welcome to this edition of when the
00:16
biomass it’s the wind turbine a
00:18
discussion of sustainable living and
00:20
what that means to you and me I’m Jay
00:23
Warmke and I’m Annie Warmke and
00:25
today we’re gonna talk about aging
00:28
sustainably or all this crap is just
00:31
getting old it’s passed on getting old
00:37
it’s not about getting old that’s the
00:40
crap so that’s what we’re gonna talk
00:42
about today right so we were discussing
00:44
preparing for this about all of the
00:47
weird messages that our society gives us
00:50
about getting okay weird maybe to you
00:52
and me but I think they’re too too
00:55
common and normal to everybody else
00:57
which is what makes it feel so icky
01:00
mm-hm
01:00
so what what is it what is that message
01:02
as you’ve interpreted it okay well first
01:08
of all that I am supposed to be nothing
01:12
to anybody except a teaching machine an
01:17
ATM machine for insurance companies and
01:21
the US government I’m old so I cannot
01:26
make decisions for myself and nor can I
01:29
continue to be productive as a person
01:33
I’m ugly I’m achy my teeth are gonna
01:38
fall out and I’m not going to be able to
01:40
have sex what’s left these are lovely
01:43
messages and it started this thing
01:47
you’re gonna be a Walmart greeter no I
01:50
am oh yeah well that’s the other thing
01:52
because you got to keep working now
01:53
because you can’t afford to be old but
01:55
it didn’t start because I turned old
01:58
enough to draw Social Security it
02:00
started at age 50 when you chose to be
02:04
kind of ornery not that you would ever
02:07
do that and tease me about turning 50
02:10
because I got something in the mail from
02:12
AARP reminding me that I was getting old
02:16
and I needed to be protected and
02:19
defended because I was getting old you
02:21
know what the good news was one day you
02:23
turned 50 and you got the same
02:26
but I was actually much younger when
02:28
that happened how’s that work I don’t
02:31
know so anyway so but we hear this
02:34
I mean we’ve we’ve been on this rant
02:36
periodically about the the idea of the
02:40
American dream and I think the idea that
02:42
people have as far as getting old there
02:44
seems to be this cultural message of
02:46
saying I want to get to an age where I
02:49
can retire and then do nothing
02:52
which seems like a very bizarre message
02:55
I mean this is something from from our
02:58
discussions when we’re talking about
03:00
this that feels so odd that your whole
03:05
goal your whole mission in life is to
03:07
get to a point where you can do nothing
03:09
well here’s the problem that’s that may
03:13
well be true I mean I see it all I hear
03:15
it all the time but the problem is that
03:18
nothing in our culture tells us how to
03:21
be old it tells us how to be sick it
03:24
tells us how to not be productive it
03:26
tells us how to stop acting like we
03:28
should have a voice but it does not tell
03:31
us how to be old well it seems that’s
03:33
fairly common all of the main things
03:36
that the really important things our
03:38
society never actually prepares you for
03:41
like how to decide upon a career or how
03:44
to have children how to get married we
03:47
know how to have different podcast but
03:56
anyway oh come on no it’s not here’s the
04:01
thing the things that are really vital
04:03
we are not told how to do it properly
04:06
that was kind of my point okay but
04:09
getting old is perhaps the most
04:11
important thing we’re gonna do in life
04:13
what we contribute from that point in
04:16
life where we are acknowledging yes our
04:19
bodies are changing enough that maybe we
04:21
have to do things a little differently
04:23
you know I I frankly resent the fact
04:25
that people repeatedly say Oh Annie
04:28
you’re getting old and you’re gonna try
04:32
not to say that as much that would be
04:34
that would be good and very safe on your
04:36
part but the the problem is they’re
04:38
saying you can’t
04:40
continue to be a goat herder or you
04:42
can’t continue to work at a at a pace
04:45
like you work at you know what are you
04:48
trying to do while I’m trying to live my
04:49
life I have goals in my life and I don’t
04:52
see how I can suddenly come to a point
04:56
where those goals aren’t valuable
04:57
anymore or even important to me so that
05:00
leads us into the concept of you know
05:03
we’re all going to get older we’re all
05:05
and I hate to break this to everybody
05:07
we’re gonna die at some point yeah so so
05:11
it seems realistic to plan for aging and
05:15
to plan to die
05:16
those we don’t talk about those things
05:18
okay but I’m going to we’re gonna talk
05:21
about so so I know you’re really big on
05:24
plans you’re big on let’s let’s make
05:26
plans and and actually I do recall back
05:30
in in the late 1800s when we were in our
05:33
20s and you know they we talked about
05:37
getting old we talked about planning to
05:40
be old when we were in our 20s yes we
05:42
did mm-hmm and we actually laid out what
05:44
we would do and you know what’s really
05:46
weird we’re doing it yeah but but old
05:49
age to me was like 40 so no actually yes
05:53
I remember you saying that and being
05:55
quite of those smarts no and we’ve been
05:57
pretty pretty forthcoming on this and
05:59
and part of the plan as I remember it
06:01
and it may be faulty but we’re gonna do
06:08
all these things that we the people
06:10
often hold for retirement such as travel
06:14
and and do those raising our
06:17
grandchildren wasn’t really planned but
06:21
anyway um do those when were younger and
06:23
then try and set up a lifestyle as we
06:27
age that requires physical activity the
06:31
other thing we did was we bought we
06:34
decided when we got into at least when I
06:37
got into my late 30s I said look I I
06:40
miss Ohio I miss my life in the country
06:45
being a farm woman and I realized that
06:48
as I age I need to get back to that in
06:51
some way and so we
06:53
early on in our lives purchased land and
06:56
we weren’t even sure we just thought it
06:58
was going to be a retreat but we started
07:00
using that as our bunker as you called
07:02
it our savings account and we developed
07:04
that so at some point in life we were
07:07
able to fall back on to that when we
07:09
decided to make some major changes in
07:11
our careers and stuff sure and that but
07:13
that was our plan now other people may
07:15
have different plans it might be I want
07:17
to sail around the world or I want to do
07:21
something else I want to get into
07:23
woodworking I want to do whatever it is
07:25
I want to do but it seems realistic that
07:27
when you’re younger you should begin
07:29
anticipating that and beginning the plan
07:32
and I think what what’s proven to be the
07:34
case at least for me is the idea of
07:38
travel is less and less appealing as I
07:42
get older you know we get into these I
07:45
want my comfortable pillow I want my
07:47
virgin
07:51
so so the idea of when we were younger
07:54
yeah we could sleep in a train station
07:56
or sleep on the ground or deal with
07:58
those things our stools in an airport
08:00
those are always fun wasn’t because we
08:04
were drinking we didn’t even have
08:06
anything to drink so those are the
08:08
inconveniences in the and the discomfort
08:11
that are associated with traveling and I
08:14
think most people don’t really factor
08:18
that in to to their retirement plans I
08:21
think most people have this fantasy I am
08:23
done working I’m going to travel I’m
08:25
gonna see the world I’m gonna do all
08:27
these things that I put off for forty
08:29
five years while I was working at a job
08:31
that I didn’t much care for there’s the
08:33
key the done working part means I’m
08:35
leaving something I don’t want to do
08:37
anymore and not replacing it with
08:39
something of value that’s that’s the
08:42
biggest message that you know and we
08:44
just need really to say look we don’t
08:46
accept that anymore that that we want to
08:50
be valuable in this culture and so we
08:53
don’t have to be relegated to travel too
08:56
busy ourselves because we have a lot I
08:59
mean when I look at all the things that
09:01
are needed at schools today I wonder the
09:04
reason why people are sitting at home
09:06
say
09:06
I’m lonely or I don’t have anything to
09:09
do or watching television all day when
09:11
those kids are waiting for someone to
09:13
read with them and to care about them
09:16
and there are millions of jobs out there
09:18
I know people have to work a lot of
09:21
people when they get to retirement age
09:23
now have to work in order to make ends
09:25
meet but there are ways to do that as
09:29
well I mean it’s a revolution to think
09:31
that maybe I have some skill sets that I
09:33
could go out and do what I want to I’ve
09:34
got some Social Security but I need a
09:36
few hundred dollars more I don’t have to
09:39
be relegated to be the Walmart greeter I
09:41
I have stuff to contribute and the
09:44
cultural message is we do not we are not
09:48
of value because we are not producing
09:51
and yet we’re told not to produce it’s
09:54
crazy so we got to have a plan J and I
09:57
know I say this every single podcast but
10:01
to have a plan is an act of revolution
10:03
it’s thumbing your nose at a culture
10:05
that says if you just don’t plan you can
10:06
be in enough debt that you’ll never get
10:09
anywhere in life and I would say that
10:11
part of our plan early on was to not be
10:14
in debt and that helped us to be able to
10:17
get to where we wanted to be when we
10:18
needed to make major changes in our
10:21
lives well I think another thing that we
10:23
have experienced and I think anticipated
10:26
but it’s still a frustration to go
10:28
through is the institutions of aging
10:31
that come at you like I’m thinking about
10:33
Social Security and Medicare and those
10:36
kind of things that put you into a
10:39
bureaucracy where where you are expected
10:42
to be a certain way and behave a certain
10:44
way and for anarchists like yourself you
10:47
know that is but I’m not going to be
10:51
told how to take care of myself
10:53
as opposed to a darky not so here here’s
10:57
the thing you know I don’t really want
11:00
to be caught up in a healthcare model
11:03
that does not meet my needs and yet I
11:06
find myself in that situation and so I
11:09
came to you and I said look I can’t do
11:12
this I’m scared I’m scared of a model
11:15
that says I have to be a certain way and
11:16
I’m going to
11:17
I when I had to sign up for Medicare
11:19
they said well you know you can’t just
11:21
come and go and do what you want to if
11:23
we if you’re in the hospital and you
11:26
decide you don’t want to be there well
11:27
maybe you won’t be allowed to leave well
11:29
that that just made me wake out and or I
11:33
couldn’t go the chiropractor because I
11:35
needed to you know it was crazy but I
11:38
said we have to understand what is it
11:41
we’re going to do when there’s that
11:43
point in life where I’ve I can’t go on
11:46
there’s something wrong and I’m gonna
11:48
die or I don’t have the ability to
11:51
continue in my life you know having a
11:54
plan then I don’t really need to think
11:57
so much about what’s Medicare gonna do
11:59
to me or not do me do to me or what
12:01
Social Security going to do or what kind
12:03
of fast-track do I have to be on to get
12:06
into the to the assisted living facility
12:09
at $4,000 a month you know I didn’t work
12:12
all my life to be in those places and
12:14
eat that food and live that way I can’t
12:17
do it so this is a bit like when we talk
12:19
about disaster preparedness you know the
12:23
time to deal with these things is not in
12:25
the middle of Christ now time to deal
12:27
with them is when you’re rational and
12:29
thinking these things are way medic so
12:31
jealous when you’re fairly rational and
12:34
and trying to deal with these things and
12:37
that’s the moment to say all right when
12:39
this happens because things are going to
12:41
yeah but I have a healthcare plan I know
12:45
exactly how I need to take care of
12:47
myself and I know what I need to do in
12:49
an emergency and so do you I don’t want
12:52
to be told by somebody who doesn’t know
12:54
anything about me that I have to comply
12:57
to something that doesn’t work for me
12:59
and there’s not only pressure from the
13:02
institutions and we’ve talked about
13:04
pressure from the government family the
13:06
medical yeah family is a big big area
13:09
because people try and put you into this
13:11
box and telling me I’m getting old and I
13:16
need to stop doing stuff where I need to
13:17
go to a medical doctor because
13:19
something’s wrong because my health care
13:22
professional can’t help me you know it’s
13:25
just crazy or I just should eat whatever
13:27
I want because I’m going to die anyway
13:30
yeah all right well time is marching on
13:33
and at this moment I just want to take a
13:35
break here to remind you that you are
13:38
listening to when the biomass hits the
13:40
wind turbine with Jay and Annie Warmke
13:42
reminding you once again it is the end
13:45
of the world as we know it and thank God
13:48
today I’m really thanking God today
13:50
there you go
13:51
so the end and you know we we talked
13:54
about these things like I guess in
13:56
absolutes you know it’s the end of the
13:58
world well that’s good it’s it you’re
14:00
getting older it’s all it’s all sounding
14:03
fairly bleak but why does that sound
14:06
bleak I mean you know I remember I
14:09
worked for the boss years and years ago
14:11
when I was a young whippersnapper and he
14:13
was he was this old ancient guy in his
14:16
fifties and and he used to tell me like
14:19
almost every day oh man don’t get old
14:21
and I hear this so often it’s like oh
14:24
don’t get old and I always used to just
14:26
quit back well it it beats the
14:28
alternative and it it really does I mean
14:31
what is the alternative to aging well I
14:34
think first of all it does come back to
14:36
planning so in in our lives we’ve had a
14:40
five year and a ten year plan and then
14:42
suddenly we got to this point in our
14:45
life where it wasn’t an age it was just
14:48
sort of a sense when we were doing our
14:50
planning and saying if planning feels
14:52
differently now we’re thinking about
14:55
this differently because if we’re
14:57
thinking ten years out well wait a
14:59
minute that’s kind of crazy let’s think
15:02
two years or four years let’s think
15:04
about the long-range plan we’ve had
15:06
about publishing books and writing books
15:09
and all that which we’re doing but we’re
15:11
gonna do it differently now and let’s
15:14
think about maybe there are some things
15:16
that we want to do now that we might
15:19
have put off until later and that’s not
15:21
because either one of us are gonna die
15:22
or anything like that we’re just saying
15:24
look it’s not the same planning process
15:26
we have to start thinking about things
15:28
differently not that we’re going to be
15:30
less productive or or less engaged or
15:34
unhappy or sitting all the time that
15:36
isn’t about that it’s just saying let’s
15:38
be realistic about body changes idea
15:41
changes things that may
15:44
I have wanted to do that I I didn’t do I
15:47
don’t have any of that but if I did this
15:49
would be the time I would want to
15:51
interject it into my life plan I know in
15:54
in my consciousness any anyway something
15:58
recently is crept in which is this idea
16:01
of you know what there are not as many
16:03
tomorrows as there were yesterday’s you
16:06
know you don’t know you’re young there
16:09
you go you never know yeah I’ll live to
16:10
be a hundred and thirty-five or so
16:12
you’ll miss me so but but it’s a weird
16:16
realization it’s this weird thing of
16:18
actually truly believing that you’re
16:22
immortal you know I think everybody
16:24
comes to this at some point maybe
16:25
hopefully and where you just say don’t
16:27
they don’t talk about it well but they
16:29
never say okay literally there will be a
16:32
time of non-existence and and of course
16:36
that gets very very to the heart of all
16:38
sorts of you know which is a place I
16:43
don’t want to tread into at the moment
16:45
but it is definitely going to be
16:48
different so but it’s different before
16:50
that and that’s what I’m talking about
16:52
and I find it comforting to be able to
16:55
know I understand where I want to be and
16:59
how I’m going to get there I saw a film
17:01
with Scott and Helen nearing nearing
17:04
yeah and it’s a story of really the end
17:08
of their life and that film documentary
17:12
really really brought home the point
17:15
that I have complete control as long as
17:17
I have any senses left of how I’m going
17:21
to live to the end and I think perhaps
17:25
the most powerful thing we do is how we
17:28
live until we’re going to die from this
17:30
point on in life how we spend our money
17:33
what we invest in with our youth in our
17:36
world things we write thinks we say
17:40
things we use I think all of that is
17:44
really powerful because what we’re doing
17:46
is teaching the next generation how to
17:49
be old and how to die gracefully
17:51
and that’s where I find that comfort
17:54
it’s like okay it’s gonna happen well
17:57
and I think we have
17:58
we’ve all seen people who try and deny
17:59
the fact they’re getting older and they
18:01
they end up coming off kind of silly you
18:03
know kind of a parody of themselves
18:05
trying to be young when obviously
18:07
they’re not young or trying to behave in
18:09
a way that’s kind of pressure no but
18:14
there is a lot of pressure because
18:15
there’s real rejection for being old
18:18
that you don’t look pretty anymore but
18:21
what if we never looked pretty I mean
18:23
hey we might look better when we’re home
18:25
but I think there is this real challenge
18:28
of changing what the culture is telling
18:31
us which is a bold-faced lie about own
18:33
age and creating our own definition of
18:36
what it means to be old not just as a
18:39
culture but what does it mean to be old
18:41
for you because I love you and I want to
18:43
honor what that means to you and what
18:46
does it mean to me and once I’ve defined
18:48
that then hey I’m good to go you know
18:51
because I know what to expect well one
18:54
of the things I wanted to touch on here
18:55
during this discussion of diminishing
18:59
life expectancy here is that oh that’s a
19:02
nice way to put it not right so I’m
19:05
thinking you know some we touched on
19:08
earlier about people have this vision of
19:10
I’m gonna work to a certain age I’m
19:12
going to retire and then I’m gonna do
19:15
what I want to do and and of course when
19:17
we lived in Florida for so many years we
19:20
see this kind of under a microscope of
19:23
so many people whose constant everyday
19:27
ordeal is how to fill their day with
19:30
distraction well I think you’ll see that
19:32
anywhere you go if you go to there it’s
19:35
it’s concentrated it’s it’s like it’s
19:38
like a pond after the water is mostly
19:41
evaporated everything is kind of
19:42
concentrated together that is a pretty
19:45
good description of Florida actually but
19:50
but I’m thinking about this that the
19:52
people I admire the people I see who are
19:54
aging in a way that I admire they’re
19:57
they’re doing what they’ve done or doing
20:00
what they want to do it’s not about
20:03
leisure it’s about still being
20:05
productive still pursuing a passion yeah
20:08
whatever that passion
20:09
that’s to be and and to me the ideal of
20:12
retirement would be pursue those things
20:14
that we still want to pursue without
20:17
feeling a pressure that you have to earn
20:20
money from it yeah that would be a
20:23
luxury and a lot of people weren’t there
20:25
but I I remember hearing Frank Lloyd
20:27
Wright’s story he’s the famous architect
20:30
and he thought when he was 72 which you
20:33
know when you were 72 in his day that
20:36
was pretty old that his career was over
20:39
but he designed and built more than 400
20:42
buildings after that because his career
20:44
was revived and I can of those 400
20:47
buildings 400 of them have roofs that
20:49
leak okay but that doesn’t matter that’s
20:51
not the part that’s my personal
20:53
obsession but it made me feel like the
20:57
way I was feeling already and that was
21:00
that I have come full circle in my life
21:02
and the work that I have done as a young
21:05
woman has kind of collectively come back
21:09
together again and so I created this
21:12
full circle and I’m doing such
21:15
interesting things I mean every day is
21:18
fascinating to me and it’s because it’s
21:21
a collection of the work that I’ve done
21:23
over the last 40 years so it’s vital
21:27
that I have that to stand on and that I
21:30
can see it’s something that’s a tool and
21:32
not just something I’m just going to
21:34
throw away or put in a file drawer
21:37
somewhere it’s really about coming to
21:42
the end of something and then saying hey
21:44
how can I live off the rewards of this
21:46
work that I’ve done to keep doing more
21:49
of it hmm well we’ve talked about that
21:51
where when we’ve come up with a new idea
21:54
at this stage of our professional
21:56
development in our physical aging right
22:00
since we’re talking about aging
22:01
you’re not starting from zero again you
22:04
know you have a history upon which to
22:06
build yes and you know for some people
22:09
that history may be negative I don’t
22:11
know but but if hopefully you have
22:13
accomplished certain things that you can
22:15
build upon and do the next thing that
22:17
you find interesting well everybody has
22:19
skills even cooking skills but but does
22:22
everybody have
22:23
I have a passionate about that’s about
22:26
self-actualization and and that’s a rare
22:29
thing in our culture very very few
22:31
people have actually realized
22:33
self-actualization well you know tapping
22:36
into the counselor of you speaking of
22:38
your history how would you
22:41
is there a way is there even a way of
22:43
motivating that that passion in someone
22:47
you know to say all right if you could
22:49
do anything you want to do what would
22:52
that be well first of all we have to
22:54
feel safe enough to try yeah and that
22:56
when you look at Maslow’s hierarchy you
23:00
have to understand that safety is pretty
23:02
important and we don’t have that very
23:04
strong in our culture a sense of safety
23:07
and we have to feel safe in our
23:09
environment and also safe within
23:10
ourselves to be able to even reach out
23:13
and try to grasp what that means and I
23:16
think it’s really difficult mm-hm so we
23:20
get back to that one problem of
23:22
relearning behaviors that have been
23:24
learned over a lifetime but we can’t
23:26
change that we can’t change it I saw
23:28
It’s a Wonderful Life
23:29
I know things changed but but the thing
23:31
about the safety issue you know we do
23:33
live in a culture that perpetuates this
23:36
myth of how dangerous it is yeah and and
23:40
that then creates this mindset that
23:42
we’re not safe to try but we can change
23:44
our brain or the to form you need to
23:47
accumulate in order to be safe right you
23:50
got a pile and a big enough pile of crap
23:53
big enough thank you God
23:54
well it’s funny I was I was talking to a
23:56
my my baby brother about some of these
23:59
things and we’re talking about
24:00
we all make comparisons of ourselves you
24:03
know in comparison with our culture with
24:05
other people
24:06
and that’s one source of dissatisfaction
24:09
in a lot of folks they look at other
24:11
people and they get a sense that they’re
24:14
doing better than perhaps they really
24:16
are better in that they have more stuff
24:19
yeah I mean when beer when you’re
24:21
comparing yourself to another you feel
24:23
somehow wanting that these other people
24:26
and because you’re only seeing the
24:28
character of their life not the reality
24:31
of it but where I was going with this is
24:33
I was thinking about the difference
24:37
between
24:37
or you or the average person who will be
24:40
listening listening to this and and Bill
24:43
Gates I’ll use Bill Gates because he’s
24:45
the he’s very rich very rich the
24:47
difference between us and Bill Gates is
24:51
razor-thin right he has a house we have
24:55
a house he has a car we have a car he’s
24:57
like yeah I mean we’re probably happier
25:00
he’s not I don’t know maybe is but the
25:03
difference between the two of us is so
25:05
tiny yet the difference between us and
25:08
someone living on the street is the
25:10
Grand Canyon
25:11
so you mentioned Maslow’s hierarchy once
25:14
you’ve reached a certain level of within
25:19
that pyramid differences are minut I
25:22
don’t think there’s a big difference
25:23
between us and the people who are
25:25
homeless that is so thin if it happened
25:28
to you in a heart okay but but
25:31
physically safety comfort all of those
25:34
things to me anyway there’s a big gulf
25:36
there’s a big goal between oh there’s
25:40
another program look I’m thinking like
25:46
I’m making a wise point and you’re
25:48
looking at me like oh my child but I’m
25:54
gonna be good but I was making it like a
25:56
positive thing I know I okay well just
26:00
to say that that we all have
26:03
insecurities and lack confidence I don’t
26:05
care how much we have in life it’s how
26:07
we view things and the brain has
26:10
specific ways that it carries out the
26:14
stories in your life and the things that
26:15
you tell yourself and we can change that
26:18
you know I’ve talked about this before
26:20
that the that message of being insecure
26:23
or afraid or lacking confidence is is a
26:28
little electrical line that goes through
26:31
your brain and you’ve got a little story
26:32
like a home movie that you play about it
26:34
when something goes on or smell brings
26:37
back a memory and you can change those
26:39
things by telling yourself to shut up
26:41
and then give yourself another thought
26:44
and that’s how we can you ask me about
26:46
changing I know but we started off
26:48
talking about aging and now we’re into
26:51
but sexualization mental but if we want
26:55
to have a happy old age one of the
26:57
things we have to do is to try to heal
27:00
some of the crap that we’re dealt
27:01
because we are getting old some of the
27:04
crap we were dealt as kids and so a lot
27:06
of the crap that we’re dealt from our
27:09
culture because they’re lying to us at
27:11
every turn about how life really works
27:13
so I think we owe it to ourselves to
27:15
figure out how to change some of those
27:17
messages if we want to have a happy old
27:19
age or a happy young age to kind of get
27:22
over it move forward I don’t know if you
27:25
ever get over it but that’s okay it’s
27:27
how you tell yourself about it mm-hmm so
27:30
if you had had to sum it up sum it up
27:37
some how do i age happily in two minutes
27:39
or less come on okay go well I think
27:43
first of all you have a plan and you
27:46
plan for how you’re gonna be old so one
27:48
thing you could do is say I’m going to
27:49
leech off my kids and friends and while
27:52
you had them in the first right or you
27:54
could say I’m gonna do something
27:55
different from that maybe I’m going to
27:57
live in a group with other people and
27:58
not in some assisted living but whatever
28:01
be generous with yourself think about
28:04
how it would work I’m going to have a
28:06
plan of how I’m going to have my leisure
28:07
my transportation my community my tribe
28:12
my spiritual practice all the stuff you
28:15
should be doing when you’re 20 30 40 50
28:17
60 you really need to do in your old age
28:20
