The Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast
Welcome to the worst podcast in the known world! Being partial to Scifi and electronic stuff we find enjoying many not so ordinary things happens a to us often. Doing a podcast just happens to hit most or all of that. We try not to narrow the podcast down to one niche but we like to move around. You might need to hang on. Sunny shows up in most episodes. He likes to add a word or as many as he can get in. We have our revisiting guest Lily come aboard as much as possible. We hope you will join us often.

The Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast
Have A Great Thanksgiving Weekend
We kick things off by sharing our journey, which includes our move from Buzzsprout's free hosting to a paid plan—a change that caused some early episodes to vanish into the ether. As we reminisce about past seasons, from sci-fi escapades to our interviewing misadventures, we can't help but chuckle at our chaotic content organization. But fear not, we've hit our stride in Season Five, just in time for a Thanksgiving-themed episode filled with humor and lighthearted banter.
In this episode, we navigate the unpredictable terrain of topics, starting with a tale about fickle weather and playful cats that takes an unexpected turn with a somber incident involving a cat and a road. We then switch gears to our beloved earthquake segment, where we put our guessing skills to the test. With an uptick in quakes, we analyze the numbers and ponder the possibility of a live show where listeners can join in the fun. Our banter might be as shaky as the ground we're discussing, but that's part of the charm.
Hold on as we embark on an out-of-this-world exploration, questioning the authenticity of China's Chang'e 6 lunar mission. From there, we venture into discussions about global military advancements, with a nod to India's hypersonic missile test and a glance at Apple's latest tech tweak. The episode wraps up on a high note, despite a small oversight with our Morse code news jingle. We're already planning its triumphant return next time, leaving everyone eager for our next meeting.

It's time, what time is it? It's time for the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast and a brand new episode. All right, man, that was good.
Sunny:All right, I think that was good too, and you got a bell. That was even cooler.
Bruce:I agree, Sunny, and hello, welcome aboard.
Sunny:Well, thank you, bruce, I'm glad to be aboard and let's go.
Bruce:All right, are you ready? We'll say hello together. Thank you, bruce. I'm glad to be aboard and let's go. All right, are you ready? We'll say hello together. One, two, three, hello everybody. All right, that was really good. We synced it really good that time. So, everybody, welcome to the 93rd episode of the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast. We're getting really good at that. But yes, 93rd episode.
Sunny:Why the 93rd?
Bruce:I thought we was on the 31st well, yes and yes, um, this is a season five, episode 31. But originally I started out and, uh, we did what? Uh, two months, three months on my thing's just too much, I don't remember, but anyway on buzz sprouts, free um hosting program. And then, once we got done with the two or three months, then we started a pay program and what that meant is the first few episodes they didn't is the first few episodes they didn't keep. So we was at like five or six I don't remember what the count was before it started recording and keeping those. Now I've got those on my database at home and I could upload them if I needed to, but they were the first few.
Bruce:So we started out, you you know, with season one and then we had a um season two that was a sci-fi we tried to work out didn't work real good, and I think we did it, or was it two? That one of the other seasons was when we tried to record. The seasons was when we tried to record interviews with people and we tried to separate those and the sci-fi stories with different seasons. That way, you know, you'd have a season two that was all sci-fi and you'd go one, two, three, four, but anyway they actually added up to a certain amount. So once we got to season five, the podcast and episodes kind of started lining out and started feeling more comfortable. We got our equipment lined out, our vocals lined out sort of Not perfect, but it was going a lot more smoothly, if I could say that.
Sunny:Are you going to get through with this pretty soon?
Bruce:Because I'm getting bored.
Sunny:You're always bored, but yes, I'm going to be done pretty soon.
Bruce:Well, what happened to your mic? I don't know. I hope it don't start messing up.
Sunny:I think you just messed up period. Ha ha, ha ha.
Bruce:All right. Well, anyway, to make a long, drawed-out story short, we just went into our Buzzsprout and seen where our count was for our full podcast episodes and we're at 93 this time this episode. So we're just going to leave it at season five from now on and, you know, count off the episodes from here on in until we change something major in the programming or in the recording or something. So season five is just pretty well where we got to get it to work smoothly.
Sunny:You call this smooth Ha, you are cracked up literally in the head okay, sonny, thank you for that, but uh, yeah, that's what we're doing.
Bruce:we're trying to make it from now on um straightforward, so everybody knows what season we're in and what episode, and hopefully we won't do a lot more changing. We'll just keep on podcasting, right? I think that's what Buzzsprouts I think that's what their logo is Start podcasting.
Sunny:You are really uptight, take a breath. You are really uptight, take a breath.
Bruce:That was pretty good sound effects. I think the mics are turned up a little bit loud. Let me adjust. Hang on just a second. I'm going to turn both of these.
Sunny:Oh man, you did something there I did. All right, hang on, I'm gonna adjust them oh right, and we're gonna do mine too.
Bruce:Mine's at 34. Yeah, I just seen it. All right. Well, yours is 34, and I dropped mine down to 34. And I think hopefully that'll be a little bit better.
Sunny:We'll see what happens. We'll just have to go that route.
Bruce:Yeah, we'll just have to go that route.
Sunny:So you're ready to go now?
Bruce:Yeah, I'm ready to go. Well, I was hoping that we could do an episode without me adjusting stuff and talking about all the equipment, but I guess we couldn't. Anyway, this is the day before Thanksgiving. I had the day off, so I got some stuff done around the house and I played a little bit, and now I'm going to do a episode for Thanksgiving. I don't know if it'd be very long. It may or may not be, we'll see how it goes. I've got my earthquake stuff to put out and I got that seven-day corner which I know.
Sunny:Yeah, I don't like that name.
Bruce:I knew you was going to say that. However, I haven't heard from any of our listeners or you, sonny, for a different name any ideas?
Sunny:So until then we're calling it the seven-day corner. Yeah, but that don't work good, because it's two weeks before we rebroadcast, right.
Bruce:Yeah, it is. So it's been two weeks ago, but I try to go back a week, seven days, to collect most of my information. Now I've went back a little bit farther on some of them, like the weather and stuff, but anyhow, quit picking on me.
Sunny:No, it's fun.
Bruce:All right, well, just keep picking on me, because I like picking on you too.
Sunny:I know You're a bum.
Bruce:Yep, I'm the biggest bum of all In my life. You know, I finally figured out how to do something right.
Sunny:What's that?
Bruce:Be the biggest bum of all.
Sunny:Oh, good grief, I should have known that was coming.
Bruce:Yep, you should have, but anyhow, it is November. Let's see, let me call it right. What day is it? It is the 27th. Well, duh right.
Sunny:That's right, Duh. Tomorrow's Thanksgiving and I'm glad they're not catching me to cook. You guys are bad.
Bruce:I didn't catch any birds to cook.
Sunny:Oh, what do you got in the refrigerator?
Bruce:Well, I didn't go catch it.
Sunny:Oh, okay, whatever?
Bruce:whatever. Anyway, yeah, it's a 93rd episode for the ugly quacking duck and it's the day before thanksgiving, so we're taking time out on this episode to say happy thanksgiving to everybody listening and I hope you all have a good day tomorrow. If you're not celebrating Thanksgiving, I just hope you have a good day anyway. It's not about all the rituals and celebrations. It's about enjoying your time here on this earth with your family, with your friends, your neighbors, whoever. Don't be specific about who you enjoy it with. Just enjoy it with everybody. You get a chance, because we have a short time here and then you're gone. I'm gone, and then somebody else will take our place.
Sunny:Yeah, I'll miss you guys.
Bruce:Well, I'm not gone yet. Good grief. Anywho, thank you everybody for being part of our show, for all your what am I going to say? Help, for sharing our show, for taking part in our show and being good listeners and good valued friends. We appreciate it and we want to say thanks on this day before Thanksgiving.
Sunny:All right, you're getting mushy again.
Bruce:Boy, you are on my case.
Sunny:Well, somebody has to be.
Bruce:No, they don't.
Sunny:Yes, they do. Your wife's working. You're here all alone. I think I need to take up the slack.
Bruce:Okay, I just took a drink of my Seven Brew hot cocoa. Thank you, seven Brew, I like that place. Okay, anyway, we hope everybody has a good day tomorrow and we hope you eat wisely, no junk, and don't overstuff yourself. You'll be miserable for it. But anyway, enough of that, let's go on with the season five, episode 93. Right, anybody got anything to say?
Sunny:I've always got something to say you want to hear about my week sure we need something in here besides me talking. That's true. You spoke the truth for once.
Bruce:Hey, I always try to speak the truth.
Sunny:Yeah, maybe a bunch of baloney to go with it Okay.
Bruce:Anyway, what do you got to say?
Sunny:Well, I've had a pretty good week. It's rained a little bit today, but however it's been a nice week, been windy, kind of cold. Off and on It'd get warm and then cold and warm and cold. Yeah, but it's been good and I've got to run around and chase the cats, ha ha.
Bruce:Yeah, I know you like chasing them cats, but do they ever turn on you?
Sunny:No, I've got them fooled. They don't know any better.
Bruce:Well, at least you're not really hurting them.
Sunny:No, I wouldn't do that. I actually keep them from running out in the road. Them crazy cats will try to go out in the road and I have to chase them back into the yard. Crazy.
Bruce:Yeah, we've lost one cat over that, and Roro actually witnessed it. It broke her heart.
Sunny:Oh man, I can believe that Horrible.
Bruce:Yeah, it was a horrible moment for her, but anyway, we won't talk about that. We don't want anybody being miserable. I'll tell you what. Let's run into our seven-day corner and let's cut this short as we can. Maybe they'll get the chance to listen to it on their travels to Thanksgiving tomorrow, and maybe not. But let's you know, let's do our thing. Want to?
Sunny:Sure, I want to. When are we doing the earthquakes?
Bruce:How about close to the end? Does that sound all right to you?
Sunny:Well, that's what we did last week.
Bruce:Let's do it first.
Sunny:I want to do it first, First, first, first first.
Bruce:Okay, we will do it first, so let me get my notes Hang on just a second. All right, sonny, do you want to guess for me today?
Sunny:You know I do, I love guessing. And since Lily's not here again, where's she at? She's not in school.
Bruce:You're right, but she's at a friend's house. We were going to do a phone hookup so we could do an episode, because she's got a new microphone for her phone. I got it for her and we thought it would be great for that. But she's at a friend's house so we couldn't do that, so we are just doing it without her again.
Sunny:Alright, so I'm guessing, so that means I'm gonna win.
Bruce:Yeah, one of these days we may go live when we get a big enough audience. So we'll get some people to call in against you and we'll see who gets the biggest or biggest. No, closest guess.
Sunny:You know that won't be fair. They'll be getting on the internet and looking for the answer.
Bruce:Yeah, you're probably right, but at least it'll be fun to do a live show fun to do a live show.
Sunny:Yeah, I agree, that'd be fun. I can pick on you and make you stutter and you won't be able to cut it out. You'll just have to leave it in the show.
Bruce:Well, you know what? I don't really edit that way. I pretty well leave everything in there that we do anymore, even the long pauses. Um, some people don't like that. They want to hurry up and get through the episode, and that's fine. Um, some people actually watch it on double speed or 1.5. I think the most popular is 1.5 speed. But anywho, whatever, I'll just leave it normal and leave it human, and that way we can just leave it alone. The only thing I do is try to post it and make sure the audio's decent, no quirks and the level decent, you know, and then then I just put it on board on the hosting site and let them deal with it you're such a nice guy, all right, I want to guess.
Bruce:Give me the info all right, let me get my little pamphlet out. I just got these numbers. Okay, so I can give you the numbers from last time, which was 15th. This is the 27th, so you're looking almost 15 days ago we had 1,560 total earthquakes. So we're just going back seven days, so we'll see if our regular numbers will hold up. So, anyway, are you ready to guess? We're looking at 1,560, and we're on the 27th now, so I think that's 12 days. So let me have it. Tell me what you think.
Sunny:That don't work, see, I told you.
Bruce:I know, but it helps the audience deal with your paws.
Sunny:Oh, is that why you do it? I didn't know, but anyway, I'm going to guess they went up because it's about time for them to go up. So let's guess 1795, 1795.
Bruce:Well, that's a pretty good guess. They did go up and you thought they did, so you guessed right. But they went up more than that, believe it or not. The number was 1,565 before. Now there are 1,915 for the last seven-day count Wow, shooting way up there again. And the 2.5, let's see what was the 2.5 and over count it was. I'm getting a lot of papers here. I'm going to have to do something with all these but it was 249 at 2.5 and now they're at 244, so it looks like they're holding true to our formula. It's kind of a loose formula, but. And the 4.5 count was 93. And this last seven days they were 82. So what do you think about that?
Sunny:I'm not sure. Tell me again the formula.
Bruce:All right, I'll tell you again.
Sunny:Don't make it too boring.
Bruce:Okay, I won't, I'll try not to. Maybe If they go up in total amount, then usually the 2.5 and the 4.5 earthquakes, which are the larger ones, and six and all those they'd go down in amount. Now they may not go down in power, they just go down in amount and when they go back the total earthquakes go down. So say, next week we read them off and the total earthquakes will go back down. What happens is the total for the 2.5 and the 4.5 give or take a few will usually go up. So what worthy rise is this week is anything under 2.5. So the smaller earthquakes. So we get smaller earthquakes and then they start building up to bigger ones. And that's when we have problems, because the big ones, if they end up being over you know five, you start having damage and you know if it's in the right spot you can get somebody hurt. And if they go over 6.0, they really cause a lot of damage.
Bruce:And this week we only had one 6.1 or one over. It was in Japan, it was on yesterday, I think, and the last time. Let's see if it holds true. Yep, we had a 6.6 and a 6.8 last time we did this numbers. Now that was 15 days ago. So it's kind of hard to figure exactly when this is going to transpire, because you know it goes up and then it starts going back down and then it goes, starts going back up. So we figured seven days is about right to start catching it. Catching it, but sometimes you know it happens in five days, or it happens in 10 days or 12 days. You know, we just don't know for sure. But that seems to be the cycle and anyway I'll shut up now. You've either caught on to it or you're not going to.
Sunny:I think you've drained everybody of any brain willpower. You're just blah, blah, blah.
Bruce:Okay, thanks for the vote of confidence. You know, change the subject real quick. I was just looking out the window and it's getting dark. This time of year is kind of a bummer because it gets dark sooner and there's a lot more cloudy days in the winter time and, uh, many rainy and sometimes snowy and yucky, so blah. But it's's in there right now getting dark and woo-woo, it's 420. And it's not quite dark yet, but it is sure getting close.
Sunny:Yeah, it is. I'll have to stay inside so I don't get run over by a cat.
Bruce:Do they ever run over you?
Sunny:No, not really, but I try to get in their way. So they get bumped up, you know, and they think what are you doing here?
Bruce:Yeah, I bet that's what they think. They probably think you look good for dinner.
Sunny:No, I'll whip them.
Bruce:Yeah, okay, a couple of those cats look pretty mean. Have you met Loki yet?
Sunny:Oh yeah, I think he looks pretty mean mainly because he's got one ear tore off. I think he lost a couple of fights.
Bruce:Yeah, well, I hate to see what the other guy looked like. He's a. You know he is an old cat. Look like he's a. You know he is an old cat. I don't know how old he was, but he come up here when we moved in, so he's what is that about 12 years ago? He's at least that old, um, anyhow he. I seen him, uh, back. What was it?
Bruce:A couple years ago we had this male cat that we was kind of fond of. It was a stray though, but he got to being too much of a moncho cat and that Loki come up in the yard and started chasing him. And you talking about that old man running, that cat could run. He chased that other cat out of the yard in the neighbor's yard, out in the woods, and we never did see that other cat again. And the whole time, the whole time they were running, my wife was making a little snide comment and I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was so funny because the way she was saying it in a different voice and it was sounding like that cat that was running. It was something like he's going to catch me, he's going to catch me, but she was. I wish I'd recorded it.
Sunny:It was great but we laugh about that still.
Bruce:Okay, so your point is, um Loki's a pretty tough old man, oh, you mean like Mike Tyson.
Sunny:No, don't even bring that up. That was disappointing. Oh, I had to bring that up.
Bruce:I watched that, remember. No, I don't remember you being in that living room, but okay, I'll believe you. Yeah, it was disappointing and disheartening, to say the least.
Sunny:And probably a setup. But anyway, anyway, that's enough of that. Okay, that's enough of that. How about the rest of the? What was it?
Bruce:tell me again the rest of the seven day corner yeah, that's it.
Sunny:Let's give it to the listening and the audience. They love the seven-day corner.
Bruce:Well, I wouldn't go that far, because this is the only second time we've done it.
Sunny:Oh well, it seems like a hundred. Okay, let's do it.
Bruce:Well, don't sound so eager man. Okay, what the seven-day corner is is I write down some things that's happened in the last week, maybe two weeks, since, you know, we haven't been on in a couple, 12 days to be exact and we, you know, kind of mention them, and especially something that sticks out in my mind and it just so happens, the first thing on the list was from 1115. Guess what it was, Guess guess.
Sunny:I know what it was, because we were just talking about it.
Bruce:Yep, you got that right. We were just talking about the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight. It was last Friday, which was the 15th, I do believe, and the headlines read you ready for this? Jake Paul beats Mike Tyson by unanimous decision. And my whole opinion on that is I wish I had not stayed up to watch that bout, that fight, that joke, that obscene show staged. I just go on and on again. It was just terrible.
Sunny:Bruce, why don't you tell me how you really feel? I don't think you've told me yet.
Bruce:Oh yeah. Anyway, I was very disappointed, disheartened. I've already went over that and, like I said, I stayed up just to watch that show. I had to go to work next day. But I watched some of the other fights and they wasn't too bad, but that one was just. That's all I got to say.
Sunny:Okay, well, I kind of agree with you. I didn't understand why people stood there and beat themselves like that.
Bruce:But I didn't like any of the fights.
Bruce:I thought they were kind of ridiculous yeah, you probably would, but anyway we'll go on. The next thing I had are you ready for this? There's some samples from the far side of the moon. They were collected by the Chinese. I say Change 6 mission. I'm not sure what that is, but that was the moon mission that the Chinese did and they took samples from the far side and they have said, or they've been whatever, that 2.8 billion years ago the moon had volcanic activity, according to those samples. But the question that is to be had are you ready for this question?
Sunny:Oh, you're going to give it some conspiracy.
Bruce:You bet I am. Everybody just accepts oh, scientists have brought back samples and we've did this and we've did that. First of all, did we really go up there to begin with, and are they up there now on their mission, and how did they get those samples back? Anybody heard about any of that? I mean, nasa's even said we can't go up there and they don't know how we did it before, because they've lost all the records and all the mechanics to the time that we went up there before they were destroyed, I think is what the correct wording was. Think about that. A miracle, us getting up there back in what 69? And all that information has been destroyed. The videos were lost. It's just unbelievable. But anyway, if you believe that, so you know, there you go.
Bruce:2.8 billion years ago the moon had volcanic activity. Or is that all more lies? Just to get you thinking about all that lies? I don't know, I just thought that was interesting. Lies, I don't know, I just thought that was interesting. Once again, they come up with a, a story that goes back 2.8 billion years ago. They can't go back a thousand years, but they want us to remember and go back 2.8. Okay, anyway, uh.
Bruce:Next news headline, india successfully tested its first long-range hypersonic missile. That was on November 16, 2024. These missiles are faster times the speed of sound, more than 3,000 miles per hour, and they have a range of over 930 miles. They fly lower than a ballistic missile and they are harder to detect and intercept. And I think that the one that Russia used against the Ukraine here a while back was a new fangled type of hypersonic missile. I can't remember what they called that, but they just used that on Ukraine because Ukraine had shot some of our missiles into Russia's territory.
Bruce:So I think somebody's trying to get us involved in World War III. I don't know what you guys think, but anyway we try not to bring too much of that in there. It says India now joins, ready for this, the US, china and Russia, who have demonstrated hypersonic capabilities. Now there's more countries that have claimed, but those are the only ones that have demonstrated them. Cool huh, we might be able to do something neat like leave the Earth with those, but anyway, onward to the show, or with the show, or somehow with the show going somewhere.
Sunny:Oh boy, you get off on this weird stuff, don't you?
Bruce:I wouldn't use that point and phrase, but I do enjoy the not-so-normal news that have different headlines and we don't get bombarded with the garbage and negativity and all that stuff.
Sunny:Yeah, and you enjoy arguing with them too. Well, that could be, but anyhow do you enjoy arguing with them too.
Bruce:Well, that could be, but anyhow, do you guys own an iPhone? How many of you own an iPhone? Hold up your hands, okay, well, especially the ones without a headphone jack. You guys all bought into that. What Last two updates? And that, when they come out, maybe the third three updates.
Bruce:Anyhow, I hope you have a 3.5 millimeter lightning adapter already purchased, because supposedly iphone is going to quit making those. So what that means is that all the older iphones that can take, um, what is that called the lightning jack or the lightning adapter? Yeah, that's a lightning plug to charge it and to hook up your headphones and all that stuff. They're going to quit making those phones so they could. They're also going to quit making the adapter, which means you're going to be forced to update. So there's another. Most people update anyway in just a few years. But apple is now shifting away from its proprietary lightning port in favor of, ready for this, a USB-C jack. Yep, that's what Android's been using and most other companies, so the adapter may also be going away. That's what they said. That's a statement from iPhone. All right, more reasons to upgrade, right?
Bruce:Yeah, have you heard about the bomb cyclone that was in northwest, like in Washington State, oregon and Northern California, oregon and Northern California. It blew in with tremendous force and it had rain with it and stuff. There was like 500,000, 600,000 residents in the state of Washington. That was out of power. That was on 11-21. That was on 11-21. I haven't checked recently to see if there's any more news on that information, but it was wild. And then the northeast, like in New York, got a heavy snow just a couple days ago, I think. No, it's been a little bit longer than that, but they got a good heavy snow up there. So it looks like winter's starting in. We had the Rockies got hit and Denver not Denver but Colorado, maybe Denver too, I don't know, but anyway, looks like it's moving on in. I think we're supposed to, here in southern illinois, get some this weekend. Somebody said we might actually have a white thanksgiving. I hope not. There's going to be a lot of traveling. We'll go over that in a minute.
Bruce:But anyway, how about this news? The volcano in southwestern Iceland again began erupting on Wednesday night, which was 1120, and peaked around 2 am Thursday morning. The volcano has been long dormant around 800 years but this year has erupted several times. I think I wrote that down and I didn't verify it, but I was thinking it was the beginning of this year. Early year, like in the spring or something like that, it started erupting and it's erupted several times. So, yay, they had some pictures on the internet of the volcano spewing. It was kind of cool. Anyway, I like that interesting, though.
Bruce:Now another story of ancient water on mars. Guys, any of you guys seen that? All right. So it's been a a thing where there's been some different stories come out that mars, years ago, had water on it, and they've basically proven that by their means. Again, how do they know? But yep, mars' new. What the new curtain is that? Right University, I wrote that down and I don't think that's right.
Bruce:But anyway, they've led a study of the Black Beauty meteorite. Okay, so we've had NASA tell us that there's moisture and you know old river ducks and stuff on Mars. And now this Curtin University never even heard of that before has led a study of the Black Beauty meteorite. They found zircon grain and found geochemical fingerprints in this meteorite. It was rich with water floods or water-rich floods, whichever way you want to say that, and it was all elemental evidence. Get that. There wasn't straight-out water, it was elemental evidence and that's you ready for that? Zircon is a mineral and a gemstone found on Earth, but they're saying this meteorite came from Mars and Mars has had water because of this meteorite. Okay, another scientist told us it was so, so we're all going to believe it, right?
Sunny:Boy, you're on a roll with this conspiracy. I don't believe stuff.
Bruce:Well, I just think we take for granted. Every time a scientist says, or they say, a scientist says it and they come out with some study that says something's 2.5 million years old or 2.5 billion, or 2.8 billion, and hey, they had a study over here and it said this and then they come up with a rock that says the same thing, we're're all supposed to jump up and go Hallelujah, I believe it.
Sunny:Oh, boy, do that again.
Bruce:Hallelujah, I believe it.
Sunny:Oh, okay, so go on. This is getting interesting.
Bruce:Well, thank you. I'm glad I finally got somebody interesting. Now, if our listeners hasn't tuned out, fell asleep, maybe I'm gaining.
Sunny:You know I'm gaining right, all right.
Bruce:Do you guys remember the mini moon? All right, do you guys remember the mini moon? I talked about it a couple months ago when it first got in the news, where they first spotted it, and it was the first measurement that I found on the Internet. It was like 36 feet. And then, lo and behold, the next one I read said 33 feet. And then, lo and behold, the next one I read said 33 feet. And ever since then it was 33, 33, which I think is very weird when things get numbered to 33 or 66. It's kind of weird that they do that. But originally I think it started out 36., and I even wrote that down and told where I found it when I reported on it before. But anyway, now they're still claiming it's 33 feet, but it's bus size. Now I've never seen a 33-foot-long bus. But you know, they're saying it's the bus size asteroid. So we have a 33-foot bus-sized asteroid. Now you figure that out. Anyway, it supposedly got pulled in to the Earth's orbit about two months ago, but it wasn't pulled in quite enough to keep it locked in. So it's going to escape and it's leaving pretty soon.
Bruce:Now, what's this mean? I don't know. Don't know what it means. But what the interesting part of this story is they come up with now that it's on its way out. They've come up with the ability somehow to study it and scientists believe it could have been a chunk of our own moon. Really, somehow they studied this 33-foot-long or wide bus-size meteorite that's over a million miles away from us, or a billion, I don't remember the numbers. I think it was a million, two million, something like that. They somehow figured out a way to study that, get that information back to us and tell us they have found some substances in it that is similar to our moon. So they believe it comes from our moon, or part of it comes from our moon, or something like that. Anyway, that's what they believe. They're just again sharing a bunch of baloney to you because they're scientists, they've been educated, they can tell you what's right. There you go, believe it. Anyway, I found that interesting.
Sunny:Boy, you found a lot, didn't you?
Bruce:Yep. And again, scientists have compared that to samples they got from Russia and NASA. That collected these samples in the past, I guess when we went to the moon back in you know 69, and we couldn't have went to the moon, and I'm not sure how Russia got them, because I don't think Russia ever went, did they? But anyway, yeah, they did, supposedly. Okay, I won't get in trouble for all this. Let's just talk about the Americans going for Thanksgiving tomorrow and we'll just have to shut up after all this. But supposedly there's going to be 80 million Americans traveling over Thanksgiving weekend Now's what they just released and a record 71.7 million will travel by car. Is anybody going to be home to eat? That's a lot. I hate to see the highways during the holidays. That is crazy. But all right, let me repeat that 80 million Americans will travel over Thanksgiving weekend and a record 71.7 million will do that travel by car holy smokes.
Sunny:I think I'll take a flight and just see what the interstate looks like. Well, it's supposed they're probably traveling today, so they'll be where they want to be for dinner tomorrow, and then they'll stay saturday or friday and then they'll head back saturday or sunday. So I don't want to be on the road with you, bruce, today or Saturday and Sunday.
Bruce:Well, I'm glad you don't want to be, because I'm not going to be on the road either. Friday I'm going to be at work. I got to be there early. They want me there at six because they're going to get opened up at six. Yay for me. And then Friday, that's Friday. I get off. Saturday I go in at 1. So I'll just go from here to my work location and then Sunday. I don't know if I'm working Sunday or not, but either way I'm not going on the highway.
Sunny:Yeah, I don't blame, you. You, that sounds bad 80 million.
Bruce:Wow, yeah, that's what I thought when I read that. I mean, who, uh, that's, that's crazy. Anyway, what do you say? That's all folks.
Sunny:Hey, that's all folks.
Bruce:Yeah, yeah, we're going to shut her down. We want to wish everybody one more time. Let's say it together Ready, sonny.
Sunny:Yeah, I'm ready, let's do it All right, happy Thanksgiving.
Bruce:Yay, you just showed up there. You ended it too quick.
Sunny:I'm sorry I lost a little bit of a Never mind, I'll do better next time.
Bruce:Oh, that's all right. At least we did it. We want to thank everybody for being here and listening to this podcast. If you're listening to it today or on thanksgiving, we hope you're enjoying the day. And if you catch us later on, maybe like this weekend, or whenever you listen to it, we hope you had a good time. Safe time if you're traveling oh good grief, be careful. And if, if you have family members traveling, let's say a prayer for everybody. And again, if you're not one of those people that believe in prayer, hopefully you'll believe in positive thinking and positive. Just think positively, give out good vibes, whatever you want to call it, but let's get it together for everybody that's traveling. And if you're doing anything in the other countries as you're listening to this, I hope you enjoy it and I hope you have a good time and peace be with everyone, and I'm going to say goodbye to you all.
Sunny:Goodbye to all.
Bruce:Yep, goodbye, we enjoyed it. 73. And may the Father's blessing go with you.
Sunny:Alright, let's say it together Say bye, ready, bye, bye, hey Bruce. You know what you forgot what? Bye Ready, bye, hey Bruce. You know what you forgot.
Bruce:What'd I forget?
Sunny:You forgot to play the Morse code news thing before you started the seven-day corner.

Sunny:All right, I'll go for that. We'll say bye again, bye.
Bruce:All right, Bye everyone.
