I Need Friends That Are Smart Enough To Kill Me (featuring Jenny Arimoto)
from Hairy Butthole · host Youngmi Mayer
This week I talked to the amazing comedian Jenny Arimoto about the death of her grandmother a decade after being diagnosed with dementia. Jenny talks about the cruelty of prolonging life in someone who no longer has the capacity to consent and talks about the infinite layers of emotions that surround death and illness. We talked about how death is perceived differently in Asian vs. American families and the problem with the idea that life events are either all good or all bad. Also I read the most deranged email I’ve ever received from an ex-boyfriend.
