If you're still in town, you should swing by the Dunes National Park. Just got back from the Miller Woods trail this afternoon, lots of stuff and ecosystems showing off, a good representation of the greatly endangered Black Oak Savanna and well worth the trip. You would get off on Ripley off of 94. About 50 minutes from the Loop.
Two corrections: the Persicaria at 11:50 is P. punctatum, with white sepals and an interrupted inflorescence. You have to look pretty closely to see the glandular dots. The Physostegia at 37:04 is P. virginiana. This should not detract at all from a really fine video for both botanists and beef aficionados.
At 17:40 to 17,43 is that a tattoo of a ruler on his left middle finger ?! Hahaha. I suppose it is quite a good idea. Hmmm. I might get a tattoo of the number '1' on the end of my big toe to indicate the length of 'one foot'.
@@sloaneglover1026 Hahaha. Very good. It took a while to get what you meant. 'Endemic' means a natural thing like a disease or plant that is native to a particular place. Yeah, I also think that sandwich was non-native -- maybe it's endemic to Homer Simpson's Spingfield.
I grew up on the prairie. It looks best with minimal maintenance, but, of course, almost everyone who lives there prefers planting nonnative grasses and mowing everything constantly.
I'm pretty new to this channel, so maybe it's on me for not expecting a solid 47 minutes of two men discussing Chicago sandwiches, but either way I am loving it and soaking it all up just like that 9-inch Toronto roll is soaking up the gravy, or the limestone soaked up all of that nutrient-dense groundwater. What I'm trying to say is, these videos nourish me and I hope they never stop.
If I had a billion dollars: with this video; I would have given you half. Thank you. This is a perfect time, while we can all learn something great while dying laughing. I'm still here, though. I get to continue enjoying your documentations! Carry on!
As a 1970s-born SW suburban kid who went to many shitty picnics in that 'forest preserve' when it was a shitty expanse of buckthorn, garlic mustard, & used condoms, and who spent my requisite catholic school hours cutting and setting fire to said buckthorn, I get every flavor of emotional seeing this. Fuck yeah prairie! Infinite bonus points for Turano roll stratigraphy and Al Scorch.
You should come to the ozarks and check out the dolomite/limestone glades. They are pretty lovely, plenty of urban development to complain about in some biodiverse areas as well.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt @Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't hell yeah, did you get a chance to look at any cool plants? Were did you pass through? I know it's pretty rough to get to some of the cool sites this time of year.
The word "Thwap" which was used herein this fine video in reference to the possible sound being made by a ballistic hot italian sandwich coming into contact with a car windshield was introduced to the mainstream by the creative people over at Marvel Comics as an illustraded sound effect for the adhesion of the webbing employed by your "Friendly neighborhood Spiderman" in the proscecution of his unique style of crime fighting capabilities.
Oh man, that sangwich makes me yearn for my days as a delivery boy at Rosati's. "here's your Italian Beef!" I'd say. "I didn't order any Italian Beef!" they'd reply... and then it was off to my next adventure!
Pretty impressive facial shrubbery Al’s got going on there. Also nice to see you talking about some familiar flowers. I can walk out the back foot and find many of these in my own yard. Beautiful.
Yes, Al Scrotch return! Also, dolomite prairie! In southwest Ohio we have "prairie-fens", they are limestone groundwater wetland but it is a little bit xeric, so happen you have fen plants and prairie plants together, Fillipendula and Dasiphora, but also Silphium terebinthinaceum and Solidago ohioensis, sedges and big bluestem together! This seem it is very similar habitat.
My face is probably going to hurt tomorrow. Thanks for that. Jack voted this one his favorite episode ! I sure hope we get to keep some stuff for eternity. lol lol
23:40 - maybe a Sporobolus heterolepis in the back right 24:20 - maybe Panicum virgatum in the back right 25:30, 25:45, 26:06 - Real Nice Bouteloua curtipendula 26:26 - Panicum virgatum right side 39:10 - Elymus canadensis probably I like grass
Thanks! I love the IDs and my man isn't into grass... neither an I but they're growing on me... turns out I hate turf grasses but the native tall grass is pretty sweet!
A beautiful expose on the Italian beef sandwich experience framed in the exquisitely timed Chicago accent... And no one mentioned Da Bears even once... Superb, learning every day love your work
The chemistry between you two is fantastic! He musta been one of the compadres who sat around the campfire by da tracks and Western Ave Al even paid attention to the magnesium content, lol
I quit watching a Ytube vid of a live presidential press conference when I saw this upload. Got a lot more here than I think I would have there. Good to see Al again to make you both The Dynamic Duo out of that metropolis.
I worked for years restoring and maintaining natural areas around NE IL, including some county forest preserves, and after chewing through so many of your videos (only recently found you), I'm so happy to see you spent some time on an area I have a little more familiarity with. Now I'm hoping I'll find you visiting the northwoods around the UP, northern WI, northern MN as well.
Also, Chelone glabra is the host plant for the Baltimore Checkerspot butterfly. Also also, I hope I will see Arnoglossum plantagineum in a local fen this week! Okay, last thing! I really love you see the lakeside daisy there. Most the populations are on Lake Erie in Ohio, but there are some in Illinois and Ontario also, on this kind habitat.
@@__hetz I'm moving some natives to my yard that get mowed & sprayed out. Got asters, liatris, and quite a few DYC (damn yellow composites). Gotta wait a few weeks for blue & red lobelia, I've got some good spots for those. Massive Solidago already here & blooming so nice!
I'm in the Piedmont of North Carolina, and it's all pretty familiar to me. We get a lot of the same species assemblages in open habitat, such as glades, barrens, and sometimes woodlands (if they get burned often enough). Same prairie grass species (A. gerardii, Schyz, Sorg. nutans, etc), and largely different species of the same genera: Liatris (pilosa and others), a couple other Helianthus, a nonnative Helenium, half a dozen Solidago species, Bidens aristosa, several Lespedezas, Lobelia puberula, Verbesina (different species), Arnoglossum (usually closer to the Appalachians), Eupatorium spp, Euthamia, and seventeen thousand Symphyotrichums. It's really an excellent time of year to visit those prairie-remnant habitats. ✨
@@__hetz The Coastal Plain of NC is pretty much the best place for carnivores, I think. I like the Green Swamp preserve, if anyone's ever interested in some fun walks full of flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews, Utricularia, and Pinguiculas. And _The Savage Garden_ is a really fun book for those looking to try growing some carnivores. I've got it myself!
As always, you educate the masses with important info. Like staying away from Portillio's. I'd have mentioned Mr. Beef, which was definitely detrimental to my health when my office was just across the street. And you should have mentioned that an Italian Beef on your windshield will severely affect visibilty. You'll need denatured alcohol to strip off the grease. And please be aware that a Combo hitting a windshield will surely set off the vehicle's airbags. It's great to see you come back to the midwest once in awhile.
I saw Lobelia siphilitica this weekend too! :) Love the DYCs, haven't seen those two species here in Missouri this year. I read the wingstems are more likely to produce frostflowers. Ever seen one? I have yet to do so even though I have Verbesina helianthoides in my prairie-yard. :) Love the Liatris, and TWO species! Loved your bonus footage. Wish my reconstruction looked as nice as the spot you showed but I'm working on it. Did a tour of it on my channel a few weeks back. Come visit the Ozarks sometime and hang out with the Missouri Native Plant Society. Well . . .after the pandemic right? ^_^
That is the soggiest sandwich I have ever seen. Also I almost choked on my coffee at "Japaleno" :) Al and you need a sandwich review channel. It's always a treat listening to old mate's spinning shit :) Also that Chelone!

" Never underestimate the value of a really good sandwich " .. I am having this engraved on my headstone....my family are fully aware of this :) kind regards D.
On the Lobelia, the stigma presenter reminds me of an anglerfish. Gawd, I love your political analysis of the prairie, possums and all. I got seeds and planted Physostegia in my yard in France. It didn't get very tall, probably because it was under a walnut tree, my favorite part of the garden where everyone tells me nothing will grow.

36:33 Halyomorpha halys, stink bug
As a native Chicagoan, I can appreciate this high level sandwich analysis.
holy shit, the 8 minute sandwich review hit me like the low bass impact of an italian beef sandwich on my car's windshield.
Oh how sublime to be schooled on botany, personal injury and the anatomy of a Chicago beef sandwich 👍
This is an 'endemic steaming Chicago sandwich'.
@Controversial Chris For sure. It was good to see the two bouncing off each other.
At 17:40 to 17,43 is that a tattoo of a ruler on his left middle finger ?! Hahaha. I suppose it is quite a good idea. Hmmm. I might get a tattoo of the number '1' on the end of my big toe to indicate the length of 'one foot'.
@Controversial Chris this is the content i've needed.
Nan-native, doh.
@@sloaneglover1026 Hahaha. Very good. It took a while to get what you meant. 'Endemic' means a natural thing like a disease or plant that is native to a particular place. Yeah, I also think that sandwich was non-native -- maybe it's endemic to Homer Simpson's Spingfield.
I grew up on the prairie. It looks best with minimal maintenance, but, of course, almost everyone who lives there prefers planting nonnative grasses and mowing everything constantly.
As a Chicagoan, everything about this is wonderful. Thank you.
You know how many times I keep coming back here to watch this goddamn beef exposé? A lot.
Good to see Al again. Da juice is in da bahg.
Funniest thing I've seen all month, thanks Al.
I love Al! He's so delightful!
I fuckin lost it when the camera panned at two minutes, im cryin right now
This is one of my favorite videos on the channel
Pure gold. We've missed you All!
The return of Al! The man, the myth, the legend!
I could listen to him say "biodiversity" all day :)
Doggo sez, "Drop it. Drop it. Drop it."
Fantastic, loving the contributions from Al and his amazing Italian beef sandwich, and the sounds of prairie insects in the sunset, so nice.
I'm pretty new to this channel, so maybe it's on me for not expecting a solid 47 minutes of two men discussing Chicago sandwiches, but either way I am loving it and soaking it all up just like that 9-inch Toronto roll is soaking up the gravy, or the limestone soaked up all of that nutrient-dense groundwater.

You can find tarantulas and scorpions in our Missouri glades. Most North Eastern that they occur.
Thank you Tony for generously teaching us to appreciate the world in which we live.
Joe, Jack with special guest Al.. Priceless!
Nice ending

I love how you guys riff off of each other while keeping a straight face, that's friendship!
Al needs his own show. What a legend
If Al had a sandwich review I would watch it
Can we get Al to do a Mojave special?
"It is so HAWT!"
Al needs more time on this channel. That was incredible.
Turning on the automatic closed captioning yields another level of humor when El GOOG fails to correctly recognize botanical terms.
It's famous for that. Learn Your Land has some stuff that will have you in stitches, too.
This has become one of my top YT channels.
Nice to see Professor Scorch again.
Just found this TH-cam page, and I love it. Immediately became one of my favorites. Thank you for making my day

"here's your Italian Beef!" I'd say.
"I didn't order any Italian Beef!" they'd reply... and then it was off to my next adventure!
As a resident of the Midwest, I've really enjoyed this recent slew of videos about stuff in my region. Super appreciate you man.
This is a better education than the yuppies get with a masters degree in college
He says all the time you gotta get out there yourself. Don't just swallow shit whole
I asked about Al twice and you provided....love your vids and love the old ones with you two...thanks
What an incredible way to start a Thursday morning. Bless you and Al 😂😂😂.
Best channel on TH-cam!!
Dolomite Prairie gone WILD! See these grasses shake their asses in this WILD expose!
Pretty impressive facial shrubbery Al’s got going on there. Also nice to see you talking about some familiar flowers. I can walk out the back foot and find many of these in my own yard. Beautiful.

Here I am, loving the vid, a 2:45 min ad for a monster turf mower comes on. Only for you guys would I watch turf torture....
Now, back to the show!
36:30 invasive brown marmorated stink bug is definitely the Blagojevich of the prairie.
I truly don’t know how you and Al Scrotch can keep a straight face when you’re together. I’d be cry-laughing through the whole sandwich bit.
The milkweed cotton like seed deserve more time and attention.
BTW..it was nice seeing Al.
Always appreciate your uploads.
...Especially during these times.
Al is brilliant.

Loved every second! More please!
My favorite genius of plants are sandwich branch
I saw some sideoats gramma (Bouteloua curtipendula) in there at one point on the very thin soil, one of my favorite grasses!
I'm ok with this channel pivoting to food if it's all just Italian beef like that.
Love the new sidekick love the comedy love the Witty ness. I enjoy this channel and recommend it to my friends. Text to speech sucks

Fun stuff
I find myself looking at more and more plants in this Anarchist Jurisdiction that I dwell in. Rebellious plants everywhere you look.
