(03:20):
about this, I know so soso mister Willie Jacobs, y'all is here
for my first time listeners. Theymay even be a first time called first
time listener, somebody listening for thefirst time Willie Jacobs and they are probably
saying, well, what she's talkingabout Willie Jacobs's final expense agency, What

(03:40):
is that all about? Final expensefor what? That's your final expenses that
you will have to pay when youcheck out off your bail. Okay,
it's your final expenses that you willleave in charge, leave your loved ones
in charge of how oh day youwanted everything taken care of when you exit

(04:02):
this world. Okay, no responsibilitiesare left on anyone else, because you
are that responsible individual who's gonna takecare of all your final expenses, and
you're gonna have all the everything playingout before you leave out. You know,
Willie, I thought about you onFriday last Friday, probably why well,

(04:23):
I would my my sorority sister.We were having her wake and we
have Omega Mega Services. Yeah,my wife was there. Oh what she
well, she probably didn't see you, she said. It was a lot
of people. Oh yeah, itwas packed. Yeah, my my,
my dear sweet Sora Lord's Jean Streeteragain. But I was thinking about and

(04:44):
when they were doing the little service, you know, the Delta's jewis,
and one of the Sora said said, this is what laws wanted. She
wanted me to say this, thisis how she wanted it. And I
completely thought about you. When youalways talk about when we talk about final
expenses, and we talk about Lincolnhero adage that you can get what you

(05:04):
want. How you want and howyou want, and it hurt. The
service was beautiful, but I rememberMayor Helen said, she said this was
laws wanted me to say this.She wanted me to do this, and
you may have it. It makesa difference, It does ba because you
know, when you see a personfor the last time, you want that
to be a memory. Right.You want to say that is what she

(05:27):
really would have wanted, that washer right, that was her Yeah.
And you know, you know you'veever been to a funerals where people people
get up there and say things aboutthis particular person and you look around and
say, what are they talking about? Right? Exactly, because I know
Hompo wouldn't like that. He wouldn'tlike it. He wasn't done. No,
he loved the Lord and he nogood way. He didn't even go

(05:49):
to church exactly. So you know, when we talk about final expense bill,
we talk about the opportunity for youto take care of your loved ones
and yourself and your business. Youdon't want to leave anybody holding the bag
about a responsibility that was yours.You got me. We have so many

(06:10):
people now that say they cannot affordour plans and we want you to know
that we are very very affordable.Okay. All you have to do is
call that number of nine zero oneto six zero twenty thirty five, that's
nine zero one to six zero twentythirty five, and tell them what you
really want to try to do,okay, and we do also bel we

(06:33):
do. You know, sometimes peoplehave plans that they've had for a while,
and we do free analyzations so thatyou can know exactly the plan that
you have now is it going tobe in place when that time comes for
you or do you need to getsomething else or add to it? Okay,
So it's very important that you knowexactly what you have and make sure

(06:57):
that you have it pay for inwriting how you want your services done,
Okay, we will do it foryou here at the Jacobs Final Expense Agency.
And all you have to do iscall us at nine zero one two
six zero twenty thirty five. Sowhy do you think, Willy, And
maybe you've been on there a lotof times and for our folks who are

(07:21):
listening for the first time and saying, well, missus Jacobs, I can't
afford your plan. But you alwaysuse this scenario that you may ask a
person do you smoke? Exactly?And then I would ask them, really,

(07:42):
I don't know if you all youragents say what can you afford those
cigarettes that you're buying exactly? Andthey say, yeah, well I really
can't. You know, they say, they say, you not really,
but it's a habit, and I'mgonna take care of that habit. I'm
gonna take care of my habit.Okay. And so we say, well,
this, this is what we tellthem, Ma Bell. We said,
listen, let's do this. Let'smake sure. Would you want to

(08:07):
leave your wife or your mother,or your sister, your daughter, your
son, taking care of your responsibilityyou leave? No, No, I
want to do that. So let'sdo this. How much the cigarettes?
Cause, now, Bill, Iheard the cigarettes as well. I heard
this. I heard, Now,this is what I had heard. You
know, had you have my littlegranddaughter? This is what I had heard.

(08:28):
Okay, I heard, I heard. What did you hear? I
heard? The cigarettes was over tendollars a pack? Wow, I don't
know fifteen In some places they twentydollars a pack. Do you actually believe
that people are paying fifteen to twentydollars back of cigarettes? I can't believe

(08:50):
that bell and listen, they smokea pack of day. Now, let's
let's just do the math on fifteeneight dollars, bail go and do the
math. Fifteen dollars just for fivedays, five times five twenty five five
dollars five math. Yeah, that'sseventy five dollars per week. And that's

(09:18):
not the whole seven days, amI right? Yeah, that's seventy five
dollars. Oh, that's sixty fivedollars. Wow, Okay, that's sixty
five dollars. So you're telling ourlisteners that the Jacob's final expense agency is

(09:41):
affordabull from starting as little as fifteendollars per month. Not everybody will qualify
for a fifty, but you haveto call us it now on one two
six zero twenty thirty five. Sweet. What you qualify, you qualify you.
What you're saying to people is reallythat it can start at fifteen dollars

(10:01):
on up on up exactly, andwe do cover everyone all the way up
to ages eighty five to eighty five, ages eighty five and bail up.
The other good thing about it,where other companies do not cover you if
you have some type of illness suchas you might have heart disease, or
you might have kidney's disease, oryou might have a high blood pressure or

(10:26):
sugar diabetes as they would say COPD. Any of those things. Other people
won't charge you, or if theydo, they charge you an extronomical amount.
Okay. But we here at theJacobs Finally Agency through Lincoln Heritage,

always a pleasure talking with you.Beth. And I want to say to
mister Willy I signed my son upfor the Lincoln Heritage Insurance almost two years
now because I was listening to himyour show, okay, and I was

(23:00):
like, it's just something about peoplefrom the South. You guys are so
convincing. You know, my parentsare from the South. They're from Mississippi.
My mom's still here, she's ninetyyears old, doing well good and
uh yeah, so and yes,the cigarette is out sixteen dollars a pack.
What fifteen dollars hours off of dollarsdollars a pack? Sixteen yes,

(23:27):
yes, but then if you ifyou want to drive over to Indiana,

So it doesn't really matter to me. Yeah, you know, Pat,
you're in Illinois. What's your what'syour little city name? Call you that
park? Okay? Okay in Illinois. Yeah, right down right down the

(23:48):
street from Chicago. I'm five minutesaway from my mom's house. Okay.
But you know, I really reallyreally enjoy listening to you guys because you're
so beb. You have a bestguest on your show, you really do.
And mister Jacobs, he had givenme the hookup to call somebody here,
because I was saying that I wantedto get insurance from my son,

(24:12):
and like you were saying, it'slike it's really a trip. Because my
mom used to say, she said, Wow, that's why I insured all
my kids until y'all got grown andgot jobs. You know, you have
insurance on your jobs, you said, because I'm not gonna be selling no
fish dinners and chicken dinner's trying tobury you. And so that's why I

(24:33):
make sure my son has insurance.My husband has insurance to his job,
and I have insurance so we don'tgo through that. But I'm like,
wow, people should take heed tothis because I don't like looking on my
Facebook page and you have a gofundme page. But then yeah, when

(24:53):
you get to the funeral, youall shop, you got on you got
a eighteen downs dollars casket and allof this fancy to do, but then
you don't know how you're gonna payfor it. I don't understand that.
But anyway, thank you, thankyou, thank you for your information.

(25:14):
And I hope you guys have awonderful Fourth of July and be safe and
you too, pat and be safe. Thank you for listening. As always.
All right, beb, I'm stillgonna try to get there for August
seventeenth to hang with you for theTrusty Blues. All right, I'll be
looking for you, Pat. Allright, you guys, take care YouTube

(25:37):
Bye bye, b w D.I a captain, big that captain.
Look at it, y'all put themfish places back up over there. Look
at I got them on the phonenow. Listener, Hey, mister Willie,
I want to say this to youhere because it ain't like it used
to be here. I know whenI was boy, they took two dollars
shoes, all the curre and Iunders and they said, y'all get hit

(26:00):
by a car or anything, Igot your covered. They will tell us
all the time we walking around theproject down. I didn't understand why you
want to take an insurance on children. We don't live forever, ain't nothing
along with us. But they saidwe got something on you. It wasn't
life insurance. I'm telling folks.The life insurance paid the folk there.
But then they said we got somethingto cover you with. Because they were
talking about that box and me beinga big boy, my daddy used to

(26:22):
always tell me, he said,they make things big enough for you.
Boy, you're living like you don'tcare. I said, I don't care.
He said, well, they gota box big enough for you.
He may make one bigger than swimmingpool. Put you in. Put you
on the back of a truck.If they can't put you in the back
of the wagon. And I usedto look at them. That don't make
no sense. So I hung outall the time. I did make it
to my seving it. But I'msaying the other folk out of here.
If you got children. The mantalking about it, he was, let

(26:47):
me get it right, doctor.I told doctor Bell, folks, you
need to write a catalog on it, because she can make some money off
the book. Telling us go toUrstler, want and get your insuring.
I mean not, I get yourattorney that can write out your wheels.
That ain't got nothing to do withwhat this man talking about. You got
a wheel, you got life insurance. You go and get your life insurance.
He may be handling that too.But then he says, she got

(27:08):
a lawyer for your wreaths. Allthese folks for you, they've got them,
and she got all the stuff youneed. Now she got a man
that say you don't have to passthe hat this weekend, next weekend.
You ain't gotta go get no fish, hide as it there. You ain't
gonna make no money off of playingcard and you want to fit back in
the day you made a little moneyraise for a funeral, not no more.
You don't make nothing out of that. But he said, just a

(27:30):
little bit of change, you canget you some burial insurance, which we
call past the hat, instead ofgoing around telling folks, come here,
bring some money. You gotta comesfrom out of town, spend all your
money getting here, then Mississippi comingup. Well, he got you covered
where it's already told and weighed outthe way you want it. But the
man telling you the children are leavinghere before us. So it makes sense

(27:52):
if you see June Bug them Cookieand Ray Ray and them living in any
kind of way is to get himthe sign the paper. You be the
benefish area where it'll go ahead,go through the funeral home paid for.
Everybody's announcing everything right. The mantelling you, right if you get somebody
killed that a gas station. Anythingcould happen anytime. But it's different from
life insurance, car insuring. Theman tell you don't even think of the

(28:15):
insurance. Just think about what's gonnahappen, and it's your child or anything
happening other than your dog. Hegot it covered. You'll do it the
way you want it. So I'masking everybody shining the boy, whether you're
driving cooks, say I got moneystacked over here, I got this,
I got cars, motorcycle, boat. Put some of it on some hard
head folks that you know, theywalking around here any kind of way,

(28:37):
living in any kind of way.Yeah, they might outlive you, but
he don't want nothing to happen tothem. But then they don't care.
So Mike, you said, youstill got to put them away. You
gotta put them away, your folks. This man here took his mama in.
She over the age eighty five.He said, take an in.
That's a mama's boy, good man. Take your family in like that.
I thank God for you and thatlady pat taking care of your older folks,
because I wonder all the time who'sgonna take care of and I all

(29:00):
ain't gonna take care of them.You got to do it. Thank God
for you. They just took careof her. We thank you. But
Bell, please write uh some kindof catalog or directory because the people you
have on will show our favorite informative. Now my friends listening listen to me.
I want to listen to you.But I said, thank God for
you and the ones on that andagain, have a safe holiday and everything.
And you all right, captain,thank you you too. I appreciate

(29:23):
you. Captain, thank you somuch. W D I a high caller?
Hey chaplain? Comings, how areyou? Oh? Just great?

and tell you exactly what you haveto do. If they want to need

(31:14):
to come out to your house,they will. If you want to just
for me to call you and doit over the phone, they can do
it. But you probably wanted tocome out so you can sit there and
listen to them and ask them questions. Okay, okay, I give him
my sister, we'll do it together. Then there you go, there,
you go there you do, Chaplin, com y, we appreciate you here

Lord, Lord, hell Merchant,Chaplain, I know, and Chaplain comes
out. I just want to say, Harry Old told me he met you.
Yeah, your pictures. Yeah,yeah, he showed me your picture.
So now I know how you look. Chaplin comings Old picture. That's
okay, but but but good.But I'm so glad you called. But

(32:01):
see, I'm glad Chaplain coming asyou called and said that, because what
did he say? Willie? Theygot me again? They got him again,
and we told him I don't payno money on nobody's funeral chapel.
But I told you my mom mademe pay for my sisters. I mean,
yeah, my sister's funeral who wehad to get from Kansas City to
here. But she made me dothat. But I don't normally know because

(32:22):
Chaplain, I've been doing this forover thirty years, uh thirty five years,
and and and we've been we've beensigning, we've been sounding the alarm
for a long long time. AndI've had my own agency. I've had
my own agency for over twelve years, and we've been sounding alarm, letting
them know, look, this iswhat you need to do. So what
it don't make sense for when somebodyyou know that they've been hearing you for

(32:45):
all this time and then all ofa sudden they died and they expect for
you to help him. Oh no, I that that just don't sit right
with me. But I understand.Sometimes you have to do what you have
to do, and and uh,that's what you have to do. But
we are telling people out here herehow very important it is for them to
get covered and get the loved onescovered, you know, and it's just

(33:06):
not fair. It's just not fairfor them to, you know, spend
your heart earned money chaplain instead ofthere. Okay, so one year love
job and they're not twenty years andthey personne there you go, that's right,
Well call them chaplains and they theythey'll they'll come out and talk to

(33:52):
and and the thing about it,Bell, Yeah, that's his money,
that's his sister's money, right,that's their money, right. That ain't
nobody else money. People work hardfor them, They work hard for their
money. And he spent all thoseyears and the services doing what he do
and for him to have to spendmoney on somebody else's responsibility, that don't
make sense. People. Please,let's let's not be that way. Call

(34:15):
us today and find out what itwould cost you and your loved ones at
nine zero one two six zero twentythirty five. Make sure you do it
today, okay. Just like Isaid earlier, you don't have to have

take care of this, okay,And we want you to do it today.

when you call about the final expenses, tell them the things that they can
expect. How you get you know, so you could they will know the
information exactly. So what happens isonce you call and get certified and get

(35:00):
the agents will take care of youand get you qualified. Okay, then
you're gonna wait a couple of weeksthat they're gonna send you a policy.
However, on those forms, it'sgonna tell you, asks you how you
want to be put away, whereyou want to be put away, what
church, what pastor what songs youwant sing, what you want to wear,
how much you want to spend.All of that is on that form

(35:22):
final wish, Form A and B. You send those forms back to the
company and we put into high consand guess what at that time, you
know when something would happen to you, then your loved one, your beneficiary
is gonna call the office or callthe home office and they're going to pull
out exactly what you put down thatyou wanted to do. And that's what's

(35:45):
gonna happen. The funeral home thatyou chose, We're going to talk to
that funeral home and get the pricethat you say that you want to pay
and only that amount and the balanceof that will go to your beneficiary.
That's what happens. And you know, a lot of times, Bill would
happen. When people pass away,you know they haven't they hadn't done any

(36:07):
planning. Then all of them willhave to go to the kitchen table.
And when they go to the kitchentable, then that's where all the disturbance
starts. That's where all the misunderstandingsare right there, about what mom wanted,
what sister wanted, what the brotherwanted. One say he wanted a
blue suit, the other one sayhe wanted a black suit. The other
one say he wanted a stripers suit. The other one say you want a

(36:29):
red suit. Whatever it is,it's everybody's different. So at the end
they fall out about that, andthey fall out about the money, yes
they do. They fall out aboutthe money because you had not put nothing
in right, or who you wantto get the money, or who how
you want everything divided. But wewill do that for you before you pass
