Oct 31, 202302:22:28Tap to summarizeHow do you think you're going to die? I mean, it's going to happen.

What will your last thoughts be, or last words? Will you be afraid? At peace? Alone? Do you ever think about it? Or do you just distract yourself with the shiny empty nonsense around you because it's too overwhelming to consider?Well anyway we watched the Final Destination movies with Spencer Nickel from Master and Debaters and sat down to talk about it. Feel free to spend 2 of the precious few hours of life you have left to listen to it.
