  Speaker 1: Hey, Stephanie, good morning. You're on the air. Say okay,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: let's get into your DM.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, so about the Okay, So this weekend I went
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Goodwill shopping to see if there's any good deals for
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the because they have that Amazon drop off where you
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: can get good deals there. So I saw and it
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: looked for a new It still had the tags on
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: it and everything, and it was an urn and it
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: was like twenty books. And I opened it slowly. I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: was like, please, please, please, don't let there actually be
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: somebody's ashes in here. And no, it was all wrapped.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Everything still had like instructions and everything. I don't know
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: if it really is instructions because I didn't read it,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: but anyways, Yeah, so it was like twenty books and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, score, I go. I'm going to buy
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it for myself, even though my son thought it was
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the most morbid thing I could do. Yeah, I was like,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I'm all about the good deals.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So if I'm not dying to get into it or anything,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: what if they were to use it on me, I'd
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: be like, I'm like moving it around the house now,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: putting it in positions like being able to make it
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: a normal thing. I was like, I'm getting used out
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of it before I actually have to use it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: You're just using it like or like somebody would use
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: a vase. Is that what you're doing exactly?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't put anything in it because I just
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: got it this weekend. But my son thought it was morbid,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and I'm thinking it's a great deal because now he
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to spend money on it. And I know
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: what I'm going to look like when I'm dead now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and I'm only putting it around the house to make
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: him feel normal, because this is where your mother's going
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to be sitting later on down the road. And then
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not really speaking to my mom right now. And
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: she did tell me a few years back. I was like,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we need to really get your affairs in order, and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: she's like, oh no, I was just gonna wait until
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I died. You guys would cover that, and I was like,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: oh really. So I sent her a picture of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: urn and I was like, hey, you said I'm paying
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: for your services. I go, well, welcome home. I found
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: an urn at Goodwill And she hasn't responded yet, so
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that was too much.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And then what about the Chattbete picture you sent me.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So I'm like telling all my friends. I'm like, you
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: have to make the normal, Like wouldn't you get excited
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: about like buying a car or buying suitcases. I'm like,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you're using it. So now I get to use this
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: urn before I actually have to use it. So then
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I was like, well, why don't I make a memorial
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: picture with myself holding the urn so then when that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: time comes, I can be a part of the urn.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And so I went on chat GPT and put both
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the pictures and me in, Oh, somebody by the name
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of Samantha, I don't know what.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's her holding her own urn. So you're going
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: to use that picture at your funeral. It's like, you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: it's like you're you're like manifesting the wrong way.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But I love it about it kind of.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I mean it literally. I think in the future it
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: could like lighten the moment for your family, Like it
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: could lighten a really dark moment because they'll look at
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: the urn and they'll last thinking about how funny you
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: were and your sense of humor throughout the whole thing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's a genius. She was all, go buy own.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, what I do us earned?
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: We got pictures? Can we post the pictures you sent me?
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Can we post on Instagram? Okay, so the babe can see.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: By the way, what's an earned cost? I have no idea.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: They're like, well, the lady that was there with me,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: she just happened to be there. And I'm like, oh
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: my gosh, they actually haven't earned I never thought I
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: would ever find one here, not that I was ever looking,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but you see them on the internet when people find
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: these things you do, and yeah, like people will like
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: post on the internet. Oh now look what this thrift
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: store has an urn or a jock strap and all
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: this stuff. Well she said she spent like three hundred
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: dollars on her mother's So I'm like, that's three hundred
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: dollars some saving my son.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I think that's so smart.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Does that means step on and somebody's auntie was in
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: that urn and they upgraded the urn and like, well,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: we don't need this one any more.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: We got things. I've kinda had the tag on itself.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Oh so nobody even know it does.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: So I'm thinking that somebody bought it through Amazon, which
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: really I checked on Amazon that earns only worth like
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: eighty bucks, but who knows. I might and you guys
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: do the Love Pup Foundation. You guys are animal lovers.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe I would use it for one of my pups
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: because I do keep my pups ashes.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah you're so positive.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah maybe then, but it's really for me, But you
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: never know. I hope it's sooner for my parents.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I hope you don't have to use it for a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: long long time.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: All right, Stephanie, have a great day. Thank you so
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: much for listening and thinking of us when you bought
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: an urn. Thank you. That's a good day.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Who knew we're gonna just be talking about earned stories? Miranda,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: good morning?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Hello, can you hear me?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I got you, Miranda, you have an earned story.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So when I was listening to that lady talk about
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: her twenty dollars goodwill Amazon earn, I kind of started
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: laughing because that's how much they are on animal like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of very cheap earned options on Amazon.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But the reason I know this is because so my
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: aunt passed away like five or six years ago, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: my aunt or my grandma came into town because she
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: lives out of state, to pick up her ashes and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: we had like her memorial service. Well then my grandma
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: divvied out like all of her ashes to a bunch
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of my family members, but it was a very small amount.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So somehow I ended up with the remaining bag of
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: her ashes. I had obviously planned to get her and
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: eurn and we were going to take her to Rocky
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Point to spread her ashes. Well, time, you know, got
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: in the way, and so I ended up putting her
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: ashes on the top shelf of my closet and I
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: kind of forgot about it. And so fast forward another
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: couple of years. I'm cleaning out my closet and I
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: look up and I see it, and I was like,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: oh my god. If she knew that she was sitting
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: on the top shelf of it in a brown paper bag,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: she would kill me. So I got on Amazon to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: appease her spirit. I googled some like weird random my tool,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and I performed it in my closet as it put
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: her into the urn because I was like, if I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: don't do this, she's going to come back and haunt me.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, she she actually still does live in Mike
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: because unlike the other lady that called in, I don't
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: find urns aesthetically pleasing. But I'm like, at least now
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: she lives in a beautiful and a beautiful urn.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: You know, you might have found a hole where you
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: could make like a zillion dollars for yourself if you
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: just design better looking urns.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: You know. And why does it have to be shaped
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like a vase? You could shape it as like a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: fake book.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: It's like you could collabo with There's stuff like that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: So she went from a brown paper bag to an urn.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But she's still in your closet.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: She is still in my closet. She is not hidden,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and she does not haunt me.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: She's not Nope, And when when do you plan on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: taking her to the ocean and up in her an ocean?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So my my parents they have always gone to Rocky
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Point and it's kind of been like a thing in
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: our family. So I think eventually, one day, like when
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: we all do like a big family trip, which doesn't
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: happen very often, then we will take her in and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: we'll do that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: But okay, well you said that grandma divvied up the ashes,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: so when you what if you have just her torso
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: and then everybody else has arms, legs and head like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I know, think about what parts of your of your
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: aunt do you have in your closet, like she says
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: she needs to feel complete.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I will say she did have
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: This is also kind of morbid. So she did have
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: some I don't know what I know. It's not gold,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: is it nickels or or what kind of metal do
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they use for like crowns silver, gold, silver, So she
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: did have some crowns and they did give us like
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the little nuggets of whatever was left out of her ashes.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And I think my grandma ended up with those.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: It's neat. That's wild to have like your your sister's teasers. Wow, man,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that's wild.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: All right, Well, Miranda, thank you for telling us that
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: wonderful story.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Oh you're so welcome.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I have a great day, Thanks for calling. Bye bye
