Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's no such thing as a recession in my business.
It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Before we get to that. Joe was out for a
little bit during the radio show today, and when he
came back, he was talking about having walk up music
like the baseball players have.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, that'd be really cool. I mean, just just to
psych up like that and get pumped up and the
whole crowds with you and everything. Walk up music for
real life. I like that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So Hansen came up with He asked AI to come
up with walk up music for Joe, and he's got
three different examples, I guess, which are all terrible, I'm told. Anyway,
let's hear them.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Before before you hit that. I think that the good
folks might find this at least mildly interesting. We can't
play like recognizable songs anymore, at least not much of
like a song, you know, a song that's been on
the radio, song that's been published, because the radio industry
has had decades long agreements with the licensing services about
(01:01):
playing music on the radio. But the world of podcasting
is new, and they just they don't have an agreement
that works. And so, you know, the various companies that
we do business with could be on the receiving end
of some unpleasant legal action. And so if we're going
to come up with music like this, I mean I
could mention some existing songs that'd be great walk up
(01:24):
music for me.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't understand why people hold to that in the
modern world. If I'm a band, I want people playing
my music is often as much. I don't care if
I don't get a cent I want it out there
people thinking about it, thinking, oh, yeah, that song, I
want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
But yeah, I don't know exactly what the dynamics are there.
It could be the licensing companies themselves that are they're
struggling for relevance in the twenty first century. I don't know.
But anyway, AI, which is the new frontier Jack, Katie Michael,
this is going to lead us into the brave new world.
AI has come up with some for me specifically, Yeah,
(02:00):
Joe Getty walk up. He's oh, this is exciting.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Wow, I can picture this. I can picture you walking
into a room with this music frame.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I feel like I'm a shirtless Viking.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, you're clearly.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Shirtless, blowing my long hair.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
It's funny. I was picturing shirtless also oily shiny. And
you walk into a room and I see you looking around,
gazing around the room.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
See, I'm not in a room in this city. I
feel like I'm up on the top of a cliff
across the scene.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm picturing the Gollum picture.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
We aid, not too hard, not too long, agoffl Wow,
my big local prophets.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, okay, so there's one. But to get away from
the theme of what we're talking about here, how about
the fact that, hey, I created that. That sounds like
something some Oscar winning music composer for a motion picture
got paid a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
For right, and we all know his name because he
wins Oscars.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It is amazing and scary and discouraging and fun all
at once.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Anyway, HiT's her another one.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Apparently, I'm hosting a morning TV show with Kelly rip
On in this scenario, I feel like you're pointing to
a lot of people in the crowd in this one.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Huh, there you are.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And here's a shot of me with my head thrown
back offing. Here's a shot of me rubbing my chin
looking thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yes, yes, this is exactly I went to Snooze E
seven with Joe Getty. It's got you, you know, when
your sleeves rolled up at a fire.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It sounds like more like a morning TV for house
frous boy.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Okay, that was two. Let's hear number three. Now, I
feel like you're hosting a Paget.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Wow or an a words show.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, man, I certainly picture you with your jacket off,
slung over your shoulder with this music.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, yes, Hanson said he was trying to get at
like the theme from Rocky ish Field Going, but this
feels more Awards show to me.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
This could be the music for a sitcom in the eighties.
Their dad comes home, while there's the kids, there's mom
in the kitchen. Why's dad mad?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Starring Joe Geddy? Right?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Why is dad mad?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Patricia Heaton?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What a good thing for a show? Why is dad mad?
I like that first one though, Give me the first
one again, just briefly, because I want I want that
play when I want to.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Take my shirt off again when I'm at home, walk.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Through the door at home. I want my kids to
play this. Go ahead and play yes when I get
that is hope? Father, father?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
How have you a Telly's tree? Did you baba, I'll
take you about half an hour to get home, thanks
for asking me.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, this is some swelling music.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Your shirt. Your woman appears at the other end of
the field with her hair, her hair also blowing.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In the wind, and she needs me so badly now,
certainly within the next hour. So okay, that's enough of
those hijinks.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Wow, Wow, Viking or Scotsman. Maybe even weren't a kilt
in that one. I don't know it all right. So
my only complaint about when I have to take a
little time off is Jack always has our favorite guests on.
I cheat selfishly hoarding them to himself, even though I
would be delighted to talk to them. And I miss
(05:48):
not only a chat with the great Tim Sanderfer today,
although he we got an email. I saw that he
is against originalism in scott constitutional analysis.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Well, you're getting in, you're slicing it thin now, he's
a textualist, not an originalist. I mean, it's yeah, you
got to you gotta look into that stuff and understand.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
It, right, right, Okay, fair enough, But always love talking
to him and listening to him. But also, judge, Larry,
you got to talk to Katie's dad judge Larry Hey today. Well, right,
but not only was he a judge, he was an
embalmer about that trade. How'd that chat go?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I'm sorry. The reason I ask is, I just came
across this article in the Free Press. I'm a mortician.
I love my job, and he explains why, and it's
really quite eloquent and beautiful. Hmm.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
What about the creepy factor? They're dead, dead bodies?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Yeah, I just I think you get past that pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm not sure everybody does. I think you're either built
forward or you're not.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
That was one of the things that my dad mentioned
is that my grandfather was a surgeon and my grandmother
was a nurse, so he was, you know, kind of
used to the medical world and ended up becoming an
EMT and not.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
The first time he's been around a dead body, because
he talked about he got the job at the funeral
home or whatever, and then he kind of jumped to
so I was down there with the dead bodies.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Well, whoa, whoa, whoa?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
How do you how do you end up? I mean,
because I'd never been around a dead body when I
was eighteen years old, and I certainly wasn't like feeling one,
manipulating one, dressing it, that sort of stuff. Right, So, yeah,
you have to ease into that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I'd imagine it only takes a little while, though. I mean,
you seem to suggest that you just some people couldn't ever,
and that's probably true. But I think for a lot
of us, you just you get come to terms with
the reality. I toured a morgue, a county morgue, and
I went from I was never freaked out. I was
(07:42):
concerned that I might be freaked out, but then I
don't surrounded by all those poor deceased people. Pretty pretty
you pretty quickly get used to the idea and except
the reality of it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I don't mind being around dead people. I don't
believe in ghosts or anything like that, so that doesn't
bother me. I don't want to be touching them, though,
I don't want to be like undressing them and putting
pants on them and stuff like that. I wouldn't really
enjoy that. I'm sure you could get Anybody can get
used to anything, but it's more of a do you
want to get used to?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Is the question when when you know, when your boss says,
how'd you like to start dressing the corpses, and you think,
I think there's other things I'd rather do.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, I guess the gig. If he tells you, hey,
I need you to do that, you do it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
That's exactly what he said. That's exactly what Katie's dad said.
The boss told me I had to do it, so
I just did it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And he talked about, uh, dressing one guy whose legs
kept recrossing. He would uncross them to put the socks on,
and then go around and crossed again, and then they'd
cross and he said, after relax that way, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Did he did he get to the body noises?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
We didn't. We didn't say about that.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah. I think that's probably the more recently passed that.
There are various expulsions, and often they will result in
like groans. Oh no, that would freak me the fuck out. Sorry,
sorry for the bleeping.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
If I'm at the Morgan, they're in the and then
that shelf thing there, or like the sock drawer, you
push them in there. Yeah, and now I hear a
moan out of there. I think I gotta at least
do my due diligence and check.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And see if this person's alive.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean, jeez, that a dead groan?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Or is that an I'm still here grown?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Is that let me out here? What the hell am
I doing in a drawer drown Is this merely the
contraction of the human body passing wind past your vocal
cords making noise? Or is this person fine and wants out?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Well?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You see those stories of people that you know, they
go get to the funeral home and then all of
a sudden they wake.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Up or whatever. Yeah, it does happen now, and then
there they're haling you to the morgan that turns out, hey,
I'm I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Goodness. That's in the modern world. But uh yeah, that's
you know, the expression saved by the bell. I just
thought that was a boxing thing, but no, it's a
I can't remember. What was the plague? Uh in like
the seventeen hundreds. Gosh, what was that disease that uh,
you would be so sick that it seemed like you
(10:10):
were dead. It was hard to detect any pulse or breathing.
But sometimes people would not be dead, and so they
installed a system where there was a string from like
on top of your grave down into the grave into
your coffin. What I never hear. You could pull on
the string and ring the bell. That's the hey do
(10:30):
do me a solid and dig me up bell.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, that's what's saved by the bell means. That's what
I'm told nobody.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You're totally right.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You're absolutely right, because I I remember looking this up.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Nobody knows that when they say saved by the bell.
But uh, you're pretty far along in the process. If
you're in the cats get in the ground. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're really down to the end here.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You know. Honestly, I think most of that was to
reassure people they would see those bells and think, if
they get me wrong, I'll have a bell, and you'd
be slightly less freaked out about being ill.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Again, the reasons, as we discussed him during the show,
reasons to be glad you live in the twenty first century.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So the bell's ringing and say, hey, Jaez, oh my god, Jim,
grab a shovel. We gotta he started digging you down.
And then you say, I am really sorry about that.
Our bad, my bad. I take full responsibility.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Look, you died, well you didn't die, but we thought
you died. It was already five o'clock. I was I
was about to punch out, So was I a little hasty?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Maybe maybe you could have said something. I mean, I'm
not making it on.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You, but right, well in the seventeen hundreds, a brain
scan was hey, right, And if you didn't respond to that,
he's dead. Put the string in his hand just in case,
ight around his finger. That's interesting. Yeah, grim's fair. Huh. Anyway,
this guy, uh, he says, I'm a mortician. I love
(12:06):
my job. I live in the middle ground, handling the
bodies of the dead with enough grace to touch the
souls of the living.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's some nice, nice writing. I think I'll keep doing this.
But it's honorable work, and God bless you if you
do it with sensitivity.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I guess one of the reasons I think it's a
calling or a vocation as opposed to just you know
he ended up in this job is there was a
kid I knew in high school that wanted to do that.
His whole plan was to go to Uh. Of course
he might be imprisoned now with fifty deaths.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Maybe I should have looked into that. Maybe that's the reason.
But he just that was his he wanted to do that.
It was his family business, and he wanted to stay
in the family business. And so maybe you have a
calling for that, like you know, like I've got a
friend who does hospice work, and that's not for everybody.
That's what he always says. This is not for everybody,
all right, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
What my mom DIDs chaplain, right, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Sort of a calling. So maybe that's it. Yeah, and
then if you're okay, go ahead and ring the bell.
I'll be right in.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, we'll take more than an hour or so, you know,
as long as you know, as long as somebody hears it.
But don't worry about so I'll bet somebody to hear it,
probably unless it's at night, but just if it is,
just keep ringing it. If you ring the bell, I
don't know, once every fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
If you ring the bell five thirty pm, it's going
to be nine am earliest before we can get to everybo.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Hey, relaxed for a while. You've been sick. You need
the rest. Anyway, Well, that was something, well, I guess
that's it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The lighter side of being buried alive
There's no such thing as a recession in my business.
It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Before we get to that. Joe was out for a
little bit during the radio show today, and when he
came back, he was talking about having walk up music

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, okay, so there's one. But to get away from

The boss told me I had to do it, so
I just did it.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
And he talked about, uh, dressing one guy whose legs
kept recrossing. He would uncross them to put the socks on,
and then go around and crossed again, and then they'd
cross and he said, after relax that way, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Did he did he get to the body noises?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
We didn't. We didn't say about that.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Yeah. I think that's probably the more recently passed that.
There are various expulsions, and often they will result in
like groans. Oh no, that would freak me the fuck out. Sorry,
sorry for the bleeping.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
If I'm at the Morgan, they're in the and then
that shelf thing there, or like the sock drawer, you
push them in there. Yeah, and now I hear a
moan out of there. I think I gotta at least
do my due diligence and check.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And see if this person's alive.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I mean, jeez, that a dead groan?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Or is that an I'm still here grown?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Is that let me out here? What the hell am
I doing in a drawer drown Is this merely the
contraction of the human body passing wind past your vocal
cords making noise? Or is this person fine and wants out?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Well?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You see those stories of people that you know, they
go get to the funeral home and then all of
a sudden they wake.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Up or whatever. Yeah, it does happen now, and then
there they're haling you to the morgan that turns out, hey,
I'm I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Goodness. That's in the modern world. But uh yeah, that's
you know, the expression saved by the bell. I just
thought that was a boxing thing, but no, it's a
I can't remember. What was the plague? Uh in like
the seventeen hundreds. Gosh, what was that disease that uh,
you would be so sick that it seemed like you
(10:10):
were dead. It was hard to detect any pulse or breathing.
But sometimes people would not be dead, and so they
installed a system where there was a string from like
on top of your grave down into the grave into
your coffin. What I never hear. You could pull on
the string and ring the bell. That's the hey do
(10:30):
do me a solid and dig me up bell.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, that's what's saved by the bell means. That's what
I'm told nobody.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You're totally right.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
You're absolutely right, because I I remember looking this up.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Nobody knows that when they say saved by the bell.
But uh, you're pretty far along in the process. If
you're in the cats get in the ground. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're really down to the end here.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You know. Honestly, I think most of that was to
reassure people they would see those bells and think, if
they get me wrong, I'll have a bell, and you'd
be slightly less freaked out about being ill.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Again, the reasons, as we discussed him during the show,
reasons to be glad you live in the twenty first century.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
So the bell's ringing and say, hey, Jaez, oh my god, Jim,
grab a shovel. We gotta he started digging you down.
And then you say, I am really sorry about that.
Our bad, my bad. I take full responsibility.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Look, you died, well you didn't die, but we thought
you died. It was already five o'clock. I was I
was about to punch out, So was I a little hasty?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Maybe maybe you could have said something. I mean, I'm
not making it on.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You, but right, well in the seventeen hundreds, a brain
scan was hey, right, And if you didn't respond to that,
he's dead. Put the string in his hand just in case,
ight around his finger. That's interesting. Yeah, grim's fair. Huh. Anyway,
this guy, uh, he says, I'm a mortician. I love
(12:06):
my job. I live in the middle ground, handling the
bodies of the dead with enough grace to touch the
souls of the living.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
That's nice.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's some nice, nice writing. I think I'll keep doing this.
But it's honorable work, and God bless you if you
do it with sensitivity.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
I guess one of the reasons I think it's a
calling or a vocation as opposed to just you know
he ended up in this job is there was a
kid I knew in high school that wanted to do that.
His whole plan was to go to Uh. Of course
he might be imprisoned now with fifty deaths.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Maybe I should have looked into that. Maybe that's the reason.
But he just that was his he wanted to do that.
It was his family business, and he wanted to stay
in the family business. And so maybe you have a
calling for that, like you know, like I've got a
friend who does hospice work, and that's not for everybody.
That's what he always says. This is not for everybody,
all right, that's.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
What my mom DIDs chaplain, right, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Sort of a calling. So maybe that's it. Yeah, and
then if you're okay, go ahead and ring the bell.
I'll be right in.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah, we'll take more than an hour or so, you know,
as long as you know, as long as somebody hears it.
But don't worry about so I'll bet somebody to hear it,
probably unless it's at night, but just if it is,
just keep ringing it. If you ring the bell, I
don't know, once every fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
If you ring the bell five thirty pm, it's going
to be nine am earliest before we can get to everybo.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Hey, relaxed for a while. You've been sick. You need
the rest. Anyway, Well, that was something, well, I guess
that's it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
The lighter side of being buried alive
