So, Joe, on the morning show. Imagine this. Megan making a scene at a funeral.

00:01:58 - 00:01:59 | Speaker 3:

Ah, makes sense.

00:01:59 - 00:02:12 | Speaker 4:

It kind of does. But the scene was done, as long as the scene is done with the person who lost their loved one. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you can't be the person that's making the scene with somebody that doesn't know the family. You know what I mean?

00:02:12 - 00:02:20 | Speaker 3:

And it was positive to me and the widow, but not anybody else who was in the room mourning the dead guy.

00:02:20 - 00:02:30 | Speaker 4:

Oh. You know? So, wait. The dead guy. So, the dead man's wife, the widow, was the person that you were doing. And who are these people?

00:02:30 - 00:03:54 | Speaker 3:

Just a family friend of mine had a death in the family. And so I actually didn't know the man who died very well or his widow. And I actually was meeting her for the first time at the funeral. Oh, what a place. I know. I know. And she was an icon. She was a legend. She's who I want to be when I grow up. I hit it off with this woman who is the widow. Like, we are going to be best friends. We are going to be, like, what is it called? like fast thieves or whatever together like we we're gonna commit crimes and i'm gonna be your getaway driver yes like she is my favorite person i think on this planet she's so funny so funny in fact that i was dying laughing now she's the widow so she's front row at this funeral and i'm cackling like a mad woman at how inappropriate she's being at her husband's funeral with me while meeting for the first time and everybody else is very morose very quiet it's very subdued and her and i are just laughing it up in front of everybody in front of all the photos in front of the urn in front of everything and we look well i look so disrespectful it's not even funny so to all the people who knew me they're like well that's exactly how megan would behave at a funeral and to everybody who didn't know me they were like what is she doing making a mockery

00:03:54 - 00:04:04 | Speaker 4:

of this holy institution was was the the widow um was was she like just that was her her emotions

00:04:04 - 00:04:42 | Speaker 3:

coming out through laughter or how was it let me tell you this woman had tears streaming down her face uncontrollably while saying the most horrific things trying to get me to laugh and make me feel comfortable she was perfection and i was obsessed with her and she knows my dad very well and was like i really hope you put him in his place and like i hope you you make sure that you know he doesn't feel like he'll ever have a funeral quite like this where people care you know like she was just cracking me up the entire time and i was like i i need to spend more time with you i'll bring the bottle of wine tell me more things you hate about my dad please i love

00:04:42 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 4:

this i always love uh you know my mom's funeral was kind of like that too like everybody like we had the the case of the misfits because my mom used to always have like like she would take everybody in yeah you know we had christmas dinner and we'd be like who's that person at the end of our table mom just met her at jewel

00:05:00 - 00:05:24 | Speaker 5:

that was the food the grocery store in chicago but the long long story short we my mom had an irish uh uh funeral irish wake because there was alcohol served oh yeah at the wake so that's how people laughing and having fun and people walk i remember the funeral director uh mr she he goes be honest with you i've never seen anything like this before but that's how i want mine to be that's

00:05:24 - 00:05:44 | Speaker 3:

how it should be yeah like i feel if i saw that and i didn't know who you were i'd be like i wish that i had that effect on this poor woman who lost her husband right you know like you're making her making her laugh yeah in a time which everybody else i feel like is like walking on eggshells

00:05:44 - 00:05:54 | Speaker 4:

which by the way i felt proud of that like i felt proud that in five minutes i could make her laugh and we were having a great time and holding hands and whatever but everybody around us was like time

00:05:54 - 00:05:58 | Speaker 3:

in place time well i love that time and place you just met your new best friend at a funeral

00:05:58 - 00:06:12 | Speaker 5:

is that's that's kind of interesting has anybody ever had that happen to them where they they literally had a meeting like this where they met somebody at a funeral uh which is kind of wild but in itself but the weird thing is have you ever gone to a funeral for somebody you don't even

00:06:12 - 00:06:27 | Speaker 4:

know like did you know this person alive um have you ever met not not well not well at all but i don't think you go to funerals necessarily for the person that died so i right you're going i went For like people I knew very well who are affected by this death.

00:06:27 - 00:07:01 | Speaker 5:

I think there are two places that I do not want to go unless I actually have had a personal relationship with the person. One is a funeral. That just seems wild to go to a funeral, you know, and you don't really know the person. And I've done it, you know, pay respects because you had relations with them business-wise or something like that. The other is a wedding. I hate going to a wedding and I've never met the couple. and I'm there at the wedding going, and I've had this before, like friends of Chelsea's from like growing up and stuff. And I'm at, you know, you go to the wedding and you're like, I have no idea who these people are.

00:07:01 - 00:07:02 | Speaker 4:

Yeah.

00:07:02 - 00:07:15 | Speaker 5:

Like I'm sitting there. Matter of fact, if it wasn't that they were in that nice white dress and he was in a nice tuxedo, like I couldn't pick him between the groomsmen. Wait, why would you go to the wedding? Because it was a school who had friends of Chelsea. So, yeah.

00:07:15 - 00:07:16 | Speaker 3:

Oh, I got you.

00:07:16 - 00:07:19 | Speaker 5:

Yeah, and she lived in another city. Like we never really hung out.

00:07:19 - 00:07:21 | Speaker 3:

At least Chelsea knew. I thought you just meant like

00:07:21 - 00:07:32 | Speaker 5:

it was truly like when her friends when her friend jenny got married to brian i had no i never knew brian i had no idea who brian was i couldn't pick brian out of a freaking crowd i just i just got

00:07:32 - 00:07:48 | Speaker 3:

asked to be an officiant i cannot say that word is that right i got asked to be an officiant for wedding where i know the bride but i've never met the groom that's wild yeah so i have to get to know that him and them before their their wedding listen or can you just show up and read what

00:07:48 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 5:

they tell you to online no why not i don't want to i've officiated plenty of weddings where i didn't know either of them i got a producer on the show going hey you're gonna marry so-and-so christ yeah you're there i'm like having to read their names on a piece of paper like 20 times to

00:08:04 - 00:08:23 | Speaker 2:

make sure i didn't say it wrong i remember my mom told me to come to somebody funeral he was a part of our family somebody cousins cousins cousins never knew this dude's name i had to go to the window and show him a picture like do you know where this guy's is and the lady leaning up to the window trying to see oh he in that room oh my god one of my favorite stories i think i ever told

00:08:23 - 00:08:29 | Speaker 5:

on the air was my buddy keith janky's uh mom died and i went to the wrong funeral i remember that

00:08:29 - 00:08:35 | Speaker 3:

not just the wrong room the total wrong funeral home and i went to the wrong funeral home for

00:08:35 - 00:08:55 | Speaker 5:

the wake and i walk in i'm like i don't know anybody here like i had no clue yeah and then i had to kind of like figure out because because keith's you know uh mom's name like that wasn't on the board or whatever you know do you sit in the back no i this is the wake so you walk up and greet the family wait so i'm looking at the family like i have no idea who you are what's up robin

00:08:55 - 00:09:15 | Speaker 1:

hi hi how are you good what's going on oh nothing i was just calling to tell you at my mom's funeral we didn't realize that no food was allowed and we started ended up everyone brings food to the funeral and we started tailgating in the parking lot and the police were called and then they

00:09:15 - 00:09:22 | Speaker 5:

started tailgating with us so wait who called who called the police the funeral home i don't know

00:09:22 - 00:09:26 | Speaker 1:

they were part of it they're eating the tailgating too it was everyone was eating there was so much

00:09:26 - 00:09:32 | Speaker 5:

food that is why it's wild that they called the police on that whole thing it's like why are these

00:09:32 - 00:09:36 | Speaker 4:

people doing it you ever tailgate somewhere inappropriately well we tailgated at shannie's

00:09:36 - 00:09:41 | Speaker 3:

granny's funeral and honestly that's exactly what she would have wanted yeah i tailgated at the

00:09:41 - 00:09:53 | Speaker 4:

hospital really yeah while my grandfather was dying oh man yeah we were out in the parking lot getting smashed yeah it was so bad cannot believe we didn't get kicked off the premises

00:09:53 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 5:

um thank you for the call i appreciate it i have another question i want to throw out there chelsea and i were having a conversation about like what do we

00:10:00 - 00:10:25 | Speaker 4:

do past radio life like what would be my career and stuff like that chelsea came up with an idea somebody needs to tell me if this is the case she said let's buy a funeral home oh she said let's become funeral home owners and i said well don't you have to be a funeral director and she goes we can hire a funeral director because anybody know if you can buy funeral homes and are they lucrative they are very lucrative people are dying all the time right yes and i looked into it uh not too

00:10:25 - 00:10:31 | Speaker 2:

long ago and the thing that held me back was i needed to go back for another four-year degree Really? If it was a shorter program, I probably would have done it.

00:10:31 - 00:10:32 | Speaker 4:

Even if you were just a financial investor?

00:10:32 - 00:10:42 | Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, I don't have that kind of money behind me, so I was looking to do like the actual funeral director. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why would you want to do that?

00:10:42 - 00:10:56 | Speaker 4:

She just said, she goes, it seems like it's a dying business. No, it's a grand business. No, she just said, she goes, there's always funerals all the time. It's a new client every day. But do it kind of nice. Like, do it special. Like, instead of, like, make it more.

00:10:56 - 00:11:04 | Speaker 3:

When I lived in Atlanta, funerals were, they had planners, like weddings, like wedding planners, but they were celebration planners.

00:11:06 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 4:

I'll be honest with you. I think the funeral homes here all have bad furniture.

00:11:10 - 00:11:10 | Speaker 3:

They do.

00:11:11 - 00:11:49 | Speaker 4:

It's 1988. The walls feel like they were cheap. You know what I mean? Like make the house a home home. Like make it something that's nice, like that you would invite family into and make it something that's a little bit celebratory of the person's life and not mourning death. And there's a funeral home that I've had numerous funerals that I've had to go to, obviously named after a person's family and stuff like that. And I don't want to say it, but it could be the most mundane thing. I told Chelsea, I said, if I die, I want you to have mine at the frickin Palazzo Grande on the east side of town. Isn't that what it's called, Lydia, by your house? What is it called? Palazzo Grande. Yeah, I wanted to have it there.

00:11:49 - 00:11:54 | Speaker 3:

Wait, that's the actual name? It's not a funeral home. It's like where weddings happen.

00:11:54 - 00:12:05 | Speaker 1:

Well, Kaldans actually go to venues like that and they mourn. So we do like mourning parties. Mourning. Oh, really? I want Hennessy, a flowing. You just don't see the body.

00:12:05 - 00:12:09 | Speaker 4:

I want angels and me being drunk. I want people having fun.

00:12:09 - 00:12:19 | Speaker 3:

I maintain, how weird is it that we make dead bodies look good and then just stare at them? It is the weirdest thing. Please do not do that.

00:12:19 - 00:12:23 | Speaker 4:

I want mine not in a casket. I want mine standing up.

00:12:23 - 00:12:26 | Speaker 5:

Like, it's the weirdest thing.

00:12:27 - 00:12:36 | Speaker 4:

My dead body is going to be standing up like a mannequin at Macy's. And it's going to be in the corner and people are going to go, God damn, he looks good. Seriously.

00:12:36 - 00:12:39 | Speaker 3:

We'll position you behind a board like this with a microphone.

00:12:40 - 00:12:50 | Speaker 4:

And I want the photo booth people that come to parties taking pictures with people and people getting like hats and boas and all that stuff and putting them on them like they do.

00:12:50 - 00:12:55 | Speaker 2:

A step and repeat behind you. That 360 camera so we get a full 360 of your dead body.

00:12:55 - 00:13:03 | Speaker 4:

I want, like, full on, we're having fun at this party at the Palazzo Grande. And, you know, people bringing food.

00:13:03 - 00:13:17 | Speaker 2:

Have you had these conversations, though? Because, like, I've had conversations with the people that do my hair and makeup being like, this is what I want to look like. And my brother knows what outfit I want to wear. Like, have you had those conversations? All the, I have them with my kids.

00:13:18 - 00:13:36 | Speaker 3:

I have them with Wes. All the time. So do I. confetti cannons and lucy knows this she was at lacrosse practice on sunday and she must have been telling some of her friends about it and she screams across the court mom tell everybody what song you want played at your funeral defying gravity guys there you go defying gravity confetti

Twyla-la. What's up? Hi.

00:14:28 - 00:15:00 | Speaker 6:

I was calling about the laughing story. So I went to my friend's mom's funeral. I had never met her mother, but I went to support her. And she's standing at the casket crying just by herself. So I'm like, nobody's supporting her. I'll go, which left me sitting next to her. Well, partway through the funeral, she didn't realize it was me. she identified me by the tattoo on my leg and she gasped really loud and we locked eyes and we start cracking up laughing but it's someone's reading the obituary and the girl reading the obituary mispronounced the name and we

00:15:00 - 00:15:15 | Speaker 3:

lost it so we are dying laughing in the middle of her mom's funeral and her siblings are like elbowing me but we could not stop laughing that's awesome it was insane that is incredible i love it

00:15:15 - 00:15:19 | Speaker 7:

you know what that's the kind of funeral will you come to mine i want you to be there okay

00:15:19 - 00:15:36 | Speaker 3:

i will and then real quick my grandmother just passed away in september she planned her funeral We didn't have to do much. She showed us what she had in the folder with pictures she wanted, like who she wanted to sing, what happened. And we we did that. The pictures part to me is sad.

00:15:36 - 00:15:39 | Speaker 5:

Like she was like, I don't trust you to pick up pictures.

00:15:40 - 00:15:44 | Speaker 7:

That's the thing. People always pick out these pictures. Thank you for the call.

00:15:44 - 00:15:50 | Speaker 5:

Why do I also picture you, Mojo, not in a casket, but like in a queen size bed? And you are inviting people to lay down and take pictures with you.

00:15:51 - 00:15:53 | Speaker 7:

That would be fantastic. Now I just change my mind.

00:15:53 - 00:15:57 | Speaker 5:
