  Speaker 1: for listening to our.

  Speaker 2: Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today. We're talking about sickness because there's
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: so much going around in the depths of winter across
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: New Zealand, and it's been the last few last few winters.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: People get smashed a lot. And I guess I'm very
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: similar to you, Tony. I'm one of those people. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: don't like taking time off, so the same with you.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: When you took time off, we knew you were sick.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: When I took time off, was like, well and more
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: than one day. I don't like doing it, but you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: have to.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I often think that we're the mugs for
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: having their attitude, you know, Like I look around and
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: there's actually been a few scary stories in the media
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: lately about people that you know, had some very minor
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: symptoms and a few days later died of the flu.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: And another situation where someone didn't follow the advice of
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: the doctor after coming out of hospital and they needed
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: it up back in there. So I just I don't know.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I know we're supposed to. I know COVID was meant
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to have made us prioritize our health. But I still
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily think that message is getting through. And I
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: have to say I've lapsed. I was vigilant around COVID.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: But ask me if I've got my lttus COVID jab. No,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I haven't. Not even I got a food jab because
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: it was here at work. But the rest of my
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: family hasn't it. Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I used to have the hand sanitizer in the car
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and every time I petrol stations, for example, I get
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in the car and sanitize my hands. I don't do
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: that anymore.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: That was before COVID.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: You did that, okay, you got mesked to do it,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and shopping trolleys, but no. And then I think what
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: COVID did as well, We kind of we forgot how
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: bad the flu can be. So covid it was not COVID.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: You're okay, but COVID's bad.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: But no flu.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Still there's people die from the flu every year in
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: New Zealand, and we forget that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: And there's a reason why no one's ever cure with
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: the flu, because it just keeps changing and morphing into
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: a different strain, and it freaks me out. I have
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to say, as apparent, when I think Okay, at what
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: moment do you You don't want to be the hypochondriac parent
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: that just at the slightest sniffle takes them in and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: then they just go, oh no, they don't know any
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: antibotos that don't need anything. But you also don't want
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to be the one that misjudges a sore throat and
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that becomes strip throat or something.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I totally agree. But also you don't want to be
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that parent or will be that kid at school who's
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: got you know, candlewicks can and they're still being sent
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to school. I'm like, what where are your caregivers at
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: that point that you keep the child home?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Do you know what? I think? Schools and dayciars and
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: childcare centers have got quite good now, and at the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: slightest sign of a temp or a runny nose, they
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: will ring and say you need to come and pick
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: your kid up good And that infuriates some people. But
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I would rather than are on the side of caution
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: in that respect.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Because you know what it's like. I mean, if you've
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: had kids go through the whole childcare system, you know
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that daycares and primary schools and even high schools and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: stuff can be a Petri dish and they bring that
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: home and then what happens, You will get knocked down
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I just don't think there's ever any prizes
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: for being a hero a like. I think back to
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, remember when I had gastrop and
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't know I had gestro. I went to Beers
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and knowing that Sam wasn't going to be on the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: show the next day, so it's just you and I JS.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Oh no, it was just just Sam and I and Samuel,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: you will already suckle away and at you know, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: felt a bit tired, so I went to bed early,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: but I think I just missed John the chat cool,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: We're all sorted and done everything. And then I woke
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: at I think two three am, and I know it
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: was one am, and I was in such like I
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: had such a saw tummy. But even then, and I
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: said to my husband, I think I might like spew
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: and I don't. I don't. I'm not a spewer at all.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: So it takes a lot for me to get to
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: that point. And I was still in denial at that point,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and I was freaking out that I might not be
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: there for the show. But I said to me, It'll
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: probably just be one spew and then I'll be fine,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And that's that's the default. I think sometimes your mind
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: goes to, like, in what world if I'm spewing in
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: the night, am I going to work at four am?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: With me? So I was waiting because I had like
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I got like a flu thing. But then I got laryngitis.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I remember I.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Actually came to work that morning. I couldn't talk and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: you guys see me home, I know you can't talk well.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: So essentially this whole podcast has been just to let
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you know that you don't get any hero metals being
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: like Jason and I and next time we're not feeling well,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and or if you're just mentally done, it's actually okay
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: to take a day off. You have ten sick days
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a year for a reason. It's not like you don't
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: get an award for the person who didn't take the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: most sick day.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You're sorry. And if you can't get ano adoptor surgery
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: or adoptor's waiting room because they're slammed at the moment,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: you can always call Healthline because that's free and it's
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: an eight hundred number. Just give them a bus. Don't
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: be brave about it, don't be tired, to be tough,
