So I called Jordy.

Jordy, do you remember our first phone call?

And what were you thinking?

Jordy and I worked on his story together for weeks, and he told it live at our yearly Moth main stage in collaboration with Greenwood Cemetery in front of 800 people.

His story gives context for this episode, which is called Still Existing and Bucket Listing.

Here's Jordy Ponce live at the Moth.

That was Jordy Ponce.

Jordy is still working as a psychologist at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.

He loves to spend time with his friends and family, and he's still adding things to his bucket list.

To see photos of him pursuing that list, go to themoth.org.

Jordi, do you have any things left on your bucket list that are still scary to you?

Jordy Ponce is going to join me off and on.

He's listening to the stories too, so you'll be hearing more from him in this hour.

In just a moment, one man's giant leap and an animator tries his best to get to Pixar when the Moth Radio Hour continues.

This is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm Sarah Austin Janess, and this episode is all about bucket lists.

My mother used to tell me, put some lipstick on and get out there.

I don't wear lipstick, but I have always tried to get out there.

And our next storyteller got out there too, somewhat unwillingly.

Mike Sela told this on stage in San Francisco at a Moth Grand Slam.
