Oh hey, it's your own pops.

We're in a cardigan sitting on the porch with a cup of instant coffee, just watching the wind blow.

Smelling the storm, a common, it's alleyward.

Back with another episode of allergies.

Fologies, if you will.

Because this topic I have talked about on a previous episode, a mini-sode last year or the year before.

Just mentioning that it exists, but this year we dove face-first into a pile of crispy,

rustling leaves to bring you a one-on-one interview all about the changing of the seasons.

But before we drift into it, a little business up top.

Thank you to all the patrons on patreon.com, slash allergies for belonging to the Backstage Club

and submitting your questions to theologists.

You too can join First Little List 25 cents an episode if you would like.

We could not make the show without you.

And thanks to everyone who rates and subscribes to allegies, it keeps us up there

in the science charts with the big giants.

Just a little less.

And especially to those folks who take a few minutes to use their thumbs to write a review for me to lurk on like a creep.

And I can just pluck a freshy each week to prove it, such as for example, Aaron Miranda said,

the other day I was telling my aunt about ticks, acurology.

And she said, 50% of me is like, wow, you're such a cool person.

And 50% of me is like, wow, you are exceptionally weird.

And I think that was the best compliment I've ever received.
