Dave Roberts here. There you are surrounded by fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers. Everybody remembers the game. Nobody remembers the guy coughing behind you until a few days later. At 2 a.m., you wake up with the fever and your throats on fire. Now what? Urgent care, clothes, ER, slam, telehealth, maybe, but the pharmacy's clothes. You needed a medical emergency kit. These aren't first aid kits. They contain essential prescriptions used for over 30 common conditions. Sinus and ear infection, UTI, stomach bug, travelers diarrhea, and more. On hand before you need them. Use your doctor-developed guidebook to select the right prescription or call their telemedicine doctor standing by. It's like an urgent care and drugstore at home. When you're sick, traveling, or stranded, you'll wish you ordered a medical emergency kit. Order online in minutes and it's shipped to your door and say $45 with my promo code blue at urgentcarekit.com-slasblue. That's promo code blue at urgentcarekit.com-slasblue.

Nice to see you, Glenn Robbins. Hey, what is that song? Is that Stanglet? That is Stanglet. I'm a lot of Stanglet. I know he chose it, but I think it's called Stanglet. My name is Jesus. Yeah. Which is pertinent because you know, you look at photographs of yourself. You know, when you're phone, you'll see yourself maybe an old one pops up from many years ago, and I was looking at myself before I had gray hair, and then I looked at myself with gray hair. I went, I'm like in the gray hair. I don't mind it. You don't have to comment. I'm making Stanglet about myself. Silver Fox look is sensational. Well, thank you very much. But which is pertinent to my question. Getting older, you often hear the statement, you know, getting older is not fun. Getting older is not fun, but there are some good things about getting older. You bet there is one double three six nine three. You'd like to join us. Yeah, what do you like about getting older? Just a quick question with regard to going gray.

Is it the same for everyone in that it starts here and it just sort of fades up? Is that how it works? When you point it down, it starts at your belly button, say for example, say, and it goes, and then it hits your chest, and then it hits your neck, and then it goes up very his suit. Look at this. There's no gray there. No gray on your chest. No gray on the chest, but the head is very... Okay, so the way I've grayed is not normal. I just thought that was why everyone grayed. It sort of progresses up the body. No, okay. I've only just started graying, and I'll just see some just above my ears. Now the temptation is, and you will see people in the media, and they will, they'll go the coloring, and you go mate. Oh, you don't do that. How bad is the diger? Yeah, don't, don't, yeah. So, but I understand it, because I've had my head dyed for certain rolls. I've played them, gone, oh my, continue. Yeah, all right. But then, but now I'm... So when you lose your hair, people, people, they try to hide it, and I understand. Then they go, then they commit to it,

and they go, I'm saving it off my way or the highway. They're going to have magnificent ears here. Yeah, I know. Very good. Seriously, what do you like about getting older? People are going to give us a call, and what do you like about getting older? I mean, I tell you what, when you, when you walk your daughter down the aisle, that's one of the great days of your life. Yeah, that is, yeah, the opportunity to do that. It really is. And then of course, the other thing that I love about getting older is, as your children get older, and as they become adults, and as they, you know, go to the pub, there's nothing better than go to the pub with your kids. Yeah, I like the sound of that. One of the great experiences in what way? Well, in that you're all just, you know, sharing, laughing, telling stories. You're getting on the beers together. Do you reckon you get more interesting as you get older? No, no, no, no, I think I am. I do, I have a habit of repreating my stories, but I think my story's pretty good. I think I've got good stories. I think they were, and you can see some hours being robbed, but I got, I'm on topic, this is a good story. Exactly, you've got a lifetime of good stories. Yeah. I found talking down to younger people, enjoyable. So really, yeah, I

do. Can I let, how are you? Nice to see you. And by the way, nice work with the dressing sense there today. It's a nice change. Because you know, I'm, those sort of things. I'm a little bit different, that I enjoy getting young again, meaning I don't care. So when it comes to playing with kids, I don't care being silly. I don't care. Pull them up. Not well, whatever, whatever it is to take to be a bit silly, whatever it takes to be a bit juvenile. I love it. Because I get attention, and people laugh, and I make people happy. That's my whole career, actually. Yeah. So this is with grandchildren, something we're talking about here. But also with friends, when you, when you, when you get a bit older and you get a bit silly, yeah. I mean, other words, you can get on a dance floor and you can dance like you meant to dance, or you can let go and really get into it. And not care what people think. She like getting on the D-Fall, Makka. I was a big dancer with the girls. I used to buy my girls. My wife and I loved going out and dancing. We loved it. It was great fun. And more now? I haven't gone dancing for a while. Well, I reckon the kids had dragged me off the

dance floor. Do you dance at home alone? Sometimes when you get out of the shower and there's a bit of music on to you, because I do, it feels great. When you catch yourself in the mirror, it doesn't look great. But the feeling is good. No question. I was going to say the right hand is playing you just jump out the shower. Oh, yeah. I'm not dancing even to see myself, but I think I do it every day. Sally's called in, won double three, six, nine, three. Morning to you, Sel. Oh, good morning. Look, I love being getting old and belonging to a chess club and doing what I want to do. I've got my own money. I can please myself if I want to go to the ballet. I go if I want to go to a flower show, I go. And it's just the freedom that you have when you get older, that you don't have when you're young. Which not striving for pleasure in some ways, not striving. You're just floating on the boat and wherever it takes you, you're enjoying it.

You're letting go. Sally, you're still there? Yes, I am. So, Sally, have you got a diary? So, if you go to, I don't know, next Tuesday. Yes, I do have a diary. So, next Tuesday, have you already slotted in what you're going to do on that Tuesday? Yes, I'd be at Kaiser, Kesar, you don't need gymnasium. Yes, I do. There are good avatars with throw. Thank you for that. Yeah. Good job. Good on yourself. I had more cash written down. Just as you get on, I don't think this is true. It is true. It is true. I mean, when I said everything was about saving money. I mean, I realized it's hard out there. I realized that. But as you get older and you're glad to access your, I'm not a pension or something. I don't know what I'm on. I'm not a cat and sent me up with something. It's good. You got much again. You got cash. Yeah. It's good. You don't have to scrum. You don't have to think about what you're going to do tomorrow night. You can just go. Glenn Robbins is in 1.33693 if you'd like the chat. 28 past eight. The joy of gardening is one that comes to mind. You love it too, don't you?

I'm in. If you have told me when I was 23 years old that at 57, I would enjoy pottering around the garden. Mm hmm. I would be passing your face. What about cleaning the shed? Yeah, yeah. It's been a tiny. Yeah, cleaning things is very satisfying. I've got two more for you. Yeah, I've got much better at how do I say this? Have you really? You got better. Oh, there's no way you got to be better. I'm glad Ross isn't here. Well, I don't know. Maybe it's me, but I'm on the receiving. Well, I'll keep talking. Yeah, I and my taste buds. Your taste buds have got better. Oh, yeah. Come on. You appreciate food so much more when you're older. I guess that's right. Really? Yeah. I think you're right. Yeah. You're appreciated. Yeah. She's a wine. Yeah. Anyway, I'd stop to you. So do you take your time when you're eating? Clean. I do now. So you use more time now that you're older? I didn't know I'd get on with the other stuff. Good man. So they might have around that he's better in the sector than he was when he's

a egg. It's that little night. Dave Roberts here. There you are surrounded by fans, sharing wings, sharing drinks, high-fiving random strangers. Everybody remembers the game.
