YouTuber's Unique Tribute on New 'Rodiculous' Podcast

Rosanna Pansino, a popular YouTuber known for her Nerdy Nummies series, sparked controversy with the first episode of her new podcast, Rodiculous, where she fulfilled her late father's unusual dying wish by smoking marijuana grown from his ashes. Her father, affectionately referred to as 'Papa Pizza,' died five years ago from leukemia and had requested his remains be used to cultivate a cannabis plant.

The podcast episode, dedicated to her father, featured Pansino sharing emotional memories and the process of mixing her father's ashes with soil for the plant. The story has gained significant attention across various platforms, highlighting the unique and personal way she chose to remember her father. Pansino's actions have stirred a mix of reactions, reflecting on personal choices in honoring loved ones posthumously.
