Sunny (05:06):
Yes, that's what counts.

Bruce (05:09):
So I hope everybody has a good, enjoyable Memorial Day
weekend.
This is usually the day peoplelike to cook out and start their
summer activities.
The pools usually open up afterMemorial Day weekend.
No telling what the weather'sgoing to be.

(05:29):
It's supposed to be cloudy butnot raining today and I haven't
looked forward to see what therest of the weather is.
We may do that when we come tothe weather portion of the
episode, but it was 64 last time.
I looked outside and looked atour internal uh gauge or

(05:53):
thermometer that reads outsideinside, if you know what I mean.
It's wireless, but that's whatit read and that's been an hour
or so ago, so there ain't notelling what the temperature is
now.
However, it is cloudy, you cansee the cloud cover and it's
kind of dreary looking yeah, itwas nice yesterday and I seen

(06:18):
Bruce mowing oh that poor guy.
Well, at least I finally got alittle bit of the mowing done.
I got more to do today.

Sunny (06:29):
Well, I'll watch you through the window.

Bruce (06:34):
Oh, you're like everybody else around here, but okay,
that's fine.
Hey, let's talk aboutearthquakes.
Want to?

Sunny (06:41):
Yeah, let's do that.
It's been a while.

Bruce (06:55):
Actually it's been a while.
Actually it's been uh, I don'tremember.
I don't remember the dates, butwe had prepared a short report
and we tried to record it.
On tuesday, which was what, maythe 20th, and my that was an
extra day I had off and I had togo to the eye doctor and he put

(07:16):
that stuff in my eyes and thenthey just kept getting wider and
wider.
By the time I got home I washaving trouble enjoying focusing
on anything, and when I sayenjoying it, it was just too
bright.
A white piece of paper was toobright.
So I I tried to do a recordingand do all that and it took me

(07:38):
quite a bit of time to get itall together.
Then we got interrupted, had togo somewhere, so it never hit
the uh, the true state of anepisode.
Uh, it kind of got canned.
So we're here today.
There you go.
So on may 20th I actually gotto write down the earthquake

(07:59):
report and then I've got thereport today.
So we're kind of going tocombine those and see if
anything significant hashappened.
What do you think about that,sonny?

Sunny (08:12):
I think it's a long ways around just saying you got
numbers from the 20th and today.

Bruce (08:21):
Okay, I guess it was, but we tried.
How about that?
Yeah, we, we did, we got itrecorded, sort of never got an
end to it yeah, that would havebeen interesting if we would
have just uh, I didn't have timethat evening to upload it but

(08:42):
if we would have uploaded anon-ending podcast, it would
just shut off.
Because that's what happened wehit pause on the recording and
had to go do some things andnever got back to it, or that
would have been a bad episode.

Sunny (08:58):
I spared you that well before you do the earthquake
report, I just one more timewant to hope everybody has a
great Memorial Day and if you'relistening to this after that
day, which you probably willit'll come out on Memorial Day

(09:19):
holiday, which is Monday.
We hope you enjoy it.
We hope you've had a safeweekend and a great week
afterwards.
That's from the Sunny here onthe podcast.
Don't forget, it's Sunny.

Bruce (09:37):
All right, you just had to get a good word in and I
appreciate that that was veryuplifting and, yes, we hope it's
safe and a good holiday and thefollowing week is great also.
And so let's go to the report.
This is uh, in case you'venever listened to us before,
I'll bore you to death peoplethat have.

(09:57):
This is the earthquake report.
We go back seven days and lookat the numbers.
We look at all the earthquakemagnitude, every one of them.
Then we look at the 2.5 andover magnitude earthquakes for
the last seven days and then welook at the 4.5.
And in the past we've noticedkind of a pattern.

(10:25):
I guess you could say it's notalways accurate, but that the
earthquake total will increaseor go down.
If it increases, a lot of timesthe bigger numbers 6.0 and over
that's the ones we read offwill go down a little bit, and

(10:48):
the higher numbers are usuallyin the 2.5 and lower.
And if the low numbers go downall the magnitude numbers that
count goes down, then the 6.0and above that we name out, name
off them, usually go up.

(11:10):
So I don't know what that meansfor sure you know they say if
you get more little earthquakesit's relieving the tension for
the big ones, but it really actslike it's springing back to
shoot off, because a lot oftimes we have a lot of smaller
ones and then there'll be lessand then we'll have a lot of big

(11:32):
ones.
So I'm not sure if that worksthe way they think it does.
We like to keep track of it,though.
The Bible does say that there'llbe earthquakes in various
places, and it never does saythat that's be earthquakes in
various places.
It never does say that that'sthe Holy One, the Father's work.
I kind of tend to think thatit's man's work.

(11:53):
There's a lot of conspiraciessurrounding the fact that man
has been causing this.
By the way, they dig tunnelsand dig mines and stuff like

(12:15):
that and abuse the earth, andthere's a lot of conspiracies
that they have here.
They have technology orsomebody does according how you
believe and that technology cancause earthquakes.
So put all that together andwhat I'm saying is it's never
saying that I'm going to do thatthe father says it just says

(12:38):
that they're going to happen.
So it could be left to say thatthe people that saw the future
may have seen some of man'sdestruction upon this earth, not
the judgment of the father,which is coming.
But until then, we're going toreap the rewards of what we do,

(13:02):
and that's enough of that.
Uh yeah, First quick reportrewards of what we do, and
that's enough of that.
Uh yeah, earthquake report.
Okay, earthquake report.
We are going to do theearthquake report now.
So this is as of today, 5, 24May, the 24th, when we're

(13:24):
recording.

Sunny (13:25):
We're going to look back seven days and count all the
earthquakes and normally I lether sunny guess, but I'm just
going to read it off to you,okay?
Oh man, I want to guess?

Bruce (13:40):
All right, go ahead.
We didn't talk about it, so goahead.
All right, tell me what thelast report was.
Well, if we look at the lastreport which we did not get to

(14:01):
finish, it was 5-20 last Tuesdayand there was a total of 1,953.
And the time before that waslet me get my paper here 511,
and there was 1,923 earthquakes,all magnitudes.

(14:23):
That report so 1923, and 520was 1953.
So, sonny, what was today'stotal of all magnitudes?

Sunny (14:38):
um it went up, so I think it's going to go back down.
So I'm going to say 1900 andlower somewhere in there.

Bruce (14:49):
Okay, well, that was actually a good logical guess,
because normally it goes up andthen it goes back down.
But I got to tell you, sonny,it went up.

Sunny (15:02):
Oh no, that's bad in two ways one, that I didn't get it,
and two because that means morepeople probably had to suffer
yep, that's true in both cases.

Bruce (15:16):
Uh, when we have a more earthquakes, usually there's
more damage and more suffering,and we don't like to see that,
but that's what happened.
It was 1953 the last time andtoday the total was, when I
looked it up, 1983.

(15:38):
So I think that's very weirdhow that for the last three
reports it's ended in three.
Weird, weird, weird.
On 5-11, let me read them againas soon as I get the page back

(16:00):
On 5-11, it was 19-23 total, allreport 1-9-2-3.
On 5-20, it was 1-9-5-3.
19-53.
And today it was 1-9-8-3.
Now how weird is that?

(16:20):
Three days and three reportsall ending in three?
I don't know how to even takethat coincidence hey, bruce,
what do you got in your cup?
I just seen you take a sip oh,you caught me and had to call it
out, didn't you?
I have actually in my star warsmug.

(16:41):
I've already drunk my tea forthe day.
I actually threw a cup ofcoffee in there.
I don't drink much coffee, butyou know they say that it helps
with headaches because it opensup your arteries.
So I got to thinking one day,if it opens up your arteries, I
got medicine that's supposed todo that too.
So I've been drinking maybe acup of coffee sometime during

(17:08):
the day to help with thatprocess, hopefully.
I don't know, there's no reallygood studies on it, so I don't
know if it even makes adifference.
But I do know a lot of timeswhen you're having a migraine, a
little bit of caffeine helpsand they say that's because it
opens up the blood vessels andstuff in your brain which you

(17:37):
know, I just got rock, so itdon't really matter.

Sunny (17:38):
Oh boy, I thought it was concrete Right.

Bruce (17:42):
Well, it could be.
I've been called hard-headedseveral times in my life.

Sunny (17:50):
I can see it.

Bruce (17:52):
Okay, well, we won't go anywhere like that, but anyway,
to answer your question, sonny,it was a cup of coffee that I
was sipping on when you calledme out.

Sunny (18:03):
Ha Caught, you, didn't I?

Bruce (18:06):
Well, you always catch me , but you didn't have to tell
the whole world that I wassneaking a sip of coffee.

Sunny (18:13):
There you go.
You just took another one,folks.

Bruce (18:19):
Yep, all right.
So the total was 19.
Oh, let me get it up here 1,983.
And that was an uptick.
The total was 19,.
Oh, let me get it up here 1983.
And that was an uptick.
On the oil count and I don'tknow if you've caught me saying
this before, but the earthquakeamounts has increased over the

(18:40):
years I'm trying to find a wayto go back and look at the older
reports to give you kind of afigure so you know what's
happening.
I'm going to have to work onthat.
I'm off on some vacation timethis week and although I've got
a long list of things I want todo or need to do, one of the

(19:03):
things I've got on there is tryto find that report so I can
show us all what's happening andmaybe we'll have more of an
understanding.
But anyhow, 2.5 and overearthquakes today was 268.

(19:23):
And if we go back to lastTuesday which was not quite a
week, it was only four days itwas 254.
So it's up over that, which iskind of throwing that theory out
the door, because usually theydon't go up on that count.
It's the ones below that.

(19:44):
That increases this verysmaller earthquakes, but that
number increased also.
And on the 11th I'm turning mypage again.
On the 11th it was 310.
Now see there's, and if wereally go the way I normally do,

(20:05):
we go back not just four days,but go back to the last time I
reported on it.
So this was showing more whatwas going on.
So the numbers total on thisreport was lower, 1923, and the

(20:25):
2.5 was 310.
They were higher and this timethey were what, let me say again
268.
So yeah, they was quite a bithigher than this one, and the
4.5 this week was 90.
So so seven days from today, orseven previous days, the total

(20:50):
number of 4.5 and over was 90.
On Tuesday they counted backseven days and it was only 85.
And on 5-11, we counted backand it was 101.
511, we counted back, and itwas 101.

(21:11):
So there again, lower, total,higher numbers.
And it works out that way.
If I go back just a few days,it kind of throws it off about
seven days and you see thishappening.
It's almost like there's apattern there.
If you go back a lot more, itdon't always hold to that
pattern.
If you don't want to go back afew days and do the report, it's

(21:31):
not quite right.
So it seems like there's aseven day period that we're
cycling through and I'm going tokeep a closer eye on that and
see what happens.
I may start writing down areport in between and see what
that does.
But I know that the seven-dayreport, if you don't cycle back

(21:53):
a full seven days so like when Idid it Tuesday and now I'm
doing it, that's not a fullseven days, so it's kind of not
working out right, I think.

Sunny (22:06):
I don't know, but I think Don't think too much, you'll
get us all confused, bruce.

Bruce (22:13):
Well, that's very true.
I will get us all confused,including me and the 6.0 and
over.
I usually read them out loud soyou know where they're getting
hit, because that's the onesthat's really most dangerous and
they cause the most damage anda lot of loss of life or

(22:40):
injuries.
Last report, on 5.11, there wasonly one 6.0 and above and it
was in the southeast Pacific Rim, west of Africa.
And on Tuesday there was one,two, three, four major

(23:02):
earthquakes.
I call anything over 6.0 majorand today there was only three.
There was a 6.1 in the mcguireisland, which I was going to
look it up real quick.
Okay, it's west of the mcguireisland and the mcguire island,

(23:26):
if you're looking map, thatshows the united states, if you
look west and south, it all theway southwest, it shows up down
there.
It's almost directly south of Ithink that's australia.

(23:47):
Yeah, it's way down there, butthat was a 6.1.
And then the next one was a 6.2and it was in greece.
So greece has got hammeredagain.
And now this one occurred on521.

(24:09):
And I forgot to tell you whenthat 6.1 occurred.
Let me go back up.
It occurred.
Hello, my name is Bruce.
It occurred on 523.

(24:39):
Hello, my name is Bruce.
It's one of those islands thatis actually on one of those
fault lines and it happened on5-20.
So see, it would have been onthat other report.
I mean, look, oh, there it isPapua New Guinea 6.4.

(25:00):
So on this one it shows it as a6.55.
I don't think they can gettheir numbers right.
And the one in greece happenedalso and it was a 6.0.
And they had another one it wasa 6.2 yesterday.

(25:24):
So there, there we go.
That's the earthquake report.
I don't know if it made anysense to anybody, but one of the
things we do is we try topresent that every time.
We do a podcast episode, so youguys kind of get a feel of how
much and how many no, how manyearthquakes and how hard they're

(25:49):
hitting.
And there was a bunch of 5s and4s and many of the 5s were, you
know, like 5.8s, 5.7s which aregetting close to having the
same result as the sixes.
We're in a time when the earthis shaking and baking, guys, and

(26:14):
it's not a good thing.
There's been a prophecy set upthat well we're talking about
earthquakes, that I listened toit and there was going to be
three volcanic eruptions and Ithink two of them were on

(26:34):
islands and one of them was inthe middle of the ocean.
Maybe, if I remember correctlyDon't quote me on that, but
three volcanoes were going toerupt and it was going to cause
the oceans to rise, because oneof them was in the middle of the
sea and it was going to causeearthquakes.

Sunny (26:54):
Do you believe in prophecy, Bruce?
I'm not sure what to thinkabout those.

Bruce (27:02):
Well, sonny, it's according to where they're
coming from, from.
Let me talk a little bit aboutthat.
Um, there's all kinds of peopleon social media that's claiming
to have the word of god and I'mquoting that with my fingers,
you know, um and they'reclaiming that they've had
visions.

(27:22):
And I do believe the fatherYahuwah talks to people and
tells them things, and I'm notgoing to dismiss any of them
because I don't know, I'm notthere.
But I also understand there isan understanding there and it's

(27:45):
been said that we as a humanrace, or those controlling us,
have the power and technology toshoot high frequencies and low
frequencies into our brain tocause us to hear things and
visualize things.

(28:06):
So a lot of the visions ordreams I do truly believe are
being objected into us bycounterfeit means and maybe is a
way to, you know, scare people,get them stirred up, get them

(28:27):
worried, because when they'reworried about all this stuff and
they're, you know, easier tocontrol and manipulate you don't
stand firm when you're worriedabout stuff like this, and also
there is a belief that they haveto tell you right before

(28:50):
they're going to do something.
So, again, there are a lot ofthings that the bible predicts.
I'll put it that way.
But a lot of that is not toldto be by the father.
So you have to assume if thefather doesn't say I'm going to

(29:10):
do this, then he's saying it'sgoing to happen.
Then who's going to do it?
Probably mankind.
Now there is a point in theword that says my judgment and
when that happens, you're not.
You're not going to believe andbe able to stand against that.
You're going to know that thejudgment has come, but these

(29:36):
other things I have to have.
Uh, I think my thought processis a lot of it.
Man is doing Us.
Common people that listen tothis kind of podcast are.
You know, we just work everyday, go home, go to bed, get up,
do it again, and our focus ison that.

(29:59):
We're kind of running the ratrace, you know, through the
squares and the maze and wereally don't realize that there
is a world around us that is notas we perceive and it's not the
same as our world, and there'sa lot of things going on that

(30:22):
probably would scare us.
And there's a lot of thingsgoing on that probably would
scare us, and I believe thatpart of the world that I'm
talking about is manipulatingour part of the world and we are
so focused we have the blinderson, like they used to use on
horses, so they wouldn't seewhat was going on and scare them

(30:45):
.
They all they could see was infront of them, and I believe
that's where we are now.
These days we got so muchconcern and worry social media,
you know, news, oh gosh.
The news is so good atmanipulating your emotions, but
I think that's, that's what hat.

(31:05):
What is happening.
But back to the prophecy.
I don't remember if there's aman or woman or the exact
wording.
I just put it back in the backof my mind because I heard them
say that there was going to bethree volcanoes erupt and I
think they're going to be closeto the same time.

(31:26):
Probably one will erupt andit'll cause the other ones to go
, and they were going to be inthe ocean or on islands in the
ocean, which is going to cause amajor sea level change and a
lot of other earthquakes.

(31:48):
And why I mention that is it iscoming out in the news now that
there is supposedly some volcanoI think there's one off of the
Oregon coast.
Is that right?
I'll have to check on that butthat they're predicting is going
to erupt soon and it's beingsaid uh, it's according where

(32:13):
you hear it or what you listento, but it the scientists
predicted soon, by the end ofthis year, and now I'm hearing
by june the 5th.
So I don't know if somebodytook that scientific study and
ran with it and added their owndate, or some more scientists

(32:33):
come out and added a date.
If you're interested in thiskind of stuff, I I ask you go
research it for yourself, findout what's going on.
But anyhow, for this episode,I'm just telling you they have
said that there's going to be avolcano erupt soon, maybe the
june the 5th, if that story,part of that story, is true,

(32:58):
which makes me think of thatprophecy I heard.
So you know again, did somebodyknow that they was going to
start that volcano eruption,create that mess?
so they told somebody and thatperson told you know everybody

(33:18):
and they were, you know, warningus that it's getting ready to
happen, so they could laugh atus, I guess.
Or is that the Father sayingprepare, pray, repent.
I don't know.
Leave it to you guys to discuss.

Sunny (33:38):
All right, well, bummer man, let's get something good
going on.

Bruce (33:45):
All right.
Well, yeah, we try to do thispodcast and the episodes to be
uplifting, so if that's a downerto you, I'm sorry.
This is Memorial Day weekend.
If you're hearing thisafterwards, which you probably
will, I hope that you enjoy therest of the week.
Don't get bummed out.

(34:05):
Okay, Just be alert and wewatch.
This should segue into theweather.

Sunny (34:14):
Oh yeah, that's not a smooth segue, though I know what
you're going to talk about well, it's.

Bruce (34:23):
It's a segue, though, anyway.
Um, we, we watch, uh, ryan hally'all and uh, if you don't know
what I'm talking about, go onyoutube.
Look up ryan hall y'all and hedoes a podcast or not podcast, a
youtube, and it's live.

(34:44):
He does a weather report,usually every few days,
especially if something'sgetting ready to build up or
break.
He does a live and he'll stayon as long as they'll let him.
Usually, I think it's what 11hours, but he'll report on the

(35:08):
weather that's happening thelike tornadoes.
He doesn't winter too ifthere's winter, winter ice
storms and snow storms, but thistime of year, with all the
tornadoes and the badthunderstorms, he's on there a
lot.
So I want to give him a shoutout for being there, uh, being

(35:31):
part of it, and there's been alot of questions about some of
the cuts and it's shorting thenational weather service and
they're not doing good atgetting announcements out.
And even if they did, a lot ofpeople don't have their weather
radios and they're not alert tothat.

(35:53):
They're in bed.
A lot of these tornadoes hitwhen they're in bed and if
you're watching Ryan Hall y'allon YouTube during a storm and
your power goes out, chances areyou're not going to be able to
watch that unless you've got aphone there and the signal may
be gone, because that stormsystem has a tendency to

(36:17):
interrupt signals.
Either way, it's good to knowyou've got something heading
your way.
Either way, it's good to knowyou got something heading your
way.
He usually sees it long beforeit gets to your town because
he's watching it throughout thewhole country and he's called
out a few tornadoes heading topeople an hour or so before it

(36:42):
actually gets there, before itactually gets there, and then
when it actually hits, uh, he'scalled them out before that.
The national weather servicehas actually issued a warning.
So there you go, uh.
Why I'm saying that is it'sworth hooking up with him and
watching that, following him onYouTube.

(37:03):
Even if you don't normallywatch YouTube, I suggest you
follow him.
And that's all I got to sayabout that.

Sunny (37:12):
There you go again, all you got to say about it.
Where's that from?

Bruce (37:19):
I'm not going to tell you .

Sunny (37:21):
You don't remember the movie, do you?

Bruce (37:24):
No, as soon as you ask me that thought process that says
this remember the movie, do you?
No, as soon as you ask me thatthought process that says this
is the movie it just.
I see the guy sitting on thebench talking to the other
person and the name just poppedout of my head when you asked.

Sunny (37:42):
I'm glad I can do that.

Bruce (37:46):
That's funny not so funny when you're on this recording.
I guess I could stop it for aminute and think about it.
All right, it's forrest gump.
There you go.
Are you satisfied?

Sunny (38:02):
yeah, yeah, yeah, you've used that a couple different
times.

Bruce (38:07):
Yeah, I know I think it's been said before.
He ever did it in that movie.
That was kind of a commonphrase around that time when he
actually used it.
It wasn't a brand new phrase,but anyway, yeah, so we're going
to go into the weather now, ourlocal weather.

(38:30):
Oop, I hit my uh, hit mymicrophone cable.
I don't hope it wasn't too loudon your end, but we are talking
about you know weather and ifyou're living here with me,
listen to this, you know whatit's like.
It's been.

(38:51):
You know pretty common, but forpeople not living in this state
you may not know, but southernIllinois has got pretty common
weather with Missouri andKentucky, indiana, arkansas.
There are some differences, butI still like to report on it

(39:14):
and it changes hour to hoursometimes, but it's been really
crazy around the United StatesLast Friday.
Well, last week we had some,you know, decent days and then
it rained again, kind of backand forth.
However, friday it really hit.

(39:37):
There was a whole bunch of badthunderstorms, heavy-duty
tornadoes storms, heavy-dutytornadoes.

Sunny (39:48):
Oh yeah, we watched Ryan haul you all Friday night and we
got to see that.

Bruce (39:56):
That was bad.
Yeah, it was.
We got to watch the storms comeinto different.
It totally missed Mount Vernon.
I'm happy for that because wewas on the outskirts and I was
worried.
But uh it, we had earth,earthquakes, hello, tornadoes
and bad thunderstorms in uharkansas and uh oklahoma,

(40:23):
indiana, kentucky.
We had a bad tornado inkentucky, a bad one in st louis,
missouri, a bad one in marion,illinois, that night and uh it
was, it was bad.
I mean, there was all that fromtexas up.
A big wide swap really got hitand then a few days later got

(40:44):
hit again and uh swap really gothit.
And then a few days later itgot hit again and Colorado got
hit.
What Monday, I don't remember.
Now I need to start a journal onall these storms and weather
reports because it's gettingcrazy.
But Colorado had some bad ones,I think Kansas had some more

(41:07):
Tennessee, but Colorado had somebad ones and I think Kansas had
some more Tennessee.
I mean, just pretty well,mid-america has been hammered
all the way from Texas up andit's been wild.
And I ask you again to pray forall these towns and cities

(41:27):
that's been hammered by theseearthquakes and by these storms.
And let's not forget nobodymentions it anymore but Hawaii,
that just basically burned it tothe ground and you're not
hearing any of what's happenedto those people.
That, uh, it's just, it's justterrible.
And we got uh, the people upthere, carolina, north carolina,

(41:51):
uh, just all over the placethere's disaster and people
suffering.
We need to keep them in prayerand I again state if you don't
believe in prayer, sit down andthink positive about these
people.
Send positive thoughts to them,because it's important that we

(42:15):
think and talk, especially talkpositive, not negative.
Bring up the level ofpositiveness in this world.
All right, thank you.
All right, the weather it istoday 65 degrees and they're

(42:35):
saying partly cloudy, and it has64% humidity, 5-mile-an-hour
winds and the air quality is 38.
Five mile an hour winds and theair quality is 38.
Again, this is local for today,which you won't be hearing this
till later on.
But the ragweed pollen is stillmoderate or high.

(42:56):
The mold count is low and thetree pollen is low, but that
ragweed pollen, that's what'skilling me.
The last couple weeks, um, it'sbeen a moderate to high the
pollen count and it's yucky.
Uh, I'm hoping, uh, hoping itclears up a little bit.
I I do do a little bit betterthe last few days, so I'm

(43:23):
thinking it's getting better.
But they're saying for the daychance of rain and 61% today,
and Sunday 88% and Monday 84%.
And then wait a minute Tuesdaythey're saying 91% here in the

(43:43):
local area of southern Illinois.
Isn't that great?
Rain, rain, rain, fun, fun, funyep, fun, fun, fun.
So tell us about phoenix,arizona, bruce all right,
phoenix, arizona, is this cityand state that I picked to

(44:06):
compare our weather to them,because they have a little bit
of different air.
It's different, that's all Igot to say.
Their humidity today, right now, is 16%, the wind is 8 miles an
hour and the air quality is 31,which is a good.

(44:28):
Ours is 38.
There's a little bit high, butI always said it's probably from
the dust.
Um, because they are uh on inthe desert area, I I will have
to pick.
Uh, I wonder if I can put threeon this report.
If I could, I'll try to picksomewhere in Europe or somewhere

(45:02):
totally different to describeit.
Our 10-day outlook here is notvery good.
Like I said, chance of rainpretty well up until Wednesday,
and then it's going to be partlycloudy, partly cloudy, and
Friday is going to be showers inthe morning again.
Now, next Saturday and Sundayis supposed to be sunny.

(45:23):
Now, anytime they give extendedoutlooks like that, it changes
almost daily, so don't holdanybody to that.
I'm just kind of giving you anidea.
But that's our local weather.
Folks, if you like SouthernIllinois' weather, come and
visit us.
If you don't like all this rainand pollen, stay away.

(45:45):
Oh, boy.
Yeah, that's a way to run themoff, isn't it?

Sunny (45:54):
Yeah, it is Big deal.
You're going to have to scaremore people better than that.

Bruce (46:03):
Well, truthfully, I'm not trying to scare anybody, I just
want them to know what they'regetting into.
I'd like to take a moment to doa shout out to, uh, real king
workers.
I'm going to be going onvacation this week, but I hope
you guys are going to still bethere doing the work.
So stay strong, stay hopeful,enjoy the days.

(46:27):
We appreciate you being there,being with us.
I, uh, I hope you have a goodweek.
And another shout out I'd liketo do is to the seven brood crew
.
They've got a bunch of newfaces up there and they're all
doing a good job and Iappreciate it every time I go in
there.
So thank you.
And one more shout out realquick is to the at&t crew here

(46:50):
in mount vernon.
Wife and I went in there andswitched our phones over because
we needed a better hot spot,and they treated us good.
It took several hours to getall that all of our phones and
things switched over and goingand I told them I was going to
shout them out, call them outfor the work they did.

(47:12):
Anytime somebody treats me good, I try to give them a little
bit of notice and a heads up anda thank you on the podcast
episode and I went in and askedtwo of them if I could use their
names.
It was a combined effort and Ididn't see the other people that
was there to help us again.

(47:36):
I didn't see him again so Icouldn't ask him if I could call
him out by name, but I did seethese two and they were the main
ones as ones that helped us.
So I would like to say hi tocaden, thank you for your help,
and sam, thank you for your help.
I appreciate.
Both of you have a great weekand I hope I don't see you very

(48:02):
much because that means we gotphone problems, but I hope to
see you again somewhere somehowoh, ain't you sweet I don't know
about that, but I still want tothank them.

Sunny (48:15):
People, persons well, we like to hear about the good news
and the good people well.

Bruce (48:23):
Well, I hope this episode and this podcast in a whole is
uplifting and people enjoy it,even if I don't make any sense
or have anything exciting totalk about.
A couple things, if you guyshave listened to the news or
watched it, did you see theMexican Navy ship that crashed

(48:46):
into the bridge?
What is up with all thesebridge crashes?
Uh, this was another one.
Apparently there was twosailors killed, um, and the last
report I seen, they didn't knowwhat.
What happened, what caused it?
I just think this is weird.
That's exactly what they sayevery time there's a bridge

(49:09):
crashed into it.
But, uh, another one happened.
And then did you know that 23and me was going to be sold?
Yep, regenerative or regeneron,a biotech company, they're
going to buy 23andme.

(49:31):
Now, if you don't know what23andme is or was, I guess I
should say, since they're beingsold, they do dna testing and
they have all that informationfrom those tests stored, locked
away, and there's a lot ofconcern about what's going to

(49:53):
happen.
Now Regeneron, that biotechcompany, are promising get that.
They are promising to keep yourdata, your DNA data, private.
Yeah, so it's a big corporationbuying them.
What do you think?
You think they're going to keepthat information private.

(50:13):
Hold those thoughts to yourself.
You know, I gave a shout-out tomy old work, yeah we all heard
you.
Well, I bring that up because Iwas talking to somebody else at
work.
I'm not going to mention nonames, but we were talking about

(50:33):
the planogram that was and thatwe were working on at the time.
They were working on a new one.
I was working on a new one anduh, yeah, we was talking about
planogram.
Now, if you don't know what aplan grammy is, you haven't
worked in retail any.
It is a plan that somebody inthe upper class of the company

(50:55):
has been paid to sit down on adesk and engineer a layout for
the merchandise.
So the merchandise goes hereand it's displayed like this and
this and this, and each shelfhas a certain number of
merchandise.
It's just a merchandise tool.
Well, we were discussing thatit's the bible of the companies.

(51:17):
I mean, all the companies usethem.
They call them different things, but it's the planogram or
blueprint of merchandising.
That's all it is.
And we were sitting talkingabout how it's the law and the
bible and don't, don't move anyof the planogram.

(51:38):
Do it exactly like it says,even though sometimes it don't
fit.
We comically were saying youknow what would be the sign for
the last days?
We know what it is.
Now all the planograms are notgoing to work.
They're going to fall apart.
Yep, that will be.
We know we're in the last days.
We come in and all theplanograms are messed up.

(52:01):
They won't work, they won't fitand nothing will work right.
It's the end, that's sure.
Yeah, there we go, guys, talkabout signs and times when your
planogram quits working.
It's over.

Sunny (52:18):
That's the end oh no, that's wow.
I don't know what to say aboutthat, bruce.

Bruce (52:26):
Well, I don't either, but it was more comical if you'd
been there.
We was talking about all thatand it was like, wow, we got to
laughing.
Anyway, I told them I was goingto use that.
