262: Plants Are Screaming and No One’s Listening

Plants are screaming… and apparently bats are listening.In this five-year anniversary episode of the Funny Business Podcast, Mike and Matt uncover a bizarre but real study: stressed plants emit ultrasonic clicks when they’re thirsty, injured, or just having a rough day. We’re talking tomato cries, cactus complaints, and the very real possibility that your lawn hates you.Also on deck: Matt’s Community Take It returns with top-tier listener prompts. Topics include traumatic fish tales (RIP Hambone), SpongeBob characters in the WWE (spoiler: not Mr. Krabs), the rising cost of golf, and a hot take on the Ice Bucket Challenge somehow making a comeback.The episode is part celebration, part science experiment, and entirely the chaos you’ve come to expect after 262 episodes.00:00 Intro01:41 Five Years Of Funny Business06:02 Plants Can Scream?17:16 Community Take It!37:32 Outro and AdviceMERCH: https://funnybusinesspod-shop.fourthwall.com/FOLLOW USBeacons: https://beacons.ai/funnybusinesspodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/funnybusinesspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/funnybusinesspod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/funnybusinesspodTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/funnybusinesspodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwA7LU4-jps613RuewhWWDg/featuredNote: The opinions expressed in this show are the hosts' views and not necessarily those of any business or organization.
