it's time what time is it?

Bruce: 0:13

it's time for the ugly quacking duck podcast and a brand new episode. Okay, folks, it is the Ugly Quackin' Duck Podcast. We're happy to have you aboard. I'm Bruce.

Sunny: 0:35

And I'm Sunny.

Bruce: 0:36

Yep, and we are glad to have you. We are recording the new episode. This is episode 111. 111. 111. However, you want to say that and we are coming to you from our what sunny from our midwest. Um studio, is that it close enough our midwest studio here in southern illinois, uh, located just a little bit outside of Mount Vernon, illinois, for anybody that cares.

Sunny: 1:11

I care, I'm here.

Bruce: 1:14

You are here and I'm glad to have you aboard.

Sunny: 1:18

Well, thank you, Bruce. It's kind of fun to be here. And what weekend is this being recorded on?

Bruce: 1:27

I'm glad you asked, sunny. It is being recorded on father's day weekend. Yay, it is a 6 15 or june the 15th, 2025. We are recording this, like I said, in our Midwest home studio and it is Father's Day weekend. This is the weekend that we supposedly honor our fathers, and I hope you guys are all doing that or have done that by the time you listen to this show, are all doing that or have done that by the time you listen to this show, um, but I want to really give a shout out and a blessing from one of our special fathers. Many of you know him as creator, um, I call him yahuwah and I want to thank him for just the opportunity to be here, to be able to record this podcast, and for being part of this historical time in our lives, even though it's not a very good time for a lot of people, and I again ask you to be positive and pray for the people in this world. It's not good.

Sunny: 2:52

Yeah, I've been listening to the news right along with you, Bruce, and I know you don't usually get political because you don't want to bring people down, but I think you ought to talk a little bit about it well, I kind of agree.

Bruce: 3:11

I don't like bringing up political stuff, I don't like being a downer. I mean, we need hope in this world and that's what my podcast strives to do, if nothing else, to get your mind off of what's happening in the world. But there's times when you can't ignore it. We can't stick our head in the sand, so to speak. So we may discuss a little bit of that kind of topic today, and if you don't want to listen to it, I guess you can fast forward it.

Bruce: 3:46

Go to our chapters, because we use chapter markers, or just ignore us and shut it off. It's your call. That's why we like doing these shows. We call them a podcast. They have episodes and chapters and we use a podcast 2.0 as much as possible. So if you don't have a podcast 2.0 player, get one so you can see our chapters and our transcripts and stuff like that.

Bruce: 4:15

But anyhow, back to father's day weekend. It is father's day weekend. It is also the weekend of Flag Day. Believe it or not, it is the day that was set aside to call it Flag Day, which is June the 14th, and it was actually adopted. Well, here let me get to my notes. It was first proposed in 1861 to rally the troops for the Union side of the American Civil War, but it was actually adopted on June the 14th. No, wait, a minute, I wrote that down wrong. Our flag was adopted on June the 14th 1777. In 1916, president Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation I proclaim I don't know if he really did that, but to designate June the 14th as Flag Day. So we are celebrating Flag Day on this weekend, or we have, by the time you listen to this, it's also the US Army's, or they celebrate their birthday on this date, july or June, not July, june the 14th. And believe it or not, are you ready for this?

Sunny: 5:47

Oh, tell me more, bruce, tell me more.

Bruce: 5:53

Thank you, Sonny.

Sunny: 5:55

I'm glad I can help.

Bruce: 5:59

Well, it is also President Donald J Trump's birthday on June the 14th, believe it or not. Now, that's kind of wild. I did not know that until the coming of this weekend and all the hula hoopla, hoopla that was going on about it. But he was born on July, not July. Why am I saying July? June the 14th, 1946. So we can actually call him an old coot also. He, he, he.

Sunny: 6:39

You better watch talking about him now. They'll be marching into your house.

Bruce: 6:54

Anyhow, talking about him now they'll be marching into your house. Anyhow, this weekend's been a busy weekend for everybody and I hope they had a safe weekend. It was also no king's march weekend and if you don't know what that's about, I'm not even going to go into it because you've got your head so deep in the sand you won't know what that's about. I'm not even going to go into it because you've got your head so deep in the sand you won't know anything's going on, so it won't do me any good to talk to you about it.

Bruce: 7:12

But anyway, that was also going on this weekend and I got up this morning early and checked the news and I guess there were some shootings. Um, we also had uh, I think it was minnesota had two representatives or two political officials that was shot and, uh, there's a lot of rumor going around what that's about, but it was definitely a political strike and, uh, they think they know who did it. So the world went crazy, our countries went crazy and life is not ever going to be the same, but we are here to bring a little bit of sanity.

Sunny: 7:57

Are you sure it's sanity?

Bruce: 7:59

Well, no, not really. We're here to bring something to this world and hope you get some enjoyment out of it. And we've got some new earthquake reports.

Sunny: 8:11

Yay, are we going to guess?

Bruce: 8:14

Well, I guess I can let you guess, but we've got so many numbers it would take a lot of time, so I don't know how we're going to do that.

Sunny: 8:24

Boo-hoo. Hey, tell me about my new mic oh, okay, yeah, that's a neat plan.

Bruce: 8:33

We have a microphone change again. Um, I did a little bit of trading, you know. I think you guys know if you remember, but I went through a few new bikes and I ended up with a samson q2u I think that's what it's called, I don't remember and a pod mic I was using. And I've still got some of my old mics too, but I like the PodMic. After I finally figured out how to adjust it, I really like it a lot, so I ended up trading for one. It's the newer model, it has the USB and the XLR on it, and my first PodMic by uh rode just had xlr. So I can use the uh new one with my computer if I wanted to. But I don't do much computer recording without going through my my mixer box, so I use xlr only for now. Anyhow, I traded for that. I've got it set up as my main mic and then I've set the other one up as a standby mic but also run it. So, um, right over there by guess who?

Sunny: 9:59

guess, who guess?

Bruce: 10:02

who right. Guess who? Oh yeah, it was Sonny. I put it over by Sonny.

Bruce: 10:09

So if you hear a difference in the audio quality the bass, the treble, being able to pick that out let me know. See, you know, I'm just kind of curious. I think it will be more clear. I hope it will be. There's not a lot of difference but that he was using that q2u and uh, it's just not quite as up to par, but these mics all work really good, especially for what I do.

Bruce: 10:45

I mean, I'm not a pro. It would be nice, though, one of these days you get one of those uh, road, uh, I think it's a road uh, mv7, maybe I don't know what. That's what all the professionals in the radio industry use for years or so, they say, and I wouldn't mind trying one of those out one of these days. But these are working good. Like I said, once I finally got them adjusted for my voice, uh did a lot of equalization. Once you get that set, I think they're pretty good mics. They pick up really good. I'm really pleased with them and I hope my audio hits your ear and you find it pleasant, even though I got a terrible voice, and that you will enjoy the podcast, because that's what it's all about. I mean, we want to put good audio out there because it's an audio podcast, and we want good material too that you might enjoy. But we just do it for fun.

Sunny: 11:58

Yeah, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.

Bruce: 12:06

Well, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. Well, fun, fun, fun. I think I say that too because we do like to have fun and we are having fun and we wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't having some fun. But we would really appreciate some conversation back to some input from our listeners. So, friends and family and we're going to call you friends unless you just turn out to be mean to us we expect some return emails, whatever it takes, some you know results. Give us your results.

Sunny: 12:57

Yee, results, results. Okay, Well, there we go, here we go. I'm really liking this mic. I like the way it sounds.

Bruce: 13:13

So can you tell the difference, sonny?

Sunny: 13:15

I think I can. Yeah, it articulates my voice better.

Bruce: 13:24

Oh boy, Big word there for you.

Sunny: 13:27

Hey, I'm very knowledgeable, you just don't know it. I keep it secret.

Bruce: 13:37

It's a well-hidden secret. I think if you're telling me you're smart, I never said that Okay okay, you never did. I'll take that back. You never said. You smart, maybe alec, look out. Okay, here we go. I'm looking, what am I? Oh?

Bruce: 13:59

gosh okay, yeah, so while we're talking about no king's march, I've I've not got to check out the news too much see what actually happened with all that, and the president made a great big parade with the armed forces and trying to show, you know, a little bit of support for our armed forces and what we have capable of, or there's been a lot of people, I think that, and the ice stuff that was going on in the towns, or I should say cities, actually brought out the no Kings March and I'm not sure if they accomplished what they wanted to.

Bruce: 14:54

Now I do. I want to say this, just to put it out there I do believe in protesting and speak in your mind, and I I really think it's bad when people are being, uh, corralled into corners and arrested because, just because they're doing that now I also know there's agitators that have been called in and they always are when there's protests, and they get amongst that and get people riled up and they cause destruction. Sometimes they hurt people and that's what they want to stop and I agree with that. So, um, I just hope you guys keep your heads on. If you do any more protesting over the course of days, weeks and years, there may come a time when that's not an option anymore, but let's cross that bridge when it comes. Okay, for now it's still an option to be what courteous, but yet letting people know how you stand. So if you're standing in front of vehicles and all the unnecessary stuff right now, then be aware that they're probably going to come down on you. All right, and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Sunny: 16:29

And I heard that bruce that's all you gotta say about that yeah, pretty good phrase, ain't it? Well, I don't know.

Bruce: 16:42

Well, let's uh jump into a little bit of weather real quick. Not much, I'm not going to cover very much. We have had rain and the heat has come. It is a warming way up. The humidities went way up. You can tell it's getting into june. Uh, somebody flipped the switch, I think, but it looks like hot's here to stay. However, uh, the sun was out a few days and then we went back to getting rain, which made it more and more humid because the rain's not cooling it down like it was, uh, just a couple weeks ago. So here in southern illinois and most of the midwest, uh, we're still getting storms, but it's mostly rain. Around here, uh, there is some thunder, but no heavy winds, so it's kind of quieted down, which, but we're still getting a lot of rain, and the forecast the last I looked called for the next 10 days some kind of rain in out during that whole time.

Sunny: 18:00

So yuck yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. I kind of like the rain, but we won't go into that.

Bruce: 18:10

Bruce, or suicide Brooke oh, don't start that Brooke stuff oh come on brooke, brooke, brooke uh, it's bruce sure it is.

Sunny: 18:30

Yeah, you tell yourself that's what you want, if it makes you sleep oh boy, okay.

Bruce: 18:38

So anyway, the weather's been kind of weird Again. This, what do you call that? We're still in spring, I don't think summer's come upon us quite yet, but anyway, today it's right around 76 degrees, humidity's 74 degrees. For everybody that's here locally, you'll see what I mean. The air quality is 58, which is kind of moderate. We only have a two mile an hour wind. Winds really died down.

Bruce: 19:12

Um, now, if we switch over to phoenix arizona that's a the city and state I like to compare to because it's so much different right now it's 101 degrees and sunny in phoenix arizona. If there's anybody out there in arizona that likes to comment on my reports, let me know. But we're at 76, they're at 101 and they're sunny and we're cloudy. They got a nine percent humidity where we've got 74 and it'll probably rain again. It's cloudy here, guys. I look outside and it looks like it's probably, uh, equivalent to seven in the afternoon, 7 8 pm, because it's kind of got that dingy. Look to it. Uh, they're also having two mile an hour wind in phoenix arizona, same as us, but their air quality is at 29, which is good. Ours again is at 58, oh boy.

Bruce: 20:23

So we'll look at some quick details here in southern illinois, sunrise was at 5 31 am and sunset is at 8 21 pm. Uv index is at 4 out of 11 today, which is not bad, but that's because of the cloud cover. It's not letting all that in. Humidity again will be at 91%. That's tonight. Man, it's going to get nasty tonight. Moon rises at 11.54 pm, moon sets at 9. 54 pm, moon sets at 9 26 am and we're in the waning gibbous of the moon. That's what stage we're in.

Bruce: 21:11

Yeah, so today is supposed to have a little bit of clouds, maybe some scattered rain. Tomorrow it's the same deal scattered thunderstorms. Yay. I still haven't fixed my riding lawnmower, so I'm trying to push this in between rains and I'm not doing a good job. I'm really getting behind. So pray for me folks, send out goodwill. However you want to do it, we'll call it that. Oh boy. There's something about when I sit down to do a recording. I can be in here off and on all day, but there's something about sitting down and starting a recording and my throat wants to get scratchy and my nose wants to plug up and boy, oh boy.

Sunny: 22:06

Oh, you're just using that as an excuse. Bruce, you can't talk, you can't do a podcast, blah, blah, blah.

Bruce: 22:15

Wow, For a guy that likes to podcast. You sure are cutting me down.

Sunny: 22:22

Oh, it has nothing to do with the podcast. I just like giving you a hard time.

Bruce: 22:28

Well, thank you, you're such a bum. Hey you are too. I am. I'm the biggest bum of all.

Sunny: 22:41

I think you had a malfunction.

Bruce: 22:44

I think I did, but it's done did.

Sunny: 22:48

Done did Hee hee, that's funny.

Bruce: 22:52

Okay, anyway, that's our local weather and our Phoenix Arizona comparison. Yay, we like doing that, just to give everybody a taste of what's going on, in case they're listening to this from other states, other countries or just wanting something different to think about. There you go. That's what that's for. Let's go into the earthquakes.

Sunny: 23:16

No, let's not go into the earthquakes.

Bruce: 23:20

Oh, you are so right, let's go into the earthquake report Now. If you are with us listening and you're able to pull up, go to our homepage. No, go to our website, theuglyquackingduckcom. Go to the page that is called called. Let me get my mouse over here so I can pull it up support our podcast. Click on that link. It's on the top of our page or on the left side. There's a list support our podcast.

Bruce: 24:01

You can read about our value for value thanking there on this podcast page. But I want you to scroll down to the very bottom and you'll see a printout that you can either print it out or you can download it and print it out later, however you want to do it. But if you want to get that print out before we start our report, just hit pause, go print it out and then you'll be ready. But what that's for is to match up the numbers as we do this report and that way we'll have some something in writing so you can follow along with us, be an exercise for you, and then you have this to look at so you can kind of compare what's going on oh, I see, it's a visual comparison you are right, as always.

Bruce: 25:05

I better not say that.

Sunny: 25:09

You just cut yourself off.

Bruce: 25:14

Oh, you're not nice, yeah, all right. So, yes, it's a visual comparison. So what we're going to do is we're going to go over the earthquakes. We do a seven-day report, and what we started doing last time because I had originally went back and looked at my numbers for the last three years of my reporting that I've been doing on the podcast and I didn't I I assumed I know what that means, don't quote anything, but I thought that we had been increasing in um numbers of earthquakes and I went back and looked in three years and we actually didn't show that. So I thought I'd go back and start looking up some years and see what we come up with. So I did that and I reported on that last week and I am going to add something to that now. Last week, which was 6-8, took us back from 6-8 to 6-1. I went over all that and went back that same seven days and then I thought, while I was doing the report last week, I'll just go back to 1999. So I did that and I have those numbers.

Bruce: 26:58

So if you want to get your, if you followed along last week, get your paper out, write down 6-8-1999 on the third date column. On the first column, third row, down where it says date, and write down here's what we had All magnitudes that year was 1,749, which was about normal for us right now, and then 2.5 magnitudes was 415. And then 4.5 and over was 84, which sounds very similar to what we're having this year. Now we had one 6.0 and over magnitude earthquake and it happened in Guatemala. It was actually a 6.3. Magnitude earthquake and it happened in Guatemala. It was actually a 6.3. So that was a pretty if you can call it an average year.

Sunny: 28:13

Kind of weird, though, wasn't it? Everything's weird about this. It doesn't go nothing normal or what you'd think would be normal.

Bruce: 28:27

You got that right. You got that very right, all right, so I also I made this sheet. So there's four different date sections and then next to them you can write down, you know, the magnitudes and then the 6.0s. Well, on the last one, we're going to do three years on each page, so 2025, 2019, and 1999. So what are we going to do with that fourth date range? Well, here's what we're going to do. I had an idea.

Sunny: 29:05

Oh, no An idea yeah an idea.

Bruce: 29:13

We're going to do a 30-day count. So go down there next to that last date line and write in there 30 days. And what we're going to do is we're going to go back from june 8th 30 days each year. So in that darkened column right above 30 days, move over to the first set of blocks, write 2025, which is the same column that all magnitudes are. If you look all the way up to the top, you're going to put 2025 in the the last three columns. There, or the last, you know the last darkened line. Next to it you're going to write 2019, and right next to that you're going to write 1999. So I'm going to give you a 30-day count all magnitudes for 2025, which is this month, back 30 days. So we started on 6-8, or that was the ending date. However, you want to put that and went all the way back, and the count for 2025 is 9,300. So write that below that year, 9,300, which, uh, I don't know if that's good or bad. But then we go over to 2019. Now, remember, we started this so we could go back and prove that they're getting worse and there's more of them. And when I went back the first time and started counting these, I was shocked at what I found out. So the 30 days for 2019 is 12,183. So that is higher by 3,000, or nearly 3,000, compared to this year. Now, you wouldn't figure that.

Bruce: 31:29

And then let's go over to 1999. The 30-day report for it was 8,653. So there you go. That's what we're going to start doing on each week. Um, to give a account. Uh, may not. I don't know if I'm going to do that every week or just wait and do it once a month, cause that's a 30 day report. So I may do it, uh, the first episode of the month every month, but I did it today and I did it for last week's reports, just to have a basis to look and see what it says. So, anyway, there we go, and, um, now we're going to do the 15th.

Sunny: 32:24

The 15th, you mean.

Bruce: 32:29

June the 15th. Yeah yeah, that's what I said.

Sunny: 32:33

Okay, if that's what you said, we will do it.

Bruce: 32:43

Can I guess? Yeah, you can guess, all right, okay, let's go to get your papers out, guys. If you've got it, stop it, pause it, print it out, get your pencil out, get ready, because we are going to do the seven-day report for June, the 15th 2025, today, and we're going to let Sonny guess. Sonny, last week it was, for all magnitudes, 2086. So what do you think? Did it go up? Did it go down?

Sunny: 33:21

2086. So what do you think? Did it go up, did it go down?

Bruce: 33:29

You're not going to worry me, all right. So did it go up or did it go down?

Sunny: 33:39

I told you what last week was? I'll repeat it 2086. All right, well, I think they went up, so what do you think about that?

Bruce: 33:49

Did I guess right? Oh, sonny Boo. Wow, you're not getting very good You're being. You were pretty good at guessing there for a few months. You actually was pretty darn close, almost on the nose.

Sunny: 34:09

I know I've lost my hoopla.

Bruce: 34:13

I think when you morphed the last time, you did something to your brain.

Sunny: 34:19

Hey now.

Bruce: 34:22

Well, something's wrong. You're not guessing like you used to.

Sunny: 34:26

Well, I think it's because we don't have Lily here and she inspired me.

Bruce: 34:33

Well, that could be. We need to get her back. She's not here most of the podcast and we need to have some people write in and say they missed her and we need her back and I'll show her those and maybe she'll make an effort to be part of our podcast. She's not going to school right now, so she has no excuse.

Sunny: 34:58

Let's do that on. Folks write in, tell her you want to see her. You can send a text. All you have to do is have a, a podcast player 2.0, and it applies. Has a little thing down there under our description. Says text us do that or email us at at the ugly quacking duck.

Bruce: 35:31

No, let me say this properly the ugly quacking duck at gmailcom.

Sunny: 35:36

All one word, no caps there you go, do it, it man Do it, man Do it.

Bruce: 35:44

What if it's a woman?

Sunny: 35:47

Do it woman, do it woman, Do it woman.

Bruce: 35:51

What if it's something else? Oh heck, just do it. Oh man, we're having some fun you did it again I know, I know I uh get snap happy.

Bruce: 36:11

Anyway, I'm sorry to say, sunny, that it actually went down this week. All magnitude count was 1990, so it went. So that probably means the other counts will go up a little bit. We'll look at it and see. But it's going to release some pressure. That's what they think, but I'm beginning to think it's building up pressure each time. It does that. So it was down quite a bit, does that? So it was, uh, down quite a bit.

Bruce: 36:57

The 2.5 magnitudes for this last week was 273, what was 353 last time, and on the 4.5 and over magnitudes it was 85 or it was 84 last time. So if you got your paper, write on the top date 6, 15, 25. That's the earthquake seven day report. It's right underneath that. Move over to the right one column where it says all magnitudes, write 1990, 1990. Two point that's the first column over after the earthquake seven-day report.

Bruce: 37:32

Go over one more to the right, 2.5. And over magnitudes right 273. And then one more column over to the right, right 4.5 magnitude, and it is right underneath that, 85, yeah, and then one more column over is our six and over report. So you write underneath that 6.0. We had one six and over, which was a 6.0, and it was in the corral islands I think that's how you say that k-u-r-i-l islands and it's uh. If you just take off to the uh from the west coast, from california, and go almost straight southwest and then over from Japan and go straight southeast, it kind of converges and it's right in there in the ocean. That's where the Corral Islands are. So what do you think about that Sunny?

Sunny: 38:43

I think there's too many numbers going on. I can't tell, but it looked like the numbers were down but the 4.5 were up, just one.

That's right. Um, it looks like the smaller ones, like the 2.5 below, was down quite a bit, because we only lost, uh, not even quite a hundred on the 2.5 and we gained one on the 80, the 4.5. So that tells me once again that where our number come from or our loss come from is the smaller one. So they're they're going to be building up this week and we'll see what happens next week. All right, so we're going to do some comparison now how we doing on time? Oh, we're going to do some comparison. Now, how are we doing on time? Oh, we're batting 1,000, sort of. So we're going to look at the 6-15-2019, the seven-day report. Are you ready, get ready to write this down? All magnitudes, 3,188. Now, that's compared to 1990, this week this year, and last week was 2086 this year. So, once again, 2019 had more earthquakes all magnitudes. For this seven-day period, now, the 2.5 magnitudes were 449. And then the 4.5 was 130. And I look back and we had last week, last week 2019, we had more earthquakes all magnitudes 3,754, compared to this time 3,188. We had 449 2.5s this week, last week in 2019. Now, when I say this week, it was 2019 and last week 2019. Hope you can follow along. It was 444 last week and it's 449 this week, and then the 4.5 is 130. And this last week, in 2019, it was 1,119. So we had an increase in the smaller earthquakes last week of the 2019 period. So the 6.0 and above was 6.1 in Tonga, the 6.4 in Chile and a 7.3 in the Comrades Islands 7.3, folks. I don't know if anybody remembers that from 2019, but we definitely had a big one.

Bruce: 42:21

And then let's move up to 1999. So what we're going to do is give the seven-day report for June, the 15th, seven days back. So the total was 1,382, 1,382. And that's why I gave you the go ahead and write that down 1,382. And then we'll go over to the next one, and it's 429. So the 2.5 and above was 429, and then the 4.5 and above was 91, and then we had one 6.0 and over magnitude earthquake and it was a 7.0 in Mexico. That's pretty big. Now I hope you're writing these down, the date, and then, as I read off the numbers each time, because what that's going to do is give you a visual sight so you can go back and study these and you can see what I'm trying to compare them to.

Bruce: 43:35

So let's go back and look at last week, seven days in 1999. So a year, that'd be same year period for both reports. So we had this time around we had 1382 and the last seven day report for 1999 was 1749. So it increased and 2.5 and over was 429 this time. The last seven day report was 415 in 1999 and the 4.5 was 91 this time period in 1999 and Last week in 1999 it was 84. So there you go, you have it. We set it.

Bruce: 44:43

Now let's do a 30-day report from this week For 615, 2025. If I go back 30 days, it was 9561. In 2019 it was 8,158. So 1999 and 25 seems to be very similar, but once again, 2019 seems to be big. So I may do this report, the 30-day report, one or two more times to see what it looks like, more times to see what it looks like. And then when I start, when I switch reports, or when I we switch months and go to july, I may just make that 30-day report one once a month, because that's a lot of numbers to try to track and everything.

Bruce: 45:45

But there you go, that's is seven day reports, earthquakes, and I'm gonna go back and look at our report, see if there's anything new happening right now doesn't look like it. Don't look like any major things have happened. Okay, there's a lot of. There's what they call swarms, um, happening in the quite a bit in alaska, uh, california a lot of swarms, that's what they call little earthquakes that are just all over the place and happening a lot and we're seeing a lot of that. It looks like Arkansas and places like that is having quite a few tenants. See, there's a lot of gossip about the faults giving way here soon. We can't get in all this rain. There's a good chance that that's going to wait down the ground and some earthquakes are going to happen. We'll have to wait and see, but that's what's going on right now. So if we consider what I've noticed in the past when I do a seven-day report, is that the number of earthquakes go down, but we have bigger earthquakes on top, like 6.0s and the 4.5s and the 4.5s, and when the earthquakes go, all of them, the magnitudes go up. They're all magnitude that count goes up, then them other ones, the higher end ones, go down. So that means there's more going on. So I'm wondering if we won't see that same pattern with these totals throughout the 30-day report throughout the other years. We'll have to watch it and see what it does.

Bruce: 47:54

Anyhow, I've kept you guys long enough. I don't have any more news to report. I didn't look any up. There's probably quite a bit going on, but I didn't want to keep everybody. This is a Father's Day weekend so I don't want to stay here and record, but I do want one last thing I want to talk about. Over the end of the week, this last week, israeli attacked Iran. They called it a preemptive strike and I think they just preempted it because they was fearful that they might get a better hand up over them sometime or another, because they've been yelling for the last 40 years that they're building up nuclear weapons. But I don't want to get into the political scene. That's not what I'm here for. I just want you to know that they attacked Iran which if you've been listening to anything, you know that and Iran did counterstrikes and there's been a lot of destruction, people dying, and war is not good 's, not good guys. That's a hate mongering is all that is, and for some reason us humans can't get along. I know one person gets mad at the other person and whatever causes it, but it's happening over there in the middle east and it's israel's been um, I don't know what you want to call it devastating is a good word the guys the strip, the palestinians, and there's a lot, a lot of death and suffering over in that area. So I'm just telling you this, not to bring you down. You probably already know what's happening. You probably already have heard all the scuttlebutt about it and gossip and conspiracies, and I'm not getting into any of that. What I am going to say is I can guarantee you the Father is not pleased by our actions. It's not good. We are, we're under a microscope and it's up to us as a world to get it together. We can't blame the other guy, we can't hate the other one. It's up to us and I'm going to leave the show, the episode, close it out with the fact that if we don't love, if we don't care, it's not going to happen, because it's got to start with us, me, you. So please be careful what you Allow into your brain, into your soul. I hope you all have a happy Father's Day, or have had a happy Father's Day. I hope we all come out of this weekend decently. I'm sure there's not going to be a few people, or many people. Let me rephrase that there's going to be many people. That doesn't come out of this good. So I'm offering my prayers for all the people over there and all the suffering. And if you don't believe in prayer, that's fine, but at least you can stop for a moment and have positive thoughts and I know that's hard to do in this world, you're not practiced up on that but just stop for a minute and think one positive thing and then shoot that towards those people. One positive thing If it's just no pain or if it's just food, medicine, just one positive thought, one. That's all I'm asking for and send that over to people. Okay, if you don't want to pray, if you don't believe in the Yahuwah, fine, do that for me. Okay, all right, sonny, got anything you'd like to say?

Sunny: 52:44

Bruce: 52:50

Bruce: 52:58

Sunny: 53:01

Bruce: 53:07

Sunny: 53:11
