Welcome to Too Many Tabs, a podcast where a husband and wife duo sit next to each other at a table.

And we have a delightful time every single week.

And I hope you're having a delightful time out there as well.

I hope you're one with Christ and you're ready to have a good time going down a rabbit hole that's been dug in this garden by Mrs. Pearlmania.

How are you today, Mrs. Pe?

This energy is deeply concerning. It's the right energy for the time. It makes me feel odd. It shouldn't. And I'm nervous now. No, you shouldn't be. And to all the listeners out there, I want you to reach out towards your cell phone as you watch us in the break room or at your cubicle. Reach out to your cell phone and say to yourself right now, I am good, I am pure, and I am worth it, okay? It's a hard thing to remember sometimes. And maybe you're listening to us on an air pod. Maybe you're folding laundry. Maybe you're just walking down the street a little bit. You're just trying to listen. You go, who is this man talking? It's me. It's Mr. Pearlmania. Usually I yell at you at you usually i do but i'm not going to right now

because the world's yelling at you that's why this week we're going to dig in the dirt we're going to get our nails dirty we're going to think we're going to talk and think about photosynthesis and the history of gardens because that's what mrs p's been looking at because she's been looking out of the world And she said, that's a lot of oil in the sky.

Why don't we put that oil back down in the dirt?

Right, Mrs. P.'s been looking at. Because she's been looking out of the world and she said, that's a lot of oil in the sky. Why don't we put that oil back down in the dirt? Right, Mrs. P?

That's sort of kind of how it started. Okay, well, tell us. And of course, took a different turn. How did it take a different turn? Okay, so here's the thing. I did want to do an episode of gardening. I know you did. Because we got to get outside in the sunshine. We got to have hope for the future.

We want to grow vegetables. Speaking of sunshine, can I tell you something? Breaking news. My season

to I know you did. Because we got to get outside in the sunshine. We got to have hope for the future. We want to grow vegetables. Speaking of sunshine, can I tell you something? Breaking news, my seasonal depression broke. That's true. I went outside, sun hit my face, I touched grass. Are you going to talk with the accent the whole time? Maybe. It feels right today, doesn't know this sunshine really got you. You know, sometimes you just need people need to know that you're a zest of sun there underneath it all. Sometimes people need to know that you're nothing but a house plant and you need sunshine and water. And yesterday you remember to drink water and go out in the sun. And here I am. And now you're a different person. You know, I just think it's time. All right. So tell us all about what you were learning about.

Okay, so I wanted to do an episode about gardening, like the history of gardening.

But what actually ended up happening is that I realized that gardens are really political.

Oh, really?

Yes. And gardenings can even cause or end or support wars.

Wait, gardens?

Yes, gardens. Gardens are political. Yes. You're talking about little garden with little roses, maybe a little pumpkin over here, maybe little vegetables. Yes. Your little dainty gardens are political and can cause wars. Yes. Let me tell you about tulips. What do you know about tulips? Tulips. Yes, Tulips.

What do you know about them?

I know that they're, we had a dog named Tulip. That's true. Did you know that tulips caused an emperor to get overthrown? An emperor? Yeah. Well, technically a sultan. A sultan? Yeah. Can I tell you about this? Yeah, I mean, sure. Okay, so you're going to tell me about how a sultan got overthrown?
