OUTRO: Aging Gracefully

0:00For all you mad bastards loving the Big Show podcast, get up even closer on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok or Raw Doggett. 4 to 7 every weekday on Radio Horekia.

0:15Keyzie:G'day fellas. Backbone. Hi. It's a pretty standy start from us. I like that. Um, I should warn you, I've got a throbbing headache. It's throbbing. Why are you warning me? Because I might just be quite quiet today. Oh, yeah. I might just sort of hand over the burden of chat to the fellas. You were quite chatty today until you smashed that glass and that tea mug in the kitchen. Yeah, that was weird, wasn't it? You're all happy as until. I tried to stop it with my foot, and now my foot really hurts. But here's the thing. And your hip sore. But your backbone. This was the really weird thing. So I was walking to work today.

0:52Mike Minogue:Your hip sore as well, right? Your hips don't lie.

0:55Keyzie:Got like really, a really sharp pain in my hip and I had to stop because it was like, oh, fuck, what was that? And then carried on walking and then did it again. And it's like, what's going on? I mean, I powered through. I'm a backbone. I kept walking, but shit, it hurt. I was in a meeting today and I strained it. Look, not to undermine what's happened to you, Jase, it's a tragedy. Bloody serious stuff, man. I think we're all feeling it.

1:24Mike Minogue:Yeah. And something just went in my finger. Oh, jeez, it's purple. This little purple bastard there. And I was just sitting there and I said to the guys, look at that. Is that what's happened there? I said, don't know, just sitting here. Yes. And we agreed that that's old age for you.

1:40Keyzie:I wonder if it's - That's what happens to your body. Did it hurt? It's not the thing I had with the, what's it called, hammer finger? That's right, your finger. What was that called? Mallet. A mallet finger. Yeah, yeah. where I just bumped it so lightly and then it just bent down and I couldn't fucking straighten it. And my daughter would bring it up periodically. Yes. And just out of the blue, man, be like nine months and she'd go, it's funny how Jase's finger does. It was the weirdest thing. I thought I'd had some kind of mini stroke or something. It was odd.

2:14Mike Minogue:That is weird though. It is.

2:16Keyzie:Had to be in a splint and everything. Look at it now. It's still weird. But you can see why people want to diet at the end of life, can't you? Yes. If you're just going to have that stuff happening, that's as good as it's going to get, Keezy. Just a little bit on your index finger. A little bit of a bruise on my finger there. Yeah. You can see how you're like, oh, fuck it. Let's just pack it up. Let's just call it a day, shall we?

2:35Mike Minogue:There is back paddock and just pack it up, but there's also doing something about certain things. Oh, certainly, surely. So, for example, if you come in every day and say your hip is sore. Yeah.

2:45Keyzie:I don't do it every day, Keezy.

2:47Mike Minogue:Then go and do Pilates or something. It's what I would do if I was Jase.

2:52Keyzie:Pilates? 100%. Good God.

2:55Mike Minogue:See, it's this old-fashioned attitude. It is. Shocking.

2:59Keyzie:When I got my mallet finger, I got that scene to. I got a splint. How long did it take you? About four days because we had to go away at that time, remember? Where did we go? We were down in the mount, I think, doing the black clash or something.

3:13Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah.

3:13Keyzie:So I couldn't do it then, but it was weird.

3:16Mike Minogue:I bet you're within walking distance of a Pilates studio.

3:20Keyzie:No, I don't think Pilates is the answer, Keezy.

3:22Mike Minogue:So hang on, so you'll do chair yoga?

3:25Keyzie:Well, no, you won't. You'll pay for it. I'll pay for it. You won't do it. Why don't you think Pilates is the answer? My wife does Pilates. So does mine? I don't know. I just... You don't want to look? I'll walk it out. The smart thing to do would be probably some kind of a medical practitioner, given your age. Yeah, yeah. He's not young anymore, Keezy. He's not just going to Pilates it out. He needs medical advice. And then he can get into a solid exercise regime, which I don't think you've been in for a while.

3:53Mike Minogue:Does he ever get medical advice?

3:55Keyzie:No, but that's what I'm saying. I am as fit as I've ever been at the moment. There you go. But the issue is, yeah, I do have hip issues, and I should probably book in my hip replacement now.

4:07Mike Minogue:Yeah, that's the thing.

4:07Keyzie:So by the time it rolls by, I'll be ready to go.

4:11Mike Minogue:He would rather book in a hip replacement than go see someone who could just maybe like fix the way, you know.

4:18Keyzie:But interestingly, in terms of back paddock, I said to my wife the other night, would you like to live to 100? And she was like, fuck no. And I was like, oh, really? And she said, no, I don't want to live that long. It's hard to say. Because when you get to that age where it's just like, you know, where you're just kind of waiting to die. Well, it's a weird, everybody always frames it that way, right? how old do you want to be but it's completely it directly relates to your quality of life so I want to live as long as my quality of life has got and then after that I'll just die thanks yeah

4:52Mike Minogue:well Jase man for you it's time back paddock

4:54Keyzie:and like my wife I reckon is going to live to 100 she's fit as she is fit as she looks after herself she does what did you do for her birthday spent some we couldn't actually do much because she had a rehearsal Oh.

5:13Mike Minogue:That's weird because I saw her out for dinner with a guy.

5:16Keyzie:Did you?

5:17Mike Minogue:Let's start a yarn on the show. His wife's having an affair. That's funny.

5:21Keyzie:Yeah, that would be. With Wayne Brown. That's been done, I'm afraid. Has it? Terry.

5:28Mike Minogue:Oh, yeah, true, true.

5:30Keyzie:But no. The Hauraki Big Show. Weekdays from four on Radio Hauraki. The Hauraki Big Show podcast. But we're going to go out for dinner again tonight. Again? Well, we go out for dinner all the time now. I got dumplings last night. When's the last time you wrote her a poem? Are you still deep in your poetry or have you given it away now? Oh, I haven't specifically written her one for ages.

5:55Mike Minogue:Can you write me a poem? You need to be inspired to write poetry, Jase. But she features in my poems. What, sort of standing over your shoulder?

6:03Keyzie:No, just in a sort of romantic way. A notion. Way. All right?

6:11Mike Minogue:Why did you just look up at my hair? I don't know. You just looked up at my hair and then laughed.

6:16Keyzie:Well, it's just a bit boofy at the moment. You're a bit boofy. That's a good idea, Mogi. I will. No, TZ, I won't write you a poem.

6:25Mike Minogue:I just don't believe that you can write poems.

6:27Keyzie:Okay. Oh, we haven't seen one yet, have we?
