Bruce (00:00):
They are dropping like flies.
Sunny (00:03):
Who is they?
And why are they dropping likeflies?
Capella (00:09):
Welcome to the Ugly Quacking Doug Podcast, the worst
podcast in the unknownuniverse.
Or at least that's what somepeople say.
We prefer to think of ourselvesas charmingly rough around the
edges.
We're passionate aboutpodcasting and the value for
value model, where creators andlisteners connect directly.
We believe in keeping ourcontent free and open to
everyone, because who needsanother paywall, right?
Bruce (00:31):
Hello, everyone.
This is Bruce.
We're with the Ugly QuackingDuck Podcast.
Sunny (00:38):
And I'm Sunny, and I'm with the Ugly Quacking Duck
Podcast.
Bruce (00:44):
Okay.
Wow.
Yeah.
You are listening to the UglyQuacking Duck Podcast.
We're glad you're aboard.
If this is the first time youfound our podcast, this episode,
we're glad you found us, and wehope you stick around.
And if you've been here before,welcome back.
And I think you know whatyou're in for.
This is the worst podcast inthe unknown universe.
Sunny (01:09):
Yep, and we prove that every episode.
Bruce (01:14):
Yeah, we do.
Speaking of episode, this isepisode 127.
Uh, we are recording it in theMidwest, Southern Illinois
studio.
You know what that means?
Uh no.
It means we're recording it inthe never mind.
(01:35):
Oh, brother.
So did anybody notice anyproblems on October the 20th,
which was a Monday with any ofthe internet people.
Maybe you had a business andall of a sudden you didn't get
on the internet.
There was a bunch of crashes.
A bunch of problems happenedthanks to Amazon cloud crash.
(01:59):
Yep, their cloud crashed.
Cloud crash.
That just sounds really weird.
Sunny (02:07):
Oh, I think you're being weird anyway, but what do you
mean it crashed?
Bruce (02:12):
Well, they just had a little bit of interruption
problems on their cloud.
Amazon did.
Their computing serviceaffected many people.
And uh so if you had uh anykind of problems that day,
that's more than likely where itcame from.
Sunny (02:30):
Well, I'm glad I wasn't on the internet.
Yeah, there you go.
Bruce (02:34):
Yeah, well, a few people that was working had to have the
internet and it messed up someof the uh work environments,
some of the social media, andsome of the video games too,
also processed through theircloud service.
So Amazon really stuck it toyou, man.
Sunny (02:56):
Well, while you're sticking it to us, Bruce, what's
that uh phrase that you said atthe beginning of this episode?
Uh let me think about it.
They are dropping like flies.
And I asked, Who are they?
And why are they dropping likeflies?
Bruce (03:19):
Well, I'll tell you, Sunny, that's just an old
saying.
And the article I read uh justbefore I got on the recording
studio was about uh flies beingdropped.
So it kind of reminded me ofthat old saying.
That's why I started out withthat.
They are dropping like flies.
(03:39):
But actually, what was going onwas uh 1440 had an article
along with a video where they'redropping billions of flies from
the sky.
That's right.
The government is doing that.
Why you say?
Well, because I guess there's abunch of screw worm maggots
(04:02):
that are eating animals alive.
And and I know I saved this forHalloween because it actually
happened uh quite a ways back.
The article was, uh, but itsounds like a scary movie,
really.
But what happens is these fliesuh lay eggs on animals and
(04:25):
stuff, and they hatch, and themaggots that grow out of them
bore burrow into these animals,alive animals now, and they
start eating the flesh.
So they come up with thisbrilliant plan.
I hope it's brilliant, andthey're gonna drop a billion
flies from the sky on thesefarms, and it's gonna cause a
(04:50):
depopulation because they'regonna overstimulate, basically
just wipe out the generation.
Uh, because you know they havebabies all the time, they're
about like rabbits.
Sounds kind of bizarre to me,but I thought, hey, why not?
Again, I got that from 1440.
Uh they're a pretty good littleplace to get weird stories.
(05:13):
A lot of my weird stories comefrom them, and I go look them
up, see where they're actuallyfrom.
If you want to check them out,go to join 1440.com.
You can actually put in youremail address and they'll send
you an email every day.
And it's pretty cool.
Sunny (05:33):
All right, pretty cool.
I like how you say that.
You don't get excited, do you?
Bruce (05:39):
I am excited.
It's Halloween night, and themonsters are out.
Sunny (05:46):
Oh my goodness.
We are possessed by bruise.
Bruce (05:55):
Oh, you're so funny.
I hope everybody's doing well,and this uh podcast episode
finds you in a good place.
And if it doesn't, I hope thisweirdness takes you away from
your normal problems and youhave a little bit of peace.
Maybe it won't last long, youknow, however long the episode
(06:16):
is, but maybe you'll get alittle bit of peace.
And while we're talking about alittle bit of peace, my
schedule is changing.
As of November the first, I'mdoing a switcheroo at work,
which means I'm gonna be thereless.
Uh hopefully about three timesa day a week, three days a week.
(06:39):
If it works out, that means Iwill be changing when I do the
podcast recording, the episode.
Um right now I try to do it onweekends because I I usually get
Friday and Sunday off, butthat's gonna change.
In fact, next weekend I workFriday and Saturday both.
(07:04):
And then I don't know what I'mgonna be working from that point
on.
We'll just have to wait andsee.
But hopefully it will give memore time to do my homework and
prepare for the episode a littlebit better when I start
recording, and actually give memore time to do other things
(07:25):
too.
So that's the plan.
We'll see what that you know,plans are liable to change as
you go, and that's what we'rehoping uh to be in effect, but
who knows?
What that means to you is onceI figured out what my schedule
is and how it's gonna work out,I may have to change when I put
(07:49):
the podcast out, but I will letyou know, and you know, it'll
probably happen that way.
As of right now, I am doing um,I'm gonna try to do about three
hours a month, and that willmean probably uh an hour one
week, another hour, anotherweek, and then maybe two
(08:11):
30-minute uh episodes.
We'll just have to wait and seehow that works out.
Again, it's uh in a plan, we'llhave to wait and see.
Sunny (08:24):
And how do I fit into this plan?
Are you kicking me to the curb?
Bruce (08:29):
Not at all, not at all.
You're gonna be right therewith me, so whenever I get a
moment to figure this out, I'lllet you know so you can show up
and we can record together as wehave always done.
And if you don't show up, I maystart without you.
Sunny (08:48):
Oh, that's not fair.
What if I don't want to showup, but you Oh, wait a minute,
that won't work.
You're still gonna leave meout.
That's not fair.
Bruce (09:00):
Oh, don't worry about it.
You know I'm not gonna leaveyou out.
I'll be right here waiting onyou to get here so we can record
because we are a team.
Sunny (09:10):
Oh boy, I'm part of a team.
Yay!
Bruce (09:15):
Yep, it may be the worst podcast in the unknown universe,
but we still do it together,and that's a good thing.
Sunny (09:22):
Yeah, it is.
Yay, yay, go us, go us.
Bruce (09:27):
Okay, don't get too carried away.
Don't know how this newschedule is gonna work out, so
bear with me.
We got the holidays going onthis coming month.
We got Thanksgiving, thenthere's Christmas, New Year's,
everybody's gonna be busy.
I'm gonna try to put outepisodes as I normally do.
(09:48):
We'll just have to wait and seehow they work out.
But hopefully that's what'sgonna happen.
But right now, if you didn'tnotice, uh, I took a week out of
uh my last podcast.
It was a couple weeks ago, andI kind of you know did that on
purpose.
How I'm gonna work it part ofthe time.
(10:11):
So don't get too used to haveme every week.
Uh I don't know if that's gonnahappen, but we'll see.
All right?
That sounds good?
I hope so.
You have any Slack you want togive me, just email me.
You know, you can do the uglyquacking duck at gmail.com and
(10:32):
we'll get an email.
And if you want, you can sendme a text.
You just go to a podcast playerversion two, and you can just
there right there in thedescription, it'll say, send me
a text.
Click on it, send me a text.
I'll give you a shout out nextepisode.
There you go.
What do you think about that,Sunny?
Sunny (10:54):
I think you need to do that, but we need to have
somebody send us one, right?
Bruce (11:00):
Yeah, that there's a kind of a flaw in that that we have
to have somebody send us a textbefore we can give them a shout.
Yep, we have to give them ashout out afterwards.
But anyhow, hey, what do youthink about the weather, mister?
Sunny (11:16):
Well, I think it was cool and wet and yucky for like
three days, but yesterday andtoday, woo wee, it was nice.
Bruce (11:29):
You can say that again, but don't.
Don't say it.
It was nice.
It was awesome.
Uh today it got up to 62degrees and the sun was shining
and it felt good.
I really enjoy those days.
I hope you guys all got toenjoy that too.
I know different parts of thecountry has had different
(11:52):
weather and it's really stunk.
We had a little bit of sunshinefor once.
And while we're talking aboutuh weather being bad around
here, you know, for the last fewdays, and then we got sunshine.
Uh, we'd need to talk a littlebit about Hurricane Melissa.
Sunny (12:13):
Hurricane Melissa! Did you come up with that name,
Bruce?
Bruce (12:18):
Nope, I did not.
There was a there's a groupthat does that, and they that's
their deal.
But Hurricane Melissa wentright across Jamaica, and it was
a mess.
It uh was a very slow movinghurricane, and the last count I
(12:41):
had they said at least 19 peoplehave died in Jamaica as a
result of that hurricane, andthere's many videos out showing
the destruction.
Um, like I said, it was aslow-moving hurricane.
Uh, we got to watch a littlebit of it because that guy that
we watch, uh Ryan Hall, you allon YouTube, if you haven't
(13:07):
looked him up yet, look him up,join his YouTube, stay with him,
because he's with you everytime there's a bad storm, and
it's very nice.
But he had a gentleman outthere in Jamaica that had a
camera, and he was tied intothat, and he was playing it on
(13:29):
his uh YouTube channel, and itwas um pretty interesting until
it wasn't, and then it just gotbad.
But anyway, our prayers are outfor people in Jamaica, and it
was supposed to go on and hitBermuda after that.
We're not sure we're not surewhat I was gonna say, the
(13:51):
outcome of that hurricanehitting Bermuda, but supposedly
it was heading there afterwards.
But I just read a headline thatsays there's 49 now dead in Cor
Caribbean after that Melissahits.
So pray for them people, prayfor them to be able to get help
(14:13):
and to get built back up.
That's a beautiful country andbeautiful people there, and they
are taken advantage of justlike everybody else when there's
a disaster.
So keep Jamaica and the rest ofthe Caribbean in your prayers
concerning them disasters thatthey've had to go through.
(14:35):
All right, we appreciate it.
Sunny (14:38):
All right, Bruce.
That's a good one.
I've got to give you a shoutout for that, because them
people had to suffer and aregonna suffer from a long more
time.
Bruce (14:52):
You mean a lot more time?
Sunny (14:54):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Bruce (14:57):
Okay, okay.
Well, we don't want to bringanybody down that's listened to
the podcast, but if you've got agood heart, you're gonna feel
some pain, and then you're gonnaget busy and you're gonna try
to help those people.
There's several different waysto do it, but so the weather was
kind of lousy for those peoplefor sure.
(15:19):
Not very good at all.
But it was uh better here, andwe are very thankful for that.
And uh so far, Spokane,Washington has had quite a bit
of weird weather, but they've uhthey're at 45 right now.
Uh, they got up to 46 today.
(15:40):
Oh, I don't like the cold, andit's gonna be cloudy most of the
night or day tomorrow, also,the way it looks.
We'll have to check in on themagain.
But uh one of our listenerswants us to shout out to Spokane
when we do an episode and tellwhat the weather's there like.
(16:03):
So they are at 45, which you'rethere at Spokane, so you know
that.
For everybody else, that'swhere they're at right now, and
they're supposed to get down toabout 43 tonight, and then
tomorrow it's predicting, readyfor this Saturday, which is
November the 1st, a new month,everybody.
(16:26):
A new month.
Sunny (16:30):
Oh my goodness, you getting excited?
Bruce (16:33):
Well, you know, October just kind of blew away.
Uh I don't know what happened.
I mean, like I used to tellpeople at work, I'm still in
spring getting ready for allthis rain to go away, and all of
a sudden we're in October, andI don't know what's going on,
but I'm tired of it flying by sobad.
(16:54):
But anyhow, Saturday forSpokane, they're giving weather
shower or they're giving showersin the weather most of the day,
uh, and then cloudy the rest ofthe day.
So boo.
The temperature's supposed togo up, though.
They're gonna get around 58 fora high.
That'll probably be later on inthe afternoon.
(17:16):
That's what they're having fortoday and tomorrow.
And us, we're about the same asbefore.
We hit 50, what, 62 today?
It's 50 right now, and thentomorrow it's supposed to be.
Are you ready for it?
(17:36):
Here we go.
Cloudy, cloudy, cloudy, and afew showers in the afternoon.
And the high is gonna be about51.
And then tomorrow night's gonnaget down to 38 degrees.
Boo boo.
Let's hope that's wrong.
Hey, let's tune in to one otherplace that we like to talk
(18:00):
about.
That would be where?
Phoenix, Arizona.
Yep.
Phoenix, Arizona, however, haddifferent kind of weather, which
it always does, so that's why Ilike to kind of consult that
weather guy and see what it'slike over there.
But it's uh been warm today, 60degrees tonight, and they're
(18:27):
supposed to be in the 90s thisweekend, or the high 80s, I'll
put it that way, and sunny.
So quite a bit different thanSpokane, Washington, and gonna
be a little bit warmer than herein Illinois, but what the heck?
It's the United States, youcan't never get everything the
(18:48):
same.
Sunny (18:49):
Yeah, that's right.
We have different people,different weather, different
likes, different dislikes.
That's the world we live in.
Bruce (18:59):
And there's nothing wrong with that.
That's what makes us go aroundand around and around.
Um, if everybody was justalike, it would be the most
boring world we would ever livein.
But hey, it's not that way.
It's kind of exciting.
Speaking of excitement, howabout a little bit of earthquake
(19:22):
reporting?
Sunny (19:23):
You haven't done that in a long time.
Bruce (19:26):
Yeah, and I'm not going to do an in-depth uh review.
Like I said before, uh, I'm nolonger putting it on the web
page because it takes too longto put it in a report and post
it, plus, it takes too muchbandwidth and memory.
And I wasn't getting anyresults because nobody was
commenting or asking me about itor telling me they enjoyed it.
(19:49):
And so I just quit doing it,saved a little bit of time.
But I'm still keeping recordfor myself.
I've been doing that for what,the last three years or more,
since what, 21, I guess?
So I'm gonna keep doing it.
Maybe uh, you know, it will addup one of these days.
(20:10):
But I thought it wasinteresting that I went back in
1024, we had zero six point ohand more earthquakes, which was
pretty cool.
Um, we haven't done that in awhile.
And on this uh weekend, we goback seven days and we had uh
(20:30):
four six point oh and overearthquakes uh out of the only a
hundred and eight four pointfive positive.
So we had uh a six point fourin Bonda Sea, a six oh in
Turkey, a six point five inGuanaloupe, and a six in Solomon
(20:55):
Island.
So four coming from seven daysago, that report was only none.
I thought I'd give you areport.
There's still a lot of badearthquakes going on, so keep
those people in prayer.
I don't know if you're hearingany of that on the news because
nobody's keeping up with it.
(21:16):
And uh speaking of news,apparently the uh solar index
has been up and we've had a lotof solar winds, and that means
what?
Supposedly that's one of thereasons why we have the auroras.
Boy, nobody guessed that.
Sunny (21:35):
I did.
Bruce (21:36):
I didn't hear you.
Sunny (21:38):
Well, I did.
Bruce (21:39):
Okay, well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
But yeah, the auroras have beenactive quite a bit.
Um, I don't think they've gotdown to the uh states or you
know, even the northern statesas of the last few weeks.
And apparently three eye Atlashas scooped in around the sun
(22:02):
where they can't watch it,supposedly, and uh they're still
waiting to see what happens toit.
But I think it's acting moreand more like a comet every day,
despite what they're saying.
Um but we'll wait and see.
Don't wanna, you know, thejury's still out.
(22:22):
That's a good way to put it.
Sunny (22:24):
Oh yeah, the jury's still out, and we're waiting and
waiting and waiting and waitingand waiting.
Bruce (22:33):
Yeah, yeah.
We are waiting.
And it's Halloween, so we'renot gonna wait much longer.
We're gonna get off here, putsome uh cookies and what?
Candy in some dishes.
Yeah.
You guys dressing up tonight?
You probably won't hear thisuntil Monday.
(22:54):
So I hope you have a goodHalloween and a good weekend,
and I hope you uh behave.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
So we'll wait and see if theyuse this three eye atlas for
some kind of a smoke screen sothey can bring out something
else, you know, like uh alienattack or something even
(23:15):
crazier, but we'll wait and see.
I'm not saying anything, I'mjust you know, suggesting.
However, while we're uhtalking, let's switch gears.
Okay.
Hey, these this is for thewomen out there.
Let's pick on the women.
What do you say, Sunny?
Sunny (23:35):
Oh no, I don't want any part of you picking on anybody
because they'll blame me.
Bruce (23:44):
Well, don't laugh.
Sunny (23:48):
They will.
You know they will.
Bruce (23:50):
All right, well, okay, so we won't do that.
Um, but how however, this isfor the women out there.
I read this article and I went,ooh, this ought to be good.
But anyway, Japan elected a newprime minister uh last Tuesday,
(24:11):
October the 21st.
And who was it?
It was a female.
Yeah, yay.
I wrote it down.
And what was interesting wasthe article which was, I think
the AP did this article.
(24:32):
Yep, it was AP.
Um, they did this article,which they tied it into or with
the the ranking of thecountries.
There's 148 countries that wasranked in the world gender gap
report.
Yep, you heard me right.
(24:53):
The world gap gender, Bruce.
The world gender gap report.
That's a mouthful.
Back in they've done this forseveral years, but this is
2025's numbers, and Japan ranked118.
(25:14):
So they're thinking maybe thisnew leader is gonna help that
ranking.
And I thought that wasinteresting, and I thought,
well, let's see what UnitedStates ranks, and we rank, ready
for this, number 42.
Yay! That's good, right?
Not really.
(25:34):
Not really at all.
And I looked it up, I went andfound the report, looked it up,
and guess who was the top?
Sunny (25:43):
Uh Russia.
Bruce (25:45):
Why would you say Russia?
Sunny (25:48):
Because they're on the news all the time.
Bruce (25:51):
Oh, well that's good.
There you go, that's good.
But no, it was Iceland.
Uh they ranked 92.6%, uh, whichI don't know how they come up
with that.
I went and read the report andlooked at the graphs, and I'm
telling you, man, it was it waslike they was running everybody
(26:13):
in circles so they can give themwhatever they want, whatever
ranking they they produce.
Yeah, but it it was ranked oneducation, income level,
performance, health andsurvival, and progression over
(26:34):
time.
Uh I'm not sure how this evenfits into a gender gap, but
that's what they rankedeverything on, and yeah.
So I tried to find the worst,and they had number four 148
down in several of those graphs,but it was a different country
(26:54):
each time.
So uh again, I'm not even surehow they figure those, but it
looked like to me they was justusing that for um static, so
they can produce whatever theywant to produce.
And I'm kind of a kind ofconspiracist.
But that was my phone, by theway, if you heard that.
(27:16):
So anyway, that that's for thewomen out there that Japan has
uh elected a female, which iscool, prime minister, and maybe
she'll do a good job for Japan.
And who knows, maybe we'll geta woman one of these days.
(27:38):
But you know, no matter who'sin the office, they're not gonna
be able to do anything becauseit just ain't we're made to do
that.
We just hand tie everything andeverybody.
Sunny (27:50):
Boy, you're almost negative about that leadership.
Bruce (27:54):
Almost?
Okay, you ain't been aroundvery long, have you?
Sunny (28:00):
Well, you know I have.
Bruce (28:02):
All right, yeah, okay.
I thought you was gonna morphon Halloween.
Sunny (28:08):
I was, but I decided just to hold off.
I figured there's gonna be oneepisode that you're gonna be
slow on news and you're gonnawant something, and I'll just
puff in there and zap and uhbright light and static and I'll
be morphed.
Bruce (28:30):
Okay, well, I'll be looking forward to that.
I thought we was gonna do it onHalloween, but I guess I was
wrong.
Sunny (28:39):
You're always wrong.
Bruce (28:41):
All right, well, whatever.
So let's uh let's shut herdown.
We we're right at 30 minutes,and more I talk, the more longer
it'll be, and we'll just go onfrom later on.
But this is Bruce.
And this is Sunny.
And I got one more bit ofinformation.
(29:01):
We always shut off with AIvoice telling you to uh donate,
be part of our value for valuesystem.
And uh this article that I readhas a little bit to do with AI.
Oh, and I did forget one bit ofinformation.
(29:22):
I just looked down at my paperand I noticed I forgot to say
it.
But the report was brought toyou by guess who?
Wait a minute, wait for it.
The World Economic Forum.
That's right.
They put that report together.
Now I don't know what I reallydon't understand how they come
(29:42):
up with them numbers and how ithas anything to do with a gender
gap.
When I think of gender gap, Idon't think of the money
involved or the education.
I think about how many womenare involved in the politician
side of it.
Or how many women's involved ineducation or in anything?
(30:06):
You know?
But anyway, maybe I don't lookat life right.
Sunny (30:12):
Oh, you don't.
You don't at all.
Bruce (30:15):
All right, whatever.
But hey, that's I just wantedto bring that report part up.
That's kind of interesting.
But guess what?
GM plans to launch eyes offdriving.
A Google AI and other newin-vehicle tech by 2028.
Yeah, you heard me right.
(30:36):
They're going to bring GoogleAI.
That's the Google AI that youhear when you hear Capella
talking on my episodes.
Uh giving me an introductionand unit introduction and giving
us a value for value when theygo by.
That's Google.
That's their AI.
(30:57):
GM is planning on launchingthat along with eyes off
driving, so you don't have todrive, but you can take control
and other new vehicle tech inthe vehicles by 2028.
So I I yeah, that sounds veryscary.
(31:19):
What to see what happens?
There's been a lot of wrecks bythe automatic driving cars
today, or as of this time frame.
We'll see how many of them rollout later, right?
Sunny (31:34):
Right, you are.
That's not AI anyway, Bruce.
You know what it is.
Bruce (31:39):
Yep, it's ancient intelligence.
And uh we'll do the wholething.
I think I've d already didthat, but yep, that's ancient
intelligence.
And you wait, you'll see moreof it coming out later on.
But I hope you enjoyed theepisode, and I hope you come
back.
You know what?
I hope you uh tell your friendsabout it.
(32:01):
And if you like the way itsounds, let me know.
Again, you can reach thepodcast by going to the
uglyquacking duck at gmail.com.
Send us an email and let usknow.
You can send us a text.
And uh if you'd like topersonally talk to me, I have an
email, just Bruce at theUglyquackingduck.com.
(32:25):
Um, I usually don't give thatout, but I thought I'd do it
today.
Uh, you know, I had a person inmind when I redid all this
audio equipment uh a coupleepisodes ago, and I seen him at
work and I said, Man, I reallythought, you know, I even said,
hey, if you like this or don'tlike this, tell me what you
(32:48):
think of this sound effect, ifit made any difference, made it
worse, made it better, whatever.
And I really thought he wouldget on there and listen to it
and let me know.
And I have still not heard fromanybody.
You're all asleep out there,which maybe I'm doing a good
job.
You know, if you're relaxingwhile you listen to us and
(33:10):
you're falling asleep, as longas you're not behind the wheel,
then that's not a good thing.
But if you're, you know, wiredout after work, you need some
way to get asleep, and I put youto sleep, that's worth it, you
know.
If you get a chance, let meknow what you think of the
(33:31):
episode and the sound, and we'llgo from there.
I'm doing a lot lesspost-editing to the sound, as of
what I used to do.
In fact, I pretty well got theaudio level set high, so I don't
have to do very much to it.
I'm not doing hardly anythingto the audio.
(33:52):
I may uh pull a few gaps out ofthere where I've taken a long
break.
That's what we want.
Sunny (34:00):
All right, quit rambling, Bruce.
You got your point across.
You want them to tell you whatthey think.
Bruce (34:08):
Yeah.
Well, that's what we're in herefor.
But uh anyhow, have a goodHalloween, and when you hear
this when it comes out live onmy podcast hosting page, it'll
probably be Monday.
I may put it out Sunday, butit'll be after Halloween, so I
hope you had a good Halloween,and I hope this weekend goes
(34:31):
good for you.
And I'll see you on the nextround, right?
Until next time.
Sunny (34:36):
Yeah, until next time.
Bruce (34:41):

They are dropping like flies.
Sunny (00:03):
Who is they?
And why are they dropping likeflies?
Capella (00:09):
Welcome to the Ugly Quacking Doug Podcast, the worst
podcast in the unknownuniverse.
Or at least that's what somepeople say.
We prefer to think of ourselvesas charmingly rough around the
edges.
We're passionate aboutpodcasting and the value for
value model, where creators andlisteners connect directly.
We believe in keeping ourcontent free and open to
everyone, because who needsanother paywall, right?
Bruce (00:31):
Hello, everyone.
This is Bruce.
We're with the Ugly QuackingDuck Podcast.
Sunny (00:38):
And I'm Sunny, and I'm with the Ugly Quacking Duck
Podcast.
Bruce (00:44):
Okay.
Wow.
Yeah.
You are listening to the UglyQuacking Duck Podcast.
We're glad you're aboard.
If this is the first time youfound our podcast, this episode,
we're glad you found us, and wehope you stick around.
And if you've been here before,welcome back.
And I think you know whatyou're in for.
This is the worst podcast inthe unknown universe.
Sunny (01:09):
Yep, and we prove that every episode.
Bruce (01:14):
Yeah, we do.
Speaking of episode, this isepisode 127.
Uh, we are recording it in theMidwest, Southern Illinois
studio.
You know what that means?
Uh no.
It means we're recording it inthe never mind.
(01:35):
Oh, brother.
So did anybody notice anyproblems on October the 20th,
which was a Monday with any ofthe internet people.
Maybe you had a business andall of a sudden you didn't get
on the internet.
There was a bunch of crashes.
A bunch of problems happenedthanks to Amazon cloud crash.
(01:59):
Yep, their cloud crashed.
Cloud crash.
That just sounds really weird.
Sunny (02:07):
Oh, I think you're being weird anyway, but what do you
mean it crashed?
Bruce (02:12):
Well, they just had a little bit of interruption
problems on their cloud.
Amazon did.
Their computing serviceaffected many people.
And uh so if you had uh anykind of problems that day,
that's more than likely where itcame from.
Sunny (02:30):
Well, I'm glad I wasn't on the internet.
Yeah, there you go.
Bruce (02:34):
Yeah, well, a few people that was working had to have the
internet and it messed up someof the uh work environments,
some of the social media, andsome of the video games too,
also processed through theircloud service.
So Amazon really stuck it toyou, man.
Sunny (02:56):
Well, while you're sticking it to us, Bruce, what's
that uh phrase that you said atthe beginning of this episode?
Uh let me think about it.
They are dropping like flies.
And I asked, Who are they?
And why are they dropping likeflies?
Bruce (03:19):
Well, I'll tell you, Sunny, that's just an old
saying.
And the article I read uh justbefore I got on the recording
studio was about uh flies beingdropped.
So it kind of reminded me ofthat old saying.
That's why I started out withthat.
They are dropping like flies.
(03:39):
But actually, what was going onwas uh 1440 had an article
along with a video where they'redropping billions of flies from
the sky.
That's right.
The government is doing that.
Why you say?
Well, because I guess there's abunch of screw worm maggots
(04:02):
that are eating animals alive.
And and I know I saved this forHalloween because it actually
happened uh quite a ways back.
The article was, uh, but itsounds like a scary movie,
really.
But what happens is these fliesuh lay eggs on animals and
(04:25):
stuff, and they hatch, and themaggots that grow out of them
bore burrow into these animals,alive animals now, and they
start eating the flesh.
So they come up with thisbrilliant plan.
I hope it's brilliant, andthey're gonna drop a billion
flies from the sky on thesefarms, and it's gonna cause a
(04:50):
depopulation because they'regonna overstimulate, basically
just wipe out the generation.
Uh, because you know they havebabies all the time, they're
about like rabbits.
Sounds kind of bizarre to me,but I thought, hey, why not?
Again, I got that from 1440.
Uh they're a pretty good littleplace to get weird stories.
(05:13):
A lot of my weird stories comefrom them, and I go look them
up, see where they're actuallyfrom.
If you want to check them out,go to join 1440.com.
You can actually put in youremail address and they'll send
you an email every day.
And it's pretty cool.
Sunny (05:33):
All right, pretty cool.
I like how you say that.
You don't get excited, do you?
Bruce (05:39):
I am excited.
It's Halloween night, and themonsters are out.
Sunny (05:46):
Oh my goodness.
We are possessed by bruise.
Bruce (05:55):
Oh, you're so funny.
I hope everybody's doing well,and this uh podcast episode
finds you in a good place.
And if it doesn't, I hope thisweirdness takes you away from
your normal problems and youhave a little bit of peace.
Maybe it won't last long, youknow, however long the episode
(06:16):
is, but maybe you'll get alittle bit of peace.
And while we're talking about alittle bit of peace, my
schedule is changing.
As of November the first, I'mdoing a switcheroo at work,
which means I'm gonna be thereless.
Uh hopefully about three timesa day a week, three days a week.
(06:39):
If it works out, that means Iwill be changing when I do the
podcast recording, the episode.
Um right now I try to do it onweekends because I I usually get
Friday and Sunday off, butthat's gonna change.
In fact, next weekend I workFriday and Saturday both.
(07:04):
And then I don't know what I'mgonna be working from that point
on.
We'll just have to wait andsee.
But hopefully it will give memore time to do my homework and
prepare for the episode a littlebit better when I start
recording, and actually give memore time to do other things
(07:25):
too.
So that's the plan.
We'll see what that you know,plans are liable to change as
you go, and that's what we'rehoping uh to be in effect, but
who knows?
What that means to you is onceI figured out what my schedule
is and how it's gonna work out,I may have to change when I put
(07:49):
the podcast out, but I will letyou know, and you know, it'll
probably happen that way.
As of right now, I am doing um,I'm gonna try to do about three
hours a month, and that willmean probably uh an hour one
week, another hour, anotherweek, and then maybe two
(08:11):
30-minute uh episodes.
We'll just have to wait and seehow that works out.
Again, it's uh in a plan, we'llhave to wait and see.
Sunny (08:24):
And how do I fit into this plan?
Are you kicking me to the curb?
Bruce (08:29):
Not at all, not at all.
You're gonna be right therewith me, so whenever I get a
moment to figure this out, I'lllet you know so you can show up
and we can record together as wehave always done.
And if you don't show up, I maystart without you.
Sunny (08:48):
Oh, that's not fair.
What if I don't want to showup, but you Oh, wait a minute,
that won't work.
You're still gonna leave meout.
That's not fair.
Bruce (09:00):
Oh, don't worry about it.
You know I'm not gonna leaveyou out.
I'll be right here waiting onyou to get here so we can record
because we are a team.
Sunny (09:10):
Oh boy, I'm part of a team.
Yay!
Bruce (09:15):
Yep, it may be the worst podcast in the unknown universe,
but we still do it together,and that's a good thing.
Sunny (09:22):
Yeah, it is.
Yay, yay, go us, go us.
Bruce (09:27):
Okay, don't get too carried away.
Don't know how this newschedule is gonna work out, so
bear with me.
We got the holidays going onthis coming month.
We got Thanksgiving, thenthere's Christmas, New Year's,
everybody's gonna be busy.
I'm gonna try to put outepisodes as I normally do.
(09:48):
We'll just have to wait and seehow they work out.
But hopefully that's what'sgonna happen.
But right now, if you didn'tnotice, uh, I took a week out of
uh my last podcast.
It was a couple weeks ago, andI kind of you know did that on
purpose.
How I'm gonna work it part ofthe time.
(10:11):
So don't get too used to haveme every week.
Uh I don't know if that's gonnahappen, but we'll see.
All right?
That sounds good?
I hope so.
You have any Slack you want togive me, just email me.
You know, you can do the uglyquacking duck at gmail.com and
(10:32):
we'll get an email.
And if you want, you can sendme a text.
You just go to a podcast playerversion two, and you can just
there right there in thedescription, it'll say, send me
a text.
Click on it, send me a text.
I'll give you a shout out nextepisode.
There you go.
What do you think about that,Sunny?
Sunny (10:54):
I think you need to do that, but we need to have
somebody send us one, right?
Bruce (11:00):
Yeah, that there's a kind of a flaw in that that we have
to have somebody send us a textbefore we can give them a shout.
Yep, we have to give them ashout out afterwards.
But anyhow, hey, what do youthink about the weather, mister?
Sunny (11:16):
Well, I think it was cool and wet and yucky for like
three days, but yesterday andtoday, woo wee, it was nice.
Bruce (11:29):
You can say that again, but don't.
Don't say it.
It was nice.
It was awesome.
Uh today it got up to 62degrees and the sun was shining
and it felt good.
I really enjoy those days.
I hope you guys all got toenjoy that too.
I know different parts of thecountry has had different
(11:52):
weather and it's really stunk.
We had a little bit of sunshinefor once.
And while we're talking aboutuh weather being bad around
here, you know, for the last fewdays, and then we got sunshine.
Uh, we'd need to talk a littlebit about Hurricane Melissa.
Sunny (12:13):
Hurricane Melissa! Did you come up with that name,
Bruce?
Bruce (12:18):
Nope, I did not.
There was a there's a groupthat does that, and they that's
their deal.
But Hurricane Melissa wentright across Jamaica, and it was
a mess.
It uh was a very slow movinghurricane, and the last count I
(12:41):
had they said at least 19 peoplehave died in Jamaica as a
result of that hurricane, andthere's many videos out showing
the destruction.
Um, like I said, it was aslow-moving hurricane.
Uh, we got to watch a littlebit of it because that guy that
we watch, uh Ryan Hall, you allon YouTube, if you haven't
(13:07):
looked him up yet, look him up,join his YouTube, stay with him,
because he's with you everytime there's a bad storm, and
it's very nice.
But he had a gentleman outthere in Jamaica that had a
camera, and he was tied intothat, and he was playing it on
(13:29):
his uh YouTube channel, and itwas um pretty interesting until
it wasn't, and then it just gotbad.
But anyway, our prayers are outfor people in Jamaica, and it
was supposed to go on and hitBermuda after that.
We're not sure we're not surewhat I was gonna say, the
(13:51):
outcome of that hurricanehitting Bermuda, but supposedly
it was heading there afterwards.
But I just read a headline thatsays there's 49 now dead in Cor
Caribbean after that Melissahits.
So pray for them people, prayfor them to be able to get help
(14:13):
and to get built back up.
That's a beautiful country andbeautiful people there, and they
are taken advantage of justlike everybody else when there's
a disaster.
So keep Jamaica and the rest ofthe Caribbean in your prayers
concerning them disasters thatthey've had to go through.
(14:35):
All right, we appreciate it.
Sunny (14:38):
All right, Bruce.
That's a good one.
I've got to give you a shoutout for that, because them
people had to suffer and aregonna suffer from a long more
time.
Bruce (14:52):
You mean a lot more time?
Sunny (14:54):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Bruce (14:57):
Okay, okay.
Well, we don't want to bringanybody down that's listened to
the podcast, but if you've got agood heart, you're gonna feel
some pain, and then you're gonnaget busy and you're gonna try
to help those people.
There's several different waysto do it, but so the weather was
kind of lousy for those peoplefor sure.
(15:19):
Not very good at all.
But it was uh better here, andwe are very thankful for that.
And uh so far, Spokane,Washington has had quite a bit
of weird weather, but they've uhthey're at 45 right now.
Uh, they got up to 46 today.
(15:40):
Oh, I don't like the cold, andit's gonna be cloudy most of the
night or day tomorrow, also,the way it looks.
We'll have to check in on themagain.
But uh one of our listenerswants us to shout out to Spokane
when we do an episode and tellwhat the weather's there like.
(16:03):
So they are at 45, which you'rethere at Spokane, so you know
that.
For everybody else, that'swhere they're at right now, and
they're supposed to get down toabout 43 tonight, and then
tomorrow it's predicting, readyfor this Saturday, which is
November the 1st, a new month,everybody.
(16:26):
A new month.
Sunny (16:30):
Oh my goodness, you getting excited?
Bruce (16:33):
Well, you know, October just kind of blew away.
Uh I don't know what happened.
I mean, like I used to tellpeople at work, I'm still in
spring getting ready for allthis rain to go away, and all of
a sudden we're in October, andI don't know what's going on,
but I'm tired of it flying by sobad.
(16:54):
But anyhow, Saturday forSpokane, they're giving weather
shower or they're giving showersin the weather most of the day,
uh, and then cloudy the rest ofthe day.
So boo.
The temperature's supposed togo up, though.
They're gonna get around 58 fora high.
That'll probably be later on inthe afternoon.
(17:16):
That's what they're having fortoday and tomorrow.
And us, we're about the same asbefore.
We hit 50, what, 62 today?
It's 50 right now, and thentomorrow it's supposed to be.
Are you ready for it?
(17:36):
Here we go.
Cloudy, cloudy, cloudy, and afew showers in the afternoon.
And the high is gonna be about51.
And then tomorrow night's gonnaget down to 38 degrees.
Boo boo.
Let's hope that's wrong.
Hey, let's tune in to one otherplace that we like to talk
(18:00):
about.
That would be where?
Phoenix, Arizona.
Yep.
Phoenix, Arizona, however, haddifferent kind of weather, which
it always does, so that's why Ilike to kind of consult that
weather guy and see what it'slike over there.
But it's uh been warm today, 60degrees tonight, and they're
(18:27):
supposed to be in the 90s thisweekend, or the high 80s, I'll
put it that way, and sunny.
So quite a bit different thanSpokane, Washington, and gonna
be a little bit warmer than herein Illinois, but what the heck?
It's the United States, youcan't never get everything the
(18:48):
same.
Sunny (18:49):
Yeah, that's right.
We have different people,different weather, different
likes, different dislikes.
That's the world we live in.
Bruce (18:59):
And there's nothing wrong with that.
That's what makes us go aroundand around and around.
Um, if everybody was justalike, it would be the most
boring world we would ever livein.
But hey, it's not that way.
It's kind of exciting.
Speaking of excitement, howabout a little bit of earthquake
(19:22):
reporting?
Sunny (19:23):
You haven't done that in a long time.
Bruce (19:26):
Yeah, and I'm not going to do an in-depth uh review.
Like I said before, uh, I'm nolonger putting it on the web
page because it takes too longto put it in a report and post
it, plus, it takes too muchbandwidth and memory.
And I wasn't getting anyresults because nobody was
commenting or asking me about itor telling me they enjoyed it.
(19:49):
And so I just quit doing it,saved a little bit of time.
But I'm still keeping recordfor myself.
I've been doing that for what,the last three years or more,
since what, 21, I guess?
So I'm gonna keep doing it.
Maybe uh, you know, it will addup one of these days.
(20:10):
But I thought it wasinteresting that I went back in
1024, we had zero six point ohand more earthquakes, which was
pretty cool.
Um, we haven't done that in awhile.
And on this uh weekend, we goback seven days and we had uh
(20:30):
four six point oh and overearthquakes uh out of the only a
hundred and eight four pointfive positive.
So we had uh a six point fourin Bonda Sea, a six oh in
Turkey, a six point five inGuanaloupe, and a six in Solomon
(20:55):
Island.
So four coming from seven daysago, that report was only none.
I thought I'd give you areport.
There's still a lot of badearthquakes going on, so keep
those people in prayer.
I don't know if you're hearingany of that on the news because
nobody's keeping up with it.
(21:16):
And uh speaking of news,apparently the uh solar index
has been up and we've had a lotof solar winds, and that means
what?
Supposedly that's one of thereasons why we have the auroras.
Boy, nobody guessed that.
Sunny (21:35):
I did.
Bruce (21:36):
I didn't hear you.
Sunny (21:38):
Well, I did.
Bruce (21:39):
Okay, well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
But yeah, the auroras have beenactive quite a bit.
Um, I don't think they've gotdown to the uh states or you
know, even the northern statesas of the last few weeks.
And apparently three eye Atlashas scooped in around the sun
(22:02):
where they can't watch it,supposedly, and uh they're still
waiting to see what happens toit.
But I think it's acting moreand more like a comet every day,
despite what they're saying.
Um but we'll wait and see.
Don't wanna, you know, thejury's still out.
(22:22):
That's a good way to put it.
Sunny (22:24):
Oh yeah, the jury's still out, and we're waiting and
waiting and waiting and waitingand waiting.
Bruce (22:33):
Yeah, yeah.
We are waiting.
And it's Halloween, so we'renot gonna wait much longer.
We're gonna get off here, putsome uh cookies and what?
Candy in some dishes.
Yeah.
You guys dressing up tonight?
You probably won't hear thisuntil Monday.
(22:54):
So I hope you have a goodHalloween and a good weekend,
and I hope you uh behave.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
So we'll wait and see if theyuse this three eye atlas for
some kind of a smoke screen sothey can bring out something
else, you know, like uh alienattack or something even
(23:15):
crazier, but we'll wait and see.
I'm not saying anything, I'mjust you know, suggesting.
However, while we're uhtalking, let's switch gears.
Okay.
Hey, these this is for thewomen out there.
Let's pick on the women.
What do you say, Sunny?
Sunny (23:35):
Oh no, I don't want any part of you picking on anybody
because they'll blame me.
Bruce (23:44):
Well, don't laugh.
Sunny (23:48):
They will.
You know they will.
Bruce (23:50):
All right, well, okay, so we won't do that.
Um, but how however, this isfor the women out there.
I read this article and I went,ooh, this ought to be good.
But anyway, Japan elected a newprime minister uh last Tuesday,
(24:11):
October the 21st.
And who was it?
It was a female.
Yeah, yay.
I wrote it down.
And what was interesting wasthe article which was, I think
the AP did this article.
(24:32):
Yep, it was AP.
Um, they did this article,which they tied it into or with
the the ranking of thecountries.
There's 148 countries that wasranked in the world gender gap
report.
Yep, you heard me right.
(24:53):
The world gap gender, Bruce.
The world gender gap report.
That's a mouthful.
Back in they've done this forseveral years, but this is
2025's numbers, and Japan ranked118.
(25:14):
So they're thinking maybe thisnew leader is gonna help that
ranking.
And I thought that wasinteresting, and I thought,
well, let's see what UnitedStates ranks, and we rank, ready
for this, number 42.
Yay! That's good, right?
Not really.
(25:34):
Not really at all.
And I looked it up, I went andfound the report, looked it up,
and guess who was the top?
Sunny (25:43):
Uh Russia.
Bruce (25:45):
Why would you say Russia?
Sunny (25:48):
Because they're on the news all the time.
Bruce (25:51):
Oh, well that's good.
There you go, that's good.
But no, it was Iceland.
Uh they ranked 92.6%, uh, whichI don't know how they come up
with that.
I went and read the report andlooked at the graphs, and I'm
telling you, man, it was it waslike they was running everybody
(26:13):
in circles so they can give themwhatever they want, whatever
ranking they they produce.
Yeah, but it it was ranked oneducation, income level,
performance, health andsurvival, and progression over
(26:34):
time.
Uh I'm not sure how this evenfits into a gender gap, but
that's what they rankedeverything on, and yeah.
So I tried to find the worst,and they had number four 148
down in several of those graphs,but it was a different country
(26:54):
each time.
So uh again, I'm not even surehow they figure those, but it
looked like to me they was justusing that for um static, so
they can produce whatever theywant to produce.
And I'm kind of a kind ofconspiracist.
But that was my phone, by theway, if you heard that.
(27:16):
So anyway, that that's for thewomen out there that Japan has
uh elected a female, which iscool, prime minister, and maybe
she'll do a good job for Japan.
And who knows, maybe we'll geta woman one of these days.
(27:38):
But you know, no matter who'sin the office, they're not gonna
be able to do anything becauseit just ain't we're made to do
that.
We just hand tie everything andeverybody.
Sunny (27:50):
Boy, you're almost negative about that leadership.
Bruce (27:54):
Almost?
Okay, you ain't been aroundvery long, have you?
Sunny (28:00):
Well, you know I have.
Bruce (28:02):
All right, yeah, okay.
I thought you was gonna morphon Halloween.
Sunny (28:08):
I was, but I decided just to hold off.
I figured there's gonna be oneepisode that you're gonna be
slow on news and you're gonnawant something, and I'll just
puff in there and zap and uhbright light and static and I'll
be morphed.
Bruce (28:30):
Okay, well, I'll be looking forward to that.
I thought we was gonna do it onHalloween, but I guess I was
wrong.
Sunny (28:39):
You're always wrong.
Bruce (28:41):
All right, well, whatever.
So let's uh let's shut herdown.
We we're right at 30 minutes,and more I talk, the more longer
it'll be, and we'll just go onfrom later on.
But this is Bruce.
And this is Sunny.
And I got one more bit ofinformation.
(29:01):
We always shut off with AIvoice telling you to uh donate,
be part of our value for valuesystem.
And uh this article that I readhas a little bit to do with AI.
Oh, and I did forget one bit ofinformation.
(29:22):
I just looked down at my paperand I noticed I forgot to say
it.
But the report was brought toyou by guess who?
Wait a minute, wait for it.
The World Economic Forum.
That's right.
They put that report together.
Now I don't know what I reallydon't understand how they come
(29:42):
up with them numbers and how ithas anything to do with a gender
gap.
When I think of gender gap, Idon't think of the money
involved or the education.
I think about how many womenare involved in the politician
side of it.
Or how many women's involved ineducation or in anything?
(30:06):
You know?
But anyway, maybe I don't lookat life right.
Sunny (30:12):
Oh, you don't.
You don't at all.
Bruce (30:15):
All right, whatever.
But hey, that's I just wantedto bring that report part up.
That's kind of interesting.
But guess what?
GM plans to launch eyes offdriving.
A Google AI and other newin-vehicle tech by 2028.
Yeah, you heard me right.
(30:36):
They're going to bring GoogleAI.
That's the Google AI that youhear when you hear Capella
talking on my episodes.
Uh giving me an introductionand unit introduction and giving
us a value for value when theygo by.
That's Google.
That's their AI.
(30:57):
GM is planning on launchingthat along with eyes off
driving, so you don't have todrive, but you can take control
and other new vehicle tech inthe vehicles by 2028.
So I I yeah, that sounds veryscary.
(31:19):
What to see what happens?
There's been a lot of wrecks bythe automatic driving cars
today, or as of this time frame.
We'll see how many of them rollout later, right?
Sunny (31:34):
Right, you are.
That's not AI anyway, Bruce.
You know what it is.
Bruce (31:39):
Yep, it's ancient intelligence.
And uh we'll do the wholething.
I think I've d already didthat, but yep, that's ancient
intelligence.
And you wait, you'll see moreof it coming out later on.
But I hope you enjoyed theepisode, and I hope you come

(32:25):
Um, I usually don't give thatout, but I thought I'd do it
today.
Uh, you know, I had a person inmind when I redid all this
audio equipment uh a coupleepisodes ago, and I seen him at
work and I said, Man, I reallythought, you know, I even said,
hey, if you like this or don'tlike this, tell me what you
(32:48):
think of this sound effect, ifit made any difference, made it
worse, made it better, whatever.
And I really thought he wouldget on there and listen to it
and let me know.
And I have still not heard fromanybody.
You're all asleep out there,which maybe I'm doing a good
job.
You know, if you're relaxingwhile you listen to us and
(33:10):
you're falling asleep, as longas you're not behind the wheel,
then that's not a good thing.
But if you're, you know, wiredout after work, you need some
way to get asleep, and I put youto sleep, that's worth it, you
know.
If you get a chance, let meknow what you think of the
(33:31):
episode and the sound, and we'llgo from there.
I'm doing a lot lesspost-editing to the sound, as of
what I used to do.
In fact, I pretty well got theaudio level set high, so I don't
have to do very much to it.
I'm not doing hardly anythingto the audio.
(33:52):
I may uh pull a few gaps out ofthere where I've taken a long
break.
That's what we want.
Sunny (34:00):
All right, quit rambling, Bruce.
You got your point across.
You want them to tell you whatthey think.
Bruce (34:08):
Yeah.
Well, that's what we're in herefor.
But uh anyhow, have a goodHalloween, and when you hear
this when it comes out live onmy podcast hosting page, it'll
probably be Monday.

hope you had a good Halloween,and I hope this weekend goes
