¶ Episode Introduction and New Family Member
All right . Ladies and gentlemen , this is Bruce from the Ugly Quacking Duck and we are live . Say hi , we're with Lily .
Hi , hi , don't forget me , bruce , hi , lily .
Hi Hello , we weren't going to forget you , sonny . And hi , lily again , and we're welcoming you to the first . I think this is your first live , isn't it ? yeah okay , cool . Well , the . The purpose is to hopefully bring some local people in , involving them in the live .
So you know we're going to have to get it going smoothly and get some advertising to local people , because that's the plan and if it works out maybe we'll have more people involved , and right now it's just kind of a practice . Yeah , but if this works , then that recording that I make off of this will be a part of the regular recording .
So , yay , and I've used riverside . This time we did podbean . The first time I did it alive , I didn't have any guests come in , so it worked out good . The second , second time I tried Podbean , I had a caller come in , mark , and it had a real bad echo .
Come to find out I was having trouble with the laptop and I was having trouble with when I hit to monitor on my computer it made it echo really bad . So I don't know what was going on . But I've tried riverside and it seemed um , pretty nice , seemed like it was working good .
So we're gonna hang out with that and see what happens yeah , we're gonna hang out with Bruce and see how bad he can mess it up .
Wow , wow . Well , we're not gonna say Bruce anymore , we're gonna say Brooke . How about it's gonna be Brooke this time ? Sonny , it's been Brooke .
I heard that . I want you to know . I heard that .
Oh , you poor thing , Brooke .
Okay , well , anyhow , yeah , anyway , this is episode 102 being recorded after the live show goes out . We had something exciting happen in the family . I want to announce that right off the bat .
Is it what I think it is ?
Probably right off the bat , is it what I think it is ? Probably last friday I was at work and I received this video on my phone . Um , this is friday morning and I received a video from my family up in washington and it was a picture , a video actually , of a new baby . So I've got wow , that motorcycle is loud , I've got a new .
That's one thing I like about this uh weather we're having . We got the windows open .
It's fresh air , pretty nice and there's raw noises from the window yeah , a lot of .
We're right next to the highway , so we experienced that last summer , if you remember , and then we put an air conditioner window . We heard that . So that's just part of our studio .
Hey , that's just life the struggle was we had to like turn it off and on between takes in the podcast we did , but that's , you know , part of being , uh , just a hobby type of podcasting person it's better than being in the garage , honestly .
Yeah , the garage is hot and cold , just according to what season it was . But anyhow , back to my story . All right , I'm jumping in my seat . Yeah , it was a picture of my new great-grandson after he'd been born .
Is that my cousin ?
Yeah , yeah , no , no , yeah , something'm . We'll have to figure that out , but yeah , that was cool . Yeah , it put me on top of the day .
Man , I was all anxious and excited and bouncing around the rest of the day I was at school and I and when I I opened my phone at home because I just got home I went on snapchat and I opened it and I just saw baby yeah , it was kind of cool I was like oh yeah it was really cool , so we want to welcome philip .
It's a week late , philip , I'm sorry about that , but I tried to do a podcast that day and it just went south , so I'm doing it now .
The storm's about to go south .
Yeah , we'll talk about that in a few minutes actually . And the moon , yeah , and earthquakes . We've got a lot of things to talk about . Phillip , welcome to the family , welcome to the world , we're glad to have you aboard . So , um , here we go , there you go . That's for philip . Wait a minute .
Let's ring some bells for philip too , to announce that I can get carried away , can't I guys ?
¶ Podcast Format and Technical Updates
I would do the same thing if I were you . I don't think the bells work anymore . There you go , there you go .
Bing , bing . All right , that was kind of a very late start to the bell and my buttons wasn't working or something , but anyhow , we have some bells , some some whistles . Do we have any whistles today ?
we can have .
I can do a handmade whistle if I've got some whistles , but hey , I've got , I've got stuff over here too .
So I don't know my whistle . Where did my whistle go ? I don't know where my whistle . Where did my whistle go ?
I don't know , I didn't see .
I think you've lost your mind .
I don't see no whistle .
I think it's all over , dear .
I think it ran away from me .
Well . I don't know . I don't know where it went . You must have threw it over there . It's not behind you , is it ? Nope ? I don't know where it went . You must have threw it over there . It's not behind you , is it ? No , I don't know .
I swear .
Weird , weird , weird , weird .
That's very weird .
All right on the format . Here's the two things I wanted to do live . I was going to keep it short to about 15 minutes and then finish recording my podcast later and adding that 15 minutes on at the end .
But this time around I think we're just because I'm using riverside and it's got better quality than I was using before a little longer yeah , we're going to do the whole podcast today on this on this live platform , see how it records out and if it works , we may do that more often . Um , so you know , we're just going to go that route .
So , oh , we want to do the local weather because we're wanting to do local , local yoko . You know what that means .
Found it . I found my whistle .
Found your whistle .
Found my whistle . You're loco I can do my whistle .
Yep , okay , you can do your whistle . While you're doing your whistle , I'm going to look for my weather app .
Do I go down or up first ?
Either way .
There you go , Phillip .

Mom's mom .
Phillip's mom listens to the podcast and tells him all of it's for him . There you go . So we're dedicating this mess today and I call it a mess because every time we do a podcast it always becomes kind of tedious . Something funny happens every single time , I feel and this time we're doing live , so I can't stop it .
Pause , go get a drink or whatever we want to do , so we're going to have to just live with I remember that one time when I brought ghosty on here a few years ago and he bumped his eye on the microphone oh yeah I could not stop laughing yeah , I think I got that one on tape though and then on the recording remember when I like just like you started off
the podcast with me giggling yeah , yeah there's a lot of funny moments that I have them are good moments .
So they're . They're show people we're actually live and we're not um just sitting here like whoa , whoa yeah , we're not pretending we're real . We're not aliens trust okay , so uh want to talk about earthquakes let's do the earthquake thing first , and that will give me time
¶ Earthquake Report and Dad Jokes

I stuck it in here somewhere , okay , so I'm just gonna check it and see if anything changed okay , you check it , see if anything or changed or broke . Okay , okay , hold on .
Okay . Well , while Bruce is looking for something and Lily's over there looking for something , I'm going to talk about jokes . Are you ready for this ? Here's a new dad joke . Did you hear about the wig thief who escaped from prison ? Guess what happened ? The police are combing the area to find him .
Okay , that's wonderful . Um thank you , Sonny . Um thank you , sonny oh , you're welcome .
You're welcome , I'm taking my bow taking the bow , taking the bow .
Okay , I changed everything .
So okay so we had some changes . I take it we had to update on the earthquake report they went down , went down that means some of them rolled off it went down again .
Okay , you know what hold on yeah , that's probably what I'm gonna look at the paper anyway , okay , so do you know last week's ?
yeah , we need , we need to know last week , and then we have to give last week's was three , which is also the actual month , march 7th 2025 .
The total in all was 2081 . Thank you for that car . We love the sound . The 2.5 plus was 262 . The 4.5 plus Thank you again . The 4.5 plus was 86 . What are your guesses for today , this week ?
All right , sunny , you want to go first . You want me to ? I think , I think you should go first all right , I'll go first um what was the total again for the last week or two weeks ago um 2081 , so 2081 okay , I'm gonna say 2150? . Yeah , so somewhere around 2100 .
I don't know exactly how much , but Okay , let me just put your name here .
All right .
Oh , I forgot some steps . There was a 6.0 and a 6.1 . The 6.1 was in Chile .
Okay , yeah , and I'm going to turn it over to Sonny . Sonny , what do you think ?
I think you went up , so I'm going to go down . It's going to be around 1975 . That was a good year , right , bruce , you old man . Ha ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha ha , old man , ha ha , ha , ha , ha ha .
Ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha , ha ha . What was your guess ? I don't know how I want to take that . Let's see , let's help him out a little bit .
What was your guess , Brooke ? What did you guess ? If you don't remember , you can change it 1975 . Sonny , I said Brooke .
Oh , I was excited . Somebody called on me Darn it .
It's okay , don't worry , you're good .
Well , my guess was 21 , 2100 , I think 20 2150 , 2100s , somewhere in the 2150 2150 okay yeah , somewhere in I've been trying to round them off . So you know he's in the 1900s , I'm in the 2100s do you want to guess the 2.5 for the 4.5 ? So no , no , we'll just go on from there .
So we're just going to based on who was closer . The total and all was 1942 wow , wow it went down a lot , I got it .
Oh , man , hang on , I got it .
Even Sonny giggled a little bit himself .
Yeah , that was oh boy . Yeah , you know , that was close , wasn't it Sonny's ?
Yeah , yeah , he said 1975 , you said 2150 and it was what .
19 1942 wow so we're back to like he used to do . He would guess it almost on the nose , because that's really close .
You know this thing guess it almost on the nose , because that's really close . I want to you know this thing .
I've got one of those sounds .
You can do it for Sonny , because he got it right . Well , I can do it .
Let me do an applause for him . Here you go , Sonny . This is for you .
Thank you , thank you , thank , thank you . I'm taking another bow . See , I am it , I'm the guy yeah , good job , good job .
I don't know how he does that so good , but but he did do that , and neither one of us has seen those earthquakes , so it went down . That's a good thing , right ? So that means less , less earthquakes . Oh , and then read the numbers .
It's 1943 now .
See if those went down on other numbers .
Okay , the 2.5 was 265 . So it went up like a few because the last week's was 262 .
And .
And the 4.5 for last week was . Last week was oh , was , oh . That's boring . What last week was 86 , this week it's just 85 . It just went down one . We have a 6.5 . I didn't write the country that it was in because none of us would be able to pronounce it . Even if we tried , we could never get it .
But I can recheck again to see if there was any added ones . Well , go ahead , add it up and see what's extra .
There's nothing . It's just the 6.5 , so nothing .
Nothing new , huh , nothing new so where does that put us ?
Higher or lower on them ?
There we go , I got it .
Yeah , that's my duck call that Shannon got me . It sounds pretty good . It does sound like a duck .
Yeah , it does . So what did you say my dad I did ? What was the 6.0s ? Did you read them all ?
I read them when I was telling you the total . Oh , I thought that was for last week , no , last week we had two it was a 6.0 and a 6.1
¶ Weather Alert: Severe Storm Warning
. This week we leave it at 6.5 , but none of us could pronounce the state or country that it's in , so I didn't even try to put it on there .
If you click on it .
I clicked on it it shows it on the map .
Where's it at ?
I'll have to go back .
If you can kind of estimate where it's at for the audience .
It's in the middle of nowhere .
Okay .
So yeah . But so , sonny , you had your own little dad joke yep , and he told it too . He's such a smart guy well , I have my own joke do you well , tell it , tell it , tell it , forrest please . Well .

Yeah , I know .
Thank you .
My phone is killing me .
You just hear the clapping and then it's just molder . It's me . Yeah , that laughing was the . The applause was on my mixer box , but the laughing was on the studio stuff . So they've got neat stuff over here that I can use , which is cool .
Yeah .
So I'm trying to get to the weather map . So if everybody hang on to me or hang on with me , and I'll let Lily and Sunny talk while I try to figure out what's going on , so take it away .
So Sunny . You hear the storm that's a-brewing .
Yeah , we're going to talk about that weather . Let's talk about it , Hi .
Lily , well , let me look up how it's going to be so I can , you know , get the perfect explanation to these people that live in the southern part of Illinois Weather .
That's what Bruce is doing .
He's got a big storm . You know , duck , duck go isn't giving me anything but websites that probably aren't safe , so we're gonna look it up on my phone . Does that sound like like a good deal sunny ?
well , bruce does that . He's got an app that does all that .
Well , I have one too .
Okay , alright , I didn't know it was competing .
So I'm not going to read the full article , but I will read you some parts of it . Okay , alright , I'm ready . Central Illinois there's a payment in the way , my bad . Central Illinois's there's a payment in the way , my bad . Anyway . Central Illinois's storm warning damaging winds up to 75 miles per hour and large hail possible through 7 pm tonight .
Springfield , illinois . A significant severe weather outbreak is expected across Illinois starting Friday evening , bringing the threat of tornadoes , damaging winds and large hail . The National Weather Service has issued a level four moderate risk for severe storms across much of the state , partially in central and southern Illinois .
Wow , we're going to have fun tonight .
So what it's telling me is where we live'm not gonna say where we live , but where we live in our small town . We're in the path of the storm , so we're gonna be like right in the middle of the storm yeah , that's what I've been hearing .
Uh , I had a gentleman actually come into work . I didn't tell you this , lily , but yesterday afternoon about three o'clock I had a gentleman come in , an older man , and he walked in , walked up to the counter back there in my department , kind of leaned over the counter and he said does this place sell weather radios ? And I said no , I'm sorry , we don't .
And he said , well , you should don't . And he said well , you should . And I said , well , why is that ? and he said because there's a tornado getting ready to go right through here there is and he said that and he , I said okay and kind of dismissed it and he started to walk off and he said I said , why no ?
I said how did you come up with that information ? Because I figured he'd just been on a weather map and he's going to tell me what one . He was on Right , and he pointed up to the ceiling and said the Lord told me . And then he just walked off .
Wow .
Yeah , that's . He just walked off . Wow , yeah , that's well . If you take that kind of uh information , as you know , a warning and there you go .
I mean whatever the lord tells you .
Whatever the lord tells you , I have more to read okay , uh , you do your thing and then I'll do mine , but this is for our local people . That's what we do .
Local weather for in central and yeah , we live in the midwest southern illinois and that's pertaining to that so if you're tuning in , you should probably listen a little bit just to be , just to be prepared .
You can't talk , okay , according to the illinois emergency management system agency not system my bad storms are expected to begin in west central illinois around 7 pm friday and move eastward overnight . Potential hazards include wind gusts exceeding seven miles per hour , hail , larger hail larger than a ball and the possibility of multiple tornadoes .
Heavy rainfall may also lead to localized flooding . Schools on Monday , tuesday , wednesday and Thursday , possibly Friday , will be canceled because of flooding and maybe possible more tornadoes , more tornadoes .
A second wave of storms is possible Saturday afternoon in southern east Illinois , with threats including 60-plus mph winds , large hail over an inch in diameter and isolated tornadoes . Residents are urged to stay weather-aware and have a safety plan in place . And have a safety plan in place .
Officials recommend securing outdoor objects , charging mobile devices and ensuring access to storm shelters if needed . Stay tuned to local weather updates and alerts for latest developments .
Cool . Okay , while we're talking about that , I'm going to give a shout out to the weather guy we like to watch on youtube ryan hall , y'all yep , there you go . Thank you , lily he , he .
Really , if you can watch him at home right now , you can turn him on . He's always live . When there's like weather , he's always . I think he's like every day , for , like any state that's having a weather problem , I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what ?
yeah , he told told us on the one yesterday that he would probably be starting on friday night and he'd probably have to do a 36 hour . He didn't know how he was going to do that , but we watched him this morning .
He was live this morning at like five six he was already live yeah yeah , we may have turned him on here , but yeah we have a question this morning .
Remember this morning we had we had him on here . Well , that was his bot .
He has a bot that he programmed that actually has a live channel of its own yeah that it's pretty well on all the time , and I follow that one too .
This is not a very nice way for a spring to say hi to us ?
Well , no , I tell people that winter's crying out the door . It's leaving us , so we're getting rain and the people up north of us is getting snow . Wow , For the last thing .
A hundred jobs , or like buildings , power got cut off .
From the storm already . From the storm already . All right , well , let's switch gears here , and I got my app up . So it's 81 degrees here and it's sunny with wind . The humidity here in southern Illinois is 37 degrees , the wind is 23 miles an hour and its air quality is 54 degrees today .
Now , if we compare that to Phoenix Arizona I like to do that , so you kind of get a feel of what's going on the humidity there is 41 degrees instead of r37 , so they're actually higher right now , which is kind of strange . Yeah , their winds only six miles an hour and their air quality is 26 , which is great . Well , I call it great , but it's good .
Ours is 54 , which is moderate so it's actually 79 , which is basically 80 degrees upside .
It's 84 here .
Right now 84 here Yep . Wow .
Yep , and it's marked . Yeah , the winds are coming from the south 25 to 35 miles an hour at this time . Now they're talking about when them storms blow in . We're supposed to have wind gusts um hurricane level at times , so yikes yeah , this is definitely .
this is like the last year's storm , do you ? Do you remember the last year's storm ? Do you remember the last ?
year's storm . Yeah , a couple times .
I think it's like bigger because Thank you for that .
They seem like they want to rev up when they go by the house , don't they Right ?
yeah , they said possibly an EF2 tornado or even higher , which is very , very odd for our Illinois state , because usually if there's tornadoes , it's like a , like a simple tiny one .
You know our town hasn't had one since . Well , I'm not gonna go into that , but it's been a long time , a big one , I mean I'm about to be 12 and I've never seen a tornado . I've seen like well , let's pray , that stays that way .
Yeah let's pray that I don't have to either even see one or even be in one .
Oh no , I don't like that all right , I don't have anybody still trying to knock on the door , um , which is a shame there's no one here yet no one here no that's okay I wish yours was working so you could see and kind of get an adjustment of what's happening . I'm gonna have to figure out why that's not working , but we'll do that again later .
Um , all right , slight bad pause it's so silent yeah , it is silent you guys are pathetic .
You know that I could go to sleep listening to you . You're so slow on your comments .
Sunny , you want to know something . Let's just say that you were outside around 6 pm and we never told you anything about the storm and you saw it raining really hard and there's a big , larger than a golf ball .
I didn't say you were boring because of that information . You said y'all . I said because you pause so long , so long , so long .
Now finishing my story . Wow , what if you're outside and we never even said anything ?
about the storm and you're just . You're just a small duck .
Um , wow , should I be saying duck ?
I . I thought maybe he's going to explode doing that , you know .
Yeah , me too . I saw his face getting pretty red .
Yeah , it looked like he was going to just into nothing .
Into nothing .
Yeah .
Into nothing . What was that ? For that sounded like thunder . What was that ?
What was that ? Look at , sounded like thunder . What was that ? What was that ? Look at ? Oh my gosh , look at Sunny . Something's going on , what's going ?
on Sunny , are you ? Why is there a shining light ? What's going on ? Why is there a shining ?
light . Oh , my Wait , that's not sunny . That's not sunny . What is that ? That's not sunny , that's a frog .
¶ Sonny's Mysterious Transformation
That is a frog . What the heck . I told you I was an alien . You didn't believe me , man , I don't , um , I should have had the camera on .
I should have had the camera on .
I should have had the camera on , there was like a bright light and Sonny was floating .
Yeah , I think he sucked in too much air when he was doing that thing , because what happened to you , sonny ? Now he's a frog .
I'm morphed , I'm a morpher . Oh .
A morpher ? Okay , that's a new one for me . New word okay , sunny , just more you're the frog .
Yes , I did wait . Wait . He has a headset now . He's never had a headset before well , he had that one .
It was his mic on , but oh yeah that was weird .
That was weird .
I'm freaked out , but your , your name is still sunny , right oh yeah , I'm sunny I think a little bit bigger uh , yeah , and take a picture of me real quick , okay , and we will send it to our website if you're subscribed . If you you're not subscribed , go subscribe so you can listen to this stuff live .
But if you are , anyway , we're going to put a picture up there and you'll be able to see it . But that was wild . Sonny is now different . Yeah , he's a morpher , I'm a morpher . All right , we got some pictures coming and we're gonna we're gonna put them online and uh , wow , that's a first for me . You're a frog , I'm a frog , you're a frog .
Okay , well , sunny was something like a duck . I wasn't sure it was a duck , sonny wasn't smiling .
Sonny , you need to smile .
Oh .
There you go .
He's acting weird too . He is , I don't know , but anyway we've gotten pictures of the new morphed Sonny .
Speaking of pictures , did you guys go outside during midnight ? I know some of you might have not , but I was up , I did and it was a full moon phase , which means it was a lunar eclipse , total lunar eclipse , and I got some pictures and we're going to put them up on the website .
Yeah , apparently that kind of eclipse that they had made the sun look red or orange .
It went through the umbra and the pre-umbra .
Do you know ?
what the difference is between those .
No .
So the umbra is basically a fancy word for shadow . It's a Latin word for shadow , so it's like the earth has to go in that , and then when it goes back , so then when it goes out , it's the pre-numbra . So the pre-number makes the earth I mean I mean the moon dark , so like you can't see it , and then it'll come back into the normal moon .
So the umbra is totally , is part , partly blocked , and then the pre-number is totally blocked . I think , if I , if I remember correctly in science class , that's what I learned okay , well , um , we may finish the live before I post those pictures of sunny .
Yes , that's gonna be hard to say sunny when I'm looking at that frog at a frog because I've been used to wow . I'm blowed away I mean I , I'm starting to believe him when he says he's really an alien because a pony or a cat because he can't play in the water no more oh , that's right but he can now .
He can still play in the water I could , as a duck , really I could , but you're a frog yeah , yeah , ain't it great , but you can still play in the water , though .
That's one point .
Yep , that's true , as long as I stay inside , because I don't have feathers to protect me in the winter . We got you .
We'll take care of you , Sonny . We do .
And what's that in your hands ? You have like a black cup with purple stuff in it .
That's my cauldron .
So you're a witch and a frog .
Oh , I'm so much more .
You're scaring me , please stop .
I just got weird it's very awkward much more .
Okay , tune in next week and maybe we'll find out something different besides maybe we'll even sunny's morphing maybe we'll have even another bigger announcement coming from me don't tease us I won't , you won't get out early next friday ?
tease us , I won't . You won't get out early next Friday , though , so we probably won't be able to do this . I can do it now , okay Shoot , or go ahead , or wait a minute . Wait a minute , let me see if I can find it .
Just a warning . This is really big to me . So you guys know how I watch my wrestling and this is really big to me . But some people are like that's just a stupid thing , but to me it's really serious . So my favorite wrestler , rhea Ripley , held the WWE Women's Championship .
Women . She just got back in January .
Women's okay , she just got back in January . She had a match , she had a .
No women , she had a match .
She had a match .
I think he's kind of lost his mind because he's not even making sense right now . I think something needs to kind of that way he'll be back even making sense right now . Yeah , I think something needs to kind of yeah , yeah , and that that way he'll be back to making sense anyway , I always make sense anyway .
Um , that's odd .
Look at me I'm low please stop , that's scary okay introducing Sonny as the nutcase in the house . I'm no longer taking that position . He's done . Stole it , go ahead .
Lily anyway , creepy little Sonny , now not even a duck anymore , just a frog . It's not even Halloween , man , I know . I think he transformed into something that he meant to transform into Halloween .
Yeah , he didn't do it . Maybe that's why he's been so cranky , yeah maybe Anyway , tell your story .
So she had a match . I think it was this month or maybe last month , I don't remember Orton beat last month . I don't remember . It's just so upsetting . Oh , grandma just texted me .
Well , that's cool .
She lost it .
She lost it .
She lost her championship because EO Sky beat her . So that's not the big announcement . The big announcement is scrolling through Facebook . Last night I saw a triple threat match is going to happen at WrestleMania . And I saw a triple threat match is going to happen at WrestleMania and it's against the new championship winner , io Sky , rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair .
They all have .
I don't know any of those names .
They all have beef with each other , it's just .
Oh , so they're fighting in between each other .
Right , so a triple threat match is no one on the same team , they're just between each other . Right so a triple threat matches no one on the same team , they're just fighting each other when's that going to happen ?
wrestlemania 41 , which is april 19th to the 20th 21st 21st you still owe me and the audience a story about your wrestlemania . Yeah , that you went to . When was that ? February , january . February 1st and yeah , we never got you back on here , was it fun ?
it was very fun . Um , I was shocked because John Cena came back . John Cena was back . He came back for this . He almost won and the whole entire crowd was like so silent when he got kicked out . And then Jey Uso won which ? And the whole entire crowd was so silent when he got kicked out . And then Jey Uso won , which is the main event .
Jey Uso , I don't get why he's called main event . I mean I don't know , I don't get it . And then Charlotte Flair won it .
Charlotte Flair won the Women's world royal rumble , so , yeah , okay , so you enjoyed it . You got to stay all night at the hotel . Where was that at ? Again , indiapolis , indiapolis , indiana or ohio it was . I think it was .
I think the town split by two states . It was three hours away .
I think the town split by two states .
It was three hours away , so I don't remember technically , but I remember just going .
Well , I'm glad you had fun . I was waiting for you to get back on the podcast and tell us all about it and you haven't done it .
We skipped one of the matches because I really didn't care for it . It was just a tag team match and the same person won , so like they have been the past few days , so not very different , but we did see a really fun match . Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes went against each other , so that was fun to watch .
It was also nerve wracking , though , cause he did the Alabama slam into a ladder .
Oh really .
Yeah , basically it's when you put the opponent on your shoulders , so the opponent's back is facing this way and they're just right here , and then you go head first and slam them somewhere , and then that should knock them out enough for you to pin them and win .
And that's what happened .
He got knocked into a ladder . The ladder broke in half and his face was just it's disfigured .
Blood everywhere on his face , oh yuck .
It was probably scripted though .
Well , I'm glad you got on here today and helped us to do the podcast , do it live , and you got to update us .
I did that's cool . So yeah , that was a big announcement
¶ Wrestling News and Live Show Recap
. It's just I'm really excited to see what happens at WrestleMania . I'm not going it's in Las Vegas but I'm just excited to see what happens .
I love that highway sound .
Thank you for that . That was a nice little noise , All right Well let's see , let's wrap it up .
Wrap it up . Yeah , let's don't say that , don't remember what we heard on that podcast . Yeah , we've got a couple more things to go over here . One is the news corner . News corner yeah , I don't think you've been on here .
I haven't been on here in a while , yeah .
Sorry , what it is is .
We've got a News Corner that we Well , listen to him in the News Corner . I'm still here , Bruce , and I don't like that name .
All right , still here , bruce , and I don't like that name . All right , well , he don't like that name , but I always go and pick a couple news stories to talk about and I call it the news corner , and you know , I'm hoping that one day we'll have some more comments about them and stuff from everybody .
Um , so one of the new stories was from the last episode where I talked about how the president trump was wanting to do away with the pennies . Oh , and I read the story from I don't , I think it was npr , I don't remember , but somehow I either got messed up on the reading part of it or they had misprinted it and I read it that way .
But anyway , it talked about how many billions of pennies was made that last year I'm so sorry for that and how many dollars was spent , and it didn't add up in my mind . When I read it I kind of hesitated , but I went back and looked it up because I thought that can't be right and it wasn't um . So , um , I went back to do a retraction .
I think that's what they call that in the real news world , when you go back and do a news story and you have to update update it .
Yeah , we have a update . The hill got bigger . It's going to be larger than a baseball , so the hail got bigger well , it's not healing right now , but it it's that they said that it will be bigger oh , okay sorry to interrupt for the storm we're talking about that .
Okay , I'm going to talk about my retraction real quick . So the story was true . They made 3.2 billion of the pennies last year . The us mint did okay , okay , 3.2 billion , which , if they were doing it by a penny , that'd be 3.2 billion pennies .
Why ? Because a penny costs one cent .
No , it costs 3.69 cents in 2024 to make . Oh , so it's actually costing us three cents to make a penny which is supposed to be worth one cent .
So we're losing money .
No , they're not lying . It's just how expensive it's got over the years to make that money . So that's the point that they were trying to make . So they reported the us reported , or the Department of Treasury that they lost $85.3 million on printing or making those pennies . See the article I read said $84 million is what they made . They got it backwards .
Don't , we need pennies .
We don't , but we do . If everybody rounds off , we won't need pennies .
But what if we're just going to do an example . What if you bought a turkey at the store and it was $8.01 and we didn't have any pennies ? What would you pay with ? We would have $10 , $15 .
Well , like I said , they'd have to round off , round off . Right now they round everything down to make it look like it's cheaper . So if you go in the store and buy a hundred dollar item , they actually mark it down to 99.99 to make your brain think , hey , it's cheaper but it's really not .
It's still a hundred dollars yeah plus tax , which will probably be like 101 it'd be what's going where you're at , because , because , taxes changes .
Very Right , because Canada they have , because that's why it says like on label , like if I bought a phone , it would say like US and Canada , canada's price would be higher than ours and we would be lower .
Yeah , well , that's until the tariffs get all messed up like they're doing right now . Yeah , but all messed up like they're doing right now . But anyway , that's what's going on and everything's based on that little bitty scent . And you know , if they take that away and just round everything off , we won't need pennies anymore .
So I don't know what's going to happen or what's best . But I just wanted to fix that article because I read it and either I misread it or they wrote it wrong , but I didn't like it at all I mean you would think that like we might need pennies in our life .
But like you said , sometimes we do , sometimes we don't well , we've used them all our life .
It's gonna be kind of hard not to yeah , sunny .
What's your opinion on this ?
uh , I don't have an opinion . I just know that it's getting late and the storm will be coming before long . Yuck , I don't know how I'll handle the storm and it being a frog . We'll see .
Well , you know what I'm going to do . I'm going to charge every electronic that I have when I get home , just in case you know , and I'm going to turn on the TV and watch wrestling at 7 . Hopefully I can still watch it at 7 , because I really want to watch it at 7 .
Yeah , I think the storm is supposed to hit about 8 or so .
Okay , well , it lasts until like 8 , sometimes 10 , so it's crazy how long wrestling lasts . It lasts even longer because how long the match depends , it is you know whatever . But enough of my talking .
Well , I had an article that I was going to go over last Friday during the live , and it got all messed up , it went south . Yep , friday during the live , and it got all messed up , it went south . The article was about the new launch of the Sphere X . Did I say that right ? No , it's Sphere S-P-H-E-R-E then X .
Oh .
It is an infrared observatory that they're putting out to space to help study everything .
I'm pretty sure they sent a robot on the moon .
I was going to go over that too , but anyway , they actually were getting ready to launch it , or test launch it , last Friday when I was going to go over the article . Well , they've already put it up , so is that your phone ? That's my mom , All right , well , I'll mute you . All right , she's muted . Anyway , I'll go ahead and talk about that .
