Ever tried to set up a recording studio in a 38-degree Southern Illinois winter? Picture us slipping and sliding around the house while perfecting our setup, laughing at every misstep. As we near our milestone 100th episode, we can't help but express our gratitude to our loyal listeners and those just tuning in, even as we humorously question if climate change is behind the bizarre cold snap sweeping through Florida and Texas. This episode is all about warmth and camaraderie, despite the chilly winds.
Join us in a heartfelt tribute as we bid adieu to our beloved colleague Sophia, who's off on a new adventure. We reflect on her departure with the age-old saying, "the grass is always greener on the other side," hoping she finds joy in her new role. Meanwhile, we relish introducing our podcast to the uninitiated and sharing their delightful reactions. Amidst the laughter and farewells, we sprinkle in some light-hearted news updates, from quirky earthquake reports to the curious study of bird brains.
Prepare for a journey through the unexpected! From dissecting the impressive capabilities of bird brains to the latest in lunar exploration with the Blue Ghost lander, we promise a mix of wonder and amusement. Imagine an agile Chinese robot dog busting a move, or a massive ice wall threatening penguin habitats — it's all here. Toss in a charming history of White House pets and a closing earthquake report, and you have an episode that dances between science, space, and a touch of whimsy.

Well, how are you doing, Sonny?
Sonny (01:36):
Well, I'm doing pretty good.
The sunshine is out and it's agreat day 38 degrees here in
Mount Vernon, illinois.
Bruce (01:46):
Well, we're not really in Mount Vernon, that's the
closest town we've got.
Sonny (01:51):
Yeah, you're right.
Well, we're in southernIllinois, how's that?
Bruce (01:56):
All right, that's good and we are close to Mount Vernon
, but it's 38.
And 38 degrees warmed up quitea bit today.
38, and 38 degrees Warmed upquite a bit today.
Yesterday was warmer.
I think it's going to get warmup in the 40s next week and boy,
oh boy, are we going to enjoythat?
Sonny (02:17):
Yeah, it's supposed to rain.
I'm going to enjoy that.
Bruce (02:21):
Well, you know what.
We're going to warm up,everybody's going to get used to
that warm air and then it'sgoing to drop down and get
really cold again and then we'regoing to be going brrrr instead
of just staying cold andgetting used to it and on, and
on, and on hey.
(02:41):
I seen you trying to walk onthat slick ice.
Oh my gosh, that was slick.
It's all on the north side ofthe house where the sun's not
hitting, so the ice is notgetting a whole lot of warmth
from just what's in the air, soit's getting wet on top and, oh
boy, it's slick.
Now the rest of the yard'spretty well gone on ice because
(03:01):
the sun hit it, but not thatnorthern part Right there by the
what's the northeast, to beexact, right there by the corner
of the garage, the cornerdriveway.
Sonny (03:18):
And oh, boy, it's slick.
Can you say that one more time,Boy, it's slick, all right,
hush up.
No, I'm here to talk, just likeyou.
Bruce (03:30):
All right, you are true.
Okay, I don't think we'll runanother full hour today.
We might, who knows?
But this is the 99th episode.
Woo-woo, one more and we get100.
I don't know if we get anyprizes, but anyway, for you guys
that stayed with us all thistime, thank you.
Sonny (03:50):
Yeah, thank you.
And for those that come and notbeen here before, I don't know
how you found us, but come back,you stay.
Bruce (04:02):
Yeah, that's for sure, and we don't know how you found
us.
Either it's a miracle or you'rejust unlucky, I don't know
which it is Alright, you cantell that to your neighbors, but
I don't know if anybody else isgoing to believe it is going to
(04:23):
believe it.
Sonny (04:23):
Well, that's probably true, but how you doing, Bruce?
Bruce (04:28):
How's work?
Well, I'm doing pretty good.
This month has been doctor'sappointments, so you know I had
to get up with ketchup, I think,on all my doctor's appointments
.
I had a couple on the end ofDecember, but I think I'm caught
up until what?
May and June what's corner youtalk to.
(04:53):
If you talk to one doctor, he'sworried.
If you talk to another doctor,I'm better, and if you talk to
my wife, I'm still silly.
Sonny (05:03):
Well, I'll go for that.
You're definitely still sillyand a little weird.
Bruce (05:09):
Now you're talking like all my co-workers A little weird
.
Sonny (05:13):
Well, that's true, you are.
Bruce (05:17):
Well, like I say to everybody else um no, I don't
say it, never mind.
Okay, we'll just ignore yousaid that you can cut it later.
No, I'll probably leave it inthere, but anyway, I was going
to say, yeah, I'm a little weirdand I tell everybody that.
But I don't tell everybody that.
(05:38):
I just let them find out fortheir self.
Sonny (05:41):
Ha ha, Alright, well, I've been doing good also.
Bruce (05:47):
The cold has been really rough but I got a warm garage to
hide in and your studio, so I'mdoing good.
Sonny (06:12):
Yep, it's been very cold here, and not just here, but
like Florida, Texas, there's twomore states I can't think of
right now that's got snow thatnormally does not, which is kind
of weird.
Yeah, they're going to blamethat on climate change aren't
they?
Bruce (06:20):
Yep, I think it's cyclical, which means that you
know, it was like that years agoand it's coming back around,
and just most people don't knowit because they've not been
around that long.
So they'll tell them anything,they'll believe it.
Sonny (06:37):
Yeah, there you go.
Tell them anything, they'llbelieve it.
Let's tell them we're rich.
Bruce (06:43):
Why would you want to do that?
Sonny (06:45):
I don't know.
You said they'll believeanything and's tell them we're
rich.
Why would you want to do that?
I don't know.
You said they'll believeanything, and that's pretty hard
to believe.
Bruce (06:51):
Yeah, it is very hard to believe, but anyhow, you're
doing good, I'm doing good, mostof my co-workers are doing good
.
Speaking of co-workers, I wantto say goodbye to Sophia.
She probably won't ever hearthis podcast.
If she does, I'm saying bye toyou.
She's put in her two weeksnotice.
Sonny (07:20):
She's got five more days to go and she's out of there,
Out of there.
Bruce (07:25):
Does that mean she's going to be going to another job
?
Sonny (07:29):
Yep, sonny, that's exactly what that means, all
right.
Bruce (07:31):
Well, good for her.
That's right.
It's a good thing when peoplebetter their self and find
something.
Hopefully it's better.
You know, sometimes grass isgreener on the other side.
Sonny (07:45):
What's that mean?
Grass is side.
What's that mean Grass is green.
What's that mean?
Bruce (07:50):
Oh, Sonny, I don't want to explain it to you.
Sonny (07:54):
Now, come on, you got to.
Bruce (07:57):
It's just a saying that most people, when they look at
something different, they thinkit's going to be better, until
they get there and find out it'snot, because it's.
You know.
They didn't see all ifs andands, so people say that grass
is always greener on the otherside.
(08:19):
And then you get over and youfind out it's the same old thing
.
Sonny (08:24):
Oh well, I hope she doesn't do that.
I hope she has a good time.
Bruce (08:30):
Me too, me too.
So hi to everybody at RuralKing.
I've got a couple new listeners, believe it or not.
I say goodnight to everybody onthe radio when I leave work
from the ugly quacking duck.
Sonny (08:49):
Yeah, that sounds like fun.
Bruce (08:52):
Yeah, but that's not what I was talking about.
I say goodbye to them on theradio every night when I leave,
or every afternoon, or however Ido it, and I identify the ugly
quacking duck because of mypodcast.
And you know what?
I've still got people sayingyou've got a podcast, really.
So I've got two more people upthere.
(09:15):
I always ask them do you knowSonny?
Have you heard Sonny?
What do you think of Sonny?
Sonny (09:21):
Yeah, and they say, yes, I know him, I like him and he's
great right.
Bruce (09:27):
No, they say I don't know who that is, what?
Yeah, because they haven'tlistened to the podcast.
And they go uh, I don't knowwhat that is, I don't know who
that is, and you wouldn'tbelieve how many people don't
know that we have a podcast.
Sonny (09:47):
Oh my gosh, when are they living In the dark ages?
Bruce (09:54):
No, I mean podcasts are not that popular for a lot of
people around here, and whenthey do listen to them, it's you
know, not us.
Sonny (10:06):
Well, it's their mistake.
They need to be listening to us, because we're here.
Bruce (10:13):
Oh, we are here and we have the number one podcast,
right.
Sonny (10:21):
Well, I don't want to say no, we don't, and get kicked
off the podcast, but I don'twant to lie to them.
Bruce (10:31):
Well, if they haven't heard very many podcasts, then
we're the number one until theyfind a better one.
Sonny (10:38):
Oh, I see where you're going with that.
So yeah, we're the number onewas that?
Bruce (10:45):
So, yeah, we're the number one.
Yep, now you got it.
So we're the number one untilthey find another one, which
that might be the next one theylisten to, but we're still
number one.
Sonny (10:54):
Okay, I understand, and I'll go with it for now.
Bruce (10:59):
Alright.
So anyway, again, welcomeaboard Any new listeners out

and we hope that we can give yousomething enjoyable to listen
(11:21):

We're going to go with somemore news today, some more
earthquake reports and maybesome more silliness.
Sonny (11:38):
Oh yeah, speak for yourself.
I'm not silly.
No, you're just a bum.
Bruce (11:41):
Yeah you are too.
You're a big bum.
Yep, I'm the biggest bum of all.
And guess what?
Bird brain.
Sonny (11:47):
Bird brain.
Yes, I am, unless you think I'man alien brain.
Bruce (11:53):
Well, I am the biggest bum of all and I don't know if
you're a bird brain, alien brainor exactly what you are, but
you are sunny.
Sonny (12:03):
There you go.
I am sunny that means I'mbright as the sun.
Bruce (12:09):
Well, I don't know about that, but you do bring joy into
my life and I hope everybodythat hears you gets some joy too
, or at least a little bit ofhumor out of you.
Sonny (12:21):
I do too, I do too.
Bruce (12:23):
But anyway, speaking of bird brain, that takes us to the
next or the first news thingwe've got out there for
everybody, so shall we go to it?
Well, wait a minute.
I told everybody what episodethis is, but I don't think I
told them what time I'mrecording this.
(12:44):
This is weekend, the lastweekend of january, weekend, uh,
of the 25th and the 26th, so ifyou're listening to us, that's
when we recorded the show.
It'll probably go out on monday, which is what, the 27th.
Yeah, I think so.
So there you go.
(13:05):
We got the time, uh, set in theweather.
Like I said, it's 38 today,sunny, and there you go.
That takes care of that, andlet's get on with the show and
go to the news corner.
Here we go, all right, speakingof bird brains, sonny, there
(13:29):
was a story, a study done, and Iread the story online.
It's on physics org, or P-H-Y-Sorg they shortened it,
p-h-y-s-o-r-g they shortened it,and it's about the largest
(13:52):
study done on bird brains.
Sonny (13:52):
Oh my gosh bird brains.
That scares me.
Where'd they get the birds?
Bruce (14:02):
Well, I don't know and I'm not going to try to guess
that, but I thought it was kindof funny that they wanted to
study bird brains.
You know we got diseases andall kinds of stuff going on, but
they're studying bird brainsyou find that weird, don't you?
Just a little bit, but anywayit's a pretty good article and
they're finding out.
(14:23):
I guess that the little phrasethat everybody uses.
I don't know if anybody's beencalled a bird brain before, but
they call you that to benegative.
I'm sorry, Sonny.
Sonny (14:39):
Yeah, I hear you, but that's all right.
I won't say nothing to nobodythat you're a bum anyway.
Bruce (14:50):
Oh no.
Sonny (14:52):
You just spilled your tea , didn't you?
Bruce (14:55):
No, I think I almost did, but I don't think I did.
It was close.
Sonny (15:02):
Yeah, that is tea in that , isn't it?
What are you drinking?
It is close.
Yeah, that is tea in that,isn't it?
What are you drinking?
Bruce (15:07):
It is tea.
I've got dandelion tea today.
I'm watching the hibiscus Ikind of cut down on that for a
little bit and I'm drinking thedandelion roasted dandelion.
Sonny (15:25):
Boy, you're just a strange cat.
Bruce (15:28):
No, I've got cats, but I'm not a cat, but I am strange.
Sonny (15:33):
Oh boy, Okay On with your story.
I want to know what you'retalking about.
Bruce (15:43):
Well, they're saying that the study proves that bird
brain is a misnomer.
Basically, the brains of a birdare almost the full size of the
skull.
It's not a pea size likeeverybody thought, and they've
(16:03):
published a letter on it.
So if you want to read aboutthe bird brain, go to physorg
and there's a news link thereand it's on the news link so you
can do a search for it.
It's called the Largest Studyof Its Kind Proves Bird Brain is
(16:28):
a misnomer.
So check it out.
I thought that was kind ofinteresting but kind of weird
too, poking around in a birdbrain you say that really weird
you noticed, huh, okay, younoticed, huh, okay.
(16:49):
Okay, sonny, are you ready forthis?
Oh yeah, I'm always ready forit.
No, you're not, but anyway, newnews.
How do you like it?
New news?
Now, all these, I'm getting ouronline articles and some of
them are believable and some ofthem are not, but anyway, cnet
(17:15):
has, uh, put together an articleon its web page, so if you want
to check it out, go to cnetcom,but it's called the Blue Ghost.
Yep, what is the Blue Ghost,you ask?
Sonny (17:32):
I didn't ask that.
Bruce (17:34):
Well, if you did ask, the Blue Ghost is a lunar lander
and it's now headed to the moon.
Believe it or not, they'regoing to the moon.
Sonny (17:44):
I think everybody's going to the moon.
Believe it or not, they'regoing to the moon.
I think everybody's going tothe moon.
Bruce (17:50):
Yep.
Well, they gotta get us lookingat the moon and other stuff so
we won't notice what the heckthey're doing here on Earth.
And they're gonna be pullingsome more stuff, so you watch
out.
Sonny (18:02):
Oh, conspiracy, huh.
You don't believe.
We went to the moon to beginwith.
Bruce (18:09):
Well, I have my doubts.
I'll put it that way.
Sonny (18:13):
Oh, you're one of those.
Bruce (18:16):
Oh yeah, Look up all the information on it, Tell me what
you think.
But anyway, for our listeners,yep, it's headed to the moon
they're talking about March 2ndis the target landing.
We'll see if it makes it March7th.
That's really soon.
Sonny (18:37):
How soon is it?
Bruce (18:40):
Oh no, that's an old trick to throw in a joke, and I
wasn't ready for that.
Sonny (18:46):
That's an old trick to throw in a joke, and I wasn't
ready for that.
Oh, you mean, I set you up fora joke and you wasn't ready.
No.
Bruce (18:58):
I wasn't man, I was not ready.
Oh, my feelings are hurt andall the listeners just turned
off the podcast and wentsomewhere else.
Well, that's your fault.
You're the one who led me up tothat and then left me hanging.
Sonny (19:12):
No, I led you up and you left me hanging.
Bruce (19:17):
All right, well, next time prepare me so I can look up
a joke about the moon or lunarlanding.
Sonny (19:25):
All right, I'll do better .
All right, folks, I apologizethat Bruce is a lonely, lonely
new some, ooh, new some.
Anyway, I'll leave that alone.
Bruce (19:41):
Yeah, you really had it today, but no, I forgot to even
prepare any jokes.
I'm going to have to go backand do that.
Sonny (19:51):
Do that.
You can't even talk.
I got you stuttering man.
I've got you upset, frustratedand nervous.
Bruce (20:03):
Whatever?
Sonny (20:05):
Oh, that's your best comeback.
Bruce (20:08):
Really got you all right, let's go back to the story, if
there is a story anyway.
They, that's nasa's blue ghostis what they called it.
It's a lunar lander and they'vedone testing and conducted more
mission simulations, ready forthat, simulations Anyway.
(20:32):
And now it's ready to go.
I can't find anywhere wherethey launched the darn thing,
but it's up in the air and readyto go.
Who knows?
But anyway, that's on CNET,c-n-e-t dot com Under their
(20:58):
science listing.
Look it up.
The Blue Ghost Lunar Lander isnow headed to the moon.
Here's what to know.
Yeah, anyway, there you go.
What do you got to say aboutthat, sonny?
Sonny (21:14):
I think I said it.
Bruce (21:16):
Yeah, I think you said it .
All right, we'll move on.
So it's kind of interestingthat NASA labeled their launcher
Blue Ghost.
And if anybody's been followingall the fires, hawaii had a
(21:47):
bunch of burned up propertyhouses, stuff like that and they
showed pictures of all theroofs of the houses that was not
burnt and guess what?
They were blue.
And then same thing incalifornia.
They just had some bad firesburned up, a whole bunch of
property, loss of life, and thenthey showed some houses right
(22:07):
there smack dab in the middlethat were blue, didn't get
burned up.
Blue trash cans.
Uh, there was a blue uh van,what was it?
60s, 68 or something like thatleft there in the middle of it
because the people had toabandon, because they had to
(22:30):
leave.
I don't understand that logic,but guess what?
It was blue too.
So this was all on mainstreamnews.
So why I keep saying so, Idon't know.
Yeah, I don't either, but quitit it all right, we'll see if I
can do better.
However, what I'm trying to sayis, blue seems to be coming out
(22:55):
a lot and I don't know if thatis a message for somebody else
or they're trying to hint to allof us.
I don't know what's going on,but now we have the Blue Ghost
Lunar Lander and Jeff Bezos hasthe Blue Origin, which was
(23:16):
successfully launched.
It's a new Glenn rocket.
I think I mentioned that lastpodcast that they were testing
the rockets out and they finallylaunched it.
They tested the rockets.
Now they've launched it.
So another blue and it went upand it reached orbit.
(23:41):
So, boy, if you can believe allthat stuff's happening and
they're all blue, I don't know.
Sounds conspiracy to orbit.
So, boy, if you can believe allthat stuff's happening and
they're all blue, I don't know.
Sounds conspiracy to me.
So I don't know if it makes anydifference, if it's coincidence
or there's something behind allthe blue, but it's weird.
Sonny (24:04):
Yeah, it's weird and you're weird for catching it,
but I have to wonder yeah,that's the main thing.
Bruce (24:12):
You have to wonder, uh, if you notice it and what you're
noticing, you know, kind ofstrange, but it's, um, it's
really, really.
That's all I got to say.
And my cat's attackingsomething behind me.
I'm going to have to go findout what it is before he tears
(24:33):
down some wires.
All right, I got one more, justone more news story for you for
this week, and this one I findvery interesting.
Well, maybe not one more.
Um, I've got a story for europe, if anybody's listening, uh,
(24:53):
there was some listeners, uh,for a year.
They know this news story, butI wanted to announce it because
you know, I usually try to keeptrack of storms and stuff.
Uh, this is on from the 24th.
Uh, I'll have to try topronounce this right.
Storm a1, I think that's howthey pronounced it.
(25:15):
A1 unleashed a record winds 14mile an hour winds across the UK
Friday and it caused widespreaddisruption of power.
Like 725,000 homes was reportedlost power.
(25:40):
That's a lot, they said.
The speed of the wind brokerecords it was 113, but now this
one did 114.
The record was in 1945.
See, cycle, people don't catchthat, but the bad storm that did
(26:10):
the wind of 113 miles an hourwas in 1945.
So now it's cycling back aroundand we're having all these
storms, and this one was 114miles an hour, which was one
mile an hour more.
But you wait, they're going tostart talking about this being
so much more horrible, worsethan they've ever had in record,
(26:34):
and blah, blah, blah,brainwashing.
You guys.
Did I say that?
Sonny (26:41):
Yes, you did.
You're going to get in trouble.
I'm leaving.
Bruce (27:14):
I'm running Bye, thank you.
All right, you didn't reallyleave, but I had to add all
those sound effects to make itsound like you.
I didn't have anybody runningsound effects, so that would
have been great.
Sonny (27:31):
You're silly, but yeah, I should have run.
Bruce (27:34):
No, you don't have nothing to worry about.
I'll be the one they come andhaul off.
They'll probably shoot me orsomething, you know, run over me
or something.
But anyway, let's go on to thenext story.
All right, anybody know whatthe Gaia?
(27:57):
I think it's Gaia.
Anybody know what the GaiaSpace Observatory is, or ever
heard of it or anything?
I have to honestly state I didnot, but I found a news article
(28:19):
about it so I wanted to bring itto your attention.
It ended on January 15th thisyear.
Apparently, my mic is way off.
I don't know what's going onwith that thing.
Hang on just a second, allright, I think I got it back
into sync, but it moved and Icouldn't get to it.
Really weird sink but it movedand I couldn't get to it.
(28:45):
Really weird.
But apparently this spaceobservatory that's been flying
around for the last decade,since 2013,.
It ran out of propellant, soit's dead or dying, so its
mission is ending.
I haven't seen any picturesthat come back from it.
(29:06):
That don't mean there wasn'tany, because I haven't been able
to keep up on that stuff forquite a while, but I just think
it's weird.
We got all that stuff out there.
You hear about it when itlaunches.
You hear about it when itlaunches, you hear about it when
it stops.
You don't see a whole lot ofinformation other than that.
(29:28):
I mean, we do get some picturesback from that telescope.
They got up there supposedly,but you know how that goes.
Sonny (29:36):
No, I don't know how that goes or what you're trying to
say.
Bruce (29:42):
Okay, so what are you trying to say?
Sonny (29:46):
That you're full of.
Bruce (29:51):
I don't know what.
However, you did that.
I don't know how that is andwhat that is.
Sonny (29:58):
Sure you don't, but but anyway our listeners do write in
.
Bruce (30:04):
Tell him he's full of baloney uh, yeah, write in, tell
me what you think, uh, if youagree with me or not.
But anyway, the gaia missionended on january 15th because
they feared it would run out ofpropellant at that time and I
don't know how long the batteryis supposed to last afterwards.
(30:25):
But it's mission was basicallyto fly around the Milky Way and
create a novel 3D dimensionalgalaxy map.
So there you go, they'remapping the galaxy like it was
small enough to map.
So there you go, they'remapping the galaxy.
Woo, like it was small enoughto map.
But there you go, woo.
(30:50):
Alright, everybody knows we justcelebrated Martin Luther King
Jr's Day.
They call it MLK for short, orMLK Jr anyway.
Quite a man, a good man,almosta great man, except he was
(31:13):
deceased by some enemies.
But he had one speech that weall remember and that happened
in 1963.
I have a dream, and I'm notsaying that to make fun of him.
He's a great man in my eyes.
I think of him and the words hespoke and the battle he fought,
(31:38):
and he did a lot for humankind.
Anyhow, that holiday that youjust celebrated, if you even
thought about it, did not comearound until.
Let's see.
When was it?
Let me look this up because Iforgot 1983, which is about 20
(32:03):
years after king's birth, deathor his speech.
I mean sorry, um, it was signedinto a bill by.
Wait a minute, who was it minute?
(32:25):
Who was it?
Ronald reagan, of course,president ronald reagan signed
it into a bill in 1983 and thenit would be 17 more years.
Now you get that 17 more yearsuntil all 50 states recognized
it.
Think about that.
It was 17 years later that thestates, all the states,
(32:49):
recognized how he or what he didand that he was a great man and
that he died for his beliefsand that he died for his beliefs
.
I believe Arizona was the laststate to enact that into their
(33:10):
law.
So if you're listening to thisand you have any concerns about
our human condition, put that inyour pipe and smoke it for a
minute and realize how long ittook before we all recognized
that man.
That's all I got to say aboutthat.
Sonny (33:28):
Well, I bet that was a.
Oh my, I had never heard yousay.
That's all I got to say aboutthat.
Bruce (33:37):
Well, that's because I took that off of a movie.
Sonny (33:41):
Okay, I'll have off of a movie.
Okay, I'll have to watch thatmovie.
Bruce (33:46):
Yeah, we'll have to watch that movie.
It's pretty good.
We'll watch it sometime.
Sonny (33:51):
Okay, I'm holding you to that.
Bruce (33:54):
All right, let's go on with the next story I've got.
Believe it or not, there is awall of ice and there's a
picture on the story, if youwant to look it up.
And the reason I brought thisone up is because it is heading
for a penguin habitat where theystay and raise their young.
(34:19):
Um, habitat where they stay andraise their young.
It's heading right for it andit's actually a pretty big size
a piece of ice.
They show a picture of it.
They show a picture of theisland, a map of the island and
the ice where it's at and whereit's heading.
(34:40):
Now they're not guaranteeingit's going to hit that island,
but if you're interested in thatit's on apnewscom Go and check
it out.
It's a wall of ice the size ofRhode Island, believe it or not,
and it's heading toward apenguin-packed island off
(35:03):
Antarctica.
That's the name of the title,or name.
That's the title of the article, if you go to AP News and look
it up.
But it shows a picture of thegiant ice wall that's adrift,
heading towards the island.
The island's called South SeaIsland and they have a map of it
(35:31):
along with the picture on thearticle.
But I found it interesting howthey actually showed the ice,
showed the map.
You know that it was out there,towards it was south.
What would that be?
Southeast, no, southwest, quitea ways on the map from that
(35:55):
island.
But they're saying, with thecurrents of the ocean and
everything that it could get,that word could hit that island
and smash into it, but they'renot saying what it could do if
it does.
But they're also saying thatthe currents could take it all
the way around it and it totallymisses.
(36:16):
So there you go, they.
They raised that flag, look out, and we don't even know really
what it's going to do.
But I like the article anyway,so go look it up.
Ap News.
Don't take my word for it,alright.
How many of you out there likesdogs?
Sonny (36:34):
I'm not sure I do.
I like to chase cats, but Idon't know about dogs.
Bruce (36:41):
Well, there are a lot of dogs for pets.
And the next two articles I'vegot to talk about quickly
because I've got to do thereport for the earthquakes, and
then I've got to say goodbyebecause I've got to edit this
thing and get it out there andI'm running out of time.
The sun's going down, it'sprobably getting cold and anyway
(37:07):
, hello everybody.
Anyhow, did I do the?
Let me do it anyway.
There you go.
I don't know if I did thatalready or not.
I'm losing track of all mythinking and talking.
But the next two articles thisone is about a Chinese robot dog
(37:34):
yep, chinese robot dog.
It's oninterestingengineeringcom.
You got to go, I'm telling you,you got to go watch this video
that this guy's put on there.
I can't pronounce his name soI'm not going to try.
I don't want to ruin it, buthe's got this article he put
(37:57):
together about this Chineserobot dog and there's a picture
of it on there, with it on twowheels on the side, so it looks
like.
I'll tell you what it looks like.
It don't look like a robot younormally think of.
It looks like a coffee table, asmall coffee table with legs
(38:23):
and wheels.
It's just odd looking.
But if you'll go watch themovie or the video that they've
got on there.
This thing is awesome, I'mtelling you.
It dances.
It dances on two legs.
It dances on one leg.
It spins around, it jumps,rolls over, doesn't roll over
(38:50):
and hit its back, it rolls overand jumps on its other legs.
It jumps over a snowboard.
You can watch this on YouTubetoo.
They've got the video onYouTube.
But I'm telling you what it'scool.
(39:10):
This thing is really reallycool and I'll tell you after you
see that you're going to have adifferent outlook on what
robots can do.
And then it's got another onethere where it does something on
the uh, off road.
It just, it's just cool.
(39:33):
I I, you know I'm intotechnology and this thing.
Yeah, anyway, go to it Again.
It's on interesting, let me saythis again
interestingengineeringcom andthe title of the news article is
(39:59):
Watch China's Robot DogUnleashes Insane Dance Moves on
Snow Streams and Mountains.
If you can't remember that,just go to Interesting
Engineering and look up ChineseRobot Dog and it was on the
front page.
(40:20):
But it's a cool article.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Sonny (40:27):
Can you say cool, cool, cool, one more time.
Bruce (40:32):
I can, but I'm not going to One more article, alright.
This last article for you guysis um called.
No, wait a minute, it's on awhite house, historyorg.
So if you want to check it out,go to whitehousehistoryorg and
(40:56):
you can uh look it up.
I'll tell you the title here ina minute a minute.
But you notice how, when theywant to make our politicians
Hang on just a minute, Where'dyou go?
Oh, I had to jump up and get mea glass or my water bottle.
My throat was getting kind offunny.
(41:17):
I think I shouldn't have drunkthat tea.
It kind of dried my throat out.
But anyhow, you notice, I wasgoing to say how they do.
When they want you to find thepoliticians more family-oriented
, more human, I guess you couldsay They'll throw in their
(41:39):
animal loving or something tomake them softer looking.
So this article is a historylesson about all the families
that took up residence at theWhite House, how they brought
their pets in.
But the article is mostly aboutthe dogs that they brought with
(42:01):
them.
And it's a pretty good article.
I suggest you go read it.
I thought it was done reallywell.
The name of it is Top Dogs atthe White House.
Oh boy, I can't talk, but again, it's on the
(42:21):
whitehousehistoryorg Top Dogs atthe White House.
And not only is it an articleabout the dogs and they mention
in the article other pets thatsome of the presidents brought
with them but the pictures thatthey've got and there's several.
(42:42):
They start with the Rooseveltsand they go all the way down.
To hang on, I'll get all theway down to the article.
They go all the way to theBiden family, of course, but
they show the dogs that he hadwith him.
(43:05):
But it's very interesting.
It's very nice to see the petsthat these presidents and family
brought with them and how theyloved up to them and how that
the american people took to themmore because of the pets that
they had.
(43:27):
And, uh, there's one picture Ireally liked.
There's.
I liked all of them, I'll behonest with you.
But there's one on here thatI'm going to put on my website.
So if you go totheuglyquackingduckcom and look
up my post and new episodes page, I always put you know the post
(43:54):
about the new episode on thatand I'm going to include this
picture with it.
But it is more of a paintingthan a picture, I believe, but
it's got first lady gracecoolidge and rob roy, which is
their dog, and apparently robroy caught more eyes than uh.
(44:15):
Apparently, rob Roy caught moreeyes than Lady Grace did.
So that was interesting, butI'm going to put that on there
so you kind of get an idea ofwhat I'm talking about.
But to see the whole thing andto understand the whole story
(44:36):
you need to go read that.
Don't just take my word for it,because it's an interesting
article and that's the end ofour articles.
I had a few more picked out,but I don't want to bore you to
death.
I'm going to do the earthquakereport for the last seven days
and then we're going to say byeto everybody.
(44:56):
I hope you enjoyed the news.
Sonny (44:58):
I can't believe you're still calling that a news corner
and blah, blah, blah blah.
Bruce (45:08):
Oh, a little bored, are you A?
Sonny (45:11):
little Yuck.
Bruce (45:14):
Oh boy, now I don't think it's that bad.
I picked articles that I likedand I thought maybe the people
that are like me would like them.
Sonny (45:26):
Well, I don't know about all that, but I thought they
were kind of weird, silly andall that.
Bruce (45:35):
Well, you would, wouldn't you?
Well, let's go on to theearthquake report.
Okay, that thing's making someweird noises.
Yeah, I noticed that.
I don't know what's going on.
It's going through the whooshand then it starts again and it
(45:56):
goes right at the end.
Weird, yeah, I guess I'll haveto try to fix that, if I can
figure out what's doing it.
Sonny (46:06):
Yeah, you need to do something, because it's kind of
weird.
Bruce (46:09):
Well, it fits right in, so I may just leave it.
Sonny (46:14):
There you go.
I never thought about that.
We're both a little weird.
Bruce (46:19):
Oh, you finally admit it.
Sonny (46:21):
Yeah, I guess I do.
Okay, give me the report.
Bruce (46:26):
Well, do you want to guess?
Sonny (46:28):
Well, last week you wouldn't let me.
We had to hurry up and get itdone.
Bruce (46:33):
Well, let's guess.
Okay, that sounds good.
I'll give you the two weeks agoreport, which is more than
seven days ago, but I'll giveyou that report and then you
guess.
Sonny (46:47):
All right, did you write down what I guessed before?
Bruce (46:52):
No, I need to.
Sonny (46:55):
All right, let's just do this.
Bruce (46:59):
All right, here we go, sonny, I want to read it to you.
Let me get my paper, my book,okay, this was just done a
couple minutes ago.
So as of 1-10-25, we had 1,753all-magnitude earthquakes,
(47:20):
according to the report that Igot.
They could be lying to me,we'll see but 1753, 1753, sunny,
where are we at now?
Sonny (47:35):
okay, let me see.
It went down last time, so I'mguessing it'll go back up.
So 1753.
I'm gonna guess it went upabout 20.
So 1773.
Bruce (47:56):
All right, that's a good guess.
You really tried hard, but youwere wrong.
It went down.
Sonny (48:04):
Oh no, really.
Well, wait a minute, that'sgood news for everybody.
But I was wrong, boo-hoo.
Bruce (48:13):
And it just so happens, I still have that button Boo.
Sonny (48:21):
Oh, you're so bad.
Bruce (48:23):
Yeah, well, it fits, doesn't it?
Sonny (48:27):
Yeah, all right, I'll accept that I was off.
Bruce (48:32):
Yes, you was, but hey, it works All right for the rest of
it.
The 2.5 and above earthquakesAll right for the rest of it.
The 2.5 and above earthquakeswas 295 on the 10th and today
there were 263.
So it's down also.
And then the 4.5 and over wasat 117.
(48:57):
And today there are 102.
So the whole thing went down.
Sonny (49:05):
So that blows my theory.
Oh well, at least you're stillreporting them.
Bruce (49:09):
Yep, and the 6.0 and over .
That's the only ones I reportwhen they get that high is?
There's only one of them andit's in taiwan.
Uh, you ching maybe is how youpronounce that.
I'm not sure, but it's intaiwan.
It had a 6.0 and that's theonly one I've got that high.
(49:31):
The rest of them were five,sevens and fours and so forth
and so on.
Sonny (49:40):
Well, between the fires, the earthquakes, the cold, there
were several people diedbecause of the cold.
It's been rough.
Bruce (49:53):
Yep.
So I report these things and Ialways ask you to remember to
put these people and theirfamilies in your prayer.
If you don't believe in prayer,then you should believe at
least in sending positivethoughts towards these people
that are suffering.
They're dealing with thesethings.
(50:15):
You may be having a good liferight now and you may not.
You may be having healthproblems or something like that
in your life tragedy also.
But it does good for your soul.
If you take care and pray forothers or send them positive
thoughts, it will help you.
So I'm asking you to do that.
(50:36):
That's one thing I try to getaccomplished with this show that
and bring you something else tothink about, besides the really
bad news that you're hearingand all the TikTok, garbage and
stuff like that.
And, by the way, it's back.
They say it's back in adifferent manner, but I don't
(50:57):
know.
But I'm glad you're here.
I appreciate you being here.

It's only about the what?
The hundredth time we've triedto do this.
Sonny (01:12):
At least you couldn't get the mics right, you couldn't
get the words right.
Bruce (01:17):
I don't think you get anything right today.
Yeah, I have those days whereit just doesn't work out.
Sonny (01:27):
Well, it's working now, so don't give up.
Bruce (01:31):
Oh yeah, definitely not.
Well, how are you doing, Sonny?
Sonny (01:36):
Well, I'm doing pretty good.
The sunshine is out and it's agreat day 38 degrees here in
Mount Vernon, illinois.
Bruce (01:46):
Well, we're not really in Mount Vernon, that's the
closest town we've got.
Sonny (01:51):
Yeah, you're right.
Well, we're in southernIllinois, how's that?
Bruce (01:56):
All right, that's good and we are close to Mount Vernon
, but it's 38.
And 38 degrees warmed up quitea bit today.
38, and 38 degrees Warmed upquite a bit today.
Yesterday was warmer.
I think it's going to get warmup in the 40s next week and boy,
oh boy, are we going to enjoythat?
Sonny (02:17):
Yeah, it's supposed to rain.
I'm going to enjoy that.
Bruce (02:21):
Well, you know what.
We're going to warm up,everybody's going to get used to
that warm air and then it'sgoing to drop down and get
really cold again and then we'regoing to be going brrrr instead
of just staying cold andgetting used to it and on, and
on, and on hey.
(02:41):
I seen you trying to walk onthat slick ice.
Oh my gosh, that was slick.
It's all on the north side ofthe house where the sun's not
hitting, so the ice is notgetting a whole lot of warmth
from just what's in the air, soit's getting wet on top and, oh
boy, it's slick.
Now the rest of the yard'spretty well gone on ice because
(03:01):
the sun hit it, but not thatnorthern part Right there by the
what's the northeast, to beexact, right there by the corner
of the garage, the cornerdriveway.
Sonny (03:18):
And oh, boy, it's slick.
Can you say that one more time,Boy, it's slick, all right,
hush up.
No, I'm here to talk, just likeyou.
Bruce (03:30):
All right, you are true.
Okay, I don't think we'll runanother full hour today.
We might, who knows?
But this is the 99th episode.
Woo-woo, one more and we get100.
I don't know if we get anyprizes, but anyway, for you guys
that stayed with us all thistime, thank you.
Sonny (03:50):
Yeah, thank you.
And for those that come and notbeen here before, I don't know
how you found us, but come back,you stay.
Bruce (04:02):
Yeah, that's for sure, and we don't know how you found
us.
Either it's a miracle or you'rejust unlucky, I don't know
which it is Alright, you cantell that to your neighbors, but
I don't know if anybody else isgoing to believe it is going to
(04:23):
believe it.
Sonny (04:23):
Well, that's probably true, but how you doing, Bruce?
Bruce (04:28):
How's work?
Well, I'm doing pretty good.
This month has been doctor'sappointments, so you know I had
to get up with ketchup, I think,on all my doctor's appointments
.
I had a couple on the end ofDecember, but I think I'm caught
up until what?
May and June what's corner youtalk to.
(04:53):
If you talk to one doctor, he'sworried.
If you talk to another doctor,I'm better, and if you talk to
my wife, I'm still silly.
Sonny (05:03):
Well, I'll go for that.
You're definitely still sillyand a little weird.
Bruce (05:09):
Now you're talking like all my co-workers A little weird
.
Sonny (05:13):
Well, that's true, you are.
Bruce (05:17):
Well, like I say to everybody else um no, I don't
say it, never mind.
Okay, we'll just ignore yousaid that you can cut it later.
No, I'll probably leave it inthere, but anyway, I was going
to say, yeah, I'm a little weirdand I tell everybody that.
But I don't tell everybody that.
(05:38):
I just let them find out fortheir self.
Sonny (05:41):
Ha ha, Alright, well, I've been doing good also.
Bruce (05:47):
The cold has been really rough but I got a warm garage to
hide in and your studio, so I'mdoing good.
Sonny (06:12):
Yep, it's been very cold here, and not just here, but
like Florida, Texas, there's twomore states I can't think of
right now that's got snow thatnormally does not, which is kind
of weird.
Yeah, they're going to blamethat on climate change aren't
they?
Bruce (06:20):
Yep, I think it's cyclical, which means that you
know, it was like that years agoand it's coming back around,
and just most people don't knowit because they've not been
around that long.
So they'll tell them anything,they'll believe it.
Sonny (06:37):
Yeah, there you go.
Tell them anything, they'llbelieve it.
Let's tell them we're rich.
Bruce (06:43):
Why would you want to do that?
Sonny (06:45):
I don't know.
You said they'll believeanything and's tell them we're
rich.
Why would you want to do that?
I don't know.
You said they'll believeanything, and that's pretty hard
to believe.
Bruce (06:51):
Yeah, it is very hard to believe, but anyhow, you're
doing good, I'm doing good, mostof my co-workers are doing good
.
Speaking of co-workers, I wantto say goodbye to Sophia.
She probably won't ever hearthis podcast.
If she does, I'm saying bye toyou.
She's put in her two weeksnotice.
Sonny (07:20):
She's got five more days to go and she's out of there,
Out of there.
Bruce (07:25):
Does that mean she's going to be going to another job
?
Sonny (07:29):
Yep, sonny, that's exactly what that means, all
right.
Bruce (07:31):
Well, good for her.
That's right.
It's a good thing when peoplebetter their self and find
something.
Hopefully it's better.
You know, sometimes grass isgreener on the other side.
Sonny (07:45):
What's that mean?
Grass is side.
What's that mean Grass is green.
What's that mean?
Bruce (07:50):
Oh, Sonny, I don't want to explain it to you.
Sonny (07:54):
Now, come on, you got to.
Bruce (07:57):
It's just a saying that most people, when they look at
something different, they thinkit's going to be better, until
they get there and find out it'snot, because it's.
You know.
They didn't see all ifs andands, so people say that grass
is always greener on the otherside.
(08:19):
And then you get over and youfind out it's the same old thing
.
Sonny (08:24):
Oh well, I hope she doesn't do that.
I hope she has a good time.
Bruce (08:30):
Me too, me too.
So hi to everybody at RuralKing.
I've got a couple new listeners, believe it or not.
I say goodnight to everybody onthe radio when I leave work
from the ugly quacking duck.
Sonny (08:49):
Yeah, that sounds like fun.
Bruce (08:52):
Yeah, but that's not what I was talking about.
I say goodbye to them on theradio every night when I leave,
or every afternoon, or however Ido it, and I identify the ugly
quacking duck because of mypodcast.
And you know what?
I've still got people sayingyou've got a podcast, really.
So I've got two more people upthere.
(09:15):
I always ask them do you knowSonny?
Have you heard Sonny?
What do you think of Sonny?
Sonny (09:21):
Yeah, and they say, yes, I know him, I like him and he's
great right.
Bruce (09:27):
No, they say I don't know who that is, what?
Yeah, because they haven'tlistened to the podcast.
And they go uh, I don't knowwhat that is, I don't know who
that is, and you wouldn'tbelieve how many people don't
know that we have a podcast.
Sonny (09:47):
Oh my gosh, when are they living In the dark ages?
Bruce (09:54):
No, I mean podcasts are not that popular for a lot of
people around here, and whenthey do listen to them, it's you
know, not us.
Sonny (10:06):
Well, it's their mistake.
They need to be listening to us, because we're here.
Bruce (10:13):
Oh, we are here and we have the number one podcast,
right.
Sonny (10:21):
Well, I don't want to say no, we don't, and get kicked
off the podcast, but I don'twant to lie to them.
Bruce (10:31):
Well, if they haven't heard very many podcasts, then
we're the number one until theyfind a better one.
Sonny (10:38):
Oh, I see where you're going with that.
So yeah, we're the number onewas that?
Bruce (10:45):
So, yeah, we're the number one.
Yep, now you got it.
So we're the number one untilthey find another one, which
that might be the next one theylisten to, but we're still
number one.
Sonny (10:54):
Okay, I understand, and I'll go with it for now.
Bruce (10:59):
Alright.
So anyway, again, welcomeaboard Any new listeners out
there that have found us andcome aboard.
We hope you enjoy it, we hopeyou stay and for the ones that's
been here all along or comeaboard and stayed, thank you,
and we hope that we can give yousomething enjoyable to listen
(11:21):
to.
We're going to go with somemore news today, some more
earthquake reports and maybesome more silliness.
Sonny (11:38):
Oh yeah, speak for yourself.
I'm not silly.
No, you're just a bum.
Bruce (11:41):
Yeah you are too.
You're a big bum.
Yep, I'm the biggest bum of all.
And guess what?
Bird brain.
Sonny (11:47):
Bird brain.
Yes, I am, unless you think I'man alien brain.
Bruce (11:53):
Well, I am the biggest bum of all and I don't know if
you're a bird brain, alien brainor exactly what you are, but
you are sunny.
Sonny (12:03):
There you go.
I am sunny that means I'mbright as the sun.
Bruce (12:09):
Well, I don't know about that, but you do bring joy into
my life and I hope everybodythat hears you gets some joy too
, or at least a little bit ofhumor out of you.
Sonny (12:21):
I do too, I do too.
Bruce (12:23):
But anyway, speaking of bird brain, that takes us to the
next or the first news thingwe've got out there for
everybody, so shall we go to it?
Well, wait a minute.
I told everybody what episodethis is, but I don't think I
told them what time I'mrecording this.
(12:44):
This is weekend, the lastweekend of january, weekend, uh,
of the 25th and the 26th, so ifyou're listening to us, that's
when we recorded the show.
It'll probably go out on monday, which is what, the 27th.
Yeah, I think so.
So there you go.
(13:05):
We got the time, uh, set in theweather.
Like I said, it's 38 today,sunny, and there you go.
That takes care of that, andlet's get on with the show and
go to the news corner.
Here we go, all right, speakingof bird brains, sonny, there
(13:29):
was a story, a study done, and Iread the story online.
It's on physics org, or P-H-Y-Sorg they shortened it,
p-h-y-s-o-r-g they shortened it,and it's about the largest
(13:52):
study done on bird brains.
Sonny (13:52):
Oh my gosh bird brains.
That scares me.
Where'd they get the birds?
Bruce (14:02):
Well, I don't know and I'm not going to try to guess
that, but I thought it was kindof funny that they wanted to
study bird brains.
You know we got diseases andall kinds of stuff going on, but
they're studying bird brainsyou find that weird, don't you?
Just a little bit, but anywayit's a pretty good article and
they're finding out.
(14:23):
I guess that the little phrasethat everybody uses.
I don't know if anybody's beencalled a bird brain before, but
they call you that to benegative.
I'm sorry, Sonny.
Sonny (14:39):
Yeah, I hear you, but that's all right.
I won't say nothing to nobodythat you're a bum anyway.
Bruce (14:50):
Oh no.
Sonny (14:52):
You just spilled your tea , didn't you?
Bruce (14:55):
No, I think I almost did, but I don't think I did.
It was close.
Sonny (15:02):
Yeah, that is tea in that , isn't it?
What are you drinking?
It is close.
Yeah, that is tea in that,isn't it?
What are you drinking?
Bruce (15:07):
It is tea.
I've got dandelion tea today.
I'm watching the hibiscus Ikind of cut down on that for a
little bit and I'm drinking thedandelion roasted dandelion.
Sonny (15:25):
Boy, you're just a strange cat.
Bruce (15:28):
No, I've got cats, but I'm not a cat, but I am strange.
Sonny (15:33):
Oh boy, Okay On with your story.
I want to know what you'retalking about.
Bruce (15:43):
Well, they're saying that the study proves that bird
brain is a misnomer.
Basically, the brains of a birdare almost the full size of the
skull.
It's not a pea size likeeverybody thought, and they've
(16:03):
published a letter on it.
So if you want to read aboutthe bird brain, go to physorg
and there's a news link thereand it's on the news link so you
can do a search for it.
It's called the Largest Studyof Its Kind Proves Bird Brain is
(16:28):
a misnomer.
So check it out.
I thought that was kind ofinteresting but kind of weird
too, poking around in a birdbrain you say that really weird
you noticed, huh, okay, younoticed, huh, okay.
(16:49):
Okay, sonny, are you ready forthis?
Oh yeah, I'm always ready forit.
No, you're not, but anyway, newnews.
How do you like it?
New news?
Now, all these, I'm getting ouronline articles and some of
them are believable and some ofthem are not, but anyway, cnet
(17:15):
has, uh, put together an articleon its web page, so if you want
to check it out, go to cnetcom,but it's called the Blue Ghost.
Yep, what is the Blue Ghost,you ask?
Sonny (17:32):
I didn't ask that.
Bruce (17:34):
Well, if you did ask, the Blue Ghost is a lunar lander
and it's now headed to the moon.
Believe it or not, they'regoing to the moon.
Sonny (17:44):
I think everybody's going to the moon.
Believe it or not, they'regoing to the moon.
I think everybody's going tothe moon.
Bruce (17:50):
Yep.
Well, they gotta get us lookingat the moon and other stuff so
we won't notice what the heckthey're doing here on Earth.
And they're gonna be pullingsome more stuff, so you watch
out.
Sonny (18:02):
Oh, conspiracy, huh.
You don't believe.
We went to the moon to beginwith.
Bruce (18:09):
Well, I have my doubts.
I'll put it that way.
Sonny (18:13):
Oh, you're one of those.
Bruce (18:16):
Oh yeah, Look up all the information on it, Tell me what
you think.
But anyway, for our listeners,yep, it's headed to the moon
they're talking about March 2ndis the target landing.
We'll see if it makes it March7th.
That's really soon.
Sonny (18:37):
How soon is it?
Bruce (18:40):
Oh no, that's an old trick to throw in a joke, and I
wasn't ready for that.
Sonny (18:46):
That's an old trick to throw in a joke, and I wasn't
ready for that.
Oh, you mean, I set you up fora joke and you wasn't ready.
No.
Bruce (18:58):
I wasn't man, I was not ready.
Oh, my feelings are hurt andall the listeners just turned
off the podcast and wentsomewhere else.
Well, that's your fault.
You're the one who led me up tothat and then left me hanging.
Sonny (19:12):
No, I led you up and you left me hanging.
Bruce (19:17):
All right, well, next time prepare me so I can look up
a joke about the moon or lunarlanding.
Sonny (19:25):
All right, I'll do better .
All right, folks, I apologizethat Bruce is a lonely, lonely
new some, ooh, new some.
Anyway, I'll leave that alone.
Bruce (19:41):
Yeah, you really had it today, but no, I forgot to even
prepare any jokes.
I'm going to have to go backand do that.
Sonny (19:51):
Do that.
You can't even talk.
I got you stuttering man.
I've got you upset, frustratedand nervous.
Bruce (20:03):
Whatever?
Sonny (20:05):
Oh, that's your best comeback.
Bruce (20:08):
Really got you all right, let's go back to the story, if
there is a story anyway.
They, that's nasa's blue ghostis what they called it.
It's a lunar lander and they'vedone testing and conducted more
mission simulations, ready forthat, simulations Anyway.
(20:32):
And now it's ready to go.
I can't find anywhere wherethey launched the darn thing,
but it's up in the air and readyto go.
Who knows?
But anyway, that's on CNET,c-n-e-t dot com Under their
(20:58):
science listing.
Look it up.
The Blue Ghost Lunar Lander isnow headed to the moon.
Here's what to know.
Yeah, anyway, there you go.
What do you got to say aboutthat, sonny?
Sonny (21:14):
I think I said it.
Bruce (21:16):
Yeah, I think you said it .
All right, we'll move on.
So it's kind of interestingthat NASA labeled their launcher
Blue Ghost.
And if anybody's been followingall the fires, hawaii had a
(21:47):
bunch of burned up propertyhouses, stuff like that and they
showed pictures of all theroofs of the houses that was not
burnt and guess what?
They were blue.
And then same thing incalifornia.
They just had some bad firesburned up, a whole bunch of
property, loss of life, and thenthey showed some houses right
(22:07):
there smack dab in the middlethat were blue, didn't get
burned up.
Blue trash cans.
Uh, there was a blue uh van,what was it?
60s, 68 or something like thatleft there in the middle of it
because the people had toabandon, because they had to
(22:30):
leave.
I don't understand that logic,but guess what?
It was blue too.
So this was all on mainstreamnews.
So why I keep saying so, Idon't know.
Yeah, I don't either, but quitit it all right, we'll see if I
can do better.
However, what I'm trying to sayis, blue seems to be coming out
(22:55):
a lot and I don't know if thatis a message for somebody else
or they're trying to hint to allof us.
I don't know what's going on,but now we have the Blue Ghost
Lunar Lander and Jeff Bezos hasthe Blue Origin, which was
(23:16):
successfully launched.
It's a new Glenn rocket.
I think I mentioned that lastpodcast that they were testing
the rockets out and they finallylaunched it.
They tested the rockets.
Now they've launched it.
So another blue and it went upand it reached orbit.
(23:41):
So, boy, if you can believe allthat stuff's happening and
they're all blue, I don't know.
Sounds conspiracy to orbit.
So, boy, if you can believe allthat stuff's happening and
they're all blue, I don't know.
Sounds conspiracy to me.
So I don't know if it makes anydifference, if it's coincidence
or there's something behind allthe blue, but it's weird.
Sonny (24:04):
Yeah, it's weird and you're weird for catching it,
but I have to wonder yeah,that's the main thing.
Bruce (24:12):
You have to wonder, uh, if you notice it and what you're
noticing, you know, kind ofstrange, but it's, um, it's
really, really.
That's all I got to say.
And my cat's attackingsomething behind me.
I'm going to have to go findout what it is before he tears
(24:33):
down some wires.
All right, I got one more, justone more news story for you for
this week, and this one I findvery interesting.
Well, maybe not one more.
Um, I've got a story for europe, if anybody's listening, uh,
(24:53):
there was some listeners, uh,for a year.
They know this news story, butI wanted to announce it because
you know, I usually try to keeptrack of storms and stuff.
Uh, this is on from the 24th.
Uh, I'll have to try topronounce this right.
Storm a1, I think that's howthey pronounced it.
(25:15):
A1 unleashed a record winds 14mile an hour winds across the UK
Friday and it caused widespreaddisruption of power.
Like 725,000 homes was reportedlost power.
(25:40):
That's a lot, they said.
The speed of the wind brokerecords it was 113, but now this
one did 114.
The record was in 1945.
See, cycle, people don't catchthat, but the bad storm that did
(26:10):
the wind of 113 miles an hourwas in 1945.
So now it's cycling back aroundand we're having all these
storms, and this one was 114miles an hour, which was one
mile an hour more.
But you wait, they're going tostart talking about this being
so much more horrible, worsethan they've ever had in record,
(26:34):
and blah, blah, blah,brainwashing.
You guys.
Did I say that?
Sonny (26:41):
Yes, you did.
You're going to get in trouble.
I'm leaving.
Bruce (27:14):
I'm running Bye, thank you.
All right, you didn't reallyleave, but I had to add all
those sound effects to make itsound like you.
I didn't have anybody runningsound effects, so that would
have been great.
Sonny (27:31):
You're silly, but yeah, I should have run.
Bruce (27:34):
No, you don't have nothing to worry about.
I'll be the one they come andhaul off.
They'll probably shoot me orsomething, you know, run over me
or something.
But anyway, let's go on to thenext story.
All right, anybody know whatthe Gaia?
(27:57):
I think it's Gaia.
Anybody know what the GaiaSpace Observatory is, or ever
heard of it or anything?
I have to honestly state I didnot, but I found a news article
(28:19):
about it so I wanted to bring itto your attention.
It ended on January 15th thisyear.
Apparently, my mic is way off.
I don't know what's going onwith that thing.
Hang on just a second, allright, I think I got it back
into sync, but it moved and Icouldn't get to it.
Really weird sink but it movedand I couldn't get to it.
(28:45):
Really weird.
But apparently this spaceobservatory that's been flying
around for the last decade,since 2013,.
It ran out of propellant, soit's dead or dying, so its
mission is ending.
I haven't seen any picturesthat come back from it.
(29:06):
That don't mean there wasn'tany, because I haven't been able
to keep up on that stuff forquite a while, but I just think
it's weird.
We got all that stuff out there.
You hear about it when itlaunches.
You hear about it when itlaunches, you hear about it when
it stops.
You don't see a whole lot ofinformation other than that.
(29:28):
I mean, we do get some picturesback from that telescope.
They got up there supposedly,but you know how that goes.
Sonny (29:36):
No, I don't know how that goes or what you're trying to
say.
Bruce (29:42):
Okay, so what are you trying to say?
Sonny (29:46):
That you're full of.
Bruce (29:51):
I don't know what.
However, you did that.
I don't know how that is andwhat that is.
Sonny (29:58):
Sure you don't, but but anyway our listeners do write in
.
Bruce (30:04):
Tell him he's full of baloney uh, yeah, write in, tell
me what you think, uh, if youagree with me or not.
But anyway, the gaia missionended on january 15th because
they feared it would run out ofpropellant at that time and I
don't know how long the batteryis supposed to last afterwards.
(30:25):
But it's mission was basicallyto fly around the Milky Way and
create a novel 3D dimensionalgalaxy map.
So there you go, they'remapping the galaxy like it was
small enough to map.
So there you go, they'remapping the galaxy.
Woo, like it was small enoughto map.
But there you go, woo.
(30:50):
Alright, everybody knows we justcelebrated Martin Luther King
Jr's Day.
They call it MLK for short, orMLK Jr anyway.
Quite a man, a good man,almosta great man, except he was
(31:13):
deceased by some enemies.
But he had one speech that weall remember and that happened
in 1963.
I have a dream, and I'm notsaying that to make fun of him.
He's a great man in my eyes.
I think of him and the words hespoke and the battle he fought,
(31:38):
and he did a lot for humankind.
Anyhow, that holiday that youjust celebrated, if you even
thought about it, did not comearound until.
Let's see.
When was it?
Let me look this up because Iforgot 1983, which is about 20
(32:03):
years after king's birth, deathor his speech.
I mean sorry, um, it was signedinto a bill by.
Wait a minute, who was it minute?
(32:25):
Who was it?
Ronald reagan, of course,president ronald reagan signed
it into a bill in 1983 and thenit would be 17 more years.
Now you get that 17 more yearsuntil all 50 states recognized
it.
Think about that.
It was 17 years later that thestates, all the states,
(32:49):
recognized how he or what he didand that he was a great man and
that he died for his beliefsand that he died for his beliefs
.
I believe Arizona was the laststate to enact that into their
(33:10):
law.
So if you're listening to thisand you have any concerns about
our human condition, put that inyour pipe and smoke it for a
minute and realize how long ittook before we all recognized
that man.
That's all I got to say aboutthat.
Sonny (33:28):
Well, I bet that was a.
Oh my, I had never heard yousay.
That's all I got to say aboutthat.
Bruce (33:37):
Well, that's because I took that off of a movie.
Sonny (33:41):
Okay, I'll have off of a movie.
Okay, I'll have to watch thatmovie.
Bruce (33:46):
Yeah, we'll have to watch that movie.
It's pretty good.
We'll watch it sometime.
Sonny (33:51):
Okay, I'm holding you to that.
Bruce (33:54):
All right, let's go on with the next story I've got.
Believe it or not, there is awall of ice and there's a
picture on the story, if youwant to look it up.
And the reason I brought thisone up is because it is heading
for a penguin habitat where theystay and raise their young.
(34:19):
Um, habitat where they stay andraise their young.
It's heading right for it andit's actually a pretty big size
a piece of ice.
They show a picture of it.
They show a picture of theisland, a map of the island and
the ice where it's at and whereit's heading.
(34:40):
Now they're not guaranteeingit's going to hit that island,
but if you're interested in thatit's on apnewscom Go and check
it out.
It's a wall of ice the size ofRhode Island, believe it or not,
and it's heading toward apenguin-packed island off
(35:03):
Antarctica.
That's the name of the title,or name.
That's the title of the article, if you go to AP News and look
it up.
But it shows a picture of thegiant ice wall that's adrift,
heading towards the island.
The island's called South SeaIsland and they have a map of it
(35:31):
along with the picture on thearticle.
But I found it interesting howthey actually showed the ice,
showed the map.
You know that it was out there,towards it was south.
What would that be?
Southeast, no, southwest, quitea ways on the map from that
(35:55):
island.
But they're saying, with thecurrents of the ocean and
everything that it could get,that word could hit that island
and smash into it, but they'renot saying what it could do if
it does.
But they're also saying thatthe currents could take it all
the way around it and it totallymisses.
(36:16):
So there you go, they.
They raised that flag, look out, and we don't even know really
what it's going to do.
But I like the article anyway,so go look it up.
Ap News.
Don't take my word for it,alright.
How many of you out there likesdogs?
Sonny (36:34):
I'm not sure I do.
I like to chase cats, but Idon't know about dogs.
Bruce (36:41):
Well, there are a lot of dogs for pets.
And the next two articles I'vegot to talk about quickly
because I've got to do thereport for the earthquakes, and
then I've got to say goodbyebecause I've got to edit this
thing and get it out there andI'm running out of time.
The sun's going down, it'sprobably getting cold and anyway
(37:07):
, hello everybody.
Anyhow, did I do the?
Let me do it anyway.
There you go.
I don't know if I did thatalready or not.
I'm losing track of all mythinking and talking.
But the next two articles thisone is about a Chinese robot dog
(37:34):
yep, chinese robot dog.
It's oninterestingengineeringcom.
You got to go, I'm telling you,you got to go watch this video
that this guy's put on there.
I can't pronounce his name soI'm not going to try.
I don't want to ruin it, buthe's got this article he put
(37:57):
together about this Chineserobot dog and there's a picture
of it on there, with it on twowheels on the side, so it looks
like.
I'll tell you what it looks like.
It don't look like a robot younormally think of.
It looks like a coffee table, asmall coffee table with legs
(38:23):
and wheels.
It's just odd looking.
But if you'll go watch themovie or the video that they've
got on there.
This thing is awesome, I'mtelling you.
It dances.
It dances on two legs.
It dances on one leg.
It spins around, it jumps,rolls over, doesn't roll over
(38:50):
and hit its back, it rolls overand jumps on its other legs.
It jumps over a snowboard.
You can watch this on YouTubetoo.
They've got the video onYouTube.
But I'm telling you what it'scool.
(39:10):
This thing is really reallycool and I'll tell you after you
see that you're going to have adifferent outlook on what
robots can do.
And then it's got another onethere where it does something on
the uh, off road.
It just, it's just cool.
(39:33):
I I, you know I'm intotechnology and this thing.
Yeah, anyway, go to it Again.
It's on interesting, let me saythis again
interestingengineeringcom andthe title of the news article is
(39:59):
Watch China's Robot DogUnleashes Insane Dance Moves on
Snow Streams and Mountains.
If you can't remember that,just go to Interesting
Engineering and look up ChineseRobot Dog and it was on the
front page.
(40:20):
But it's a cool article.
Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Sonny (40:27):
Can you say cool, cool, cool, one more time.
Bruce (40:32):
I can, but I'm not going to One more article, alright.
This last article for you guysis um called.
No, wait a minute, it's on awhite house, historyorg.
So if you want to check it out,go to whitehousehistoryorg and
(40:56):
you can uh look it up.
I'll tell you the title here ina minute a minute.
But you notice how, when theywant to make our politicians
Hang on just a minute, Where'dyou go?
Oh, I had to jump up and get mea glass or my water bottle.
My throat was getting kind offunny.
(41:17):
I think I shouldn't have drunkthat tea.
It kind of dried my throat out.
But anyhow, you notice, I wasgoing to say how they do.
When they want you to find thepoliticians more family-oriented
, more human, I guess you couldsay They'll throw in their
(41:39):
animal loving or something tomake them softer looking.
So this article is a historylesson about all the families
that took up residence at theWhite House, how they brought
their pets in.
But the article is mostly aboutthe dogs that they brought with
(42:01):
them.
And it's a pretty good article.
I suggest you go read it.
I thought it was done reallywell.
The name of it is Top Dogs atthe White House.
Oh boy, I can't talk, but again, it's on the
(42:21):
whitehousehistoryorg Top Dogs atthe White House.
And not only is it an articleabout the dogs and they mention
in the article other pets thatsome of the presidents brought
with them but the pictures thatthey've got and there's several.
(42:42):
They start with the Rooseveltsand they go all the way down.
To hang on, I'll get all theway down to the article.
They go all the way to theBiden family, of course, but
they show the dogs that he hadwith him.
(43:05):
But it's very interesting.
It's very nice to see the petsthat these presidents and family
brought with them and how theyloved up to them and how that
the american people took to themmore because of the pets that
they had.
(43:27):
And, uh, there's one picture Ireally liked.
There's.
I liked all of them, I'll behonest with you.
But there's one on here thatI'm going to put on my website.
So if you go totheuglyquackingduckcom and look
up my post and new episodes page, I always put you know the post
(43:54):
about the new episode on thatand I'm going to include this
picture with it.
But it is more of a paintingthan a picture, I believe, but
it's got first lady gracecoolidge and rob roy, which is
their dog, and apparently robroy caught more eyes than uh.
(44:15):
Apparently, rob Roy caught moreeyes than Lady Grace did.
So that was interesting, butI'm going to put that on there
so you kind of get an idea ofwhat I'm talking about.
But to see the whole thing andto understand the whole story
(44:36):
you need to go read that.
Don't just take my word for it,because it's an interesting
article and that's the end ofour articles.
I had a few more picked out,but I don't want to bore you to
death.
I'm going to do the earthquakereport for the last seven days
and then we're going to say byeto everybody.
(44:56):
I hope you enjoyed the news.
Sonny (44:58):
I can't believe you're still calling that a news corner
and blah, blah, blah blah.
Bruce (45:08):
Oh, a little bored, are you A?
Sonny (45:11):
little Yuck.
Bruce (45:14):
Oh boy, now I don't think it's that bad.
I picked articles that I likedand I thought maybe the people
that are like me would like them.
Sonny (45:26):
Well, I don't know about all that, but I thought they
were kind of weird, silly andall that.
Bruce (45:35):
Well, you would, wouldn't you?
Well, let's go on to theearthquake report.
Okay, that thing's making someweird noises.
Yeah, I noticed that.
I don't know what's going on.
It's going through the whooshand then it starts again and it
(45:56):
goes right at the end.
Weird, yeah, I guess I'll haveto try to fix that, if I can
figure out what's doing it.
Sonny (46:06):
Yeah, you need to do something, because it's kind of
weird.
Bruce (46:09):
Well, it fits right in, so I may just leave it.
Sonny (46:14):
There you go.
I never thought about that.
We're both a little weird.
Bruce (46:19):
Oh, you finally admit it.
Sonny (46:21):
Yeah, I guess I do.
Okay, give me the report.
Bruce (46:26):
Well, do you want to guess?
Sonny (46:28):
Well, last week you wouldn't let me.
We had to hurry up and get itdone.
Bruce (46:33):
Well, let's guess.
Okay, that sounds good.
I'll give you the two weeks agoreport, which is more than
seven days ago, but I'll giveyou that report and then you
guess.
Sonny (46:47):
All right, did you write down what I guessed before?
Bruce (46:52):
No, I need to.
Sonny (46:55):
All right, let's just do this.
Bruce (46:59):
All right, here we go, sonny, I want to read it to you.
Let me get my paper, my book,okay, this was just done a
couple minutes ago.
So as of 1-10-25, we had 1,753all-magnitude earthquakes,
(47:20):
according to the report that Igot.
They could be lying to me,we'll see but 1753, 1753, sunny,
where are we at now?
Sonny (47:35):
okay, let me see.
It went down last time, so I'mguessing it'll go back up.
So 1753.
I'm gonna guess it went upabout 20.
So 1773.
Bruce (47:56):
All right, that's a good guess.
You really tried hard, but youwere wrong.
It went down.
Sonny (48:04):
Oh no, really.
Well, wait a minute, that'sgood news for everybody.
But I was wrong, boo-hoo.
Bruce (48:13):
And it just so happens, I still have that button Boo.
Sonny (48:21):
Oh, you're so bad.
Bruce (48:23):
Yeah, well, it fits, doesn't it?
Sonny (48:27):
Yeah, all right, I'll accept that I was off.
Bruce (48:32):
Yes, you was, but hey, it works All right for the rest of
it.
The 2.5 and above earthquakesAll right for the rest of it.
The 2.5 and above earthquakeswas 295 on the 10th and today
there were 263.
So it's down also.
And then the 4.5 and over wasat 117.
(48:57):
And today there are 102.
So the whole thing went down.
Sonny (49:05):
So that blows my theory.
Oh well, at least you're stillreporting them.
Bruce (49:09):
Yep, and the 6.0 and over .
That's the only ones I reportwhen they get that high is?
There's only one of them andit's in taiwan.
Uh, you ching maybe is how youpronounce that.
I'm not sure, but it's intaiwan.
It had a 6.0 and that's theonly one I've got that high.
(49:31):
The rest of them were five,sevens and fours and so forth
and so on.
Sonny (49:40):
Well, between the fires, the earthquakes, the cold, there
were several people diedbecause of the cold.
It's been rough.
Bruce (49:53):
Yep.
So I report these things and Ialways ask you to remember to
put these people and theirfamilies in your prayer.
If you don't believe in prayer,then you should believe at
least in sending positivethoughts towards these people
that are suffering.
They're dealing with thesethings.
(50:15):
You may be having a good liferight now and you may not.
You may be having healthproblems or something like that
in your life tragedy also.
But it does good for your soul.
If you take care and pray forothers or send them positive
thoughts, it will help you.
So I'm asking you to do that.
(50:36):
That's one thing I try to getaccomplished with this show that
and bring you something else tothink about, besides the really
bad news that you're hearingand all the TikTok, garbage and
stuff like that.
And, by the way, it's back.
