In season 1, we explore Holly's massive family secret. When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer. It looked like life couldn’t get more traumatic, until her dad dropped a bombshell….or two bombshells, really: twin brothers that her entire family kept secret. She was the only one who didn’t know they existed. After his death left her with more questions than answers, Holly sets ou... more

  • Sadly, Not That Good Or Funny

    Unfortunately, I think I’m gonna unsubscribe after this episode (October 7th, 2026) … It’s not as funny as I thought it was gonna be. And I DID give it a “honest try”, as they say. I really did! I listened to ALL of S1 & now I’m on S2 & unfortunately, it’s not getting any better—for me at least. S1 was good (hence, the 3 stars I’m giving it), but to me, it was more sad than funny. I felt SO bad for Holly (the host) & her siblings. I felt more like crying than laughing. Don’t get me wrong; I DID ... more

    This Gen Xer is really enjoying thiillemoal’s story telling, vulnerability and reflections!

My family has got some deep dark uglies and I was feeling a lot of of this as I’ve listened to each and every episode - thank you, thank you, thank you please keep going. You’re fabulous!

  • Listen, Laugh, Cry, and Feel Less Alone

    I came for the nostalgia and stayed for the stories. Listening to Holly share her story in season 1, and her guests share their stories in season 2, has been such a joy to have in my life while I navigate my own journey of complicated grief. The sitcom nostalgia is so comforting as is hearing relatable stories of family dysfunction, loss, and all that comes with it. 10/10!

  • Over promoted

    Why is this show getting so much promotion? It’s been at the top of my Apple app for weeks. It seems navel gazing and try hard. There are huge cases being covered right now… maybe feature one of those?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The One With Lisa Wallen's Trial By Internet Trolls
Q: Where are you at with that now?
Wallen says she still feels compelled to defend herself because of the accusations and narratives people created about her. The experience also affected how she approaches relationships and creative work.
The One With Lisa Wallen's Trial By Internet Trolls
Q: What happened when your fiancé went missing?
Wallen says John had recently disclosed suicidal thoughts and was hospitalized. After his car was found near Deception Pass, he could not be located. She organized searches and says online strangers accused her of harming him while she was grieving.
The One Where Licensed Therapist Minaa B. Listens To Your Stories
Q: What patterns in sibling dynamics tend to persist into adulthood?
Siblings often carry roles they were assigned in childhood—such as the caretaker, the golden child, or the rebel—into adult relationships, which affects how they manage conflict, boundaries, and expectations. The persistence is moderated by temperament, parenting style, attachment, and whether the family members pursue healing and honest communication.
The One Where Bridget Todd Befriends A Chatbot
Q: How did Bridget's experience as a caregiver influence her view of AI as a source of support?
Her caregiving journey showed that AI can provide practical help and emotional engagement in ways that feel real to users, challenging the idea that artificial interactions are inherently less meaningful than human ones.
The One With Evan Ayers' Celebrity Intervention
Q: What was the moment you realized you needed help and that your life was spiraling?
The turning point came after a long period of using and hiding the extent of the problem; a dramatic intervention with Jeff VanVonderen forced a confrontation, after which his hand was forced to seek rehab and begin sobriety.
