00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>If you had the chance to be brought back to

2
00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>life hundreds of years in the future, would you take it?

3
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Wandery's newest podcast, frozen Head, hosted by Ash and Elena

4
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>of the hit show Morbid, tells the true story of

5
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence Pilgrim, a lifelong scientist who planned for death his

6
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>entire life because for him, death wasn't the end, it

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 1>was just the beginning. Lawrence's dream to be frozen and

8
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 1>brought back to life in the future pulls us into

9
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a cryonic soap opera filled with dead pets, grenades, family feuds,

10
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>hall of fame, baseball legends, and frozen heads, lots of

11
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>frozen heads. It's a story about the desire to avoid death,

12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 1>the lens people will go to make that a reality,

13
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 1>and what it means to be alive. To begin with,

14
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.359

18
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I wonder.

19
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>It's a fresh spring day in Montana, but inside a

20
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>modest white ranch house, the.

21
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Living room is filled with death.

22
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>There's a dead fox, a couple of dead coyotes, and

23
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>deerheads mounted on the wall.

24
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 3>This is the Pilgrim's home.

25
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Pilgrim as in Lawrence Pilgrim, the man.

26
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>Who tried to have his wife frozen and Alcore.

27
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>The very same, but this is his son, Kurt's house

28
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>on this day. Kurt's son, Lawrence's grandson, Benjamin, is at

29
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.439
<v Speaker 2>home when he hears something outside.

30
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 4>I remember the dog's barking when he pulled up. The

31
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 4>dogs always bark when anybody pulls into the place.

32
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, normally the mailman delivers to the mailbox by the road,

33
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 2>but today he's come all the way up to the

34
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>front door and he's holding a package.

35
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 4>Hey, dan't leave it at the door like what they

36
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 4>usually do. So I was like, yeah, well, I'm sure

37
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 4>it's just something. He needs to be signed for it.

38
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 3>So Benjamin opens the door.

39
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>I met him, and I signed for the box. As

40
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.240
<v Speaker 4>i'm signed for I'm looking at the box. It was

41
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 4>just a regular old cardboard box.

42
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>It's a rectangular shaped box about a foot long and

43
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 2>half as wide, a little bit bigger than a shoe box.

44
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 3>Benjamin is used to seeing boxes arrive at the house.

45
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 2>His dad Kurt sells tools, but something about this one

46
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>is different.

47
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 4>I'm thinking this is a pretty small box. It doesn't

48
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 4>sound like it's full of tools.

49
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Benjamin says thank you, and as the mailman walks back

50
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>to his truck, Benjamin takes a closer look at what's

51
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>in his hands.

52
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 4>I believe the markings were extremely fragile ashes or body

53
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 4>remains or something of that regard was on the side

54
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 4>of it.

55
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh, this is definitely not a box of tools. No,

56
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 3>it's not.

57
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:16.240
<v Speaker 2>His dad is out on a delivery, but Benjamin decides

58
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:17.039
<v Speaker 2>to give him a call.

59
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.960
<v Speaker 4>I was like, let me at least give him a

60
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 4>heads up because this sounds like something that he may

61
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 4>have to deal with.

62
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like a box of human remains is probably something

63
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>he'll have to deal with.

64
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 4>I was like, your dad was going to be frozen

65
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 4>upon his death? Is that correct?

66
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Fair question?

67
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 4>My dad said, yes, he was going to be frozen.

68
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 4>Why do you ask? I was like, I am holding

69
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 4>a box that I just signed for that is containing

70
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 4>someone's ashes.
