Speaker 1: All right, it's Mojo in the Morning show. A lot
Speaker 1: of times you like to pregame before you go to things.
Speaker 1: This is an interesting pregame though, Anna.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So my friends and I back in the day,
Speaker 2: when we were younger, we would find a reason to
Speaker 2: pregame any event. We're going to the movies, We're pregaming it.
Speaker 2: We're going for a walk, let's pregame the walk. Like
Speaker 2: it was always something and we were drinking a lot. Yesterday,
Speaker 2: one of my friends that I used to pregame with
Speaker 2: was over at my apartment and they were like, I
Speaker 2: gotta go. Like they had a viewing or like a
Speaker 2: funeral or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Their aunt died and they're like, do you have anything
Speaker 2: to drink? I'm like, what are you talking about. They're like,
Speaker 2: I want to pregame the funeral. I'm like, you're pregaming
Speaker 2: a funeral all things. And he or she's like, yeah, my,
Speaker 2: my whole family, like we're gonna go get drinks before it.
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't just them, her mom, her dad, like
Speaker 2: they were all going to the bar prior to the
Speaker 2: viewing to get turned before the funeral.
Speaker 3: That's that's an Irish wake.
Speaker 1: Right, jam Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Thought it was the craziest thing. I was like, we
Speaker 2: pregamed a lot of things in our lives, but a funeral.
Speaker 1: Do you know that my mom's funeral, my dad hired
Speaker 1: a bartender.
Speaker 3: Why you guys, if you're still alive when I die,
Speaker 3: please please please get me a good bartender. Oh yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I guess it would be for you, it wouldn't be
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 1: That was part of the thing that my mom. My
Speaker 1: mom knew she was going to die, and my mom
Speaker 1: told my dad she like, I want an Irish wake,
Speaker 1: And so my mom had two nights of wakes. My
Speaker 1: dad had two nights of the bartender set up like
Speaker 1: one of those you know how they have, like the
Speaker 1: party supply places come with a bar that shows up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because they didn't. They didn't want to set it up
Speaker 1: on a casket or anything like that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think this was a little different though, because your
Speaker 2: mom wanted that.
Speaker 1: Right right, Well, this one is random, person. I think
Speaker 1: you got a pre game before almost anything, because sometimes
Speaker 1: you need to go with a little bit of a
Speaker 1: buzz to things like start pregaming our show. Well does
Speaker 1: sometimes I'll tell you it in a while, But I'm
Speaker 1: always down for a shotski. I'm going to pregame Colleen's
Speaker 1: Big Things that Happened Life Quarter today.
Speaker 3: Anna, you weren't a part of the show when this happened,
Speaker 3: But my grandma used to be a fixture on the
Speaker 3: show and she passed away. Got it's been overly ten
Speaker 3: to fifteen years now, and at her funeral, members of
Speaker 3: this morning show were tailgating at the funeral home.
Speaker 1: Which I loved. She would have loved it. It was
Speaker 1: the best of failgating. Like I'll never forget, was that
Speaker 1: Alan Parker. Where was the funeral home? So it was
Speaker 1: Fletch and myself and Spike and like all a big
Speaker 1: group of us and everybody showed up for work dressed
Speaker 1: in the regular clothes, and so going to the funeral,
Speaker 1: we went right from the radio station. We changed in
Speaker 1: the parking.
Speaker 3: Lot of the Weis's funeral home.
Speaker 1: In the fun the funniest was the back tailgate of
Speaker 1: my truck. My SUV was open and we're all kind
Speaker 1: of staying there and there's family members like pulling in
Speaker 1: and looking at us in the back of the barking lot,
Speaker 1: and it looked like something like Shannon said a tailgate
Speaker 1: at a Lions game where it's like, the only thing
Speaker 1: we didn't have was a grill there barbecuing at the time.
Speaker 2: That sounds fun.
Speaker 4: I want to borrow at my funeral now. I've never
Speaker 4: thought about it, but that's the way I want to
Speaker 4: go out celebrate me past the bottle.
Speaker 1: What's up, Carrie, how you doing?
Speaker 5: I'm good. So many many years ago, a good friend
Speaker 5: that was very popular at our school and everyone was
Speaker 5: friends with this gentleman. He had died in an accident
Speaker 5: and he was thirty two years old. It was the
Speaker 5: biggest blizzard. I can't remember the exact year, massive blizzard.
Speaker 5: We had like feet of snow we were getting and
Speaker 5: their family runted a giant U haul and had it
Speaker 5: in the back of the funeral home. And at the
Speaker 5: viewing people were going back there and they had take
Speaker 5: the beer and pizzas.
Speaker 1: And oh my god, they.
Speaker 2: Put a disco ball in there.
Speaker 1: What about jumping castles? Can you have those? I just
Speaker 1: googled by the way a party wedding, somebody has a
Speaker 1: jumping castle at at one of the weddings that showed
Speaker 1: up one.
Speaker 3: Now they have these beautiful just all white ones with
Speaker 3: like white ball pits and stuff.
Speaker 4: Honestly, your son Joe Carbolo having one of those at
Speaker 4: the wedding.
Speaker 1: At the wedding, absolutely at the reception. Really yeah, I
Speaker 1: you know what that would be. That would be an
Speaker 1: interesting one all of a sudden, the bounce house and
Speaker 1: going there. How about how about it at a funeral though?
Speaker 1: Could you imagine that? Have you guys ever had to
Speaker 1: be a pall bearer at a Idea?
Speaker 4: Yeah, my uncle the people who carry out the castles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just did that last year. So we had
Speaker 1: to do that for my uncle Art And uh, I
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you, I wasn't very good at
Speaker 1: holding onto that. It was tilting a little bit. Well,
Speaker 1: they gave us these white gloves to wear like we
Speaker 1: had to wear these gloves. Yeah, it was slippering, you know,
Speaker 1: slipping right.
Speaker 6: Out of you.
Speaker 3: I would never want that responsibility.
Speaker 1: Do you imagine dropped it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure that's happened before.
Speaker 4: That's why you got to be in the middle, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean? Because then the people on the
Speaker 4: age is they got to hold the most weight. You
Speaker 4: can kind of ease up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Erica played past the bottle at her dad's funeral, Is
Speaker 1: that right?
Speaker 6: Yeah, we had a bottle of whiskey that we.
Speaker 7: Just kept in the back room, you know where like
Speaker 7: the family goes, and we would just go back there
Speaker 7: and make a swig every once in a while.
Speaker 2: Was Dad a drinker? No, not at all, but you guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that day we were. Yeah, you know what, it
Speaker 1: gives you comfort. I always say that the best thing
Speaker 1: of going to, like especially a close family friend's funeral
Speaker 1: or somebody, is afterwards. The after thing going to there's
Speaker 1: two different kinds that happen. The more traditional one is
Speaker 1: they passed like plates of mostacholi around the people. The
Speaker 1: other one is they passed big bottles bourbon, you know,
Speaker 1: and you kind of like do some drinking and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So well, thank you, yeah, yeah, yeah, go
Speaker 1: ahead after.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, after a lot of my aunts
Speaker 2: and uncle's funerals, we would go to the bar after
Speaker 2: as well and drink to them post gaming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, Thanks for the call. What's up, Anika, Hey, guys,
