Kindle the heart of progress Today you have to manage customer expectations and the lower wait times with IBM. You can do both. unifying data across clouds, helps you predict and address supply chain issues visit IBM I've come to learn more everybody its euro, pals, Josh and shocking. You will have the chance to see us live in person for the first time in two years, Friday January, when you first and San Francisco right shook the trees were returning to the stage sketch fest very excited about it. We can't wait to see every one. It is a fact only show bring your back. Scarred is a man SK only show bring that mask. Can't wait to see a third of your faces answer right. You can get tickets there s a sketch, best dot com and again Friday January,

twenty. First, seven thirty p M Sidney Goldstein Theatre in San Francisco, California, we will see you there welcome stuff? You should know a production of Iheart Radio pay more come into the pot guest. I'm Josh Clerk Loose Charles Debbie Cha Cha Cha collect Bryant, This can be a good one. I can tell by your nicknamed chuck, and this stuff should all the parties, the palm cast that also covered you ever in on your nose. It was off the cuff. That's, probably about his funny assistants, gonna, get there's no room for jokes him here, bite but shock. This is the time Take that I didn't know. I wanted to know more about a really. No idea when you see when you, when you threw out palm trees, palms

I genuinely was puzzled. Unlike I have to know what would trigger that cause. It's not something that you're walking I live round. palm trees, all the time they're all over the place and I've never stopped been like we should do in episode on palm tree. So what what caused it? I thought I told you no now so the indian very true, as I went to LOS Angeles, to go to a sales dinner. As you know, and there were bringing a bunch anew salespeople on board it I hard and they had a dinner. They had not met in person and they said hey, let's get a musket check out here. because you know just didn't: wanna go someday. So what about jested Iguana Justice Chuck, I believe now. I think they'd just didn't bother because you'd make a serious just come say: hi Often we were in a sales. People were picking my brain and being inquisitive in saying how do you get your topics? How do you get your tanks

and I literally, I said you know you just look world around you and they come to you and I looked outside in Santa Monica, and is it like palm trees? That could be an episode. and they said make ever than theirs, add sales impression mother. Why another talk like that? In fact, it's quite opposite. That salespeople are very smooth our I'm guessing, so I mean they saw heads for PETE's sake. so they they do said while really in Syria, and in fact I will do it, and I will dedicate this episode to add sales, Everybody wants to hear that bestowed on palm trees, data did the ad sales. That's right, we'll know they do a great job and they keep the showed nice and free for everybody. Oh that's right man. That is right hats off to the ad salespeople, this one's for you guys, but that is him about, is just the sort of an example of you just sort of look around times and I lived in

for quite a few years, as you know, and I loved palm trees, palm tree. My backyard knows I wait a minute, a lot of different kinds, and I wish anymore about him, and now I have a very on fine but guess absurd to do. I out it's fun and that its super scientists- and there is a lot to it- there's a lot of stuff that most people don't know. we're gonna imparted to him in a approachable me, ok yeah? wasn't his like exciting is I thought afterward? I was going. Ok, well, you know what about poor Dave ruse who helped us out with this one? I think Dave enjoys the stuff. Ok, I hope so palm trees, Charles and did you know this? Let's start with this, There are more than twenty five hundred different species of palm trees. Did you know that when you are wandering runaway no I knew there were quite a few, but I thought you know doesn't look. I sit there. Please continue to set

Did you know that palm trees are in no way shape or form actually should take that back. They are not actually trees as far as botanists are concerned, I definitely did not know that very nice and then lastly, Chuck. but is it really does the pig, crazy facts? Palm trees are not trees and that's a big one, because if you look at a palm tree, you say no tree, it's got. Bark very tall has leaves a kind of branch out from it. It's it's a treat, don't be ridiculous. In it again to a botanist. It's not a dream. We're going to get very, very detailed, two, why it's not actually a tree, but it helps. If you understand this, if you just stepped back and look at a palm tree, even the tallest biggest palm trees.

once long Hollywood Boulevard and that more see video come that those are giant plants in those aren't trunks. Those are stems yeah. If that is pretty cool and a botanist will tell you that a someone else nodded upon the botany might say. Well, you know what they function is Teresa night Marty to take that fact in and stick it where the sun don't sunshine. and then that's coming into that conversation is they just got hostile? We'll know somebody comes into says: peace, peace, children- I, let's put it like this. It's available, palms are upright tree form plants in everyone's. Thank you happy international tolerance day. Everybody that's right, but palms are closer categorically. Speaking to grasses and grains like something like corn, then it is that's mighty oak, so again insisting tall giant

plant not a tree a plant and in fact, giant is really good way. To put it because a lot of the group patterns. That palms undertake are, a form of gigantic ism there, like plants on steroids? Basically, so they go, that's a good that him good groundwork for the whole thing. If you ask me, I think, so. Maybe we could start it Andrea Sperms, Sir there are about three hundred thousand of those bad boys in these are flowering plants and I think a lot of stuff people it may ring a bell to like high school biology, because when I was going you're a sick, wait a minute. I learned about this many many years ago, and it's all kind of coming to me, but I'm India's firms are those flowering plants. Have the seeds in cases of fruit right and it's. The largest group in the plant kingdom within that you ve got markets and die carts, and

arms are mano cuts and that's important because I mean you can about palm trees without talking about the specificity of like hell, grow and how they how they operate. Yeah big therein in those details lies why they're not trees by there's something else weathered basically gigantic plants, so you said palm trees, harmonic die cards are what were used to when we look at a tree. Things like ELM trees, beach, maple trees, all of those are die, cots right, when you're, looking like a pine tree here in Evergreen, usually that's a gymnast sperm, that's like a completely different kind of plant all other. It doesn't have its seeds in a fruit. It bears its seeds. Unlike the outside, like a cone or something totally different thing, we need to talk about gymnast to get instead retirement Monica and die cuts, both India Sperms rights, If you ve ever planted a little die caught seedling the

then you're going to notice when it when it pops up out of the ground is you're going to have to. I think it's called a cotyledon yeah, I think so yeah and gonna see to those in its rearing, you know that's why it's called a die caught, because there's two a Monica like I only have one young, Culloden is just the first leaves that come out of his brow. so you got two and, like you said with Monica, you ve got one, that's a big difference, but that's really not a big enough difference to be like wild poem is not even close to a tree, something totally different. all right get it goes on. I guess that's what I'm trying to say the differences continue they does. If you look at I can't leave. You take like a may believe, oh tree leave and you look at the back of it or at the front, but you can you really get a good look at the back, more pulled it up in the sun. You'll see the little boy

Like pattern of veins coming off from central stem on a leaf, that's different on a die caught on a market. It does not do that, they run parallel lines do share from. From like reared a tip. That's your vain right there. Just it there is also die. Cuts have something called a kandian layer, and this is this is really important to me. This is the big differentiate between a palm tree and die caught treelike like maple tree right. Yet this is the big differences that palm trees don't make. Would and die. Countries like a maple tree does in a does that because it has with called secondary growth, It has a bunch of cells Zile woman flow themselves which are vascular tissues and they line up in a circle, and they form a ring in this nice tight pattern and they grow outward in outward in outward every year, so that if you cut a treaty,

and look at the stump. That's left, you see rings in those ring Their annual growth of Spring Lloyd in autumn would, but the upshot is, is Julie growing? Would every year the tree, girls outward it gains girth, and that is secondary growth and the big distinction between Mano, constant. I cots is that model cuts dont have secondary, rose. They don't grow like that, they don't grow our they grow upward. That's a huge distinction yeah and this is where you know it can get a little word. Parsi Monica to generally do not have secondary growth. Palm trees do have a kind of secondary growth, but it's not real secondary growth. I think them was it was the word for it. Anomalous secondary growth is that the one year anomalous secondary growth, so, like every plan has primary

growth is, if you go, and you shouldn't do this, because it's bad for the tree. But if you and in carved your name To a mighty oak it that that's not gonna go what lessons can be ten feet above your head in thirty years, because trees going outward a palm tree, like Eddie girls from the top. So when you see a palm you're gonna generally, see those palm foreign sticking out of the top of it and if you say year, but there's some underneath it to those are just France, haven't fallen off yet on the way up right exactly so, another way to put it is that palm trees grow up. They don't grow out right, but they do have girth. Yet in some cases I know girth, just the Tipp growing worse.

Lord may add the ads hills. People are blushing. I owe his others given so yeah. They do have girth, but they have girth for a totally different reason, and in like you, you can look at a palm tree. Mueller gets a huge, its thicket, that's a trunk but a really sick to the media. I think the biggest one gets too like three feet in diameter lit a big old trunk, but the thing is: if you cut palm tree down. You look down inside of it you're not going to see me pattern of tight rings of those island and phloem cells. They do have xylem and phloem cells because those are vascular cells. They the water, minerals, sugars throughout the plant. So up all plants and trees, halves, island in flames but in a in a young by Monica like a palm tree, they grow just a willy nilly and they grow upward. What gives the palm tree its girth is when those vascular cells themselves growing lies. So you got more vascular cells growing up through the plant through the stem of the plant, which you think is a trunk,

you have more of them and then they increase in size that actually increases the birth of the stem, but the stem itself is not growing outward. It's not like it's not adding layers of growth outward, because that would be second, growth and markets, don't engage in secondary growth. That right, the other really cool thing about a poem is, is in one of the things it separates. Monica from die causes that markets don't have that central tap route. So if you if a storm came along and pulled up up up a palm tree, you see were basically where the mouse, what to call it a trunk will probably call the trunk here and there, but it is a stem where the stem meets the ground if its uprooted you'll do see. Just spider web of smaller routes, it doesnt had this big one central tap route from which the other routes go. It come straight from the base of that stem that's right in those are called, I think, we'll

into a little bit later, but that's called adventitious route growth right here, which is not super deep. I think the deepest you're gonna find is be a few feet yeah, but real out, yeah, like fifty feet out from from the trunk and either direction at some is really something to see, but the Item is that also makes them often susceptible to being blown over and hurricanes because they often grow along the coast yeah, and if you it's a shallow grounded area. You can allotted time. She can see a lot of that root system, sitting level with the ground its neat in some kinds of things including king palms, maybe royal palms, desert eyes. They look like Big fat, cigars, growing out of the bottom of the of the tree at the base, its pretty cool lookin. Like a break o me and you just you- took them,

right out of my mouth? Is exerts a good that's a good teacher for the first part yeah, I say we take a break em at the ad salespeople.

You want your data to be protected and secured, and your customers, seamless uneasy with IBM you can do. Both companies can monitor threats across clouds. yes, all those industry regulations and still create all new from our experiences, a power security that customers trust. That's why so many business as work with IBM visit, IBM down, come to learn more Ok Chuck, so it turns out that still people did not read the ads, but they did sell them in

It is equally clear that so palms are actually super. duper old, some of the oldest plant fossils. We ve turned and by we I mean you and me specifically- are Palm France that are upwards, the seventy million years old, but they think that they actually much older than that, because there is a theory that palms are found all over the world because they were gone going on Gondwana, which is part of a supercontinent after Pangaea, Sir you break up Gondwana, was one of the big massive pieces of of earth that certain between hundred Navy and a hundred forty five million years ago, and they think the palms like goodbye family goodbyes, the is the land spread out, inform the countenances we today and then started to do all sorts of weird stuff. Is they evolved in isolation from one another?

that's right and weird stuff, meaning there can be tiny palms that are about. You know, five to eight inches tall. There is an encourage people to safely look up. Some of these cases It is pretty amazing to see the variety like when you look up the wax palm here. These are the ones generally found in South America that are so tall and skinny. I mean you think they want some of those who know Ayrton skinny nothing compared to these wax. When you look at him and they do seem distorted, defy gravity anyone how are they not the snapping and have constantly with wind it? Sir? a normal, a secondary growth. That is the answer. those works palms grow in the mountains in the Indies. So if you climbed up one of them, I think they're up up to two hundred feet tall, which is worried about seventy meters tall and you the top it get even worse, because you'd also be falling off a mountain

a wax palm unless you're just a dummy that right. Those stems that we talked about the what most people might call a drunk like we said earlier, they do very widely. Some of them are very small, too few millimetres, and those you know have different kinds that I better there is, but one of my favorites are those really big thick stemmed ones that are sort of loaded the ground very big around in an have big, just sort of almost like a fireworks display of blooms, like our palmetto now, not upon meadow palmettos everything he can really see. The the trunk very much Kenya shrubby saw comment, I think yeah yeah, I think they get tall after a while. They stay short, an end to the correct girth and then they grow longer, but it means twenty five hundred. So I'm sure There is a variety of something to suit your fancy. Anonymous yeah, that's exactly

in that one. That grows only be five inches tall and has a standard form. She millimetres thick felons called dips. This manoeuvre in its pretty Cuba. Does that plans? I really yeah by the I swear I'll I'll, follow copy our skin this page and send it to you and you will not see it on their borders because you may standing with a big you card in front of you, that's how I could get away with this bed. You figured me out I can't, I think, the one that we have in our backyard is a windmill palm and we planted it First got to Atlanta. Emily worked as a producer on a tv commercial, and sometimes you might have noticed a little bit with a tv show. Sometimes there's things that you get for a tv, show, a commercial remove that you can't return or do anything with, and so at the end of it they'll be like who wants this? Whatever that we can, do anything with an image.

You said you would love that palm tree nice and it was kind of and we plant here in Atlanta, and it is really flourished they are very easy to take care of. You really don't do anything they have managed to end. This is kind of one of the points of how robust they can be even generally grow in the tropical areas around the world it. You know the thing has had plenty of snow on it plenty of hard raises in Atlanta over the years in its just as help these can be yet another, some palms that can thrive in zone five b I saw, which is like South Nebraska South I or the needle palm does just fine. They are so yeah seashore bombs, that's it yeah as they come like aged orange spikes, rather than Green France, there was a run down either I go on, but the other. That's just like twenty five hundred plus speech.

they're gonna learn to adapt everywhere and they ve been around for hundreds of millions of years, so they eventually got pretty good at doing things like putting up with snow, which is surprising because again, you kind of associate. The palms would like a tropical rain forest and for good reason, because they they are found. A lot in tropical rainforest Saul threw out around You know, right above and below the equator around the world, currently in the Amazon. They make up. Sixty percent of all the trees that you'll find there so they're pretty successful as far as some as far as plants go gigantic plants that's right, should we talk a little bit about what? What makes up a palm tree? We talked about. But about it you know there are those routes that and way way out in a pretty shallow manner. There that elongated stem. one thing you'll notice, when you're looking at a palm stem

If you want to go up and hug one of those guys is sometimes you might get hurt, it is it doesnt have bark, it has the scars of of France that came before, and depending on what kind of tree that is, it could be, it can become a smooth, but they're kind of rough, and sometimes there there really I'm kind of appointing spiky yeah for sure. I think people kind trim those kind back a little bit by bit. I was also reading about over trimming them that you dont, really wanna. You don't want wanna trim and too much Definitely dont want to trim any kind of palm fraud that is in total browning crusty musty, because if it's not even if its yellow. That means that there is still a bunch of new three stores in there just hang out, and the poem like hey you just used up. These took a lot of my energy away, so you want I'm tippit their fall off, naturally like they do or what

until it just so. Brown indicated that they, even you can tell this. This palm fund can be taken off without hurting the tree, but am it's pretty obvious it is pretty obvious. What I thought was really interesting is is the idea that that's that's not bark, there's just like Lee remains the remains of barely where the leaf hit the tree. At one time, and it looks if you, if you look, they point this out and had never put into words before was exactly true. It looks like them. The palm France been moving down the base of the tree forming the trunk, all the way down, forming the bark all the way down, but really the staff has been growing up in out of each leaf scar. That's left behind that forms. What looks like the bark? So it's almost like an optical illusion. A palm tree is yeah

They get what he say in their like every year during have ever driven next to a car and the wheels are spending so fast. They started to look like there's, thereby spinning backwards. Much more slowly, I think kinda. That do that. I thought you were gonna say is thing where you, where the car? Next to you, you see out of your peripheral vision, starts to move and you think you're going forward. And how do we get out of here? I got a little bit go, so I got here. That's even better than I fell on even more, but it has no. You do with palm trees why does because they're all optical allusions? Should we talk a bit about Well, we talked about how they grow. They grow from the top when those when those least pop out at the top its. Yet it's called a spear and it pops out. What's called the apricot mirror stammered the apple merest him and that's the thing: that's you know if, if a tree

we're a die cod, that's where the wood would be growing from, but it's not it's a pencil, so they both have applicant Maris, stems from what I can tell. But tree has a lateral, Maris them as well, and that's where that girth around the sides groves to make it the wider yeah, the woody girth. But the thing, the another thing that differentiates another thing differentiates the palm tree from a die caught tree. Is there a die country? Has a bunch of different? This is where it has an ethical, Maris them and those we call branches, the placing of branches grow off. So an apple medicine is wherever primary growth, which is upright vertical. Growth of a plant comes from get maple tree, has a bunch of em. Those are the branches and then eventually, like smaller ranges and even into the leaves, that's all applicant Maris them growth. A palm tree has one place aside from the roots one place on the entire plant, where it is good.

Everything else is already grown. Gone left a scar behind the or even looks like it's growing, but it's it's already grown in its just sitting. There photos, sizing like a big old palm front, but right in the middle of the top of the plant, is the ethical Mary them in that's where those new leave shoot out from and where the Zairean foam divide and that growth occurs in that's it there's the one spot and that's it for the poem. Yet, if you If you have a palm near you and its low enough to see the top of it pretty well, you will see many times among all those beautiful green freinds, sometimes like big windmill fans, you'll see that little spiky thing sticking can a straight up and that's called the spear and it will unfold into the frightened and it will that will become abuse

around one point: it's almost like a so it's almost like a caterpillar having a beautiful butterfly near, except as a leaf except as a leaf and if you ve ever seen the palms that have you know it, we talked about the stem, how its disorder that right, scar, all the way up sometimes see in that have a really smooth green part. The kind of looks like and we'll get to, cocoanuts Catholics like the very outside and a big cocoanut. That's called the crown shaft the king Palm is famous for these, and that's that little smooth green section between where the Frank, is rough and where the leaves pop out at the top right in all those are the like. Layered leaves folded around the top of the stem and as they Those leaves unfolding, become fronds and hang our forests and his and then the energy stores they have as used up and they fall off. Those kinds palms, they follow very cleanly.

So compared to other rougher rougher exterior palms like a king promised. smooth even below the crunch, afterwards kind of gray and layered horizontal stripes, that's, but those are still sky. Left from the leads that used to be attached there, that unfolded at the crown shafting ruined lived and died. Them fell off their seventy weird sexual innuendoes with palm trees. yeah. I had no idea, no idea, it expires. A lot about how I felt about palm trees. For a long time. I had no idea why it probably does earthenware were twelve years old is their plenty but they're like what are they ve been talking about? Yet it's true desert, eight years old So, let's talk about these palm France or the palm, leaves there a few different kind of shapes. They can take others the feather like Pinnate. If you see cocoa palm, MRS, what you're gonna see as a couple of rows of those of those Lee

can sprawling out from that Central rib down the middle that ribs collar righteous and where it needs, and this is a lot of sort of technical talk here, but the thick where it actually meets the trunk, thus called the patio there were. The rack righteous meets the trunk great, that's right. Those leaves are all individual. Their disconnected the only place where they join is at that rack said that central rib but other than that they're not connected, which makes them different from Appall mate typos thrive Those are good. Does it was a really good thing. Palmy might be my favorite where there there are. They seem disk but if you follow them back to their terminal point where they connect to the branch you'll see that they're all connected at one central point in their kind of fanned out almost in a circle we're semicircle radiating away from that one central point where they're all connected and that's that central points called the Hasta LA that's

Call me it's another good one, then there's cost to pull me right. Yeah, the cost of homemade is is a little bit of both. If you like a little pinnate like a little palm eight, then you get your cost. The palm that is the fan shape as well and it is attached to a central, Rib Collar Costa and that its extends from that patio into that leaf blade, you know what is its interesting when these things fall off those those fan shaped once again, their them off the ground. You really get a sense of their potential uses, which you know we'll talk about. It suffered a little bit later but like primitive uses. As a fan or as a broom more, you know there are all kinds of things when you have a big handful of those does dead Palm France You can see even you know here in modern times like I could see, others could be useful to think of our home. Start, the writers of Gillikins Island. Put into that I hear right. I can't watch that shown more. How much you

I haven't tried in a long time it. Why not? I think it is raining. In my brain. It was great line. I was you know a younger person now Mycalessus. I can't watch this year. Recurring dream. When I was a kid, the first Recurring dream I remember, had to do with Gillikins Island, but it was a scary like the boat was washed ashore. the beach and remember I was in the back and a hiding from somebody who is trying to get me or something, but I had a dream over and over four wait. A minute survey was trying to get you. While you were in the ship that was being shipwreck. No, it had already been shipwrecked. Citys, like you know, a shipwrecked boat on shore that I was hiding in, like behind a back seat. Jerry figure who was now.

I don't think I've ever had a recurring dream. All of my dreams are already low material. Every time that's interesting, I think said to the joy of imaginary friend. No, no, no, they seem silly and superfluous someone just don't asian a thought of that is because someone said Leninism, as requested in saying that it imaginary Frances of later successes in various ways. Supposedly, let explains a lot is well known, but look at you know everything about how successful I could be if I had had imaginary I could be. President of the world. My dog has what she calls. Ghost friends always has, and now goes parents in We wonder sometimes if that is something to do with being adopted or if it's just the right

world, imaginary friend, thing with kids or your house is haunted and she can see things you can't or that that's number three be pretty awesome, measures to spell it out for you Arkwright right there we take another breaker we'll talk about those, not so beautiful, plumflower spread after this today, Europe business has to deal with a lot of moving parts. You, whenever to be on autopilot, ban to be prepared anything changes with IBM. You can do both company can unify data across clouds from suppliers to ship.

They imagine things differently by forging new strategic partnerships. They, unlike new possibilities, creating a world powered by healthy digital systems, alive with opportunity, oxygen to innovation and energy, to change the world

kindle the heart of progress are right. If you ve ever walked back, the palm tree and you ve seen a what looks like a blob of yellow for Orange, Does anyone here me: what are they them? Look like they look like just little tiny, great bunches but yeah, but not Are there not very attractive to me, but I guess beauty, in the eye the beholder those are palm, the flower of the palm tree so thing I have to say, though, is check you. You would probably have your eyes open if you spend a little time on Google images looking at different palm implore, essences some of them

Ok, yeah there's some that are just straight up dazzling vessel on those like a nice pink and it looks like a really tight like you now. Sometimes people have like dread box. There are I've been around so long, they actually merged in one big dread. Sure it looks like that I got an idea pinkish purple yet, but a hot pinkish purple version of that very pretty and again, twenty five hundred or more species of palm. So there's a lot different variety. But that said, I agree with you. Most of the palm influences influences I've ever seen or not pretty I think what my problem is is, I feel like it, disturbs even the pretty ones at it doesn't gibe with the rest of the look here. So it looks like like a really tractor person wearing maybe a really nice hat, but that doesn't go the rest of the outfit okay.

I totally get your meaning, I think emailed did just doesn't seem to fit in, but you keep calling them in four essences. Instead, a flower What do you mean by that. Well, I mean an employer essences just another name for a palm flower. Andrei Nepal, it's the end you sperm, which is, by definition a flowering plants. It doesn't. Like what you and I would think, of his flowers, but that's exactly what it is and what the palm from what I can tell everything is a fraud its sword some version of a fraud and the employer, essences oh, no exception. It's a specialised weirdo version of the of the palm. on that grows out and depending on the kind of palm. It's going to have either male flowers, female flowers, or is gonna have male and female flowers in which cases self pollinating and the upshot of all this is when the female flowers get pollinated, they will produce fruit in because we're talkin

twenty five hundred different species of palms. You get a lot of different kinds of fruit that come along yeah. It's it's pretty interesting, actually like. If you look at your standard, coconut palm that has both the mail, female parts. So that makes it this stuff We learned in high school biology again haven't seen that words so long, I know even was calling Mano issues for awhile like another? It's not right third, I remember now its money some day issues, those Oser silent and issues, palms only have male flowers or female And like depending on the fruit. If you know a few of your cocoanut palm then you're gonna have both, but you gotta, fertilized that that female flower, if you're a date palm spacious. So you can only harvest from the female tree.

You need to have both again to fertilize right and get that delicious bad date. But that is dates are actually a fruit from palms from appropriately enough data arms, I didn't know that I didn't either in dates are delicious in this researching. This may be want this, but I, if I had to choose, I'm a fig person for sure are fixed from upon no victory gap, but there's, like you know, dried fruit gates and in figs or so you're. So You know they say we go hand in hand. So arabic aptitudes, which is did, is this the stupid thing even bring up sorry? I did well. I don't know that I've ever had, in fact taken almost say, we have never had a fresh date, right off of a tree. You mean it like that. Not dried and do not like raisins or figs style, but

like in the raiders lost on the bad date as your badge gaiety dates, bad dates right. There, monkey, I mean it was an evil monkey by. I think he was trained to be evil. Oh, you think, with a nazi salute. Yes, I don't think he was born, knowing how to do that. I think he was trained to do that and it made him a bad bad monkey very soon. I think you deserve to be poisoned by bad dates. You know that movie is. There has been under fire in recent years because of the nature of India's relationship with Russia. merrily area and how it was Oh yeah he's also like fairly rough weather is well yeah. There's Is this lines at the beginning? Where he talks about you know you're doing you know I was a child or whatever, and I think it for The years arouses like air whatever, and then someone like wait a minute how much of a child was. She and I think, people have tried to do the math over the years to work it out. So with I'm period where it wasn't that bad, but I do now

that in discussing this summer time, maybe crush a little bit about, but Lucas and Spielberg when discussing at all the beginning. One of them was pushing at the time for it to make it like creepy no mammals like a really young and make it really kind of a bad thing that he did was George Lucas. Doing that I think it might have been. I dont know I shouldn't other stuff. Up on that ongoing spillovers, I gave a great idea, great ideal, define who workshop that later right anyway. Bad dates, bad dates and dates by the way trucker droops, as are all fruit says, you know that I didn't know that, but it didn't know that there were similar to peaches and olives increase in the sunlight, peaches and cream. You happy cream in in the way that they are there hard outer that can Estonia like covering around the seed Right

but they're usually also covered with some sort of flesh there we like to eat- it's not always the case, so I think coconuts, sir, the reverse of that silly, if you're eating like a peach, the the seed itself as that huh is inside the hard pit in the fruit that alone a seed, no a coconut, is the art of that it's got there Woody outer Shell in darkness gone just in have some fun with the boy. You are it's exactly right. Chuck nice that you're actually knows. That's the endo carp the hardest part that you knock on So how are you going on the hard green outer most layer? No, that would be the actual carp that endo carpet hard Brown Woody. One that at that you can knock on yeah an airplane that you can use as a bowling ball on the elegans. Exactly early could tiki cocktail cup right

all again, I'm Gillig, silent and the it's the stuff inside that that's the actual seed in that's what we eat, cocoanut. Does the Indus firm in the liquid into sperm that stuff you from a cup that's actually like the seed that you're eating, whereas like a peach, you're eating outside of the meat that, outside of the of the seed right, in the end of sperm is the third. The solid part is that flash that whiten deliciousness coconut and then the cocoanut water is the liquid into sperm. So you next, I'm your friend is Emily cocoanut one or two scope to them and say enjoy the Liquid indo, sperm and they'll say what are you talking about? You can say stuff like that. You will do spit, take I hope not gives a coconut waters delicious. It is an expensive too, go away to Martha. Coconut water was cocoanut milk. You

wrong wrong wrong. Now, cocoanut milk is taking cocoanut meet grading it up into a paste them in adding water to that diet. Cocoanut minutes delicious too. It is its supervision, happened there really healthy fats. You understand this, a good fat in it dumb, I'm not a big sort of Caribbean drink cocktail, guy bow you'd like to think he drinks. Now, I'm not really into them. This little too sweet me, maybe one letter their little Sweden me, but that that cocoanut milkman with some with some rum is a really nice combination. You know people been drinking that for beyond for good. They should have you know what else they ve been drinking even longer than that chuck alone could understand a little than called palm wine area. I didn't know that this existed, but it sounds awesome, but you There are a lot of different kinds of palm species that you can tap, including, I think, coca, cocoanut palms and date palms

in the chilean wine palm which there like well yeah, of course, but you can tap the sap of these things. and what comes out context, the air in The little bit amount of like microbes in the air that come in contact with the sub immediately cause it to start ferment, and within hours it has gone from palm sap to an alcoholic beverage. and then hours after that, within about a day or so of it being tapped, turns into vinegar, so you have to drink this stuff, which turns into like a four percent alcoholic just by sitting on the air a few hours afterwards tat within a day of tapping it yeah, which is why it is one of the oldest boozes, because you could get it quickly and pretty natural. You never do anything for an apparently they ve caught monkeys actually drinking it too. Oh yeah yeah I get they. I think they found evidence of humans drinking it. As far back as eighteen thousand years ago.

very long time and that because they ve caught like primates, other primates drinking, it's possible that get goes even further back in our evolutionary history very interesting. I thought so too, is also palm oil, that is in food products in a lot of skin products it sort of an environmental disaster. These days, the other innovations in Indonesia, Malaysia, where you, basically you just clear, cut forest to plant more, Palm still get palm oil in getting Quantum quote sustainably: sourced palm oil is difficult to impossible for your products there are some people say there is no such thing and that if something is labelled officially sustainable there like will now just go back fifteen or twenty years, and there was once natural forest growth. you're too. So it's kind of a meaningless title when just a handful of yours have to go by before you say

oh, no, no. No, this this palm field was here already right, like Ed from what I understand. This is not the case. yeah. That was one of those things where I looked into us like, okay and another reason to to be pessimistic and lose hope. The UK there's a little guy berries. I did know they came from palms, isn't it those who say they have always had a car, but is probably aside I have never said that left so there it's like supposed to be a super food, rich and Annie oxidants, and I was like their rings. Bellied enough is out in any accidents. Do we too weak surmises its bs, and I went back and I read it Transcript other and dumb, it may be so take that, however, you like, but it definitely does have parts of antioxidants, including Anthea science, because that's where it has its purple color from the UK as I eat us is early ass. I hear your foolish a sigh.

It said you now you have from your repel Josh. I dont they were set it out loud until now it for millions, since no biggie here yet the hearts of palm, of course, that you'll find I usually in a can on a shelf in your grocery store. That's it that's the Apple Maris them chuck. That is as just but say and it is right that the core you get it in Hawaii and Costa Rica someplace in South America and Europe. That thing down and it's got that little that little tender core in the reasons usual in a canisters, its didn't last very long. Yes, so pickled, typically right, yeah What about battle not said? You know about those before cause. I had heard of him, but I had no idea what video was. I knew it. I knew it then another chewing them, which is partly

in certain asian countries. Is, can be really bad for you can make your teeth like resident black and give you cancer but system am I right gives you Prager, but so it all worked out in the end, doesn't really something like twenty percent of the people, the world to battle nuts in it. That makes it the fourth most used, psycho active material. I guess her substance after nicotine, caffeine, Al Gore, and then baronets. What about return? If you ve ever been appear when imports and sad and in a What are those things called? The big ball Papa sign, cheer up a sign that is made from palm written from and palms and its very hearty- and you know how mentioned that those regions are very useful like this. The stuff over the years that these funds, France, for four rooftops and return to make really strong furniture

very useful yeah. I had no idea of a return, has really wicked mean barbs in thorn sticking off of it because uses it to climb up. Other trees in the stem is really pliable, it's not you know upright, but it grows vertically. But it's like a vine and apparently the stem can get up like five hundred feet long. The lot of it's a lot of pure one bigger, lotta wicker. What was the name of charity murder? The chair that they would sit in four prom pictures in the seventies? You let that be as a case of mine was scarce. Exactly now, there's somebody a throne sort of what exactly retain throne is exactly right. That's a heck of a chair to so I guess we could finish up with a couple. A little fun fat one of them. Driving cleared a few of these. The double cocoanut palm has, I don't know if it's the law

just seed. Is it the largest one in the world? Yes, ok a mature cocoanut from that double coconut. can way about ninety pounds and the seed inside is about fifty five and Dave said something about the way they look like a member, exactly how we put it suggestive, suggested and It looks like a, but that's not where did suggested to me. I thought it looked like a boy, in an anus hooker did you think it looked like a female parts now This puts come around to the other side of the dude. You don't look like us. A squirrel sack Yes, we'll do it. I thought it looked like a bird in a bottle Norman I mean I could see how you would think that, but it looked like a squirrel sack to me. I thought that was the avocado. That's that's put yes for sure. Carlos gotta go onto

we have got. One would like to ask what else do you have I wanna hear less fact: well, I think it become a phone. just talk about what happened in Florida with all this foam. Oh yeah, I'd love to do. That is a good when this The reason Florida has so many palms is because of a shipwreck and Jane. of thousand seventy eight. The spanish brigantine that the presidency, a crash, landed with a bunch of cocoanuts on board, yeah cocoanuts in a bunch of other stuff, but there were like twenty thousand coconuts A guy named William Lane Heart, who is one of the early pioneers along this this some like settlers of european descent. I should say, along this stretch of Florida Beach, where this this shipwreck happened, bought the whole damn sure,

break in all of its cargo for like twenty dollars and proceeded to try to sell the cocoanuts fur was like two cents each year, a happy at it. Two and a half cents in ITALY sold about a thousand of the twenty thousand But still it's like a couple hundred box. Like me, you know that you're, MRS Money back, do yeah ten times over then he said I think, he's gonna plant the rest you think it'd be easier than trying to draw up a market for these things, and that's it. That's where palm beaches yeah they d, all of the cocoanut, dumb palms that you see there are not native thereof, descended from original shipwreck, cargo of cocoanuts, very, very cool. It is very cool indeed, and also check. They met Chinned Henry Flag learned, there's founding palm Beach was palm Beach and he by your college. That's right and regular county. He was like an old Ford executive, who made his money well from work, at Ford early on and then started,

a railroad and inserted like founded Palm Beach and was deceived fabulously wealthy, but you know, I know we ve talked about going to Prague Prince Rhode Island instead touring some of those or gilded age, Mansions he has won in palm beach. So if you make your way down palm Beach, go see the flag or house Museum. It's one, amazing houses, you will ever walkin in your entire life.

How do it well checks it I'll do it. That means, of course everybody is time for listener. Mail,

Call this Josh and Simpson Century saw this. He could we could just answer this on the air. Others worried about this. Hey guys. that, we're going to read it again, the hot dog episode of little surprise that Josh let whole episode go by without citing hummers famous line about hot dogs from the episode where he tries to get to the grease business. then I realize this is a phenomenon of noticed several times like Joshua Simpson Superfine. So I feel like an issue with everyone who has written and say you miss this quote or citation country. What's happening, I think, is Josh's biting his tongue and letting I would guess when the three opportunities passed by were episode while because he doesn't want to be known primarily. Is that simpsons dork and avoid owing royalties to met graining Josh. Please validate my hunch, that is from Gee thanks g you're not holding your tongue.

occasionally I do actually very very rarely. I think G is giving me way too much credit and at the risk of of sound. like a fraudulent simpsons fan. Their time of it says that people write any be like you want to pass this one I'll be like. I don't remember that when at all or I totally forgotten- I didn't think about that, but every once in a while I will hold it back because you just have to keep the proposed. of Simpsons phantom like had at a certain time. Told other than that stuff. You should nose like it stuff. You should know the simple fancy work more well rounded than that. So yes, M once in a while. I do but not three times in the past and now that's what I'm saying is that over crediting me for protesting thanks again G, and if you want to be like G and ask a questioner, see if your hunches confirmed send it to us the email to stuff podcast it I heart rate,
