EPISODE 42: The Greatest Fumbles in Sports & Life | Jessimae Peluso

Dying Laughing with Jessimae

Everybody drops the ball. This week, Jessimae tackles life's biggest fumbles, from money and missed opportunities to bad relationships, career choices, regret and the mistakes that may have actually changed our lives for the better. She looks back at some of her own questionable decisions, including the opportunities she let go, the relationships she stayed in too long and the moments when hindsight made everything look a lot clearer than it felt at the time.

Plus, listeners share the balls they wish they hadn't dropped, the people they chased instead of their dreams, the grudges they held too long and the choices that seemed like failures but ultimately led them somewhere better. Because sometimes a fumble is just a fumble, and sometimes dropping one ball is how you finally get your hands free to catch another.

EPISODE 40: Putting the FUN in Funeral | Dan the Funeral Man

Dying Laughing with Jessimae

Jessimae sits down with Dan the Funeral Man, a funeral director from Salem, Ohio who's putting some much-needed personality back into death. Think hot pink caskets, leopard-print urns, custom memorials and final send-offs that actually look like the person being remembered.

Dan takes us behind the curtain of the funeral industry to answer the questions everyone secretly wants to ask: What happens to our bodies after we die? What does embalming actually do? Why are funerals so expensive? What should grieving families spend money on, and what can they skip? And, of course, what are the wildest things he's witnessed at a funeral?

They also explore why funeral customs are changing, how families can create more personal celebrations of life, and what spending every day around death has taught Dan about grief, regret and being alive.

Because if you lived loud, why the hell should you be buried beige?

EPISODE.39: When Should You Say Goodbye to a Pet?

Dying Laughing with Jessimae

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is one of the hardest decisions we'll ever make—but how do you know when it's the right time?

In this episode, Jessimae explores the heartbreaking question every pet owner eventually faces: What makes a good quality of life, and when does holding on become holding them back? Inspired by a moving article written by a palliative care physician, she dives into the world of pet hospice, quality-of-life assessments, pain management, and why animals often hide their suffering until the very end.

Jessimae also shares the deeply personal story of saying goodbye to her soul dog, Carlin, and how she ultimately knew it was time. Along the way, she discusses the emotional weight of euthanasia, the surprising similarities between human and veterinary hospice care, and why sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go on a good day instead of waiting for the worst one.

Whether you're grieving a pet, caring for an aging companion, or simply want to be better prepared for one of life's most difficult moments, this episode offers compassion, practical guidance, and a reminder that loving our animals also means knowing when to say goodbye.

EPISODE 38: Can Jimothy Save Us All?

Dying Laughing with Jessimae

This week, Jessimae takes a break from the heavy stuff to embrace the wonderfully absurd.

From an unbelievable sugar daddy story involving a very alive wife and a dead mouse, to sharks at water parks, AI teachers, Frankie Valli's seemingly immortal touring schedule, and the latest internet grifts, this episode explores the strange corners of modern life with humor, curiosity, and just enough existential dread.

Somewhere along the way, one tiny raccoon named Jimothy emerges as humanity's best chance for survival.

Because if the world keeps getting weirder... we're going to need him.

EPISODE 37: Holy Shit. I'm Dying, Now What? | Douglas Cartwright

Dying Laughing with Jessimae

What happens when death stops being a distant concept and becomes part of your daily reality?

This week, Jessimae welcomes her longtime friend, former neighbor, author, life coach, and spiritual teacher Douglas Cartwright for one of the most honest conversations ever featured on Dying Laughing. Shortly after being diagnosed with terminal glioblastoma, Douglas shares how the news has transformed his relationship with identity, fear, faith, purpose, and what it truly means to be alive.

Together, they explore the difference between surviving and living, discuss why so many of us postpone the lives we really want, and reflect on answers from listeners who were asked one simple question: What would you do if you found out you were going to die?

This isn't a conversation about losing hope.

It's a conversation about finding it in the time we have left.

EPISODE 35: The Death of Who You Used to Be | Jessimae Peluso

Dying Laughing with Jessimae 

Sometimes the most important funeral you'll ever attend is your own.

In this honest, funny, and deeply personal solo episode, Jessimae explores the grief that comes with personal transformation. From saying goodbye to people-pleasing, perfectionism, over-apologizing, and the need for external validation, she reflects on the parts of herself that no longer serve her, and the unexpected joy of becoming someone new.

Along the way, she asks whether our greatest personality traits are sometimes just well-dressed trauma responses, shares the lessons she learned from symbolically attending her own funeral, and explains why healing isn't about becoming someone different, it's about uncovering who you've been all along.

Because sometimes the greatest loss isn't another person.

It's the version of yourself you're finally ready to thank... and let rest in peace.
