Speaker 1: Wandery's newest podcast, frozen Head, hosted by Ash and Elena
Speaker 1: of the hit show Morbid, tells the true story of

Speaker 1: was just the beginning. Lawrence's dream to be frozen and
Speaker 1: brought back to life in the future pulls us into
Speaker 1: a cryonic soap opera filled with dead pets, grenades, family feuds,
Speaker 1: hall of fame, baseball legends, and frozen heads, lots of
Speaker 1: frozen heads. It's a story about the desire to avoid death,

Speaker 1: I wonder.
Speaker 2: It's a fresh spring day in Montana, but inside a
Speaker 2: modest white ranch house, the.
Speaker 3: Living room is filled with death.
Speaker 2: There's a dead fox, a couple of dead coyotes, and
Speaker 2: deerheads mounted on the wall.
Speaker 3: This is the Pilgrim's home.
Speaker 2: Pilgrim as in Lawrence Pilgrim, the man.
Speaker 3: Who tried to have his wife frozen and Alcore.
Speaker 2: The very same, but this is his son, Kurt's house
Speaker 2: on this day. Kurt's son, Lawrence's grandson, Benjamin, is at
Speaker 2: home when he hears something outside.
Speaker 4: I remember the dog's barking when he pulled up. The
Speaker 4: dogs always bark when anybody pulls into the place.
Speaker 2: Now, normally the mailman delivers to the mailbox by the road,
Speaker 2: but today he's come all the way up to the
Speaker 2: front door and he's holding a package.
Speaker 4: Hey, dan't leave it at the door like what they
Speaker 4: usually do. So I was like, yeah, well, I'm sure
Speaker 4: it's just something. He needs to be signed for it.
Speaker 3: So Benjamin opens the door.
Speaker 4: I met him, and I signed for the box. As
Speaker 4: i'm signed for I'm looking at the box. It was
Speaker 4: just a regular old cardboard box.
Speaker 2: It's a rectangular shaped box about a foot long and
Speaker 2: half as wide, a little bit bigger than a shoe box.
Speaker 3: Benjamin is used to seeing boxes arrive at the house.
Speaker 2: His dad Kurt sells tools, but something about this one
Speaker 2: is different.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking this is a pretty small box. It doesn't
Speaker 4: sound like it's full of tools.
Speaker 2: Benjamin says thank you, and as the mailman walks back
Speaker 2: to his truck, Benjamin takes a closer look at what's
Speaker 2: in his hands.
Speaker 4: I believe the markings were extremely fragile ashes or body
Speaker 4: remains or something of that regard was on the side
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is definitely not a box of tools. No,
Speaker 3: it's not.
Speaker 2: His dad is out on a delivery, but Benjamin decides
Speaker 2: to give him a call.
Speaker 4: I was like, let me at least give him a
Speaker 4: heads up because this sounds like something that he may
Speaker 4: have to deal with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like a box of human remains is probably something
Speaker 2: he'll have to deal with.
Speaker 4: I was like, your dad was going to be frozen
Speaker 4: upon his death? Is that correct?
Speaker 3: Fair question?
Speaker 4: My dad said, yes, he was going to be frozen.
Speaker 4: Why do you ask? I was like, I am holding
Speaker 4: a box that I just signed for that is containing
Speaker 4: someone's ashes.
