We kick off this episode of the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast with a recent 7.0 earthquake off the coast of California. While the earth shook and concerns rumbled, we're grateful there were no injuries. This unexpected geological event sets the stage for a broader conversation about how we consume news today, as many are turning away from traditional sources in favor of the immediacy of social media and online platforms.
Political intrigue takes center stage as we touch on President Biden's surprising decision to pardon Hunter Biden, offering a lighthearted take on the often unpredictable nature of politics. We then shift gears to explore an international incident involving the alleged sabotage of underwater communication lines by a Chinese commercial ship. Amidst these serious global happenings, there's room for laughter as we recount the unexpected spotting of our podcast sticker in Mountain Home, Arkansas, sparking a humorous chat about stickers and distribution strategies.
As the weather shifts in Southern Illinois, prompting a blend of anticipation and reluctance for the colder days ahead, we chat about technological advancements promising to change our lives. An AI model touts more accurate weather forecasts, and in a lighter note, an 11-foot-high iced latte sets a new world record. Wrapping up with warm farewells and gratitude, we leave you with a hearty "73," embracing our listeners with the best regards.

Bruce (00:03):
Do you know what time it is?
Sunny (00:06):
What time is it?
Bruce (00:09):
Well, it's time for the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast with
a new episode.
That was downright good, I haveto say.
I think we sunk, sank.
We got it together.
(00:30):
How about that?
Sunny (00:32):
Well, I like that.
We did get it together too.
Yes, we did.
What are we doing on the air?
Why are we recording a newepisode?
Bruce (00:49):
Well, sunny, I'll tell you why.
I know we do one every coupleweeks, or we started doing them
every couple weeks, but there'sa couple things that happened,
uh this week that I wanted toget uh or I should say last week
, because we're recording onsunday and this is a new week
starting, but I didn't want towait two weeks to talk about it.
(01:09):
So the first thing happenedthat made me decide to go ahead
and do a podcast episode wasCalifornia had a 7.0 earthquake.
Yeah, you heard me right.
It was actually in the ocean,off the coast.
They had a tsunami warning andeverything.
(01:32):
They ended up canceling thewarning.
I'm not sure there was anybodyhurt.
I didn't hear anything.
But that's getting too close tohome, man.
Sunny (01:44):
Well, I'd say it is.
That's kind of scary.
Surely you didn't want to talkabout an earthquake.
I mean we could have waited onthat.
Bruce (01:58):
No, I wanted to also.
I don't talk politically mostof the time on the podcast, but
I wanted to bring up onepolitical thing.
You know you can't say never,and I don't think I said never,
but anywho, for you listenersthat just found us or that are

Bruce (03:12):
You think podcasting will be around forever and ever and
ever.
Sunny (03:16):
Well, I hope so, but you know how governments are.
They'll get tired of hearingfree speech and they'll start
making laws and you'll have toget certificates and license and
blah, blah, blah.
Bruce (03:34):
Oh my gosh, you're starting to sound like me now.
Sunny (03:37):
Well, I have been around you for a few years, so you know
.
Bruce (03:43):
Yeah, you have, and I've rubbed off on you.
Is that what you're saying?
Well, sort of well, anyway,yeah, um, I'd like to see it go
on and on and on.
Um, this is one of the morefree uh, what programs out there
(04:04):
.
It's not going to stay that waylong, probably because there's
going to be lots of changes, butuntil then, we're going to keep
podcasting.
Sunny (04:16):
Oh yeah, Isn't that Buzzsprout's theme?
Bruce (04:20):
Yeah, I think it is.
It's what Start podcasting,keep podcasting.
I think Don't quote me on that,but yeah, I think it is.
It's what uh, start podcasting,keep podcasting.
I think don't quote me on that,but yeah, I think it is all
right, so we started and we'regonna keep yep, we're gonna keep
rolling rolling, rolling,rolling no, I don't think that's

Sunny (05:17):

Bruce (05:30):
Oh my gosh, that brings back old memories.
How did you know that I'maround?
Well, you're around, all right,but I don't know about being
around.
But anyhow, yeah, you got thatright.
Boy, that brings back old timememories.
Anyway, let's still right.
Boy, that brings back old-timememories.
Anyway, let's don't talk aboutstuff like that.
They'll think we're old or I'mold anyway.
Sunny (05:51):
You are old what the heck .
You're very old, you're ancient, and I don't know what else.
Bruce (06:00):
Well, I'm glad you stopped there, man.
You're starting to make me feelbad, and you know that's not
good for us old-timers.
Sunny (06:07):
Ha ha, you did admit it.
Bruce (06:10):
I didn't admit nothing.
I just thought it would soundgood for the project.
Sunny (06:15):
Okay, well, anyhow, bruce , how you been this week?
Bruce (06:21):
Well, sonny, I've been working.
I went to the eye doctor, got agood exam and I got to go back
six months.
He keeps me coming in every sixmonths since my little episode
with that left eye, but anyhow Igot a good.
What do they call it goodphysical?
(06:43):
I'm not sure what they call itwhen eye doctors look at your
eye, but anyhow, six months Iget to go back and find out if
I'm still doing it good.
Sunny (06:54):
Okay, so that's good news .
Is that what you're saying?
Bruce (06:59):
Yep, good news.
And the rest of the week I justworked, work, work, work, work.
Um.
Anyhow, we're uh off today.
So between trying to get stuffdone around the house, running
around doing stuff, and thengetting back here and trying to
do some podcasting, which youknow, I'd like to get everything
(07:21):
out of the way so I can sitdown and podcast and concentrate
on what I'm trying to sayinstead of what I want to get
done, and that doesn't work realgood sometimes, but here we are
.
Sunny (07:33):
Yeah, here we are.
I'm glad we're here.
I've had a pretty good week.
I've been busy.
It's been warm the last coupledays, so everybody's been
running around.
Hey, did you know, bruce?
You had a tree fall down.
Bruce (07:52):
I did, sonny, I did.
It was a tree that I had two ofmy different wire antennas
attached to.
It was like an anchoring,anchoring point.
I don't know if I said thatcorrectly or not.
Sunny (08:08):
Well, it sounded like you said an anchoring report.
Bruce (08:14):
Oh, it didn't either, but anyway, oh man.
Anyway, yes, I noticed it felldown.
I went out there and detachedthe ropes and the insulators off
of it because it snapped mywire.
I had one array that had 160,20, 80, and 40 on it and the 80
(08:42):
wire was attached to that tree,snapped it.
And then, um, I've got avertical with a 20 and a 40 wire
attached to it and the verticalis a 17 meter and it snapped a
40 meter wire.
I went ahead and rolled thatone up and I couldn't roll up
(09:14):
the array wire because it'shanging 60 foot in the air, so I
just tied it around a post andI haven't checked the SWR on
that antenna May not be able touse it.
And the other one's the onethat got hooked to my new sid
array or receiver, and I didnotice that the receive signal
had went down on the lower endand I don't know if that was
(09:38):
just because, um, the noise hadquit coming in or if that
antenna was down.
So I'll just have to watch itand see what happens.
I'm still getting the twosignals that I monitor for the
SID, which is Sudden IonicSpheric Disturbance.
(10:01):
So they're still up.
I'm getting those.
So I'm not worried about thatantenna really right now.
Anyhow, for all you that'sprobably bored by now.
I had a tree go down.
It was hollow in the center,like many of our trees over here
.
I don't know what's causingthat, but I've got a bunch of
(10:22):
them.
They're coming down, they'vebeen coming down and it just
hurts when you see that old treego down.
Sunny (10:33):
Yeah, yeah, especially for the birds and the squirrels
and the raccoons.
They use that for a nest andnot no more.
Bruce (10:43):
Yeah, you got that right.
There's been a lot of squirrelsrunning up down that tree just
here recently, so they're goingto be very upset.
I don't know, man, it's goingto be hard to grow that big a
tree in my new new big tree inmy lifetime, so we'll have to
see what happens.
But anyway, yes, I noticed itin my lifetime, so we'll have to
(11:05):
see what happens.
But anyway, yes, I noticed it.
I went out and tried to removeanything that had occurred on my
antennas.
And there we are.
Sunny (11:16):
What are you going to do about antennas?
Bruce (11:19):
Well, if my array no longer works, I'm not going to
climb that 65-foot tower.
I'm pretty well done with that.
So I'll have to come up with anew type of antenna.
I don't know what it'll be Kindof a bummer.
Sunny (11:34):
Well, maybe it'll go ahead and work.
Let's be positive.
Bruce (11:40):
There you go, Sonny.
That's a good idea.
Let's be positive.
We will be positive.
We're going to think it's goingto go ahead and work, even
though it shouldn't.
That wire's wrapped around thatpost and it's probably grounded
out, but we'll check it and see.
Sunny (11:58):
There you go Onward with the show.
What episode did you say this?
Bruce (12:06):
is 94.
We're into 94 on season 5.
And, like I said, last time wechanged the account so it just
reflects how many podcasts we'vegot recorded and stored on
Buzzsprout.
Sunny (12:24):
Oh yeah, that'sout.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Okay, I forgot you'd said that.
Bruce (12:30):
Now don't be forgetting stuff, because you're starting
to really sound like me.
Sunny (12:36):
Ah, boney, so are we going to get into your political
talk.
Bruce (12:43):
Yeah, we might as well.
We might as well get into thatand get out of that.
Maybe do a short podcast if youdon't talk too much.
Sunny (12:52):
Don't be blaming me.
Bruce (12:55):
Why not, Anyway?
Yeah, we had a politicaloccurrence.
There you go.
That's a good word for it.
Sunny (13:04):
Oh yeah, occurrence I see .
Bruce (13:08):
Yeah, occurrence that happened this week and everybody
knows our president and hisname is Biden and he has a son
named Hunter Biden andapparently Hunter Biden had been
doing some illegal things forthe last several years I'm
(13:32):
talking 10, 15.
And they got to investigatinghim and I think they was getting
ready to rule on theinvestigations.
I don't know if he'd been totrial.
I don't know what was going on.
I don't pay attention to thatstuff because it's just a show.
I mean, we are in a movietheater and we're watching the
(13:55):
show, but anyhow, what do youmean?
Sunny (13:58):
we're watching a show.
Explain yourself, dude.
Bruce (14:03):
I don't think I will.
Sunny (14:05):
Oh, come on.
Bruce (14:07):
Nope, I don't want to get into that, but uh, if, uh, if
you know, you know is what theyalways say, but I I'm not going
to use that phrase, but I guessI just did yeah, you did all
right.
Well, they say that we arewatching a show.
A and all this stuff is justactors and they're just trying
(14:33):
to fool the public and I don'tknow about any of that.
But onward with our show, ourepisode.
Quintin interrupted me.
Sunny (14:45):
Wait, did you just tell me Quintin interrupted you?
Yeah, okay, so I thought that'swhy you brought me on to be
part of the show and interruptyou.
Bruce (15:02):
Um, yeah, maybe Okay.
So what are you saying?
Sunny (15:15):
I'm saying hi, sonny, I see you over there.
Hi, bruce, I see you over there.
Um, I still don't understandthat's because you're a duck,
hey, hey, maybe I'm an alien?
Bruce (15:29):
Yeah, maybe you are.
You do live on the water someof the time and apparently they
have discovered now I won't getinto that, this episode, but
that the ocean's full of aliens.
Sunny (15:46):
Oh really, they're just now saying that, huh, they've
known it forever.
Bruce (15:53):
Yeah, anybody that works on the ocean or lives on the
ocean can tell you the samething.
But again, I'm not sure they'reactually aliens.
They like to throw that wordaround and that description of
things and creatures and beingsthat they don't understand, that
are not exactly human like theyare.
Sunny (16:16):
Um, it's just a catch-all oh okay, yeah, onward with the
story he was on a while ago.
Bruce (16:28):
Okay, anyway, hunter Biden, he was getting ready to
get nailed and I guess becauseour new president is coming in
and appointing some new cabinetmembers and some of them are
going to be hotheads, if I canuse that word, and they're kind
(16:48):
of scaring some of the peoplethat's in charge and been doing
things.
And anyway, to make a longstory short, our President Biden
said that he would not pardonhis son.
Multiple times.
He said that, his presssecretary said that multiple
(17:12):
times and then the other day hepardoned Hunter Biden.
And I'm not going to debatewhether it was right or wrong or
whether you know he'sprotecting his son or not
protecting his son, whether heshould have done it.
I'm just going to stay that,after him saying all that he's
(17:37):
not going to, no, he's not, hehas no plans, and then he did it
.
It's kind of funny if you findhumor in stuff like that, which
I do.
Sunny (17:48):
Oh well, you find humor in stuff like that which I do.
Oh well, you find humor inweird stuff.
Bruce (17:53):
I do, I really do.
But I know there's lots andlots and lots of Americans out
there that find humor in thatstuff too.
And I don't mean humor like youlaugh at some joke.
I'm talking maybe about what.
What do they call that Satirewhen it's?
I'll have to look that up.
(18:16):
But anyway, yeah, I find thatkind of funny, interesting,
bizarre.
How's that sound?
Sunny (18:25):
Bizarre, sounds weird.
What's that popping noise Ikeep hearing?
Bruce (18:32):
uh, I've noticed that too and I hope our audience has not
heard that.
But I think that is the um.
I'm not sure.
I think it's the mic.
When I hit the buttons kind oftap my finger here.
Let me try it, is that it?
Sunny (18:52):
Yeah, that's it Okay.
Yeah, it's a quick tapping.
Bruce (18:59):
Well, I'm sorry.
I've got my pen over here thatI use to adjust things and I'm
tapping it on the table as Italk, and I think that's what's
doing it.
Sunny (19:14):
Well, stop tapping, good grief.
Bruce (19:18):
Uh no.
Sunny (19:20):
Oh, what do you mean?
No, well, okay, no.
Bruce (19:26):
Well, thanks for oh boy.
Thanks for clearing that up forme, and I'm going along with me
.
Sunny (19:36):
Well, might as well.
I can't get any truth out ofyou.
Bruce (19:40):
What's that have to do with truth?
Sunny (19:42):
I don't know.
I just said that.
Bruce (19:45):
You really are acting like me today.
Sunny (19:49):
Well, that's really scary .
Sorry folks, I don't mean to bescaring you like that.
Two of Bruce isn't too much.
Bruce (20:00):
Hey, why do you say that?
Sunny (20:04):
What do you mean?
Why do I say that?
Anybody listening would agreewith me?
Bruce (20:11):
Okay, anyway, that's what I want to talk about, about the
political scene.
Like I said, I usually don'ttalk about the political scene.
I try to change the subject towhat we do in a podcast so that
people have something differentto think about, and usually it's
pretty boring, but that's worthnoting.
(20:34):
We won't get in any kind ofjudgment about it or why, or why
not it should have happened orshouldn't have.
We just want to bringeverybody's alertness up and I'm
sure everybody's heard that bynow.
I can't think of anybody thatwouldn't have.
(20:55):
If you're following anybody onsocial media or if you're
listening to any kind of newswhich I think the news is kind
of losing popularity, any kindof news which I think the news
is kind of losing popularity, um, I get most of mine from, uh,
(21:19):
social media very little, but Iget some from social media.
And then I've got a couplesites I visit but very little tv
news or radio news.
Do I get anything from anymore?
Just can't trust them news.
Do I get anything?
Sunny (21:32):
from anymore.
Just can't trust them, and youknow that's true.
Oh yeah, no, that's true forsure.
What are we gonna do now?
Good grease, that was a bumbummer, boring bummer yeah, it
was kind of a bummer.
Bruce (21:48):
Anyhow, ashow, as I'm looking outside, it's very windy
the last couple days.
It's supposed to rain.
Tonight they're saying it'llstart about 6 or 7 in the
evening.
So southern Illinois is goingto get some rain and then I
don't know what it's supposed todo Probably get cold again.
And it just warmed up, but it'sbeen miserably cold for the
(22:12):
last few days beginning of theweek.
And then what is this?
Friday and Saturday it warmedup, which was nice, but I don't
think it's going to last.
You know we are in December andthe 21st is the salt of salt,
(22:32):
however you say that, and thatmeans it's going to be the
shortest day of the year andit's going to be cold probably,
and then we've got January to gothrough Brr.
I hate to even think about it.
Sunny (22:49):
What do you mean, brr?
What's January?
Bruce (22:53):
Well, that's usually January.
February is usually cold months, we're getting into the dead of
winter and things are gettingcold, cold, cold.
But yeah, you probably don'tunderstand much, do you, being
who you are?
Sunny (23:12):
yeah, I understand some things, but not the way you guys
track it.
Bruce (23:18):
You're kind of weird about that well, maybe so, but
anyhow, what do you say we do umseven-day earthquake report?
Sunny (23:30):
All right, I like guessing, let's do that.
Bruce (23:34):
All right, let me get it.
Hold on just a second.
Sunny (23:47):
Hey, what are you doing over on my board?
Oh, I'm just annoying you withthat time thing, like you always
do me.
Bruce (23:56):
All right, well, you got me.
Anyhow, I've got the report andthanks for trying to hurry me
along.
Sunny (24:11):
That's pretty bad, but hey, it worked, worked oh it
worked for you.
Bruce (24:15):
Okay, don't get cocky that's a rooster okay, on with
the report.
So last week, seven days ago,on 11-27, right before
Thanksgiving, we had a total of1,915 earthquakes.
(24:37):
So tell me what you think Sonnythe count's going to be for
this week.
Sunny (24:51):
All right, I think I can do this.
Oh wait a minute, don't youpush that button you did You're
such a turkey?
Bruce (25:02):
I know, wasn't that fun.
Sunny (25:05):
Not really, but okay, I think I can guess.
And haven't they been going up?
Bruce (25:18):
Well, I mean, yeah, I think they've been going up,
haven't they?
Let me look.
Well, back in, I'm stilllooking.
Don't give up on me, everybody.
On 11-8, they was 15-55.
(25:38):
On 11-15, they were 15-60.
And then on 11-27, they were19-15.
Sunny (25:52):
So what do you think?
Well, I think they're going togo back down.
Bruce (25:59):
Surely they're going to go back down, all right, well,
wait a minute.
I need to find the button.
Sunny (26:05):
Boo, what was that for?
Bruce (26:09):
Because you totally missed the boat.
Man, you was way off.
Sunny (26:14):
No way.
Okay, tell me the truth howmuch.
Bruce (26:19):
I'm not going to add it up, but last week they were at
1915, and this week we have atotal of 2,465.
Sunny (26:32):
Oh my gosh, that's a lot more.
Bruce (26:36):
There you go.
I probably would have guessed,just like you, but we have more
total earthquakes than we didlast time and that's really.
It looks like it's gonna bereally off for everything.
(26:56):
Because you know, usually I saywhen they go up in total
earthquakes, then the smallerearthquakes are higher but the
big earthquakes are lower.
Well, it's not like that thistime.
So we'll see what happens nextweek.
(27:17):
But this week the total of 2.5earthquakes we had 244 last week
so that's anything that was 2.5and over was 244 and what was
this week and I'm glad you asked, because this week we had 468
(27:45):
oh my gosh, that was higherWeird.
Yeah, very weird.
Normally they're not higher.
We just have a bunch of likeone points and stuff 1.8, and
twos no 2.5.
It usually is lower is what'sweird.
And then last week we had onthe 4.5 and above 82 of those.
(28:13):
This week we have 4.5 and over93.
Sunny (28:21):
Wow, so you're saying everything went up.
Bruce (28:26):
Yep, I'm saying everything went up, which is not
usual.
So that blows my wholephilosophy theory, whatever you
want to say.
Like I said, we'll watch itnext week and see what happens,
because the last couple times wedid this, it was seven days.
We went back.
(28:47):
This it was, uh, every it wasseven days, we went back, but we
was reporting them two weeks in, in intervals of two weeks, so
and maybe we got the the timingwrong.
We'll have to watch it and see,compare it to the last two
weeks anyway.
Um, and there was also normallywhen they go up like that, we
(29:10):
have less anything over six, sixpoint and zero, you know,
anything over that.
We have less of them, and thenwhen the count overall counts
down, we have more of all thosethat we just said.
But it's not that way this time.
But we had a 6.1, which justoccurred today in Corral I think
(29:37):
that's how you say it Islands,which is east of Alaska, west of
Asia, west of asia, so it's,it's right in there, in that
(30:01):
line that goes um, from alaskaover, there's some kind of uh, I
don't know if it's a a line ofearthquakes around that line,
and then a 6.3 in Adak, a-d-a-k.
I don't know how you pronouncethat.
Any listeners, you can send mea recording of it, that way I'll
know how to pronounce it.
(30:21):
But, adak, maybe Alaska, whichis on that line, 6.3.
And you know what's weird aboutthat?
It's east enough of Alaska.
I don't even know how theycount out Alaska, but it's out
in the ocean, kind of who knows.
(30:43):
And then we had a 7.0, andanybody heard the news they've
heard about this one in CapeMendocino, california.
It's the California earthquake.
So it's in the Cape, out in theocean, off the coast, but it
was a 7.0.
So anyway, that is theearthquake scene for the last
(31:04):
seven days.
It's really ramping upeverybody.
The last seven days.
It's really ramping upeverybody.
And I don't know if I said thisat the beginning, but there was
like five more smallerearthquakes, two points.
One point I don't remember theexact numbers, but they was
under 2.5 in the New Madridfault line area and that
(31:31):
stretches all the way down toMississippi.
So we had like four here awhile back and I reported on
them on my episode, and we justhad five more in between this
period.
I don't remember if they was atthe end of my last seven days
(31:52):
or the beginning of this lastthis seven days.
But they were right in hittingthe general in-between
physicianity all right, thanksfor the I Boy, you're getting
tongue-tied.
Sunny (32:06):
Take a breath and say it good.
Bruce (32:11):
All right, thanks for the .
I think I'll take a drink iswhat I'll do.
I got me some.
That was good.
Sunny (32:27):
What was that?
You was going to say yeah, Iwas.
And I thought, well, it wasgood.
What was?
Bruce (32:30):
that you was going to say , yeah, I was, and I thought,
well, it was ginger.
Ale I was going to say thebrand.
I thought I better not, I'm notgoing to say any brands, anyway
, yeah, so it looks like theearthquakes has picked up, which
is not a good thing.
We'll watch them, see what'sgoing on, see if they go back
(32:54):
down.
Sunny (32:56):
Yeah, it's a shame that you're doing it after the fact.
If you could do it before theyhit, you'd be a millionaire.
Bruce (33:07):
Probably not.
You know what would happen if Icould do that?
What They'd kill me.
Sunny (33:15):
Oh, they would not.
Bruce (33:17):
Oh yeah, they wouldn't want nobody predicting
earthquakes.
Anyway, let's do the.
What do we want to do?
Sunny (33:26):
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
Bruce (33:28):
Oh, I thought we'd do the seven-day corner, put the news
in there.
Sunny (33:34):
Oh no, Seven-day corner.
Haven't you come up with abetter name yet?
Bruce (33:41):
Nope, I haven't worked on it at all.
Well, how come?
Because I like using seven-daycorner.
Sunny (33:48):
Well, I don't like the way that name is.
It just makes me sound like, orit makes it sound like you're
in a corner and you're fightingyour way out.
Bruce (33:59):
Oh, it does not Does to.
Does not Does to.
Well, whether it is or not,nobody none of my listeners
emailed me or left a textmessage telling me they had a
different idea.
You haven't come up with adifferent idea, so what's it
going to be called?
(34:20):
Seven Day Corner?
Sunny (34:22):
Yeah.
Bruce (34:27):
Yeah, if you want to change something, come up with
some better ideas, don't gripeabout it.
Sunny (34:33):
Hey, I'm just doing it the American way.
Isn't that the way everybodyelse in America does it?
Bruce (34:39):
Well, I don't know about everybody, but anyway.
Wow, that was a Anyway.
Yeah, let's talk about a littlebit of the news.
Wow, that was Anyway.
Um, yeah, let's talk about alittle bit of the uh, the news.
I do have one thing kind of funto talk about.
Sunny (34:59):
Oh, what's that?
You go jumping in the mudpuddle.
Bruce (35:04):
No.
Sunny (35:06):
Well, you should, it's fun.
Bruce (35:08):
Alright.
Well, I'll take your word forit, but I'm not going to do it.
Sunny (35:13):
Oh, you're such a bummer.
Bruce (35:16):
I know, but anyway.
Hey, I got a picture from mysister from Arkansas.
Sunny (35:21):
Yeah.
Bruce (35:23):
And she sent me a picture of a post at 7 brew in Mountain
Home, arkansas hey, you need tostop that, okay, anyway, she
(35:47):
sent me a picture on my phone ofthe post.
They got two posts in betweenthe lanes there in Seven Brew
and Mountain Home and they stuckstickers on it.
And we was down there last Mayfor my mom's birthday on it.
(36:12):
And we was down there last mayfor my mom's birthday and, um,
we went through seven brew and Inoticed the sticker.
So I asked the young lady if Icould give her one of my
stickers, if she would put it onthere.
She said sure, and I gave it toher but we left.
You know, we got our order andleft and I didn't see if she'd
done it.
But my sister sent me thatpicture and, lo and behold, the
(36:32):
Ugly Quacking Duck podcaststicker was on there from May.
And my sister says you know,that thing looks brand new.
And it does.
It looks brand new, but thatpost is right at the edge of
their building, so the rooftopof their lanes hangs over it and
I'm sure it's not getting awhole lot of weather.
(36:54):
Plus, it's not been winter yet,so that ought to tell the story
.
But I'll go down there nextyear, hopefully, and give them
another one.
But isn't that cool.
The Ugly Quacking Duck podcastis at the Seven Brew in Mountain
Home.
Sunny (37:10):
Yay, yeah, are we supposed to be happy about that?
Bruce (37:19):
Well, I'm kind of happy about it because you know that's
another whole audience thatgets to see my sticker.
Speaking of stickers, if you'relistening to the show and you
want a sticker from us, email uswith your address home address,
not email address and we willship you out a sticker.
(37:42):
How's that?
We've not offered that in quitea while, but there you go.
I want a sticker where yougonna put it on your forehead.
Well, that's no, no.
Sunny (38:00):
Okay, so what if I flew around the neighborhood and
stuck it to somebody's mailbox?
Bruce (38:07):
Well, that's illegal.
Sunny (38:09):
Really why.
Bruce (38:12):
I don't know, it's just illegal.
You can't be sticking stuff onmailboxes, because that's a
mailbox property.
Sunny (38:22):
Oh, you made that up.
Bruce (38:24):
No, it's actually the post office property.
Even though you buy it and theystick mail in it, that means it
becomes federal government, soyou're not supposed to be
sticking anything on it, really.
Sunny (38:41):
Yeah, I think you made that up, just so I won't fly
around.
Bruce (38:47):
Well, if you want to stick stickers, why don't you
just take them in your beak, flyaround and you see somebody
walking, fly down there and giveit to them.
They'll see that.
And they'll fly down there andgive it to them.
They'll see that and they'llprobably take it and stick it
somewhere.
Sunny (39:03):
Okay, we'll do that.
Bruce (39:05):
All right, yeah, we'll see how that works out.
Anyway, I was kind of proud ofthat, having a sticker.
Like I said, I didn't know ifthey'd stuck that on there after
we left, but apparently theydid, so hey, cool.
I don't know if they've everlistened to the podcast, but as
(39:28):
much as I talk about 7Brew, youknow you'd think they might
listen to it and they'd say, hey, we listened to it.
But you know they're probablytoo busy working.
Sunny (39:40):
Oh yeah, too busy.
That sounds like your excuse.
Bruce (39:44):
Yeah, I'm not one of those people that can work and
come home and go back to worksomewhere else.
I just I give them 100% at workand then when I get home I'm
out of percent.
Sunny (39:56):
Oh yeah, okay, that don't make sense to me, but okay.
Bruce (40:01):
Anyhow, let's get on with the show.
Sunny (40:06):
I thought we were.
Bruce (40:07):
Yeah, okay, we are.
I got a couple more things togo over that I wrote down from
what I'd read in the news andthen, uh, we'll say goodbye to
everybody.
So hang in there just a littlebit longer and we'll tell you
some interesting stories.
And beginning with have youlistened to the reported chinese
(40:32):
commercial ship that wasinvolved in cutting underwater
communication lines in theBaltic Sea?
Anybody heard about that?
I haven't.
Well, now you have, if youhaven't heard about it before.
They reported a Chinese vesseldrug their anchor 100 miles in
(41:03):
the Baltic Sea and they cut twolines.
Now, why they were doing that,that's a big question.
I'm not going to get into that,but NATO apparently has
surrounded that ship and Ihaven't heard any more.
But NATO apparently hassurrounded that ship and I
haven't heard any more.
(41:28):
But what that did, was it?
Let me turn the page, get theinformation right it cut two
lines, one which was connectedbetween Lithuania and Sweden and
the second was between Finlandand Germany.
Now that whole idea is prettyinteresting.
And you get caught up in thefact that they're blaming the
Chinese ship and nobody knows ifthey actually did it.
(41:51):
I don't know how they're goingto prove it and what they're
going to do about it if they do,and they're trying to ask that
ship captain if he was doing itthrough information given to him
by the Russian command, or youknow.
Anyway, they're trying to blamethis and that.
But that's not the interestingpart.
(42:13):
The interesting part was thefact that this article states
the interesting part was thefact that this article states
that two cables is part of anunderground communication
network that carries you readyfor this.
Catch this word 95% of theworld's internet, or
(42:45):
international internet traffic95 percent makes you think that
all the internet is coveredthrough this wire and that they
process 10T which I don't knowif that's terabyte or 10
trillion in financialtransactions through them two
wires.
(43:05):
So what they're saying is it'spretty important.
Now I don't know if that numberhas been boosted up to make it
look worse for the people thatcut it or the fact that that's
true.
And my big thought process wasif they're using that for 95
(43:27):
percent, what's wrong with oursatellites?
Don't we have satellites that'ssupposed to be carrying that
load?
Isn't that what we're told?
And now all of a sudden they'resaying 95% of that traffic is
(43:48):
in the wire under the water.
Now there's a lot ofconspiracies that suggest that
we don't really have satellitesup there that will do all that.
They use a telephone systemnetwork which is cellular, and
they use the underground andunderwater wires.
(44:10):
I don't know.
I have no proof of either, butI think that statement makes it
very questionable you're alwaysquestioning things I don't know.
I don't know about you well,that's all right, I don't know
about me either, but uh, allright, let's go on.
(44:34):
You ready?
All right, let's go on.
Sunny (44:41):
You ready?
I'm always ready Before I fallasleep.
Give me some more news.
Bruce (44:48):
All right, again, this is just news that I find
interesting or draws myattention to it.
There's a lot more out there.
There's a lot of politicalstuff going on, there's a lot of
disease information.
I don't know if you guys haveheard this I didn't write it
down but apparently they'reinterested in this new bird flu
(45:11):
that's attacking our milk andthey are going to do I guess
they have some kind of newlegislation that's going to
allow them to go in and test themilk of farmers before it's
processed and goes to market andthey're going to test it for
(45:32):
bird flu because they're worriedit may transmit and go into the
humans, and never has thehumans ever got bird flu.
But there's a chance they might.
So they want to test for it andI don't think they've ever
found a milk with bird flu in it, uh, in america.
(45:54):
Now I'm not saying in some poorfarm somewhere else.
They haven't.
But the point being is, nowthey have the right to go in and
test and I'm telling you what'sgoing to happen there, folks,
and this is a little bit ofconspiracy, but that gives the
government the right to go inand test these poor farmers'
(46:16):
milk and nobody's going to beable to tell what they found.
But they're going to tell youwhat they found and then they're
going to go in and destroy thatmilk.
Farmer's going to lose money.
You're going to lose theability to buy milk.
All you're going to get istheir synthetic garbage milk.
(46:37):
That's not going to be good foryou and you think I'm lying or
making this up?
You just wait.
But anyhow, that's some extranews that I didn't write down.
That I thought was veryinteresting.
But did you guys hear about thelatte that was made in 11 foot
(47:00):
high cup?
That's right, ice latte.
It was put in 11 foot high cup.
It broke a world record.
Nick I don't even know if Iwant to try to pronounce the
last name Diagovanni and Duncanmade this happen.
(47:25):
It was a Duncan cup and again,it broke the world record.
So after they broke the recordand I guess they recorded it
then they took the um latte outof the 11 foot cup and put it
into serving size cups andserved it to 300 employees there
(47:48):
at duncan.
What do you think about that?
At least I guess they got itfree.
Surely they wouldn't havecharged them, would they?
I?
Sunny (48:00):
don't know.
You're telling the story.
Bruce (48:05):
You tell us.
Well, I don't know, the articledidn't say All right, wait a
minute, I forgot to do something.
Sunny (48:24):
Let me find it.
Hey, you kind of remembered todo that.
Bruce (48:27):
Yeah, I did.
I should have wrote that downStart news report with a news
alert button and then I wouldhave done it, but I didn't.
I'm you know, I'm just kind ofwinging this as I plan it.
Sunny (48:45):
What do you mean?
You're winging it as you planit.
I don't sound like you plananything.
Bruce (48:51):
Well, I kind of write stuff down and kind of give my
self thought about whatdirection I want to go in.
I just I'm doing it for aboutan hour a day during my week and
it's kind of sporadic thoughts,so it's kind of hard to put
together.
And then when I get at the endof the week and I just want to
(49:15):
do a podcast, I don't want tosit down and try to put all of
it together in an orderlyfashion.
So, yeah, it kind of getsmessed up.
But anyway, hey, did you knowthat there's a breakthrough AI?
What's AI?
Breakthrough artificialintelligence model that is going
(49:38):
to predict the weather, or haspredicted the weather,
apparently, and supposedly itwill be more accurate than the
programs they use now.
Sunny (49:50):
Does that mean anything.
Bruce (49:52):
Not really.
It means people watching TV isgoing to get more accurate news
and weather.
Not really.
It means people watching TV isgoing to get more accurate news
and weather or I shouldn't saynews weather from this AI model.
So you know what that means.
Sunny (50:05):
No, what's that mean, bruce?
Bruce (50:08):
It means we're going to have more AI in our life.
We've got AI doing this anddoing that and, I have to admit,
buzzsprout incorporated an AIto help me come up with my
(50:29):
transcript.
There you go.
I had to think about it andsome other things, but I mainly
use it to do my transcript, so Idon't have to go in and type it
up and I don't have to paysomebody else to do it, which I
ended up paying them to do itanyway.
So I don't know, but it's kindof nice to get a transcript put
(50:50):
together for the show and thatway you can follow along if you
want.
I use Podcast Guru.
I don't hardly ever talk aboutthe programs or the apps that I
use, but I do.
I've got two or three I use,but my main one that I actually
(51:13):
subscribe to for the pro versionis Podcast Guru, and if you
like your podcast app, then fine, but if you don't and you're
looking for another one, checkthat one out.
It's pretty fine.
It allows me to have thechapters of a podcast.
(51:33):
I can go in and look them up.
I can have of a podcast.
I can go in and look them up.
I can have the transcriptplaying at the same time I'm
listening, or I can have it popup on the screen in single or
double file so it kind of readsout while the podcast is playing
(51:56):
.
So every now and then, like atlunch or something, I can go out
and eat and I can show thepodcast is playing.
So every now and then, like atlunch or something, I can go out
and eat and I can watch thepodcast.
Most of the time I'm doingsomething, so I don't want to,
you know, view the screen, soI'll have the pot, my phone in
my pocket or something and I'llbe listening to it.
But it's a pretty neat app andthey have had the ability in the
(52:21):
past to do value for value.
If you sign up your stuff inthere and you have a I forget
what it's called.
I'm not working very good today, but anyway it's going to
change.
Apparently some things havewent down the pike and they're
(52:42):
changing things and new laws andstuff, so we're going to have
to wait it out and see whathappens.
But let's don't give up on that.
Speaking of value value I have awebsite, theuglyquackingduckcom
.
Go to it, check it out.
(53:02):
You can email me through thereor you can leave me a message.
You can also record a message.
There's a on the commentcontact page tells you all that
stuff.
If you want, there's also adonate buy me a coffee button.
(53:23):
There are two separate buttons,so we do it through PayPal buy
me a coffee, or we do value forvalue.
But again, that's going tochange here because of some of
the laws, so we just hang on tothat.
Anyway, I just want to take amoment to tell you the program
(53:43):
and if you want to support us,we mainly want you to go out and
tell people about us, share thepodcast.
If there's a certain episodethat you really like, tell
people to go watch it.
Or to watch it, hello, golisten to it.
I got up way too early, I cantell way too early, and I went
(54:08):
to bed way too late.
Sunny (54:09):
But anyhow, enough complaining well, I'll tell you
you need to stop it.
Get the hang of everything.
Bruce (54:21):
Well, yeah.
Sunny (54:25):
Okay, let's go on.
Bruce (54:28):
All right, I just wanted to say that much for the thing.
Our email address istheuglyquackingduck at gmailcom.
You can email us direct andalso, if you're using a podcast
app to listen to us, under thedescription or actually it's
right before the description itsays send us a text, click on
(54:50):
that, it'll bring up anotherpage and you can send us a text.
Now, if you're on a computerand it's according to what
internet browser you're using,but some of them may not have
the ability to do that.
But if you're on the phone, itworks, great.
But send us a text and we willread it and we'll shout you out
(55:14):
on the next episode.
So there you go.
One last little report.
You ready for this?
Nasa has delayed the returningof humans to the moon from 2026
to probably the middle of 2027.
(55:34):
What happened?
Really, they had to delay itagain.
Well, according to the report,they had a flawed heat shield.
Remember them?
Heat shields that seemed to notwork right?
Or fly off of the ships whenthey're landing, anyway, yep.
(55:58):
So off of the ships whenthey're landing, anyway, yep.
So somehow they're still havingproblems with this ship that
they're building.
But 1969, we went up there,landed in a tin can and then
flew back to earth in anothertin can.
So so you just figure that oneout.
(56:20):
That's all I'm saying.
Sunny (56:23):
Well, I hope that's all you're saying.
Bruce (56:25):
You're going to get in trouble.
Nope, not at all.
I'm on a podcast and I canpretty well say what I want, and
nobody will believe me.
Anyway, They'll all think I'mfull of you-know-what.
Sunny (56:39):
What are you full of Hot air?
Bruce (56:43):
You said it.
I didn't, but that's not true.
Anyhow, what do you say?
We say goodbye to our followersand our listeners and our
friends.
Sunny (56:53):
All right, I think that'd be a good idea and give them a
chance to break.
Bruce (57:00):
Yep, I've been on this for about an hour and I didn't
realize it's been that long.
So I apologize to everybody,but I hope I kept you company
and gave you something else tothink about and wallow around
about, besides your misery.
Sunny (57:17):
Okay, if you say so.
Bruce (57:21):
Okay, I say so, but we want to thank you for everybody
for being on here, being with us, and we want to see you come
back.
Tell a friend again.
If you feel like donatingfinancially, you can go on our
website or you can go on ourlink on our podcast page and
(57:43):
there's a link there you canfill out.
But anyhow, stay good, staysafe and we will see you on the
radio next week, hopefully.
This is Bruce.
Sunny (57:59):
This is Sonny.
Bruce (58:01):
Yep, and you ready, sonny .
Sunny (58:04):
I'm ready.
Bruce (58:05):
All right, we're going to do it now.
What are we going to do?
Oh, we're going to say bye, youready.
Sunny (58:12):
I just said I'm ready.
Bruce (58:14):
Okay, here we go, bye, all right.
Here we go, bye, all right.
That sounded good.
Thank you, folks.
Have a good day.
73.
And may the Father's blessingsgo with you.
Do you know what time it is?
Sunny (00:06):
What time is it?
Bruce (00:09):
Well, it's time for the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast with
a new episode.
That was downright good, I haveto say.
I think we sunk, sank.
We got it together.
(00:30):
How about that?
Sunny (00:32):
Well, I like that.
We did get it together too.
Yes, we did.
What are we doing on the air?
Why are we recording a newepisode?
Bruce (00:49):
Well, sunny, I'll tell you why.
I know we do one every coupleweeks, or we started doing them
every couple weeks, but there'sa couple things that happened,
uh this week that I wanted toget uh or I should say last week
, because we're recording onsunday and this is a new week
starting, but I didn't want towait two weeks to talk about it.
(01:09):
So the first thing happenedthat made me decide to go ahead
and do a podcast episode wasCalifornia had a 7.0 earthquake.
Yeah, you heard me right.
It was actually in the ocean,off the coast.
They had a tsunami warning andeverything.
(01:32):
They ended up canceling thewarning.
I'm not sure there was anybodyhurt.
I didn't hear anything.
But that's getting too close tohome, man.
Sunny (01:44):
Well, I'd say it is.
That's kind of scary.
Surely you didn't want to talkabout an earthquake.
I mean we could have waited onthat.
Bruce (01:58):
No, I wanted to also.
I don't talk politically mostof the time on the podcast, but
I wanted to bring up onepolitical thing.
You know you can't say never,and I don't think I said never,
but anywho, for you listenersthat just found us or that are
(02:18):
faithfully coming back, this isepisode 94.
We're glad to have you, andthis is Bruce of the Ugly.
Sunny (02:31):
Quacking Duck podcast.
Bruce (02:38):
And I'm Sunny and you've already heard our introduction
and I think we did a good job.
Sunny (02:45):
I think we did too Sunny Good to have you aboard this
morning or actually, it'safternoon now.
Well, it's good to be aboard.
I enjoy this a lot, and you dotoo.
Bruce (02:53):
Oh yeah, I enjoy having you and all the companies and
visitors and all those that comeaboard, and I'd like to have
more.
I'd like to keep going.
Sunny (03:06):
Well, I would too.
I'd like to do this forever andever, and ever.
Bruce (03:12):
You think podcasting will be around forever and ever and
ever.
Sunny (03:16):
Well, I hope so, but you know how governments are.
They'll get tired of hearingfree speech and they'll start
making laws and you'll have toget certificates and license and
blah, blah, blah.
Bruce (03:34):
Oh my gosh, you're starting to sound like me now.
Sunny (03:37):
Well, I have been around you for a few years, so you know
.
Bruce (03:43):
Yeah, you have, and I've rubbed off on you.
Is that what you're saying?
Well, sort of well, anyway,yeah, um, I'd like to see it go
on and on and on.
Um, this is one of the morefree uh, what programs out there
(04:04):
.
It's not going to stay that waylong, probably because there's
going to be lots of changes, butuntil then, we're going to keep
podcasting.
Sunny (04:16):
Oh yeah, Isn't that Buzzsprout's theme?
Bruce (04:20):
Yeah, I think it is.
It's what Start podcasting,keep podcasting.
I think Don't quote me on that,but yeah, I think it is.
It's what uh, start podcasting,keep podcasting.
I think don't quote me on that,but yeah, I think it is all
right, so we started and we'regonna keep yep, we're gonna keep
rolling rolling, rolling,rolling no, I don't think that's
(04:40):
how that song goes, but anyhow,again, we want to welcome all
of our listeners and if you'renew to the Ugly Quacking Duck
podcast, welcome aboard.
If you're one of our all-timelisteners and favorite listeners
and helpers, we're glad to haveyou back.
Man, we really are, and we justwant to keep on keeping on
(05:06):
there.
You go, that's it.
I plead the Fifth Amendment.
Sunny (05:17):
Hey, hey, hey hey, hey.
That sounds like Fat Albert andthe Cosby Kids.
Bruce (05:30):
Oh my gosh, that brings back old memories.
How did you know that I'maround?
Well, you're around, all right,but I don't know about being
around.
But anyhow, yeah, you got thatright.
Boy, that brings back old timememories.
Anyway, let's still right.
Boy, that brings back old-timememories.
Anyway, let's don't talk aboutstuff like that.
They'll think we're old or I'mold anyway.
Sunny (05:51):
You are old what the heck .
You're very old, you're ancient, and I don't know what else.
Bruce (06:00):
Well, I'm glad you stopped there, man.
You're starting to make me feelbad, and you know that's not
good for us old-timers.
Sunny (06:07):
Ha ha, you did admit it.
Bruce (06:10):
I didn't admit nothing.
I just thought it would soundgood for the project.
Sunny (06:15):
Okay, well, anyhow, bruce , how you been this week?
Bruce (06:21):
Well, sonny, I've been working.
I went to the eye doctor, got agood exam and I got to go back
six months.
He keeps me coming in every sixmonths since my little episode
with that left eye, but anyhow Igot a good.
What do they call it goodphysical?
(06:43):
I'm not sure what they call itwhen eye doctors look at your
eye, but anyhow, six months Iget to go back and find out if
I'm still doing it good.
Sunny (06:54):
Okay, so that's good news .
Is that what you're saying?
Bruce (06:59):
Yep, good news.
And the rest of the week I justworked, work, work, work, work.
Um.
Anyhow, we're uh off today.
So between trying to get stuffdone around the house, running
around doing stuff, and thengetting back here and trying to
do some podcasting, which youknow, I'd like to get everything
(07:21):
out of the way so I can sitdown and podcast and concentrate
on what I'm trying to sayinstead of what I want to get
done, and that doesn't work realgood sometimes, but here we are
.
Sunny (07:33):
Yeah, here we are.
I'm glad we're here.
I've had a pretty good week.
I've been busy.
It's been warm the last coupledays, so everybody's been
running around.
Hey, did you know, bruce?
You had a tree fall down.
Bruce (07:52):
I did, sonny, I did.
It was a tree that I had two ofmy different wire antennas
attached to.
It was like an anchoring,anchoring point.
I don't know if I said thatcorrectly or not.
Sunny (08:08):
Well, it sounded like you said an anchoring report.
Bruce (08:14):
Oh, it didn't either, but anyway, oh man.
Anyway, yes, I noticed it felldown.
I went out there and detachedthe ropes and the insulators off
of it because it snapped mywire.
I had one array that had 160,20, 80, and 40 on it and the 80
(08:42):
wire was attached to that tree,snapped it.
And then, um, I've got avertical with a 20 and a 40 wire
attached to it and the verticalis a 17 meter and it snapped a
40 meter wire.
I went ahead and rolled thatone up and I couldn't roll up
(09:14):
the array wire because it'shanging 60 foot in the air, so I
just tied it around a post andI haven't checked the SWR on
that antenna May not be able touse it.
And the other one's the onethat got hooked to my new sid
array or receiver, and I didnotice that the receive signal
had went down on the lower endand I don't know if that was
(09:38):
just because, um, the noise hadquit coming in or if that
antenna was down.
So I'll just have to watch itand see what happens.
I'm still getting the twosignals that I monitor for the
SID, which is Sudden IonicSpheric Disturbance.
(10:01):
So they're still up.
I'm getting those.
So I'm not worried about thatantenna really right now.
Anyhow, for all you that'sprobably bored by now.
I had a tree go down.
It was hollow in the center,like many of our trees over here
.
I don't know what's causingthat, but I've got a bunch of
(10:22):
them.
They're coming down, they'vebeen coming down and it just
hurts when you see that old treego down.
Sunny (10:33):
Yeah, yeah, especially for the birds and the squirrels
and the raccoons.
They use that for a nest andnot no more.
Bruce (10:43):
Yeah, you got that right.
There's been a lot of squirrelsrunning up down that tree just
here recently, so they're goingto be very upset.
I don't know, man, it's goingto be hard to grow that big a
tree in my new new big tree inmy lifetime, so we'll have to
see what happens.
But anyway, yes, I noticed itin my lifetime, so we'll have to
(11:05):
see what happens.
But anyway, yes, I noticed it.
I went out and tried to removeanything that had occurred on my
antennas.
And there we are.
Sunny (11:16):
What are you going to do about antennas?
Bruce (11:19):
Well, if my array no longer works, I'm not going to
climb that 65-foot tower.
I'm pretty well done with that.
So I'll have to come up with anew type of antenna.
I don't know what it'll be Kindof a bummer.
Sunny (11:34):
Well, maybe it'll go ahead and work.
Let's be positive.
Bruce (11:40):
There you go, Sonny.
That's a good idea.
Let's be positive.
We will be positive.
We're going to think it's goingto go ahead and work, even
though it shouldn't.
That wire's wrapped around thatpost and it's probably grounded
out, but we'll check it and see.
Sunny (11:58):
There you go Onward with the show.
What episode did you say this?
Bruce (12:06):
is 94.
We're into 94 on season 5.
And, like I said, last time wechanged the account so it just
reflects how many podcasts we'vegot recorded and stored on
Buzzsprout.
Sunny (12:24):
Oh yeah, that'sout.
Oh yeah, that's right.
Okay, I forgot you'd said that.
Bruce (12:30):
Now don't be forgetting stuff, because you're starting
to really sound like me.
Sunny (12:36):
Ah, boney, so are we going to get into your political
talk.
Bruce (12:43):
Yeah, we might as well.
We might as well get into thatand get out of that.
Maybe do a short podcast if youdon't talk too much.
Sunny (12:52):
Don't be blaming me.
Bruce (12:55):
Why not, Anyway?
Yeah, we had a politicaloccurrence.
There you go.
That's a good word for it.
Sunny (13:04):
Oh yeah, occurrence I see .
Bruce (13:08):
Yeah, occurrence that happened this week and everybody
knows our president and hisname is Biden and he has a son
named Hunter Biden andapparently Hunter Biden had been
doing some illegal things forthe last several years I'm
(13:32):
talking 10, 15.
And they got to investigatinghim and I think they was getting
ready to rule on theinvestigations.
I don't know if he'd been totrial.
I don't know what was going on.
I don't pay attention to thatstuff because it's just a show.
I mean, we are in a movietheater and we're watching the
(13:55):
show, but anyhow, what do youmean?
Sunny (13:58):
we're watching a show.
Explain yourself, dude.
Bruce (14:03):
I don't think I will.
Sunny (14:05):
Oh, come on.
Bruce (14:07):
Nope, I don't want to get into that, but uh, if, uh, if
you know, you know is what theyalways say, but I I'm not going
to use that phrase, but I guessI just did yeah, you did all
right.
Well, they say that we arewatching a show.
A and all this stuff is justactors and they're just trying
(14:33):
to fool the public and I don'tknow about any of that.
But onward with our show, ourepisode.
Quintin interrupted me.
Sunny (14:45):
Wait, did you just tell me Quintin interrupted you?
Yeah, okay, so I thought that'swhy you brought me on to be
part of the show and interruptyou.
Bruce (15:02):
Um, yeah, maybe Okay.
So what are you saying?
Sunny (15:15):
I'm saying hi, sonny, I see you over there.
Hi, bruce, I see you over there.
Um, I still don't understandthat's because you're a duck,
hey, hey, maybe I'm an alien?
Bruce (15:29):
Yeah, maybe you are.
You do live on the water someof the time and apparently they
have discovered now I won't getinto that, this episode, but
that the ocean's full of aliens.
Sunny (15:46):
Oh really, they're just now saying that, huh, they've
known it forever.
Bruce (15:53):
Yeah, anybody that works on the ocean or lives on the
ocean can tell you the samething.
But again, I'm not sure they'reactually aliens.
They like to throw that wordaround and that description of
things and creatures and beingsthat they don't understand, that
are not exactly human like theyare.
Sunny (16:16):
Um, it's just a catch-all oh okay, yeah, onward with the
story he was on a while ago.
Bruce (16:28):
Okay, anyway, hunter Biden, he was getting ready to
get nailed and I guess becauseour new president is coming in
and appointing some new cabinetmembers and some of them are
going to be hotheads, if I canuse that word, and they're kind
(16:48):
of scaring some of the peoplethat's in charge and been doing
things.
And anyway, to make a longstory short, our President Biden
said that he would not pardonhis son.
Multiple times.
He said that, his presssecretary said that multiple
(17:12):
times and then the other day hepardoned Hunter Biden.
And I'm not going to debatewhether it was right or wrong or
whether you know he'sprotecting his son or not
protecting his son, whether heshould have done it.
I'm just going to stay that,after him saying all that he's
(17:37):
not going to, no, he's not, hehas no plans, and then he did it
.
It's kind of funny if you findhumor in stuff like that, which
I do.
Sunny (17:48):
Oh well, you find humor in stuff like that which I do.
Oh well, you find humor inweird stuff.
Bruce (17:53):
I do, I really do.
But I know there's lots andlots and lots of Americans out
there that find humor in thatstuff too.
And I don't mean humor like youlaugh at some joke.
I'm talking maybe about what.
What do they call that Satirewhen it's?
I'll have to look that up.
(18:16):
But anyway, yeah, I find thatkind of funny, interesting,
bizarre.
How's that sound?
Sunny (18:25):
Bizarre, sounds weird.
What's that popping noise Ikeep hearing?
Bruce (18:32):
uh, I've noticed that too and I hope our audience has not
heard that.
But I think that is the um.
I'm not sure.
I think it's the mic.
When I hit the buttons kind oftap my finger here.
Let me try it, is that it?
Sunny (18:52):
Yeah, that's it Okay.
Yeah, it's a quick tapping.
Bruce (18:59):
Well, I'm sorry.
I've got my pen over here thatI use to adjust things and I'm
tapping it on the table as Italk, and I think that's what's
doing it.
Sunny (19:14):
Well, stop tapping, good grief.
Bruce (19:18):
Uh no.
Sunny (19:20):
Oh, what do you mean?
No, well, okay, no.
Bruce (19:26):
Well, thanks for oh boy.
Thanks for clearing that up forme, and I'm going along with me
.
Sunny (19:36):
Well, might as well.
I can't get any truth out ofyou.
Bruce (19:40):
What's that have to do with truth?
Sunny (19:42):
I don't know.
I just said that.
Bruce (19:45):
You really are acting like me today.
Sunny (19:49):
Well, that's really scary .
Sorry folks, I don't mean to bescaring you like that.
Two of Bruce isn't too much.
Bruce (20:00):
Hey, why do you say that?
Sunny (20:04):
What do you mean?
Why do I say that?
Anybody listening would agreewith me?
Bruce (20:11):
Okay, anyway, that's what I want to talk about, about the
political scene.
Like I said, I usually don'ttalk about the political scene.
I try to change the subject towhat we do in a podcast so that
people have something differentto think about, and usually it's
pretty boring, but that's worthnoting.
(20:34):
We won't get in any kind ofjudgment about it or why, or why
not it should have happened orshouldn't have.
We just want to bringeverybody's alertness up and I'm
sure everybody's heard that bynow.
I can't think of anybody thatwouldn't have.
(20:55):
If you're following anybody onsocial media or if you're
listening to any kind of newswhich I think the news is kind
of losing popularity, any kindof news which I think the news
is kind of losing popularity, um, I get most of mine from, uh,
(21:19):
social media very little, but Iget some from social media.
And then I've got a couplesites I visit but very little tv
news or radio news.
Do I get anything from anymore?
Just can't trust them news.
Do I get anything?
Sunny (21:32):
from anymore.
Just can't trust them, and youknow that's true.
Oh yeah, no, that's true forsure.
What are we gonna do now?
Good grease, that was a bumbummer, boring bummer yeah, it
was kind of a bummer.
Bruce (21:48):
Anyhow, ashow, as I'm looking outside, it's very windy
the last couple days.
It's supposed to rain.
Tonight they're saying it'llstart about 6 or 7 in the
evening.
So southern Illinois is goingto get some rain and then I
don't know what it's supposed todo Probably get cold again.
And it just warmed up, but it'sbeen miserably cold for the
(22:12):
last few days beginning of theweek.
And then what is this?
Friday and Saturday it warmedup, which was nice, but I don't
think it's going to last.
You know we are in December andthe 21st is the salt of salt,
(22:32):
however you say that, and thatmeans it's going to be the
shortest day of the year andit's going to be cold probably,
and then we've got January to gothrough Brr.
I hate to even think about it.
Sunny (22:49):
What do you mean, brr?
What's January?
Bruce (22:53):
Well, that's usually January.
February is usually cold months, we're getting into the dead of
winter and things are gettingcold, cold, cold.
But yeah, you probably don'tunderstand much, do you, being
who you are?
Sunny (23:12):
yeah, I understand some things, but not the way you guys
track it.
Bruce (23:18):
You're kind of weird about that well, maybe so, but
anyhow, what do you say we do umseven-day earthquake report?
Sunny (23:30):
All right, I like guessing, let's do that.
Bruce (23:34):
All right, let me get it.
Hold on just a second.
Sunny (23:47):
Hey, what are you doing over on my board?
Oh, I'm just annoying you withthat time thing, like you always
do me.
Bruce (23:56):
All right, well, you got me.
Anyhow, I've got the report andthanks for trying to hurry me
along.
Sunny (24:11):
That's pretty bad, but hey, it worked, worked oh it
worked for you.
Bruce (24:15):
Okay, don't get cocky that's a rooster okay, on with
the report.
So last week, seven days ago,on 11-27, right before
Thanksgiving, we had a total of1,915 earthquakes.
(24:37):
So tell me what you think Sonnythe count's going to be for
this week.
Sunny (24:51):
All right, I think I can do this.
Oh wait a minute, don't youpush that button you did You're
such a turkey?
Bruce (25:02):
I know, wasn't that fun.
Sunny (25:05):
Not really, but okay, I think I can guess.
And haven't they been going up?
Bruce (25:18):
Well, I mean, yeah, I think they've been going up,
haven't they?
Let me look.
Well, back in, I'm stilllooking.
Don't give up on me, everybody.
On 11-8, they was 15-55.
(25:38):
On 11-15, they were 15-60.
And then on 11-27, they were19-15.
Sunny (25:52):
So what do you think?
Well, I think they're going togo back down.
Bruce (25:59):
Surely they're going to go back down, all right, well,
wait a minute.
I need to find the button.
Sunny (26:05):
Boo, what was that for?
Bruce (26:09):
Because you totally missed the boat.
Man, you was way off.
Sunny (26:14):
No way.
Okay, tell me the truth howmuch.
Bruce (26:19):
I'm not going to add it up, but last week they were at
1915, and this week we have atotal of 2,465.
Sunny (26:32):
Oh my gosh, that's a lot more.
Bruce (26:36):
There you go.
I probably would have guessed,just like you, but we have more
total earthquakes than we didlast time and that's really.
It looks like it's gonna bereally off for everything.
(26:56):
Because you know, usually I saywhen they go up in total
earthquakes, then the smallerearthquakes are higher but the
big earthquakes are lower.
Well, it's not like that thistime.
So we'll see what happens nextweek.
(27:17):
But this week the total of 2.5earthquakes we had 244 last week
so that's anything that was 2.5and over was 244 and what was
this week and I'm glad you asked, because this week we had 468
(27:45):
oh my gosh, that was higherWeird.
Yeah, very weird.
Normally they're not higher.
We just have a bunch of likeone points and stuff 1.8, and
twos no 2.5.
It usually is lower is what'sweird.
And then last week we had onthe 4.5 and above 82 of those.
(28:13):
This week we have 4.5 and over93.
Sunny (28:21):
Wow, so you're saying everything went up.
Bruce (28:26):
Yep, I'm saying everything went up, which is not
usual.
So that blows my wholephilosophy theory, whatever you
want to say.
Like I said, we'll watch itnext week and see what happens,
because the last couple times wedid this, it was seven days.
We went back.
(28:47):
This it was, uh, every it wasseven days, we went back, but we
was reporting them two weeks in, in intervals of two weeks, so
and maybe we got the the timingwrong.
We'll have to watch it and see,compare it to the last two
weeks anyway.
Um, and there was also normallywhen they go up like that, we
(29:10):
have less anything over six, sixpoint and zero, you know,
anything over that.
We have less of them, and thenwhen the count overall counts
down, we have more of all thosethat we just said.
But it's not that way this time.
But we had a 6.1, which justoccurred today in Corral I think
(29:37):
that's how you say it Islands,which is east of Alaska, west of
Asia, west of asia, so it's,it's right in there, in that
(30:01):
line that goes um, from alaskaover, there's some kind of uh, I
don't know if it's a a line ofearthquakes around that line,
and then a 6.3 in Adak, a-d-a-k.
I don't know how you pronouncethat.
Any listeners, you can send mea recording of it, that way I'll
know how to pronounce it.
(30:21):
But, adak, maybe Alaska, whichis on that line, 6.3.
And you know what's weird aboutthat?
It's east enough of Alaska.
I don't even know how theycount out Alaska, but it's out
in the ocean, kind of who knows.
(30:43):
And then we had a 7.0, andanybody heard the news they've
heard about this one in CapeMendocino, california.
It's the California earthquake.
So it's in the Cape, out in theocean, off the coast, but it
was a 7.0.
So anyway, that is theearthquake scene for the last
(31:04):
seven days.
It's really ramping upeverybody.
The last seven days.
It's really ramping upeverybody.
And I don't know if I said thisat the beginning, but there was
like five more smallerearthquakes, two points.
One point I don't remember theexact numbers, but they was
under 2.5 in the New Madridfault line area and that
(31:31):
stretches all the way down toMississippi.
So we had like four here awhile back and I reported on
them on my episode, and we justhad five more in between this
period.
I don't remember if they was atthe end of my last seven days
(31:52):
or the beginning of this lastthis seven days.
But they were right in hittingthe general in-between
physicianity all right, thanksfor the I Boy, you're getting
tongue-tied.
Sunny (32:06):
Take a breath and say it good.
Bruce (32:11):
All right, thanks for the .
I think I'll take a drink iswhat I'll do.
I got me some.
That was good.
Sunny (32:27):
What was that?
You was going to say yeah, Iwas.
And I thought, well, it wasgood.
What was?
Bruce (32:30):
that you was going to say , yeah, I was, and I thought,
well, it was ginger.
Ale I was going to say thebrand.
I thought I better not, I'm notgoing to say any brands, anyway
, yeah, so it looks like theearthquakes has picked up, which
is not a good thing.
We'll watch them, see what'sgoing on, see if they go back
(32:54):
down.
Sunny (32:56):
Yeah, it's a shame that you're doing it after the fact.
If you could do it before theyhit, you'd be a millionaire.
Bruce (33:07):
Probably not.
You know what would happen if Icould do that?
What They'd kill me.
Sunny (33:15):
Oh, they would not.
Bruce (33:17):
Oh yeah, they wouldn't want nobody predicting
earthquakes.
Anyway, let's do the.
What do we want to do?
Sunny (33:26):
I don't know.
What do you want to do?
Bruce (33:28):
Oh, I thought we'd do the seven-day corner, put the news
in there.
Sunny (33:34):
Oh no, Seven-day corner.
Haven't you come up with abetter name yet?
Bruce (33:41):
Nope, I haven't worked on it at all.
Well, how come?
Because I like using seven-daycorner.
Sunny (33:48):
Well, I don't like the way that name is.
It just makes me sound like, orit makes it sound like you're
in a corner and you're fightingyour way out.
Bruce (33:59):
Oh, it does not Does to.
Does not Does to.
Well, whether it is or not,nobody none of my listeners
emailed me or left a textmessage telling me they had a
different idea.
You haven't come up with adifferent idea, so what's it
going to be called?
(34:20):
Seven Day Corner?
Sunny (34:22):
Yeah.
Bruce (34:27):
Yeah, if you want to change something, come up with
some better ideas, don't gripeabout it.
Sunny (34:33):
Hey, I'm just doing it the American way.
Isn't that the way everybodyelse in America does it?
Bruce (34:39):
Well, I don't know about everybody, but anyway.
Wow, that was a Anyway.
Yeah, let's talk about a littlebit of the news.
Wow, that was Anyway.
Um, yeah, let's talk about alittle bit of the uh, the news.
I do have one thing kind of funto talk about.
Sunny (34:59):
Oh, what's that?
You go jumping in the mudpuddle.
Bruce (35:04):
No.
Sunny (35:06):
Well, you should, it's fun.
Bruce (35:08):
Alright.
Well, I'll take your word forit, but I'm not going to do it.
Sunny (35:13):
Oh, you're such a bummer.
Bruce (35:16):
I know, but anyway.
Hey, I got a picture from mysister from Arkansas.
Sunny (35:21):
Yeah.
Bruce (35:23):
And she sent me a picture of a post at 7 brew in Mountain
Home, arkansas hey, you need tostop that, okay, anyway, she
(35:47):
sent me a picture on my phone ofthe post.
They got two posts in betweenthe lanes there in Seven Brew
and Mountain Home and they stuckstickers on it.
And we was down there last Mayfor my mom's birthday on it.
(36:12):
And we was down there last mayfor my mom's birthday and, um,
we went through seven brew and Inoticed the sticker.
So I asked the young lady if Icould give her one of my
stickers, if she would put it onthere.
She said sure, and I gave it toher but we left.
You know, we got our order andleft and I didn't see if she'd
done it.
But my sister sent me thatpicture and, lo and behold, the
(36:32):
Ugly Quacking Duck podcaststicker was on there from May.
And my sister says you know,that thing looks brand new.
And it does.
It looks brand new, but thatpost is right at the edge of
their building, so the rooftopof their lanes hangs over it and
I'm sure it's not getting awhole lot of weather.
(36:54):
Plus, it's not been winter yet,so that ought to tell the story
.
But I'll go down there nextyear, hopefully, and give them
another one.
But isn't that cool.
The Ugly Quacking Duck podcastis at the Seven Brew in Mountain
Home.
Sunny (37:10):
Yay, yeah, are we supposed to be happy about that?
Bruce (37:19):
Well, I'm kind of happy about it because you know that's
another whole audience thatgets to see my sticker.
Speaking of stickers, if you'relistening to the show and you
want a sticker from us, email uswith your address home address,
not email address and we willship you out a sticker.
(37:42):
How's that?
We've not offered that in quitea while, but there you go.
I want a sticker where yougonna put it on your forehead.
Well, that's no, no.
Sunny (38:00):
Okay, so what if I flew around the neighborhood and
stuck it to somebody's mailbox?
Bruce (38:07):
Well, that's illegal.
Sunny (38:09):
Really why.
Bruce (38:12):
I don't know, it's just illegal.
You can't be sticking stuff onmailboxes, because that's a
mailbox property.
Sunny (38:22):
Oh, you made that up.
Bruce (38:24):
No, it's actually the post office property.
Even though you buy it and theystick mail in it, that means it
becomes federal government, soyou're not supposed to be
sticking anything on it, really.
Sunny (38:41):
Yeah, I think you made that up, just so I won't fly
around.
Bruce (38:47):
Well, if you want to stick stickers, why don't you
just take them in your beak, flyaround and you see somebody
walking, fly down there and giveit to them.
They'll see that.
And they'll fly down there andgive it to them.
They'll see that and they'llprobably take it and stick it
somewhere.
Sunny (39:03):
Okay, we'll do that.
Bruce (39:05):
All right, yeah, we'll see how that works out.
Anyway, I was kind of proud ofthat, having a sticker.
Like I said, I didn't know ifthey'd stuck that on there after
we left, but apparently theydid, so hey, cool.
I don't know if they've everlistened to the podcast, but as
(39:28):
much as I talk about 7Brew, youknow you'd think they might
listen to it and they'd say, hey, we listened to it.
But you know they're probablytoo busy working.
Sunny (39:40):
Oh yeah, too busy.
That sounds like your excuse.
Bruce (39:44):
Yeah, I'm not one of those people that can work and
come home and go back to worksomewhere else.
I just I give them 100% at workand then when I get home I'm
out of percent.
Sunny (39:56):
Oh yeah, okay, that don't make sense to me, but okay.
Bruce (40:01):
Anyhow, let's get on with the show.
Sunny (40:06):
I thought we were.
Bruce (40:07):
Yeah, okay, we are.
I got a couple more things togo over that I wrote down from
what I'd read in the news andthen, uh, we'll say goodbye to
everybody.
So hang in there just a littlebit longer and we'll tell you
some interesting stories.
And beginning with have youlistened to the reported chinese
(40:32):
commercial ship that wasinvolved in cutting underwater
communication lines in theBaltic Sea?
Anybody heard about that?
I haven't.
Well, now you have, if youhaven't heard about it before.
They reported a Chinese vesseldrug their anchor 100 miles in
(41:03):
the Baltic Sea and they cut twolines.
Now, why they were doing that,that's a big question.
I'm not going to get into that,but NATO apparently has
surrounded that ship and Ihaven't heard any more.
But NATO apparently hassurrounded that ship and I
haven't heard any more.
(41:28):
But what that did, was it?
Let me turn the page, get theinformation right it cut two
lines, one which was connectedbetween Lithuania and Sweden and
the second was between Finlandand Germany.
Now that whole idea is prettyinteresting.
And you get caught up in thefact that they're blaming the
Chinese ship and nobody knows ifthey actually did it.
(41:51):
I don't know how they're goingto prove it and what they're
going to do about it if they do,and they're trying to ask that
ship captain if he was doing itthrough information given to him
by the Russian command, or youknow.
Anyway, they're trying to blamethis and that.
But that's not the interestingpart.
(42:13):
The interesting part was thefact that this article states
the interesting part was thefact that this article states
that two cables is part of anunderground communication
network that carries you readyfor this.
Catch this word 95% of theworld's internet, or
(42:45):
international internet traffic95 percent makes you think that
all the internet is coveredthrough this wire and that they
process 10T which I don't knowif that's terabyte or 10
trillion in financialtransactions through them two
wires.
(43:05):
So what they're saying is it'spretty important.
Now I don't know if that numberhas been boosted up to make it
look worse for the people thatcut it or the fact that that's
true.
And my big thought process wasif they're using that for 95
(43:27):
percent, what's wrong with oursatellites?
Don't we have satellites that'ssupposed to be carrying that
load?
Isn't that what we're told?
And now all of a sudden they'resaying 95% of that traffic is
(43:48):
in the wire under the water.
Now there's a lot ofconspiracies that suggest that
we don't really have satellitesup there that will do all that.
They use a telephone systemnetwork which is cellular, and
they use the underground andunderwater wires.
(44:10):
I don't know.
I have no proof of either, butI think that statement makes it
very questionable you're alwaysquestioning things I don't know.
I don't know about you well,that's all right, I don't know
about me either, but uh, allright, let's go on.
(44:34):
You ready?
All right, let's go on.
Sunny (44:41):
You ready?
I'm always ready Before I fallasleep.
Give me some more news.
Bruce (44:48):
All right, again, this is just news that I find
interesting or draws myattention to it.
There's a lot more out there.
There's a lot of politicalstuff going on, there's a lot of
disease information.
I don't know if you guys haveheard this I didn't write it
down but apparently they'reinterested in this new bird flu
(45:11):
that's attacking our milk andthey are going to do I guess
they have some kind of newlegislation that's going to
allow them to go in and test themilk of farmers before it's
processed and goes to market andthey're going to test it for
(45:32):
bird flu because they're worriedit may transmit and go into the
humans, and never has thehumans ever got bird flu.
But there's a chance they might.
So they want to test for it andI don't think they've ever
found a milk with bird flu in it, uh, in america.
(45:54):
Now I'm not saying in some poorfarm somewhere else.
They haven't.
But the point being is, nowthey have the right to go in and
test and I'm telling you what'sgoing to happen there, folks,
and this is a little bit ofconspiracy, but that gives the
government the right to go inand test these poor farmers'
(46:16):
milk and nobody's going to beable to tell what they found.
But they're going to tell youwhat they found and then they're
going to go in and destroy thatmilk.
Farmer's going to lose money.
You're going to lose theability to buy milk.
All you're going to get istheir synthetic garbage milk.
(46:37):
That's not going to be good foryou and you think I'm lying or
making this up?
You just wait.
But anyhow, that's some extranews that I didn't write down.
That I thought was veryinteresting.
But did you guys hear about thelatte that was made in 11 foot
(47:00):
high cup?
That's right, ice latte.
It was put in 11 foot high cup.
It broke a world record.
Nick I don't even know if Iwant to try to pronounce the
last name Diagovanni and Duncanmade this happen.
(47:25):
It was a Duncan cup and again,it broke the world record.
So after they broke the recordand I guess they recorded it
then they took the um latte outof the 11 foot cup and put it
into serving size cups andserved it to 300 employees there
(47:48):
at duncan.
What do you think about that?
At least I guess they got itfree.
Surely they wouldn't havecharged them, would they?
I?
Sunny (48:00):
don't know.
You're telling the story.
Bruce (48:05):
You tell us.
Well, I don't know, the articledidn't say All right, wait a
minute, I forgot to do something.
Sunny (48:24):
Let me find it.
Hey, you kind of remembered todo that.
Bruce (48:27):
Yeah, I did.
I should have wrote that downStart news report with a news
alert button and then I wouldhave done it, but I didn't.
I'm you know, I'm just kind ofwinging this as I plan it.
Sunny (48:45):
What do you mean?
You're winging it as you planit.
I don't sound like you plananything.
Bruce (48:51):
Well, I kind of write stuff down and kind of give my
self thought about whatdirection I want to go in.
I just I'm doing it for aboutan hour a day during my week and
it's kind of sporadic thoughts,so it's kind of hard to put
together.
And then when I get at the endof the week and I just want to
(49:15):
do a podcast, I don't want tosit down and try to put all of
it together in an orderlyfashion.
So, yeah, it kind of getsmessed up.
But anyway, hey, did you knowthat there's a breakthrough AI?
What's AI?
Breakthrough artificialintelligence model that is going
(49:38):
to predict the weather, or haspredicted the weather,
apparently, and supposedly itwill be more accurate than the
programs they use now.
Sunny (49:50):
Does that mean anything.
Bruce (49:52):
Not really.
It means people watching TV isgoing to get more accurate news
and weather.
Not really.
It means people watching TV isgoing to get more accurate news
and weather or I shouldn't saynews weather from this AI model.
So you know what that means.
Sunny (50:05):
No, what's that mean, bruce?
Bruce (50:08):
It means we're going to have more AI in our life.
We've got AI doing this anddoing that and, I have to admit,
buzzsprout incorporated an AIto help me come up with my
(50:29):
transcript.
There you go.
I had to think about it andsome other things, but I mainly
use it to do my transcript, so Idon't have to go in and type it
up and I don't have to paysomebody else to do it, which I
ended up paying them to do itanyway.
So I don't know, but it's kindof nice to get a transcript put
(50:50):
together for the show and thatway you can follow along if you
want.
I use Podcast Guru.
I don't hardly ever talk aboutthe programs or the apps that I
use, but I do.
I've got two or three I use,but my main one that I actually
(51:13):
subscribe to for the pro versionis Podcast Guru, and if you
like your podcast app, then fine, but if you don't and you're
looking for another one, checkthat one out.
It's pretty fine.
It allows me to have thechapters of a podcast.
(51:33):
I can go in and look them up.
I can have of a podcast.
I can go in and look them up.
I can have the transcriptplaying at the same time I'm
listening, or I can have it popup on the screen in single or
double file so it kind of readsout while the podcast is playing
(51:56):
.
So every now and then, like atlunch or something, I can go out
and eat and I can show thepodcast is playing.
So every now and then, like atlunch or something, I can go out
and eat and I can watch thepodcast.
Most of the time I'm doingsomething, so I don't want to,
you know, view the screen, soI'll have the pot, my phone in
my pocket or something and I'llbe listening to it.
But it's a pretty neat app andthey have had the ability in the
(52:21):
past to do value for value.
If you sign up your stuff inthere and you have a I forget
what it's called.
I'm not working very good today, but anyway it's going to
change.
Apparently some things havewent down the pike and they're
(52:42):
changing things and new laws andstuff, so we're going to have
to wait it out and see whathappens.
But let's don't give up on that.
Speaking of value value I have awebsite, theuglyquackingduckcom
.
Go to it, check it out.
(53:02):
You can email me through thereor you can leave me a message.
You can also record a message.
There's a on the commentcontact page tells you all that
stuff.
If you want, there's also adonate buy me a coffee button.
(53:23):
There are two separate buttons,so we do it through PayPal buy
me a coffee, or we do value forvalue.
But again, that's going tochange here because of some of
the laws, so we just hang on tothat.
Anyway, I just want to take amoment to tell you the program
(53:43):
and if you want to support us,we mainly want you to go out and
tell people about us, share thepodcast.
If there's a certain episodethat you really like, tell
people to go watch it.
Or to watch it, hello, golisten to it.
I got up way too early, I cantell way too early, and I went
(54:08):
to bed way too late.
Sunny (54:09):
But anyhow, enough complaining well, I'll tell you
you need to stop it.
Get the hang of everything.
Bruce (54:21):
Well, yeah.
Sunny (54:25):
Okay, let's go on.
Bruce (54:28):
All right, I just wanted to say that much for the thing.
Our email address istheuglyquackingduck at gmailcom.
You can email us direct andalso, if you're using a podcast
app to listen to us, under thedescription or actually it's
right before the description itsays send us a text, click on
(54:50):
that, it'll bring up anotherpage and you can send us a text.
Now, if you're on a computerand it's according to what
internet browser you're using,but some of them may not have
the ability to do that.
But if you're on the phone, itworks, great.
But send us a text and we willread it and we'll shout you out
(55:14):
on the next episode.
So there you go.
One last little report.
You ready for this?
Nasa has delayed the returningof humans to the moon from 2026
to probably the middle of 2027.
(55:34):
What happened?
Really, they had to delay itagain.
Well, according to the report,they had a flawed heat shield.
Remember them?
Heat shields that seemed to notwork right?
Or fly off of the ships whenthey're landing, anyway, yep.
(55:58):
So off of the ships whenthey're landing, anyway, yep.
So somehow they're still havingproblems with this ship that
they're building.
But 1969, we went up there,landed in a tin can and then
flew back to earth in anothertin can.
So so you just figure that oneout.
(56:20):
That's all I'm saying.
Sunny (56:23):
Well, I hope that's all you're saying.
Bruce (56:25):
You're going to get in trouble.
Nope, not at all.
I'm on a podcast and I canpretty well say what I want, and
nobody will believe me.
Anyway, They'll all think I'mfull of you-know-what.
Sunny (56:39):
What are you full of Hot air?
Bruce (56:43):
You said it.
I didn't, but that's not true.
Anyhow, what do you say?
We say goodbye to our followersand our listeners and our
friends.
Sunny (56:53):
All right, I think that'd be a good idea and give them a
chance to break.
Bruce (57:00):
Yep, I've been on this for about an hour and I didn't
realize it's been that long.
So I apologize to everybody,but I hope I kept you company
and gave you something else tothink about and wallow around
about, besides your misery.
Sunny (57:17):
Okay, if you say so.
Bruce (57:21):
Okay, I say so, but we want to thank you for everybody
for being on here, being with us, and we want to see you come
back.
Tell a friend again.
If you feel like donatingfinancially, you can go on our
website or you can go on ourlink on our podcast page and
(57:43):
there's a link there you canfill out.
But anyhow, stay good, staysafe and we will see you on the
radio next week, hopefully.
This is Bruce.
Sunny (57:59):
This is Sonny.
Bruce (58:01):
Yep, and you ready, sonny .
Sunny (58:04):
I'm ready.
Bruce (58:05):
All right, we're going to do it now.
What are we going to do?
Oh, we're going to say bye, youready.
Sunny (58:12):
I just said I'm ready.
Bruce (58:14):
Okay, here we go, bye, all right.
Here we go, bye, all right.
That sounded good.
Thank you, folks.
Have a good day.
73.
And may the Father's blessingsgo with you.
