Unexpected Cooler Weather and Sweetwater's Support

Tune into this light-hearted blast episode of The Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast, where we bring you along for the ride as we visit family, celebrate a memorable birthday, and enjoy the cooler breeze brought by a hurricane. Between recounting our escapades and sharing updates on our yard work, we introduce a new segment — the earthquake report. Listen in as Sunny humorously tries his hand at guessing the week's total number of quakes, and laugh with us as we navigate through these playful moments.

We couldn’t let this episode go by without expressing our gratitude to Sweetwater for their outstanding customer service. Their swift replacement of a faulty microphone has brought a remarkable improvement to our audio quality, and we are truly thankful. As we wrap up this short but sweet 23rd installment, our "Blast Episode,"  of "Unexpected Cooler Weather and Sweetwater's Support", we send warm wishes to all our listeners. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to bringing you more fun and engaging content next week. Until then, 73, and may the father's blessings be with you!

Okay.

Speaker 1 5:52

All right, sonny, I'll tell you what. Let's uh look up the earthquake report and get it on board, and that way everybody know what's going on. I know there's been uh I think it's 7.1 a few days ago and I looked it over a few days ago. And then I'll have you tell a joke, sonny, and we'll let our audience go oh, you want me me tell a joke, yay. Don't get too excited. We need you alive when the time comes.

Speaker 2 6:30

Oh, you insinuating, I can't handle it.

Speaker 1 6:34

Speaker 2 6:37

All right, you better not, I'll go beat up a cat.

Speaker 1 6:42

Yeah, you better not. But okay, I'm going to pause this. Go get the earthquake report and I'll be right back. All right, sonny, are you ready? I got the report.

Speaker 2 6:54

Oh yeah, I'm ready to guess and I will win, because I have lily gone.

Speaker 1 7:02

she's not here oh yeah, kind of unfair, you know, but uh, all right, I got my report. I got it on paper. So the last time we did this was the weekend of July the 28th, so almost seven days ago. Actually, it was the 27th, I believe, when we had the podcast. Anywho, all right, we're going to go for it now. Let me get my paper up here. Are you ready?

Speaker 2 7:42

I am ready.

Speaker 1 7:44

All right, sunny. Let's show the listeners what you have and how good you can guess. Last week the total was 2,068. What is it the last seven days? What's the new total for all earthquakes? Sunny.

Speaker 2 8:06

All right, I will guess it. You're trying to hurry me up. That's not going to work.

Speaker 1 8:17

Okay, what's your answer? You had time.

Speaker 2 8:23

All right, I'm going to answer 2150. 2150. Yay, I think it went up again.

Speaker 1 8:33

All right, 2150. And total for the last seven days, all magnitudes 2206. 2206.

Speaker 2 8:46

Does that mean I got close?

Speaker 1 8:50

Uh yeah, it was 2,150, so you're just right under the number. You did good.

Speaker 2 8:58

Yay, I did good.

Speaker 1 9:02

All right, you did good, let's give them the rest of the totals. All right, you did good, let's give them the rest of the totals. 2.5 and plus last week was 258 total, this week it's 306. And the 4.5 and plus last week was 89. And this week it's 77. So we went up a little bit on the 2.5, down a little bit on the 4.5, although we had a 6.5 in Russia and a 7.1 in the Sea of Japan, just right outside the edge of Japan, they had a big one, rough one.

Speaker 2 9:48

Oh boy, I didn't hear anything about that, but I bet that was a rough one.

Speaker 1 9:54

Oh, I'm sure it was Bad, bad, bad. So we need to end this episode, which is a blast episode, so it's shorter. We need to end it with a funny note so nobody's depressed. But I tell you what you can do. You can pray for those people in russia and japan and I know you may have an enemy with russia, but we should pray for our enemies. So pray over those people. That's been in the attack, and I'll change the subject real quick. We got a fan mail, which is actually a text mail, from belleville, that's just west of us here, and they said good to hear, you can't wait to hear your new mic Volume level a little low for this episode, so somebody was paying attention and, yes, it was low last episode. Hopefully this episode will be a little bit better, though.

Speaker 2 11:01

All right, I want to tell a joke and then we can say goodbye. Okay, you guys ready. All you listeners, this one's for you. What do you call a pony with a cough?

Speaker 1 11:22

I don't know what do you call a pony with a cough?

Speaker 2 11:27
