In this episode, we bring Mom and Dad in to lace up our skates and slide into a conversation about hockey husbands, water cremation, and the oddly specific logistics of post-mortem wishes. What happens when you want your ashes spread on a mountaintop, but your loved ones are not about that uphill life? Could a well-placed cannon blast get the job done? We explore the possibilities of airborne ash distribution.

Somewhere between discussing the science of aquamation and the dedication of hockey spouses, we manage to keep things light, weird, and just morbid enough. And, of course, we wrap up with another unanswerable question that will leave you pondering the afterlife long after the episode ends.

Tune in for laughs, existential dilemmas, and the occasional slapshot of dark humor!

This week on Does This Make My Ash Look Big?, we chat about the harrowing brain harvesting operation in Bucksport, Maine, and why did it stop at brains?

Then, things take a dramatic turn as we discuss the very real possibility of losing our hands in a hostage situation. How would we adapt? Would we get cool bionic hands or just learn to work with stumps? How many friends would we lose? So many questions, so few answers.

And, of course, we couldn’t get through an episode without complaining about the actual modern-day hostage situation—TV subscription services. There are too many, they’re too expensive, and somehow we still can’t find anything to watch.

It’s chaotic, a little unhinged, and exactly the kind of morbid fun you’ve come to expect.

In this episode we explore the green side of going out — from turning ashes into trees to getting shamrocked on St. Patrick's Day. Ever wondered if becoming a tree is the ultimate "going green"? Or if drunk leprechauns would even notice a tree growing from your urn? We dig into the logistics of life after cremation and St. Paddy's party shenanigans.

Grab a Guinness, brace for bad puns, and join us as we plant seeds of wisdom (or is it wisdom?) in this irreverent, unanswerable journey. Cheers to death, dirt, and debauchery! 🌳☘️💀

This week, we’re joined by Chelsea’s brother for a wild ride through post-mortem possibilities—because why just settle for cremation when you can be displayed in a glass coffin or frozen for future generations? We debate the pros and cons of being cryogenically frozen (is it science or just wishful thinking?) and the undeniable power move of having a statue erected in THE parklet.

We also get Justin's advice on touristy things to do in D.C., COME ON - would it be death planning without a little sightseeing?

Tune in for absurd ideas, unsolicited opinions, and the usual amount of nonsense. Would you rather be a frozen popsicle of your former self or immortalized in bronze? Let us know!

In this episode of Does This Make My Ash Look Big?, we’re joined by not one, but TWO special guests for a hilariously morbid deep dive into all things death and beyond. One of our guests owns a monument shop, so naturally, we grill them on the wildest headstone requests they’ve received and what it’s like to sell eternal real estate. Of course, we also chat about their post-mortem wishes—because if anyone has strong opinions about their final send-off, it’s someone in the business!

Also tune in for discussion on the ultimate funeral playlist—what song we'd want playing at our funerals Will it be something heartfelt and classic? Or will we leave our loved ones confused and slightly horrified. Spoiler: probably the latter.

And just when you think we've covered it all, we light things up—literally—with a discussion about cremation fireworks. Because what better way to go out with a bang than by having your ashes blasted into the sky in a fiery spectacle?

Tune in for a rock-solid (see what we did there?) episode filled with laughs, death talk, and a surprising amount of music debate!

In this episode of Does This Make My Ash Look Big?, we dive into the age-old debate: burial or cremation? We break down the options (without breaking the bank) and chat with special guests about their post-mortem wishes—because planning your final send-off is way more fun than it sounds.

Then, just when you thought things couldn’t get more uncomfortable, we take a detour into the most awkward years of our lives: preteen and teen disasters. From bad haircuts to questionable clothing choices, we relive the moments that still haunt us—because if we’re talking about death, we might as well talk about the slow death of our dignity in middle school.

Join us for an episode full of laughs, questionable choices, and the ultimate question: How do you want to go out?

In this episode, we explore cremation, organ donation, and the outdoor activities we all pretend to enjoy. We break down facts about organ donation, ask a burning question about cremation, and dive into all the so-called "fun" outdoor activities that are only tolerable when alcohol is involved.

As always, stick around until the end for our unanswerable question of the week!
