me, you know, crying, you know, I don't do that. I just sit and I just, and I will cry, but that's how I do it. And so no one can come to me and say, well, you didn't love that person. No, that's just how I grieve. I think that sometimes we don't give people permission to grieve in a way that's most appropriate for them without us having some judgmental thoughts about them.

And so I think when it comes to death, we need to have this conversation and people need to tell you, this is how I grieve. And so it ain't personal. I mean, it is personal. And so don't judge me because I don't grieve like you do.

You know, interesting enough, though, Stan, I mean, since you talked about your father, I'm going to tell a story about my mother's death. And again, I have always warned the listeners that I'm not being disrespectful. But my mother had relatives that, you know, she grew up with. And when...

when they came to the funeral, it's almost like, I don't know, I've read in Jewish culture, there are wailing women. Is that true? There are people that wail? I don't know. Some cultures, they wail. Yeah, those are in the, yeah, ultra-religious aspects. Okay, okay. Well, in my particular case, this relative almost pulled my mother's casket over you know, grabbing on it and wailing.

I'm like, oh, this is crazy. But unfortunately, you know, but what was so funny was that some people said, oh, she really loved her. I'm like, you know, so I'm saying all this stuff to just say that people do things differently and we need to talk about that.

And I agree with you that we need to have this conversation and say, look, and this is what I told, this is what I told, okay, I'm going to tell you, really tell you the story, because that's what this is about. I told my wife, my family, that when I die, I only want two people to speak at my funeral. And after that, they can go out and have a party. Make me a tree. That's it.

Because my life, my life would have been lived. You know what I'm saying? And if you, if you're not nice to me while I'm alive, don't come to my funeral. So that's how I feel about it. So I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't be putting this out on the internet, but that's how I feel about it. If you don't like me, leave me alone.

All right.

All right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's a great reason for us having this conversation is that, you know, death is certain. You know what I mean? And so I believe that sometimes people feel like life has been unfair to them if somebody dies when they're 27, 28, you know. But I think that that is part of life. the price we pay for life. We just don't know when. And so we have to be prepared for that.
