In Rick and Morty S04E05 - "Rattlestar Ricklactica", Rick and Morty had this conversation:

Morty: I'm dying, Rick. [Groans] I can see the black mountain.
Rick: People who are really dying don't keep bringing it up.
Morty: Is that true?
Rick: I don't know. I'm just usually around people that die faster.
