The Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast

Bruce

Being partial to Scifi and electronic stuff we find enjoying many not so ordinary things happens a lot. 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 bounce 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. Check us out at -- https://theuglyquackingduck.com

Ready for a roller coaster of fun, facts, and friendship? This week on the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast, we start with some playful banter between Bruce, Lily, and Sunny, defending Sunny's early arrival and reminiscing about a morning with kittens and a pool. We’re upgrading our sound game with new microphones and audio tweaks, and Lily can't contain her excitement about her Taylor Swift-themed summer dance camp, complete with wooden guitar painting and bracelet making. Bruce shares his vision for a more local flavor to the podcast to attract a unique audience, while we all chip in with reminders and jokes about Lily's upcoming birthday.
Get your guessing hats on for our Earthquake Guessing Game! We dive into the week's seismic activity, with guesses flying as we try to nail down the number of earthquakes. Sunny emerges as the closest guesser, and we break down the magnitudes and correct a few earlier errors. From quirky duck-themed items to an amusing vampire cat debate, we balance laughs with an update on two significant 6.3 magnitude earthquakes.
What’s a podcast without a little geeky excitement and heartfelt appreciation? We chat about malfunctioning sound effect boxes, the local weather forecast, and our collective excitement over the new Star Wars series "Acolyte." With a nod to our recording schedule changes, we delve into the importance of balancing life’s essentials and the value-for-value model in podcasting. We introduce a new shout-out feature for our listeners and wrap up with timely advice on staying safe in extreme weather conditions. Join us for a blend of humor, updates, and genuine gratitude from your favorite podcast trio!

Celebrate with us as we reach our 30th milestone in the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast, filled with humor, technical hiccups, and the camaraderie that makes us who we are. We’ll take you on a journey through the sunny Midwest, reflecting on our roots while tackling the curious challenge of blending music into our episodes without stepping into legal quicksand.
What if podcasts could begin with the ring of a mechanical bell instead of the usual intro? Our musings take a playful turn as we dance around the more serious topics, leaving politics behind to embrace the fun and quirky moments, like our fond memories of co-host Lily's unique brand of nonsense. We sprinkle in updates on fascinating weather patterns and offer a light-hearted pause that celebrates the value-for-value model supported by wonderful listeners like you.
Gear up for a whirlwind of technological wonders, from XPeng's futuristic flying car to Amazon's smart glasses for delivery drivers. We ponder the future while keeping an eye on safety advancements in battery technology and sharing some global earthquake insights. Whether it’s a massive Stargate replica in Ohio or innovative podcasts like David Duchovny’s "Fail Better," we’ve got a week’s worth of fascinating tales that promise to entertain and engage. Join us for a celebration of the unusual, the uplifting, and the just plain fun!

Hello All,
Glad you are stopping by. We have a good show for you. I had several people stop by this week. Sunny, Lily, and RoRo all came by. It was nice. We had discussions of the recent earthquakes. Please remember those in Turkey and Syria who have suffered through these earthquakes and losses.
We touched once again on what is your focus. Where do you turn when life gets stressful?
We also covered the AI (artificial intelligence) take over or so to speak. I talked with several different chat bots. I also got to ask ChatGpt a few questions. I have to say it was enjoyable. Listen to find out more detail.

Have you ever wondered if we could have a second moon? Join The Ugly Quacking Duck as Bruce and Sunny delve into the captivating "Second Moon Phenomenon" and the sudden appearance of 2024 PT5, our new mini moon. We unpack the science and mysteries surrounding mini moons, share personal anecdotes and skepticism, and ponder the challenges of viewing this rare event amid a major hurricane. Expect a blend of humor, curiosity, and a dash of conspiracy theories as we explore this astronomical wonder.
But that's not all! We switch gears to talk about the latest in natural disasters, from a notable 6.3 magnitude earthquake in the Reunion Region to updates on hurricane formations near Mexico and the Bahamas. We'll give you the lowdown on the recent seven-day earthquake report and playfully guess the totals. Plus, we celebrate the arrival of a new kitten and give a heartfelt shoutout to Ryan, our dedicated storm reporter. Don't miss our engaging discussions on seismic activity, personal stories, and the dynamic interplay between the cosmos and Earth's natural events.

In our latest episode, we share the magic of seeing this rare spectacle right here in Southern Illinois, thanks to an extraordinary solar flare. As these vibrant auroras danced across the sky, stretching as far south as Arkansas and Texas, we couldn't help but feel a mix of wonder and gratitude. Join us as we extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by the recent hurricanes in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida, and share poignant stories from these storm-ravaged areas.
Switching gears with a playful twist, Sonny and Bruce (also known as Brucke) invite you to participate in our Earthquake Guessing Game. This segment injects humor into the serious topic of seismic activity, with some friendly competition over predicting earthquake numbers. Amidst the banter about AI transcription errors, ghostly sounds, and amusing interruptions, we dive into this week's stats: a rise in quakes from 1839 to 2019. We explore the unpredictable nature of these occurrences, offering a lighthearted escape from the routine.
In our closing chapter, we ponder the global turmoil impacting communities worldwide, from natural disasters to international conflicts. Our conversation takes a contemplative turn as we express the limits of human solutions and emphasize the power of trust in a higher force for healing and reconciliation. As we wrap up, we express gratitude to our listeners, sharing blessings and a reminder of the strength found in faith. Stay tuned for exciting updates, including a special musical collaboration that promises to add a melodious twist to our episodes.
"Special Thanks to Karla Davis for allowing us to use her music!"
73 and May the Father bless you.

We kick off this episode of the Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast with a recent 7.0 earthquake off the coast of California. While the earth shook and concerns rumbled, we're grateful there were no injuries. This unexpected geological event sets the stage for a broader conversation about how we consume news today, as many are turning away from traditional sources in favor of the immediacy of social media and online platforms.
Political intrigue takes center stage as we touch on President Biden's surprising decision to pardon Hunter Biden, offering a lighthearted take on the often unpredictable nature of politics. We then shift gears to explore an international incident involving the alleged sabotage of underwater communication lines by a Chinese commercial ship. Amidst these serious global happenings, there's room for laughter as we recount the unexpected spotting of our podcast sticker in Mountain Home, Arkansas, sparking a humorous chat about stickers and distribution strategies.
As the weather shifts in Southern Illinois, prompting a blend of anticipation and reluctance for the colder days ahead, we chat about technological advancements promising to change our lives. An AI model touts more accurate weather forecasts, and in a lighter note, an 11-foot-high iced latte sets a new world record. Wrapping up with warm farewells and gratitude, we leave you with a hearty "73," embracing our listeners with the best regards.

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the rollercoaster of seasonal weather or the ever-evolving tech in your life? Well, imagine that feeling magnifying when it comes to the emotional weight of pedestrian tragedies in our community. In our latest Ugly Cracking Duck episode, we kindle the Valentine's Day spirit, discussing the importance of cherishing our loved ones every day, not just on special occasions. Sunny beams in with a chat about the recent splendid weather, but we all know how March likes to toy with our emotions. Meanwhile, I've been tinkering with a ribbon microphone, which led to a surprising twist in audio quality thanks to the new TASCAM Mixcast 4 board. We're eager to hear your thoughts on the sound improvements and invite you to weigh in on our sonic journey.
On a more somber note, we reflect on the heart-wrenching reality of pedestrian deaths in our locality, a stark reminder of the fragility of life. As we transition to checking the pulse of the planet through our seismic activity segment, Sunny takes a shot at guessing recent earthquake stats, maintaining the spirit of friendly rivalry in Lily's absence. Send us your guesses and join our conversation on Mother Nature's rumblings. As we sign off with gratitude and enthusiasm for what lies ahead, we're sending a special shoutout to our friend Captain for the musical flair he's lent to today's dialogue. Stay tuned, and let's ride this wave of heartfelt chatter, compelling stories, and a sprinkle of fun together.
The Answer to our last Episode’s music challenge is Bob Dylan’s “Blowing In The Wind”. The Folk Trio I was talking about was Peter, Paul, and Mary.
