Blessed be the pod!! 🌿

Hi Brandon and Nicole!!!

LISTEN - I have binged this entire podcast… I think I have played Attack of the Thrips all the way through at least ten times. When I start an episode, I feel like I’m amongst plant friends and I laugh along with y’all through every “bing bong!”. Thank you for being beautiful, relatable humans inside and out!! Shoutout to producer Cece for keeping you in line. LOL.

I love how real you both are about your mental health journeys and it makes me feel so seen. Not only do these episodes fly - I learn so much from you two! I actually found my first thrippies after I started listening… but it’s fine, I’m fine.

I really hope you get to tour someday and will visit some other midwest cities *cough cough Omaha please* 5 stars now and forever!

If you’re looking for a podcast with extreme realness, hilarity, and a heck ton of plant knowledge - you found it!

Keep being amazing, love ya. Bye gay! Xoxo 🧡

Besties that I’ve never met!

First off I would like to say that this is the one and only podcast that I listen to. Like at all. Brandon and Nicole’s banter and detours of conversation can actually keep my attention for an entire episode instead of me spacing out. I first found out about this podcast via Nicole on TikTok. She was also my first planty person that I followed, then Brandon.

I’m a beginner plant parent so while this podcast is extremely funny where I actually find myself LOL-ing, it is also SUPER informative. I listen to the podcast while doing planty chores, cleaning my house (geez why did I think becoming an adult would be so great 😒), and driving from here to there. I started listening a few months ago but have already made my way through all the past episodes as well.

Side note: I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST PING!

I have voted every single day for y’all to get to go on tour and I hope you win! I’m in Texas so it would be awesome if you came anywhere here. I’d even drive the 6 hours to Dallas lol.

If you are looking for a fun and informative planty podcast this is the one for you. So buckle up & listen up because it is a RIDE!

HI GAY!

I just love you two so, so, much. I first saw Nicole on TickyTok during the panorama and I instantly was like, this is my type of person to a T.

I listen to WAWG when I am doing all my plant chores and it fulfills my ADHD love language of body doubling. Y’all are just so brilliant and I feel like if we met IRL, we’d be instant besties. While I can’t keep a heart leaf philodendron lush to save my life, I have gotten away from just pothos…. I secretly wonder if Nicole ever sees my collection if she would side eye and say, “there are so many more interesting plants.” I just can’t stand the thought of that, so I branch out (pun intended), and I think she has given me the confidence to do so. Plus, you both are so great about normalizing the not so great part of plant parenthood, and you remind me that there’s no failures, it’s all a learning experience.

If you’re neurospicy, LGBTQIA+, from the Midwest (ha) and/or a plant lover, this pod is for you.
