What is the main topic of this episode?
Oh, God. Hi, everybody. It's Chuck here. Oh, boy. My selection this week is How the Flu Works. And I'll give you one reason why. This is from November 14th, 2017. I hope you like it. I'm going back to bed.
Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio.
How can you tell the difference between a flu and a cold?
Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W. Chuck Bryant. There's Jerry. This is stuff you should know about the flu, which I have. You don't have the flu, do you? I don't know, man. I can't. I've been on the planet for 41 years. Okay. I still can't really tell the difference between a flu and a cold.
I think the difference that I can tell, and I don't get the flu much. You know, I always get the stomach bug, which, as it turns out, is not a flu. I just learned. But I don't get the flu flu much. But I can always tell, though, when I'm super achy. Like, the flu just makes me feel like dog doo-doo. Right. Whereas a cold is just a big inconvenience.
Yeah, I've had, no, I've definitely had like lots of aches and I woke up like shivering one night. Oh, so you had a fever for sure. I guess so. I guess it must have just been one night in the middle of the night. So that's the flu, right? Probably. So I guess I do have the flu. No joke, everybody.
Well, I'm erecting the clear glass in between us.
Yeah, I think that I've had it long enough now based on the research from this article that I'm not contagious or else I would have called this off. So did you get it in New York, I wonder? I think so. Yeah. Dirty, dirty New Yorkers.
Right, yeah.
Which I was like, I was just walking around like with my hands inside of a couple of like plastic Duane Reade bags. And it still didn't work. Well, that was your problem probably right there. Right. Duane Reade. Because I didn't take them off when I ate. Gross. Yeah. So, yes, we were in New York for some Bell House shows, right? Those went pretty well. Yeah. Yeah. Thought they were great.
