Phoebe wants to know, how do the chemicals postpone decomposition? How do they do that? So it's its chemistry, basically. When you die, like, your skin and all its stuff, like dehydrates. And so, um, when the chemic and so after, ie wat you're doing a balming, your blood is drained out,. It goes down the train, ok, into the sewer, just like your pea in your poop does (says Phoebe)
Hoooo boy. We're all up in death and dying's bizness and to Alie's shock, it's not a bummer. Confront and perhaps OVERCOME existential anxiety as we discuss not only the science of death but the nature and goddamn beauty of life. Everything from burial methods, the latest in eco funerals, what a funeral director hates most, how gnomes die, and how to regret less. Meet your new favorite thanatologist and oddly, get the guts to be the you you want to be.
