Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, good morning, good afternoon, good anything. Hello. We are
back live in studio in his garden, America, and somehow
we are connected. The audio maybe a little funky, but
we are back with you as we kick things off.
You're on guard in America. I'm Brian Maine, John Beg Nasco,
Tiger Palafox, working around a lot that is happening in

(00:20):
studio this morning. Thank you for hanging in there with us.
Thank you to the two or three that are watching us.
Hopefully we'll have a little more as we continue. I
don't know, John, Tiger's going to Tiger only because I
want to give you time to get your thoughts together.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
John, good good. I need to collect myself.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
And you don't need that mic in front of you.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
By the way, you know it makes me feel good.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
If it makes you feel good, Pacifier, that's fine, I
get it. I would suggest maybe scooting up a little bit.
I don't know, Tiger, it's just a oh, would you
suggest I would? I'd suggest your experience of what we're doing. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Happy fourth July.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Happy day after, but happy for because I wanted to
do the show yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Yeah, John, because we had the old fireworks show and
everything planned.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And John had that little sae he went to.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
What was this swarm?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
What was.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
He's a good friend for yours?

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Oh, it was a we went to a pot luck
for our Bible study group. Okay, okay, so we did,
you know, grilled hamburgers and a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Of swimming, a lot of swearing.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was fun. It's fun. A lot of people our
own age, you know, people and walkers wheelchairs.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Where was it that at one of the fires homes?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Nice?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, Yeah, it was fun. It was good to see everybody.
And I was able to get home at seven p thirty,
so it's still like.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I was just going to ask, was it one of
those homes that like, we have a view of the
fireworks to come here and hang out until the end of.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
The fireworks show.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
No, it was just a we're just going to hang
out together and then we're all going to disperse before
fireworks even happened.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Wanted to get home while it was still light because
I wanted my wife to see what I had done.
Oh and she had two years ago at home depot.
For some reason, she bought a five gallon passion vine. Okay,
two years ago, two years ago, Why would you buy this, okay,
because she liked the flowers, right.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
I mean or the fruit either one.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
It wasn't a fruit, Oh, it was ornamental passion vine.
And you have to admit the flowers are intriguing. Yes,
pretty spectacular.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I love I love the comments so far, go ahead, John,
this is interesting.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Okay, But what do you do with a five gallon
passion vine. You have to plan it right, because it
doesn't stand in your patio very long. And you know
it was in one of those little bamboo triangle things.
You know that you can grow grow that vinea.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
A staking system that they may can do a teepe
had a bamboo steaks.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yes, So we've been redoing all the planters on the
back patio and I think I had a picture last
week of one of the planners we had done with
the dresina in the plant. Anyway, all the planners have
been done redone, and we're pulling all the extraneous pots

(03:19):
off the patio and this was still there, pushed off
to the end, and I said, you know, we need
to either throw that away or do something with it.
And she says, well, where could we plan it? And
I was going to say, but I was going to say.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
The other thing that you have to have for a
passion by the plant is somewhere to plant it that
it can grow onto exactly.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
You can't just plant it exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
So now that you mentioned that, it gave me an
idea too, I was thinking, what about if we start
putting in the newsletter the deal of the week that
something we find online. Okay, it's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's a good idea.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
So I found on gardener's supply. Okay, a half arch trellis.
Have you seen those?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
No?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Okay, so it's it's not a whole it's only half
a trellis, right, Instead of a whole arch, it's half
an arch. And it's ten foot a ten foot trails,
which is pretty big, right, okay. And it leans up
against the house. Oh so like the other hart is
like two to three feet out, got it? Yeah? And

(04:34):
then it leans up against the house.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Oh so it makes like a loll flying buttress on
your house.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, gotcha, flying buttress like your favorite.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I never thought i'd ever hear you say flying buttress,
especially on the air like this. Z So not.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
The reason I say deal of the week is what
would you think a ten foot trellis.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Would cost oh easily, like a couple hundred bucks.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, this was fifty dollars. What It's on sale right
now if you go to Gardener's supply. Not advertisers. By
the way, we're just mentioning that I found this online.
If you have problems with them, go to them directly.
But it was it's a trellis that you put together.
Wouldn't metal, you know, I don't know if it's metal

(05:18):
or heavy duty plastic. Okay, I'm hoping it's plastic, gotcha,
because metal deteriorates, right, especially that Chinese metal. So everything
snaps together, right, Yeah, I am not supposed to disciss.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
Bright and I just made icons.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Just we do google each other during the show.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's understandable. So everything snaps together and it just leans
up against the house.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, So I planted this at the base and.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Wait a minute, base of the base of the tu
so the base of the trails. And now this vine
is going to grow. Fact, it's going to go towards
your house. I think I have a picture of and
there you.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Go, Oh, look at that. You took a picture of it.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now I'm also judging the I'm judging the growth of
the two year old passion vine.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Now, well, I can't to cut it off.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
That looks like let me see that.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Oh yeah, is coming out in August middle of a
she's going to bring another half. No, I think by
the time she gets here that it'll probably be at
least half way up the trellis, if not completely.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
You know, throw so fast.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
You didn't know this. I'm a big trollis guy?

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Imagine you would be a big trull I.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do like true? In fact, well, if things were different
at home right now, but the construction going on and
getting all that situationd because we can't put the papers
until that's done. Patio, there's a place I'd like to
have a trellis.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
What would you grow on?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh? Everything?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well, only pick one color color?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Is there a.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Multi colored wine besides like a Bob and Vay you.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Is there a Joseph's orange and red and yellow? Right?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh, that'd be great with the colors? Are you just
have to have that mic in front of it. We
should explain to people that we're not using our mics
today because we're using the camera mics. Because we solved
one technical problem, we think, we think, and then something
else crept up. But we were so passionate about getting
on the air this morning not to let you down,
So I keep teasing John.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
So, by the way, I want to, I want to
elaborate a little bit on the trellis that I bought.
It's very lightweight, so I would not because we just
mentioned that Joseph's coat rose.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Put a climbing rose on the wisteria.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, I think you're really too heavy for that, heavy
for that, okay, but passion vines, very light clematis would
be perfect. Oh yeah, if you wanted to grow clamenus
on there. But again, the cool thing about it is
it just leans up against the home, your house, so
you don't have to pound anything into the wall.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, and how about that?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
And so what are you going to do under it?

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Because now it's leaning up against the house, this vine
is going to grow on the outer shell of it,
which means is going to have this little secret.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Are you gonna put a ferry garden in the break?
Are you?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's kind of personal? He said my name first, he
corrected himself, John.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
No, I don't know what I'm going to do back there,
you know, where it is. It's the area where I
asked you to get me two five gallon Icy blues.
Icy Blue put a carpet, so I still think I
set it off to the left as the outdoor tankless
water heater, So I want to still put an icy

(08:57):
Blue there, got it so to cover the water here,
and and then I think I might put one on
the other side too.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
But I'm glad you got specific on your water heater. Yeah, yeah,
outside of the tankless water heater, not just the water heater.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well as it hangs on the wall.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
It's logical because if everyone sure, can you imagine I
everyone's like John's water heaters just outside his house like that.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
That'd be weird.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
By the way, Joyce, you know, I don't know. I'm
not sure how old you are, Joyce, but it's she
said something that I identify with so much. As I
get older, these things happen to me all the time.
And she said that she came home from her walk yesterday,
she went to Facebook to listen to the show, and

(09:42):
it took her five minutes to realize it was Friday.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
That's great, I thought yesterday was Saturday all day.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, Well, it seemed like it. You know yesterday I
just explained I planted this fine yesterday morning, right, and
our potluck was at three o'clock. So at a quarter
after two, our guests the home we went to, they
were supplying the hamburgers, right, sure, so everybody else brought something,

(10:12):
Shadow was bringing devil daggs. So a quarter after two,
I come in, she's watching TV. I sit on the
chair and I say, how did the devil d eggs
turned out? She goes, oh, I forgot.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I forgot to make them.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
So she had fifteen minutes to make Devil Days.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
We're going to take a break, our first break of
the show this week. Thank you for joining us. We
are Garden America. I'm Brian Main joined Big Nasco, Tiger,
Pellafox and thank you a special thank you of course
to Bistalk Radio because these messages on Bistalk Radio are
for you. Stay with us, all right, we are back.
Hope you enjoyed that break. Thank you to biz Talk
Radio for putting us on the air nationally every week

(10:52):
and those of you on Facebook live catching up watching us.
We do appreciate it. Questions comments, no guest this week
we are lining one up though for the next couple
of or so, So stick around for that John and
his deviled egg story. You know, I think it's interesting
deviled eggs in a Bible study. Does that go together?
You know?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I was fondering, well, I was. I wondered the same
thing you and I always think, like, right, And I
was wondering, if there's, uh, if devil means something other
than satan, you know, if if it's an English word
for processing something.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Devil's food cake.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
So no, so it's still a wonder.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
It's still a wonder. Somebody somebody out there can look
it up and find out, right, where did deviled.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
You deviled them? Something about the ingredients? Right?

Speaker 2 (11:41):
So I don't know. Fortunately, my wife had heart boiled
the eggs the day before and they were sitting in
the refrigerator, so it didn't take long.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
By the way, we're not quite done with the eggs
that you gave us. Really were almost yeah, just so good.
They were little ones this time, I know, so we
had I think for a piece three or four.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I did that on purpose because we have different size eggs,
right right, and and we had some of the bigger ones.
But I thought, you know, this just doesn't look right.
They don't match if you mix it, if the ones
with the little ones could. I only had enough little
ones to fill the card, so I gave you all

(12:22):
a little more.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
So he graded him like they do at the grocery store.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, you know, the A double all got a better price, Yeah,
much better price.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Funny.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I want to thank Carla for the encouragement. She always
she reads our newsletter.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
She's very encouraging.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Whenever I do the newsletter, I'm thinking, what would Carla
think of this?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Perfectly?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, but she said, congratulations for the wonderful newsletter, John.
I enjoyed the honor you paid to our founding fathers
and their love for gardening. Thank you for honoring these men.
We so much too.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I noticed that picture. It's a patriotic theme. Washington and
Jefferson in the garden. Yeah, and but the look on
Washington's face like, make sure you do that right. I'm
one of the I'm one of the founding fathers as well,
my friend.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, you know, the quote of the week, which we've
not done yet, Brian, was from Thomas Jefferson, and he
said that no occupation is so delightful to me as
the culture of the.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Earth now do we know that he really said that. Yeah,
it's on TAKEE okay, good, we have those voice, we
have him saying that.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
So it's funny that that comes up today because last
night we had some friends over. We're all just hanging
out having conversations. No double days last night, but lots
of other stuff. And one of the things that's Janine
has been a teacher her whole life, her whole career, and.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
She taught fourth grade, middle school, and now she's in
high school.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
And in the fourth grade, at some point in time,
she did a project where, you know, she asked the
kids what do they want to be when.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
They grow up? In fourth grade?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
I mean, you know, talk to lawyer after a professional
baseball player, whatever it is, right, And she had this
very intelligent girl in her class, and she said, my
career doesn't exist yet. So that's always stuck with me.
Like that's a very mature thing to say, like I'm.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Going to be smart way to get out of answering.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
But it came from a very intelligent girl. From the
standpoint if she surely did feel like I'm going to
be so on the cutting edge of either technology or
life that the career I'm going to have doesn't exist yet, Okay,
And that's always stuck with me.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
In the way technology is today that holds water very well.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Very well, right, And so somehow that came up in
conversation last night. So we're all sitting around and we're like,
we should this was I don't know, twenty years ago,
Like we should like.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Look her up.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
What oh gosh, right, So we looked her up and
she's studying. She's got her PhD in biology and she's
studying like ecology, biodiversity and all.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
This other stuff.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
And the thing that she is studying and doing her
like big uh whatever on is see dispersal and how
it affects the ecology and anyways, like it's this whole
position on nature and our environment and how the environment

(15:47):
interacts with other environments. And so I mean it's kind
of neat because she still is in that whole like
my job doesn't exist yet thing. But she went back
to nature and kind of like you know the Jefferson
quote right now, where you.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Know there's no greater career than working with nature.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know, when when a fourth grader says something like that,
you don't really want to play with other kids, do.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
You, other kids don't want to play with you.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
But when when you when you look back at grade school,
and there was always maybe one or two that like,
you're different, you're you're probably are going to do something different.
I remember in grade school we had there was three
classes for every grade, the regular and then okay, you're.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Pretty split you up into the three.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
They didn't evenly distribute the three like you were in
the high or you were in the love, you were.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
In like the regular, or like okay, yeah you're a
little different.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Different reading groups.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Then there was the like you're probably going to go
to the moon someday. And there was like twelve kids
and they were like mister Broswich, I'll never forget the name.
He taught that, these kids and they were yeah, I
mean we interacted with them, but we.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
All knew they were. They kept you away from those kids.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
It was interesting.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
I didn't want you to rub off on them.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
But and then mister Broswich taught sex ad in sixth grade.
And this guy was a big intimidating man and if
you did anything wrong or said something that you thought,
I'm dying, He's gonna kill me. He had a temperate
but he taught these kids, and it was like I
thought back like we just thought nobody was like, well

(17:28):
I should be in that class, or you know, just
the way it was. No, I don't know if they
still do that.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
No, I think they make every class even.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Really, but that was to teach people. I know why
they did it. Because you're teaching somebody on the level
that they can learn and understand. You don't want to
slow them down, right.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Because you would be That is a problem with some
classrooms today is that when you have a low kid
in a class and you have a high kid in
a class, the teacher has.

Speaker 3 (17:53):
To meet in the middle there and you're either.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Passing by this child or right pulling his child back. Yeah,
so they But I love how you knew though, Oh yeah,
you knew as a child, like I'm not in a
good class.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Very good friend of mine, Gary Ruben. Gary was always short,
and in fact I saw him in our high school
reunion recently.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Still short, yeah of course, yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
But Gary, Gary was smart, but he hung out with us.
So in our twentieth reunion, So Gary, what what's going on?
This is before Facebook? How you doing? He goes, I'm
gonna I'm gonna retire from NASA. Really. Yeah, I've been
working on you know, all these projects. I'm like, well
that makes sense. Yeah, it makes sense, you know in

(18:36):
third fourth grade.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
You know, this is off the gardening topic. But I
was thinking of Tiger this week because as.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
You so often do during the week.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Always I always think to you guys, especially when I'm
doing the cartoons for the newsletters. Yeah, but I was
thinking of Tiger because I was reading the salaries of
lifeguards in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Oh yeah, yeah, three undred.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Thousand dollars a year. What it is what a lifeguard
makes like a captain? No? Well, yeah, but the average
one makes two hundred thousand and the lowest paid one
is one hundred thousand.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, so that makes no sense to me.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
Oh, when you're drowning, it does.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Well.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, but but well this is my point. How many,
and I'm sure there's statistics, how many times during the day, week,
or month is somebody being saved?

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Oh, you'd be surprised. It's a lot.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
A policeman doesn't make two hundred thousand a year, does
he know he's going to save more people than a
lifeguard is?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah? You know that. That's that's interesting. Dan, it was
a lifeguard.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
At the beach.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Do you think I think it was a pool? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Lifeguarding at the beach is different than life guarding.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh absolutely, yeah, you say both, right, Yeah, you don't
have rip tides and pools.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yeah, and I'm not trying to but no get you.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
I understand, but I will say the thing.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
We're coming up on a break, okay.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
That lifeguards like they work a lot of overtime usually because.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
There's no text.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Okay, So we went from Jefferson to uh we we
we always come full circle. We're going to take a break.
It's guard to America. This break is for our good
friends on biz talk Radio. Stay with it.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
You forgot I forgot to turn its on.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well that was a great segment, all that information. Yeah,
now we're good. Now you can hear us. We're just testing.
We have to test sometimes our viewers and listeners to
see if they're paying attention. And okay, you're paying attention,
Thank you very much. Don't we need don't we need
a sign language? I feel like we need a producer,

(20:48):
like why you here's the here's the deal. Tiger is
doing one more thing that he doesn't normally do. That
I used to do. So we've we've given him more
responsible so I'm gonna give him a break. I know
what it's like him to be in this situation.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Let's be fair. I have no idea what you guys
are doing.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Will you sit there and look pretty?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
That's how you got the John, I have no idea.
I have Tiger checked the batteries to make sure that
they're fresh.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
So you need to restart the clock though, so from
like ago, because the audio is going.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
To be Okay, there you go. You're gonna you're gonna
get us longer today. I will I don't know know
the listeners and viewers. That's a good thing. Now we're
getting back to John doing nothing. That's not true. Basically,
when we started the show, a lot of people interviewed
for it, and John came with a great resume. They
weren't really impressed. They were impressed by his looks. They said, well,

(21:45):
you know this guy, we're here and he knows a
lot more in John, but look at look at that guy.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
And Carlo, by the way, said that she hoped that
she's that. We saw her lifeguard comments. She didn't hear
my apology, so.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh yeah, well we see the comments just us.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, the whole segment that we were turned off, Carla,
we were talking about I was basically apologizing and I
was talking about we were talking about how information you
hear on the news isn't always correct and AI and
all that. So so I'm waiting for an apology except.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Except that's another joke on. Yeah. Well so we are
kind of stumbling through this today, but we're there.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
The thing is, we did we start off this spot
with the color Bowl talk? Was that last spot color Ball? Yeah,
we were talking about the fourth of July. That's how
we started. That was the last one. Was Yeah, Because.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Okay, I've had an update on my vegetable garden.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
Is are things still there? Things are still there? Excellent.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
The second bid though, I have not put a fence on,
and uh, the only thing that's come up or the cucumbers.
I planted some bush cucumbers, so we'll see see what
those do. And there the first one, my wife gave
me a challenge and said, I want a pretty vegetable garden. Okay,
so it actually I think looks pretty. But you know,
now we're ready to harvest this coming week. She can

(23:18):
harvest the lettuce if she wants, which is going to
destroy some of the look of the people, look of
the garden.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, but it goes right back to work the tomatoes.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
You know, tomatoes I planted late, but I now have tomatoes.
I have Roma, sun Sugar and early girl and they
all have tomatoes.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
All Right, you have to bring a sun sugar to
the station. And how much in a couple of weeks?

Speaker 4 (23:43):
How much salad are you gonna eat that she has
to harvest the lettuce meaning like it's just for YouTube,
Because I feel like she could probably just go through
and pick off a bunch.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
Of leaves make salad without like late out in the
garden as individual heads, right, So I think she'll probably
want to cut one, right, But.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Then that's going to ruin the look.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
She can't just pull like four leaves from you have
like four or five.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
You have like four or five of them in there,
don't you.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
I think there's about a dozen.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, why if she pulled one leaf from each one?

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Because because I mean, if you if you pull it one,
if you pull one right now, that means you still
have eleven more, right, are you gonna eat eleven more
and the next or.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Do you stick the lettuce in the refrigerator, covered up
and keep it that way for a week or two
and then let the let it grow again out there.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
I like, I don't like putting lettuce in the fridget.
If I have a lettuce plant, I leave it in
the garden and I will pick off leaves and make
and make lettuce at that time.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
He so, speaking of that, how are you protecting it? John?
That you've had such good looks so far?

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Snipers?

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Rightday my wife goes, oh, look, there's a bunny in
the driveway.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
The one you ran over right.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I've never had a gun my whole life, but I
would like some type of gun, a BB gun or something.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
About a squat gun. Well that's people will accept a
squirt gun.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
You can't hurt a rabbit with a squirt gun.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Do you know what you wanted to go away?

Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, but that's not even gonna make You're gonna kill.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
You're gonna kill a rabbit with a vv.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
These are fall book rabbits. They love water squirting either
that or poison.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Wow, what was slow death?

Speaker 3 (25:32):
What was the guy from?

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Was there was Peter cotton Tail the one that would
and then what was the farmer's name are the gardener.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
And that's John. That's John, Like that's Peter, you know
that knows John.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
You know out there in the driveway and waiting for
John to show up, and then the farmer guy is John.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I might get to have a hard trap there, you go,
see if I can relocation. Sure, when I lived in
had my old house on Pepper Tree, I think I
told you that one year I trapped thirty rabbits and
then relocated them.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, you relocated him annoyingly to your house where you
live now, too far.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Away from where I live.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
That's so funny, it's so true.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
So how are you protecting your chicken wire?

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Tiger gave me a roll of chicken wire that he
had in the.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
How far down did you truck?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
No? I didn't dig down at all.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
Really, he's well, he's got a six inch he's got
a six inch balk of wood, so they have to
dig under that, which they could. But then he put
the The chicken wire is only two feet tall. Which
did you put it on top of the six inch
or did you put it inside the six inch?

Speaker 2 (26:41):
I put it. I got the metal steaks and I
pounded those inside the wood. And then just ran the chicken.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
W So the fence is about two and a half
feet tall, yeah, which nothing's jumping in, which is all
so far, Which is hard because normally they say to
you about three feet right, you.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Have coyote, You must have coyotes in the area.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
R coyotes don't like lattus.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, I'm talking about the critter, the critters that you
have around for the rabbits and everything else.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
You know, the coyotes are well fed.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Yeah, okay, that's the thing, right, Like I mean, they
always talk about that balance of predator and whatnot, but
I feel like there's a lot more of that lower
on the food chain animals out there than the upper.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
But I guess what I'm trying to trying to say
is the coyotes are Are they helping you at all
in terms of keeping some of those critters away by
eating them?

Speaker 4 (27:39):
I mean, coyotes are naturally scavengers, meaning they're looking for already,
but they will.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
They will kill though, they will kill you.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
You've been living on like nat Geo where the people
are on.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
The savannah and they see the.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Area they've done, they've attacked.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Do you remember the old Disney movies like Sancho the
Homing Steer. There was something.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
I think he's gonna go with Old Yeller and I
can follow wait to the Homing Steers. Yeah, I have
never there.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
And then and then there was a coyote one somebot something.
The coyote by the way, Carlos said Tiger that it
was Farmer Farmer mcgreg McGregor MacGregor Gregg. Right, Yes, Sancho
the Holing Steer.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
What is the Homing Steer?

Speaker 2 (28:29):
You have to watch the movie.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
I've never heard of that. Really.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
There used to be those uh Disney specials. They were
always about specials.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
They were yeah, they were the they were like they
had a theme or something.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, yeah, and it would.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Be all right.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Let's ask our Facebook viewers and listeners.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Is it just anyone ever seen Sancho the Homing Steer.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Sancho the Homing Steer.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Now this is a memory from seventy years ago?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
So this is this a cause and effect you were
going through?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Well, the thing is, I might it's locked in my
brain somewhere, but it could be totally wrong. I don't
know if that was true. As a five year old boy,
I remember Sancho for sure. Okay, whether the homing steer
meant anything or not, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Well, I sorry, we got distracted.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Was wasnto the Homing super But what was the theme
of you said, remember when Disney had the movies.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Because talking about animals, Well.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
It was starting about animals, coyotes, coyoti. There was one
about a coyote too.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
The only famous coyote I know is wild wildy Coote, Sancho.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
It might be the something the Wayward coyote, Wayward, but anyway,
there were those those types of titles and they would
always feature one animal, and you always felt, you know,
you always supported the animal, no matter what he did.
So like the coyote, you wanted to make sure that
the farmers didn't shoot him. Yeah, what about you don't

(30:09):
even know what I'm talking about there.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
I'm just looking. I'm just I'm just looking right into
your soul and I still can't figure it out. So
did you on Coyote Roadwinner? Did you root for the coyote?
You're the roadrunner?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
My daughter in law and.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Like a politician, like talking about you plan on lowering taxes.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
My southern daughter in law just got a new puppy
German shepherd and his name is Wiley, but not.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Wiley, wile E Wile But that's that. But that's the coyote.
That's his name, wile E Coyote.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Well I thought it was Wiley.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
No, it's wild. So they're pretty smart. They knew what
they were doing when they named him wile E coyote,
which is a takeoff on Wiley, like you Wiley coyote.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
And they always got everything at Me m h, which
is by like buying from Timu.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yeah, I love was Acme a real company?

Speaker 1 (31:08):
No, there's actually Acme companies if you.

Speaker 3 (31:11):
Oh, I'm sure there are is now.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
But but back in the day when that was the
popular brand, kind of.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
A generic Yeah, that was a generic term.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, it's kind of a it would be the Acme Yeah,
like uh, Acme fertilizer.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Let's say you bought a product that didn't work, would
you get it from Acme? Yeah, the Acme product. Okay,
we're going to take a break. I guess we're on time.
That's gonna be up to Daniel to make make sure
our segments line up with the network. So thank you, Daniel,
our maestro of the Internet and the digital sound and
digital audio. Going to take a break. For those on
bistalk Radio, we have one more segment if you're keeping

(31:45):
track of things for our number one to do, stay
with us as we do take a break for BIS
talk Radio back after. Hey, we're back from the break.
Thank you to bistalk Radio. Thank you to Stephanie and
her crew for doing a great job because sometimes they
have to play reruns for various reasons and they're as
right on top of things. So thank you BIS Talk Radio.
We are back. If you're on listening, I should say,
if you're listening to an on BIS talk Radio, final

(32:07):
segment of our number one, which means news comes up
top of the hour. We come back at six minutes
after for all kinds of fun things our number two
on BIS talk Radio Facebook Live. We just keep floating along,
and you know, Tiger and I making fun of John
and his recollection of Sancho, and so John goes to
the internet and what did you find, John?

Speaker 2 (32:28):
It's there, you know, and it wasn't that old. It
was nineteen sixty two. Really, yeah, Sancho sixty two. Okay,
So there is Sancho and the homing pigeon, the homing steer,
the homing steer.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Now we get tigered looking it up as well.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
I don't believe you speak.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Okay, here's the other one that I was referring to.
Came out before Sancho the Homing Steer. It was Chico
the misunderstood coyote.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Chico misunderstood, right, Ah.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
I seem to recollect that more than Sun Sancho or Sancho's.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
I wonder why all the animal names were Mexican.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's true, huh?

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Is Carla remembers uh Ferdinand the Bull?

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, that was a good one. And there was one
with a whale, an operatic whale. Do you remember that
when he was to sing opera? That was one of
my favorite. I really like that one.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
What about speedy ganzells? The most popular? I would imagine
it was a mouse, right yeah? Yeah, yeah, bugs, bunny,
flog horn, leghorn. So but none of the garden as
far as I.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Know, I have this.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
I had this question that came up right now in
my head to bring us back on the gardening because
I knew we were.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Gonna go off top.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
We always drift by, and John, you know, made me
think of it because he was at a friend's house
for the barbecue, and then you mentioned the color bulls.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Right, Okay, Brian.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
If you were to go to someone's house, and I
know that the situation can lean towards different options, but
if you were to go to someone's house for a
dinner party and you were to bring them something that
would be of a plant nature, are you going to
bring them a house plant, an orchid, a cut flowers,

(34:30):
or are you going to bring them like a vegetable
like plant or or bush or something like?

Speaker 3 (34:38):
What do you what would you?

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I think without I would give it more thought, but
at the top of my head, something that would last.
Probably a plant that would would take very little care
that they could it would grow indoors.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
He wants you to be specific, so he knows whether
or not to invite you. And Dano, well, see.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
If I bring him something.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Well it started me me think, But that's I want
to be.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
I want to start to be a person who is
known for bringing over something.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
They go, Wow, I was doing cut roses for a
while stick, which makes cutting them you know in my garden.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
It last week or so, right, a couple of weeks maybe.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, But it was just something from the garden, something
like a plant of some kind.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
It would last for a while.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yeah, like I think.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Because you know, I mean, you know, you you don't
want to make it hard on them, like meaning like exactly,
you don't want to give them something super difficult.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Take care of this, like you don't want to give
them a guinea pi.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Yes, definitely, minute, hold on, And you.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
Don't want to bring them to your rabbits, right you know, Oh,
I just caught this rabbit for you.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Well, speaking of that John last year and again it
gets all cloudy. You gave Tiger and I two roses each, right,
I said, I don't know, good luck or whatever.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
One it was Marina, the orange one.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
And what was the other one? Because I had one
bloom in my patio that was like it was red.
It was like a red it was he started from seed. Anyway,
I should have taken a picture because I cut it
off brought in the house. It lasted about four or
five days in Geors. It was beautiful and I went, oh, yeah,
that's from the one that kind of a reddish and
but as it was.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
Orange, all right, you're a little color black.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
No, No, it's more actually it was it had kind
of a pinkish hue. They were hues. It was if
it blooms again, I will show you because.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Was about its orange. You can get tiger.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Yeah, this wasn't Yeah, this was it was orange. Okay,
this is orange juice.

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Which is orange. It's orange like you would see orange juice.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Right.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
That didn't have a lot of pulp. Was there heavy
pulp or mediums? It was a medium medium pulp. You
know what's funny speaking of that, because that's how you
think when you buy orange hues. We bought one that
said some pulp some What what.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Does that mean?

Speaker 4 (37:10):
They even sell high Pole. There's people out there in
the world that want no.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
I like pulp, and I understand high pulp, medium pulp,
but just some sounds like, hey, there's some in there.
We're not sure exactly how much for some. We're not
going to get specific on those.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
That buys the high Pole.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
We love it.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
I love the pulp. I love I didn't used to.
Danny got me on it. It's one of those things
I'm like, what are you doing? And I started drinking.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
I went I kind of like this, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
But I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
That kind of makes sense because then there's those boba
tees that have those like balls in them and something
and people like that, like having something.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Like little tapioca ball.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
Yes exactly, I'm not this man.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, I kind of got out of the pulp thing.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Yeah, pulp fiction.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
What's one of your favorite?

Speaker 1 (37:53):
It was right, and and I don't mean to get
get on my pulpit and tell you about it, but
yes I did.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Carlo reminded me of another one that I remember from
my childhood, Lambert the Sheepish Lion.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
I remember that one.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Do you really? How about Lifby the Lion in HARDI
harr horror? What so aggressively Lippy the Lion in HARDI
harr horror. When I was a kid, we got cable
TV before it was a big deal, and I was
able to get LA cartoons, watch a lot of l
A TV stations and they were playing all these cartoons

(38:28):
I've never seen before.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Turtle, Paula and Fallbrook gave a bouquet of Mexican sunflowers.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Ooh that could you know what? That could either make
a friendship or break.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
A friendship right well, to Jetty, some people hate the
smell of to Jetty.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
That's Mexican Sundays, Mexican miracles. What's the Mexican sunflower?

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Isn't it to t I T h O N.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Trying to think of what a Mexican is? That one
of the California native ones. And it's kind of a.

Speaker 3 (39:08):
Gangly, a gangly looking yellow gangly.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
But when don't they call it a California sunflower? Well
that's what I'm I mean, the Mexican sunflower. Yeah, I
don't know, I just coming to my mind.

Speaker 3 (39:22):
It's sunflower plant. Did you looking at it?

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Look?

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Oh those are pretty Yeah. No, I don't think that's
a No, that's.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Not a California native.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
It looks like a zenia.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah, does kind of.

Speaker 4 (39:46):
That would be pretty to get. I think you would
make friends with that. Yeah, the jetty one, some people
might not like you. They'd be like giving someone cilantro
and it's one of those people that it tastes like soapd.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
How about bathroom fresh one, Well you shouldn't be eating
the bouquet.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Well, but I'm saying giving it to them and like
in cerns and like here, use my use all these
herbs that I picked for my guarden.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Mexican Mexican marigolds, by the way, well have they started
blooming yet. That's the one thing that that you know,
come fall, they're in full full color. Yeah, they're beautiful,
they're spectacular.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Well, I mean all those like salvia, Mexican sunflower, those
plants all kind of have their regeneration come through at
that time and they look pretty after a dry, hot
winter summer.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
We're close enough to a break, but this has been
a long first hour for BIS Talk Radio. It just
seems like it took a long time to go through
four segments because we had to reason that's.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Because I didn't have the audio reached on half of
the time.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
We're gonna take a break for news on BIS Talk Radio.
We come back at six minutes after Facebook Life. Stay
stay right here because we're gonna be coming right back.
Thank you for tuning in, and it's Guarden America Brian
and John Magnascar Tiger Pelafox as we continue on Guard America.
Happy weekend to you.
