During the closing credits, a meeting between Possum Lodge members takes place. It is the third longest-running segment on The Red Green Show in terms of appearances, behind Handyman Corner and Adventures With Bill. Most meetings take place in the lodge basement and always begin with the sounds of the possum squeal as the members arrive. After the members arrive, they all stand up and cross their arms over their chests, and recite the lodge's motto: "Quando omni flunkus moritati", which is Latin for "When all else fails, play dead". Beginning in Season 9 (1999-2000), Red Green and the lodge members lower their heads for the Man's Prayer: "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess." The Man's Prayer first appeared in the Men Anonymous segment in Season 6 (1996-1997), and after the segment was dropped in Season 8 (1998-1999), the Man's Prayer was incorporated into the meeting itself. In Season 15 (2005-2006), the final season episode The Big Retreat shows women taking over the Lodge Meeting with a variation on the Man's Prayer: "I am woman, hear me roar, I'm in charge, get over it". In the Season 13 (2003-2004) episode The Drive-Thru, a sped-up version of the Man's Prayer is used. This segment debuted in Season 2 (1992-1993).
