Welcome to Episode 107 of The Ugly Quacking Duck, where we proudly embrace our status as "the worst podcast in the known universe"—because once you're the worst, you can only get better!This Star Wars Day special brings you Bruce and Sunny's unique perspective on everything from local weather patterns to global seismic activity. We kick off with our signature weather comparison between rainy Southern Illinois and sunny Phoenix, Arizona—a stark contrast that highlights how differently Mother Nature behaves across the continent. While we're dealing with 46°F temperatures and 94% humidity, Phoenix enjoys a comfortable 69°F with just 32% humidity. These weather segments connect us with listeners across different regions and provide a grounding element to our free-flowing conversation.Our earthquake report reveals some concerning trends in global seismic activity. With 1,774 earthquakes recorded worldwide in the past week alone, including four measuring above 6.0 magnitude and a massive 7.4 quake near South America, we're seeing patterns that suggest when overall earthquake counts decrease, higher-magnitude events tend to increase. This observation could potentially lead to better prediction methods, though we're still far from that reality.The News Corner segment dives into several fascinating stories you might have missed: scientists bringing back dire wolves through DNA manipulation, Sicily's ancient "white gold" tree sap being compared to biblical manna, Monty Python and the Holy Grail celebrating its 50th anniversary, and devastating sandstorms in Iraq that hospitalized thousands. These stories remind us that beyond our daily concerns, the world continues to surprise us with both scientific breakthroughs and ongoing challenges.We close with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of community in these divisive times. As Bruce says, "Every one of us bleeds. We need to stick together and pull each other up together, not push one person down to get up."Have you experienced any interesting weather phenomena in your area lately?

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."

As we reminisce about past seasons, from sci-fi escapades to our interviewing misadventures, we can't help but chuckle at our chaotic content organization. But fear not, we've hit our stride in Season Five, just in time for a Thanksgiving-themed episode filled with humor and lighthearted banter.In this episode, we navigate the unpredictable terrain of topics, starting with a tale about fickle weather and playful cats that takes an unexpected turn with a somber incident involving a cat and a road. We then switch gears to our beloved earthquake segment, where we put our guessing skills to the test. With an uptick in quakes, we analyze the numbers and ponder the possibility of a live show where listeners can join in the fun. Our banter might be as shaky as the ground we're discussing, but that's part of the charm.Hold on as we embark on an out-of-this-world exploration, questioning the authenticity of China's Chang'e 6 lunar mission.

Amidst the buzz, Sunny, our feline-enthusiast co-host, shares his latest antics and his distaste for the impending rain, while I muse on the bittersweet end of the school year and the perpetual dance of podcasting amidst life's demands.There's something special about capturing the essence of life's unplanned moments, like our recent outdoor recording that  starred a chorus of cicadas and the occasional flyby of aircraft. Sunny's quick wit comes through with a turkey joke that has us both chuckling.  While we recognize that the constant hum of cicadas might not be everyone's cup of tea, we hope the authenticity of these moments resonates with those who find joy in the simple, unedited soundtrack of life.As we wrap up the season with a look towards  promise of summer break, Lily and I chat about the electric excitement that fills the air. We exchange summer plans, remedies for our weather-related woes, and share a collective appreciation for new podcasting gear that's like an early holiday gift. Lily's leap into junior high echoes the growth of our show from its nascent days, and despite a rebellious throat, she insists on delivering a final joke that'll leave you grinning. Join us for this melodic journey of laughter, reflection, and a shared appreciation for the art of audio storytelling.Support the Show. I hope you enjoy the show! Please tell a friend or two.

Sometimes Mother Nature decides to throw a curveball, and this week she certainly kept us on our toes with her unpredictable whims.  Join  Sunny and  me (Bruce) as we talk about the storms in Oklahoma .

Remember that time I mistakenly called Bruce "Brooke" and we all had a good laugh? Well, Bruce and I are back at the mic, and this time we're inviting you on a spirited journey through the podcast universe, complete with a charming nod to Lily's "Enjoying Being Human" as she prepares to unleash new episodes over her spring break. But it's the allure of the "Makeshift Stories" podcast that truly ensnares our fancy, spinning tales of science fiction that captivate and inspire – and we're thrilled to showcase their work during our show.Amidst our revelry in content creation, we take a stark turn down memory lane with Alicia, whose unsettling experience of the Mandela Effect in Rosoli, Italy, has us questioning the very fabric of recollection. The Rosoli disaster, a catastrophic event that seems to shift its details with each retelling, steers us into a narrative labyrinth. Alicia's pursuit of truth against a backdrop of lost memories, skeptical strangers, and an estranged uncle captures the essence of our fascination with history's mutable nature.As we navigate from the shadows of the past into the celestial wonders overhead, the anticipation for the 2024 eclipse stirs within us a mix of awe and conspiracy. Biblical tales, prophetic towns, and even emergency planning – who knew an eclipse could hold such power over the imagination? We wrap up with a salute to the youthful exuberance of Lily's podcasting endeavors and a heartfelt appeal to support the voices of tomorrow. Don't miss out on this eclectic episode that promises to entertain, provoke thought, and maybe even alter your perception of reality. Go check out our guest podcast   "Makeshift Stories" it will be worth another listen.

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.   Here is a link to listen to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld6fAO4idaISupport the show I hope you enjoy the show!

Sunshine and fog aren't usually mentioned in the same breath, but Sunny and I,  found ourselves chuckling over the peculiar mix as we kicked off Season 5, Episode 2 of the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast. This time around, I recount my latest quest to fix an outdoor antenna, which turned into a saga worth a sitcom episode. And just when you thought music couldn't get any more cryptic, we dangle a new musical challenge before you; a Bob Dylan classic covered by a folk trio that's sure to have you guessing and grooving.While Sunny made an early exit to savor the day, the show went on with our usual camaraderie. We revisited the musical riddle from our previous episode, keeping the answer under wraps to stoke your curiosity. A clue, perhaps? The song in question is a gem that's found its way into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In a playful twist, my website cameo suggests there's more than just laughs to be had for our subscribers – who knows, they might just find themselves privy to the secrets of our musical enigma.Closing the episode, our Earthquake Updates segment shook things up with the latest tremors that have been rocking the globe. But fear not, we balanced the seismic chatter with a hearty dose of humor, sharing a story about the shenanigans of "wild" worms that turned a bait shop upside down. As we wrapped with a nod to the future of podcast innovation and thanked our buddy captain for the tunes, we left our listeners with our heartfelt "73 and God bless," the quintessential Ugly Quacking Duck sign-off. The Artists from last episode was 3 Doors Down and the song was "It's Not My Time" Go Listen to it here :  3 Doors DownSupport the show I hope you enjoy the show!

This is our Season 5 Episode 1. in 2024. Here we are again. Wow a new year and this month is already half way gone. It is crazy how fast it goes by. Sunny joined me again. I let him do the intro to the show. He did a great job! I had listened to a podcast by Buzz Cast the other day. They were talking about what made podcasting special. It attraction and simplicity. The podcast took me back to thoughts about why I like podcasting. I would suggest you go and listen to that podcast. Buzzsprout does that podcast "Buzz Cast" and the episode title is called There's Something Special About Podcasting. Maybe it will jar your thoughts too. We started a new challenge. Have to see how it goes. Support the show I hope you enjoy the show! Please tell a friend or two. Word of mouth is the best way for our podcast to grow.
