1
00:00:09,685 --> 00:00:10,805
Speaker 1: I heart podcasts.

2
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:13,605
Speaker 2: You can hear more gold when I four point three podcasts,

3
00:00:13,685 --> 00:00:17,165
Speaker 2: playlist and listen live on the Free iHeart.

4
00:00:16,725 --> 00:00:21,204
Speaker 1: App Got anything good? Hey, this is.

5
00:00:21,204 --> 00:00:28,565
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday, my wife and I

6
00:00:28,604 --> 00:00:31,805
Speaker 2: were talking and my wife said, you know, because I've

7
00:00:31,805 --> 00:00:33,724
Speaker 2: been asked by my youngest daughter if I could make

8
00:00:33,725 --> 00:00:37,044
Speaker 2: a playlist yesterday. She's got a big exam today. She said, Dad,

9
00:00:37,085 --> 00:00:38,925
Speaker 2: can you make me playlist? I need some new energy

10
00:00:38,965 --> 00:00:42,165
Speaker 2: and some new vibes. This is my favorite request from anybody.

11
00:00:42,845 --> 00:00:45,044
Speaker 2: You know, I love a plays you. It is my

12
00:00:45,125 --> 00:00:48,165
Speaker 2: canvas let me paint, and her masterpiece. So anyway, my

13
00:00:48,245 --> 00:00:51,045
Speaker 2: wife goes the joy I had putting this playlist together,

14
00:00:51,405 --> 00:00:54,245
Speaker 2: like every Joy playlist. My wife goes, I'm really wide

15
00:00:54,525 --> 00:00:56,845
Speaker 2: that if anything happened to you, I wouldn't know exactly

16
00:00:56,845 --> 00:00:59,365
Speaker 2: what songs you on the funeral, And I'm actually thinking,

17
00:00:59,685 --> 00:01:01,685
Speaker 2: you know what, she wouldn't and she goes like, I know,

18
00:01:02,445 --> 00:01:06,285
Speaker 2: oh what Springsteen, so you should know by now, And

19
00:01:06,285 --> 00:01:08,445
Speaker 2: then I was actually wide, like what they can't screw

20
00:01:08,565 --> 00:01:11,885
Speaker 2: that up? And I really would be so annoyed if

21
00:01:11,925 --> 00:01:13,725
Speaker 2: it wasn't the right songs. And then they just put

22
00:01:13,765 --> 00:01:18,165
Speaker 2: like googled oh generics and I'm like, this is not

23
00:01:18,205 --> 00:01:20,565
Speaker 2: what I wanted, guys, and then I'll come back and

24
00:01:20,565 --> 00:01:24,965
Speaker 2: haunt them. So he's really upset because that that that

25
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:27,805
Speaker 2: final playlist for me needs to be the best one ever,

26
00:01:29,205 --> 00:01:31,245
Speaker 2: needs to speak to the essence of who was this man.

27
00:01:32,085 --> 00:01:36,084
Speaker 2: He's still with us through music. So then I was wondering,

28
00:01:36,405 --> 00:01:39,805
Speaker 2: can you put this attach it to the will? You

29
00:01:39,805 --> 00:01:41,725
Speaker 2: can pretty much put anything in the will.

30
00:01:42,085 --> 00:01:43,365
Speaker 1: And it would have been would have been sure. It

31
00:01:43,365 --> 00:01:44,965
Speaker 1: wouldn't be legally binding.

32
00:01:45,005 --> 00:01:48,565
Speaker 3: I think to some extent because my mom's friend had

33
00:01:48,925 --> 00:01:51,205
Speaker 3: seating arrangements in her will how she.

34
00:01:51,125 --> 00:01:51,445
Speaker 1: Wanted to do.

35
00:01:51,605 --> 00:01:53,445
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing is I want to have

36
00:01:53,525 --> 00:01:55,725
Speaker 2: written down and agreed on there my front row people.

37
00:01:57,405 --> 00:01:59,125
Speaker 2: I don't want to be up at the Pearly Gates.

38
00:01:59,165 --> 00:02:01,685
Speaker 2: And of course I'm going there. I'm God's DJ here

39
00:02:01,685 --> 00:02:04,365
Speaker 2: on Earth. I doant up there, like hang on, no, no, no,

40
00:02:04,405 --> 00:02:07,245
Speaker 2: I just about to come in God. But WHOA how

41
00:02:07,285 --> 00:02:09,685
Speaker 2: they got on the front row, any of us in

42
00:02:09,685 --> 00:02:11,484
Speaker 2: the front No, no, no, you quit the radio show.

43
00:02:11,685 --> 00:02:14,044
Speaker 1: You don't get in that front row. You don't get

44
00:02:14,044 --> 00:02:15,044
Speaker 1: back in that front row.

45
00:02:15,285 --> 00:02:18,085
Speaker 2: Front rowers off you from now on, my friend three

46
00:02:18,085 --> 00:02:20,325
Speaker 2: males are over and front row my funeral.

47
00:02:20,445 --> 00:02:21,125
Speaker 1: It's gone.

48
00:02:21,485 --> 00:02:23,325
Speaker 3: You need to do what my father in law did

49
00:02:23,405 --> 00:02:26,565
Speaker 3: and have a pre planned funeral, and he did it

50
00:02:26,605 --> 00:02:29,764
Speaker 3: all himself before he departed years before.

51
00:02:29,845 --> 00:02:31,285
Speaker 2: And I've just got the immege of someone in their

52
00:02:31,325 --> 00:02:33,405
Speaker 2: garage at the weekends building their own coffin.

53
00:02:34,085 --> 00:02:39,125
Speaker 1: But the inside hammering. It's actually going to be really cozy.

54
00:02:39,205 --> 00:02:39,645
Speaker 3: The guys.

55
00:02:39,845 --> 00:02:42,005
Speaker 2: I've really got a couple of little side draws for snatch,

56
00:02:42,445 --> 00:02:45,565
Speaker 2: the remote control and stuff like that, burying me with

57
00:02:45,685 --> 00:02:46,565
Speaker 2: my remote control.

58
00:02:46,805 --> 00:02:48,845
Speaker 1: Let me take it to the other side.

59
00:02:49,285 --> 00:02:52,485
Speaker 3: And he had exactly how he wanted, had all the

60
00:02:52,565 --> 00:02:55,285
Speaker 3: songs he wanted. He didn't want any flowers. He said,

61
00:02:55,325 --> 00:02:58,125
Speaker 3: I don't want people wasting their money on flowers, so

62
00:02:58,165 --> 00:03:04,485
Speaker 3: they were not. It was exactly how Patrick wanted it.

63
00:03:04,485 --> 00:03:06,325
Speaker 3: It was his day and that.

64
00:03:06,325 --> 00:03:06,885
Speaker 1: Was just right.

65
00:03:07,165 --> 00:03:09,605
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, it should be like that. So what I'm

66
00:03:09,605 --> 00:03:12,044
Speaker 2: going to do now is I'm going to have on Spotify.

67
00:03:12,565 --> 00:03:16,445
Speaker 2: I'm going to build this weekend my bit more.

68
00:03:16,965 --> 00:03:18,685
Speaker 1: That is so morbid. God.

69
00:03:18,725 --> 00:03:21,525
Speaker 2: I spoke to you first because I seriously was going

70
00:03:21,565 --> 00:03:24,285
Speaker 2: to do this, and then text my daughters and my

71
00:03:24,325 --> 00:03:25,885
Speaker 2: wife going this is my final playlist.

72
00:03:25,965 --> 00:03:28,925
Speaker 1: Oh my god, no, you just save it on your phone. No, no, no,

73
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:30,645
Speaker 1: this is too much for them to be. You know

74
00:03:31,245 --> 00:03:33,845
Speaker 1: they're going to think, is he is he all right?

75
00:03:33,965 --> 00:03:34,165
Speaker 2: Yeah?

76
00:03:34,245 --> 00:03:39,845
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, what does he know? Oh? Just the thought

77
00:03:39,845 --> 00:03:41,285
Speaker 1: of doing but you do have to do it at

78
00:03:41,325 --> 00:03:45,285
Speaker 1: some point. Yes, if any about people? Would you be

79
00:03:45,285 --> 00:03:46,045
Speaker 1: worried about Pats?

80
00:03:46,125 --> 00:03:48,285
Speaker 2: Is it just me as a music obsessive worried about

81
00:03:48,325 --> 00:03:48,845
Speaker 2: the final song?

82
00:03:49,285 --> 00:03:51,725
Speaker 3: Oh no, I tell Chris now, I'm very specific, yes,

83
00:03:51,845 --> 00:03:54,005
Speaker 3: exactly what I want, and I know the Eagles song

84
00:03:54,045 --> 00:03:57,005
Speaker 3: that he wants because he loves the Eagles, and there's.

85
00:03:56,845 --> 00:03:58,685
Speaker 1: A particular song already.

86
00:03:58,965 --> 00:04:01,045
Speaker 3: It's yeah, No, it's something about.

87
00:04:00,765 --> 00:04:04,005
Speaker 1: Coming home, like something with the hotel.

88
00:04:04,645 --> 00:04:07,085
Speaker 3: No, it's not Hotel California. You know it's not that. No,

89
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:10,445
Speaker 3: it's a song, it's not it's not like high rotation song.

90
00:04:10,485 --> 00:04:12,805
Speaker 3: It's a different song, and it's something about oncoming. You

91
00:04:12,845 --> 00:04:15,125
Speaker 3: ask him, Yeah, I will. I'll text him now I

92
00:04:15,125 --> 00:04:17,005
Speaker 3: think it's the lyrics that I'm coming home.

93
00:04:17,045 --> 00:04:18,924
Speaker 2: I'll do a Google search, Well, you've got news coming

94
00:04:18,964 --> 00:04:21,605
Speaker 2: up there, I have a lot, and then go look for.

95
00:04:23,205 --> 00:04:27,445

Speaker 2: who's listening. With the joy of this job. Sometimes Christian

98
00:04:32,685 --> 00:04:34,325
Speaker 2: listened to you will talk about this. It is really important.

99
00:04:34,364 --> 00:04:36,564
Speaker 2: Two years ago I was living, I was given two

100
00:04:36,645 --> 00:04:40,004
Speaker 2: years to live. I am building my playlist right now.

101
00:04:40,484 --> 00:04:43,085
Speaker 2: Music for my funeral is suddenly very very important to me.

102
00:04:43,484 --> 00:04:45,484
Speaker 2: I am really really sorry to hear that. How are

103
00:04:45,525 --> 00:04:47,964
Speaker 2: you going? That is incredible. I really hoping we haven't

104
00:04:47,964 --> 00:04:50,404
Speaker 2: also given you a buzzkill. Definitely if you've only got

105
00:04:50,404 --> 00:04:52,005
Speaker 2: two years left to live and you need something in

106
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,245
Speaker 2: this radio show and suddenly we're talking about someone which

107
00:04:54,325 --> 00:04:57,565
Speaker 2: is actually very real life view rather than hopefully theory

108
00:04:57,604 --> 00:05:00,805
Speaker 2: for Patsy and I. Also, the guy was just sent

109
00:05:00,844 --> 00:05:02,724
Speaker 2: me that message. I'm saying guy, because I don't know

110
00:05:02,765 --> 00:05:06,124
Speaker 2: your name. I want to know is his his his

111
00:05:06,125 --> 00:05:08,245
Speaker 2: His Twitter handle is undertaker.

112
00:05:09,245 --> 00:05:13,444
Speaker 1: Oh and he's a funeral director. Oh wow, yes that is.

113
00:05:13,804 --> 00:05:16,444
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good Twitter name. It is a

114
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:17,245
Speaker 1: very good Twitter name.

115
00:05:17,284 --> 00:05:19,005
Speaker 2: When you leave that, will you leave that in your

116
00:05:19,044 --> 00:05:22,125
Speaker 2: will to one of the other funeral directors I've just seen?

117
00:05:22,445 --> 00:05:24,284
Speaker 2: Why is he called himself that? Did he call himself that?

118
00:05:24,284 --> 00:05:26,525
Speaker 2: When he found out the diagnosis. But he's actually a

119
00:05:26,565 --> 00:05:28,205
Speaker 2: full time funeral director.

120
00:05:29,565 --> 00:05:29,885
Speaker 1: Christian.

121
00:05:29,924 --> 00:05:32,364
Speaker 2: I brought these books and myself and three of my friends.

122
00:05:33,245 --> 00:05:35,724
Speaker 2: I'm worried that my husband will screw up the funeral planning.

123
00:05:36,044 --> 00:05:36,804
Speaker 2: This is a book.

124
00:05:37,565 --> 00:05:39,085
Speaker 1: This is a book. I didn't know if could get this.

125
00:05:39,685 --> 00:05:42,565
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's your problem now because I'm dead.

126
00:05:43,724 --> 00:05:45,004
Speaker 1: End of life planner.

127
00:05:45,364 --> 00:05:48,644
Speaker 2: Incredible, it's obviously got a it's a black front.

128
00:05:50,445 --> 00:05:52,604
Speaker 1: Sorry, it is your problem now because I'm dead.

129
00:05:52,804 --> 00:05:55,964
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, end of life planner. Oh wow, I didn't

130
00:05:56,005 --> 00:06:00,044
Speaker 2: know you could actually do that, Christian. Take it from me.

131
00:06:00,164 --> 00:06:03,005
Speaker 2: I'm a celebrant. Listen to this this morning. I support

132
00:06:03,044 --> 00:06:06,645
Speaker 2: individuals to write and plan funerals for loved ones. Patsy's right,

133
00:06:06,724 --> 00:06:09,044
Speaker 2: it just takes you, know, suddenly the worst day your life.

134
00:06:09,245 --> 00:06:11,124
Speaker 2: You're trying to put together, you know, the wake, and

135
00:06:11,164 --> 00:06:13,205
Speaker 2: you really want to do them right. It's better if

136
00:06:13,205 --> 00:06:15,525
Speaker 2: you help out people. Why, it's one, it's a very

137
00:06:15,565 --> 00:06:17,844
Speaker 2: big thing. They don't have to worry about put all

138
00:06:17,964 --> 00:06:20,445
Speaker 2: the details down, even what food and drinks you want

139
00:06:20,445 --> 00:06:24,205
Speaker 2: served as well. She goes, some people also have names

140
00:06:24,205 --> 00:06:26,164
Speaker 2: of people they do not want at the wake.

141
00:06:26,484 --> 00:06:29,284
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that you how do you manage that?

142
00:06:29,525 --> 00:06:31,244
Speaker 2: We don't have to no, no, no, you know, but

143
00:06:31,284 --> 00:06:33,164
Speaker 2: how do you stop people from coming to a wake?

144
00:06:33,525 --> 00:06:37,724
Speaker 1: Do I have weight bouncers? Respectfully, I'd like to ask

145
00:06:37,724 --> 00:06:41,525
Speaker 1: you to leave. Don't make this difficult, otherwise we can

146
00:06:41,645 --> 00:06:45,284
Speaker 1: put you in the coffee. Christian.

147
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:49,364
Speaker 2: I have a Dad's Gone playlist shared with my kids

148
00:06:49,404 --> 00:06:56,645
Speaker 2: on Spotify. Too dark that that's gone, So you're not here, Matthew, Christian.

149
00:06:57,245 --> 00:06:59,924
Speaker 2: I wrote my funeral playlist ten years ago, at twenty

150
00:06:59,964 --> 00:07:05,485
Speaker 2: eight young. My phone notes it'd be mostly like Pitopball.

151
00:07:07,724 --> 00:07:10,005
Speaker 2: You might want to go and visit that. A lot

152
00:07:10,045 --> 00:07:14,564
Speaker 2: of black eyed peace sadly no longer relevant. Christian bit morbid.

153
00:07:14,565 --> 00:07:18,925
Speaker 2: But I have a spotifyed playlist called Memorium, hoping I

154
00:07:18,925 --> 00:07:20,765
Speaker 2: don't have to use it anytime soon. But it's nice

155
00:07:20,765 --> 00:07:22,485
Speaker 2: to note if I did the playlist that my weight

156
00:07:22,485 --> 00:07:24,205
Speaker 2: would be full of bangers.

157
00:07:24,405 --> 00:07:26,645
