Hey, it's Christine from Storyworthy.

Today on the show, comedian Lori Kilmartin talks about her dad and her new book, Dead People

Suck, a guide for survivors of the newly departed.

So my mom sat down next to my sister and they're in front of my dad and they're both saying.

And I didn't know he was dying at this point.

Like I thought, you know, once we get this machine fixed, he can breathe again and be, he'll

be more relaxed.

But his body was shutting down.

This is like, this is it. We kind of got in this little routine,

and then we started telling our dad all the cool things that he did for us. Today on the show,

comedian Lori Kilmartin shares an intimate story about her dad's last days. This is a really great episode,

you guys. Stay close.

Hey, this is Lori Kilmartin, and you're listening to Storyworthy.

Welcome to Storyworthy.

My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm coming to you from Los Angeles, California.

I'm so glad you guys tune in today, whether you're a longtime fan of the show or a new listener, welcome to Storyworthy.

Now, I hope you guys enjoyed the story last week from writer-actor Bob Wilt Fong. You know Bob Wiltfong, Lori? I don't think I know him personally. He's a comedian. I'm aware of who he is, though. Yeah, he was a correspondent on the Daily Show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. One of the first correspondents who was like a real reporter at one point. Right, right. Sort of funny. Anyway, he tells a fabulous story about being a local news reporter in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and then in Wichita, Kansas, you know,

because these guys, they got to move. Sure, sure. To the market. And it's fascinating. Wow.

Anyway, you guys, go back and listen to that, but not today because today I'm

here with comedian and writer Lori Kilmartin, and she brings forth the topic, dead people suck.

And I'm so glad, Lori, to finally have you on the show, because I feel like I've been circling

your universe. I know. You said, nice to meet you. I'm like, wait a minute. We've met 15 times, right?
