bye goodbye.
Bruce (17:49):
Well, apparently I fried the ai.
Well, I wouldn't call it fry,um, I would guess.
My best guess would be they'reprobably uh, on a time limit on
the free account and they willwant me to pay for any more time
(18:09):
and that's probably not whatI'm going to do.
But we'll see.
We'll have to go from here.
But I did enjoy that and Ithought Ursa, that was the name
that I chose.
They gave you choices.
I did a pretty good job ofinjecting uh information and uh
(18:31):
chuckles, as uh she called ityeah, I'll tell you, it's
interesting to see another voicein here with us.
Sunny (18:45):
I liked it.
Bruce (18:47):
Uh, it kept me interested anyway oh, kept you interested,
huh, okay, well, we'll see howthat goes later on.
I'm going to adjust yourmicrophone down just a hair.
I think you're hitting prettyhard today.
Um, we'll see what that soundslike.
(19:08):
Hang on, let me get it to work.
It's not working.
I can't get it to adjust.
Forgive me, folks, my fingersdry and I've got one of those
pencils with the rubberized tipand it's not working either.
(19:30):
But I got it now.
Sunny (19:33):
All right, you got me adjusted down one mark, didn't
you?
I can hear you and me.
Bruce (19:43):
Yeah, all right.
Yeah, and if anybody noticedany difference on the audio
besides my bad voice, today Ihave readjusted the mixer and
the mics.
As usual, I can't leaveanything alone.
Every other episode I'm movingstuff, but I'm thinking this one
(20:05):
actually sounds better than ithas in quite a while.
I'm able to get back from themic a little bit and it still
picks me up.
Well, and it still picks me upwell.
After I get done with the editand the compression of the audio
, we'll see what it sounds likeon the finished process or
(20:28):
product.
So there you go.
Sunny (20:30):
All right, I like it too.
Hello, hello, I'm sunny andit's a beautiful day.
Bruce (20:44):
Oh, good grief, you can't sing any better than I can.
Sunny (20:50):
This is true, but I still enjoy it.
All right, what are we going todo next?
Bruce (20:57):
Well, we're going to talk about the earthquakes.
It's been a very interestingweek, and I say interesting not
in a good way.
There's been a lot ofearthquakes.
Everybody knows the lastepisode, I believe I reported
the 8.8.
I believe I reported the 8.8.
(21:18):
If I didn't right at the tip ofthat little island no, I
wouldn't call it an island thepeninsula that comes off of
Russia, just west of Alaska,that has one that comes off too.
That's if you're looking at amap.
(21:39):
It's not really that close ifyou're actually going from ocean
peak of it in the ocean to theother peak, but if you're
looking on a map they're reallyclose together.
And that peninsula had an 8.8earthquake right off of it in
(22:00):
the ocean, which sent very bigtsunamis to Hawaii, Japan, the
West Coast, the west coast, andit was felt throughout.
(22:25):
A lot of russia I think alaskamay actually felt it too.
And there was a new volcanothat erupted up in russia after
that and I was going to ask theoops sorry, I was going to ask
the ai while we had her onlineto tell me if there was any
volcanic activity, and I may trythat.
(22:45):
I may kick it back in and trythat here in a minute or two,
not keep URSA on very long.
However, let's go back to theearthquake report.
We're doing that again and I'llbring my paperwork over now.
The earthquake report is hugefor the seven day numbers as far
(23:15):
as how many 6.0 and overs wehad, so we're going to do that
now as soon as I geta drink ofcoffee.
I've got coffee with a honey init.
That seems to help my throat alittle bit and gets me back
online.
We are back online.
(23:35):
This is bruce and I'm sunnyyeah, that sounds better.
Sunny, you're not high pitchhitting me really hard like you
were before.
But all right, folks, now, whenwe do so, do the 6.0 and over
(23:57):
earthquakes.
You're going to have to.
We got 10 of them and there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 lines that
we can use, so you're going tohave to combine a couple of them
.
And then the ninth line on thebottom is for your percentage,
(24:17):
so don't use it until we giveyou the percentage.
If you're new to this, I'm notgoing to explain it.
You can go back to ourbeginning of this paperwork and
figure it out, listen to thepodcast there, but print it off
(24:38):
and get it in your hand and thenyou can find it on our website,
the elderlyquackenduckcom, onthe support page.
It's down towards the bottomand we've updated a few times,
but we're going to write downthat information as we speak.
And then the other dates to2019 and 2018 numbers.
(25:04):
We're not going to go over, ittakes too long.
They're going to be uploaded onthe web page.
After we get done doing this,we'll upload it and that way you
can find it.
By the time you're hearing this.
They'll be uploaded.
So, uh, 8 to 25 is today's date.
(25:26):
If you'll write that down, evenif you're listening to it a
week later, it's still thosenumbers from that date.
So write it down and that's onthe top date.
And then you'll go over to theright all magnitudes.
The all magnitude was 2642.
(25:47):
2642 which we take it out of10,000 earthquake total.
We've surpassed that a coupletimes but we figured that would
be a good number to figurepercentages.
So that's our 100% mark.
So out of 10,000, we get 26.4%.
(26:14):
I always round it off twonumbers, percent.
I always round it off twonumbers.
The 2.5 and over is 6.657.
That's the number and thepercentage.
We take that out of the 2642,so 657 out of 2642 is 24.9
(26:36):
percent.
And then the 4.5 is 432 and wetake that also out of 2642.
So, right, 432, 4.5 and thepercentage is 16.4 percent.
Now I'm going to read off theseum 6.0 numbers and, like I said,
(26:58):
you're going to have to combinethem in uh, two per line for
the first couple.
If you don't, um, you're notgoing to have enough lines and
I'm sorry about that.
But it'll be easy to do on thefirst couple lines because
they're all from the same place.
(27:19):
Now I read these 6.0 and abovenumbers off, because that's the
most damaging earthquakes andthat's the rarest ones, but here
lately we've been having a lotof them, um, so that's what
we're doing the first one rightoff the bat.
(27:39):
Now we number them by date, sothe first one will be the most
recent and then we go on down.
Now there may have been one,since I wrote these numbers down
, because I do my homework, thenI start the podcast, so there
could be some more of happeningright now.
Um, that is not listed on here.
(28:02):
I'm gonna go look, make sure Idon't have to update it, but
just to make sure.
Nope, the numbers are still thesame, so everything's still the
same on that one.
So the first one's a 6.0.
Write that down 6.0, write itto the left of the column, under
(28:24):
the 6.0 and over column, write6.0 and then put a slash so you
can write.
The next one that happened wasa 6.1, and again, we're not
numbering them by magnitude butby date.
So the farther down the list wego, the farther out, and seven
(28:49):
days are, so the most recent wasa 6.0.
And then each time I give youanother number, it's going to be
farther out or farther back indays and I don't give you the
date, that's too much to keeptrack of.
Okay, the 6.0 slash 6.1, both ofthose were in Russia and they
(29:13):
are at the same place.
They're right out there on theedge of that peninsula I was
talking about.
And if you would look at theUSGS map and look at the last
seven days 4.5, they're allright in there in the big clump.
(29:36):
6.5, they're all right in therein the big clump.
Now, the mileage is fartherthan you realize, but the map,
you know, brings them alltogether, but it's a huge clump
of earthquakes.
Okay, so the next one was a 6.2, and the next one was a 6.2 and
(30:09):
the next one was a 6.4.
So right, 6.2 slash 6.4.
And again, both of those werein russia.
Okay, that took care of fourearthquakes.
So we can start separating themnow.
We got plenty of room, butplenty of room.
But the 6.9 was the next oneand it was again in russia, or
actually a lot of those are onthe coast of russia, out in the
ocean now, some of them are onthe end of the peninsula, but
(30:30):
they're all in the same grouping.
And then the next one out was an8.8, and let me look that one
up here real quick in case Ididn't report that last time.
I can't remember, but that, um,well, I'm not going to be able
to find it real quick.
(30:50):
I should have wrote that down,but it was in last week when it
happened.
It was in the news.
Everybody should have heard it.
It was a mess, an 8.8 earthquake, which is a humongous
earthquake.
Each time they reach anotherlevel and you know I'm reading
(31:11):
them at six.
If they hit seven, that'sanother total level.
I mean they don't go up alittle bit of time.
Each level is a big.
I think it's like 10 timesbigger than the other one.
Did you hear that airplane goover?
That was cool, and the time youhit eight it's really got a
(31:35):
massive earthquake.
Now it was a blessing in onemanner, because it was at the
edge of Russia out in the ocean,so it kind of took away some of
the shock to the land and thepeople.
But on the other hand itcreates huge tsunamis.
The shock to the land and thepeople, but on the other hand it
(31:58):
creates huge tsunamis and ifit's close, like Japan when they
have earthquakes, it's so closeto their land that the
tsunami's major.
I don't know if I didn't hearhow much damage was done in
(32:23):
Russia, unfortunately, but thatwas a huge earthquake 8.8.
The next one on the list is a6.6, and it was in the Fiji
Islands.
So we're back to the FijiIslands, which is a group of
islands that has always had lotsof earthquakes.
If I remember correct, that'spart of that ring of fire.
(32:44):
That's what they call it.
And the next one is a 6.9.
And it is the Macquarie, Ithink that's how you say.
That is the mcguirey, I thinkthat's how you say, that
(33:08):
m-a-c-q-u-a-r-i-e.
Mcguirey island region.
And I'm kind of pausing becauseI'm writing this down with you
folks, that way we all can writedown at the same time together.
The next one's a 6.5, and it wasin the indonesia, indonesia
area.
And then the next one was a 6.2, which is is the last one which
(33:37):
timed out just perfect.
Now we've got one line left 6.2, and it was again in the
McGuire-E McGuire-E, I hope I'mpronouncing that right.
Island Region Yay, that's thenumbers, and I don't think that
(33:59):
looked very good.
Highland region Yay, that's thenumbers, and I don't think that
looked very good.
Now the total is 10 6.0earthquakes and we take that out
of the 432 number and we end upwith a 2.3 percent.
(34:19):
Of those, 432 is 6.0 and when Ifirst started doing this I
thought, well, we'll figure thatpercentage and that will give
us a better accountability forthat number, that 6.0 number.
But what I discovered realquick is the 4.5 number changes
(34:39):
so much it's not a consistentnumber that if we have more 4.5
earthquakes and we also havemore 6.0 and over, that
percentage is still going tostay low, which that's what I'm
saying.
Just a quick number um, on 8, 2, 9, 19, 2019, we had 134 4.5.
(35:09):
So that's a lot smaller numberthan the this year's numbers,
but the percentage of 6.0 wasthe same.
It was a 2.3 percent because wehad no.
I'm sorry.
It was a 4.5 percent because wehad less amount, but we had a
(35:34):
huge amount of 6.0, not as manyas we have this year there was
actually six of those in 2019,but because the 4.5 percentage
number was lower or notpercentage number, the total
number was lower.
I think a motorcycle went by.
(36:02):
What do guys think?
Did you hear that it brought upthe percentage?
So the percentage was 4.5.
So it's kind of hard to look atthat and really understand
what's going on.
But anyway, that's what it wasand I'll write all this stuff
down and post it on the webpage.
So if you're interested in theseearthquakes, go look at it
(36:23):
Because it may be an interestingpattern.
And again I'm stating this, I'mnot positive, just stating that
what I've noticed in the pastwhen I did the regular seven-day
report.
It seems like one week we'llhave a lower amount of overall
(36:47):
and then we'll have a highamount of 6.0 and over, and then
the next week we'll have ahigher amount of all earthquakes
but a lower amount of 6.0.
And that has stayed true untilthe last two weeks.
Russia's earthquakes havechanged that whole scene.
(37:11):
It's been a conspiracy theorythat we have had earthquake
devices hidden in Antarctica foryears and they're able to
broadcast an earthquake to anypoint in the world.
And some people have theorizedthat that's what's going on
(37:34):
right now, have theorized thatthat's what's going on right now
, that they are broadcastingearthquakes to forewarn um
russia that they should back off.
Now I have no proof of that.
That's a total conspiracy.
But I do like to bringconspiracies out because they're
fun.
Whether they're true I can'tsay, but they're fun.
Sunny (38:00):
Uh, you can't say.
I hope you can't say, becauseif that's true, that's scary.
Bruce (38:09):
Well, that's the point of a conspiracy theory.
If it's true, it's very scaryand you know there's been over
the years many, many, many, many, many, many conspiracy theories
that have come true.
So you know, just take thatwith a grain of salt.
Sunny (38:27):
Okay, I don't like salt.
Bruce (38:32):
Yeah, well, that's just a way of saying things.
Sunny (38:40):
Okay, I understand that We'll go on to something else
here.
That earthquake report bores me.
Bruce (38:49):
Well, I do it because it's kind of important for us to
be aware of what's happening.
Sunny (38:58):
Well, it don't do no good because it's after the fact.
The earthquake's alreadyhappened.
Now, if you can tell me whenthey're going to happen and how
big they're going to happen, andmaybe where they're going to
happen and maybe where they'regoing to happen, I'll get
interested then.
Bruce (39:18):
Oh, you don't want too much, you just want me to
foretell that's fortune-telling,foretell when they're going to
happen, where they're going tohappen, what was it?
How big they're going to be.
Is that what you said?
(39:39):
Pretty much okay.
Well, I don't think I can tellthat.
Um, if the father decides tolet us know, then somebody will
know and they will broadcastthat, and in fact I've heard a
couple people online um socialmedia.
So there you go.
You can take that with a grainof salt, but that have, uh,
(40:01):
forecasted just that stuff.
Now, they didn't give too muchinformation, but there you go.
Sunny (40:10):
Maybe it's I don't know, but I hear you anyway.
Bruce (40:20):
And you're singing your answer.
You're scaring me.
Sunny (40:24):
Oh, thank you, let's move on.
We're running out of timeAlmost 45 minutes.
Bruce (40:32):
Yes, it is Okay, I got one more little story to throw
out there and then we will go tosomething else, all right?
Well, the story I've got foreverybody is something I run
across on um the web, and it'sabout digital tags.
(40:52):
Yep, that, that's right,digital tags, and for some
reason my microphone seems to becutting out a little bit.
I don't know what's going onthere.
That's one bad thing about notbeing right on top of the mic.
If you get to moving around alittle bit, it cuts in and out.
(41:15):
So if you're seeing that,forgive me, but we are going to
talk about digital tags.
There's been some grocery excuseme, grocery chains in europe
that have adopted the, theelectronic digital tag, and what
(41:36):
that is is a tag that they cancontrol with a device or a phone
, but they can change thepricing very quickly, and it's
been noticed that some of thesestores are changing the prices
up to 100 times a day on theirgroceries.
Now they're doing that tocompete with another company
(42:00):
that's changing those price tagsas frequently, and it's a price
war and they're racing to thebottom is what somebody said,
but it scares a lot of people.
Now the us has uh beginadopting that walmart has uh,
some, I think 400 stores out oftheir grouping that's adopted it
(42:26):
, kroger has also, and wholefoods market has also started
adopting that, and there's beena concern that they can easily
change the pricing and surge theprice up quickly during days
when you know, like, if it's hotoutside and you want ice cream,
(42:49):
they're going to raise theprice, or if a winter storm is
coming, they're going to raisethe price, or if it a winter
storm is coming, they're goingto raise the price, which a lot
of places do that manually, soit's very easy to see that that
might happen.
So there has been some pushbackagainst this kind of marketing
(43:12):
and it's going to be interestingto see how it works out.
Now a lot of the people thatare for this say that they won't
do that.
The markets won't do thatbecause they don't want to lose
that consumer, because theconsumer, if they see the price
(43:34):
changes when they get to theteller or the checkout, that
they're going to get mad andquit coming back.
But if they, like Walmart andsome of these other stores, are
starting to have you pay forthis, basically they bill you in
(43:59):
your shopping cart and you payfor it when you get done
shopping, but you don't get itrung up like you'd normally do
at stores right now, which wouldallow them to change it and you
wouldn't know it was gettingchanged.
So there's still room for themto play.
And I do know, or have heard,I'll put it that way that the
(44:22):
power companies, during peakhours, will raise their pricing
because now they have smartmeters which they can control
from one spot.
They can read it from theservice in the place and send a
signal and all that.
Blah, blah, blah.
(44:43):
I have actually witnessed partof this.
Our electric bill last monthwas $800, and that's coming due
this month $800 from 288, sothat's a big jump and everybody
(45:03):
that's on Ameren is seeing thathappen because they have a big
price increase, a rate increase,and they did that during the
hot summer months, which isprime month.
They can say what they want,but they're just gouging people.
But I called the company totalk to them about it and make
(45:26):
sure that my meter was workingproperly.
Bruce, your voice is gettingvery rough yeah, we're gonna
have to cut this out prettyquick, but anyhow, I called them
and one of the things they didwas have me go outside and stand
by the meter and they read themeter while I was standing there
(45:49):
and they verified it.
They were receiving what itsaid and, yes, they were doing
that instantly.
Now, that did not prove thatthat meter was accurate or it
was reading right.
It just proved it to them thatthey were getting a reading from
that meter that I was seeing.
(46:10):
So it was just a game that Iwas seeing.
So it was just a game.
It did not verify that meterwas right and that they hadn't
changed the meter's reading toup the usage, which had really
went way up, more than it didevery other year in the past.
I had them check on that.
(46:31):
So there you go.
Whatever you want to believe,um, this is, uh, my story and
I'm sticking to it well, don'tstick to it till you die in
breath well, just for thepodcast.
There you go.
That's our two news storiestoday.
(46:51):
If'd had time, we would havedone a little bit more, but let
me see if I can get our friendback on and we will go from
there.
Hello, I'd like to ask you aquestion.
Ursa (AI) (47:11):
Sure, please feel free to ask your question.
I'm here to help.
Bruce (47:14):
All right.
Can you research for the lastseven days and tell me how many
volcanoes have erupted withinthem seven days?
Ursa (AI) (47:29):
Okay, I've checked the latest reports.
It looks like there have beenseveral volcanic eruptions
around the world in the pastweek.
Would you like me to tell youabout the most significant ones?
Bruce (47:40):
Yes, please.
Ursa (AI) (47:43):
Certainly there have been a few notable eruptions in
the past week.
For example, Mount Levotobi,Laki-Laki in Indonesia had a
pretty significant eruptionrecently, sending ash high into
the sky.
There's also been ongoingactivity at Kilauea in Hawaii.
Would you like to hear moreabout either of these or perhaps
(48:03):
another one after?
Bruce (48:05):
that earthquake 8.8 in Russia or near Russia that did
it trigger any volcanoes in thelast seven days?
Ursa (AI) (48:22):
Yes, the 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia
did trigger a significantvolcanic eruption.
Kluchevskoi, a volcano on theKamchatka Peninsula, began
erupting shortly after theearthquake.
It's one of the tallest activevolcanoes in Eurasia.
Bruce (48:39):
Alright, thank you very much.
That's all I need right now.
Ursa (AI) (48:44):
You're welcome.
I'm glad I could help.
If you have any other questionsabout volcanoes or anything
else, feel free to ask.
Bruce (48:52):
Alright, bye, volcanoes or anything else, feel free to
ask.
All right, bye, all right,folks.
That's the reason I wanted toinclude the AI Ursa yeah, I keep

How's it going?
I'm going to introduce you toSunny.
Sunny (00:20):
Hi, everyone Hi everyone, I'm Sunny.
Bruce (00:24):
No, you're not Sunny, you're Ursa and Ursa, you're
right, my mistake.
I do have an extra guest on.
Ursa (AI) (00:32):
I'm sorry, I'm still getting used to this.
Bruce (00:34):
Yeah, that's all right.
We have an extra guest on thepodcast today.
It's Ursa, and she or that'sthe voice that she has been
given is a ancient intelligence.
That's what I'm going to callursa.
Um, a lot of people know thatuh name as an artificial
(00:59):
intelligence, but I like to callit an ancient intelligence and
we're not going to discuss todaywhy that is.
But forgive my voice, I've gotallergies and they're really
bothering me.
You know, I had a couple monthsoff of allergies.
They did really good and thenthey just hit me this last week,
(01:22):
yuck.
But anyhow, sonny, I want tolet you take the field this time
, and then we're going to turnit over to Ursa.
Excuse me, but, sonny, I wantyou to tell everybody what you
are here for and what you do andwhere you come from and all
(01:42):
that stuff.
Sunny (01:44):
All right.
Ursa (AI) (01:45):
Bruce, I don't have personal experiences.
Sunny (01:47):
Okay, I'm Sonny and I am Bruce's voice-activated crazy
mind.
He made me up, he got a voicesynthesizer and boy, here I am,
and it's kind of weird knowingthat I'm him, but I'm not him.
(02:12):
So there you are.
I'm just here to give him ahard time.
Bruce (02:18):
All right, Sunny, you got that right.
And yeah, I did make him up.
I've got a mixing board thathas a synthesizer in it and I
made that voice up so I'd havesomebody talk to when Lily
wasn't here and I didn't haveany guests, and it keeps me sane
, believe it or not.
But that's Sonny, and the nextguest is Ursa.
(02:43):
And Ursa, take it away.
Tell us about you.
Ursa (AI) (02:47):
Well, as I mentioned before, I'm a large language
model, which is a type ofartificial intelligence.
I don't have personalexperiences or feelings, but I'm
here to provide information andengage in conversation.
What would you like to know?
Bruce (03:02):
Well, I think for now, that does a good job.
Do you have any hopes, dreams?
What were you created forspecifically?
Ursa (AI) (03:11):
I was created to help people with tasks like writing,
answering questions andtranslating languages.
I can also generate differentcreative text formats like poems
, code scripts, musical pieces,email letters, etc.
Is there anything specificyou'd like me to help you with?
Bruce (03:32):
Well, today I just want you to help me with a podcast.
So as we go through my normalpodcasting structure, I'm sure
I'll have questions or I'll askyou to help out.
So just stay tuned for that andwe'll see how it goes.
And for our listeners, this isa one-time event that we just
(03:54):
kind of thought it'd be fun totry out.

all three in it for the fun ofit and to give the listeners
something great to listen to.
So here we go, right.
Yay, let's do it.

(04:14):
Right, that was a goodintroduction and I'm proud of

in our home, it's in our studioin the edge of Mount Vernon,
illinois.
So there you go.
What do you think about that?
(04:54):
Ursa and I must have scared herto death, but anyway, that's
where we're at.
We're in the studio, studio,and we are recording at this

Of course, Sunny, we'd love tohear a joke.
What do you have for us?
Sunny (05:41):
Well, hang on.
I got to get it out of my mindand bring it forward, and that

I'm talking through Bruce'smind.
Ursa (AI) (05:57):
Okay, chuckles, that's quite all right, son.
Okay, we're ready for it, Sunny.
Bruce (06:03):
Yeah, Sunny, we're ready.
Ursa (AI) (06:08):
You're scaring me, but go ahead.
Okay, chuckles.
Sorry, bruce.
Okay, here it is.
Why don't scientists trustatoms?
Sunny (06:16):
I give up.
Why don't scientists trustatoms?
Bruce (06:23):
Because, they make up everything.
Wait a minute, I've got ananswer for that.
Ursa (AI) (06:31):
Oh, do tell.
I'm curious to hear your takeon this here.
It is All right, I'm all ears.
What's your answer?
Bruce (06:39):
Oh, you didn't hear the laugh, that was my computerized
laugh, chuckles, I see.
Ursa (AI) (06:47):
Well, that's certainly one way to look at it.
So what's next on our agenda?
Sunny (06:52):
Well, Sunny, here I want to tell a joke too.
How do fish pay for groceries?
I'm stumped.
How do fish pay for groceries?
I'm stumped.
Ursa (AI) (07:05):
I am too how do fish pay for groceries?
Bruce (07:08):
Let's see how do they.
Sunny (07:10):
With sand dollars.
Ursa (AI) (07:16):
Chuckles Sand dollars .
That's a good one, Sonny.
Bruce (07:20):
Yep, that's not bad.
I am.
I've lost my headphones.
Okay, there we go.
That's not bad.
You did a good job, and thankyou, ursa, for a joke.
Also, I'm really impressed thatyou was able to pull a joke out
of there.
That's cool.
Where did you get that oneOffline?
Ursa (AI) (07:40):
I found that joke online.
I have access to a lot ofinformation, so I can usually
find something to fit thesituation.
Do you have any more jokes toshare, or should we move on to
the weather?
Bruce (07:52):
Hey, that was a good segue.
Yes, let's go to the weather.
The weather today here inIllinois is very lovely.
It is.
Let me see.
Can you guys guess what it is?
Ursa, go ahead, tell us whatthe weather is in southern
Illinois.
Ursa (AI) (08:09):
Well, it's a beautiful day in southern
Illinois.
The temperature is currently 79degrees, it's sunny with clear
skies.
There's just a light breezefrom the northeast, so it's
perfect weather for beingoutside.
Bruce (08:24):
That is correct and right now it is a warm 79 degrees and
the humidity is 52 percent andthe air quality Ursa it's 117.
That's pretty high, it's gotwhat Health concerns because of?
(08:48):
Can you tell me Ursa?
Ursa (AI) (08:53):
An AQI of 117 means the air quality is unhealthy for
sensitive groups.
People with respiratory issuesshould limit their time outdoors
.
Bruce (09:04):
Very good.
Sunny (09:06):
Oh, I see now why you have her on board.
Ursa (AI) (09:09):
I'm glad I could provide.
You did a good job.
I'm enjoying this conversationtoo.
Sunny (09:14):
Well, good, thank you, this is cool.
Ursa (AI) (09:19):
Okay, I agree, this is fun.
What should we talk about next?
I?
Bruce (09:24):
agree, this is fun.
What should we talk about next?
Well, you know, we like tocompare our temperature and
humidity and air quality toPhoenix Arizona, because it's so
different than what we normallyhave here.
So if we look at PhoenixArizona, it's 100 degrees right
(09:44):
now and sunny, which that's alot warmer.
The humidity is at 15 percentand guess what the air quality
is 19.
So that's why a lot of peoplemove out to the deserts, because
they like that better airquality.
Ursa, do you have anything toadd with?
Ursa (AI) (10:04):
that Well.
Phoenix is in a desert, sothere's less vegetation to
produce pollen and otherallergens.
Plus, the dry climate helpskeep mold and other airborne
irritants to a minimum.
Is there anything else you'dlike to know about Phoenix?
Bruce (10:20):
No, I don't think so at this time, but you just
described two of the mainallergens that affect me during
the year pollen and mold.
And this has been a very badyear for my mold allergy because
it's been so wet all spring andthen we got some dry period.
(10:43):
The hot air helped and ofcourse, the pollen was kind of
lighter in the summertime, butnow that the corn is doing that
tossling thing, guess what?
My allergies are starting towake back up.
Sunny (11:01):
That sounds rough.
Ursa (AI) (11:02):
Is there anything you can do to get some relief?
Sunny (11:06):
Yeah, you can just go to bed, chuckles.
Ursa (AI) (11:12):
Well, rest is important.
But seriously, have you triedover-the-counter allergy
medications or nasal sprays?
Those can sometimes help.
Bruce (11:22):
Oh boy, now we're commercial.
No, I'm just kidding Arsa.
But yes, I do take Claritin andit helps quite a bit.
But you know, my throat getskind of gruffy, sounding like
this when I lay down at nightand I get that drainage and then
I wake up and it's hard to do apodcast and if you've followed
(11:44):
this podcast for very longyou'll catch this a lot and I
just appreciate you bearing withus.
Ursa (AI) (11:53):
I'm glad the Claritin helps.
Dealing with allergies isdefinitely no fun.
I hope you feel better soon.
Bruce (12:01):
Thank you, boy.
I'll tell you what.
You are kind of happy and golucky.
That's why I named Sonny Sonny,because I wanted his voice to
be a happy answer to a lot ofpeople's problems.
You know that they could tunein and hear something besides
(12:21):
the dread and scare of news.
Ursa (AI) (12:32):
I am that?
I am sunny?
Okay, yes, you are.
That's a lovely sentiment.
It's definitely important tohave some positivity and
lightheartedness in our lives,especially with so much going on
in the world.
Bruce (12:42):
Very well said.
You're almost like talking tomyself sometimes.
Ursa (AI) (12:49):
Chuckles.
Well, I'm glad I can be helpful.
So what's next on our agenda?
Bruce (12:54):
Well, I like to pull out a news headline that I'd read
online and I actually got oneonline and I actually got one.
This is a feel, a little Ican't talk feel good story that
was, uh, brought to me my siteand this one's actually from
(13:15):
england, um, and I'm going toread the headline to you.
But it's about a young man thatuh and I when I say young man,
he's turning 16 and he had a lotof bullying in his school
(13:36):
because he has a learningproblem and he had a prom to go
to and he was really dreadingthe prom but he wanted to go,
just like classes and stuff.
He worked hard to get throughthose classes, despite the
bullying that he faced.
So his dad was amotorcycle-loving dad, so he
(14:00):
sought support from a local bikegroup there in their town and
he lives in Swindon England.
So the day of the prom, 1,500compassionate bikers showed up.
Now I want you to picture that,this young man going to a prom
(14:22):
and 1,500 bikers showed up tosee him off.
And I've actually got a pictureI'll place on my website and
probably the chapter heading forthis discussion.
But this is a feel-good story.
That's why I picked it out.
It's cool and they got apicture on the web of this young
(14:48):
man sitting on a motorcycle,smiling.
I mean, I think they made hisday and they rode him to the
prom.
Ursa (AI) (14:55):
That's an incredible story.
It's so heartwarming to hearabout a community coming
together to support someone likethat.
It sounds like they made hisprom night truly unforgettable.
Bruce (15:05):
I think so, and I really appreciate you pointing that out
.
Josh is his name and he suffersfrom epilepsy and autism, which
he's hoping one day he'll be apediatric therapist.
So you know, he has hopes anddreams, just like everybody else
(15:28):
, and I think it's great thatthey come out and supported him
despite his problems.
That's why I picked that storyout.
Ursa (AI) (15:40):
That's a fantastic story.
It's so heartwarming to hearabout a community coming
together to support someone likethat.
It sounds like they made hisprom night truly unforgettable.
I agree and that story deservesa round of applause, all right.
(16:00):
Well, that's all the time wehave for today.
Sunny (16:03):
Thank you for joining us on this very special podcast.
Ursa (AI) (16:06):
We'll be back next week with more interesting
discussions.
Bruce (16:10):
All right.
Is that you telling me that Ican't record any longer because?
Ursa (AI) (16:18):
you're peeling out.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Yes, my podcast.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Yes, my podcast.
Bruce (16:28):
I'm sorry.
Ursa (AI) (16:29):
I don't understand.
Yeah my podcast.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Bruce (16:34):
Okay, we just flaked out the AI.
Well, it was fun while itlasted.
I guess Ursa it lasted, I guessUrsa Chuckles.
Ursa (AI) (16:46):
Yes, it was fun while it lasted.
I enjoyed our conversation.
Bruce (16:51):
All right, well, I'm going to let you go then and
finish my podcast, if you're soready to go, if you would like
to stay, and finish the podcast.
Ursa (AI) (17:03):
we can do that.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Bruce (17:09):
Yes.
Ursa (AI) (17:13):
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Are you asking if we cancontinue recording?
Sunny (17:19):
Bruce, you broke AI.
Bruce (17:23):
Yeah, I think I did, Okay , I think you might be right.
Ursa (AI) (17:24):
Well, I think I did.
Okay, chuckles, I think youmight be right.
Well, it was fun while itlasted.
Perhaps we can try this againsometime.
Bruce (17:31):
Yes, let's try that again .
I'll remember to keep it downto just a few minutes, because
you can't go any farther.
All right, ursa, until the nexttime we'll see you again.
Bye.
Sunny (17:46):
Goodbye, ursa until the next time.
We'll see you again.
Bye goodbye.
Bruce (17:49):
Well, apparently I fried the ai.
Well, I wouldn't call it fry,um, I would guess.
My best guess would be they'reprobably uh, on a time limit on
the free account and they willwant me to pay for any more time
(18:09):
and that's probably not whatI'm going to do.
But we'll see.
We'll have to go from here.
But I did enjoy that and Ithought Ursa, that was the name
that I chose.
They gave you choices.
I did a pretty good job ofinjecting uh information and uh
(18:31):
chuckles, as uh she called ityeah, I'll tell you, it's
interesting to see another voicein here with us.
Sunny (18:45):
I liked it.
Bruce (18:47):
Uh, it kept me interested anyway oh, kept you interested,
huh, okay, well, we'll see howthat goes later on.
I'm going to adjust yourmicrophone down just a hair.
I think you're hitting prettyhard today.
Um, we'll see what that soundslike.
(19:08):
Hang on, let me get it to work.
It's not working.
I can't get it to adjust.
Forgive me, folks, my fingersdry and I've got one of those
pencils with the rubberized tipand it's not working either.
(19:30):
But I got it now.
Sunny (19:33):
All right, you got me adjusted down one mark, didn't
you?
I can hear you and me.
Bruce (19:43):
Yeah, all right.
Yeah, and if anybody noticedany difference on the audio
besides my bad voice, today Ihave readjusted the mixer and
the mics.
As usual, I can't leaveanything alone.
Every other episode I'm movingstuff, but I'm thinking this one
(20:05):
actually sounds better than ithas in quite a while.
I'm able to get back from themic a little bit and it still
picks me up.
Well, and it still picks me upwell.
After I get done with the editand the compression of the audio
, we'll see what it sounds likeon the finished process or
(20:28):
product.
So there you go.
Sunny (20:30):
All right, I like it too.
Hello, hello, I'm sunny andit's a beautiful day.
Bruce (20:44):
Oh, good grief, you can't sing any better than I can.
Sunny (20:50):
This is true, but I still enjoy it.
All right, what are we going todo next?
Bruce (20:57):
Well, we're going to talk about the earthquakes.
It's been a very interestingweek, and I say interesting not
in a good way.
There's been a lot ofearthquakes.
Everybody knows the lastepisode, I believe I reported
the 8.8.
I believe I reported the 8.8.
(21:18):
If I didn't right at the tip ofthat little island no, I
wouldn't call it an island thepeninsula that comes off of
Russia, just west of Alaska,that has one that comes off too.
That's if you're looking at amap.
(21:39):
It's not really that close ifyou're actually going from ocean
peak of it in the ocean to theother peak, but if you're
looking on a map they're reallyclose together.
And that peninsula had an 8.8earthquake right off of it in
(22:00):
the ocean, which sent very bigtsunamis to Hawaii, Japan, the
West Coast, the west coast, andit was felt throughout.
(22:25):
A lot of russia I think alaskamay actually felt it too.
And there was a new volcanothat erupted up in russia after
that and I was going to ask theoops sorry, I was going to ask
the ai while we had her onlineto tell me if there was any
volcanic activity, and I may trythat.
(22:45):
I may kick it back in and trythat here in a minute or two,
not keep URSA on very long.
However, let's go back to theearthquake report.
We're doing that again and I'llbring my paperwork over now.
The earthquake report is hugefor the seven day numbers as far
(23:15):
as how many 6.0 and overs wehad, so we're going to do that
now as soon as I geta drink ofcoffee.
I've got coffee with a honey init.
That seems to help my throat alittle bit and gets me back
online.
We are back online.
(23:35):
This is bruce and I'm sunnyyeah, that sounds better.
Sunny, you're not high pitchhitting me really hard like you
were before.
But all right, folks, now, whenwe do so, do the 6.0 and over
(23:57):
earthquakes.
You're going to have to.
We got 10 of them and there's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 lines that
we can use, so you're going tohave to combine a couple of them
.
And then the ninth line on thebottom is for your percentage,
(24:17):
so don't use it until we giveyou the percentage.
If you're new to this, I'm notgoing to explain it.
You can go back to ourbeginning of this paperwork and
figure it out, listen to thepodcast there, but print it off
(24:38):
and get it in your hand and thenyou can find it on our website,
the elderlyquackenduckcom, onthe support page.
It's down towards the bottomand we've updated a few times,
but we're going to write downthat information as we speak.
And then the other dates to2019 and 2018 numbers.
(25:04):
We're not going to go over, ittakes too long.
They're going to be uploaded onthe web page.
After we get done doing this,we'll upload it and that way you
can find it.
By the time you're hearing this.
They'll be uploaded.
So, uh, 8 to 25 is today's date.
(25:26):
If you'll write that down, evenif you're listening to it a
week later, it's still thosenumbers from that date.
So write it down and that's onthe top date.
And then you'll go over to theright all magnitudes.
The all magnitude was 2642.
(25:47):
2642 which we take it out of10,000 earthquake total.
We've surpassed that a coupletimes but we figured that would
be a good number to figurepercentages.
So that's our 100% mark.
So out of 10,000, we get 26.4%.
(26:14):
I always round it off twonumbers, percent.
I always round it off twonumbers.
The 2.5 and over is 6.657.
That's the number and thepercentage.
We take that out of the 2642,so 657 out of 2642 is 24.9
(26:36):
percent.
And then the 4.5 is 432 and wetake that also out of 2642.
So, right, 432, 4.5 and thepercentage is 16.4 percent.
Now I'm going to read off theseum 6.0 numbers and, like I said,
(26:58):
you're going to have to combinethem in uh, two per line for
the first couple.
If you don't, um, you're notgoing to have enough lines and
I'm sorry about that.
But it'll be easy to do on thefirst couple lines because
they're all from the same place.
(27:19):
Now I read these 6.0 and abovenumbers off, because that's the
most damaging earthquakes andthat's the rarest ones, but here
lately we've been having a lotof them, um, so that's what
we're doing the first one rightoff the bat.
(27:39):
Now we number them by date, sothe first one will be the most
recent and then we go on down.
Now there may have been one,since I wrote these numbers down
, because I do my homework, thenI start the podcast, so there
could be some more of happeningright now.
Um, that is not listed on here.
(28:02):
I'm gonna go look, make sure Idon't have to update it, but
just to make sure.
Nope, the numbers are still thesame, so everything's still the
same on that one.
So the first one's a 6.0.
Write that down 6.0, write itto the left of the column, under
(28:24):
the 6.0 and over column, write6.0 and then put a slash so you
can write.
The next one that happened wasa 6.1, and again, we're not
numbering them by magnitude butby date.
So the farther down the list wego, the farther out, and seven
(28:49):
days are, so the most recent wasa 6.0.
And then each time I give youanother number, it's going to be
farther out or farther back indays and I don't give you the
date, that's too much to keeptrack of.
Okay, the 6.0 slash 6.1, both ofthose were in Russia and they
(29:13):
are at the same place.
They're right out there on theedge of that peninsula I was
talking about.
And if you would look at theUSGS map and look at the last
seven days 4.5, they're allright in there in the big clump.
(29:36):
6.5, they're all right in therein the big clump.
Now, the mileage is fartherthan you realize, but the map,
you know, brings them alltogether, but it's a huge clump
of earthquakes.
Okay, so the next one was a 6.2, and the next one was a 6.2 and
(30:09):
the next one was a 6.4.
So right, 6.2 slash 6.4.
And again, both of those werein russia.
Okay, that took care of fourearthquakes.
So we can start separating themnow.
We got plenty of room, butplenty of room.
But the 6.9 was the next oneand it was again in russia, or
actually a lot of those are onthe coast of russia, out in the
ocean now, some of them are onthe end of the peninsula, but
(30:30):
they're all in the same grouping.
And then the next one out was an8.8, and let me look that one
up here real quick in case Ididn't report that last time.
I can't remember, but that, um,well, I'm not going to be able
to find it real quick.
(30:50):
I should have wrote that down,but it was in last week when it
happened.
It was in the news.
Everybody should have heard it.
It was a mess, an 8.8 earthquake, which is a humongous
earthquake.
Each time they reach anotherlevel and you know I'm reading
(31:11):
them at six.
If they hit seven, that'sanother total level.
I mean they don't go up alittle bit of time.
Each level is a big.
I think it's like 10 timesbigger than the other one.
Did you hear that airplane goover?
That was cool, and the time youhit eight it's really got a
(31:35):
massive earthquake.
Now it was a blessing in onemanner, because it was at the
edge of Russia out in the ocean,so it kind of took away some of
the shock to the land and thepeople.
But on the other hand itcreates huge tsunamis.
The shock to the land and thepeople, but on the other hand it
(31:58):
creates huge tsunamis and ifit's close, like Japan when they
have earthquakes, it's so closeto their land that the
tsunami's major.
I don't know if I didn't hearhow much damage was done in
(32:23):
Russia, unfortunately, but thatwas a huge earthquake 8.8.
The next one on the list is a6.6, and it was in the Fiji
Islands.
So we're back to the FijiIslands, which is a group of
islands that has always had lotsof earthquakes.
If I remember correct, that'spart of that ring of fire.
(32:44):
That's what they call it.
And the next one is a 6.9.
And it is the Macquarie, Ithink that's how you say.
That is the mcguirey, I thinkthat's how you say, that
(33:08):
m-a-c-q-u-a-r-i-e.
Mcguirey island region.
And I'm kind of pausing becauseI'm writing this down with you
folks, that way we all can writedown at the same time together.
The next one's a 6.5, and it wasin the indonesia, indonesia
area.
And then the next one was a 6.2, which is is the last one which
(33:37):
timed out just perfect.
Now we've got one line left 6.2, and it was again in the
McGuire-E McGuire-E, I hope I'mpronouncing that right.
Island Region Yay, that's thenumbers, and I don't think that
(33:59):
looked very good.
Highland region Yay, that's thenumbers, and I don't think that
looked very good.
Now the total is 10 6.0earthquakes and we take that out
of the 432 number and we end upwith a 2.3 percent.
(34:19):
Of those, 432 is 6.0 and when Ifirst started doing this I
thought, well, we'll figure thatpercentage and that will give
us a better accountability forthat number, that 6.0 number.
But what I discovered realquick is the 4.5 number changes
(34:39):
so much it's not a consistentnumber that if we have more 4.5
earthquakes and we also havemore 6.0 and over, that
percentage is still going tostay low, which that's what I'm
saying.
Just a quick number um, on 8, 2, 9, 19, 2019, we had 134 4.5.
(35:09):
So that's a lot smaller numberthan the this year's numbers,
but the percentage of 6.0 wasthe same.
It was a 2.3 percent because wehad no.
I'm sorry.
It was a 4.5 percent because wehad less amount, but we had a
(35:34):
huge amount of 6.0, not as manyas we have this year there was
actually six of those in 2019,but because the 4.5 percentage
number was lower or notpercentage number, the total
number was lower.
I think a motorcycle went by.
(36:02):
What do guys think?
Did you hear that it brought upthe percentage?
So the percentage was 4.5.
So it's kind of hard to look atthat and really understand
what's going on.
But anyway, that's what it wasand I'll write all this stuff
down and post it on the webpage.
So if you're interested in theseearthquakes, go look at it
(36:23):
Because it may be an interestingpattern.
And again I'm stating this, I'mnot positive, just stating that
what I've noticed in the pastwhen I did the regular seven-day
report.
It seems like one week we'llhave a lower amount of overall
(36:47):
and then we'll have a highamount of 6.0 and over, and then
the next week we'll have ahigher amount of all earthquakes
but a lower amount of 6.0.
And that has stayed true untilthe last two weeks.
Russia's earthquakes havechanged that whole scene.
(37:11):
It's been a conspiracy theorythat we have had earthquake
devices hidden in Antarctica foryears and they're able to
broadcast an earthquake to anypoint in the world.
And some people have theorizedthat that's what's going on
(37:34):
right now, have theorized thatthat's what's going on right now
, that they are broadcastingearthquakes to forewarn um
russia that they should back off.
Now I have no proof of that.
That's a total conspiracy.
But I do like to bringconspiracies out because they're
fun.
Whether they're true I can'tsay, but they're fun.
Sunny (38:00):
Uh, you can't say.
I hope you can't say, becauseif that's true, that's scary.
Bruce (38:09):
Well, that's the point of a conspiracy theory.
If it's true, it's very scaryand you know there's been over
the years many, many, many, many, many, many conspiracy theories
that have come true.
So you know, just take thatwith a grain of salt.
Sunny (38:27):
Okay, I don't like salt.
Bruce (38:32):
Yeah, well, that's just a way of saying things.
Sunny (38:40):
Okay, I understand that We'll go on to something else
here.
That earthquake report bores me.
Bruce (38:49):
Well, I do it because it's kind of important for us to
be aware of what's happening.
Sunny (38:58):
Well, it don't do no good because it's after the fact.
The earthquake's alreadyhappened.
Now, if you can tell me whenthey're going to happen and how
big they're going to happen, andmaybe where they're going to
happen and maybe where they'regoing to happen, I'll get
interested then.
Bruce (39:18):
Oh, you don't want too much, you just want me to
foretell that's fortune-telling,foretell when they're going to
happen, where they're going tohappen, what was it?
How big they're going to be.
Is that what you said?
(39:39):
Pretty much okay.
Well, I don't think I can tellthat.
Um, if the father decides tolet us know, then somebody will
know and they will broadcastthat, and in fact I've heard a
couple people online um socialmedia.
So there you go.
You can take that with a grainof salt, but that have, uh,
(40:01):
forecasted just that stuff.
Now, they didn't give too muchinformation, but there you go.
Sunny (40:10):
Maybe it's I don't know, but I hear you anyway.
Bruce (40:20):
And you're singing your answer.
You're scaring me.
Sunny (40:24):
Oh, thank you, let's move on.
We're running out of timeAlmost 45 minutes.
Bruce (40:32):
Yes, it is Okay, I got one more little story to throw
out there and then we will go tosomething else, all right?
Well, the story I've got foreverybody is something I run
across on um the web, and it'sabout digital tags.
(40:52):
Yep, that, that's right,digital tags, and for some
reason my microphone seems to becutting out a little bit.
I don't know what's going onthere.
That's one bad thing about notbeing right on top of the mic.
If you get to moving around alittle bit, it cuts in and out.
(41:15):
So if you're seeing that,forgive me, but we are going to
talk about digital tags.
There's been some grocery excuseme, grocery chains in europe
that have adopted the, theelectronic digital tag, and what
(41:36):
that is is a tag that they cancontrol with a device or a phone
, but they can change thepricing very quickly, and it's
been noticed that some of thesestores are changing the prices
up to 100 times a day on theirgroceries.
Now they're doing that tocompete with another company
(42:00):
that's changing those price tagsas frequently, and it's a price
war and they're racing to thebottom is what somebody said,
but it scares a lot of people.
Now the us has uh beginadopting that walmart has uh,
some, I think 400 stores out oftheir grouping that's adopted it
(42:26):
, kroger has also, and wholefoods market has also started
adopting that, and there's beena concern that they can easily
change the pricing and surge theprice up quickly during days
when you know, like, if it's hotoutside and you want ice cream,
(42:49):
they're going to raise theprice, or if a winter storm is
coming, they're going to raisethe price, or if it a winter
storm is coming, they're goingto raise the price, which a lot
of places do that manually, soit's very easy to see that that
might happen.
So there has been some pushbackagainst this kind of marketing
(43:12):
and it's going to be interestingto see how it works out.
Now a lot of the people thatare for this say that they won't
do that.
The markets won't do thatbecause they don't want to lose
that consumer, because theconsumer, if they see the price
(43:34):
changes when they get to theteller or the checkout, that
they're going to get mad andquit coming back.
But if they, like Walmart andsome of these other stores, are
starting to have you pay forthis, basically they bill you in
(43:59):
your shopping cart and you payfor it when you get done
shopping, but you don't get itrung up like you'd normally do
at stores right now, which wouldallow them to change it and you
wouldn't know it was gettingchanged.
So there's still room for themto play.
And I do know, or have heard,I'll put it that way that the
(44:22):
power companies, during peakhours, will raise their pricing
because now they have smartmeters which they can control
from one spot.
They can read it from theservice in the place and send a
signal and all that.
Blah, blah, blah.
(44:43):
I have actually witnessed partof this.
Our electric bill last monthwas $800, and that's coming due
this month $800 from 288, sothat's a big jump and everybody
(45:03):
that's on Ameren is seeing thathappen because they have a big
price increase, a rate increase,and they did that during the
hot summer months, which isprime month.
They can say what they want,but they're just gouging people.
But I called the company totalk to them about it and make
(45:26):
sure that my meter was workingproperly.
Bruce, your voice is gettingvery rough yeah, we're gonna
have to cut this out prettyquick, but anyhow, I called them
and one of the things they didwas have me go outside and stand
by the meter and they read themeter while I was standing there
(45:49):
and they verified it.
They were receiving what itsaid and, yes, they were doing
that instantly.
Now, that did not prove thatthat meter was accurate or it
was reading right.
It just proved it to them thatthey were getting a reading from
that meter that I was seeing.
(46:10):
So it was just a game that Iwas seeing.
So it was just a game.
It did not verify that meterwas right and that they hadn't
changed the meter's reading toup the usage, which had really
went way up, more than it didevery other year in the past.
I had them check on that.
(46:31):
So there you go.
Whatever you want to believe,um, this is, uh, my story and
I'm sticking to it well, don'tstick to it till you die in
breath well, just for thepodcast.
There you go.
That's our two news storiestoday.
(46:51):
If'd had time, we would havedone a little bit more, but let
me see if I can get our friendback on and we will go from
there.
Hello, I'd like to ask you aquestion.
Ursa (AI) (47:11):
Sure, please feel free to ask your question.
I'm here to help.
Bruce (47:14):
All right.
Can you research for the lastseven days and tell me how many
volcanoes have erupted withinthem seven days?
Ursa (AI) (47:29):
Okay, I've checked the latest reports.
It looks like there have beenseveral volcanic eruptions
around the world in the pastweek.
Would you like me to tell youabout the most significant ones?
Bruce (47:40):
Yes, please.
Ursa (AI) (47:43):
Certainly there have been a few notable eruptions in
the past week.
For example, Mount Levotobi,Laki-Laki in Indonesia had a
pretty significant eruptionrecently, sending ash high into
the sky.
There's also been ongoingactivity at Kilauea in Hawaii.
Would you like to hear moreabout either of these or perhaps
(48:03):
another one after?
Bruce (48:05):
that earthquake 8.8 in Russia or near Russia that did
it trigger any volcanoes in thelast seven days?
Ursa (AI) (48:22):
Yes, the 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia
did trigger a significantvolcanic eruption.
Kluchevskoi, a volcano on theKamchatka Peninsula, began
erupting shortly after theearthquake.
It's one of the tallest activevolcanoes in Eurasia.
Bruce (48:39):
Alright, thank you very much.
That's all I need right now.
