The Wit and Wisdom of Li Morris
Episode 307
Saturday, 2 May, 2026
This week, we’re trading murder boards for morgue humor as we dive into the wit, wisdom, and perfectly timed sarcasm of Chief Medical Examiner Morris—because honestly, no one delivers a one-liner over a dead body quite like he does.From his very first joke (yes, the iconic “Abbey Normal” moment) to his ongoing commitment to mixing brains, banter, and just enough pop culture to confuse Eve, we’re celebrating everything that makes Morris one of the most underrated MVPs of the In Death series.We revisit some of his best moments across the books, including:His dry, deadpan humor (pun fully intended)His habit of turning autopsies into stand-up routines Eve didn’t ask forHis surprising depth—because behind the jokes is someone who feels every caseAnd of course, his ability to make Peabody blush, Eve roll her eyes, and all of us laughAlong the way, we also spiral (naturally) into:Whether Eve actually understands any pop culture referencesWhy Morris absolutely rehearses his jokes before Eve walks inThe ongoing debate: Is Eve clueless… or just messing with everyone?And while this episode leans into the funny, we also touch on the moments where Morris reminds us that his job isn’t just about science—it’s about humanity, loss, and the quiet weight of standing between the living and the dead.💬 Got a favorite Morris quote we missed? Tell us—we’re already considering a Part 2.Also: quick heads up—Podcast in Death will be shifting to a bi-weekly schedule starting in June as we approach the end of our current book run. Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of fun content planned to keep things going strong!
