FULL SHOW: DAY IN LOO 2026 (feat. Karl Urban, Wilson Dixon, Suzanne Paul & Jeremy Wells)

9:38Mike Minogue:So was it Dilly or was it someone else?

9:40Keyzie:It might have been someone else, actually. Oh, yeah. We don't know anyone's name. I was so engrossed in the task. Walking. that I can't remember who was actually with me, you know, taking it all on camera. It sounds like you might have been dreaming it.

9:53Mike Minogue:No. No, you did it in real life? Yeah, totally. It does sound like a yarn, Jase, and I do worry that if people find out we're yarning all the time. Especially for something as important as this. Totally, man. Like if you're going to lie, you know, about something like bowel cancer in New Zealand and raising funds, you know, what does that say about you?

10:09Keyzie:No, I'm just saying that this is what I'm... Because it's such a massively good course, obviously, that I want to do my little bit, you know, to contribute. And can I just say on that front, you know, I've made the donations, like, thousands of Kiwis across this great nation about. Can I check your phone? Can I check your texts? No, because you just go straight to my photos, you dirty bastard. No, pass me your phone. Let me check your text. And, you know, as I'm doing the stairs, and can I also add, before we did the broadcast this morning, Keezy and I, Mogi, I did the Outer Rim as well. And I must say, highly recommended.

10:43Keyzie:You fellas, I know you're a little bit squiffy about heights, but I reckon you give it a nudge. Again, you know, a lot of people here with cameras, they would have wanted to get that on social media. Anybody capture you walking around the outside of the Sky Tower, mate? Well, this is the terrible thing, because I don't know if you're aware of this, G Lane got his naked butt out, and old Beck got her, you know, she did a bit of a flash as well. And so the cameras were sidetracked by that action as Hoity J walked past. Right, and then you sprinted past them all. What about me? What about me?

11:14Mike Minogue:Yeah, right, okay. So no footage of you doing either of these two things, and you won't show me your phone to prove you did donate. I'll tell you what, the fact that you've said you've done half, I'm happy if you just do the other 25 floors, man. That's all good. We'll do that next hour. Really? Yeah, okay. Good on you, Hoody J. Don't forget, if you'd like to donate like Jase hasn't, text Lou to 3483. You get a donation link there. Plenty more big names in the TV world coming up, fellas, after this short break. Yeah, man. The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Kesey.

11:47Keyzie:Yes indeed, Nirvana there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this gloomy Thursday afternoon, live from atop the Sky Tower. We promised you superstars and man alive, do we have a superstar now. She is a legend of New Zealand television. I'm talking about the extraordinary, the vigorous Suzanne Poole. Suzanne How's Life Oh hello, hello Fabio Honestly I wondered who you were talking about then, what a lovely introduction When was the last time you were referred to Suzanne as vigorous? I've never been referred to as vigorous Are you joking? No, strange choice of words I mean vigorous in the sense of you've got so much energy I do have a lot of energy You could see it on the screen you're always full of life that's what I mean by vigorous You know what I'm saying?

12:40I know what you're saying, love.

12:41Keyzie:Now, Suzanne, this is a serious topic, obviously, bowel cancer. Yes. And health in general for men and for women. I mean, how are you on your health front? If there's something going on for you, are you a procrastinator? Or are you one of those people that says, I'm going to deal with it straight away? Because you strike me as a person that says, I'm going to deal with it straight away. I do deal with it straight away. I get, and like with the bowel cancer, you know, when you get that kit to come through, as soon as that's in the letterbox, I'm on the loo. That's it. Yeah, right. I'm doing the test.

13:15But touch wood, I'm very thankful that I am healthy. Yes. And I do, every day I thank God and the universe for my health and safety.

13:24Keyzie:Well, it's very easy, isn't it, to take it for granted. Yes. You know what I mean? You can do. But as I'm getting older, I see people, do you know how old I'll be this year? No, you don't. So I'll tell you, I shall be 70. You do. I know. No, no, no. You are joking. Are we having a party? Are we having a party? Oh, there's going to be a party, all right. So, as you can imagine, at my age, I am very thankful because I see other people around me of my age, you know. Yeah. Well, they're paying for the sins of their past, I'd imagine, Suzanne. Like, you take a hoity J over here, shocking bastard. Terrible some of the things that he got up to in his youth.

13:58And he's also a procrastinator, which means all of those things, he just refuses to go and deal with it. But you yourself, you don't strike me as you would have been. You wouldn't have been massively on the darts back in your day, would you? You're sort of just pretty clean living? A few darts. I've never... Yes, Suzanne Paul, the party. Back in the day, though, a few wines, a couple of darts, nothing wrong with it. That's right. But you've got to decide when the time is to give it up. I do like a glass of wine. I've got a glass of wine now. I'm not doing dry July. No. I can't be doing with it.

14:31I'll give the money, whatever money it is, but I'll keep the alcohol. Thank you very much. Don't see the point of that.

14:39Mike Minogue:Well, because just a similar topic, Jase, because I wouldn't have guessed that you were turning 70 soon, Suzanne. You look amazing. You truly do. Whereas Jase, you know, he's had a life of punching durries. Had a hard life, yes. He's actually 39. Actually, I wish I'd have thought, looking at you now, I could have bought you some of the natural help no you need more help than that love you need the puffy eye remover that's what I should have bought you the puffy eye remover

15:12Keyzie:Suzanne I gave you such a glowing amazing introduction and here you are denigrating me it's an outrage I've got a lot of faith in your product Suzanne but surely Jace is too far gone come on men Now, Suzanne, I understand you've got a podcast going on. Tell us about your podcast. I do. It's called Fork's Sake, you know, as in for fork's sake. Yeah. And me and Andrew Pappas is amazing. He's a great singer. You know, he was in a boy band called Titania. Titania, my favourite band.

15:48Mike Minogue:Oh, really? Yeah, we played them on Hodaki. Well, do you know, he was in the Ten Teners and he's been in stage shows. But he is also a foodie. He had a restaurant at one stage. So we talk to celebrities about food. Well, Jace is a keen foodie. He reviews restaurants from all around the city. And he's got an idea for a restaurant as well, toasted sandwiches.

16:09Keyzie:Yeah, yeah. I'm not going there with Suzanne Paul. No, I'm not a foodie. Are you not? No, he is, you see, and he cooks us something every week and we eat it. Oh, beautiful. With a celebrity guest. I take the wine. Yes. But no, I'm not a foodie at all. I'm quite happy. My secret recipe is actually a pie, right? So you buy steak and kidney pie, and then you make a jug of OXO, boiling water and OxyCub, and you pour it on the pie and mash it up. Oh, my God. Really? It's got some real Depression-era UK vibe about it there. It's real comforting. So Andrew cooks all this stuff up, and he'll put this layer on and that and the other, and I'm like, you know they sell them at Food Town.

16:58What a waste of time that is. Whatever. I don't know. I think you're thinking a big fridge. Oh, that's great. No, not a foodie. I'm happy with a piece of toast and a bar of chocolate.

17:11Mike Minogue:Nice, actually. I like that. I've only recently started to explore outside of, you know, your sausages and mash and things like that.

17:17Keyzie:You're a meat and three veg kind of fella, aren't you? Traditionally, but I'm getting better, Jase.

17:23Mike Minogue:I'm getting better. Well, Suzanne Paul, look, thank you so much for coming in and having a chat to us. I'm not going yet. I've only just got here. Well, you can stay if you want. Do you want to stick around for longer? It took me that hour and a half to get here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got gallons and gallons of wine out there, and we need your help to get through it. All right. Well, let's go to a tune then. We'll crack into that. Okay, shall we do that? We'll go to a tune, and we'll come back with more Suzanne Paul. Sounds good, mate. We'll get us some more wine, guys. Tune ACDC. The Horaki Big Show with Jace, Mike, and Keezy.

17:53Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

17:56Keyzie:Yes, indeed, the Stereophonics here on the Radio Hauraki. Big show this gloomy Thursday evening. For a day in lieu, we have a very, very special guest, though. I'm not inclined to be too generous after what she said about my facial features, but I am talking about the legend, the television legend that is Suzanne Paul. Suzanne, we've just been having some fascinating chats off air, actually. We have, haven't we? And Keezy was recalling when you first came to this country, you only had$18 to your name. I did. I know. Is that£18 or$18 New Zealand dollars? Pounds. Pounds would have been the GDP of New Zealand at that stage.

18:36But the exchange rate wasn't good. Right. And I booked a couple of weeks in a backpackers.

18:42Keyzie:Yes. And just got the newspaper and looked for a job. Can I ask, what was the motivation behind coming to New Zealand? well i'd been a couple of times before yes to be honest but it hadn't worked out and then i thought no i'll go again and give it another go so it was my third time yeah and um looking back i don't know i think i was very brave looking back i think my god i was so brave because i didn't you know i didn't have a job and didn't have any money and didn't have anywhere to live yeah um but was it if i'd have failed everybody said it was a foolish thing to do but because i succeeded everybody's it's a brave thing to do.

19:19But you don't know at the time which one it's going to be. It's brave by the way though, isn't it? You've just got to do it.

19:24Keyzie:I mean, to go to another country with only$18 to your name is pretty brave. I know. You strike me as a brave person. I am brave, yeah. And I just thought, well, it's amazing the jobs that you will do when you have to do them, you know? Well, the fellas just earlier in the day, they walked around the rim of the Sky Tower. Would you be prepared to do that today? Because you're brave. The sky walk, they call it. I mean, it's a bit wet out there, Suzanne, to be fair. It is a bit. But you know what? If I had to do it, you would do it, wouldn't you? Yeah.

19:51Mike Minogue:I'll give you$18. Oh, my crikey.

19:58Keyzie:Now, I understand too, Suzanne, because we're talking about your podcast, so that's going great guns, but you've also got a book coming out. Tell us a little bit about that. I do. So I've gone with a motivational sort of self-help book. Yes. Because I am on the speaker circuit, so I do a lot of motivational speaking. and people, yes, they want to know why did I come and how did I be successful, but to be honest, the main talk about it is because, you know, I was hugely successful and had millions and millions and then I lost it all and was made bankrupt. So what people really want to know is how do you pick yourself up from that?

20:32How do you start again? How do you make yourself do the things you don't really want to do, you know, when you'd rather stay in bed, you know, and cry and feel sorry for yourself?

20:41Keyzie:Yeah, fair enough. But I got up and did the things anyway. So it's about that. It's about you can't wait for motivation. You can't wait for inspiration. You can't wait until you feel ready because ready isn't a feeling. Ready is a decision. Yeah, and do you sort of find, was it a motivation for you, like as you say, to get to the point where you're bankrupt and you want to stay in bed all day, were you motivated by wanting to prove people wrong? Because it must have been a real sort of kick in the gut at that time. No, I just don't like being poor. I've been rich, I've been poor, and I thought, well, I know which one I prefer, so I'm not having it.

21:19So get back out there, you know, get yourself out of bed, get yourself back out there and start again.

21:25Mike Minogue:Suzanne Paul, have you ever, you've got your podcast now for Forks' Sake, which is the name of it, on iHeartRadio. Have you, you know, you've been in broadcasting for a while. Have you ever had a crack at radio, and would you be interested in doing radio? I did think about it. Yeah. I don't know because, dear, now I've found that I've got the podcast. You can say what you like, can't you? You can. There's nobody there. You don't have to be worried about being censored or saying the wrong thing. Well, you couldn't use any of the kind of language you're just using off-air, Suzanne.

21:58Keyzie:It's shocking, by the way. I mean, geez, far out, I mean. I mean, we have some chats off-air, Suzanne, but that was next level, I've got to be honest with you. I'm sorry, yeah. Holy moly. But you're right, actually, because, you know, a podcast, you've got a certain freedom. We do a podcast outside the radio show, and it can get a bit RA team. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Very RA team. We have to be a little bit more careful on the radio, obviously, the broadcasting standards. But I believe they're getting rid of those now. So who knows what's going to happen with our show? Because I think you'd fit in really well for three fellas here.

22:27I think so. Do you know what? Back in the day, my voice used to annoy people, so radio wasn't an option then. I think you've got a magnificent voice. Oh, do you? Absolutely. I think people have got used to it now. I've been here 35 years. At the time. People have got used to it, but at the time. You're right. It was a selling point, though, wasn't it? It was. It was like a trademark. It was. And do you know what? I didn't care. People either hated it or they loved it, but I used to think, I don't care as long as you buy the products. You could care less. Yeah, no fair. Well, we actually do a segment on our radio show called Meet Paddy Nips 69, and it's an advice slot.

23:03Long story. and given the fact that you've got this book out, Your Time Is Now, I reckon you'd be able to give some bloody good advice. We should get you in once a week to help us out with some advice. Give you a taste of radio. Give you access to a new audience. You get paid in affection, Suzanne. Jason over here is a massive hugger.

23:24Keyzie:Yeah, I'm such a physical kind of guy. He loves it. I'll tell you what we can get you, though. We can get you some snack-a-chang-y chips. Oh, yeah. A ring-a-chang-a-boucher. Are we a Reburger voucher every week? Can I ask you, do you already own a Backbone T-shirt? No, I don't. There you go.

23:40Mike Minogue:We'll get you a Backbone T-shirt, which is one of your favourite sayings. You kept saying it off air earlier. And we'll give you a pack of these cotton soft toilet rolls as well. Every week. Every single week. Oh, what are you saying? Far out.

23:54Keyzie:Suzanne, what an absolute joy it is to have you in here. Have you got any sort of final advice for people? because it is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, you know, re-health for the people out there that are maybe procrastinating, that are maybe mucking around with their health. What would you say to them, Suzanne? I would say I've got to the age I realise health is wealth. Don't matter how much money you've got now, does it, if you haven't got your health. And what happens as you get older, just when you get your head together, all your body falls apart. True that.

24:30Mike Minogue:Interesting. So just look after it and do all the tests you've got to do. Yeah, 100%. Suzanne Paul, thank you so much for coming in. Don't forget, she's got a podcast out right now for Forks' sake. Also a book coming out. Your time is now. And if you would like to donate to Day and Lou to the cause, text Lou to 3483. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at 4 on Radio Hauraki. The seat is wall and just look at that view. It's a beautiful day. It's the Radio Horaki Day in Lu. Raising loads of cash for bowel cancer New Zealand.

25:10Keyzie:Yes, indeed. So very nice to have your company on this Thursday afternoon. Hope you've been enjoying the broadcast throughout the day for a very, very good cause, fellas. That's right. Bowel Cancer New Zealand Month.

25:26Mike Minogue:Don't forget, text LU to 3483 if you'd like to make a donation and head to the dayinloo.co.nz for a list of symptoms. Yeah, absolutely. Be keen to get into it this hour, fellas. And actually, Bryn Rudkin's still with us here, and we can get your thoughts here as well, Bryn. Yes. Scrunch or fold? Scrunch or fold? You guys really do cover the hard issues on the show. We do. Which I appreciate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't answer, though. If you've got a bidet, you strike me as a bidet man. Do you know I went to Japan recently? Oh, yes. They've got things sorted over there, don't they? High pressure.

26:01Yeah. Oh, well, I did go for the high pressure.

26:03Keyzie:I'm just a little bit concerned that we may, you know, in terms of scrunch or fold, veer into Shat Chat again. Which we're not here to do. Oh, no, it's not. We're talking about the toilet paper. I don't want to talk about Shat. I'm more of a wet wipe myself. Oh, yeah. That's just gross, man.

26:18Mike Minogue:No, that's actually way better. Oh, is it? Like if a bird pooed on your arm, Jase.

26:22Keyzie:Yeah, well, then, I mean, if another creature craps on me, Oh, okay, sorry.

26:27Mike Minogue:If a human poos on your arm, Jase, would you wipe it off with a dry paper towel or a wet wipe?

26:32Keyzie:I'd just leave it.

26:33Mike Minogue:Yeah. Right, okay. Well, I don't know what to do with you then. Brad Rudkin, thank you so much for reading the news live on our show. Really good. It's good to be here. Good stuff. Should I do the traffic while I'm up here? There's a lot. Oh, yeah. Go on, then. From out the window there. Well, I can't see the Harbour Bridge, but it looks busy. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that's how you do traffic. That's what I'm talking about, man. We got a Weezer next, Bryn. Would you like to throw to Weezer? Oh, yeah. Yeah, coming up, we've got Ed Sheeran, did you say? No, no, no. Incubus after some Weezer. Weezer on Hauraki.

27:08Mike Minogue:Boom. You nailed it. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki.

27:18Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Incubus there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show this gloomy, wet Thursday afternoon, live from atop the Sky Tower. And the stars keep on coming, fellas.

27:30Mike Minogue:They certainly do, Jase. Before we go to our next TV star, just like to remind everyone that we're here raising funds for Bowel Cancer New Zealand and to text Lou to 3483.

27:38Keyzie:Bloody Oats. Now, we just had the amazing Suzanne Paul. God, how good was she, fellas? Oh, my God.

27:45Mike Minogue:She is an icon, isn't she?

27:46Keyzie:Can I say that she is an absolute smoke show? Yeah, totally, man. I nearly said it live on air, actually. Yeah. And she was 70.

27:55Mike Minogue:69, actually.

27:58Keyzie:Well, don't pause after that. It makes it awkward. Well, no, I'm just saying, man. She's turning 70. She is in excellent shape. Yes. And obviously takes care of her health. Yes. And she told me afterwards affectionately that I had a very well-lived-in face. Yeah. All right? That I wasn't an ugly beast. I tell you, our next guest certainly isn't an ugly beast. He's a stallion. We're talking about TV superstar, the one and only Jeremy Wells. G'day, Jezza. How's life? Jase, what a generous, kind intro that was. What did she say? You had a well-lived-in face. Yes. She's the second person that said that to me in my life.

28:37Keyzie:I got interviewed for a magazine once, and she described my face as well-lived-in. Yeah. I've never heard anyone's face described as well-lived-in before. So when you've lived in a face well, does that mean that you've looked after your face? No, I don't know. Does that mean that you've spent a lot of time in it and you've really pushed the boundaries in it? It's time for a renovation. It's a face that I'm not going to get my bond back. You know what I'm saying? But TV's... It's a face you'd find on Castle Street. Yes. A number of students have lived in it over the years. Totally. And it's not insulated.

29:19Yeah, exactly.

29:20Mike Minogue:But just moving on from Jase's face, if we could, TV's Jeremy Wells. I mean, you've known to dabble in a bit of television and radio as well. How do you find the time to do it all, man? It's not easy, Keezy. I mean, just moments ago I was doing a promo down in the TVNZ building, which is just a stone's throw from where we're broadcasting from here. In fact, you could spit on it if you just could lean out the window here, but the windows are actually pretty silent. You can't open them. You can't open them. No. So I was down there. I mean, you find time, Kesey. Yeah. And you'll find this as you get a bit older.

29:58Yes. That you've just got to start, you take in every moment you possibly can because life's so short. Right. Wise words, mate. So there's no better thing to do with your time than work. Yeah, I've got a question for you, Drew. There's been a lot of chat this day and age about the death of investigative journalism and yet Seven Sharp is there every single day asking the hard questions. What's on the show tonight, mate? I'm so pleased, certainly, that you've understood that Seven Sharp is asking the hard questions because earlier on we were asking the hard questions of a Massey University money person around the new banking changes that are coming in.

30:33I'm not sure if you guys are aware of the new banking changes. Checkbooks obviously have gone. A lot of our audience don't realise that, but checkbooks have gone. They've been gone for some years. And the next thing to go, believe it or not, numbers on your cards. Yes.

30:48Mike Minogue:Wow, what do you mean numbers on your cards? No numbers. So it'll just be a card? Yep. What do you type in when you're buying something online? Exactly, Kesey. And tune into 7Sharp tonight to find out.

31:01Keyzie:I don't want to give it away. We're not going to have a scanning scenario, are we? We have to do your scanning with your phone and stuff. Now, this is exactly the kind of reaction you're looking for, Jerry. Your boomer exploding. He sees the promo. He's tuning in. and he needs to know what's going on. He's fuming. Well, I'm with you, Moggy. I believe Seven Sharp has their finger on the veiny pulse of the nation.

31:21Mike Minogue:Well, they're going to blow this card story wide open, aren't they? Totally. And ask the hard questions. Well, no one else is doing it. Yeah. I mean, there's probably a reason for that. Yeah, because the project got cancelled. Show me the other investigative television journalists out there. Tell me, what are the programs? What is the key to Seven Sharp's longevity, man? Because I can't figure it out. audience, audience, audience that's right something you don't understand yet six or seven hundred thousand every single night, Jerry one day you'll understand delivering for the audience look at what do the audience want right listen to the audience and then ignore them and then give them any old shit they vote with their remotes right and then when they like something

32:00Keyzie:we just give them more of it yeah and I think the reason Kesey's asking that question he had a league show and I mean it's this was five years ago four years ago It's fair to say that it didn't, in terms of longevity, Fikizi go for a long time. I got sacked and then it got cancelled. Well, I got another season. It did very well. What's the numbers? What numbers are we talking about?

32:21Mike Minogue:Oh, nah. Give us some numbers. Oh, nah, nah, nah. Throw some numbers. How did it go on the household shoppers? I'd say, well, the problem was it was behind it. With kids, 0 to 14. It was behind a paywall. It was behind a paywall. Right. And behind that paywall on Sky there, and then it was also aimed at sort of Māori and Pasifika as well. And so, like, the numbers at that time weren't very high, Jerry. He's notoriously underrepresented in the AC Nielsen stats. That's correct. A hundred percent. That's what I said on my way out of the building. But enough about my show, which has been cancelled, has been talked about more on this radio station than any other show.

32:52Mike Minogue:We've got TV's Jeremy Wells here, fellas. I feel like we should ask him some more advice around TV and how to... I think we've covered it off. Yeah, have we? I feel like we've talked more than enough, to be honest. Yeah, I mean... I'd like to get you back, though. I'd like to get you back for more chat. Sure. Can you stick around for another break? Absolutely. Excellent. All right, well, let's go to some Oasis then. Oh, okay, why not? And we'll be back soon with more Jerry. The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Casey.

33:21Keyzie:Oasis there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this wet and gloomy Thursday evening on top of the Sky Tower for a day in lieu, fellas.

33:32Mike Minogue:Yep, raising funds for bowel cancer awareness month. You can donate by texting Lou to 3483. Fellas, we've got the incredible, well, TV's Jeremy Wells in here with us. And, Jerry, as you'll know, we're fundraising for awareness around bowel cancer. Have you had any experience with bowel cancer, either yourself or anybody else? And how do you go, the second part of the question, with getting yourself checked up when you know there's something not quite right downstairs? years. Okay, well let's address this in two parts obviously, Mogey. The first part is, yes, some family bowel cancer. My great uncle, Uncle Nug had bowel cancer.

34:14He's no longer with us. That was in the late 80s, early 90s. That was my first introduction. He ended up with a colostomy bag. See, he went in quite late with a diagnosis. How old was he, do you know? He was in his early 80s when he was diagnosed with that. And he He was a stoic unit. Well, they were that. From the All Black generation, weren't they? He was particularly, he was in the war, he was in All Black, he was a... A hard bastard. Do you think he'd refer to himself as a backbone? He was a backbone, all right. He was a backbone. He worked for the National Bank back in the day. Great bank.

34:55Always was with the National Bank from the moment that he started working and sure the day he died. Well, of course, they had the horse as the emblem, and that's a stoic emblem for a bank. Precisely. And just confirming his name was Uncle Nug. His name was Uncle Nug. He had Uncle Nug written on his checkbook. John Wells was his name. Why did they call him Nug? Nugget was his nickname, so Nug was short for Nugget. Was he quite a squat and sort of stumpy? He was a number six. Oh, number six, okay, yeah, yeah. He would have been about, I reckon, just under six foot maybe, but huge hands, hands like spades.

35:35Did you ever get your hands on his colostomy bag? Because they're an interesting point of difference for a young fella. No, I didn't, but I do remember the smell. And sitting at Christmas dinner, Christmas lunch over the years, there's also some noises that would emit from that. And that was a good reminder as a young man that you've got to stay on your own health. You've got to be on to it. There's no point in being stoic when it comes to your own health. It's silly. So you do need to check. Back to your point, Moggy. It's important to stay on the symptoms that you're looking out for, of course.

36:14You're looking for any tiredness, any dramatic changes in your movements, in your stools, in the consistency. Blood in the stool. Blood in the stool. Any pain, abdominal pain, or any lumps as well in your stomach.

36:30Mike Minogue:And we've got TV's Jeremy Wells with us. Jeremy, how's your backdoor? Yes. It's good, thanks, Kesey. I mean, it was funny because as I did my morning ablution this morning, obviously I knew I was coming to do a five-hour broadcast talking about bowel health. And so it's front and centre of your mind in that situation. So I'm pleased to report this morning there was no blood in my stool or on the toilet paper either. Has there ever been a need to have any health professional or otherwise rummage around back there? No, there was. I had a prostate check a while ago with Dr. Tom. May he rest in peace.

37:09No longer with us, but a lovely man, Dr. Tom. But no, I haven't. But I probably should because I'm 49. Yeah, you're getting on. And so now is probably the time, probably in the next couple of years, so I'll be no doubt going and checking in for a colonoscopy. A couple of years, I think that's too long, Jerry.

37:28Mike Minogue:Today's all about now. We need to get on to this now. Why don't we do it right here, right now? Well, I think if you don't have any symptoms, Kesey, and I don't have any of those symptoms. Well, you've got family history. That's what's concerning me, I'll be honest. There is a bit of family history, and as soon as I experience any of those symptoms, I will be straight down to my GP. Okay, good. out about that. Yeah, good stuff, mate. Don't you worry about that. Good, good. What's your view on Broken Wood Mysteries, Jerry? Because that's also on TVNZ1, which is where you spend a lot of time. Huge fan of Broken Wood Mysteries.

37:56I've got a lot of respect for Broken Wood Mysteries. Obviously, sells overseas. One of the great successes... Like a crazy buzz. It does. Probably, you would say now, New Zealand's greatest dramatic televisual success story. Isn't that amazing?

38:11Mike Minogue:Yeah, it is. Because how many countries around the world, Jase? Because Jase is a part of it for those listening.

38:15Keyzie:Seriously, I think it's 140.

38:17Mike Minogue:Wow.

38:18Keyzie:It sells to 140 countries. Yeah. That's unbelievable. Absolutely goes like the Clippers. So there you go. It's our greatest thematic expert. I think it's our greatest. How many seasons? Nice. Twelve, yeah.

38:29Mike Minogue:Yeah. Yeah. That is amazing. That's a cash count. Really, really good.

38:32Keyzie:Moo, moo. Well, listen, Jeremy, thanks very much, mate, and thanks for passing on the message to all the backbones out there and the importance of your health. Any final words for the listeners out there, Jerry, to inspire them to action? Look, if you can text Lou to 3483 and head there, follow the link and donate. Look, any amount is appreciated. You can also go to dayandlou.co.nz and check out the online symptom checker. This is an important issue. It's obviously something that affects a lot of New Zealanders. We're overrepresented in these statistics. And it's something that if we get onto it early, you can prevent things from getting a lot worse.

39:12So ultimately, you're your own health advocate. It's up to you. And I think the message out there is don't be shy. If there's anything wrong, get it checked out.

39:21Mike Minogue:Good on you, mate. Thanks, Gerry. And just stoked to hear about your backdoor, mate. That's great. The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Casey.

39:30Keyzie:Yes, indeed. Push, push there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this rather manky Thursday evening atop the Sky Tower for a day in lieu, raising awareness for bowel cancer New Zealand.

39:42Mike Minogue:That's right, Jase. We've been here for almost 12 hours. Yeah, man. We are almost at the finishing point of a day in Lou, which is, of course, raising funds and awareness for bowel cancer in New Zealand. A big shout out to everyone that's text Lou to 3483 and made donations. That'll stay open for a while, so keep on texting.

39:58Keyzie:I believe, fellas, we're really close to topping$3 million.

40:02Mike Minogue:$3 million.

40:03Keyzie:$3 million. Be the person to top it into the$3 million zone. Go on, do it right now, New Zealand. We've had a whole list of stars come through. Oh, my God. We've had Suzanne Paul, or as Jace calls her, Old Suzanne. That wasn't very nice. Jeremy Wells, Wilson Dixon are now on the line, and he'll be able to clear this up for us really quickly, is Carl Urban. How are you going, Carl? Oh, g'day, fellas. How are you doing there? Yeah, very well. Thanks, Carl, you massive stallion. I tell you what, mate. We've had some stars on today, but you truly are, in all senses of the word, a superstar. You're loved around the world and in New Zealand, but I understand you're a little bit under the weather at the moment.

40:49Mate, yeah, I just caught a little lurgy. The missus is a schoolteacher, and she brings home all the good stuff that all the cool kids have. So, yeah, it's just going through a bit of that at the moment, but, you know, it's all good.

41:04Keyzie:I tell you what, Carl, with the kids at school or in nurseries or whatever, It's like a potpourri of disease. You know what I mean? If you want to get a super immune system, go and hang out in a school for a while, get all the diseases you can. Sorry, you can't just go hang out in school, Jase. Yeah, no, actually that sounds really dodgy, doesn't it? Yeah, yeah. Just go lick the door handles and, yeah, it's all good. But apparently after two years, then you don't get sick, but you've got to get through the first two years. Do you mean the first two years of your kid being in school or the first two years of this relationship with your girlfriend?

41:40Yeah, I'm not quite sure either. We'll move on to the next one then. I'll let you know, Matt. We've had a bit of a chat gun on in here, mate, and this is probably something you've been asked a billion times, but we'll ask it one more time anyway. And that is around your name. Everybody has been calling you Carl Urban. We have been. Gerry and Matt on Breakfast always have. And we understand it's actually urban. Which is it, and why did it ever go wrong? That is a very good question, actually. It is just Carl Urban, for the record. But over in Europe, which is where half of my family originated from, it's pronounced the other way.

42:19So I just say it the way it looks.

42:23Keyzie:Yeah, totally. Well, I guess with the Urban, it gives it a certain je ne suis quoi, doesn't it? It gives it a certain sophistication there, Carl. It does, but you don't want to be one of those fellas that, you know, his name is Ralph, but you say, no, no, it's Rafe. Yeah, yeah.

42:43Mike Minogue:Not pointing the fingers anywhere. 100%. Carl Urban, g'day, man. It's Keezy here. How are you today? Oh, mate, as we've discussed, I'm peachy, mate. Absolutely peachy. Just sort of panicked there and asked a random question. Carl Urban, we're obviously here raising awareness and funds for bowel cancer in New Zealand. How's your backdoor at the moment? Funny you should ask that. It's actually all good at the moment. Oh, okay, great. It's not something we generally talk about us fellas, but it's super important to do so, and it's super important to normalise it with your mates. And I've been doing this lately with mine because not too long ago, I actually, on my own initiative, went and got a colonoscopy and came flu with flying colours.

43:29I'm happy to report. But, you know, it was just a simple thing to do, and it's so important, if you can, just go and get a check-up, talk about it with your mates, go and get them to get a check-up. And you know what? We want to be around for the busies in years to come, don't we, fellas?

43:46Keyzie:Yeah, totally, mate. That's a great message. There's nothing sort of run-of-the-mill about my backdoor, I'll tell you that much. Well, should I say normalising it? But it's a very...

43:58Mike Minogue:But we can talk about it at length.

43:59Keyzie:Yeah, I mean, that's what I mean. But, you know, we can talk about it, but it's a great message you just gave us there, mate. Yeah, well, you know, and I didn't stop there because, you know, I've just hit, let's just say, call it 40 in GST. Yes. And I've just thought, you know what, because the health system in New Zealand is great, but I find like you have to be proactive, you know what I mean? You have to go to your doctor and say, you know what, I think I need to do this, this, and this. Can we get this test? Can we get that? So I've just had a whole raft of stuff done. I had sort of my calcium score done on my heart, had the prostate checked, I had the colonoscopy, and it's just like, you know what, I feel like, get it done and give yourself a bit of peace of mind.

44:43And I actually had a mate recently who had a scan done on his heart and found a high calcium score. So, you know, these things are treatable. You've just got to be proactive. You've got to get in there quick.

44:54Mike Minogue:We've got actor Carl Urban on the line with us. And, Carl, once you did go and get all those tests done, mate, you said a bit more peace of mind, but it must be really great having a stamp, a bill of good health handed to you for the next couple of years so you can just go, sweet, that's one less thing to worry about. You can go out and get maggoted. Yeah. Well, this is it. And that gives you license to go out and double the beersies, double the pies. I will have cheese on that, thank you very much. You know what I mean? Yes. 100%.

45:22Keyzie:Yeah, very good. Hey, Carl, thanks so much for joining us, mate. I hope you get through this flu or whatever the luge is. And we appreciate your time, you backbone. Always good to talk to you fellas. Wish you guys the best. Wish I was up there with you. Yeah, yeah. Good on you, Carl. See you soon, mate. See you soon, Carl.

45:41Mike Minogue:And a big round of applause to every single person here at Radio Hauraki that has been involved with the day in lieu. We've been broadcasting, as of right now, 10 seconds ago, for 12 straight hours, raising funds, raising awareness for Bowel Cancer New Zealand. If you are listening right now, don't be afraid to get that phone out. Text Lou to 3483 to donate. Also go to dayinlou.co.nz. Look at the symptom list there. Get yourself checked, because if you catch this thing early, it is very, very treatable, eh, fellas?

46:09Keyzie:Yeah, good stuff. Thanks, mate. Backbone. The Hauraki Big Show with Jace, Mike and Keezy. Tune in weekdays at four on Radio Hauraki. Yeah, welcome back, you massive backbones. Hope your Thursday's going off. You are, in fact, listening to The Big Show, brought to you by Reburger.

46:27Mike Minogue:Yeah, crave with your street food, freshly made with Reburger. And that's Day and Lou done and dusted, fellas.

46:33Keyzie:Yeah, man.

46:35Mike Minogue:Day and Lou done and dusted. What was the final tally on the cash raised, Jace?

46:39Keyzie:I think it was about$3.8 million. Wow. Yeah. But I don't want people to stop there. No, no. I want to crack$10 million. $10 million.

46:47Mike Minogue:Yeah, totally, man. But we've stopped now. Well, the donation link's still running. Yeah, that's what I mean.

46:52Keyzie:Donations don't have to stop, man.

46:54Mike Minogue:Right, 3483, text the word Lou. Of course, we've still got to look forward to. Jase is going to be walking all the way down the Sky Tower, all 51 floors, 1 ,100 stairs. Jase has made this commitment some weeks ago, and he is going to back. He would not lie about something so important.

47:11Keyzie:Bloody oats, man, bloody oats.

47:12Mike Minogue:What are you thinking?

47:13Keyzie:What about?

47:14Mike Minogue:Well, like, what are you thinking for the big walk? Because it's huge. Oh, mate. And we actually just heard from someone that worked here that the last time someone walked all the way down, they had to have two days off work. Yeah, yeah.

47:25Keyzie:Well, that's what I'm banking on. Having two days off? Yeah, well, I mean, if I'm walking all the way down there, I want two days off work. Is that the deal? Yeah, sure. Okay, you're on.

47:34Mike Minogue:Tomorrow's Friday.

47:35Keyzie:Yeah, and I'll have the Monday as well. Oh, okay, yeah.

47:37Mike Minogue:Oh, okay.

47:38Keyzie:So it's suddenly turned into a long weekend for Hoody J.

47:42Mike Minogue:And just because a day in lieu is finished doesn't mean the big show is finished. We've still got another hour of quality content, eh, fellas? Oh, my God. It's only going to get better from here, I tell you what. And also we've got great tunes coming up as well, as is our want on Radio Hauraki.

47:55Keyzie:Yeah, you mean like Queen to the Stone Age. Sure do.

47:59Mike Minogue:Oh, this is Stone Temple Pilots. Should we do that instead? Yeah. Do not know any of the bands. They're a better band. The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Kesey.

48:12Keyzie:Supergrass there on the Radio Hauraki Big Show. This Thursday evening you're listening to The Big Show.

48:18Mike Minogue:Nice, but it's super grass there, fellas. It's all keasy over there, eh? Hey, listen, I had a vivid dream last night. Oh, yeah? I had that dream as well the other night. You remember that one? Yeah, that was a different one. That was your cat told you that your wife was cheating on you. Yeah, and then I woke up and I confronted her about it, and she said she wasn't cheating on me. You quite aggressively confronted her about it. And I still don't know who to believe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, fair, fair.

48:44Keyzie:Animals don't lie, Moggy.

48:46Mike Minogue:I had a vivid dream last night on the back of that. And I think, to be honest, it was brought on by a couple of things. Obviously, Jase's new boots. Oh, yeah. Which, for those who aren't listening, just picture the most heinous pair of boots you've ever seen in your life. Yeah. Then colour them in beige. Yeah. And then design them for a woman. And then put a hoody J in them. So those are the boots that Jase has just purchased.

49:11Keyzie:Love them.

49:11Mike Minogue:And you love them, Jase, don't you?

49:13Keyzie:Absolutely, man. and I'm proud as punch.

49:16Mike Minogue:Like, you're not wearing them today, and I suspect they're slowly going to get phased out.

49:19Keyzie:No, as I say, they're just in and out of the rotation. I don't wear the same boot every day, Keezy.

49:24Mike Minogue:It's kind of funny, because you kind of did before these boots came along. But anyway, so we had a dream, and we finally went to your hot pot restaurant, Jase. Because you know how you desperately, like, you love hot pot.

49:35Keyzie:Yeah, I do.

49:35Mike Minogue:What'd you have for dinner last night?

49:36Keyzie:Hot pot.

49:38Mike Minogue:There's a restaurant near Jase's house which does an amazing hot pot. Do you cook it yourself?

49:42Keyzie:No, no. You get all the ingredients in a bowl there, then you choose the sort of soup, or you can have it dry. You can have it dry, but I always go for the spicy hot pot home sort of special. That's right.

49:57Mike Minogue:It's got wontons and prawns in there. I can just see you there just scoffing your little face, just clicking the heels on your boots together, just happy as a little sandboard.

50:04Keyzie:Oh, mate. I totally am.

50:06Mike Minogue:They're about a foot off the ground just swinging backwards and forwards on your seat while you eat. no and this is a very vivid dream we all went to Hoity J's Hot Pot restaurant it was the four of us so Pug San was there as well and we went in you kind of showed us around first of all shithole in my dream like it was terrible I couldn't believe it

50:26Keyzie:this place is immaculate

50:27Mike Minogue:there was like three of these kind of like slow cooker things filled with broth and we like got a ladle of that and then went along and then someone just dropped the thing of instant noodles in there and then sprinkled some like frozen peas and carrots and stuff into it and you were like, beautiful, eh, Keezy? And sat down. And then as I was eating, I was like, this is the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my life. Were you trying to be polite, though? Because you would want Jase to be happy. 100%. I wanted to, you know me, I like to support Jase in everything I do. But what I realized was, because I looked over at you, I was like, Jase, this isn't as good as I thought it would be.

50:59Mike Minogue:And you were like, yeah, but Keezy, I love it. Like, I love it. Oh. You know what I mean? And you, Moggy, you were struggling to eat it, and Pugs was hating it. Yeah. And then I realised that the hot pot was actually a metaphor for Jase's new boots. Yeah. And I woke with a start, and I was like, hey, maybe I should apologise because it's not about what we and the rest of New Zealand thinks of your boots, Jase. It's what you think about them.

51:24Keyzie:Yeah, totally, man. So did you wake up all sweaty, did you, from your dream? What time was that? I was pretty sweaty. Yeah, yeah. It was about 11.59.

51:32Mike Minogue:Why is that?

51:35Keyzie:Why is that? Oh, no, I just wondered if you immediately. because I tell you what, after my hot pot last night, I had a hell of a midnight steamer. Right, did you? Yeah, I did. But look, and I'll be honest with you, fellas, in all sincerity, I got a message from my mate on Messenger and he said, Jase, listen, mate, this is how you deal with the boot situation. You go to the guys that fix up your shoes. What do you call those? A cobbler. A cobbler. And you can get dyes for your, you know, and probably you'll need a dye for each boot. It looks like a very resistant boot. You'll need a couple of dyes.

52:09Keyzie:Yeah, and he said it's a lot of fun to do. And I was like, you know what, mate? I'm all good with my boots. I'm fine with them. I feel special and alive when I put those boots on.

52:22Mike Minogue:100%. So I just want to say I'm sorry, and I won't be making fun of your boots from now on. Okay, cool. Because as long as you love them, that's all that counts.

52:29Keyzie:Thanks, Gizy. Now I, on the other hand... The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Casey. Cool jam there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show this Thursday evening. And, you know, fellas, there's been a lot of chat about my boots and that's all well and good. Yeah, your new boots. My new boots. And I get that they're a bit out there. And it's made me sort of look at myself in a different way. You know what I mean? And fashion-wise, I'm getting older. You know, I can't pull off. the sort of young, hip, cool guy that I used to back in the day.

53:06Mike Minogue:You used to pull off a young, cool guy.

53:09Keyzie:No, you know what I'm saying is back in the day I used to be... I think I did. I was pretty styly, you know what I mean? Right, so you look cool while doing it. As you get older, of course, styles change. And last night after we came back, incidentally, from the hot pot with my beautiful wife, and we were walking along Aotea Square there and my wife took a selfie of us.

53:31Mike Minogue:Lovely selfie, by the way.

53:33Keyzie:Under the lights that are there at the moment, maybe there's a beautiful sort of tunnel of stars. And I was looking at that and going, that's a lovely photo. And then I sort of looked at it again and I was like, why am I always wearing a hat? You know what I mean? I've always got a cap on. And as you've said to me, I've got a luxurious mane of hair. Great hair to hair, Jase. Why do I keep covering it up all the time? I don't know. So I've come to the point now where I've made a sort of fashion decision, I guess you'd say, a lifestyle change. I'm not going to wear the hat anymore. Okay. Great.

54:06Mike Minogue:Because you never used to wear that hat. No. Because I think you got obsessed with a Reburger hat back in the day.

54:12Keyzie:Well, to be honest with you, I've worn hats all my life. And I think a part of it is just sort of covering up my face, you know, and hiding a little bit. Why? And I think it's time. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Are you going to go with a mask instead, like one of those sort of COVID-y masks? Yeah, I thought, because I tell you what, that's very cool on the streets, Moji. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You see people all the time on their, like, lime scooters with masks on and stuff. It's kind of cool.

54:36Mike Minogue:You know what would work well for Jase is, probably you too, actually, Moji, is like a plague doctor mask. Plague doctor. The ones that had, like, the really long sort of beak thing on the front of it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

54:47Keyzie:Oh, yeah, because we've got massive snowsers. Massive honkers. Oh, my God, I didn't even think of that.

54:51Mike Minogue:Nah, yeah. So, Jase, in all seriousness, man, if I could just get serious for a second here. I think you should wear less hats.

54:58Keyzie:Yeah, okay.

54:59Mike Minogue:Because you do have beautiful hair.

55:00Keyzie:Because I've also got a bald patch because of my hat. It's at the back of my head here. Oh, that's not because of the hats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that's been going on for a while. Oh, has it? Actually, yeah, you should think about wearing hats. The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Kesey. Muse there on the radio. Hauraki Big Show. Sorry, fellas. I just stuffed my face with a bit of... I don't know what it is, a sort of peach and cream muffin. Oh, yeah, right. You can see anything that's close to you. Yeah, well, I'm just sort of shoving it in my mouth, Mogi. Fair enough, mate.

55:34Hey, fellas, just while we're on the subject, we had a big day today, haven't we, raising awareness for bowel cancer. Huge day, as you say, Jace raised$3.4 million. Oh, is it dropped? It was 3.8 earlier. Yeah, well, some people wanted to get a refund. They'd accidentally pushed it twice. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't want to steal off people. Yeah, fair enough. But just in terms of getting yourself checked up, and we've talked ad nauseum, Jase, about you being a little bit reluctant. I probably go to the doctor too often. Anything's wrong and I'm down there. But I think the place where that came from is probably my father.

56:06Yes. Now, my father, he was like you, Jase. Taller, obviously. He didn't wear a woman's boots. But there were similarities. No comment.

56:16Mike Minogue:No comment from Keezy on that one. Although, well done, Mogi. but there were some similarities in the sense that he didn't like no matter how sick he got to go along to the doctor to get it checked out yeah sure um one of the occasions uh that he did go along there well he didn't go his wife was really pressuring him to get along because he had blood not in his stool which can be a symptom casey as you know of bowel cancer yeah yeah but blood in his urine. And he made his wife aware of this. He was a little bit sus on it. She said, well, you've got to go to the doctor. Oh, no. And he sort of procrastinated, delayed, delayed, delayed.

56:57Eventually was persuaded to go along, and he spoke to his doctor, his GP. This is a true story. And his GP said, well, how long has this been going on for? And he said, probably three to four weeks. The doctor said, oh, don't worry about it. It happens to me all the time. Normally stops at around about the six to eight week mark.

57:14Mike Minogue:Oh my goodness. So he went home cock-a-hoop. He's thinking to himself, I've got some great advice here from my local GP. He went home and told his missus, I just have to wait this out.

57:25Keyzie:Yeah. And she decided that it was time to change GPs. So there's medical advice, but then there's also a gut feeling. Yes. Now, if you do come across a GP that's telling you things that you're, I don't know, don't be afraid to get a second opinion.

57:40Mike Minogue:And also on the bowel cancer too, which is what Day and Lou, which we've been doing today. If you go to BowelCancer... Their actual... What's... BowelCancer... Dot com. We just go to... BowelCancerNewZealand? Yeah. If you go to their website. I was just trying to make sure I get that right. Yeah, you want to get it right. The information you can get on there. You can also get yourself one of those home tests... Yes. ...delivered to your house. That's right. So if you go to the doctor because you've got blood in your stool or any of the other symptoms, you can actually chat to your GP. If they say, no, you're fine.

58:09Mike Minogue:If you want to be extra careful... Yes. ...order one of those tests and do it at home. Yeah. Bloody good advice, that. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it can be a scary sort of a thing. But, yeah, there's nothing worse, I think, than not getting checked. Because for me, when I get something that happens to me, I prefer just to know one way or the other. Yes. One way or the other, just tell me what's going on and we can sort it out. It's the not knowing, Jase. Yeah, yeah. The not knowing. That's what gets me.

58:36Keyzie:Yeah. Yeah, fair enough, too, Mogi. Bloody good point. The Hauraki Big Show with Jason Hoyt, Mike Minogue and Casey.

58:53Keyzie:Well there you go you mad bastards. That's the Big Show done and dusted on this. It's been an epic day fellas hasn't it? An epic day.

59:00Mike Minogue:Certainly has Jase. Just the feeling that we've been raising awareness, raising funds about Cancer New Zealand. It feels good. It's one of the tent poles of what we do here at Hodak every single year, and that feels like our best one yet. 100%. From the top of the Sky Tower, I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

59:15Keyzie:And I got to wear the Sky Tower hat again. Can I just say, it looks like it was made for you. I can't help but agree, Mo. Be honest with you, fellas. Just between the three of us, I'm almost tempted to nick it.

59:28Mike Minogue:Yes. You know what I mean? Are you going to steal the Sky Tower hat from the Sky Tower?

59:30Keyzie:I mean, I don't even know that they noticed, because it looked like it was still in the same place where I put it back when I got to turn the tower on that time. You know what I mean?

59:37Mike Minogue:Yeah, but you know the story of that hat, right? Yeah. It's a hat from the guy who designed and opened the Sky Tower. It's his hat. That's right. And he passed away on the day that it was meant to open, and so that's like his memory. He was an Irish fella and actually fell off the top as he was cutting the ribbon. And as he went down and he plummeted, all you could hear his final words were, fiddle-dee-dee. And also, look after the hat.

59:59Keyzie:Yeah, good stuff. Oh, well, okay, I'll leave it behind. Oh, bugger, it's fallen off. I tell you what, it has been an absolute pleasure bringing this show to you today and throughout the day. In all seriousness, take your health seriously. If you've got any issues, read your bowels. Go and get it checked out. If you can still make a donation, you can still make a donation. Text Lou to 3483. Right, fellas?

1:00:23Mike Minogue:That's right. And go to danlou.co.nz for a full list of all the symptoms there. If you've got even just one of them, go see your GP and get it sorted because if you catch it early, very treatable. Fellas, can I just say, we got a message earlier on today from a fella who listens to our show who said explicitly that as a result of this show last year, he went and got checked out, found out he had bowel cancer, is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment. They caught it early enough. So this actually works. It makes a difference. Get out there, get checked, and it could be a bloody lifesaver.

1:00:56Keyzie:Bloody oats. You take care out there. We'll be back again same time, same place tomorrow. Goodbye. Bye.

1:01:08Radio Hauraki. Day in loop. Another life-saving day. Getting behind bowel cancer New Zealand. It's a beautiful day. Di, I know that you've had a huge amount of rounds of chemo. I actually did lose count around 53. I'm sort of running out of chemo options. Well, you're doing great work for bowel cancer awareness. the way that you're telling your story, the openness is remarkable to watch. I find you personally a massive inspiration. When you have to deal with mortality, you realise what's important and what's not. Keep the support coming by texting LOO to 3483 or head to dayandlou.co.nz.
