Sonny and Bruce explore fascinating wildlife conservation technologies including robot bunnies deployed in Florida to catch pythons and radioactive isotopes being added to rhino horns to catch poachers.
• Robot bunnies in Florida give off heat signatures to attract pythons, with researchers planning to add scent attractants
• The " Rhisotope Project " in South Africa adds harmless radioactive isotopes to rhino horns that set off detectors at border crossings
• Current weather in the Midwest reaching 95 degrees with 47% humidity, compared to Phoenix at 103 degrees with only 24% humidity
• Seven-day earthquake report shows 2,030 total earthquakes, with significant 6.0+ magnitude quakes in Turkey and Russia
• Lily starts school on Wednesday, ending her summer break

Bruce (00:05):
Hello everyone and welcome to the Ugly Quacking
Duck podcast, the worst podcastin the known universe.
Sonny (00:14):
That's right.
We are well known to be theworst, the worst, worst, worst.
Hello everyone, I'm Sonny.
Bruce (00:26):
Oh hello, sonny.
Oh hello, sonny, and I am Bruceand we welcome everybody to the
Ugly Quacking Duck podcast.
Thank you for coming.
If this is your first episode,won't you send us a text and let
us know All you have to do?
If you're on a podcast playerversion 2, or podcast 2.0,
(00:51):
however you want to say it, ifyou'll look at the podcast
details on that player, there'llbe a place there you can just
hit, text us and tell us thatyou're fresh here and you
hopefully will come back again.
But let us know, all right.
Sonny (01:12):
It's hard to believe that we're already here, but it's
been a week Wow.
Bruce (01:18):
Yeah, august is flying by really quick.
It's time of recording.
It's August the 10th, alreadyschool be starting up, or
already has for many people.
But I know, like lily, shestarts school on the 13th, so
that's what monday?
Let's see, this is sunday.
(01:40):
No, uh, 11, 12, wednesday,wednesday, oh boy, and then her
summer break is over with andwe've only got her on here twice
, I believe.
Sonny (01:53):
Yeah, she's shirking her responsibilities.
She's such a bum.
Bruce (02:00):
Oh yeah, she is a bum, but we love her to death and I
hope she does well in schoolthis year.
Sonny (02:08):
Yeah, that's important, Do well.
Bruce (02:13):
Lily, yes, do well, lily.
Well, sonny, you been doing allright I have.
Sonny (02:20):
How about you, Bruce?
Bruce (02:22):
Yep, I'm doing good.
I've had a few days off fromwork.
They gave me the days off in arow, believe it or not.
Sonny (02:32):
No.
Bruce (02:34):
Yeah, they did, so I've enjoyed them.
I am done a little bit of yardwork and got way too hot, Been
pretty miserable, but I got alittle bit done and now I'm
going to work on the podcastbefore I go back to work Monday.
Well, that was really weird,but a little icon said assign
(02:55):
the button to a certain soundpopped up in my display on my
mixer and I hadn't touchedanything.
That was really weird.
So I hope nothing goes wrongwith the audio.
We're always having problems.
Anyhow, Sonny, what have youbeen up to this week?
Sonny (03:17):
Nothing, just goofing off .
Bruce (03:20):
Okay, well, I won't tell on you anymore then.
Sonny (03:25):
Yeah, speaking of telling , do you have any stories maybe?
Bruce (03:32):
Yes, I do.
I'm glad you mentioned that.
That brings us right into somestories.
I actually have a few stories,or a couple, and we're going to
talk about animals this weekanimals.
Sonny (03:47):
I like talking about animals all right.
Bruce (03:52):
Well, that's a good thing .
So you know, I've run acrossthis article, on the internet,
of course, and it's kind ofinteresting.
Where would you think you wouldnot see a robot?
Sonny (04:08):
In a swimming pool.
Bruce (04:11):
Actually, that's way off, because they have robot
cleaners that will getunderwater and clean the
swimming pool.
So, nope, one more chance.
How about it?
Sonny (04:25):
All right, another guess, I will say in the woods.
Bruce (04:34):
Well, that's pretty close .
I'll give you applause for that.
This story is about a robotbunny, believe it or not, and
it's deployed in Florida, whichis not really the woods, but
they have made a bunny robot totry to catch pythons.
(05:02):
Try to catch pythons.
Apparently the pythons aregetting really thick and they're
hard to catch in Florida.
So these researchers havedeveloped this robot that they
can put in a cage and it willjust sit there and it actually
(05:24):
gives off heat signatures, likea regular rabbit would, and
they're hoping it will draw inthe snake, the pythone-n-t-s.
They will be adding a scent tothe robot, hopefully to lure
(05:54):
these pythons in.
But they use 40 solar powered,remote controlled,
remote-controlled robot bunniesin South Florida to see if they
could catch some of thosepythons and get them out, and I
think they're probably going torelocate them.
But I thought that was a coolarticle.
(06:19):
They're actually using them forsomething good instead of, you
know, killer robots, like sci-fialways has.
But anyway, robotic bunnies,there you go.
Sonny (06:33):
Well, I hear those pythons stay hid really well and
they're having very muchtrouble catching them.
Bruce (06:46):
You got that right, yeah, so they've done something
unique to try to catch them andI hope them well.
That sounds like an interestingstory anyway.
Sonny (06:57):
Yes, it does.
Now you said you had a couplestories, so what's the other one
?
Bruce (07:04):
All right, right, well, let's see if I can bring it up.
All right, sonny.
Where would you think the leastlikely area to find nuclear
radiation?
Or, oh boy?
Sonny (07:21):
another question for me to answer.
Um in a baseball.
Bruce (07:30):
Um, now we're talking about animals.
Sonny (07:33):
Well, have you ever seen a baseball player?
Bruce (07:38):
Oh, a joke, I like that.
Wait a minute.
Way to go there, sonny.
Sonny (07:48):
I like it Okay.
Radioactivity with animalsinvolved, I guess in the woods.
Bruce (07:58):
That's the same answer you said a while ago, but it's
partially correct.
Sonny (08:04):
I knew it would be.
I just kind of figured.
You know, animals, woods.
Bruce (08:10):
Okay, Well, yeah, Apparently there has been a lot
of problems over the years forrhinos, and they're killing them
and harvesting their horns.
They're getting money for themfor the rhino horns, and
(08:31):
poachers have been a really,really active bunch when it
comes to that.
So they decided to add a littlebit of radioactive isotopes
into the rhino horn.
I've got a picture up on theweb where they drilled a hole in
(08:54):
it and just added a little bitNow supposedly.
Yeah, I was going to ask theweb where they drill a hole in
it and just add a little bit.
Sonny (08:59):
Now supposedly.
Yeah, I was gonna ask wouldn'tthat harm him or her?
Wouldn't it hurt the rhino?
Bruce (09:06):
well, I was getting ready to say supposedly the isotopes
are completely harmless to theanimal, supposedly.
I don't know, I never.
I never trust anything when itcomes to radioactivity, but
that's what they say.
They say the horn will.
(09:28):
The radiation will not harm theanimal, however, because they
got radioactivity in the hornwhen the, because they got
radioactivity in the horn whenthe poacher decides to take it
across the borders, the customofficials, all of them, use
(09:49):
these radioactive isotopedetectors and probably because
of nuclear weapons and stuff,and that will throw them off or
set them off, I should say andlo and behold, they caught a
poacher, so it may be worth it.
I hope it doesn't harm theanimal, but if they can catch
(10:11):
them poachers and scare themfrom taking them lives, that's
more power to them.
That's a neat trick.
So we have a robot bunny inflorida trying to catch pythons
and they call it the rice risotop project, and I would assume
(10:34):
that's over in africa yeah,south South Africa to try to
catch poachers.
So, yay, we got some goodthings going on today.
Sonny (10:46):
Hey, that's pretty neat.
I like that.
That's a good job.
Yay, well, bruce, you said itwas hot.
You were outside today early.
What's the weather like?
Bruce (11:02):
Well, I'm glad you asked Sonny.
Here locally we arebroadcasting or recording I
should say not reallybroadcasting from where Sonny?
Sonny (11:14):
We are in our Midwest hideout.
We are in the studio inSouthern Illinois Midwest.
Bruce (11:24):
Yep, you got that right.
We are in our hideout, ourstudio.
We like to go in there and hide.
It's not really, you know,actual hideout, it's just where
we go in and hide and then we doour podcast too.
So we are recording today, likeI said, it's sunday 8, 10, uh,
(11:45):
it's right now 2 15 while we'rerecording and we're going to
talk a hair bit about weather.
But this morning I went outearly and did a few of my
projects and it was 91 degrees.
When I come in about 10 o'clockis already at 91 and now it's
95.
(12:06):
Here now the uh, the weathertemperature on the weather
channel shows 92, which is, uh,always different than mine, not
sure why well, what's your phonetemperature saying you like
looking at that one I do.
(12:27):
I use the phone temperature onequite a bit.
It says it's 93, so 92, 93 andmy home temperature or
thermometer or whatever you wantto call it it says 95.
The wind's 10 miles an hour andthe air quality is 31, which is
good.
We've got a lot better airquality today.
(12:47):
Our humidity is only 47%.
Now if you look at Phoenixthat's where we like to compare
there are 103 degrees right now,24 degrees humidity, where ours
is 47, 10 miles an hour.
So they got the same wind andthe air quality there is 51.
(13:09):
So it's quite a bit higher.
I don't know if it's because ofthe fires or what going on
there, but it's quite a bithigher than normal don't know
why did the poodle buy a clock?
(13:34):
oh my wow, just had to slip thatone in, didn't you?
Sonny (13:44):
I did.
Bruce (13:45):
It was a good one too all right, if you want to believe
that, I'll let you.
Hey, let's talk about theearthquakes real quick.
Uh, I've got a report.
It's going to be a quick report, so let's shoot it down.
Well, ready yes, let's do it yayokay, well, if you guys are new
(14:09):
to the show, uh, this episodewe try to cover a seven-day
earthquake report each episode.
Now, what we've been doing hererecently is doing our normal
coverage of the seven-day reportand then we do a 2019 seven
(14:30):
days and a 2018 seven days ofthe same week, but we won't be
reporting them on the episode.
Those two years will be printedup on a report on
theuglyquackingcom.
If you'll go to the supportpage, scroll down to the bottom.
(14:53):
You'll see them.
What we recommend you do is youknow, I'm sorry, that's not
right.
That's the support page.
The bottom is where you canprint off the reporting paper
that we use, and that way, youcan fill it out yourself, but
you will see the actual report.
(15:15):
We'll post it on our post pageand there's already a couple on
there, and by the time you'rehearing this, we should have the
other one up for this week.
But what we're going to reporton today is just 8, 10, 25, 7
days back.
So are you ready?
Sonny (15:36):
I am let's have it.
Bruce (15:39):
All right, I'm glad you are there.
So if we go back seven daysfrom today, the all magnitude or
basically all the earthquakesfor them seven days, the account
is 20 sorry, 2030, 2030.
(16:00):
And then if you look at the 2.5and over earthquakes for the
same period is 375 and then forthe 4.5 and over is 199.
Now if you look at we report onthe 6.0 and above earthquakes
because there's so much damageoccurred when we have those.
(16:24):
We had a 6.1 in Turkey, a 6.0in Russia, and that is that
peninsula offset Russia, whichwould be what?
West of Alaska's peninsula,that whole fire row, what do
(16:47):
they call that?
A circle of fire area?
And then there was a 6.2 inRussia.
So they're still having thoseearthquakes.
They're just not as major asthey was a few weeks ago when we
had what?
6.8 and 8.8.
But they're big and they'rehaving 5ives and fours also.
(17:11):
I mean, if you'll look on theearthquake map, that whole
peninsula is covered withearthquakes.
I'm just reporting the biggerones.
So there you go.
That's the seven-day report fornow All right Way to go.
Sonny (17:29):
Bruce, I like that you keep it shorter because you
don't bore me to death.
Bruce (17:36):
No, well, I'm glad I don't bore you to death, but
yeah, I thought it was a littlebit better.
And if anybody's stillinterested in getting the 2019
seven day report for this thistime period and the 2018 report
for this time period and the2018 report for this time period
(17:56):
, you can go look it up on ourwebpage, theuglyquackingduckcom,
and just look up the posts andyou'll see them.
I try to do one on everyepisode and if you go and to the
(18:18):
home page theuglyquackenduckcom home page and
subscribe, you will receive anemail every time I do a post and
all you have to do is look atthe email.
I think it's just right thereon the email page.
You may have to scroll a littlebit, but you hit the See More I
think that's what it says andclick on it and it will take you
to our webpage and you can readall about it.
(18:40):
You can download that file ifyou don't want to fill it out
yourself, but there is thatability if you want to follow
along.
Anyhow, that's the earthquakereport.
I hope you enjoyed the news wehad this week and the joke.
(19:00):
That was pretty good.
Sonny (19:04):
Yes, it was good, Bruce, and thank you for keeping it
short.
Bruce (19:09):
Well, I'm glad I could make you happy and, yeah, we're
going to keep it short.
Well, I'm I'm glad I could, uh,make you happy and uh, yeah,
we're gonna keep it short.
I'm gonna take a sip of coffeeand we're gonna say our goodbyes
.
And while you're here again, ifyou are a newcomer, uh, we are
glad to have you here and we'dlike to know that you are new
listener to the show.
(19:30):
So send us a text if you got apodcast 2.0 player.
Uh, if you don't, you can justemail us at the ugly quacking
duck doc.
No, the ugly quacking duck atgmailcom.
That's the best place to do Now.
(19:50):
You can also go on our websiteand there is a contact page and
you can leave us a comment.
It's actually a comment page.
It says comment.
You can do it if you got amicrophone hooked up to your
computer or on your phone.
You can just leave us a commentand hit that speak, pipe, speak
(20:13):
, pipe button and record us amessage and we'll listen to it.
And if you don't tell us not to, we'll play it on our next
episode.
So be part of the show.
There you go.
Speaking of that, let's talkreal quick about value for value
.
We believe in value for.
So we ask you to help us out,and there's three ways you can
(20:36):
do it.
First of all, you can come back.
You can tell us you'relistening.
You can also tell someone else.
That is a major thing.
And then you can also help uswith knowledge and artwork.
Help us to plan out ourepisodes.
Then you can help usfinancially.
We're asking you to help usfinancially because all this
(20:59):
equipment and the hosting pageand the website cost money and,
yes, we do this for the fun ofit.
We like doing podcasting, butthat doesn't mean it doesn't
cost.
Everything costs nowadays.
Think about helping us out oneway or the other.
If you are one of those typepeople that would like to pray
(21:24):
for us, we would reallyappreciate that.
Uh, prayer helps out a lot.
It helps us know what to do tokeep going when we don't feel
like it.
So we are asking you todefinitely pray for us.
So I guess that means there'sfour different ways you can help
us out, but, above all, comeback, just keep listening to us.
(21:47):
Be part of the show, be part ofthe family and the friends.
That's what we're asking for.
Sunny, anything you want to add?
Sonny (21:56):
nope, I appreciate them coming around and I like doing
the episode after episode two.
It's my fun and we're hoping tokeep going for a long time.
Bruce (22:11):
All right, let's say goodbye then.
Everybody, thank you for beingwith us.
We wish you the best.
May the Father's love go withyou.
We say 73, and, sonny, whenyou're ready, we're going to say
bye.
Bye, all right, that's it.
See you later, folks.
Ha ha ha, woo-hoo.

(10:11):
them poachers and scare themfrom taking them lives, that's
more power to them.
That's a neat trick.
So we have a robot bunny inflorida trying to catch pythons
and they call it the rice risotop project, and I would assume
(10:34):
that's over in africa yeah,south South Africa to try to
catch poachers.
So, yay, we got some goodthings going on today.
Sonny (10:46):
Hey, that's pretty neat.
I like that.
That's a good job.
Yay, well, bruce, you said itwas hot.
You were outside today early.
What's the weather like?
Bruce (11:02):
Well, I'm glad you asked Sonny.
Here locally we arebroadcasting or recording I
should say not reallybroadcasting from where Sonny?
Sonny (11:14):
We are in our Midwest hideout.
We are in the studio inSouthern Illinois Midwest.
Bruce (11:24):
Yep, you got that right.
We are in our hideout, ourstudio.
We like to go in there and hide.
It's not really, you know,actual hideout, it's just where
we go in and hide and then we doour podcast too.
So we are recording today, likeI said, it's sunday 8, 10, uh,
(11:45):
it's right now 2 15 while we'rerecording and we're going to
talk a hair bit about weather.
But this morning I went outearly and did a few of my
projects and it was 91 degrees.
When I come in about 10 o'clockis already at 91 and now it's
95.
(12:06):
Here now the uh, the weathertemperature on the weather
channel shows 92, which is, uh,always different than mine, not
sure why well, what's your phonetemperature saying you like
looking at that one I do.
(12:27):
I use the phone temperature onequite a bit.
It says it's 93, so 92, 93 andmy home temperature or
thermometer or whatever you wantto call it it says 95.
The wind's 10 miles an hour andthe air quality is 31, which is
good.
We've got a lot better airquality today.
(12:47):
Our humidity is only 47%.
Now if you look at Phoenixthat's where we like to compare
there are 103 degrees right now,24 degrees humidity, where ours
is 47, 10 miles an hour.
So they got the same wind andthe air quality there is 51.
(13:09):
So it's quite a bit higher.
I don't know if it's because ofthe fires or what going on
there, but it's quite a bithigher than normal don't know
why did the poodle buy a clock?
(13:34):
oh my wow, just had to slip thatone in, didn't you?
Sonny (13:44):
I did.
Bruce (13:45):
It was a good one too all right, if you want to believe
that, I'll let you.
Hey, let's talk about theearthquakes real quick.
Uh, I've got a report.
It's going to be a quick report, so let's shoot it down.
Well, ready yes, let's do it yayokay, well, if you guys are new
(14:09):

earthquake report each episode.
Now, what we've been doing hererecently is doing our normal
coverage of the seven-day reportand then we do a 2019 seven
(14:30):
days and a 2018 seven days ofthe same week, but we won't be
reporting them on the episode.
Those two years will be printedup on a report on
theuglyquackingcom.
If you'll go to the supportpage, scroll down to the bottom.
(14:53):

What we recommend you do is youknow, I'm sorry, that's not
right.
That's the support page.
The bottom is where you canprint off the reporting paper
that we use, and that way, youcan fill it out yourself, but
you will see the actual report.
(15:15):

there, and by the time you'rehearing this, we should have the
other one up for this week.
But what we're going to reporton today is just 8, 10, 25, 7
days back.
So are you ready?
Sonny (15:36):
I am let's have it.
Bruce (15:39):
All right, I'm glad you are there.
So if we go back seven daysfrom today, the all magnitude or
basically all the earthquakesfor them seven days, the account
is 20 sorry, 2030, 2030.
(16:00):
And then if you look at the 2.5and over earthquakes for the
same period is 375 and then forthe 4.5 and over is 199.
Now if you look at we report onthe 6.0 and above earthquakes
because there's so much damageoccurred when we have those.
(16:24):
We had a 6.1 in Turkey, a 6.0in Russia, and that is that
peninsula offset Russia, whichwould be what?
West of Alaska's peninsula,that whole fire row, what do
(16:47):
they call that?
A circle of fire area?
And then there was a 6.2 inRussia.
So they're still having thoseearthquakes.
They're just not as major asthey was a few weeks ago when we
had what?
6.8 and 8.8.
But they're big and they'rehaving 5ives and fours also.
(17:11):
I mean, if you'll look on theearthquake map, that whole
peninsula is covered withearthquakes.
I'm just reporting the biggerones.
So there you go.
That's the seven-day report fornow All right Way to go.
Sonny (17:29):
Bruce, I like that you keep it shorter because you
don't bore me to death.
Bruce (17:36):

yeah, I thought it was a littlebit better.

cost.

Model Wars
On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
