<v Speaker 1>Jar you, Katy and Josh six one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>What is more fun than great Grandpapy's ashes?

<v Speaker 1>I like the way you're spinning. It is gonna be fun, right,

<v Speaker 1>all right? Who's whose great grandpa is it? So I

<v Speaker 1>was going out to dinner with my buddy. We haven't

<v Speaker 1>talked to each other in a minute, and his name

<v Speaker 1>is Zach and I was hanging out with him and

<v Speaker 1>he brought something up. His grandmother unfortunately passed away a

<v Speaker 1>couple months ago now, but he was telling me, he goes,

<v Speaker 1>I had something so weird happened to me. So they

<v Speaker 1>were going through the list of things that she was

<v Speaker 1>willing down to family members, like as you would when

<v Speaker 1>you're you know, grandparent parent passed. Yeah, And so it

<v Speaker 1>got to him and he was like, I didn't think

<v Speaker 1>I was gonna get anything, but she had willed him something.

<v Speaker 1>And he was like, okay, money clock, I don't know

<v Speaker 1>grandfather clock whatever. No, she willed him down the urn

<v Speaker 1>of her father's ashes, so his great grandfather's ashes, Grandpa Downdhead,

<v Speaker 1>and she still had him and apparently it meant a

<v Speaker 1>lot to her. Obviously was her you know, I understand

<v Speaker 1>why it would mean a lot to her, but she's

<v Speaker 1>passing that down to the next generation. And he looked

<v Speaker 1>at me for like a solid five seconds and said nothing.

<v Speaker 3>He just goes, I got the ashes.

<v Speaker 1>And I did not know if I was like supposed

<v Speaker 1>to kind of chuckle at this or whatever, because like

<v Speaker 1>death is a very uncomfortable thing to bring up. And

<v Speaker 1>so I'm like, is that like where he all close?

<v Speaker 1>He goes, I've never met him, so he passed away

<v Speaker 1>before he ever even got the chance to meet him.

<v Speaker 1>And he's like, I don't really want these, Like it's

<v Speaker 1>nothing against my family or my grandmother has no relationship.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's nothing going on.

<v Speaker 4>So and who gets the clock, because exactly right.

<v Speaker 3>It's a way better deal. I want the grandfather.

<v Speaker 5>Or is it more special to know that you know,

<v Speaker 5>this was incredibly special to the grandma and now you

<v Speaker 5>have it.

<v Speaker 2>You know, you have the urn of her father.

<v Speaker 1>I know.

<v Speaker 2>But then there's something there that's magical.

<v Speaker 4>Like family history, family history.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's something there. I mean, it's kind of special.

<v Speaker 1>Obviously it's sentimental value. I understand that. But for him,

<v Speaker 1>he's like, Okay, well hold on, this poses a question,

<v Speaker 1>he asked me. He goes, Dude, how long am I

<v Speaker 1>supposed to keep these?

<v Speaker 2>Do I now?

<v Speaker 1>Will them down to my future children? Or what do

<v Speaker 1>I do here? And I wanted to pose that to

<v Speaker 1>you guys. I'm like, I have no idea.

<v Speaker 5>I don't know either, this is the protocol from this predicament,

<v Speaker 5>I know, I feel like, where does he put them?

<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

<v Speaker 4>I feel like Grandma should have taken them with her,

<v Speaker 4>right Yeah?

<v Speaker 5>Where was Grandpappy at the house? Just on a shelf?

<v Speaker 5>Like does he know where he was.

<v Speaker 3>In Grandma's house? Yeah?

<v Speaker 1>No, he didn't bring that up, but I'm assumed, like,

<v Speaker 1>what the man, where do you put them on a shelf?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

<v Speaker 2>He's not in a box somewhere.

<v Speaker 1>No, No, so he literally has great Grandpappy he said

<v Speaker 1>he put it in the guest room right now.

<v Speaker 3>So just out of looking at that no.

<v Speaker 5>Voice whatever his name was, it's an old time prospector name.

<v Speaker 2>That's probably his name.

<v Speaker 3>Rutherford, Rutherford Wilberg. I don't know.

<v Speaker 5>I will say phone lines are wide open if you

<v Speaker 5>guys want to sound off about this.

<v Speaker 2>It's Friday. We would love to talk to people.

<v Speaker 5>Three O three six nine one one mix three oh

<v Speaker 5>three six nine one sixteen forty nine what do you

<v Speaker 5>do in this situation when ashes have been essentially willed

<v Speaker 5>down to you? Do you hold on to him out

<v Speaker 5>of respect for the deceased? Or do you do you

<v Speaker 5>dump them?

<v Speaker 1>Can you spread them? I mean, would you go to

<v Speaker 1>Grandpappy's favorite spot?

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, but you don't know what that is.

<v Speaker 4>I don't even know.

<v Speaker 2>You don't even know what that would be. You're right,

<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

<v Speaker 4>I think Grandma slacked and just passed.

<v Speaker 1>Them on because I'm seriously, I think I don't want

<v Speaker 1>to do well by world.

<v Speaker 4>I'll just give him to old you know, old Zach.

<v Speaker 7>There.

<v Speaker 2>We got Mercury and Alex on the line right now,

<v Speaker 2>high Murky.

<v Speaker 8>Hi guys, good morning, Good.

<v Speaker 4>Morning to you.

<v Speaker 2>So what do you do with these ashes?

<v Speaker 8>I honestly, if it was me, is like, you know,

<v Speaker 8>out of respect for still being a family member, even

<v Speaker 8>if I didn't know him, I would put him on

<v Speaker 8>a floating shelf above my fireplace and let him just

<v Speaker 8>sit there until, you know, until I decided, you know,

<v Speaker 8>to move it.

<v Speaker 2>Really so you would display him? Yeah, just out of respect?

<v Speaker 4>Is that why?

<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

<v Speaker 8>It's definitely out of respect. It's like if it's it

<v Speaker 8>was one of my great grandfathers that I didn't know.

<v Speaker 8>You know, maybe I would, you know, take the time

<v Speaker 8>to actually just research about him, and you know I

<v Speaker 8>still have him in now.

<v Speaker 2>Get a little picture.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't just dump them, you know,

<v Speaker 8>down the toilet, Jeremy, that with respect.

<v Speaker 2>But I love the water though he.

<v Speaker 4>Wanted it that way. No, but you make a good point, because, yeah,

<v Speaker 4>what if the great grandpa comes back to haunt him because.

<v Speaker 2>He didn't make me. Don't make me, don't do it.

<v Speaker 4>I'm just saying, like, what is Mercury, You do something

<v Speaker 4>bad and then he takes that is I'm gonna come

<v Speaker 4>watch you.

<v Speaker 2>Thank you for butting the ashes on a shelf. Respect me.

<v Speaker 8>That'd just be honoring. That would be just me honoring

<v Speaker 8>the generation that came before me.

<v Speaker 7>You know, you can.

<v Speaker 2>Decorate the urn for various holidays.

<v Speaker 5>You can put a little bunny ears on it, and

<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you can wrap it intensil for Christmas.

<v Speaker 5>It's a good time and you are you're avoiding being haunted.

<v Speaker 5>So I will say that's probably a good idea.

<v Speaker 4>That's how your brain works.

<v Speaker 2>Mark Mercury, Thank you very much for your thoughts.

<v Speaker 4>Really Christmas lights around it.

<v Speaker 5>You know, if anyone wants to sound off three or

<v Speaker 5>three six nine one, sixteen forty nine, what do you

<v Speaker 5>do with the ding dang ashes?

<v Speaker 2>Here's Alex Hi, Alex.

<v Speaker 5>Hey, hey girl, were super dupes?

<v Speaker 6>Hey.

<v Speaker 7>I'm kind of with Katie on this one. I think

<v Speaker 7>Grandma just forgot about them, yeah and put them in yeah.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

<v Speaker 7>So what I would honestly do is like you can

<v Speaker 7>go to specific like cremation companies and they can you

<v Speaker 7>can pay to have them scattered in the rockies, so

<v Speaker 7>at least he's like still in the state, and you're

<v Speaker 7>still respecting that. That's still respecting that kind of aspect

<v Speaker 7>of it. But I mean, I've been in the grandma's

<v Speaker 7>shoes before with my grandparents, So I mean they're in

<v Speaker 7>the ocean.

<v Speaker 2>Now, Okay, so you was in the ocean.

<v Speaker 4>But again, I like that you spread their ashes, so

<v Speaker 4>it's not like you just like, you know, shove them aside.

<v Speaker 4>You still did what you thought was best with them.

<v Speaker 2>You sent them back to nature, Yeah, and.

<v Speaker 7>Took them back to nature. And like I said, like

<v Speaker 7>Grandma and Grandpa were in the closet for a very

<v Speaker 7>long time and we finally just decided because I worked

<v Speaker 7>for a cremation company, we just decided to you know.

<v Speaker 1>Like you were tapped in, like you, Yeah, I was

<v Speaker 1>very tapped in.

<v Speaker 7>You know what. I think they were just waiting in

<v Speaker 7>the closet for me to get this job.

<v Speaker 5>Guys, Alex, get us out of the closet and don't

<v Speaker 5>push in the oceans.

<v Speaker 7>Absolutely, we love you. But yeah, definitely I would scatter

<v Speaker 7>them and then maybe like go out to eat with

<v Speaker 7>your family or something to just kind of like celebrate

<v Speaker 7>them still and then also celebrate Grandma.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you dump them out and you're like, who's ready

<v Speaker 5>for biscuits at Texas road House?

<v Speaker 2>Exactly Grandpa would have wanted.

<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, Alex, thank you very much for your very thoughtful call.

<v Speaker 2>Let's do we do one more?

<v Speaker 5>Hi, Laura, Hi, Okay, all right, what do you do

<v Speaker 5>with the ashes?

<v Speaker 6>Okay, what I really think needs to happen is that

<v Speaker 6>the ashes need to be committed to a cemetery.

<v Speaker 2>Commit You can do that, but well, yeah, you can

<v Speaker 2>put them.

<v Speaker 5>You can buy, but that involves like buying a plot

<v Speaker 5>and a headstone and all that, right, Well.

<v Speaker 6>It might, but you could also find perhaps a deal.

<v Speaker 6>I think some cemeteries offer discounts.

<v Speaker 2>I've seen a lot of cemetery groupons.

<v Speaker 4>So you start, but if you already have the ashes, right,

<v Speaker 4>that's what you're saying. It's like one less step.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's it's the most dignified thing that you can

<v Speaker 6>do for a deceased person.

<v Speaker 4>I love that.

<v Speaker 2>But the cost, I know, But grand.

<v Speaker 3>Can you get half off because it's just the ashes.

<v Speaker 2>It's gonna ben.

<v Speaker 5>But maybe you know those value packs, the cupe on

<v Speaker 5>books that come into mail.

<v Speaker 3>Why are you trying to make this work?

<v Speaker 2>I'm not I'm just trying. I'm a problem solve.

<v Speaker 6>I think I think you should really consider committing your

<v Speaker 6>great grandfather to a cemetery and then you can come visit,

<v Speaker 6>whereas as if you scatter his ashes, you wouldn't be

<v Speaker 6>able to go visit him.

<v Speaker 4>Just the place.

<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, it's very kind of you. This is Josh's

<v Speaker 5>friends great grandfather. I have no idea where my great

<v Speaker 5>grands No, it's okay, it's all right. You got it

<v Speaker 5>mixed up. Did you lose We lost him a long

<v Speaker 5>time ago. We went and checked the Lost and Found

<v Speaker 5>at the gym like we have. We checked good Will,

<v Speaker 5>but we have no idea where.

<v Speaker 2>Grand Daddy's at Texas Roadhouse.

<v Speaker 3>Enjoyed the cinnamon butter.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Laura, thank you for the call. Thank you everybody.

<v Speaker 2>This just kind of fell apart, isn't it?

<v Speaker 5>Like my strange addiction? And eat the ass your friend.

<v Speaker 5>That okay too far,
