1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, Luck and Load. The

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. We're talking about

3
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: coffee shops and coffee generally. When we started looking for

4
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: a partner who would roast coffee, and we wanted a

5
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: Houston based coffee roaster provider, and we started going out

6
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: and there are there are several in Houston. There are

7
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: several really good coffees in Houston, but we landed on Cats. Now,

8
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: in fairness, they had a little bit of an advantage

9
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: because for years Magic at the Delhi downstairs served Cat's coffee,

10
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: and I had seen Kat's coffee around town k A.

11
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: T Z for years, and I thought Kats was a

12
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: national brand. I didn't know it was Avi Katz in

13
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Houston over on Carbox Lane or whatever it is, where

14
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: the where the where the beer distilleries are is, where

15
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: his his roasting facility is. I didn't know that. But

16
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: when they submitted and we tasted, we all liked that.

17
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: I think probably partly because that's the coffee we've been

18
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: drinking for years and we've grown to really really enjoy it.

19
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: So when we narrowed it down to five and then

20
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: I think three, and we looked at all. Right, we

21
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: want a coffee that we like because we're going to

22
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: be committed to drinking as part of it. We want

23
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: you to be Houston based, We want you to be

24
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: supporters of Camp Hope. And you tell us what you're

25
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: going to do. Well, they just blew it out of

26
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: the water on that, on everything they've done and continue

27
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: to do. In fact, the only time I ever argue

28
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: with Avi Katz is him wanting me to be at

29
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: something he's doing for Camp Hope that I can't be

30
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: at because I'm traveling or whatever else. But he's got

31
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: a heart for Camp Hope and I love that. But

32
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: we were talking about coffee when you were growing up.

33
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: First of all, we as a kid, my parents were

34
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: big coffee drinkers and they weren't alcohol drinkers. So in

35
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: the late afternoon coffee was a treat for my parents.

36
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: They switch over to decaf, but we didn't eat out

37
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: because you know, I think about how my parents did

38
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: so much on so little. Well, part of that is

39
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: they didn't do some of the things we take for granted. Now,

40
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: if if you drove so if you ask your parents

41
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: to take you somewhere, they would refer to burning gas,

42
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: and I got to burn my gas to take you

43
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: over there. When you're doing something for them, why can't

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: they you know that sort of thing. Well, we just

45
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: we don't even think about that. We were going to

46
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: go somewhere with his drive. Well, that adds up. We

47
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: didn't eat out as a kid almost ever. We didn't

48
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: eat out. When we did, it was a treat, even

49
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: if it was burger king, it was a treat to

50
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: be eating out. We eat out all the time. Now

51
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: that's just a guilty indulgence. But we would have never

52
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: stopped at a convenience store for something we could have

53
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: at home for a whole lot cheaper. We would have

54
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: coffee at home, and we didn't. You didn't. You didn't

55
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: do it outside. But I've always loved you know. You

56
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: see this in the old movies, kind of no country

57
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: for old men kind of thing. And you see this

58
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: in lots of movies, and you've seen it in culture

59
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: where you walk in and there's a couple o in

60
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: the in the small town and there's a couple of

61
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: old guys sitting over at the table and maybe they're

62
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: playing cards or dominoes, are reading the paper or talking

63
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: about the high school football team, and that is just

64
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: a simpler time. And they're drinking their coffee. And this

65
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: is pre Starbucks. You remember those old It's not really

66
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: a coffee shop, it's it'd be it would be more

67
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: like the little might be the farmer's murcantill. You know

68
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Ram Hey there, Bill, Hey, you doing?

69
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: Hey what those corn crops looking pretty good?

70
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

71
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: Well, you know we take a dab by day.

72
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Hey, you got a warm cup of coffee? Back then,

73
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Bill say that Mustad's going to get it done this

74
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: year lost our quarterback, and that running.

75
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: Back time.

76
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: To the basics of the Since we're on the subject

77
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: to simpler times and quirks of country folks. When the

78
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: pope passed, let's see, that was back in April, I

79
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: guessed at eighty eight. He had burial requests that became public,

80
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: and they were pretty simple. He wanted to be laid

81
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: to rest at the papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major

82
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: in Rome, where six other popes are buried. He wanted

83
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: a simple, undecorated tomb with only the inscription Franciscos according

84
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: to the Vatican, and that got a lot of attention

85
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: for this sort of humility. That was the statement I

86
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: think he was trying to send. He didn't want adornment,

87
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: he didn't want pomping circumstance. And we were talking and

88
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: had been talking since then about interesting burial requests, and

89
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: I brought up to the group that I don't know

90
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: what happens, kind of like homeschooling. I don't know what happened.

91
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: When I was growing up, nobody was cremated. If somebody

92
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: was cremated, they were weird, right, There was something about it,

93
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: kind of like homeschool. Somebody was homeschool. They were weird.

94
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Now every other family, it feels like, is home especially conservatives.

95
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, people, I'm just surprised

96
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: how many people of friends of mine and their families

97
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: are cremated today. And that just became sort of a thing.

98
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: And I don't know how that happened. I don't know

99
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: when that happened. I don't know how that happened. I

100
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: don't have a judgment of it one way or another.

101
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: It just became the case that a lot of people

102
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: in our circles are now cremated. And I never I

103
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: was part of the conversation how that became the case

104
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: when when that occurred. But we were talking in our family,

105
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: in our group about odd funeral and burial requests. You know,

106
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Pooki liked to play dominoes in the front yard with

107
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 1: his homies, so he wanted to be seated in a

108
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: game of dominoes at his funeral. I don't know, I've

109
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: noticed that one of the things in southern Black funerals

110
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: that they're doing now is propping the body up at

111
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: the at the funeral. And look, I don't care. You

112
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: grieve the way you want to grieve. It's not a judgment,

113
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: but it is worth noting. Right, Uncle Bobby had a

114
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: hit record in the sixties, so he wonted that song

115
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: played while he was being lowered in the ground. More

116
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: power to you. I mean, it's the grieving process, and

117
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: it's whatever helps the person grieve by giving a last

118
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: you know, granting the last wish of that person. But

119
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: everybody had and I won't share what some of them

120
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: were because Ramon had some weird ones in his family.

121
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: But if somebody you know had an odd funeral or

122
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: burial request, or you do, we'd like to hear it.

123
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Seven one, three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand weirder the

124
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: better seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand. You

125
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: are listening to Michael Berry shaw.

126
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: Wall.

127
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: You wish you to let your well never alright. Weird

128
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: funeral requests ventriloquist and puppet. My son in law's uncle died.

129
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: His uncle's best friend was a ventriloquist with a puppet. Well,

130
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: nobody knew this. The funeral starts, the ventriloquist and the

131
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: puppet give the eulogy and a performance very very uncomfortable,

132
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: hard to keep from life laughing. Well maybe you were

133
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: supposed to laugh. Maybe maybe that was the plan. Use

134
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: an old Jewish tradition to have what we would today

135
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: call a roast where, uh you would you would basically

136
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: poke fun at the recently deceased, and uh that was

137
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: that was part of it's part of the part of

138
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: the grieving process I have noticed of late. Maybe this

139
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: is a long standing tradition. But in my family, we

140
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: were deep grievers. We were, you know, whalers, very very

141
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: sad at funerals. You know, you try to keep a

142
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: stiff upper lip, but you know, poor Southern people that

143
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: lots of lots of you know, very deep sadness in death,

144
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: and that was your way of showing how much you

145
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: cared for this person. I have noticed of late. Maybe

146
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: this is a big city thing, Maybe this is a

147
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: rich people thing. Maybe this's a modern thing. I don't know.

148
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: I have noticed more celebrations of life and fewer handwringing,

149
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: teeth gnashing, lamentations and wailing. And I must say I

150
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: prefer that. I do. I prefer a happier occasion to

151
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: remember what we've lost. Terry, what is your weird burial

152
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: request that you saw or have.

153
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: It's my best friend's mom and she's still with us,

154
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 5: but my friend called the other day and she goes,

155
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: you're not going to believe what her mom did. She's

156
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: planning her funeral and she wants us all to see

157
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: Christmas music at the funeral. And I just love that,

158
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 5: and her kids will it too. It's unusual, but I

159
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 5: can see where that would make everyone there happy, and

160
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 5: I think that's what she wants.

161
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. Is she is she near death

162
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: or is this just something that she's planning like her Oh.

163
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 5: No, she just yeah, it's her estate planning. She's a

164
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 5: very healthy woman in her eighties, and you know, she

165
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 5: just loves Christmas music, So that's what she wants.

166
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: I think that's fantastic. I love it. I do you

167
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: know it's a and the fact that you're fulfilling her wish,

168
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: the fact that she has prepared this moment and doesn't

169
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: want you sad, but wants you to enjoy something that

170
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: she also enjoys. I will tell you, I think that

171
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: singing as a group is a very cathartic, happy, shared

172
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: fellowship and joy. I really enjoy it. That's why I

173
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: love to do listener events and get on stage. I

174
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: have to have a couple of pops before I do it,

175
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: but get on stage and everybody sing together. I think

176
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: that's so much fun. I grew up in the church

177
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: choir and everybody in church saying, you pulled out your

178
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Baptist hymnal and everybody sang together. Christmas Caroline, we did that.

179
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: You go to the houses and knock on the door,

180
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: and everybody be so excited, and you know they'd sing

181
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: along with you. I have always enjoyed. I think one

182
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: of the most powerful commercials of all time is the

183
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: Coca Cola commercial. I'd like to teach the world to sing,

184
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: and then they brought that commercial back. But you can't

185
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: watch that commercial without being in a good mood, without

186
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: it improving your mood. Everybody there singing together, happy together.

187
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: I love that and I think there's definitely something to

188
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: be said for that. Let's go to Becky because that

189
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: was Tommy's girlfriend in Coward of the County and those

190
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Gatland boys. Well, you know, thank you, Welcome to the progost.

191
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: What is your weird burial request you'd like to share?

192
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 6: Well, it's not mine. It's my dad had a relative

193
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 6: long time ago that died in a car racket and

194
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 6: probably in the fifties or sixties, and her request was

195
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 6: to be buried in her neglige in her ferrari, and

196
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 6: they did that. If you google it you can see

197
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 6: the information about it. And I believe it was in California.

198
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: And they buried the car, yes, and her and her neighborhood.

199
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 7: Right.

200
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: Oh my, okay, Now.

204
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,920

Speaker 1: within the grave to deter grave robbers. According to report,

210
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that.

211
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: Huh.

212
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: How about that she was buried in a white.

213
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I forgot it was in San Antonio. I've

214
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 6: been to that gravesite and uh. Anyway, so that's my

215
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 6: strange and that.

216
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Is that is your pharaoh first cousin.

217
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 6: I believe it was a cousin. Yes, uh, huh, he

218
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 6: was seventy seven, he was.

219
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 5: Probably in his thirties.

220
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: Maybe forties. Uh, and I was, I was, I'm twenty four.

221
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: This story he had, this story was covered at the time,

222
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: and it has been covered many many times since then.

223
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: Here's an article out of San Antoni from twenty twenty

224
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: one about it. Here's another one from twenty twenty three.

225
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: This thing, this continues what we fifty years later, it

226
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: continues to get attention. How about that? Well, that that's

227
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: a way a wager, you know, when we asked for

228
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: your strange burial request doesn't have to be yours somebody's

229
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: strange burial requests. I did not expect to get the

230
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: socialite married in a negligee in a ferrari, But here

231

Speaker 8: Mitch michael Berry, genius.

234
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: My friend Chance, my superstar quarterback Woodlands, who then quarterbacked

235
00:15:55,040 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: at University of Texas, says, my dad's from Norway, so

236
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: we've always loved Viking culture. I've long said I wanted

237
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: a Viking burial. Don't know if I could pull it off,

238
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: but I'm a little concerned at how excited my son

239
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: is to be one of the archers. I don't know.

240
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: I don't know the process there, do you Reramo? No,

241
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how the archers are involved, But this

242
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: little concern how excited his son is about it. Stanley

243
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Wright's my mom asked everyone to wear Astros gear. She

244
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: was dressed in a pink Astros jersey. She had toilet

245
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: paper and peppermints in her casket because she constantly feared

246
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: she'd run out. She wanted a birthday cake and we

247
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: all sang Happy Birthday. She was a character Oh my,

248
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: they're coming in fast and furious. Let's go to the

249
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: calls first, shall we. Let's go down the line, Kurt. Kurt,

250
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: you're on the Michael Berry Show. What was the strange

251
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: burial request you witnessed?

252
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 8: Hey, Michael, I'm it's a personal reques west myself. I

253
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 8: grew up in Southeast Texas, just like you, and I'm

254
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 8: an avid outdoorsman. And I've told my family that whenever

255
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 8: I die, go ahead and cremate me. And stuffed my

256
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 8: ashes in a shotgun shell, and when the family's out

257
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 8: there making one last hunt in the marshes of Southeast Texas,

258
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 8: will just blow my ashes over a duck pond at

259
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 8: the next flock that passes by.

260
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: That's what hunter s Thompson had done. And he had

261
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp fire of the cannon with his with his ashes.

262
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: So I'm obviously not an uncommon hunter. S Thompson loved guns,

263
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: and so they had a ceremony at al Farm, which

264
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: is in Woody Creek where he lived in Colorado, and

265
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: he wanted Johnny Depp to fire the canon of his

266
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: He took his own life. I he was only sixty

267
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: seven years old. He took his own life after threat

268
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: need to do so for quite some time, and he

269
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: had written out everything that he wanted done, and they did.

270
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: They had a rather debauched ceremony involving all sorts of

271
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: drugs and pyrotechnics and guns firing off, and then there

272
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: was the shooting of the of the cremated remains. Per

273
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: his wishes, apparently down to the tee ron, what is yours, sir?

274
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 9: Well, this is the way I would like to go, sir,

275
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 9: I would like to go. I would like to be

276
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 9: in my bedroom with my loving wife, and I would

277
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 9: like to pass away on the upstroke. That way I

278
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 9: get two more when I'm gone.

279
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: There you go. Chance Marck has answered the question as

280
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: to Viking burials. Viking burials are at sea. They put

281
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: them on a raft in a of hay. They push

282
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: it out into the water and flaming arrows are shot

283
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: to set it ablaze and you drift off to sea. Okay,

284
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: now we don't Mike, what is your strange burial request

285
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: that you have or have heard of?

286
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 10: I don't know that there's it has been brought up,

287
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 10: but there's about eight or ten cadaver labs in the

288
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 10: Houston Medical Center and I want to be used for research.

289
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 10: And then they when they get through the body, they

290
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 10: cremate it and ask your relatives if they want the ashes.

291
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 7: And I've told my kids.

292
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 10: I don't care what they do with them, so but

293
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 10: you know, we but having a contributed to medical research

294
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 10: would be my request.

295
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: I think that's very noble. Good sir, I think that's

296
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: very noble. Indeed, I know a lot of people have

297
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: withdrawn the organ donor designation. I've heard this to be

298
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: the case because of some cases where people felt that

299
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: they didn't get the end of life treatment because someone

300
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: wanted this or that. I don't know if that's true

301
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: or not. I don't know if that's a if that's

302
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: an urban legend or not. But I do know that

303
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: people have told me that they have withdrawn their organ donor.

304
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: Were you an organ donor? Ramon me too? But it

305
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: would be kind of awful if you laying there about

306
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: half dead and they go, oh, but he's mine. Wouldn't

307
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: be my liver or my lungs. I'm not sure what

308
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: I got a good ticker, they might say, but he

309
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,560

Speaker 1: teeth out. Yeah, that's yeah, it could happen, URTIs, what's yours?

313
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 7: Well, it wasn't my idea, but I like this person's

314
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 7: idea of after the ceremony or whatever it may be,

315
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 7: everybody would reach up and eat their seat and there

316
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 7: would be a taser and I would then there'll be

317
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 7: announced saying the last person standing gets my Harley.

318
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: Oh. I like that. That's kind of a yeah, that's

319
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: kind of a hunger game sort of deal out. That's

320
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: a that's cool, Famous, you're up, good morning.

321
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 11: My request was for some mechanically engineered the individual to

322
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 11: actually what I'm laying in the coffin and there's a

323
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 11: momoil service for me to rise up in my head

324
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 11: and by the cup under my body, who would move

325
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 11: towards the individuals that are viewing me. And then when

326
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 11: they close the coffin, which I've heard that it was done,

327
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 11: but my request has been for twenty years or more,

328
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 11: was to actually do that is, when they close the coffin,

329
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 11: say please let me out, levey out please. But I've

330
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 11: been done already.

331
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: I have heard versions of that and people pulling off

332
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: that prank of it. It's kind of a twisted sense

333
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: of humor that pulls that off. But I've got a

334
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: lot of friends that have twisted senses of humor. Laura,

00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: That is really that is really cool that they did that.

353
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: We can probably if it was twelve years ago, I

354
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: could probably find out. Let me ask you this, what

370
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: If it's every late at night and you're missing people

371
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: you've lost and feeling a little maudeling morose, you can

372
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: go to YouTube and you can put in Jimmy Cliff

373
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: Many Rivers to Cross, and you will see among the

374
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: live versions of him performing that song, you will see

375
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: across about a thirty year period, him singing at three

376
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: different times at three different ages in his life. One

377
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: is the early probably recorded in a Jamaican recording studio

378
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: where he was splitting his time between there in London.

379
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: The second one on Top of the Pops or something

380
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: some English show, probably twenty years later, and then the

381
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: third one about ten years later on what must be

382
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: not Letterman but a late night show. It's an interesting

383
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: it's an interesting time lapse to perform, and I love

384
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: that song so much. It's a really interesting thing to do.

385
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Pat Ramon doesn't tell me

386
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: if it's a man or a woman, so I'll just

387
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: hold off on that. We're talking about strange burial request.

388
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: And the reason was back in April when Pope Francis

389
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: gave hit the dictates to the Vatican of how he

390
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: wanted to be buried, which was very simple. We talked

391
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: as a team and I figured, if it's something that

392
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: we care this much about, you probably would too. And

393
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: I have not been disappointed. So let's go to Pat. Pat,

394
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.

395
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 13: To piggyback on the gentleman who called about donating his body,

396
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 13: And I'm in the process of doing that, and so

397
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 13: I looked up donating my body to science at the

398
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 13: Baylor College of Medicine website, and there's a lot of

399
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 13: forms to fill out and there's a lot of caveats.

400
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 13: I guess if depending on if you have all your organs.

401
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 14: Or you have to fill out all that kind of

402
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 14: that kind of stuff, and if they don't accept the body,

403
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 14: then you have to have alter a backup plan.

404
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 13: So that anyway, and that's what I'm doing.

405
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: So interesting, very interesting. Are you in good health or

406
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: is this something you're preparing for in the near future.

407
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 13: No, I'm in pretty good health.

408
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:10,880
