Well, hey, they're boys and girls. Welcome to Garden America.
Gardening lovers. Those who are curious that are just tuning in.
We're off to a later start, but we'll still give
you how many segments one, two, three, four or five, six, seven, eight?
We're hoping for eight eight segments? John, that's that's our hope,
and let's see if we can make that a reality.

(00:20):
You're still with me, right? Hey?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Perfect? We know the audio is working.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Might be a little distorted, maybe slightly. Gonna keep adjusting
those levels.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah, and if the audio does go out during the show,
you guys can just write us and let us know
there is a slight delay that maybe we have to
take an account.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Are you saying to keep those cards and letters coming?

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yes? Exactly?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
All right, so we're bumpy, but here we are audio
and of course they're getting a good the camera for
the next I don't know hour and a half, you're
gonna be looking.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
At what that's all John's corner coopia over there? Do
you have a cornucopia?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
John?

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Do I have one? I think we use one in Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Maybe?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, So you do own a cornucopia like I want to?
Do you own a cornucopia.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
You want just one of those, It's just one of
those basket things.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, but Brian does not own a I do not
own a cornucopia. Well cornas, and I'm fine, not the
least of your worries. Yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Cornas is the Greek word for horn in copia. Copias
is plenty, plenty, So.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
That sounds like if everything's copa setic. Does that any
way relate to what?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't know what you're talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
You, of course you do.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I wonder know how many people own cornucopias, though.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, I don't know in one.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I don't even know what that has to do with anything, guys.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Really, because we were talking about your harvest, so like
I can totally just imagine, like on your kitchen counter
you have a corner copia. Oh okay, and that's where
you put your zuki, put your squash, put your que company,
put your tomatoes, just as you they come out of
your garden.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
I you know, I know you pretty well, but I
can't always read your mind, so I don't know what
you're thinking unless you speak the words as they're appearing
in your mind. They need to come out your mouth.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, you can get a cornucopia Michael's Veronica.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
That's there, you go, there you go. So, Brian, let
Dana know.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Tanya has a corner copia. Yeah, Rick, do you have
a corner copia out there? Because you know, that was
one of those things that probably back growing up, everybody
had because during certain dinners, you know, to dress the table,
make it look nice, you would put you know, a

(03:01):
flower arrangement, you put your nice china out you you
put your cornicopia in there. You know. Do you remember
having the good silverware John, for like Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners,
like the good the good plates, the good silverware.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
You mean growing up?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh yeah, because it all had to be polished.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Oh really yeah yeah, because it was silver, it was
actual silver. Still couldn't just run through the dishwasher like
I do every year.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
No, no, it wasn't stainless steel. They everything would have
to be hanned.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Did you cherish it her? Like cold?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
They used to pass things down, okay, you know, from
one generation to the next.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
A lot of things people used to value are not
valued anymore.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Right.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I'm thinking that dinnerware is one thing. You know, place
settings used to be really expensive and now nobody even wants.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Them, nobody uses them now.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
It used to be, you know, back then Lennox China
was like a hundred bucks of place setting.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Wow, and and.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
That was a lot. Did no one ever had that? Really?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Did you have the full set of silverware with it? Like,
meaning like you know, the salad fork, the dinner fork,
the little spoon, the big spoon or did was it
just a standard set?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Well? We were Italian, so anything that would get food
to your mouth would work.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Was fine.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Okay, so you wore Italian, but you're.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Not now, Yeah, I'm in America.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Did you guys, did you guys eat spaghetti? It's fine?

Speaker 3 (04:39):
I know, but I can't see the comments.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
From oh did you guys? Do you you? Did? You
always use a spoon when eating spaghetti?

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Never? Never?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
No? Why do they always serve that in an Italian restaurant?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Or Dana does when we have pasta, she has a spoon,
she uses it to twirl.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
At every Italian restaurant that you go to, they serve
you a spoon with it.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
No, I could you could? You're talking about using it
as a secondary to right.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, like you take your fork and you use the
spoon to help you get the spaghetti on the fork.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Gets stuck into the spaghetti and you twirl it around.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
That this might offend connoisseurs, but I cut the pasta short.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Oh it doesn't like do you break it when you
put it in the water? Oh yeah, they tell you
nothing exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
But then but then when it's done, I cut it
so you can actually pick it up with a fork
and just eat it. They's small strands.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Yeah, well that doesn't offend anyone except Italians.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
So we're coming in a little hot, so we're going
to bring everyone down a little bit. All right, there
we go.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
So this let's see, Uh it's warm today in the
England areas, and then and then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Looking
at one hundred degree temperatures, it's just.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
What did it hit one hundred triple digits at your
place yet?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Once?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Once? And now it's going to do it again. And
it's just you know, it makes it a little tougher
to get through any trials.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
You no, because yeah, whatever you're doing, yeah, you're hot,
you're grumpy. Yeah, it's grumpy weather.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
It is grumpy weather.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's funny how you can just walk outside and just
have a bad attitude, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yeah, Like you.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Start off the day just fine, and then the minute
you open the door and you feel that hot, sticky weather,
you're just like.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I opened the front door yesterday and it was like
walking into an oven. Yeah, and I just turned around
went back inside.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
You know, we have our air conditioning set to seventy four.
But if it's a hundred outside and you walk in
the house and it's seventy four, it's almost thirty degrees cooler, right,
So I mean you walk in and got to put
on a jacket or a long sleeve shirt or something.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
You have your little you know, when you walk in
someone's house and have their coats hanging up as you
come in the door, that's because you have to put
it on when you walk in the house, not not
because you're taking it off right as you're like right.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
You know. So we went up until about two or
three weeks ago it was a nice summer, rather mild warm,
and now here we are first of September and we're dying.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
We're dying well, and this isn't even the Santa Ana weather.
You know, here in southern California, Santa Anna's come in
usually the early ones, the end of September, and then
you're looking at October November before you have the really
hot temperatures.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
All right, I'm sure you'll probably turn it off again,
but your comments are now there.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
All right, thank you, Tiger. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Okay, so there we go. We are seven minutes and
twenty four seconds into the first segment. All right, so
you're keeping keeping watch, keeping track.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
And I think we could try to bring head on.
But his phone number is on my phone. I gave
it to you last week. If you keep track of
those things.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
You you want to ed when today?

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, I we didn't know about that, no, I know,
but this is a surprise.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
A surprise.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Rochelle says she can only see Tiger.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
And only see Yeah. That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
I know.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
And and I think that's she's lucky.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, because I'm not even on there.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, well, well that the yeah, a little peek behind
the the curtain. The cameras would not hook up to
the audio today, so it's pretty much just audio utilizing
Tiger's phone. Well, you should be seeing the the the.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
The lemon, ken, the zucchini.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
You know, I've never I've never grown lemon cucumbers before,
have you. I've been sorry. They're not lemon cucum. They're
not a lemon squash.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Lemon squash, yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
And I've never grown them before.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
And I have not. I have not.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
They're a if anybody ever wants to try those, I
know Baker Creek has the seeds, So if you go
search for Baker Creek or Google. I think their website
is Rare seeds dot com.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think so too.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
But they're called lemon squash because they look like a lemon, right.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, I was gonna ask do they have a lemon flavor?

Speaker 3 (09:37):
No, but they have a very sweet flavor. Sweet, So
it's a summer squash. It's like a sweeter version of
summer squash, like yellow crookneck, a little sweeter version of that.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Because a lemon cucumber looks yellow, but it also has
a little bit of a does a lemon lemon flavor?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Right?

Speaker 3 (09:56):
It does have a little little different flavor.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah. So you know, sometimes you wonder why things are called,
whether it's the flavor or just because they look, you know,
like something.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Or both or both is in the case of lemons.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Yeah, or you know that we talked about the pink lemonade.
Lemon You know, it's a lemon and it's pink, so
it makes sense that it's pink lemonade.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Right, because which was the name I made?

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Which was because John is so astute with how he
can perceive things and see a pink.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Actually, Bill Nelson that came up with the name first,
but I trademarked it.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
What did he call it before?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Pink lemonade?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
No, but there was a name on it.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Well, the.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
It actually came out around nineteen forty if I'm not mistaken,
and it was called variegated pink Eureka.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
See, there's nothing obviously that was a that was a
plant person or a botanist. It was not a marketer.

Speaker 1 (10:57):

Brian Maine, John Begnasco, Tiger Pelafox back after these messages
on Bistalk Radio. Welcome back from that break here on
Bistalk Radio Facebook Live. I'm Brian Maine, Tiger Palafox, John Begnasco.
Yet his garden, America. As we wow here in southern California,
we had the middle of summer. Although it's actually how

(11:38):
long till fall, John? A month or so, We're still
we're still in the summer, but we should be winding down.
It seems like, no.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Didn't we already have the autumnal equinox.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
We did. I Yeah, but well that's the start of fall.
But it does it feels anything not? For that's my point.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
You know, there's they there's the official.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Light starting a fall, and then when it really kicks
in here in southern California, so we could be in
for two of the hottest months of the year.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
Now, did you have any rain this week?

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yes, all day.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
But it wasn't as much as I thought it was.
It didn't pour, No, it.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Was just a nice constant and it was all day long.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
It was like being in any tropical place, use Hawaii
as an example.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, you know what's funny you mentioned that.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
And it's you don't mind it. There's a little way when.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
You're working though, right you don't have a my taie
in your hand.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
You know, it was hot yesterday, but last night I
went out front and there was a breeze coming through
and I told my wife, I said, you know, it's
like we're sitting by the pool in Hawaii. If you
walk out the front floor, it was the same feel.
The humid, a little bit of humid in the air,
but good humidity with the breeze blowing.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
In a beautiful sunset. Did you see the sunset yesterday?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I did not see the sunset gorgeous. It was overcast.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
That's why it was gorgeous. It had that like you know,
good hue, you know, spotty kind of like you know,
so to you more clear sky sunsetting, that's your beautiful sunset.
See I need more, I need more. I need some.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Clouds with your sunsets.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
My best sunsets, the one where you know when the
rays come through the clouds as it's setting.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh, where you put a uh you put an inspirational
quote on exactly. I know what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
See, that's my beautiful sunset, you know, you know. And
it's funny because being a surfer from San Diego, people
think like, oh, would you want a house on the
beach you just look out over the water? Eh, you
know that's that's not my what I want, like what
you have, or like you know, a valley with mountains

(13:45):
and stuff like that, or like even like overlooking a city.
I love that view, you know, kind of a thing
where I'm seeing something not just water or you know
at night they just see blackness.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
I don't know if I like cities and my sunsets.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
No, well, I'm just talking about my view, like for
my house, like cities, in my view, you just want mountains,
right would you like water though? Just water? You know
what I mean? Like if people live on the water, right, yeah,
you would like that.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's a nice view. Just my brother lives in Michigan
and on Torch Lake, and uh, he's got property that
goes right down to the lake. But as you go
up to his house, it's it's on a little hill,
so you look from there out over the lake and
that's a great view just water.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, all the way across. Can you at Torch Lake?
Can you see all the way across or no, is
it too big?

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I don't think you can see all the way across.
Close you can see the sides for sure. Yeah, Torch
Lake was in a song. The not the word torch Lake,
but the there's a sandbar in Torch Lake and I'm
trying to think.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Down in Chattahoochee. No, no, no, So was it in
a video? Was it in a video?

Speaker 3 (15:09):
I think a kid Rock song? Yeah, I'm not sure. Well,
Kid Rock lives on on Torch Lakes, so it might
have been one of his songs. And it's something about
doing something in the summer.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
And meeting at the sandbar. Yeah, yeah, I think I
know what song. I think I don't know it, but yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Not coming to mind. But but that's it.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
But I'm looking for a sunset on my phone that
we took in Hawaiian Uh huh. You know at the
end of the day when you watch it and then
there's like this blue light.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Or the green flash.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
The green flash green flash which we got on video
with the still shot is just amazing. It looks fake.

Speaker 3 (15:45):
There were some great sunsets when we were in Costa Rica.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh yeah, right, I.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Liked those kinds of sunsets.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I like the one when we were in that
cove at the end and we had that pool that
overlooked Oh yeah, there you go. Look at that. See
it's got clouds. I like it.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
You so you need accents with your sons.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
Need put your phone over here in front of this
one and then you can see your son stay.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
So these are Brian sunset years.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
You know, since we I know it's hard for our
listeners to believe we might be having technical problems showing
since we we do. You know, if you want the
show to go in any direction, please, you know, send
us comments. Tiger's going to fix my phone so I
can see current comments.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yep, constantly. Do you have do you do you have
the quote of the week? Because I liked it this week.
I don't always like your quotes of the week, really,
but I did like it this week.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
I should run them by you before I know.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Don't you That was a good quote. It touched the
soul really.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Yeah, you know I've been doing.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Give a view of God's creation anything but buildings and
telephone wires. That's from Carla. She likes your view too,
not my view.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
All right, I'm going to go to.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Quote of the week. Remember when Brian used to play
little like jingles for us when we would have spots
and stuff face facebo.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
You know you know what that was before? Because you
know how now you can before the Wild Wild West,
Well you can make those little shorts on Facebook and
they have all the music, which apparently is somewhat licensed.
That was before Facebook would allow anybody to play any
licensed music.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know what.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
The quote of the week really intrigued me because it
was from William Cooper.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, and I want to learn more about William Cooper.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Because William Cooper. I'll give you the quote and then
you tell me if you don't know William Cooper when
you think this was written?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Was William D. B. Cooper?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Completely different Cooper, This one spelled cowper co O w
P e R, but pronounced Cooper.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
That's silly.

Speaker 3 (18:04):
He said that gardening is a kind of disease, a chronic,
incurable affliction, and when it's not kept in not kept
in check, it shows itself in compulsive plant buying, which
I think is true for a lot of us. Oh yeah,
so when do you think he wrote that?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, I don't know when he lived, well.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
I know that's it, but you're you know, you're talking
about one plant.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
He lived in a generation where they bought plants, So
you know, you can't be too old back back in
you know, if he was too old they didn't buy it.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Could be gen Z.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
He could be gen Z.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
So just from the quote, yes, you know, this isn't
a gotcha like you know.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
What is yours?

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I'm going to say, nineteen fifty.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Seventeen ninety what buy you know.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
What Tiger threw me off with? Not buying plants? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, William Cooper was a writer, a poet, I think
a little bit of a philosopher. But way back then,
either that or or somebody found somewhere to sell plants
Facebook marketplace, Yes.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Anyway, I teen hundreds, Yeah, late seventeen they were suffering
with plant purchase.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
That's that's about what twenty years after the declaration of independence?
Roughly thirty years.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Roughly that time period. I mean, somebody can look up
William Cooper, google him and find out that I'm completely wrong,
but I think I'm somewhat in the in the right generation.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
That's funny, you know what they'll be that is a
common thread of you know, the writers and talk people
that talk about plants, is that it becomes that like
addiction to go in, just keep getting more.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
We're going to take a break to stay on track
on BIS talk Radio. Questions, comments, Facebook Live. Let us know.
We are going to take a break, coming right back.
Do stay with us. Thank you Bistalk Radio, thank you
Facebook Live. It's a great audio show. It's Garden America.
All right, welcome back to Garden America. John had mentioned
earlier that boy, this is kind of a free form
podcast radio show. Whatever instruction you want to take, questions,

(20:22):
comments that we can do questions, comments, doesn't matter where
the camera is. We can still answer your concerns. And
getting back to the quote about the compulsiveness of plant buying,
that's very easy to fall into.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Do you know you guys, last time you were at
my house, if you pulled up the driveway, you saw
that there's kind of a succulent dry plant area on
the right of the driveway as.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
You call drift in there.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Right and it's pretty much finished. I went with my
daughter to Oasis Water ef Fishing Garden and Escondido, came
back with a trunkload of of succulents and cactus that
are I guess going to be planted in that area.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Did you get any mangavis?

Speaker 1 (21:13):
I did?

Speaker 3 (21:13):
I did not get a man coffee?

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Amazing?

Speaker 3 (21:17):
You know, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I can't believe that you wouldn't get one.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Think about it that you were.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Aginary cross guy, you masqueraded as one for years.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Do you like Do you like ligers?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Oh? Exactly one of my absolutely, who doesn't.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
See I don't like ligers, which is a cross between
a lion and a tiger. Right, they're big, they are big,
but that's that's what a mangavi is, right.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, and agave and a man man Yeah, Freda, Yep,
it's all right. Not everybody can be perfect.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
John, No, no matter how many times we tell ourselves,
can you find the show?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Oh my god, goodness?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Great?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Well, Tiger. You don't have the comments in, right, Tiger
because your phone is over here?

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, I don't, but we do.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
We're going to rely on you, John.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
This is a big responsibility reliance. John.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
A little bit off the topic. I'm not sure what
the topic is, but a little bit off.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (22:21):
During the break we were I'll bring this up to
our listeners who get the newsletter. During the break, we
were talking about about AI and how some of the
pictures I use in the newsletter for the did you
Know or the article sections I have been created with AI.
And I wrote in a little did you Know article

(22:43):
about the first Labor Day parades, and there's a picture
there that shows a Labor Day parade, and if you
enlarge that on your phone, you'll notice that no one
in the parade has a face because the picture was
generated by all.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Those people were known as the faceless minority. It was
back on how many couple hundred years the faceless Minority
fens the FNS and I you told me it stood
for awesome individual. I applied it to you and you said, yes,
I may I I'm an awesome individual. I'll be doing Tiger.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Great. I'm reading comments.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Sorry, okay, distract, go ahead and read something to Kevin.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Was talking about, you know, like our shock that there
were nurses in the seventeen hundreds. And then Carla reminded
us of the tulip craze of the sixteen hundreds. Was
that when they were trade using tulips as money. Yes,
you mentioned that. I don't know if that was that
time frame, right, It was in that time where they
tulips were like cash. They were valued as well.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
They weren't used as cash, but they could be traded, traded,
like you.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Said, Kevin mentioned he was surprised they were nurserries. He's
back in the seventeen hundreds. We didn't necessarily say there
was We just talked about selling or buying plants, which
could be from an individual. Right, well, it could be.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
It's just like where did you do you even think
about going somewhere to buy plants? And right early eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Lisa said that she had heard before that onions were
a hot barter item for a while.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
So wait, yeah, I remember Napoleon complaining like how was
he supposed to march his his his army without onions?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Do you know Napoleon never started a war?

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Oh yeah, is that true?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Weird fact? Yeah, I learned it this week that he's
never started a war.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
He just didn't discourage anybody from creating chaos.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
So you're not going to give it to me with
comments I did.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Why did you erase it right away?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Again? What are you doing? Don't you know? You tell
a kid, don't touch that.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah, don't touch the and they touch it exactly.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
This has to be one of the more compelling shows
in the twenty some odd years that we've done.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I have some news. I started to say that on
a completely different topic, and then it popped into my mind.
I don't even know what the topic is, so I
guess it could go along with the follow of the show.
But I did finish my book this last week. With
all the heat, you just can't go outside and work.
So I you know, my daughter and grandchildren are visiting

(25:34):
from Idaho, but we did go. We have breaks as
they're visiting friends too, So all the hot weather, I
spent indoors writing in the library, in the library, day
after day after day.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
That has to really account for a good atmosphere to
write a book, right.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
We know it's my first first fiction book. You know,
I've written some plant books, but I've never written a novel.
And this is a thriller. And it's been a whole
new learning experience and it's been fun. It's been.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
First.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
I had to learn how to write dialogue, because that's
what moves the book along, and when you first write it,
it's not natural and sounds stilted.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
So hey, Hi, how are you? Where did you go
to the store?

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Something like that, not too far off. And then as
I got used to writing the dialogue, it came easier.
But then I was telling you that I began using
a lot of purple prose and just in Bellish, too
many similes and metaphors. So in some of my first
chapters I've rewritten them like eight or nine times.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
You know, it's funny you mentioned that. When I was
in college, my older half brother sent me at thesaurus
is this gonna tell you what John said? So I'm like,
I'm gonna right letters to people and sound smart.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
So I started doing the same thing. John got wrapped
up in with his book where you it just gets
after a while like stop it. Yeah, just you know
one or two. But don't you know what was the
analogy you used about the air conditioner?

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh, I said the internet. It was like in an
old hotale. And I said, it rattled like it was
chewing Nichols.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Which much as like if you were doing like a
like a private investigator or some kind of cop thing,
and and it like a bunch of Nichols.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, it sounded like a Mickey Old Mickey Spallain novel.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Wow, why'd you make that full down?

Speaker 3 (27:36):
It just jumped?

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Does that just like a little earthquake shake of that?

Speaker 3 (27:40):
Just jump?

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I'll see what that looks like.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
Joyce Tiger wants to know where in the San Fernando
Valley can she get an apricot tree?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Where?

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Yeah, where are one that's going to do well? San
Fernando Valley. Trying to think, is that is that Resita?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Yep?

Speaker 3 (28:05):
That type that is so it's hot?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Ah, but do they have chill hours? That's the main thing.
I think so if it's chill hours, then you can
probably get any variety if there's enough chill hours that
The main ones used in California.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Are royal royal more part of the one more part.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah. San Gabriel Nursery should be a good place to
get that in Resita in San Gabriel, in San Gabriel,
far from Mersida.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
I don't know. That's I don't know where it's hot.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
San Fernando Valley, San Gabriel Valley two places you do
not want to be. There's time of year years.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Who was it that has that?

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Who's our buddy that used to lived in that we
to hear from John where he would call and say,
the thing is everything just growing out of control.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Steve and see me Valley.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
He couldn't grow anything wrong?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
You could? Yeah, what do I do to stop this
from growing? Any trees are out of control? And the
roses there are too many blooms? What do I do?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Last time I heard from Steve, he sent me a
picture of a bunch of uh I can't remember which rose,
but he had planted a bunch of roses from seed
nice and they had all come up.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Of course, because he has nothing that fails, just grows
and grows and grows.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Tanya up in San Jose said that she's got a
great day up there. That a skunk dug a den
again under her shed. So what they did was they
used a camera, waited till the skunk left, and then
blocked the entrance.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Came home. Can you imagine you come home day, he's
locked up your house. Come on, it's just here yesterday.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's messing with mother nature.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
You know. I'm Tonya mentioned because I have you know
the pebble garden I showed you. Yeah, yeah, the living stones.
There's a lot of different species, but one is lithops,
and and I was surprised. You know, Tanya says that
its fall. According you were asking if it's fall, Brian,

(30:32):
she said her lithops are blooming now and they bloom
in the fall.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Just in time for this break, just in time for the.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Break, right. But anyway, I'll tell you about I bought
some of those.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Beautiful BIS Talk Radio Facebook Live Garden America back after
these messages. Okay, that was an exciting break. We are
back in studio Garden America. And this, by the way,
if you're tuned in on BIS Talk Radio, was Tiger
and I discussed during the break. This is the final
segment of hour one news coming up top of the
hour means nothing to those on Facebook Live, just a
lot of good information and comments as John that does

(31:02):
his best to keep up on these questions and comments.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
You were just talking about before the ray, John.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Oh yeah, I told you I bought a bunch of
cactus and succulents and the I bought more living stones. No, no,
they were still alive. I just just wanted more in
that area to make it a little more interesting. And
I've also bought something I've.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Wanted, foddered them and then they died.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
I did not water them this time, but no, you.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Were talking about I think last show.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
I watered them in the middle of the summer when
I should not have. They died and they didn't all die.
But you know, the way they grow is they split, right,
and one of the one or two of each of
a clump rotted.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
But the clumps, the plump managed so far, and so
now they're coming back. And you wanted some more, now,
got it right?

Speaker 3 (31:58):
And then I've always liked golden barrel. Right, so I
have a golden barrel. But one thing I've wanted to
also have, and I haven't had one for many years,
was a white golden barrel.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
What is a white golden barrel?

Speaker 3 (32:14):
Well, it's an oxymoron, for one, but it's a it's
a golden barrel. That is that species he kind of
cactus grusonia. But the spines are white rather than gold.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
Rather than yellow. Yeah, gold, So same shape, everything else,
you know, all of that, but the spines are white.
It does it? Does it grow smaller or anything different?
Or is it just that the spines are white, Because

(32:49):
you know, sometimes when there's a change in that, the
plant will grow more compact with.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Variegated plants, it grows slower. Somebody know how much. I
don't think there's any photosynthesis, and that takes the cacti.
I could be wrong, are you?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Do you have a golden barrel in that bed as well? Yes,
so now you have a white and a gold and
you're gonna make them battle over who is more superior
in this area.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
No, I did give the white one a place of
honor the right in front of a stump.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Did you now this slope that you have planted with
your succulents and cactus is very hard to write? If
I remember correctly, the soil was very hard or no?

Speaker 3 (33:45):
Yeah, I would say that half of everything in their
head to be planted with a jack camera.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Did you put any cactus mix or anything in there?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Nothing?

Speaker 2 (33:55):
You just planted him. You dug a kind of you you.
Let's just say you carved out.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
A hole jackhamer of your your solid.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Bedrock there and just at you planted him in that?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Right?

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Okay, and everything is done well. The only thing that's
been struggling is the the ice ice cream bean tree.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Mmm? I remember that one? You showed it to me?

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yeah? Yeah, okay, And I don't. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Yeah, well, hey, but but you did.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
But I do have the bubblegum tree. Uh, probably ten
feet from that. Yeah, that's too fine. Yeah, you like,
didn't I give you a bubblegum tree.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
You did, and it's planted and growing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
And it's you know, it's one of those things that
I knew when I planted it. I was like, I
might regret this, and and I no, it's not. No,

(35:02):
but it's I planted it right along where I'm putting
a path, and that path is yet to be installed yet,
So I think it's perfect where it's at. But I
might regret it, but I if I can keep it
where it's at, I love it because I want it

(35:22):
to be right along this path that goes around the
side of our poolhouse, and I want it to almost
cover the entrance to the path because I think, like
you say, it's not a big tree, so I think
it would just appropriately block the entrance. But without the
path being there, I don't know if I planted it
far enough away from where I want the path to be,

(35:43):
so we'll see. But I figured I could always dig
it up and move it.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
You know, being your age, you have a lot of
advantages that older people don't have.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, to see things come to fruition when they finish growing.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
But older people have a lot of advantages younger people
don't have. And I was just thinking that there's very
few things that I'm going to plant now that I'll
regret planning.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Is that like when you get to the stage of
your life and you buy a pet, dog, cat, whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
You think, I'm gonna live it.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
The pet might outlive me.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Is that pet who's gonna go first?

Speaker 2 (36:23):
And that's for everyone. Even if you bought a one
of those giant tortoises as a baby, it would still
outlive you.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
The tortoise.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
There was a tortoise that have a name that lived
to be almost two hundred years ago.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, but I think the gal the giant.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, they had it at the San Diego Zoo for
a while there, like they had like the oldest.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
When you were a kid. They're still letting tortoises now,
they're like, you know, they probably shouldn't do that. They
don't like it. You know, people are under the false
assumption that when you rub a tortoise shell. They can't
feel it, and they do. Absolutely, It's like their ribcake.
They feel the slightest touch on his tortoiseshell. They feel it.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah. They say not to paint it too, because it
is like their skin.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
And I remember as a kid going to the fair
and you get the turtles and the painted you know, red
blue killed him right, Yeah, because they can't breathe.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I remember that saying you shouldn't be riding the tortoises
and you said, if they don't like it, they'll just
run away.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Yeah did I When did I say that?

Speaker 3 (37:31):
I just made that up. I don't think I'm getting
new comments.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Let's see this is the newest. Yeah, there we go, Okay,
most relevant, newest. Let's see here. I got a white
golden barrel baby when at the convention in Sandy in April. Tanya,
let's see who can grow up better? Tanya, send some pictures.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
You know what else?

Speaker 3 (37:58):
I that was called the it's it's not a cactus,
it's a euphorbia, but it's called spiral cactus.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
I want. I've tried that three or four times. That
is that is my nemesis of a plant that I
want and I have not been able to grow.

Speaker 3 (38:17):
Why do you think I haven't planted mine yet? I'm
kind of curious.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
I was told they don't grow here because.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
We have to take a break. You want to think
about it? Yeah, okay, top of the hour news break
for Bistalk Radio. Then we come back at six minutes
after if your market carries hour two on Bistalk Radio.
And if you're still here, we're just getting warmed up.
We're just getting warmed up. Facebook Live, Bistok Radio. Guard
in America back after the news on Bistok Radio and
some very interesting messages from our sponsors. Stay with us.

Speaker 3 (38:50):
Yeah, you can read how about that gang?

Speaker 1 (38:51):
We are back. That's what standby means, that means quite
on the set s.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
How come you've never told me that?

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Did you know this?

Speaker 1 (39:01):
John Guard America is back, by the way, just to
re establish Welcome to our two BIS talk radio.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Thank you boy.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
That look he just gave me there was daggers.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
It's been a rough morning, uh, Tanya says. Be sure
for the blythops, be sure to learn their annual watering schedule.
Do not water them at all when they're splitting. I
didn't I didn't know that. So if you're seeing them
start their division.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Just naturally think that if they're splitting their growing, so
go ahead and water.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I would think like you would want to be on
a schedule and just water them, you know, once a
month or whatever you whatever your schedule would be, and
just never to stop.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Do they live in an area that gets water time schedule?
I know, but I mean, I mean there's California don
dry period.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, California Natives don't live in an area where they
get water on schedule. But if you watered them once
a month, it's not going to hurt it, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
But now that you bring that up, my nemesis is
the Matila hopos.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yes, you've talked about that.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
One yea three three dead?

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (40:16):
What are you doing wrong?

Speaker 3 (40:19):
I don't know?

Speaker 2 (40:20):
You know what? Have you tried this? Have you tried
planting it in let's say January, just soak it and
then don't ever touch it again.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
Have you tried tried planting it in pure sand?

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Well? No, but I mean in January, water it and
then don't ever water it or touch it again.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
I've only tried three, so that leaves nine other months.
I don't know, if January was one of those, I
could try it.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Have you ever tried to grow something that didn't work?

Speaker 3 (40:53):
And so maybe if you give me one for Christmas? Yeah,
I'll remember the plant.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
Have you ever tried to grow something to what you did?
You followed all the right either direction or guidelines, and
it didn't work. So you said I'm going to do
the exact opposite, and it worked. I'm dealing like George Costanza.
If everything you think is right, maybe the opposite is better.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
I'm dealing with the hydrangea in my front yard. Perfect spot,
it scott shade, it's goot water. It's growing terribly, and
it's just growing terribly.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
I can admit it. Sometimes I hold back and John
knows it if something dies. So hydrangea by our front door,
partial sun shade.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Your front door should be perfect, right in a pot.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
For the last five months. I just now got just
an inkling of a bloom.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
But what about the growth like foliage? Yeah, finds great,
looks terrible. No, the foliage is fine, it's really no blooms.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
No blooms.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Well, I think you I think you mentioned that that's
bloom before though, right, yes, And I think you mentioned
you cut it back too late or too early. Remember,
because you cut off I said, you know, well you're
cutting off all the wood that's going to bloom.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Right.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
It used to be that.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah, that's it. You got you nailed it.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Yeah that we had the once blooming hydranges. Now there's
endless summer, repeat blooming hydranges, and that's different. But yeah,
if you cut the old hydrange is the wrong time.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
So how old is your hydrange? Tiger?

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Three years old?

Speaker 1 (42:26):
And it just for no reason, everything's the same.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, nothing, It's terrible. I'm I'm now I'm letting it
be there and look bad, just by spie. Yeah, because
I'm not going to give it the pleasure of taking
it out.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Remember all the hydrangers we saw on coast a weekend
full sun, they were just frying. Yeah, it's like, wow,
they're just like cooking.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
Oh. Carla finally got a fig tree. Ended up with
little Miss Figgie because it was at the o C
Fair plant on sale for only ten dollars. A nice
little tree, it had a fig on it and it
was the one with the best things that one of
the best things I've ever tasted. Have you had little
Miss Figgi?

Speaker 1 (43:06):
No?

Speaker 3 (43:07):
There's uh, there's quite a few new dwarf figs though, right,
there's that one, and there's the other one is fig
not phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
And then there was something some play on like a
black jack. I can't remember what it.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Was, you know, it's funny. Uh, the first dwarf fig
was called black jack, right, the first dwarf? Yeah? Okay,
And do you know how tall it gets? Just what
would you guess that a dwarf fig would get eight
feet twenty and it considered a dwarf, considered a dwarf.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
But what it would do?

Speaker 3 (43:40):
It grew fast up to twenty feet and stopped.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
So that was we call them little figs.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Now, yeah, little figs, little figs.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Well now they have midget figs.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
They do.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
Hey, you might be able to answer there, because I
thought you looked for this before from from Lilah. Where
can I get a Bracy kite in discolor? Didn't you
find one of those? Weren't you looking for one?

Speaker 1 (44:10):
No?

Speaker 3 (44:10):
I was looking for Bracia kite and Rupesta isn't disc color?
Just the common one, yeah, just the bottle tree. Yeah,
anyone you would have those one, don't you.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
I don't know if we would have them. Now we've
shrunk down our tree selection.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
But do you have a little miss Figgy, I think
we do.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Shrug, Little Figgy went to the market.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
You should only have dwarf trees at Mission Hill's nursery.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
But yeah, I mean, you know that should be available
out there, and I mean Walter and Poway or.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Yeah, I would think Walter Anderson's would have a Treasure
or Green Thumb nursery.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
As a matter of fact, I think I saw them
at Green Thumb Nursery in San Marcos.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
I was gonna say San Marcos. Yeah, so that's closest one.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
I think that's my wife's favorite nursery right now. Do
you know what why? Well, first of all, it's close
close by, so we can drive there, you know, within
thirty minutes. But they have those carts like they have
in the shopping if you go to a supermarket, and
she can sit on one of those, because it's a huge

(45:20):
nursery and it's got a big basket in the front,
so she can drive it around the nursery, cover the
entire nursery and just keep putting things in the basket.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
So like one of those like Rascal Scooter carts. Is
that what they're called, the ones that are motorized. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
I don't know if it beeps when you back it up,
but it's one of those those kind of things.

Speaker 2 (45:45):
Now, it's funny because where you live you have some
really cool nurseries. I wouldn't say they're always the most friendly,
you know, because usually they're plant collectors, like people that
I specialize in in this one plant and I'm gonna
make it another.

Speaker 3 (46:03):
If you talk their language, they want to Yeah, I
talk to you like we went to what was the
Jungle Jacks, and you know, if you want to buy plumeria,
that's what got to be one of the best places
in the county for plumeria, right, sure, and speak their language, Well,
you have to kind of pretend you know something about plumeria,

(46:27):
like if you're if you're a newbie, they kind of content.
I think what Tiger's talking about not quite not quite condescending,
but you can tell that you get the eye roll.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Well, I will give here's the one. Here's the one
piece of advice I will give to anyone going into
any nursery. Okay, unlike any other store that's out there,
I really don't know another store that this happens at,
But every day somebody walks into that retail nursery and

(47:01):
ask the same question as someone has the day before.
Meaning there's not a lot of places that you go
to in the world that they ask, why did this
plant die? What's this bug? What is this flower? Whatever
this is? And it's the same question that somebody had
the day prior, because it's always a repeat or an

(47:21):
hour or an hour prior, and a nursery man has
to stand there or nursery person has to stand there
and say, oh, you know what I mean, you overwatered it,
you underwatered it. These are aphids, that's a jack aranda,
And they do it over and over and over, and.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Or they don't bring anything in and they say, I
have a plan at home and the leaves are turning
brown with yes.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
And we get it. We want to help you, but
it is difficult sometimes and as we just mentioned, sometimes
on a hot day and you're just done, when somebody
comes in and asks you that question, you get the
eye roll, and you get the a little bit of
like attitude with.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
You know, I like where target would he had he
had a standard pat answer for this, and you would say,
perhaps you shouldn't be in charge of things that live.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Well, I understand what he's saying. Like, when you go
in a supermarket, it might be the tenth time somebody
has asked you where the milk is? Yeah, but at
least you're in air condition.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Yeah, and you're not.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
You're supposed to point people that that is really part of.

Speaker 3 (48:26):
Your job and you're not moving heavy things.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
Yeah, and nobody questions you, like, no, that's not where
the milk is.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
See.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
That's the thing that happens in a nursery too, is
somebody says, oh, you know, it looks like you overwatered it,
and they're like, no, no, no, I watered it today. Okay, fine,
I'm wrong. I mean, what do you want me to
tell you? I'm giving you in my advice, I'm giving
you my knowledge.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
But you know what's interesting is they ask a general question,
we're going to take a break, is I I want to?
I want to. I want to tackle this break and
I think you'll agree with me. Okay, a BIS talk
radio Facebook Live guard in America back after these messages.
Stay with us. It only gets better. Gang as promised,
we are back after the break, and just prior to
the break, we were talking about how people come to
nurseries and why did my plant die? Okay, very generic question.

(49:13):
In order Tiger and John to answer these questions, I
would imagine you have a few questions yourself. Where is
it planted? How much sun is it getting? How do
you water it? The doctor right, So you need to
know that before you get eve And even the answer
may not be the correct answer, but you need more
than just yeah, I watered it yesterday and it still died.

Speaker 3 (49:38):
Well the Tiger didn't say it, but you'll say it.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
No.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
But what I'll say is that one thing that nursery
people really resent, and I guess it's just accepted now,
but people bringing back plants and wantingham replaced. Yeah, I
think everybody guarantees plants now. I don't know, do you guys?

Speaker 2 (50:00):
We do?

Speaker 1 (50:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (50:01):
And you know, can you imagine going to a supermarket
and saying, I bought this stuff to make dinner and
my husband didn't like it, so I want my money back?

Speaker 2 (50:11):
Yeah or no?

Speaker 1 (50:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (50:13):
No, Like it would be like, hey, I bought this
head of lettuce to make a salad. I didn't use it,
and now the head of lettuce is like just broken
down and mushi, Right, Can I get a new one? No?
Just because you didn't use it doesn't mean that I
get to you get to have a new one.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
But here's the difference. You buy that plant, whatever, you're
in charge of it now, it is your responsibility to
keep it alive, even doing the most basic things.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
It's like a puppy if you don't feed it and
it dies back.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
The pet store and say I want a refund.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
No, And I mean I just trying to hopefully paint
a picture for our listeners and for people out there
that when they walk into a nursery and they're dealing
with one of the you know people there that to
understand that that you know, you have to you know,
and don't get me wrong, like, hey, we are in
retail business. I want my staff to be as friendly

(51:12):
and approachable as possible.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
As they have a thousand of the places to go.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Yes, exactly, so we do have to do this. But
also understand as a consumer that you do have your
responsibility to be like, Okay, listen to them and acknowledge
their you know, experience and knowledge they're giving you because
and I'm not saying this because I feel we need
I tips in the world are for things that I

(51:39):
feel people go above and beyond for. I feel like
they shouldn't just be assumed or given.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
You know what that stands for?

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Yeah, okay, Like, so I love the idea of a tip, right,
like if somebody is doing a great job, and I
find it so mind blowing right nowadays in the world
that we live in that there's a tip, there's a
tip jar for everything that people do. And it's like
what you just said, it's assumed and expected. But somebody
will come into a nursery and they will talk to

(52:07):
a nursery person for an hour for advice, for knowledge
for what they should do. They will help them pot
a plant in a pot that they, you know, brought
into the store, and do all this stuff and then
they will pay for it and they will walk away
and they will never hand that person any tip whatsoever.
But meanwhile, that person did so much more than your

(52:29):
sandwich maker or your you know, barista, or your even
your waiters sometimes and but those people will get a
tip for what they do. And I'm just like, see,
that's where like people need to recognize, Like when you
go into a cheese shop and you ask for their
advice on cheese or beef. You know, if you go
to a butcher, there's knowledge and there's information that that

(52:50):
person has developed over years that they're sharing with you
that you can't get anywhere else. And you know, and
so you know, at least treat them with a bit
of more, you know.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
But you know, I is your fault, Tiger, because when
you go to the register, you don't have the percentage
to if you are right now, you don't need the charge.
It's done. When you go to make the charge, you
have to click off if you And I'm gonna put
it like.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Like the old don't pay me for what I do,
pay me for what I know. Yeah?

Speaker 3 (53:23):
Yeah is good, isn't it, Tiger? Yeah, it's kind of cathartic.
Don't you feel good?

Speaker 2 (53:28):
I do feel I feel good. Sorry, sorry to unleash
it on everyone right now. But but we brought up
why why you know those nurseries in Fallbrook or wherever
that especially nurseries. You walk in there and sometimes those
people are a little grumpy. They're very specialized playing people
they love and they have a passion. And if you say,
if you walk in there with respect, and you say,

(53:49):
I have the respect and I love for what you
do too. Can we talk about it? They will gladly.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
It's like it's like going to another country and doing
your best to speak their language, and wow, things change
to help you.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
I think I might have told this story on the
radio before. But in the early days of my career,
I was working retail garden centers, and as a matter
of fact, the first store that I managed in California
was a nursery land in Escondido, And actually Tiger's dad

(54:24):
was my boss. He was a district manager then. But
I had an assistant manager that they brought over who
had a PhD in agronomy and plant genetics, and he
was from Iran, from Pavley University in Iran. It's where
he had the degree. And it was just like the
nicest guy, but he did not understand the concept of

(54:47):
guaranteeing plants. Oh yeah, So back then Boston, ferns were
for the thing everybody wound up Boston.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Nobody could grow. It was so tough.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
Yeah, they needed a lot of light, but everybody thought,
ferns will grow anywhere in.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
My living look as good as the day you bring
it home.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
So you know in nursery Land guaranteed their plants back then,
and I tried to tell them how the guarantee worked
and that he had to be nice to people when
they came in. And he got into almost an argument
with somebody not wanting to return their plant that it died,

(55:30):
and I had to get in the middle of it.
And the customer went away and they were happy. And
then I brought his name was already. I brought him
into the office and I said, already, look at it.
I'm not going to tell you this again, but if
somebody comes in with a plant, we guarantee plants, and
you whether he goes, but it was their fault, I go,
whether it's their fault or not, you have to give

(55:50):
them another one, I said, do you understand? He said, okay, okay.
So the next day I see somebody walking with a
brown hanging basket at Boston Fern, right, same thing, and
I see.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Them go up the same customer, right.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
And I'm in the office, and the office has got
Venetian blinds and I can pull them up so I
can peek out. So I just want to watch and
see what already does. So I see already talking to
them and telling them the plant didn't grow because you
didn't diet or water. It died because it had no water,

(56:26):
was too dry, and you need to put it in
a in more light.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
You could hear the conversation.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
I can hear the conversation. And then the customer starts
to you know, object a little bit and says, I
watered it all the time, and I took care of it,
and already goes and you know, the customer's starting to
get upset, and so already realizes, I think thinking of
what I told him. He goes, he goes, I don't worry.

(56:52):
He said, I'm going to give you another plant. And
so the customer calms down and already goes the guy goes,
you are, and he goes, yeah, I'm going to give
you another one, and he goes, oh okay, and then
already goes, only if you admit you didn't water this.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
The guy goes, all right, I did.

Speaker 1 (57:13):
That's beautiful. Hey, break time. We have two more segments.
We've got one long one and the shorter one. Soduced
you with us here on this audio edition of Garden
America BIS Talk Radio. It's always audio on BIS Talk radio,
but Facebook Live they kind of like to see us.
Not today anyway, Facebook Live, bistalk Radio back after these messages,
and we are back back on BIS talk radio, back

(57:34):
on Facebook Live. I remember that, remember that story, John,
that that was that was funnyod one's that twisted the
guy's arm.

Speaker 2 (57:42):
Now we mentioned before.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
I had to call already back in the office by
the way and explained, all right, you're halfway there. You
don't have to and.

Speaker 1 (57:52):
You don't have to.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Yeah, spiral alo, why I can't grow it? I think
I remember it was y What did you say it was?

Speaker 3 (58:02):
It was a spiral euphorbia?

Speaker 2 (58:03):
I think, oh, I thought it spiral alo. No, spiral
it's the one that it grows.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
Oh oh oh, yellow platiphila.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
I don't know spiral alo. But I think that they're
from like more tropical areas from Africa. But are the
is it more tropical and that's why they don't grow
well here?

Speaker 3 (58:24):
And more tropical? And also acid soils. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
the acid soils is the main big thing.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
Okay, So yeah that's what I thought.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Oh no, no, those are those are awesome plants. And yeah,
I think I've killed maybe fifteen.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Twenty exactly exactly. Yeah, yeah, they don't grow here, but
you know exactly every spiral al yeah, so spiral euphorbia.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
Yeah, so is that it's a tall upright can, but
it grows like a corkscrew.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
It might be called corkscrew. I know that one too.

Speaker 1 (58:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:58):
That's great. Yeah, that's fun. You know. The reason I
was questioning, you know, while you're still to grow is
because at Oasis they had some tall ones that were
maybe like three or four feet nice and those were spectacular.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
Oasis is a good spot. If you live in southern
California and you like succulents, you have to visit Oasis
because it's the retail portion of Altmans, right, and Altmans
is the largest grower in the United States probably now.
And the cool thing about.

Speaker 3 (59:31):
The largest grower cactus and succulents in the world.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Are they in the world. And the cool thing about
it is that they get some really cool stuff and
it's almost like they're so big sometimes they don't even
know the cool stuff they have. And then you go
to Oasis and you find it and you can you
buy it, you know, and it's like you will never
find this anywhere else, Like not even in some really.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
Home depot, well, because they just ship it to home
depot and sometimes you're going through the deep and you're like,
that's a spiral al if it's in there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
And it's like a dollar ninety nine, right yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
Yeah, but what carman who runs Oasis goes into all
the Altman greenhouses and she's worked there for years, so
she pulls out all that stuff that she sees is
there and doesn't want it to go to home depot
because she knows the value. So they ship it to
Oasis and it's still uh low compared to anywhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Yeah, great, prising, yeah, and always great stuff, like you
know big it's it's got like the little two inch
pots all the way up to six inch pots and
then they also have like five gallons and fifteen one gallons.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
Yeah, so what can you imagine some of those going
to home depot and they're like, I don't know what
it is, no, and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
They they literally they literally just rot on the table
and die.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Exactly because.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
Mountain home people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
No, no, no, not at all.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
I'd buy stuff at home.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Yeah, I mean, you know, you know what you want,
and yeah, if it's cheap, exactly. But yeah, so oasis.
If you are in southern California, like succulents, that's a
good spot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):
To get it even sounds like a good place you
want to hang out, a nice place.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
It sounds like Carla might want to offer an apology
here because she bought some Vinca armstrongs uh and took
them back when they died. But she said that they
looked good when she bought them, but they were infected
with that is it a an aerial blight or something,

(01:01:38):
you know that some of the vinka were getting. Yeah, yeah,
so and she said when they took it back, they admitted, yeah,
you know, this is what the problem was. So yeah,
that's not a problem, Carla.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
And I mean, hey, you know, I mean it's not
a terrible thing. Like things happen where you know, plants
are infected or they have bugs, and you know, you
bring them back and you know that's that's you know,
that's fine. It's just at some point in time also
you just kind of like, you know, you know, need

(01:02:11):
to be just good with good with the plans.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Don't you love Trader Joe's policy. Oh you can bring
anything back and they don't even they don't even ask
why Yeah, it's you go to that you could register, right,
so you've bought whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
It's because I just think that teaches people.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
Well, I know, it's just because the price there is
already marked up four times, so if they can return
it four.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
Times, and because they bought, they'll buy products from somebody
put their label on it. But so you bring stuff
up there, you go returning this and the bell dings,
the manager comes over, hits a couple of buttons. They
don't ask any questions. I think it actually works, I
know what you're saying. It can. It can really give
people this false sense of entitlement about bringing us back.
But I think in their in their case, it's so

(01:02:55):
it's like the honor system. It's so easy. It's like, well,
I don't dare bring something back that there's no reason to.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Wasn't that Nordstroms too, that you can bring anything back
to them?

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
You know? I remember being, you know, as I got
into upper management, you know, going to these classes, and
one of the one of the stories that the motivational
speaker gave was was how Armstrongs would take any Armstrongs
Nordstroms would take anything back. And somebody brought back a tire. Yeah,

(01:03:27):
and they replaced it and and he got got a
bonus because he took back the tire with no problem.
And nord Stroms doesn't carry tires.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
And you run into a product back, they don't sell.

Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
Right, And that was the lesson you were supposed to
learn on how you're supposed to satisfy the customer. And
I said, you know, I don't want those people shopping
him my.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Story, you know what that that's exactly right. Yeah, that
tells you a lot about them. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
And then they make the argument that like, you know, oh,
well that just made a customer of Nordrums for life.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
Yes, somebody is going to take advantage.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
Yeah, And I'm like, I don't think they if somebody,
if somebody brought a tire back to Nordstrums.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
I would fire the guy that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:11):
Yeah, I don't think that customer is going to be
my customer for life, because I think that they don't
understand what we sell.

Speaker 1 (01:04:19):
You know what, Here's what I've always had a problem
with when it comes to managers is that usually you
you're promoted as a manager because you've done a good job,
You've learned the business, you know what's going on. But
has anybody taught you how to handle people? Has anybody
taught you how to handle your employees? Has anybody taught
you these things that you know? You You can take advice,

(01:04:40):
but you kind of have to have that within you.
A good leader, you know what makes a good leader.
Some people are just born a good leader. Show show
me how you want your company, ryn, what do you
do this and that? All? Handle the rest. I'll handle
the people too. Many times managers may have a lot
of knowledge, but they're terrible with people. They're terrible with people.
Like that seminar that you went to that you're talking about.
I think without going to that seminar, you could manage.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
The one thing that I learned how to do with
employees and it worked out really well, was you're always
going to have an employee that can't do something and
you just get frustrated trying to get him to do it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
Find what he can do, Yeah, find what they do.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Like to do what they do right. We had a
guy working when I was in Claremont that was horrible
at everything, but we had a fountain display upfront, and
fountain displays our fountains are really expensive, and he loved
maintaining the fountain. No one else wanted to clean those
fountains to get the algae out and stuff, but he

(01:05:43):
kept them pristine. And and you know, my assistant manager
at the time wanted to fire him, and I go,
you know why, you know, look at no one else
will do this. So we just gave gave him less hours.
When he came in the found he was in charge
of the fire.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
Everyone's good at something, you find, you know. Yeah, no,
I agree.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Back to my buddy Lartie, who was the assistant manager.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
We had a.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
Cashier that we hired who was terrible. She was a
bad cashier. She loved uh sales, she loved helping people.
And when it came time to unloading trucks, she could
pick up two five gallons in each hand, so four
or five gallons at that time.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Huh do you give your wrong money back or you're so?

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
Her register went in balance at the end of the day.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
Okay, that but I mean these days though, I mean
back back then. Yeah, back in the day we had
to actually count change back right, it didn't tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:06:40):
And there was remember when John worked, he was it
was like punch punch, punch.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
Yeahfe wasn't quite that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
My first job at a Hamburger joint on the beach,
you know somebody it was it was nine ninety. Well,
let's say that's a bad example. Let's say it was
eight fifty and they gave you a ten. You had
to go fifty makes nine ten counting change back. Well,
now the register just tells you how much change to
give back to somebody. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
The only thing that sells the cashier down now is
if you try to give if they ring up that
you gave him a ten and you go, oh, here,
I have twenty six cents.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Yeah, that's what DA does. Yeah, and like, let me
just give you the change back. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
That's exactly right. Let's see we close enough. Yeah, let's
take a break, and then we have one more segment
coming up. All right, so you know what, See he's
a little rough, but we're going to make it to
the island. Yeah, I think we're okay. Guard in America,
Bistok Radio, thank you for joining us. We love having
you each and every weekend. So again, the final segment

(01:07:38):
coming up next day with us, This is Garden America.
We are back, gentlemen, back on the air. Back on
Bistok Radio. Back on Facebook Live.

Speaker 3 (01:07:45):
John, Hey, back when we were talking about figs and
I mentioned the black jack fig, Veronica pointed out, without saying, John,
you don't know what you're talking about, she said, my
back jack fig is in a pot and it stays small.
And that's absolutely correct that if they're in a pot,
they will stay small.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
Yeah, they'll grow to the size.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:08:08):
But in the ground is one they'll shoot up. So
thanks for pointing that out, Baranica. That's that's good to
remember that some dwarfs are more dwarf in a container.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Yeah, And that's a tough thing sometimes, knowing as far
as what will grow into container and stop and then
what will grow in a container and then bust out,
you know, likeffocated and yeah, or begin to get und Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
So Tanya had mentioned how one of her favorite nurseries
was Green Acres and there's one in Roseville, and I'm
I'm trying to think the guy that's started Green Acres.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Pity Albert, Right, I'm sorry, that was mister Haney. He
bought it from mister Haney.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
Yeah, I'm thinking they were out of Sacramento originally, right,
And so like Roseville's outside of the Sacramento right, Yeah, exactly.
But anyway, that's a good nursery. But I'm thinking that
the guy was originally from There was a nursery in
Phoenix and I think they came out and did start

(01:09:18):
Green Acres. Yeah, it might have been the Star people.
I'm not sure. Yeah, anyway, Green Acres is godmagine.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Running a nursery in Phoenix in the summertime. There's a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
There's a lot of nurseries out there. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:32):
I think they kind of rest in the summer. Yeah,
that that would be similar to say, can you imagine
running a nursery in Minneapolis in the Yeah, just a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Why what are you doing.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
In my in my first part of my career was
at Frank's Nursery, which was based in Detroit, and and
they you know, come win or what do you do?
And it was before the break, before the house playing craze,
so you couldn't get plants in the winter, and they
would bring in I think we've talked about this before,

(01:10:10):
but any little they would go to New York to
these close out places and buy anything cheap and I
mean there would be uh, school supplies.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Clothes, anything to sell.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
I remember seeing Frank's was selling.

Speaker 2 (01:10:28):
Anything to sell through the winter deal on.

Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
They would buy money coming in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
Yes, So I would have to display this stuff down
the aisles, and I remember, uh getting in girdles, ladies, girdles.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
I don't think John would walk around wearing them.

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
I don't think they were them anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
I don't think women wear girdles.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Maybe our listeners know. But there was a girdle that
had to be I would guess three feet wide, because
a lot of the clothes thing to think I was irregulars.
So I'm thinking I took it to the manager. I said,
first of all, I don't know how to display the
Second of all, how practical is it if you have

(01:11:12):
a girdle this big? What's the point?

Speaker 1 (01:11:15):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:11:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
What were those things back in the Victorian ages of courses?
Of course, they pull them tight, tight, tight, So your
waist was like, you know, three inches.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
That's what they did to not three inches, but I
think eighteen inches is what they think.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
You can go. Even less than that, wasn't it. I
don't know, but I remember it's like we're experts on
this stuy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Yeah, I know, well, it's don't even know what a
girdle is or if they use him.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
Now you're over here.

Speaker 3 (01:11:40):
I remember Vivian Lee and Gone with the Wind. Do
you remember the scene where Mammy is pulling her tight
in her course? Yeah, yeah, I do remember that, and
I do remember it was I thought it was eighteen inches,
but it could have even been sixteen inches.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
As much as you can till the woman can still breathe.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Well, do you know? That's why they had what do
we have right now? That's why they had couches show
what fainting couches? You know those those those coaches that
you just kind of like that, they were called fainting couches.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
It was because the women couldn't breathe, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (01:12:25):
Yeah, or they'd get an attack of the vapors.

Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
And you know, I don't about check Tiger the newsletter.
I don't remember this segment being promoted in the newsletter. Yeah,
and we'll talk about girdles of courses.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Yeah, when we were doing our pre show run through,
I don't remember this spot.

Speaker 3 (01:12:43):
We always I always like to have a little surprise
for you guys. By the way, we haven't talked sports
yet and Kevin wanted to know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
He did say that he wanted to.

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Know if we were excited last week, he said he
forgot to ask. But when the Padres were in first place,
if yeah, what.

Speaker 1 (01:12:59):
Do they know that they're they're close now right, still.

Speaker 3 (01:13:02):
Two games out, but they're pitching is suspect at.

Speaker 2 (01:13:07):
Best good days and bad days.

Speaker 1 (01:13:09):
It'll be all right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
I don't know it'll be all right, yeah Padres.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
Jeez, the two things you say about the how about
those Podres? And wait till next year?

Speaker 5 (01:13:20):
Yeah, there was already a There was already a uh
a sports guy I was listening to in the car
and he was.

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Already pushing like, oh opening day next year, blah blah blah.
And I'm like, this season's not even over.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
Oh my gosh, Okay, we've got about a minute wait
a minute, yeah, well a minute and a half.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
All right, and then that's the wrap, right, said, we
made it. We made it through another Saturday, we.

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
Got we got on the air. Yeah, it's gonna be
an interesting week figuring things out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:54):
That was so weird.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
Maybe you know what you know what's really weird is
that you came in with the engineer during the week
fixed things to make sure that it were.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
What did I tell you?

Speaker 2 (01:14:06):
And when engineers leave a room and I fixed and
I was in here, I brought everything in. Yes, this
was the most show prep we did to be ready.

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
Now maybe this week.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
You can go I can do this at home.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
How about how about maybe trying the new tablet again
with it plugged into the camera. Yes, people don't know
what we're talking about, but that seemed to solve a
problem when we did a remote at the nursery.

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
Yes, I don't think people care, right, Yeah, they.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Do that they can share their gardening experiences with us
and everyone else.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
I got an email from a couple of listeners last
week saying, maybe you guys should go back to the
new tablet.

Speaker 3 (01:14:47):
Yeah, might have a good idea, Lisa, and reading says,
go giants. Now giants would have been more disappointing than me.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Lisa. They're a big disappointment.

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
This year, right, except did you know they've won six
games in a row.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
Yeah, but when you're playing the Marlins though, they're still
trying to get up to back to five hundred.
