Hey, everybody. Thanks for tuning in to the Recovering Fundamentalist podcast.

Guys, it has been an incredible week. I've got to ask you something right off the bat.

Have you ever had your uvula swell up, the punching bag thing in the back of your throat?

Has that ever happened to either of y'all?

You know, J.C., I think I've had everything happen humanly possible and i'm such a such a

hypochondriac that i've thought a lot of things happened were happening that really didn't happen

but i don't think i've ever had that happen Nate no no i've never had that happen that i know of

but brian it will happen to you this week.

It's going to happen. You're going to get it. Brian will be texting me saying, man, I don't know. There's this new sensation in the back of my throat.

Listen, you'll know because you can flop it up on your tongue. It's the most awkward feeling in the world. Listen, when I get really exhausted, I don't know if it's the pollen

or if it's because I sleep really hard when I'm exhausted and I snore a lot. When I left Danville,

Virginia the other night, I stopped at a hotel and I literally walked in, laid down on the bed,

had my phone in my hand, I facetimed my wife. I fell asleep. Woke up seven hours later. I hadn't moved. I didn't

turn on the TV. I didn't take a shower. I literally fell asleep. woke up the uvula, the punching

back thing in the back of my throat was swollen. And then two nights ago, it happened again.

And I was like, what is going on? It's the most awkward feeling in the world. It's weird. Have you ever been into a barn and you've seen like those tape things that hang down

and they they attract flies and the flies are like all stuck to the tape?

Yeah.

Well, apparently you're, that thing that hang you down in the back of your throat attracts pollen.

And so you must be like you're the pollinator.

I think that might be it.

Either that.
