    Death TV, Diva Demands, and Cremation Receipts
    Jan 29 2026
    This week we’re getting bold (and a little rude). We dive into some truly unhinged celebrity final wishes, then balance the chaos by honoring a few iconic women and their legendary post-death plans. We also swap recommendations for TV shows that revolve around death, dying, and cremation, because nothing pairs better with existential dread than binge-watching. After what feels like a lifelong scavenger hunt, we finally uncover the information we’ve been searching for from Downeast Direct Cremation, and yes, we have thoughts. We’re joined by a special guest to share her own post-mortem wishes, and we wrap things up with a round of Frame It or Flame It, judging afterlife aesthetics like the professionals we are not

    Sound disclaimer: We regret to inform you that the soundboard did not survive this recording. The audio is slightly off brand, slightly quieter, and 100% soundboard free. Please lower your expectations accordingly.


    This week, we explore the idea of turning cremated remains into frequent flyers, sealing ashes into tiny vials and sending them out into the world to be photographed, displayed in art exhibits, featured on Instagram, or immortalized in a very niche coffee table book. We also get existential (and a little delusional) about where we actually want to travel in our lifetimes versus where we realistically end up. And somehow, as always, the conversation lands at Applebee’s, because no matter how aspirational the topic, nothing grounds you quite like a neighborhood grill.


    Morbid, mildly artistic, and aggressively casual, Season 3 continues to deliver. 🍸✈️🖼️

    Death, Desserts, and the Narc Chronicles
    Jan 15 2026

    We’re back, and somehow starting the season exactly how you’d expect. This episode spirals from the surprisingly real concept of turning cremated remains into dessert (no, we’re not okay either) to Chelsea’s past as a fifth grade bus patrol narc who absolutely would have written you up. We also take a nostalgic detour into the D.A.R.E. program, what it taught us, what it didn’t, and why it felt more like a threat than prevention.


    It’s dark, it’s dumb, it’s deeply unserious… and it’s the perfect way to kick off Season 3 of Does This Make My Ash Look Big? 🍰🚓💀
