Around The Bend We Go!

A robot gets sworn in as a monk, NASA supposedly drops 12,000 Artemis II photos that are strangely hard to track down, and scientists argue over how fast the universe is expanding. That’s the kind of headline mix we can’t ignore, so we talk it through the only way we know how: one topic at a time, with questions, a little humor, and a strong urge to separate facts from hype. 

Before the “crazy news,” we catch up on the real world stuff that shapes everything else: allergies, mowing season, and a full ham radio update from the backyard. Bruce breaks down an HF antenna rebuild attempt, why noise can ruin an otherwise decent SWR reading, and why an off center fed dipole can be a practical win when conditions get frustrating. We also nerd out on podcast audio, including SM58 mic tweaks, EQ adjustments, and a windscreen experiment aimed at a deeper, cleaner sound. 

Then we get to our earthquake report and weather check, share a new baseline method for tracking weekly seismic activity, and talk simple preparedness like keeping extra water and food on hand. We close with infrasound research that may explain paranormal experiences, reactions to UFO file releases, and concerns about data centers and the bigger AI infrastructure buildout, plus a reminder to stay prayerful and positive even when the news feels heavy. 

If any of this hits a nerve, listen through, share the episode with a friend, and leave us a review or message so we know what you want us to dig into next.

Welcome To The Flock

Sunny 0:00

Around the beard we go.

Capella 0:03

Welcome to the ugly quacking duck. We like to joke that we're the worst podcast in the unknown universe, but we're pretty sure that's just our charm. We're here to offer a different perspective on the things you see every day, moving away from the usual noise to bring a little more light, perspective, and an uplifting spirit into your routine. Life is plenty heavy as it is, so we're just here to help you find a reason to smile. Thanks for stopping by.

Bruce 0:27

Welcome everybody to the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast. It's time for a new episode.

Sunny 0:33

And we want to say hello, everyone. Glad to have you aboard.

Bruce 0:39

Yes, we are, Sunny. We are glad. I'm Bruce.

Sunny 0:43

And I'm Sunny.

Bruce 0:46

And we are the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast, and we are here once again, a little bit behind. It's been a couple weeks, and I apologize if anybody's been waiting. Um, we've just had a lot of small little occurrences that have come about that took us off our regular schedule. And then when we could, when we could record, my allergies were so bad that I was stopped up really bad. So we didn't record.

Sunny 1:18

Obviously, we didn't record because we didn't get an episode out.

Bruce 1:24

All right, Sunny. Well, it's good to hear you on, and I appreciate you being here.

Sunny 1:29

Well, Bruce, as always, I'm really glad to be here to be part of this podcast and to be part of the flock.

Bruce 1:41

And you just love saying that.

Sunny 1:43

I do. Hello, flock.

Bruce 1:45

Okay. Uh, let's just pause that for a minute. That's no more need of that. So wherever you're from, whatever time it is that you're listening to this, we welcome you and we hope you stay

Catching Up After The Break

Bruce 2:00

for the whole show, and we hope you come back. So tell your friends.

Sunny 2:05

Oh, yeah. Share us with other people.

Bruce 2:09

So, Sunny, what have you been up to uh the last few uh weeks? I can't believe we're saying that. It's been a pause there uh between episodes. Uh we try to keep it every week, but it just didn't work.

Sunny 2:24

Well, let's don't dwell on that, Bruce. We are here now, and that's what's important.

Bruce 2:30

You're right. You are right as usual.

Sunny 2:34

Will you say that one more time?

Bruce 2:37

No.

Sunny 2:38

Oh, come on.

Bruce 2:40

No. Oh boy, chicken. All right, anyhow. Um we do appreciate everybody being here, and what have you been up to, Sunny?

Sunny 2:54

Well, same thing. Chasing the cats around, and boy, they're getting wild.

Bruce 3:01

Yeah, they are. I have to agree. Tearing everything up in the house.

Sunny 3:06

Yeah, yeah, that's probably half your allergy problems.

Bruce 3:10

Well, it could be part of it. Plus, you know, we've been sleeping with the windows open, and there's a lot of pollen, uh, tree pollen, especially right now, this time of year, and uh, I guess uh there's other stuff growing, and plus I've been mowing a lot, and the dust that it's been kicking up, because believe it or not, it's rained here off and on several times, and it's still dry and dusty. That sun comes out and it just cooks that moisture off quickly. It's very hot sun. And uh I don't remember it being like that before. I mean, you could get out in the sunlight, you'd get a tan, a burn if you wasn't used to it. But now it's just like it's uh red hot. As soon as you get out in the sun, you can feel it sizzling.

Sunny 4:07

Oh, you're exaggerating. You're just being an old man talking about the good old days.

Bruce 4:15

No, I don't think so. I think it's uh if I was gonna guess, the atmosphere's probably a little bit thinner? Yeah, how do you know what I was gonna say?

Sunny 4:27

Well, I have been around for a while.

Bruce 4:31

Yeah, that's true. Uh very true.

Sunny 4:34

So, Bruce, what have you been up to?

Bruce 4:39

You just had to ask.

Sunny 4:40

Oh, yeah, we might as well share your boring life with everybody else.

Bruce 4:46

Well, I appreciate that vote of confidence. Uh let's see, Sunny, what have I been up to? You know already, but I'll go ahead and tell you the audience or flock. Um, we've been uh very busy mowing, of course. It's that time of year, and every time it rains, the grass grows about six foot. Well, it's not that bad, but boy, it feels like it. And you've got to get out there and mow. And I tell you what, I haven't had a uh I've got to wind some more weed-eating uh material, I don't know what they call it, but around some spools, so I can do some weed eating, but I've been using a push mower around, and it's getting away from me. I mean, I've got a stump out there that they didn't cut down when they're supposed to, and it's about what, four foot, not quite five, they left up, and it's got vines and stuff growing all over it this year. It's worse, and I've kept it cut down the past couple years, but it's got way ahead of me this year. I don't know what I'm gonna do with it.

Sunny 5:54

Oh, jump to the antenna. I know you're wanting to tell everybody.

Antenna Builds And Backyard Battles

Bruce 6:00

Uh okay. So what Sunny is talking about is I did some antenna work uh again this uh couple weeks. I actually um wanted to, I had a vertical ground-mounted HF vertical out in the backyard that I used for years, and uh it's got hit a couple times with bad storms, been it a little bit, but uh last year, I think it was last year, uh in the winter, the winter before last year, sorry, um, we had some deer, I think they were deer, I don't know, something run through my guy ropes and pulled the pulled the antenna, it's aluminum, uh, 27 some odd inches tall, bent it over badly. I mean, to the point where I had to just take it down. I cut out the warped pieces, and it left me with enough length to put up a 17 meter antenna, uh which is ground mounted, and it they just don't work that good for ground mount 17. So uh, but then again the wind come again, and I didn't have it guide off because it wasn't that tall. 17 meters is not that long. But uh it came another storm and uh bent it again, and I just got tired of fighting with it. The coax got uh over this last winter, got filled with water on the ends, corroded the ends, so I had to cut the ends and reattach some new uh fittings, and by the time I did all that and the um wire that was soldered into the coax connector on the antenna had busted loose a couple times, and this last time I just I didn't want to mess with it, so I took the whole thing down. So to make a long story sh longer, what I decided to do is I wanted to put up another vertical and I thought we'd put it up for 40 meters, and that way uh it would probably run um 14 megahertz or 20 meters, because that you know, that would be uh part of the band. That would be one of the harmonics that would uh probably run really well. So anyway, I went and got some PVC pipe. Um boy. Never really had done that before, and most people said it couldn't be done, so I thought, well, I'll try it anyway. And I ended up getting me I needed a 32 foot and eleven inches worth of 14 gauge wire to run up inside that PVC pipe. So you're talking 33 foot, basically. And uh I knew a a small quarter inch pipe would not ever stand up, so I had a good inch, inch and a half uh metal steel rod, or actually it's a pipe, drove down in the ground out there and it stands up 17 inches off of the ground. So I was gonna use it to put some PVC over for strength. Anyway, makes the story shorter. I got the pipe, assembled it, and I had to go with you know some smaller pipe at the top to go into because I wanted to fit each section inside of itself so it'd give it a little bit more strength. So I did that and got the length and uh picked it up and it was like a fishing pole. I mean it was just really, really flimsy. And then when I got tried to stand it up, it was just I got me a couple ladders and I leaned them up against the ladder and walked them into the pipe, the metal pipe, so I could slide them over there. And it was a nightmare. Have you ever took a piece of spaghetti, held it from the bottom, and tried to stand it up? It wasn't quite that bad because there's more strength to the PVC, but it was bad. And once I got it up, it would the wind was blowing that day just fierce. I I should have checked the the strength of the winds so I'd know, but it felt like it was coming straight out of the west, and it was it was hard, and it would come in a big gust, and that thing would just bend over, and it looked like it was gonna snap. And I had some ropes attached to a little bit below the midpoint, and I was gonna guide off, and I got there and watching that thing, and I thought, even if I guide it off, that top half is gonna play so bad. So what I did, I went in, I attached the coax, attached the grounding loot or wires, went in the house and tested it, and the SWR wasn't bad, but it was picking up noise so fierce. Now, the last one I had, it'd been a couple years since I had the full length up, so I don't know. I don't remember picking up that much noise. It was out in the backyard away from the house, but this one was picking up so much noise, I thought, well, this ain't gonna be worth it, because I won't be able to hear anybody. Uh so I um disassembled it, rolled up my 33 foot of wire and the connector, and put it in the basement. Thought I'd use it for later on. So I took what uh five foot and another section of uh ten foot and I put it back on the pipe, and I um I had a balan, which was a four to one balance, and I put it on um that pipe, because I attached to that is my off-center fed uh antenna that I had built years ago, had it down in the basement in a tub. I got it out, hung it from a tree in the backyard, and attached one end to the tower next to my house, and I put that balan, which is the middle of the off-center fed dipole. And if you don't know what that is, look it up. That way I won't have to bore you to death with it. But anyway, I put it up, and it's running about uh twenty-five foot on the ends, and in the middle it's uh eight foot maybe. Um, but it picks up really good, and there's hardly any noise. Um, it doesn't pick up as good as my array that I've got on that tower at 60 foot, um, not near as strong, but it don't have as much noise because that array is right next to the house, and it's got a little bit of a vertical part to it, which vertical right now seems to be the noise maker or the noise picker upper. I think it's picking up the ground wires off the poles, uh, if I was gonna guess. But anyway, long story longer. We worked on the antenna for uh probably a day and a half, well, a week putting all the pieces together, and then a day and a half to get it up, take it back down, and then just go back to my off-center fed dipole, which is uh gonna work uh eventually, maybe this fall. Um, because I don't look like I'm gonna get the brush cleaned out of around the trees. I'm gonna put a loop up. Been wanting to do that for years, and I'm shooting for that this fall. Um I'm gonna put a uh loop for eighty meters up, and we'll see what that does. It's gonna be mostly horizontal, it's gonna be in a delta configuration, so hopefully it'll be good on quiet noise, and it'll it's gonna be low, it's not gonna be real high, so it ought to be really good for here locally, and then I'll use the array for my skip. That sounds like a plan.

Sunny 14:56

Alright, now if there's any ha ham guys or radio enthusiast people, you know. There you are. You've heard it all from Bruce.

Bruce 15:10

Yeah, and everybody else just tuned out. They went, what is this about? Click? Oh well, uh, can't please everybody, can we? Again, we are welcoming you to the ugly quacking duck.

Mic Tweaks And Audio Experiments

Bruce 15:26

And by the way, does the mic sound any different?

Sunny 15:30

Oh yeah, I thought you were gonna totally forget your mic.

Bruce 15:35

Well, it's the same mic I've been running for quite a while now, the SM 58. By sure, the old good singing mic that most people have started with and they got it in their glove box or in their in their um box that they use for their singing. Yeah, I finally talked myself into getting one of those because I tried a bunch of different ones. But I've noticed that a lot of people said you could almost make them, well, you could make them almost sound like the SM7B, which is what a lot of podcasters and creators use. So I messed with the audio and I listened to the SM7 and what people said about it, and I worked on it, worked on it, and I got it pretty close, I have to say. Now I don't have an SM7B to compare. I just had to go by what people were saying, you know, about the darkness and the richness and blah, blah, blah, blah. But after all that, and I got it sounding pretty decent over the last few months, I've been using it. I did do one other thing. I ordered a wind screen for it, uh the foam windscreen, and I ordered the one that the seven uh SM7B comes with. Uh, it's a uh kind of a big round one, uh longer, goes over that longer uh microphone, and I ordered it, and I pushed it over the SM58, which has a ball for the mic, and then it leaves uh a good what inch and a half, two inches out away from that ball, so your voice is uh I have a exact place now to stick my mouth away from it, and I uh readjusted the uh equalizer on my mixer because I had to uh you know adjust a little bit. I've got a uh fat head uh on it, which gave me a little bit more input so I could turn the mixer down so I wasn't creating a lot of noise. And it's just small things that you probably won't even notice, but it's got a deeper, richer sound to it. And I think it cut out a lot of the the tongue noise that I get in there every now and then. I think it helped. What do you guys think? You folks can hear me? What do you think?

Sunny 18:23

I think that it sounds like a microphone, Bruce.

Bruce 18:29

Yeah, you're just mad because I didn't get you a new one.

Sunny 18:32

Yeah, you should have got me a new one. You got all them toys you're playing with, and I get the same old headset.

Bruce 18:40

Well, you know, that headset was built specifically for you. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to hear you on this podcast.

Sunny 18:50

I know, I know. It brought my voice out.

Bruce 18:55

Yes, it did, and it was a good thing too, because you wouldn't be able to do this.

Sunny 18:59

All right, you win.

Bruce 19:02

I know I do. Say it again. No. Yeah, say it again. Come on, you wanted me to say it for you, you say it for me.

Sunny 19:11

No.

Bruce 19:12

Alright, well, fair game, but uh there you go. That's basically what I've been doing the last few weeks, working on antennas, mowing grass, and uh redoing my mic. Uh I thought uh if I ever get much money in uh for any of my hobbies, uh I will maybe splurge and get one of those SM7Bs. But right now I am very pleased with this one, how it sounds, how it works, and uh hopefully this recording, this is the first recording I've done with the uh extras, and hopefully it'll sound good once I you know post it. And uh we'll see. There you go.

Sunny 20:03

Well, Bruce, I think we ought to do the earthquake report and add the last couple weeks in there since it's been a while. Let them know what's going on, and I want to know.

Earthquake Report With New Baselines

Bruce 20:17

Well, I agree with that, Sunny. So let's do the earthquake report. So the last episode that we did was on 429, and you that wasn't on a Friday. Friday was 5-1, May the 1st, and we usually go back and do that Friday's seven-day report, because it does change, and that's the time, you know, Fridays is usually when we try to do the report, uh, or at least do the numbers. That way we have a starting and stopping point. So going back to May the first and doing the seven-day backwards report, we had twenty-seven fifty-six, two thousand seven hundred and fifty-six all magnitude earthquakes. And of those, we had five hundred and forty-four that was two point five and over, which gave us nineteen point seven four percent of that twenty-seven fifty-six, and then the four point five and over was a hundred and thirteen, which gave us four point ten percent of that twenty-seven fifty-six, and then we only had one six or over earthquake to six point one, and it was in Japan, which was an eighty-eight, a point eighty eight percent of those numbers.

Sunny 21:54

So, what you're saying is it is a little bit high on all magnitude. Um a little bit high on the 2.5 and a little bit high on the 4.5.

Bruce 22:08

Uh very, very true. Um our numbers seem to be going up a little bit, but we're not getting any major, when I say major, anything over 6.0. There's, you know, 5.8s and 9s, but uh we don't count them, or I don't count them until they get to 6 or over, because that's devastating. Uh that's the major ones. And we've been having some sevens also. Moving on up to the next seven days, which we do on 5.8, May the 8th, 2026, and go back seven days from there, we had a total of 2924, 2,924 all-magnitude earthquakes for that week. We had 489 2.5 earthquakes and over, which gave us 16.72% of the 2924, which is a little bit um lower percentage than we'd had last week, but we had a higher number, and that's the percentage is lower because our all magnitude was higher. So anytime you know you got a higher baseline, it's going to make the percentages lower. Um then we had a 4.5 and over, we had 120, which was higher again, but the percentage is a little bit lower at 4.10%. And once again, we only had one 6.0 and over earthquake. This one was in the Philippines, which brought us to a 0.83%, because once again the 4.5 earthquakes was higher.

Sunny 24:02

You know, Bruce, maybe you ought to not read the percentages because that kind of throws everybody off, or it does me.

Bruce 24:10

Well, yeah, maybe it does because I'm I'm used to looking at on paper and I've rolled them down and I know, you know, what the main uh baseline is for that week. And the only thing I could do is set a base number and use that each week, but I don't know how to do that because like on the all magnitude, I I use 10,000, which we've went over that a couple times, but not very often. So that's why I use 10,000 for the baseline. But all the other numbers, I use that week's all magnitude number for the baseline, and that may that does make a change. So I'll have to contemplate that and see if I can come up with a better uh number system. Um I don't know. I'll try it. How about next week, which is gonna be the 15th, which I'm gonna read here in just a few minutes. Um I don't give you guys the percentage, but if you don't remember what last week's was, you s it won't matter. Uh everybody'll forget.

Sunny 25:19

All right, let's just try it and see what it does.

Bruce 25:22

All right. It'll slow it, it'll give it a little bit more uh speed, because I won't be reading the percentage. All right, let's do that.

Sunny 25:31

Well, Bruce decided to listen to me.

Bruce 25:34

I did, I did. I'd kind of pondered that in the past, but anyway, we took a break. Unbeknownst to you guys, but I'm telling you because there was a few minutes in there, and I went back and looked at my records and come up with a baseline. So like I said, for all magnitude, our baseline's 10,000, which makes it real easy to figure the the number or the percentage. For the 2.5 and over, um, I wasn't sure what to do, and I went back and looked, and we only went to a thousand, uh I think it was like uh almost twelve hundred one time. Um most of the time uh we hit the high numbers were eight, nine hundred. So I um decided to do the baseline for the two point five and over is a thousand. So if we hit a hundred percent or a hundred and ten percent or anything over that, you know it's bad then. And then the uh 4.5, I wasn't sure where where to put that baseline because the most that I had was 389, and that's a lot for 4.5 and over earthquakes. So I thought, well, we want to have it a little bit higher because if it's really shaking and the 4.5 and over is hitting hard, I mean that's that's quite possible, but we don't want to see that. So I set it at 500. So from now on, when I figure a percentage, and I will remind you as I do the reports, but our baseline for the all magnitude will be 10,000. For 2.5 and over, I'm gonna do 1,000, and then for the 4.5 and over, I'm gonna do 500, and uh we'll see how that flows and see if it makes any more sense. At least it'll give us a baseline that will be the same every report. And you know, we're making these numbers up and trying to fit them into some kind of graph, and that's what I'm doing. I'm just trying to give you something you can see and hear and make sense out of because the earthquakes are major, they're happening more often, um, just like the Bible says, and that's one of the reasons I follow the earthquakes, is just because that's what we're seeing in this world now. There you go. So we are recording this right now on 516-2026, which is Saturday, but we're gonna go back on 515, and we're gonna do that seven-day report from back to 5.8. So from 5.8 to 515, this is the seven-day report. We had 2,567 all-magnitude earthquakes, which are baseline's 10,000, which gave us a 25.67%. And then on our 2.5 and over earthquakes, there was 385. Uh, so it's down a little bit compared to before. Um, and then our baseline we're gonna do 1,000. So taking that by 1,000, we get a percentage of 38.5 percent, which is easy to figure again. And then for 4.5 and over, it went down to 79, which is a good good thing, man. But uh we took the percentage from a baseline of 500, which gave us a 15.8 percent. Now, uh from now on, you'll be able to compare them more evenly. Now, although the numbers went down, once again, the 6.0 and over went up, we had two of them. And we've seen this time and time again. Last year, we actually seen it happen a lot. Um not every time, but a lot, where the uh smaller earthquakes would go way high and uh they would be quite quite a bit of difference, but the six point oh and over earthquakes wasn't very many. But then when the earth the smaller earthquakes went down, the six point oh and over increased. Now this one wasn't as bad. We only had two, but compared to the last two weeks, which we only had one, you know, that's a double. I mean that's not good, guys. Not good. And if it continues that flow, last year was a major year. I really thought this year would be worse, comparing, you know, if I went back seven years, uh last year actually fit in that seven year number, and I was thinking this year would be worse, but as I go back and look, the the seven-year back wasn't as bad. So I don't know, maybe we'll just have to wait and see. But anyway, Japan had another one, it was a six point seven, and Indonesia had a six point two, which is not good. Now we had a lot of fives and five point sevens and five point fours, but we don't report those. Um, but anywhere there's major earthquakes, we need to keep those people in prayer. And maybe, you know, you live in someplace like California or Alaska that has them a lot, and you're accustomed to them, but that don't mean one day it's not gonna be a major one, so we need to continue prayer. And if you don't believe in prayer, positive thinking, positive words is very important. So let's remember that. All right, and I'm gonna give you the numbers for today, which I got on here and looked for the numbers today, and we had uh right now we've got one six point oh, and it is in um Antigua and Bambuda. I hope I said that right. And it looks like this one's out in the ocean, which a lot of those are the ones in Japan's right on the edge, which is great. That's a blessing. We um don't want them in the mainland, because that can be very disastrous for humans. That's the only one we showed up right now, so um we're doing good. 36 earthquakes altogether at 2.5 and over. All magnitudes today was only 209. But again, uh if you take that 209, and you multiply that for seven days, it comes out to fourteen sixty-three, which is kind of a low number, but there's no telling what's gonna happen. I'm just trying to point out that uh one day does not show what's gonna happen for the next seven. So there you are, folks. That is the seven-day report for the last two weeks. I hope you find something encouraging about that, and I hope uh I hope it shows something worthwhile.

Sunny 33:22

Yeah, it's kind of frustrating, ain't it, Bruce, when you're just spitting out numbers and you don't know if they're gonna accept them or they're gonna laugh or what they're gonna do with it.

Bruce 33:37

Well, that's very, very true. I yeah. I um I want um everybody to keep your eyes open and be aware. Um save some water back, some food back. You don't have to store up a bunch, but a little bit. Because you never know if the power's gonna go out or what's gonna happen. And uh if there's an earthquake near you, uh anyhow. I don't want to be a doomsday guy. I just want to keep us up to date, okay? Well,

Weather Check Across Four Locations

Bruce 34:12

let's talk a little bit about the weather. Today it's Saturday, and it is hot, a little bit humid today. Um the last few weeks it's been off and on nice. Windy, been very windy. We had some cool spells, and then it warmed back up, and yesterday was beautiful. Again, it was a little bit windy. And today I woke up, got the windows open. I've been sleeping with the windows open because it's been nice, and uh we are recording in our studio, and we are near Mount Vernon, if you want a location, and our temperature says 80 degrees outside. Um, our let me see what our weather app says, because it's always different. It's kind of weird how you know they've got different locations. But it is saying 78 degrees with uh chance of thunderstorms or a light rain today. We'll see what happens. But it's pretty humid. I don't know where you guys are located, but Sunny, do you wanna talk about one of the our locations?

Sunny 35:35

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to do Spokane, Washington.

Bruce 35:39

All right, take her away.

Sunny 35:42

All right, I am gonna talk about Spokane, Washington, and it is 61 degrees there. Can you believe that? Wait a minute. That's not right. Stop the presses.

Bruce 36:01

Yeah, that was not I don't even know what what location that was, but it wasn't the right one.

Sunny 36:08

All right, I've got the right one. Smoke in Washington. It is 51 degrees right now. Partly sunny. Shower is possible, thunderstorm is possible, it is 55 degrees or 55% humidity. It is a UV index of 5 out of 11. Um, we are looking at west-southwest wind at 12 miles an hour.

Bruce 36:43

All right, you kind of kind of lost your page and uh then you lost your place on the page. Very interesting, but you did a good job, Sunny.

Sunny 36:52

Well, thank you, Bruce. We're not professionals.

Bruce 36:55

No, we are definitely not. Oh, I hate to even think about that. No, we we're not making any money at doing this, so we're definitely not professionals. Um, but uh we do get uh help from time to time, and sometimes it's the kind of help we really need, but we're not gonna talk about that.

Sunny 37:16

All right, and we won't talk about it. What are you doing?

Bruce 37:20

Um, I'm gonna do Phoenix, Arizona. I like doing them. Phoenix, Arizona, you know, is just um so different than my weather here in this location. I like to include them on our weather. And uh, you know, it changes hourly everywhere. So when you're hearing this, it's gonna be weather's gonna be different, but it gives you something to kind of relate to. But anyhow, it's 99 degrees right now in Phoenix, Arizona. 99 degrees. Good grief. The humidity level is only 11%, which is really low. They're getting a wind from the southwest at 16 miles an hour. The UV index is at 10 out of 11. Yeah, that's right. 10 out of 11. Well, I see why you was having so much diff difficulty, Sunny. Um, it wasn't on the right portion of the page. Uh, it was on uh monthly uh numbers, and I clicked on today. That's why I couldn't find some of my stuff. So there we go. This ought to be better. So right now it is not 99 there. It's 87. Their high is supposed to be 99. So there you go. Humidity is at 13%, it's kind of low. Um, we have a dew point of 30% or 30 degrees. Their visibility is 10 miles, their air quality is 32, the UV index is at 6, and the wind's at south-southeast uh 9 miles an hour. So that's a huge difference. And the pressure uh is dropping, it's 29.74. So there you go. That says a lot better than before, and I'm gonna let Sunny go back and redo Spokane, Washington, because that didn't turn out very good.

Sunny 39:24

You bet it didn't. After you switch that, it's gonna make it a lot easier. Um, you're gonna have to control your buttons first.

Bruce 39:35

Well, I yeah, blame it on me.

Sunny 39:38

Well, I gotta throw somebody out of the bus, and since we are the only two in the studio, it's not gonna be me.

Bruce 39:50

Uh, that's true. It's probably not gonna be you. Okay, let's try this again. Go for it. Spoken Washington.

Sunny 39:58

Alright. It is right now 48 degrees. You're staying at a high of 51. That's a big difference. And right now, it is humanity is 60%, UV index is at 2, the air quality is at 29. Their air press or their uh hello, their pressure is dropping, is 29.99, visibility 10 miles an hour, and wait for it. 12 mile an hour wind southwest. There you go.

Bruce 40:41

Thank you, Sunny. You had a little bit better at coming up with those numbers, wasn't you?

Sunny 40:46

Oh, it helps if it's on the page where it's supposed to be.

Bruce 40:50

Yeah, that's my bad. I should have looked at what I clicked on, but there you go. That is Spokane, Washington via Sunny.

Sunny 41:01

Yeah, via Sunny. Good right, Bruce.

Bruce 41:05

All right, sorry about that. All right, Sunny, since we kind of got messed up and I already have done Phoenix, Arizona. Do you want to do Australian planes or Beijing, China?

Sunny 41:20

I want to do China.

Bruce 41:22

Alright, take her away.

Sunny 41:25

Alright, and I hope you click on the right button. You I need to control that computer. That's all there is to it. Alright. We are right now at 64 degrees, and it is very different. They have 96% humidity. Wow, that's high. Air quality, ready for this? 115, which is unhealthy for sensitive groups. The UV index is zero. That's probably because I got too much smog.

Bruce 42:06

Uh well, that's the wee name column, but that could be a part of it.

Sunny 42:10

Alright, and uh pressure is uh 29.98 falling. Now this is all in an inches. I know Bruce has a gauge that does it different, but this is inches, so it's 20.9, 29.98 inches, and it's falling. Visibility, you ready for this? 2.8 miles. So they're living in some very uncomfortable conditions. And then the wind, the wind is four miles an hour from the southeast. There you go, Bruce. I'm gonna turn it over to you. That's Beijing, China.

Bruce 42:59

All right, thank you, Sunny. And let's go to Australian Plains, and that is in Australia. Yes, right now it is 56 degrees. They have a chance of rain today. And the um wind is coming out of the west at four miles an hour. The humidity is 90% very humid. UV index is zero. That's probably because of all the humidity. The air quality is at 36, which is good, so they got good air quality. The pressure is rising, it's 30.01 inches. Visibility's eight miles. There you go again. Decent m view. And once again, it's fifty six degrees today, right now, and in the Australian plains, South Australia. What do you think about that, Sunny?

Sunny 43:58

I think that's a good job. And your mic sounds good, I have to say.

Bruce 44:03

Well you don't have to, but thank

oSuper El Nino And Mindset

Bruce 44:06

you. And while we're talking about the weather, uh there was an article that the live science dot com put on. The biggest El Nino event since the eighteen seventies. And Super El Nino is now the most likely scenario by the end of this year, and the humanitarian humanitarian cost could be huge.

Sunny 44:35

Oh, spit it out, Bruce.

Bruce 44:37

No, I'm not going to try. Um I was trying to read it, and I can't say it if I'm reading it. I don't know why. My mind gets glitched up.

Sunny 44:47

Uh, you're glitched up, all right. You're a little bit of a glitch yourself.

Bruce 44:52

Well, thank you. Uh but anyway, the whole article is remember we talked about this a few episodes back that we're gonna get a super El Nino, or that's what they're saying at the end of this year. That's gonna be uh, what is it, September through um nope, um October 2026 to February 2027. Um that's when it's gonna hit, and basically that's gonna be during the hurricane season. So look out. Now I'm you know, I'm gonna do a conspiracy here. If we all believe that's gonna happen, we worry about it, and there's a lot of people believe that you can make that happen. So I'm gonna challenge every one of you to believe that's not gonna take place, that we're gonna change the outcome by prayer, positive thinking, that the the powers to be cannot make us think it's gonna be bad this year, but it's gonna be a very easy going year. Believe it. All right, there you go.

Sunny 46:08

Bruce, I think it's dinner time.

Bruce 46:11

You are right. Let's take a break. We'll pause this, we'll come back and finish the recording after dinner.

Sunny 46:19

All right, we'll see you later.

Bruce 46:23

No, they will see us just right then. It's just gonna happen immediately. That's a good thing about recordings.

A Robot Monk In South Korea

Sunny 46:35

All right, Bruce, it's time for some crazy news. What kind of fun stuff you gonna tell us today?

Bruce 46:45

Well, Sunny, now that you mention it, when you guys think of a monk, what do you think of?

Sunny 46:56

A person that uh takes all their life and studies whatever religion they're in.

Bruce 47:08

Oh, that's pretty close. Um, but you said one thing that I wanted to catch people up on. You said a person, right?

Sunny 47:18

Yeah, yeah. So yeah.

Bruce 47:21

That's right. So everybody thinks about a person that dedicates their life to whatever religion they believe in at the time, right?

Sunny 47:33

Yeah, that's exactly what I picture.

Bruce 47:37

All right, and you picture that person usually in some kind of robe or um very little um as far as looks and uh vanities go, right?

Sunny 47:51

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bruce 47:53

All right, um, so I that's what I picture, but I run across the short on YouTube from ABC News. On May the 6th, there was a monk ceremony where they swore in monks in South Korea, and lo and behold, one of the monks was. Are you ready for this? Wait a minute.

Sunny 48:25

All right, Bruce, that was really uncalled for. Oh sure. Use me as an excuse.

Bruce 48:39

Anyhow, you get the message, that's the point, and we are talking about a monk that was a humanoid robot. Yes, that's right. A robot.

Sunny 48:52

A monk sworn in robot.

Bruce 48:57

Uh yeah, it really was. In this video short, uh this robot comes out, takes part in the monk swearing in ceremony, and then uh he goes through the vows and accepts that robot monk will dedicate his life to um being a monk. So there you go. It's a boot the humanoid robot becomes a beautiful monk in South Korea. Uh I'll I'll put it on my chapters. Hopefully, you can find the uh link.

Sunny 49:40

There seems to be a lot of robot stuff going on right now, Bruce. A lot.

Bruce 49:47

You are right. Didn't we watch uh a scene where uh ABC Newscaster went to I think it was China, wasn't it?

Sunny 49:56

Yeah, yeah, we seen that. And he they were showing off their newest robot, and they're saying it's gonna be in the house shortly, taking care of all our needs.

Bruce 50:10

Yeah. There was a movie about uh robots taking over, wasn't there?

Sunny 50:15

There's been several over the year, but I know the one you're talking about. Yeah, it was crazy.

Bruce 50:23

I believe the name of it was uh iRobot, and didn't it have Will Smith in it?

Sunny 50:30

I think you're right. Uh we'll have to do a search to find out, but it's really not that important.

Bruce 50:38

Well, the movie isn't, but the uh push is. I mean, they put out movies about that kind of thing, and now they're push pushing it on the news. Um, they're wanting everybody to get ready uh for our wonderful life coming through the robot takeover. There you go.

Sunny 51:02

Um, is it going to just be robots?

Bruce 51:05

Well, I'm glad you said that because I've got a news uh hang on. I'll tell you what, let's just drop that and we'll come back to it, okay? You know, there's so many uh news articles and stuff that's come out. Uh there's no way I'm gonna be able to do all of them.

How Fast Is The Universe Expanding

Bruce 51:27

But there's a a few that kind of piqued my interest. Uh on the Wall Street Journal, there was an article, and it the title is Scientists have finally figured it out. Yep, or that's not exactly right. Scientists have finally figured out how fast the universe is expanding. Now the subtitle, underneath that main title it says the most precious measurement of the expansion rate ever made suggests an unknown force may be affecting the universe. So with that said, I delve down a little bit farther into the article and here's what I come up with. An international gathering of experts last year in Switzerland confirmed that objects recede faster as they become more distant. Yeah, in other words, they spin faster and farther the farther they get away from center. That's just kind of a known law. Anyway, for instance, a galaxy three million light years away will move away from us by forty six miles per second. The scientists calculated a galaxy at twice that distance would be moving away at eight about ninety miles per second. That sounds like a lot. Look out, man, we are gonna blow apart. But then the next uh the next paragraph. The rate detailed recently in a study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics is the most precise ever calculated. It is also mind boggling small. If you took an empty space the size of a football field and it was expanding at the rate of our universe that our universe is, it would take more than one million years to expand by a single centimeter, said study author Carolyn Hung in Astrophysics at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. All right, I'm not sure how to take that because at one end of the spectrum they're telling us how fast per second, how many miles they're traveling away from us, but then this part of the article says it would take a million miles to expand a single centimeter.

Sunny 54:12

Um, I don't understand.

Bruce 54:16

Nor do I. I think uh I think it's just mind-blowing the way they throw these numbers out there and then expect everybody to figure it out. But I think what they're doing is just throwing a bunch of numbers and then people catch the big ones. Uh but anyway, the calculation has called into question a major scientific theory. It is about 10% faster than what we what the standard model of cosmology, essentially, our theory of how everything works in the universe says the rate should be. This means that there is probably something missing from the standard model or a force we don't fully understand. So they went from telling us all this numbers to tell us there's a force out there making it happen. And I don't I don't know, guys. I get this kind of stuff and I get a really weird feeling that they're throwing a bunch of numbers out there and messing it all up, jumbling it all up, getting us all confused, and then telling us something's happening. I may be wrong. Maybe, maybe that's really what's happening. Or maybe they're just full of hot air. Anyway, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Sunny 55:39

Oh, you haven't said that in a while.

Bruce 55:42

I know, but anyhow, that's that's one of the articles I run across. Again, it is in uh the Wall Street Journal uh dot com, Wsj.com, if you want to go check it out. There you go.

Infrasound And Paranormal Feelings

Bruce 56:02

And another article I run across in Metal MedicalPress.com. That's actually MedicoExpress.com. Um the title is You Can't Hear It, Yet This Sound May Explain Paranormal Experiences. So infra sound is a very low frequency sound below 20 Hertz, which humans typically can't hear. But what they have found is these noises can make people irritable, they can affect your sleep, and they can make you upset. Uh they can come from natural sources like storms, anthropogenic sources like traffic. Some animals use it to communicate while others avoid it. But what they've investigated invest Oh Bruce, tongue tied, get it out.

Sunny 57:06

Take a deep breath.

Bruce 57:09

There you go, there's my deep breath. But uh scientists have did the test, and basically what they did is they played some uh music. The scientists recruited 36 participants and invited them to sit alone in a room. While either calming or unsettling music was played, for half the participants, hidden subwoofers played infrasound at 18 Hertz. After listening, they were asked to report their feelings, their emotions, rating of the music, and whether they thought the infrasound was present. They also gave saliva samples before and after listening. Spit on this. I'm sorry, it was scientific. Uh the scientists found the participants' uh salivary cortisol levels were higher if they had been listening to the infrasound.

Sunny 58:10

Oh, spit tests, yeah, and it was scientific, and it proved they were higher.

Bruce 58:18

Yep, yeah, you're right. Uh these participants also reported feeling more irritable and less interested and thinking the music was sadder, but they couldn't tell they were listening to the infrasound. So basically what they did is they played it, seen if it was body responded, and they did. Now they're thinking that these uh sounds are affecting people, and a lot of the supernatural places that people get goosebumps and get bad feelings and think somebody's watching them and stuff may be contributed by these sounds to them feelings. Maybe. Uh maybe them sounds are what's bringing those uh beans out. Who knows? Man, there's more they're gonna have to do a lot more studying, but I thought it was interesting that they had found that and they had seen that something was causing that. So uh your mood shifts, you feel agitated, although all that could be because it's an old building where there's a good chance of the infrasound is present. They say, particularly in basements where aging pipes and ventilation systems produce low frequency vibrations. But a lot of the haunted houses that I've watched people go into don't have any of that stuff operate. Now, some of them do. So I think we're gonna do more investigating. But anyway, they were told that the building was haunted. You might attribute that agitation to something supernatural. In reality, you may simply have been exposed to infrasound. There goes ghost hunting. Eh, not so much. All right, on to the next set of news.

Artemis Photos And Number Games

Bruce 1:00:26

Um I don't even know how to start this, but uh NASA just recently dropped twelve thousand photos from the Artemis II mission. That's right, that's what it says. 12,000 photos. And I have still yet to find twelve thousand four photos. I went to the link that they put out and I found a few pictures. Um there was very few, I think there were six or seven, very particular pictures that they had, made sure that everybody seen. Then I clicked on another link and it went to a news article that talked about the photos, and it showed the same photos. Then I w I did the same thing. I did that three or four times, went to the NASA website that the link said to go to, and uh huh it it leads me to a whole bunch of photos, but most of them are stuff we've already seen, and they're not from the Artemis trip. Um there's different different ones. Um I I I don't know if I'm missing a link. They messed up the link. Uh, I don't I don't know what the deal is, but I don't see 12,000 photos from the Artemis mission. So if somebody was to read that and think in the back of their head, hey, I'm gonna go click on a very easy link that should take me straight to 12,000 photos, they're gonna be shocked. Very shocked. And um I guess if I went and done a search and typed in all that information, but there there's no link on their page that uh they sent what the page goes to is Explore NASA with pictures on the on the main page, but there's no it's only three pages, too. Three pages of pictures. And then there's a search up there, and um let me type in Artemis that didn't work at all. Anyway, I'm not gonna spend any more time on it, but what I'm telling you is they purposefully said 12,000 pictures that was dropped by NASA. 12,000 photos, um and then they don't give you a good link, a good easy link to follow to get to those twelve thousand pictures. So um I think they're playing games with numbers again um just to get us all going. If you type in uh Artemis II in the s search bar, um it brings up two pictures. Both of them of the moon, one of them with the um earth on the setting of the one we've all seen. But I don't know what happened to them. Uh there was a few more the other day when I was looking. Um there was but I don't see 'em now. Um they were I thought it was weird the ones that I found was let me go to this NASA site. Nope. I I don't I don't understand. I don't even know where I'd found them before, but there was um a few more. There was nowhere near 12,000, but the pictures that I found, uh, it showed uh when they were taken, and then it showed when they were edited and what they were edited by. And uh they were edited like a couple days later, uh, and the NASA astronauts were still on flight, so I don't know if they actually took time to edit their own pictures before they sent them out to us or what. That it don't make sense there. Or if they opened it up with um Adobe, I think's what it was, that said they used. But if they opened it up with that and then turned around and reclosed it, and it just shows that it was edited, but I'm not good at investigating that, but I can't even find those pictures now. So that is a bizarre turn of events. So I'm I may have to start checking some more news and see if there's more to that. But there's a lot of drops going on. Um and there's no uh Epstein file drops here lately. Uh there has been some, but it wasn't very good. Like everything else. Um they told us they were going to give us a bunch of stuff, but they really didn't. So then we got um a presidential promise field.

UFO File Drops And Disappointment

Bruce 1:05:56

Um the U.S. Department of War. I just really don't like that name. Um but the US Department of War, which is now is what it's called, dropped a whole bunch of UFO pictures and videos, um which is kind of strange. These files contain uh PDF information of the original uh paperwork, which if you go back and look at I've looked at a few of them. There's so many I didn't have time to go over all of them, and probably don't have the patience, to be honest. But um they went back to 1946 um and they handpicked, I think, what they gave us once again, um, but it shows a pretty good selection of files put together for the investigation and some pictures. Um, there's actually some pictures of NASA's uh moon mission where there was some lights over the moon, and you may have already seen those. Uh, there's some of this stuff we've seen before, uh, but um they're didact redacted some of the files. Of course they are. They're not going to release any information, right? Yeah, national security. But anyway, what I'm getting at is it was disappointing when I looked through all these. There's 16 pages of files, but there's only like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight um separate files on each page. That's quite a few. That's more than I I found on the Artemis II list. Um, and I got to see a few pictures that I hadn't seen before. I got to see a few that I had, which was interesting. But it doesn't say anything about literally what they found unless they didn't find anything to keep investigating that was in there, especially the older files where they had compiled all that stuff. But there's uh it it's just disappointing. That's all I got to say. Um they're not saying that they've got astronauts or aliens in the bunker. Uh they're not really saying there's any alien crashes. They're just not saying much of anything. So once again, they've uh uh gave us something to sort through and look it over it, and even President Trump said uh let the citizens make up their mind. So they didn't give us much to choose to make up their mind. I think there's gonna be people going over these and uh pulling out some information and hopefully we'll learn more. But at this time, I don't have uh patience to do that or the time. I gotta go to work here in a little while. But these drops, uh, we've got we got some Epstein file drops, here we'll back some names and stuff, but nothing major. We got some uh um NASA's mission, this last mission, we've got pictures from it, but I don't know where they went. And then we just got these UFO pictures, and uh it kind of makes me wonder what's going on. Uh I think and uh Sunny thinks.

Sunny 1:09:44

Yeah, that's right. This is what I said when we started. Around the bend we go.

Bruce 1:09:54

Yeah, you heard me talking, didn't you?

Sunny 1:09:56

Yep, you did. You was talking about it.

Bruce 1:09:59

Yep. So around the b end we go. I think it's the last bend before the straightway, before the last run. I think we're building

Data Centers And A Control Warning

Bruce 1:10:11

up. Uh I don't know if you've been paying attention to the news about the data sites. They're building a lot of those sites, and uh the citizens around them are having fits. The board of people that were elected uh by these citizens didn't give them a clue that this stuff was going to be uh voted on. Uh they found out, some of them found out afterwards, some found out during and showed up at the board meetings, but they've been heated, they've called the police, many of them, to get thrown out. But what I'm trying to say is they're coming. The uh data centers are being built. They are coming. And uh if you believe that they are just to run AI and do um, you know, reports for people um on the internet, then I think you need to research and think about what you are considering because they don't need all that, what they're building for just AI to come up with reports for everybody. Um we could be doing that with home computers. Um, there's a lot more going on. A lot more. But anyway, these are happening, you're not gonna be able to stop them. Uh we could maybe control some of the places they go into, but they're already trolls most of the sites, and they're already making moves to put them in there if they haven't already. And it's a sad state. But what we are seeing is the completion of a plan that's been in place for centuries. Um and uh again, this is uh my opinion. If you don't like it, you guys can just quit listening to me. But um this plan has been in place and it's been um acting upon for centuries, but the things that was needed to get there was not present until here recently. Now we're starting to see a speed up of all the actions of all the the things to happen, and the plan basically is speeding up because we are at that point where they can manipulate, control, and lock down every person in this world. And I'm speaking to the people in the world. I'm not just speaking to my countrymen, uh, I'm speaking to the human race that we need to pay attention. There's a lot of little things going on here and there. I mean, you're we talking about the robots, we're talking about the data centers, we're talking about, you know, this push to uh control the the ki the change of the climate um yeah, climate change. There's a bunch of little bitty things that's been in motion for years that's coming to a head now. And this head, you know, it's been predicted forever, not just biblical predictions, but others. Um and you even have different religions that has predicted the opposite view of it, but they all s are pointing the same way, that we are heading for this moment, and it's not going to be good for most humanity, and it's going to be an unpleasant ride, but we are here. So I'm saying this because it may be, you know, once this really gets into motion, our ability to be able to say anything against it, to place any um opinions out there is going to be so controlled, and it pretty well is now, because the only places you have the object or the ability to put out uh uh objection is uh social media which is controlled, and you can't even believe half the social media stuff that you see or hear because it's manipulated. Uh the news media is um way out there. Uh the radio stations just they're uh in it for their uh ratings, TV stations same way. So there's not much place to get any um alternative information other than what the main uh people in control want you to hear. And once it gets really in control and under their grip, the ones that do speak out will probably disappear. And um yeah. 1984. Go read that book. Um that was um it's just a good book. But anyway, I'm saying these things to the Christians and the ones that are in the belief that want to be in the way, and I don't mean in the way of somebody else, I'm talking about in the way of the truth. And those that are seeking truth, I'm speaking to you guys. Everybody else gonna be mad at me or think I'm a quack, so fine. But we need to prepare our souls for what's coming, our um minds, because it's gonna get crazy. And I you know, there was a time when the older generation would say, I probably won't be here, but you will. And I can remember my dad sitting down at the kitchen table with me and my younger sister and my mom, and he would actually say, I won't be here when this starts taking place, but you guys will. And I was young at the time, very young. And I wish I could have talked to him and found out what set his mind to believe in this, or if he'd got a uh witness from the spirit. Don't know, because when I was sixteen years old, he was taken from me, and I didn't get it I was just getting old enough where I could actually start talking to him kind of like an adult, and um that was gone. And I really was upset for years about that, but that's either here or there. The fact that um for whatever reason he came to believe that, and he did, um, he wasn't gonna be around for that time, but um he believed that mom would still be alive and that our my sister myself would be um there. So mom is still alive. Um she's reaching them ages where things are starting to not look good, and uh I've reached retirement age, and um, you know, I may be able to say I won't witness the very end, which I don't want nobody to, but I can actually assure you that um there's going to be a time when they're going to try to manipulate and control the world's population more than we've ever seen before. I mean, they've got self-driving cars now that will come and pick you up. And the young people probably don't think nothing of it. But for me, um I was still young, but they were still had the party line phones. Uh my sister lived in a house that had a hand pump in the kitchen, uh, outhouse, and a party phone. I grew up with that changes to this point. So what I'm seeing happen in these last few adult years is multiplied so much faster that it's just hard to fathom. And like I said, the young people don't see that because they they started out with all those changes. But it's yeah, anyway.

Sunny 1:19:28

Uh, Bruce, way to bring everybody down. Down, down, down.

Bruce 1:19:36

Yep, yep. I'm sorry, folks. I really am. We haven't done an episode in a couple weeks, and this thing is becoming a downer. But I've some of these news articles are just blowing me away that that I'm seeing happen, they're happening, and people are not catching on that they are part of the puzzle pieces coming together, and eventually they're all going to fit together in a tight, snug picture, and the human race is not going to be what you think it is. It's just not. I mean, you can't you can't say that they're doing all this for our good when everything that's happening is taking away our rights, our valuable resources, our financing. I mean, it's all opposite of what you want to believe.

Sunny 1:20:39

All right, can't you leave it with something nice, okay, before we end this?

Bruce 1:20:45

Ah, yeah. Let's do that.

How To Contact And Support Us

Bruce 1:20:48

Let's do that. Okay, folks, um, if you want to get hold of us and give us a hard time or give us a good time, um, we're gonna run down different ways you can do that. Um, that way it's it's on here. Uh the first of all, email us. Our email is at the uglyquacking duck at gmail.com. And that will be the uh podcast webpage or email, I mean. You can email us, we'll get back to you. Um if you want to check out our webpage, it's the uglyquacking duck.com. There's uh several pages you can check out. You can actually listen to our podcast there, and we try to put the newest episode on there uh 24 hours before the other one gets hosted and put out. Um sometimes a little bit longer, but here lately we've been running short timed uh because of work. But go check out our webpage. There's also a comment page or yeah, where you can go on there and you can leave us a voice recording, uh, an email. That's available too. But the easiest way, I have to say, besides emailing us, is if you have a phone. Now, if you're doing this on your computer, uh some uh web browsers don't work as well as others, so uh it may not work good. But if you're on your phone, it's awesome because you can pull up our details for each episode, and right at the top of the link or the details, there's a link that says you can click on it. It actually says send us a fan mail or send us fan mail, and there it's a link. You just click on that link, and it will take you to a page where you can send us a text or you can send us a voicemail. And if you're on your phone, it it's real easy to record from there. So that's the best way to get a hold of us. Do that, folks. Send us a note or a voicemail of what you think about this show and uh what you uh would like to hear about or not hear about um anyhow.

Sunny 1:23:15

Yeah, anyhow. Do that, folks, and share us with somebody, because if you share us with one person, then we're gonna grow.

Bruce 1:23:26

Yep, that's right. We're gonna grow. Um it's sunny things.

Sunny 1:23:31

You're welcome.

Bruce 1:23:34

Well, anyhow, I don't mean to be a downer. Boy, this this episode really turned a sour note, but let's pray about it, guys. Pray, be positive. I mean, there's a lot of fight left in this world. Uh good people, there is very good people in this world, and we can turn everything around. Um, that's one reason I think that the the biblical text does not give an exact date is because people can make a difference. They can turn it around. Uh, we have to believe, but we can do it. Be positive, give it to Yahushua. Is that right? I hope I said that right. The Christ, he called himself the Son of Man, and uh believe. But anyhow, uh that's a way you can contact us and be part of the episode and the show, and we may even take your consideration and what you your thoughts and your plans with us. There you go.

Sunny 1:24:46

Oh boy. And if you want to contribute to the show, uh that would be very helpful too.

Bruce 1:24:54

Oh yeah. Go to our webpage, and there's a page there for support, and you can support us financially with ideas, brainstorming, however you want to do it. And it looks like it's got pretty warm today. It is now eighty-eight degrees here at this location, and it's cloudy, it may rain, it's very humid. It's it's hot. It's hot. All right, that was fake rain. I hope you enjoyed that. We like to do um a little bit of fun there every now and then.

Sunny 1:25:41

A little bit. We haven't hardly done any on this episode.

Bruce 1:25:46

I know, it's been pretty bad. We're sorry about that, folks, but let's don't dwell on that. What do you guys think about the mic? Let us know. Uh I really think the mic sounds better. I've improved it, I think. Uh it's got that uh darker, richer sound to it. A lot like the SM7, I believe. I haven't tried the SM7. I've just went online and listened to people that had it. But uh I think it sounds good.

Sunny 1:26:15

Well, I told you I thought it would sound good, Bruce.

Bruce 1:26:18

I know. You did, and I appreciate that.

Sunny 1:26:21

Uh you're welcome.

Bruce 1:26:24

Okay, so that is all we've got for everybody today. I do appreciate you listening to us and being part of the ready for it?

unknown 1:26:33

Bruce 1:28:09

Father, as I come before you the end of this podcast episode, I thank you for helping me to put it together for Sunny and myself being able to um do a recording for the equipment. Um I didn't do a very good job of getting my thoughts out today. I was trying to be slow and patient, but I was hurrying, trying to get ready for work, and it just doesn't always work out well. But I ask you to take what we did, put it together and send it out with your blessing, that it may touch people that are inquiring, that's needing truth, and that will spur them to ask more questions and to look for more answers and to prepare. I ask you to bless it in a way that they can find some peace out of it and happiness, even though that we didn't show much on this particular episode. Bless each and every person that listens to this episode. Touch their life, help them through whatever's going on, and open our minds and souls up to be more in tune to what's going on and what we need to be doing. I thank you again for helping me to do this episode. I thank you for the blessings that you have given us. It is so.
