Welcome to hey Real Quick . I hope you're taking your Claritin or your Benadryl .
Speaker 2Or Zyrtec , or all of them , oh my .
Speaker 1Because I got some allergies .
Speaker 2Yeah Well , we were talking last week and you were like man , my right eye has just been itching , it's my left eye .
Speaker 1Yeah , it's my right on the inside corner . Yeah , next to my nose .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1And if I mess up and kind of scratch it , Rub it .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , it's like a dog . Yeah .
Speaker 1When a dog starts scratching , like you're , just like , no , I'm .
Speaker 2Never stopping .
Speaker 1I'm getting it after it , yeah .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , it's bad . Yeah , I did that in the middle of the night .
Speaker 1I woke myself up and I take a Zyrtec every day .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah . And then my left side of my nose , tmi , starts like getting stuffy and I can't breathe . So I got up , took a Benadryl , which is not great for you , I've heard . By the way , it's not great .
Speaker 1What .
Speaker 2Benadryl Mm-hmm . Why ?
Speaker 1is it not good I ?
Speaker 2don't know . They say it has links to dementia , which is not . That's not good news . No , Well , as long as I can't remember I'm itching , but it does make you tired and dry stuff up and you can go to sleep .
Speaker 1So make a safe one , whoever but .
Speaker 2I'm telling you , man , and the hot pink dye probably didn't help either , but I was like , my eye was like please take one .
Speaker 1Yeah , I can't If I take a Benadryl and then midday .
Speaker 2I have to power through , yeah .
Speaker 1It would knocks me out .
Speaker 2Yeah , it knocks you out , I think more than me . It just makes me less happy , joyful , Like I'm kind of like flat .
Speaker 1Yeah , it knocks me out Like it . Maybe that's why I'm not itching , because I'm unconscious .
Speaker 2But I don't .
Speaker 1Yeah , I have to .
Speaker 2Ooh , yeah .
Speaker 1I don't take naps , but if I take a Benadryl .
Speaker 2Yeah , you might take a nap on your way to the car line . But yeah , you might take a nap on your way to the car line . But yeah , it's so it's beginning of March and I have seasonal allergies . Let's get into it . I've been in Nashville since 96 , and they call Nashville or Middle Tennessee , like . It's kind of like a bowl . You know it's like a , it sits in a bowl , so all the pollen blows over and just settles .
Speaker 2I believe it , and so probably around like 2008, . After I've been here for whatever that was 12 years I was like I think I'm going to get allergy shots . I did them for four years , three and a half or four .
Speaker 1You don't do them now .
Speaker 2No , you're technically . They used to say you had to do them forever , but there's kind of a window of like three to five years where you build up immunity , so like you figure out how much what you're allergic to . And they were like you are allergic to all the grasses , yeah , and all the trees , and I'm like that's a problem yeah and cats .
Speaker 2Um , so yeah , but it does like I can actually take a zyrtec and go outside now and work in the yard , like before it was just like I can't breathe , my eyes are tearing up and like it was bad I feel like it did help .
Speaker 1I take zyrtec in the morning or at night , or whatever I don't think it does anything . I think you have to take zyrtec for like every day , for like a week .
Speaker 2I take it all year long .
Speaker 1Really Maybe . That's why it doesn't work for me .
Speaker 2I don't think it's very anecdotal Is that the word ?
Speaker 1Oh yeah , Like if stuff flares up . Zyrtec does nothing , I got to do Benadryl .
Speaker 2Yeah , you need a heavy hitter Now . Do you do the Flonase stuff ?
Speaker 1No , Robin does Flonase .
Speaker 2Astaline , that other one .
Speaker 1I don't like it . Maybe it would help . I'll tell you what does not work . What's that For the itchy eye ?
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1It's the little eye drops Pat a day yeah $5 a day . Yeah , yeah , $5 a drop those things . First of all , they're expensive .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1So Carter had all his math homework and they do it on their Chromebook . So you're looking at a computer screen .
Speaker 2Sure .
Speaker 1So my eye was itching like crazy and he wanted to go ahead and do his homework . So I was like all right , hold on , Put a drop in there . I can't see Like it makes my eyes blurry for like 30 minutes .
Speaker 2Oh , wow , that long .
Speaker 1Yeah , they still itch , but then I'm upstairs like maybe 10 minutes .
Speaker 2Wow .
Speaker 1But I'm just like blinking over and over again . I have to get close to the screen .
Speaker 2So it doesn't help .
Speaker 1Not really .
Speaker 2I don't think it helps either . I tried them when you told me about them a couple of years ago .
Speaker 1It worked for , I think , our boys when theirs would get real bad . But we got . I got home , we got home from school and it was crazy windy .
Speaker 2Yes , like the other day , yesterday , yeah .
Speaker 1So we're in the backyard with the dogs for the football a little bit , maybe like 20 minutes .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1I came inside and like 10 minutes later , my eye was just like yeah , like Came inside and like 10 minutes later my eye was just like an alarm clock going off .
Speaker 2Yeah , and then you're sneezing . I was sneezing in the middle of the night , I couldn't stop . It's not a cold , because you got the watery eyes . You have the sneezing itchy eyes and I don't feel bad you know , but it's the only thing I'm like please get warm . Please come on spring . We're about to hit daylight savings time next Sunday , I'm fine .
Speaker 1Once it gets hot , it's just when you get that first little crack of spring . You get those days that are like 75 degrees , yeah , and those little weeds start sprouting up .
Speaker 2Oh yeah , and the pollining , and there's a few rounds of that , you know .
Speaker 1That sounds like a scary movie . It is a scary movie . Have you seen the pollining ? Have you ?
Speaker 2been on my back porch in april . It is scary and you can wipe it all down and wipe everything off and then come out the next day and you're just like look at this yellow like you're like okay , I don't know . It's the world we live in outside doesn't have an air filter , so I don't know what to do about it . But don't go outside . Don't go outside . Doggone it Anywho .
Speaker 1I mean , the dogs have gone outside .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , they better go outside , don't go in the house .
Speaker 1I'm surprised our dogs don't have allergies . You know how dogs sneeze sometimes .
Speaker 2Yeah , and they get that like hard sneeze my dog did and she would like keep going and she had skin allergies .
Speaker 1Yeah .
Speaker 2They'd be like just wipe her feet off . Every time I'm like Wipe them Okay . Yeah , we've done that . Yeah , we've done that . I got the little wipes , wipes .
Speaker 1Yeah , wipe their feet off when they come inside . Okay , I don't know how many times your dog goes outside , but it's not once a day .
Speaker 2No , could be 17 . Could be three , I don't know .
Speaker 1But that's a lot of wiping .
Speaker 2It's a lot of wiping and they don't really Sorry . We have yeah , yeah , standard .
Speaker 1They don't really do it . It's time to think Dog's paws are like little sandpaper toes .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1And then you get a Clorox wipe . First of all , it destroys the wipe .
Speaker 2Yeah , but are you using a Clorox wipe ? That's horrible . No , it's like a little A baby wipe . Yeah , like a dog wipe .
Speaker 1It's basically a baby wipe , which is even dinkier .
Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1But it's like a little dinky . That's like here take this Clorox wipe and go clean off that cinder block .
Speaker 2Oh yeah , it gets kind of disintegrate . They have a thing now that you can stick their dog .
Speaker 1We got that . Oh , you fill it with water .
Speaker 2Oh , okay , it's got little bristles and you dunk their paws . You're ahead of me , okay , does it ?
Speaker 1work . I mean it gets mud off and stuff like that At this point you're right . But then their paws are soaking wet . Well , if their paws are too wet , they can breathe yeast .
Speaker 2Oh , oh Bye . We had to take , we'll take the dirt .
Speaker 1Raid the vet to get the cytopoint injection .
Speaker 2Oh , wow .
Speaker 1The little allergy shot . It takes about three or four days to kick in .
Speaker 2Does it help itchy eyes ? Can I get it ? No , go ahead , sorry , I probably should have got it .
Speaker 1I probably should have asked how much it calls for she got it . But I was like I don't care , just do it . Yeah , you know , but it works .
Speaker 2Okay .
Speaker 1Like she ain't licking her paws . She ain . But I'm like when it wears off , we're going to push it and see how far we can go again .
Speaker 2How long is ?
Speaker 1it supposed to last ? Oh , you know how that goes . I said doesn't it last like three months ? They're like . Well , it depends on the dog . It's usually eight to 12 weeks , some dogs less , some dogs more . I'm like .
Speaker 2I ain't doing this every five weeks or seven . Oh my goodness .
Speaker 1It's going to last three months . I'll go ahead and tell you right now that's how long it's lasting .
Speaker 2Oh me , but yeah , allergies , but everybody wants to get outside . You know , I mean it was nice two days ago , but now it's like 50 again .
Speaker 1I guess Nashville's not the only place like this , but it is 80 .
Speaker 2It's wishy-washy , yeah .
Speaker 1And then I about got frostbite the other night at a flag football game the whole family was freezing . Yeah , people had on . It was weird because it said like it was 50 degrees but it was real windy .
Speaker 2Yeah , and you know , sometimes up here it's like 10 degrees or zero . Oh , yeah , yeah .
Speaker 1But I guess it was because it was like 70 or 80 a day or two before you got to custom , to it yes , mm-hmm . Everybody at that game . There were teenagers .
Speaker 2Mm-hmm .
Speaker 1Like one of the coaches on Braxton's team , like he's a little assistant coach or whatever . He's you know , probably like 17 . Mm-hmm , During the game he took one of those big like outdoor blankets .
Speaker 2Mm-hmm .
Speaker 1And he was wrapped up in the blanket during the game .
Speaker 2Oh yeah .
Speaker 1When a teenager has a giant blanket on in public .
Speaker 2Yeah , you know it's cold , it's cold yeah .
Speaker 1My feet were numb .
Speaker 2Ooh , uh-uh yeah .
Speaker 1And then I was like man , my feet are frozen , yeah my feet are frozen . Yeah , and Carter . I think Carter was like why do your feet get cold ? I was like because I'm old .
Speaker 2Yeah , we ain't got any circulation man .
Speaker 1Yeah , I should be at home right now , but now I'm here .
Speaker 2Right Should be in my jammies .
Speaker 1Yeah , on the couch , be in a lazy boy .
Speaker 2Yeah . With a blanket , maybe a heated blanket . There you go .
Speaker 1Anyway .
Speaker 2It'll probably snow again .
Speaker 1Oh yeah , we're going to get enough snow .
Speaker 2Before the end of April . Yeah , that's when people like they're totally up for it .
Speaker 1It's going to snow two days before Easter . That's what's going to happen . Which one is Easter now ? June ?
Speaker 2April 20th . Yeah , it feels like yeah . School's out before Easter almost the Easter Bunny's going to be in a bikini , Because it's going to be yeah .
Speaker 1I brought you some flip-flops and some sunscreen .
Speaker 2And a beach umbrella . But yeah , it's late this year , but man .
Speaker 1Why is it late ? When do they ? Why is it so late ? I don't know how that works .
Speaker 2How does easter work ?
Speaker 1well , it goes , is it all I mean ?
Speaker 2I know like why is good friday so late ?
Speaker 1yeah , right , yeah , why don't works ? How is ? I kind of feel stupid um you know it's bad when you're googling how does easter work ?
Speaker 2why is easter when it is oh , that actually popped up wait , it's the okay .
Speaker 1This is crazy . Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon , that occurs on or after the Pascal . This says vernal equinox , mm-hmm , what in the we going by the moon .
Speaker 2Yeah , so it says the Pascal full moon . What is the Pascal full moon ? What is the Paschal full moon ?
Speaker 1So I don't .
Speaker 2I didn't know it either , and I'm I'm ashamed to say the date of Easter is tied to the relationship between the Paschal full moon , whose dates are based on calculations made long ago , obviously , and the church's fixed date of the March equinox , also called the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere , which is March 21st . Shout out to my son , jonah , that's his birthday . He's going to be 22 this year . What's up ? How old ? 22 . Oh my gosh , I know , thanks to this , determining when Easter will be can get more than a bit confusing because of the occasional differences between these ecclesiastical dates and the astronomical date I don't enjoy any of that .
Speaker 1Just make it the first sunday , I know it would be nicer if it was just like christmas is always the 25th if it could just always be . Yeah , I know well , it's got to be on a sunday but yeah , I know , I know it's gonna be on sunday , but Sundays are different . But just do the first Sunday , oh the first .
Speaker 2Yeah , yeah , who cares about the moon ? I know , well , I don't know .
Speaker 1Are werewolves celebrating Like the first full ?
Speaker 2what are ?
Speaker 1we doing . I don't know , I kind of want to ask my priest about that . I don't think I'm saying that right .
Speaker 2You ain't getting that pop up on your .
Speaker 1This is like just tune in , while we . Google .
Speaker 2I don't know .
Speaker 1And I don't know what I'm . The full moon used in the calculation is an artificial one based on the metonic cycle .
Speaker 2OK , I don't know any part of that sentence .
Speaker 1I'm scared to look up how Halloween works . Like , yeah , just pick a day man .
Speaker 2It's anywho , it's late this year , but can . I say this I'm hoping that , because it's April 20th and not the end of March or whatever , that it might be kind of warm . You know , people like I mean not everybody , you know whatever but if you go to church on Easter , everybody gets a new Easter dress . Or you know you might get some new sandals or whatever .
Speaker 2Everybody's dressed up and looks nice and want to take some pictures . Have an Easter egg hunt , whatever , and people are freezing and they got like a puffy jacket on with their Easter outfit it and people are freezing and they got like a puffy jacket on with their Easter outfit .
Speaker 1It'd be nice . It's like trick or treating . I know when it's cold .
Speaker 2It's nice when it's not yuck weather . I did not know that at all I'm gonna find , I'm gonna get to the bottom of that . Um , but yeah , because today's actually Ash Wednesday .
Speaker 1Okay . So it's yeah , we should I guess Easter Okay .
Speaker 2But anyhow . So allergy season . I guess I'll go back to the flow nays .
Speaker 1I guess , yeah , I know it's big news .
Speaker 2Sometimes I get nosebleeds , though I think it's because of the flow . Nays .
Speaker 1Oh , you think it's because you're snorting something up your nose that your nose bleeds .
Speaker 2You need a steroid nasal spray . What's that going to make ?
Speaker 1you do have nosebleeds in the middle of the night I've got blisters on my feet . I don't know what that is . I've been walking on hot coals every Wednesday . Okay , I don't know what that is .
Speaker 2I've been walking on hot coals every Wednesday , but as long as you're not sneezing and your eyes ain't itching . Right , but you're going to get away from the pollen and go . You're going to the beach , right ? Oh yeah , yes , spring break , pcb 2025 .
Speaker 1No , I'm just kidding . We're going to St George Island , which is a little island .
Speaker 2I don't know .
Speaker 1Oh , it's right , it's south of Apalachicola , and if you don't know where that is , I don't either . It's at the beach , okay yeah , where is Apalachicola ? But anyway , we're going with some friends and then hang out , supposedly . I mean , it's a small place .
Speaker 2Mm-hmm .
Speaker 1It's like a little strip of an island you know what I'm saying ?
Speaker 2Oh yeah , yeah , tiny yeah .
Speaker 1I don't know . Yeah , I guess that's technically still an island , but yeah , it kind of looks like a runway , I guess . Oh yeah , yeah , when you look at it on a map , mm-hmm , so it's got a little pool in the house which would be great , because I think it's going to be about 70 degrees high .
Speaker 2Oh is it heated .
Speaker 1Ocean's got icicles in it . It's going to be cold .
Speaker 2Okay . Oh yeah , that's further down than PCB . Yeah , it's down there . It's southwest of Tallahassee , Tallahassee yeah , okay , I've never been there .
Speaker 1I've been to Apalachicola . I went there 2010 . Oh wow , I remember it because AJ McCarron threw a pass to Amari Cooper to beat Georgia and accidentally , like , punched my buddy in the face because we were all excited like jumping up and down .
Speaker 2No .
Speaker 1It was me and Nick and I was like jumping up and down . Sorry , I didn't mean to , it didn't hurt . Yeah , but we went and played golf .
Speaker 2Okay , down there Nice .

Speaker 2Yeah .
Speaker 1And I don't like alligators .
Speaker 2I don't like alligators , so we were like , but it was chilling and whatever .
Speaker 1So we end up getting up there and hitting and then go get back in the cart and then when we go back to the little clubhouse or whatever , get some lunch . Well , yeah , we saw a gator on number whatever . Yeah , they're like oh yeah , they're out there . They're like have you seen the bears ? We're like wait , what , what ? So they're like , oh yeah , they're out there . They're like have you seen the bears ? We're like wait , what , what ? So they're like , oh yeah , we got black bears , which I didn't know they had .
