It'S Friday, June 13, 2025 from Fish Productions, it's the gist. I'm Mike Pesca. Iran struck. Padilla arrested fans mourning the closing of a Muppet themed courtyard at Disney World. They hold a funeral. Okay, some of today's news bigger than others and we will get to Israel's strike on Iran in the spiel. But first, New York Democrats vote in 11 days and it's a close one. It's either going to be the guy who resigned from higher office because of sexual harassment allegations or the guy who who wants to run city led grocery stores and arrest Benjamin Netanyahu when he visits the United Nations. That guy's name and say it right, is the name is Mamdani. M A M D A N I. You should learn how to say it because we got to get it right. Here's what Andrew Cuomo said to get Mr. Mamdani a bit upset. Mr. Mandami has had a staff of five people. You're not going to run a staff of 300,000 employees. Okay, that sounds like more of a Mandani when it's really Mamdani. But here now is another candidate polling lower, but one who Mamdani's votes second or third place votes in this ranked choice system. Mamdani wants and this candidate is Scott Stringer. And Mandani said it right? Right. Mandani.

That was the same way Cuomo said it. This is not the biggest issue in the campaign. I'm not exactly sure what is. Something like affordability or safety. Cuomo's past is certainly a hurdle. Mamdani has a lot of plans to bring down prices. I guess people like Plans. Imagine the city run grocery store, one in every borough. That's a plan. I do have to say a city establishing and running a grocery store that has never actually worked. It has been tried. There is one in Kansas. They took over a failing store but. But other cities have tried it and it turns out that grocery stores are very good at delivering food at cheap prices. What they're not good at is staving off avian flus that sweep the world. And much of Mamdani's plan seems to be inspired by that. I do have to say the polling is tight and we're all to some extent walking on non city owned eggshells on the show today. Israel strikes. We will get to that in the spiel. But first, Sadie Dingfelder is back. She does a segment called Is that bullshit? We will talk about a claim that we've all heard. But you know, is it bullshit if you talk to plants? The plants like it or at least grow more. The important questions Sadie Dingfelder. Up next, it's time to play the music. It's time to light the mics. It's time to eat the Muppets on the Mupper joint. Father's Day gifts. I don't know, maybe there's a sameness to it. Socks, grills, tools, repeat. This year I wanted to do better. So I quinced it up. Quince makes buying a thoughtful gift easy. They have all the pieces. Dads, I'm one wanna wear organic cotton silk polos. I have to say, did I know I wanted that? I didn't. And then it touched my skin and my skin thanked myself. It was a little, you know, self dealing, as they say. But they also have European linen, beach shorts and awesome pants. And quince is priced 50 to 80% less than what you'd find with similar brands. It is the whole cutting out the middleman, but it really works. They work with top artisans. They don't hit you with the crazy markups. They hit you with the delightful fabrics and these factories that are safe and ethical and responsible. And for Father's Day, I gotta say, I got it for me and then I gave it to my dad. The shirts that I'm talking about, the polo shirts, they were amazing. I didn't want to give them up. I had two. One for me, one for dad. I chose the color that I wanted and they're amazing shirts. And I made my dad love me more. I made him. For the dad who deserves better than basic, Quince has you covered. Go to Quince.com the Gist for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.

Well, to quote a famous songster, I talk to the trees, but they don't listen. In fact, it was sung by Robert Goulet, but also in the movie of paint your wagon, Clint Eastwood, he was the one who talked to the trees. Does it work? I mean, this was basically from the character's perspective, the pointlessness of talking to trees and talking to stars and admitting your love. But there is some body of evidence that talking to plants and trees has some positive properties whereby just a simple conversation can get those begonias in full bloom. To question this, and this is what we subject to all scientific claims is the question is that bullshit, which is a form of fertilizer which will probably help tree growth more than talking to it. And who we speak to, who we talk to about talking to the trees is Sadie Dingfelder. She is the author and the journalist who comes on to the gist. Her book is Do I know you? A Face Blind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, Imagination and Conifers. Hello, Sadie. Welcome back.
