>> Jon: HELLO, FRIENDS. IT'S HAPPENED AT LAST. WINTER'S
CHILL GREY HAS YIELDED TO THE FULL WARMTH OF SPRING
THE NEW SEASON'S SEEDLINGS AWAKE FROM THEIR SLUMBER AND BURST
THROUGH THE THAWING LOAM BLOSSOMING IN GLORIOUS COLORS
AND RELEASING ANOTHER YEAR'S BOUNTY OF POLLEN
WHICH WHILE IT IS NICE FOR
THE PLANTS, THREATENS TO KILL US ALL!
>> ALLERGY EXPERTS THIS MORNING ARE WARNING OF A
POLLEN TSUNAMI. >> A POLLEN TSUNAMI IS SWEEPING
ACROSS MOST OF AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
>> POLLEN TSUNAMI SUDDENLY HITTING VERY HARD.
>> POLLEN TSUNAMI, SOUNDS LIKE WE MADE IT UP.
>> Jon: NO!
(LAUGHTER) NO, NO, POLLEN TSUNAMI,
DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE A REAL SCIENTIFIC TERM.
AND INCREDIBLY APPROPRIATE ONE COMPARING ITCHY EYES AND
SNEEZING TO NATURAL DISASTERS THAT KILL HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS.
REALLY! I CHECKED IN A BOTANY TEXTBOOK, POLLEN TSUNAMI.
RIGHT THERE IN THE GLOSSARY
NO, I DON'T EVEN NEED TO CHECK IT I TRUST YOU, YOU ARE
THE NEWS.
ALTHOUGH I FEEL LIKE LAST YEAR THEY GAVE ALLERGY
SEASON A DIFFERENT DISASTER MOVIE NAME.
>> WE ARE DONE AND DONE WITH THAT POLAR VORTEX FOR THIS
YEAR BUT WHAT ABOUT THE POLLEN VORTEX.
>> WHAT SOMEWHERE NOW CALLING THE POLLEN VORTEX.
>> THE POLLEN VORTEX IS LAUNCHING AN ASSAULT.
>> YES, YES, YES.
POLLEN VORTEX OR AS IT IS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO, THE
GARDEN.
(LAUGHTER) SO SOMETIMES THE CREATIVE
DESCRIPTIONS OF ALLERGY SEASON MISS THE MARK.
BUT ISN'T THAT WHY GOD INVENTED CLICHES
>> ABOUT 40 MILLION AMERICAN SUFFER FROM SEASONAL
ALLERGIES.
AND THIS SPRING THEY'RE GETTING HIT WITH A PERFECT
STORM OF MISERY.
>> A PERFECT STORM FOR ALLERGY SUFFERERS.
>> THE PERFECT STORM OF ALLERGIES.
>> PERFECT STORM FOR ALLERGY SUFFERERS.
>> THE PERFECT STORM, A LOT OF SNOW, A LOT OF WATER AND
NOW A LOT OF WARM WEATHER, PERFECT STORM.
(LAUGHTER) >> IF IT HAPPENS EVERY YEAR
AT THE SAME TIME, THAT DOESN'T REALLY COUNT AS A
PERFECT STORM, REALLY.
IT'S JUST A [BLEEP] STORM.
IN FACT THE ONLY THING PERFECT HERE IS HOW
PREDICTABLE THE COVERAGE OF POLLEN IS YEAR AFTER YEAR.
>> THIS SPRING IS SHAPING UP TO BE THE WORSE ALLERGY
SEASON IN YEARS.
>> ONE OF THE WORST ALLERGY SEASONS IN AREAS.
>> THE WORST ALLERGY SEASON THAT WE HAVE EVER, EVER
SEEN.
>> ONE OF THE WORST ALLERGY SEASONS ON RECORD.
>> ONE OF THE WORSE ALLERGY SEASONS EVER.
>> ONE OF THE WORSE ALLERGY SEASONS IN YEARS.
>> ALLERGY SEASON IS ALREADY ONE OF THE WORST IN RECENT
MEMORIES.
>> THIS IS THE WORST ALLERGY SEASON EVER.
>> ONE OF THE WORST ALLERGY SEASONS IN YEARS.
>> THE WORST ALLERGY SEASON IN A DECADE.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> HOW CAN EVERY YEAR BE THE
WORST EVER.
WHAT, IS IT THE KNICKS? 66 00:02:59,613 --> 00:00:00,000 YEAH, BOO ME, I OWN THE TEAM.
