Episode description

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!

Speaker 3

Duck Podcast .

Speaker 1

All right , that was interesting . I'm not sure we was in sync , but Sonny , why are you so late ?

Speaker 2

What do you mean ? Why am I so late ? I'm always here . What are you doing ? You're late .

Speaker 3

No , I've been here since 6 o'clock in the morning .

Speaker 2

Oh sure , I seen you come in . You didn't see me . I was being like a hawk looking at everybody watching the neighborhood .

Speaker 1

Uh-huh , yeah , I think he was asleep .

Speaker 3

But I did see you have fun with the kittens this morning .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah , I chase them around , but I'm nice to them .

Speaker 3

You know what you did . You bothered Pops . He was trying to get a pool set up and you were running around with Winnie .

Speaker 2

Well , you know what ?

Speaker 3

What you see that little pool ?

Speaker 2

Yeah , roro said she brought it home for the cats , but she brought it home for me .

Speaker 1

Oh , she did , did she not ? That's the first I've heard of that . Yeah , interesting .

Speaker 2

Yeah , she likes me more than she does , you guys .

Speaker 1

I wouldn't bet on that . I wouldn't bet on that at all . Hey , welcome everybody . We are on the 18th episode , I do believe yeah and I'm glad to see everybody or hear everybody or know everybody . Let me back up . I'm glad to have everybody here . Yeah , there you go .

Yeah , I'm hard having a hard time adjusting from like a work mode , where I'm seeing people and talking to them , and a podcast mode , you know , where you're doing audio only and uh , anyway , that's what's going on yeah , and I'm glad to have li here today , Yay .

Speaker 3

Lily Yay .

Speaker 1

Now we both are on different microphones and we've got different adjustments , so yeah , I switched up my microphone .

Speaker 3

Actually , while I was gone , bruce did and he switched up my microphone , so I think I like this a lot more better than my other one .

Speaker 1

I like the way you sound on this one Me too .

Speaker 3

It's a little bit more clear , I think and somehow this arm isn't acting up like it was last time .

Speaker 1

This one may be a hair lighter that that high on mic was heavy yeah , and it was kind of bassy and , uh , it kind of affected your voice , not as bad as it did mine , but this one seems to be coming across clearer , um , and we're going to see how it goes .

Yeah , I'm going to put some equalization on it after we get done recording and I'm not going to do any extra um , compression , like I normally do . So yeah hopefully the levels will stay there , but we'll see what happens . If it turns out rotten , you guys will have to let me know . That's . That's why we got listeners right .

I'm doing summer camp when you're doing summer camp uh now now so so .

Speaker 3

I'm not like staying there , like for like a week or whatever , like how long you stay at summer camp . It's at my actually my dance class place .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah , we dropped you off there last night .

Speaker 3

Yeah , so I'm a big Taylor Swift fan , if you didn't already know that I love her .

Speaker 1

Who .

Speaker 3

Taylor Swift .

Speaker 1

Who .

Speaker 3

You know who that is .

Speaker 1

No , I've never heard of her .

Speaker 2

Anyway , ignore him Ha ha , ha ha , sunny , I've never heard of her either , but I don't listen to music .

Speaker 3

You're going to have to find someone else to wash your hair in the bath because I ain't going to do it for you no more . I got feathers yeah you .

Speaker 2

I washed those too , oh well anyway , so you guys act like little siblings .

Speaker 1

You know that .

Speaker 3

I know . So it's for three days , and yesterday we painted a guitar . It's not actually like an actual guitar , it's like a wooden one , whatever .

Speaker 1

Was it wood or paper ?

Speaker 3

It was wood .

Speaker 1

I wondered how it stayed so stiff when you showed it to me .

Speaker 3

I'll have to bring it over someday and you're going to have to take a picture of it so you can post it online .

Speaker 1

We can do that yeah .

Speaker 3

But I made it tie-dye with different colors I had some gems and it looks like a guitar .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it's cut out just like a guitar . It has strings on it .

Speaker 3

It's three days . It's super fun . I think today we're going to be making bracelets too , so that's fun . Then we're going to learn another dance , and then tomorrow is the performing day .

Speaker 1

Well , I'm glad you're having fun and it's summer break , so I guess that's why you're calling it summer .

Speaker 3

Yeah , summer dance camp , you know .

Speaker 1

Cool , oh , that's cool .

Speaker 3

And I come back home right after it , and so it's not like a .

Speaker 1

So you're not going out of town and staying . It's in , yeah , it's not like a , so you're not going out of town and staying .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it's not like a camp camp , but it's like a camp .

Speaker 1

Yeah , well , you know , I'm glad you brought that up because I've been wanting to kind of do more local podcast information and make our podcast local .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

You know , make people not make , but hopefully people will get attracted to it . Yes , Want to hear us and they'll find something unique . Sorry , I dropped my pencil that we do , that they can hear or relate to .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Hopefully , hopefully . That's the goal .

Speaker 3

Yeah , hopefully .

Speaker 1

And they may find how weird we are , but hey , Also my birthday's coming up in like two months . We hear that every episode . You know that .

Speaker 3

I'm special , oh you're special .

Speaker 2

all right , you're very special . Now don't special . All right , you're very special .

Speaker 1

Now don't be fighting guys .

Speaker 4

Sonny .

Speaker 2

Yeah yeah , um yeah , yeah , yeah yeah Hello . I said yeah , I know , I said yeah , Can I tell you something Sunny ?

Speaker 3

are you going to clean your pool water for the kittens ?

Speaker 2

No , they can clean their own water .

Speaker 4

No , they can't their own water ? No , they can't .

Speaker 3

You know what Actually ?

Speaker 2

What .

Speaker 3

Roro can clean it because she's the one that bought it .

Speaker 2

There you go . Yeah , I agree .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that sounds good to me .

Speaker 3

Yeah it does .

Speaker 1

I think I'm hitting too hard . I'm going to have to watch this mic . So I'm looking up at the wall and there's a new item hanging on the wall . You want to tell everybody about it , lily .

Speaker 3

Well , I have these two canvases I have a Stitch one and I have a Star Wars one . It's where the Mandalorian ? Is that what it is ? Yeah , floating Baby Yoda .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 3

And I painted it . Paul's about to take a picture of it , or whatever you I call him on here .

Speaker 1

I made the background like galaxy and I colored like little different spots on it made it look cool yeah , and she gave it to me for Father's Day , grandpa's , whatever you want to call it For Father and Grandpa's Day . We hung it up on the studio wall . So , yeah , that's a good idea . I'll take a snapshot of it and post it .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Maybe I can use that for our picture of the podcast episode .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Because I can make a new one each time . That'd be fun to start doing .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that would be fun .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 3

Now that I'm thinking of it , that actually would be very fun .

Speaker 1

Yeah , and I can . On the webpage I can make multiples . Yeah , put on there , all right . Well , we did the short blast . That's what . I'm going to start calling them Baja Blast . Well , I'm just going to call them Blast for now Episode last week . I slept all day .

Speaker 3

Yeah , unfortunately she was up all night and slept all day , but I got my first night of sleep last night . So pat on the back for that .

Speaker 1

Yeah , luckily I did and he seems a little bit more awake today .

Speaker 3

So the trick is put your phone on the charger away from you , just close your eyes and just blank out your mind or just think of sleep .

Speaker 1

And do it early . Yeah , I went to bed at like 9 , 10 , maybe I don't know , Seems like if you stay up late , then you get another burst of energy and it may be your last burst but , you still get one , and then you can't go back to sleep .

Speaker 3

Yeah . So what happens is you have the energy from . So if you take a nap all day , you'll have the energy that you were supposed to have when you slept at night .

And then you get backwards , have when you sleep at night , and then you get backward and then it goes until midnight and then , like 5 am , it hits and you're like , oh no , I'm tired , and you sleep all day and it just repeats and it's crazy .

and then you get in a bad habit and you start doing that all the time now , like my mom has , like a , a dresser , I put my phone on top of that , so when my alarm goes off I have to get up and walk to it to turn it off .

Speaker 1

That's a good idea .

Speaker 3

Instead of going like back to bed and just sleeping , I get up and I actually like get ready , so like we're not late .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that is , that's a real good idea . Yeah , that is , that's a real good idea .

Speaker 3

Yeah , so if you stay up all night like I used to do , there's your some tips .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 3

And please do not do it during summer . Honestly , you need to get your sleep during summer so you can do fun activities .

Speaker 1

And then you won't change your habit of sleeping for school when school starts .

Speaker 3

Yeah , Don't fix it like a day before , fix it like two months before I'm doing it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you're doing a good job . I'm proud of you .

Speaker 3

I'm proud of myself . Now , sunny . Yeah , how's your summer going so far ?

Speaker 2

I'm having fun yeah .

Speaker 3

Yeah .

Speaker 2

I'm just flying around bathing in the pool . I don't have any mud puddles anymore , Aw .

Speaker 3

Yeah , Well , it's supposed to rain tomorrow , I think , so you'll have like a little puddle . You know Well , I need some more puddles . Them are fun , but that goes on me and I have to give you a bath .

Speaker 2

Oh well , I'll just keep using that little pool .

Speaker 3

No well , if you go in the pool they'll have other like little you know things . I'll just give you a bath , you know .

Speaker 1

They're not using it anyway . And that pool , it's actually made for a dog . Yes , yeah , it's a doggy pool , that's what she got . It folds up . It's kind of neat . Yeah , it's got a drain hole on it . It folds up . It's kind of neat . Yeah , it's got a drain hole on it .

She went to town to get a big not a big a hard plastic kitty wading pool you know yeah . And she seen this and it was folded up in a box and it would fit in her car , so she got it .

Speaker 3

Yeah .

Speaker 1

I mean that's a good idea , though . Yeah , we , we took turns dropping the kittens in it , and they didn't take long to jump back out yeah , they probably don't like the water , probably not used to it actually but it was good to get them their feet wet anyway .

Speaker 3

So sonny was jumping in and splashing and everything .

Speaker 2

Yeah , sonny was having a good time he's a turkey . Yeah , no , I'm an alien .

Speaker 1

Speaker 1

Well , we don't have to get that definite , yeah , but it's supposed to stop raining Thursday we were recording this on Tuesday , because that's the day I got off , but they're not going to have it played until next weekend . So this weather is not even going to matter .

It's going to be gone .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it's supposed to rain friday and saturday , so okay , there you go .

Speaker 1

That's the weather you need to be yeah because that's what they're going to get , hopefully yeah , so there's the weather , y'all weather y'all all right . I got one other thing to bring up while we're talking about weird stuff .

Weird stuff yeah , I uh watched acolyte I think that's the how you say that but a new star wars oh yeah series oh , that was loud sorry yeah , I need to compress it a little bit better maybe , so it doesn't jump that high yeah maybe get a little more aggressive , but we'll worry about that later yeah , um anyway , it's on season one .

episode four is what we just watched , so I don't know . Usually it's Thursday . I think Thursday's when the next episode comes out .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

So I'm going to have to wait . To well , I usually watch on Friday when I'm off , but I'm not going to be off this week yeah . But anyway , if you like Star Wars , there's a good new show and I really enjoyed it so far .

I liked it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , but I like Star Wars . It could be a really bad Star Wars and I'll still like it .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 3

Yeah , we have been lacking a lot yeah .

Speaker 1

The job's been keeping me busy .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

And you notice my throat's not giving out as much .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it used to give out like all the time .

Speaker 1

Well , there's two things going on . One is I went back to that condenser mic Condenser . I don't have to talk as loud .

Speaker 4

Yeah .

Speaker 1

That's one reason I've always liked it , and the second is I took an allergy pill .

Speaker 3

Oh , that probably would have . Yeah , that probably helped anyway , so that's good .

Speaker 1

And the third reason is I am drinking a . What is it ?

Speaker 1

Yep , and I think it's helped . Yeah , but anyway we won't go into .

Speaker 3

Details that much .

Speaker 1

Right .

Speaker 2

I'm glad I don't want to hear any more about your tea and your soda and your blah , blah , blah , blah .

Speaker 3

Well , Sonny is just , you know .

Speaker 1

Sonny's , just Sonny .

Speaker 3

Sonny's just Sonny . Sonny's just Sonny . Ain't that the right thing ?

Speaker 2

He sounds pretty good too .

Yeah , go ahead tell him , he sounds good too . You sound good , Sonny .

Speaker 2

Yay , it's a shame that I have to ask for you guys to tell me .

Speaker 1

Well , yeah , I guess so . But you know , we haven't changed your microphone . I adjusted it . I did adjust it and got a little bit better sound .

Speaker 3

I got you a gift , Sunny . Oh really , I bought you a brand new microphone . Oh really yeah .

Speaker 2

What kind of microphone ?

Speaker 3

It's a little bit like the same size as yours , but it's a little bit smaller , I think .

Speaker 2

Oh , same size , but a little bit smaller . That sounds awful weird .

Speaker 3

I mean oh my gosh , Same sound .

Speaker 1

Oh , okay .

Speaker 3

Same sound , but Like a little bit smaller .

Speaker 1

I was trying to figure out what you , but I forgot it at home , so I can't bring it . But I .

Speaker 3

I will be with him tomorrow , but I think I will wait until Do you go to work Seven tomorrow .

Speaker 2

Yes , all week . All week For the , and then .

Speaker 3

Saturday Do you go to work 7 tomorrow .

Speaker 1

Yes .

Speaker 3

All week .

Speaker 1

All week and then Saturday . I'll have to look . I don't remember what the schedule is Saturday . Have you been monitoring any of the mics that podcasters and TikTokers are using ?

Speaker 3

I have come across a few tiktoks of that one mic what one mic the one that you liked that you kept watching youtube videos about oh , the pod mic .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I you know why I didn't get that , because it was more expensive well , not too expensive . But Well , not too expensive . But it's a dynamic mic and I don't do well with dynamic mics .

Speaker 3

I thought that you liked those .

Speaker 1

No , it's the condenser mics that work good with me .

Speaker 2

Oh .

Speaker 1

And so I thought , well , I'll try that one that you're using and see if it worked any better . And it didn't .

I mean , I worked hard trying to get it adjusted , but I'm really not sure how people get to get them to work right , because if I turn it up , so it's picking up my voice , you know , just a few inches away , yeah Then it's overdriving it , and so I turn it down , and then I have to get up to it like this , like this , yeah , and it just Sounds too

loud .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it just don't work yeah .

Speaker 1

Now you , on the other hand , Me Seems to work good with a dynamic mic .

Speaker 3

Did you try to say dynamite ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , I did say dynamite , Dynamite .

Speaker 3

All right , we're going to go because Pops is singing now .

Speaker 1

Anyway , that's why I didn't buy that mic . So I'm glad I didn't , because I got that thing home , yeah , and hooked it up and it would have done the same thing these other mics did and I would have been very upset .

Speaker 3

You're always upset .

Speaker 1

I am not .

Speaker 3

I'm kidding , I'm kidding All jokes and fun guys . He's always upset , sonny , don't start .

Speaker 1

Speaker 1

Yeah , well .

Speaker 3

Ever since .

Speaker 1

You haven't .

Speaker 3

Ever since I started I started like fourth or fifth grade . It's been more like you was more involved earlier on than you are now yeah , because I had to focus more on school than like other things in life , like only things that I worried about during school was school , my life , my family and like my friends .

Important things in life , not like stupid stuff , like food and everything like that .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

I had to like social media .

Speaker 1

And you sleep all the time , yeah .

Speaker 3

I had to think of the most important things in my life and I just had to focus on it . I had to focus on my life . So , like my life is busy , fun , full of activities and it's fun while I'm still young , it's fun young .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that's why you named your podcast what you do .

Speaker 3

Enjoying being Human , because you need to enjoy being human while you can .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you need to work on that one .

Speaker 3

Yeah , maybe I'll do it tomorrow . Yeah , I can leave everything hooked up if you want , yeah , but just don't worry about other weird stuff . Just worry about your life and focus on things that you need to focus on . Alright , we probably need to go now .

Speaker 3

Well , I thought , are we over 30 minutes ?

Speaker 1

That don't matter anymore .

Speaker 3

No , I've been doing an hour and 45-minute shows . I just do whatever comes to me , but anyway , we want to thank everybody . I appreciate it . If you find value in this show show , then tell other people about it . That's the best thing you can do for us and come back and listen to the next episode yeah and there are other ways to hit value .

I know the value for value uh programs , kind of having a rough time right now with whatever it is podcasting and everything , but don't give up on that because , if they get that going , that has great opportunity for musicians and all kinds of things . So it's not just podcasters .

That is gonna it's gonna help , it's gonna be a lot of valuable stuff , there you go yeah I'm trying to think of a way to put that stuff .

Yeah , the easiest words you know , trying to think of the easiest if you are a podcast 2.0 , if you are a Podcast 2.0 listener and you've got the value for value set up , we are also set up so you can send us some kind of value , some kind of Bitcoin or something .
