First off, thank you to everyone who's making this show possible by supporting on Patreon.

Your donations, the ones who are supporting make this free, so I wish to

robustly high five each and every one of you. If you're not supporting on Patreon because you're like,

what's in it for me? I feel you, I get you. And for as little as 25 cents an episode, you can become a

patron in case you want to and you get your questions bumped up to the top of the list. Now this

episode was recorded before I knew what a Patreon page was, but you get it, you know, on the episodes

going forward. Also, if you like the podcast, you just want a signal boost. That also means the world

to me. I'm only one person with a Twitter account, but all y'all's, you have a lot more power than

me when it comes to spreading the word. Also, rating and reviewing on iTunes is really quick and

painless. I just started doing it for other people's podcasts and I was like, oh my god, this is so

easy. And it bumps the show up on the charts. So other people hear about it, which is huge.

So does tweeting and telling friends and all that. So thank you for that. And if you haven't

done it, maybe do it. And subscribe if you haven't already because as the holidays come up, I

may have to go every other week here and there because of travel. So if you subscribe, this way

you'll know as soon as a fresh as hell episode is up for you. So do that. Okay. Hi. Hi. Hello. Hi.

So last week's episode was all about weird birds, mating habits, and horned screamers and

butts. And I thought this week, let's go weirder. Let's talk about the stuff human beings put on our

faces. And maybe right now you're like, gosh, it has metangii. And this is a science podcast.

To which I say it's called allergies. So cross-metology is anology. And it does take just a

buttload of passion and school and hours to become a cosmologist. And if you've ever watched

the television set or a movie or seen a person at their wedding, perhaps a bride, you have enjoyed

the work and expertise of people who know way more about this than I do or you maybe.
