Like at first, when I first 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.040 started the job, I was sad. I was like this 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:34.320 is like awful. But then I started like being like 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.320 annoyed by it. It's like like I don't know, people 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.080 were like showing up and it was always just the 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.840 same story, like people just coming up to me and 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.760 like you know what, like you know, pets are actually 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.080 like a pet dying is actually sadder than a human dying. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:54.240 And I'm just like what are you talking about?

And my boss she said no, we just 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.080 do a cremation. And then she's just like staying on 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:30.360 the phone, was like Okay, well I'm gonna cut open 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:36.880 my cat and see how she died. And then she's yeah, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.760 And then my boss was like, don't do that if 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.320 you do that, we're not gonna like take your animal. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.159 And then she's like she just hangs up the phone, 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.080 and then her husband calls back like ten minutes later 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.919 and was like, yeah, so she cut open the cat 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.280 and I can we still bring the cat? And I'm like, 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:01.400 what is going on? And then my boss was just 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:03.880 going and just goes tore them and it was like 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:05.479 all right, you got to like put it in a 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.560 bag and like put it in a box and like 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.000 we're just gonna put the cat in there. And they 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.880 completely did not do that. So they just showed up 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:19.479 with the cat just completely desecrated, and it was very 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.039 crazy to see. And this lady was so drunk, like 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.720 so incredibly drunk. It was bad. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.080 She was she was drunk. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.120 Yeah, she was just hammered, like completely hand and it 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.159 was like ten o'clock in the morning. 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:41.360 Can you imagine drunkenly cutting open a cat? That sounds 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:48.560 I mean, that's probably not the best moment in her life. 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:53.520 Yeah, no, no, that's definitely. I don't know. And her 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.800 husband was like super chill about it, like and it 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.839 made That's what creeped me out the most, how silver 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:02.120 husband was about it. 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:04.560 I feel like that. 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.320 I feel like those two probably balance each other out. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.120 I don't know what it is, but that's I don't know. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.159 I don't know why, but that sounds like a good 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:21.320 relationship actually, because that that lady needs him as her 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:26.400 rock because she I can only imagine. I mean, I 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.200 think that that guy sounds like he's keeping her from 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:30.080 cutting up people. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:35.720 Yeah, I hope he's keeping a good eye on her, 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:39.600 because I worry about them sometimes. I look back at 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.839 that moment and I don't. 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:42.880 I don't know. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.520 Now now when you saw the cut open cat was 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.400 just at a point where you were like, oh, Okay, 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.240 that's just what it is, or where you like, oh, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.400 that's pretty fucked up. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.120 It was pretty fucked up because I love cats personally, 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.560 and at that time my cat was still alive, and 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.200 I'm like, oh, great, now I'm gonna look at my 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.360 hand and be like, oh, so that's what's inside of 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:10.239 the cat. Huh Yeah, but yeah, I don't. I quickly 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.400 got out of that profession. I am actually kind of 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.480 glad that I did take that job because it really 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.480 showed me that I don't want to be in funeral service. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:27.920 That was good. Do you uh, oh what was it, Oh, yes, 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.280 your girlfriend broke up with you over it? What happened there? 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:37.679 Yeah, So I noticed like when we would be like out, 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.320 she didn't like it when I whenever like I would 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.920 meet like someone like new that like you know, if 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.880 she was like introducing me, and then they would be like, oh, 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:49.960 so what do you do? And then I had mentioned like, oh, 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.040 I am like in funeral service, and then like that 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:59.080 always sparks up like a whole discussion. Like I started 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.240 getting really annoyed by it. And that's when I was like, 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:02.840 do I really want to do this the rest of 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:06.360 my life? Have to explain why I did this and 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.440 why I'm in this. And I just like saw her 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:13.880 face and like she just looked like she because we 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.520 when we first started dating, I was not in that. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.680 I was like just in community college. And then I 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:26.120 made the switch in the middle of our relationship, and 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.040 that's when I really saw the decline. I think she 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.520 was like just skeeved out by the whole thing. 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:41.319 How has this profession affected your view of your own death? 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.520 Not really by much.

I think my 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.360 eagerness for you to tell me dead dog stories maybe 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.280 comes off like I don't like dogs, but I do. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:14.960 And I would never kill a dog in my car, 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.000 and I hope you wouldn't either, And I hope everyone 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:19.359 listening wouldn't do that. 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.600 Yeah, please don't kill dogs. 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:26.560 What's your name again? 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:28.640 Sam? 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:30.280 Sam?

That actually might be 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.320 one of the most fucked up things I've heard on 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:52.400 the show. That's that's just insane. I have I don't 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:58.359 know what to make of that. People are crazy, Like 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:03.240 I don't know, Well, it kind of makes sense when you, like, 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.040 like you ever go on Facebook and you see crazy people. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.040 They're not just in your computer, they're in real life, 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:17.560 and real life there's crazy, fucked up people.

That's gotta be what. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:36.240 It's gotta be, a not particularly desirable profession, but somebody 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:41.840 has to do it. So I respect the dog cremation 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:44.320 people because someone has to do it, and no one, 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:50.080 I don't think wants to.

And the rest 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:55.800 of the day I was like, you know, I think 0:22:55.840 --> 0:23:00.000 anytime you're not bleeding out and dying, you're doing pretty 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:06.119 damn good.
