Hey, guys.

How is it poppin?

Life updates, started a new job.

Have a set schedule now.

Look at you.

I just got back from the Outer Banks.

Did a little mermaid hunting.

Did not find any mermaids.

Did see some dolphins.

Ooh.

But no mermaids.

You don’t like dolphins.

Can I ask, dolphins are vicious.

We’ve talked about this before.

Everyone’s like, you should do an episode.

I’m like, it’s not a conspiracy, guys.

It’s a fact.

Oogle it, people.

Let me ask you a question, Kait.

As a resident at some point of North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia, who are the worst drivers?

Maryland, hands down.

Maryland drivers.

And I’m sorry to put you guys on blast, but y’all are the worst.

We’ll be blasted.

Absolute worst.

Yeah, I drive up and down the East Coast often, and Maryland is always the worst experience.

I’d take New York City any day.

It’s just like the…

Although Connecticut can be a little annoying.

Everyone in Maryland thinks that they have to be somewhere before everyone else.

Very egotistical.

Yes, I am not sorry.

I’m putting you on blast, Maryland.

I don’t think…

This can’t be news to anybody.

You had an experience though, didn’t you?

Yeah, I didn’t really wanna take it there, but I’ll take it there.

I was spoken to by a road rager in a way I have never been spoken to before, guys.

I was on a back beach road, okay?

And all of a sudden, guys, I feel like this is my crowd, I can share this with you.

I had tried to pre-plot a Sonic stop on my drive for a Diet Coke because we don’t have Sonic around here.

But everything was like four minutes off, and I was like, I don’t want it that bad.

But as I’m driving down the street, there’s a big old Sonic sign.

So I look over my shoulder, no one’s there.

I put on my left blinker.

I also have the safety alert.

You would think it would beep if someone was behind me.

Right.

Okay, so again, sir, in your red truck, I apologize if I cut you off, but I make a left hand turn into the Sonic parking lot, and I pull up to the drive-through.

And this guy, I watched him follow me through the whole parking lot.

And I was like, this man is going very quick, very aggressive.

He must really want some Sonic.

And then he cut me off in front of the drive-through, and the lady’s trying to talk to me.

And I’m like, I’m sorry, I’m getting yelled at.

As he opened his door, I mean, in retrospect, he could have like come at me with a baseball bat.

I was just going to say, he could have hurt you.

He could have shot you.

But he just got out and started screaming at me, calling me profanity I have never heard.

And-

And Megan worked in Baltimore, guys.

She’s heard some profanity.

I’ve talked to, and, but anyway, I just kind of like smiled at him.

And then, and the lady’s trying to talk to me.

I said, hold on, I’m getting yelled at.

And then I placed my order for my large Diet Coke.

The fact that you committed with the Diet Coke is what makes the story all worth it.

That I didn’t just give up?

Yeah, you got your Diet Coke.

You deserve that.

Then I’m thinking, I could have died for this Diet Coke.

And then when I pulled up the delightful lady, she was like, what was that?

And then I said, I must have accidentally cut him off.

I didn’t think so.

And I’m like pointing to like, I’m like, I turned right there.

And she’s looking and she goes, that man took time out of his day.

To yell at you.

To follow you.

Again.

Anyway, and I was like, welcome to North Carolina.

But she was delightful.

She was so nice.

She was like, that man was crazy.

You have a beautiful day.

And I like to think that if he had like pulled a gun on me, she was probably watching.

She had a big camera.

She had to hit the panic button.

But here’s the thing.

I don’t actually know what I did to this guy who followed me and screamed it because his message was lost, you know?

Yeah.

When did we stop honking horns and just start giving people the finger and screaming at them?

There’s other ways to communicate in the car besides chasing each other down.

Like if someone’s cutting me off, I give them a polite little beep like, hey, don’t switch lanes into me, you know?

If somebody is coming over in my lane, I am laying on the horn.

That’s fine too, but here’s what I’m saying is I had two interactions on my road trip up here, okay?

And then my friend told me that she witnessed a road rage accident in Richmond the other day where someone drove someone off the road.

Right, people are crazy.

And then I had a second situation where I was driving with my cruise control on and people were merging on to the highway.

And so I tried to switch into the left lane when that happens, but there were people coming from my left side.

So I ended up just having to break, like slow down.

And I don’t know if, I don’t know what I did.

I apologized to that man with the Gamecock sticker on his car.

I apologize to that man.

But instead of like a little, I would have taken a horn honk.

He stuck his middle finger out the window at me.

And I’m just like, what post-COVID did we start to treat people this way, guys?

And I would like a, I was thinking maybe we get Ryan in on this study.

Ryan, who’s a friend of the pod.

Yeah.

I need someone to do some kind of psychological investigation into like-

Post-pandemic regression.

Like, I think, I know.

We all were told not to socialize for years.

Yeah.

And now we don’t know how to interact.

Nobody knows how to interact.

Yes.

I’m not joking.

Social media is like off the charge.

Depression is off the charge charts.

And it’s all because nobody knows how to interact.

Like their whole social circle is like TikTok influencers, and that’s sad.

And then it’s so cringey to talk to people outside.

That’s like the thing.

Like, oh my gosh, so embarrassing, so cringey.

I can’t believe you just went up to that person and said, hey, anyway, we digress.

So is it time for our shout out here today?

Shout out.

Let’s see, who do I have here?

I have Mike, AKA dad.

There’s two fathers that are Mike’s, but this one’s not my dad.

This one’s definitely my dad.

He says, you 3SchemeQueens are doing a great job with your podcast, exclamation point.

Interesting, funny and thought provoking, another exclamation point.

It is an enjoyable listen, exclamation point.

Oh my God, that’s so nice.

Keep rolling.

Keep rolling.

Exclamation point.

That’s how he knows.

Does he say keep rolling?

He says, keeps rolling.

Yeah.

Thanks dad.

Yeah, popping champagne witches.

Oh, I’m thinking like, like a G6.

Oh yeah.

Like a, like a G6.

Yeah, I know that song.

Feeling so fly.

I just listened to Taylor Swift.

That’s like old songs, Megan.

That’s like your guys’ era, man.

Like college.

I mean, in college, I was listening to Taylor Swift.

No, wait, you were listening to, what’s it?

Corey Smith.

Corey Smith.

Yeah, it’s Corey Smith.

He’s like a Southern college guy.

He just like performs like in the Southeast at college towns.

Dave Matthews.

Oh, Dave Matthews, Sack Brown.

We are drinking not just champagne.

Champagne with some glitter.

It’s the edible glitter, guys.

Glitter, glitter, glitter.

Not to be confused with glitter, like Mariah Carey.

Yeah.

Like the 2001 film that has an IMDB rating of 2.4 out of 10 stars.

Follows the story of a young singer who dates a disc jockey who helps her get into the music business, but their relationship becomes complicated as she ascends to superstardom.

Might be a BMC film.

Shout out to Bad Movie Club.

Yeah, so glitter, unlike the Mariah Carey, and more like the microplastics, is glitter in everything we eat.

You’re gonna give me so much anxiety with this one.

Is glitter in our food?

Have you ever done arts and crafts?

Have I ever.

And have you ever found tiny little sparkles on your clothings, your hands, your pants?

For months.

For months?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you ever think to yourself, how far do these microplastics go?

I’ve never thought that.

But I’m intrigued.

What if I told you, the number one buyer of glitter remains unnamed and hidden.

We have no concept of where the tremendous amount of glitter is going in this country and in this world.

Is it in our food?

Is it in our drinks?

Is it in paint?

Today, we’ll find out.

I mean, I feel like it isn’t me.

Yeah, there’s some.

But in our food, in the air?

Let’s…

I believe.

Is that why…

I immediately believe it, cancer causing.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.

So right on the bat…

Is that why we’re all asthmatics?

So right on the bat, I discovered this conspiracy once again on TikTok.

A viral TikTok came across my For You page, and it was a girl talking about a New York Times article that went in depth on where glitter is produced and the fact that these companies are so secretive about their number one customers.

And so I took that viral TikTok and did my own research slash mooched off the research of others and discovered a tremendous amount of facts about glitter, mostly the science behind glitter and how it is actually extremely complicated.

I don’t know if you guys had any concept of, is it like a polymer?

It does have to do with different polymers.

There’s different ways to produce glitter.

Like there’s different sources from the original base.

So glitter is just cut up tiny pieces, right?

And there’s different big things that they cut up to make these tiny pieces.

But that is a part of the confusion, part of the science, but the most intriguing part of it is how they cut it up.

And that is where this conspiracy became so secretive.

Glitter itself was invented in the 1940s, which I don’t know if people realize that.

World War II, like Oppenheimer?

Yeah, just around then.

So I’m gonna go more in depth about the 1940s era, but the research in regards to the glitter production in America started with the second biggest company.

So there’s two main companies, both produce glitter for the world, and they both exist in New Jersey.

And so this viral TikTok and conspiracy started with a New York Times interview with the company GlitterX, okay?

Specifically, the definition of glitter, like the most basic you can get, is aluminum, metallized, polyethylene, teve-thalate, okay?

That’s like the scientific term.

Aluminum, metallized, metallized, polyethylene, teve-thalate, teve-thalate.

And it takes, fun fact.

Maybe we should have had the chemistry major read that one.

It takes over, it takes over a thousand years to biodegrade.

Did you guys know that?

It made me really conceptualize how often I should be using glitter.

Is this the reason, is it just glitter that’s causing the iceberg to melt?

Nothing else, not my straw, but glitter?

Really thinking about glitter.

That was just a fun fact.

I felt like everybody should know right out of the bat that-

That is wild, and as of now, my days of glitter use are over.

Weaned down.

So yeah, we’re gonna be talking about the viral TikTok that interviewed GlitterX.

There’s two companies in New Jersey.

The original TikTok only listed GlitterX because the second most largest company refused to be interviewed, refused to partake in the interview, and refused to be named in the interview.

That’s suspicious.

However, in 2023, that secret secrecy was broken.

So we have a fresh hot, a fresh off the press update on the Glitter conspiracy.

So I’m gonna go into that.

I’m gonna go over what the viral TikTok found, a little bit more in depth, and then we’re gonna go into the 2023 update.

So GlitterX, second largest company in New Jersey.

They’re both right out of New York City.

And the New York Times interviewed Lauren Dyer.

She was the company’s representative at the time.

This is GlitterX’s rep.

They were interviewed by the New York Times.

And at first she just gave a general tour of the factory and gave some fun facts about glitter and how this was interesting to me.

What color do you think is the most popular glitter?

Purple.

Silver.

Silver.

Yeah, I thought that was fun.

And Lauren was quoted when asked who their number on customer was.

She said, quote, No, I absolutely know that I can’t divulge that to you.

And you would never guess it.

Never.

Let’s just leave it at that.

Because they don’t want anybody to know it’s glitter.

What?

So they know who their number one customer is.

They know this company, industry, whatever, buys the most glitter in the world, does not want us to know it’s glitter, and does not want us to know it’s them.

What could they be using glitter for?

Exactly.

Megan, you turned so fast.

Glitter itself invented in the 1940s.

We’re gonna go into that decade.

GlitterX, the company was invented in the 1960s.

That’s how long GlitterX has been around.

So the New York Times kind of listed the top biggest theories that people came up with.

Makeup, paint, specifically boat paint.

Oh, yeah.

Toothpaste, money, passports, camouflage, specifically military camouflage.

Oh, interesting.

Reflective clothing, road paint.

And then for some reason, listed as one of the bigger ones was funeral homes.

Interesting.

So I don’t know why funeral homes.

I’m gonna go into the person who invented glitter.

We’re gonna talk about him.

Yeah, how was this glitter going to be done?

I guess I’m just trying to think that like, yeah, okay, we’re gonna be pooping glitter for a while.

Yeah, yeah.

Sparkly poop.

I’ll just glance over it and then we’re gonna get one more in depth.

But there’s different types of glitter.

So glitter is one big thing cut into little things.

So there’s natural glitter.

So there’s like stones.

Oh, okay, okay.

So I don’t know if mica is the edible one, but there is edible glitter.

There is natural glitter, and then there’s the metal glitter, plastic glitter, that’s the majority of what glitter is created, of which glitter is created, right?

So yeah, the biggest theory is boat paint and like military camouflage.

Those are like the biggest theory or camouflage of some way.

That’s like what most of the people polled for the New York Times thought.

I thought boat paint was interesting.

Like I didn’t think boats are that sparkly.

Well, no, they kind of do have that like…

But like why not car paint?

Yeah, I would think it’d be the same as car paint.

Also, I guess I’m feeling like the way she answered that question of like, I can’t tell you who our number one customer is, makes me think it’s a company that maybe has some kind of monopoly on something.

Like car paint or boat paint, there’s probably a number of companies doing that.

It makes it seem like it’s one company buying it.

Immediately, that makes me think of food.

That’s what I thought too.

Immediately, I was thinking, oh, it’s in our drinks.

Like it’s gotta be in like energy drinks or things like that.

But like when you look at like Diet Coke, for example, which is our number one, it doesn’t seem sparkly.

I don’t know how they could hide that.

Yeah.

But I think of like powdered things, like lemonade or something.

I’m thinking like on your chips, like Cheetos.

I’m sorry, like the government cheese.

Yes, that’s what I’m saying.

Like if they powder it.

I feed my cat Cheetos.

Right, that’s what I’m saying.

Like what is on?

You’re worried more about your cat eating Cheetos.

Or like those flecks on chip, like the sour cream and onion flecks.

Oh my gosh, what about on the Cooler Ranch Doritos?

And there’s like the little, there’s different colors.

Yes.

So we talk about what you can see with your eye visibly, right?

So Glitter X, Lauren Dyer, the rep, went in a little bit on the science behind Glitter.

I also, I’m sorry, I wonder if Lauren Dyer still has a job after this.

I do wonder that too.

It absolutely exploded after her interview.

Okay, go ahead.

So Glitter follows a spectrum of color and light, all about the color and light wave.

Wave, wave, wave forms.

And so, you know, there’s the prism that we can see to our natural eye, the rainbow.

So it goes from violet, and then after violet is ultraviolet.

And then beyond that, the human eye cannot see it.

So they could very easily be using Glitter that we cannot visibly see.

Because none of this is surprising to me, in that half the way.

Hippie Kay is not surprised.

I mean, I’m also going back to your second theory.

I’m sorry, I jumped back, but I’m just thinking about your second theory about it.

If it’s like B-News for camouflage or something, it’s making me think I can 100% believe that the number one consumer that wants it to be top secret would be the government.

Oh, yeah, you’re right.

Yeah, it is the government.

What they’re doing with it is the question.

Yeah.

Well, proceed.

I’m glad you thought of that, Megan.

So after reading this entire interview, at the very beginning, it lists LiterX as one company and the other company being secretive.

And so I’m reading this and I’m like, what the heck is the other company and why is that company so secretive?

So the other company, which we discovered in another interview that I read about, there was a huge YouTube vlog that I watched.

It was about 40 minutes long and we’ll link it in our sources.

I did.

I watched it in Kait’s living room.

It was really good, really easy to follow.

These two men also saw this TikTok, also were interested in our filmmakers.

And so they went in deep.

So a lot of my sources comes from them.

And they actually were able to crap the code to discover the other secret company.

So myth busters.

Is that the word I’m looking for?

I don’t know how exactly secretive it is, but you can at least discover who the inventor of glitter is.

So the inventor of glitter is this gentleman called Henry F.

Rushman.

Henry F.

Rushman had a precision cutting company.

He’s a German immigrant coming to America.

He had the tools that he just keeps calling them precision cutting.

What year did he come here?

Do we know?

1940s.

Was he part of Operation Paperclip?

He was a part of the Manhattan Project.

Oh, no.

Yep.

So Henry F.

Rushman came to America, started his precision cutting company, and was invited to join the Manhattan Project.

So Henry Rushman was invited by the government to join the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, which I don’t know if our listeners have recently been in the movie theaters, but this all revolves around the invention of the atomic bomb.

Oh my gosh.

So Henry actually created glitter by mistake.

So he was contracted by the government to use sheets of mica, which is a stone, to then create washers, which would go in the center of the atomic bomb, in which the rod that created the chemical reaction that created the bomb would go through the mica washers.

So in the process of cutting the mica, fine, sparkly powder went into the air, and that is the original glitter that Henry Rushman invented.

A glitter bomb.

This is so exciting, because I’m thinking about these bombs that were going to destroy the world were just glitter, and we’re just like, yeah, breathing this knowledge.

It was just sparkly stones.

And we wonder.

You can find Henry as the inventor of glitter, but discovering his connection to the government was truly made popular by Robert Seeley, who is an industrial writer.

He writes journalism about industrial companies and things like that.

So Robert Healy personally met the Rushman family.

So there is a descendant of the original Henry Rushman that currently run his glitter company to this day.

I don’t know if it was his son or grandson, Henry W.

Rushman is the only descendant willing to talk to the public because he was fired by his siblings.

He was no longer working for the company, not allowed to be associated with the company, so he’s talking with everybody.

Should have had him sign an NDA.

I know, I was like, oh my God.

So Henry Rushman, Henry F.

Rushman, the original Rushman, the inventor of glitter, was at his company, which was not a glitter company at the time, it’s a precision cutting company.

And actually when you talk to Glitter X and when these gentlemen were interviewing the Rushman descendant, they call it a precision cutting company.

They don’t always refer to it as a glitter company because that’s not just what they’re doing.

They’re not just making glitter, they’re specifically precisely cutting things.

But you were talking about Picatinny Arsenal, which is a military base in New Jersey.

Yep, and it is a part of military research and manufacturing.

So the Rushman company and family had like a partnership with Picatinny, along with other government-

They’re making glitter bombs.

Yeah, and sought after Henry for his, not only just his brain, like what else he could create, but his machines that he used, right?

So Picatinny Arsenal was a big part of it.

And one of the newer theories that we believe glitter is involved in is something called Radar Chaff.

Has anybody heard of that?

No.

So when you Google it, it doesn’t look sparkly, but it looks shiny.

So Radar Chaff is something shot out of planes that creates a cloud of-

Chemtrails?

It’s not just chemtrails.

It’s a chemical that is put in the, that when a plane takes off and shoots out a powder, this sparkly powder then distracts missiles that are targeting a plane.

Okay.

So the missiles will go to the cloud and not the plane, which is used in the military to diverge missiles when we’re in war.

And then, so Henry W.

Rushman, who is the descendant that’s been willing to chit chat, he said, oh, which by the way, guess what he invented?

Holographic glitter.

He’s the reason why we have holographic glitter.

I don’t know what holographic glitter is.

Like the Pokemon cards.

Yeah, there’s a difference between flexiglitter and then holographic.

Oh, okay.

He said the last project he was involved in before he was booted from the family business was battery creation.

The government is in the process of creating batteries using the Rushman Company precision cutting and or glitter for creation of these batteries that use just an absolute insane amount of energy.

That was one big project.

And then another project that they are a part of, they somehow use products created by the Rushman Company in airplane tires and airplane brakes that absorb heat for when they’re braking.

Okay.

So the tires is a fact, the battery is a fact, the radar chaff is either ongoing or conspiracy that that has glitter in it or not.

And that kind of gets us to current day what we know about glitter and what we don’t know about glitter.

And so Henry W.

Chaff, the descendant, he basically was like, yeah, glitter isn’t everything.

It’s in your paint, it’s in your toothpaste.

If it has a sparkle, it has glitter.

But the number one customer for glitter companies is the government.

Of course, yeah.

And like government research.

Just blowing money on glitter and cheese.

Is it really just glitter that they’re using?

Or is it other chemicals that they’re producing?

Or is it just the machinery they use?

That remains unnamed.

Remains to be seen.

Well, my little Google search here says that in 1998, the Department of Defense sponsored research to see if this was like environmentally harmful and what it was doing to our health.

And they said, no worries, guys.

Of course they did.

Widespread environmental, human and agriculture impacts of chaff are currently used in training are negligible and are far less than those from other handmade emissions.

I have full faith in the government, especially after we’ve started this podcast.

Yeah, full.

It is insane.

But yeah, so glitter is in pretty much everything.

If it has a shine or a shimmer, it has some glitter.

And then what is the government really using?

What are they really using glitter for?

I do truly, to my core, believe they are probably using it for some form of like camouflaging in some way.

And they’re definitely creating new and improved machines and maybe projects that are suspicious, like the Manhattan Project.

You know what I mean?

Like they did it once, doesn’t mean they’re not gonna do it again.

I mean, I think it’s probably like military related.

It’s probably like, how are we gonna paint all of these planes and all of these things that the military uses?

You know what I mean?

Like, let’s see here.

It says GlitterX has 10 to 100 employees and make, I was looking at revenue here.

Oh, the descendant for the Rushman.

He also said since he left, the company hasn’t really been doing well.

So it sounds like the siblings that are left running it, as far as like glitter production haven’t been doing well.

I don’t know as far as like government contract.

It says, I think they make like 50 million in revenue a year, GlitterX.

Oh, it does say here, so I’m on this page and it’s talking about the trademark applications that GlitterX has applied for.

And they do have a poly flake glitter for use in nail polish, makeup, body paints, lipstick, lip gloss, body glitter.

They have Aluflake, which is for use on, it’s decorative glitter cut from aluminum foil.

And that is what is used.

It says for molded plastics, automotive and marine applications, like you’re saying, I think boat paint, wall coverings, floor tiles.

And then Deco Flake is cut from PVC.

And this is costumes, painting, greeting cards, toys and novelties.

And a lot of it was money, passports, stamps, like federal stamps has glitter in it.

I guess I wanna know why it says this is their largest competitors, number one Procter & Gamble, Pfizer.

Pfizer?

Abbott Laboratories, Colgate.

Yeah, Colgate.

Eli Lilly.

I mean, some of, well, like those are like drug companies.

It’s probably in meds.

Eli.

Probably in meds.

Pfizer, Eli Lilly.

Kids, like, I mean, Colgate, right?

We know toothpaste, toothpaste.

And again.

The new.

Yeah.

Everywhere.

Everywhere.

So yeah, the glitter.

I’m a big ingredients reader, guys, if you don’t know.

Is it really conspiracy or do we just for a fact know glitters and everything at this point?

I mean, I think.

I feel like we can say glitters and everything.

It just worries me about these small specks that we can’t even see that are being produced.

And is that why?

Cancer.

We have reactive airways.

In cancer.

Yeah, I didn’t find any specific research studies regarding microplastics, but I also wasn’t looking for that.

I was looking for, I literally just Googled glitter conspiracy.

So we can follow up on microplastics specifically, which glitter is a microplastic?

It does classify under microplastics.

All right, well, that’s depressing.

So, okay, what’s the poll?

Is the government truly the biggest buyer?

Right.

And are they using it for like defense, Department of Defense things?

Or are they being nefarious and doing something else, like building bombs?

Here’s my other question.

I just want to point a clarification.

So there’s GlitterX and there’s another company.

The Rushman Company.

Roberta Rushman.

Oh, that’s the dot.

That’s the sister.

She runs the company.

Oh, Meadowbrook Glitter.

Yeah.

Oh, okay.

They’re super, super secretive.

So the vlog that I watched regarding the glitter conspiracy, they went driving with Henry W.

Rushman, who was the guy who was fired, and he took them on a tour.

It’s a huge, the Rushman family owns a huge plot of land, and that is where their factory is slash where they all live.

And he was just driving around with these two guys that were filming, and within five minutes of being in the property, they were discovered and kicked off.

Oh, wow.

So, and they don’t allow pictures, photography, anything.

That is so weird.

Any recording of anyone.

Do we know what he did to get fired from the family?

No, he doesn’t go into that.

He just says he was fired.

Well, Meadowbrook Glitter, obviously they’re not gonna say we’re building bombs, but they have a complete line of biodegradable glitter for crafts, confetti, makeup and more.

There you go.

Oh, they only make 4 million a year, so GlitterX is definitely winning now.

Yeah.

Meadowbrook Glitter has 50 employees and their peak revenue was 4 million in 2023.

It sounds like they were on the decline.

Decline, but yeah.

Well, that was interesting.

So that was glitter.

That is interesting.

I would like to know where it is going, but I mean, part of me is like, it’s in the food, but on the other part of me is like, yeah, you ruined chips for me.

Like you should care about your digestive tract.

I worry more about what I’ve got brain connection.

I know about the gut brain connection.

I do think I get what you’re saying though.

Like, cause we can control what we eat.

Again, I would say control what we breathe.

Yeah.

Well, you know what?

I have like 73 plants in my house.

So that’s, that’s very, that’s purifying the air.

Yeah, it is.

Yes, the snake plant is so effective in producing oxygen.

This is from Reddit.

So, you know, it’s correct.

Snake plant is so effective.

This is according to NASA.

The snake plant is so effective in producing oxygen that if you were locked in a sealed room with no air flow, you could be able to survive with just six to eight plants.

And you know what?

For every 1800 square foot home, NASA, say this to bourbon boy next time he hassles you when you buy a plant, okay?

NASA recommends 15 to 18 medium to large full sized plants for an 1800 square foot home.

Wow.

You know what?

Forget microplastics.

We’re going to be fine if you have a snake.

Everyone just go buy some more plants, propagate some more plants, and we can overcome the risks of glitter.

I’m going to start really looking at my mucus when I hook it up now.

Look for glitter.

And I really like you deep dive into the TikTok for us.

Watch the whole video.

Do you have any TikToks?

I have another one.

My next TikTok one coming up is who controls the condiment aisle in the grocery stores?

Is it one company?

Because if you Google every single condiment, it’s all under one umbrella company.

So we’re going to take a tour down a grocery store.

All right.

Thanks guys.

Guys have a great week.

We’ll see you next Tuesday.

See you next Tuesday.
