Hey, Jan.
Pete. Hi.
How’re you doing?
Can't complain.
Can't complain.

"Can't complain"は"Not bad"の意味。「まあまあです」
Listen, how’s your
mum
doing?
mum

「お母さん」は、アイルランド英語では、英英語と豪英語などと同様に"mum"が使われる。米英語とカナダ英語では"mom"が一般的。
Oh, thanks for asking. She’s doing much better.
The doctors said it was just a mild stroke.
She’s already out of the hospital.
I think it was kind of
a wake up call
for her.
a wake up call
:
"a wake up call"は重要な情報や状況に注意を向ける経験や出来事のこと。「警鐘/注意を引くもの」
I bet.
Pretty scary, isn’t it?
Yeah. Kind of hard to believe,
but we’ve learned a lot from all this.
I think she’ll be trying much harder to take better care of herself.
Right.
Yeah, it’s a good thing it wasn’t anything more serious.
Yeah. Hopefully she’ll be alright.
