In this special episode of When We Die Talks, Zach sits down with his father, Chris Ancell, for a conversation that’s both personal and profound. They’ve shared countless discussions over tequila, but this one focuses on something much deeper—the inevitability of death and how each of them approaches it differently.

Chris reflects on the deaths that have shaped him, from family members to close friends, and how those experiences have evolved his understanding of mortality. His pragmatic outlook stands in stark contrast to Zach’s deeply personal fears, creating a conversation that’s raw, insightful, and—at times—unexpectedly humorous.

Together, they explore questions like:

  • What do you think happens when we die?
  • How does our understanding of death change over time?
  • Does consciousness persist beyond the body?
  • Would you want to know the exact date of your death?
