Allergies and Easter
Welcome to hey Real Quick. I hope you're taking your Claritin or your Benadryl.
Speaker 2:Or Zyrtec, or all of them, oh my.
Speaker 1:Because I got some allergies.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, we were talking last week and you were like man, my right eye has just been itching, it's my left eye.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's my right on the inside corner. Yeah, next to my nose.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And if I mess up and kind of scratch it, Rub it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's like a dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1:When a dog starts scratching, like you're, just like, no, I'm.
Speaker 2:Never stopping.
Speaker 1:I'm getting it after it, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's bad. Yeah, I did that in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1:I woke myself up and I take a Zyrtec every day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:What.
Speaker 2:Benadryl Mm-hmm. Why?
Speaker 1:is it not good I?
Speaker 2:don'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 1:So make a safe one, whoever but.
Speaker 2:I'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 1:Yeah, I can't If I take a Benadryl and then midday.
Speaker 2:I have to power through, yeah.
Speaker 1:It would knocks me out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it knocks you out, I think more than me. It just makes me less happy, joyful, Like I'm kind of like flat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it knocks me out Like it. Maybe that's why I'm not itching, because I'm unconscious.
Speaker 2:But I don't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have to.
Speaker 2:Ooh, yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't take naps, but if I take a Benadryl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 2:I 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 1:You don't do them now.
Speaker 2:No, 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 2:Um, 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 1:I 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 2:I take it all year long.
Speaker 1:Really Maybe. That's why it doesn't work for me.
Speaker 2:I don't think it's very anecdotal Is that the word?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Like if stuff flares up. Zyrtec does nothing, I got to do Benadryl.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you need a heavy hitter Now. Do you do the Flonase stuff?
Speaker 1:No, Robin does Flonase.
Speaker 2:Astaline, that other one.
Speaker 1:I don't like it. Maybe it would help. I'll tell you what does not work. What's that For the itchy eye?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It'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 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So Carter had all his math homework and they do it on their Chromebook. So you're looking at a computer screen.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:Oh, wow, that long.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they still itch, but then I'm upstairs like maybe 10 minutes.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:But I'm just like blinking over and over again. I have to get close to the screen.
Speaker 2:So it doesn't help.
Speaker 1:Not really.
Speaker 2:I don't think it helps either. I tried them when you told me about them a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1:It 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 2:Yes, like the other day, yesterday, yeah.
Speaker 1:So we're in the backyard with the dogs for the football a little bit, maybe like 20 minutes.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Yeah, 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 1:Once 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 2:Oh yeah, and the pollining, and there's a few rounds of that, you know.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a scary movie. It is a scary movie. Have you seen the pollining? Have you?
Speaker 2:been 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 1:I mean, the dogs have gone outside.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they better go outside, don't go in the house.
Speaker 1:I'm surprised our dogs don't have allergies. You know how dogs sneeze sometimes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they get that like hard sneeze my dog did and she would like keep going and she had skin allergies.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:They'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 1:Yeah, 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 2:No, could be 17. Could be three, I don't know.
Speaker 1:But that's a lot of wiping.
Speaker 2:It's a lot of wiping and they don't really Sorry. We have yeah, yeah, standard.
Speaker 1:They don't really do it. It's time to think Dog's paws are like little sandpaper toes.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then you get a Clorox wipe. First of all, it destroys the wipe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:It's basically a baby wipe, which is even dinkier.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it's like a little dinky. That's like here take this Clorox wipe and go clean off that cinder block.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it gets kind of disintegrate. They have a thing now that you can stick their dog.
Speaker 1:We got that. Oh, you fill it with water.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, it's got little bristles and you dunk their paws. You're ahead of me, okay, does it?
Speaker 1:work. 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 2:Oh, oh Bye. We had to take, we'll take the dirt.
Speaker 1:Raid the vet to get the cytopoint injection.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:The little allergy shot. It takes about three or four days to kick in.
Speaker 2:Does it help itchy eyes? Can I get it? No, go ahead, sorry, I probably should have got it.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Like 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 2:How long is?
Speaker 1:it 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 2:I ain't doing this every five weeks or seven. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1:It's going to last three months. I'll go ahead and tell you right now that's how long it's lasting.
Speaker 2:Oh 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 1:I guess Nashville's not the only place like this, but it is 80.
Speaker 2:It's wishy-washy, yeah.
Speaker 1:And 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 2:Yeah, and you know, sometimes up here it's like 10 degrees or zero. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But 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 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Like 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 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:And he was wrapped up in the blanket during the game.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:When a teenager has a giant blanket on in public.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know it's cold, it's cold yeah.
Speaker 1:My feet were numb.
Speaker 2:Ooh, uh-uh yeah.
Speaker 1:And 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 2:Yeah, we ain't got any circulation man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I should be at home right now, but now I'm here.
Speaker 2:Right Should be in my jammies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, on the couch, be in a lazy boy.
Speaker 2:Yeah. With a blanket, maybe a heated blanket. There you go.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:It'll probably snow again.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, we're going to get enough snow.
Speaker 2:Before the end of April. Yeah, that's when people like they're totally up for it.
Speaker 1:It's going to snow two days before Easter. That's what's going to happen. Which one is Easter now? June?
Speaker 2:April 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 1:I brought you some flip-flops and some sunscreen.
Speaker 2:And a beach umbrella. But yeah, it's late this year, but man.
Speaker 1:Why is it late? When do they? Why is it so late? I don't know how that works.
Speaker 2:How does easter work?
Speaker 1:well, it goes, is it all I mean?
Speaker 2:I know like why is good friday so late?
Speaker 1:yeah, 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 2:why is easter when it is oh, that actually popped up wait, it's the okay.
Speaker 1:This 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 2:Yeah, so it says the Pascal full moon. What is the Pascal full moon? What is the Paschal full moon?
Speaker 1:So I don't.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:Just 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 2:Yeah, yeah, who cares about the moon? I know, well, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Are werewolves celebrating Like the first full?
Speaker 2:what are?
Speaker 1:we 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 2:You ain't getting that pop up on your.
Speaker 1:This is like just tune in, while we. Google.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:And I don't know what I'm. The full moon used in the calculation is an artificial one based on the metonic cycle.
Speaker 2:OK, I don't know any part of that sentence.
Speaker 1:I'm scared to look up how Halloween works. Like, yeah, just pick a day man.
Speaker 2:It'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 2:Everybody'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 1:It'd be nice. It's like trick or treating. I know when it's cold.
Speaker 2:It'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 1:Okay. So it's yeah, we should I guess Easter Okay.
Speaker 2:But anyhow. So allergy season. I guess I'll go back to the flow nays.
Speaker 1:I guess, yeah, I know it's big news.
Speaker 2:Sometimes I get nosebleeds, though I think it's because of the flow. Nays.
Speaker 1:Oh, you think it's because you're snorting something up your nose that your nose bleeds.
Speaker 2:You need a steroid nasal spray. What's that going to make?
Speaker 1:you 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 2:I'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 1:No, I'm just kidding. We're going to St George Island, which is a little island.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Oh, 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 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:It's like a little strip of an island you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, tiny yeah.
Speaker 1:I 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 2:Oh is it heated.
Speaker 1:Ocean's got icicles in it. It's going to be cold.
Speaker 2:Okay. 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 1:I'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 2:No.
Speaker 1:It 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 2:Okay, down there Nice.
Speaker 1:Which is nice. I will say this when we went down there to play golf we go to the tee box and there was a neither one of us are good at golf and we go to the tee box and there was like maybe a four or five foot alligator.
Speaker 2:Whoa Like just down.
Speaker 1:Nope, like maybe 20 feet from it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I don't like alligators.
Speaker 2:I don't like alligators, so we were like, but it was chilling and whatever.
Speaker 1:So 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.
Speaker 2:I forget. Florida has black bears. I didn't know they had bears.
Speaker 1:Yes, and she was like yeah, look at the dumps. All their dumpsters have like locks on them yeah. So the'd take a golf club and like, rustle some leaves or some pine straw.
Speaker 2:I'm like that's it.
Speaker 1:That's fine, just throw it. Oh, I was scared to death.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I couldn't do it. But, yeah, yeah, I can't. I can't be somewhere where there's bears.
Speaker 1:No, I can't concentrate on something else. When there's bears, no Bears. Uh-uh, no I can't concentrate on something else when there's bears.
Speaker 2:No, but not to get in the bear thing again. I know, yeah, I can't do it, I know.

He's got some buddies coming and we're all going to, I guess like a guy's trip, but we're going to just play golf a couple of days. But I don't really play golf anymore. Oh yeah, you more. Oh yeah, but either. Probably everybody's kind of the same boat, probably. So it's just weird, you all get together and then you play something that most of you are horrible.

Speaker 1:Is that a hybrid? Is that electric? Yeah, what's it? Run on Pataday? That'd be $4 million. Fill it up, yeah, I don't know. Anyway, that's disgusting when you think about it.
Speaker 2:It is, and you know what. We've got to stop doing it.
Speaker 1:I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 2:No, let's not do it.
Speaker 1:I used to be like people are like. Can you take your shoes off? I'm like that's like Dusty Slay.
