1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff you Should Know from house Stuff Works

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark.

3
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant, which makes this Stuff you

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: Should Know podcast. I don't think I should love us

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: see finished please, um, because of that horrible house fire.

6
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: It's good, but it's not quite poetry. What was it?

7
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: I don't think I shall ever see something so beautiful

8
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: as a tree? Is that right? A poem is beautiful

9
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: as a tree? Is it a poem? Okay? Yeah, which

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: is really something because what was that Longfellow or Whitman?

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Now I want to say, like Joyce Carol Oates, No, no, no, no,

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: we should look this up. Okay, well, while you're looking

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: it up, that's really saying something because insert poet's name here.

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Um really was taking his own craft to task and

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: appreciated his or her own task. And it was still

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: saying that a tree is lovelier than any poem, which

17
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: is a real oded nature. So I said, Joyce Carol Oates,

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: but I was in fact wrong. It was in fact

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: Joyce Kilmer, who was a dude. I thought for sure

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: it was like Longfellower. Huh boy, he is a it's

21
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: a mama's boy if I've ever seen one right there,

22
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: right poems about trees? What he expect? Well, that's a

23
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: great line. Yeah. Uh so we botched that one all

24
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: over the place. Yeah we did, but we're not going

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to start over. It's okay. This isn't a poetry slam.

26
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: This is stuff you should know that. We would never

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: slam poetry. Um. Instead, we would spend our time, as

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: is our want, promoting trees, talking about trees and how

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: great they are. And u uh Val Kilmer his great grandfather,

30
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Joyce Joyce Kilmer. Uh, he kind of had it dead on,

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: because trees are not only beautiful, there are um functional

32
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and as uh, either Longfellow or Whitman said, nothing can

33
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: ever truly be beautiful unless it's also functional. Oh yeah,

34
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: they didn't really say that. Somebody said it. Uh. And

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: you know, we live in Atlanta, Georgia for those of

36
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: you don't know, and we basically live in the middle

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: of a forest. If you ever go up on the

38
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: building here or any building in Atlanta and you think

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: you're in like downtown or midtown, you just take a

40
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: look out there and you realize, man, there are trees everywhere.

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of trees, and people that are from

42
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: like the West or other places where they or not

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: as foresty come to the Deep South. Sometimes they're like, wow,

44
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, so in the middle of the forest. It's

45
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: a city in the forest. Yeah, and it's pretty nice.

46
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: It's nice. Nice living up and down the East coast's

47
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: kind of like that, right, um, And we actually live

48
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: in a temperate, deciduous hardwood forest area. Nice, look at

49
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: you from what I understand. Although there's a lot of

50
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: pine trees too, there's those Georgia pines. Yeah, that's true.

51
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: I may be incorrect, coniferous. Well, here's the deal with forest. Um.

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: The author of this I take slight issue of our

53
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: planet is is forest land? And she says it's mostly

54
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: concentrated in ten countries the US, Canada, Russia, Sorry, Russian Federation, Brazil, China, Australia,

55
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: Democratic Republic of Congo, Indonesia, Peru, and India. Great, but

56
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: no mention of like Europe, Uh, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Norway,

57
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: like serious forest going on? There is there enough? I mean,

58
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I know there's the black forest in Germany. Yeah, like

59
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: the boreal forest basically ten degrees above or below the equator,

60
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna have rainforest, and then between roughly like fifty

61
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: and seventy ish degrees. Uh, you're gonna have boreal forest,

62
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: which is like Europe and Canada and Russia, and you know,

63
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: it's like a serious stents forest. And she didn't mention

64
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Europe at all. Those are the northern climes forests. Yeah,

65
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: we're talking coniferous pine, spruce, birch, beautiful, beautiful trees. And Canada,

66
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: of course America is at is lousy with trees. Yeah,

67
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of trees there. It's like Atlanta. One

68
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: point five million square miles of forest land in Canada, right,

69
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: so they got it going on up there. It's and

70
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: that that sounds like a lot, and it is, but

71
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: it's still it's alarming to consider that we lose about um,

72
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: thirteen million hectears heck tear is I think one point

73
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: five acres? Is it? I believe? Uh, well, I do

74
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 1: know that only I'm sorry, I'm not getting one more

75
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: thing wrong in this episode. You go ahead, and I

76
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: do know that only one I'm sorry. Only roughly of

77
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: the Earth's original forest land is still intact today. So

78
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: over the years has been lost due too, things man

79
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: made and things natural. And apparently we lose an amount

80
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: of forests that's about the size of grease every year.

81
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: So we need Canada. We need Canada's trees. Yeah, and

82
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: you know there are things like forest fires, disease insects,

83
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: competition between species, acid rain, things like that happen. Of course,

84
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: that one is actually man made. And then there's things

85
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: like logging and slash and burn practices, just when you

86
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: cut down trees and burn them to create a field.

87
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Uh so those are things that man is doing to

88
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: make trees go by by man and nature are conspiring

89
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: to rid us of trees, which we need. And the

90
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: hectare by the way over two acres. Yeah, we'll look

91
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: at that in choke corrections for the first time. All right, So, Chuck,

92
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: everybody loves trees, not the least of whom would be

93
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Joyce Kilmer. But we like them too, We like having

94
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: them around, and they actually serve a little bit more

95
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: of a function than you would think. Yeah, apparently it's

96
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: not just oh they give us oxygen, which is what

97
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: everyone thinks, which is great. They actually can affect the climate,

98
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: and the climate is defined as a period of weather

99
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: patterns in a localized area over about a thirty year

100
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: at least stretch. I think not many people realize that

101
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: everything else is just weather, yeah, you know, anything under that,

102
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: although I imagine when you start getting into yeah, they'll

103
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: be like, okay, alright, that's climate. Fine, that is true,

104
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: and our planet is warming. We're not going to get

105
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: into the whole rigamarole of global warming and all that entails,

106
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: although we should do that in earnest one day. But

107
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: the climate is warming here on the planet, and it

108
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: is heating up by about one to one and a

109
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: half degrees per years, or at least over the past century. Yeah,

110
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: And I mean that's an important qualifier too, because it

111
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: wasn't supposedly until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, starting

112
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: around eighteen thirty that um after that we started to

113
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: see temperatures rise thanks to global warming. So the fact

114
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: that it rose by one to one and a half

115
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: degrees in a century, that's significant, even though it doesn't

116
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: seem like much, not to us. You can breathe into

117
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: your hands and raise the the weather around your face,

118
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: um by more than just one degree. Also be foggy, yeah,

119
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, and a little smelly, depending on you know,

120
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: So how can trees affect our climate? Really three main ways? Right, yes? So, Uh,

121
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: the first is to um lower temperatures, which is something

122
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: they do themselves. Uh. Next, they reduce energy usage, which

123
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: is a new phenomenon for trees because we've only had

124
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: like air conditioning for fifties sixty seventy years. But it's

125
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: a new gift that trees give us. And then, um,

126
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: they actually remove air pollutants, which is pretty awesome. All right,

127
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: So let's start with the first one. They lower temperatures.

128
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: They act as a natural air conditioner for the world

129
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: in a way through a process called evapo transporation, no

130
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: huge shock. That is a mix of uh, not a mix,

131
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: but both things going on at the same time. Evaporation

132
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: and transporation, both of which released moisture into the air

133
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: one by way of drawing water from lakes. And we

134
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: talked about in our clouds episode. U's how we eventually

135
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: get clouds. And then transporation is when trees pull up

136
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: water through the roots, work its way up through the tree,

137
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: and then eventually leave from the leaves. Right, And we

138
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: don't actually see like after like a heavy rain in

139
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: the summer, you can see the evaporation going on. Yeah. Um,

140
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: and probably what you're seeing off of the trees is

141
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: actually evaporation off of the leaves transparations of invisible but

142
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: over like the course of a year. Um, a large

143
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: oak tree supposedly can transpire about forty gallons of water.

144
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: That is crazy, that's a lot. Yeah. So they come,

145
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: they bring up all the nutrients through the water, they

146
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: take what they can pee it out their leaves into

147
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: the atmosphere as vapor, not as urine right now. But

148
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: since that's going on, especially when it's going on at

149
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: the same time as evaporation, it produces water vapor and

150
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: it can actually decrease the temperature. That's right. Uh. And

151
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: like you said it, you know, a big thing now

152
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: and it's not now. Actually, that's the funny thing. A

153
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: lot of things that people do now to be green

154
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: are things people did many years ago as just a

155
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: way of life. Homesteaders. Yeah, Like Emily's grandmother and actually

156
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: my grandmother too, they were like, you know, they composted

157
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: and did all that stuff because it was a way

158
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: of life and they didn't have trash pick up homesteaders. Yeah,

159
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: and now we're like, oh, yeah, I composts like, big deal,

160
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: that's nothing new. I mean, it is a big deal.

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: You should do stuff like that. But you know what

162
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, people like nowadays think they invented the green

163
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: movement when it was our forefathers really and mothers. Yeah,

164
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: I guess just as long as you're not like burning trash,

165
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: yeah you're doing good. So what led me on that

166
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: mini rant against our people of this age is that

167
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: passive heating and cooling is a big thing now, but

168
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: it was a big thing way back when because before

169
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: they had air conditioners and things, they would, you know,

170
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: plant trees where it made the most sense. Are not

171
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: plant trees, but plant houses between trees where it just

172
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: to grow where it made the most sense. So like

173
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: they say, I think a tree to the north of

174
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: your house, in the south of the house can cut

175
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: down on your energy expenses by how much. Well, a

176
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: heating costs two day percent and cooling costs by And

177
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: you want to plant one at least one tree to

178
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the west and one treat to the south. Deciduous trees, yes,

179
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: that's the key. If you plant a big old magnolia tree,

180
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be like want, want, want, because while it'll

181
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: cool your house in the summer by keeping some sunlight

182
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: off of conjecting shade. In the winter time, it will

183
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: still keep sunlight off of it. With a deciduous tree,

184
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: they lose their leaves so the sun shines through the

185
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: branches to in the wintertime, So it cools your house

186
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: in the summer by producing shade, warms your house in

187
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: the winter by lightning the sunlight through. Yeah. And I

188
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: love magnolia trees, but boy, you ever had one on

189
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: your property, it's a pain. Waxy leaves that don't disintegrate

190
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: ever or by degrade, they just are there. And then

191
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: those grenades, which were great as a kid when you

192
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: played war, but they're not so great when they're all

193
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: over your yard. Uh. And then pine trees, which I

194
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: love to look at as well here in Georgia, they're

195
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: also a big pain. Yeah, they can be. Yeah, but

196
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: they well, yeah, they don't lose their leaves on an

197
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: annual cycle. They just lose them all the time. But

198
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: they're always they always have the needles, that's true. But

199
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: with the magnolia, though, you also get the lovely scented

200
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: flower and you can snip those off and put in

201
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: a little water bowl in your kitchen. It's like a

202
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: natural air freshener. So my neighbor has stead well, my

203
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: neighbor has a magnolia and one branch hangs over into

204
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: my yard, and so I will clip flowers, uh and

205
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: not really have to deal with much of the waxy leaves,

206
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: which is kind of the best of both worlds living

207
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the life man so so passive heating and cooling if

208
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: a transporation. That is a great thing that trees do.

209
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: And they can also help cut down on what's called

210
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: the heat island effect, which is bad in cities. Yeah,

211
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: we have that bad here. Um. So there's this thing

212
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: called the albedo effect right where if you are dark

213
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: colored wearing a dark shirt. You're wearing a black shirt

214
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: right now, that's right, you would be hotter in that

215
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: shirt than you would if you were wearing a white shirt. Why.

216
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. White shirts reflect sunlight. Black shirts

217
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: absorb sunlight and trap heat. Same thing with asphalt, same

218
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: thing with dark roof tops. And when you put all

219
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: this stuff together, it actually absorbs all this heat traps it.

220
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: And so when you're in a city, it's frequently much

221
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: harder by several several degrees than it is out in

222
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: the suburbs where you have more trees and lawns and

223
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: stuff like that that aren't going to absorb the heat

224
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: quite as much. Yeah. And I lived in Yuma, Arizona,

225
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: as you know, a lot of white cars in Uma, Yeah,

226
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: not a lot of black cars. And they actually have

227
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: I might have mentioned this before, they have like almost

228
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: carpet that they put on their dashboards and it's like

229
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: a thing. It's like fit to the car and it's

230
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: velcrowd on and it saves your dashboard. And they have

231
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: carpet on your dashboard. Yah, pretty much. And you go

232
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: to the video store at the time, this is you know,

233
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: they had video stores back then in the you know,

234
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: mid nineties, and they would have you know, melted video

235
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: cassettes on display because or like the ticketmaster tickets, like

236
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: don't leave them in your glove box or this will happen.

237
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: They catch fire. It looks like they caught fire, but

238
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: they it was just heat exposure. Is that the average

239
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: ticketmaster employee Okay, yeah, yeah, don't just pay a million

240
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: dollars for fees. Uh. So that's the heat all in

241
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: effect in Atlanta, um five to eight degrees hotter and

242
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: Phoenix in nineteen fifty it was six degrees warmer than

243
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: the nearby cass Grande Monument. I don't know why that's

244
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: that is, Oh, because in two thousand seven it was

245
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: fourteen degrees. Okay, I get it. Yeah, so it's getting

246
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: hotter in cities as urban sprawl and the black tops

247
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: of asphalt take over the world. Yeah, exactly. Phoenix isn't

248
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: exactly like a work, live, play, walkable community. It's pretty

249
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: dry v e right, or at least golf CARDI yeah, yeah,

250
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Well the same with Atlanta. So you've got sprawl which

251
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: is going to increase the urban heat island effect. Phoenix

252
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: is big, big time sprawl. Yes, but trees help counteract us.

253
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: They cut it down. They say, no more of this.

254
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: We're going to provide you passive energy savings and if

255
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: appo transpiration. And while we're at it, you know all

256
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: this horrible air that you're breathing, we're gonna filter it

257
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: for you. We're gonna throw that in as a bonus

258
00:14:55,160 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: included in the low price. Uh. They will filter dust, ozone,

259
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: carbon monoxide, other kinds of plutants, um and through photosynthesis

260
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: they actually remove CEO two, which is a greenhouse gas,

261
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: as we all know, they remove it and release oxygen instead,

262
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: and they can actually even store it. Yeah, they they

263
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: sequester it in the forest soil. And apparently that soil

264
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: depending on where you are thinking a deciduous temperate forest. Uh,

265
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: that's that carbon dioxide will be stored for anywhere from

266
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: ten thousand to a hundred thousand years. Yeah. I think

267
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: we talked about that. We talked about carbon sequestration before

268
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:45,359
Speaker 1: or um, what was it desertification? Desertification maybe or earthworms. Yeah,

269
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: we play in the dirt a lot. Yeah, the earthworm one,

270
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: that was a good one. That was a good one. Um.

271
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: So the trees are filtering out the air, but they

272
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: actually and this is a little known Ronald Reagan actually

273
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: once said trees pollute more than cars do any day

274
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: of the week, and he was not entirely wrong. Yeah.

275
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't quite get this. The photochemical smog okay, so um,

276
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: when it gets hot, trees have this volatile organic volatile

277
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: organic compounds, two of which are turpenes and isoprenes, okay,

278
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: and they give them off off of their leaves. It's

279
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: just like it's too hot, I gotta get rid of

280
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: my VOCs and is supremes in particular act as a catalyst.

281
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: They speed up um the breakdown by sunlight of of

282
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: nitrous oxides into ozone, and ozone is a big contributor

283
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: to small. So basically, when when the trees are like

284
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: giving off these volatile organic compounds, they're accelerating the production

285
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: of small indirectly, you know. So when you mix sunlight

286
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: photo with these chemicals photochemical smog, it's from the breakdown

287
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: of like um car exhaust into ozone, which scratches our

288
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: eyes and makes us a cheating it hard to breathe.

289
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: So we should cut down all the treats pretty much.

290
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: That's Ronald Reagan talk. No, of course not. And that

291
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: is that's like the one negative effect that we can find, right,

292
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: oh yeah, other than that trees, well, that and falling

293
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: on somebody or your house or something. Other than that.

294
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: Trees are great, right. That happens a lot Inlanta with

295
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: the heavy rains. Well, it does because we went through

296
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: a drought cycle where the roots all started to come

297
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: towards the surface, and then when you get a heavy rain,

298
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: the trees no longer planted like it was, and it

299
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: just tips over. Just the other day, another guy sitting

300
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: in his car. Man, they love talking about that on

301
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: the news, it'll be like crime, crime crime. Oh, tree

302
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: fell over, let's go cover that instead. That's that's the

303
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta News because the boy there's a lot. I don't

304
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: you watch the local news? Uh? Sometimes? Really? Yeah, I'll

305
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: see I'll see it, you know, out of the corner

306
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: of my I haven't watched the local news since I

307
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: was probably in high school. It's good on like the treadmill,

308
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: like when you can't hear anything. It's good for that.

309
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: When they're in front of the varsity interviewing somebody about

310
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: something important, a tree following over, what do you think

311
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: about this? Yeah, okay, so we're talking about global warming? Um,

312
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: can we actually plant trees and get more forest land?

313
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: He actually helped us out. That's how Pearl Jam used

314
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: to do to offset the carbon usage or emissions for

315
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: their tours. Did you know that they planted trees? Yeah.

316
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: They calculate like how much like their jets emitted, um,

317
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: like increcent greenhouse gas the CEO two I think specifically,

318
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: how much like the their fans cars emitted, like on

319
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: the way to the venue, like through for a whole tour,

320
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: and then they calculated and then like they would buy

321
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: an equal amount of trees or however much you know,

322
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: carbon a number of trees kid sequestion. That's how much

323
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: they got the offset their tour. And then al Gore

324
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: started doing it one I don't It was really close

325
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: to about the same time. Um, and everybody thought, this

326
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: is great, this is a great idea. Uh. But there's

327
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: a couple of problems with it. One, once you cut

328
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: down that tree, like that carbon is released in the

329
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: atmosphere prematurely. And then secondly they there was a two

330
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: thousand study seven study that said it depends on where

331
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: you put the tree. If you put in the tropics,

332
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: then it actually will cut down on global warming. Um,

333
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: because in the tropics, trees not only cool the place

334
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: the place by Evappo transporation, it's actually warm enough that

335
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: they produce clouds, which cool the rest of the earth.

336
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: It's like a cloud factory down there on the equator. Yeah.

337
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: We hit that in the rainforest podcast, right Okay. Um,

338
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: in the middle climates where we live, it's pretty much

339
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: a wash. If you plan a tree there for a

340
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: carbon offset, it's not going to really have a net effect.

341
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: If you go up to the borealis forests, which is

342
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: a term you taught me recently. Um, it actually can

343
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: contribute to the heating boreale for us, well, the Aurora boreal,

344
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: which is what I understand now. Um, it can contribute

345
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: to the heating of the planet because remember the albedo effect. Well,

346
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: up there, it's cold enough so that that green canopy

347
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: that's trapping sunlight and hence warmth, is actually going to

348
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: raise the temperature. So this cold climate, cold part of

349
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: the Earth that you used to balance out the overall

350
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: global temperature, if you plant trees up there, it'll warm it.

351
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Where was Pearl Jam planting trees? Do you know? I

352
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: don't know. Hey, we mentioned Ticketmaster too. They stuck it

353
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: to those guys. Yeah they did. Remember Eddie Vetter war

354
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: like that German World War two helmet and court really

355
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: Yeah he was not happy. Yeah. I saw a lot

356
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: of Pearl Jam shirts at that Sound Garden show last night. Yeah,

357
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: it was people. Uh, you know, it was great. And

358
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: my buddy ended up getting hooked up with V I. P.

359
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Seats because he knows the guy at the Tabernacle. So

360
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: we were literally like front row of the balcony. You're

361
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: right in the center. Um, but the setless man, they

362
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: gotta work on that. Oh really, Yeah, it's one of

363
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: those deals where I know, I don't I don't want

364
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: to complete nostalgia tour, But when you're coming back after

365
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: that long, no one wants to hear seven songs from

366
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: your new album. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying. Well,

367
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're trying to kick start your career again. Yeah, yeah,

368
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean there was a decided energy change in the

369
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: room when they were doing like a bad motor Finger

370
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 1: and screaming Life and Louder than Love, and then they

371
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: were doing whatever that new album is called, which I

372
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: don't care for, here Comes the Sunshine. Like everyone was

373
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: just kind of like, okay, another one of these, except

374
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: for like, you know, the drunk eighteen year old near me. Yeah,

375
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: this is the only song I've heard finally one I recognize.

376
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, good, he sounded great, man, he's amazing. Well,

377
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm just glad that Pearl Jam fans and Sound Garden

378
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: fans are apparently getting along now. Sure it was rough

379
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: there for a while. Yeah, and then you factoring Alison Chains,

380
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: it got really ugly. Go look it up kids music

381
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: of the nineties. You got anything else about stupid trees? No? Oh,

382
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: I do. I have another thing? So you remember the

383
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: two thousand seven study. I was just talking about where

384
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: I misused borealice a two thousand thirteen study this year. Yeah,

385
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: I said, you know what nuts to that nuts to

386
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. We have a computer model that says

387
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: that if we doubled the amount of forests, including boreal forests, um,

388
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: and especially I think boreal forest as soon as possible,

389
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: we would lower the global temperature by a full one

390
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: degree fahrenheight. So we would all set that twentieth century increase.

391
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: Possibly yeah for the last hundred years. That's crazy. Yeah,

392
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: and um, we would increase summer rains by ten to

393
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: fifteen percent all by wow. Yeah, well at the earliest.

394
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: But still so is there a plan in place or

395
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: was that just like we should do this? Somebody's like,

396
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: what can I do with a computer model today? Yeah?

397
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: All right, we'll good for them. Yeah, plan a tree.

398
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is a program in your community. We

399
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: can go out and uh sponsor a treat to be planted. Yeah,

400
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: but God help you if you plant one in the

401
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: northern clients because you're you're part of the problem. All right,

402
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: you got anything else? No, If you want to learn

403
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: more about trees and weather, type those two words into

404
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the search part how stuff works dot com And I said,

405
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: the search parts means it's time for a message break,

406
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: all right, listen to mail time. Great. I'm gonna call

407
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: this one hatty totty from the land of Cotton and

408
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: falk now because that was the subject line. And I

409
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, No, I'm still good. I'm

410
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: gonna ease it. Uh. And I just kind of like

411
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: the cut of this guy's jib. That's why I'm reading it. Um, guys,

412
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: the name is David Holbrook and I'm from a little

413
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: town of Waynesboro, Mississippi. I'm currently a senior in my

414
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: final semester at the University of Mississippi for my BEA

415
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: and political science. Go ReBs. Should we say that sec team? Um.

416
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: I also work part time in the parts department of

417
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: the local GMC dealership here in Oxford, and I'm a

418
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: bouncer on the weekends at one of the bars on

419
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: the famous Oxford Square. Boy, have you ever been there? Oxford?

420
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: A lot of fun? Yeah, great, college down. I'm a

421
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: huge fan and just found never found the gut to

422
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: write you guys until today. Um. I really enjoyed after

423
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: my third minute little yeah, I've put Panda paper. Um.

424
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed throwing around the knowledge I learned from

425
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: y'all in the workplace, although I sometimes think my co

426
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: workers get a little jealous and my girlfriend as well. Yeah,

427
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: I have to say one of my favorite things about

428
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: the show, I will admit this is really random, is

429
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: when Chuck whispers things at the end of sentences, which

430
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: he does a lot. I have no idea that was

431
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: a pretty poor example, but yeah, I agree. Um. I

432
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: always laughed so hard because sometimes it seems as though

433
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: Chuck does really not mean for us to hear those bits,

434
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: but he forgets he's in front of a mic. That

435
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: might be true. Um. I also really relate to you

436
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: all in the way this guy's a fraud. What did

437
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: he say? You all? Now I did? It's y'all, okay,

438
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: all right? He checks out. Really relate to y'all in

439
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: the way that it seems we have held many jobs

440
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: in our past that makes us well rounded people. Well,

441
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm rambling on with this nonsense will

442
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: continue with the fan mails and maybe with some filled

443
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: with more interesting and beneficial substance. Thank you from the

444
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: land of Cotton and William Faulton to David Holbrook Jr.

445
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: Random fact about me ps. I grew up on a

446
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: chicken farm. We have eight chicken houses with anyway of

447
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: from two d fifty to three hundred and fifty tho

448
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: chickens at one time in eight houses. That's what he said.

449
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: Those are big chicken. Yellow chicken outs are huge. Well

450
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: that's great. What's you think, David Holbrook Jr. Thank you.

451
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: Sure one day we will get a David Holbrook the third. Yeah,

452
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: we keep doing this long enough. Yeah, David Holbrook Jr.

453
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for writing in check. Did you

454
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: practice reagionail? No? And I kind of went back and

455
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,199
