Hey Small Town Fam it's Yardley how are you guys. I have a question for you. If you had the chance to be brought back to life hundreds of years in the future. Would you take it?

Lawrence Pilgrim a lifelong scientist planned for his death his entire life because for him death wasn't the end. It was just the beginning.

Lawrence's dream to be frozen and brought back to life in the future pulls us into a cryonics soap opera filled with dead pets, grenades, family feuds, haul of famed baseball legends and frozen heads.

That's right lots and lots of frozen heads. It's a story about the desire to avoid death. The lengths people will go to make that reality and what it means to be alive to begin with.

Frozen Head, Wondry's new podcast hosted by Morbid's Ash and Elena tells the story of a man obsessed with immortality and the lengths he'll go to bring his wife with him against her wishes, tearing their family apart in the process.

I'm about to play you the trailer for Frozen Head and while you're listening I highly suggest you follow Frozen Head wherever you get your podcasts or you can binge all six episodes add free by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Ash, yes Elena. What's going to happen to you when you die? I am gonna have my ashes scattered somewhere be you to fall. Okay I love that for you.

Thanks. But what I actually meant was what happens to you after you die? Oh you mean the big question. Right. Like when you die are you gone or...

Oh like you mean am I gonna haunt you? Yeah because I am definitely gonna haunt you. Oh I know. I know. Well it's a question that Lawrence Pilgrim spent his life thinking about right up until April 10th 2015 when he dropped dead on the sidewalk.

He was around 90 so it's not a super huge shock. There was no foul play nothing unusual at the scene it was just a natural death. Minus the face plant on concrete and grass it's pretty much the best kind of death you could hope for 90 long successful years and then boom you're dead.

Except that's not how Lawrence saw it. For Lawrence death was not the end. This was just the beginning and the real shocks were still to come.

From Wondry the makers of over my dead body and the shrink next door comes a new series about a life long search for answers. He was just kind of like the mad scientist why do we get old and die and what can we do to reverse that?

For second chances. That was his goal to have his whole body preserved and sometime in the future brought back. He had asked her just get sort of out of the blue what do you think of cryonics?

And the lengths people go to get them and there are turtles grenades human antifreeze gold coins and frozen heads lots of frozen heads.

We can see that there's a body in there and immediately see that the body has no head.

They wanted me to take the patients out of liquid nitrogen and show them their heads and bodies.

How could you be so cold as to just want to use her as one of your science experiments?

I'm Ash and I'm Alina. We host a show called morbid. Normally we focus on what happens in the lead up to death.
