1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Guess what mango was that well, so obviously we both

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: heard that a bouquet of roses means love and yellow

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: flowers means friendship. But there was one I had not

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: heard about. Have you ever heard that sending a basil

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: plant to someone apparently means I hate you? No, I mean,

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: my wife actually gets me a new basil plant every spring.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: I thought it was because I like it on pizza.

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: And uh, actually, you know, my my daughter actually named

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the last plant basie and oh bazy the basil plant.

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: That's great. Well, if you were more skilled in the

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: art of floriography, you might second guess that gift. And

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: supposedly the secret language started in the seventeen hundreds and

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: it was a way for women and harems to communicate

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: under the guards noses. And while that origin story might

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: be a little bit murky, the system did become really

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: popular in the eighteen hundreds, and so between eighteen twenty

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: seven and nineteen twenty three there were at least nine

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: different flower dictionaries published in the US alone five That's

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: that's crazy. But obviously now I know to watch out

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: for people bearing basil gifts. What what other flowers should

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: I be wary of, especially when you're married to them. Well,

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: there are lots of things. So according to Alice, obscura

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: hydranges mean you're heartless. Striped carnations mean a strong no

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: to any question you've just asked. I like just the

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: idea of having one on hand as your way of

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: saying no. And then let me see here, we've got

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: some others in a bouquet of oleander and bird's foot.

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: Trefoil means beware my revenge. And also don't pin any

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: white cartomines to your kid's clothing because that means paternal

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: error apparently. But anyway, this is just the first of

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: nine facts will be covering on today's show on flowers

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: and house plants, So let's dig in AI. Their podcast listeners,

33
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to Part Time Genius. I'm Will Pearson and as

34
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: always I'm joined by my good friend Manues Ticketer and

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: sitting behind the soundproof class talking to his house plant, Robert.

36
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: Why did you name it Robert again, Mango? I think

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: for Robert plant. Uh, he's so clever. Well, that's our

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Palin producer Tristan McNeil Nomengo. I know you mentioned that

39
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: you get a new basil plant every year or not?

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: Is that because you're bad with plants or what? Yeah?

41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Pretty much. I mean, my grandfather was a botanist and

42
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: my mom has like a wonderful green thumb, but somehow

43
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: it's skipped a generation. I'm just really forgetful about plants,

44
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: and I kill off the basil everything a year. But man,

45
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: I actually haven't done this yet, but I know they

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: are all these apps and smart phases that sort of

47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: remind you to check soil moisture and whatever and and

48
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: feed the plants and water them. But um, one thing

49
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I did find online was this Reddit site called take

50
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: care of My Plant? Have you actually heard of this? No?

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: What is it? Well? This is great because it's gonna

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: be my first fact. So basically, in two thousand and sixteen,

53
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: this renator named Tyler J would decide he was bad

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: at taking care of plants, and he decided to harness

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: the collective force of the Internet to help. Wow. Actually

56
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: that kind of reminds me of that little guy who

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: sold shares of himself online. You know, so you could

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: be a stockholder in him if he wanted to, and

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: he called himself a publicly owned company, you'd actually be

60
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: allowed to vote on things like whether he should get

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: a vasectum or not. Do you remember this? It's crazy

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: and actually his girlfriend was so infuriated by that. But

63
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean this is kind of similar. Every day the

64
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: thread would post like today's October eighteenth or whatever, and

65
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: then ask do you want to water the plant? And

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: there was this elaborate set up, but basically, if more

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: people voted yes than no, the plant who was named

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Jeff would get a shot of water. And it was

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: kind of brilliant, like people who wake up check the

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: threat every day places their vote. And then there was

71
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: a video camera on it as well. So has Jeff survived?

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many trolls I can't imagine, and

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: it has well, apparently it's undetermined. As of January two eighteen,

74
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: it was still alive, but barely, and uh, it wasn't

75
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: exactly the Internet's fault, and friendly Tyler had gone on

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: vacation and the pot of water that was like feeding

77
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: the supply had run dry, and uh, now he's actually moving,

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: so he's taken the project offline. But it's kind of sweet,

79
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: like the community is waiting for updates like anxiously, and

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: and uh, someone even tried to hijack the thread to

81
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: keep other plants alive appriendly. There's this plant named Gordon

82
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: that might be getting some internet love next, but it's

83
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: kind of a contentious issue. But what sort of fact

84
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: do you have next? I love that we've talked about

85
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: plants named Robert and Jeff and Gordon. This is pretty good,

86
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: But I've got a pretty simple in here. But it

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: kind of highlights why we should all have house plants,

88
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: and that's the fact that indoor plants can actually help

89
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: fight loneliness and depression. There was a two thousand fourteen

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: study that showed that the presence of plants in the

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: office actually increased workplace satisfaction, self reported levels of concentration,

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: and perceived air quality. And actually, on a related note,

93
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: Amazon recently unveiled an indoor rainforest of sorts in their

94
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: new building in downtown Seattle. It contains more than forty

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: thousand plants of four hundred different species for extra happiness.

96
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: I guess I love then I'd love to visit maybe

97
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, whenever they picked their second location. But uh here,

98
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: here's what I think you might like. So you know

99
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: how terrariums are kind of all the rage. Now, well,

100
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: our our researcher, Eaves, told me this. Apparently the first

101
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: terrarium was just like penicillin and some other grade inventions,

102
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: created accidentally. So it was by the scientist named Nathaniel

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Bagshaw Award. I've never heard of him before, but he'd

104
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: originally built glass boxes for caterpillars, you know, to watch

105
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: their metamorphosis. And this was way back in the eighteen twenties.

106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden he noticed that this fern

107
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: sport had started growing in the soil, and he was

108
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: fascinated because no one was tending to it. So he

109
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: started building larger glass cases in his house and y'all

110
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: hard and on his roof apparently, and his largest was

111
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: like two and a half meters long. And by eight

112
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: thirty six he'd actually published a book on it, called

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: on the Growth of Plants in Closely Glazed Cases title.

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: But apparently one of his firms that he used to

115
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: exhibit at shows hadn't been watered for eighteen years, and

116
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: for years people used to refer to terraneans actually as

117
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Wardian cases. I had not heard that before. Well, I've

118
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: got one here about one on the unintentional house plants.

119
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of that company called Lush. Yeah,

120
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: they make those super fancy soaps, right, yeah, that's right. Well,

121
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen, they made this bar called

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: Wicked Magic Muscles Bar, which had these massaging seeds in

123
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: it to fulliate your skin, I think, and there were

124
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: some sort of being but to the surprise of some people,

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: when the seeds got scraped off and lodged in little

126
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: cracks in the shower, they started sprouting these little plants.

127
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the only sort of plant I

128
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: could keep alive, like the kind you're not actually supposed

129
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: to have. Okay, So so here's the story. I think

130
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: it's funny. Have you heard about this album called Music

131
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: to Grow Plants? I haven't, so I really want to

132
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: hear it. Apparently, and this is from our friends of

133
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Atlas Obscure. The album was created by a dentist in

134
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy and it kind of lends smooth cocktail party

135
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: jazz with some really high pitched, irritating sounds between. It's

136
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: mostly it's really terrible. And I also can't imagine that

137
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: that actually works or does anything. Yeah, I mean, I'm

138
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: not sure it does either. I know plants do hear things.

139
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about this before on the show,

140
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: that plants have been known to bend towards water sources,

141
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Like if they hear the drips of a leaky pipe

142
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: and they're not getting fed, then they might wind towards that.

143
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Or if there's the sound of an insect chewing on them,

144
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: it can alert them to turn on their defenses. But

145
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: for the most part, scientists are pretty skeptical. I think

146
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: the thing I really liked about this was that the

147
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: dentist was insistent that this kept his plants lush and beautiful,

148
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: and he really didn't want it to be turned into

149
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: a novelty record, Like you didn't want this to be

150
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: like created as some sort of jokes. So his record

151
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: was only sold in flower shops and a few department stores.

152
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, all right. Well, here's a fact for

153
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: you about venus fly traps. Because I know Mango that

154
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: you love venus fly traps. Is it that you shouldn't

155
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: feed them hamburger meat? Well, that's definitely true. And so

156
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: while the greedy plant will gobble down the hamburger, its

157
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: system is built for bugs, not beef. So the burger

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: will actually harm the plant. But that wasn't my fact.

159
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: Got me a little side track there. I didn't know

160
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: this before this episode, but venus fly traps only grow

161
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: in the wild in North and South Carolina. In fact,

162
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: they're even the official state carnivorous plant in North Carolina.

163
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: Did you know there's the state carnivorous plants? Pretty great,

164
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: I had no idea. I also love that there's probably

165
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: some furious backup, right, like was the picture plant lobby

166
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: is super upset about it or furious plant venus fly

167
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: trops got the nod. Well, I don't know about that,

168
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: but but here is what's crazy. So in nineteen fifty six,

169
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: the states started protecting their favorite meeting plant, so you

170
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: actually have to get a permit if you want to

171
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: collect them from the land. And in fact, it's lucrative

172
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: enough that there's a whole world of families who poached

173
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: the plants as their main business. But in two thousand fourteen,

174
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: the state struck back and they upgraded the theft of

175
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: a fly trap from a misdemeanor to a felony. I'm

176
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: not kidding about this. And actually, in two thousand fifteen,

177
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: two men stole over a thousand plants and they were

178
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: thrown in jail with the bond said at one million dollars.

179
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: And apparently the Charlotte observers said they both had quote

180
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: plant related priors. That's amazing. So I had no idea

181
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: that they were so sought after, though I did know

182
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: that Thomas Jefferson was a huge fan of venus fly

183
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: traps and I had a lot of them around. But

184
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, just the idea of Thomas Jefferson feeding a

185
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: little plant like kind of makes me happy. Yeah, me too.

186
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's take a quick break and come

187
00:09:51,120 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: back with our final two facts. Welcome back to Parti'm genius.

188
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: We we're talking about house plants. So well, your wife's

189
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: a gardener and super into nature. Do you like the

190
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: garden to I mean, I love that we have a garden,

191
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: and I like being out there, and I like doing

192
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: things like digging when I'm told to dig. But I

193
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I wouldn't consider myself a gardener,

194
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: but I do like being out there, how about you.

195
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: Every time my family used to garden together, I would

196
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: find some excuse to come inside and make drinks like

197
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: lemonade for everyone. I just hated it. Although I love plants,

198
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: I gotta use that trick, all right, So what what

199
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: fact do we have to close this out? Mango? So

200
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: we talked a little about picture plants and venus fly

201
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: traps being surprisingly valuable. But did you know how lucrative

202
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: the bonds eye industry can be? No? Apparently, and this

203
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: comes from cockkey dot org. There's a World bonds Eye

204
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Championship every year. I think this was the eighth year

205
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: of it in two thousand seventeen, and uh it's considered

206
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: the Olympics of Bonzai. But the top tree last year

207
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: I went for nine thousand dollars. Can you imagine that?

208
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they are like little pieces of art, but

209
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: I cannot imagine almost a million dollars for a single one.

210
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot of money. But here's something

211
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: else that blew my mind. So even though the trees

212
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: are tiny, the fruit they grow is regular size. So

213
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: there are actually pictures online of like a single apple

214
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: growing from a six inch tall tree. It's insane. Wow,

215
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: that is insane. All right. Well, here's my final fact,

216
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: and I think you might like this. So have you

217
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: heard of gilded fertilizer? Guilded fertilizer. Yeah, so this is

218
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: a luxury product that comes from an organic goat farm

219
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: in Switzerland, and it's basically golden manure nuggets or what

220
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: they're marketing as they call it elegant manure. And it's

221
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: super expensive. So for fifty dollars, you get a tiny

222
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: vial of gold dusted nuggets stacked on a stick. Then

223
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: you can just pop it into a house plant and

224
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: it looks super modern and beautiful, but it actually also works,

225
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: And if I'm being honest, I think they could probably

226
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: sell really well. I mean, I thought I was going

227
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: to clinch this with my big fruit, tiny tree fag.

228
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: But you know the fact that people aren't just making

229
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: golden manure but selling at it a high price, like

230
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: it's just too good. It's really kind of genius. It's

231
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: pretty smart. Well, thanks for the victory this week, and

232
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: thank you guys for listening. We'll be back with a

233
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: full length episode tomorrow
