Studio See; Bubble Gum (CC)

Studio City Number two twenty one bubble go. A. In the 1960s I ran a bubble gum factory in California. Oh always thought that if I could make 700 pounds of gum then a kid maybe even the parent could make one found in their kids. If you could buy a kit to make your own bomb what flavoring would you use.

If I could make any fly robot will go in the hole where I think I'd like Dr Pepper because Dr. Bird and I think a lot more people do so I think I'd enjoy it. BOBBY. Pope in that. Hot. Taco. Truck but you could be part of Apple. I would make watermelon. Well I think I'd like butterscotch. I think I'm a grass Berry and I'd say right near. The S. S. S. S. O s.

Lou. Lou. Lou Lou now that. That was a it was a if. There was a it was a it. It's the latter. Well it's not like it's going from a doctor for one

thing she wrote in prescription. Here's a lady from Pompano Beach Florida show us now if it takes any time taking make again for my kids and I have a letter here from a fellow in Connecticut. He always thought it took a million dollars and 500 people to make bubble down. And he's glad to find a dead is not true. My name is Fred Starkey and this is my family. Bruce little Mary and Mary my wife in the 1960s. I ran a bubblegum factory in California. Always thought that if I could make 700 pounds of gone. Then a kid and maybe even the parents could make one pound in their kitchen. Homemade goom was great. The steps are very simple. You take one cup of confectioner's sugar and we're into a four line and that may be used in the oven.

Then take the. Precedent of the sugar and make a mess moving the cup around slightly to enlarge and they asked larger than the bottom of the cup. Chewing gum based materials are gathered from various trees around the world. Chicken. Being of course the preferred base material. It is gathered by Claire olds who go off into the Far East with their ropes over their shoulders their machete in southern Mexico. And Yucatan. In the pan where we have the mess we would then. Put in the POW. Then pour the corn syrup over the power and into the nest. One third cup corn syrup like. Corn syrup. In the oven should be preheated to 300 degrees. Your lights off 300 degrees pre-dated so. That's looking good. Yeah we played about the only thing that you can do with with a make it yourself bubble

gum is not cook it long enough with it new and brews. This would remain in the oven bake it 300 degrees for 25 minutes. Then of course you would take the second cup of confectioner's sugar poured into a bowl mix and a package of flavor Preferably a small package of Kool-Aid. With power you have to remember that you can flavor it any way one would like. Yes at the end of the 25 minutes we would take the ingredients out of the oven. In mixing touring I do want to make the point that in stirring and mixing. The motion with the spoon is up and down as opposed to around and around. We then begin to add the second cup of ingredient one tablespoon at a time. Only.

The gum is then ready to chew. However. This is a time to begin to play with your gun. And through playing make it much better go. Stretch it slowly if needed. Keeping in mind that the more you play with it you do with it for the better it is for sure. Be. Very. Very. Rather.

I was a homemade gun. Grit is good. Would you like. The taste. To blow bubbles. It's mainly the flavor gets. Most of. The bowl bubbles with short hair and it had a nice flavor to it wasn't prescribed was too. It's just not right. But. That's too. Much a word yet to be on the youngest professional pool player in the women's field. When I got started in the pool I was four years old and my eyes can barely reach over the table I used to spear the balls in when I was 5 and 6 so used to drag a chair around. When I was 9 years old I dystopic for a while and then I came back about 10 and

a half years old. And now I'm really there to. Go. That's my point. I'm up for unit 6 1. 6 1. Our family does play together we play straight pool and we play in rotation. I. Don't play serious but we all have fun. It's nice. You know you.

Have won trophies. I have been in newspapers and magazines and I really enjoyed because we are sharing in something we can all do and we can all we can all enjoy. I like to do lots of things besides pool. I like to fish and ski warders ski snow ski. I like softball I like I like so MT just interested in so many things. That. I you know I do I have I always have time for my pool but I like a lot of other.

Time not. TIME Where you. Think you have a good time. Yeah it was nice. Do you want any help. I don't think so Robby threw a little while anyway. But thanks anyway. OK. Was that he didn't have work yet but I want to know why. Because I want him to show me the shots. Although. I don't know when I'll be through here in a little while if you like play me a game OK. Oh I know. OK. Now the world's tournament is coming up. I mean practicing three hours a day too because I need the practice and I have you know I have to really start running with more balls and things like that. I was in the worlds tournament last year with 16 women and I came

in 10th place and this year I'm playing much better and it's Invitational the tournament this year and there's only eight women and I'm one of the invited women. And I think I'll come in. A good maybe fourth heard maybe even first the way I'm planning. You were rude. Yeah. Great. What a lousy gratia You mean much of anything. I enjoy playing with my mother because I can play for fun and when she gets in trouble I always help our cell. It's like she have she can

help me just by shooting with me and I can help her if she's ever in trouble some makes me feel good. You. Know. Who I had it when playing with Lori Jon is a little different now than it used to be. Going back. A number of years ago. I didn't leave you very much. I used her when we first began but unfortunately or shall I say fortunately she's always been mean. Listen when you. Would like to go down with you tonight. She was a practice. OK Fong. OK. Five minutes so you better get ready OK.

Oh great. No business loans to get some days like that. You want a new trick shock treatment. I'll be there in just a minute. OK thank you for this trick. Take any balls before them at the fore end of the quarter amp of the rock band of them and also up to my stick I was them both the cue stick which is one of the best kids sticks made and the first game I sand I sand the shaft. To make it smooth and I read the top with the tip to make it hard and so were mushrooms and after every shot I took my

head up. So to write with. Yeah that's fine. Come on down here. OK Ricky. Now I'm going to make due to bore. The to go into the corner pocket jump over the over the rack and the corner pocket. And what you do. Is you hit the 14th straight on right there. Beautiful World. Thanks and I try to. Yes sure. Learning from Laurie who is younger than me. It doesn't bother me at all at you when you're working with her you don't think of the age difference. So you think of is how good she is and how good she is the teacher she is and you're learning

and that's the main thing about it don't drop that. She got the right idea though. Next time just to say I'm going to go to another table thank you very much. Are you going to buy anything. It's a Medicaid issue. Not enough problems or that you do in a let's practice a little bit. You know Rock of Love You know do a little homework. Our father taught me everything I learned. Since And from the beginning I was playing until now and people have helped me along the way. Alan Hopkins they have helped me but my father has taught me everything I've learned. My father Reverend was 76. And the high

style I've ever run is 23 balls. For one of 14 I will be the world's champion. And if I'm not I'm going to keep on practicing until I am. I think it could get bigger. I mean next year you're big. Chile's pawn might look like any other peaceful spot but there's really something special about it. First of all it's surrounded by beautiful white Cedars not a common tree here in the southeast but better still it's the home for a lot of carnivorous plants plants that have turned the tables on nature instead of being eaten by animals. They eat animals themselves. We explore this mysterious environment with our naturalist friend really manky who'd rather be tromping around in a

bar than anywhere right here when you'll notice as we go into this bog area that it lives up to its name we're going to be walking through some water getting a little muddy here and there. There will be a lot of small shrubs as you'll see along the way along with these white Cedars but I think it's worth worth the trouble of pushing our way through the brush and getting a little bit wet to see these plants because this is one of the few places in the state we could come and see all of this variety in a small space. Let me show you what makes this area tick so to speak and what makes it so unique. Interesting. You mention that this was a white cedar bar Wagners are called dogs because they are loaded with lots of spring fed streams like this one running right below our feet here and they support plants like this Spagna mouse which is so thick here that if you stand on it you can almost bounce up in them. Usually that mounts the feeling fagged the mouth is a typical bog plant and also in

here you can see these little white topped flowers that are really collections of flowers. Many people call those ladies happy and. Hyper it is another name for them. But the most interesting plants here again were looking for carnivorous plants are the pitcher plants which you can see one variety right over there. Sweet picture plant. And the Sunday and I think maybe right here it might be good to go ahead you can see those Sundays are actually in flower now which is extra special. This is one of the most interesting of the carnivorous plants here it's called a Sunday. It's not very large in size and so it doesn't feed on anything the size of a mouse or something it's mainly there for small insects. There's a little spider that's doing some crawling down in between it might get stuck. This one is again a very small one but a beautiful example of a carnivorous plant here in South Carolina. We've got four five varieties of these Sundays in the state and as you see this one has a little stock coming up from it with an open flowers.

This is one of our flowering plants. It doesn't look like most of them. And I think right across the way here. We do it beautifully. Little white flower all for the Sunday. This one is already opened when we get a little further and now we begin to think one of the most interesting pitcher plants I don't think it's very hard to realize why the name pitcher plant is used. This is these are the largest pitcher plants that we've got in the state of South Carolina. The trumpet pitcher plants another good common name for the yellow pitcher plants. These picture plants now unlike the Sundays that we saw a moment ago don't really gray out the animal. They simply have a nice pitcher with some attractive smelling material. The animal moves in toward the attracting smell and their little hair like structures that point only the insect can't crawl back up so eventually he falls down the bottom there's some water down in the bottom of this tube and suggested juices are dumped in there.

All right let's move is a very good example of a modified leaf for the pitcher plant. We hold it like this I mean you can see that it comes over the top and there's a tremendous space and if we open up this and take a look down into that leaf you'll see that it is like a trumpet it's hollow all the way down to the bottom. And this is a single leaf. Of course it collects moisture down there. The plan as a jest of juices when the insect hits that water he drowns and gets dissolved. The trumpet pitcher plant one other thing about this club here is the little white cedar coming up again. You can also see leftovers of the flower flower on this plant is really a rather floppy flower the petals have already fallen off and this is really the developing fruit of this plant. But you see it even stands above the height of the pitchers. Again a flowering plant as well as a carnivorous plant all rolled into one playing a lot of these leases you have seen already been knocked down a deer

feed on these plant leaves some time people may have come through and knocked them down. It's really of course best not to take these plants out of here they're getting more rare in South Carolina as elsewhere so instead of walking through the clump. Let's just back up and go around the bend I think that'll be a little smarter there something else I want to show you further on anyway another variety of different plants. Right around here because. You can leave that point alone. When we come to another open area. Thank you. Be careful here I think you've pretty well seen. Most of these carnivorous plants like open areas with a nice stream running through. Oh yes and here are a couple of varieties that we need to take a close look at. One is the teacher plant right over there let's just see if we can work our way over to get a closer view. OK now we saw the trumpet pitcher plant a while back. This is a very close relative a Guinness obviously another pitcher plant called a sweet pitcher point it's not nearly so tall.

It's got a lot more reddish color on it I think you can see. And since we've got a trumpet pitcher plant leaf has been broken off nearby. When you put the two together of course there's one difference but also the shape of the top of that pitcher varies a good deal. We've got four varieties of pitcher plants in our state. Three of the four are represented right here in this white cedar bark. And again this plant that tracks insect scene they are trapped down this tube. They can't crawl back up because of stiff hairs pointing down. They end up in water at the bottom with the Jesters juices in. Here's another variety. Sunday you asked me about the size this is pretty loose right now and we'll put it right back down. Now look if they say that is really some size and they could catch a larger insect than the others this one has a stem that really stands up a little bit in the leaves come off up in the air a little more than right at the base of the plant. But again look at the little globs of sticky stuff if you put your finger against

that player. It sticks it takes to you manage it I just pulled out to produce a little more. So this isn't just deal drugs now this is sticky material that the plant uses to trap small animals and that's the way it gets extra nitrogen in the diet and that one which might be helping show you my favorite plant or just a personal opinion but it's one that's very very exciting and always has been and is quite different from the trumpet in the sweet pitcher plants that we've seen. And here is a magnificent clump of it. This is the one that's my favorite Take a look at it it looks like really it's exploding out of this. And as you can see there's a little insect it's trap will take a closer look at that maybe in a minute but now take a look at this thing. See those. Here's feel live with your hand. Feel that they're pointing down in toward the water so once an insect Crouse is

easy to get here. It's hard as the dickens to get out and of course he falls into this watery material with just a fluid added and becomes a part of the meal of this lovely. But very effective carnivorous plant and as you see it's very very common here the fruiting stock comes up about this high on this thing just like the fruiting stock on the pitcher plant that we saw further away. This is no often is the purple pitcher plant or the veined pitcher plant because of these purplish veins. Let's take a close look at this plant picking up a little bit to see the the flower of the cricket that's been trapped in it. But you can see the haters there also pointing down in toward toward the center of the plant. Most of that liquid in there is rain water plant juice and jested fluids to the rainwater and that does the trick of digesting the animal material that comes in a perfect trap that probably came along here.

Joaquin is very easy in trying to come out against those deer Piers impossible drams and gets dissolved. It's a mysterious place bombs are always mysterious places and they come back again and. Maybe you know a place like chillies pond in your area. The next time you're out exploring. Why not try to find some controversy plant yourself if you do let Studio City know about your discoveries. Student C wants puns and ideas from everybody that watches the show. If you have any. Just put him in on the web and send them to. Studio C S V. Columbia South Carolina. To father. And remember get him there and anyway. A.
