Episode notes

This is kind of a bitter sweet conclusion to the era of encores. We're all just a bunch of legos, and what a shame to glue a lego sculpture in place. I as you go about your days, just remember that thing is permanent: not the sun, not the moon, not any one or anything that's ever lived. So the best we can do is just live a life of love and have an easy exit. If you get those, you're pretty lucky. Love you lots.

If you have a physical body, or know someone who does, this episode is for you! Hello, we’re all going to die. And we’re probably all going to lose someone we love. Thanatologist Cole Imperi has become a dear friend and on July 17, 2022 we pulled up a street corner in LA to chat about what she’s been up to and how to cope with the loss of a loved one. Hear about the blooming of friendship and the passing of your Grandpod, then after the break it’s a solo advice dump from me – your internet dad – with all of the handy tips that listeners and Cole gave me as I have been Going Through It. Everything is going to be okay. It might suck here and there, but the best we can do is love hard, live fully, and cherish the memories. Also: cut bangs, text your crush, eat a tiny ice cream cone.
