  • Ashes, Science, and Seasonal Sadness

    Ashes, Science, and Seasonal Sadness
    Nov 6 2025
    In the season two finale of Does This Make My Ash Look Big?, Bailey and Chelsea dive into the science behind cremation; what actually happens when we’re turned to ash and why the process is both fascinating and oddly comforting. Special guests Nicko and Hannah join the conversation to share their unique post-mortem wishes, bringing their own mix of humor and heart to the topic. They also join for a fun game of Frame it or Flame it. The episode also drifts into a cozy (and slightly melancholy) chat about winter, how it’s equal parts beautiful and brutal, and the emotional whiplash that daylight savings brings. Wrapping up season two with laughter, reflection, and a touch of seasonal gloom, we promise to return refreshed and full of new ashes-to-ashes antics when season three premieres in January.

  • Taxider-Me Maybe

    Taxider-Me Maybe
    Oct 31 2025
    In this episode of Does This Make My Ash Look Big?, Bailey and Chelsea dive into the delightfully dark and oddly relatable. The two uncover why human taxidermy is off-limits (no matter how artistic your vision), brainstorm how to turn cremains into beer bottles, and invent a signature “Chelsea Brew.” They also explore the very real 18th-century fear of being buried alive — and debate whether that’s still a valid fear today. Of course, they play a round of Frame It or Flame It, where nothing is sacred, and end with Bailey wishing she were on a police hiring committee, talking new outfits for upcoming events, and confessing Bailey's latest obsession: hockey. It’s a perfect blend of history, humor, and a little post-mortem panic.

    Running on Ash and Sass (feat. Morgan)
    Oct 16 2025
    This week, Bailey’s not riding solo, Morgan jumps in as guest co-host while Chelsea takes a well earned vacation! Things get steamy as the duo talks about sending ashes on one last wild ride; straight through a steam train’s firebox and out the smokestack. Then it’s time for another fiery round of Flame It or Frame It, followed by Bailey manifesting her dream husband (because if you can launch ashes out of a train, you can manifest anything). Buckle up for laughs, chaos, and a little cosmic energy on this week’s ride.

    Oct 9 2025
    In this week’s episode, we get arty with ashes; diving into the world of cremation art, from glass blown memorials to paintings that literally contain your loved one. Then we play a fiery round of “Frame It or Flame It,” deciding which creative ash ideas deserve a spot on the wall and which should go straight to the burn pile. Finally, we cozy up for some basic bitch fall talk; pumpkin spice, apple picking, and the annual return of cuffing season. Grab your flannel and a PSL, because this episode is equal parts sentimental and spicy.

  • Stars, Ash, and Dating Trash

    Stars, Ash, and Dating Trash
    Oct 2 2025
    In this episode, we kick things off with a fiery discussion, literally, about celebrity cremation wishes. From the outrageous to the oddly sentimental, we break down some of the most unexpected last requests from the stars. Then, things take a romantic (and slightly chaotic) turn as we dive into Bailey’s Dating Roulette. From crafting her dating profile to decoding a few recent male encounters, nothing is off-limits. Chelsea shares her sharp insights and unfiltered takes, offering a different perspective on modern dating dynamics. It’s equal parts bizarre, hilarious, and brutally honest.

    Ashes Not Included
    Sep 25 2025
    In this episode, we kick things off with a dive into the bizarre and unsettling world of cremation crimes; yep, it's a thing. From shady funeral homes to stolen teeth, we unpack some of the strangest true stories from the ashes. Then we pivot to a more personal note: where would we donate money after we’re gone? A thoughtful (and occasionally funny) discussion on legacy, values, and giving. Finally, we wrap it up with our firsthand experience at the Commanders vs. Giants season opener, live from the field, with all the chaos, fandom, and hot takes you'd expect from your unhinged hosts.

    Ashholes In The Wild
    Jul 31 2025
    In this week’s chaotic-but-charming adventure, your unhinged hosts, Bailey and Chelsea, leave the studio and hit the coast! We head to Islesford to interview the delightful Richard about sea burials, maritime traditions, and the history behind sending ashes AND bodies out to sea. Along the way, we get into the nitty-gritty of what makes a town a town and a village a village (spoiler: it's not just vibes), and offer our unsolicited opinions on tourist must-dos around Mount Desert Island. It’s salty, it’s informative, it’s a little windblown—but we’re out here being ashholes in the wild.
