WEBVTT - Introducing: My Brother David

0:00:01.170 --> 0:00:04.110
<v Speaker 1>The first thing I hate about eulogies is they never

0:00:04.210 --> 0:00:07.250
<v Speaker 1>actually tell the truth. I'm Dave, and I've been an

0:00:07.410 --> 0:00:08.310
<v Speaker 1>asshole through my life.

0:00:09.730 --> 0:00:15.489
<v Speaker 2>Testing, testing. Okay, this is Sarah. This is my first

0:00:15.750 --> 0:00:21.829
<v Speaker 2>audio diary entry. In October 2021, my brother, David, was

0:00:21.890 --> 0:00:25.869
<v Speaker 2>diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A year later, he convinced me

0:00:25.910 --> 0:00:29.700
<v Speaker 2>to make a podcast with him. This podcast....

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so here we go. We got some stuff.

0:00:34.140 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 2>There was one problem. We didn't know how to make

0:00:37.220 --> 0:00:39.979
<v Speaker 2>a podcast. We have a Yeti microphone?

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.260
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, these are both Yetis, I think.

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.290
<v Speaker 2>Actually, there were two problems. We didn't know how to

0:00:45.310 --> 0:00:51.530
<v Speaker 2>make a podcast. And, well... If you had to describe

0:00:51.890 --> 0:00:55.850
<v Speaker 2>my relationship with my brother in one word or phrase,

0:00:56.350 --> 0:01:01.580
<v Speaker 2>what would it be? Harmonious. Very complicated.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Confrontational. Aggressively loud. Argumentative would be one of them.

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:10.900
<v Speaker 2>Lovingly argumentative. It may have been a bad idea, but

0:01:10.980 --> 0:01:14.980
<v Speaker 2>we just started recording. We discussed cancer.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.190
<v Speaker 3>I literally thought I was throwing up from my asshole hat.

0:01:18.850 --> 0:01:20.289
<v Speaker 2>We fought. I'm void of nuance.

0:01:20.310 --> 0:01:22.670
<v Speaker 1>When you say that, and I lack nuance, I don't understand.

0:01:23.150 --> 0:01:24.410
<v Speaker 3>That pisses me off.

0:01:24.770 --> 0:01:28.290
<v Speaker 2>And we talked openly. about the fact that David was

0:01:28.330 --> 0:01:29.030
<v Speaker 2>going to die.

0:01:29.430 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>My biggest fear, and one that has been consistently gnawing

0:01:33.620 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 3>at me, is that I am afraid of being forgotten.

0:01:37.300 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>This is the story of my brother and the last

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>chapter of his life. It's weird and messy and vulnerable

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 2>and human and embarrassing, and I'm going to share all

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.660
<v Speaker 2>of it with you. From iHeartMedia and Visible Grief Productions,

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:58.090
<v Speaker 2>I'm Sarah Iliatovich Goldman, and this is... is my brother, David.

0:01:58.630 --> 0:02:00.780
<v Speaker 3>This is one thing in life we don't get to

0:02:01.060 --> 0:02:03.020
<v Speaker 3>do again. We don't get to be born, or we

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.910
<v Speaker 3>don't get to die twice. So, let's do it fucking right.
