If you had the chance to be brought back to
0:02
life hundreds of years in the future, would
0:04
you take it? Wondery newest
0:06
podcast, Frozen Head, hosted by
0:08
Ashen Delaina of the hit show morbid
0:10
till the true story of Lawrence Pilgrim,
0:13
a lifelong scientist who planned for
0:15
death his entire life. Because for
0:17
him, death wasn't the end. It
0:19
was just the beginning. Lawrence's
0:22
dream to be frozen and brought back to
0:24
life in the future pulls us into a
0:26
crayonic soap opera filled with dead
0:28
pets, grenades, family feuds,
0:30
hall of fame baseball legends, and frozen
0:32
heads. Lots of frozen heads. It's
0:35
a story about the desire to avoid death.
0:37
The lengths people will go to to make that a reality
0:39
and what it means to be alive to begin with.
0:42
I'm about to play a clip from Frozen Head.

1:03
It's a fresh spring day in Montana,
1:06
but inside a modest white ranch house,
1:08
The living room is filled with death.
1:12
There's a dead fox, a couple of dead
1:14
coyotes, and deer heads mounted
1:16
on the wall. This is
1:18
the Pilgrim's home. Pilgrim,
1:20
as in Lawrence Pilgrim.
1:23
The man who tried to have his wife frozen in Alcor,
1:25
the very same. But this
1:27
is his son, Kurt's house. On
1:30
this day, Kurt's son, Lawrence's
1:33
grandson,
1:33
Benjamin, is at home
1:35
when he hears something outside.
1:38
I remember the dogs barking. When he
1:40
pulled up, the dogs always park when anybody
1:42
pulls into the place. Now, normally,
1:45
the mailman delivers to the mailbox
1:47
by the road, but today, he's
1:49
come all the way up to the front
1:51
door, and he's holding a package.
1:54
Hey, damn. Leave it at the door, like what they usually
1:56
do. So I was like, yeah, well, sure So something
1:58
needs to be signed for it. So Benjamin
2:00
opens the door. I'm at him and
2:02
I signed for the box. As I'm signed
2:04
for him, looking at the box, It was
2:06
just a regular old cardboard box. It's
2:10
a rectangular shaped box, about
2:12
a foot long and half as wide.
2:14
A little bit bigger than a shoe box. Benjamin
2:17
is used to seeing boxes arrive at the
2:19
house. His dad, Kurt,
2:21
sells tools. But something
2:23
about this one is different. I'm
2:25
thinking this is a pretty small box. It doesn't
2:27
sound like a small tools. Benjamin
2:32
says thank you. And as
2:34
the mailman walks back to his truck,
2:36
Benjamin takes a closer look at
2:38
what in his hands. I
2:40
believe the markings were extremely
2:43
fragile ashes or
2:46
body remains or something
2:48
of that regard was on the side of
2:50
it. this is definitely not
2:52
a box of tools. No. It's
2:55
not. His dad is out on a delivery,
2:57
but Benjamin decides to give him a call.
3:01
I was like, let me at least get
3:03
him a heads up because this sounds
3:05
like something that he may have to deal with.
3:08
Yeah. Like a box of human remains
3:10
is probably something he'll have to deal
3:12
with. I was like, your
3:14
dad was going to be frozen upon
3:16
his death. Is that correct? Fair question.
3:19
My dad said, yes, he was going
3:22
to be Crows, why do you ask?
3:24
I was like, I am holding a box
3:26
that I just signed for that is containing
3:29
someone's ashes.
