Dude looks tough and sounds tough...grows plants. Love it.
@@mf-- seconded. Best plant channel
@@mf-- thanks for reminding me of the channel
Coz he tough like plants!
Growing plants are hard tho :')
He’s both parts of the Florist/Tattoo shop AU
This man is teaching about plants while dressed all in green and with a lot of plant tattoos.
I am very happy about this.
He has a youtube channel. Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't. There is a link in the video description.
@@mf-- omg ur right, thanks!!
anyone know what compound is printed on his sweater?
@@lelandrb ??
@@lelandrb I don't know but tagging this in case someone finds out, i'm dying of curiosity
dudes a certified Botanist, Biologist, Chemist, Mycologist, and Ecologist. This is the coolest man I've ever seen.
He just knows a Mycologist real well. ;) Alan Rockefeller nice.
As someone who's enjoyed his main channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't for a few years now, I gotta say it is quite frankly bizarre to see him so clean and collected. Usually he's swearing up a storm about the state of suburban sprawl and stuff like that.
Right, in this video we didn't get the "the traditional" sign off.
@@jonathanboone3156 anyway, gfy bye
Is this the same guy?
I was coming here to say the same thing lmao. It's so unfamiliar to see Joey being so calm etc.
don't worry, he hasn't changed lol
the accent, the tattoos, the plant knowledge, this guy is hitting a lot of switches i didn't know i had 🌞
Haha, right?!
I agree 😁
Ikr!
Same!
@@canadiangemstones7636 Ohmygod I thought I recognized him!
This guy is the definition of "never judge a book by its cover"
But maybe you should judge him by his cover he has only plant tattos xD
@@M3h3ndr3 Almost everybody understands evolution wrong.
they all think it is just chance that plants and animals evolve.
Rather it's a combination of many factors including consciousness.
a good example would be the evolution of mimicry and defense mechanisms
I mean he has been to jail. This whole episode has been so weird for me because I haven't hear him cuss once lol
well, he's cover like Botany book
Not gonna lie, pretty good cover too
The next Pokemon Grass-type gym leader NEEDS to be based off this guy.
Gym leader? This guy deserved to at least be an Elite Four
No way Nintendo would do it based on how Japan views tattoos.
I love that he's absolutely covered in ink... and it's all botanical. 10/10
This guy is literally the embodiment of breaking down stereotypes. I would have had ZERO idea he would have anything to do with plants, let along be wicked intelligent about it.
I would have. 'Cause of all them plant tattoos lolol
Have you seen his RUclips "Crime Pays Botany Doesn't"?
don’t judge based on appearance come on lol
Nah, in the real world, intelligent people come in all forms. On the internet however, everyone is convinced the world is composed of nothing but stereotypes.
He’s entirely self-taught.
I don't know if this is still the case but Joey said he didn't get paid yet for this video. PAY UP for the great content! He deserves it.
He looks like a guy you want to pay in time.
Pay the man smh
He looks looks like the type of guy who had an teamster uncle who accidentally fell down an elevator shaft onto some bullets.
Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't is his actual YT channel name
Hope he has been by now. Glad for the plug for his own channel too.
I'm sorry, but did you find the best person to talk to me about plants in the history of man? I want more of this guy.
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't is his youtube channel. 90% of his videos he's out there with the plants in the wild showing up close ups and everything, he's awesome! While being even funnier than he was in this video.
You guys should have him on again! A part 2 is badly needed!
No. Not if they don’t pay on time
This is the guy we want as a teacher. It'd be cool to have him.
He is your teacher
Sure he whack bad kids, may be
Forget about it
@@DuranmanX Ayyyyyyy
I’m proud to contribute as your 666th like.
I loved that WIRED gave up bleeping him about halfway through.
@@cortisonesss wKwKwK
Ahh but he didn't give us his usual sign off either tho. "have a nice day go eff yourself" I was waiting for it the whole time :X lol (His RUclips channel is (Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't")
yeah newish youtube rule is you only get striked for swearing in the first 4ish min
@@philipbutler ahhh, I didn't know that. Interesting
This man is self-taught. I have followed him for a while. He has grown so much in popularity that schools now turn to him. He even answers someone who asks him how to become a botanist.
So weird to have him end a video without “gfy bye” 😂. I really liked this one and truly appreciate how it covered so many plant topics. Thanks Joey! You’ve really amped up my appreciation of native plants and now I can’t stop looking for them in every place I go.
HAHAH yes I was expecting the gfy bye too. I love him so much!!!!
❤Have a good rest of your day! ??? Now I'll spend the rest of my day confused, is this an AI simulator? What have they done with Joe?
I’m so glad about his message on plant medicine. The “it’s natural, it’s better” mentality drives me insane.
I had a patient die of a heart attack because he didn’t want to take a statin medication (lowers risk of heart attack) because it’s “not natural, and it’ll interfere with my ginkgo supplement”
Same here. I was like, “Preach!” 👏🏿👏🏿
Yes
I love nature, and spend a lot of time there. And no, nature is not nice, even if it is beautiful. Nature mostly wants to eat you. As long as you know that, you can get along fine with nature. It's these fuzz brains that think that nature loves them that go camping and never come back.
you should check out his hippie dippie grocery store tour, then. I dont remember if its whole foods or trader joe's, either way its probably up your aisle.
I must say Wired you are really doing your homework. I’ve been watching Crime Pays But botany Doesn’t for so long and I feel he’s such a pillar to my RUclips experience. It’s great to know somebody over at big channel like Wired is watching the stuff I’m watching. Much love guys!
Yes! I've been following his RUclips channel for a long time. Great job, Wired!
Same. So happy to see him here.
For real!! Love seeing big channels recognize and support smaller channels, makes me like wired even more for doin this, hope they bring him back too!
Very shocking to hear him end a video without "go fck yourself, bye"
@@sc4ml1kely true, this was a very sanitized version of him lol!
Nothing better than an aggressively working class accent dropping extreme knowledge. 10/10, an unbeaten genre, Love it.
Yes!!🙌
what does that even mean
Bring him back. We need a part 2
Joey Stantore posts RUclips videos as Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.
I love how he calls himself a mook and then goes into these pretty in depth explanations about plant anatomy and geneology. He also looks great in green and is smashing the idea that smart people can't have tattoos or accents.
It’s 2022, that ideology is smashed already. He goes into in depth explanations of botany, ecology, and evolutionary biology… lol. Idk what y’all picture a botanist looking like, but spoilers, we’re just humans lol
@@coltonp7149 My comment is based purely on how he called himself a mook. He basically says, "Im a low level/ working class person who isn't very smart" and then goes into a great botany mini lecture. The purposeful juxtaposition speaks to my sense of humor. The last part is based in my own experience being encouraged to code switch, change my hair, and cover up tattoos in order to "look more professional" Professional appearance standards are slowly changing but there is still pressure to soften accents and cover body mods....even in 2022.
I cannot imagine a Nobel prize winner (Physics and chemistry, let's say) not having an accent xD.
@@_ZeroQueen_ he is a low level working class person. This is just his hobby
what are u talking about everyone has an accent lol
Edit: and tbh most younger botanists i know have tattoos haha
Joey is fantastic and Wired really should credit his personal youtube channel: "Crime Pays but Botany Doesnt". He's amazing.
His channel is listed near the top in the description.
I KNEW HE SOUNDED FAMILIAR
Cpbbd has been one of my most watched channels of this year lol
Oh that's him!!! I've never seen his face before
@@Miskinello that's because he's too cute to show on camera.
He's great. I love his channel.
As soon as he started talking in this I had to double check what channel this was on.
Now I'm off to "go f_ _k myself ..!"
At least that's what usually happens about now.
🙂
This guy cut all the BS and kept it so real while discussing plants. Give this man a TV show.
he already has a sucessful youtube channel! www.youtube.com/@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt/
He has one. It's called: crime pays but botany doesnt. it's amazing
He has one, it's called Kill Your Lawn, check it out.
The fact this video didn’t end with a “go f*ck yourself bye” threw me off.
“If you wanna get all woo woo about it open up an organic chemistry textbook” might be a new favorite quote lol.
To the person who asked how long it takes to grow peyote:
The real psychedelic and spiritual journey was the journey to grow it all along.
Thus guy gets it
I would love to grow peyote for purely aesthetic and conservatory reasons but yeah growing your own psychedelics really makes a profound difference in the experience
San Pedro grows faster too if that’s what he was looking for but yes the journey of growing is lovely too!
I didnt catch that question in the video, can someone time stamp it?. (Btw i also grow peyote and san pedros, peyotes grow about 1cm a year they start up their lives with 5 ribs and will add a rib abour every 5 years or so, so you can estimate a peyotes age by the number of ribs. I also graft peyote onto san pedro which makes it grow 1000x faster but it loses its “medicinal” qualities, over all really beautiful plants to grow and stare at
Mind blown!!🤯
He's not the idea of "botanist" the most of us have in our minds. And that is awesome.
My man got a mushroom question and didn’t blink even though it’s not his field. Mycologist and botanist
Love this video as a lover of biogeography and botany.
This guy was great, everything he said was interesting, his botany knowledge is obviously immense. This is one of the best supports to come out for a while
Definitely check out his youtube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't if you haven't already, it's incredible
he's had a few years in university and then dropped out and was a train conductor for awhile, his other channel is very entertaining but he does have a propensity to have some rather salty adjectives interspersed with the knowledge
@@harrywoodman2988 sometimes what we all need is a little salt in our communication diet.
@@mdog86 Wow I didn't realize this was him!! I guess I should've recognized the voice lol. He's the best.
@@harrywoodman2988 This is accurate but also the reason his channel is so good.
I love a man who says things like, “Plant taxonomy is my favorite subject.”
It's the accent and vivacious intellect that got me like 😏
Not one F bomb, what‘s up with dat
@@mariabaumgartel766 5:45
I've worked in landscaping and have met several tattooed/rough and tumbled guys who have taught me more about plants than anyone else! One guy could tell you what any type of mushroom was just by looking at it
I cannot find a single fault with this man. He is perfection. 🥰
No way! Botany has finally paid!
a shocking development
don’t overwater him though!
actually on his live stream last Sunday he said they still haven't paid him lol
@@sooocheesy really????
Crime pays is one of the most underrated channels on youtube. You’re seriously missing out if you haven’t seen Joey’s stuff. GFY
Sure adds to my knowledge and my humor quota…love this guy.
GFY, bye!
@@eLGeeJR Right! Wish he threw that in there but I get it... might not be the right platform for that
What is wrong with me that I am dissatisfied and mildly angry about not being told," GFY bye!"
7:09 I studied evolutionary biology at uni and wrote an essay on the plants of New Caledonia. The plants there are an amazing example of how geology can influence the diversity of plants; the soil has many areas with incredibly high levels of heavy metals interspersed with areas of other concentrations and the plants have had to adapt to tolerate that. Totally different plant communities can be separated by distances of a couple of hundred metres, and it's really fascinating!
I love Joey Santore, I've been watching Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't for years now, and I can tell u this guy really knows what he is into. He is so smart and passionate about Botany.
🌵 My favorite botanist. 🌿
He rules!
Changed my peoples perception of botany!
He's doing amazing things with his You Tube channel.
I bought a book he recommended called Botany In A Day. Best money I ever spent.
I’m gonna watch just based off that title 😂
This guy should be snatched up by a university ASAP. He is 💯 the type of teacher who can reach/inspire students interested in the field.
I could not disagree more. The university environment would do him no good, and I can’t see where his know.edge needs any boosting.
@@mencken8 He'd be a great teacher. Perhaps teach in an extension program where he wouldn't have to deal with all the academic flim-flam.
@@nycbearff Yeah, he's a natural. Just watch his videos. I doubt he'd want the BS to deal with teaching at any kind of "respectable" institution.
Such students go about it self taught, as Joey did. You, like most people on this comment thread, are drawn to entertainers. Joey's an entertainer in this context.
I've learned a lot more with him being in front of a paywall.
There's something absolutely delightful of an "old mook" being this well educated and articulate. Fantastic video.
If my plant anatomy prof had been half as interested as Joey then maybe I wouldn't have been half asleep in class.
Been watching Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't for years now and am glad to see Joey here. Will say, to all you seeing him for the first time here. This is him being tame, like, incredibly tame. Go check him out for a riotous good time and lots of learning.
you convinced me, im heading to his channel after this. seems like a top bloke
He is a great guy. Super knowledgeable and incredibly crass with his humor. Travels to a lot of really interesting places and gushes about the plants and geography.
Thank you! Was looking for this comment.
Me too man freaking love this guy cheers
Same this is why I couldn’t believe it was him, not enough cursing tho
Having watched Joey’s channel for a while, that was certainly a begrudged “Have a nice rest of your day.”
haveanicedaygofuggyurselfbye.
Walking his daag by the baag "Go F yourself bye." xD
Gfy
Lmaoooo yuhh
Have a great rest of your day..........gfys.............bye
Dude it's amazing to see how far this man has come, just spreading the knowledge of botany. I remember watching his videos years ago and he was in Chicago going over ditch weed and other plants thriving in strange neglected places. Now getting a slot with a WIRED is pretty fuckin tight to see.
Ey, Wired. This have to be, of all the amazing experts, the chillest due you've ever had on. It's so cool to see sort of a Mafioso speaking, and looking dude, with the accent and all, and the sort of slangy, chill language and behaviour, and the dude just LOOOVES plants! It is just amazing!
14:50 _“Open up a f*ckin Organic Chemistry textbook, you know, rather than watching some hippy snake oil salesman on RUclips”_ 🤣😂 I love this guy.
Yep gotta be my fav part.
So true and that they forgot to bleep it surprised me lol
this guy got me into botany over 2 1/2 years ago, and gave such a great model for learning botany and natural sciences without necessarily being in higher education.
Same! His getting started video is great. I got the books he recommended too
This is probably my favourite episode so far - Joey is so charismatic and those answers so clear! Talk about a stylish delivery too! Definitely makes me want to learn more about this subject :)
I didn’t even realize I wanted to know all those things but he presented the info in such an absorbable and entertaining way, it was impossible to not enjoy this video.
Hands down my favourite episode in the series yet. I love the way this man talks. Between his casual use of scientific vocabulary without dumbing down and clear concise responses juxtaposed with his 'fuhgeddaboudit' affect, swearing and tattoos... I'm all in. I'd take his masterclass in hot minute. More like this! 👍
You're in luck because he does do online masterclasses every so often, though they are not free. But he has a buckload of free and super informative content on his channel Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't, where he's out in the field showing all kinds of plants and teaching all about them. Check it out!
He also tends to ham up the Chicago accent on his channel, which I think is funny.
Go watch his channel. He's great! Been watching him for years. Travels all over the world and talks about plants. But much more colorfully.
Perfect synopsis of his videos! I 💯% agree with you 😄
@@claytonfs lol....is that Chicago?!😄
I've watched this dude for ages. Love that he's been picked up by wired for a video. Make his videos a regular thing!
Where do you see his videos?? I am now hooked. Will be searching RUclips!!
@@kelliesaunders4905 Crime pays, but botany Doesn't is the channel name. it's linked in the description
@@madamemara9129 thank you so much! I finally got myself together and figured it out lol
I am a big fan of learning plants.
Yeah was mad stoked to see his face on the thumbnail!
22:38 love this! So many people think anything end with a “-ist” you have to have a degree in it. But it’s just someone who studies plants. Anyone can be a botanist, you just gotta enjoy the subject of botany and be knowledgeable
Bring him back please
out of ALL botanists, you chose Joey Santore. THANK YOU. Dreams do come true.
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't is one of greatest online joys. I could listen to this guy read a stack of restaurant menus.
Dude is such a good teacher, so much fascinating knowledge.
I love this guy
I don't know half tf word he says but sure gets me more interested
I can't believe you got Joey on here. This guy is so underrated
I hope his channel blows up after this, he deserves it
Wired- very smart move. This needs to be a regular feature. Your audience gets the usual high quality content despite missing the dogs, most of the f-bombs, Joey's alter ego and his heartfelt signoff. His channel is a long form banger.
I second this. More Joey, please!
His channel is the best. He talks in a way I don't mind listening to on a subject I never thought about. Real in the best way possible.
Love this channel. Thank you Joey for hanging in there and creating a place for us all to become engaged in botany.
Here's another reason why I love this guy. He's a straight shooter because @13:25 he breaks it down like it is. And even though I love plant medicine myself. I hate the recklessness with which it's handled and consumed in the psychonaut community. Because it's honestly really irresponsible, and there's a lot of misinformation that gets spread around and thought of as truthful. I'm always amazed at his wealth of information and I *love* his Chicago accent too. It feels comforting like our hometown 😃❤️
crime pays but botany doesn't is his RUclips page, great stuff.
I've been watching his RUclips channel for about two years now and the way he rattles off scientific names and rants about human encroachment on natural habitats is fantastic. Also, the way he talks to and about plants is pleasantly naughty, hilarious and all around awesome.
I appreciate it when Joey interjects with a scientific name/term and then explains what it means.
Crime Pays but Botany Doesnt
Wired should just be called “everything that’s interesting.” Your content is so consistently awesome!
This dude sounds like he's in the mafia, heavily tattooed like a movie villain, shows attitude like a mobster, and totally explained quite a lot of my plant keeping failures. Love it.
So he is a villain, a mobster, and must be a criminal due to having tattoos. Got that racism on a low simmer, huh bud.
It ain’t racism, it’s stereotype. And you can blame the movies for that, not this person. Plus they specifically said “like ~”, implying that he is not those things, but has the same charm they would.
@Colton Price, also, it’s not odd to give someone a second check just because they have tattoos. If you look at onsen (“bath houses” I think it’s translated to?), they usually won’t allow anyone with a tattoo in due to them having too much of a relation with the Japanese Yakuza. You may be able to slip on by if you’re a foreigner and “gaijin smash” your way in but even then they have the right to turn you down.
@@coltonp7149
Notice that he uses the word “like” and you used the word “is.” When the word “like” is used comparatively, it is a literary device known as a simile. Very weird how you tweaked the original comment to say what you wanted it to say
Why are y’all still talking? I didn’t invite conversation, I just stated a fact. Move on?
if you close your eyes its like rocket racoon is telling you about plants.
😂
“Just don’t drink it lil dude” lol
Saw Joey in the thumbnail, had to click. As a generalist, I combine plants, animals, and geology to form intentional self sustaining ecosystems that human beings are a part of, so I have SOME knowledge of Botany .. but Mr. Santore is a proper botanist, and entertaining to listen to as well. He often reveals things that I either didn't know, or hadn't thought about in a while .. and that makes me better at MY job. National treasure, this guy.
So like a larger scale vivarium?
as a generalist? a what? what do you do??
Generalist, ilike that
I would love to take a botany class headed by this man. Knowledgeable, factual but so very worldly. No pretentiousness. I love it.
He has some online sessions on his channel crimepaysbutbotanydoesn't
He should do a master class. I’d take it.
Soon as he got to the leaves changing color I dropped everything and paid so much attention. It’s my favorite thing about autumn.
This is easily one of my favorite Tech Support videos! Bring this guy back if he's willing - I could listen to him talk about plants for hours.
Absolutely loved this video, the charisma on this man is insane.
He's got an awesome RUclips channel. Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t is his channel. Great stuff.
i really love how even if some of the questions were really basic and not as complex, he still gives really detailed answers without caring about how simple/easy the question might seem
He is a brilliant teacher. Best of all anyone with yt can tale his classes for free
Loved it, need part 2.
He gives me the vibes of retired mafia boss turned botanist. In a good way
This guy and the Mortician Support guy, the vibes are just perfect and they seem really excited to share what they know.
Joey Santore literally got me into growing because of his channel. He's a great teacher and great character. A good and wonderful sharing man. Learning while laughing. Wonderful. I'm on my second year garden and growth.
growing what
"how do plants evolve if they don't have a brain?" This is probably the most creative question I've heard this year 🤣 not sure where in life they took their wrong turn to get to that point
It was a 9 year old
@@channeleditor9335 still a crazy question for that age
It was asked by a child.
this dude sounds and looks like a mob boss
and this guy grows plants
amazing
My understanding of why Durian smells so bad is that in its natural habitat there's a large range between trees. The primary consumer of the fruit in the wild is the Orangutan. So the extreme smell is a way for the fruit to be easily found, consumed, and the seeds spread
Do they smell "bad" tho? I always thought they just have a strong smell. Strong smell doesn't necessarily mean bad smell. Just a smell but with higher intensity.
@@ub-4630 People who aren't familiar with the scent often describe it as meaty and rotten smelling when they first smell it. I thought it smelled like old urinal cakes and porta-potty, in my experience!
Joeys about to get those tv deals I’m so stoked to see him succeed
I think he will be careful about what gigs or endorsements he takes. If you've watched his videos for a long time you probably know how he feels about all that. But I agree! Him and his brand are really starting to grow which is awesome to see!
@@SomethingSeemsOff I'm just happy to see him doing well 🤘
This is the most lacking editing ive seen in terms of image support for the things the guy says
My single Patreon , Joey Santoro. He's the real deal.
More of this guy. I want to just sit and have a beer or five with him and ask him everything about plants.
Subscribe to his channel called ‘Crime Pays but Botany Doesn’t’. He has 500 videos.
I really enjoyed how Joey regularly used technical terms, and then explained them in layman's words. This made the video so enjoyable and educational. Awesome, thank you!
I feel like I have learned so much
Joey is clear, concise and his manner is so lovely
Like I'm so new to this topic but I never felt lost or unclear when he explained
I really enjoyed this one
The way Joey answers the questions is so interesting that the editor forgot to censor a f--- or s--- here and there.
The coolness and chill of this guy makes me feel seen as a plant parent who's neither lonely nor a mass murderer
I never made the best grades in school, but if the experts Wired finds were my teachers, I would do much better, since they’re the people you wish were your teachers
I think Joey teaches some online classes now/ occasionally. He posted some links a while ago on his youtube channel, Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't.
Legit! The math one had me understanding concepts multiple years of education could not get me to grasp
This man made me realize the connection between the words orchid and orchiectomy. Love that
Seriously buddy you're a really devout plant guy. Really admirable. All the best to your career!
Joey is a treasure. Crime Pays but Botany doesn't almost always makes me grin for hours, while at the same time learning new factlets about botany.
Please bring this wise guy back.
Not what I was expecting, but, as with most things it was even better.
This guy rocks!
His channel is Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t. I follow him and get to watch new videos every few days. Totally worth the time!
The most facts listed out in a 26 minute period ever! Fascinating, I loved everything about this!
His hesetation before saying his signature outro was very funny.
I'm so glad Joey got featured on Wired to share his knowledge with a wider audience. There's an entire universe outside of the world humans created. Learning about plants is good for your brain and good for the plants.
I hope his channel blows up after this, he deserves it
Joey Santore is an amazing inspiration. This dude absolutely rocks and I'm glad to see him increase his platform.
Habitually watching Crim Pays But Botany Doesnt, its cool to see Joey not using his bombastic over the top sarcastic character and not swearing, and being just as dialed in, in his element. This dude really is versatile. Very good watch.
I would watch 2 hours of this guy talking about plants
