Double Take-Sick Episode

The hosts of the radio show Double Take discuss their week and how they have been feeling sick. They talk about their schoolwork and how they have been battling illnesses. They then discuss their worst experiences with being sick, including getting COVID. They share stories about feeling unwell and having to miss work or school. welcome you to Brinton Hall 301 for this week's edition of Double Take and yeah you were messing around too much over there and then I gave you a countdown. I'm awake. Yeah, now you're awake. Now you're paying attention. I've been paying attention. What are you talking about? Alright. So we are back with another edition. As far as the week goes, nothing too exciting. That was actually pretty mellow, pretty boring for the most part actually. Yeah, honestly not too much going on. Just a lot of chilling out. Not really doing much aside from schoolwork. I'm really enjoying my schoolwork, getting those journalism classes. I'm really, really having a good time with those. Aside from that, just really trying to manage and developing this or managing the sickness that I have. Yeah, I don't know what it is. I think it was from the retreat last weekend. I think that it just has been incubating and it finally decided to show itself on Tuesday. Yeah, both of us have been kind of battling a little bit of like an EMT type infection. Just like for the last maybe half of it started Wednesday I think. I think it was Tuesday. Either Tuesday or Wednesday it started and now it's like just on the backswing trying to get back into tip-top shape for the weekend. But as for me, my classes, we have two of the same classes so there's not much to talk about with those ones other than that. Just a lot of writing, a lot of reading, a lot of late nights. I wouldn't say late nights. The assignments are pretty easy. I understand them a good bit. Well, that's up to you. That's your assignments. My assignments are a little different than yours because I have different classes. We each have one. We have two different classes. We have the same class for journalism. Well, I know that. That's why I said besides the first two, philosophy is pretty hard. Not hard, but it's just it's interesting. Well, speaking of, you know, ears, use them, but today's episode is going to be based on sick day activities. Sick day, you know, what was your worst illness that you had experienced? What did you do on your sick days? How did you convince your mom or our mom to let you stay home even if you weren't that sick? Be careful now. Mom knows that we have this show. Okay, well, you know, we're growing up. We're almost 21. We could reveal our secrets. We could, you know, we could keep, it's like revealing a little bit of slip of a secret every, every, like three years. Every couple of months. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a song about that, but for now we'll be right back here on Doubletake. This is the WCC Radio Coastal County University student-run radio station. We're clear. Did you start the audacity recording? Yeah, a little late, but I started it. Okay. I'm glad you're aware. I was not. I was not aware. I was completely blanked out on Monday. I swear to God, I knew that. Text us. You're too loud. There's no music. I will. Probably Dashaun Watson. Brock Osweiler. Probably. 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 5. Welcome back to Doubletake. So, before we let off the episode, we said this is going to be about sick day activities, sickness, all those good things. You know, it is the season. We're getting in the back end of winter into spring soon. So, you know, you're going to be like, am I actually sick or is it just my allergies flaring up? Sickness and good things are never in the same sentence. Those should never be in the same sentence. What? Sickness and good things. Well, there's not a lot of good things that come out of being sick, in my opinion. Besides, you know, like you were talking about with sick days. It just kind of resets your immune system. I guess. Some good things can come from resetting your immune system and such. I guess, yeah. With how many people get the common cold every year, it's surprising how no one has built up a natural immune system. Bless you. Thank you. Speaking of which, that's been going on all the past week. I'm going to try and turn away from the microphone. I need to like sniffle. Yeah. I'm going to turn away from the microphone. Well, it's like we don't have one of those buttons where you press it to cough. Yeah, yeah. It's just, I apologize if anyone hears me sniffling or me coughing. I just want to be clear in my throat. I know I sound very gravely right now, but we turn onward. Regardless, regardless, what do you want to start with? Do you want to start with like the story of like the worst experience you've had when being sick in your youth? I mean, we could. All right, go ahead. Absolutely could. It's hard to, well I wouldn't say it's hard to pick. I have one in mind, but with sickness, I got sick every year with a sinus infection. So I'm no stranger to, I wouldn't say I'm no stranger to sickness, I'm no stranger to not feeling well. Feeling generally unwell around this time of the year. That's where my worst sickness goes. Strep, when I had strep throat, that really sucked. But I wasn't really sick per se. It was just a sore throat on steroids, in my eyes. Yeah, strep is pretty rough. Strep was pretty rough. Those stomach bugs were also nothing to mess with. No, but we're looking for one specific, that one that really just kind of traumatized you. I'd have to say when I got, I think I'd say when I got COVID the first time. Actually no, the second time, because the second time was worse. I think that was the worst sickness I've had, the second time I got COVID. Fair enough. Because I felt it, I told you the story, this was when we were coming back from working with the orientation team over the summer. We were done with the orientation, we were going back home for a while before we had to come back down. Yeah. And I was fine when I woke up, when I packed the car, when I got in the car, I was fine. After Waffle House, over breakfast, I'd started, I didn't start to not feel good, but something felt off, something felt, bless you, something felt different, something felt off. And as the day went more and more, it got worse. And so I finally was like, hey, I'm not feeling too good. We finally got to Pennsylvania, actually to a rest stop in Pennsylvania. I was like, hey, I'm not feeling too good. Oh my God, my throat is getting so dry by just my talking. Damn. Oh, meet me again, meet me again. Yeah, we're not sick. We're not, we didn't come to the studio where it's contagious. We just, you know, just getting rid of the residual stuff and kind of, you know, it's got to go through its phases. It's like my grandma said, it's the nine day, nine days, three days having, three days coming, three days going. It was like a nine day sickness. Yeah. Three days getting, three days having, three days going. Yeah. Yeah. But we're not contagious. It's just like a cold, like a cold, up a notch a little. We're finding ourselves like making it sick through the, through the airwaves. Well, I'm not worried about anyone. I was going to say, I'm worried about whoever uses these spikes again. This material. Oh, we'll, we'll wipe down. We'll see if we can find any chlorox spikes to wipe down with. There's some back there, so we'll just do that. Anyway, finish up my story. I wasn't feeling good. We got into Pennsylvania. And then when we got back to the house, it got even worse. And my mom was made, mom, God bless her, she made spaghetti. I love spaghetti. I love her, the sausage she makes. I love my mom's spaghetti, like M&M. It was good. I ate the spaghetti, but I wasn't feeling too great afterwards. But I still ate it. I kept it, didn't come up, kept it down. And then I woke up the next morning, and I felt like when I had COVID the first time, I felt generally unwell. And it was worse because my eyes hurt, the front of my head hurt like, it hurt so bad. I felt weak. My throat hurt, my head hurt. Everything just wasn't good. You mean at least? Yeah. Dang. My throat just keeps getting dry. Keeps getting dry. And that lasted for like, what, four days? I was supposed to go back to work that, the day after I got back, I was supposed to go back to work at a Big Lots, but I had to call off because I wasn't, I couldn't go. I was sick. I think I went to work that day, that Monday. You did. I ended up having to, I, after three days, I decided that I'm going to go because, you know, I feel okay, but not like 100% health. I limped through that shift. I went next door and I bought some Sudafed, some off-brand Sudafed because my sinuses were killing me. I ended up buying a Navage, seeing if I can like, see if that will relieve the pressure or anything, but that's, that's my story. That was the worst I've ever had, besides when I had the flu. Okay. I think the worst I ever had for an illness was back when I was in the sixth, seventh grade, seventh or eighth grade. And it was like the day, funny enough, the day before, the day before that next day of school, I was like, I'm not going to want to go to school tomorrow. Because like no really young kid really wants to go to school. So it's kind of like that hoping that you, you know, it gets canceled, there's a freak semester or something like that. And then it's careful what you wish for. So I ended up waking up feeling like death. I woke up feeling like garbage. My temperature was already at like a high 99 and like the hundreds. It's like, yep, you're staying home. It's over. You're staying home. I then keep, it was like a cough. It was a headache, sore throat. And then I kept like going in and out. It felt like I was going in and out of consciousness. Like I was just kind of hallucinating a little bit. Like I'd wake up, I'd be like, there's some like scenario that's going on in my head that I just can't quite pinpoint. And then I go back to sleep. And then I wake up and then like that same scenario is happening again. And then I go back to sleep. And then I woke up again. In between some of those times where I woke up and went back to sleep, I threw up whatever I had in my stomach at the time, whether it was water or some, some crackers or something to make sure I don't shrivel up and die in the bed. Some Gatorade or something. And then, and then it got worrisome. My temperature climbed to 104. And it was like, okay, you know, your temperature's only been climbing. It has not gone down. So we're going to try and give you, like give you a tepid bath where it's like the water's not too hot, but it's like on the cooler side. And if that doesn't help to lower your body temperature, you got to go to the hospital. They were afraid I was going to die. I think that was the worst fever you ever had. Yeah, no doubt. Like I've had fevers where I've gone up to 103, 102 and that's it. Like, go ahead, sorry, I'm not trying to take over your story. But that's the worst fever I'd ever had. And that's the, my body was just, I didn't want to move. I didn't want to do anything. I didn't even want to drink water. I just wanted to sleep. I just wanted to get it over with and just not deal with it anymore. Yeah, go ahead. Because we're talking about like fevers. I think my highest fever was when I had COVID the first time when it was 101, 102. Because I don't usually get high fevers. You do. When you get sick, you get sick. Oh yeah, I'm like my mom. When she gets sick, she's just, she's down for the count. I don't usually get sick either. I had those yearly sinus infections, that was it. But I don't usually get sick. But I don't get, I don't get sick as bad. You got frequently like other sicknesses more than I did. You got the flu more than I did. And you got like the, like you've had COVID twice. I think I had got COVID once. But other than that, it never has been. Just like the, you know, some of your infections here and there, strep throat, had a bout with that at one time. I remember you had a bout with strep throat and a stomach bug at the same time. That was not fun. It was still not my worst though. No, you gave your worst. Yeah, that's like top three though for me. Top three. Well, COVID, it was COVID, the flu, and then that. But you know, what do you expect when you go to public school? True. You're exposed to a bunch of different germs. That's probably why I'm sick now, is because we were exposed to a lot of different germs with the retreat. All righty. Well, we'll be back here on Double Take with more of this fever episode. Now that we've had time to properly medicate. All right, now that we've had time to properly medicate, welcome back to Double Take on MWC Radio Coastal University student-run radio station. So to continue moving forward with this, our favorite sick day activities, that's a universal thing between the... There's a lot of universal sick day activities. Yeah. What's the one that really sticks out in your mind? Price is Right. Yeah. 100%, the Price is Right. Well, first, first, first, it was Let's Make a Deal. That was the first one that came out at 10 a.m., 10 a.m. on CBS. It was Let's Make a Deal. Then afterwards was Price is Right. Yes. That was the pinnacle of sick day. I don't know how... Number one, I don't know how people could watch Judge Judy on their sick days. I don't even think Judge Judy was that entertaining, to be honest. No, but I can understand Jerry Springer and Maury. Maury, yeah. I can understand Maury. Maury, yeah. I can understand those. Yeah, those two are pretty solid choices for sick day activities. But I remember being sick and turning on the Price is Right and hoping that they play Plinko. Yeah, Plinko was my favorite Price is Right game, and I would always hope every time they turned it on when I was sick, they would play Plinko. Yeah, it was like one of those MLB stats where it's like, okay, sick days. Okay, now I'm sick. Okay, the Price is Right is on. Those are 100% a thing. So the days you aren't sick, there's still Price is Right. The days you are sick, there's Price is Right. Okay, what games are they going to play on the Price is Right? It's like a whole different score sheet. Well, that's just probability. Either way, listen, that's what the MLB is, is probability. True, true, true. But other than that, any other sick day, if you're sick enough to stay home, you're too sick to laugh. You're too sick to have fun. You see, I don't know where I'm trying to go with that one. That's just, if you're sick, if you're too sick to go to school, you're too sick to laugh or to do anything else. I do agree to a certain extent. Yes. If you're sick, you should be resting. But if it's like one of those sicknesses where, like, you're not fatigued, but, like, you can't go because you can get someone else sick. Yeah. And they can get it really bad. No, like, it's just you're home. Like, do what you normally do on days you're home, something like that. I can get up and, like, get something to eat or something or watch TV or something. Like, I'm not too sick to where I'm, like, so fatigued that I need to sleep all the time. Like, I'm too sick to, like, I can't focus in class. I'm coughing. It's going to distract a lot of people. My nose is constantly running, so I can't, like, go. I'm going to keep needing to go up to the front and get a tissue, stuff like that, which that's kind of embarrassing that the teacher would put the tissues up at the front of the classroom, like making it known if you need a tissue to go get it instead of the back of the classroom. I'm still bringing tissues with me to class. My nose is running during philosophy. Listen, I've got to get a little thing of Kleenex out of your mind me. Yeah, those little, like, pocket. Little plastic ones. Yeah. Little pocket tissue packs to, like, yeah. Aside from the Price is Right, what do you have in mind? For sick day activities? Yeah. Well, number one is sleep. Well, besides the normal stuff like rest. Watching TV, you know, when the Price is Right. Once we get dealer over, then it's just kind of, you know, serving daytime television. I will say that there were times that, and I'm sorry, Mom, I faked being sick because when I was sick, I got to sit in the living room and watch Days of Our Lives with my grandma. Yeah, I remember that. I remember, like, faking it, like, so much that, like, when I'd get to school, get the same exact thing I'd always get and then be like, oh, you know, I'm sick, and, like, vomit, and then I'd have to go home, and then I'd get home, and I'd be like, okay, you know, you're sick, and then I'd sit in the living room with Nani and watch Days of Our Lives. I was just so invested as a little, like, I was still, like, 10, 11 at the time, maybe nine years old, and I was just so invested in this daytime television. I would never intentionally go. Like, whenever I was picked up from school, it was always a reason. I would never go there and intentionally, like, fake being sick once I was already there because I don't want to have Mom come all the way back. Well, when we were going to Valley West, it was you'd walk to the bus stop. We really never dropped off. Maybe with our dad, but not Mom. We'd walk from our Nana's to, no, I remember that. Or we'd walk across the street from our house in 44th over to the bus stop. Literally across the street. Sick day activities. The days when Mom wasn't at home, like, she had to go to work on the days we were sick. And she wasn't around video games. Even when I was sick. Like, not when I'm, I'm not saying that I'm innocent. Like, I have faked being sick before. Yeah. Because you just don't want to go to class that day. And it's understandable. You just, it is required by law to be in class. It's one of those universal things. Unless you had a perfect attendance record, in which case, this is not for you. Unless you're one of those nerds with a perfect attendance, you know, certificate framed up on their wall somewhere when they were in high school. And this is not for you. No. Video games. This is for those who lived. When I had the 360 back in the day, it was always man 12. That was my go-to. That or when we saw NCAA on there. The good one, NCAA 14. Yep. The last one they made. The very last one they made. Besides the one coming, the new one coming out though. Yes. That's the whole thing. Sick day activities, there's games. Days on television. That's always a go-to when you were, like, our age and didn't have a smartphone. Video games. Video games when your mom wasn't home. When I did get a smartphone, YouTube, obviously. Of course, YouTube. Obviously it was YouTube. I remember very distinctly when I had the flu, the first thing I did was I wanted, I was craving nostalgia. So what I did is I would have YouTube. I even saved the playlist. I think it's still on my YouTube. The playlist is still saved. I have saved Bear Ghosts, LCP series. Oh, my God. I have to re-watch all those. Yeah. I decided I wanted to start watching that. I got through, like, maybe half the first episode and then passed out. Because your body was telling you, yeah, this is for real, dude. Just bed. Yeah. Go to sleep. That was a little tidbit with the YouTube thing. Sick day activities. There's not really many that you can do while you're sick. Even faking sick, there's not much you can do. Well, you could. If you were among the boulder of the people who fake being sick, you could leave the house and stuff like that. True. There were people that did that. There were people that would fake sick and then leave the house, but not me. That was a good one. If I was faking being sick, I would sell that. 100% would sell that to the point where, and God bless my mom. I love my mom. I never meant to, like, it's a white lie. It's something you just didn't want to go to school. I didn't come downstairs. I don't like going downstairs when she comes home from work or something and be like, hey, Mom. Yeah. Hey, bud, how you feeling? I'm feeling all right. Feeling better. You think she knew? I think deep down she knew, but she just didn't want to go through the hassle. Didn't want to fight on it. Yeah. I get that. Especially being an adult now, I get it. I 100% get it. And then when I actually have a kid, I'm 1000% get it. Oh, yeah, 100%. I still have to go and wish her a happy birthday. Yeah, I know. So, right now, this is the first time I'm saying happy birthday to my mom. It's happy birthday on the air. She's probably not listening, but maybe not. You never know, though. You never know. To your point, there's really not much you can do for sick day activities. Nowadays, there's a lot more than there was when we were in elementary and in middle school. Oh, yeah. Well, there's a lot of people. It's like the parents don't care. They have access to more things to do. Yeah, but on the same side, there's really no more sick days. Yeah. It's like all the work could be uploaded to a Google Classroom or something, and then you have to do it at home. So, you can make it up at home that day if you're feeling better, and you can just. Right. Back in my day, when we were just getting Chromebooks in, like, the seventh, eighth grade, back in my day, when we were sick, you had to go to your teacher and be like, hey, what did I miss? And they would give you, like, the papers. Yeah, give you the worksheets, give you the. Or, if you did know somebody that was at school and they knew you were sick and they were able to go to your house, they would ask the teacher. They would say, hey, I know. I'm going to give it to them. And they would give it to that person. They would give them to the person that was sick. Yeah. Lots of things have changed since being sick was a thing. It hasn't been. Sick days. Sick days have evolved over the years. They're still sick days. They're still going to be sick days. It's just the fact that how they're handled is different and how you make up the work is different. Of course. Of course. That's the same with a lot of things. But, you know, you live. And, you know, it's just a little white lie every now and then. No, nothing wrong with that. Welcome back here on Double Take on WCCU radio. Welcome back to Double Take. So now that we are in the last 10-minute segment, so we're going to talk about some when we double take without some takes. Remedies. Cold and flu remedies when you're sick. What are some that pop in your mind, Cade? You can't beat a nice chicken noodle soup. In all honesty, you cannot beat a nice chicken noodle soup. I know you don't like chicken noodle soup, but I love chicken noodle soup. I knew you were going to say chicken noodle soup too. I didn't know you were going to say this early. Well, it's so good. I've been thinking since we started, the idea was hatched, like I'm going to talk about chicken noodle soup eventually when we talk about this. Chicken noodle soup, man. That's one of the ones that possibly had sleep, obviously. Sleep is the best medicine for being sick. No, we'll go into the remedies in a minute. We're going to sit here and talk about chicken noodle soup for a second. I don't understand how it's supposed to make you feel better. Comfort. Doesn't hide. Okay, so your body is warm on the inside, correct, because you're sick. So soup is hot. Walk with me. I'm walking with you. So soup is hot. Why are you putting more hot in your body, warming yourself up more while you're sick? Well, typically soup is supposed to be a meal that you come inside from the cold in the winter and eat. I believe chicken noodle soup, it's supposed to provide that comfort thing. I get putting hot in the hot. I get it. I get that. It's supposed to be a comfort thing. Also, why is it called a cold when you get hot when you have it? I don't know. You get it from the cold. With the cold, you're potentially going to get like a low-grade fever. So I'm like, you usually get it when it's cold out. I just, I think chicken noodle soup is overrated in my opinion. Bless you. Thank you. I just don't get it. It's okay to be wrong. No, it's okay to be wrong. Chicken noodle soup is good. I like the Campbell's chicken noodle soup because it's bare bones. It's basic. It just has the noodles, the little chicken chunks, the broth. That's it. I love the Progresso one, though. I don't understand that maybe, okay, maybe it's supposed to give you sustenance when you're sick. It's supposed to eat. I don't know. It's supposed to eat it to keep down. But at the same time, it's hot. I don't want to put any more like hot into my body while I'm, you know, still boiling. Like my insides are just in a crock pot just bubbling, just boiling. I remember when I had COVID the first time, mom made me soup. That really helped out a lot. I prefer ramen noodles. Not in the soup. Not in like the broth. Not with the broth. Just with a little bit of water in them. And then the flavor packet, and then you mix it up. And then the flavor gets on the noodles, and then there's just a little bit of water at the bottom. That's about it. Keeps the noodles moist. So I don't know what I was sick with at this time. It was in winter. But I think it was strep throat, actually, when I had my strep throat. I got sick of ramen. Every time I thought about ramen, I would get sick. I got sick to my stomach. And I think it was because it was just drowning the soup. You're supposed to make ramen noodle soup. It's supposed to be broth around it. I just ate too much of it when I was sick, and it didn't really agree with me after that. Well, you had strep throat in the stomach. I don't know what you thought. You had strep throat in the stomach when you were in Nance's. No, I know that. When we were living on Fort Wright Street. Okay. Yeah. When I had my strep throat over there. Let me tell you. With strep throat, those antibiotics they give you, those are horse pills. Oh, yeah. Those are big pills. Taking out a strep throat, that sucks. With strep throat, even though your throat feels swollen, it's not really. Kind of. But it feels like your throat is just like you're being choked. Kind of. Instead of the hand being on the outside choking you, it's on the interior and just like squeezing your esophagus. We're getting a sidetrack here. We're supposed to be talking about remedies. Anyway, chicken noodle soup is a good, for me, chicken noodle soup is my go-to when it comes to meals for remedies. Remedy meals. DJ. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay, buddy. Now, this is one. This is a remedy that my stepdad put me on, put us on, I think. I'm pretty sure it was him who did it. The vicks on the bottom of your feet sucks when you have a bad fever. I haven't had a chance to try that yet. That was when I had another really bad fever. That was with the vicks on the bottom of your feet. It helps clear, like, your nose so you can breathe and stuff instead of putting it on your chest. The fever, you sweat the fever out faster if you're wearing, like, all your clothing in the bed and then on your feet. Because then your feet don't peek out of the blanket, and they're getting cold under the blanket. Yeah, they're now under the blanket, and they're now twice as warm, and you're sweating that out. That's my favorite remedy. That's how I felt better sooner over the break when I got, like, a sickness between Christmas and New Year's, that little week in between. Yeah. That's how I – and you were there for it. That's how I got better. Right. I didn't put vicks on, though. It was just socks. Vicks is nice. I have not had vicks in a long time. I could use it right now. I really could use it right now. I'm probably going to go home after this and use my Navage when I get back home. Because that has helped a lot. That's a good remedy. Just that's a good remedy. Oh, nasal irrigation. That is a very good – I haven't had to do nasal irrigation in a long time. I haven't done it in a long time. But I remember we used to do it with the neti pot. Neti pot is absolute garbage, but it got the job done. It is, but like you said, yeah, it did get the job done, and it did its purpose. True. What else? Vitamin C is obviously, you know, you need vitamin C. Don't get those emergency packets, though. Those taste terrible. Oh, my God. Those are absolutely atrocious. I might as well throw mine out. I still have them in the closet. Gatorade. Now, Gatorade, my father always said when we were sick, make sure you were getting, like, water and Gatorade because Gatorade has – with all the sweat you're doing, trying to sweat out your fever, you're losing electrolytes. So get a Gatorade. Get a Gatorade. Sip on that. Don't drink it. Sip on it. So I think that's a good advice, good remedy. True, but – It depends on what kind of sickness, though. On the same side of the coin, I rarely ever did get Gatorade when I was sick. It was like it was a 50-50 chance whether I got it or I didn't. Most of the time it wasn't, but sometimes it would be like, hey, you sick, do you need anything? Do you want me to get some Gatorade? Yeah, sure. Thank you. It was like I just kind of lay in bed with a water bottle or something and just – That's that. That's that. You got the water. Stay hydrated, bro. Good luck. Remember the BRAT diet? The what? That's a remedy for, like, stomach viruses, the BRAT diet. Oh, the BRAT diet, yeah. Just crackers and water? No, bananas, rice, apples, and – I didn't know it was an acronym. I thought it was just a – No, BRAT diet, bananas, rice, apples, and – Tea? I don't think it's tea. I forget what the T stands for. Well, the T could stand for a lot of things. The T could stand for a lot of things, but it stands for something very specific within this diet. Tylenol? Not Tylenol. Tamiflu? No. It'll come to me. Is it any type of medication? Is it a food? It's probably a food. It's not tomatoes. Toast? Toast, that's the one. Toast. Like, plain toast. What about it? Go ahead. You can continue. Like I said, it's one of those remedies for stomach viruses, and I think it's very helpful. I would say that was one of the least used remedies in the household. The only part that was really used about it was the tea because I know dang well we did not have – rice was not a staple in the household, so that already takes out the R. Apples and bananas, we didn't really have much fruit in the house. We would get the fruit at school and stuff and eat it there. So it's like that's knocked out. There was always bread, though, and it was a toaster. So there was always – if you were sick to your stomach, toast. Here's some toast. Toaster crackers. Here's some toaster crackers. Nibble on them so you don't shrivel up and die in the bed. Get some nutrients in you. You'll be fine. Don't die. You're good to go. Rank your top three, though, remedies right now. Chicken noodle soup. Okay. Sleep. Okay. Toast. Toast, number one, love toast when you're sick. It's a very underappreciated thing. NyQuil. NyQuil does not matter how sick I am, whether it's a big fever or not, NyQuil gets me through it. And then, yeah, that last one, NyQuil, just kind of goes hand-in-hand with sleep. Just kind of – the more you sleep, the less you have to suffer through what you're going through. It allows your body to heal properly. Of course. But those are some remedies. We should put up a social media so people can know if – know other people's remedies. But we'll be right back here on Double Take. Welcome back to Double Take. Well, that is all we have for you all today for this episode of Double Take, our little sickness episode. Hopefully everybody out there is staying healthy and staying well, taking care of yourselves. As we said at the top of the show, the back end of winter into spring, trying to decipher whether it's your allergies or you're actually sick. Weather's changing. Pollen's coming back. It's getting warmer. Everyone's going to be out of whack for a little bit. It's a blessing and a curse. Everybody's histamines are going to be out of whack. But, yeah, what are you going to do? Nothing that you can do. No, there's not really much you can do about it. But, you know. No, I don't know. You don't know. No, I know. Now, sickness happens as long as you're taking care of yourself. Do you get the flu shot yearly? Not really. I should get it this year. I haven't gotten it yet. I was going to get the flu shot this year on campus. Yeah. Then they ushered me into the room and lived next to me. They're like, okay, you want a flu shot? I'm like, yeah, sure, why not? Walk in there. They're like, okay, so we're going to charge like $15 to your student account. I'm like, give me a minute. Let me go to the Pollen Market really quick. Went to the Pollen Market, got a drink, never came back. Yeah. I will be caught. Oh, I will die before I pay for a flu shot. They only give that for free at the pharmacy. There's no point. You get it for free at Ryanair. You get it for free at CVS. You get it for free at, like, your local pharmacy. There's no reason you should be charging me, a student who's already paying this much money to be here, to get a vaccine that will protect the student body. Absolutely. I agree. It caught me off guard, and it just made me, it made me, it upset me. No, I feel that. Like, I was going to get the flu shot and stuff, but no. I never got the, she never got around to it, never got CVS. I don't think there's a point now. We're already nearing the end of flu season. No, there's really no point now. I'm caught up on everything I need. Yeah. Stuff like that. But anything else you'd like to add to the discourse? Not really. Just, you know, stay well, stay healthy, mentally and physically. That's all you can really hope to do is stay healthy. Stay healthy as we push into the warmer months. We're finally getting out of the woods in the winter. It's going to start being lighter for longer instead of it being this dark at about 8 o'clock-ish. Usually it'd be just getting this dark around this time, and now it's been this dark for like an hour. Yeah, we also have the pollen to worry about. Yeah, and that's going to be fun. That's going to be fun to deal with. Yeah, but other than that, you know, pollen's a good sign. Pollen means flowers. Pollen means things are brightening up again. Things are starting to get a little bit more happy around here. Absolutely. Turtles are going to start coming out soon when it starts getting warmer. Yeah. It's going to be good for the mental health. Yeah. Turtles are going to start coming back around. But for now, that's all we have on Doubletake for this week. Next week, we'll have some new stuff for you. That's all we got. I'm Caleb. I'm Dave. And this is Doubletake. This is WCC Radio, Coastal University Radio Station. Good night and shanta. Shanta.
