In today's episode the Beyond Binary Thinking crew sit down to address one of the greatest philosophical questions that has plagued humanity throughout the ages: For how long can someone intentionally derail a conversation about death?
Can long anecdotes that go nowhere really be the best way to obfuscate the one universal truth that binds us all together?
