We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this

monumental reference of strange and obscure human knowledge.

These recordings represent our attempt to compile and preserve wonders and esoterica that would otherwise be lost.

So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions,

this is our legacy to you. This is our time capsule. This is the omnibus. Oh, You have accessed entry 549.1S 3113.

Certificate number 3768. Green Funerals. certificate number 37628.

Green Funerals. Although, really green funerals, anyone could have a green funeral.

Anytime you just go stand out in a park,

you have a green funeral.

It's green burials is really what we're talking about.

Do you think we've just, we're one sentence in and you already think we've misnamed the show?

Well, no I think green funeral. What does a green funeral mean? There's tofu and at the reception.

Yeah, green funeral. I mean all you have to do to have a green funeral is not

sitting below gas fumes into the air.

Now a green burial on the other hand is a whole different can of wax.

I would consider the burial to be a very important part of the funeral well sure if you're getting buried or the disposition of the body should we call this green

disposition of bodies we're giving a little glimpse behind the scenes of how sometimes it's difficult to name shows.

This show could have a lot of potential names,

but I feel like Green Funeral.

That's a nice, that sounds like a Kinks record

It doesn't it sounds like green pastures yeah for some reason putting green before it really highlights the fun part of funerals.
