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
We might be the worst podcast in the universe, but we're having the most fun.
We're broadcasting live from our southern Illinois studio with our signature blend of weather reports, earthquake statistics, and delightfully chaotic conversation!
As storm clouds gather overhead, we compare our local weather (76 degrees with 67% humidity) with Phoenix, Arizona, and discover some surprising similarities between the Midwest and the desert Southwest. The conversation naturally drifts to recent tornado activity and the storm chasers who risk everything to capture nature's fury on camera – including one who came face-to-face with a tornado while others had their windshields shattered by massive hail.
Our weekly earthquake report reveals 2,281 total earthquakes worldwide over the past seven days (up from 2,150 last week), with the most significant being a 6.6 magnitude event in the Southern East Indian Ridge and a 6.5 near Fiji. Bruce and Sunny (who has mysteriously transformed from a duck into a frog) take turns guessing the weekly numbers before revealing the actual statistics.
The mood lightens considerably when Lily shares her joke ("What does a storm cloud wear under his raincoat? Thunderwear!") and walks us through her simple three-ingredient recipe for Easter-themed peanut butter cookies. Her enthusiasm for both baking and professional wrestling shines through as she excitedly announces her plans to attend WWE Backlash in St. Louis on May 10.
Just before signing off, Bruce drops a fascinating historical bombshell: humans have been chewing gum-like substances for nearly 10,000 years, with early versions made from birch tree pitch or tar mixed with ingredients like red fox, hazelnut, deer, and apple.
Join us for this unscripted journey through weather, earthquakes, recipes, and random facts – delivered with the casual charm that makes us proudly "the worst podcast in the known universe." Check out our website at theuglyquackingduck.com or reach out via email at theuglyquackingduck@gmail.com!

Sunny:I like it when you make mistakes. I like laughing at you brooke uh-huh.
Bruce:no, no Brooks allowed, but anyway, my microphone shows it's going out. I'm going to hit my speaker here real quick. I see that you joined Lily.
Lily:I did.
Bruce:I'm going to type in the hello. So we there it is. It showed up and joined. Okay, we got audio coming through and it sounds pretty good. Test your phone to make sure the audio sounds good. We'll just do a test run while we're at this.
Sunny:Yeah, I hear it. Yeah, he's coming across good.
Bruce:Test your phone to make sure the audio sounds good.
Lily:It's a little behind, but it's still pretty good yeah it's supposed to have a delay on it.
Bruce:Uh, that way you know, if we do something stupid I can hit it real quick, but I probably won't.
Lily:So welcome aboard the live I gotta text mom tell her that we're live uh, lily, uh, this is the first time you've been on instagram live.
Bruce:We did the riverside, we did the pod pod bean this is the first time I've been live with you.
Lily:I've been live on here a few times.
Bruce:Yeah, yeah with me, though, and this complete setup, so I appreciate you letting me come over and get you in just doing the live. That's great. You should text all your friends and tell them you're live on my show, and that way maybe we can get more of an audience going, but we probably won't have much here today. We're just getting started. We've only done it one other time here on Instagram, so you know we've got to build up our audience on Instagram.
Sunny:Oh, what are you doing? You're trying to make people believe you got an audience. Now I know better. It's just me and you and lily. That's it. We're our own audience.
Bruce:Okay, well, I don't know about that, but yeah, yeah.
Lily:Yeah.
Bruce:Anyhow, I'm glad everybody who showed up shows up and, Lily, I'm glad to have you on the Instagram. Whatever. That is live audience. That's what that is. Yeah, and it's showing you're there and we're there and everybody's there and we're gonna do a switcheroo here. Oh, look at that. Can you see that I'm? Oh, it'll come on in just a minute.
Lily:I've changed scenes you've changed, I can't click on it, it'll come up.
Bruce:There it is. It's live now anyhow I can see it, it's a little duck thing yep, all right, so we're going to kill that and we're going to go to our outside camera and that way they'll have something to look at while we talk. And you know, maybe the cars will go by and they'll get to spot their own car. But anyway, we are coming to you from our studio and it should have popped up there. Lily did it.
Lily:The picture. Yeah, yeah, it popped up.
Bruce:No, you're going to get a live here in just a minute.
Sunny:Oh.
Bruce:Should show the outside here, but we're at our studio here in southern Illinois Okay, the Midwest Mount Vernon, outside of Mount Vernon, to be exact. So I hope you don't plan on doing any weird stuff to me for doing that, but we're showing, we got good throughput, so everything should be good. This is a lot better set up than we had before, because I didn't want everybody to have to download a special program just to watch us live or hear us live yeah so that's why we went to instagram and we get enough followers, we may switch to facebook or tiktok tiktok.
Bruce:I don't know how many followers we have to have for tiktok. I went live when I had 300, so well I.
Lily:I don't know how many followers we have to have for TikTok. I went live when I had 300, so Well, I probably don't have that many. But I can't go live until 2030 now. So why not? Because I wasn't old enough? Oh, because someone reported me, I guess.
Sunny:Oh, that's a bummer.
Lily:Okay, scoot, you can't get by with it. Can lily, never, never.
Sunny:can talk to me afterwards, I'll tell you a secret no, you won't stop anywho.
Bruce:Um, we are going to do the live like we normally do. We're going to talk a little bit about weather and then we're going to talk a little bit about, um, earthquakes, earthquakes, and then we may, may talk a little bit more about some other stuff while we're doing this. But yeah, we got some earthquake reporting to do and I haven't checked on it this week, so I don't know if it's up down crazy or if we had any bad earthquakes. They're not reporting earthquakes anymore. I mean, if you're not watching specific news, you won't know if we've had any earthquakes or any bad ones, especially.
Lily:Yeah.
Bruce:I'm texting like all my friends, so, oh, that's what you're doing, you're texting yeah, yeah well, anyhow, yeah, yeah, let's get on with the weather. What do you say?
Lily:yeah, the earthquakes are like the weather weather weather, the weather weather I know what the weather's doing.
Sunny:It's getting ready to rain.
Bruce:See, I know what the weather is uh, yeah, well, it has clouded up, like the guy at the gas station said a while ago when lily and I stopped in, he said it's sunny one minute, rain in the next. You just never know what it's going to do.
Lily:Apparently, we're supposed to have orange rain, so I'm looking at what orange rain is.
Bruce:Alright. Sorry for the aggressive typing over here You're attacking the typing or the keyboard anyway.
Lily:Orange rain refers to a weather warning indicating heavy rainfall typically associated with a significant risk of flooding and other severe weather impacts. It's a part of a color-coded warning system used to alert the public about the intensity of rainfall expected in a specific area. Oh.
Bruce:Okay.
Lily:And then apparently we're supposed to have red rain area, oh Okay, and then apparently we're supposed to have red rain. So I don't know what all these colors mean.
Bruce:You know what. I think I published that thing, but I don't know if it went out.
Lily:What.
Bruce:I forgot to hit save. I don't know if my post went out from the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast web page. Anyway, it's 67% humidity today. That doesn't sound good, does it?
Lily:No, because that's a sign that it's going to be a storm. Because if it gets stickier and more hotter outside, that means that there's going to be a storm. Because if it gets stickier and more hotter outside, that means that there's going to be a big storm or just a storm.
Bruce:Yeah, it's warmed up quite a bit today. According to my website that I'm looking at, it's 74 degrees right now, with a rain shower, and that's false because we have no rain here in the Mount Vernon area and I'm going to check my handy dandy thermostat here and see what it is here, because it's always different than the. I've got 76 degrees and cloudy. See, it's a little bit different here locally. That weather site's just a little bit off, that weather site's just a little bit off and we've got dr x a m e r s has joined the live.
Lily:I'm not sure how to pronounce that dr examers never heard of it.
Bruce:Well, hello I sent you out a hello on the chat. Glad to have you aboard, but anyway, it's 74 degrees according to this thing, with rain showers, but it's not raining yet here. Locally 67% humidity. The wind is about 18 miles an hour and that's close.
Lily:Yeah.
Bruce:We go outside. Right now it's not windy at all.
Lily:My friend joined. That's who she is, is that who? Yeah? Well, hi, lily's friend, glad to outside. Right now it's not windy at all.
Bruce:My friend joined. That's who she is, is that who? Yeah? Well, hi Lily's friend Glad to have you aboard. Shout out to her yeah, we're going to make them feel good, we're going to make them feel good.
Sunny:I'll tell her hi, hi, it was a her right, yeah, apparently. Okay right, yeah, okay, all right, cool. I want to say hi and I am sunny.
Bruce:I'm with the ugly quacking duck podcast and these guys are snobs. Uh, that's not true. Not true at all. Okay, he's mocking me now. Did you hear that? Anyway, he's a bum you're a bum I'm the biggest bum of all and you are listening to the live transmission broadcast of the ugly Quacking Duck podcast. We are the worst podcast in the known universe, so welcome aboard everyone.
Sunny:You just have to say that every podcast, don't you?
Bruce:Yeah, so I do. I'm not hearing you. Try it again.
Lily:You had my mic turned off.
Bruce:Oh, I did.
Bruce:I do that to Sonny all the time he gets mad at me. You missed it. Last week I was talking and my mic cut out, oh, and it wouldn't come back on, and Sonny was going. I can't hear you. I can't hear you and it wouldn't come back on, and sunny was going. I can't hear you, I can't hear you and it wouldn't come back on. Finally, come back on. Apparently I had some kind of loose connection somewhere, so I unplugged everything, plugged it back up when I got off and it was fun mark taylor joined hi, mark taylor.
Bruce:Good to hear you aboard, or have you aboard, good to hear you.
Lily:Whatever mark taylor six, seven, six, sorry, nine seven, hello hello, hello oh. So I just want to say you got. It's officially a tornado season, so it is.
Bruce:it is we watched our favorite person on YouTube.
Lily:Ryan Hall, y'all.
Bruce:Yep last night.
Lily:Storm Chaser. That one Storm Chaser was like that, like really close to that one tornado.
Bruce:Well, that one storm. Two of the Storm Chasers got their windows blowed out.
Lily:Yeah, by all the hail and then brandon got like at least like face to face, with that tornado, like his car, and his tornado, like it was.
Bruce:It was cool, wasn't it it?
Lily:was cool, but he needed to get out of there yeah, I shouldn't rephrase it.
Bruce:They didn't get their windshield blowed out, but they got their windshield cracked and it wasn't cracked. You could see the cracks, uh, in the camera as soon as it hit. I mean, they was. That hail was so big and powerful that the road you could actually see the, the round hail in their camera, which is very it's not common. Yeah, to see that, because it's usually so small.
Lily:Have I got audio?
Bruce:You've got audio.
Lily:No, that's what Mark Taylor said.
Bruce:No, you do not have audio, sorry, typing only. That's why I went to Instagram, so I could keep up with all the gadgets. Because it got rough, I forgot this thing's touchscreen.
Lily:So every time I touch my phone it just swipes wherever and it's kind of confusing. I forgot this thing's touchscreen. So every time I touch my phone it just swipes wherever and it's kind of confusing. I forget.
Bruce:Yeah, it is touchscreen. Did you find the earthquake site?
Lily:I did. I haven't brought it down.
Bruce:Oh cool, okay, Well, we can do the earthquake right after I get done with the report. Okay, I'm going to go back to the weather report. Air I'm going to go back to the weather report. Air quality is 61, which is not really that good. No, it's 61 probably because all the pollen in the air and Mark can testify to the pollen because him and myself was looking at our cars yesterday and we had a little bit of rain that come down so it just made the cars yellowish, yucky looking because of all the pollen.
Lily:Yeah, we had dirt, I mean mud rain. Yeah, Like a month ago.
Bruce:Yeah, mud rain on top of the. It was kind of muddy yesterday but there's a lot of pollen in that, yeah, so welcome to allergy season again and tornado season and tornado season, but anyway, there was a couple tornadoes actually live on the show last night green slime and uh green slime what's?
Lily:what's the green slime?
Bruce:that's the stuff that was on cars. It was from the rain and the pollen. Oh yeah, it was definitely green slime. Oh yeah, good to have you aboard, mark. I'm glad to have everybody. Do you work with them? No, he comes up and sees me though.
Lily:Oh Okay.
Bruce:Why? I don't know. I don't know why he'd want to see me, but anyway, All right back to the weather. I don't even know what time we started this thing.
Lily:Like. 335, like 337.
Bruce:We've already burnt 15 minutes, but we're supposed to get rain today and it's 67% humidity, which is not raining yet 67.
Bruce:Yep, 18 mile an hour winds, and I'm going to go to the details section. There we go. It's saying there's 75% humidity. That changed. Uv index zero because of all the cloud cover. The moon rise today is supposed to be at 12.32am and the moon set will be at 9.24 am. There you go, and it's supposed to be thunderstorms tomorrow and then Sunday in the am we're supposed to get showers. So, yay, lovely weekend we're going to have. At least I got the grass mowed. That's one good thing.
Lily:I mowed the grass, but it's growing back again.
Bruce:Has any cars went by?
Lily:I haven't been watching the video a few of them have gone by, yeah all right, oh, there goes one, there goes two.
Bruce:It'll show up here in a couple minutes. We got a delay on the video. That keeps us out of trouble, supposedly. But back to the weather here and we're to go to phoenix, arizona. That's just the one town that I have picked to um. Compare our weather here in southern illinois and it's it's really an interesting weather comparison.
Lily:That's a really good place to compare to us, because it's like hot there, like really hot there apparently.
Bruce:Yeah Well, believe it or not, they've got almost exactly the same temperature right now today.
Lily:Like us.
Bruce:Yep, we're between 74 and 76, according to what thermostat you look at, or thermometer.
Lily:Or app or website.
Sunny:Yeah yeah. He's just pretending he knows something. Everybody Don't pay attention to him. He's full of hot air, Okay.
Lily:Sonny, I don't think that's right because you're an alien. You're an alien duck.
Bruce:Or frog, Whatever he is morphed into this. Next time around he'll probably morph again.
Lily:I'm so shocked that that happened.
Bruce:Yeah, yeah, that was pretty cool though. Anyway, 76 degrees right now in Phoenix Arizona, it's supposed to get 56 tonight. That almost sounds exactly like ours. I'm not sure I Ooh.
Lily:We want to do some Arkansas.
Bruce:Arkansas. What's in Arkansas?
Lily:Never mind, we're going to Texas.
Bruce:Okay.
Lily:It's 90 degrees Texas.
Bruce:Okay, it's like it's 90 degrees there, 90. Woo, I'll have to pull up another one then 89, but it feels like 90 in Texas. We got 29 degree or 29% humidity, uv of 8. They must have a lot of clouds over there too today.
Lily:Yeah, the UV index is 4 in Texas.
Bruce:Wow, what's the temperature in Texas?
Lily:What part of.
Bruce:Texas, Wait what?
Lily:What? It's just Texas in general.
Bruce:Texas is a big state man, there has to be a pinpoint place to get that weather.
Lily:Yeah.
Bruce:Where are we at? We are in a random place of randomness. Apparently there must be a hurricane. I don't know. I have to read that up. I'm not sure what's going on.
Lily:You pause for a minute and you, just, you know.
Bruce:Yeah, I'll just check on that. Anyway, Phoenix, Arizona and Mount Vernon has almost exact same weather, except they're just partly cloudy. We're rainy somewhere in the illinois state yeah yeah, and the radar I've got up is showing uh over by st louis and jefferson city, missouri, that they've got clouds and some red some red coming from southwest my mom joined, my mom joined. All right.
Lily:My mom joined.
Bruce:Hello Haley, Glad to have you aboard.
Lily:Yeah, oh, that was a little too much, my bad.
Bruce:You're bad.
Lily:I know. Thank you.
Bruce:And I'm going to have to learn to make sure my cursor.
Lily:I thought that there's a blanket over here by the cat. I mean, there's a blanket over here and I put my foot up and I thought it was a cat because it rubbed up on the blanket and I got scared because I thought that there was a cat in here. And I looked down and it's just a frog blanket touching my foot.
Bruce:Yep frog blanket.
Sunny:Frog blanket. Hey Bruce, Let her do the earthquakes. You're boring everybody to death.

Lily:Yeah, it's kind of.
Bruce:Sunny, you want to guess?
Lily:Wait, oh yeah, Wait before we do anything Okay. Actually, I'll say it after no, go ahead.
Bruce:Oh, I got one thing to report Last week. I was talking about movies, 100 movie. There was one web page that had all the sci-fi movies. They had rated them 1 through 100, and they had Serenity listed and that was one of my favorite movies. There's been two different serenities. One of them's about a spaceship and a pirate that rides on the spaceship and his crew, and another one I don't even know what it was about, but I'm not talking about that other one. But I was talking about that serenity movie and there was a. It came out because they had a series, oh, and it was really probably one of my favorite series, and I couldn't remember the name of it last week, so I jotted it down after I got off and we did. You see what Admira said yeah, yeah, all right I'm telling cat out of the bag.
Bruce:I'm telling her all right, she said she got it anyway. Yeah, uh, anyway, the series called firefly and that's a. If you've never seen it, look it up, watch it. It ended kind of abruptly. They wouldn't bring it back, so they made this movie, I think, to make up for it.
Lily:But anyway, I owed you guys that, so I thought I'd bring that in. Yeah, yeah.
Bruce:All right, let me switch screens here. What do we want to have on?
Lily:here now. I finished. Resident Alien.
Bruce:Did you, did you like it?
Lily:First time in forever. I kind of expected the ending for season one. I definitely expected it. The ending for season one, I definitely expected it. It's uh. I had to re-watch it and I got to watch that one scene where he just dances all over the place in that one bar what was it again? Where's an alien?
Bruce:He danced in a bar.
Lily:Yeah to Starships. I don't remember that we to Starships.
Bruce:Starships. I don't remember that.
Lily:We used to watch it all the time, like all the time. Remember Resident Alien, that guy that was a human, but he can turn into a human.
Bruce:Okay, I was thinking Resident Evil, resident Alien, yeah, that's a good movie or series. It is a good series.
Lily:I finished it, but I kind of expected the ending. It's basically just the little boy.
Bruce:It kind of bummed you out, didn't it?
Lily:the ending, the little boy just keeps talking about seeing this guy with the alien and no one believes him still.
Bruce:Well, it looked like the way they ended, that was them two driving off into you know.
Lily:That was the episode. I finished the whole season.
Bruce:Oh, did you? Okay, all right, well, I'm going to have to go back and rewatch it, cause that's a pretty good one. Um, I've been watching Eureka. Eureka, yeah, it's on a paramount.
Lily:I'm watching a documentary now about kid flimsy About what I'm watching. A documentary now about kid influencing.
Bruce:About what.
Lily:Kid influencing, kid influencing.
Bruce:Oh, kid influencing, yeah, okay. I used to watch these people all the time and it was like a big yeah, that would be a race car going by. Well, he thinks it is anyway. It was a big I just turned the video off too, so like didn't get to see it it was a big um, it was uh you got too many things going on, you're not?
Lily:uh, it was a big thinking it, it was a, it was I forgot. What was I even saying?
Bruce:Obviously, do I need to mute the mic so you can't talk.
Lily:I don't even know what I was saying.
Sunny:Oh, you did, didn't you? You're mean.
Lily:I don't know what you're saying oh, there was a big like. I don't even know what I was talking about in the first place, so I'm just not going to even pretend like I know what I'm talking about.
Bruce:Well, that's all right. I don't know what I'm talking about either, most of the time. Anyway, you fit in right. Good with this studio Earthquake. Yeah, let's talk about earthquake. Sunny wants to guess. You guys can.
Lily:You guys can also guess and comment your guesses yep, and there's another one tj, hello, tj, what nothing, this is funny, you just, it's just funny yeah this is oh, you zoomed it in. We're not just me.
Bruce:I think that was just me yeah, I think it was just me I think it was just you it was just me all right, we're going to talk about earthquakes now.
Bruce:Sunny's going to guess and you guys out there in our audience can guess also what the earthquake report is. We go back seven days. We tally up for the last seven days all the earthquakes, all magnitudes, and then we also tally up to 2.5 and above, and then the 4.5 and above, and then anything that's 6.0 and above that we talk about where they're located. And we do that each week or every two weeks, whenever we do the next podcast. So we did it last week. What was the date on that report last week? It's on the paper 4-11-25.
Lily:4-11-25. Last week. What was the date on that uh report last week?
Bruce:it's on the paper 4, 11, 25, 4 11, 25, all right 6, 7, 35 all right hayley I like this.
Sunny:I can see the answers too well, not the not the answers, the comments.
Lily:So last week's date was 4-11-25, and this week it's 4-18-25.
Bruce:All right, we're going to let Sonny guess. Well, I guess I can too, because I don't know the answer.
Lily:I got to tell y'all what the thing and all is before All right, let us have it.
Bruce:Tell us what last week was.
Lily:My brain blacked out, so I don't know.
Bruce:The total.
Lily:Last week was 2,150.
Sunny:2,150.
Lily:Now, mama, I'm just going to tell you it's not in the hundreds, it's probably going to be in the thousands.
Bruce:Yeah, you can change your answer so it can, like we have been doing, if it's, you know, close to like if you guess 2100 and it's 2150, that's good, we just try to guess close.
Lily:Yeah, so like if the number was 2084, and you said 2,075 hundred Makes no sense, but same thing.
Sunny:Well, anyway, I'm going to guess now. Alright, I'm going to guess that you said 2,150. So I'm going to guess it's. Did that go up or down last week?
Lily:1,912 was Grandpa Paul's guess 1,912. All right, that's a pretty good guess.
Sunny:Yeah, it is. That's a good guess. All right, I'm going to guess. I think it went down last week, so it's going to go back up. So I'm going to guess 2225.
Lily:2225.
Bruce:I think it went down or up last week, but I don't remember. You'd have to roll the page back and look at it, see what last the week before was.
Lily:But either way, I'm going to guess it at 2025. It went down on 4-4-25. It was 2001, and it went up this week. Last week, Last week?
Bruce:All right, that was last week, so it went up 50? Is that what you're saying?
Lily:Yeah. Wow and 2,182, my new guess, Hmm okay, well, that's close.
Bruce:And what did? I guess I don't remember.
Lily:Yeah, I don't think I even guessed.
Bruce:Oh yeah, I did 2025.
Lily:Oh yeah, you did. Okay, Esmira, you have to put your answer in. Oh, she left.
Bruce:Oh.
Lily:How dare she?
Bruce:She got bored of us. All right, we got some guesses.

Bruce:You should be All right. Shoot, let's go for another.
Lily:My voice hold on.
Bruce:Alright, what are you drinking over there? Sprite, sprite. I got a Dr Pepper, she's got a Sprite.
Lily:I'm pretty sure that we already said that.
Bruce:I said it, but I didn't know if you ever said Sprite.
Lily:I did because, remember, you said Dr Pepper and I said Sprite, and then we started shaking our cups.
Bruce:Yep, we were giving signals off to each other. That's what that was Morse code with soda.
Lily:I have a joke and I have a recipe.
Bruce:A recipe For.
Lily:Easter.
Bruce:Oh, okay. By the way, it is supposed to be Easter this weekend. I'm making Easter.
Lily:You're making it, I'm making it.

Lily:It's a famous recipe.
Bruce:All right. Well, let us know.
Lily:Well guess what it's like there. Lily, do you want to laugh first or do you want to drool for food first?
Bruce:Oh, I like laughing For sure.
Lily:I like laughing too. We're going to laugh first.
Bruce:Alright, we're laughing. First, everybody ready for a good joke? Here comes Lily and a joke Ree, hee, hee, hee, hee. Alright, I'm so quiet. What does a storm cloud wear under his raincoat? All right.
Lily:I'm so quiet. What does a storm cloud wear under his raincoat?
Bruce:Storm, cloud and raincoat? I don't know. I don't know either. Um, wait a minute. That is awful quiet, ain't it?
Lily:Thunderwear. Oh, it's oddly very quiet.
Bruce:Yeah, it is, let's try that again.
Lily:There we go, that's better, okay so let's try that again. There we go, that's better, okay so.
Sunny:That was a good one.
Lily:So the Easter recipe Well, I wouldn't call it Easter but I'm going to add some sprinkles to them to make it look like Easter cookies. Like, add some like things on it to make it look like Easter cookies, but basically it's called peanut butter cookies.
Bruce:Ooh, peanut butter cookies. I like peanut butter cookies.
Lily:So what you need is some peanut butter, like one cup of peanut butter.
Sunny:Can you put flies in it?
Lily:If you adore flies and if you want to eat flies in your cookies, then you can.
Sunny:Okay, if you want to eat flies in your cookies, then you can, okay, and I'll eat some peanut butter cookies with fly.
Bruce:All right, thanks for spoiling that cookie for me there, sonny.
Lily:All you need is peanut butter and one cup of peanut butter, one cup of brown sugar and one large egg, and I don't have a recipe in front of me.
Bruce:Is there a difference between large eggs and small eggs?
Lily:The small egg has less yolk in it. The large egg has more yolk in it.
Bruce:Oh, how about a duck egg?
Lily:Ask Sonny that he used to be a duck.
Sunny:Yeah, but I didn't lay eggs. I'm a male.
Lily:How come you've been holding that potion ever since you've transformed into a frog?
Bruce:I think he's scared to go transform to anything else.
Sunny:I'm not scared.
Lily:Imagine if he transforms this live.
Bruce:We'll have to catch it on video.
Lily:Yeah, we'll have to get it on video.
Bruce:Yeah, we'll have to catch it on video. Yeah, we'll have to catch it on video.
Lily:I wonder what you said are you going to be a horse next?
Bruce:I hope not. The studio is not big enough for a horse anyway.
Lily:So you and I don't have a recipe in front of me. I memorized this recipe, so after that, you're going to mix it, and then you're going to grab a non nonstick parchment paper and you're gonna mix it. And then you're gonna grab a non nonstick parchment paper and you're gonna, and then you're gonna want to sorry, I lost my train of thought you're going to want to. You know, you're gonna want to mix it. That there you say that yeah, yes, you're gonna want to mix it, and then you're gonna want to mix it. Did I already?
Lily:say that, yeah, yes, you're gonna want to mix it.
Lily:And then you're gonna want to grab a non-stick parchment paper and like a pan and put your parchment paper down and then roll it in your hands. If the batter is too sticky, grab some olive oil and put it on your hands, or any oil, it's a little, you know, um gross, I know, but it seriously helps and it won't harm your cookies, because it's oil and it's going to be good for your cookies. And then after that, you're going to want to grab a fork and just go squish it down, like straight forward down, and then you're going to turn it side and you're going to squish down, like that, and then you're gonna do it to all the other cookies and you're gonna put it, preheat it for 350, and then you're gonna put it, preheat it for 350, and then you're gonna want to cook it for 10 minutes and you have your cookies sounds like it's time to eat so I will be make making my easter cookies tomorrow, and then grandpa and mama are plugging a feast on some of them.
Bruce:She just called you guys out and threw you out of the bus.
Lily:I really I mean anything that I make. Like the other day I tried to make it for the first time by myself and I made like three batches, four and a half batches of cookies and I woke up the next morning there were three left on the plate.
Bruce:Oh, they liked them, then that means you did a good job. If they get to eat, that means you do a good job.
Lily:Yeah, they turned out pretty good. I mean, there's like no wrong way to make peanut butter cookies, unless you don't do the fork.
Bruce:If you don't do the fork, it's not going to turn out like a cookie. Yeah, mom used to make those and I remember them so well.
Lily:Yeah, you can even add like a little bit of brown sugar or sugar or powdered sugar on top. Powdered sugar is like a thing that they put all over desserts, apparently, like even on ice cream. Oh, did you hear that?
Bruce:I heard that I think the storm is rolling in. Guys, I think it's rolling in. I think we're getting ready to get some rain. Let's check the weather one more time here you should change the camera to the window okay, I can do that too and let me check out.
Lily:What is it?
Bruce:oh, that's me, yeah, that's me uh well, it don't look very dark through that camera, but it's facing north, so I bet you over here northeast. Yeah, I bet it's like dark over there I need to get me a 360 degree camera and stick it up there on my tower.
Lily:The thing is, it's not windy, so and then bring it in the house.
Bruce:We can see all kinds of stuff.
Lily:Don't mind that. Oh yeah, you can see half a tree. The guy that came to cut the tree didn't cut it properly.
Bruce:Yeah.
Lily:Yeah.
Bruce:There we go. Yeah, it's not real dark north yet.
Lily:Don't be telling everyone I'm a big back, okay, mom.
Bruce:Okay.
Lily:I mean, you always eat my cookies, though you always eat my stuff.
Bruce:That means you're a good cooker.
Lily:I know. Thank you.
Bruce:A good cooker, I know. Thank you A good cooker, I know. So, anyway, everyone, I think we went through the weather, went through the earthquakes and went through a lot of nonsense. And that's what we do here on the Ugly Quackin' Duck podcast.
Lily:We are the most un you do. You do, I don't do anything silly we're the most unserious podcast, I think we're the the most awful podcast in the known universe by that you mean the most funny, funny, awful, awfully funny podcast.
Bruce:I don't know.
Lily:That was cheesy. I'm not going to do that ever again.
Bruce:Promises, promises.
Lily:Yeah, I'm on spring break and I don't want to go back to school. Oh, I have.
Bruce:Yeah, and you go back what monday there's something on my nose.
Lily:Sorry, I have what the heck is going on over here. There's like paint in my nail anyway, I have another. Thank you. I have another um another event that I'm going to event so you remember the wrestling. Oh so Wrestling.
Bruce:Mm-hmm oh.
Lily:So WrestleMania is this weekend, as you probably know. I've been talking about it like non-stop. So after every WrestleMania there's a backlash and it's basically where, like people that didn't win the match like, so like let people that didn't win the match, so let's just say one person, and one person had a match and one other person had a championship, and it's Wrestlemania and they're fighting. The person that doesn't, the person that is fighting to get the championship, doesn't win. They're gonna have to, they're gonna want to rematch at Backlash. That's like basically what it works.
Lily:So it's just like so you can't say it again yeah, yeah, basically, but it's like matches that like have it's, like it's. I don't know how to explain it, but it's pretty much just like any normal event, just it's not like the, the one you went to it no, no that one has 30 people in the same ring.
Bruce:Yeah.
Lily:And the rules are different, Because if you get someone over the ring and their feet touch the ground, they're out Of the Royal Rumble. That's what I went to the Royal Rumble.
Bruce:Yeah, the Royal Rumble. I tried to tell people and I couldn't remember the name of it.
Lily:Backlash is coming to St Louis, so of course I have to go, and I am going.
Bruce:So Well, good.
Lily:It's May 10th and Saturday at the Enterprise Center. If you live near Illinois or if you live in St Louis and you're a wrestling fan, go buy those tickets or I will eat your toes. No.

I always like to bring up some news before I close down. They are saying are you ready for this? Yes, what would be your guess of how long ago gum had been chewed?
Bruce:if you go back to history of gum, how long do you think it'd been, according to this article, being chewed?
Lily:Like how long should you be chewing your gum for?
Sunny:No, how long ago. He is saying oh, how long ago. Yeah, surely it wasn't very long. Maybe the 18th century, maybe that's a good guess.
Lily:I gotta say the 17s 17s.
Bruce:All right. Well, this article I've been reading and, uh, thank you, hayley, for saying you're welcome. I appreciate that. It was nice to have everybody aboard.
Lily:I don't know if you enjoyed the show, but four viewers today uh, that can count the one that left the one, the two, that will be, that left yeah yeah anyway they're saying.
Bruce:on this article I read that it's going back between 9,500 to 9,900 years the chewing of gum.
Lily:So does it tell you what year it was made?
Bruce:No, but they're saying the first ones were teenagers that chewed you ready for this Pitch or tar made from the bark of birch trees. They're saying they actually mixed red, fox, hazelnut, deer and apple in it and my screen just went blank. There it went. Come back Now. I've not read enough of it to know how much that is actually true, but that's what they're saying. There you go. You're a tune, a piece of history. When you get a piece of gum and stick it in your mouth, supposedly All right, that leads us to no man's land and I think we're going to say adios from there. Hope everybody enjoyed the live show.
