4.6 The Death Episode

from Top Five · host Chris Paek and Liz Lin

Could it be? Good news in 2025? We're thrilled about Zohran Mamdani's win in the New York City Democractic mayoral primary, and we talk about the exciting and disheartening parts of this outcome, the data, and the ranked choice of it all. Then we get into a topic we've been thinking but not talking more about in our middle age: Death. We dig into the big questions - how we feel about it these days, if we're afraid of it, what we think happens next - and also alllllll the logistical questions that come with it: Have you done any estate planning? What do you want to happen with your body? Who would you want to speak at your funeral? Finally, we take a hard pivot into an evergreen topic: Most embarrassing Asians. There are embarrassing people everywhere and Asians are no exception, and these are the folks who make us cringe the hardest. This episode has a little bit of everything, and we're glad we get to talk about the most serious and most silly things with each other and with you!facebook.com/topfivepodInstagram: @topfivepodArt by Colin Turnbull (colinpturnbull.com)Music by Origami PigeonThe opinions shared here do not necessarily reflect those of our employers!
