0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's Mojo in the Morning show. A lot

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of times you like to pregame before you go to things.

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>This is an interesting pregame though, Anna.

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So my friends and I back in the day,

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 2>when we were younger, we would find a reason to

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 2>pregame any event. We're going to the movies, We're pregaming it.

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.600
<v Speaker 2>We're going for a walk, let's pregame the walk. Like

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 2>it was always something and we were drinking a lot. Yesterday,

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>one of my friends that I used to pregame with

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 2>was over at my apartment and they were like, I

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 2>gotta go. Like they had a viewing or like a

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>funeral or something.

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Their aunt died and they're like, do you have anything

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 2>to drink? I'm like, what are you talking about. They're like,

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I want to pregame the funeral. I'm like, you're pregaming

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>a funeral all things. And he or she's like, yeah, my,

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>my whole family, like we're gonna go get drinks before it.

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 2>Like it wasn't just them, her mom, her dad, like

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>they were all going to the bar prior to the

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>viewing to get turned before the funeral.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 3>That's that's an Irish wake.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Right, jam Yeah, I.

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Thought it was the craziest thing. I was like, we

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 2>pregamed a lot of things in our lives, but a funeral.

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you know that my mom's funeral, my dad hired

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a bartender.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Why you guys, if you're still alive when I die,

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>please please please get me a good bartender. Oh yeah, well,

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 3>I guess it would be for you, it wouldn't be

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>for me.

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>That was part of the thing that my mom. My

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>mom knew she was going to die, and my mom

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 1>told my dad she like, I want an Irish wake,

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And so my mom had two nights of wakes. My

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>dad had two nights of the bartender set up like

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>one of those you know how they have, like the

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 1>party supply places come with a bar that shows up. Yeah,

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.480
<v Speaker 1>because they didn't. They didn't want to set it up

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>on a casket or anything like that. Yeah.

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I think this was a little different though, because your

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.720
<v Speaker 2>mom wanted that.

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Right right, Well, this one is random, person. I think

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>you got a pre game before almost anything, because sometimes

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you need to go with a little bit of a

0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>buzz to things like start pregaming our show. Well does

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I'll tell you it in a while, But I'm

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>always down for a shotski. I'm going to pregame Colleen's

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Big Things that Happened Life Quarter today.

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Anna, you weren't a part of the show when this happened,

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 3>But my grandma used to be a fixture on the

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 3>show and she passed away. Got it's been overly ten

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.800
<v Speaker 3>to fifteen years now, and at her funeral, members of

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.119
<v Speaker 3>this morning show were tailgating at the funeral home.

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Which I loved. She would have loved it. It was

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the best of failgating. Like I'll never forget, was that

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Alan Parker. Where was the funeral home? So it was

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Fletch and myself and Spike and like all a big

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>group of us and everybody showed up for work dressed

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>in the regular clothes, and so going to the funeral,

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>we went right from the radio station. We changed in

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>the parking.

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Lot of the Weis's funeral home.

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>In the fun the funniest was the back tailgate of

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>my truck. My SUV was open and we're all kind

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>of staying there and there's family members like pulling in

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>and looking at us in the back of the barking lot,

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and it looked like something like Shannon said a tailgate

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>at a Lions game where it's like, the only thing

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have was a grill there barbecuing at the time.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 2>That sounds fun.

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 4>I want to borrow at my funeral now. I've never

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 4>thought about it, but that's the way I want to

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 4>go out celebrate me past the bottle.

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>What's up, Carrie, how you doing?

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm good. So many many years ago, a good friend

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 5>that was very popular at our school and everyone was

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 5>friends with this gentleman. He had died in an accident

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 5>and he was thirty two years old. It was the

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 5>biggest blizzard. I can't remember the exact year, massive blizzard.

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 5>We had like feet of snow we were getting and

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 5>their family runted a giant U haul and had it

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 5>in the back of the funeral home. And at the

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 5>viewing people were going back there and they had take

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 5>the beer and pizzas.

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And oh my god, they.

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Put a disco ball in there.

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>What about jumping castles? Can you have those? I just

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>googled by the way a party wedding, somebody has a

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 1>jumping castle at at one of the weddings that showed

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:04.559
<v Speaker 1>up one.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Now they have these beautiful just all white ones with

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 3>like white ball pits and stuff.

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, your son Joe Carbolo having one of those at

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>the wedding.

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>At the wedding, absolutely at the reception. Really yeah, I

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what that would be. That would be an

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>interesting one all of a sudden, the bounce house and

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>going there. How about how about it at a funeral though?

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Could you imagine that? Have you guys ever had to

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>be a pall bearer at a Idea?

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, my uncle the people who carry out the castles.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just did that last year. So we had

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 1>to do that for my uncle Art And uh, I

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>gotta be honest with you, I wasn't very good at

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>holding onto that. It was tilting a little bit. Well,

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>they gave us these white gloves to wear like we

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>had to wear these gloves. Yeah, it was slippering, you know,

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>slipping right.

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 6>Out of you.

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 3>I would never want that responsibility.

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you imagine dropped it?

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm sure that's happened before.

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 4>That's why you got to be in the middle, you

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 4>know what I mean? Because then the people on the

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 4>age is they got to hold the most weight. You

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 4>can kind of ease up a little bit.

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Erica played past the bottle at her dad's funeral, Is

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>that right?

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we had a bottle of whiskey that we.

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 7>Just kept in the back room, you know where like

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 7>the family goes, and we would just go back there

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 7>and make a swig every once in a while.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Was Dad a drinker? No, not at all, but you guys.

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that day we were. Yeah, you know what, it

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 1>gives you comfort. I always say that the best thing

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 1>of going to, like especially a close family friend's funeral

0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>or somebody, is afterwards. The after thing going to there's

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>two different kinds that happen. The more traditional one is

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.279

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.160
