Speaker 1: International correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind

00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: for New Zealand Business, Dan Mitchinson, US correspondence with us

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Elo Dan.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: Hello, Heather.

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: You people get Pipper pig over there in the US.

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do.

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 3: I don't think it's as big as it is in

8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 3: other parts of the world in Europe, but I'm glad

9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: to see that the family has expanded by one.

10
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: Yeah.

11
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: No, you don't want it because it's like crack cocaine

12
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: for the kids. Like they stopped watching it after five

13
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: minutes and their eyes are spinning. It's not good at all.

14
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: There's much more, it's much more relaxing things they can watch.

15
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: Now.

16
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Explain something to me. How is it that Joe Biden

17
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: did not have at his age, did not have a

18
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: PSA for eleven years.

19
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: That's a good question, because I'll tell you this is

20
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: a very common type of cancer and it can grow

21
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: fast without people displaying symptoms. Ironically, I just came back

22
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: yesterday and had blood work done for my PSA test

23
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: because cancer runs in the family, and so I've been

24
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: told a few years ago that I need to have

25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 3: this tested more often and earlier in life. So it's

26
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 3: people in their forties and fifties, not seventies and eighties.

27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the questions. And we

28
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 3: heard President Trump say, you know, how is this let

29
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: you know, to go on for so long without him

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: checking about it? And he says, I think we need

31
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 3: to find out what happened. Well, do we really need

32
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: to know what happened? I mean, he's in his early eighties,

33
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: and you know it's his his his medical issue right now.

34
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 3: But that is that is something I think people are

35
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: curious about that he hasn't had this done since twenty fourteen.

36
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Hey, how's this news going down that the COVID jeb's

37
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: not going to be free for people anymore or for

38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: most people anyway.

39
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think everybody's trying to figure out what's going

40
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: on here and what they're trying to do. And you know,

41
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: we are seeing more cases of COVID back here, I

42
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: mean with colleagues and around the state right now in

43
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: the Food and Drug Administration and saying, okay, let's focus

44
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: more on older Americans now, those that are more at risk,

45
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 3: which will be sixty five and above and younger as well.

46
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,639
Speaker 3: So I think this is going to involve clinical trials

47
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: and it sounds like they're going to try to change

48
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: the direction for the FDA on how they decide their

49
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: recommendations at this point in time and not just sort

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: of give anybody and everybody these jabs. So they're saying

51
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: maybe one hundred million, maybe two hundred million Americans that

52
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: are considered a high risk are still going to have

53
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: access to the vaccines, but those that are younger may

54
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: have to go through a little bit more paperwork, or

55
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: maybe the doctor is going to have to ask a

56
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: few more questions before they just say right here, you go,

57
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: go take it fair enough?

58
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: Fine? Is that what you do with every other jab?

59
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: You do that with the flu jab, you do it

60
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: with all the other stuff.

61
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: I think it really is up to everybody.

62
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: I mean I never used to ever get the flu

63
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: jab until about four or five years ago, and it

64
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: just became so bad that I thought the flu was

65
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 3: actually worse than when I got COVID because it took

66
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: me three years to.

67
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Get That's why you thought it, Because.

68
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and it was.

69
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: I had to had the flu and I don't know

70
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: how long. But boy, once you get it, it's like shingles.

71
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: You don't want to get shingles. Again, so you go

72
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: and get the shingles vaccine.

73
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: Totally. I lay there when I had the flu one time.

74
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: I think I've only had it twice in my life,

75
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: but I lay there going, Oh, now, I understand why

76
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: people die from this. This is intense. Did you were

77
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: you a big fan of Cheese?

78
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 3: I was talking to your producer Laura. Yes, I am

79
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: a huge Cheers fan, and I was actually really emotional

80
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: when I heard about George went and what why do

81
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: we get like this when these are people that we

82
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: have never met in person, who we really don't have

83
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 3: any interaction.

84
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: With except through our television set.

85
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: But I mean he was in a lot of movies

86
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: and shows, but Cheers playing Norm is his, you know,

87
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: iconic role. I mean, here's here's one of the clips

88
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: from the show.

89
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I am no longer in the employ of Goldstein, Borman

90
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: and Kawa Karmie. I discovered that so called medical corporation

91
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: was a polite term for den of thieves. They're in

92
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: the business of cheating on taxes.

93
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so you resigned in protest?

94
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: Uh huh, Well, I took a long lunch in the canmy.

95
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: I mean, his his call. He was seventy six his

96
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: cause of death wasn't announced. They found him in bed apparently.

97
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: And this was a show that was kind of like

98
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: mash was over here. It took a couple of seasons

99
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: to get going, but then it was a appointment television.

100
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: And it just kills me that your your producer had

101
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: to rub it into me and say, oh, I was

102
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: only one year old when that show ended, So should

103
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: I go back and start watching it.

104
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, you should go back and start wo

105
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: how old you were?

106
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: Were you going to say something else about it?

107
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: No, I was just going to say it was.

108
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: It was just one of those shows that I think

109
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: really kind of brought the country together back before streaming

110
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: and everybody could just record something. You know, you had

111
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 3: to be there at nine o'clock on a Thursday night,

112
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: and then you talked about it the next day at work.

113
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: You know, on a Friday in the office.

114
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: And we don't have a lot of shows like that

115
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: anymore because everybody can watch what they want.

116
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: Nostalgia. Okay, even remember the time I went to all right, Dan,
