Bruce:

well, hello everyone. This is bruce. I'm with the ugly quacking duck and we have sunny with us hello everyone.

Sunny:

I'm sunny and I'm with every quacking duck too, and you are listening to us live on Instagram, I hope.

Bruce:

Yep, I hope to. Hi Sunny, hi Bruce, all right, yeah, this is a new setup we've got running. To do Instagram, I had to do video. Uh, to do instagram, I had to do video. And to do video, I had to hook up all my video equipment again and, um, I'm out of practice. I used to put it on twitch and play my games and all that fun stuff.

Sunny:

so I'm out of practice oh, I only see my duck side.

Bruce:

Oh yeah, that's the duck, the ugly quacking duck portrait that I've got up there right now. And hang on, I'll switch and give everybody a good shot of us. Let's see, let's do the camera shot. Here we go. Hi everybody, this is Bruce and I hope you're doing good and I hope you enjoy this live today. I'm not going to leave it on that, though you know I don't want to be live. So there you go. You see my ugly mug and we're just going to leave it off, okay.

Sunny:

Okay, you seem ugly mug and we're just going to leave it off, okay, okay. Well, I think that's a good deal you about broke that camera, bruce.

Bruce:

Well, thank you for letting everybody know that. Anyhow, we are live today and it is friday, april the 11th, and it is 403 pm, central Time here in the Midwest, in Southern Illinois. We're coming from our studio in the Mount Vernon area and we are glad to be aboard and what we're going to do today. We're only going to stay about 15 minutes. We don't want to keep it very much longer and I forgot to hit record on my mixer so I lost about the first few minutes of that, but hopefully the audio will come out good on my other program and we'll be able to snatch that. Anywho, hope everybody had a good week.

Bruce:

Uh, today's friday, yay. Uh, it is the one day off I've got and I try to utilize it to get work done around the house and to do podcasting. However, I spent the whole morning trying to get the equipment set back up because I wanted to do live on a social media account and this is the one I could do it free on. I have a few followers. They'll have to get used to me being on there, but hopefully I will be able to get more people involved as we go.

Sunny:

That's the plan oh, as we go, you plan on doing this more often, are you bruce?

Bruce:

yes, I am. Uh, hopefully we'll do it quite a bit more often. Uh, we'll have to see. There I can hear myself now. I had to turn my headphones up.

Sunny:

You know, you had that problem when we was testing and you couldn't hear yourself and you forgot to turn the headphones on.

Bruce:

I did. Yeah, I did, but I've got them on now and I've got them on now and I've got the audio turned up so I can hear myself and I can tell I'm actually talking. Yay, I'm going across the air, so to speak. It's actually across the wire. But, anyhow, if you're tuning in with us on Instagram which I hope you are you will have to comment on us, let us know what you're hearing. But I will type out a message here for later on, in case anybody sees me, for later on, in case anybody sees me.

Bruce:

But we want to welcome everybody, whether you're hearing this and seeing it on Instagram or if you are listening to it on our regular podcast, which we will finish recording later on. Hopefully, we'll start getting a little bit more people, um, acquainted with our live and we'll get some more stuff locally. That's the plan and, uh, I want to go check my instagram account on my phone and see if it even shows the live, because it's supposed to. This is supposed to be a public live and we'll just have to see. I just got a notice that Mark's following me. So hello, mark, if you're on the live. If you're not, I'll catch you up next time. But just in case, let me get the message across to Mark. I mean just because he followed us a little bit.

Sunny:

You've been goosed by the ugly quacking duck. I like that. That's a good one.

Bruce:

Yep, that was neat, wasn't it? We like doing that, we like keeping everybody acquainted with our things that we do. But anyhow, we should be live. I don't see it. I don't know how we're supposed to see it, but uh, there we go. Uh, we got it going anyhow.

Bruce:

Uh, what do we think about the weather? It's been kind of weird up and down this week. Uh, cold in the mornings. In fact I had frost on my windows. What? Three times this week, I think maybe twice.

Bruce:

I need to start keeping a journal because the weather is so crazy and uh, it's, it's been weird and we've had rain off and on for two days, three days maybe. Again, I need to keep a journal so I can actually report the news accurately. But what we've got today is a little bit nicer weather. It's been sunny and then it's's been cloudy, but we don't have rain and there's blooms. I've got a tree and I don't remember what the name of that tree is, but it's got white flowers and it blooms once a year and it's beautiful and it's got green leaves on it and it's blooming right now and my yard needs to be mowed.

Bruce:

I was going to set up a camera to shoot out the window and I thought I can't find my camera for one thing, and then I couldn't find any thing to shoot. It stand it up with my tripod's gone, my camera's gone. I think it's stored in a special place, but I'm not sure, um, but anyhow, we are uh watching this and seeing what's happening. I have uh uh been paying attention to the weather and it's really clouding up out there, sun's kind of gone away, but however, thanks to all weather and it's really clouding up out there, sun's kind of gone away, but however, thanks to all that rain and the grass growing, I have a whole bunch of dandelion blooms out there. I mean a whole bunch. They just come up overnight. So after I do this live, I'm going to go out there and pick a bunch of them, boil them and make me some dandelion tea. It's good stuff, good for your body and it is good. That's what the plan is.

Sunny:

Oh boy, can I go out and pick with you?

Bruce:

I don't know if you can do any picking there, Mr Frog.

Sunny:

Well, I've got a long tongue, I can get some bugs.

Bruce:

Alright, well, you can go with me, I don't mind.

Sunny:

Yay, Hip, hip hooray.

Bruce:

Okay, are you going to morph into something else one of these days?

Sunny:

I just might, but I'm not telling until we do it.

Bruce:

All right. Well, that was still pretty cool. If you haven't seen that or heard that audio, you ought to go back and look. So it was neat. I enjoyed it quite a bit. We had it happen. What was that? Two podcasts ago, I think. Yeah, I think you're right for once. Oh, thank you very much. Hey, let's go to the weather. Want to we have some good weather happening somewhere, not sure where, but on my weather um channel.

Bruce:

I will pull it up. Let me see if I know how to do this now. Let's see. You got to bear with me.

Bruce:

I'm not used to this equipment anymore. I used to use it all the time and then I quit using it for obvious reasons. I quit gaming on twitch, but now I am doing it again and I had to get used to everything. So it's kind of kind of confusing. And my camera on my setup it's a virtual camera that I pull everything up with in OBS to run on Riverside so I can broadcast a live show and it's all backwards. Ha ha, that's funny, but anyway, if you read backwards, that's where I'm on on and I am going to pull up it's 53 degrees in mount vernon, so it's close to that here.

Bruce:

Uh, let me look it up. I can look up my outside thermometer and see what it is. Maybe, if I can find it Hope you're not waiting for a good answer it is 55 degrees out here in the neck of the woods, so, hey, it's a little bit warmer and we like that. Now you're talking about a comparison. We're going to compare it to Phoenix, arizona, and it's right now 95 degrees. Wow, wouldn't you like to be there? Hot Humidity today. Can't talk either.

Sunny:

Yeah, I heard that about you Can't walk, can't talk, can't think. What are you good for, Bruce?

Bruce:

Wow, I don't know what to say about that.

Sunny:

I know Don't say anything.

Bruce:

Okay, back to the weather. It's 53 degrees in the Mount Vernon area, 60 degrees humidity, the wind's blowing 8 miles an hour and the air quality is 67. That's probably because of all that pollen we've got. I know I'm one of those that has a lot of problems with allergies Not as bad as most, but yeah, this is a bad season for allergies, really, really bad. And in phoenix, arizona, the humidity is only nine percent. Way to go desert. The wind's two miles an hour so they're not getting much cooling for that 95 degree weather and the air quality is 28, so it's dry and dry.

Bruce:

We're gonna go back and look at the details. Okay, for mount vernon tonight it's supposed to be 33 degrees, partly cloudy. The wind's supposed to blow north to northeast, around 10 or 15 miles an hour, decreasing to less than five miles per hour later on that evening. Yay, moon rise is supposed to be at 6 30 pm and the moon set is supposed to be at 5 43 am. Yeah, there you go. So right now we're having wind north to northeast at 10 miles an hour so and I'm sure it's not quite the same out here. But anyway, there you go, we're going to go back and we're going to compare that to to Phoenix Arizona. Are you ready for this? It just jumped up to 100 degrees. So Phoenix I learned to talk.

Bruce:

Phoenix Arizona is now 100 degrees. Wow, winds are west at 5 to 10 miles an hour. So the winds increased a little bit Tonight. They're only going to get down to 67, so they're going to be warmer tonight than we are right now in Mount Vernon area. Can you believe that? I think we're getting ripped off. Maybe we ought to go south what is that southwest? And get some warm air and bring it back.

Bruce:

Tonight's supposed to be a clear sky. In Phoenix Arizona the low's supposed to be 67. The winds are going to be southeast at 5 to 10 miles an hour. I think that's their normal thing on here, because that's what they said about Mount Vernon, also on here because that's what they said about malvern and also, but anyhow, sunrise was at 602 and sunsets at 656, and the moon rise will be at 603 pm and the moon set will be at 518 am. There you go. That's the local and Phoenix Arizona weather. This has been brought to you by Bruce at the Ugly Quacking Duck and Sonny at the Ugly Quacking Duck and I'm liking this live stuff.

Bruce:

And why is that? Because you can't shut me off. Oh yeah, I can Watch this. Oh, there you go, Say something.

Sunny:

Hey, I don't hear you. That's no fair.

Bruce:

Oh, there I am. You better quit doing that.

Sunny:

Why. I think it's kind of funny. I don't. I couldn't hear myself in the headphones and nobody else could hear me, could they Bruce? Yep, brooke, brooke, I'm going to start calling you Brooke again, brooke.

Bruce:

Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, oh my gosh.

Sunny:

Now you sound like a little chicken, oh.

Bruce:

I'll chicken you, brooke, all right, now I've made you mad, all right. Well, I would apologize, but nope, I don't think I will.

Sunny:

Oh, you're a brat and a bum and a slacker. You're a slacker.

Bruce:

Well, thank you for all that, but, sonny, I do enjoy having you here and having you talk, so I like live also. They can see how human we are when we're doing live speak for yourself, you ready all right, I will.

Bruce:

Okay, now we'll go back to uh the program and we always like to do the earthquakes. So we're going to do the earthquakes this week and I've already brought it up on the screen and, as you can tell, we've got it set for seven days. So now that I've got it on the screen, sonny, you can't guess.

Sunny:

Well, I know I can see the screen too, Duh.

Bruce:

Yep, all right. So if you look over here, here I'm going to set everything up, but it is seven days, all magnitudes and the total, and I forgot my book. Hang on, I'm gonna put it on pause. Oh no, I'm not, I don't have a pause. Can you hear that? Yeah, that's a book I forgot to get out, so I had to give some dead silence as I got it out. But here we go, let me get my pencil. Yeah, and we was at on four. Four, we was at all of them.

Bruce:

All magnitudes was at 2201, and sunny almost guessed it on the nose, but not quite. He was at 2100, I think, so he was a little bit low. Anyhow, this week they're at a little bit lower, not much 2150. So, uh, we had a little bit less earthquakes this week, which is a good thing. However, I'm kind of looking for something bad to happen. The way it's rained and they had these storms, especially up the Midwest around the New Madrid, I had to get my tongue tied or untied New Madrid fault. Well, it's really worrying me that we might have an earthquake here soon. I hope not. I'm not in control of that, so don't trust me. But on the 11th, which is today I'm marking it right now on the paper we had 2150 all magnitudes, which is a little bit lower, and I'm going to switch it now to the 2.5 earthquakes. So the 2.5 earthquakes was 287 287.

Sunny:

Can I get a clap? No, don't do't do that, but anyway, what was it last week?

Bruce:

well, I'm glad you asked, sonny. Last week it was 297, so that's where they're down, right there. Yay, yay. Well, that's a good sign, I think. 297, and we're at 287 now. But what happened to the earthquakes that are 4.5 and bigger? They were 116 last time, which was 4-4. So seven days, the last seven days, they went to. Are you ready for this? 118. So they actually went up. So that means we have to look at the.

Bruce:

I don't type down or add or list. How am I going to put that? I don't list anything that's over or under a 6.0 and over that, because there's too many. You're talking about 118 and there's a very few. Usually that's 6.0 and I'm scrolling down through the list. Right now you can see it on the screen, even though it's backwards and I apologize for that. I'll try to get that worked out. Maybe, uh, what it is, I can. I can adjust the camera on the OBS program, but when I put it on virtual so that the Riverside can use it, it's backwards.

Bruce:

Now I tried to use the OBS while I was setting this mess up today. That's what took me so long to get it set up. I was working on OBS and using it and I thought that would work great. You know, I really did. I thought it would be awesome and we would be able to use that and it worked great and I could do all my um other camera views with it. However, the audio wasn't coming off of it very loud. I mean, it was not loud at all and I don't know why that was um it, just it was low. And I turned the the mic up all the way and I turned the uh computer import mic up all the way to where I imported it into the program and it didn't make it loud enough and it made it blurry, it made it too hot but not loud. So I don't know what the problem is. It's something to do with the output on OBS. So I'm going to have to work on that. If I can get that to work, I won't have to go through Riverside anymore. I'll just have to remember to hit record when I do that. And I haven't seen any comments, so I probably don't have anybody on our live catching this. So boo-hoo.

Bruce:

Anyhow, I will scroll down through this. Anyhow, I will scroll down through this. And I did not see anything that was 6.0 or above. So they're all fives. There's a bunch of fives. There's a 5.6, a 5.5, 5.1s. There's a bunch of fives and then there's a bunch of fours. So the fours usually don't cause too much damage. The fives can. It's according to where they're at and if they're in a lot of population with buildings and stuff, and a lot of the buildings are built now to withstand bad earthquakes. Now here's a 5.8 in Indonesia. They get hit all the time. So there's quite a few and I could name them all and spend a lot of time and I don't want to do that. I want to keep the live short for now. When I start getting a better audience, I may just do the whole podcast live and hopefully we'll be able to get people to comment and be part of that exercise. We'll just have to see. But for now, that's the earthquake report for the last seven days, and I am Bruce.

Sunny:

And I am Sunny.

Bruce:

And we are glad you come aboard to the live and we hope you enjoy listening to it on our podcast. So we're going to say adios, see you next time, or hear you. Yeah, you'll get to see us too, let's see. Let me go back to my program and I'll say bye the good old fashioned way. Here we go. We're going to the camera fading out, hi bye. Let's say bye there. Uh, ugly quacking duck. Sunny, you ready for that? And that's backwards too, but that's the only quacking duck yeah, I'm ready to say bye okay, I'm gonna count it off.

Bruce:

Three, two, one. All right, that's very good. Stay tuned for our, our podcast, everyone. If you're listening to this on the podcast already, well, we're back and we did the live and we're going to finish up the podcast and talk a little bit about news and what's happening in life. I hope everybody's doing good about news and what's happening in life. I hope everybody's doing good. We are pretty level on things at work. We haven't had any big interruptions this week to speak of anyway, and hopefully we won't have any more like we did a couple weeks ago.

Sunny:

That was kind of not interesting, but it broke the monotony for sure. Yeah, I hear what you say, Bruce, and thinking about how you think about that stuff, it must have been kind of wild.

Bruce:

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but we won't talk a bit more about that. I'm going to put my little notebook up for the earthquake, because we did that on the live, we don't have to do it again, and we're going to go over a little bit of news. We don't have a whole lot going on today, so we won't have a whole lot to talk about, but we are going to work towards hopefully, maybe next week we may have an interviewee that we're going to do an interview with and talk about some things and just give it a little bit of a change to our podcast, hopefully.

Sunny:

Hopefully, hopefully, see, I can do it too.

Bruce:

You're a copy.

Sunny:

What happened to your mic? Are you still there, bruce? Hello Bruce, your mic's not working, it's still not working.

Bruce:

Oh, there, it is Okay. I don't know what happened. Maybe I need to start slapping it around a little bit.

Sunny:

Maybe that's what you already did. You just smacked it too many times, buddy just smacked it too many times, buddy.

Bruce:

Well, I don't smack my radio around, but uh, that could have happened anyway. Um, we'll just have to see when I get off here if, uh, there's something loose or I bump something, don't know what's going on. I don't know if you noticed on the video that we did live, if anybody's seen it and you're not going to get to see it on the podcast, that's only live because we're on instagram. But uh, I had my green screen. Um, it's a, it's basically just a sheet that I went out and purchased years ago, cause I didn't have any money and, uh, hung it up on two hooks and I can hang it up and bring it down.

Bruce:

So I had it up, was in all intentions of going with a green screen on OBS, but, uh, I couldn't get the audio loud enough. Um, so I couldn't get the green screen to work, which was kind of a bummer. But hopefully I'll get that to work and maybe I can incorporate what I've got on the camera or not on the camera on the monitor behind me, like them other guys do. I did that once or twice before and it worked pretty good when the green screen part worked, but I'll have to work on that, so we are finishing up our podcast.

Sunny:

Uh, this is bruce and I'm sunny for the hundredth time.

Bruce:

Oh, don't exaggerate, it was only 99.99.

Sunny:

Oh, good grief, You're as bad as I am.

Bruce:

No, you're as bad as I am.

Sunny:

Whatever?

Bruce:

Okay, we keep each other on our toes, don't we there?

Sunny:

Maybe, maybe our toes, don't we there? Um, maybe I'm not afraid to go with you on anything you say.

Bruce:

Well, that's probably a good idea. Anyhow, this is the 105th let me look, yep, 105th episode for our podcast and we started with the live this time and we'll probably do that again. I kind of like doing that. It makes for a good beginning for the show. However, I may change it.

Sunny:

Oh my goodness, Can you make up your mind?

Bruce:

I can, but I don't want to. That's the fun of doing a podcast. I can just do whatever I want until somebody don't like it, no more.

Sunny:

Yeah, you're going to run your whole audience off the one person that you have.

Bruce:

Oh yeah, that reminds me I'm going to start calling this the worst podcast in the world Maybe the known universe, that's even better.

Sunny:

There's your mic. It went dead again, and good grief. What are you trying to say? Worse, we're not that bad is it back?

Bruce:

okay, it's back. I'm going to have to work on that. That's getting annoying, cutting out right when I'm talking. But yeah, the worst podcast in the known universe. That's what we are. So that means we can. Anything above that can get better right. So all I have to do and improve one thing, improve, improve something else and we get better. There you go. So hey, it's a good thing, and you know we'll set the standards so low. Everybody will be happy when they hear it because they'll say, ah, that can't be the worst.

Sunny:

Oh boy, I don't know what to think about you, Bruce.

Bruce:

Yeah, I don't either. You know what? I've got that window open over there and it's getting kind of cold in the studio. I might shut that window. But anyhow, 105th episode of the worst podcast in the known universe, the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast. There you go, that's it. We got it made.

Bruce:

Now let's talk a little bit about NASA, shall we? There's been a lot of conspiracies about what NASA really is or is not, and I don't want to field that argument at this time. That could fill up a whole podcast three or four times. But what I want to do is talk about how they have. Let me see if I can find the article to say it exactly like they did. But the article actually talks about a destruction of a planet. Yeah, that's right, they have seen a star get brighter at one time. And let me see, yeah, there we go.

Bruce:

Nasa's Webb's autopsy of a planet swallowed by star yields surprise, field, surprise, and uh, they actually had a picture on here of this planet rotating around this star. And then it gets engulfed and the star it kind of brightens and it's got a halo around it as it brightens and then it's got a ring around the star that has, uh, I guess the junk left over from the planet being eight, and which is all really good. But if you look at the pictures, it says artist's concept, so they don't really have pictures of this star or of this planet. What they have is an artist that has drawn these pictures out. But apparently they thought this star that had brightened was turning into oh, I can't remember what it was. Now I read this article and it's been a little bit ago, and they thought it was turning into a supernova or something like that to that effect.

Bruce:

And when they got the view from the NASA's Webb's telescope, they found that it hadn't turned into that, but it had ate up this planet that had been circulating around it, or orbiting in, as they call it, for like a millions of years. And I'm not sure how they come up with that, because they didn't say anything about knowing the planet was there. And then it's not there. Uh, I don't get any of this. But where? Where it's come up from? However, this is what they're believing that this thing did not turn into, didn't have enough brightness to turn into what they were thinking at the beginning.

Bruce:

But when they discovered the, the picture, which is an artist concept, I even downloaded the bigger picture, which it had a link to do that. And it has this awesome looking picture and lo and behold, down on the right edge corner however you want to say it in quite a big, big print it says artist's concept. In other words, this is not a real image, this is something they dreamed up and made an artist picture of it. How interesting is that? So I you know, seeing that and the misleading, how it misleads the um viewer, I'm not sure I even trust their statement about the whole thing, about the whole star.

Bruce:

Kind of strange, anyhoo, take it as you like, but NASA's saying this star ate up the planet that had orbited it for millions of years and now they can see the trail of a leftover planet and they know that's what that is. So if you want to go to sciencenasagov missions web and NASA's web autopsy of a planet swallowed by a star yields surprise, you can find the article. Autopsy of a planet swallowed by a star yields surprise. You can find the article. Or just do a search for NASA's web the autopsy of a planet swallowed by a star yields surprise, and that should bring you up to the article. And lo and behold, we're talking about stars and science fiction. Oh, wait a minute. Did I say that?

Sunny:

Yes, you did Science fiction.

Bruce:

Oh, wait a minute did I say that, yes, you did science fiction. Well, maybe I just meant to say let's talk about science fiction, shall we? Yeah, let's talk about science fiction all article. But they have ranked the best science fiction movies of all time. Now, I like science fiction. It kind of drags you out of the normal news cycle and the normal new world cycle so and you get to believe in things it's not real, kind of like nasa does. Oh, did I say that? I better watch that?

Sunny:

oh, good grief, quit playing around all right, I'll try Anyhow.

Bruce:

This article is pretty neat, but I was curious to see how they ranked it and I'm really not sure, but the number one listing, for it starts out at 100. So they've got 100 of the top sci-fi movies of all time and I think the 100th one would be the worst one. And then it goes down through the list till you get to number one. I think that's where they where they did this. There's not a good explanation, but if 100 is the top dog, they definitely got the wrong one. But it's a good movie. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed it. However, it's not the top dog of all, but Independence Day 100th come out in 1996. That's their movie and it says 100, so I guess that is the least favorite or the least movie it says. And so we begin. We're all lists of great science fiction must, with Will Smith punching an alien in the mouth. Yeah, that was pretty cool. And then to name the next one down, 99 is movie to come out in 2021. Boy, I can't talk. And it's dune dune, not the old one. I've seen the old one and then I've seen the new one. This is the newer one, the old one, I can't remember when it and then I seen the new one this is the newer one, the old one I can't remember when it come out, but it's been a quarter wall back, um. But this one would come from a 1965 novel and it's not bad. I enjoyed it. It's pretty, actually it's pretty good. But uh, they said that's number 99. So let's scroll on down.

Bruce:

One of my favorites not the favorite, I've got a lot of favorites but it's Serenity, and they made a series called it wasn't Serenity? What was that series called? Now, I can't think of it. I should have looked it up, but anyway, it was about this show and, um, then they finally made a movie about this show, brought it all together. But serenity is a really good sci-fi movie. It's kind of based, um, it's based in outer space, about a cowboy type personality running a ship that does all kinds of stuff and a lot of, a lot of it's illegal and he takes on a bunch of misfits to help him run the ship and that's what the movie's about. And one of them's a girl that has been. She's very smart, she's a young girl and as she was growing up she was taken to a special school to be taught special things and what they did was experiments on her and made her a killing machine. So that kind of comes out during the movie. But hey, it's a pretty good movie.

Bruce:

If you haven't seen Serenity, go look it up. And they've got many more listed on here. And I don't know how many people watched the black black panther, which was a really good show. I enjoyed that a lot. Um, and it was rated at 92. So if that's coming down from the bottom of the list, that's pretty darn good because it's away from the list. But if it's going up no, I said that wrong if it's coming down from the bottom of the list, that's not real good because it's only got 92. If it's um, 100 is the top of the list and it's not too bad. It's up there pretty close, but I don't know how they're rating it. I'm afraid that this is towards the bottom. They have a couple animated or cartoon-style sci-fi movies on the list and then they have Avatar from 2009. I really enjoyed that movie. They rated it at 77. So there you go. I'm not sure how they're rating these, but I don't want to get into that.

Bruce:

And that 76, which come out in 2016, their rival, and if you're not seeing that one, you need to watch that one. That was really good, really really good, really good, um, really really good. And then at 75, one of my one of my favorite shows is star wars. Yep, episode four, the return of the jedi, and uh, all the star wars series is good. They had rogue listed farther down. I didn't read it off, but all the. I don't care what the Star Wars is. I like that thought process and the way they put it together, from the beginning show to all the shows that come afterwards. Some of them are better than others, but I still like them. I won't put any of them down.

Sunny:

What you saying, bruce?

Bruce:

that you're a sci-fi junkie all right, um, and then 70 this is going to kill my stepdaughter. She loves this movie. 70 from 2008 is iron man. Let's give it a clap, and that's just for her, in case she's listening. And not at all. Sci-fi is about space, coming in at 52, from 1987, predator Now, if you have not seen it, surely you've seen that movie.

Bruce:

But if you haven't, go watch that man. It's got a neat alien on it and Arnold Schwarzenegger, when he was younger, played the bad guy that went against him. It's a good movie, coming in at 48, ghostbusters, from 1984. That was a great movie too, and the one I've been waiting to say from 1997, coming in at 42. The Fifth Element, now that movie I've watched over and over and over. It's got good music with it and it's kind of silly. It's serious but silly, and I really enjoy it. It's one of silly. It's serious but silly and I really enjoy it. It's one of those movies that I can turn it on, just kind of fall asleep, and it's just great. This is my go-to movie when I just don't want nothing that I have to think very hard about. It's a great movie. Go watch it if you haven't ever seen it.

Bruce:

And one more movie I want to announce before I go down to number one. This is a 1988, 41. I've got this on. I did have it on videotape and I burned it on a DVD. This is a one-of-a-kind movie that a lot of people like to talk about when they're talking about conspiracies. But it's they live awesome movie. Got to go see it. Got a wrestler in it, all right, one more. I mean there's so many on here that I, like I would like to tell you all of them, but I don't want to bore you to death.

Bruce:

But back to the future. From 1985, comes in at 21, and if you'd like to see jeff goldblum when he was very young, go to what. Number 19 from 1986, the fly yep, he played in that. It's pretty wicked show. But anyhow, let's go down all the way down to one. Uh, star wars is at number six, aliens at five, close encounters of the third kind at four. Three, alien two, blade runner the original one, and then number one. Are you ready for this? Take a guess, sonny no, I'm not guessing.

Sunny:

You yeah, you, um. No, I'm not the sci-fi buff you are, so go ahead tell us alright, number one come out in 1968.

Bruce:

I've got this one as a collection too. They've got another one, 2010. But this is 2001,. A Space Odyssey it was done by Stanley Kubrick. He brought out details that we didn't dream of having back then when he brought it out. Like I said, it would come out in 1968. It's a fantastic movie. It's got telecommunications in it with video. They did not have that, or we were told they didn't have it, in 1968. But anyhow, TV dinners you need to watch it and pick up all that stuff. It's kind of cool. Well, I'll quit boring you to death with sci-fi.

Sunny:

Oh, I liked it. Maybe somebody out there liked it too.

Bruce:

Yeah, well, I like sci-fi. In fact, I got another story. I've got to finish here sometime. I started and I played it on my podcast. I couldn't read it very well. I was a bad reader. I can write that stuff, but when I couldn't read it very well, I was a bad reader. I can write that stuff, but when I try to read it for an audience, I don't do very well. I get tongue-tied. So before I close, I'd like to it's Easter coming up in the next. They're saying it's on the 20th, but I don't believe that's when it really happened.

Bruce:

But anyway, I want to read a Bible verse to you. It's out of the NIV version and this is the time when Yeshua Yahuwah no, let me say this right Yahusha, yahusha, there you go. I'm sorry, forgive me was taken before Pilate and he was questioned in what they did. So what they did, yeah, the priest basically took him up to the governor and the governor took him to Pilate and Pilate questioned him and he didn't find any fault in him. So he asked the members there, the high priest and some of the crowd that was brought to him who they wanted to release him, or barbarous, or barb of you know the story. I can't say words very well sometimes, anyhow. Anyhow, what happened is they said they wanted Yahusha kept and Barabbas freed, and Pilate, being afraid of the crowd being upset, went ahead and handed him over to be crucified. So he turned him over to the soldiers and the soldiers basically took, like I said, this coming out of NIV. They stripped him, put a scarlet robe on him and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. Hail, king of Jews. They spit on him and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. Now I read this many, many times and I've heard it preached many, many times, but the thought never really occurred to me when they said they knelt in front of him and mocked him. Hail, king of the Jews. They said.

Bruce:

And it just struck me that they had this man bound, had a thorn crown on his head and they was mocking him saying you know, king of Jews.

Bruce:

Him saying you know, king of jews. And my thought was immediately one day he will be back, and whether it's in our lifetime or not doesn't matter, because all eyes, the bible says we'll see him. All knees will, all will bow to him, even if you're past already, you're no longer with us, you're going to see him. Every eye will see him and they, you know, they may have bowed down to another man and gave him all their worship and all their money and whatever, but when this person shows back up and says it's over and it will really be over and we will all be gathered together to be judged, there's not going to be no mocking. That person, that person is going to have control. That person is going to have the might and when he comes back, he's not going to be holding a staff in his right hand that he was beat with, he's going to have the sword of truth and I pity any of us that doesn't look to him now, before he comes back then. That's all I got to say about that, folks.

Sunny:

There you go Saying that again I need to watch that movie.

Bruce:

Yeah, I can't believe you caught that last time I said that and you hadn't watched that movie really weird. Anyway, this is the ugly quacking duck. We're gonna say good evening, bid you all farewell.
