| 1/26/26 | UPDATE: The Murder of Frank the Liberty Tree | This is an update where I react to finding out the monsters in involved with Frank's murder are selling him piece by piece. I had the pleasure of meeting Frank the Liberty Tree in northeast KC on January 10th, 2025. Frank was a 282-340-year-old bur oak tree that was removed after I volunteered my time and used the most high-tech tree assessment tools available to determine that Frank was structurally stable and had a robust root system. My recommendation to keep Frank went against the recom... | 16m 51s | ||||||

Frank was a 282-340-year-old bur oak tree that was removed after I volunteered my time and used the most high-tech tree assessment tools available to determine that Frank was structurally stable and had a robust root system. My recommendation to keep Frank went against the recommendations of MDC who did zero actual assessment of Frank or any work to confirm the wood decay fungus they said was affecting... | 1h 30m 51s | ||||||

| 12/20/25 | Nich Johnson: The creator of Tree Scum | I have to admit; I pirated the phrase Tree Scum off my buddy Nich who owns Salish Tree Care and Consulting in Washington State. In this episode we talk about how he came up with the concept and who this phase applied to. Generally, I apply the term to everyone who does tree work that is a little rough around the edges. I take it as a term that really sums up most of the people who do work in our industry, we are outcasts in society who found a generally laid-back industry in which to do high ... | 59m 26s | ||||||
