1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Hear more of the boys on the full podcast.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Just scroll out, heytes Will and what Hope having a

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: wonderful Friday Woods. Possibly the most fascinating phone call we've

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: ever had on this show is from a man who's

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: called the Coffin Confessor. He's a guy who people bring

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: into the inner sanctum as they're on their deathbed. Yep,

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: they reveal to him something that they don't have the guts,

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: the courage. Maybe they don't want to be there when

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: this thing gets revealed, so they say to them, Hey,

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: look after I die, can you stand up at the

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: funeral when I'm in a coffin and tell everybody this

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: thing about me. It's a wild concept, but the more

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: we've spoken about it, and we've had Bill on the

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 2: show before, the Coffin Confessor, it almost seems a bit

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: logical and you can see why people would do it.

16
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: He's him on the show previously, though, talking to us

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: about some of the most hectic confessions he's had to reveal.

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: The most tepic I suppose it would be telling it

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: bloke that their children what it? Oh Jesus, that was

20
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: probably the most teach.

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: How did you go about that? Was it? Like, you know,

22
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: a game of Duck duck goose, heads down, thumbs up

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: for what did you just point about?

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Fortunately she told the kids before she passed, so everything

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: was about four decks. Everyone has a skeleton in the closets.

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: The coffin confessor joins us on the phone right now, Hello, Bill.

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: You know guys.

28
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 3: Hello, gooday, Bill, we're really really good.

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: Now.

30
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: I think I should inform people that Will actually has

31
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: hired you to reveal some skeletons that are in his

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: close no doubt funeral, long long way down the track.

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: But we obviously won't get into that now. Bill, But

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: you made.

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 2: At any time. That is all I'm saying. I actually

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: could die at any time, and I think we all

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: need to accept that. So you'd be you'd be the

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: smart money, would be getting Bill in now totally, just

39
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: in case you want to tell somebody just on.

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: That Bill, how many how many well I guess deaths

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: are you waiting on currently? How many people have hired

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: you that are still alive?

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: Roughly, I've got about fourteen and a half thousand across

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the globe.

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: Fourteen and a half thousand people I currently hired you,

46
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: and I haven't dined.

47
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Yet what Yeah, that's about right. I mean, look, I

48
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: mean once it hit the UK US, it just went nuts.

49
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: Phil, Well you're joking. Sorry, that is at least ten

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: thousand times bigger than what I thought it was going

51
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: to be.

52
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: Oh. Look, I think what happened is that, you know,

53
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: COVID the pandemic scared a lot of people and they

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: started thinking about death. And when they were searching, I

55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: came up everywhere, and they started emailing me and asking me, wow,

56
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: we are certain things, and then they'd start hiring me.

57
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: And it just became as that happened in the time

58
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: since we last spoke to you, mate, because I feel

59
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: like the last time we spoke to you, this wasn't

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: well I don't know how many clients he had then

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: we didn't ask you, but fourteen thousand sounds like a

62
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: lot of bit are you running a whole office? Like,

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: what's the.

64
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: It's not like they're all, like you say, they're not

65
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: ready to die. They're not. You know, they just hopped

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: me with the intent that they've got something to get

67
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 1: off their chests. Yeah, they put pen to paper obviously, well,

68
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, emails and a lot of them send the

69
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: video along as well.

70
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: Die quickly though, mate, Like you're gonna have to do

71
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: what Xander does in one night with the presents.

72
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, fortunately, and it's unfortunate. All fortunately. You know,

73
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: when someone dies, you've got a week or two to

74
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: prepare the you know, the f Yeah, and not only that, Yeah,

75
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I've got to travel a lot. But at the same time,

76
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: my agreements aren't always for the funeral crash. It could

77
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: be the will reading the wake, it could be a

78
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: face to face.

79
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: Sure is that different? Different price points at aag like

80
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: is funeral the most expensive.

81
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Or yeah, definitely funerals the most expensive, But then you've

82
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: got the face to face, the most face to face

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: I've done. Oh yeah, it was a little bit expensive.

84
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day. It was also

85
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: a lady who was a mother who confessed to her

86
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,000

Speaker 2: guy and tell him that face to face?

100
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,360

00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: Bill? Well, we realized why he was up?

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: Wow, of course you do? You puy like you just

104
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: do you follow him around for a bit obviously, no

105
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: what he looks like and you walk up to him

106
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: and you buy him a beer? Or do you you know?

107
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: I mean, like, how do you look?

108
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: I've been given a specific instruction and who were years

109
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: and everything about him? And I am the private investigator,

110
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: so yeah, I do.

111
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

112
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: When you get payment? Do you get payment when they

113
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: hire you when they're alive?

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: I get payment up front as soon as the contract

115
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: signed and the video has done between me and my client.

116
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: So then technically you wouldn't have to do it like

117
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: because you know they've died, then they want to know

118
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: about the contract. You've already received the money.

119
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: Technically, technically I could probably just do a runner. But

120
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I get paid very well.

121
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: And you know there is I mean, really I don't

122
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: want to rob the dead because I'm going to be

123
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: there one day.

124
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: It's true, That's very true.

125
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: A registered marriage, Celebrant and Justice as the piece it's with.

126
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 3: I didn't say, I was just saying, technically you could

127
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: now Bill you said before the song as well. You

128
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: had a recent confession where you had to tell a

129
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: guy that his mum was actually his grandma, because if

130
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: you break this down, it means that his mom slept

131
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 3: with his grandpa passlet with his daughter. Yeah, totally. Have

132
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: you had any other recent coffin confessions that have really

133
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: blown your socks off?

134
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: I think the most recent wasn't so much a confession.

135
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: The gentleman had a lot of vultures in his family

136
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: and he didn't want to leave them anything. He'd done

137
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: a lot for charity in the past, but he wanted

138
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: to take certain items with him and he wanted them buried.

139
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: And I couldn't find a place to bury him until

140
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: one night I came up with the idea, and I

141
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: paid the grave digger to lower me into his grave,

142
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: and I dug a bit of a hole and placed

143
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: what he wanted in the hole, and the coffin went

144
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: on top.

145
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: What shut up, Phil, What was it?

146
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: What was it?

147
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 3: What was the thing that you were burying?

148
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: Look, it was not only photos, but money, a couple

149
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: of middle trinkets, gold trinklets, to think that he really

150
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: thought of value to himself, the family really wanted. How

151
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: much in the family?

152
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: How much? How much is? How much is there buried?

153
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. I couldn't even tell you who

154
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, I've got a lie.

155
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: You can't tell me who it is. But like how much?

156
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: How much do you reckon? Like like tens of thousands.

157
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Easy clost to one hundred thousands?

158
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, sh b And I know we talked about honor before, Bill,

159
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,600

204
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,080

00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,079

209
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: them to sit down and shut up because they want

210
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: to hear what their loved ones got make done. Things

211
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,440

214
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the hitching for it to get out. So when I

215
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: let it out, they sort of sit back with the

216
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: smug look on their face and they look at the

217
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,079
