you are listening to the season 5, episode 6 of the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast. Hello everyone and welcome to the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast. So what's?
Sunny:happening. Sonny, hi Bruce, glad to hear you, glad to be here and I hope everybody's excited to hear our podcast.
Bruce:Well, that's a pretty good intro and I think they are. I hope they are. I'm happy to be here. I'm glad to be here. I don't remember what else you said.
Sunny:Well, that's all right. We just play it by ear.
Bruce:Yeah, we have been doing that, for sure.
Sunny:What do you think of this weather we're having? Well, I think it's lousy. I mean it's like 54 degrees, and that don't seem right. Let me look that up.
Bruce:You mean by let me look that up? You want me to look it up and tell you what it is, so you can tell our listeners. Is that right? Yeah that sounds right.
Sunny:Okay, that's exactly right. All right, all right. Bruce told me what the temperature is. It is actually ready 46 degrees outside. Why is that other thing showing 54?
Bruce:Well, that's because it's out in the sun, and even though we're getting very little sun today, we got a lot of overcast sky it shows higher temperature. Just because it's out there. That shows you how much the sun warms up the temperature warms up the earth. It makes a big difference.
Sunny:I'd say so 46, and it's actually 54. That makes 8 degrees difference, isn't that right?
Bruce:I believe that's right. You did a good job there. Well, you've been busy this week, haven't you, since I've been working all every day, all day, every day, yeah, something like that.
Sunny:Yeah, I've been keeping myself busy, but I've not been too busy.
Bruce:Does that make sense? No, but yes.
Sunny:So anything new happening with you? No, we've been just piddling around chasing the cats. You know there's more cats around here now, and I've been chasing those cats too, but there's actually four new cats.
Bruce:You want to tell them about it, bruce? All right, yeah, we do have four new kittens, little bitty kittens. We've got, uh, a tiger striped, a polka dotted one not really a tiger stripe, but a polka dotted one uh, black and white and then, um, mostly black with a little bit of white on it. As best I can tell, they're kind of stuck up in their little tub and you can't see them right now, but we'll get a good look at them eventually.
Sunny:Yeah, and then I get to chase them around. That's going to be fun.
Bruce:You know you're going to have to quit chasing them cats.
Sunny:No, I don't have to. I don't know who you're talking to, but I don't have to. I don't know who you're talking to, but I don't have to.
Bruce:All right, well, we'll see about that.
Sunny:Oh, you're going to see about it. I know about it.
Bruce:All right. Well, we'll see what happens later on. You know, I thought I would bring up one of our local businesses. It's a Seven Brew. I don't know if anybody from around here locally has heard of it If you're listening from other states or other countries, I'm not sure you've heard of it but it's a coffee shop and they serve all kinds of different coffee coffees, I should say.
Bruce:But I have been going there off and on ever since they've opened up and I don't know how long that's been. It's been a while now. But I've really got to enjoy the young people that work there. I like their attitudes and they talk and you can tell they're not just pretending to enjoy their self, they're actually enjoying their self, which makes for a good time. They're actually enjoying themselves, which makes for a good time. And I'm sure the last few months has not been really that pleasant because it's been cold and they have to go outside and wait on you. You drive through, it's not a, they don't stand inside to wait on you, they come outside. It's kind of unique. But I just wanted to give them a shout out to the people in mount vernon, illinois, the seven brew there and all the people there, and I just wanted to let you guys know that we appreciate what you do, and sometimes it may be a lot of work, but you do a good job and I thank you all for that.
Sunny:Wow, you haven't done that in a while. No, it's been almost a long forever. No, maybe.
Bruce:No, it's been a while. I haven't done it quite a while actually, but I wanted to started start bringing out a business, like every month or so, and uh, just, I didn't, didn't do a very good job of it and uh, it fell back into the crack somewhere, and but I was there this morning and they, they treated me really well and I thought, hey, it's time to bring another company out, and especially the workers. You know, the people that make the company happen is not the big shots, it's not the people that are paying the bills, but it's the people that make the money, that do the work, that do the labor, that are there every day making it happen. And that's the people I wanted to give a shout out to and say, hey, we know you're there, thank you.
Sunny:Okay, can I tell a joke now?
Bruce:Wow, you want to tell a joke at the end of that.
Sunny:Yeah, why not?
Bruce:All right, let's hear your joke. I thought I'd give you a little bit of artistic movement there and give you a heartbeat. What do you think?
Sunny:I'm not sure I like that, but it's already done. So are you ready for my joke? Here we go. So what's the difference between a poorly dressed man on a unicorn and a well-dressed man on a unicorn and a well-dressed man on a bicycle?
Bruce:Um, um, I don't know what is the difference.
Sunny:Really, you can't figure it out, oh my gosh. Alright, the difference is the attire.
Bruce:The attire. Oh my goodness, that took me a minute to figure out.
Sunny:Maybe we shouldn't let you tell jokes anymore either. Hey, that was a good one.
Bruce:I liked it. Yeah, you told it, you would like it. All right, there you go, there's your good hand clap. I hope you enjoyed telling that joke. I hope our audience enjoyed it.
Sunny:Ooh, just think, if they didn't, they may not tune in again. Oh, they'll come back. They like us.
Bruce:Well, I hope they do anyway. Yeah, I hope they do too. Man, good grief, grief. Let's don't talk about that stuff, though we believe we have faith and we are going to what go forth. Yay, uh, okay okay. Okay, okay.
Sunny:You um. That's my laugh. What are you doing?
Bruce:I just thought I'd sound like you for a minute.
Sunny:Well, your time's up.
Bruce:Stop it Okay.
Sunny:So, sonny, do you know what's coming up in a couple days, another day.
Bruce:No.
Sunny:That's a good answer, though, but no, that's what I was thinking.
Bruce:Today is Friday, if you happen to listen to this show when we put it out. We're going to try to put it out, probably tomorrow or Sunday, and the next following day or two is going to be what.
Sunny:Another day.
Bruce:No, you said that already.
Sunny:Well, I don't know what you want. Um, okay, let me guess Um another day.
Bruce:Ah, yeah, well, to you it probably all feels like just another day.
Sunny:Yeah, it's another day.
Bruce:Duh, all right, what I was thinking was. Monday is the 8th of April. You know what that means.
Sunny:Another day. Hey man, can't you get this through your thick head?
Bruce:No April. The 8th is the day of the eclipse, Remember.
Sunny:Oh yeah, I kind of remember you talking about that last episode.
Bruce:Remember you talking about that last episode? Yep, we're going to talk just a hair bit about it again. Just a reminder, because it's going to happen whether we like it or not. Yeah, it's going to come around really soon Around. Here locally southern Illinois, it looks like it's going to be cloudy.
Bruce:they're not for sure who knows for sure, but they're talking about it may be a cloudy and rainy, uh, probably in the afternoon. The last weather forecast that I've looked at, which means I think the eclipse is supposed to be around 2 o'clock, I think, and if it's cloudy in the afternoon, chances are we're going to miss that eclipse.
Sunny:Yay, no, not yay, but anyway well, it it's still going to be there yeah, it's still going to be there.
Bruce:Uh, it's going to happen, uh, whether we see it or not, and other people will see it even if we don't. But, um and most of us believe it or not probably has to work. How many of you out there has to work monday? Um, during the eclipse? And I bet most of you do. Now there are going to be quite a few people that's taking off and they're going to be going to some of the locations that have good weather. More than likely. Texas is one of those. That's probably why they're having so many emergency warnings, because there's going to be a lot of people, because there's going to be a lot of people, which that's going to put a lot of undue pressure on everybody that's going to be there on all their property, on the food industries where they're going to stay.
Bruce:It's going to be a mess and that I think a lot of the concern I don't know how much traffic we're going to get here locally, um, a little bit farther south, is going to be a big mess because they're got a totality and the x marks the spot just south of us a little bit, so that's going to make for extreme measures. So I think all the warnings and preparations that's being put out there is mainly because of that, because they don't want anything bad happening during this time. And any time you've got that many people in one spot, there's a good chance something's going to happen. The accidents and all kinds of nonsense, the accidents and all kinds of nonsense there'll probably be quite a few people going around trying to rip off people and take advantage of them. I mean, that kind of stuff happens all the time.
Bruce:So while we're talking today, I just wanted to remind everybody that's coming up to prepare yourself for if you're traveling, um, be wise about it. If you're not traveling, if you don't have to work, try to watch it at home. If you're, if it's possible. If you do have to work, then you're just going to have to deal with going in preparing.
Sunny:Did you just stop the recording and go in the kitchen?
Bruce:You bet I did.
Sunny:And what do you have in that bowl?
Bruce:Oh, you mean this bowl with this white stuff in it. I went and got me some vanilla ice cream and it is good.
Sunny:Oh, I see how you are. You get to snack while we record and I have to suffer.
Bruce:Uh, you can go in there and get you some food too.
Sunny:You know where it's at.
Bruce:Um, but then I am not in here. Uh-huh, that's right, that's not fair. Uh, it sounds fair to me, Okay Well um no, I'll just let them listen to you slobber all over the mic. Well, I don't think I'll be doing that, but I am eating some vanilla ice cream.
Sunny:folks, sorry, I just felt like a snack yeah, you did, and you went and got a snack. What kind of ice cream it is briars.
Bruce:Uh, natural vanilla, vanilla and it's good. All right, I'll put the bowl down for a couple more minutes and try to talk, and then I may take a break and eat some more ice cream. But, um, what we were talking about was the eclipse, and it's right around the corner and I hope everybody's prepared and, um, got their necessities bought. That might come in a shortage with all the businesses and stuff having all the extra people to deal with. Not sure that we're going to have much problem here, but, like in texas, oklahoma, uh, there's some big worries going on. Uh, well, we'll just have to see, won't we? But despite what is happening, I want everybody to take precautions, prepare, be safe and hopefully you get to enjoy it. It's not looking too good, though. The weatherman's saying we're going to have storms chances, but it could change between now and Monday. We'll have to wait and see. Between now and Monday, we'll have to wait and see. And as far as the biblical stories that go along with the eclipse, that's still to be determined. We can't know the future.
Bruce:Only God does so we'll just have to wait and see what happens. But if judgment is coming to this country because of the way we've lived and you know it and you don't change your direction, then the judgment that comes and befalls will be well deserved. So I'm just saying that, but we don't know what's going to happen. We're just going to have to wait and see.
Sunny:Hey, I've got a question about this eclipse.
Bruce:All right, I'm ready for the question.
Sunny:What happens when the sun goes out? Is it going to stay warm, going to get cold? What's going to happen?
Bruce:Hey, that's a good question. Um Ben's, I'm not remembering very well the last eclipse, and I don't think it was a, I don't think it was a total eclipse. I don't remember, but I've heard a few people that have talked about that and they said the temperature dropped quite a bit when the sun was total eclipsed for those few minutes. So I guess the answer is yes.
Sunny:Oh, okay, so I like that weather.
Bruce:Probably, but we'll have to wait and see Again, the jury's out, until it happens all right.
Bruce:Well, we'll wait and see yay I do know one thing that seems to happen quite a bit right around a eclipse, an earthquake happens a lot, and there's records of earthquakes happening right before, right after or several weeks after. But it was right around the eclipse. So that brings us into the earthquakes. And, uh, there was a big, big earthquake, 7.4 to be exact, um in taiwan. It was on 4.2, so a couple days, three days ago, and it's still having aftershocks left and right. There was one in Japan on 4.4. It was a 6.9 and it's still having aftermath. Math can't talk. And then there was a 6.8 in northern, uh, marina islands I'm not sure I pronounced that out in the ocean, so that's still having um, multi aftershocks. That one happened this morning at 11, I think, uh, utc time time. And then there was one, a smaller one, very small, it was a 4.8, but it was felt from new jersey into new york. What is strange about that earthquake is that area does not get a lot of earthquakes, so they've had an uptick here lately.
Sunny:You can take it as you want, but sounds kind of fishy. Well, I don't know about that, but there's a lot of earthquakes happening. Give us the numbers.
Bruce:All right, we will do that. Let's see, I have to cough a little bit here. I'm dealing with some allergies and that kind of thing, so my talking is very raspy, but you'll have to forgive me. So last time we did this, we did a I don't know if anybody even have caught up with my podcast but I did a short burst, uh, kind of like a bonus round, and it was, uh, I think, about 12 minutes long.
Bruce:But what I did was, uh, I'd been, you know, trying to do one every two weeks and I slipped that one in a week and then it was a short one. It was just to let you guys know what's happening and if, uh, what's happening and if, uh, you're interested, you know anything that's happening, uh, mainly I touched on the earthquakes and they had dropped down, uh, that week, but they went right back up. So anyway, if you haven't caught that quick burst, go back and listen to it. I'm going to try to do that every other week and then do my regular episodes every other week, so you'll get one every week, but you're only going to have one long one and then one short one. Anyhow, last time we did a earthquake response response there was 1870, 1870, earthquakes all sizes and this week, anybody want to guess.
Bruce:I do, I do oh, I feared you would. So what do you think we had? I've kind of gave it away already. What do you think we had? I've kind of gave it away already. What do you think?
Sunny:we had this week. Well, you said they went back up and you said they were 1870. 1,870. So I'm going to guess 1,900.
Bruce:Hey, wow, that was a good guess. That was real close. The total is 1,940 all magnitudes so far for the last seven days.
Sunny:Wow, I got real close. Close, which is not really good, because that means, I guess, how bad they are yeah, you got that right.
Bruce:It's not good, but that's the way they are. We can't do anything about it. So the 2.5 and over magnitude earthquakes last time was 239, this time they're 310. So they went up, went up quite a bit. And the 4.5 and over magnitude earthquakes they went up too. They went up 137. So normally, you know, when they go up, it's just the lower ones that go up, not the higher ones, but this time all of it went up, which is not a good sign. I hope they go back down, I hope they don't keep going up for a while, but who knows, maybe this eclipse is going to bring more earthquakes. You know what some people are saying, don't you Sunny?
Sunny:No, what are they saying? No, what are they saying?
Bruce:They're saying that that eclipse is not actually able to happen, the way that we are taught, you know, with the moon blocking the sun ray, because the sun and the moon's in the wrong positions to do that.
Sunny:Okay, I know Somebody's got their thumb up there blocking the sunshine.
Bruce:Well, since it's not happened yet, that's probably not right, but there are some guesses of what's happening, and the best one I've heard so far is it's Planet Nabooruuru I think that's how you say that. But another planet or another object in space is going to block the sun's light to earth, and if that's the case, then we're going to get a lot more what earthquakes? Because it's going to interfere with the magnetic pull of the sun on the earth.
Sunny:So hang on and we'll see what happens what am I supposed to hang on?
Bruce:to, I guess, your feathers.
Sunny:Oh, that's kind of hard for me to do, duh.
Bruce:Yeah, it is Well. As you guys remember, or hopefully you remember last weekend, seven days ago, almost to uh. Well, we got saturday and sunday to go and then we'll have seven days back. We had what go ahead, what we did have was Easter.
Bruce:We had Easter and we celebrated Easter and many of us celebrated the death and resurrection of Christ that Good Friday, which was on Friday, and then the Sunday morning morning we celebrated Easter. However, I want to talk to you about that whole subject and a little bit about what's coming up at the end of this month and what it really means, and whether that we are in the correct belief and fellowship of God the belief that many of us have that Christ died on Good Friday, which was, according to the Bible, the Passover night. He had dinner with his disciples in another home a borrowed home, if you want to call it that that the disciples had arranged by his lead and he went into that home and had dinner. Now they have an evening service. Uh, according to the bible, that they celebrate passover dinner in the evening and then up until the next evening is considered a day. So evening to next evening is a day. It's not like what we celebrate now. We celebrate a morning to evening. They celebrate evening to next evening. It's a little bit different. Or, in other words, the 24 hours is starting with the night, not during the day. So that makes a different view of how things work, and that's in the creation story. That's how they got that to begin with.
Bruce:Anyway, that took place during the last few hours of Jesus' death. The Christ. He had dinner, the last dinner, or what we call the, the last supper right, where we break the bread and we drink the juice. Or what he did was he broke the bread and he drunk the wine, but that's another thing, another story. And they did that and they celebrated the life of christ. And then he left there after having that and he left most of the disciples at one spot and he took a few of the close disciples farther in with him and they went in to pray and they prayed most of the night away and sometime during the night, if I understand the story right, they fell asleep. So we don't know what all was prayed, we just know the first few sentences of the prayer. And then it was. They woke up, jesus woke them up, then they went back to sleep as he started to pray again. So he did that, I think, three times.
Bruce:Sleep as he started to pray again, so he did that, I think, three times. What that prayer entailed was just to agonize about what was coming and the torture that would come. And then, when it was done, he went back, woke him up and they went back to the garden and that's where, and that's where judas um betrayed him. He actually betrayed him way before that he set it up, but that's when he uh brought the men to the garden. He kissed jesus and then uh on the cheek and they grabbed him at that time and took him in to to be tried and from that point on he went into pilot and pilot seen him and from that point he was uh given the chance to speak up and he wouldn't. He wouldn't uh, he, he spoke very little. And then he went to um, the people and pilot gave them the opportunity to have Barabbas sacrificed on the cross for Jesus Christ, and they chose the Christ, even though there was no actual hard evidence to persecute him to that point, to persecute him to that point. So Pilate then wiped his hands of the situation and basically appointed all the Jewish people as the reason for that sacrifice. In other words, he didn't take blame for it, he gave it back to the jews.
Bruce:So all that happened, starting with the passover. That's the main thing I wanted to tell the story about. The passover came and he went through that trial. Then they took him into another room and they scourged him, planted a crown upon him, made fun of him, and then they took him on to the place where they hung him or not hung him, or they crucified him on the cross. Now I'm not sure if that happened. You know the way the bible reads. It's hard to tell if it happened all in one day, because if that's the case, then it started in the evening. They come and got him in the middle of the night and then they brought him forward and judged him, took him to pilot sometime early in the middle of the night and then they brought him forward and judged him, took him to Pilate sometime early in the morning and then they took him to the cross before noon.
Bruce:Ever happened, whether that's the way it happened or it was the next morning when it happened, but it was during that weekend and that's what happened. And then, after he was crucified in the sixth hour, the bible says um, there was darkness that come upon the earth, uh, and there's even stories been told that the chineseed that time Of darkness, and that was Right. Before he passed, he gave up the ghost and he passed away At the ninth hour and then he was buried In the evening right before the, before the Sabbath day. So the Sabbath Day falls on the Friday night, I believe, and it is ended on a Saturday morning or Saturday day the following evening, however you want to put that, but it starts on the Friday and it ends on the Saturday the following day. The following day was a Sunday or the first day of the week. That's when christ arose.
Bruce:So what? I'm the whole story, the whole point of this. I may not have my exact numbers right or any of that stuff, but what I want you to understand is one is I don't think we're actually given the moment or the right opportunity to God saying this is the time that he died for our sins, was resurrected and went back to heaven. We are giving a totally different time to God and then we are worshiping that moment instead of the right moment, and it is so. Let me explain that a different way we are taking.
Bruce:But then you had the birthday party a month before his birthday or after, and you had it differently every year. That child would not know their true birthday, but the main thing would be, or would happen would nobody else? Nobody else would know the true birthday, why we celebrated it. It would be just a meaningless adventure that we would have because we set a certain time aside, but it really wasn't that time. If that makes sense, that's the way it appears to be happening in this country and maybe in the world.
Bruce:You've got to remember the fact that jesus was not an american, he was a jewish. Now, whether you believed he was a son of god or not is not the point. The point was he was a man of jewish, jewish descent, and he followed those guidelines, those rules, and if we are to observe his life, then we have to observe the life that he led, which was again a Jewish life. We are American, many of us are not even a jewish descent, many are. We're not going to get into that. But, um, the americans follow different kind of rules and because we're gentiles and uh, maybe that's all right you, because there wasn't a lot of laws, a lot of laws given to us to follow, because we are not.
Bruce:Jews, or I should say, israelites, let's go to that, saying we're not Israelites and we are not from that group and one day the Israelites are going to take back their authority and their power and God's going to fight for them, and the Gentiles us are going to fall behind or not be in the limelight like we are now, and that's going to happen probably pretty soon. But again, we should be following the worship of the Passover at the right time, not at the time that we have given it through the Catholic Church, which is not the accurate time. It's not the right time. So that's what's happening this year is a big gap in the time of the actual celebration that we have given Easter and Passover and the actual reality of that time, which is occurring in the end of April, april 18th, I think, 22nd, somewhere thereabouts, 22nd, somewhere thereabouts. It occurs, the feast occurs and then it finalizes, I think, around the 28th or 30th, it's according to what group that you are with and celebrating with. The days seem to be changing every every year, just like our calendar does, but in reality it doesn't, because if you go by the true calendar that they lived by, it was a 28 day day, 13 month calendar and it kept alongside the, or it kept record alongside the moon activity. So everything that happened with the moon had a place or a purpose in their calendar. And so the new moon I think it is um, I've read about it, I can't remember now, but there's a. I think it's a new moon, but it may be the full moon, but there is a moment that designates that time of that month and that's when the passover starts and that's when the Passover starts.
Bruce:We didn't do it that way. We started it on spring equinox, and that is another celebration. The Catholics, I think it was, started it that way. What they said was to bring in the group of non-believers so that they would worship together with the believers. That's not the way god works. God does not change his holidays or his celebrations or his timeline to adjust it for the loss. The loss has to adjust to god, so that that whole um theory or way of doing things has been misrepresented from the beginning of the Catholic Church and it is still being done and it is governing the way we do things.
Bruce:And I think that if this eclipse is getting ready to and it is going to bring judgment on this country, I think we need to start looking quickly at the way we do things and ask God for repentance. We need to shape up folks. Folks, I'm telling you that you cannot disobey the laws of God and expect to be forgiven. It don't work that way. We can't do it. And anyway, I'm not going to preach to you. I just want to bring this out that the Passover happens at a different time throughout history than we are led to believe that we are worshiping. The crucifixion happened at a different time, right after the Passover dinner and the judgment or the court hearing and then straight to the crucifixion. I'm sorry I can't talk tonight.
Bruce:I actually got quick story deter from my topic, but I had a. I went and stopped at town and got some gas and stuff and right in the middle of this project and I also got me a hot chocolate, which I don't drink coffee. I drink hot chocolate when I go to seven Brew and I got my wife some coffee and apparently either I or they mixed it up when they gave it to me, because it was both in the same cup and I drank about half of that cup when I got home, on the way home and at home, and I started having an allergic reaction to something in the coffee. I don't know if it was the cinnamon or what it was, but I had to stop because my uh, uh mouth, my tongue, was getting a little bit numb and I had to pause for a minute. And a little bit numb and I had to pause for a minute and it was. It was wild, very wild. But after I I gave it some time, got some water and quit drinking that stuff, uh, it calmed down. So I'm still fighting that a little bit, but, um, it's just kind of comical.
Bruce:Anyway, we're not perfect man. We have to deal with things just like everybody else. So pray for me. But anyway, back to the passover. The crucifixion, the resurrection happened when after three days. And, um, what people don't realize is we try, they try to make us, they want us to celebrate our church service on the first of the week, on sunday, which is the first day of the week, which everybody's accepted that, the churches have accepted that. But what you don't realize is you're not honoring the sabbath day. The sabbath day is the last day of the week. It's on a friday night is the way we celebrate the week. It's on a friday night and it's over on a Saturday evening. There's no other way. It's described that way in the Bible. They do it on the first day of the week. Now, because they said it's because when Jesus arose out of the grave. But what you don't understand is Christ even honored the Sabbath day by resting in the grave until after the Sabbath and then he arose. You just you've got to understand that he honored every bit of the Old Testament to bring forth the truth to us. To bring forth the truth to us.
Bruce:So I believe that what I'm describing is a part of why our churches are sick, why they are not feeling well, why they are not worship worshiping the true god in the true nature, because they're out of time, they're out of sync, they're out of rhythm, because they doing things not the way that they were taught to do by the first church. We have adopted what we wanted to do, not what the church originally did, and I'll let you guys look at that, look it up, do your investigation, understand. It may not be important to you which day it is. I mean, as long as we set aside a day, fine, if that's the way you believe, then do that. But you're going to do it different day every day, every year, for the rest of your life, without a true meaning besides somebody, somebody telling you it's right.
Bruce:Think about that for a while, all right, all right, all right, I'm not sure that I have pulled off a very intelligent conversation when it comes to that stuff. Um, I was interrupted very, very much, very many times with things going on here in the and, um, but we're using that car noise to shift gears and change subjects, all right. So I want to talk to you a little bit about value for value. We have, um, started using the value for value program and, like everything else, I have a hard, a hard time uh, describing things really well. I hope, uh, there's somebody out there that enjoys my bumbling around conversations. Uh, if they're wanting somebody that's intelligent uh, that's not, it's not me go somewhere else. But if you want to just uh listen to somebody bumble around, hey, come on aboard you say that again, I am.
Sunny:I stayed silent, but uh, I want to say that was really touching. Uh, bruce, that was touching and I enjoyed listening to that, but I'll be quiet and let you talk, okay.
Bruce:Alright, sounds good. You can crack a joke every now and then, I don't mind.
Sunny:Alright.
Bruce:I'll just talk about you. That's a pretty good joke out. Thanks, all right. Anyway, the value for value system uh, works a little bit different than what we're used to. We're used to advertising through the podcast, so we go out and get advertisers and they talk about things on our show and, uh, they pay us money to use our airwaves and without a lot of downloads or a lot of people listening, it's hard to get that going and it's very hard to get it going actually so what you're saying is you're worthless unless you got a lot of downloads.
Bruce:Well, yeah, pretty well, you can get more popular as time goes along, but you can't get any value out of anybody as far as advertising and stuff unless you have hit the. You know the hard market hits more downloads and made yourself valuable and them numbers are very, very arguable.
Bruce:If I could say that, I'm not sure the exact word I'm looking for, but, uh, they're not always right. In other other words, they're jacked up and held to other extreme measures to get what they want out of it. Anyway, the value for value doesn't do that. The value for value believes in hey, my podcast is worth something. It's important to some people. It don't have to be important to everybody, but there are people that enjoy my podcast. It's important to some people. Don't have to be important to everybody, but there are people that enjoy my podcast. They enjoy listening to me ramble on, talk about nonsense things, talk about sci-fi, talk about earthquakes, and there's other people that talk about other things that are liked just as much. And we have a value. And there are people out there that are listening to us. That value, that they value us and they have the opportunity to pay us in different ways. They don't have to give us financially any kind of money. They can help us with our production, any kind of money. They can help us with our production.
Bruce:I know there's a lot of podcasts that have people that will help them draw cartoons and characters for each show. They'll volunteer. They'll have contests to do it. There's people that will also pay a little bit of money. We have a wallet on the Internet that you can pay small bits of Bitcoin to us and it helps financially. But it also helps show that you love us, that you want to be part of our group. There's people that just share our stories, our time, and they will share it with their friends and they will help us get people to come and listen.
Bruce:There's any way that you can think of that. You want to be part of our show. You can be. You don't have to be an advertiser, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars with us, just do a little bit. But that's the value for value.
Bruce:You, if you find a value, if you find that you enjoy listening to us for one reason or another, then pay us back that value with some kind of value you have, and it doesn't always have to be the same, or you just don't have to be the same, it just can be anything. But we're using that method more. We're not probably going to try to do any advertising, because one is I probably won't be big enough to ever enjoy that kind of workaround and I'm not sure that I want to be part of that. I don't like having my podcast talk about one thing on the show and then, lo and behold, something else pops up for advertising, and a lot of companies do that. I don't like it. So we're not going to do that. We're going to stick to the message at hand and we can do the value for value through the Bitcoin, and if you're not utilizing that, if you're not using the 2.0 podcasting methodology.
Bruce:You need to. You need to look it up on the internet and find an app that does the 2.0. There's a lot of them out there and they're multiplying every day more and more. Each one has different opportunities that they give, but they all have something to give. That goes with the 2.0 program. Find and download one of those apps and see what it gives.
Bruce:If you enjoy again a podcast it don't have to be mine, it can be others and you find a value in it, get on there, get that application, get that app, download it and then get on there and get a lightning wallet and get some bitcoin and put in there so you can start giving that away to people. You can buy a little bit at a time and then you can start trickling it out. It's not about start trickling it out. It's not about it's not what you think. It's not about paying somebody just to listen to their um podcast or their music. They're going to start doing music this way. It's already start starting. It's already happening and I think it's the greatest thing ever, because what that means is I'm going to be able to play somebody's song on my podcast and I will be able to give them any money that comes in for that song on my podcast straight to them.
Bruce:It's a great opportunity and it's going to mean that we can work with artists and share what we get for them with them. I mean, you can't do that right now with the big money. People taking up all their money. They're not giving them writers and them song leaders, them credits and all that money. They're keeping it and giving them just a little bit. It's anyway. We won't get into that, but it's happening. So what we're going to do is, if you are part of the Lightning Wallet System, you can now I'm on there you can actually give us donations through the Lightning System and the Value for Value you can also, we still have our PayPal account.
Bruce:It's made through Better Opportunities and you can give us a donation through them. It can be a one-time donation or you can do it monthly. However you want to do it, you need to read up on the Value for Value system, the Lightning system and the different ways that you can boost people. You can give donations during the while the podcast is playing. There's there's a lot of opportunities and it's changing the game. It really is. It's a great opportunity and we hope that you guys will listen to this and learn about it and go try it out. But that's what I wanted to say for now about the value for value, and I'm going to also do something else. We have a new program that we're going to start doing to have fun with the people that are part of our group and what. What we're going to do is once a month probably. For now we're going to. We're going we're doing all this this time around because, um, we just wanted to do it this time, so it's going to make a little bit longer podcast than normal, but hey, enjoy it, right. But what we're going to do now is we're going to start a program that, if anybody, helps us to get started with any, any of our problems, our programs, our pictures. If you are part of our group and you elect to help us in one way or the other, we are going to we're going to goose you. That's what we're going goose you. So if, uh, the past we've had, like chris, and we've had mark and rachel and I think her name was anna um, help us to get going and we didn't do much. We sent them information and we sent them a little letter, but we, we didn't do anything on the line. And we've got Adam and we've got some other names of people that I wasn't sure if they wanted me to mention them. So we're going to, right now, not mention their actual name, but we're going to give them a little bit of recognition. So, for all you guys for being part of the show, for helping us out, for giving us finances, for giving us help during this time, we're going to give you a goose. So the Ugly Quacking Duck has goosed you. You've been goosed by the Ugly Quacking Duck has goosed you. You've been goosed by the Ugly Quacking Duck. All right, I like that and that's going to be our format from now on. Every time somebody writes in. Every time somebody helps us. Every time somebody financially gives, we're going to goose you helps us. Every time somebody financially gives, we're gonna goose you. We may grow and have to do things differently after a while, but right now we're just gonna goose you. So, guys, thank you very much for being part of the show over the years. I'm sorry it took us that long to give you a goose.
Bruce:All right, one last thing to do. Here we go hang on our song from last week or last episode. I should say um, guess what it was? This is the time when you guess. I haven't had anybody email me in yet.
Bruce:So it was american country music singer. He released the song as a single on april 1990 1990 and the art form the title was about an art form was body movement. This song was written by tony aradia, r a r a t a, and the song was performed and released by garth brooks, and the song was called the dance. And if you uh, don't know that song, there's something wrong, man, that is a very, very popular song, but anyway, I've picked that one because it was so, uh, it's a beautiful song. I will have a link to youtube. You can go listen to it and watch the video.
Bruce:Um, I really appreciate everybody uh, guessing, even though they didn't do any this time around. And, uh, I don't know man, my, uh, I don't know what happened. My headphones just quit. I guess I'll go. I'm still recording. I can see it on the on the gauge there. So, whatever happened, it'll come back. I probably hadn't plugged something.
Bruce:Anyhow, we are going to say goodbye to everybody. I'm not going to do a song this week I've run way too long and I'm not going to do another song until the next one. Maybe I'll do one a month. That way I don't have to eat up all the time. I appreciate everything everybody has done. Once again, I want to give you thanks for tuning in and being part of the show. I thank you for your time and I hope you enjoyed it. I hope I gave you something to think about when it comes to how we serve and worship the Lord, and if it's important to you, if it's not important to you, then okay and we'll just call that quits, right, we'll just see what that does. But anyway, this is the ugly quacking duck podcast.
Sunny:I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm achoo. No, that's not what I wanted to do. I'm sunny and I want to thank you all for being here and being part of this show. Thank you alright.
Bruce:Well, thank you again and I appreciate you guys all being here being part of the show. Have a good day, have a safe eclipse, and if you're still waiting to celebrate Easter, we only got a couple more weeks to go. If you're still waiting to celebrate Easter, we only got a couple more weeks to go. If you've already celebrated, and that's good enough for you, well, I'm glad you celebrated. Either way, give God the glory. 73,. God bless. This is the Ugly Quackin' Duck and I'm Bruce. Bye, bye.
Sunny:Bye, bye, bye.
