Title: Crime Pays, but Botany Doesn't

I've only watched one so far

The character who narrates, Joey Santore, is modelled on the fathers of kids the creator grew up with in Chicago and, partly, Elwood Blues. He's trying to make botany less stuffy. So he talks about how big the fucking pedicels are the god-damned flowers in the erythranthe genus and how many seeds those bastards can spit out.

That's a pretty entertaining way to get some botany education.  I noticed that he has a centimeters measurement tattooed into his finger.  I could see how that could be super useful.

I asked my wife to watch 10 seconds of this video and she said it's like getting a botany lesson from Tony Soprano.

>> wife

Did she like it, or was she put off by learning botany from Tony Soprano?

She was very busy and only watched ten seconds, but I think she found it entertaining.
