  • Summary

  • Why does leaving a funeral home feel like walking out of a liquor store? What do dead bodies feel like? What do you do when you find yourself bawling at a roller rink on a blind date? What do you do when you have to scratch your dying father's balls because he's hallucinating and lost feeling in his hands? With a new guest every other week, Brice Klein (haver of dead parents) tries to demystify death just a little more. Ideally in a way that makes you laugh and not just feel super depressed.

    Casey: I dragged my mattress into a closet and slept there for a year
    Jan 12 2022

    Casey Wilson was 25 when her mom died suddenly in her sleep leaving Casey utterly shocked and meandering, trying to figure out what to do next. Fortunately, she crawled out of the pits of grief and has gone on to have a tremendous career as an actress, author, and podcast host. In this episode we talk with her about:

    • why being on SNL was awful for her grieving process,
    • having to retrieve her mom's jewelry from the casket,
    • why she had to re-record the lines to her eulogy,
    • and how Casey leveraged medication to get her out of her deepest pits of depression and grief.

    --

    Her memoir is The Wreckage of My Presence, her Real Housewives podcast is Bitch Sesh, and she stars in shows such as Black Monday and The Shrink Next Door.
