  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bronnie's better. Had a lot going on I was
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: at the Good Weddings going on.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: The Pacific auction was had been moved from February to March.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: That guy I missed. That went really well, yeah, long long, yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: See, we've tried to cut our auctions over the years
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a little bit too. Of course, John says it don't
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: worry this. Instead of like thirty roses this year, there's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: going to be a twenty one.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, twenty nine.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But no, you can drag can it?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I can't. But anyway, And then then my son
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: got married the next week and Tiger officiated at the wedding,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and I have to tell all our listeners, Tiger did
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: an awesome job. If you want to get married or remarried,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: just give Tiger a call.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Now, what do you think about that that
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: he puts you on the spotlight? You know?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I asked Tiger. I asked, Tiger, you know, have you
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: done this before?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: He said yeah, about ten times. And I said, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: they all turn out good, goes about eighty percent.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got an eight out of ten.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: So I'm thinking, if you're in baseball eighty percent, you're a.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Superding in the Hall of Fame. Undred Yeah, I'm a
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Hall in the fame, right, all in.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: The fame, but weddings maybe not so much.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: But as I discussed with Tiger prior to the wedding,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it's always good to know the room, know who your
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: audience is going to be, you know a little bit
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: about the background so you can relate. Yeah, and I'm
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: sure you've had some twenty percent of the dogs that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you officiated just didn't It just didn't happen. Tiger was
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: in Toastmasters. I figured that out at one time.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that he had a quote from C. S. S Lewis,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: which impressed me. And it was very professional, professional and heartfelt.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: It was a good group of people, and that's what
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: makes the big difference on it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say, Yeah, the piano, the people were
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: anybody like last minute come up and say hey can
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you say this? Or here can you read this? Yeah?

  Speaker 4: was a good crowd and good friends, good people.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Good time said by all.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you have a joke lined up? All kind
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: of with a little like little zinger.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: You know. The the entrance itself kind of led to
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: that there was a lot going on.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: So I had a lot of bridesmaids and uh.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there was a lot going on. So just
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: kind of that eight and eight, right, Yeah, a big
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: group of people and a lot of explaining of what's
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: happening and who people are, and.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: So there was there were a lot of last minute decisions.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah at the reception, BA, just go with it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: At the reception, I'm sitting at the table eating and
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: my daughter in law goes, they just mentioned your name.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You've got to go up there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And say, yeah, exactly.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: No one ever told me, so I didn't prepare anything.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but that's always I've been in those situations before.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was fine. I mean it worked out of
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: John did a wonderful job at the speech.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Father speech for sure.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Usually the best man says something, so I didn't know
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: I was going to have to go up and say something.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: But the best man was my oldest son, Joe, and
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I thought he did a good job with Man, I've
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: downloaded my speech on chat and he goes and here
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: it goes, still still loadload, still loading, forget about it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: It was cute though, because you know Joe and Jesse
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: being brothers, you know, they're they working together and everything
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: for for many many years. I don't know. I mean,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: maybe i'm calling out Joe here a little bit. But
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: he tends to play a pretty hard guy, you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: like you know, he's a he's a tough guy, confident,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and he broke down during the speech. You know. It

  Speaker 4: was it was very it was it was great. It
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: was great to see him, you know that way. It's
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: his brother.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Now, as you get older, you tend to cry easier
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: about things like things.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: What Why did I just cry like when you get
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: pricked by a rose?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm surprised I didn't you said that because
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I was telling somebody the other day that, oh I
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: think I told you this.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: That might be our guest. Yeah, well how about that?

• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I tend to tear up over things now
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: more than I think. It's just basically, as you get older,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you've got more of a history behind you. You understand
• 6:52

• 11:25
  Speaker 4: All right, and on the line with us this morning
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: is David Doomini from the UK, author of the book
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Plants with Superpowers. Just release this pat this month, right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: David, that's right, it's just going out. My copies are
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: in the post. I should be getting a few of
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: them on Monday. And is a book contained genuine superpower
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: of plants that we know every day. These are planks
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: are on the top of a mountain, ranger, bottom of
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: the sea, or in the deep darkest part of a
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: borneo jungle. These are seventy five plants that you can
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: grow in your own home and God at least one
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: of them as a secret a personality that makes it
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: very special.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: And and like you say, like these are sometimes plants
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: that you could be walking right by right now. That
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: you don't even realize or see in a grocery store
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: and not understand it fully because you just see it
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: every day and you're like, wait a minute. So, I mean,
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: you know, it's so neat to kind of get into
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: the depths of the plant science and understand how they grow,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: why they grow, what they do. And you know, your
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: book really breaks it down because sometimes we hear plants,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: oh they can they can grow here, and you're just like, oh,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: that's great, it grows there, but you don't understand why
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: it can't or what has adapted to it to make
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: it grow there. And so what inspire you to get
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: going on that?
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Well, I think with my children, connecting and engaging them
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: in horticulture, with the passion of growing cultures up in
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: your own mind. Little things that we did as kids,
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: when we were all growing up, whether it's putting a
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: blade of grass in speezing it in between your two
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: thumbs and making it into a trumpet, whether it's little
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: snap dragons you squeeze at the side, whether it's sticky
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: grass you throw honkers to play daisy chains. All of
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: those small, you know, exciting things when we were kids
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: where the world held a lot of new things that
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: we were learning. Now we keep a lot of those
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: within ourselves. I mean, scent, for instance, does throw us back.
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: So oxygenated hydrocarbons are released when grass is being cut
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: and we smell cut grass. For many of us, it's
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: the center when we were kids of the school slaying
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: fields being cut, and it unlocks those memories. And then
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I thought, wouldn't it be great if we could find
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: more amazing things to entertainers when we're older, like gems
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: and beauty of nature rearwoken in our own mind. So
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: I related this book and every single chapter, every single
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: plant will have something that amazes you. What's the smile
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: in your face? And reconnects you with nature, especially in
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: the world that's so overdominated now with technology we're swiping
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: and scrolling. This book encourages us.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: To look up and you know, So, did you know
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: some of these kind of superpowers already or did you
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: kind of like just start to do a deep dive
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: in like research and find a lot of these out yourself.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, so some of it's some of it I knew
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: some of it. I suspected we went in not all
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: of them that that came apparent with the as part
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: of the process. But it took me into different areas.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: It took me areas of neurology, how the brain works.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: It took me across to how electricity. Some plants have
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: the ability to charge your mobile phone. Other plants the
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: ability that has captivated their own unique nature from millions
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: of years ago that's still present today. I mean, take
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: the being a sly trap for instance. We all know
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: to being a side trap. Dianea, Darwin's most favorite plant,
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: evolved for sixty five million years. It's been on the
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: planet and it has evolved into a super predator, particularly
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: focused towards eating meat. And you think to yourself, it's
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: not its flower, it's a modified leaf. Is the mouth
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: the flowers something completely different. I'm looking at one of
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: mine here now. So you've got the sort of hair
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: that looks like teeth, and then you've got an inner place.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: When the trap closes, it goes into a digestion. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: as kids, if you keep poking the finger, it goes
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: into digestion and it wastes the energy of the trap.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: There is no meat inside. So how does the plant,
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I thought, how does the plant work out? Well, it's
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: a little leaf that's flown into it or whether it's
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: an actual fly. Now here's the amazing bit this plant.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: It is a plant that has the ability to count.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: And let me just explain what I mean by counting
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: all count one, one, one, But you need a memory
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: to go from one to two. The venus fly trap
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: has a memory that can count up to thirty. How
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: amazing is that it?
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: So why is the important that it can count?
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Well, what it's got is a series of sensors inside
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: the leaf, little tiny hairs. So if a leaf flew
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: into it and didn't move much, then it hasn't figgered
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: enough hairs. So what happens is a little fly goes
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: into it, touches a hair, and it releases what's called
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: a calcium clock. The plant has the ability to count.
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: The first does calcium. So what it does is that
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: if a second sensor is tottcha within thirty with the
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: thirty seconds or something like that, it knows something's moving
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: around in it. Then it closes and after a couple
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: more touches, it initiates the squeeze gotcha.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: So so it doesn't just close on the first touch
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: like you would think some like an impulse like a reaction.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: This actually has you know, you know, lack of better terms,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: like you're saying like a brain that kind of knows, like, hey,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: look at like you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna wait
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: around until this bug is getting comfortable, so to speak,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: and then I'm going to close because otherwise I'm just
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: wasting my energy exactly.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: See if I got a question for you in your research,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: did you ever come across a bug or an insect
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: that the venus flight trap would trap and begin to
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: close aneath that was poisonous to the venus flight trap?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Well, it depends on what what toxins are. I get
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: asked that this a lot. The difference in between toxicity
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: and plants across different species changes. So, for instance, you
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: might say to yourself, I don't know the U three
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the taxes per car to the U tree. The berries
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: of the U tree, the seed that's right inside are
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: extremely card You are toxic. So if you had about
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: eight to ten of those seeds, you're dead. But hey,
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: come all the birds can eat it well as part
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: of the process of easing it. It's the gel around
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: the outside. Ste have a long enough in their stubbard
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: there's never a sufficient acid there to break down the
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: seed itself, so it just passes through. Yet as part
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: of the digestion system of a human being, that part
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: of breaking down releases that cardiotoxic and that's where that
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: the heart attack takes place. But I don't know, I
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: think I think there's something where some people's or bugs
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: are so hard. It may be difficult, but not again,
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: it's got plenty of mouths, and it's adapted in its
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: area specifically focused towards the soft midges, mite ketos and
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: things like that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then there's all the other are never plants
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: out there that do eat all kinds of other things too,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: and they've adapted to that, you know, just found you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: how they can can grow in certain areas. I mean,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: we've talked about the ability for pollination before on the show,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: where only certain you know, insects or certain animals sometimes
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: can pollinate a certain flower. So you know, they've adapted,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: you know, over the years with all these fun, little,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: fun little abilities. Hey, David, we're going to take another break.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: When we get back from the break, you know, this
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: has seventy five plants that you kind of focused on,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: and you know, lots of fun stories behind each one.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: But I want to talk a little bit more about
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of you know where where this kind
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: of came from. So when we get back from break,
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: we'll continue chatting with David doo money from the UK
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: about plants with superpower.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: And of course we are monitoring Facebook live questions, comments
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: or whatever's on your mind regarding our interview with David,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: please put those right there in the comments section. We
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: are going to take a break. Biz Talk Radio going
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to pay some bills and a big thank itter Fertilom,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: our major sponsor here on Guard in America. Brian Main,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: John Bag, Nascar, Tyger, Pellafox. We returned after these messages
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: on BizTalk Radio.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Garden America Radio Show with Brian,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: John and Tiger.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: We have returned. Welcome, Thank you so much. Been a
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks since we've been back in studio. John
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: is back with us taker Peala Fox, I'm Brian Made.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: We continue in a very very interesting so far Tiger
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: as we continue with David.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so David Dominie again plants with superpowers? You know
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: some of these these superpowered plants that you're talking about, Uh,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: David are just from you know, the tests of time,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: like meaning you know they've been around for you know, centuries,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: and you know, now we're finding out about this information.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: And you mentioned, you know, in the book one of
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: them is that the ginko tree. And you know, we
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: we know a lot of benefits of a geinko tree.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: You know, there's all the health benefits. You know, the
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: tree is a beautiful tree, and it grows in a
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: wide variety of areas too, you know, but we also
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: found you know, it's it's able to you know, withstand
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: things that we we didn't even know just because of
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: certain areas it was in.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Right, yeah, well, yes, absolutely right. And first of all,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: the ginko is the last of the ginks. So the
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: ginkos that live today are from a lineage that goes
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: right there. They're back two hundred and fifty million years ago.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: There were the prototypes of three and the gink of
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: the bilover is one of the last of the big
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: families of that time. And you can plant them and
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: grow in your garden. An amazing thing is you could
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: go to a museum. I think that the oldest one
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: is that there's a fossil of a leaf of the
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: ginko that's one hundred and seventy five million years old.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: If it walks to that museum, look at that leaf fossil,
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: walk back to your your own gardens. Such living leaf
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: for real. That's how amazing that plant is now. The
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: plant also has a unique ability to survive a lot
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: of pollution. But probably the biggest surprise was it actually
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: survived an atomic bomb in nineteen forty five in Hiroshima,
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: when the explosions happened. About one point six kilometers away
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: from the epicenter of the explosion, there was a temple
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: which had a group of these incos planted, and with
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: the horrific devastation it enjoyed, the temples radiated the trees,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: blasted off the bark, branches, the leaves. Months the trees
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: started to sprout again, which was seen as a big
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: sign of hope in the area. So I think that's
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: a pretty good superpower in inco to be able to
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: survive something like that, especially something that's connected so long
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: with this planet.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, we we see that, you
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: know with other with other trees, whether it's been a
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: flood or a wildfire. That's scorch an area and you
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: know what they can withstand and then sometimes you know,
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: come back from and when when you know, we cannot
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: even fathom the idea of being able to be out
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: there during that moment, you know, in in you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: with the gink go specifically, like you say, it has
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: such a such a history, you know, beyond beyond what
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: we even know about it, and then you know just
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: the other benefits to it, you know, when it comes
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: to you know, finding these these plants that you're you're
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: you're talking about or you're in doing your research, you know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: I know that you've you've done a lot of studying.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Are you kind of more focus on you know, science
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: when it comes to the plants or how did you
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: kind of come around this or are you more of
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: a whole cultures and you just like the beauty of them?
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah. My education and background I'm a horticulturalist, is an
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: understanding of the development and growing of plants. But it
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: takes you this book and the research in this book
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: put me into other areas as well, quite a lot
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: of different areas when you think about it. What was
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: history One was obviously entomology, a taxonomist, there was neurology,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: and the process of electric Well, they just say for
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: electric For instance, a mobile phone with the right adaptation
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: can be charged by a potato. See the potato is
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: nature's battery. Its superpower is it is it holds electrical
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: chemical energy obviously stored in acidic start within the potato
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: itself and with a remember it as a school science
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: project with a zinc nail and a bit of copper wire.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: What happens is there's a chemical reaction between the zinc
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: and the copper, which releases electrons, which produces energy, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: one medium sized potato something like that attached to an
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: LED lamp to make that lamp light up forty days.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: So try to explain all of that detailed in three
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: hundred words with in the segment of the book it
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: is hard. Well, if I just take a look at walnut. Okay,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: look at the walnut looks pretty much like a human brain.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: And it was believed for a while. And that's how
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: I got the thing. I was always believed that the
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: walnut was good for the brain. So part of the
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: research looking at how warnut particularly engages with the brain,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: it suddenly takes me into areas that I'm I'm not
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: an expert in although I have a fairly good understanding now,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: is that other than the shape and the swirling features
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: of the water, it's the linear layer castid and the
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: polythenols within the walnuts itself actively improves memory, cognition, and
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: motor function. But it also contains phoby insaturated fatty acids
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: which improves brain health, and it's full of other compounds
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: again that assist sleep. Do you think about it, the
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: way the brain work is improved by the constituens of
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: a walnut, The health of the brain is enhanced by
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: again the constituents and the compounds within it that makes
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: you sleep freshens the mind as well. So waw nuts
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: superpower is to enhance the.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Brain, yeah, or something to the doctrine of signature. Yeah. Yeah,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: We've talked about the doctrine and signatures, which is where
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: that concept of when a plant looks like a body part, David,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: it's supposed to kind of somehow help that body part.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Or be used to treat or be used to treat diseases.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Of that body part. And obviously through the years a
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: lot of those have been debunked, but some of those,
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: like you're saying with the walnut actually have some truth to.
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: It, right, they do. And there's other things that the
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: simple in one particular the berry. Take the blueberry obviously
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: identified as a plant that has superpowers. Who were the
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: health Yeah, I mean the age defying antioxidants it contains
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: in itself is equal to five survey of other fruit
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: and veggs, so we know it's an anti agen that
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: keeps us younger. Again, polyphenos within there again supports against
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: wrinkle and skincare. And there has been studies that the
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: blueberry may affect a gene which regulates the fat storage
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: of abdominal fat, so to make it look younger, feel younger,
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: thinner around the waist. It sort of realize that that
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: plants have a lot more personality rather than something that
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: grows in the garden.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Definitely, And you know, it's so fun to kind of
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: dive into these because like you kind of are mentioning
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: these plants. None of these plants are you know, on
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: some top mountain top that nobody has any grasp of
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: knowing how it lives or where it lives or we'll
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: ever see it. These are things that you see every day,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: and you know you might even consume every day. I mean,
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know if the blueberry pie that I ate
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: has the same benefits of what you just talked about.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it might also have to do
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: with what it was in. But I activate the benefits
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: of blueberry pie.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: You need a scoop of vanilla.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Through that, through that now now, now, David, is this
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: your first book that you've written or have you written
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: other books?
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: A written other books? But before we move on from that,
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: having having you just confessed that you've had a blueberry pie.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: There was also some strong evidence that links blueberries to
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: being a natural form of VIAGRAA oh, there you go.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I thank Tiger is well aware of that. He gets
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: about two or three of those piles a week.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: It's just always that blueberries with me.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: My last book, the last book that I wrote with
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: should about mental health benefits of growing plants indoors how
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: the interaction of the growing houseplants means as a human species,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: we're very different from from other creatures we take care.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Pollinators and bees riots they have enhanced photo receptors, so
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: they see different uh let's see ultra violet light obviously
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: patterns that we can't. But as humans we can see
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: more different variant shades of green than almost any other color.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: Is mainly because we were either hunters or hunting and
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: we're trying to identify things in the woods in the forest.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: But I also looked at certain ways of the production
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: of oxygen by plants in side rooms, and also the
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: removal of certain toxins that builds up from antipersperant cleaning products,
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: you know, opening the door, exchange of gases from from
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: exhaust schemes outside crital or epidly benzine from out hie
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: to the anxiety and all the lights. So I wrote
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: a book that highlighted fifty housepan you can go inside
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: your home that improve your mental physical well being, and
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: that was a I take. The big exhibit science is
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: the bit about we have this thing in the UK
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: called the Chelsea Flower Show. I don't know what you
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: heard it.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: We've been there, have you?
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, I say see the science exhibit of this.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: About three years ago we won the Golden and one
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: of the best in show categories explaining that the science
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: of growing plants inside. And I take loads of videos
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: on YouTube, so if anybody's interest, they're all for free
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: at David Dominie is my YouTube channel and you can
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: get on there. We take a lot of information, fascinating
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: interaction with humans and plants that may pay them.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Hey, David, sorry, you gotta cut you off. We're going
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: to have to take another break real quick. We get back.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: We'll continue chatting with David about all the wonderful things
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: he's doing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: And if you're on biscok Radio, one more segment before
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: we break up the our Facebook live we'll keep on going.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: This is Guard in America back after Peace Messages, Paying
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: for Bills.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Bisktalk Radio partners, Welcome back to the Garden America Radio
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: Show with Brian John and Tiger Ye.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: We are back. As I mentioned if you are tuned
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: in on bistok Radio, this is the final segment of
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: our one We can back at six minutes after the
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: lots of show still remaining. The runway is still along
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: for us here as we continue with our conversation with
• 31:35

• 31:51
  Speaker 4: about all the wonderful educational things that you do. You know,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: the books, the videos and like you said, you know

  Speaker 2: for on the on the link on the link. Okay.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: But also you do a lot of tiktoks. I mean
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: you are educating people not just about plants, but about nature,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: as you kind of mentioned with your other book, you know,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: and you have this enthusiasm behind you, David. Where where
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: is all of this uh, you know, desire to educate
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: come from?
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: I think I think when you have a postion and
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: and it's been my life calling is working with plants
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: and every day you're learning something new from it. And
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I've always felt big down that there is a plativity,
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: a happiness, a passion and motivation that comes with with
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: connected with nature. And I'm on Facebook too, so I
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: do Facebook post for short videos every day that that
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: highlights some of the magical things. So if you want
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: to see what gardening in the UK is like I
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: do it, it'll show on YouTube which is a year
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: in my garden, So you can follow me popping, and
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: you'll probably see a lot of similarities and the things
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: that you're growing orthough with a lot better temperature than
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: I just infreezing some mornings. But when we come into summer,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: I'm doing so many different activities. But it's a privilege
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: to be connected with plants and nature and becoming happier
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: because of it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean, you know, sorry, John, did you
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: have something add I was just going to mention quickly
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: that in reading says that he has the book on
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: order now, the recent book that we're discussing, the plants
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: were Superpowers, And Tanya in San Jose Uh says, I'm
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: loving this guest.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: With three exclamation points. David, she said, I'll also have
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: to order his book.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and go ahead.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: David, I was just said, that's very kind to them.
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: I just posted the link to the YouTube channel, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: on the link to the YouTube channel, there's the other
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: links takes you to his website, takes you to where
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: to order the book from. Well, thank you, you know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: and you know also there was the link. Yeah, so
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: there's no hiding from it at all, you know. So
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: so over there in the UK, David, when John and
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: I actually visited to go to the Chelsea flower show.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: You and I didn't go to Chelsea.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Hampton Court, okay, but when we went to Hampton Court,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: was that like it was June nice belief, but like
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: five years.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Ago, about five five years.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Ago, you know, the the idea of gardening was pre COVID. Yeah,
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: it was pre COVID. The idea of gardening. There was
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: so much more ingrained into the people, you know, meaning
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: meaning you know, it was just very a standard of
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: crack it is it is versus here. And when I
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: say here, I do just speak for southern California because
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: on the East Coast, I think that they have that
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: concept of it's spring, we need to guarden, I need
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: to get outside, you know. But anyways, over there it
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: is more of a lifestyle. And so when you're when
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: you're meeting people over there and you're talking about plants,
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: does it seem like the people there just have a
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: better understanding of what to do?
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: David, Yeah, yes, So there is an it's quite a
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: culture the garden, the space out of the back and
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: everyone there's different things with it. But the culture of
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: flower shows. People get it together during those shows that
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: people turn up with their children, their dogs. It's it's
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: it's a pretty good get together, and that's that's really
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: the magic of it. But they're very serious. I mean
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: I I present on the two or three national TV
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: shows here because we have a lot of gardening programs
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: that are commonplaced on our evening tea be and I
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: do some of them where we're creating whole gardens in
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: very short period of time. It's I've got to do
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: one the end of next week for again an hour
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: and a half to completely make over somebody's front garden
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: on TV. So it's real. But sometimes I don't go
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: into an audience of a garden center and I'll do
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: one hundred shows in a year. You know. I if
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: I go to talk about grow your own, for instance,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: there's usually a silent hush for the first ten minutes
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: with everybody very knowledgeable about growing your own with their
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: arms crossed. I know, what does this guy from the
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Telly know about grow your own? So I usually throw
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: it open to questions and answers, and then after about
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: five minutes and difficult questions, they everybody relaxed into it
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: and then they'll never let me go at the end.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: It's the one that goes into early evening. But yes,
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: you're right, there is a culture in there because we're
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: very seasonally based. We mentioned this top of the show,
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: is that we're just coming out of a winter, most
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: of us growing seeds now a little bit of heat
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: in the greenhouse, so the excitement of spring is so
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: very special.
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: And then we go into into a summer and their unpredictable,
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: rarely last summer, but the summer's all very very hot,
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: and then it goes into water. And then so the
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: punctuations of the season. We look outside and almost every
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: week it looks different.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And in your guys's commitment, your you know,
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: your level of commitment to the garden, I mean, you
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: know your your the orangerie, you know at those beautiful estates,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: you know, building whole houses to house the plants that
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: you know are not native to your area and not
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: adapted to your area, just so you guys can have them,
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: you know, and you guys have have you know, gone
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: all over the world to collect plants. I mean at
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: the at the what was the Q right Q at
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: the Cue Botanical Garden. The collection that you guys showcase
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: there is is just mind blowing from all all over
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: the world and then you've created their own environments in
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: that area to kind of be able to showcase them off.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Well, the plant hunters came from the UK, Yeah, mainly,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: So, so I mean do you do you kind of
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: feel like you're in that that group right there, David,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: I mean kind of you know this plants with superpowers,
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: You're you're bringing knowledge to people that you know they
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: had no clue about.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, I think I think it is. Case. We were
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: over a kid. It was a thing called the Wardian case.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: That's what was a It was a glass case of
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: first use which then transforwarded the bottle gardens and torarians
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: which kept plants alive so as they were bringing back
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: from Australia and the Indians and the like. It's the
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Victorian times. That's where this whole concept of plant collection
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: and I suppose Q Gardens, if you think about it,
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: is almost a zoo for plants. Yeah, so it's an
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: opportunity for people to go and see your kid has
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: did and palm trees we don't have here with you
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: guys out of abundance. So it's pretty much it's pretty
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: much like that. But for most of mine and my
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: audience that I talked to on facebooktok Instagram and everything
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Hey, David, sorry to interrupt. When we get back from
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: the break, Sorry we had to take another break. When
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: we get back, we'll be able to kind of share
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: more of the info that you were you were in
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: the middle.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I gotta stay on time. We've got news coming up
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: on BizTalk Radio. We will return with David after the
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: top of the hour six minutes after for bistalk Radio.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Even put it from Facebook Live. Do you stay with us?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: This is Garden America.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: Don't go maybe.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: All right, if you're on biskalk Radio, welcome to our
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: number two. We are Gardener or obviously or on Facebook
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Live as well. So we're going to keep on rolling
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: with our conversation with David, and again a lot of interest,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: sold a couple of books, lots of compliments so far.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: And the good news, David, we only take what five
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: percent of every book you self, so you're still being
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: pretty good shape. David.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So sorry to cut you off. David. You know,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I was so entrenched in listening to your conversation that
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: I forgot the time. But you know, before the break,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: you were discussing some of the people more of your
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: subscribers over there, do you remember where you left off yesterday?
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: So my thought ise is gardening doesn't have to be competent.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Everybody can grow and the think of going your own
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: for it. Some of the posts that I'm putting out
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: as simple things isn't because whatever happens, we no matter
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: where you are in the world, as humans were inside
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: the house, the temperature is pretty standard inside of my
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: house it would be in your house over the other
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: side of the world. So a window still, for instance,
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: can do so much. So I do some posts on
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: how to cross and grow your own on your own
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: window cell, whether that's Chilis or Mico Greens or prest
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: or whether it's two's in the right plant if you've
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: got a dog in the gardens. So although the a
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: lot of the things that I write about superpowers have
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: an amazing and slightly technical basis, a lot of the
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: information that I put online is to encourage people to
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: engage and enjoy guardening for all individual projects that then
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: lead into into a bigger embracement of a hobby that
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: will give them a passion and happiness all their lives.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean the videos that you produced also
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: show people how easy it can be if you just
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: don't overthink it too. And like we said, you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: between TikTok and YouTube and Facebook, you know, there's no
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: no lack of being able to get ahold of these.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: I am going to share the link to your book
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: right now on to our chat as well, you know,
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: but your website David Domini dot com. You also have
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: a newsletter that people can subscribe to you right, yes,
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: and it's all for free.

  Speaker 5: I do a newsletter that comes out with lots of
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: different gardening activities linked to interesting videos. It's all for
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: free and there'll be something in there that that hopefully
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: a little project to start or engage with. And it's
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: all about connecting people to the gardeners. And I mean
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: sometimes it's the simplest thing that for me, it's going
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: out to the garden at the end of the ving,
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: especially in summer, just with a cold beer, no phone,
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: sitting down and watching the swifts. We get swifts that
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: co between the telephone lines. It's the simple engagement with
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: nature that balances as that reduces cause us all in
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: the body stress foremone and it just reconnects with nature
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: and you feel happier more in the rips because of it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: And sitting down looking down at the phone, going through
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: individual videos having said that I using that same technology
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: to inspire people to work to engage with nature at
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: the same.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Time, yes, and and and in a very good way.

  Speaker 3: Thank you you take care of you, David Domini.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: What was is it the Winston Churchill who had the
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: quote that we used sometimes about the wandering in the
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: garden with your cigar and in the occasional aphis.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: No, that was, uh, the Reverend Dean Hall.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Why do I always think I always feel it's.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Smoke cigars? Yeah, he was the one that wrote a
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: book about roses, and do you remember the title of
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: the book was very creative. It was called book about Yeah,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: he had the we've told the story before, but he
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: was visiting London for business and and started missing his
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: garden at home, and so that that whole story came
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: up like that because he he heard he saw a
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: girl on the corner selling rose roses. So he bought
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: a rose stuck in his boot near as a boot near,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: smelled it and then said, you know, I miss my roses.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: I'm tired of the sounds and smells of Piccadilly. I'm
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: going home. So he went home and and talked about
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: being able to kind of decompress and walk in the
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: garden with his cigar. Casey came across an aphis. An aphis,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: he could just poke it with the cigar. That would
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: take care of it.
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: How how exact do you have to be to hit
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: an aphis with a cigar? Right? You know what I mean?
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: You're gonna be burning some leaves. You know, when you're.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Burning leaves anyway.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Start to come out right, you know in southern California
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: they're out year round for us, but it is the
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: time of year that they do start to come out
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: way more. They love that new supple group.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: I still have not one a fit anywhere in my ear.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: No way, Yeah, congratulating, really, I mean you've looked every
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: inch You've looked, You've lifted every rock.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: Every leaf, every looked under the leaves. Still can't you know?
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: That's interesting because I had that that city mold happening
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: with the palms sump spraying and me know, looking pretty good,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: and went, wait a second, look underneath, and that's what
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: most of the damage is. It's like, oh my gosh,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: really you have scale. Except yeah, so I've ended up.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Somebody was able to treat others. I just cut the leaf.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: They're in good shape, they'll grow more.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: I see one of our listeners, John Clements, is listening
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: or was listening. I don't know if he is now,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: but John, if you're still, I think he's going to
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: be doing a talk about citrus trees coming up here.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: I think at one of the local garden centers. So Johnathan,
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: you want to share where that? Maybe I missed it,
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: Sorry if I'm late, but you know, it's always fun
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: to see uh people in action. John's always a plethora
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: of knowledge about pretty much anything garden.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: You know what I need to find and I can't
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: remember the name. I've looked it up before, so I
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: know you can get the trees now. But I since January,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: I've been enjoying Sumo's sisters. Oh have you Yeah, the
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: Sumo Mandarins. They're unbelievably good, and I have three lemon trees,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: and don't you use any of the lemons. I'm thinking,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: why don't I just plant something I'm going to eat?
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Do you? How have you gotten yours? Albertson's. Oh do
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: you know which brand they're putting him under? Oh? Really?
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: Oh okay, well I just recent because you know, when
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: you go and you see a Quties, there's these other
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: ones called eels, eels. I haven't seen the seen the quties, yeah,
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: the QTS peels, and then I don't know, there's another brand,
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: and you know, Jeanine the other day brought one home
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, you made a mistake, because they're
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: the real hard to deal one, you know. So I
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: just grabbed a bag this week and I think they're
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: the easier to peel one.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: So Sumos they don't sell in bags because uh, major
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: market and fall Brooks Sellson for five dollars a piece.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and even at Albertsonce then a piece five dollars. Yeah,
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: and you do need a treat in. At Albertson's they're
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: on sale for three ninety nine pound, which is still
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: kind of expensive because each one weighs practically a pound.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Really yeah, but they're so good. Have you been eating them?
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: You haven't been eating them? No, Oh, wow, you don't
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: know what you're missing. I think we're coming towards the
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: end of the season, but I would have brought some in.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: You know that.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean rather healthy what you talk about. But
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: I do have a little story to tell you. This
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: goes back to probably the last time you were on
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: the air with us before you took your hiatus, and
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: you had brief this month. Last month in February, you
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: briefly mentioned that, no, I woke up this morning and
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: I had bagel and cream cheese, on and on. I
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: get home and danis, oh, oh, bagel and cream cheese.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: When John mentioned that haven't had that in years years,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: So what happens we go to the store for the
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: past once a week when we go to the store,
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: it's bagels and cream cheese, bagels and creams. I said,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: power of suggestion. Now, maybe the Sumo mandarin will trigger
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: something else now in the in the area of fruit.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's been bagels and cream cheese ever
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: since you mentioned.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: You know, there is no citrus easier to appeel.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: It's called Sumo because Suma wrestlers have a topknot. They're
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: here done in the right topnot and this is on
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: the citrus, so you can just grabbed that yank cut
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: off and it just falls away. It just falls away.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: But it's unbelievable. They're unbelievably good.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: We've got about a minute till our next break. As
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: we roll along. Here are we caught up? Are we
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: have we? You know hn't questions and comments? If we apologize?
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: We got so wrapped up with David so we can
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: scroll back and take a look. And if we did
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: miss something on Facebook, go ahead and post it again,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: whether it be question, comment, whatever's on your mind.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: Carlo's asking for a secret here.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: Oh oh.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Tanya also mentioned that she saw a pink pineapple at
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: the store. Uh huh have you seen those?
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I've seen them before. Yes, she said it was ten dollars. Yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: they're they're pretty pricey. They tend to be a little sweeter,
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: but pineapples can be pretty sweet. Oh yeah, I will say,
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: though you never, you know, here, you never get a
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: pineapple like what you problem.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: When we were in Costa Rica on the boat, Yea
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: and the guy could.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Because they have the package them and shipp them it.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: You'll never Right now, we have to take a break
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: for Biss Talk Radio this Garden to Marrick David, how
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: you be happy to know once again the micro hot.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Don't touch him. We're back on the air. We're live,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: We're live. We can't I don't think we don't even
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: have a seven seven second delay here. Wow, no, dumb,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: there's no dump button. No, we gotta be very careful.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: If that's really true. I'm surprised you would mention that.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: But I guess we don't have callers anymore other than guess.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Well that exactly now when we have callers back in
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: the day, Yes, we did. I think we had to
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: use it a few times. Well except that one story
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: years ago when I was producing Bruce's show and guy
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: called in from East County talking about how cold it was.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: One choice word the guy used, and Bruce didn't even
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: bat an eye.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: He said, it was so freezing cold.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was so freezing cold up here. And Bruce said, yeah, yeah,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: this time of year, that's what you're going to get.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: A good work to describe. Bruce was unflappable. Yeah, yeah,
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: oh yeah. Carla was asking the secret about why don't
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: have a fits. I honestly don't know for sure, but
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: my thought is the organic food that I'm using has
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: got so many beneficial micro organisms in it that it
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: reacts the same way that worms, right, yeah, and that
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: it the plants grow great with it. But instead of
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: a fast growth growth like with a miracle grower chemical fertilizer,
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: it's a healthy growth. It's a slower, determinate growth that
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: allows the plant to build up their cell walls. And
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: aphids are sucking insects, so.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: You can't get through those thick cell walls.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: They not as easily as they can through thin cell walls,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: which occur when plants are growing really fast exactly, so
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: they'll just go somewhere else.
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: And I think also which contributes to your success is
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: you know that idea of the integrated pest management concept
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: that you do just let nature kind of take care
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: of everything over there, meaning well, because you smart beneficial
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: around exactly, not just beneficial insects, but benefit features critters,
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: you know. And then like you're saying you allow natural
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: growth versus forced growth.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Lots of uh lizards around too, yeah.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I gotta love those liers we see them
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: all over the place.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: By the way, I just caught sixty nine and no,
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, seventy and seventy one go first.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one area where you don't have integrated and.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: This was since when when did you start keeping tracks?
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: It's been a year a year? About a year, yeah,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: about a year. I'm my goal is to reach one hundred.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: And then you're going to stop it for.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Hopefully then you know, like when are you guys going
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: to learn your lesson right now?
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: They won't. Yeah, created creating that good environment, Yeah, the
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: good bacteria versus the bad bacteria, that whole thing.
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: And then you know, I mean John's watering regime too,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: also contributes to just the overall health of the plant
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: and growth. Like he's not, you know, forcing a lot
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: and so therefore again you know, you're not forcing a
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: lot of new growth, you know. Yeah, I think that
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of things that attribute to not having
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of pests because you don't have a lot
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: of disease either, you know, out there on your plant,
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: which could be problematic as well, because you know, then
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: the disease causes the stress of the plant, and then
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: the stress of the plant, you know, makes it weaker,
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: and that's when pests come in.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: So, hey, would you say that? I think maybe because
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: we had all the rain, I'm starting to get just
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: signs of some very new growth on my plumerea. Yeah
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: it's okay, Mark fe you're yeah, I know, you're good.
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: After the first of March Oka pretty much February ends
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: are worry of frost or any kind of damage like that.
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: I have a plumerius starting the leaf out. Yeah, that
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: did not have leaves last Yeah, so there you go.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's happy finally.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's settled. Now, we're not sure.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: We're going to a variegated leaf one at the Yeah,
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: you can get a new one.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think we were at the Plumerius show.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Right Bellbow Park. Yeah, back in September, I think. Yeah,
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: was that when we did it, Yeah, September October. No,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that late, was it. Yeah, it was it
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: was toward the well, we can look up a show.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: I'll take your word for it. Yeah, please do. But
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: it was after summer.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Maya was the variety Maya and it had variegated leaves
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: and I kept that in a pot because the year
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: before when I planted all the plumeria. You stay all froze.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: I wasn't sure what would happen, but in a pot
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: it did fine.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can move it around.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Did you get that picture I took the patio. I
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: wanted to give you a perspective of the the growth
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: of the austria and the bottle tree.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't know what you were showing me at first,
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: and then I.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Big that sucker is Yeah, how about that?
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: It's not a sucker Yeah, No, suckers come from under
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: the graft union.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: But I transplanted that graft almost right away from that
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: pot that you had given me, and it's done very well.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: Hey, what is tiger?
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah's going to break out the thing.
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: I totally forgot it until we looked up. But I
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: brought in a cutting flower from my paintbrush. Lily.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Now about three weeks ago, I'm in the newsletter.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they the buds are just emerging.
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Now this is starting to fade.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this was getting older. It's kind of fading. They're
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: much more vibrant colors.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: Have you left them on like that and seen them form? Barris?
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, seats yeah, yeah, I normally leave them on. So
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: let me see here, like you can see if you're
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: watching the video.
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: It looks good in the video.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: I think I think this is the original plant.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: And then we sat the one you lost for a
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: while and then found it.
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, you know, I think this is the original one,
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: and then I have these two newer ones that look smaller,
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: so I think they had their offshoots of it. But
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: you know, lots of fun and you know, the coloration
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: on these is just striking. I mean when they first
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: come out. If you can see in the video of
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: the underside, these are in the Amberyllist family, right, John,
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: or they are emberallests day.
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not I don't think so. No, I
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: could be wrong, though, I'm not sure. It is a
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: it's a bulb, and it's a Hymanthus.
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: Uh huh.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: Actually skatedoxas. Skadoxas and hymanthis are related. And the way
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: you tell the two is that, let me, let me
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: make sure I get this right. Hymanthus has two leaves.
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, and then the flower spike comes up at
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: the center.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Mess manthis that's what I.
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: Missed.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: What you said?
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: Sometimes, John waguh, Yeah, that's exactly right. And the other
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: way to tell is.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: Uh, the scadoxes have a world of leaves instead of
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: just the two flat ones that come out.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, like is more of like the strappy leaves.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: You know, if you were if your plants are usually
• 58:26
  Speaker 3: category excuse me. Plants are usually categorized by the shape
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: of the flower, by their flower parts, you know, like
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: cruciferous vegetables have our Yeah, their flowers usually have four petals.
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: So this looks nothing like an amarilla's bloom. So that's
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: why I wouldn't guess it was in the amberialist family,
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: but it could be.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Right now, I was just gonna say, if I was
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: going to direct a science fiction movie and create a
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: planet and I wanted something that people didn't see every day,
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: plants that have different origins and stuff, I might start
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: with that, right, you know, just to give the.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: It almost looks like carnivorous, so look, yeah.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Exactly, And as I mentioned, it looks like you stuck
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: a flower on top of a celery stock.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if i'd eat that, though.
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: There was some gouey sap coming out of it.
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, speaking of goey sap, we've got to take a break.
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, we have Gouey sap it.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: We're going to come back. We've got two more segment
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: in terms of a Bistok Radio Facebook Live. Here we go.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: It's guard in America back after this break.
• 59:28
  Speaker 7: They were.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Already, as I mentioned before the break, two more segments
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: for biz Talk Radio Facebook Live. We decided during the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: break we make a lot of important decisions, and we
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: went back and forth on this, but we did come
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: to an agreement that we should do the quote of
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the week for those people that join us late in
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: the show. They don't always get to hear it because
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: we usually do it the first segment or two. So John,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: the Quote of the week and we'll tell you what
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: you got people that are just clamoring for this.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: Also before we do that, I checked this during the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: break and Scadoxus is the genus of African and Arabian
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: plants in the Emeraldist family.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: So it is you were Tiger an African and what
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: was it Arabian?
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: So what were Arabian?
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: Starting Arabian? But I mean that's got to be like
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: more along the Nile of not in the middle of
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: the desert, like this has got to be like more
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: of like the tropical Arabian Africa areas kind.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Of a thing that's cool interest thing Dubai. Yeah, and
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: the cool thing.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: Because it's a bulb, it probably travels, you know, because
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: you know, meaning a lot of times what you'll have
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: is you have a flood or something will wash out
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 4: an area, and those bulbs travel with whatever it is,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: And so I could imagine where it was native to
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: it was really pretty when they boomed.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Turkey, what we've mentioned before, has more
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: tulips than any other countries and a lot of the
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: bulb plants come from that area. So anyway, the quote
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: is reminds me a little bit of our talk with
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: David Dominie earlier in the show about spring hitting over there.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: Did you notice he said for pythia, Yeah, instead of
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: for ccythia. We don't usually don't say either one because
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: we don't have them in Santiago. But I remember, even
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: as a kid in Detroit, as soon as the forsiss
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: of bushes at the end of the street would come
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: in to bloom, you know, spring was here. So anyway,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: this quote is along those lines, and it's from one
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: of Brian's favorite people, Rachel Carson, and she said there's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: assurance that dawn comes after night, in spring, after winter.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: In nature, nothing exists alone. What do you got to
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: say to that Brian.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Period of silence here? Well, we all think about that.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: It's just trying to think of what is the alone thing?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: Well, because one thing leads everything related like.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 4: A well, no, I'm trying to think was there anything?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 4: Is there anything that really is alone?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Right, deep, deep thought, deep question that folks. Right, I
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: don't think there is is anything really alone? No, when
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: God wasn't happy being alone? True, But then we can
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: get into the whole philosophical concept of was he alone
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: really well, because you know, that just gets we go
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: way back into.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: Actual Sunday show.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: Anyway, earlier someone asked me about the and Carla mentioned
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: that that Johnny Cash made some uh serious videos towards
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: the end of his life. And the one that I
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: told you that I was crying on was the video hurt.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Right, which was a song that.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Nine Inch Nails.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah I did, yeah, yeah, he at the end of
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: his life, he was you have troubled. He was troubled
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: the end of his life.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was was he Do you think
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: he was troubled as much as realizing maybe what life was.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: I think what happens to to a lot of people
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: is you realize the mistakes you've made at the end
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: some of the time that you've wasted. You're not going
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: to get that time back again. You know, you just
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: reflect same reason why you cry at cartoons.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: Now. Yeah, h did you guys have to do the

  Speaker 3: had done, of course. But then when I ended the talk,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: I ended with the same thing, right. And so my
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: son comes up to me afterwards, Joe and says, you know,
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: that was a perfect speech. She says, it was heartfelt,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: and you opened with a little humor and you ended
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: with a little humor, and I said, well, you know
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: it was really humorous. I didn't mean to do it
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: at the end. No, but see you what just happened
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: because they started to get choked up.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: And I've been in situations like that. We get we
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: you know, in front of people, and you realize it
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: and you've got to turn it into something. Of course,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: being in radio, everything's a bit right. You know. You
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: can when if it's not on purpose, then you act
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: like it was on purpose, or you take the joke
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: and you turn it around, you make it funnier. Yeah,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: but that's good. See they thought, oh, look at you,

• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Now new leaves coming.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Is now they're they're not. I had a lot of
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: late blooms. I've got a lot of hips on the
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: on the on green planet, yeps.
• 1:08:30

• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: I'm admitting to you I didn't do it.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: I'm admitting, well, I'm not going to blame you because
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: I think I've cut back probably eight hundred roses, but
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: I have another eight hundred to go.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: Mike Chrysler Imperial that we got on that road trip
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: is probably about six feet maybe talk. I haven't cut
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: it back ever.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: See, See, there comes a point in time in gardening
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: you have to cut No, you don't have to.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: That's why I don't. I am going against it.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: I know. See there's a there's a point in time
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: when you don't admit these things, and then after a
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: while you've done it long enough, you go, yeah, I
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: didn't do it. I messed up, you know, I didn't
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: feel like it. I want to I wanted to see
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: what happened.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: I'm going to see what happened.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: I want to see what happened. I'm never going to
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: cut back my roses under the same you know, philosophy
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: I am. When someone says those won't grow, there we go.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 4: I bet you see, I'll.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Bet you I can grow it. What about you got
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: about a minute for the break.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 4: Peggy, Peggy mart still still you know it's in a
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 4: tough area. I'm making her.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: Look, are you talking about a bad part of town?
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. But she's doing great, but she doesn't get
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 4: the same care and benefits that some of the other
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 4: plants get.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: And but if you think she can just want to
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: stand anything, well.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: I'm making her live up to her name. I'm you know,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna you know, you don't take
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: a you know, tough old dog and then amper it right.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: But recreating Katrini in your backyard and drowning the roads,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's such a good idea. Hey,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: with that in mind, we are going to take a break.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: One more segment coming up means nothing really to you
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: technically on Facebook live, but on bis talk Radio, one

• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: Bistalk Radio, Facebook Live, Dark America's right. This is what
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: they used to call the epilogue when you watched the
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: shows in the seventies, John Right of Quinn Martin Production,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: whether it was The Fugitive or another TV show, the
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: epilogue the last? Do they call it like in a play?
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Would there be an epilogue in a play? The last Thing?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: I thought it was called the last dat could be
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: last name? But epilogue on TV back? You don't remember that?
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: I might.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: I'm looking for a question from Linnelle.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: I might I feel like it. I'll remember if I feel.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: Like Carla said that her citrus was starting to bloom,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: so she wanted to know if it was too late
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: to trance planet. I'm not sure what she means. Is
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: she going to dig it up from one area and
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: move it or are you going to put it take
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: it from one pot, move it to.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Another pot versus ground?
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Or if you're going to take it from a
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: pot and put into the ground, You're gonna do that,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: no problem. You're gonna take it from one pot, move
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: it to another pot, no problem. You're going to dig
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: it up out of the ground and move it. You're
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 3: getting close but to uh not being able to do it.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: But you know Huntington Beach when if it's important, I
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: would go ahead and do it. I think it would
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: be okay.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: But not a month from now.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm I'm going back. Leonor had a question, and
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: I think this is the one that they're referring to.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: It says, I wanted to ask what could I use
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: to prevent these big insects to eat my citrus flowers?
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: Um, I don't know what that means.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: What's a big insect?
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: Mhm, they're eating the flowers. It was all that is. Sorry,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 4: it's just carl. Carla then wrote, yes, please the Nord's
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: question in mine about mandarin tee.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Well, I think Carlo's question was about the transplanting, right, okay, Mike.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: By the way, Brian says that wasn't a beside an
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: invention filmed in La Joya.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: I feel like I heard that, you know that.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: I never thought of that.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: No, maybe I don't know.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: And by coincidence, I had a rose open up yesterday
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: called La Joya really really a pretty.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Rose, very expensive rose too.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, I put it to a special part of
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: the garden that we don't let other roses, glaren roses
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: get into that area.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: The commoners.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: They have to be special hybrid ties.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: You see that row, but there, what's he doing in
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: this neighborhood?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: So I think we need if leon if you're listening,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: we need talk.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: Leonor is talking about grasshoppers. Okay, and my guests, unless
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: you have another idea, Tiger would be you can't do
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: anything about them except sneak up behind them with pruning
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: shears and cut them in hands.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: Wow, yeah, you know. And besides John suggested the only know,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 4: the only real thing, and people actually do this, Leonora,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: believe it or not. Where they do get plagued with
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 4: a lot of those grasshoppers and other bugs like that
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: is they use a cover. They use a croc a roca,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: a crop cover. It's a usually like a very lightweight
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: white netting material and they cover the whole tree with it.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: It does allow sunlight.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: And air, right, all of that, but it doesn't allow
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: those insects to infilt straight the area, right, And so
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: that is that is really the only thing that you
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: could do.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the sneak crop cover. I'm picturing John,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: you know, do either way.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: The commercial Brian, before I lose my trainsfer the commercial
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: name of that product is remay Okay, yeah, thanks, But
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: sometimes you can also just buy crop covers. I guess
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 3: it's different stores.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: Being as alert danger as most wild animals birds insects are,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: what's the success rate of sneaking up behind a grass?
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: Grasshoppers is so easy to catch?
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: They're stupid? You know, they're so are they? They are?
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: You can catch a grasshoper so easy?
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: Really, don't you remember?
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: I never try to cra your grass.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: I've never snuck up on a grasshopper with pruning shears?
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Am I the only one? I don't know? I don't.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 4: I just feel like they're not very good, very quick,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: not very fast. They are fast and everything, Yeah, they
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 4: are fast, but they just they don't see you coming.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 4: You remember the.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: Story about the ant and the grasshopper going into winter
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: and the ant was industrial made it through the winter,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: and the grasshopper frozen death because it was just stupid.
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: Ye didn't didn't prepare for winter?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: Does it kind of like the three pigs the third
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: pig built his house of bricks?
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you that or they're just very trusting and
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: they don't feel anything as attacking. I trust you. It
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: could be like that. A grasshopper is just like, no,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 4: this guy's not gonna squish me. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 4: grasshoppers are very easy to get, but sometimes they travel
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 4: in numbers.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: They don't even know you did that, you know, when
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: you cut them. I mean they're still trying to fly away.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: There's only half.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: You have a dark side.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is where a lot of those murder Murders
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: podcasts start off.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: Right, That's the only insect I have a problem with
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: in my garden. As matter of fact, not quite but
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: almost plagued with them.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: Really from a biblical biblical.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: Aspect, not that bad, not that bad.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 4: Well, have to do a show warms doing a grasshopper
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 4: and a locust, you know.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: I always wonder do you remember that? No, I'm not
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: ignoring because I'm thinking of John the Baptist, right, who
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: ate locusts and honey in the desert, right, But I'm
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: wondering were the locusts in the grasshoppers that he ate
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: or where the locusts sometimes are referred to the pods
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: on carrab trees, you know, the kind of taste like chocolate.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: I think that there's a reference to those being locusts. Okay,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 3: I could see eating that.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's amazing.
• 1:17:41
