  Speaker 4: probably back growing up, everybody had because during certain dinners,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: you know, to dress the table, make it look nice,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: you would put you know, a flower arrangement, you put
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: your nice china out, you you put your cornicopia in there.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: You know. Do you remember having the good silverware, John,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: for like Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, like the good the
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: good plates, the good silverware.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: You mean growing up?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, because it all had to be polished.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Oh really yeah?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because it was silver.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: It was actual silver. So I couldn't just run through
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: the dishwasher like I do every year.
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: No, No, it wasn't stainless steel. They everything would have
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: to be handed.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Did you cherish it her like cold?
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: When she used to pass things down? Okay, you know
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: from one generation to the next. Yeah, a lot of
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: things people used to value are not valued anymore.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking that dinnerware is one thing. You know, place
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: settings used to be really expensive and now nobody even
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: wants them.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Nobody uses that now.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: It used to be you know, back then Lenox China
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: was like a hundred bucks a place setting.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Wow, And and that was a lot. Did no one
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: ever had that?
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Did you have the full set of silverware with it,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: like meaning like you know, the salad fork, the dinner fork,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the little spoon, the big spoon or did was it
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: just a standard set?
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Well? We were Italian, so anything that would get food
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: to your mouth would work was fine.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you were Italian, but you're not now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm in America.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Did you guys, did you guys eat spaghetti?
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: It's fine, I know, but I can't see the comments from.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Oh did you guys? Do you did you always use
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: a spoon when eating spaghetti?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Never? Never?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: No?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Why do they always serve that in an Italian restaurant?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Your data does when we have pasta, she has a
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: spoon and she uses it to twirl.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: At every Italian restaurant that you go to, they serve
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you a spoon with it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Now I could you could. You're talking about using it
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: as a secondary too, right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you take your fork and you use the
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: spoon to help you get the spaghetti on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: The fork gets stuck into the spaghetti and you twirl
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: it around.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: That This might offend connoisseurs, but I cut the pasta short.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Oh it doesn't, Like do you break it when you
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: put it in the water? Oh yeah, they tell you
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: nothing exactly.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: But then but then when it's done, I cut it
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: so you can actually pick it up with a fork
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and just eat it. They're small strands.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well that doesn't offend anyone except Italians.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But so coming in little hot, so we're going to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: bring everyone down a little bit. All right, there we go.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: So this, let's see, it's warm today in the island areas,
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: and then and then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we're looking at
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: one hundred degree temperatures.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's just what did it hit one hundred triple digits
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: at your place yet?
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Once?
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Once? And now it's going to do it again.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: And it's just.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: You know, it makes it a little tougher to get
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: through any trials, you.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: No, because yeah, whatever you're doing, yeah, you're hot, you're grumpy. Yeah,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it's grumpy weather. It is grumpy weather.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: It's funny how you can just walk outside and just
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: have a bad attitude, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: like you, you start off the day just fine, and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: then the minute you open the door and you feel
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: that hot, sticky weather, you're just like.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I over the front door yesterday and it was like
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: walking into an oven. Yeah, and I just turned around
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: went back.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: And so you know, we have our air conditioning set
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: to seventy four, but if it's one hundred outside and
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: you walk in the house and it's seventy four, it's
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: almost thirty degrees cooler, right, So I mean you walk
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: in and you've got to put on a jacket or
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: a long sleeve shirt or something.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: You have your little you know, when you walk in
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: someone's house and have their coats hanging up as you
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: come in the door, that's because you have to put
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: it on when you walk in the house, not not
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: because you're taking it off right as you're like right,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: you know, So we went up until about two or
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: three weeks ago.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: It was a nice summer, rather mild warm, and now
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: here we are, first of September and we're dying.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: We're dying well, and this isn't even the Santa Ana weather,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: you know here in southern California. Sant Anna's come in
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: usually the early ones the end of September, and then
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: you're looking at October November before you have the really
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: hot temperatures.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: All right, I'm sure you'll probably turn it off again,
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: but your comments are now there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: All right, thank you, Tiger. I appreciate it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, So there we go. We are seven minutes and
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: twenty four seconds into the first segment. All right, so
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you're keeping keeping watch, keeping track, right, and I think we.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Could try to bring head on. But his phone number
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: is on my phone. I gave it to you last week.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: If you keep track of those.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Things you you want to and when today?
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I well we didn't know about that, no, I know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: but this is a surprise, a surprise rosell Rochelle says
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: she can only see Tiger.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: And only see Yeah, that's amazing, I.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Know, and and I think that's she's lucky.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm not even on there.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that the yeah, a little peak behind the curtain.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: The cameras would not hook up to the audio today,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: so it's pretty much just audio utilizing till you should
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: be saying the the.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: The lemon counter right, the zucchini.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: You know, I've never I've never grown lemon cucumbers before,
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: have you. I've been sorry, they're not lemon cucumbers. They're
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: not a lemon squash. Lemon squash, yeah, and I've never
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: grown them before.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: And I have not. I have not there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: They're a if anybody ever wants to try those, I
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: know Baker Creek has the seeds, so if you go
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: search for Baker Creek or Google. I think their website
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: is Rare seeds dot com.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I think so too.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: But they're called lemon squash because they look like a lemon, right.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I was going to ask do they have a
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: lemon flavor?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: No, but they have a very sweet flavor.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Sweet.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: So it's a summer squash. It's like a sweeter version
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: of summer squash, like yellow crookneck, a little sweeter version
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: of that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Because a lemon cucumber looks yellow, but it also has
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a does a lemon lemon flavor?
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: It does have a little little flavor.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So you know, sometimes you wonder why things are called,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: whether it's the flavor or just because they look, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: like something.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Or both or both is in the case of lemons.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or you know that we talked about the pink
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: lemonade lemon. You know, it's a lemon and it's pink,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: so it makes sense that it's pink lemonade, right, which
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: was the name, which was because John is so astute
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: with how he can perceive things and see a pink.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Actually, Bill Nelson that that came up with the name first,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: but I trademarked.
• 10:40

• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a green flash, green flash, which we got on video.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But the steel shot is just amazing. It looks fake.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: There were some great sunsets when we were in Costa Rica.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, right, I like those kind of sunsets.
• 15:38

  Speaker 4: overlooked Oh yeah, there you go, look at that.
• 15:46

• 16:17

  Speaker 5: current comments.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Yep, constantly. Do you have do you do you have
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: the quote of the week? Because I liked it this week.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: I don't always like your quotes of the week, really,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: but I did like it this week. I should run
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: them by you before.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I told you that that was a good quote. It
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: touched the soul. Really.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know I've been doing. Give me a view
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: of God's creation anything but buildings in telephone wires. That's
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: from Carla.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: She likes your view too, not my view.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: All right, I'm going to go to.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Quote of the week. Remember when Brian used to play
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: little like jingles for us when we would have spot
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: but Facebook.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Stuped you know you know what though? That was before
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: because you know how now you can make the Wild West.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You can make those little shorts on Facebook and have
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: all the music, which apparently is somewhat licensed. That was
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: before Facebook would allow anybody to play any licensed music.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: The quote of the week really intrigued me because it
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: was from William Cooper.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I want to learn more about William Cooper.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Because William Cooper. I'll give you the quote and then
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: you tell me if you don't know William Cooper when
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: you think this.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Was written, was William D. B. Cooper?
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Completely different Cooper? This one spelled cowper co O w
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: P e R, but pronounce Cooper.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That's silly.
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: He said that gardening is a kind of disease, a chronic,
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: incurable affliction, and when it's not kept in not kept
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: in check, it shows itself in compulsive plant buying, which
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: I think is true for a lot of us. Oh yeah,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: so when do you think he wrote that?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know when he lived.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Well, I know that's it, but you're you know, you're
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: talking about one plant.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: He lived in a generation where they bought plants, So
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: you know, you can't be too old back back in
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: you know, if he was too old they didn't buy
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: it could be gen Z. He could be gen Z.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: So just from the quote, yes, you know this isn't
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: a gotcha like you know.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Ninety what is yours?
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I'm going to say nineteen fifty, seventeen ninety what favors buying?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: You know what Tiger threw me off with not buying plants? Yeah?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Do you think that seventeen ninety?
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, William Cooper was a a writer, a poet, I
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: think a little bit of a philosopher. But way back then,
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: either that or or somebody found somewhere to sell plants
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Facebook marketplace.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, anyway, I've seen hundreds. Yeah, late seen they were
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: suffering with plant purchase.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, shit, that's about what twenty years after the declaration
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: of independence? Roughly thirty years.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Roughly that time period. I mean, somebody can look up
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: William Cooper, google him and find out that I'm completely wrong,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: But I think I'm somewhat in the in the right generation.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: That's funny, you know what they'll be That is a
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: common thread of you know, the writers and talk people
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: that talk about plants, is that it becomes that like addiction,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: to go and just keep getting more.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: We're going to take a break to stay on track
• 19:47

• 20:32
  Speaker 2: the quote about the compulsiveness of plant buying, that's very
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: easy to fall into.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Do you know you guys, last time you were at
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: my house, if you pulled up the driveway, you saw
• 20:45

• 20:51
  Speaker 5: the right of the driveway as.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: You call off drift in there.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Right and it's pretty much finished. I went with my
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: daughter to Oasis Water Efficient Gardens and Escondido. Came back
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: with a trunkload of of succulents and cactus that are
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: I guess going to be planted in that area.

• 22:14
  Speaker 2: big responsibility reliance.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: A little bit off the topic. I'm not sure what
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: the topic is, but a little bit off you know.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: During the break, we were I'll bring this up to
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: our listeners who get the newsletter. During the break, we
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: were talking about about AI and how some of the
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: pictures I use in the newsletter for the did you know?
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Or the article sections I have been created with AI
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: and I wrote in a little did you know article
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: about the first Labor Day parades, And there's a picture
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: there that shows a Labor Day parade, and if you
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: enlarge that on your phone, you'll notice that no one
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: in the parade has a face because the picture was
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: generated by a.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Those people were known as the faceless minority. It was
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: back on how many couple hundred years the faceless minority FNS.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: The FNS and you told me it stood for awesome individual.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I applied it to you and you said, yes, I'm AI,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I'm an awesome individual. How are we doing, Tiger.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Great? I'm reading comments.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Sorry, okay, distract, go ahead and read something.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: To Kevin was talking about, you know, like our shock
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: that there were nursers in the seventeen hundreds. And then
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Carla reminded us of the tulip craze of the sixteen hundreds.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Was that when they were tree using tulips as money.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, you mentioned that. I don't know if that was
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: that time frame, right.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: It was in that time where they tulips were like cash.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: They were valued as.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Well they weren't used as cash, but they could be traded.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: But you said, Kevin mentioned he was surprised there were
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: nurseries back in the seventeen hundreds. We didn't necessarily say
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: there was. We just talked about selling or buying plants,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: which could be from an individual, right, well, it could be.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: It's just like where did you do you even think
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: about going somewhere to buy plants? And night early eighteen hundreds.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Lisa said that she had heard before that onions were
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: a hot barter item for a while.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, I remember Napoleon complaining like how was he
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: supposed to march his his his army without onions?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Do you know Napoleon never started a war?
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, is that true?
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: Weird fact? Yeah, learned it this week that he's never
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: started a war.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: He just didn't discourage anybody from creating chaos.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: So you're not going to give it to me with
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: comments I did.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: Why did you erase it right away? Again?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? You know, you tell a kid
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: don't touch that, don't touch it, and they touch it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: This has to be one of the more compelling shows
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: in the twenty some odd years that we've done.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: I have some news. I started to say that on
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: a completely different topic and then it popped into my mind.
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I don't even know what the topic is, so I
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: guess it could go along with the follow of the show.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: But I did finish my book this last week. With
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: all the heat, I just can't go outside and work.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: So I you know, I my daughter and grandchildren are
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: visiting from Idaho, but we did go. We have breaks
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: as they're visiting friends too, So all the hot weather,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: I spent indoors writing in the library, in the library,
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: day after day after day.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: That has to really account for a good atmosphere to
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: write a book, right.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: We know. It's my first first fiction book. You know,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: I've written some plant books, but I've never written a novel,
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: and this is a thriller. And it's been a whole
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: new learning experience and it's been fun. It's been first,
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: I had to learn how to write dialogue, because that's
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: what moves the book along, and when you first write it,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: it's not natural and sounds stilted. So, hey, hi, how
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: are you? Where did you go to the store? Something
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: like that, not too far off. And then as I
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: got used to writing the dialogue. It came easier. But
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: then I was telling you that I began using a
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: lot of purple prose and just in Bellish, too many
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: similes and metaphors. So and some of my first chapters
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I've rewritten them like eight or nine times.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny you mentioned that. When I was
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: in college, my older half brother sent me at thesaurus
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: this get what John said. So I'm like, I'm gonna
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: write letters to people and sound smart.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: So I started doing the same thing John got wrapped
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: up in with his book where you just gets after
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: a while like stop it. Yeah, just you know one
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: or two. But don't you know what was the analogy
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: you used about the air conditioner?
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, I said that in and it was like in
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: an old hotel. And I said it rattled like it
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: was chewing Nickels.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: As much as like if you were doing like a
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: right like a private investigator or some kind of cop thing,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: and like a bunch of Nichols.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it sounded like a Mickey Old mickey'splain novel.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Wow, why did you make that fall down?
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: It just jumped?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Is that just like a little earthquake, a little shake
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: of it just jump. I'll see what that looks like.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Joyce Tiger wants to know where in the San Fernando
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Valley can't she get an apricot tree?
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Where?
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, where are the one that's going to do well?
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: San Fernando Valley. Trying to think, is that is that Resita? Ye?
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: That type that is? So it's hot? Yeah, but do
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: they have chill hours? That's the main thing.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: I think so if it's chill.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Hours, then you can probably get any variety if there's
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: enough chill hours that The main ones used in California.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Are royal, Royal more part of one more.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. San Gabriel Nursery should be a good place to
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: get that in Reseda, in San Gabriel.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: In San Gabriel far from Mersita. I don't know. That's
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know where it's hot.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: San Fernando Valley than Gabriel Valley two places you do
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: not want to be. There's time of year.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Your years.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: Who was it that has that?
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Who's our buddy that used to lived in that? We
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: used to hear from John what he would call and say,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: the thing is everything just growing out of control?
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Steve and see the.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Valley another one?
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he couldn't grow anything wrong he could.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do I do to stop this from growing?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: At the trees are out of control and the roses
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: there are too many blooms? What do I do?
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Last time I heard from Steve, he sent me a
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: picture of a bunch of uh I can't remember which rose,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: but he had planted a bunch of roses from seed
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: nice and they had all come up.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: Of course, because he is nothing that fails, just grows
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: and grows and grows.
• 29:43

  Speaker 2: of hour one news coming up top of the hour
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: means nothing to those on Facebook Live, just a lot
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: of good information and comments, as John that does his
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: best to keep up on these questions and comments.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: You were just talking about before the break, John.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, I told you I bought a bunch of
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: cactus and succulents, yeap. And the I bought more living stones. No, no,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: they were still alive. I just just wanted more in
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: that area to make it a little more interesting. And
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: I've also bought something I've.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Wanted floddered them and then they died.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: I did not water them this time.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: But no, you were talking about I think that last show.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: I watered them in the middle of the summer when
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: I should not have, and they die And they didn't
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: all die. But you know the way they grow is
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: they split, right, and one of the one or two
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: of each of a clump brought it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Oh but the clumps the plump managed so far.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and so now they're coming back and you wanted
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: some more now, got it right?
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: And then I've always liked golden barrel. Right, so I
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: have a golden barrel. But one thing I've wanted to
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: also have, and I haven't had one for many years,
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: was a white golden barrel.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Oh you know it is a white golden barrel.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Well, it's an oxymoron for one, yeah, but it's a
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: it's a golden barrel. That is that species kind of
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: cactus grusonia. But the spines are white rather than.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Gold rather than yellow gold. Ye, so same shape everything,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: you know, all of that, But the spines are white.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: It.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Does it? Does it grow smaller or anything different? Or
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: is it just that the spines are white? Because you know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: sometimes when there's a change in that, the plant will
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: grow more compact.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: With variegated plants, it grows slower. Somebody know how much.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's any photosynthesis and that takes to
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: find the same cacti. I could be wrong.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, are you do you have a golden barrel in
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: that bed as well? Yes? So now you have a
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: white and a gold and you're gonna make them battle
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: over who is more superior in this area.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: No, I did give the white one a place of
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: honor right in front of a stump.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Did you now this slope that you have planted with
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: your succulents and cactus is very hard to write? If
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I remember correctly, the soil was very hard? Or no?
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say that half of everything in their
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: head to be planted with a jackcamera.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Did you put any cactus mix or anything in there?
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Nothing?
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: You just planted him. You dug a kind of you.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: You let's just say you carved out a.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Hole jackhammer of your your solid bedrock there and just
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: sort you planted him in that?
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: Okay, and everything is done well. The only thing that's
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: been struggling is the the ice ice cream bean tree.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Mmm? I remember that one? You showed it to me.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, and I don't. I don't know why.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well hey, but but you did, but I didn't
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: have the bubblegum tree probably ten feet from that. Yeah,
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: that's too fine. Didn't I give you a bubblegum tree?
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: You did, and it's planted and growing. Who's yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: And it's you know, it's one of those things that
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: I knew when I planted it. I was like, I
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: might regret this, and and I like, no, it's not, no,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: but it's I I planted it right along where I'm
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: putting a path, and that path is yet to be
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: installed yet, so I think it's perfect where it's at.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: But I might regret it. And but I if I
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: can keep it where it's at, I will love it.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Because I wanted to be right along this path that
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: goes around the side of our poolhouse, and I want
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: it to almost cover the entrance to the path because
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: I think, like you say, it's not a big tree,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: so I think it would just appropriately block the entrance.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: But without the path being there, I don't know if
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I planted it far enough away from where I want.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: The path to be, so we'll see. But I figured
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I could always dig it up and move it.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Being your age, you have a lot of advantages that
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: older people don't have.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to see things come to fruition when they finish growing.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: But older people have a lot of advantages younger people
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: don't have. And I was just thinking that there's very
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: few things that I'm going to plant now that I'll
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: regret planning.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: Is that like when you get to the stage of
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: your life when you buy a pet, dog, cat, whatever,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: you think.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna outive it.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: The pet might not live me.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Is that pet who's going to go first?
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: And that's whe everyone. Even if you bought a one
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: of those giant tortoises as a baby, it would still
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: outlive you.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: The tortoise.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: There was a tortoise that had a name that lived
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: to be almost two hundred years ago. Yeah, but I
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: think the Gala the giant.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they had it at the San Diego Zoo
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: for a while there, like they had like the oldest when.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: You were a kid.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: They're still letting kid tortoisestoises.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Now they're like, you know, we probably shouldn't do that.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: They don't like it. You know, people are under the
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: false assumption that when you rub a tortoise shell they
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: can't feel it, and they do. Absolutely. It's like their ribcake.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: They feel the slightest touch on his tortoiseshell. They feel it.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why they say not to paint it too,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: because it is like their skin.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: And I remember as a kid going to the fair
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: and you get the turtles and they're painted, you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: red blue.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: That killed them right, yeah, because they can't breathe. I
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: remember that saying you should be riding the tortoises and
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: you said if they don't like it, they'll just run away.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah did I When did I say that?
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I just made that up?
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: Was that white night? I don't think I'm getting new comments.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Let's see this is the newest. Yeah, there we go, Okay,
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: most relevant newest. Let's see here. I got a white
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: golden barrel baby when at the convention in San die
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: in April. Tanya, Oh, let's see who can grow up better? Tanya,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: send some pictures.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: You know what else I got was called a it's
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: it's not a cactus. It's a euphorbia, but it's called
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: spiral cactus.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I want I've tried that three or four times. That
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: is that is my nemesis of a plant that I
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: want and I have not been able to grow.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Why do you think I haven't planted mine yet? So
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of curious.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: But I was told they don't grow here because.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: We have to take a break.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: You want to think about it?
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, top of the hour news break for BIS
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Talk Radio. Then we came back at six minutes after.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: If your market carries hour two on BIS Talk Radio,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: and if you're still here, we're just getting warmed up.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: We're just getting warmed up Facebook Live, Bistok Radio, Guard
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: in America back after the news on Bistalk Radio and
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: some very interesting messages from our sponsors. Stay with it. Yeah,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you can read how about that gang? We are back.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: That's what standby means, that means quite on the set.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Sh how come you've never told me that?
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Did you know this?
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: John America is back by the way, just to re
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: establish Welcome to our two BIZ Talk Radio.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: We was that Look he just gave me those daggers.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: It's been a rough morning, uh, Tanya says, be sure
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: for the lithops, be sure to learn their annual watering schedule.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Do not water them at all when they're splitting.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: I didn't.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that. So if you're seeing them start
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: their division, water.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Them just naturally think that if they're splitting their growing,
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: so go ahead and water.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: I would think like you would want to be on
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: a schedule and just water them, you know, once a
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: month or whatever you whatever your schedule would be, and
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: just never to stop.
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: Do they live in an area that gets water time schedule?
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: But I mean, I mean there's a natives john dry period.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, California Natives don't live in an area where they
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: get water on schedule. But if you watered them once
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: a month, it's not going to hurt it, you know
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: what I mean.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: But now that you bring that up, my nemesis is
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: the Matila hopos. Yes you talked about that one, yes,
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: three three dead?
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: What are you doing wrong?
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know?
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: You know what? Have you tried this? Have you tried
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: planting it in let's say January, just soak it and
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: then don't ever touch it again.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Have you tried tried planting it in pure sand?
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Well? No, but I mean in January, water it and
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: then don't ever water it or touch it again.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: I've only tried three, so that leaves nine other months.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: I don't know if Janubory was one of those, I
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: could try it.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Have you ever tried to grow something that didn't work?
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: And so maybe if you give anyone for Smith, yeah,
• 42:01
  Speaker 5: I'll remember the planet.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: So if you ever try to grow something and no
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: matter what you did, you followed all the right either
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: direction or guidelines, and it didn't work. So you said
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do the exact opposite and it worked.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm dealing.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Like George Costanza. If everything you think is right, maybe
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: the opposite is better.
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: I'm dealing with the hydrangea in my front yard.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: Perfect spot it scott shade, it's got water, it's growing terribly,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: and you's just growing terribly.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: I can admit it. Yeah, sometimes I hold back and
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: John knows it. If something dies. So hydrangea by our
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: front door, partial sun shade.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: Your front door should be perfect, right in a pot.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: For the last five months. I just now got a
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: just an inkling of a bloom.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: But what about the growth like foliage? Yeah it's great. Oh,
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: my foliage looks terrible.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: No, the foliage is fine. It's no, really, no bloom,
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: no blooms. Well I think you I think you mentioned
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: that that's bloom before though, right, yes, And I think
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: you mentioned you cut it back too late or too early. Remember,
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: because you cut off I said, you know, well you're
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: cutting off all the wood that's going to bloom.
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: It used to be the Yeah, that's it, you got
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: you nailed it. Yeah, that we had the once blooming hydranges.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Now there's endless summer, repeat blooming hydranges, and that's different.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: But yeah, if you cut the old hydrange is the
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: wrong time.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: So how old is your hydrangee tiger?
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Three years old?
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: And it just for no reason, everything's the same.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nothing, it's terrible. I'm I'm now I'm letting it
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: be there and look bad, just by spie. Yeah, because
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to give it the pleasure of taking
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Remember all the hydrangs we saw on coast a weekend,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: full sun, they were just frying.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: Just like cooking.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: Carla finally got a fig tree.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Ended up with little Miss Figgie because it was at
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: the OC Fair plant on sale for only ten dollars.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: A nice little tree. It had a fig on it
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: and it was the one with the best things, one
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: of the best things I've ever tasted.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Have you had little miss Figgie?
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: No, there's uh, there's quite a few new dwarf figs though, right,
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: there's that one, and there's the other one is fig
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: now phenomenal.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: And then there was something some play on like a
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: black jack. I can't remember what it was.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: You know, it's funny. Uh, the first dwarf fig was
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: called black Jack, right, the first dwarf? Yeah?
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: And do you know how tall it gets? Just what
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: would you guess that a dwarf fig would get eight
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: feet twenty and it's considered a dwarf, considered a dwarf.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: But what it would do? It grew fast up to
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: twenty feet and stopped.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: So that was John.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: We call them little figs.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: Now, yeah, dwarf the little figs, little figs. Well, now
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: they have midget figs.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Hey, you might be able to answ because I thought
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: you looked for this before from from Lilah. Where can
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: I get a braco kai in discolor? Didn't you find
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: one of those? Weren't you looking for one?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: No?
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: I was looking for braciat kite and rupest isn't disc
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: color just the common one?
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just the bottle tree.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, anyone you would have those, onen't you.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we would have them. Now we've
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: shrunk down our tree selection.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: But do you have a little Miss Figgy?
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: I think we do shrugged out Little.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Figgy went to the market.
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: You should only have dwarf trees at Mission Hills Nursery.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, you know that should be available
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: out there. And Power I mean Walter and Poway or.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would think Walter Anderson's would have a sure
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: or Green Thumb nursery.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I think I saw them
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: at Green Thumb Nursery in San Marco.
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say San Marcos. Yeah, so that's closest one.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: I think that's my wife's favorite nursery right now, do
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: you know what I why? Well, first of all, it's
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: close close by, so we can drive there, you know,
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: within thirty minutes. But they have those carts like they
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: have in the shopping if you go to a supermarket,
• 46:21
  Speaker 5: and she can sit on one of those because it's
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: a huge nursery and it's got a big basket in
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: the front, so she can drive it around the nursery,
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: cover the entire nursery, and just keep putting things in
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: the basket.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: So like one of those like Rascal scooter carts. Is
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: that what they're called, the ones that are motorized. Yeah, yeah,
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: oh wow, yeah yeah yeah.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: I don't know if it beeps when you back it up,
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: but it's one of those those kind of things.
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: Now, it's funny because where you live you have some
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: really cool nurseries. I wouldn't say they're always the most friendly,
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: you know, because usually of their plant collectors like people
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: that I specialize in this one plant. And I'm going
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: to make it an if you talk.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Their language, they want to. Yeah, you talk to you
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: like we went to was the Jungle Jacks, and you know,
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: if you want to buy plummeria, that's what got to
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: be one of the best places in the county for plumeria, right, sure, and.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Speak their language.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: Well, you have to kind of pretend you know something
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: about plumria, like if you're if you're a newbie, they'll
• 47:34
  Speaker 5: kind of continent. I think what Tiger's talking about content
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: not quite not quite condescending, but you can tell that
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: you get the eye roll.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I will give here's the one. Here's the one
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: piece of advice I will give to anyone going into
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: any nursery. Okay, unlike any other store that's out there.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: I really don't know another store that this happens at.
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: But every day somebody walks into that retail nursery and
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: asks the same question as someone has the day before.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: Meaning there's not a lot of places that you go
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: to in the world that they ask, why did this
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: plant die? What's this bug? What is this flower? Whatever
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: this is? And it's the same question that somebody had
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: the day prior, because it's always a repeat or an
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: hour or an hour prior, and a nursery man has
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: to stand there, or a nursery person has to stand
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: there and say, oh, you know what I mean. You
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: overwatered it, you underwatered it. These are apids, that's a
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: jack aranda. And they do it over and over and over, and.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Or they don't bring anything in and they say I
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: have a plan at home, and the laser turning brown
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: with yes.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: And we get it. We want to help you, but
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: it is difficult sometimes and as we just mentioned, sometimes
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: on a hot day, then you're just done. When somebody
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: comes in and asks you that question, you get the
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: eye roll, and you get the a little bit of
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: like attitude with.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: You know, I like where target would he had he
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: had a standard pat answer for this, and you would say,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: perhaps you shouldn't be in charge of things that live.
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: Well, I understand what he's saying. Like when you go
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: in a supermarket, it might be the tenth time somebody
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: has asked you where the milk is? Yeah, but at
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: least you're in air condition yeah, and you're not.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to point people that that is really.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Part of your job and you're not moving heavy things.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and nobody questions you like, no, that's not where
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: the milk is.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: See.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: That's the thing that happens in a nursery too, is
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: somebody says, oh, you know, it looks like you overwatered it,
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: and they're like, no, no, no, I watered it today. Okay, fine,
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong. I mean, what do you want me to
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: tell you? I'm giving you in my advice, I'm giving
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: you my knowledge.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: But you know what's interesting is they ask a general question.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take a breakuse I want to. I
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: want to I want to tackle this the break And
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: I think you'll agree with me, Okay, a BISK talk radio,
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Facebook liveguard in America back after these messages, stay with
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: us and it only gets better. Gang has promised we
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: are back after the break, and just prior to the break,
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: we were talking about how people come to nurseries and
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: why did my plant die? Okay, very generic question. In
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: order Tiger and John to answer these questions, I would
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: imagine you have a few questions yourself. Where is it planted?
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: How much sun is it getting? How do you water?
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: It's like going to the doctor, right, So you need
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: to know that before you get eave it. And even
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: the answer may not be the correct answer, but you
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: need more than just yeah, I watered it yesterday and
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: it still died.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: Well, the.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: Tiger didn't say it, but you'll say it. No. But
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: what I'll say is that one thing that nursery people
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: really resent, and I guess it's just accepted now, but
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: people bringing back plants and wantingham replaced. Yeah, yeah, I
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: think everybody guarantees plants now. I don't know, do you guys?
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah? We do? Yeah?
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: And you know, can you imagine going to a supermarket
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: and saying I bought this stuff to make dinner and
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: my husband didn't like it, So I want my money?
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah or or no? No, no, Like it would be like, hey,
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: I bought this head of lettuce to make a salad.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't use it, and now the head of lettuce
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: is like just broken down and mushi.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Right, Can I get a new one?
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: No? Just because you didn't use it doesn't mean that
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: I get to you get to have a new one.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: But but here's the difference. You buy that plant, whatever,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: you're in charge of it now, it is your responsibility
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: to keep it alive, even doing the most basic things.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: It's like a puppy if you don't feed it and
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: it dies back at.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: The pet store and say I want a refund.
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: No, And I mean I just trying to hopefully paint
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: a picture for our listeners and for people out there
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: that when they walk into a nursery and they're dealing
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: with one of the you know people there that to
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: understand that that you know, you have to you know,
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: and don't get me wrong, like, Hey, we are in
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: retail business. I want my staff to be as friendly
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: and approachable as possible.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: As they have a thousand of the places to go.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, So we do have to do this, but
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: also understand as a consumer that you do have your
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: responsibility to be like, okay, listen to them and acknowledge
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: their you know, experience and knowledge they're giving you because
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: and I'm not saying this because I feel we need
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: I tips in the world are for things that I
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: feel people go above and beyond for. I feel like
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: they shouldn't just be assumed or given. You know what
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: that stands for toure Yeah, okay, Like, so I love
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: the idea of a tip, right, like if somebody is
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: doing a great job, and I find it so mind
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: blowing right nowadays in the world that we live in,
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: there so there's a tippet, there's a tip jar for
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: everything that people do, and it's like what you just said,
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: it's assumed and expected. But somebody will come into a
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: nursery and they will talk to a nursery person for
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: an hour for ed ice, for knowledge for what they
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: should do. They will help them pot a plant in
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: a pot that they, you know, brought into the store,
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: and do all this stuff and then they will pay
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: for it and they will walk away and they will
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: never hand that person any tip whatsoever. But meanwhile that
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: person did so much more than your sandwich maker or
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: your you know, barista, or your even your waiters sometimes
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: and but those people will get a tip for what
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: they do. And I'm just like, see, that's where like
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: people need to recognize, like when you go into a
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: cheese shop and you ask for their advice on cheese
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: or beef. You know, if you go to a butcher,
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: there's knowledge and there's information and that person has developed
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: over years that they're sharing with you that you can't
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: get anywhere else. And you know, and so you know,
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: at least treat them with a bit of more, you know.
• 54:49
  Speaker 5: But you know because when you go to the register,
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: you don't have the percentage tips if you are there, No,
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: you don't need the charg done. When you go to
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: make the charge, you have to click off if you
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: And I'm going to put it like.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: The old manage. Don't pay me for what I do,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: pay me for what I know.
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, venting is good, isn't it, Tiger? Yeah, it's kind
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: of cathartic. Don't you feel good? I do?
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: I feel I feel good. Sorry, sorry to unleash it
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: on one right now, but but we brought up why
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: why you know those nurseries in Fallbrook or wherever that
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: especially nurseries. You walk in there and sometimes those people
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: are a little grumpy. They're very specialized playing people. They
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: love and they have a passion. And as you say,
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: if you walk in there with respect and you say,
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: I have the respect and I love for what you
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: do too, can we talk about it? They will gladly.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: It's like it's like going to another country and doing
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: your best to speak their language, and wow, do things
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: change ye there to help you?
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I might have told this story on
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: the radio before. But in the early days of my career,
• 55:56
  Speaker 5: I was working retail garden centers and as a matter
• 56:01
  Speaker 5: of fact, the first door that I managed in California
• 56:07
  Speaker 5: was a nursery land in Escondido. And actually Tiger's dad
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: was my boss, who was a district manager then. But
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: I had an assistant manager that they brought over who
• 56:20
  Speaker 5: had a PhD in agronomy and plant genetics.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Boy, and he was.
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: From Iran, from Pavli University in Iran. It's where he
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: had the degree, and it was just like the nicest guy,
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: but he did not understand the concept of guaranteeing plants.
• 56:37
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, So back then, Boston ferns were for the
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: thing everybody wind up Boston.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody could grow.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: It was so tough.
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so they needed a lot of light. But everybody thought,
• 56:51
  Speaker 5: ferns will grow anywhere.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: In my living room windows look as good as the
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: day you bring in home.
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: So you know, in nursery and guarantee their plants back then.
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: And I tried to tell them how the guarantee worked
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: and that he had to be nice to people when
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: they came in. And he got into almost an argument
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: with somebody not wanting to return their plant that it die,
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: and I had to get in the middle of it.
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: And the customer went away and they were happy. And
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: then I brought his name was already. I brought him
• 57:25
  Speaker 5: into the office and I said, already, look at it.
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to tell you this again, but if
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: somebody comes in with the plant, we guarantee plants, and
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: you whether he goes, but it was their fault, I go.
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: Whether it's their fault or not, you have to give
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: them another one. I said, you understand. He said, okay, okay.
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: So the next day I see somebody walking with a
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: brown hanging basket. Boston fern right, same thing. And I
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: see them go up to the same customer right, and
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: I'm in the office, and the office has got Venetian blinds,
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: and I can him up so I can peek out.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: So I just want to watch and see what already does.
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: So I see already talking to them and telling them
• 58:08
  Speaker 5: the plant didn't grow because you didn't die or water.
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: It died because it had no water, was too dry,
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: and you need to put it in more light.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: And you could hear the conversation. I can hear the conversation.
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: And then the customer starts to you know, object a
• 58:25
  Speaker 5: little bit and says, I watered it all the time,
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: and I took care of it, and already goes, and
• 58:32
  Speaker 5: you know, the customer's starting to get upset, and so
• 58:35
  Speaker 5: already realizes, I think, thinking of what I told him.
• 58:38
  Speaker 5: He goes, he goes, I don't worry. He said, I'm
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: going to give you another plant. And so the customer
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: calms down and Already goes the guy goes, you are,
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: and he goes, yeah, I'm going to give you another one,
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: and he goes, oh, okay, and then already goes, only
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: if you admit you didn't water this, The guy goes.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: All right, that's beautiful. Hey, break time. We have two
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: more segments. We got one long one and a shorter one.
• 59:06

• 59:59
  Speaker 2: BIS talk Radio, back on Facebook Live. I remember that,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: remember that story, John, that that was. That was a
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: good one, like twisted the guy's arm. Yeah, now we
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: mentioned before.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 5: I had to call already back in the office by
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: the way and explained, all right, you're halfway there.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 4: You don't have to and you don't have to, man. Yeah,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: spiral alo, why I can't grow it?
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: I think I remember it wasn't a spiral, al What
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: did you say it was?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 5: It was a spiral euphorbia?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: I think, Oh, I thought it spiral alo. No spiral,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: it's the one that it grows.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: Oh oh oh, yellow platyphila.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know spiral alo, but I think that they're
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: from like more tropical areas from Africa. But are there?
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: Is it more tropical? And that's why they don't grow
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: well here.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: And more tropical and also acid soils. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: the acid soils is the main thing.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, so yeah that's what I thought.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, those are those are awesome plants. And
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 5: yeah I think I've killed maybe fifteen twenty exactly exactly.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they don't grow here.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 5: But do you know Johnson exactly every spiral but yeah,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 5: so spiral euphorbia. Yeah, so is that it's a tall
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 5: upright ketch, but it grows. It's like a corkscrew. It
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: might be called corkscrew.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: I know that one too.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's fine. Reason I was questioning,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 5: you know why you're just going to grow is because
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: at Oasis they had some tall ones that were maybe
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: like three or four feet nice and those were spectacular.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 4: Oasis is a good spot. If you live in southern
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: California and you like succulents, you have to visit Oasis
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: because it's the retail portion of Altmans, right, and Altmans
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: is the largest grower in the United States probably now
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: they are, right. And the cool thing about.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: The largest grower cactus ince in the world.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: Are they in the world? Yeah, And the cool thing
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: about it is that they get some really cool stuff
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: and it's almost like they're so big. Sometimes they don't
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: even know the cool stuff they have, right, and then
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: you go to Oasis and you find it and you
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 4: can you buy it, you know, and it's like you
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: will never find it anywhere else, like not even in
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: some really.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: Maybe home depot, well, because they just ship it to
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: home depot and sometimes you're going through them deep and
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 5: you're like that's a.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: Spiral aloe or.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 5: If it's in there and it's like a dollar ninety nine, right, yeah,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: so yeah, but what Carman who runs Oasis goes into
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 5: all the Altman greenhouses and she's worked there for years,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: so she pulls out all that stuff really she sees
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 5: is there and doesn't want it to go to home
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: depot because she knows the value. So they ship it
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: to Oasis and it's still low compared to anywhere else.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, great, prising, yeah, and always great stuff, like you know,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: big it's it's got like the little two inch pots
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 4: all the way up to six inch pots.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: And then they also have like five gallons and.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: Fifteen one gallons.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so what.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine some of those going to home depot
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: and they're like, I don't know what it is.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: No, and they literally they literally just rot on the
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: table and die.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 5: Because Mountain Home Deeper. No, no, no, not at all.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: I'd buy stuff at home depot.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, you know what you want
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: and they have it. Yeah, if it's cheap, exactly. But yeah,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: so oasis, if you are in southern California, like sucul Its,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: that's a good spot to do it.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Even sounds like a good place you want to hang out.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: Nice place.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: Sounds like Carla might want to offer an apology here
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: because she bought something at armstrongs uh and took them
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: back when they died. But she said that they look
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: good when she bought them, but they were infected. That
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: is it a an aerial blight or something, you know
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: that some of the veco we're getting well that yeah
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: something yeah, yeah, so so and she said when they
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 5: took it back, they admitted, yeah, you know, this is
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: what the problem was. So yeah, that's not a problem, Carla.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: And I mean, hey, you know, I mean it's not
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: a terrible thing. Like things happen where you know, plants
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: are infected or they have bugs, and you know, you
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: bring them back and you know that's that's you know,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: that's fine. It's just at some point in time also,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: you just kind of like, you know, you know, need
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: to be just good with good with the plants.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Don't you love Trader Joe's policy.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 4: What is their policy?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, you can bring anything back? They don't even they
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: don't even ask why. Yeah, it's you go to that
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: you could register, right, so you've bought whatever.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: It's because I just think that teaches people. Well, I know,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: it's just because the price there is already marked up
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: four times. So if they can return it four times.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: Because they bought, they'll buy products from somebody put their
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: label on it. But so you bring stuff up there,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: you go, I'm returning this, and the bell dings, the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: manager comes over, hits a couple of buttons. They don't
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: ask any questions. I think it actually works. I know
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: what you're saying. It could it can really give people
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: this false sense of entitlement about bringing us back. But
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: I think in their in their case, it's so it's
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: like the honor system. It's so easy. It's like, well,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: I don't dare bring something back that there's no reason to.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that Nordstroms too, that you can bring anything back
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: to them. You know.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: I remember being you know, as I got into upper management,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 5: you know, going to these classes. And one of the
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: one of the stories that the motivational speaker gave was
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: was how Armstrongs would take any Armstrongths, Nordstroms would take
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: anything back. And somebody brought back the tire, yeah, and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 5: they replaced it and the and he got got a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: bonus because he took back the tire with no problem.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 5: And North Froms doesn't carrie tires, and you.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Brought to a product back they don't sell.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 5: Right, And that was the lesson you were supposed to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: learn on how you're supposed to satisfy the customer. And
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 5: I said, you know, I don't want those people shopping him.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I still you know what that that's exactly right. Yeah,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: that tells you a lot about them.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And then they make the argument that like you know, oh,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: well that just made a customer of Nordstrums for life.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody is going to take advantage of.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm like, I don't think they If somebody,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: if somebody brought a tire back to Nordsrums.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 5: I would fire the guy that.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think that customer is going to be
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: my customer for life, because I think that they don't
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: understand what we sell.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: You know what, Here's what I've always had a problem
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: with when it comes to managers is that usually you
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: you're promoted as a manager because you've done a good job,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: You've learned the business, you know what's going on. But
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: has anybody taught you how to handle people? Has anybody
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: taught you how to handle your employees? Has anybody taught
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: you these things that you know? You can take advice,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: but you kind of have to have that within you.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: A good leader, you know what makes a good leader?
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: Some people are just born a good leader. Show me
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: how you want your company, ryn, what do you do this?
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: And that? All? Handle the rest. I'll handle the people too.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Many times managers may have a lot of knowledge, but
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: they're terrible with people. Yeah, they're terrible with people. Like
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: that seminar that you went to that you're talking about,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: I think without going to that seminar, you could manage.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 5: The one thing that I learned how to do with
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: employees and it worked out really well, was you're always
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 5: going to have an employee that can't do something, and
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: you just get frustrated trying to get him to.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: Do I find what he can do.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, find what they do like to do and what
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 5: they do right. We had a guy working when I
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: was in Claremont that was horrible at everything. But we
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 5: had a found display up front and found just our
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: fountains are really expensive, and he loved maintaining the fountain.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 5: No one else wanted to clean those fountains to get
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: the algae out and stuff, but he kept them pristine.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 5: And and you know, my assistant manager at the time
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 5: wanted to fire him, and I go, you know why,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 5: you know, look at no one else will do this.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 5: So we just gave him, gave him less hours. When
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: he came in the found he was in charge of
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: the fire.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Everyone's good at something, you mind? You know, No, I
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: agree back to.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: My buddy Artie, who was the assistant manager. We had
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: a cashier that we hired who was terrible. She was
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: a bad cashier. She loved uh sales, she loved helping people,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: and when it came time to unloading trucks, she could
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: pick up two five gallons in each hand, so four
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 5: or five gallons at a time.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 4: Huh, do you have your wrong money back?
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: Or you're so, yeah, her register went in balance at
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: the end of the day.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, that but I mean these days though, I mean
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: back in our day, back then. Yeah, back in the day,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: we had to actually count change back, right, it didn't
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: tell you.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: And there was.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Remember when John worked, he was it was like punch
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 4: punch bunch.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. My first job at a Hamburger joint on the beach,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: you know somebody it was it was nine to ninety. Well,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: let's say that's a bad example. Let's say it was
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: eight eight fifty and they gave you a ten. He
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: had to go fifty makes nine? Nine is ten? Counting
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: change back? Well, now the register just tells you how
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: much change to give back to somebody.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah. The only thing that sells the cashier down now
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: is if you try to give if they ring up
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: that you gave him a ten and you go, oh
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 5: here I have twenty six cents.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: That's what Ada does, and like, let me just give
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: you the change back. Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's exactly right.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Let's see we close enough. Yeah, let's take a break
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: and then we have one more segment coming up. All right,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: so you know what, see's a little rough, but we're
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: going to make it to the island. Yeah, I think
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: we're okay. Guard in America Bistalk Radio, thank you for
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: joining us. We love having you each and every weekend.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: So again, the final segment coming up next day with us.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: This is Garden America. We are back, gentlemen, back on
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: the air, back on BISTO. Pride your back on Facebook line.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 5: John. Hey, back when we were talking about figs and
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 5: I mentioned the black jack fig, Veronica pointed out without saying, John,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 5: you don't know what you're talking about. She said, my
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: blackjack fig is in a pot and it stays small.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: And that's absolutely correct that if they're in a pot,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: they will stay small.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll grow to the size.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah. But in the ground is one they'll shoot up.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: So thanks for pointing that out, Baronica. That's that's good
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 5: to remember that some dwarfs are more dwarf than a container.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's a tough thing sometimes knowing as far
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 4: as what will grow into container and stop, and then
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: what will grow in a container and then bust out,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: you know, like fuffocated and yeah, or begin to get
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: rid bound. Yeah exactly.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: So Tanya had mentioned how one of her favorite nurseries
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 5: was Green Acres, and there's one in Roseville. And I'm
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 5: trying to think the guy that's started Green Acres Kittie Albert.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Right, I'm sorry, that was mister Haney. He bought it
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: from mister Haney. Yeah.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking they were out of Sacramento originally, right, and
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: so like Roseville's outside.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 4: The Sacramento right, yeah, exactly.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: But anyway, that's a good nursery. But I'm thinking that
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: the guy was originally from There was a nursery in Phoenix,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 5: and I think they came out and did start Green Acres. Yeah,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 5: it might have been the Star people, I'm not sure. Yeah, anyway,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: Green Acres is imagine.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: Running a nursery in Phoenix in the summertime.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: There's a lot there's a lot of nurseries out there.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: I think they kind of rest in the summer. Yeah,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 5: that that would be similar to say, can you imagine
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 5: running a nursery in Minneapolis in the winter time?
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just why what are you doing?
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 5: In my in my first part of my career was
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 5: at Frank's Nursery, which was based in Detroit, and and
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: they you know, come winter, what do you do and
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 5: it was before the break, before the house plank craze,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: so you couldn't get plants in the winter, and they
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: would bring in I think we've talked about this before,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 5: but any little they would go to New York to
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: these close out places and buy anything cheap. And I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 5: mean there would be uh, school supplies, clothes, anything to sell.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: I remember seeing Franks was selling.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: Anything to sell through the winter.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: They would buy money coming in.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 5: So I would have to display this stuff down the aisles,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 5: and I remember uh getting in girdles, play these girdles.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: I don't think John would walk around wearing them.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 5: I don't think they were them anymore, right, I don't
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 5: think women wear girdles. I don't know. Maybe our listeners know.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 5: But there was a girdle that had to be I
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 5: would guess three feet wide because a lot of the
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 5: clothing that I was irregulars. So I'm thinking I took
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: it to the manager. I said, first of all, I
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 5: don't know how to display the Second of all, how
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 5: practical is it if you have a girdle this big?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 5: What's the point?
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? What were those things? Back in the Victorian ages?
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: Of courses? Of course, they would pull them tight, tight, tight,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: So your waist was like, you know, three inches.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 5: That's what they did to not three inches, but I
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: think eighteen inches is what they You can go even
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: less than that, wasn't it. I don't know, but I
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: remember it's like we're experts on this stuff.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: Well, it's don't even know what a girdle is or
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: if they use him.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: Now you're over here.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 5: I remember Vivian Lee and Gone with the Wind. Remember
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 5: the scene where Mammy is pulling her tight in her course?
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do remember that, and.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 5: I do remember it was I thought it was eighteen inches,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 5: but could have even been sixteen inches.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: As much as you can't till the woman can still breathe.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 5: Well, do you know that's why they had to.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: Do we have right now?
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 5: No, that's why they had couch show what fainting couches?
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: You know those those those coaches that you just kind
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 5: of like that, they were called fainting couches. It was
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: because the women couldn't breathe, gotcha, Yeah, or they'd get
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: an attack of the vapors.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, I don't about check Tiger the newsletter.
• 1:15:46

  Speaker 2: a problem when we did a remote.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: At the nursery.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 5: Yes, I don't think people care, right, Yeah, they do.
