David and Tamler talk about the nature of death. Is being dead a bad thing? If so, what makes it bad? How can anything be bad for a subject that no longer exists? We didn't have a problem with oblivion for the thirteen billion years before we were born, why fear it now?

Plus, a discussion about the "it was all a dream" trope in TV and film. Why is it so infuriating in some works but not others?
