Okay, so, fair warning--we don't get around to actually talking about death until 20-30 minutes in. And, even after we start, we go off on a myriad of tangents. For our season two opener, we talk about our goals for season two, Doug's recent experience with his dad almost dying, the connection between eroticism and death, sleep apnea, predictive statistics, The Parent Trap, imposter syndrome, suicide as an existential question, managing the logistics of loved ones' pending deaths, our changing relationship with our parents, Albert Camus' The Stranger, and Vanessa's new experiences as a parent.
[TRIGGER WARNINGS: acephobia, suicide, depression, bullying, ableism, ageism, single parenting, and dealing with the deaths of loved ones (especially parents)]
