from Bad Friends | The Tim Dillon Show #425 · #425
4 min
A riff on how Koreans mourn versus other cultures, joking about tent cities set up at the airport for grieving families, lawsuits, and dark humor about compensation and lawyers.
- Tim asks how Koreans mourn their dead and whether they have wakes like the Irish.
- He requests a demonstration of a Korean funeral dance.
- Bobby says Asians have emotions and tear ducts just like white people do.
- Tim's therapist says he obsesses over how people mourn.
- Korean families camped at the airport after a plane crash, staying there overnight.
- Koreans care about the remains more than white people do, according to Tim.
- First-class passengers don't want to walk through tents of crying people on their way to the plane.
- Families camping at the airport hoping to find remains like a toe from the crash.
- Tim watches footage of airline staff naming the deceased while bereaved relatives yelp in the background, repeatedly.
- Bereaved people in tents yelling at desk agents demanding free drinks on the next flight.
- All joking aside, this situation is genuinely awful for the families who have to sit in tents.
