This week, the camera is turning back toward the OG main character for two stories Holly considered telling in Season One - but wasn’t ready to share.
Comedian Lisa Wallen and Holly have a lot in common: alcoholic dads, complicated childhoods, and an ability to make a joke at the worst possible time. But Lisa’s life changed forever when her fiancé, John, disappeared. She joins Holly to talk about what happened, becoming the target of internet strangers while she was grieving, and the surprising way tragedy reshaped her relationship with her dad.
This mission, if you choose to accept it, is unlike any EKBM mission we’ve had before…and it’s top secret.
You asked, we answered - this week is all listener stories, and you really came through with the wildest sibling revelations, secret family drama and EKBM level dysfunction that made us all collectively Home Improvement grunt. Holly and partner-in-crime Producer Pete read them aloud with licensed therapist, author, and creator of The Siblinghood Theory, Minaa B. Together, the three of us dig into the stories you’ve been sending us all year. Minaa is here to help us understand what might actually be happening underneath them all, and Pete and Holly are your proxies - just two little rascals and silly billies who cope through jokes.
Award-winning journalist, podcast host, and digital activist Bridget Todd has spent years examining how technology shapes our lives. Then in 2025, within an incredibly short period of time, Bridget’s mom died suddenly and she became a caregiver for her seriously ill dad. She was grieving, overwhelmed, and suddenly responsible for navigating an endless list of medical, insurance, and caregiving decisions. And that’s when an AI critic turned to AI. Bridget’s experience inspired her new audiobook, Love at First Prompt: AI and the Future of Intimacy , which investigates something that sounds like science fiction but is very much already here: people turning to AI for romance, friendship, therapy, companionship and emotional support. And she joins Holly to talk about losing the people you love, wondering who would actually show up for you in a crisis, and finding yourself reaching for comfort somewhere you NEVER thought you would.
