Death f-ing sucks. There’s really no nicer way to put it.
After nearly two months away, I Mean This In The Nicest Way Possible returns for Season 3 with a new format, a video podcast, and a much more unfiltered RAM.
In the premiere, RAM reflects on death, grief, and the strange ways losing people changes how we perceive those who are still here. From an acid trip that unexpectedly turned existential to the book Crying in H Mart, the deaths of a childhood friend, Hayden Panettiere, and his own stepfather, this episode is less about finding the “right” thing to say about loss and more about sitting honestly with what it leaves behind.
RAM also reflects on the guilt of not calling his grandmother enough, why comforting someone who’s grieving can feel impossible, and the reminder death keeps giving him: hold your people close while you still can.
And after a season dedicated to building a legacy, Season 3 begins with the other side of that conversation: what remains when someone is gone?
I mean this in the nicest way possible… death f-ing sucks.
