WEBVTT - The Regret  

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a mojo in the morning show, Shannon, This topic

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that you're about to bring up right now is a

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>learning lesson to all of our listeners that try to

0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 1>do what you can in the moment, right now today,

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>because you never know if there will be another.

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 2>But what happened, I'm sorry about this.

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I got some really, really terrible news on Saturday

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 3>evening that one of my friends from college, a sorority

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 3>sister of mine, passed away unexpectedly in the middle of

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 3>the night. Younger than me. She was two years two

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 3>years younger than me, and she an like an incredible person,

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 3>a teacher, a mom of a three year old little girl,

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:44.959
<v Speaker 3>a wife, and it was just such a tragic thing

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 3>that happened that she died in her sleep and she

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>didn't wake up the next morning, and it just has

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 3>really it honestly is still so surreal to me that

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>she's not here anymore. But it's one of those situations

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 3>where we were really close in college, especially being in

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 3>the same sorority. We lived together, you know, for a

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 3>handful of years, and then we kept in touch after college.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 3>She came to my bachelorette party, my first wedding, and

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 3>then after that, we just kind of like lost touch.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 3>And it wasn't like we weren't friends anymore. It's just

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>the visits became phone calls, and then the phone calls

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 3>became texts, and then the text became a DM here

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>and there or a like on Instagram, and then you

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 3>hear that this this person is no longer here and

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 3>I have so much regret of not keeping in better

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 3>touch with her.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Did she did she battle in illness or what was?

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:46.680
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 2>No, they did they tell you what's going on?

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Essentially, she had a seizure, a seizure in the middle

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 3>of the night and no no history of it's just

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 3>because her husband was out of town work. Wow, so

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 3>she was by herself with the baby.

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>That's even worse because I know it's really a terrible

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>susus bad saying this, but I feel like if if

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you know that they're sick and you have time to

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>be able to go, hey, you know, I want to

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>spend some time with you. Yeah, but this gives it

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.360
<v Speaker 1>is You're right, it is a lesson and you just

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know, you don't know when your time is.

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 3>It really made me sit and reflect and go there

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 3>are certain people in my life that I love so

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>much and I hold, you know, such a special place

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 3>in my heart for and I don't necessarily, you know,

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>pick up the phone and keep in touch with them

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 3>or hang out with like we always say, oh, we'll

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 3>get together, we'll get together, and you never get together.

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 3>And so that's the purpose of me bringing this up

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 3>is like, do those things that you say you're going

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 3>to do or call that person today that you they're

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.800
<v Speaker 3>on your mind, but you're like, oh, yeah, you know

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 3>the next time I'm on a long road trip, I'll

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 3>call her. No call them.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Well she uh, you know, you talked about how it

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>seemed like when you after you her wedding, you guys

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of stopped talking to each other. Was it a

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>mutual thing or did one of you try to call

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>each other?

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 2>What was it? She's just like, yeah, like proximity.

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 3>She she lives in Indiana, lived in Indiana, and.

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, do you what do you remember about her when

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you first met her, you know, at college and you

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>guys first came so she.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Was really really she had grown up with one of

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 3>my best friends who I had already known, who was

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>my age, and so then she came to the school

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 3>and she was just She's one of those people that

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>loves everybody and everything. Like she she was a huge

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>cat lover, which you know my feelings on cats, so

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 3>she would always try to make me like cats and

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 3>I would say, Sam, it's not going to happen.

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Happened.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>But she was just so sweet and she had such

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 3>a spunk about her.

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's weird.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 3>We worked together for a couple of years at the mall.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 3>It just I literally we have a group like a

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 3>shared album that we're trying to make some memory books

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.160
<v Speaker 3>for her daughter. Her daughter's only three, and we want

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 3>her to you know, know her tell stories about her

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Mommy know, her mom is with the we feel like

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>our friend group. It's the it's the least that we

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 3>could do is make like chat books or stat books

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 3>or something. And I look at photos. I'm like, this

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 3>is not even real and she's not here.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's weird.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I experienced death at such a young age when my

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 1>mom had passed, but I became kind of you know,

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>whenever you'd have like a relative that would die, I'd

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, my uncle just died, or you know,

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like because you already dealt with a

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>big death of a family member. It's not until you

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:42.359
<v Speaker 1>lose somebody that is your age and or somebody that

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 1>was like well, close friend of yours that you go,

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>holy crap. It makes things like life real At that moment, it.

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 3>Feels very fragile all of a sudden, that she went

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 3>to sleep on Thursday night, yeah, and didn't wake up

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>on Friday morning.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's wild to say this, but I I'll say

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>this guy had a bunch of buddies that committed suicide.

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>When we were in high school and then college and stuff.

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>We had probably three people that I knew that committed

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>suicide for you know, really sad situations for their family

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and friends and all of us. But when somebody just

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>dies of like a natural cause where they you know,

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>or some kind of an illness that's not a mental

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 1>health illness, you sit there and you go, oh, my god,

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that could happen to me, you know what I mean,

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Like this really could happen. And then you start realizing,

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>holy crap, like you're right, I want to connect. And

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>it always takes something like this to make you start

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>reconnecting with people. Yes, but then as time goes by,

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.680
<v Speaker 1>it fades and you go back into your daily routines.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 3>And I say, I use the word proximity because I

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 3>feel like that is really important for friendship, Like you

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 3>tend to you tend to stay in touch with on

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 3>a daily basis, the people who you see all the time,

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:00.200
<v Speaker 3>right it.

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I'm sorry.

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and think of the time that you're wasting with us. Yeah,

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you could have easily gone to know. It's no, It's

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>funny like back, you know, a couple of weeks back,

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, seeing the people that that showed up at

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that occasion that I had, you know that at the celebration,

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Like I'm like, man, you kind of realize who some

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of your your true buddies are and friends are and

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>family members are and stuff like that.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.919
<v Speaker 2>But he said she was like two years younger than you,

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:31.039
<v Speaker 2>like sixty eight.

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to make jokes, Hey, hugs to to you

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Shannon on that one, but also prayers.

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>We have to keep prayers for.

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.119
<v Speaker 3>That year old, her husband and her daughter.

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I could not imagine, like I just a three

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>year old.

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, that is just that's just awful to know

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>that your your your mom is is not there anymore.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>And the husband who's out of town.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>You know what I mean, like not to be there

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and able to be there not only for your wife,

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>but for your daughter needs.

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 5>To feel a sense of guilt because he was sleeping

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 5>next to her, would he have noticed?

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>You don't you always hear these, uh these stories sometimes

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of where somebody will have like that, like a seizure,

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>or they'll have like an aneurysm.

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 3>And yes, you're like, what is you want to know

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 3>the craziest part of this they were able to pinpoint

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 3>her time of death for Apple Watch.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Really yeah, they a Watch.

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Eight four four Mojo Live text nine five five zero zero.

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Is is our telephon number? You know, it's kind of interesting.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I did this a few years ago, and I'm going

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to go back to it now. Every day, memory, I

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>would tell you, or every week, I would try to

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>reconnect with somebody who I hadn't talked to in a while. Yeah,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and just out of the blue call and leave even

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a voicemail message. And so I would start calling people

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that hadn't talked to in maybe a couple three years

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. And I found myself honestly reconnect with people. Yeah,

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe this is something to do.

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 3>Again, Yeah, because it's not that you don't like those

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 3>people anymore. It's just life gets in the way and

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 3>there are people that you love and you want a

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 3>relationship with, but we are like I hate the word busy,

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 3>but we all get to busy and there's so many

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 3>things and you forget about the things that are and

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 3>the people that are really really important pieces to your life.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Isn't this the time of year where we get caught

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>up in the crap? You know, we get caught up

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>in the holiday stuff, and we do get to the

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>point where it's like I feel like we're just in

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.720
<v Speaker 1>this moment of our lives from now until the end

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.199
<v Speaker 1>of the year. We're just trying to get to the

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, and we're missing days, like we

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 1>really are missing moments and days and stuff. Like I

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>was looking at my calendar and I was looking at

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the holiday party is on I think it's like the

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 1>sixteenth or something like that or whatever it is this summer.

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.559
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at it was in my calendar.

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh God, but it's like I just

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>race through and just do appointments and I don't enjoy it.

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 1>And then yesterday, like we had that pod luck. I

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>actually enjoyed hanging out with her. It was really a

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. It was good to connect with some

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.199
<v Speaker 1>people and just be able to sit there and just

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.520
<v Speaker 1>have a meal. What's up, John, How you doing?

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 6>How you doing?

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay, buddy, Shannon's the one struggling right now.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I was calling in with a similar situation. My fiance.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 6>She had a friend come over and I met her

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 6>for the first time. We had some drinks that evening,

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 6>so we didn't let her drive home. Next morning, she says,

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna go see my son because she got a

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 6>call from her son.

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 7>I'll be back.

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 6>While she was gone, she ate something with pistachios and

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 6>had an allergic reaction, went straight to the hospital. While

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 6>she was there, wound up with pneumonia and died.

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 8>Like within twenty four hours.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.320
<v Speaker 6>Here, I'm waiting for this. Here, I'm waiting for this

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 6>lady to come back this evening, you know what I'm saying.

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 8>And it never came back.

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 2>He was just that fast, perfectly healthy before that.

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:00.360
<v Speaker 8>John.

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, buddy. I'm sure it's a struggle. I'm sure

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you're you're you're having a tough time. I hope that

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>you listen to this and know that we're we're going

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to comfort you, buddy with some thoughts.

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it's for them, but it just really played

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 6>with my psychology in my mind.

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.319
<v Speaker 6>You know here I just met this lady. She says

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.880
<v Speaker 6>she's coming back, and next day I know she's passed away.

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.319
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you know, it's weird.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.440
<v Speaker 1>That's awful, buddy. Thank you, Thank you for calling in

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and sharing that. Man, we're thinking of those guys. What's up,

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>hey Chock, Hey, hey Mojoe, what's going on?

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 8>So my mom bugged us for three months to pre

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 8>come and help her pre playing her funeral. She was

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 8>not sick or anything, and eight days later she was

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 8>in a car accident and died.

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, is she what do you what do

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you equate that to?

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is it one of those things where she

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of had a a feeling or something.

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 8>So yep, she was, Yep, perfectly fine. We were planning

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 8>a trip to Sicily later in the year and wow,

0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 8>and the same thing that Shanna talked about her Apple

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 8>watch told us she was in an accident. That's how

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 8>we found out.

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>That reminds me of a story about a radio mentor

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine that I've talked about before on the air,

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>But Kid Kradick was a legend in the radio business.

0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a Hall of Famer and Kid he for years

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 1>woke up so many different people. But he also gave

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>guys like me and people like Shannon and Kevin and

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Anna somebody to listen to and aspire to be. And

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>he did a radio topic on Friday about planning your

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>own funeral and then died that weekend, and uh, And

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.679
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's almost kind of like you think to yourself,

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>like your his you know, mom planning in this funeral.

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>It's almost like something sending you this, you know what,

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to do this thing, so it makes it nice.

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's almost like maybe God's way of telling you, Hey,

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you're coming home.

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? Kelly?

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 4>So my dad we all met out for Sunday breakfast

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 4>and he was going to come to my house afterwards,

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 4>and I just had a baby, so I wasn't paying

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 4>attention to the time. My mom called me and she's like, Hey,

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 4>has your dad made it over there? I haven't heard

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 4>from him, And I was like, no, I haven't. And

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 4>it turns out he had a heart attack while he

0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 4>was driving over to my house, and he got resuscitated

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:42.199
<v Speaker 4>three times but ended up passing away in the hospital

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 4>after that.

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 6>But good.

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's been three years now, so you know,

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 4>he was just a jokester. So my best advice is

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 4>when you're feeling sad, just think us their jokes, Just

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 4>think us their personality. Just kind of be like ah, dang,

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 4>Like you know, you need to get mad for them

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.040
<v Speaker 4>not being here, but at the same time, it's just

0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 4>better just to joke around and be like, oh, he

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 4>would have done this. Yeah, Kelly, you gotta you gotta

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 4>have a positive outlook and make sure that you just

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 4>honor them.

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great as they wouldn't want to be sad. Yeah,

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 2>that's a great plan.

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>And actually something I tell Chelsea all the time, especially now,

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, since after she she got diagnosed with cancer,

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>was take pictures, like she never would want to be

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in a picture. Take a picture. Who cares how you

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like you look. Take a picture because we all

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.959
<v Speaker 1>want to remember whoever that person is through the eyes

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>of pictures, you know, and going through you know, pictures

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for you has to be amazing to be able to

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>look at some of the stuff that you guys did

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're in college, funeral home. Tom, we haven't heard

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>from you in a while. Tom, where have you been.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 7>I've called to the times and never got through. But

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 7>that's okay, okay, questions to me. Listen. You gotta remember,

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 7>you guys, we come to this world naked, and we

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.160
<v Speaker 7>come into this world with somebody needing to take care

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 7>of us. The same thing happens when we die. We're

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 7>gonna come leave this world naked and someone's gonna give

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 7>us our lands bath. You have to remember, too, every

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 7>day is a blessing. Okay, every minute that you met,

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 7>there's one minute less that you're gonna have. So you

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 7>got to put all the petty stuff behind you.

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Tom.

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 1>You look at as a customer, don't you.

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:31.200

<v Speaker 7>Several suits, but yeah, most of them are blast all

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 7>the fact that the man there is we have to

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 7>reach out to the people that we love because so

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 7>much time.

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't count sheep. When he sleeps, he counts cask

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 2>he does those caskees add up to dollars for funeral time.

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 7>You guys, you guys all joke about it, but it's

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 7>a lifestyle with funeral director. You see people that you know,

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.200
<v Speaker 7>you see people that you talk to every day. Another

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 7>week later, they're not there anymore.

0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 5>Question for you, Tom, if somebody close to you passed away,

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 5>would you be the one to them naked?

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.840

<v Speaker 7>more attation. My son is and and we have all

0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 7>license more attitions working for us. So I wouldn't be

<v Speaker 7>the one necessarily preparing you.

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're just doing the planning.

<v Speaker 5>Would you want your son to prepare you?

0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.280
<v Speaker 7>But you know that's a tough question, that really is.

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.440
