Associate Executive Producers, Bugles Across America
Sir Gary of Casco Point promotes "Bugles Across America," a non-profit organization that provides live "Taps" performances for veteran funerals. The hosts praise the organization for ensuring veterans receive a live tribute rather than a recording.
Sir Dom Nasty Knighthood, Midwifery and Funerals
Sean Lavalier Adam donated $1,000 to knight her husband, Dominique Adam, as "Sir Dom Nasty." The request included a complex series of jingles and a promotion for her business, "DIY Dying," which offers both midwifery and funeral services in Southern California. The hosts use this to remind producers about the constraints of reading long notes during the show.
Service Corporation International, Funeral Industry Earnings
Service Corporation International (SCI), a major funeral and cemetery provider, raised its 2021 earnings guidance due to higher-than-expected death volumes. The CEO attributed the growth to the Delta variant and "non-COVID excess deaths." The hosts suggest that financial reports from the death care industry are a more reliable metric of mortality trends than government data.
Service Corp International, Q3 Funeral Volume Surge
Service Corp International (SCI), a major funeral home operator, reported a 47% increase in earnings due to an unexpected surge in both COVID and non-COVID deaths. The report specifically noted an uptick in mortality among younger populations starting in August 2021.
