Speaker 1 (00:44):
K you guys? The Pope is having a hell of
a time changing his address from Chicago to well, you know,
the Vatican. And I gotta tell you this story. It's hysterical.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
It is a wild story. Indeed it is. I have
a new complaint.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Sounds like you feel like it's wild.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
It is, but I don't want to I don't want
to say too much, because then it gives the story away.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, don't do that. Gets mad and I don't want
to be doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
And then sometimes, you know, I used to guess about
a story and then I was right, yeah, and then
I got in trouble. So I just don't Now I'm
just like, wow, I cannot wait to learn about that.

Speaker 1 (01:16):

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Well, you're you're a you're a big time media journalist,
and I'm sure you've got to be able to meet
him somehow. I don't think I could sneak in on it,
you know, so you have to do some sort of right, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Kinda sit down.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, I want to be friends of management.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Friends management of the Pope. I mean, he was an
altar boy, just that part of it. You can just
call him up.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
I probably have my little license thing off the cloth
as well. I don't know there's probably some certificate and
that I was blessed.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
He really did it.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
And not only were you an alter boy, Jason, you
were the lead older boy.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, the first one carrying the cross yep for all
the special events. So I got all those baptisms, those
funerals because you get that money you need get a
little tip o.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Wait a minute, if you guys used to get pete
for funerals.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Oh yeah, you wanted the funerals in the weddings and
the baptisms because then you get some money. I mean,
do you want to try to be the best? Do
you get booked for though you get the high dollars
And if you were.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
The lead, then you would get booked first. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well yeah, you the lead person is the one that
does the most.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Wow. Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
And so you're like, oh, man, mister Smith died. That sucks,
But that's a good that's a solid twenty right there.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
You're looking to that funeral able, Wow, that's awful, that's
gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
He might as well get his coin, right, Yeah, I'm working.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Wonder where else is preying on the dead in the
week the ultra boys? Who else favors?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Who has a funeral business, you know, yeah, funeral yep, Yeah,
she's business. Oh yeah, I mean you're always gonna have
a client.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, I thought about that too.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
You know, my grandparents have a they're in a mausoleum
in Arizona where they lived, and it is a fancy
my mom calls it the condo. It was pretty expensive
and also also strange. Also also also strange, it's Friday,
is that my grandmother picked it out because my grandfather
died first, and so we went to the place and
she chose the place. And then knowing that, you know,

(03:25):
it turned out a year later she lived there too,
right there next to him. But it was in like
a glass sort of room and it had a view,
and my mom and grandmother insisted on the one with
a view, the condo with a view, because it has
a glass front and you can like put pictures and
stuff in there or whatever.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
But I thought about this.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
It was very expensive, and then I'm like, well, how
in one hundred years, no one's gonna know who my
grandparents were. No one is going to know who my
parents were. No, maybe no one will know who I am.
In one hundred years, they're gonna tear that thing down
and build right on top of it, aren't they and
then sell it again, you know, the Smith family mortuary.
They're just it's just generational, right, because you don't get

(04:04):
it forever, because who's gonna be who's gonna know? So
I've never read the fine print on the deal, but
I bet somewhere deep in there it's like it's got
to be you know, a couple of generations from now.
We can tear this thing down and then just build
right on top of it.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
We'll talk about you your family. We still talk about
people like one hundred years back in our family and
like you, you know, you made a career of your
you made something of yourself.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
I can only imagine what with the with the conversation, Well,
but thank god he didn't bro create.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
