Um, it is everywhere. It 7 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: is in all of our road names. We have a 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: peach tree like drop instead of a New Year's ball drop. 9 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: Peep peach drop instead of a ball drop. Right, yeah, exactly. 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 1: The Peach Tree road Race, which is the largest tin 11 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: k in the world. It's on fourth of July, although 12 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: this year, because of pandemic, it has been postponed to 13 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving times. Oh okay, all right, that sounds like a 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: much nicer time of year to write. Exactly. Yes, So 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: I run this every year and it is miserable. It's miserable. 16 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: I got heat poisoning, oh my gosh. Yeah. And I 17 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: think last year the mayor. The mayor comes and speaks 18 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: before it starts, and I believe she literally said don't 19 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: run it, which she met like, walk it, don't overheat. 20 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: But I was like, is this the race? Um, and 21 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: it's fun because my parents used to run it, so 22 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I have all their old shirts. Uh, the shirt is 23 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: the trophy in this case. Huh yeah. Yeah. And and 24 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: and peach peach emblems on all of those items that 25 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: we've got a peach on our license plate. Yeah, on 26 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: our licenses. Um yeah, pretty much any Georgia touristy type thing, 27 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna see some peaches. And I was thinking about 28 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: this and a terrible slash, very fun time at you know, 29 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: when I was young, memory game, I used to drink 30 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: fuzzy navels as my drink that I would order at bars, 31 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: and not just one but um, well, you know, hey, hey, 32 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: we all we find my my drink of choice was 33 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: was the mud slide for a number of years, so 34 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: I yeah, you know, we learn, you know, yes, and 35 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: I think those are fine drinks, but I would never ever, 36 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: at my current state, order more than one. Yeah. I sugar, 37 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: I have learned, does not treat me well, um as 38 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: a combination in combination with alcohol, So yes, and a 39 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: fuzzy navel if you don't know, is essentially orange juice 40 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: and peach snops and something else. But essentially that's it. 41 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: It's a very sweet fruit drink. And that reminds me. 42 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: I was thinking about all of the instances Peaches show 43 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: up in her pop culture. And here's your Signfeld reference 44 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: for the episode, Um, Peach snops Elaine when she has secrets. 45 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: If you want her to div hold, you just have 46 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: to get her drunk on Peach snops. Okay. And then 47 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: of course there's James and the Giant Peach. There's Princess Peach. 48 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: Um Kung Fu Panda has a lot of stuff about Peaches. 49 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Makes more sense to me now that I've done this research. Elf. 50 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: The children's book they were going to write an ELF 51 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: was about Peaches. Um. Right, the name of my co 52 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: hosta front stuff mom never told you her dog his 53 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: name Peaches Gertrude mcpusin. We have a very adversary relationship. 54 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think I think we've made friends. Okay, 55 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: it Peaches is coming around. Yeah. She she gave me 56 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: what Samantha likes to say was over excited bloody lip. 57 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: But she gave me a bloody lip in either case. 58 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: So um, well, I'm I'm glad if it was out 59 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: of excitement and not active malice. Malice, Yeah, oh, I 60 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: I think so. But you know. Um.

Netflix has recently recommended it to me, and 93 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: I immediately thought of you. I'm pretty sure, given that 94 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: you're a big supernatural fan, that it would be absolutely 95 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: up your alley. Um.

I guess you will, all right, all right, Um, 101 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: August is National peach month, which, as we record, is 102 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: coming up.

I love a 136 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: chard peach. I like, I actually like peach with basil 137 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: our basil um as people like to correct me. But yeah, 138 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: and I really love peaches with cinnamon. And that brings 139 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: me to a fact I want to put in here 140 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: that it is useless, but I'm going to share it. 141 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: I just learned a new fan fiction term which is 142 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: really impressive because I love fan fiction. Um, and it's 143 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: related to our recent classic episode on cinnamon Okay, So 144 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: cinnamon roll which means, in the world of fan fiction, 145 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: a sweet, kind, good character, too good for this world, 146 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: usually a fictional character that suffers, which is precisely my 147 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: fanfic jam. That is exactly what I like. So have 148 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: you never heard this term? That's girl? I'm glad. I'm 149 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: glad that you you've you've learned a new, um new 150 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: vocabulary for that. Yeah, and I think it's from an 151 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: Onion article headline originally where it was like cinnamon rolls 152 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: too good for this world or something. Yeah, but I've 153 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: been seeing it. But because of the world of fan fiction, 154 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: a lot of those terms means something that is very sexual. 155 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: I was appointing looking at oh okay, but I finally 156 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: I finally had to do it and it was so sweet. Anyway, 157 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: fan fiction aside, let's get to your question. Peaches what 158 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: are they? Well, uh, peaches are tree candy. Um, they're 159 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: are there are fruit that develops from the pollinatd flowers 160 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: on peach trees botanical name Prunus persica. There in the 161 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: family Rosacia, the rose family along with stuff from apples 162 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: to roseberries to roses. Peach trees need cool springs and 163 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: warm summers to um to produce flowers and then fruit, 164 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: so they do best in temperate regions. They are self pollinating, 165 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: but bees and other pollinators certainly help um and their 166 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: flowers are just oh, just real pretty pink, with these 167 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: little sprays of like red to maroon ish purple in 168 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: the center, lovely um. And the fruit that they grow 169 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: is called a droop. And we've talked about droops before. 170 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: A marichino, cherries, nutmeg, and pecans are all types of 171 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: droops um. So so a drop a droop is a 172 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: is a fruit that grows a single seed tucked away 173 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: inside layers of thin outer skin and then varyingly thick 174 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: flesh and then a hard inner pit or stone that 175 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: then encases the actual seed. And in the case of 176 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: pecans and nutmeg and stuff like that, that the flesh 177 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: isn't the point um for humans anyway, We're we're looking 178 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: for that inner seed. But in the case of peaches 179 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: and cherries and other droops like apricots and plums, um, 180 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: it's the opposite. You don't really want the seed because 181 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,239 Speaker 1: it's bitter, because it contains this compound called a magdalene 182 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: um that our bodies unhelpfully break down into hydrogen cyanide 183 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: unless you cook it out. But the flesh around the 184 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: pit comes in, in the case of peaches, in a thick, juicy, 185 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: sweet layer um in shades from creamy white to yellow 186 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: to blushing red um. Peaches are usually round dish, about 187 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: the size of an apple. The shape and size do vary. 188 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: There there are flatter variants um, some of which just 189 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: look like like wobbly little doughnuts, and I love them. 190 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever observed this phenomenon, but oh, 191 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: keep an eye out there, so cute um. The skin 192 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: of peaches ranges in color from pale yellow to to 193 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: red uh to to like a red so deep that 194 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: it's purply um. And generally varieties of peaches with lighter 195 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: flesh and skin UM contain less acid than deeper colored 196 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: varieties UM. Though that's because farmers have selected for those 197 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: combinations and not due to any like genetic predisposition for 198 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: those combinations. And speaking of the skin, it is fuzzy, yes, 199 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,599 Speaker 1: And this brings us to a fun fact um. Nectarines 200 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: are just a variety d of peach that has a 201 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: single gene um differing, and that single gene is just 202 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: a binary function of fuzzy skin versus not fuzzy skin. 203 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: What yep yep? And researchers think that all nectarines descend 204 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: from a single uh mutant European peach like five hundred 205 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: or more years ago. Oh wow, that's wild right, um, 206 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: And the the all the other differences that you get 207 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: between peaches and nectarines were probably um started with that 208 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: single genome, you know, but have been extrapolated out through 209 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: through breeding for specific traits since then. Oh well, okay, 210 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: here's another nerdy art project x men, but with fruit. 211 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: Oh so you got your original mutant peach mutant mutant nectarine. Yeah, 212 00:13:54,600 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: doctor x stin doctor next you. Then you've got peefee 213 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: keen and plumb pickins lemon squeezy. I'm just I'm just brainstorming. No, no, 214 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: don't know. Now we're still we're still in the workshop phase. 215 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: Sure all right, and listeners, um, we know you've got 216 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: some ideas for this. Oh gosh, uh okay okay um. 217 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: There there are two like key types of peaches um 218 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: cling and freestone um. And this describes how attached the 219 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: pit is to the flesh of the peach around it. Um. 220 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: Freestone pits just pop right off cling pits. Cling. Many 221 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: popular fresh varieties are varieties that you would eat fresh 222 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: are are freestone because they're easier to eat. But that's 223 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: not necessarily true. Depends on what you're growing in your area, 224 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: what people are shipping in um. And again you know 225 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: there're going to be differences among different variet these, but 226 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: the overall flavor profile of peaches is bright and tangy, 227 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: um and sweet and a little bit like floral, with 228 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: maybe some creamy vanilla butter kind of flavors in there, 229 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: and and just a touch of bitter sweet almond in 230 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: there somewhere. Um. Some have a slippy, milty texture when 231 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: they're ripe, and some remain firmer. UM. Though, if a 232 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: peach is dry or mealy, that means that it was chilled, 233 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: probably for shipping in storage, before it had a chance 234 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: to um to really develop its full flavor and texture. However, 235 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: this doesn't mean that you cannot refrigerate peaches once you 236 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: get them home. UM. You know, like like if you're 237 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: gonna be eating them fresh, especially, probably probably let them chill. 238 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: Out on the counter for at least a couple of 239 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: days to to develop those flavors and textures, because they 240 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: are a type of fruit that will continue to do 241 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: that after picking. Um. Yeah, yeah, so once once, once, 242 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: once they're soft, refrigerate them. If not, let him hang out. 243 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: Let him hang out. That's what we say. What about 244 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: the nutrition, peaches are very low in fact and high 245 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: in dietary fiber. They've got a good smattering of vitamins, 246 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: particularly A and C, and also minerals, particularly potassium. They're 247 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: not like too to sugary um, so they will help 248 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: fill you up, but won't really keep you going very long. 249 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: So they're good as a as a snack or or 250 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: paired with more fats and proteins to uh to to 251 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: round out your dietary intake. I feel like I could 252 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: be wrong, but I feel like peaches come up in 253 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: a lot of Apocalypse things like canned peaches. Oh sure, 254 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: they are a popular canned good. Yeah, And I feel 255 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: like maybe it was twenty eight days Later where one 256 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: of the characters is saying, like, you can eat these 257 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: can peaches and half your coca cola, but you're going 258 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: to have a real sugar You're gonna have a real 259 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: problem with sugar crash later. Oh, I feel like they 260 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: come up and lost as well. When um, when Hurley 261 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: is like basically eating nothing but canned fruit um for 262 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: the first several days to weeks and like eventually has 263 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: to go make friends with other people because he's like, 264 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: I need I need a source of protein. Yes, I 265 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: remember exactly the episode you're talking about. Um, we do 266 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: have some numbers for you. China is the world's largest 267 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: producer of peaches. In two thousand one, a peach monogram 268 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: listed four cultivars registered in that country. Three of the 269 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: countries at National germ Plasm Repositories are being used to 270 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: preserve the peaches genetic diversity. Oh I love National germ 271 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: plasm repositories. That's uh. The in the U. S. D. 272 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: A also has one at Davis, California that reportedly houses 273 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: some seven hundred varieties of peach. Whoa huh. Peaches, however, 274 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: have one of the smallest genomes of all flowering plants 275 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: and only eight pairs of chromosomes um. However, they contain 276 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: over eighty different volatile compounds UM, which are like smell 277 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: to taste compounds that that give um anything, it's flavor. 278 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: And the reason, by the way, um speaking of volatile compounds, 279 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: that peach pairs so well with mint is the same 280 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: reason that mint julips are tasty. Um peaches have some 281 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: of the same like oaky, nutty, vanilla flavors that oak 282 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: aged whiskey does. UM from a category called gamma lactones. 283 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: Gamma lactones. It's just science, it's just science. I feel 284 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 1: like gamma lactones could be in our fruit x men. 285 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Also, every time I think of mint julips 286 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: and meant in general, I'm reminded of the interview that 287 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: got away JP when coming to Kentucky listeners. He had 288 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: this beautiful Southern voice and he said all kinds of 289 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: things that just we're so somehow so deep and comforting 290 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: but odd. Yeah, just some of the JP. Well we 291 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: we we talked. We talk at length about him in 292 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: our Kentucky road Trip episode. Yeah, but I think we 293 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: aired so yeah, yeah, you can you can check out 294 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: that for more of it. That that really is like 295 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: we just weren't we We we weren't rolling, like we 296 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: didn't We were just there for a tasting and we 297 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: just happened to get this incredibly delightful human person, yes, 298 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: who talked a lot about bourbon and all these oaky 299 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: Venilai flavors and mint and mint julip. So he did. 300 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: He was so memorable every time I think of Mitt 301 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: Yeah and but but yeah, just just these bond mots 302 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: just rolled off of his tongue and in this very 303 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: lovely Kentucky accent. What was one of my favorites? He 304 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: he just because we were doing this tasting out on 305 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: this patio and it was a very nice day. And 306 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: at one point we were, you know, like like breathing 307 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: through our noses and out through our mouths while drinking 308 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: whiskey because that's the normal thing to do, and and 309 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: he was just looking out over the vista and he 310 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: just commented, as if to himself, you know, I think 311 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: you could live a thousand years and never have a 312 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: day just as lovely as this. Yes. Oh so I 313 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: was like JP, like, why aren't we rolling? And he 314 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: had a running commentary on Oscar the Cat and his movie? 315 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: So it was excellent one that got away. Yeah, this 316 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: was all Woodroff reserve. Um J JP Mattingly Um is 317 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: that his name? Yeah? JP? Should you ever happen to 318 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: be listening. We miss you. It was a lovely experience. 319 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: It was indeed a lovely day. Yeah. And and y'all, 320 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: if you ever get a chance to to travel, um 321 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: perhaps in the aftertimes, to to Kentucky and to Woodriff Reserve, Uh, 322 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: you know, keep it, keep an eye out. M M. 323 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: I feel like he might be like the ghost of 324 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: Bourbon or something. May mean he doesn't really even exist. Okay, 325 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: we we were talking about peaches, yes we were, uh 326 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: and um after After China, Spain and Italy are are 327 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: the other two top countries in in peach production. The 328 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: US is fourth, um and after apples, peaches and nectarines 329 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: are the most important economically economically important fruit crop in 330 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: the EU. So I know right. As of twenty nineteen, 331 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: the world was producing over twenty two million metric tens 332 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: of peaches per year. Wow, that is a lot. Mm 333 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: hmmm um. And US peach production during twenty nineteen was 334 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: some eight hundred thousand tons um valued it over six 335 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Of that about is sold fresh and 336 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: is processed, and of that most like is canned, sent frozen, 337 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: and the remainder dried or or or otherwise processed. But 338 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: all right, now we have to clear the air. We 339 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: have to address the elephant in the room. We do. 340 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: Though Georgia is known as the Peach State, it actually 341 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: only accounts for about zero point three eight percent of 342 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: the state's agricultural economy, and peach production in Georgia only 343 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: accounts are about between three to five percent nationally. Okay, small, um, 344 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: Georgia only had eleven thousand and sixteen acres of peach orchard. Still, 345 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: that amounts to a hundred and thirty million pounds of 346 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: peaches each year. But California and South Carolina produce more 347 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: peaches then Georgia does. Mm hmm. Georgia peaches do typically 348 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: mature a bit earlier, which in the past helped the 349 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: state submit its status as the peach state. Uh yeah, 350 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: a bit earlier than other Eastern states anyway. California is 351 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,479 Speaker 1: growing season is April through October. Southeastern peaches don't come 352 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: in until May. Um. Uh. And yeah, California does produce 353 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: the most peaches in the United States um, some fifty 354 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: six percent of our fresh peach crop and of our 355 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: processed peaches as of UM. But yeah, like like Jersey 356 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: produces about as many peaches as Georgia. So m hmm. Furthermore, um, 357 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: the peaches, the state fruit of Georgia, is also the 358 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: state fruit of South Carolina. Um. South Carolina sometimes bills 359 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: itself as the tastier peach state. And I'm just like like, like, dang, 360 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: that peach tree is shady like dock lay up. I 361 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: am outraged and offended. Yeah, any time I get to 362 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: try a Southern accent, like a real Southern accent fun times, Well, no, 363 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: that's not a real Southern accent at all. What I 364 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: mean is the cartoon in Southern accent? Yes, yes, yes, yes, 365 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: I saw. I remember this from a couple of years ago. 366 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert, who was from South Carolina. They had a 367 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: whole rant about how South Carolina has more peaches and 368 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: you're better and they should be the peach state and 369 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: also don't get me started on marbecue. And I still 370 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: remember it's Stephen Colbert. I won't forget, is it. Are you? 371 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: Are you starting at grudge with Stephen Colbert right now? 372 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: There's been a grudge ever since stared Heck, well that's right, 373 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert. I'm coming for you. Then, I'm going to 374 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: bring peaches and we'll see what settle this. Oh I will, 375 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: I guess bless both our hearts because I guess, I'm 376 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: I guess I'm obligated to be like your second here 377 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: for this, for this peach battle. Um, I love it. 378 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: I love it. I'm sorry that I am so rash 379 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 1: and outraged over things that are pretty meaningless. Well, um uh, 380 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: while I think about the trouble that you've just gotten 381 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: both of us into. Um, you know, we're we're gonna 382 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna get some history for you in a minute. 383 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: But first we're gonna take a gonna take a quick 384 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: break for a word from our sponsors, and we're back. 385 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: Thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you. So. Peaches the peach 386 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: was a most likely domesticated in China all the way 387 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: back in one thousand BC, and from there merchants and 388 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: travelers carried peaches west on the Silk Road to Persia, 389 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: where they where they grew quite well, and they are 390 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: still a bountiful crop in modern day Iran. Yes, and 391 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: after Alexander the Great encountered peaches there, he brought some 392 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: back with him to Greece. Peaches were being grown in 393 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: Greece by b and they were being sold in Rome 394 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: by fifty b C, where they were called Persian apples. 395 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: The Romans spread peaches throughout Europe with their empire um 396 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: and that botanical name that I mentioned, Prinus persica, comes 397 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: from this association with Persia. The name peach itself also 398 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: derives from the same association. Um. The Latin persicum and 399 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: Greek Persican became pesca in medieval Latin, and then pesh 400 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: in Old French. Huh. Interesting, it's kind of close to 401 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: the word for fish. That makes me want to do 402 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: further research. Chinese farmers wrote of the best growing practices 403 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: four peaches in the sixth century see including the use 404 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: of torches to keep insects away during lunar New Year, 405 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: and a bunch of other things. A lot of things, 406 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: but that was the most interesting one to me personally. 407 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: In one thousand CE, over thirty peach cultivars were documented 408 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: in that country. Sometime in the fifteen hundreds, Wound Changan 409 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: wrote Journey to the West, in which a character named 410 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: Monkey King eats the peaches of Immortality from the peach 411 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: garden of the Heavenly Queen Mother, and perhaps because of this, 412 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: in China, the peach is sometimes a symbol of immortality, 413 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: and the tree itself sometimes is viewed as a tree 414 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: of life. Peaches are also sometimes given to older folks 415 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: who wish them long life. And according to some things 416 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: I read, brides might carry peach blossoms at weddings. So 417 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: please right in if that is true. Uh oh, that 418 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: would be a lovely addition to a to a wedding 419 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: bookcase certainly. And and also I wanted to do a 420 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: side note here. Journey to the West is um if 421 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: if you have not heard of it or read any 422 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: of it, it's this. It's this epic story, um that 423 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: a lot of other tales are based on, like for example, 424 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: Dragon ball Z what yeah, yep uh Guku is is 425 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: the monkey king character? Yeah, A bunch of a bunch 426 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: of anime like Sayuki was based on Journey to the West. Um. 427 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of amazing translations and iterations of it. 428 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: So definitely definitely looked that up if you if you 429 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: never have, it's a it's a great, great, great little 430 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: bit of storytelling. I have such fond memories of being 431 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: in elementary school and me and my next through neighbor 432 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: would get home from school and Dragon ball Z would 433 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: come on and we call each other on the phone 434 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: and we would watch it together. But we would get 435 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: increasingly annoyed every time because Dragon ball Z infamously, at 436 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: least in the United States, was probably twenty minutes recap 437 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: and ten minutes new stuff. So we would be on 438 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: the phone like come on, yeah, we know, get to it. 439 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: And we did it every day. It was so fun. 440 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: I had a great, great time. I don't have a 441 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: lot of experience with the property, but I understand that 442 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: it's big. Yes. Yes, we went to that Dragon ball 443 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 1: Z themed flush show right in Orlando. Awesome. That was awesome. 444 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: That was a really good fun um. Yeah, and there 445 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: was that like kid dressed as Goku there. Baby, it 446 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: was so cute. That was Oh that was great. Um 447 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: at any rate. Peaches um. By the twelve hundreds, the 448 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: surname peach Head showed up in Europe, and sometime around hundreds, 449 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: the word peach was sometimes used as a verb to 450 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: me um to inform against or betray one's accomplices. Although 451 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: this does not come from the fruit um, it's it's 452 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: a it's from variants of the word impeach, which itself 453 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: is from a whole separate route um the Latin petica 454 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: meaning like a shackle and coming from the root pad 455 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: for for foot. Though interestingly both peach the fruit and 456 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: impeach the verb. We're entering English around the same time 457 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: and like the thirteen to fourteen hundreds, So I wonder 458 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: if there was just some like like cross pollination there. 459 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: I would never peach against you, Lauren, all we neither 460 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: against you, see any Yeah. In the fifty hundreds, peaches 461 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: made their way to North America, with Spanish monks settling 462 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: in the St. Augustine area in Florida. Because the seeds 463 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,719 Speaker 1: are hardy and easy to transport in the pits um, 464 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: they spread relatively quickly. In the South. Peach trees were 465 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 1: common around Jamestown, Virginia. By seven. John Lawson, who was 466 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: a British explorer naturalist, wrote about peaches and quote, they 467 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: make our land a wilderness of peach trees. And he 468 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: was particularly referring to all of the peach trees he 469 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: saw and all of the fruit on them in the Carolinas. 470 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and this is a this is a common 471 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: issue with with peach farming. Actually that um that peach 472 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: trees will put off so much fruit. Um that that 473 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: you really you really have to print it back. Um 474 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: a if you want to get the best peaches out 475 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: of the deal. Because um, as with many kinds of 476 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: fruit trees, if you just let them kind of grow 477 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: willy nilly, um, you're you're they're they're going to be 478 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: growing more for the seeds than for the quality of 479 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: the fruit. So cutting back will let them really develop 480 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: the biggest juiciest fruits possible. Um. But but be in 481 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: the case of peaches, they will grow so many heavy 482 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: fruits that you'll just have branches breaking off by the 483 00:31:54,560 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: end of growing season. Yeah. Yeah. By the end of 484 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds, the word peach could be used to 485 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: mean an attractive lady human um Uh. The usage of 486 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: this would would morph to mean a good person in general, like, 487 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: oh what a peachum by the end of the eighteen hundreds. 488 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: Raphael Moses often gets the credit for being the first 489 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 1: to market peaches in Georgia in eighteen fifty one. He 490 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: also often gets the credit for being the first to 491 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: market them outside of Georgia, pioneering away for safely shipping 492 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: peaches in Champagne baskets. Peaches were shipped up to New 493 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: York from the port of Savannah between eighteen fifty eight 494 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: to eighteen sixty. Yeah. This this would have been the 495 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: start of around the time when um, when refrigeration and 496 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 1: and ice were starting to come up the technologies for those. Sure. Yeah. 497 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: And we have a Belgian father and son duo Louis 498 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: and Prosper berkman Um And they brought an orchard in 499 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: August of Georgia and named it fruit Land. I know, 500 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: I think they named it. The other people might have 501 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: named it that, but any case, it's called Fruitland eventually 502 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: pretty same after it was erected, and their goal was 503 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: to demonstrate that fruit could be an important crop in 504 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: the South and a potential replacement for cotton, which was 505 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: very detrimental for the soil when you think about just 506 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: growing it over and over. Um. In the eighteen fifties, 507 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: a group of horticulturists started experimenting with selective breeding of 508 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: fruits like grapes, pears, and peaches in an effort to 509 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: create a strong fruit economy in the South. The Alberta 510 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: peach was their biggest success story. It's texture and long 511 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: lasting flavor allowed for it to be shipped all across 512 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: the country with less ice needed. After Samuel Rump debuted 513 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,600 Speaker 1: in the eighteen seventies, which it was named after his wife. 514 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: By the way, the number of peach trees in the 515 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: South went up by five times from eighteen eighty eight 516 00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: to nineteen four. Rump was also integ role and finding 517 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: ways to ship peaches more effectively, and because of all this, 518 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,280 Speaker 1: Romp is sometimes known as the father of the Georgia 519 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: peach industry Georgia peach Southern accent, you elude me every time. 520 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: By the eighties, Fruitland was sending twenty five thousand catalogs 521 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: across the United States. The peach industry also took advantage 522 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: of the newly available labor after the Civil War, a 523 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: time when the South was looking to rebrand itself and 524 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: pivoting away from cotton, which was a crop associated with 525 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: slavery and poverty, to fruit instead. Was a part of that. 526 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,720 Speaker 1: Because the successful growing of peaches often depended on brushing 527 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: up on some literature, peach growing was viewed as refined. 528 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: I saw some old articles even referred to it as European. Okay, Indeed, 529 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: they were also expensive. Peaches were me that labor force 530 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: largely made up of black people making the peach industry 531 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: run could not afford them. On top of that, peach 532 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: orchards typically didn't make a profit for the first three 533 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,320 Speaker 1: or four years, meaning that many newly freed Black Americans 534 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 1: could not afford to start their own orchards. Yeah. Um 535 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: and wrapped up in and all of this um, we 536 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: also get the descriptive term peaches and cream um, which 537 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,959 Speaker 1: refers positively to u to pale complexions. Around the turn 538 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: of the twentieth century, rights from to Nix girls out 539 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: of peach growing hub Fort Valley, Georgia hosted peach blossom 540 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: festivals and these were essentially marketing events that boasted and 541 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: perhaps exaggerated about the peaches prominence in that area. There 542 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: was a barbecue parade, they were speakers from members of Congress, 543 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: they were governors speaking the agent. It was a big 544 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: to do. One year, yes, one year they had a 545 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: camel and National Geographic reported on it. They reported on it. 546 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: Why not sure? I suppose? Um? Another year, the pageant 547 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: queen or a dress belonging to actress Mary Pickford valued 548 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: at over thirty dollars. What attendees came from all over 549 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: and some estimates put the crowd at around twenty thousand people, 550 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 1: flooding into the town's population of four thousand people. While 551 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: something's changed from year to year, there was always a 552 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: play that told the story of the Peach in the 553 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,959 Speaker 1: form of a young woman who searched the world for home. 554 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: She went all over until she finally found it in Georgia, 555 00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: one true forever home. Uh huh, okay, yes yes. At 556 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: the time, Fort Valley was pushing to be the home 557 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: of the new Peach County, which they eventually were able 558 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: to successfully do, making it George's sixty one and final county, 559 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 1: and these festivals were instrumental in solidifying the largely untrue 560 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: and at the very least extremely glossed over narrative of 561 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: the Georgia Peach. Yes, yeah, Yeah. Georgia was marketed as 562 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: being the Peach State um as early as n and 563 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: along with all of this, the historically black college Fort 564 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:43,000 Speaker 1: Valley State University was created primarily to educate black students 565 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,440 Speaker 1: about working in peach orchards. The school went on to 566 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: become significant to the civil rights movement in that area. 567 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: The peach industry in the South has gone through several 568 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 1: rough patches, past brown rot peach tree short life which 569 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: I leave is uh, peach trees dying within two years 570 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: before they've really Yeah, and that was a big problem. 571 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: In the nineteen sixties. To combat this, grower successfully campaigned 572 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: for a new peach lab in Byron, Georgia, with the 573 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,839 Speaker 1: help of Senator and Chair of the Subcommittee on Agricultural 574 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:22,399 Speaker 1: Appropriations Richard B. Russell Jr. The growers argued that not 575 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 1: only would the research be good for boosting peach growth, 576 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: it would also be informative and growing other fruit in 577 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: the South and providing for jobs for black Southerners and 578 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: in their words, keeping them from quote already crowded offices 579 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: of our welfare agencies. Yeah. This was also during the 580 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: Civil Rights movement, when black growers were calling for equal rights. 581 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,880 Speaker 1: Coupled with the population shift in the South from rural 582 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,239 Speaker 1: areas to cities, the peach industry's previous use of and 583 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: reliance on systemic discrimination became abundantly clear. But alright, hard 584 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: pivot Um James and the Giant Peach was published in 585 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: and the movie came out in Forever Haunted My Dreams. 586 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: I have not seen it since, but I've learned it 587 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 1: is on Disney Plus and I think I'm gonna see 588 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: what happens when I watch it. Okay, I think you should. 589 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: It's all right, it's it's pretty, it's pretty great. I 590 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: mean it does have some some heck in animation, but alright, alright, 591 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: heck in animation. And speak of animation, I guess Princess 592 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: Peach first appeared in Super Mario Brothers in and yes, 593 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 1: this is a food show. But I really must read 594 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: this quote about their relationship, The relationship of Mario and 595 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: Princess Peach, Yes, from James McMahon's UM Games Raider article. 596 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: The quote goes as follows, should we really be encouraging 597 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: the union of Mario and Peach? Anyway? Remember this is 598 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: a man with side gigs as a doctor, a carpenter, 599 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: a pro cart driver, and an archaeologist. Unless we forget 600 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 1: he regularly competes at the Olympic Games. What chance of 601 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,479 Speaker 1: a healthy relationship. And for all the work Mario puts 602 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: into saving Peach, he rarely sees anything of the reward. 603 00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: Maybe Peach is just me. Yeah, she'll give Mario a 604 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: kiss on the nose. Sometimes she'll take him a cake. 605 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: But let us not forget that Princess peach is the 606 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: Toultarian ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom. Can she not put 607 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: a knighthood in his way some other title? Can she 608 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 1: not stretch to one evening on her the kingdom's nearest 609 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: pizza express.

So if you're nerds 611 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: like us, go check it out. Share.

Booh no, 620 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: I won't stand for what I say again. Um uh. 621 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: Due to climate change, peach production has really been influx 622 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 1: around the world over the past couple of decades um, 623 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: with some really previously steady farms producing less and some 624 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: traditionally less successful regions producing a lot more. Um. But 625 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: the overall value of peaches has been on the rise, 626 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: and we must end with a very very important note 627 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 1: about the peach emoji. Yes, another another emoji ending? Cool? Yeah, 628 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,320 Speaker 1: I mean it. Yes, Surprisingly, we get to talk about 629 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: emojis more often than I could have ever imagined on 630 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 1: this show. So yes. The peach emoji, sometimes called the 631 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: butt emoji, was introduced in and if you will allow me, 632 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 1: I would love to read this entry from dictionary dot com. 633 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: And I love I love the dictionaries. Some some dictionaries 634 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: are including information about emoji and these are modern times. 635 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 1: That's great. Oh yeah, mictionary dot com has a whole 636 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: section of emoji definition. So it's part of our language. Yeah, okay, okay, 637 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,080 Speaker 1: go go ahead, please all right. Officially called the peach emoji, 638 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,879 Speaker 1: the butt emoji was first introduced in under Unicode six 639 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 1: point oh as it's fuzzy, cleft appearance looks like a plumperrand. 640 00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: The peach emoji quickly became to stand for buttocks on 641 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: social media and in text messages, especially a woman's in 642 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: sexual context. In Apple released an updated version of the 643 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: peach emoji that resembled the fruit more than the anatomy, 644 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:15,279 Speaker 1: but the change was met with such popular uproar that 645 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 1: the company reverted to its original design. Oh my gosh, 646 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,279 Speaker 1: that's so great. I love that so much. Oh wow. Yes. 647 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: And also recently there was the impeach emoji with Donald 648 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 1: Trump's impeachment and it came to stand for resistance and 649 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: there's an entry on on that as well in dictionary 650 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: dot com. So the peach emoji has got a lot 651 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 1: going on it, does it certainly does? M hm huh, 652 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: I mean much much like the word peach itself, um, 653 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: and and the fruit itself. Sure, all around what's going on? 654 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: But but we we have said pretty much what we 655 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: have to say about it. Today. We do have some 656 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 1: listener mail for you, but first we've got one more 657 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:14,879 Speaker 1: quick break for a word from our sponsor, and we're back. 658 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, sponsor, Yes, thank you, and we're back with 659 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:27,359 Speaker 1: lin Man.

Is delightful and we 664 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,720 Speaker 1: can all use a bit of delighting nowadays. Furthermore, Atlanta 665 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,439 Speaker 1: zoo had a panda named po after the aforementioned Kung 666 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 1: Fu panda. I think the Dreamwork Studio donated money for 667 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,719 Speaker 1: the naming rights, but it's for a good cause. With 668 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,720 Speaker 1: such connections, how could you not watch the movie? I agree. 669 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: As a child, I lived near the Beijing Zoo, and 670 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,399 Speaker 1: whenever relatives visiting from out of town, we're jazzed about 671 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: taking the kids to see the pandas I would be 672 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: all confused, like, what's the big deal? We see them 673 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: once a month, or your panta's where you live. One 674 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: of those visits, a cousin saw a golden pheasant and 675 00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:23,959 Speaker 1: wondered aloud whether a bird's pretty would taste good. Yeah, 676 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:30,920 Speaker 1: that's one of my um favorite memories from China. I 677 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,520 Speaker 1: have a similar memory from India actually, but I was 678 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 1: driving to a school on the highway and panda just 679 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: crossed to cross like both lines of traffic. The million 680 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: just kind of just strolled right on, just like okay, 681 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: like you do. Had So he found some bamboo, was 682 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 1: eating it in one of the lanes, and we were 683 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: all just kind of like chilling, and then he went 684 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:55,040 Speaker 1: he turned around in the other direction. We're like, okay, 685 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: are you going that way and then he turned back around. 686 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: We said, okay, he out for quite a bit, just 687 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 1: taking this pand of time. Yeah, sure, sure, and then yeah, 688 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,600 Speaker 1: chong Do. I went to chong Do and there's so 689 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: many pandas there, and my brain sort of I was like, no, 690 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,920 Speaker 1: this can't be. I've never seen as many pandas in 691 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: real life before. Yeah. Uh um. And and I for 692 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 1: for the record, I don't have any kind of resistance 693 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: to watching Comfy Panda. It's it's on our we have 694 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 1: movie nights sometimes, the Savor team, and it's on our list. Uh. 695 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 1: I just haven't. I just haven't yet. I haven't yet. 696 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,239 Speaker 1: It's very open to the idea, working working towards it. Absolutely, 697 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: It's very sweet. And the peach scene, the peach tree 698 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:52,560 Speaker 1: scene is very sweet. Okay, all right, all right heck um. 699 00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,400 Speaker 1: Stephanie wrote, I was so excited to see your episode 700 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,359 Speaker 1: on a Regano. I just wish you had come out 701 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: a few years ago. I'm originally from a Mexican was 702 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,200 Speaker 1: holding California and grew up eating loads of oregano in 703 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: soups and stews marinates. It was one of my mom's 704 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,920 Speaker 1: core flavorings. I moved to the UK in and missed 705 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: nice Mexican food, but I was a lazy student who 706 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 1: couldn't cook, so I ate frozen pizzas and didn't think 707 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 1: much about it. A bit over a year in I 708 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,480 Speaker 1: got really homesick and bought the stuff to make a 709 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,360 Speaker 1: vegetarian version of my mom's favorite soup veggies, stock oregano, 710 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: some other seasonings, but it just didn't taste right. I 711 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,040 Speaker 1: chucked it up to being a bad cook, but even 712 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,839 Speaker 1: over the years, as my cooking has greatly improved, it 713 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,719 Speaker 1: never tastes quite right. I was talking to my mom 714 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago and complained again that my food 715 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,359 Speaker 1: didn't taste right, and she finally explained that I'm most 716 00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:47,320 Speaker 1: likely using Greek oregano rather than Mexican. I thought having 717 00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,280 Speaker 1: to learn a new word for cilantro and zucchini was confusing, 718 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: but now there's different oregano's. I've just ordered ten ounces 719 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: of Mexican oregano from my favorite online Mexican chop, which 720 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a lot but apparently a very freezer bag, 721 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: so I'll be having a lot of Mexican food this summer. Anyway. 722 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,320 Speaker 1: I finally had an excuse to share my silly misunderstanding. 723 00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: And I hope you're keeping safe and thank you for 724 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: keeping me entertained and hungry to announced.
