Meet the YouTube Botanist with a Thick Chicago Accent and Foul Mouth

Call it botany served Chicago style.

Joey Santore — who also goes by "Joe Blowe" and "Tony Santoro" online — isn’t your typical plant expert: the amateur botanist travels across North America identifying and discussing the wildlife he encounters on his YouTube channel Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t.

Originally from the Chicago suburb of La Grange, Santore films his nature excursions with his smartphone, rattling off scientific names with a thick Chicago accent and making comical, sometimes profanity-laden, societal observations.

Santore promised to keep the curse words to a minimum while we walked through Wolf Road Prairie, an 80-acre nature preserve with native prairie, savanna and wetland habitats in Chicago’s western suburbs.
