¶ Welcome to Ugly Quacking Duck
Hello everyone . This is Bruce and you have reached the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast .
And this is Sunny , of the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast .
And this is Lily of the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast .
Hey , lily . It's good to have you aboard , man . It's been a long time and we are coming to you . Everyone from where .
Our Midwest hideout .
Yes , ma'am , we are . We're in our studio in the Midwest southern Illinois . My voice keeps cracking for some reason you're not used to this kind of broadcasting anymore . We how long has it been ?
a couple months , it's like a year yeah yeah , she's a bum , I'm a bum , apparently to Sonny .
Yeah , well , it's good to have you on board . You have tuned in . If this is your first time , this is episode 114 , I think ? No , wait a minute , let me check that . All right , let me rephrase that we are on episode 115 of the Ugly Quacking Duck duck , the worst podcast in the known universe .
Welcome aboard , everyone the worst podcast is an understatement yeah , you can say that again . I'm here and it's the worst , worst but when I'm here it's the best , best .
Well , we'll accept that , but glad to have you aboard again . We are very thankful . She called me this morning and asked me what I was doing after work . Well , I was already off , so we decided to go get her and put together a podcast . Now , this one is a little bit too soon .
We have just did one on the 17th and we wasn't planning on doing another one . But since she called , why not ? We'll do a quick report and then we'll go on and talk to her for a little bit . It'll be a good time .
Got a lot of ketchup on here .
There we go .
Oh , how I miss that laugh .
Yeah , it's been kind of nice
¶ Weekly Earthquake Report Begins
, hasn't it , not being here , but we'll go over the quickly . But we'll go over them quickly . We'll go over the earthquake report . I've already jotted the numbers down and I'm going to have Lily write them down for us while I read them . That way we won't have to wait on them .
And really I was going to do a short report and maybe write it up and put it on the web page , but since she texted me , we'll just do the whole thing . But why it's important is because of some of the earthquakes that got hit .
Yes , it makes me kind of sad how many earthquakes ? Because I actually read an article out that there's more earthquakes than there has been in a whole month .
Yeah , there's been quite a few . We'll go over that . You want to go over that right now ? Let's go over that right now .
Let's go over it .
I keep hitting my mic . I don't think it's going to work out . I think I'm going to have to move it .
Yeah , move it up .
Move it up a little bit . Move it up a little bit .
We'll see what happens . We'll see what happens . Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah yeah .
All right , guys , quit yelling .
Go take a bath . How about that ? Go take one . Nope , I think I'm going to go take one .
Nope , I think I'm going to stay in Agrabah . Eww , eww , eww .
Sonny , you're going to take one at some point . You were jumping in muddy puddles when I arrived here .
Yeah , he likes doing that .
Yeah .
Like Peppa Pig .
It's supposed to be really hot this week , but today it's not too bad . It's about 82 .
last time I looked it's very humid , though it rained all morning . Right it rained all morning .
Yeah , it definitely did . All right , let's get back to the report . Oh shabam , if you've not heard the Ug , look the ugly quacking duck podcast before , again , this is episode 115 , and what we do is we read the last seven day earthquake report . We're reading it for this year , for 2019 , and for 2018 . So that's why we're not guessing much anymore .
But anyway , we'll just quickly go over that . If you want to go back and go to our webpage , theuglyquackingduckcom , go to the support page , go down to the bottom . You can actually print off this paperwork . Yes , that she's getting ready to use .
It actually has all four . It's a seven-day report , but it has four of them , and the last one is 30 days .
Which we don't do that until the end of the month .
Yeah , we don't do them until the end of the month .
Which is coming really quick .
Really quick the month . We don't do them until the end of the month , which is coming really quick , really quick , and it has the all magnitudes and all the magnitudes and it has the 6.0 and over and the location of those six points and over there you go , so I'm going to read them off to you .
To start out here we go free , you don't have to pay for it .
All you have to do is use paper to print it , or you can download it on your computer and fill it in .
Actually , I think my people might prefer that .
Yep .
Prefer that .
You can download it , yes , for free . You can change it if you want For free , all right . So we're going to start off . I put this together this morning before I went and got her , so it's changed a little bit , but we're going to go ahead and use the numbers that we had before .
So , starting for 72125 , which is today Yep , the all magnitude number is 2418 2418 .
That's a lot .
Yeah , 18 , 2418 . And the percentage is . You see that little percentage sign ? Yep , it's 24.2 , 24 and I get that for taking the 24 18 into the 10,000 count of earthquakes . That's how I do that . Now the 2.5 and over is 563 , which is a lot bigger 563? .
Yep , that's quite a bit , and the average is 23.3 , and I get that by taking the 563 into the 2418 .
Bro is smart .
And then the 4.5 and over earthquakes amounts to 190 . Okay , which is 7.9% .
Do I put that at the bottom ?
Yeah , right below it .
Does the 2.5 plus magnitude have the same thing ?
Yeah .
I didn't get that one 23.3 . 23 .
I may not have read it .
You might have and I just didn't catch it .
That's all right . Sometimes , and then there's quite a few earthquakes , all right . And then there's quite a few earthquakes , all right . Now , the 6.0 and over is the only ones we write down , because that's the really main problem
¶ Russia's Earthquake Cluster Analysis
ones . And there were several , there's actually eight , eight .
That's more than usual .
A lot more than usual . Now , some of them showed up last week on our report because , like I said , we just did this on the 17th . But we're going to go over it and I'm going to do them in order as they show up on the report , so the newest ones are first .
Okay .
So , excuse me , the first one was at Sandpoint , alaska . Okay , it was a 6.2 .
6.2 , Sandpoint .
Yeah , and it was Sandpoint Alaska .
I'm just talking to the mic . When I write these things down , I always do that on my bed .
That's no problem . And then the next one was 6.0 . 6.0 . Into the mic . When I write these things down , I always do that . My bad , that's no problem . And then the next one was 6.0 6.0 and it was in russia russia and then the next one was 6.6 6.0 also in russia .
Russia , actually , it's not actually in Russia , it's on the coast of Russia , on the edge .
I'll put on the coast of Russia .
That's alright , it's right on the edge , just like at Sandpoint , alaska was right on the edge of Alaska . These two earthquakes if you looked on a map you would see that they're really close together . Russia and alaska , that , um very edge points , are really close together .
Um just a little bit of ocean and land between them and that's where they're hitting that's like what I think mostly happens in between the ocean and then land . Yeah , most common .
Then the next one's , another 6.6 .
Dang , and it's also in Russia .
Wow , Russia's getting all of it .
Yeah , and then the next one was a 7.4 in Russia .
That's like the first I've ever seen a 7.4 , like doing the whole podcast .
It's a big one . And then before they had the 7.4 , they had another 6.6 in Russia . So if you look at the timeline , what happened ?
they had a 6.6 , a 7.4 and then they had a 6.6 , 6.6 , 6.0 aftershocks . If you guys like , if you look on this paper , like I tweeted the podcast , all you're going to see is sand point , alaska russia , coastal russia , russia , russia , russia , because this is all Russia .
Yeah , russia I mean , excuse me , sandpoint had some other earthquakes after their 7.3 .
They had a 7.3 ? Yep , I thought it was a 6.2 .
No , that's next 7.3 , alaska , and they had some like that 6.2 at the beginning and they had some fives .
Some fives .
Yeah , that's why you don't see them listed . And the last one , number eight , is a 6.2 in Panama .
I don't know how to spell that .
P-A-N .
P-A-N .
P-A-N , a-m-a .
A-M-A .
Hey , yay .
Panama City Beach , Florida .
No , I'm just kidding . No , this is Panama , the actual country , panama . Oh , and then let's go to . I want to move that mic a little bit . I hope that didn't hurt anybody . Let's go to the year 2019 . So that'll be your next column down .
This one .
Yeah , so what do ?
I do as a date 7-21-2019 .
We're going back in the day , we're teleporting .
Yep , we're going backwards .
So 7-21 .
2019 . 2019 . And the reason we are doing that is because of the seven-day break . I think it's going to be a six-day or six-year also .
Oh , all right .
But I've been going back for the last few weeks .
I forgot to ask you did the all-magnitude get a percentage ?
Yes .
Was it the one that was ?
24.2 .
Okay , because I thought it went at the bottom . But I was like , no , that's probably the one .
Oh , that reminds me there should be a percentage at the bottom of your sixes . It's to the left of it .
I don't see them .
Look down the 6.0 column .
Okay .
And then look , left just a little bit all the way down .
Oh yeah , I see that one .
All right , that's a 4.2 .
4.2 . There you go , all 4.2 .
There you go , alrighty . Okay , let's go to 7-21-2019 . We skipped backwards a few years .
I remember this year .
Time jumped .
It's the best year I've ever had Best summer .
All right . So the all magnitude is 8,183 . And that's not even the largest we've had for that year .
So 8,000 . I forgot the number . I'm so shocked 8,183 . 83 . Yeah , what's that percentage ?
81.8 . 81.8 . Wow , just to give you a reference point . Guess what last week's all numbers was ? Okay On 7-17-2019 .
Well if we're guessing , and it's 2-4-1-18 . 2-4-1-8 . I said that so wrong . 2019 . 2019 ? In 2019 ? Guess what it was I thought you meant wrong 2019 .
2019? , in 2019 ? Guess what it was .
I thought you meant last week , like in this year .
The last seven days of last 19 . However , you want to say that 6,000 . No , you're way off 7,000 .
No .
You're way off . 7,000 . No , you're way off 2,000 .
No 3,000 . No 4,000 .
No , you ready for me to give it to you 5,000 . No .
One .
No 10,000 ?
No , yeah , just give it to me 11,724 . Yeah , oh , Sonny , you're being quite over there .
See what I did . I went back and looked up some earthquake reports from different years and when I stumbled on 2019 , I went oh my gosh , these numbers are high .
That was right before the COVID year , so I'm kind of shocked , but I'm not that shocked .
Yeah , well , 2018 , which is seven years back from this year .
That's what it means as mirror , I'm pretty sure , Matt .
They're not as bad , but they're high . Not as bad , but they're high . So if we take the seven day and make it a seven year , that means next year will probably be pretty high . Yeah probably so . We'll have to watch and pay attention , but anyhow , all right . So back to the 2019-7-21 .
¶ Comparing Historical Earthquake Data
Back to the 2019-7-21 , the 2.5 and over numbers are 759 . 759 . Yeah .
And they're 9.3% , 9.3 . Yeah , that's actually so shocking .
Yeah , isn't it ? It's weird how that .
Yeah .
You always hear that earthquakes are getting worse , but when I went back and look at that year , it's not quite as worse .
That door just moved , that door I'm leaving All right , that door just moved that I'm leaving all right .
Well , the 4.5 now and over is 206 .
That seems common . Yeah , more common 206 . What's the percentage ?
2.5 percent 2.5% . And then of the 206 , there was three that was six and over . Okay , the first one's a 6.3 , and it's in Papua New Guinea 6.3 in Papua New Guinea . New Guinea .
New Guinea . Can you spell it out for me ?
No , okay .
It's Papa P-a-p-a , p-a-p-a , and then new n-e-w and then guineas g-u-i-n-e-a I feel like we've spelt that before .
I feel like that we've done that either like two months ago , because it pops up a lot , get it , papa , papa , all right . The next one was a 7.2 in Indonesia 7.2 .
Yep Indonesia .
Yep , yep .
In Indonesia .
Yep , now I spelled my best spelling that because we actually did a spelling bee on that . So I'm trying to work on it because we're doing it again this year .
Well , good luck on that . Yeah , thank you . And then the last one's a 6.6 , and it's at Cable Beach , Australia .
You can just write Australia down , if you want , I put Aussie , aussie , okay . But I can put Australia if you want me to .
That's all right . It's true , I'm getting a slight echo with that new mic .
It kind of sounds neat . Actually , do I need to switch it , or is it good ? I like it . Is it good ?
Okay , that made me worried for a minute if I hadn't told people that they wouldn't have known I just switched your mic we're doing it .
You can probably hear the difference maybe it sounds good .
It does sound good . That's the one I used to use when we was in the garage , remember it is yeah , for real yeah oh it looks .
It looks brand new .
Sorry , that's all right , my throat okay , and the last year will be 7 21 2018 , 2018 .
721 .
2018 .
2018 . It's crazy to think that I was six , five , I don't remember Probably like around six or five in that year , quite a while back . And I'm about to be 12 in a month .
This is our seven-year stretch , from that year to 18 to this year , 2025 . So if they follow suit , like I said , our seven day report seems to kind of flow that way . If they follow the seven year plan , I'm gonna call it a plan 2019 . Seven years from that will be 2026 . So 2026 could be a very difficult year .
It's probably going to be the most stressful year .
Bobby just left .
Oh .
She snuck out the door . She said peace .
And then there goes Winnie Yep , all right , and then there goes Winnie Yep .
All right , so the total of all for 2018 is 7,787 .
My brain is shattered . This is too much math . There's too much numbers on my summer break . So seven , what ?
700 . No 7,787 .
87 . So it would be 7,807? .
No 7,787 .
Oh , 7,787 .
7,787 .
7,787 .
Exactly All right , and that percentage would be87 . Exactly All right , and that percentage would be 77.9 .
77.9 .
And then the 2.5 and over would be 1920 . 1920 . 1920 .
1920 .
And their percentage is 24.7 .
24.7 .
And then the 4.5 and over is 122 . 122 .
122 . My 2s look like a Zs .
And it's a 1.6 . 1.6 .
1.6. , 1.6. , 1.6. , okay , 1 .
Okay , sorry .
And then there's 4. , 6.0 and overs .
Alright .
The first one is guess where ? Papua New Guinea .
I was going to say , say that you didn't even give me time . You said guess , and I yeah , so do you remember how ?
to spell that . Yes 6.0 Papua N-E-W-G-U-I-N-E-A .
Yay .
The next one's a 6.0 , also 6.0 . And it's in the Solomon Islands , which is very close to Papua New Guinea .
So do you want me to put ?
Solomon Islands . Yes , put Solomon Islands , please . How do you spell ?
the Solomon Islands Earth to Lily Islands . Please , how do you spell ?
Solomon Islands . Earth to Lily . Earth to Lily . Do you copy ?
No .
We want Solomon Islands . That's spelled S-O-L-O-M-O-N .
Oh pardon .
S-O-L-O-M-O-N Solomon . Islands , Islands yes , you like my microphone , like this .
Scares me , but yes , it sounds nice , scares you .
Wait till Halloween , we can have a lot of fun oh that was loud .
I'm so sorry . Yeah we're going to have a bunch of fun during Halloween .
And then the next one was a 6.0 , and they're in Kilima , yeaman , yeaman , and that's spelled K-I-l-m-i-a , k-i-l-m-i-a , and it's actually that's the town or the city yeeman , y-e-m-e-n y-e-m-e-n y-e-n-m-m-m is in mary y-e-m-e-n new .
There's a new in front of that new okay , that , that's a no spell one for me , okay , last one .
Last one's , another 6.0 in the exact same place .
Okay .
It's just pure silence . I don't like it .
Okay , we're done it is .
And that's a 3.3% on that one 3.3% , okay , one 3.3% .
Okay , we're actually done now .
We're actually done now and that means we're going to go into a little bit of discussion . Wait a minute , okay . Well , thank you for writing that earthquake report down . Well , thank you for writing that earthquake report down .
If you tuned in and listened to that and you found it a little bit boring dealing with the numbers , I'm sorry , but I like to give that report out every time I do a podcast , kind of keep us abreast of what's going on . However , now the fun begins , we get to talk to Lily . However , now the fun begins , we get to talk to Lily , and
¶ Lily's Disney World Adventure
I know for a fact she recently went down to Disney World and Right , disney World or Disneyland , which is it ?
Disneyland is in California . We went to Disney World in Florida , Orlando .
All right , I always get those two mixed up .
Yeah .
Yeah , people do it . I don't I know everything .
Okay , then what's two plus two ?
I'm not telling .
Okay , okay , not very smart , but yeah , disney World .
Disney World Awesome , so tell us about it . How long was the trip ?
Well , do you want me to count Disney ? Or when we went to Daytona , I picked up at Daytona , or just the Disney days , just tell us about the trip . Like the whole trip yeah .
The Disney trip ? Yeah , just tell us about the trip .
We left on the 29th and we left town the 29th and then we left Florida the 5th .
Oh , so you got down there , and when did you get down ? There , the 30th 30th , so it took you a whole day .
It took us 14 , 13 , 13 hours .
I don't remember for sure . Yeah .
We went through the most prettiest states cities Nashville , atlanta and it was at nighttime too , so it was really , really pretty .
Cool , that sounds cool .
For some reason , Atlanta is really busy at like three o'clock in the morning . For some reason .
People getting off work .
Party time in Atlanta .
Who knows ?
Yeah , we got to Daytona around 9 , I think 9 or 10 . Time changed , so it was like 8 , 9 here .
Oh yeah , I forgot . They're an hour ahead , aren't they ? Yeah , they're an hour ahead . Ouch .
So we couldn't check in yet . So we went to the beach and I was not feeling well during that one . I was still kind of car lagged , you know , like jet lag , I mean like you're jet lagged from the plane .
Well , you spent all day in the car , yeah like you're like jet , like from the plane .
Well , you spent all day in the car , so , yeah , yeah , and I was off and on sleeping , because it's kind of hard to sleep in a car , but when we left I was feeling better , so , disney so how much time did you get to spend in disneyland ? Disney world disney world . Excuse me everybody um , we went to all the different .
We went to the water park Blizzard Beach on our first time , when we first got there . We went to Blizzard Beach because it was actually a free check-in our first day .
Wow .
After that we went to Disney Springs and we went to Magic Kingdom . We didn't make it to Animal Kingdom , sadly , because they close at like 4 . So there's always a next time , which we'll probably be going again , that's a lot of territory to cover . It's a lot of stuff to cover , yeah yeah , so we mainly just visited the most famous spots .
I got to meet a lot of princesses and a lot of characters .
I've seen the video your mom sent us of you dancing and her dancing with . Now , where was that ?
Dancing . I have to remember dancing , dancing , dancing .
You was inside dancing with a whole bunch of other people and princesses .
Oh , the little dance party ? Yeah , they were . Yeah , it was like a . It was musical chairs but there was no chairs . It was like a circle . It's like a musical circle . There was like a dance , so like you would have to like dance once the people are moving .
Did you have ?
fun yeah , that was fun Good .
Yeah , cool .
We did some small rides because my stomach can't handle roller coasters , so we did a few fun small rides .
Would you be mad if I told you I forgot to hit record ? No , no .
I just spent the whole time talking . You're just going to pull that little trick on me .
No , I didn't . It time talking . You're going to pull that little trick on me . No , I didn't . It's recording Okay .
Yeah , but it was a lot of fun . It was a lot of fun .
Well , good , I'm glad you got to have a little bit of fun . You got to see the ocean .
I got to see the ocean and get in the ocean , have some seashells yeah .
Now we went down and seen the ocean years ago , when you was really small and you did not like it .
I've never liked the ocean . I've always hated the ocean for some reason . I think it was just like the sharks and like the jellyfish .
But you got in it this time , right , I did .
I got in the waves too .
Cool .
Yeah , we saw sharks too .
I bet there's a lot of them .
Yeah .
Seems like there's more of them .
We were like at the beginning of the Pacific Ocean . So a lot of sharks , yeah , a lot of sharks .
A lot of sharks .
Did see any um stingrays or anything like that uh , no , not that I know of I know every time I've been down we got to see the stingrays .
We don't really go that deep in there , though we don't really go that deep in the ocean , I don't . I don't really go that deep in the ocean . I don't go that deep in the ocean . I stay like .
Right on the edge , huh .
No , Like this is the sand . That's how far I'll go .
And for people that can't see her hands .
It's like one , two , three , four , five , six , seven , seven feet from shore , if you're being technical .
And it doesn't drop off very quick . You have to go out quite a ways before the water starts dropping off .
I wouldn't be like , not like like when the waves start , I wouldn't be like in the middle of it , because it's just nice to like , go and feel the nice cold water . The water was so cold , it rained , that's one so cold .
It rained . That's one thing I got surprised about Every time I've been to any of the oceans , except for the one place in the Gulf . I went and the water was actually warm . But , everywhere else we went swimming , and when I went to California , I went surfing actually , and I couldn't last very long because I wasn't dressed for it .
We went swimming and when I went to California , I went surfing , actually , mm-hmm , and I couldn't last very long because I wasn't dressed for it . It was cold and I was shocked because I feared the ocean would be nice and warm .
Yeah .
And then , when I was younger , we went to West Virginia and we went swimming and it was freaking cold .
Yeah , yeah , went swimming and it was freaking cold . Yeah , um , yeah , I was . I was expecting it to be like semi , semi cold , semi warm but no , it was freezing . Yeah , that's that ocean and then it rained all night oh midday . Yeah , definitely recommend not going to the Ocean Street after you get out of the car Rest for a minute .
Take a break , I don't like .
If you ever go to Daytona Beach , do not stay at the one that has that's yellow and it's small , horrible beds . Water all over the fridge , big bathroom , but horrible beds , not a comfortable , comfortable bed do not sleep there , do not stay .
They have a lot of turnover people coming and going all the time .
The disney one was actually fairly fancy . They had a disney alexa in there when we walked in . The tv had her name on it .
yeah , you sent me a picture , a picture . That was cool , that was cool .
I had my own card . I got Simba from Lion King because I'm like a child , but yeah , it was a lot of fun , definitely .
So you've got memories that should last you for a long time .
But there's a story behind it that no one knows .
What's that ?
I had no phone .
Oh yeah , Tell us about that . You was on your way down .
It was a nice 7 pm evening . Someone's going down . We had to potty . We turned to the nearest gas station . I take my phone into the bathroom , we do our business , we wash our hands . I walk out with the bathroom . I walk out .
Walk out with the bathroom .
I walk out of the bathroom with the phone in my hand . If I can remember correctly , I might have , I might have put it on top
¶ The Lost iPhone Saga
of the car , I might have left it on top of the car , but I left it in the bathroom . Well , about five minutes away from the gas station , where is my phone ? No idea . We stop again , lily , looking for my iPhone . No sign of it . So we go on after tears and sleep . We arrive in Daytona and we check and find my iPhone .
It's on the interstate of Tennessee we call the Tennessee police . They go out and they will give us a call back when they find it . They found my case . I put the alert thing that you can do For my iPhone and they found my phone no damages Great , I spent a whole vacation without it , got it back After the vacation and loved it .
I loved having it back . It felt so nice you're attached to it three days later not even like maybe four I drop it in the pool and you had it at the pool at my own pool lesson learned .
What do you do with a phone when you get near water ?
You drop it . So I have a new phone now . So for all you guys that want to take your phone to the pool , keep it at least six feet away from the pool . Do not take your phone to the pool , not even with a pouch . Yeah , so that's my story of how I had to get a new phone .
Yeah , what an interesting story .
Yeah , that's a story , yeah .
That's a shame .
Yeah , but I was due for kind of an upgrade anyway .
So oh , you did it on purpose so you'd get an upgrade , did you ? I know how that works .
And you sleep extra so you can hop out of bath time . Yeah , I see how you are honey yeah , I know how you are too .
I see through the blinds I'm not a window .
Thank you though anyway , that was well who was that eddie , eddie getting on the chair yeah , the chair spans when they jump on it , so but I was wanting to get you over here and talk about that , but we never had the chance . So luckily you called or texted .
Luckily I reached out you reached out . I reached out .
And we got to do it .
We got to do it .

¶ Grand Canyon Fires Discussion
that uh I don't know if you've heard anything about the uh stuff that they've been finding there over the years and it's been coming out I have a voice recording right here if you want me to play it .
If not , that's okay .
Is it audio music ?
It's just audio . Audio , I think . Hold on , not the computer .
All right , while she's talking about checking that out , apparently they've found over the years lots of different artifacts and okay , yeah , no music , just audio okay , and but now it's starting to come out over all those years and all of a sudden they're having this huge fire .
Yeah .
Kind of strange .
And we don't get answers until after it's all done . After it's all gone , they just say this caused this . Yeah , tell us before , tell us during it , tell us what we want to know , you know .
It began July the 9th about 35 miles north of Dragon Bravo Fire . Yeah , that's the White Saga Fire , and the Bravo Fire started before that . It looks like a mess . Anyway , what do you want to play ?
I can . How long is it ? Let me see it's a 50-second song .
Okay , shoot for it . We don't know what we're gonna get , but we're gonna leave it up to I haven't heard the whole thing , so if it's not true , I'm very sorry .
We'll find out arizona officials say a wildfire at the Grand Canyon's north rim continues to burn and the state's Governor , katie Hobbs , is calling for an investigation as to how the blaze was handled as she meets with federal officials next week .
The fire began July 4th as a result of a lightning strike , but the National Park Service allowed it to burn as part of a confine and contain strategy that the Park Service has used for decades to clear dense vegetation . The governor spoke with reporters after touring the fire by helicopter . It's so devastating as a lifelong Arizonan .
It just is a reminder of the shared stewardship we have of this land and this iconic treasure of the Grand Canyon .
The fire has charred more than 18 square miles of land as of Saturday . Of the Grand Canyon , the fire has charred more than 18 square miles of land as of Saturday .
All right . Well , there you go , folks .
When the woman was talking . It's not very good quality because you're by the fire .
It wasn't that bad , though your phone actually does a pretty good job . I could have got it better if I plugged it in , but that's all right .
I was kind of shocked because you said it started july 9th 19th .
No , that's the second .
There's two different fires fires , yeah , in the grand canyon burning I was kind of shocked when they said that they let it burn . Yeah , it's like . Well , why like they should ? Have we not learned our lesson by all these things ?
No , we're humans . We don't learn the lessons . We just repeat history over and over and over .
And it's been . It probably took a long time trying to build that or trying to make it , and people visit it multiple times and you just let it burn . After everything that people you've worked on creating it for so long the world has trained to is trying to make cool landscapes .
Don't try to make sense out of something illogical , because you can't . They're just . That's the problem with all this new stuff we try to make logical sense out of illogical stuff and it just don't work . It leaves us all going what , what yeah don't do that but anyway , I appreciate you talking about all the floods .
They're happening all over the country , but not only that all over the world .
Yeah .

Devastation . Anyhow , we won't keep everybody . I'm glad you came here and got on the podcast . I'm sorry we took too much of the podcast trying to give us that report . It's kind of necessary but unnecessary , so I don't know how to keep handling it .
Yeah , but what I was trying to make sense there is this there's really no way to make sense of it .
It does not .
Just watching a beautiful place that God built burn .
Yep .
Just letting it burn makes no sense .
Well , they use that . If it's a controlled small area , they do that to burn off all the brush and stuff yeah but they apparently didn't have it under control to do anything with yeah all right , we're gonna leave it with you guys . Thank you for tuning in to the ugly quacking duck .

You are in a high risk of flooding through august and october yeah , um , we don't really get flooded that much like the only bad flood I think I've seen was like a few years back did you see the pictures from flora yesterday ? I think I did , they flooded .
Yeah , they flooded yeah , it's been all around us , but we've been blessed and not had to deal with that .
But that doesn't mean we don't need to be praying for these other people yeah , just because be grateful that we are not in the situation , but also pray for the people that are in the situation .
