We're broadcasting live from our southern Illinois studio with our signature blend of weather reports, earthquake statistics, and delightfully chaotic conversation!
As storm clouds gather overhead, we compare our local weather (76 degrees with 67% humidity) with Phoenix, Arizona, and discover some surprising similarities between the Midwest and the desert Southwest. The conversation naturally drifts to recent tornado activity and the storm chasers who risk everything to capture nature's fury on camera – including one who came face-to-face with a tornado while others had their windshields shattered by massive hail.
Our weekly earthquake report reveals 2,281 total earthquakes worldwide over the past seven days (up from 2,150 last week), with the most significant being a 6.6 magnitude event in the Southern East Indian Ridge and a 6.5 near Fiji. Bruce and Sunny (who has mysteriously transformed from a duck into a frog) take turns guessing the weekly numbers before revealing the actual statistics.
The mood lightens considerably when Lily shares her joke ("What does a storm cloud wear under his raincoat? Thunderwear!") and walks us through her simple three-ingredient recipe for Easter-themed peanut butter cookies. Her enthusiasm for both baking and professional wrestling shines through as she excitedly announces her plans to attend WWE Backlash in St. Louis on May 10.
Just before signing off, Bruce drops a fascinating historical bombshell: humans have been chewing gum-like substances for nearly 10,000 years, with early versions made from birch tree pitch or tar mixed with ingredients like red fox, hazelnut, deer, and apple.

That's great.
You should text all yourfriends and tell them you're

audience going, but we probablywon't have much here today.
(02:30):
We're just getting started.
We've only done it one othertime here on Instagram, so you
know we've got to build up ouraudience on Instagram.
Sunny (02:46):
Oh, what are you doing?
You're trying to make peoplebelieve you got an audience.
Now I know better.
It's just me and you and lily.
That's it.
We're our own audience.
Bruce (02:59):
Okay, well, I don't know about that, but yeah, yeah.
Lily (03:07):
Yeah.
Bruce (03:09):
Anyhow, I'm glad everybody who showed up shows up
and, Lily, I'm glad to have youon the Instagram.
Whatever.
That is live audience.
That's what that is.
Yeah, and it's showing you'rethere and we're there and
everybody's there and we'regonna do a switcheroo here.
(03:32):
Oh, look at that.

it'll come up.
Bruce (03:44):
There it is.
It's live now anyhow I can seeit, it's a little duck thing yep
, all right, so we're going tokill that and we're going to go
to our outside camera and thatway they'll have something to
look at while we talk.
And you know, maybe the carswill go by and they'll get to
spot their own car.
But anyway, we are coming toyou from our studio and it

Sunny (04:16):
Oh.
Bruce (04:18):
Should show the outside here, but we're at our studio
here in southern Illinois Okay,the Midwest Mount Vernon,
outside of Mount Vernon, to beexact.
So I hope you don't plan ondoing any weird stuff to me for
doing that, but we're showing,we got good throughput, so
(04:39):
everything should be good.
This is a lot better set upthan we had before, because I
didn't want everybody to have todownload a special program just
to watch us live or hear uslive yeah so that's why we went
to instagram and we get enoughfollowers, we may switch to
facebook or tiktok tiktok.
(05:00):
I don't know how many followerswe have to have for tiktok.
I went live when I had 300, sowell I.
Lily (05:03):
I don't know how many followers we have to have for
TikTok.
I went live when I had 300, soWell, I probably don't have that
many.
But I can't go live until 2030now.
So why not?
Because I wasn't old enough?
Oh, because someone reported me, I guess.
Sunny (05:18):
Oh, that's a bummer.
Lily (05:23):
Okay, scoot, you can't get by with it.
Can lily, never, never.
Sunny (05:27):
can talk to me afterwards , I'll tell you a secret no, you
won't stop anywho.
Bruce (05:38):
Um, we are going to do the live like we normally do.
We're going to talk a littlebit about weather and then we're
going to talk a little bitabout, um, earthquakes,
earthquakes, and then we may,may talk a little bit more about
some other stuff while we'redoing this.
But yeah, we got someearthquake reporting to do and I
(06:04):
haven't checked on it this week, so I don't know if it's up
down crazy or if we had any badearthquakes.
They're not reportingearthquakes anymore.
I mean, if you're not watchingspecific news, you won't know if
we've had any earthquakes orany bad ones, especially.
Lily (06:23):
Yeah.
Bruce (06:30):
I'm texting like all my friends, so, oh, that's what
you're doing, you're textingyeah, yeah well, anyhow, yeah,
yeah, let's get on with theweather.
What do you say?
Lily (06:42):
yeah, the earthquakes are like the weather weather weather
, the weather weather I knowwhat the weather's doing.
Sunny (06:50):
It's getting ready to rain.
Bruce (06:52):
See, I know what the weather is uh, yeah, well, it
has clouded up, like the guy atthe gas station said a while ago
when lily and I stopped in, hesaid it's sunny one minute, rain
in the next.
You just never know what it'sgoing to do.
Lily (07:08):
Apparently, we're supposed to have orange rain, so I'm
looking at what orange rain is.
Bruce (07:14):
Alright.
Sorry for the aggressive typingover here You're attacking the
typing or the keyboard anyway.
Lily (07:25):
Orange rain refers to a weather warning indicating heavy
rainfall typically associatedwith a significant risk of
flooding and other severeweather impacts.
It's a part of a color-codedwarning system used to alert the
public about the intensity ofrainfall expected in a specific
area.
Oh.
Bruce (07:44):
Okay.
Lily (07:46):
And then apparently we're supposed to have red rain area,
oh Okay, and then apparentlywe're supposed to have red rain.
So I don't know what all thesecolors mean.
Bruce (07:52):
You know what.
I think I published that thing,but I don't know if it went out
.
Lily (07:59):
What.
Bruce (07:59):
I forgot to hit save.
I don't know if my post wentout from the Ugly Quacking Duck
podcast web page.
Anyway, it's 67% humidity today.
That doesn't sound good, doesit?
Lily (08:19):
No, because that's a sign that it's going to be a storm.
Because if it gets stickier andmore hotter outside, that means
that there's going to be astorm.
Because if it gets stickier andmore hotter outside, that means
that there's going to be a bigstorm or just a storm.
Bruce (08:29):
Yeah, it's warmed up quite a bit today.
According to my website thatI'm looking at, it's 74 degrees
right now, with a rain shower,and that's false because we have
no rain here in the MountVernon area and I'm going to
check my handy dandy thermostathere and see what it is here,
(08:51):

You could see the cracks, uh,in the camera as soon as it hit.
I mean, they was.
That hail was so big andpowerful that the road you could

I'm going to add some sprinklesto them to make it look like
Easter cookies.
Like, add some like things onit to make it look like Easter

Bruce (38:00):
Ooh, peanut butter cookies.
I like peanut butter cookies.
Lily (38:04):
So what you need is some peanut butter, like one cup of
peanut butter.
Sunny (38:08):
Can you put flies in it?
Lily (38:11):
If you adore flies and if you want to eat flies in your
cookies, then you can.
Sunny (38:15):
Okay, if you want to eat flies in your cookies, then you
can, okay, and I'll eat somepeanut butter cookies with fly.
Bruce (38:23):
All right, thanks for spoiling that cookie for me
there, sonny.
Lily (38:26):
All you need is peanut butter and one cup of peanut
butter, one cup of brown sugarand one large egg, and I don't
have a recipe in front of me.
Bruce (38:36):
Is there a difference between large eggs and small
eggs?
Lily (38:40):
The small egg has less yolk in it.
The large egg has more yolk init.
Bruce (38:44):
Oh, how about a duck egg?
Lily (38:47):
Ask Sonny that he used to be a duck.
Sunny (38:51):
Yeah, but I didn't lay eggs.
I'm a male.
Lily (38:55):
How come you've been holding that potion ever since
you've transformed into a frog?
Bruce (39:01):
I think he's scared to go transform to anything else.
Sunny (39:05):
I'm not scared.
Lily (39:08):
Imagine if he transforms this live.
Bruce (39:11):
We'll have to catch it on video.
Lily (39:13):
Yeah, we'll have to get it on video.
Bruce (39:14):
Yeah, we'll have to catch it on video.
Yeah, we'll have to catch it onvideo.
Lily (39:16):
I wonder what you said are you going to be a horse next?
Bruce (39:21):
I hope not.
The studio is not big enoughfor a horse anyway.
Lily (39:26):
So you and I don't have a recipe in front of me.
I memorized this recipe, soafter that, you're going to mix
it, and then you're going tograb a non nonstick parchment
paper and you're gonna mix it.
And then you're gonna grab anon nonstick parchment paper and
you're gonna, and then you'regonna want to sorry, I lost my
train of thought you're going towant to.
(39:47):
You know, you're gonna want tomix it.
That there you say that yeah,yes, you're gonna want to mix it
, and then you're gonna want tomix it.
Did I already?
say that, yeah, yes, you'regonna want to mix it.
And then you're gonna want tograb a non-stick parchment paper
and like a pan and put yourparchment paper down and then
roll it in your hands.
If the batter is too sticky,grab some olive oil and put it
(40:08):
on your hands, or any oil, it'sa little, you know, um gross, I
know, but it seriously helps andit won't harm your cookies,
because it's oil and it's goingto be good for your cookies.
And then after that, you'regoing to want to grab a fork and
just go squish it down, likestraight forward down, and then
you're going to turn it side andyou're going to squish down,
(40:29):
like that, and then you're gonnado it to all the other cookies
and you're gonna put it, preheatit for 350, and then you're
gonna put it, preheat it for 350, and then you're gonna want to
cook it for 10 minutes and youhave your cookies sounds like
it's time to eat so I will bemake making my easter cookies
tomorrow, and then grandpa andmama are plugging a feast on
(40:52):
some of them.
Bruce (40:57):
She just called you guys out and threw you out of the bus
.
Lily (41:00):
I really I mean anything that I make.
Like the other day I tried tomake it for the first time by
myself and I made like threebatches, four and a half batches
of cookies and I woke up thenext morning there were three
left on the plate.
Bruce (41:19):
Oh, they liked them, then that means you did a good job.
If they get to eat, that meansyou do a good job.
Lily (41:25):
Yeah, they turned out pretty good.
I mean, there's like no wrongway to make peanut butter
cookies, unless you don't do thefork.
Bruce (41:31):
If you don't do the fork, it's not going to turn out like
a cookie.
Yeah, mom used to make thoseand I remember them so well.
Lily (41:38):
Yeah, you can even add like a little bit of brown sugar
or sugar or powdered sugar ontop.
Powdered sugar is like a thingthat they put all over desserts,
apparently, like even on icecream.
Oh, did you hear that?
Bruce (41:54):
I heard that I think the storm is rolling in.
Guys, I think it's rolling in.
I think we're getting ready toget some rain.
Let's check the weather onemore time here you should change
the camera to the window okay,I can do that too and let me
check out.
Lily (42:11):
What is it?
Bruce (42:13):
oh, that's me, yeah, that's me uh well, it don't look
very dark through that camera,but it's facing north, so I bet
you over here northeast.
Yeah, I bet it's like dark overthere I need to get me a 360
(42:33):
degree camera and stick it upthere on my tower.
Lily (42:37):
The thing is, it's not windy, so and then bring it in
the house.
Bruce (42:40):
We can see all kinds of stuff.
Lily (42:41):
Don't mind that.
Oh yeah, you can see half atree.
The guy that came to cut thetree didn't cut it properly.
Bruce (42:48):
Yeah.
Lily (42:49):
Yeah.
Bruce (42:50):
There we go.
Yeah, it's not real dark northyet.
Lily (42:55):
Don't be telling everyone I'm a big back, okay, mom.
Bruce (43:02):
Okay.
Lily (43:05):
I mean, you always eat my cookies, though you always eat
my stuff.

Lily (43:13):
I know.
Thank you.
Bruce (43:15):

went through the earthquakes andwent through a lot of nonsense.
And that's what we do here onthe Ugly Quackin' Duck podcast.
Lily (43:30):
We are the most un you do.
You do, I don't do anythingsilly we're the most unserious
podcast, I think we're the themost awful podcast in the known
universe by that you mean themost funny, funny, awful,
(43:55):

Bruce (44:34):
Mm-hmm oh.
Lily (44:36):
So WrestleMania is this weekend, as you probably know.
I've been talking about it likenon-stop.
So after every WrestleManiathere's a backlash and it's
basically where, like peoplethat didn't win the match like,
so like let people that didn'twin the match, so let's just say
(44:57):
one person, and one person hada match and one other person had
a championship, and it'sWrestlemania and they're
fighting.
The person that doesn't, theperson that is fighting to get
the championship, doesn't win.
They're gonna have to, they'regonna want to rematch at
Backlash.
That's like basically what itworks.
So it's just like so you can'tsay it again yeah, yeah,
basically, but it's like matchesthat like have it's, like it's.
(45:23):
I don't know how to explain it,but it's pretty much just like
any normal event, just it's notlike the, the one you went to it
no, no that one has 30 peoplein the same ring.
Bruce (45:36):
Yeah.
Lily (45:37):

someone over the ring and theirfeet touch the ground, they're
out Of the Royal Rumble.

Lily (01:52):
So welcome aboard the live I gotta text mom tell her that
we're live uh, lily, uh, this isthe first time you've been on
instagram live.
Bruce (01:59):
We did the riverside, we did the pod pod bean this is the
first time I've been live withyou.
Lily (02:07):
I've been live on here a few times.
Bruce (02:08):
Yeah, yeah with me, though, and this complete setup,
so I appreciate you letting mecome over and get you in just
doing the live.
That's great.
You should text all yourfriends and tell them you're
live on my show, and that waymaybe we can get more of an
audience going, but we probablywon't have much here today.
(02:30):
We're just getting started.
We've only done it one othertime here on Instagram, so you
know we've got to build up ouraudience on Instagram.
Sunny (02:46):
Oh, what are you doing?
You're trying to make peoplebelieve you got an audience.
Now I know better.
It's just me and you and lily.
That's it.
We're our own audience.
Bruce (02:59):
Okay, well, I don't know about that, but yeah, yeah.
Lily (03:07):
Yeah.
Bruce (03:09):
Anyhow, I'm glad everybody who showed up shows up
and, Lily, I'm glad to have youon the Instagram.
Whatever.
That is live audience.
That's what that is.
Yeah, and it's showing you'rethere and we're there and
everybody's there and we'regonna do a switcheroo here.
(03:32):
Oh, look at that.
Can you see that I'm?
Oh, it'll come on in just aminute.
Lily (03:38):
I've changed scenes you've changed, I can't click on it,
it'll come up.
Bruce (03:44):
There it is.
It's live now anyhow I can seeit, it's a little duck thing yep
, all right, so we're going tokill that and we're going to go
to our outside camera and thatway they'll have something to
look at while we talk.
And you know, maybe the carswill go by and they'll get to
spot their own car.
But anyway, we are coming toyou from our studio and it
(04:07):
should have popped up there.
Lily did it.
Lily (04:11):
The picture.
Yeah, yeah, it popped up.
Bruce (04:14):
No, you're going to get a live here in just a minute.
Sunny (04:16):
Oh.
Bruce (04:18):
Should show the outside here, but we're at our studio
here in southern Illinois Okay,the Midwest Mount Vernon,
outside of Mount Vernon, to beexact.
So I hope you don't plan ondoing any weird stuff to me for
doing that, but we're showing,we got good throughput, so
(04:39):
everything should be good.
This is a lot better set upthan we had before, because I
didn't want everybody to have todownload a special program just
to watch us live or hear uslive yeah so that's why we went
to instagram and we get enoughfollowers, we may switch to
facebook or tiktok tiktok.
(05:00):
I don't know how many followerswe have to have for tiktok.
I went live when I had 300, sowell I.
Lily (05:03):
I don't know how many followers we have to have for
TikTok.
I went live when I had 300, soWell, I probably don't have that
many.
But I can't go live until 2030now.
So why not?
Because I wasn't old enough?
Oh, because someone reported me, I guess.
Sunny (05:18):
Oh, that's a bummer.
Lily (05:23):
Okay, scoot, you can't get by with it.
Can lily, never, never.
Sunny (05:27):
can talk to me afterwards , I'll tell you a secret no, you
won't stop anywho.
Bruce (05:38):
Um, we are going to do the live like we normally do.
We're going to talk a littlebit about weather and then we're
going to talk a little bitabout, um, earthquakes,
earthquakes, and then we may,may talk a little bit more about
some other stuff while we'redoing this.
But yeah, we got someearthquake reporting to do and I
(06:04):
haven't checked on it this week, so I don't know if it's up
down crazy or if we had any badearthquakes.
They're not reportingearthquakes anymore.
I mean, if you're not watchingspecific news, you won't know if
we've had any earthquakes orany bad ones, especially.
Lily (06:23):
Yeah.
Bruce (06:30):
I'm texting like all my friends, so, oh, that's what
you're doing, you're textingyeah, yeah well, anyhow, yeah,
yeah, let's get on with theweather.
What do you say?
Lily (06:42):
yeah, the earthquakes are like the weather weather weather
, the weather weather I knowwhat the weather's doing.
Sunny (06:50):
It's getting ready to rain.
Bruce (06:52):
See, I know what the weather is uh, yeah, well, it
has clouded up, like the guy atthe gas station said a while ago
when lily and I stopped in, hesaid it's sunny one minute, rain
in the next.
You just never know what it'sgoing to do.
Lily (07:08):
Apparently, we're supposed to have orange rain, so I'm
looking at what orange rain is.
Bruce (07:14):
Alright.
Sorry for the aggressive typingover here You're attacking the
typing or the keyboard anyway.
Lily (07:25):
Orange rain refers to a weather warning indicating heavy
rainfall typically associatedwith a significant risk of
flooding and other severeweather impacts.
It's a part of a color-codedwarning system used to alert the
public about the intensity ofrainfall expected in a specific
area.
Oh.
Bruce (07:44):
Okay.
Lily (07:46):
And then apparently we're supposed to have red rain area,
oh Okay, and then apparentlywe're supposed to have red rain.
So I don't know what all thesecolors mean.
Bruce (07:52):
You know what.
I think I published that thing,but I don't know if it went out
.
Lily (07:59):
What.
Bruce (07:59):
I forgot to hit save.
I don't know if my post wentout from the Ugly Quacking Duck
podcast web page.
Anyway, it's 67% humidity today.
That doesn't sound good, doesit?
Lily (08:19):
No, because that's a sign that it's going to be a storm.
Because if it gets stickier andmore hotter outside, that means
that there's going to be astorm.
Because if it gets stickier andmore hotter outside, that means
that there's going to be a bigstorm or just a storm.
Bruce (08:29):
Yeah, it's warmed up quite a bit today.
According to my website thatI'm looking at, it's 74 degrees
right now, with a rain shower,and that's false because we have
no rain here in the MountVernon area and I'm going to
check my handy dandy thermostathere and see what it is here,
(08:51):
because it's always differentthan the.
I've got 76 degrees and cloudy.
See, it's a little bitdifferent here locally.

Bruce (12:30):
It was cool, wasn't it it ?
Lily (12:31):

shouldn't rephrase it.
Bruce (12:35):
They didn't get their windshield blowed out, but they
got their windshield cracked andit wasn't cracked.
You could see the cracks, uh,in the camera as soon as it hit.
I mean, they was.
That hail was so big andpowerful that the road you could
actually see the, the roundhail in their camera, which is
(12:55):
very it's not common.
Yeah, to see that, because it'susually so small.
Lily (13:01):
Have I got audio?
Bruce (13:03):
You've got audio.
Lily (13:04):
No, that's what Mark Taylor said.
Bruce (13:07):
No, you do not have audio , sorry, typing only.
That's why I went to Instagram,so I could keep up with all the
gadgets.
Because it got rough, I forgotthis thing's touchscreen.

Okay, I'm going to go back tothe weather report.
Air I'm going to go back to theweather report.
Air quality is 61, which is notreally that good.

that come down so it just madethe cars yellowish, yucky
looking because of all thepollen.

Bruce (16:03):
Has any cars went by?

the same temperature right nowtoday.
Lily (16:54):

He's just pretending he knowssomething.
Everybody Don't pay attentionto him.
He's full of hot air, Okay.

alien.
You're an alien duck.
Bruce (17:28):

They had rated them 1 through100, and they had Serenity
(22:39):
listed and that was one of myfavorite movies.
There's been two differentserenities.
One of them's about a spaceshipand a pirate that rides on the
spaceship and his crew, andanother one I don't even know
what it was about, but I'm nottalking about that other one.
But I was talking about thatserenity movie and there was a.
(22:59):
It came out because they had aseries, oh, and it was really
probably one of my favoriteseries, and I couldn't remember
the name of it last week, so Ijotted it down after I got off
and we did.

You see what Admira said yeah,yeah, all right I'm telling cat
out of the bag.

Yeah, uh, anyway, the seriescalled firefly and that's a.
If you've never seen it, lookit up, watch it.
It ended kind of abruptly.
(23:45):
They wouldn't bring it back, sothey made this movie, I think,
to make up for it.
Lily (23:55):

this guy with the alien and noone believes him still.

Bruce (38:00):
Ooh, peanut butter cookies.
I like peanut butter cookies.
Lily (38:04):
So what you need is some peanut butter, like one cup of
peanut butter.
Sunny (38:08):

If you adore flies and if you want to eat flies in your
cookies, then you can.
Sunny (38:15):
Okay, if you want to eat flies in your cookies, then you
can, okay, and I'll eat somepeanut butter cookies with fly.
Bruce (38:23):
All right, thanks for spoiling that cookie for me
there, sonny.
Lily (38:26):
All you need is peanut butter and one cup of peanut
butter, one cup of brown sugarand one large egg, and I don't
have a recipe in front of me.
Bruce (38:36):
Is there a difference between large eggs and small
eggs?
Lily (38:40):
The small egg has less yolk in it.
The large egg has more yolk init.
Bruce (38:44):
Oh, how about a duck egg?
Lily (38:47):
Ask Sonny that he used to be a duck.
Sunny (38:51):
Yeah, but I didn't lay eggs.
I'm a male.
Lily (38:55):
How come you've been holding that potion ever since
you've transformed into a frog?
Bruce (39:01):
I think he's scared to go transform to anything else.
Sunny (39:05):
I'm not scared.
Lily (39:08):
Imagine if he transforms this live.
Bruce (39:11):
We'll have to catch it on video.
Lily (39:13):
Yeah, we'll have to get it on video.
Bruce (39:14):
Yeah, we'll have to catch it on video.
Yeah, we'll have to catch it onvideo.
Lily (39:16):
I wonder what you said are you going to be a horse next?
Bruce (39:21):
I hope not.
The studio is not big enoughfor a horse anyway.
Lily (39:26):
So you and I don't have a recipe in front of me.
I memorized this recipe, soafter that, you're going to mix
it, and then you're going tograb a non nonstick parchment
paper and you're gonna mix it.
And then you're gonna grab anon nonstick parchment paper and
you're gonna, and then you'regonna want to sorry, I lost my
train of thought you're going towant to.
(39:47):
You know, you're gonna want tomix it.
That there you say that yeah,yes, you're gonna want to mix it
, and then you're gonna want tomix it.
Did I already?
say that, yeah, yes, you'regonna want to mix it.
And then you're gonna want tograb a non-stick parchment paper
and like a pan and put yourparchment paper down and then
roll it in your hands.
If the batter is too sticky,grab some olive oil and put it
(40:08):
on your hands, or any oil, it'sa little, you know, um gross, I
know, but it seriously helps andit won't harm your cookies,
because it's oil and it's goingto be good for your cookies.
And then after that, you'regoing to want to grab a fork and
just go squish it down, likestraight forward down, and then
you're going to turn it side andyou're going to squish down,
(40:29):
like that, and then you're gonnado it to all the other cookies
and you're gonna put it, preheatit for 350, and then you're
gonna put it, preheat it for 350, and then you're gonna want to
cook it for 10 minutes and youhave your cookies sounds like
it's time to eat so I will bemake making my easter cookies
tomorrow, and then grandpa andmama are plugging a feast on
(40:52):
some of them.
Bruce (40:57):
She just called you guys out and threw you out of the bus
.
Lily (41:00):
I really I mean anything that I make.
Like the other day I tried tomake it for the first time by
myself and I made like threebatches, four and a half batches
of cookies and I woke up thenext morning there were three
left on the plate.
Bruce (41:19):
Oh, they liked them, then that means you did a good job.
If they get to eat, that meansyou do a good job.
Lily (41:25):
Yeah, they turned out pretty good.
I mean, there's like no wrongway to make peanut butter
cookies, unless you don't do thefork.
Bruce (41:31):
If you don't do the fork, it's not going to turn out like
a cookie.
Yeah, mom used to make thoseand I remember them so well.
Lily (41:38):
Yeah, you can even add like a little bit of brown sugar
or sugar or powdered sugar ontop.
Powdered sugar is like a thingthat they put all over desserts,
apparently, like even on icecream.
Oh, did you hear that?
Bruce (41:54):
I heard that I think the storm is rolling in.
Guys, I think it's rolling in.
I think we're getting ready toget some rain.
Let's check the weather onemore time here you should change
the camera to the window okay,I can do that too and let me
check out.
Lily (42:11):
What is it?
Bruce (42:13):
oh, that's me, yeah, that's me uh well, it don't look
very dark through that camera,but it's facing north, so I bet
you over here northeast.
Yeah, I bet it's like dark overthere I need to get me a 360
(42:33):
degree camera and stick it upthere on my tower.
Lily (42:37):
The thing is, it's not windy, so and then bring it in
the house.
Bruce (42:40):
We can see all kinds of stuff.
Lily (42:41):
Don't mind that.
Oh yeah, you can see half atree.
The guy that came to cut thetree didn't cut it properly.
Bruce (42:48):

Yeah, it's not real dark northyet.
Lily (42:55):

Bruce (43:02):
Okay.
Lily (43:05):
I mean, you always eat my cookies, though you always eat
my stuff.

a championship, and it'sWrestlemania and they're
fighting.
The person that doesn't, theperson that is fighting to get
the championship, doesn't win.
They're gonna have to, they'regonna want to rematch at
Backlash.

So it's just like so you can'tsay it again yeah, yeah,
basically, but it's like matchesthat like have it's, like it's.
(45:23):
I don't know how to explain it,but it's pretty much just like
any normal event, just it's notlike the, the one you went to it
