Obsessed With Death

Rob sits down with Patrick from We the Grievers to talk about how losing his mom completely changed his relationship with death and ultimately led him to leave his career and start talking openly about grief online. They discuss complicated grief, the small things that can help someone after a loss, why people are so uncomfortable talking about death, and how sharing grief openly can make it feel a little less isolating.

Rob and Jordan react to the first teaser for Season 3 of The Pitt before diving into the wild story of a father who drove his family off a 250-foot cliff...survived, completed treatment, and was ultimately welcomed back by his wife.
They debate whether you could ever forgive a spouse after something so horrific, then reflect on the heartbreaking deaths of Sydney Towle and Hayden Panettiere and the strange experience of grieving someone you only knew through a screen.

Following his appearance as Mort from Bob’s Burgers, Andy Kindler sticks around to talk death. Andy opens up about his lifelong fear of dying, how his beliefs about God and the afterlife have changed with age, near-death experiences, OCD, and the strange comfort he’s found in thinking about mortality.
Plus, Rob makes one request: find a way to get Mort to say “I’m obsessed with death” on Bob’s Burgers.

This week, Rob is joined by Mort, funeral director and owner of It’s Your Funeral Home & Crematorium. Mort talks about life in the funeral business, finding humor in death, his thoughts on the paranormal, and the challenges of dating as a funeral director.
Plus, Rob pitches Mort a few new business ideas that could change the funeral industry forever.
