WEBVTT - MINI: Funeral Songs

0:00:09.685 --> 0:00:10.805
<v Speaker 1>I heart podcasts.

0:00:10.845 --> 0:00:13.605
<v Speaker 2>You can hear more gold when I four point three podcasts,

0:00:13.685 --> 0:00:17.165
<v Speaker 2>playlist and listen live on the Free iHeart.

0:00:16.725 --> 0:00:21.204
<v Speaker 1>App Got anything good? Hey, this is.

0:00:21.204 --> 0:00:28.565
<v Speaker 2>The Christian O'Connell show podcast. Yesterday, my wife and I

0:00:28.604 --> 0:00:31.805
<v Speaker 2>were talking and my wife said, you know, because I've

0:00:31.805 --> 0:00:33.724
<v Speaker 2>been asked by my youngest daughter if I could make

0:00:33.725 --> 0:00:37.044
<v Speaker 2>a playlist yesterday. She's got a big exam today. She said, Dad,

0:00:37.085 --> 0:00:38.925
<v Speaker 2>can you make me playlist? I need some new energy

0:00:38.965 --> 0:00:42.165
<v Speaker 2>and some new vibes. This is my favorite request from anybody.

0:00:42.845 --> 0:00:45.044
<v Speaker 2>You know, I love a plays you. It is my

0:00:45.125 --> 0:00:48.165
<v Speaker 2>canvas let me paint, and her masterpiece. So anyway, my

0:00:48.245 --> 0:00:51.045
<v Speaker 2>wife goes the joy I had putting this playlist together,

0:00:51.405 --> 0:00:54.245
<v Speaker 2>like every Joy playlist. My wife goes, I'm really wide

0:00:54.525 --> 0:00:56.845
<v Speaker 2>that if anything happened to you, I wouldn't know exactly

0:00:56.845 --> 0:00:59.365
<v Speaker 2>what songs you on the funeral, And I'm actually thinking,

0:00:59.685 --> 0:01:01.685
<v Speaker 2>you know what, she wouldn't and she goes like, I know,

0:01:02.445 --> 0:01:06.285
<v Speaker 2>oh what Springsteen, so you should know by now, And

0:01:06.285 --> 0:01:08.445
<v Speaker 2>then I was actually wide, like what they can't screw

0:01:08.565 --> 0:01:11.885
<v Speaker 2>that up? And I really would be so annoyed if

0:01:11.925 --> 0:01:13.725
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't the right songs. And then they just put

0:01:13.765 --> 0:01:18.165
<v Speaker 2>like googled oh generics and I'm like, this is not

0:01:18.205 --> 0:01:20.565
<v Speaker 2>what I wanted, guys, and then I'll come back and

0:01:20.565 --> 0:01:24.965
<v Speaker 2>haunt them. So he's really upset because that that that

0:01:25.085 --> 0:01:27.805
<v Speaker 2>final playlist for me needs to be the best one ever,

0:01:29.205 --> 0:01:31.245
<v Speaker 2>needs to speak to the essence of who was this man.

0:01:32.085 --> 0:01:36.084
<v Speaker 2>He's still with us through music. So then I was wondering,

0:01:36.405 --> 0:01:39.805
<v Speaker 2>can you put this attach it to the will? You

0:01:39.805 --> 0:01:41.725
<v Speaker 2>can pretty much put anything in the will.

0:01:42.085 --> 0:01:43.365
<v Speaker 1>And it would have been would have been sure. It

0:01:43.365 --> 0:01:44.965
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be legally binding.

0:01:45.005 --> 0:01:48.565
<v Speaker 3>I think to some extent because my mom's friend had

0:01:48.925 --> 0:01:51.205
<v Speaker 3>seating arrangements in her will how she.

0:01:51.125 --> 0:01:51.445
<v Speaker 1>Wanted to do.

0:01:51.605 --> 0:01:53.445
<v Speaker 2>And that's the other thing is I want to have

0:01:53.525 --> 0:01:55.725
<v Speaker 2>written down and agreed on there my front row people.

0:01:57.405 --> 0:01:59.125
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to be up at the Pearly Gates.

0:01:59.165 --> 0:02:01.685
<v Speaker 2>And of course I'm going there. I'm God's DJ here

0:02:01.685 --> 0:02:04.365
<v Speaker 2>on Earth. I doant up there, like hang on, no, no, no,

0:02:04.405 --> 0:02:07.245
<v Speaker 2>I just about to come in God. But WHOA how

0:02:07.285 --> 0:02:09.685
<v Speaker 2>they got on the front row, any of us in

0:02:09.685 --> 0:02:11.484
<v Speaker 2>the front No, no, no, you quit the radio show.

0:02:11.685 --> 0:02:14.044
<v Speaker 1>You don't get in that front row. You don't get

0:02:14.044 --> 0:02:15.044
<v Speaker 1>back in that front row.

0:02:15.285 --> 0:02:18.085
<v Speaker 2>Front rowers off you from now on, my friend three

0:02:18.085 --> 0:02:20.325
<v Speaker 2>males are over and front row my funeral.

0:02:20.445 --> 0:02:21.125
<v Speaker 1>It's gone.

0:02:21.485 --> 0:02:23.325
<v Speaker 3>You need to do what my father in law did

0:02:23.405 --> 0:02:26.565
<v Speaker 3>and have a pre planned funeral, and he did it

0:02:26.605 --> 0:02:29.764
<v Speaker 3>all himself before he departed years before.

0:02:29.845 --> 0:02:31.285
<v Speaker 2>And I've just got the immege of someone in their

0:02:31.325 --> 0:02:33.405
<v Speaker 2>garage at the weekends building their own coffin.

0:02:34.085 --> 0:02:39.125
<v Speaker 1>But the inside hammering. It's actually going to be really cozy.

0:02:39.205 --> 0:02:39.645
<v Speaker 3>The guys.

0:02:39.845 --> 0:02:42.005
<v Speaker 2>I've really got a couple of little side draws for snatch,

0:02:42.445 --> 0:02:45.565
<v Speaker 2>the remote control and stuff like that, burying me with

0:02:45.685 --> 0:02:46.565
<v Speaker 2>my remote control.

0:02:46.805 --> 0:02:48.845
<v Speaker 1>Let me take it to the other side.

0:02:49.285 --> 0:02:52.485
<v Speaker 3>And he had exactly how he wanted, had all the

0:02:52.565 --> 0:02:55.285
<v Speaker 3>songs he wanted. He didn't want any flowers. He said,

0:02:55.325 --> 0:02:58.125
<v Speaker 3>I don't want people wasting their money on flowers, so

0:02:58.165 --> 0:03:04.485
<v Speaker 3>they were not. It was exactly how Patrick wanted it.

0:03:04.485 --> 0:03:06.325
<v Speaker 3>It was his day and that.

0:03:06.325 --> 0:03:06.885
<v Speaker 1>Was just right.

0:03:07.165 --> 0:03:09.605
<v Speaker 2>Actually, yeah, it should be like that. So what I'm

0:03:09.605 --> 0:03:12.044
<v Speaker 2>going to do now is I'm going to have on Spotify.

0:03:12.565 --> 0:03:16.445
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to build this weekend my bit more.

0:03:16.965 --> 0:03:18.685
<v Speaker 1>That is so morbid. God.

0:03:18.725 --> 0:03:21.525
<v Speaker 2>I spoke to you first because I seriously was going

0:03:21.565 --> 0:03:24.285
<v Speaker 2>to do this, and then text my daughters and my

0:03:24.325 --> 0:03:25.885
<v Speaker 2>wife going this is my final playlist.

0:03:25.965 --> 0:03:28.925
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, no, you just save it on your phone. No, no, no,

0:03:29.125 --> 0:03:30.645
<v Speaker 1>this is too much for them to be. You know

0:03:31.245 --> 0:03:33.845
<v Speaker 1>they're going to think, is he is he all right?

0:03:33.965 --> 0:03:34.165
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:03:34.245 --> 0:03:39.845
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yes, what does he know? Oh? Just the thought

0:03:39.845 --> 0:03:41.285
<v Speaker 1>of doing but you do have to do it at

0:03:41.325 --> 0:03:45.285
<v Speaker 1>some point. Yes, if any about people? Would you be

0:03:45.285 --> 0:03:46.045
<v Speaker 1>worried about Pats?

0:03:46.125 --> 0:03:48.285
<v Speaker 2>Is it just me as a music obsessive worried about

0:03:48.325 --> 0:03:48.845
<v Speaker 2>the final song?

0:03:49.285 --> 0:03:51.725
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I tell Chris now, I'm very specific, yes,

0:03:51.845 --> 0:03:54.005
<v Speaker 3>exactly what I want, and I know the Eagles song

0:03:54.045 --> 0:03:57.005
<v Speaker 3>that he wants because he loves the Eagles, and there's.

0:03:56.845 --> 0:03:58.685
<v Speaker 1>A particular song already.

0:03:58.965 --> 0:04:01.045
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, No, it's something about.

0:04:00.765 --> 0:04:04.005
<v Speaker 1>Coming home, like something with the hotel.

0:04:04.645 --> 0:04:07.085
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not Hotel California. You know it's not that. No,

0:04:07.205 --> 0:04:10.445
<v Speaker 3>it's a song, it's not it's not like high rotation song.

0:04:10.485 --> 0:04:12.805
<v Speaker 3>It's a different song, and it's something about oncoming. You

0:04:12.845 --> 0:04:15.125
<v Speaker 3>ask him, Yeah, I will. I'll text him now I

0:04:15.125 --> 0:04:17.005
<v Speaker 3>think it's the lyrics that I'm coming home.

0:04:17.045 --> 0:04:18.924
<v Speaker 2>I'll do a Google search, Well, you've got news coming

0:04:18.964 --> 0:04:21.605
<v Speaker 2>up there, I have a lot, and then go look for.

0:04:23.205 --> 0:04:27.445
<v Speaker 1>Christian O'Connell show on podcast Christian.

0:04:27.164 --> 0:04:29.765
<v Speaker 2>I was this is this is unbelievable. You never know

0:04:29.765 --> 0:04:32.645
<v Speaker 2>who's listening. With the joy of this job. Sometimes Christian

0:04:32.685 --> 0:04:34.325
<v Speaker 2>listened to you will talk about this. It is really important.

0:04:34.364 --> 0:04:36.564
<v Speaker 2>Two years ago I was living, I was given two

0:04:36.645 --> 0:04:40.004
<v Speaker 2>years to live. I am building my playlist right now.

0:04:40.484 --> 0:04:43.085
<v Speaker 2>Music for my funeral is suddenly very very important to me.

0:04:43.484 --> 0:04:45.484
<v Speaker 2>I am really really sorry to hear that. How are

0:04:45.525 --> 0:04:47.964
<v Speaker 2>you going? That is incredible. I really hoping we haven't

0:04:47.964 --> 0:04:50.404
<v Speaker 2>also given you a buzzkill. Definitely if you've only got

0:04:50.404 --> 0:04:52.005
<v Speaker 2>two years left to live and you need something in

0:04:52.125 --> 0:04:54.245
<v Speaker 2>this radio show and suddenly we're talking about someone which

0:04:54.325 --> 0:04:57.565
<v Speaker 2>is actually very real life view rather than hopefully theory

0:04:57.604 --> 0:05:00.805
<v Speaker 2>for Patsy and I. Also, the guy was just sent

0:05:00.844 --> 0:05:02.724
<v Speaker 2>me that message. I'm saying guy, because I don't know

0:05:02.765 --> 0:05:06.124
<v Speaker 2>your name. I want to know is his his his

0:05:06.125 --> 0:05:08.245
<v Speaker 2>His Twitter handle is undertaker.

0:05:09.245 --> 0:05:13.444
<v Speaker 1>Oh and he's a funeral director. Oh wow, yes that is.

0:05:13.804 --> 0:05:16.444
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a good Twitter name. It is a

0:05:16.525 --> 0:05:17.245
<v Speaker 1>very good Twitter name.

0:05:17.284 --> 0:05:19.005
<v Speaker 2>When you leave that, will you leave that in your

0:05:19.044 --> 0:05:22.125
<v Speaker 2>will to one of the other funeral directors I've just seen?

0:05:22.445 --> 0:05:24.284
<v Speaker 2>Why is he called himself that? Did he call himself that?

0:05:24.284 --> 0:05:26.525
<v Speaker 2>When he found out the diagnosis. But he's actually a

0:05:26.565 --> 0:05:28.205
<v Speaker 2>full time funeral director.

0:05:29.565 --> 0:05:29.885
<v Speaker 1>Christian.

0:05:29.924 --> 0:05:32.364
<v Speaker 2>I brought these books and myself and three of my friends.

0:05:33.245 --> 0:05:35.724
<v Speaker 2>I'm worried that my husband will screw up the funeral planning.

0:05:36.044 --> 0:05:36.804
<v Speaker 2>This is a book.

0:05:37.565 --> 0:05:39.085
<v Speaker 1>This is a book. I didn't know if could get this.

0:05:39.685 --> 0:05:42.565
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, it's your problem now because I'm dead.

0:05:43.724 --> 0:05:45.004
<v Speaker 1>End of life planner.

0:05:45.364 --> 0:05:48.644
<v Speaker 2>Incredible, it's obviously got a it's a black front.

0:05:50.445 --> 0:05:52.604
<v Speaker 1>Sorry, it is your problem now because I'm dead.

0:05:52.804 --> 0:05:55.964
<v Speaker 2>Spoiler alert, end of life planner. Oh wow, I didn't

0:05:56.005 --> 0:06:00.044
<v Speaker 2>know you could actually do that, Christian. Take it from me.

0:06:00.164 --> 0:06:03.005
<v Speaker 2>I'm a celebrant. Listen to this this morning. I support

0:06:03.044 --> 0:06:06.645
<v Speaker 2>individuals to write and plan funerals for loved ones. Patsy's right,

0:06:06.724 --> 0:06:09.044
<v Speaker 2>it just takes you, know, suddenly the worst day your life.

0:06:09.245 --> 0:06:11.124
<v Speaker 2>You're trying to put together, you know, the wake, and

0:06:11.164 --> 0:06:13.205
<v Speaker 2>you really want to do them right. It's better if

0:06:13.205 --> 0:06:15.525
<v Speaker 2>you help out people. Why, it's one, it's a very

0:06:15.565 --> 0:06:17.844
<v Speaker 2>big thing. They don't have to worry about put all

0:06:17.964 --> 0:06:20.445
<v Speaker 2>the details down, even what food and drinks you want

0:06:20.445 --> 0:06:24.205
<v Speaker 2>served as well. She goes, some people also have names

0:06:24.205 --> 0:06:26.164
<v Speaker 2>of people they do not want at the wake.

0:06:26.484 --> 0:06:29.284
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love that you how do you manage that?

0:06:29.525 --> 0:06:31.244
<v Speaker 2>We don't have to no, no, no, you know, but

0:06:31.284 --> 0:06:33.164
<v Speaker 2>how do you stop people from coming to a wake?

0:06:33.525 --> 0:06:37.724
<v Speaker 1>Do I have weight bouncers? Respectfully, I'd like to ask

0:06:37.724 --> 0:06:41.525
<v Speaker 1>you to leave. Don't make this difficult, otherwise we can

0:06:41.645 --> 0:06:45.284
<v Speaker 1>put you in the coffee. Christian.

0:06:45.364 --> 0:06:49.364
<v Speaker 2>I have a Dad's Gone playlist shared with my kids

0:06:49.404 --> 0:06:56.645
<v Speaker 2>on Spotify. Too dark that that's gone, So you're not here, Matthew, Christian.

0:06:57.245 --> 0:06:59.924
<v Speaker 2>I wrote my funeral playlist ten years ago, at twenty

0:06:59.964 --> 0:07:05.485
<v Speaker 2>eight young. My phone notes it'd be mostly like Pitopball.

0:07:07.724 --> 0:07:10.005
<v Speaker 2>You might want to go and visit that. A lot

0:07:10.045 --> 0:07:14.564
<v Speaker 2>of black eyed peace sadly no longer relevant. Christian bit morbid.

0:07:14.565 --> 0:07:18.925
<v Speaker 2>But I have a spotifyed playlist called Memorium, hoping I

0:07:18.925 --> 0:07:20.765
<v Speaker 2>don't have to use it anytime soon. But it's nice

0:07:20.765 --> 0:07:22.485
<v Speaker 2>to note if I did the playlist that my weight

0:07:22.485 --> 0:07:24.205
<v Speaker 2>would be full of bangers.

0:07:24.405 --> 0:07:26.645
<v Speaker 1>See that's what I want, Christian.

0:07:26.685 --> 0:07:29.645
<v Speaker 2>My husband and I both have our playlists, and we

0:07:29.845 --> 0:07:33.165
<v Speaker 2>have Fields of Gold by Sting written into our wheels.

0:07:33.205 --> 0:07:35.405
<v Speaker 1>That is a great one. It is a beautiful song.

0:07:35.445 --> 0:07:39.165
<v Speaker 1>There I remember you. That's the only line I know.

0:07:40.245 --> 0:07:44.565
<v Speaker 1>West Winds and is it in their by.

0:07:46.165 --> 0:07:47.965
<v Speaker 2>If you were to higher Rio and I to sing

0:07:48.005 --> 0:07:51.725
<v Speaker 2>it live at your funeral, Gladys, do let us know, Christian.

0:07:51.765 --> 0:07:54.325
<v Speaker 2>I've had this on my phone ready for quite some time.

0:07:54.485 --> 0:07:58.165
<v Speaker 2>This guy's got the whole playlist, time to what moments

0:07:58.485 --> 0:08:01.845
<v Speaker 2>funeral songs hopefully not need for many years. Entry, I

0:08:01.965 --> 0:08:05.885
<v Speaker 2>want a walk on by by Dion Warwick. And then

0:08:06.005 --> 0:08:13.205
<v Speaker 2>for the photo montage, only you your zoo. I love that.

0:08:13.485 --> 0:08:14.445
<v Speaker 1>This is a great song.

<v Speaker 2>Alison Moye into Benny and the Jets, all the photos

0:08:19.085 --> 0:08:27.645

<v Speaker 2>is christ This is the big think of the poor

0:08:30.685 --> 0:08:36.324
