Mainly due to your potty mouth and your rich knowledge of many things botanical, I may not be the first to consider you "the people's botanist." By sheer strength of your personality and your "everymanspeak" you have brought botany to thousand of people who would otherwise have to patience for it. As a fellow botanist, I salute you.
Thanks for letting us know wether or not someone took a dump in the toilet, that was actually exactly what I was wondering and I worried we would never know. (This was not sarcasm)
i am 67yo and retired - your the best channel = you could do a child version and an adult version = i just like cousin Tony`s description real down to earth with all the right names - no matter what ! thank you cousin Tony .
Merry Christmas, pisan! I love visualizing you in Berkeley. I lived there in the middle 60s. Country Joe (of the Fish) goofed on the pretensions and poses of the ivory tower folk. I distributed LSD to all sorts of people and gave MMPI (a psych eval) before & after--Jefferson Airplane and the Dead, among various engineers and probably the UniBomber at the EGG ShOP & Apple Press where a lot of us math nerds got together to eat eggs at a common table. You must be a caution, with your brilliance and your affectations. Thank you for trekking all over the place and sending back your glimpses of reality. I'm half Italian (the other side is old line Virginian Celt) SF wine growers in Sonoma (bootleggers on my dad's side) I was born in Santa Cruz and have been a sober alcoholic since New Year's Eve in 1975. Smiles and appreciation!
Your mastery of Latin pronunciations is to be commended. I learned the key to Latin pronunciations from Paul Stamets. He said, "Say it with confidence."
Just found your stuff, can't believe u made a video in Atacama. I'm from Chile and this kind of insight is priceless. Also love the way u casually explained all that shit. Gracias!
I love these videos so much, I don't even think you suck for being able to going all these neat places I wish I could go or having the awesome life I wish I had.
Was thinking that it reminded me of desert holly, and then you said it! I'm fond of canescens and confertifolia because they are a beautiful lime green is spring, and by fall start turning oranges and yellows. They also look kinda Rasta to me, haha! Fascinating landscape, thanks for taking us along! May you never lose your passion. By the way, it's not a good idea to fondle flannelbush, but you prolly already know that
Well, since he does not espouse any political beliefs, and does not seem to be selling anything, I would guess he backs himself. But hey, I'm a grumpy old autodidact.
Those boxcars were so damn voluptuous.. so clean and innocent, nice to see endemic trains, consider a drail into some foaming/benching? I can't be the only one in the audience that likes trains!
I heard that under-the-breath shout out to Martin Grantham!!! Why am I not surprised you two know each other? He is just as driven horticulturally as you are!!! I don't know if he ever mentioned to you that he is a member of the Hortisexuals of the Bay Area? Like me and my recently deceased partner he is a charter member and highly esteemed among us for his superior knowledge and experience in propagation in particular!!! I'm certain the group would not mind at all to welcome you in with open branches........
Think of what might have happened had he not *_checked_* it -- **shudder** ... damn good thing he was there to do the right thing and check it for turds. ... I mean that toilet might have sat out there unchecked for turds for god knows _how_ long.
Me too! Just knowing he doesn't care if I listen or not just lulls me right to sleep. Reminds of me growing up in Chicago, hearing the adults yak away, I guess. Makes me feel safe and secure.
do you ever disperse the seeds? at 13:40 you gotta a bunch of them in your hand. it would only take a few minutes to plant those seeds a few millimetre deep
Damn, it's a good thing you _checked_ that toilet, Joey. There absolutely *_could_* have been a dump in there. If you hadn't checked it, we'd all be absolutely boned. Thank God you checked it. It needed checking -- somebody _had_ to do it, and you were the man for the jahb. ... toilet might have sat there for 50 years, turd status completely unknown, fer chrissakes.
If there ever was an apocalypse i want this guy not only for the geologic and botanic knowledge, but because hes someone who can make a party about the end of mankind lol
i love watching your videos WITH a side of cursing because the cursing makes you less intimidating. a lot of science videos feel overly formal to me, even if that's how the presenter naturally talks. i need the casual vibe. its relaxing. thats just how i see it personally though
Tony my dude you been helping through a hard time I found your videos last month or some shit watched the majority in a day and laughings been a rarity as of late and accept wen I watch your videos I gotta go to jail an shit but uh was hoping id get too see some more adicama wonderments of extromphile flowers or maybe some sub troppic jungle Shit anyways your awesome Polk county oregon is beautiful but got people government 🚫👮🌿🍀🌹🌱🌾🌺🌵🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

For everyone who says Latin isn't Important. Thank you sir for sharing your travels and superb knowledge.
As a native Phoenician, your definition of Tucson people could fit all of us honestly.
I rarely comment, but never change your style! It's a refreshing change of pace to be educated with humor. Keep it up!
As an arizona man, you are right about us not coming out until late. But many times ive checked the temp at 1-2am and its still above 100 degrees
thanks for your service...happy holidays
Please don't ever stop being you. Keep it real.

Smoked a fat joint and you post a video doesn't get much better than that, thanks!
As always, a great post! Thank you Sir!

Pls never change, Mr. Santoro
You keep on introducing us to such diverse flower plants. Thanks
the wonder continues..thanks so much!
The glands do make me feel nice
no change needed on your part. you're refreshing in a sea of stale people.
Who is financially backing this dude? Great content as usual 👍🏾
Well, since he does not espouse any political beliefs, and does not seem to be selling anything, I would guess he backs himself. But hey, I'm a grumpy old autodidact.
He has a patreon, and I think he has or is planning on selling a few shirts.

Thanks again
The barrenness sharpens one’s appreciation of the species that have evolved to be able to call the Atacama their home.
thanks for all these new bookmarks
There was a time I'd be surprised to see a lone toilet on a barren volcanic flat... but those days of innocence and joy are gone.
Long, long gone.
Amazing area to search for cool stuff! GFY bye!
I like the hate-mail ending quote. I wonder if he will mine those. Gold!
Trainspotting in the the Atacama! Received the merch. Thanks
God how I love it when one of these pops up on my notifications.
You should put "Endless forms most beautiful and what the shit" on a shirt
That's probably one of Rick Sanchez' toilets.
Goddamnit, Vinnie.
I keep watching and waiting for the switch to click so suddenly I can start naming off plants like that.
Thanks, Joey! Happy Festivus from tropical Minnesota! ;-)
@ 7:29 The soil texture here is produced by haloturbation. As the salt crystallizes it heaves and churns the soil.
God, I wish I was there with my camera. What an amazing landscape.
Those boxcars were so damn voluptuous.. so clean and innocent, nice to see endemic trains, consider a drail into some foaming/benching? I can't be the only one in the audience that likes trains!

standing in the privy, toilet paper all around and still complementing the trees smell smell. gotta love this guy
Ah yes... The dribbly shit sand castle technique.
I know it well.
Loool
Installation art: a toilet in the desert...
Think of what might have happened had he not *_checked_* it -- **shudder** ... damn good thing he was there to do the right thing and check it for turds.
... I mean that toilet might have sat out there unchecked for turds for god knows _how_ long.
It is amazing to see that , like humans, plant species can become nomadic to survive in desertic areas, like Tillandsia does.
You had me at the toilet in the middle of the desert. I'd like to know who put that out there. Great video. 🙂
I just love putting on your videos to fall asleep to. There's just something about your hatred of our species that I find comfortable
Me too! Just knowing he doesn't care if I listen or not just lulls me right to sleep. Reminds of me growing up in Chicago, hearing the adults yak away, I guess. Makes me feel safe and secure.
Never change
Yeah, but if you changed your speech pattern, it would not be you, thanks again for another installment of your travelog. Great work.
do you ever disperse the seeds? at 13:40 you gotta a bunch of them in your hand. it would only take a few minutes to plant those seeds a few millimetre deep
Good work. What camera set up do you use to get such good closeups? Thanks for all your sharing of knowledge.

Oh...Misquite. I was like "what's Miskee?"
Good thing there is a toilet there cause I just about lost my shit. Lmao
Are you sure that toilet didn't just spontaneously grow there?
We need you to come to Central Florida and check out in the Lake Wales Ridge. hit me up
That random ass “you like when I say that you sick fuck” got me cracking up.
You’re a weird man, keep it up
The Trichocline has Post-coital dysphoria.

"That wash didn't make itself."
Uh...perhaps you misspoke. lul
3:44 isn't it the other way around? the ridges are where the Tillandsia roots trap the sand?
I don't think that's how it works. More likely the ones that didn't grow on the ridges did not receive enough condensation to survive.
Is it possible the ridges in the mountains be from the Tellansia stopping blowing particulates? Might be a feedback cycle
When you gotta go, you gotta go.
If there ever was an apocalypse i want this guy not only for the geologic and botanic knowledge, but because hes someone who can make a party about the end of mankind lol
MegaSocky Um, there IS an apocalypse and he's surviving it.
Of course that accent is entertaining, but I also like to know about plants that can thrive in a hostile desert. It's pretty awesome.

I definitely got the worst sunburn of my life looking for plants when I was there...
This is why we can't have nice things!!!!!

If it were not a soul destroying profession I think you would be outstanding in teaching or professing.
I know I'd have enjoyed botany a lot more with a teacher like this.
possible the tillandsia causes the ridges by anchoring the soil?? creating their own enviromental advantage. 3:51

I don't know anything, but I heard from a bald guy that if you hang some weight from the bottom of your camera somehow, it'll make the picture less shaky.
3:44 - chicken/egg type situation? my guess would have been that they are responsible for the ridges forming
Yea their roots held the surrounding soil in place while the rest fell away
Living in the Provo area, I know a lot of Bummer Steves.

Is it proper terminology to pronounce the S at the end of fruits? It is something I never say, unless saying "fruits and vegetables, or fruits of our labour". I'm Canadian, and I am not saying we need to be homogenous linguistically, just wondering about your usage of the word "fruits".
I think fruit is plural and singular. I’m Canadian too and I’ve never said or wrote fruits in 55 yrs.
