When We Die Talks
When We Die Talks begins with a single question asked to an anonymous caller: What do you think happens when we die? From there, the conversation unfolds in unexpected directions. Touching on belief, doubt, loss, and the search for meaning.
These aren’t experts or public figures. They are everyday people opening up about the things most of us keep quiet. The result is raw, unpredictable, and deeply human.

When We Die Talks
#26 - You Never See An OK Vampire—They’re All Sexy
This week’s anonymous call takes us in a direction I didn’t quite expect. My guest starts by admitting she isn’t sure she’ll ever die. Maybe she’s immortal. Maybe she’s destined to become a vampire. From there, the conversation winds through questions of heaven, purgatory, and what it might mean if there really were no end.
It’s a mix of humor and honesty: she jokes about sexy vampires, “jammy jams,” and how every day feels like a slumber party. But, she also reflects on loneliness, the heartbreak of living forever, and what it means to “walk people home.” Along the way, she shares her thoughts on independence, the importance of focusing on life’s quality as much as its quantity, and how she’s learned to laugh at embarrassment.
It’s a strange conversation in the best ways. Funny, offbeat, and surprisingly wise.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Book recommendation: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
- Movie references: The Man from Earth and The Age of Adaline
- “Walking each other home” and the wisdom of Ram Dass
- Thoughts on heaven, hell, and purgatory
- Ghosts, signs, and the possibility of living forever
- Embracing independence and finding joy in solitude
- Letting go of embarrassment and owning our inner dork
- Mexican Day of the Dead traditions and marigolds
- Remembering loved ones with some popcorn and champagne
