Speaker 1: I heart podcasts.
Speaker 2: You can hear more gold when I four point three podcasts,
Speaker 2: playlist and listen live on the Free iHeart.
Speaker 1: App Got anything good? Hey, this is.
Speaker 2: The Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday, my wife and I
Speaker 2: were talking and my wife said, you know, because I've
Speaker 2: been asked by my youngest daughter if I could make
Speaker 2: a playlist yesterday. She's got a big exam today. She said, Dad,
Speaker 2: can you make me playlist? I need some new energy
Speaker 2: and some new vibes. This is my favorite request from anybody.
Speaker 2: You know, I love a plays you. It is my
Speaker 2: canvas let me paint, and her masterpiece. So anyway, my
Speaker 2: wife goes the joy I had putting this playlist together,
Speaker 2: like every Joy playlist. My wife goes, I'm really wide
Speaker 2: that if anything happened to you, I wouldn't know exactly
Speaker 2: what songs you on the funeral, And I'm actually thinking,
Speaker 2: you know what, she wouldn't and she goes like, I know,
Speaker 2: oh what Springsteen, so you should know by now, And
Speaker 2: then I was actually wide, like what they can't screw
Speaker 2: that up? And I really would be so annoyed if
Speaker 2: it wasn't the right songs. And then they just put
Speaker 2: like googled oh generics and I'm like, this is not
Speaker 2: what I wanted, guys, and then I'll come back and
Speaker 2: haunt them. So he's really upset because that that that
Speaker 2: final playlist for me needs to be the best one ever,
Speaker 2: needs to speak to the essence of who was this man.
Speaker 2: He's still with us through music. So then I was wondering,
Speaker 2: can you put this attach it to the will? You
Speaker 2: can pretty much put anything in the will.
Speaker 1: And it would have been would have been sure. It
Speaker 1: wouldn't be legally binding.
Speaker 3: I think to some extent because my mom's friend had
Speaker 3: seating arrangements in her will how she.
Speaker 1: Wanted to do.
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing is I want to have
Speaker 2: written down and agreed on there my front row people.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be up at the Pearly Gates.
Speaker 2: And of course I'm going there. I'm God's DJ here
Speaker 2: on Earth. I doant up there, like hang on, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I just about to come in God. But WHOA how
Speaker 2: they got on the front row, any of us in
Speaker 2: the front No, no, no, you quit the radio show.
Speaker 1: You don't get in that front row. You don't get
Speaker 1: back in that front row.
Speaker 2: Front rowers off you from now on, my friend three
Speaker 2: males are over and front row my funeral.
Speaker 1: It's gone.
Speaker 3: You need to do what my father in law did
Speaker 3: and have a pre planned funeral, and he did it
Speaker 3: all himself before he departed years before.
Speaker 2: And I've just got the immege of someone in their
Speaker 2: garage at the weekends building their own coffin.
Speaker 1: But the inside hammering. It's actually going to be really cozy.
Speaker 3: The guys.
Speaker 2: I've really got a couple of little side draws for snatch,
Speaker 2: the remote control and stuff like that, burying me with
Speaker 2: my remote control.
Speaker 1: Let me take it to the other side.
Speaker 3: And he had exactly how he wanted, had all the
Speaker 3: songs he wanted. He didn't want any flowers. He said,
Speaker 3: I don't want people wasting their money on flowers, so
Speaker 3: they were not. It was exactly how Patrick wanted it.
Speaker 3: It was his day and that.
Speaker 1: Was just right.
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, it should be like that. So what I'm
Speaker 2: going to do now is I'm going to have on Spotify.
Speaker 2: I'm going to build this weekend my bit more.
Speaker 1: That is so morbid. God.
Speaker 2: I spoke to you first because I seriously was going
Speaker 2: to do this, and then text my daughters and my
Speaker 2: wife going this is my final playlist.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, no, you just save it on your phone. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is too much for them to be. You know
Speaker 1: they're going to think, is he is he all right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, what does he know? Oh? Just the thought
Speaker 1: of doing but you do have to do it at
Speaker 1: some point. Yes, if any about people? Would you be
Speaker 1: worried about Pats?
Speaker 2: Is it just me as a music obsessive worried about
Speaker 2: the final song?
Speaker 3: Oh no, I tell Chris now, I'm very specific, yes,
Speaker 3: exactly what I want, and I know the Eagles song
Speaker 3: that he wants because he loves the Eagles, and there's.
Speaker 1: A particular song already.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, No, it's something about.
Speaker 1: Coming home, like something with the hotel.
Speaker 3: No, it's not Hotel California. You know it's not that. No,
Speaker 3: it's a song, it's not it's not like high rotation song.
Speaker 3: It's a different song, and it's something about oncoming. You
Speaker 3: ask him, Yeah, I will. I'll text him now I
Speaker 3: think it's the lyrics that I'm coming home.
Speaker 2: I'll do a Google search, Well, you've got news coming
Speaker 2: up there, I have a lot, and then go look for.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell show on podcast Christian.
Speaker 2: I was this is this is unbelievable. You never know
Speaker 2: who's listening. With the joy of this job. Sometimes Christian
Speaker 2: listened to you will talk about this. It is really important.
Speaker 2: Two years ago I was living, I was given two
Speaker 2: years to live. I am building my playlist right now.
Speaker 2: Music for my funeral is suddenly very very important to me.
Speaker 2: I am really really sorry to hear that. How are
Speaker 2: you going? That is incredible. I really hoping we haven't
Speaker 2: also given you a buzzkill. Definitely if you've only got
Speaker 2: two years left to live and you need something in
Speaker 2: this radio show and suddenly we're talking about someone which
Speaker 2: is actually very real life view rather than hopefully theory
Speaker 2: for Patsy and I. Also, the guy was just sent
Speaker 2: me that message. I'm saying guy, because I don't know
Speaker 2: your name. I want to know is his his his
Speaker 2: His Twitter handle is undertaker.
Speaker 1: Oh and he's a funeral director. Oh wow, yes that is.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a good Twitter name. It is a
Speaker 1: very good Twitter name.
Speaker 2: When you leave that, will you leave that in your
Speaker 2: will to one of the other funeral directors I've just seen?
Speaker 2: Why is he called himself that? Did he call himself that?
Speaker 2: When he found out the diagnosis. But he's actually a
Speaker 2: full time funeral director.
Speaker 1: Christian.
Speaker 2: I brought these books and myself and three of my friends.
Speaker 2: I'm worried that my husband will screw up the funeral planning.
Speaker 2: This is a book.
Speaker 1: This is a book. I didn't know if could get this.
Speaker 2: Sorry, it's your problem now because I'm dead.
Speaker 1: End of life planner.
Speaker 2: Incredible, it's obviously got a it's a black front.
Speaker 1: Sorry, it is your problem now because I'm dead.
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert, end of life planner. Oh wow, I didn't
Speaker 2: know you could actually do that, Christian. Take it from me.
Speaker 2: I'm a celebrant. Listen to this this morning. I support
Speaker 2: individuals to write and plan funerals for loved ones. Patsy's right,
Speaker 2: it just takes you, know, suddenly the worst day your life.
Speaker 2: You're trying to put together, you know, the wake, and
Speaker 2: you really want to do them right. It's better if
Speaker 2: you help out people. Why, it's one, it's a very
Speaker 2: big thing. They don't have to worry about put all
Speaker 2: the details down, even what food and drinks you want
Speaker 2: served as well. She goes, some people also have names
Speaker 2: of people they do not want at the wake.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that you how do you manage that?
Speaker 2: We don't have to no, no, no, you know, but
Speaker 2: how do you stop people from coming to a wake?
Speaker 1: Do I have weight bouncers? Respectfully, I'd like to ask
Speaker 1: you to leave. Don't make this difficult, otherwise we can
Speaker 1: put you in the coffee. Christian.
Speaker 2: I have a Dad's Gone playlist shared with my kids
Speaker 2: on Spotify. Too dark that that's gone, So you're not here, Matthew, Christian.
Speaker 2: I wrote my funeral playlist ten years ago, at twenty
Speaker 2: eight young. My phone notes it'd be mostly like Pitopball.
Speaker 2: You might want to go and visit that. A lot
Speaker 2: of black eyed peace sadly no longer relevant. Christian bit morbid.
Speaker 2: But I have a spotifyed playlist called Memorium, hoping I
Speaker 2: don't have to use it anytime soon. But it's nice
Speaker 2: to note if I did the playlist that my weight
Speaker 2: would be full of bangers.
Speaker 1: See that's what I want, Christian.
Speaker 2: My husband and I both have our playlists, and we
Speaker 2: have Fields of Gold by Sting written into our wheels.
Speaker 1: That is a great one. It is a beautiful song.
Speaker 1: There I remember you. That's the only line I know.
Speaker 1: West Winds and is it in their by.
Speaker 2: If you were to higher Rio and I to sing
Speaker 2: it live at your funeral, Gladys, do let us know, Christian.
Speaker 2: I've had this on my phone ready for quite some time.
Speaker 2: This guy's got the whole playlist, time to what moments
Speaker 2: funeral songs hopefully not need for many years. Entry, I
Speaker 2: want a walk on by by Dion Warwick. And then
Speaker 2: for the photo montage, only you your zoo. I love that.
Speaker 1: This is a great song.
Speaker 2: Alison Moye into Benny and the Jets, all the photos
Speaker 2: are coming on into Lewis Capaldi. This is cute, This
Speaker 2: is christ This is the big think of the poor
Speaker 2: people watching it and they're already broken. And then he's
Speaker 2: even got coffin exits Don't let the Sun Go Down
Speaker 2: on Me or Elton John with George Michael. Final song
Speaker 2: is ever Long Foo Fighters.
Speaker 1: It picks up
