We trade outrage for honesty as we riff on AI hype, de-extinction headlines, and a hard history lesson that still warns us today. Humor breaks the tension, but the heart is clear—value-for-value, open access, and treating people with care.
• value-for-value model and why we keep content free
• status of the earthquake reports and why feedback matters
• the AI “actress” debate and creative labor concerns
• nostalgia tech with Kodak’s tiny throwback camera
• 1974 ruling on pregnant teachers and how norms shift
• weather as texture, jokes as pressure valves
• de-extinction ethics and the dodo bird milestone
• radio roots, music licensing limits, and our mission
• city crackdowns, due process, and resisting group blame
• “First They Came” read-aloud and what we learn from it

Capella (00:06):
Welcome to the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast, the worst
podcast in the unknownuniverse.
Or at least that's what somepeople say.
We prefer to think of ourselvesas charmingly rough around the
edges.
We're passionate aboutpodcasting and the value for
value model, where creators andlisteners connect directly.
We believe in keeping ourcontent free and open to
everyone, because who needsanother paywall, right?
Bruce (00:29):
Right.
This is Bruce from the UglyQuacking Duck.
I hope you enjoyed our newintro.
Sunny (00:35):
I liked it, and this is Sunny from the Ugly Quacking
Duck.
Bruce (00:41):
Alright, well, if you're the first time listener to our
podcast, we welcome you.
And if you're an all-timelistener or what a second time,
third time, whatever, welcomeaboard.
We appreciate all of you forcoming and being part of our
show.
Now we're here today.
This is episode what?
(01:02):
125.
125 episodes, and we're stillflying bad.
Yep, the worst podcast ever.
And we're gonna prove it to youevery time we do an episode.
I hope you enjoy it.
It is October the 5th.
Wow.
This month is already slippingby.
(01:22):
We've just been in it and it'sgoing uphill and it's gonna flop
over and then zoom.
It'll be gone.
Wow, I don't know if I likethat.
Sunny (01:34):
Well, there's nothing you can do about it, so we might as
well enjoy it.
Have fun and do what we do.
Bruce (01:42):
Do what we do, yep.
Okay, we're gonna do what wedo, and that'll be a lot of fun.
Sunny (01:51):
Well, okay, if you insist, but I wonder if people
really think it's fun.
Bruce (01:57):
Well, whatever it is, it's time consuming.
So if you're gonna do laundry,mow the grass, do dishes, put
some earphones in and let thepodcast roll, and that will kind
of take you away from all themonotony that you have to do
every day.
So enjoy.
Sunny (02:17):
All right.
I'm enjoying doing it.
Bruce (02:19):
Yeah, you always do.
You like coming aboard.
You're usually so hyped up Ican't really get you calmed
down.
Sunny (02:26):
I'm trying to do better.
What can I say?
Bruce (02:29):
Got anybody you want to shout out to today?
Sunny (02:31):
Yeah, I'd like to shout up to sh not really shout up,
but I I'd like to do a shout outto all the duck crackers out
there.
You know who you are, you bigcrackers, and to my community.
The ugly cracking duck flock.
Welcome.
Bruce (02:52):
Oh, you like that flock thing, don't you?
Sunny (02:54):
Yeah, I like saying flock.
Bruce (02:59):
Okay.
Well, to our community, we dowelcome you.
And make sure you visit theuglyquacking duck.com.
Uh, we just did an earthquakereport post from 9 30, the
seven-day report, and then the30-day report, and it looks like
for 2019 it's got a lot largernumbers.
(03:23):
So as I've stated before, ifthe seven-day thingy, I don't
know what else to call it,transitions into a seven-day or
a seven-year thing, that means2019 was a little bit bigger
than the other years around it.
(03:44):
I checked them.
This year's quite a bit big,but if 2019 is bigger and it
transitions into a seven year,that means next year, 2026, is
gonna be a big one, and uh we'llhave to wait and see.
Sunny (04:01):
Yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
Nothing like finding outafterwards.
Bruce (04:07):
You're right.
Well it's kinda hard to do anyprojections because I've not
figured out the the key to that,and I don't know if anybody
else ever has.
If they did, they'd make a lotof money projecting when the
earthquake's gonna be and whereit's gonna be.
Sunny (04:24):
Hey, we oughta do that.
We can make money.
Bruce (04:29):
Yeah, or get shot when we're wrong.
You know, there's only a coupleof people in life that can be
wrong.
Politicians are wrong all thetime.
They don't get clobbered forthat.
And the weatherman, theypredict stuff and it turns
around being moved to anotherday, another temperature,
another storm.
Yeah.
Yeah, I we could do that, Iguess.
(04:51):
We just predict them, and whenthey're wrong, we can just say,
Well, we're like the weathermanor the politician.
Sunny (04:57):
No, we better not do that.
Bruce (05:00):
Yeah, we probably shouldn't.
But anyway, um, yeah.
In fact, talking about that,I've been thinking about and I
probably will, um, no longerpost my reports on my web page
because I've been doing it for acouple months now.
It takes a lot of bandwidth upand storage, and nobody has
(05:24):
chatted with me, text me, emailme that they find it interesting
or that they like it, or theylike me to change it.
I mean, I'm not getting anycommunications back, and that's
what we're here for.
So I'll probably cease that inthe near future, maybe even this
(05:45):
weekend, for the new seven-dayreport.
I'm gonna keep re r doing itfor myself for the fun of it,
but I don't know if I'm gonnapost it uh unless somebody comes
up and says, Hey, I still wantit.
Now I may from time to timeread the report on the podcast
episode.
(06:05):
Uh that's what we used to doevery week we would read the
seven-day report, but Iwouldn't, you know, post it on
the the webpage.
So we're probably gonna quit.
Uh that's just extra work andif it's not seeing any results
from anybody, then I'm gonnatake it, nobody cares.
(06:27):
So I'm just gonna keep doing itfor myself, and that that'll
take a lot more work away.
Sunny (06:35):
Oh, you're being a lazy bum.
Bruce (06:39):
I'm the biggest bum of all, Sunny.
Sunny (06:42):
Oh, you can say that again.
Bruce (06:44):
I'm the biggest bum of all, Sunny.
Sunny (06:47):
All right, I didn't literally mean you could say
that again.
That's insane.
unknown (06:55):
Gosh.
Bruce (06:57):
Oh, I'm doing what you always do to me.
Sunny (07:01):
No, I'm not that way.
I'm straight, man.
Bruce (07:05):
Straight as an arrow, huh?
Sunny (07:07):
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't ever tease.
Bruce (07:12):
Oh boy, you know where you go for lying.
Sunny (07:15):
Yeah.
Bruce (07:16):
Washington DC.
That's where all the greatliars go.
Sunny (07:20):
Oh boy, sh forgive us, folks.
He's a little bit of a lunatic.
Bruce (07:29):
Uh no, you are.
Alright, whatever.
Hey Sunny.
Hey Bruce.
Have you heard of that newactress Tilly Tilly Norwood?
Sunny (07:46):
Oh yeah, that was a girl that played on Game of Thrones.
I like her.
Bruce (07:53):
No, that was not Tilly Norwood.
Tilly Norwood is a new AI,which is artificial
intelligence, that's what theysay.
Actress.
Totally made up, and she istotally made up.
She's got an Instagram account.
She's supposedly talking tosome producers um about getting
(08:16):
a new gig, and she's doingscreen tests and all kinds of
made up stuff.
Sunny (08:23):
Oh, really?
Is she famous?
Bruce (08:26):
Well, they're they're working on trying to get her
that way, and it you know, itjust happened this year, and
unlike most actors andactresses, um, boom, they just
put her on the internet, makeher an Instagram account, and
you know, they just do a fewother things, and she's popular.
(08:46):
Of course, it was all made up,but apparently her whole Johnny,
Johnny can't talk.
Sunny (08:57):
Spit it out, Bruce.
Come on, spit it out.
Bruce (09:03):
The whole thing is really ticking off a lot of people in
Hollywood.
Uh, they are fuming mad aboutit, or so a lot of people say.
I don't know, but it's quite aninteresting phenomenon.
You know, AI is here andthey're here to stay, so there's
nothing we're gonna do aboutit.
How we deal with it as humansand how we um associate with the
(09:30):
things that are AI that willprobably make a difference.
Now I'm not sure AI is evergonna take over, but the people
that use AI as a tool, that'sgonna be the problem.
Who's gonna use it and how arethey gonna use it?
Sunny (09:48):
Oh yeah.
That that's scary.
It could be another nineteeneighty-four.
Bruce (09:55):
Yeah, and for the people don't know what you just said,
nineteen eighty-four was a noveluh written about uh a really
black part of culture andhistory.
Not really he history, it wasfuturistic when it was written,
but it uh 1984 has alreadypassed, but it was a a really
(10:20):
dark book about how society wastaken over and all that.
So they're just saying that uhYeah.
Sunny (10:30):
What are they saying, Bruce?
Huh?
They're saying I'm a goodlooking guy.
Bruce (10:36):
No, they're not saying that at all.
Sunny (10:38):
Aww.
Bruce (10:40):
They're saying I'm a I'm not even gonna go there.
Sunny (10:44):
Oh, you're no fun.
Bruce (10:46):
Yeah, we've been told that before many times.
Sunny (10:51):
Yeah, yes for sure.
But anyhow, she's a made upactress, yeah.
So we're living in a made upworld, a matrix, and they have
uh AI which is made up inputinto that matrix from another
(11:12):
made up world.
That's really messed up.
Bruce (11:17):
Yes, it is very messed up.
Um I don't know how you youcould get any more sci-fi than
what you just said.
And I love sci-fi.
But yeah, it just don't workvery well, does it?
Sunny (11:32):
Uh it works pretty good, it sounds like.
Bruce (11:35):
Oh boy, did you hear that motorcycle go by with the radio
blaring?
Sunny (11:39):
I did.
I couldn't tell what the musicwas, but I could hear it.
Bruce (11:44):
Yeah, it j it went by too quick.
I really couldn't figure it outeither.
But anyhow, I thought that wasan interesting story, so I
wanted to bring it up.
Look her up, or it I don't evenknow where to go with that, but
look up this AI actress, andher name is Tilly T-I-L-L-Y
(12:06):
Norwood, N-O-R-W-Z-O-O-D.
Almost said zero.
Sunny (12:15):
Oh, brother.
Bruce (12:17):
Well, that's just the way life is.
But look her up.
It's kind of interesting.
She looks like a normal averagefemale actress.
It's uh all age uh AIgenerated, which I like to say
ancient intelligence for variousreasons, but it's pretty
interesting.
And I said that about threetimes, so I better quit saying
(12:40):
it.
Now I'm gonna tell a little bitabout my age now, but I mean,
you know, it kind of fits intothe story.
But back when I was going toschool in the 70s, I never
realized that I didn't see anyexpecting teachers or expecting
mothers that were teachers.
Uh I just never noticed itbecause I was young and you
(13:03):
know, other things were beingapplied to me at that time.
Sunny (13:08):
Yeah, you had to learn.
That was hard, wasn't it,Bruce?
Bruce (13:13):
Uh, you could say that.
Uh difficult paying attentionin them, you know, them
classrooms you really are notdesigned to allow us to learn
and to grow.
They're designed to get us toshut up, learn to be controlled,
and take orders from aauthority character, whether
(13:36):
it's a teacher or a boss or thepresident or whatever.
That's what they're they'rejust training.
Anyhow, that's another storyfor another time.
Uh during the 70s, apparently,was when they allowed pregnant
or expecting mothers who wereteachers to fulfill the rest of
(14:00):
their pregnancy at work, atschool, during a classroom, or
in a classroom.
I did not know up until 1974,they weren't allowed to finish
their pregnancy in a classroom.
They had to leave at midterm.
And that's not midterm of theclass, that's midterm of their
(14:22):
pregnancy.
So they were, you know, womenwere very mistreated throughout
history and still are, and I'mnot going to get into any of
that, but apparently theycouldn't stay in the classroom
as a teacher during their fullpregnancy.
They had to leave.
But in 1974, believe it or not,it was that recent, or it is
(14:47):
for me, because I lived that,uh, the Supreme Court ruled
these policies wereunconstitutional, and that
established that women couldkeep going to work while
pregnant.
What do you think about that,Sunny?
Sunny (15:01):
I think that makes it hard on the woman either way.
I mean, she's got to carry thatextra burden, deal with all the
sicknesses that come with it,and put up with a job.
Yeah.
You know how life is.
It's definitely unfair.
Bruce (15:19):
You said a mouthful, for sure.
Yeah, I just thought that wasinteresting.
I read that and I thought, wow,that's some news I never I
didn't realize.
See, when I was young, I didn'tpay any attention to the news.
I like the cartoons.
And if anybody's from SouthernIllinois, maybe they remember
Cactus Pete, you know, and UncleBriggs.
(15:41):
If you do, give me a shout out,because that was, you know, I
got home after school, got myhomework done, and I think he'd
come on at five o'clock.
It may have been six.
But we'd flip that TV on, youknow, and you had to pull the
button, turn the dial to get itto the right place, turn the
(16:02):
volume up, and turn the rotor,and there you was, Channel 3
would pop on.
It was from Harrisburg,Illinois, and we would watch
Cactus Pete and Uncle Briggs,who took over afterwards.
And I'd watch the Three Stoogesand Cartoons.
Um it was Daffy Duck, BugsBunny, you know, all the famous
(16:25):
cartoons from back in that era.
Yeah, that was a good addriving um evening.
Sunny (16:34):
Yeah, you didn't want to do your homework, did you?
Bruce (16:37):
No, nobody wants to do their homework, but I did so I
can watch cartoons, and I alwayshad to run trash out real quick
before I got to sit down.
But then were the days, youknow.
We didn't watch news and getall upset like everybody does
now.
Sunny (16:52):
Oh, now don't start on that.
Bruce (16:55):
Okay, I won't.
Let's talk about somethingelse.
Sunny (16:59):
All right, let's talk.
What do you want to talk about,Fred?
Bruce (17:04):
No, Fred's the ghost.
I'm Bruce, remember?
Sunny (17:09):
Yes.
I'm Sunny, you're Bruce, andFred just walked by.
Bruce (17:15):
I didn't see him.
Sunny (17:17):
Well, that's not my fault.
Bruce (17:21):
Okay.
Should I get worried?
Sunny (17:24):
No, you'll be all right.
He ain't after you.
Bruce (17:27):
A whole lot.
Sunny (17:30):
He just likes to walk around and freak the cats out.
Kinda like I do.
Bruce (17:35):
Oh, well, yeah, I can see that.
Anyhow, let's talk aboutcameras.
Want to?
Sunny (17:42):
Yeah, I know what cameras are.
They take pictures.
Duh.
Bruce (17:47):
Yeah, yeah, they do.
Sunny (17:50):
So what about cameras, Bruce?
Tell us the world story.
Bruce (17:55):
Well, boy, I don't know if I can tell a world story, but
how about a small story about aKodak camera?
Are you ready for it?
Kodak has just shrunk the 1987nostalgic camera that we all are
familiar with, and they'veshrunk it down to a keychain
(18:16):
size camera.
Now the camera doesn't use filmanymore.
It actually is a digitalcamera, but it looks a lot like
the old camera, and it takespictures digitally, but they are
nostalgic looking.
Now it doesn't take greatcameras, not like your phone
(18:37):
shoot nowadays.
Most phones take betterpictures than a camera does, but
I still like, you know, the olddigital or the 35 millimeter
because there's certain uhportraits and other things that
you can take that really gets alot more uh what characteristic
(19:00):
from it, colors and stuff thanyou can get with a phone.
Anyway, that's another storyalso.
But they've shrunk down thiscamera, made it into a keychain,
and it's only thirty dollars,and you can choose from
different styles, and they haveum I think they may be selling
(19:21):
different styles at differenttimes, but it has a LCD screen
on it, and you can choose whatthe photos are gonna look like,
and it's very uh reminiscent ofa age gone by.
So, you know, for thirtydollars it may be kind of neat
just to have one and make someold looking pictures.
(19:44):
Check it out.
Kodak has done this.
Sunny (19:46):
Yay! Are we getting paid for that?
Bruce (19:51):
No, we're not getting paid for anything.
We uh anything we do we just dofor the fun of it.
We don't get paid for anything.
Nothing.
Sunny (20:01):
Alright.
Well I just check and youalmost sound like an
advertisement.
Bruce (20:06):
Oh, well thanks.
I'm glad I sound likesomething.
Sunny (20:10):
Well you're very welcome, old man.
Bruce (20:13):
Oh, now I'm an old man.
Sunny (20:16):
Aren't you?
Bruce (20:17):
No, I'm not 120 yet.
Sunny (20:21):
Yeah you are.
Bruce (20:22):
Uh no, but anyhow, let's don't uh anyhow.
Well let's talk a little bitabout the weather, shall we?
Sunny (20:34):
Yeah, it's dry, it's not raining, and it's still kinda
hot for October.
Bruce (20:42):
So true.
It is supposed to rain, I thinklast time I looked on Tuesday
sometime, and they'll probablychange it, and they normally do,
but we're supposed to get alittle bit of rain Tuesday, and
I haven't mowed my grass kind ofneeds it, but it's really a
thin um seeding type ofcrabgrass, and uh it don't look
(21:06):
pretty, but it really isn'tthick enough to mow, plus it's
so dry, if I mow it, it's gonnakill everything and blow a bunch
of dust, so I probably ain'tgonna mow for a while.
Sunny (21:18):
Oh, you got a brand new lawnmower, and now you're gonna
not mow?
Is that what I'm hearing?
What, you tore it up already?
Bruce (21:28):
No, I just don't want to blow dust all over it, and all
over the yard and all over me.
It don't matter.
I mean, the grass is notgrowing six foot tall like it
did this spring every time itrained.
I mean, we've got a little bitof rain in what, the last two
weeks?
So, no, it don't matter.
But anyhow, let's talk aboutthe weather.
(21:50):
It is right now hot.
I don't know how else to saythat.
I'm gonna look up thetemperature on the internet.
It says it's 82 degrees andpartly cloudy.
And in Phoenix, Arizona, getready for this.
You know, it's usuallydifferent.
But it says 82 degrees andsunny.
(22:11):
So the only difference here isthey're sunny, we're partly
cloudy.
Sunny (22:17):
Well, that's kind of weird.
Usually they're real hot.
Bruce (22:21):
Yeah, but it's October.
That should make a difference.
But right now, according to theweatherman on the internet, it
is 82 in both locations.
Now, if we jump over, and Ijust hit the wrong button.
If we jump over to Spokane,Washington, it is 60 degrees
(22:44):
right now.
So they've got some really niceweather.
And we are at 51% humidity, 10mile an hour winds, and the air
quality is 41, but it's stillgood, but it's 41.
Sunny (22:59):
Does that mean I'm not choking when I should be, or
what?
What does that even mean?
Bruce (23:06):
I honestly don't know.
I just figured if if the airquality goes up, that means it
used to mean smogs in the area,but it could be dust and uh
pollen and all that kind ofstuff.
However, Phoenix, Arizona is at17%.
They only have a one mile anhour wind, and their air quality
is 18.
(23:27):
Wow.
And Spokane, Washington doesnot have a quality meter on my
uh screen, so I don't know whattheir quality is.
But their wind is at six milesan hour.
Yay.
(23:48):
We are at a moon phase ofwaxing gibbeas, if anybody
follows that stuff.
Now their visibility is at tenmiles, so they got pretty good
quality, I'd say.
Sunny (24:03):
You know, Bruce, um why do ducks have tail feathers?
Bruce (24:09):
Well, that way they can turn and flight.
They kind of they move theirtails, feathers back and forth,
and kind of twist it and ithelps them to fly.
Sunny (24:20):
No dummy.
It's to cover their buttquacks.
I was not going to go there,but I thought, why not?
Bruce (24:38):
Wow.
That caught me off guard.
I was not ready for you tothrow a joke out there, man, and
I thought you was beingserious.
Sunny (24:46):
That's what you did, see.
I caught you off guard.
Bruce (24:52):
Now that you did.
You for sure did.
Well, you know what, Sunny,I've found a very interesting
article.
I'm not gonna read it to you.
unknown (25:02):
Sh.
Sunny (25:03):
That's a good thing.
I was worried.
Bruce (25:06):
Oh, come on, give me a break.
Sunny (25:08):
Nope.
Unless you want it in the leg.
Bruce (25:11):
Oh okay.
So anyway, I run across anarticle.
Now this one's been postedsince uh September 17th.
So it's it's an old one.
I was gonna read it a coupleepisodes ago, but I didn't get a
chance to.
But it you know, it just blowsme away how we have come full
(25:35):
circle in history.
Uh before the flood, accordingto biblical times and biblical
scripture, there was creatureson this earth um designed by the
fallen angel's offspring, andthey had designed all kinds of
(25:56):
weird beasts and animals andstuff.
According to Revelation, Ithink it's Revel No, Jesus
quoted this, I think, that itwould be the same as in Noah's
or yeah, Noah's time as it is inthe end times.
You know, a lot of people justthink that sin's gonna run amok,
(26:17):
which it probably is sayingthat.
But it's also talking about, Ibelieve, that we are gonna come
full circle and repeat history.
Uh with the help of theseentities, we are gonna start
messing with chromosomes andgenes and crossbreeding things
(26:41):
that we shouldn't andmanipulating their genes so they
will grow weird animals andsuch.
And every time I read one ofthese articles where they're
going back and cutting the genesfrom one thing into another to
reproduce a lost animal from ourhistory, I think, yep, we are
(27:06):
taking one more step closer tothat.
So apparently they have figuredout a way to bring the dodo
bird back.
You guys remember the dodobird, it went distinct several
years ago, back in theseventeenth century, I believe.
But apparently they have gotone step closer.
(27:28):
Now they're saying it'llprobably be another decade
before they can bring a dodobird to life, but what they've
done is they've took a cell froma sperm and an egg from a
pigeon, primordial germ cell.
I'm not even sure how thatrelates to a dodo bird, but
(27:52):
they've been able to d createthat germ and that process is
gonna bring 'em one step closerto the dodo bird.
There you go, folks.
Now think about that.
They're manipulating a pigeon'sprimordial germ cell, putting
(28:12):
it in some sperm and egg cells,and they're saying that's gonna
get 'em one step closer to thedodo bird.
So and they're saying that's atype that type of pigeon was
very much related to the Doby Obird.
Look at everybody.
(28:36):
I'm not why do they want tobring these creatures back?
I mean or have they already,and they're just slowly leaking
it out in the news, so uh wewill be kind of what?
Used to it when they startshowing up.
Sunny (28:54):
Yeah.
You know there's been a wholelot of weird creature spottings
and sightings, and yeah, theyprobably already got 'em coming
back, and we're just not seeingthem yet.
Bruce (29:10):
Well, very well possible.
I just think it's uh playingwith uh some weird um
characteristics and you don'tknow what's gonna happen.
Sunny (29:25):
I do.
They're gonna have some weirdanimals running around just like
they're doing now.
What you think the uh Bigfootis just a phenomenon?
Bruce (29:38):
What was that?
Sunny (29:39):
Never mind, you just think it's a creature made up?
No, it's probably a long lostcreature from well before that
they brought back and nowthey're we're all seeing it, you
know.
Bruce (29:54):
Well Bigfoot's been around for years.
So unless these scientists havebeen doing this long time ago,
I mean hundreds of years ago,then Bigfoot is not one of their
creatures.
Now I I don't doubt one bitthat Bigfoot's not a creature
(30:16):
that was from that era we'retalking about, or after.
Just like the giants, the Biblesays they were there before and
after.
So, you know, that's stillgoing on.
Sunny (30:31):
Okay.
Okay.
Bruce (30:35):
Hmm.
Yeah, ponder that.
That's a good thing to do.
And while we're ponderingthings, wait a minute, I want to
shift gears.
Let me get over here to I gotthe studio set up a little bit
different, and it's been hardgetting used to.
Hopefully it's going to helpthe sound effects, but it helps
(30:58):
me get closer to my mixing boardwhere I can hit the buttons a
little bit better.
But what I was gonna say, we'regonna take a step back and go
political for a minute.
I know I don't like doing that,and I know that you know I try
to make this podcast humorous alittle bit, if I can.
Sunny (31:21):
Oh, you are humorous.
You're just a joke.
Bruce (31:24):
Hey.
Thank you.
Sunny (31:27):
Oh, you're so welcome.
I'm glad I can help.
Bend over and I'll help youout.
Bruce (31:32):
Well, you gonna kick me?
Sunny (31:35):
Uh-huh.
Bruce (31:36):
Alright, well no, I don't think I want that.
Um I'll just stay right here.
Yeah, the main reason I startedthis podcast was because I like
radio shows.
And it was the closest thing todoing a radio show without the
music.
I would love to do a podcastand add a lot more music, but
(31:56):
right now, the way the laws are,I can't seem to wait to do it
and do it legally.
So we won't.
Now, every now and then I finduh some pretty good music that
where they uh the creators haveput it on a few web pages that
you can uh I always send them alittle sats, and uh I use that
(32:19):
you know on an episode or two,but if I use too much music,
Spotify and even Apple may startkicking me off.
So I try not to do much ofthat.
But that's the closest thing tothe old radio.
Sounding familiar, so I starteddoing a podcast, you know, with
the hopes that I could kind ofdo a radio show without the
(32:42):
radio.
So that's you know, that's whatstarted.
But I always hoped I'd you knowbe an uplifting podcast where
people could hear me and nothear all that junk.
And, you know, they they listento the news and they watch
their social media run accounts,and what happens is their blood
(33:04):
boils, basically.
They they get upset, uptight,and we've talked about this
before how you end up hatingyour neighbor and judging the
other guy and all that stuff,and that it's created to be that
way.
So we will hate each other,judge each other while they get
by with stealing us blind,taking away our authority,
(33:27):
taking away our freedoms, andthey sit up in their high horses
and laugh and take the money.
They've never been here for us,and they never will be anyway.
So I stay away from thepolitical scene every now and
then.
I do delve into it.
So today, on the last of mypodcast episode, I want to talk
(33:50):
a little bit about what's goingon in a few of the states.
Sunny (33:56):
Do tell what you talking about, Bruce.
Bruce (34:02):
Uh, you're so comical.
Sunny (34:04):
Well, thank you.
I try.
Bruce (34:06):
Uh uh, okay.
Anyhow, Portland, Oregon.
Uh, that is one of the citiesthat uh has had uh I show up,
and I maybe the National Guardtoo.
I'm not positive on that.
They've got some extra feet onthe ground, I'll put it that
way, and I'm not sure it's goingover very well.
(34:29):
So to the people there, hello.
If you anybody knows anybody inPortland or Oregon, do a shout
out for me, and I pray for youguys there.
If there's trouble in thatcity, may they find it and get
it out.
But for you people, commonpeople like me and you, we don't
(34:53):
need any of that.
We don't need the trouble, wedon't need the people coming in
getting in trouble.
It's just a lot of a lot ofbaloney.
And Chicago, Illinois isanother one.
So anybody in Chicago, hear meout, man, hang in there.
Stay tough, all right?
Supposedly the way it'sproduced to us is they're going
(35:18):
in to help and clean up thesecities and do good and get rid
of the trash is what they'resaying.
Get rid of the illegal aliensand not just them, but the
criminal elements, what they'recalling them.
But uh a lot of us has heardnews where they're going after
(35:41):
citizens and a lot of mess.
And right now we don't need anyof that.
We don't need people, we don'tneed to be looking down on each
other, we need to sticktogether, we need to love each
other and help each other, youknow, and as I read last
episode, I think it was the 14thAmendment I read to you, and it
(36:04):
it shifts from a citizen to aperson talking about how they
should have legal rights by law.
And I don't I don't want to getback on that soapbox, but
people, we all need to betreated equal.
If they're in this countryillegally, then we need to deal
(36:25):
with that and help them to getlegalized.
If they're criminals, then weneed to detain them and send
them out legally.
But anyway, I've said enough.
I'm just my prayers are for thepeople.
If I had somebody coming downmy street that was wearing a
(36:47):
mask, had armed people with themand guns, and they was knocking
on doors and going in andgetting people out, I wouldn't
ask what the person was, I'd askwhat they were.
And I think that's whateverybody's doing, and I pray
for you guys, and I'm sorry thatany of us is going through that
(37:08):
in a hope that we don't forgethistory and what happened in the
days of Germany where and therewas a good poem about and I'm
I'm gonna look it up.
Alright, you know that's onething I like about doing a
recording instead of live.
Um that five minutes where Igot online and looked this poem
(37:31):
up, you would have been sittingthere in um quiet and uh I
wouldn't I probably could havecut it, but not on live, but on
the recording I can just hitpause.
But I went and looked up thatpoem because it fits.
So this is gonna be how I closethe episode and then we'll go
(37:53):
to the finals.
Most people have probablyalready already heard this poem.
Uh you may have studied it inschool.
But I'm gonna read it to youtoday because it fits.
No matter what you look at oursociety and the people and what
they've done, no matter how youlook at, you know, what's going
(38:16):
on, you need to hear this, okay?
Sunny (38:20):
Read it to us, buddy.
Read it.
Bruce (38:23):
All right, we're going to.
The name is First They Came,and is written by Pastor Martin
Niemoler, N-E-I or no, N-I-EM-O-L-L-E-R.
Martin Niemoler.
I'm gonna read it.
Here we go.
First they came for thecommunist and I did not speak
(38:46):
out because I was not acommunist.
Then they came for thesocialist and I did not speak
out because I was not asocialist.
Then they came for a tradeunionist and I did not speak out
because I was not a tradeunionist.
(39:07):
Then they came for the Jews andI did not speak out because I
was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, andthere was no one left to speak
out for me.
Sunny (39:22):
Wow, I never read that before.
Bruce (39:25):
Well, I'm glad I read it to you then, Sunny, because
that's what we got going onright now.
I mean, people are hating onthis group and hating on that
group, and they're coming afterthat group, and they're coming
after this group, and when it'sall said, it sounds good, but
what we're overlooking is thehatred behind it, the anger
(39:50):
behind it, that doesn't doanybody any good.
It festers and causes moreproblems, and uh uh it's
horrible, folks.
It's horrible.
And there are criminalsinvolved and they need to be
stopped.
I agree.
That needs to happen, but whenwe start going after groups of
(40:15):
people because there's criminalsinvolved, then we're going
after those people for the wrongreason.
And it may start sounding good,you know, at the beginning,
because we're getting rid of allthe illegal aliens and they got
criminals in them.
There's a bigger group than,you know, the criminals.
(40:36):
But next, what's gonna be next?
You know, we've heard rhetoricabout other individual or not
individuals, but other groups.
I'm gonna post this on mywebsite so anybody that comes by
can read it.
But it is very, very good toread and to read and to read
(40:58):
because it could happen again,and I think it started.
Sunny (41:02):
All right, Bruce.
Way to go.
Well, that wasn't too much of adowner.
Bruce (41:09):
I hope not.
Well, I hope it wasn't.
But anyhow, we are gonna saygood evening.
It is Sunday afternoon, and uhI'm gonna try to get this
edited, posted, and maybe tocome out tomorrow, as we have
been doing them most of thetimes on Monday nights.
(41:30):
We'll see.
Sunny (41:32):
Well, I think it's a good thing.
I like it.
Bruce (41:37):
Well, I'm glad you like it.
I'm glad you are here to helpme go and be part of the episode
and the podcast.
Sunny (41:46):
Well, thanks for letting me be here.
Wow.
That was weird, Bruce.
What was that?
Bruce (41:56):
That was one of your friends coming after you.
Sunny (42:00):
Oh, I bet that was Timmy.
Bruce (42:03):
Yeah, it probably was.
They're weren't in the door andI got the door shut and they
were after you.
Sunny (42:09):
Well, they're not gonna hurt me.
I like 'em.
Bruce (42:13):
Yeah.
You like beating on 'em andpicking on 'em.
Sunny (42:17):
I just run after 'em.
I don't pick on 'em, and theyturn around and run after me.
Bruce (42:22):
Well, that's true.
They do do that.
All right, folks.

Yep, goodbye.
Welcome to the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast, the worst
podcast in the unknownuniverse.
Or at least that's what somepeople say.
We prefer to think of ourselvesas charmingly rough around the
edges.
We're passionate aboutpodcasting and the value for
value model, where creators andlisteners connect directly.
We believe in keeping ourcontent free and open to
everyone, because who needsanother paywall, right?
Bruce (00:29):
Right.
This is Bruce from the UglyQuacking Duck.
I hope you enjoyed our newintro.
Sunny (00:35):
I liked it, and this is Sunny from the Ugly Quacking
Duck.
Bruce (00:41):
Alright, well, if you're the first time listener to our
podcast, we welcome you.
And if you're an all-timelistener or what a second time,
third time, whatever, welcomeaboard.
We appreciate all of you forcoming and being part of our
show.
Now we're here today.
This is episode what?
(01:02):
125.
125 episodes, and we're stillflying bad.
Yep, the worst podcast ever.
And we're gonna prove it to youevery time we do an episode.
I hope you enjoy it.
It is October the 5th.
Wow.
This month is already slippingby.
(01:22):
We've just been in it and it'sgoing uphill and it's gonna flop
over and then zoom.
It'll be gone.
Wow, I don't know if I likethat.
Sunny (01:34):
Well, there's nothing you can do about it, so we might as
well enjoy it.
Have fun and do what we do.
Bruce (01:42):
Do what we do, yep.
Okay, we're gonna do what wedo, and that'll be a lot of fun.
Sunny (01:51):
Well, okay, if you insist, but I wonder if people
really think it's fun.
Bruce (01:57):
Well, whatever it is, it's time consuming.
So if you're gonna do laundry,mow the grass, do dishes, put
some earphones in and let thepodcast roll, and that will kind
of take you away from all themonotony that you have to do
every day.
So enjoy.
Sunny (02:17):
All right.
I'm enjoying doing it.
Bruce (02:19):
Yeah, you always do.
You like coming aboard.
You're usually so hyped up Ican't really get you calmed
down.
Sunny (02:26):
I'm trying to do better.
What can I say?
Bruce (02:29):
Got anybody you want to shout out to today?
Sunny (02:31):
Yeah, I'd like to shout up to sh not really shout up,
but I I'd like to do a shout outto all the duck crackers out
there.
You know who you are, you bigcrackers, and to my community.
The ugly cracking duck flock.
Welcome.
Bruce (02:52):
Oh, you like that flock thing, don't you?
Sunny (02:54):
Yeah, I like saying flock.
Bruce (02:59):
Okay.
Well, to our community, we dowelcome you.
And make sure you visit theuglyquacking duck.com.
Uh, we just did an earthquakereport post from 9 30, the
seven-day report, and then the30-day report, and it looks like
for 2019 it's got a lot largernumbers.
(03:23):
So as I've stated before, ifthe seven-day thingy, I don't
know what else to call it,transitions into a seven-day or
a seven-year thing, that means2019 was a little bit bigger
than the other years around it.
(03:44):
I checked them.
This year's quite a bit big,but if 2019 is bigger and it
transitions into a seven year,that means next year, 2026, is
gonna be a big one, and uh we'llhave to wait and see.
Sunny (04:01):
Yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
Nothing like finding outafterwards.
Bruce (04:07):
You're right.
Well it's kinda hard to do anyprojections because I've not
figured out the the key to that,and I don't know if anybody
else ever has.
If they did, they'd make a lotof money projecting when the
earthquake's gonna be and whereit's gonna be.
Sunny (04:24):
Hey, we oughta do that.
We can make money.
Bruce (04:29):
Yeah, or get shot when we're wrong.
You know, there's only a coupleof people in life that can be
wrong.
Politicians are wrong all thetime.
They don't get clobbered forthat.
And the weatherman, theypredict stuff and it turns
around being moved to anotherday, another temperature,
another storm.
Yeah.
Yeah, I we could do that, Iguess.
(04:51):
We just predict them, and whenthey're wrong, we can just say,
Well, we're like the weathermanor the politician.
Sunny (04:57):
No, we better not do that.
Bruce (05:00):
Yeah, we probably shouldn't.
But anyway, um, yeah.
In fact, talking about that,I've been thinking about and I
probably will, um, no longerpost my reports on my web page
because I've been doing it for acouple months now.
It takes a lot of bandwidth upand storage, and nobody has
(05:24):
chatted with me, text me, emailme that they find it interesting
or that they like it, or theylike me to change it.
I mean, I'm not getting anycommunications back, and that's
what we're here for.
So I'll probably cease that inthe near future, maybe even this
(05:45):
weekend, for the new seven-dayreport.
I'm gonna keep re r doing itfor myself for the fun of it,
but I don't know if I'm gonnapost it uh unless somebody comes
up and says, Hey, I still wantit.
Now I may from time to timeread the report on the podcast
episode.
(06:05):
Uh that's what we used to doevery week we would read the
seven-day report, but Iwouldn't, you know, post it on
the the webpage.
So we're probably gonna quit.
Uh that's just extra work andif it's not seeing any results
from anybody, then I'm gonnatake it, nobody cares.
(06:27):
So I'm just gonna keep doing itfor myself, and that that'll
take a lot more work away.
Sunny (06:35):
Oh, you're being a lazy bum.
Bruce (06:39):
I'm the biggest bum of all, Sunny.
Sunny (06:42):
Oh, you can say that again.
Bruce (06:44):
I'm the biggest bum of all, Sunny.
Sunny (06:47):
All right, I didn't literally mean you could say
that again.
That's insane.
unknown (06:55):
Gosh.
Bruce (06:57):
Oh, I'm doing what you always do to me.
Sunny (07:01):
No, I'm not that way.
I'm straight, man.
Bruce (07:05):
Straight as an arrow, huh?
Sunny (07:07):
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't ever tease.
Bruce (07:12):
Oh boy, you know where you go for lying.
Sunny (07:15):
Yeah.
Bruce (07:16):
Washington DC.
That's where all the greatliars go.
Sunny (07:20):
Oh boy, sh forgive us, folks.
He's a little bit of a lunatic.
Bruce (07:29):
Uh no, you are.
Alright, whatever.
Hey Sunny.
Hey Bruce.
Have you heard of that newactress Tilly Tilly Norwood?
Sunny (07:46):
Oh yeah, that was a girl that played on Game of Thrones.
I like her.
Bruce (07:53):
No, that was not Tilly Norwood.
Tilly Norwood is a new AI,which is artificial
intelligence, that's what theysay.
Actress.
Totally made up, and she istotally made up.
She's got an Instagram account.
She's supposedly talking tosome producers um about getting
(08:16):
a new gig, and she's doingscreen tests and all kinds of
made up stuff.
Sunny (08:23):
Oh, really?
Is she famous?
Bruce (08:26):
Well, they're they're working on trying to get her
that way, and it you know, itjust happened this year, and
unlike most actors andactresses, um, boom, they just
put her on the internet, makeher an Instagram account, and
you know, they just do a fewother things, and she's popular.
(08:46):
Of course, it was all made up,but apparently her whole Johnny,
Johnny can't talk.
Sunny (08:57):
Spit it out, Bruce.
Come on, spit it out.
Bruce (09:03):
The whole thing is really ticking off a lot of people in
Hollywood.
Uh, they are fuming mad aboutit, or so a lot of people say.
I don't know, but it's quite aninteresting phenomenon.
You know, AI is here andthey're here to stay, so there's
nothing we're gonna do aboutit.
How we deal with it as humansand how we um associate with the
(09:30):
things that are AI that willprobably make a difference.
Now I'm not sure AI is evergonna take over, but the people
that use AI as a tool, that'sgonna be the problem.
Who's gonna use it and how arethey gonna use it?
Sunny (09:48):
Oh yeah.
That that's scary.
It could be another nineteeneighty-four.
Bruce (09:55):
Yeah, and for the people don't know what you just said,
nineteen eighty-four was a noveluh written about uh a really
black part of culture andhistory.
Not really he history, it wasfuturistic when it was written,
but it uh 1984 has alreadypassed, but it was a a really
(10:20):
dark book about how society wastaken over and all that.
So they're just saying that uhYeah.
Sunny (10:30):
What are they saying, Bruce?
Huh?
They're saying I'm a goodlooking guy.
Bruce (10:36):
No, they're not saying that at all.
Sunny (10:38):
Aww.
Bruce (10:40):
They're saying I'm a I'm not even gonna go there.
Sunny (10:44):
Oh, you're no fun.
Bruce (10:46):
Yeah, we've been told that before many times.
Sunny (10:51):
Yeah, yes for sure.
But anyhow, she's a made upactress, yeah.
So we're living in a made upworld, a matrix, and they have
uh AI which is made up inputinto that matrix from another
(11:12):
made up world.
That's really messed up.
Bruce (11:17):
Yes, it is very messed up.
Um I don't know how you youcould get any more sci-fi than
what you just said.
And I love sci-fi.
But yeah, it just don't workvery well, does it?
Sunny (11:32):
Uh it works pretty good, it sounds like.
Bruce (11:35):
Oh boy, did you hear that motorcycle go by with the radio
blaring?
Sunny (11:39):
I did.
I couldn't tell what the musicwas, but I could hear it.
Bruce (11:44):
Yeah, it j it went by too quick.
I really couldn't figure it outeither.
But anyhow, I thought that wasan interesting story, so I
wanted to bring it up.
Look her up, or it I don't evenknow where to go with that, but
look up this AI actress, andher name is Tilly T-I-L-L-Y
(12:06):
Norwood, N-O-R-W-Z-O-O-D.
Almost said zero.
Sunny (12:15):
Oh, brother.
Bruce (12:17):
Well, that's just the way life is.
But look her up.
It's kind of interesting.
She looks like a normal averagefemale actress.
It's uh all age uh AIgenerated, which I like to say
ancient intelligence for variousreasons, but it's pretty
interesting.
And I said that about threetimes, so I better quit saying
(12:40):
it.
Now I'm gonna tell a little bitabout my age now, but I mean,
you know, it kind of fits intothe story.
But back when I was going toschool in the 70s, I never
realized that I didn't see anyexpecting teachers or expecting
mothers that were teachers.
Uh I just never noticed itbecause I was young and you
(13:03):
know, other things were beingapplied to me at that time.
Sunny (13:08):
Yeah, you had to learn.
That was hard, wasn't it,Bruce?
Bruce (13:13):
Uh, you could say that.
Uh difficult paying attentionin them, you know, them
classrooms you really are notdesigned to allow us to learn
and to grow.
They're designed to get us toshut up, learn to be controlled,
and take orders from aauthority character, whether
(13:36):
it's a teacher or a boss or thepresident or whatever.
That's what they're they'rejust training.
Anyhow, that's another storyfor another time.
Uh during the 70s, apparently,was when they allowed pregnant
or expecting mothers who wereteachers to fulfill the rest of
(14:00):
their pregnancy at work, atschool, during a classroom, or
in a classroom.
I did not know up until 1974,they weren't allowed to finish
their pregnancy in a classroom.
They had to leave at midterm.
And that's not midterm of theclass, that's midterm of their
(14:22):
pregnancy.
So they were, you know, womenwere very mistreated throughout
history and still are, and I'mnot going to get into any of
that, but apparently theycouldn't stay in the classroom
as a teacher during their fullpregnancy.
They had to leave.
But in 1974, believe it or not,it was that recent, or it is
(14:47):
for me, because I lived that,uh, the Supreme Court ruled
these policies wereunconstitutional, and that
established that women couldkeep going to work while
pregnant.
What do you think about that,Sunny?
Sunny (15:01):
I think that makes it hard on the woman either way.
I mean, she's got to carry thatextra burden, deal with all the
sicknesses that come with it,and put up with a job.
Yeah.
You know how life is.
It's definitely unfair.
Bruce (15:19):
You said a mouthful, for sure.
Yeah, I just thought that wasinteresting.
I read that and I thought, wow,that's some news I never I
didn't realize.
See, when I was young, I didn'tpay any attention to the news.
I like the cartoons.
And if anybody's from SouthernIllinois, maybe they remember
Cactus Pete, you know, and UncleBriggs.
(15:41):
If you do, give me a shout out,because that was, you know, I
got home after school, got myhomework done, and I think he'd
come on at five o'clock.
It may have been six.
But we'd flip that TV on, youknow, and you had to pull the
button, turn the dial to get itto the right place, turn the
(16:02):
volume up, and turn the rotor,and there you was, Channel 3
would pop on.
It was from Harrisburg,Illinois, and we would watch
Cactus Pete and Uncle Briggs,who took over afterwards.
And I'd watch the Three Stoogesand Cartoons.
Um it was Daffy Duck, BugsBunny, you know, all the famous
(16:25):
cartoons from back in that era.
Yeah, that was a good addriving um evening.
Sunny (16:34):
Yeah, you didn't want to do your homework, did you?
Bruce (16:37):
No, nobody wants to do their homework, but I did so I
can watch cartoons, and I alwayshad to run trash out real quick
before I got to sit down.
But then were the days, youknow.
We didn't watch news and getall upset like everybody does
now.
Sunny (16:52):
Oh, now don't start on that.
Bruce (16:55):
Okay, I won't.
Let's talk about somethingelse.
Sunny (16:59):
All right, let's talk.
What do you want to talk about,Fred?
Bruce (17:04):
No, Fred's the ghost.
I'm Bruce, remember?
Sunny (17:09):
Yes.
I'm Sunny, you're Bruce, andFred just walked by.
Bruce (17:15):
I didn't see him.
Sunny (17:17):
Well, that's not my fault.
Bruce (17:21):
Okay.
Should I get worried?
Sunny (17:24):
No, you'll be all right.
He ain't after you.
Bruce (17:27):
A whole lot.
Sunny (17:30):
He just likes to walk around and freak the cats out.
Kinda like I do.
Bruce (17:35):
Oh, well, yeah, I can see that.
Anyhow, let's talk aboutcameras.
Want to?
Sunny (17:42):
Yeah, I know what cameras are.
They take pictures.
Duh.
Bruce (17:47):
Yeah, yeah, they do.
Sunny (17:50):
So what about cameras, Bruce?
Tell us the world story.
Bruce (17:55):
Well, boy, I don't know if I can tell a world story, but
how about a small story about aKodak camera?
Are you ready for it?
Kodak has just shrunk the 1987nostalgic camera that we all are
familiar with, and they'veshrunk it down to a keychain
(18:16):
size camera.
Now the camera doesn't use filmanymore.
It actually is a digitalcamera, but it looks a lot like
the old camera, and it takespictures digitally, but they are
nostalgic looking.
Now it doesn't take greatcameras, not like your phone
(18:37):
shoot nowadays.
Most phones take betterpictures than a camera does, but
I still like, you know, the olddigital or the 35 millimeter
because there's certain uhportraits and other things that
you can take that really gets alot more uh what characteristic
(19:00):
from it, colors and stuff thanyou can get with a phone.
Anyway, that's another storyalso.
But they've shrunk down thiscamera, made it into a keychain,
and it's only thirty dollars,and you can choose from
different styles, and they haveum I think they may be selling
(19:21):
different styles at differenttimes, but it has a LCD screen
on it, and you can choose whatthe photos are gonna look like,
and it's very uh reminiscent ofa age gone by.
So, you know, for thirtydollars it may be kind of neat
just to have one and make someold looking pictures.
(19:44):
Check it out.
Kodak has done this.
Sunny (19:46):
Yay! Are we getting paid for that?
Bruce (19:51):
No, we're not getting paid for anything.
We uh anything we do we just dofor the fun of it.
We don't get paid for anything.
Nothing.
Sunny (20:01):
Alright.
Well I just check and youalmost sound like an
advertisement.
Bruce (20:06):
Oh, well thanks.
I'm glad I sound likesomething.
Sunny (20:10):
Well you're very welcome, old man.
Bruce (20:13):
Oh, now I'm an old man.
Sunny (20:16):
Aren't you?
Bruce (20:17):
No, I'm not 120 yet.
Sunny (20:21):
Yeah you are.
Bruce (20:22):
Uh no, but anyhow, let's don't uh anyhow.
Well let's talk a little bitabout the weather, shall we?
Sunny (20:34):
Yeah, it's dry, it's not raining, and it's still kinda
hot for October.
Bruce (20:42):
So true.
It is supposed to rain, I thinklast time I looked on Tuesday
sometime, and they'll probablychange it, and they normally do,
but we're supposed to get alittle bit of rain Tuesday, and
I haven't mowed my grass kind ofneeds it, but it's really a
thin um seeding type ofcrabgrass, and uh it don't look
(21:06):
pretty, but it really isn'tthick enough to mow, plus it's
so dry, if I mow it, it's gonnakill everything and blow a bunch
of dust, so I probably ain'tgonna mow for a while.
Sunny (21:18):
Oh, you got a brand new lawnmower, and now you're gonna
not mow?
Is that what I'm hearing?
What, you tore it up already?
Bruce (21:28):
No, I just don't want to blow dust all over it, and all
over the yard and all over me.
It don't matter.
I mean, the grass is notgrowing six foot tall like it
did this spring every time itrained.
I mean, we've got a little bitof rain in what, the last two
weeks?
So, no, it don't matter.
But anyhow, let's talk aboutthe weather.
(21:50):
It is right now hot.
I don't know how else to saythat.
I'm gonna look up thetemperature on the internet.
It says it's 82 degrees andpartly cloudy.
And in Phoenix, Arizona, getready for this.
You know, it's usuallydifferent.
But it says 82 degrees andsunny.
(22:11):
So the only difference here isthey're sunny, we're partly
cloudy.
Sunny (22:17):
Well, that's kind of weird.
Usually they're real hot.
Bruce (22:21):
Yeah, but it's October.
That should make a difference.
But right now, according to theweatherman on the internet, it
is 82 in both locations.
Now, if we jump over, and Ijust hit the wrong button.
If we jump over to Spokane,Washington, it is 60 degrees
(22:44):
right now.
So they've got some really niceweather.
And we are at 51% humidity, 10mile an hour winds, and the air
quality is 41, but it's stillgood, but it's 41.
Sunny (22:59):
Does that mean I'm not choking when I should be, or
what?
What does that even mean?
Bruce (23:06):
I honestly don't know.
I just figured if if the airquality goes up, that means it
used to mean smogs in the area,but it could be dust and uh
pollen and all that kind ofstuff.
However, Phoenix, Arizona is at17%.
They only have a one mile anhour wind, and their air quality
is 18.
(23:27):
Wow.
And Spokane, Washington doesnot have a quality meter on my
uh screen, so I don't know whattheir quality is.
But their wind is at six milesan hour.
Yay.
(23:48):
We are at a moon phase ofwaxing gibbeas, if anybody
follows that stuff.
Now their visibility is at tenmiles, so they got pretty good
quality, I'd say.
Sunny (24:03):
You know, Bruce, um why do ducks have tail feathers?
Bruce (24:09):
Well, that way they can turn and flight.
They kind of they move theirtails, feathers back and forth,
and kind of twist it and ithelps them to fly.
Sunny (24:20):
No dummy.
It's to cover their buttquacks.
I was not going to go there,but I thought, why not?
Bruce (24:38):
Wow.
That caught me off guard.
I was not ready for you tothrow a joke out there, man, and
I thought you was beingserious.
Sunny (24:46):
That's what you did, see.
I caught you off guard.
Bruce (24:52):
Now that you did.
You for sure did.
Well, you know what, Sunny,I've found a very interesting
article.
I'm not gonna read it to you.
unknown (25:02):
Sh.
Sunny (25:03):
That's a good thing.
I was worried.
Bruce (25:06):
Oh, come on, give me a break.
Sunny (25:08):
Nope.
Unless you want it in the leg.
Bruce (25:11):
Oh okay.
So anyway, I run across anarticle.
Now this one's been postedsince uh September 17th.
So it's it's an old one.
I was gonna read it a coupleepisodes ago, but I didn't get a
chance to.
But it you know, it just blowsme away how we have come full
(25:35):
circle in history.
Uh before the flood, accordingto biblical times and biblical
scripture, there was creatureson this earth um designed by the
fallen angel's offspring, andthey had designed all kinds of
(25:56):
weird beasts and animals andstuff.
According to Revelation, Ithink it's Revel No, Jesus
quoted this, I think, that itwould be the same as in Noah's
or yeah, Noah's time as it is inthe end times.
You know, a lot of people justthink that sin's gonna run amok,
(26:17):
which it probably is sayingthat.
But it's also talking about, Ibelieve, that we are gonna come
full circle and repeat history.
Uh with the help of theseentities, we are gonna start
messing with chromosomes andgenes and crossbreeding things
(26:41):
that we shouldn't andmanipulating their genes so they
will grow weird animals andsuch.
And every time I read one ofthese articles where they're
going back and cutting the genesfrom one thing into another to
reproduce a lost animal from ourhistory, I think, yep, we are
(27:06):
taking one more step closer tothat.
So apparently they have figuredout a way to bring the dodo
bird back.
You guys remember the dodobird, it went distinct several
years ago, back in theseventeenth century, I believe.
But apparently they have gotone step closer.
(27:28):
Now they're saying it'llprobably be another decade
before they can bring a dodobird to life, but what they've
done is they've took a cell froma sperm and an egg from a
pigeon, primordial germ cell.
I'm not even sure how thatrelates to a dodo bird, but
(27:52):
they've been able to d createthat germ and that process is
gonna bring 'em one step closerto the dodo bird.
There you go, folks.
Now think about that.
They're manipulating a pigeon'sprimordial germ cell, putting
(28:12):
it in some sperm and egg cells,and they're saying that's gonna
get 'em one step closer to thedodo bird.
So and they're saying that's atype that type of pigeon was
very much related to the Doby Obird.
Look at everybody.
(28:36):
I'm not why do they want tobring these creatures back?
I mean or have they already,and they're just slowly leaking
it out in the news, so uh wewill be kind of what?
Used to it when they startshowing up.
Sunny (28:54):
Yeah.
You know there's been a wholelot of weird creature spottings
and sightings, and yeah, theyprobably already got 'em coming
back, and we're just not seeingthem yet.
Bruce (29:10):
Well, very well possible.
I just think it's uh playingwith uh some weird um
characteristics and you don'tknow what's gonna happen.
Sunny (29:25):
I do.
They're gonna have some weirdanimals running around just like
they're doing now.
What you think the uh Bigfootis just a phenomenon?
Bruce (29:38):
What was that?
Sunny (29:39):
Never mind, you just think it's a creature made up?
No, it's probably a long lostcreature from well before that
they brought back and nowthey're we're all seeing it, you
know.
Bruce (29:54):
Well Bigfoot's been around for years.
So unless these scientists havebeen doing this long time ago,
I mean hundreds of years ago,then Bigfoot is not one of their
creatures.
Now I I don't doubt one bitthat Bigfoot's not a creature
(30:16):
that was from that era we'retalking about, or after.
Just like the giants, the Biblesays they were there before and
after.
So, you know, that's stillgoing on.
Sunny (30:31):
Okay.
Okay.
Bruce (30:35):
Hmm.
Yeah, ponder that.
That's a good thing to do.
And while we're ponderingthings, wait a minute, I want to
shift gears.
Let me get over here to I gotthe studio set up a little bit
different, and it's been hardgetting used to.
Hopefully it's going to helpthe sound effects, but it helps
(30:58):
me get closer to my mixing boardwhere I can hit the buttons a
little bit better.
But what I was gonna say, we'regonna take a step back and go
political for a minute.
I know I don't like doing that,and I know that you know I try
to make this podcast humorous alittle bit, if I can.
Sunny (31:21):
Oh, you are humorous.
You're just a joke.
Bruce (31:24):
Hey.
Thank you.
Sunny (31:27):
Oh, you're so welcome.
I'm glad I can help.
Bend over and I'll help youout.
Bruce (31:32):
Well, you gonna kick me?
Sunny (31:35):
Uh-huh.
Bruce (31:36):
Alright, well no, I don't think I want that.
Um I'll just stay right here.
Yeah, the main reason I startedthis podcast was because I like
radio shows.
And it was the closest thing todoing a radio show without the
music.
I would love to do a podcastand add a lot more music, but
(31:56):
right now, the way the laws are,I can't seem to wait to do it
and do it legally.
So we won't.
Now, every now and then I finduh some pretty good music that
where they uh the creators haveput it on a few web pages that
you can uh I always send them alittle sats, and uh I use that
(32:19):
you know on an episode or two,but if I use too much music,
Spotify and even Apple may startkicking me off.
So I try not to do much ofthat.
But that's the closest thing tothe old radio.
Sounding familiar, so I starteddoing a podcast, you know, with
the hopes that I could kind ofdo a radio show without the
(32:42):
radio.
So that's you know, that's whatstarted.
But I always hoped I'd you knowbe an uplifting podcast where
people could hear me and nothear all that junk.
And, you know, they they listento the news and they watch
their social media run accounts,and what happens is their blood
(33:04):
boils, basically.
They they get upset, uptight,and we've talked about this
before how you end up hatingyour neighbor and judging the
other guy and all that stuff,and that it's created to be that
way.
So we will hate each other,judge each other while they get
by with stealing us blind,taking away our authority,
(33:27):
taking away our freedoms, andthey sit up in their high horses
and laugh and take the money.
They've never been here for us,and they never will be anyway.
So I stay away from thepolitical scene every now and
then.
I do delve into it.
So today, on the last of mypodcast episode, I want to talk
(33:50):
a little bit about what's goingon in a few of the states.
Sunny (33:56):
Do tell what you talking about, Bruce.
Bruce (34:02):
Uh, you're so comical.
Sunny (34:04):
Well, thank you.
I try.
Bruce (34:06):
Uh uh, okay.
Anyhow, Portland, Oregon.
Uh, that is one of the citiesthat uh has had uh I show up,
and I maybe the National Guardtoo.
I'm not positive on that.
They've got some extra feet onthe ground, I'll put it that
way, and I'm not sure it's goingover very well.
(34:29):
So to the people there, hello.
If you anybody knows anybody inPortland or Oregon, do a shout
out for me, and I pray for youguys there.
If there's trouble in thatcity, may they find it and get
it out.
But for you people, commonpeople like me and you, we don't
(34:53):
need any of that.
We don't need the trouble, wedon't need the people coming in
getting in trouble.
It's just a lot of a lot ofbaloney.
And Chicago, Illinois isanother one.
So anybody in Chicago, hear meout, man, hang in there.
Stay tough, all right?
Supposedly the way it'sproduced to us is they're going
(35:18):
in to help and clean up thesecities and do good and get rid
of the trash is what they'resaying.
Get rid of the illegal aliensand not just them, but the
criminal elements, what they'recalling them.
But uh a lot of us has heardnews where they're going after
(35:41):
citizens and a lot of mess.
And right now we don't need anyof that.
We don't need people, we don'tneed to be looking down on each
other, we need to sticktogether, we need to love each
other and help each other, youknow, and as I read last
episode, I think it was the 14thAmendment I read to you, and it
(36:04):
it shifts from a citizen to aperson talking about how they
should have legal rights by law.
And I don't I don't want to getback on that soapbox, but
people, we all need to betreated equal.
If they're in this countryillegally, then we need to deal
(36:25):
with that and help them to getlegalized.
If they're criminals, then weneed to detain them and send
them out legally.
But anyway, I've said enough.
I'm just my prayers are for thepeople.
If I had somebody coming downmy street that was wearing a
(36:47):
mask, had armed people with themand guns, and they was knocking
on doors and going in andgetting people out, I wouldn't
ask what the person was, I'd askwhat they were.
And I think that's whateverybody's doing, and I pray
for you guys, and I'm sorry thatany of us is going through that
(37:08):
in a hope that we don't forgethistory and what happened in the
days of Germany where and therewas a good poem about and I'm
I'm gonna look it up.
Alright, you know that's onething I like about doing a
recording instead of live.
Um that five minutes where Igot online and looked this poem
(37:31):
up, you would have been sittingthere in um quiet and uh I
wouldn't I probably could havecut it, but not on live, but on
the recording I can just hitpause.
But I went and looked up thatpoem because it fits.
So this is gonna be how I closethe episode and then we'll go
(37:53):
to the finals.
Most people have probablyalready already heard this poem.
Uh you may have studied it inschool.
But I'm gonna read it to youtoday because it fits.
No matter what you look at oursociety and the people and what
they've done, no matter how youlook at, you know, what's going
(38:16):
on, you need to hear this, okay?
Sunny (38:20):
Read it to us, buddy.
Read it.
Bruce (38:23):
All right, we're going to.
The name is First They Came,and is written by Pastor Martin
Niemoler, N-E-I or no, N-I-EM-O-L-L-E-R.
Martin Niemoler.
I'm gonna read it.
Here we go.
First they came for thecommunist and I did not speak
(38:46):
out because I was not acommunist.
Then they came for thesocialist and I did not speak
out because I was not asocialist.
Then they came for a tradeunionist and I did not speak out
because I was not a tradeunionist.
(39:07):
Then they came for the Jews andI did not speak out because I
was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, andthere was no one left to speak
out for me.
Sunny (39:22):
Wow, I never read that before.
Bruce (39:25):
Well, I'm glad I read it to you then, Sunny, because
that's what we got going onright now.
I mean, people are hating onthis group and hating on that
group, and they're coming afterthat group, and they're coming
after this group, and when it'sall said, it sounds good, but
what we're overlooking is thehatred behind it, the anger
(39:50):
behind it, that doesn't doanybody any good.
It festers and causes moreproblems, and uh uh it's
horrible, folks.
It's horrible.
And there are criminalsinvolved and they need to be
stopped.
I agree.
That needs to happen, but whenwe start going after groups of
(40:15):
people because there's criminalsinvolved, then we're going
after those people for the wrongreason.
And it may start sounding good,you know, at the beginning,
because we're getting rid of allthe illegal aliens and they got
criminals in them.
There's a bigger group than,you know, the criminals.
(40:36):
But next, what's gonna be next?
You know, we've heard rhetoricabout other individual or not
individuals, but other groups.
I'm gonna post this on mywebsite so anybody that comes by
can read it.
But it is very, very good toread and to read and to read
(40:58):
because it could happen again,and I think it started.
Sunny (41:02):
All right, Bruce.
Way to go.
Well, that wasn't too much of adowner.
Bruce (41:09):
I hope not.
Well, I hope it wasn't.
But anyhow, we are gonna saygood evening.
It is Sunday afternoon, and uhI'm gonna try to get this
edited, posted, and maybe tocome out tomorrow, as we have
been doing them most of thetimes on Monday nights.
(41:30):
We'll see.
Sunny (41:32):
Well, I think it's a good thing.
I like it.
Bruce (41:37):
Well, I'm glad you like it.
I'm glad you are here to helpme go and be part of the episode
and the podcast.
Sunny (41:46):
Well, thanks for letting me be here.
Wow.
That was weird, Bruce.
What was that?
Bruce (41:56):
That was one of your friends coming after you.
Sunny (42:00):
Oh, I bet that was Timmy.
Bruce (42:03):
Yeah, it probably was.
They're weren't in the door andI got the door shut and they
were after you.
Sunny (42:09):
Well, they're not gonna hurt me.
I like 'em.
Bruce (42:13):
Yeah.
You like beating on 'em andpicking on 'em.
Sunny (42:17):
I just run after 'em.
I don't pick on 'em, and theyturn around and run after me.
Bruce (42:22):
Well, that's true.
They do do that.
