- Hey everyone.
Welcome back to Dude Dad.
I'm Heidi, Taylor's wife, and we are here again
for another Reacts video,
because apparently, he has made a new video about me
with plants.
Let's go and see what he came up with.
- Can I just say it's extremely accurate, too?
- I'll be the judge of that.
- (gasps) Oh my gosh, it's spring!
You know what means?
I need to go get some new plants.
(Heidi laughs) Babe,
there is new life all around us.
- Your pants. - I just want to bring some
of that new life into our home.
Listen, it is your goldfish.
You need to feed him or I'm gonna flush him.
That's it. I'm gonna flush him.
(Heidi laughs) Hey babe,
I'm headed to the nursery to get a few plants.
No, I'm not gonna go overboard.
I'm just gonna get a few plants. Tee hee hee.
Okay, Momma's new babies. (Heidi laughs)
Oh, that's a good one.
Babe, a little help?
- Did you just call them babies?
- 100% you've referred to your plants as babies.
- I don't think I've ever referred to them as babies,
but I do know that some people refer
to their plants as their babies.
I don't, I don't have- - Including you.
- I should have names from my plants, yeah.
Like the one that's up there.
It's like five years old.
My love pothos? Okay, anyways.
- That's nice. Mm hmm.
That's nice. That is nice. (Heidi laughs)
Oh yeah, this really changes the ambience.
- Also your outfit.
- You like those Bibs?
- Probably look a little better in them than I do.
- Needs more. Oh my gosh, I'm such a plant mom.
I may need to make another trip.
Babe, look at these ones.
Yeah, they're dieffenbachia.
I got two of 'em, so they each have a friend.
Also in case one dies.
Okay, this one's an in. (Heidi laughs)
- I have done that. - You do that, right?
- Usually one dies pretty quickly.
And then I figure out how to take care
of the other one. - Annual,
so that means it's gonna come back every year, annually.
Sort of like my sex drive.
What do you think, Charlie?
Do you like my plants? - Taylor!
- Oh, he does.
- Oh. (laughs) - Oh, yeah, see,
this is a flowering pericallis.
- I like Charlie's cameo.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I just love bees
Ah! Freaking bees! (Heidi laughs)
- I do that. - Taylor, I got stung!
Ouch! - Listen. (laughs)
- You get so nervous around bees.
- It's because I don't know what they are yet.
If they are wasps or hornets or a bee.
If they're a bee, I leave 'em bee.
Okay, (laughs)
this is you running around. - Ah, they're everywhere!
- Hold on, that happened to me!
I was sitting outside.
We had a bunch of people that were up on the roof working
and one of those bees stung me
and it was stuck in my shirt and I could hear it
and I couldn't get it, so I literally took my shirt off.
(Heidi laughs) - Flowers are pretty and all,
but I want to be an urban farmer.
It's gonna be my summer project.
Babe, can you build me a raised garden bed?
Babe, can you put drip irrigation into my raised bed?
Babe? Babe? Babe?
Can you carry all this soil to my raised bed?
On second thought, could you build me a greenhouse?
To hell with those bees.
(Heidi laughs) Ugh, I'm going in the house.
We are not gonna need to buy any more fruits and vegetables.
I'm gonna grow all of it.
Fully organic, no GMOs, super healthy.
(slurping) Mm. (Heidi laughs)
- I do wanna have a food garden
so we can be more sustainable
- For sure. Who's gonna do all the work?
- Well, I'm gonna try,
but I probably will need help.
- No, babe, I'm not trimming the plants. I'm propagating.
You cut a little piece off, you put it in the water,
and boom, you got a baby plant.
Can you imagine if it was that easy for us to have babies?
Oh no. Sorry.
- I mean I'm propagating right there.
Look, look at that.
We got roots. - No, wait.
Oh wait. I thought you were talking about Otto.
- Oh . - Guys, guys, guys,
come here, come here, come here.
It's our first harvest.
This is bullshit.
(Heidi laughs) Oh no. Oh no.
Oh no! My plants are dying!
Terry!
I bet you need sun. - (laughing) Terry.
- Oh no, Sonya! I bet you need more water.
Oh shoot, maybe it needs less sun.
Oh no, maybe too much water.
Honestly, I went on vacation,
and I just totally forgot about this one.
This one's on me. (Heidi laughs)
How many plants have you killed since we've been together?
- I don't know. - You're a plant murderer.
- I want you to take a look around this room
and look how many plants are alive in here?
That one's been here years.
I've had that one since LA. - Okay.
- It came with us. - Because you found
the plants that are really easy.
You got four that are just the same plant.
- Dad! - I don't know what
to tell you. - Theo, who's side are you on?
- He's on my side. - Who's side are you on buddy?
- Mommy's. Yep, that's right.
- No! My garden!
Hail? That's a thing?
- What? - Babe,
I'd like to introduce you to Susan.
She's a snake plant - Susan.
- And she's impossible to kill.
Babe! Susan's dead!
I killed a snake plant! (Heidi laughs)
Snake plants aren't supposed to die!
Susan! Susan!
- Okay. - I gave up on plants.
I just got one plant now, her name is Francesca,
and she has the same personality as me.
She's low maintenance. She's beautiful.
But don't touch her. She has a headache.
Oh, it just goes to show you how fragile life is.
I'm not gonna cry. I'm gonna garden. (sobs)
(Heidi laughs)
- I love that you're very happy about
the joke you make in here, though.
She looks really happy.
She's like, "Look, I just made a joke."
(Taylor laughs) - True.
All right. How accurate was it?
- Couple of things.
First, yes, I probably do overestimate my ability
and my time to care for a ton of plants.
But honestly, I'm learning.
Just because I may have killed some plants doesn't mean
that I can't learn or that I shouldn't try something new
or that I shouldn't learn.
So. - I agree with that.
- I do want to be known as someone with a green thumb
because I really do appreciate life
and I like to see life flourish and grow.
So I'm gonna give you a grade B.
- That's passing.
- That is passing. - Why a B?
- Why a B? - Yeah. Why not an A?
- I have not killed that many plants, okay.
I've killed two peace lilies,
a yucca plant, and a couple of succulents.
- Okay. Here's the thing, babe.
Remember all the ones out front?
There's a bunch of 'em you just threw away.
Last summer, it was like- - Oh, well the ones out front,
I don't count those.
So in the comments below,
leave your best piece of advice for plant newbies.
Like me. - This will be good.
- Okay but if this video does well,
I get to go to the nursery and get more plants
- Deal.
(upbeat music) - Dad Dude, Dad Dude,
Dad Dude.
(laughing) - You should make your own
public service announcement.
- If you see a bee, leave it be.
(Taylor laughs)
- Okay. All right.
- Something like that. - Moving on. Moving on.
