1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Hey, this Sanny and Samantha. I'm looking the stuff I

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: never told you production if I heard you.

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 2: And welcome to another happy hour where I'm gonna complain.

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm a wine and beach without the wine once again.

5
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: This time I have satron tea with throat coat tea

6
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: with citron. Actually, that has been my favorite thing as

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: of late. Annie, are you sipping on anything? Uh?

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: No, just I mean nothing interesting? Is my water? It's lemon.

9
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you some citrone. I think you'd like it.

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: It has no tea in the one I get because

11
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: it's Korean. Also, that's a ginger version, like nice ginger

12
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: honey version that my partner loves. I don't like it

13
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: as much as it's not. I like the sweet versus

14
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: like citrusy versus like spicy, although spicy is nice sometimes.

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: But yes, I am complaining today because if you can't tell,

16
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: my voice is just a little off and I'm making

17
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: unpleasant noises into the mic for our fortunate producer as

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: well as any listening and on me. But yeah, it

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: is allergy season, y'all. And my allergies are not your

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: typical allergies, I will say. My partner suffers horribly that

21
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: he cannot breathe half the time, his eyes swell up.

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: He's sneezing constantly, like it's bad. When it hits him,

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: it hits him fast, and like everything in his face

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 2: is swollen. His eyes are swollen. Like it is not cute.

25
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he's cute, but I'm just saying the sickness

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: is not cute. But for me, I do this once

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: twice to three times a year. Thing where if there's

28
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: a sudden change in temperature, like quick changes, which Georgia

29
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: is constant, like literally it was thirty two the other

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: night and now it's seventy. Yeah, what in the world,

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: And just recently purchased a car, which y'all, adult things

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 2: are not fun. That's what I discovered. And we decided

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: to wash it because I'm gonna take care of this

34
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: one for real, for real. And immediately after washing it,

35
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: it was covered in yellow like it's like the trees

36
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 2: and the flowers have vomited and shown that they are

37
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: displeased with our well everything, and rightly so so therefore

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: it's gonna make us sick. And that's that's what where

39
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: we're at. So yeah, it is ridiculous. Actually my friend

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: who just moved back from the UK. She's been suffering

41
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: with some stuff too. She was like, how long does

42
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: this season last? And I was like forever, it doesn't,

43
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: it doesn't end, and she's like, no, no, for real,

44
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: for real. It was like, okay, it lasts still September.

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: She didn't believe me. She really thought I was like

46
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: being you know, facetious and being like, you know, sarcastic,

47
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: but no, it really really does. And actually I was

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: looking it up and it says that from Windley dot com,

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: w Y and d l Y the allergy season and

50
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: Georgia starts in the spring. Because Georgia has mild winter

51
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: seasonal allergies will come only begin in January. January, and

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: this is a longer allergy season than most other states.

53
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: Because Georgia has a longer allergy season, it can be

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: in less than ideal place for allergy sufferers. So I

55
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: should warn anyone who was thinking about coming to Georgia

56
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 2: if you have bad seasonal allergies, don't come here.

57
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Be prepared.

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: Like the medications. I don't know you would have thought

59
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: by this point, as advanced as everything has been, that

60
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: we would have a little more you know advancement for

61
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: the advancing, ah just.

62
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: Have more advancement or the advancing I.

63
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Mean, am I wrong? Though?

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: Am I?

65
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 2: Am I wrong? So it says the com counts are

66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: the highest in like April, May and September. Once again, yes,

67
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: it goes all the way into September. It talks about

68
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: how you should have a plan, an allergy treatment plan.

69
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Rightly so and then all of these things. I will

70
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: say for me, it's like postnatal like drainage. So my throat,

71
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: I get coffee, and I get very hoarse and I cough,

72
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: but like it's not awful awful. Like again, the way

73
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 2: that my partner suffers. His mom gives him allergy meds

74
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: as stocking stuffers, like at least three bottles you know

75
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: what that comes in handy, So thank you, he needs this.

76
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: She's also a pharmacist, so she knows. But with all

77
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: of that, it's not cute because I was just thinking

78
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: about how you and I have talked about our voices

79
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: are so important for our job, and the fact that

80
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: we've had like ads and things. I'm like, they're gonna

81
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: be mad, and I sound like an eighty year old

82
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: woman talking about their product. And I'm thinking like what

83
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: do I do because we also have a time limit,

84
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: and then they want us to predict who's doing what

85
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: and everything was gonna be okay, and of course there

86
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: are ways that we can, you know, work it out.

87
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: I've got you, I got you, and people who are

88
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: so amazing to advocate for each other. But just like,

89
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: how like disruptive this is as a profession, Like when

90
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: I was just doing social work, it would just be

91
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: kind of be funny and I'd just be like, you know,

92
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: I can't talk right now, I'm sick whatnot. We don't

93
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: really call out sick. That's not a thing. Like even

94
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: when I'm like half feverish, I'm like, I have to

95
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: finish watching this movie. And again we're privileged in that

96
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: that we're at home and I'm still isolated and not

97
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: having to get other people sick, but also in that

98
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: level of like, but we have to get things done.

99
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: There's no real substitute, and like we can't disrupt the

100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: flow necessarily just because we don't feel so great that day,

101
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: and these stupid allergies doesn't go away unless we move.

102
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: And now I'm sure we'll find another thing that I

103
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: don't like, and I get sick.

104
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 1: From that's true.

105
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: Do you have bad allergies?

106
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: Uh? No, but they have gotten worse since I stopped running.

107
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: I think because I was outside all the time and

108
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: a lot, I really didn't have them. And now when

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I wake up, I sneeze a lot and my nose

110
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: might run. And I've been told I have not verified this,

111
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: but I've been told that's kind of a thing of

112
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: like your body not being able to do that while

113
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: you're sleeping. So it goes away for me pretty quickly.

114
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: But I am very familiar with people who have a

115
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: lot of allergies. Laura and over on Saver has a

116
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: lot of allergies. My older brother growing up, I had

117
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: to have like specific sheets because of the allergies. So

118
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm very aware of how I annoy and how much

119
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: it interferes with your life.

120
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, like I can't imagine going through I

121
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: can't like my partner when I say, his face swells

122
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: up when it's a bad day, and again that's a

123
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: really bad day, but like the way his eyes my

124
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: parents My mom was the same way. Her eyes were

125
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: always bloodshot and she was constantly using eyedrops because they

126
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: were so itchy and red, which causes other problems again,

127
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: like for me it being a throat thing. I'm like,

128
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: oh this this is very inconvenient to the job in

129
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: every way. I just find it fascinating that we live

130
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: in an area that it's constant, Like people don't realize.

131
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: I just watched a TikTok video where they were like,

132
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: they're from the north and then they came down. They're

133
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: like what the like literally the fact that they can

134
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: just stand still and find patches of yellow, Like I

135
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: think someone was really confused about why the yellow while

136
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: the water or a puddle was yellow and like floating

137
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: with the yellow said, They're like, what is this? What

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: is this toxic stuff? And where everybody's like boo, that's

139
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: called pollen. Welcome to Georgia. It literally covers everything, like

140
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: we left something outside to let it dry, covered in yellow,

141
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: covered and yellow. And this amount of pollen that is

142
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 2: here is incredibly dense. It's like there's and there's nothing

143
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: you can do about it until September and even then

144
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: it's still maybe around.

145
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

146
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, So this is the happy hour is dedicated

147
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: to my voice and why I sound so off, Like

148
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: listening to the qwas, I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's worse.

149
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: So thank you for your patient Sanny, and to Christina

150
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: who also has to deal with the fact that I'm

151
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: sniffling and coughing and all these things on the side,

152
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: So sorry, I love you. You're the best.

153
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Christina is the best, and we wish you

154
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: all the strength in this battle against the allergies. Samantha.

155
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,840
