Aurora Over Illinois

In our latest episode, we share the magic of seeing this rare spectacle right here in Southern Illinois, thanks to an extraordinary solar flare. As these vibrant auroras danced across the sky, stretching as far south as Arkansas and Texas, we couldn't help but feel a mix of wonder and gratitude. Join us as we extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by the recent hurricanes in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida, and share poignant stories from these storm-ravaged areas.

Switching gears with a playful twist, Sonny and Bruce (also known as Brucke) invite you to participate in our Earthquake Guessing Game. This segment injects humor into the serious topic of seismic activity, with some friendly competition over predicting earthquake numbers. Amidst the banter about AI transcription errors, ghostly sounds, and amusing interruptions, we dive into this week's stats: a rise in quakes from 1839 to 2019. We explore the unpredictable nature of these occurrences, offering a lighthearted escape from the routine.

In our closing chapter, we ponder the global turmoil impacting communities worldwide, from natural disasters to international conflicts. Our conversation takes a contemplative turn as we express the limits of human solutions and emphasize the power of trust in a higher force for healing and reconciliation. As we wrap up, we express gratitude to our listeners, sharing blessings and a reminder of the strength found in faith. Stay tuned for exciting updates, including a special musical collaboration that promises to add a melodious twist to our episodes.

Lily: 1:38

Oh Okay.

Bruce: 1:39

So before we get started with anything wild and crazy, Get crazy, get crazy, get loud. I'd like to take time out to say hello and a shout out to the North Carolinas and Tennessee. They just had that horrible Hurricane Helena go through.

Lily: 2:05

Helene.

Bruce: 2:06

However you pronounce it, but anyway, they've suffered a lot of loss of life and property Horrible.

Lily: 2:19

Very.

Bruce: 2:21

And from what I'm hearing excuse me, by the way, from what I'm hearing they're not getting a lot of help from our government, but that's not surprising. But the citizens are stepping up and I'm proud of that. I want to say our prayers are with you and positive thoughts are going out to you guys and I hope you're making it all right. All right, and then let's turn our sights to Florida. They just went through one.

Lily: 3:01

Not one, but two.

Bruce: 3:03

Yeah, you're right. Yep two, Helene and milton. Yep, and milton was thought to be a big one that's going to crash some really big time.

Lily: 3:17

But it was a medium kind of one. Yeah, it kind of went down.

Bruce: 3:21

Uh, it started out and build up to a five out in the gulf, but time it hit landfall, they were saying it was a three or maybe even a high two.

Lily: 3:34

I think I heard a three yeah it could have been a lot worse, but they'd already been hit by one, had damage and then had to get hit by two, another one, which probably caused a little bit more damage and wait, there's another one coming up into the gulf.

Bruce: 3:55

Yep, I forget what. What its?

Lily: 3:58

name is. I think it's like hurricane lion, I don't know I was gonna look it up.

Bruce: 4:02

yeah, I don't know, I was going to look it up.

Lily: 4:03

Yeah, I don't know, didn't do my homework, sorry, folks. I didn't do mine either.

Bruce: 4:09

And you know, believe it or not, my throat was doing really good or my voice really good, until we come in here and sit down.

Lily: 4:16

Yeah.

Bruce: 4:17

And as soon as I did, oh boy.

Lily: 4:21

It was crazy.

Sunny: 4:24

Who are you calling crazy? You oh, huh. Well, you're a bum.

Lily: 4:33

I know that. Anyway, guess what.

Bruce: 4:37

Oh Lily.

Lily: 4:38

Chicken butt.

Bruce: 4:40

I got a text from your mom. Guess what she called me.

Lily: 4:43

A bum.

Bruce: 4:44

A bum. Yeah, can you believe, called me.

Lily: 4:47

A bum, a bum, yeah. Can you believe that?

Bruce: 4:49

Yeah, yeah, okay.

Sunny: 4:52

A bum, I told you.

Bruce: 4:55

Yeah, you told me.

Lily: 4:56

If you were in the Midwest out here where we are you would have saw the Northern Lights.

Bruce: 5:03

Yes, indeed, and go ahead and talk about that subject.

Lily: 5:10

Yeah, it was wild. It was really pretty too.

Bruce: 5:14

It was awesome.

Lily: 5:16

Yeah, you couldn't really see it outside, but you could see it a little bit outside. But when you got your phone out and took pictures you could really see it like. So the northern lights were like pretty cool. What was your perspective?

Bruce: 5:32

I thought they were awesome yeah and uh, thanks to a solar flare that was uh threatening our power system because it was so big and so fast coming. I don't think I heard of any damage. Um, there may have been some, uh wait, there was radio.

Lily: 5:54

Wait, there was a solar power solar flare.

Bruce: 5:57

Yeah, that's what caused that. Uh, yeah, and that's why we got to see it all the way down southern Illinois.

Lily: 6:05

Oh yeah, because usually it's like not even here, like usually, it's like in like Antarctica or other places.

Bruce: 6:16

But Antarctica is the most place where they have it like every single day. But they said it was going to be seen all the way down to Arkansas. I actually heard one report that said all the way down to Arkansas. I actually heard one report that said all the way down to Texas, so I don't know.

Bruce: 6:33

Maybe I don't know, Excuse me. What is neat about that is we actually got to go out. We loaded up in the car last night which is a 10, 10, 24, 2024 when we headed out to a site that has very low light pollution and we got out there and parked the car and got out and took our phones and took some incredible pictures. It was awesome, guys. I mean really I enjoyed it.

Lily: 7:12

Yeah, I got some good ones too.

Bruce: 7:13

Yep, you did, and if anybody's interested in seeing some of those, we will post them on our website. I've already got a post on there oh yeah, yep, I put them on first thing this morning before we started recording and that post went out to all my subscribers so they automatically knew that it was there. But it was there they look really cool.

Lily: 7:42

Yeah.

Bruce: 7:43

Especially my wife's phone and daughter and now my phone. It's easily blurred so they didn't come out as good, but you could still see the colors. That's what was neat seeing all the colors. Yeah, it was beautiful, I enjoyed it. We got out there about 8.40, I think, and then we left about 9.30. So I guess we was out there about an hour.

Lily: 8:15

Yeah.

Bruce: 8:16

And you could see it on the horizon when we first got out there, and then it started growing and the streaks of color went all the way up to about 11 o'clock position, if you was holding your hand up like a clock yeah and then they slowly started decreasing once again, and then we decided to load up and go home. We felt like we'd actually accomplished something, mainly because in the past we'd loaded up and went running and we never could find them anywhere.

Lily: 8:56

Never. I mean not never, but yeah, it was awesome.

Sunny: 9:04

Well, I didn't get to go again, thank you.

Bruce: 9:10

Well, you know, we can't just take you running around, especially at night, you'll get lost.

Sunny: 9:16

Oh, that's not true.

Bruce: 9:19

Well, just in case, we're not going to do that.

Sunny: 9:24

All right. You're a bum.

Lily: 9:27

Sunny stayed home with me, yeah.

Sunny: 9:30

I was not home alone.

Lily: 9:34

I don't think anybody would trust you being home alone.

Bruce: 9:38

Thanks, All right, yeah, we won't even get into that. So, lily, how's school been Good? And she's stretching, so hang on a minute.

Lily: 9:53

Good, it's going good. I got glasses.

Bruce: 9:57

Yep. Got brand new ones Black rim glasses.

Lily: 10:00

They look good on you. They're actually like cheetah print, kind of oh they are yeah, yeah, yeah, nice. They do look like black rim though.

Bruce: 10:14

So school's been going good, yeah, awesome.

Sunny: 10:20

Well, I'm glad you're getting some fun in. I have to stay here all day long.

Lily: 10:27

Well, you didn't want to go to preschool, so duck preschool. That sounds terrible, is fun, you get nap time and you get like a lot of play time he does that all day long.

Bruce: 10:42

What do you mean? He don't have to go anywhere he needs to learn, you know hey, won't you try opening that studio door? Maybe that'll get some air circulating. Maybe that'll help me.

Lily: 10:57

Okay, hold on yeah maybe that'll help you.

Bruce: 11:00

Grouchy. What do you mean Grouchy?

Sunny: 11:05

Well, you sound like you are.

Bruce: 11:08

Well, no, no, I think we're good. Thank you, we'll see what happens.

Lily: 11:16

Yeah.

Bruce: 11:20

Have you heard about Wyoming? No, supposedly, or apparently. However, you want to say that Wyoming has 73,000 acres burning. Yeah, I heard about that on some social media, so I haven't confirmed that.

Lily: 11:45

Let me look it up real quick.

Bruce: 11:47

That's what they're saying 73,000 acres burning 73? Been burning for quite a while 73,000?

Lily: 11:55

Yes, 73.

Bruce: 11:55

Been burning for quite a while 73,000?

Lily: 11:57

Yes, wyoming, it's like the first thing that pops up is Wyoming fires.

Bruce: 12:01

Yeah, what do they say about it?

Lily: 12:07

Someone commented on this article. These fires are acting like a teenage boy. Why is that no?

Bruce: 12:15

idea, okay. Well then, it's true, there's a big fire in Wyoming. They showed a picture of the antelope, I think it was running through the fire, because they were scared don't know what to do, but that's a lot of acreage being burnt.

Lily: 12:41

This was two days ago.

Bruce: 12:45

Yeah, I bet Wyoming's full of smoke.

Lily: 12:50

It is.

Bruce: 12:50

Yeah, that's terrible.

Sunny: 12:53

Yeah, that's terrible. Yeah, that's terrible. Think about all those animals not being able to get out of there.

Bruce: 13:01

Yeah, I heard that it was a wildlife estate reserve or something, but anyway. And then on the other side of the wildlife, california is having a bunch of earthquakes, from what I've heard, yes, I did hear that Micro earthquakes.

Lily: 13:22

I heard that yesterday they had 53. Really 53. Like they were up Wow. Someone said that there was like 10 in the morning, like it was crazy, and then they said that there was more today.

Bruce: 13:37

Yeah, there's not been a whole lot, has there.

Lily: 13:39

There's been 20 today. From right now I just looked, there's 20. There's one going on right now. I have it pulled up on my phone. It has caused 10 homes to fall down.

Bruce: 13:55

Oh, then it's been heavy enough that there's damage.

Lily: 13:59

And don't know if it's true, but one death. Wow, that's sad Because it got crushed by something.

Speaker 5: 14:07

Oh man.

Lily: 14:10

Yeah.

Bruce: 14:11

Not good at all, and that's why we like to report the earthquakes, because it brings everybody's knowledge and don't mind my typing in the background.

Bruce: 14:22

I'm just looking at the hurricane all right, the attitude, the information, level up so that they know there's. You know, it doesn't take just storms, but other things are happening in this world taking lives and damaging property. Florida before that, uh earthquake, uh, milton hit, they were actually getting um tornadoes. I was eating dinner at lunchtime at work in my truck and I was listening to ryan hall on youtube and uh, what are you looking so weird about the computer? Just shut off. Hall on YouTube. And uh, what are you looking so weird about?

Lily: 15:17

The computer just shut off.

Bruce: 15:20

Oh well, you wasn't looking at it anyway. Maybe it got scared and shut off because you wasn't paying attention.

Lily: 15:25

I was looking at how many deaths there were.

Bruce: 15:28

Yeah, that's our other monitor. She's talking about it, just shut off. Well, oh, I know why I shut off well, let's pause this for a minute, folks, we'll be right back. All right, we're back and I fixed the monitor what it is.

Bruce: 15:44

We got an extra monitor that um I can see yeah, she can see while I'm running my laptop and I had it plugged up and it's a monitor-computer combo and it runs on battery part of the time, but I forgot to plug the AC into it to keep it charged and we got an hour's worth out of it before it died. But that's what's going on. We had to reset it, put a power supply on it, so we're back up and running Running.

Lily: 16:23

Interesting.

Bruce: 16:24

Now repeat what you said to me while we paused.

Lily: 16:30

There were, I think, altogether from North Carolina and South Carolina there were 227 deaths for now.

Bruce: 16:38

For now what they've discovered. Yes, that's way too many folks, Way too many.

Lily: 16:46

And then a man lost 11 family members, so he lost all his family that was with him in North Carolina.

Bruce: 16:53

Yeah, that's terrible.

Lily: 16:54

I mean, that is terrible, Like I said we need to keep our prayers on those people, on their loss of family friends. Yeah, this says that Florida will take about six months for it to get fixed. And they said North Carolina and South Carolina are unlimited time.

Bruce: 17:18

Yeah, I've heard that they're not going to fix a lot of those cities, they're just going to bulldoze them in.

Lily: 17:24

This says that it might take over three years to fix North Carolina and South Carolina.

Bruce: 17:29

Not good. So, what I was saying. I don't know if I finished, but Florida, when Milton was coming in, I was eating dinner, which was about 11.30 am, and I was listening on my phone to Ryan Hall.

Lily: 17:48

Y'all.

Bruce: 17:49

Y'all. Yeah, he's a weatherman on YouTube.

Lily: 17:51

He does, uh, he does live streams.

Bruce: 17:54

Yep, when there's a storm, he does live streams. Anyway, he was doing a live stream and I was catching up what was going on with Milton.

Lily: 18:04

And then when I came to come here to stay the night because my mom had to work, he was on and we were watching it while I was eating my dinner, which was around I would say 7 or 8 pm when I was there and I ate my McDonald's and Sonny was sitting on the other couch and we were all watching Ryan Hall y'all.

Bruce: 18:23

Yeah, it's pretty interesting. He does a good job. He has people working for him.

Lily: 18:28

And Sonny was running around.

Sunny: 18:31

My mom.

Bruce: 18:33

All right, we'll pause for a minute and let her talk to her mom.

Lily: 18:37

Okay, sorry about that All right.

Bruce: 18:39

Well, you know, what I was trying to get at was there was like, while I was watching, eight tornadoes. Now this was in front of the hurricane. What a lot of people don't realize. Apparently there is, or tornadoes created in front of hurricanes from the hurricane. Yeah, from the hurricane now behind it you don't get that, but you get. Uh, on the south side of it, apparently, you get a lot of wind and water, but anyway, I have earthquakes and jokes, so we should probably do that right now there was eight tornadoes and there was a town I can't remember the name of the town that had three tornado warnings at the same time, three different ones.

Bruce: 19:31

So that was was interesting to see. But okay, it looks like Lily's going to have to be going home here pretty soon, so let's have a earthquake report.

Lily: 19:48

Welcome to Lily's earthquake report.

Bruce: 19:51

Yay, okay, for anybody that's not listened to us in the past, what?

Lily: 19:55

we do is? I go on this website and it has earthquakes.

Sunny: 20:02

I get to guess too.

Lily: 20:04

I get to guess I get to guess, and so does Brooke.

Bruce: 20:11

That's Bruce to you. Thank you, brooke. Anyway, I got Sonny broke of saying Brooke, so don't start him in again. Good grief, brooke.

Sunny: 20:27

I hear Brooke, brooke. You know one of the reasons Bruce did not like to be called Brooke why? Because he couldn't use his little AI to type up a transcript because it spelled Brooke wrong.

Bruce: 20:50

That's true. If I have to pay to get that transcript printed up, I don't want it printed up wrong and I really don't want to go through and edit it all the time, but anyway. So what we do is a seven day report. We go back seven days to see, I go back seven days. Yeah, to see how many earthquakes there's been, and we do them in three categories All 2.5 and over, and then 4.5 and over.

Lily: 21:23

And the one that tells us all, which is the US one.

Bruce: 21:28

And then we compare them to the last episode, which has been quite a while.

Lily: 21:35

And we see who gets it right.

Bruce: 21:37

Yeah, we see who gets the closest guess. It kind of makes a little bit of joy and fun out of bad news, because earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes are bad news.

Lily: 21:52

Really bad.

Bruce: 21:53

We hear people suffering, losing life, losing property. So if we can make it a little bit less, what heartbreaking we will. Yeah, All right, I'll shut up and let Lily go take over.

Lily: 22:14

Well, hello. Okay, so last week's earthquakes, which was 9-29-24, we had that's more than a week ago, anyway, yeah a week ago. That's anyway, yeah, yeah. So we had 1839 um earthquakes in all, and then we had 216 for 2.5 and then 80 for 4.5 2.5 and then 80 for 4.5. So, sunny and Bruce, I'll take it. What was the number again for this? I mean for last week.

Bruce: 23:05

Yes, which one total 1839, so 1839.

Lily: 23:09

Eight hundred and thirty-nine so one thousand eight hundred Eight hundred and thirty-nine.

Bruce: 23:21

One thousand eight hundred.

Lily: 23:23

Thirty-nine.

Bruce: 23:24

Eighteen, thirty-nine, all right, all right, I'll let you go first, sonny.

Sunny: 23:38

No, I don't want to you go first.

Lily: 23:42

How about I pick who goes first?

Bruce: 23:44

All right.

Sunny: 23:45

Sonny go first. All right, I think you said 1839, so I'm going to guess 1925.

Bruce: 24:00

That number sounds familiar. I think he's guessed that in the past.

Lily: 24:05

He probably has.

Bruce: 24:06

He's probably stuck on that number. Maybe that's why he's winning all the time. All right, I agree with him. It probably went up.

Lily: 24:17

What was your answer, Sonny 1925. She said something like that in August. I just saw, oh okay. It was 1919. So, 1929, you said Sonny 1925. Oh, sonny 1925. Oh 25, 25, 1925, 25. I got it now, sonny. Thank you very much.

Bruce: 24:44

Okay, he sounds like a teenager, doesn't he? Maybe he is. We never did figure out how old he was. Anyway, I will beat him and say 1935. 1-9-3-5. So there you go.

Sunny: 25:04

That's cheating. You shouldn't guess so close.

Bruce: 25:08

Oh, that's the way to win.

Lily: 25:12

Okay, I don't know who's closer to this one. So, brooke I mean Bruce you can do the math.

Bruce: 25:22

Okay.

Lily: 25:24

The number in total is 2019.

Bruce: 25:26

2019?.

Lily: 25:29

So 2019.

Bruce: 25:32

No, yeah, okay yeah.

Speaker 4: 25:34

Yeah.

Bruce: 25:34

Okay, well, I got it. Then I finally beat Sunny.

Sunny: 25:41

Boo Boo.

Lily: 25:43

That's not fair. Actually, for my lack of notice, you beat Sunny last time I was on here.

Bruce: 25:49

Really.

Lily: 25:50

Yeah, did I really, you really did.

Bruce: 25:53

Two in a row, that's not bad. Not bad at all, okay Well, yeah, so it was night 20. What 2-0, what?

Lily: 26:06

2019.

Bruce: 26:08

2019. Is your soda getting watered down now that you're getting to the? Bottom oh it's gone, yeah, sorry. Yeah, I can hear hear you sucking on that straw yeah, large, I mean not a larger medium yeah, that's what I got root beer, yay, right, so what was it? 2.5.

Lily: 26:35

Yep 2.5.

Bruce: 26:40

No, what was it? 2.5 numbers.

Lily: 26:46

Yeah, I know. Anyway, I just heard someone crack something, something break out, I don't know that was a ghost what?

Bruce: 26:59

Yeah, that was a ghost.

Lily: 27:00

No, it was Ed pooping.

Bruce: 27:03

Hey, that's your mom. Oh, there's a cat in the toilet.

Lily: 27:19

Oh, do you guys hear that? Anyway, this, that's my arm of my chair.

Bruce: 27:22

I'm not farting so okay, you know what?

Lily: 27:27

I'm not editing that out at all okay, so so for the 2.5, we have 300.

Bruce: 27:34

That's up too.

Lily: 27:35

So it did go up.

Bruce: 27:36

Yeah.

Lily: 27:37

The last one was 216 and it's 300 this week.

Bruce: 27:40

All right, what's the 4.5?

Lily: 27:43

82. Last week's was 80. So it went up two times. So it was two earthquakes.

Bruce: 27:49

Two earthquakes, two earthquakes, so any 6.0s or higher.

Lily: 27:55

No.

Bruce: 27:56

That's a good thing.

Lily: 27:57

That's surprising? Yeah, because last week we had one which was 6.3, which was the 29th of September.

Bruce: 28:08

Well, that's good news, because they wasn't as bad but there have been many, many more, and what it normally does is it goes back down.

Lily: 28:20

Yeah, it does go.

Bruce: 28:21

And then we have some bigger ones at the six-point level.

Lily: 28:26

So we didn't have anything go down this week, we had everything go up this week.

Bruce: 28:29

Yep, that's a good thing. I like it. No. I don't like it. No, because it all went up yeah.

Lily: 28:38

I think what you like is that you just got it right.

Bruce: 28:41

Yeah, I am very happy.

Lily: 28:42

I'm happy. I'm happy, you're a bum.

Sunny: 28:45

Bum, bum, bum, bum.

And I can say it a little bit more louder, and if you're a fan and you listen on a podcast app such as Podcast Addict, podcast Guru. There's many, many of them, but most of them will now show you a text where you can click, and then you can send us a text and we'll notify you that we got the next episode and give you a shout out. So, comment, send us information however you want to do it, but we want to hear from you and let us know what you think. By the way, lily, yeah, just so the audience know, I'll tell you again. I went back. I got rid of the pod mic. Yeah, I went back to my old old, reliable. Yeah, that's what we're on now. So I've got a rope from it so.

Lily: 32:05

It picks up pretty good. I got my joke.

Bruce: 32:06

But on the laptop I had trouble with that new update Audacity. Yes, I had trouble with that new update Audacity and I just deleted it and installed the older version that I've used for years. My laptop was not meaty enough powerful enough to run the newest update. It kept locking up and jumping. It was poopy. Yeah, it was not good.

Lily: 32:34

Like my, it was poopy. Yeah, it was not good.

Bruce: 32:36

Like my arm is poopy. So we're back to basics and we like it. It sounds good.

Lily: 32:42

Not my actual arm, it's the arm from my microphone.

Bruce: 32:45

Yeah, it's wore out. It keeps dropping. I'm going to have to order a new one. Get her fixed up. You're picking that up, I know? Okay, I'm going to have to order a new one.

Lily: 32:56

Get her fixed up. You're picking that up. I know I have my joke.

Bruce: 32:58

Can I say it now? Yes, lily has her joke.

Lily: 33:00

Wait a minute. This one relates to hey, that was cool. It's a joke that I found that it would relate to your incident that you had last night.

Bruce: 33:14

All right, you're going to tell the world about my incident.

Lily: 33:17

What happened was he was trying to get a cat and there's this step that's taller than the other steps and he didn't put his foot up like good enough and he fell and he hit his knee, his elbow and his toe, and now his toe is sore Anyway.

Bruce: 33:34

It hurts, guys, but that's all right.

Lily: 33:37

What's the best way to get to the hospital after breaking your toe?

Bruce: 33:45

A tow truck. Hey, I get that one. Ha, ha, ha ha.

Bruce: 34:01

I got that one too, Thank you, you're welcome. I hope our listeners enjoyed that joke. That was a better one than some of them.

Lily: 34:11

I know Some of these don't even make sense.

Bruce: 34:13

Yeah, they don't. They're kind of, but that's better one than some of them. I know Some of these don't even make sense.

Lily: 34:18

Yeah, they don't, they're kind of, but that's why they're called dad jokes.

Bruce: 34:22

Yeah, and I bet they came from you.

Lily: 34:25

But no, but I'm sure there was some dads that did it. It was fun, funny.

Bruce: 34:38

Anyway, is it time to wrap up? No, oh, we got. Uh. I want to tell them about uh. There's a lady on tiktok that sings and plays music and I've been listening to her and I contacted her a few weeks ago and I said I'd like to use your music on my podcast and uh, would that be okay? And she said yeah, so I am, I'm going to use that. Now I found out she's in north carolina, or anyway, that's what the tiktok location says, which worried me. I wouldn't. I haven't heard back from her as of yet to see if she's okay.

Lily: 35:17

It's very concerning because we don't know what's happened to her. But she did post a video five hours ago.

Bruce: 35:24

Well, that's what TikTok said. I don't know if I believe them or not, but anyway, I want to dedicate this song to her and the rest of the North Carolinas and I want you listeners to enjoy it. I'm just going to play the audio straight from her, tiktok, so you're not going to be able to see the video, but I hope you enjoy it. I'm trying to find out if she's got any place that you can donate to or if she knows anything about value for value, so we can get her some revenue coming in from her music, because it's awesome.

Lily: 36:08

And her voice is wonderful. She's really good.

Bruce: 36:11

You may not like this style of music, but don't shut this off because of that. Listen to her voice and her heart. That's why it caught me. So her name is. Her name is Carla Davis and her TikTok's Carla Davis Music. So I'm going to mute our mics and let her play.

Lily: 36:50

Beautiful.

Speaker 4: 36:51

Thank you for watching. Beautiful. Thank you for watching. I wrote this song with Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr to just phenomenal songwriters in Nashville, and my babies are sleeping and this is a special song to me. It's called Dare to Dance Alone. Thank you for watching.

Speaker 5: 37:31

Who cares if there's no one to hold you?

Speaker 5: 37:38

No imitations on the telephone. You still hear the music, don't you Dance alone? Who cares if life don't turn out like you planned it? You still feel the rhythm in your bones. And the truth is you don't need Someone else to lead Dance alone. And when you make your move, take that leap of faith. You see how easily your steps fall into place. At first it might seem Kind of scary when you do, but just know that we're all out there dancing too. So maybe while you're spinning in the darkness You'll stumble on a style that's all your own. And wouldn't it be sweet To sweep your own self off your feet Day to day. It's alone. And when you make your move, take that leap of faith. You see how easily your steps fall into place. At first it might seem kind of scary when you do, but just know that we are all out there dancing too. Who cares if there's no one to hold you? No invitations on the telephone. The invitation's on the telephone. You still hear the music, don't you? Did it?

Speaker 4: 40:45

dance alone, did it dance alone, thank you for watching.

Bruce: 41:30

All right, thank you. I want to give thanks to Carla.

Lily: 41:34

Bruce: 41:36

You got back just in time. Carla Davis for taking time out in her life to go to the garage when her babies are asleep and create this beautiful music. She does a good job. We hope her and her family is safe. We just pray for all of them.

Lily: 42:08

Lily: 42:13

My drink, yep Anyway.

Bruce: 42:15

Sunny: 42:20

That was her straw.

Lily: 42:23

Bruce: 42:24

Lily: 42:33

Oh, the last oh.

Bruce: 42:34

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah. All right, all right. A couple more notes of interesting information. I just found out it was snowing in South Africa. What I actually seen. A video of it. How weird is that.

Lily: 42:54

Very, I'm going to use the bathroom real quick so you can go ahead and keep talking, but I'm going to use the bathroom.

Bruce: 42:59

All right, snowing in South Africa and in the Sahara Desert there's been flooding, yep. So I think we're seeing some biblical stuff happen and there's no telling what's coming next. And no, don't get on the computer, all right, sorry about that. Uh, extra distraction. Uh, we got this big old tomcat weighs a ton. He just jumped up on my laptop keyboard uh stopped the program. The computer went to go into shutdown mode, luckily, um, I got a stopped before we lost everything. Yeah, boy, could have been bad man. We've been recording for 44 minutes and we could have lost it all. But I shoot him off, got him out of the studio and got everything turned back on just in the nick of time. So there you go. All right, everybody, I appreciate you tuning in.

Lily: 44:22

So do I.

Bruce: 44:23

I hope you enjoyed the music and the news. We didn't get to tease around or anything very much today because there was so much news to cover and we normally don't even talk about the news, but this was a little bit different, man, there's a lot of people suffering for this, and not only do we have the hurricanes and the tornadoes and the fires, but there's a war all over the middle east hurricane russia, iraq and israel yeah ukraine yeah, it's.

Bruce: 45:02

It's horrible. The world's kind of went nuts and there ain't no listen my hip talk. There ain't no human that's going to be able to fix it. The only thing that's going to be able to fix it is our trust in the Father and the Creator. So keep that in mind and we will say goodbye to everybody.

Sunny: 45:32

Oh yeah, goodbye everybody. Oh yeah, Goodbye everybody. Thank you, thank you.
