Sonny: 2:20

But anyhow, I just say hello, happy new year. This is the time of year that you humans celebrate, or you're about to celebrate, or whatever.

Bruce: 2:36

You got that right. This is the time that we actually look forward into our future and we have hopes and dreams and we set goals and we make sure that, you know, we have all that moving going on for the new year. And then, once we faced a new year, we got that whole year to go ahead and it usually don't work out and we all get disappointed and grouchy and depressed and whatever else. But hey, it's all about the fun and games, right?

Sonny: 3:12

Yeah, if you want to say that, but anyhow, I don't have any goals. Do you have any goals?

Bruce: 3:22

Yeah, I have a goal I want to keep podcasting all right, me too, I like podcasting well, there you go. That's our goal. Uh, we'll just keep on doing what we're doing and maybe we'll get better.

I mean, you can do it financially, you can tell your friends about us, you might actually email us and give us ideas and thoughts and processes and all that stuff. But anyhow, support us. That's what we like, and I am Bruce.

Sonny: 4:00

And I am Sunny.

Bruce: 4:02

Yep, and we did this already.

Sonny: 4:05

Well, I thought we did.

Bruce: 4:07

We did. I'm just goofing off. I want to keep it short and sweet, but I want to have a little fun too.

Sonny: 4:13

All right, well, have we had fun.

Bruce: 4:21

Well, I think we grabbed a few seconds, maybe a minute, at some point out of each episode and I put it all together and that's going to be our summary for the year. Yay, we're doing what everybody else does. They do a summary for the year, and blah, blah, blah. Well, I did that too. We did it last year and the year before, but we did it this year. So you can hear some of our episodes. I'd like to say they was all funny, but they wasn't, but they was good. So look forward to that. It's coming right up just a second and then at the end of the show we're going to say Happy New Year, just like second. And then at the end of the show we're going to say Happy New Year, just like that. But I'm going to do it with Sonny and we're going to do it together and we're going to say 73 for the end of the year and we'll see you next year.

Sonny: 5:20

You just kind of spoiled that.

Bruce: 5:23

I did, didn't I.

Sonny: 5:25

Yeah, are we going to do it again. You betcha, we're going to do it again All right, I'll go for that, but we're going to do it together, right.

Bruce: 5:37

Yep At the end of the show. We're going to do that together and say goodbye to everybody for the end of the year.

Sonny: 5:50

Oh good grief, drama king I'm oh good grief.

Bruce: 5:52

yeah, okay, so we'll just go on with the show and we're going to enjoy the episode portions. We want everybody to enjoy those, and then we want everybody to have a good year. That's what we're here for. We're just here to wish you a great year coming up and a great end of year. So that transition you're getting ready to do, we hope it's great. We hope we don't get in trouble and go out and get to any kind of situations that will cause you problems later on through the year. Be careful, that's what we're saying.

Sonny: 6:39

Oh is that what we're saying. I think that's what you said, what I'm going to say is hey, enjoy the rest of the show and we'll see you at the end.

Bruce: 6:52

All right, I guess that's what you said. I'm going to drink my tea. That is hibiscus tea with honey and pepper I forgot what kind of pepper that is and cinnamon, and it takes a while to get used to drinking this, but hey, it's pretty good. Anyhow, let's go on with the show.

Sonny: 7:23

On with the show. Here we go, on with the show. On with the show.

Bruce: 7:26

Here we go, here we go if they like being called that. I really don't like being called a creator, I just like to be called a radio show host or something. But I always liked radio. In fact, I like music a lot. I wish I could produce a music show alongside my podcasting but, like I said before, that costs too much money. Alongside my podcasting but, like I said before, that costs too much money they want you to pay rights to play.

Sonny: 8:06

Figure it out. They didn't want to take a chance of being wrong.

Bruce: 8:09

Yeah, you're probably right, but we'll just have to go from here and see what happens. We'll just keep going and eventually somebody will guess it. Hopefully, the fun of it is trying to guess.

Speaker 4: 8:30

It's not getting the answer right because I tell you on the next episode, alicia decided that spending any more time at the archives was pointless, so she ordered room service, stayed in and searched the web looking for other incidents of people's memories not agreeing with historical records Several weeks after, but it was right around the eclipse.

Bruce: 9:00

So that brings us into the earthquakes, and there was a big, big earthquake, 7.4 to be exact, in Taiwan. It was on 42, so a couple days, three days ago.

Speaker 4: 9:20

What do you mean? What's going on? What have you been up to? Hanging out with Bruce, yeah, yeah. What else? Running some errands, a lot of them, a lot of them. Yeah, you had a half day today. Today I did have a half day. New album came out, yeah. Yeah, I've seen that.

Bruce: 9:45

Tell me about the new album, a big one. I just talk and make things up, you know. That way Nobody knows what's happening, like I do.

Speaker 4: 9:55

I just I try to think I'm I. If you ask me to tell you something interesting, I try to recap what happened to me this week until next time, we'll try to line it out a little bit better.

Bruce: 10:11

or not, we'll have to see, or not, we'll have to see.

Sonny: 10:20

Other than that, I think. What do you mean, other than that that was a big other?

Bruce: 10:30

And I'd like to thank everybody that fought in the wars and they had power and they you wouldn't believe the line they had because they were one of the few places that had power and they said there that, uh, people were just driving around getting food and drinks because that's all they could do because they didn't have power, contact stuff. And if you want to spend a lot of money, you can get that new uh pro uh road you bet, you will I win, I win, I win, I win Yay.

Speaker 4: 11:22

Can be devastating if it hits in the right spot. So Okay, I think it's funny, Knock knock.

Bruce: 11:30

Who's there?

Speaker 4: 11:31

Weirdo.

Bruce: 11:32

Weirdo who.

Speaker 4: 11:36

Where do?

Sonny: 11:37

you think you're going and have some more fun.

Bruce: 11:40

It is like 93 outside, though it's hot, oh my goodness, I don't think I could have you do that again if I wanted to. But yeah, it's very hot and we have been rolling over contemplating some things and I thought maybe me and you could discuss them until we're done until we're done we're not going to edit anything the only time that we stopped was just to let the air conditioner play. Where are you going?

Speaker 4: 12:21

It's a brand new school. I've never been there before, I mean the only.

Bruce: 12:24

It's sixth grade, right yeah.

Speaker 4: 12:25

The only places I've been there is to get a tour of it and for the dance team, all right.

Sonny: 12:33

We'll prepare together.

Bruce: 12:36

Oh no, I don't think so.

Sonny: 12:39

Oh, come on, you know I can help you.

Bruce: 12:42

Uh well, I'm not going to call that help, but okay, We'll see what happens, all right?

Sonny: 12:49

Okay, okay, uh, I don't call a dentist, I don't have dentist teeth, I mean. You know what I mean.

Bruce: 13:00

You don't have dentist teeth. Oh boy, that's the best joke of the day.

Sonny: 13:11

Hey, don't laugh at me.

Speaker 4: 13:13

Yeah, and I have a joke too. All right, joke me up. I think this one should make sense this time.

Bruce: 13:22

So this asteroid, supposedly, are you ready for this? This second moon that we're going to see? This asteroid is what this paper says 37 feet in diameter, yeah, 37 feet, about the size of a huge bus, and it's going to be out there. Wait, look, I got this wrote down. I wrote it down right from the article. Okay, sorry about that noise. I wrote this down from the article and it's going to orbit about you, ready for this? 2.6 million miles away, and they say it's 37 feet in diameter or 11 meters. It's 37 feet in diameter or 11 meters.

Sonny: 14:25

But without more observations and data they won't know, for sure to confirm its size yeah maybe that'll help you.

Bruce: 14:30

Grouchy. What do you mean Grouchy? Well, you sound like you are. Well? No, I think we're good. Thank you, we'll see what happens. So there you go. Maybe Sonny is really a shapeshifter.

Sonny: 14:51

Maybe, or maybe he's just a weirdo.

Bruce: 14:56

Ha, ha ha ha. Oh, you're saying you're a weirdo. I like that. That's kind of unique. Maybe you are. That's what he's so excited about. He's back on his original mic and he's sounding really good, don't you guys think?

Sonny: 15:14

I am sounding good. Thank you, Bruce, for that. I appreciate that.

Bruce: 15:20

Well you are. You're sounding good and clear. You're not too high-pitched. Like you were there for a while we might believe you're almost human, or something.

Sonny: 15:33

Oh, don't ruin my day, I am not nowhere either way able to say I'm human, I may be alien. Okay, I see it's at the bottom of the page. No wonder you hid it from me so I wouldn't see it. But anyway, here we go, fellas and ladies and everybody in between, for the joke of the day. Where did people hang out during medieval times?

Bruce: 16:14

Where did people hang out during medieval times? Interesting Pubs. They hung out in pubs, I don't know. You tell me the answer. Where did people hang out during medieval times?

Sonny: 16:43

Well, at nightclubs, of course, that's night n-i-g-h-t See, get it, uh huh, get it, uh-huh, get it. Um, I think you drained everybody of any brain willpower. You're just blah, blah, blah. What are we gonna do now? Good grief, that was a bummer, boring bummer.

Bruce: 17:21

Nope, not really, but I do think there's something more to be concerned about besides a bunch of drones flying over let's. Don't bore you to death with that.

Sonny: 17:34

Oh yeah, let's bore him to death, so I can hear him snoring. You know what oh, that was good. There we go. That's a neat story actually Instead of having a Christmas tree, we have a Christmas car A new tradition.

Bruce: 18:02

There you go, a new tradition. Well, I hope you guys all enjoyed that few minutes of weirdness as we broke down each episode. I think we left a couple off because they were real short, but we included most of them and we hope you have a good ending year celebration and a good year next year and it's right around the corner. We hope it's good. We pray that it's good for everybody, that we will get things in control, we will wake up as a country, as a world, and we'll start treating people like they should be treated, not like enemies. So, with that said, are you ready, sonny?

Sonny: 18:58
