EPISODE 26: Why Humans Can’t Let Go of Reality Dying Laughing with Jessimae  We’re terrible at endings. We don’t accept them, we negotiate with them. We upgrade them. We keep poking them like, “Are you sure sure?” This episode is about humans refusing finality and the wildly different ways that impulse shows up in real life. From Tom Brady cloning his dog, to a woman writing her own obituary, to a dad scheduling flowers from beyond the grave, to biology reminding us it does not negotiate, and finally to what happens when refusing to let go crosses an actual line, it’s the same reality, the same discomfort, and very different coping skills. It’s funny, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s extremely human.
