0:00.0 | I'm starting to think seasonal allergies are some kind of bullsh- |
0:05.0 | Like, not that they're not real, but that I, so I have in the last few years gotten really bad seasonal allergies. |
0:13.5 | And it seems like every single year, it is not only worse, but that everybody else is saying, |
0:21.0 | oh, you know, I read or heard blah blah, this is the worst year ever for a pollen or whatever, whatever. |
