As mixed as my feelings are about my service and much of a sham as I think the GWOT was, that really resonated with me when Tom quoted it- besides the comedic effect, of course. Most people in the military spend most of their enlistment doing their job, day in and day out, but as an infantryman, it's possible to have an entire, 20-year career without ever doing the thing you were trained to do. Thus when you finally close with and destroy the enemy, you really fall asleep the next time you're back safe inside the wire thinking "damn, today was a good day," or "damn, that was a good patrol" or whatever- unless your unit took casualties or KIA, of course.
@@AirWindFire I hear you, but would you rather your lived ones be sad and crying at your service or happy and jovial? I would rather people be happy. Of course it's always gonna be kinda sad, I just think it can be a little of both
@@AirWindFire I think most people would probably disagree with you. IMO the proper way to memorialize the dead is to commemorate the good times that were had with them and to articulate the value and the joy they brought to the world while they were living. There will always be time to grieve their death, but IMO that's the time to celebrate that they were alive in the first place.
@@L4-295 it was a good clip about how Joey calls people who lose loved ones and talks shit about who died. It was an example Joey gave in the analogy. It's what good friends do when tragedy strikes.
that’s what a memorial should be. My grandpa didn’t want a funeral just a celebration. It’s obviously going to be painful to never see that person again but it does no justice to stand there and cry about how much you miss them. Celebrate their life and what they did for you
I did something similar… but nearly caved as I glanced up to see my kids battling their emotions… at that point I focused on the wall told a funny story and maybe it through … R.I.P Ray Hutchison and to all the dads no longer with us..
*HEY BUDDY,* Damn I didn’t know your dad had passed. Sorry for your loss Tom, your dad always seemed like he was a great guy to have as a father seemed like he loved you a lot
I did my grandpa eulogy when I was 9 because no one else would (6 children 14 grandchildren none of them would do it but me). I’m proud of the fact I did. It’s now been 11 years. (Btw I’ve been to over a dozen funerals)
I didn’t speak at my moms memorial because I kinda felt like F everyone here, I don’t care about them. Fake friends, fake relatives, empty promises…. My sister and stepfather spoke though. Of course my close friends came to support me but I didn’t need to say anything to them because they all know me so well already.
Bro I felt that so hard. Like cracking a little joke to bring up a touchy topic definitely makes a difference. Got a video on my channel of my 8th grade grad speech. It’s decent y’all, for an 8th grader plz don’t be cynical🥺
I hear people say that they didn't see me show emotions when my mom died. I kept my shit through the death, funeral planning, flowers, getting her clothes and makeup, dinner, wake. At her actual funeral, I cried like a baby during the religious talking crap that had nothing to do with my mom. Then I couldn't talk. I wanted to keep my memories and be fckn selfish those hours of my life.
I did my Mother's at the catholic church she stayed devoted to in spite of the hypocrisy. The church knew me as her son and I took the opportunity to take organized religion to task about the promises they make by saying that if my Mother didn't make the cut at the pearly gates, then I didn't know not one single person who would lol. They were just happy I didn't swear on the altar. Not that I would, even though I really don't consider altars the sacred place others do, I do have respect. R.I.P Mom...🙏
I look at my friends as my real family, I don't want to see my mom, and haven't in years, and couldn't care less if my dad died, but can't imagine a life without my friends, but some times I wonder what it would be like to have a genuine blood connection. Not that it's that deep lmao but it's just something I've never felt haha I'm pretty apathetic towards most things, but I got a select few
My father left for milk. Still waiting for him to come back I'm thirty now. When he dies I will leave a carton of milk on the pew. Say he finally made it back. Now he needs some 😴
I miss my dad. He was like a father to me.
He’s not dead, I just don’t go to see him

@@L4-295 Tom: Were they're people inside?
Tod Dog: There was, there was. Little bits of them.
I didn't know Top Dog had passed. I'm so sorry for the YMH loss. He will be dearly missed!
Been 10.months airhead your fired bud
He was everyone's uncle 😭
Someone hasn’t been following proto
He was a lot of fun to the podcast. Miss you big guy!
@@Joe-oj4rh Too true. XD But it's a big loss for Tom and the pod.
Making people laugh is a really good way to start a speech. It breaks the ice and puts everyone in a good mood
It was a memorial dude, you’re not supposed to be in a good mood 😂

Did Joey Diaz call Tom to discuss what will they do about his father's inheritance?
I was just gonna say this. We gotta burn one of your siblings? 😭
Lmaoooo
I must’ve missed this episode

lol that’s sounds great, in theory.
Top dog saying " hey buddy " to God right now. Rest in peace.
I don't want people just to cry at my funeral. I want them to be happy & laughing as well.
Definitely, celebrate the life of the person.
I'm a selfish person so I want them all do cry their eyes out!! Lol
Humor is a tool we all use to deal with pain.
Sorry for your loss, Tom
Oh my gosh I didn't know this 😭 RIP Top Dog
Damn, man. What a blow. RIP Top Dog
Because a mother is always there for her kids 😅😂😂😂
I did something similar… but nearly caved as I glanced up to see my kids battling their emotions… at that point I focused on the wall told a funny story and maybe it through … R.I.P Ray Hutchison and to all the dads no longer with us..
My dad died when I was like 13 but I never had that deep of a connection with him I wonder what it would be like to lose somebody you care about
There's something beautiful in missing your parents when they are gone. Shame I never had any.
RIP top dog 🥺
Damn RIP imma miss you top dog
I really cant wait to see her in the new simple jack movie
Same here. Laugh to avoid the pain.
Just hold it in until it builds up and you snap on a random stranger. 😁
I am sorry about your dad he seemed great and you know he's proud of you and thinks you're an amazing dad and husband
RIP Top Dog ! The man, the myth, the Legend!
God bless charo
"What are we gettin in the will"
A list of the best toilets to take a dump at in airports. 👍
Powerful Bro 😎
Believe it or not, Your Dad was there laughing his head off😅😂🤣
Radiating the highest love 💗 because of You.
Bless You Brother 🙏🏼
RIP Top Dog
RIP Big Dog.

Rip top dawg
He pulled a Joey Diaz
I feel like my kid will be saying something similar at my funeral
Tom's mom also completely forgot he said that right after the service.
Celebration of life > memorial
One of my cousins openers at their grandfather's funeral "well this was written for someone else but fuck it it still applies"
I hear people say that they didn't see me show emotions when my mom died. I kept my shit through the death, funeral planning, flowers, getting her clothes and makeup, dinner, wake.

Mom took one for the team
Wow, I didn’t know Your Dad passed away Tom. I’m really sorry.
I did my Mother's at the catholic church she stayed devoted to in spite of the hypocrisy.

Just throwing it in Ethos.
A little fuckin levity huh?
I did the same thing at my grandfathers funeral. No way that guy wanted me crying. My Dad wouldn’t either.
I didn't know Tom's father passed.

The best part is that after all that, they were caught because the guy dropped his debit card with his name on it 😂
As mark Norman’s would say. Comedy!
.....and that's why she gets what ever she want these days.....
Wait I'm confused. His dad passed? Omg I had no clue. That's so sad.
My father left for milk. Still waiting for him to come back I'm thirty now. When he dies I will leave a carton of milk on the pew. Say he finally made it back. Now he needs some 😴
When did he pass?
When did toms dad die? He was a funny well hearted dude
It was like 6 months ago maybe longer
April or May I think
February ‘22, about 10 months ago.
Wait when did he die😭😭😭
Unfortunately I have to shit on my mother and my father. I really miss my dog though. A lot.
Only followers of Jesus will go to heaven. Turn to Jesus and be saved
Did his father die recently or something?
Yea
Rip Top Dog!
In the past year or so.
Like a year ago I think. RIP top dawg
I miss my dad....
...Is what I would have said if I ever had one.
Rip top dawg
