Hey guys and welcome back to Normally. The show with Normalish takes for when the news gets weird.

I am Mary Catherine Ham. And I am Carol Markowitz. Hi, Mary Catherine. How was you again?

Oh, it was pretty good. Un eventful. I have the annual denial that I have seasonal allergies and

acceptance that I have seasonal allergies because I'm like, I am young and

vibrant and I, no thing bothers me. And then right around mid-March or late March, I'm like,

what's wrong with me? Right. Yes, that. Take some Zyrtec, girl. I don't know if it's youth

related. My middle son has had it real bad his whole life. We moved to Florida three years ago. It largely went away.

We were like, oh, Florida is the best. This is, you know, all fixed. This year came back with a vengeance.

Florida was like, no, actually, we have all the pollen here and you will suffer.

Sometimes the different kind of pollen will save you. See, my pride comes from living in North

Carolina and Georgia before coming here. So I was like was like ha pollen can't touch me and it turns out here it can't

different pollen man yeah oh well there's a lot of news today um our first story is the b AOC rally. And they had a rally that had spillover crowds.

Um, you know, my, my, my normally husband pointed out, like, they only reserved a arena for 800 people.

And then they got like more than that. And so it's like not these humongous numbers that it seems to be.

But anyway, the Welshwood Journal reports,

they initially reserved a space at their first stop of Omaha and Nebraska

that could hold 800 people but had to move to our bigger venues

that 3,400 could attend.

Bernie said this is insane.

I'm not running for anything.

And the two-time presidential candidate said in an interview,

people are outraged and they're frightened and they want to fight back.
