You didn’t think we were done, did you? Season 2 is coming in hot. And it will have even more family secrets, chaos, drama, big feelings, wild twists… but this time, it’s not just Holly’s story. She learned something from sharing her story with the world: that maybe it could help others to share theirs too. So, strap in. This season, we’re sharing stories from funny people who have been through the absolute worst.

Everybody has a party story. Host and creator of Personally: Discount Dave (and the Fix) Rebecca Auerbach’s involved in a run-in with rock icon David Lee Roth (you know, from Van Halen). At least, that's who he said he was. It’s Vancouver. 2005. Becca, a young actor who loves hard and parties harder gets her first big break at a Shakespeare Festival. She’s young, she’s having fun, party girls are FUNNNNN… Rehydrate, recuperate, recalibrate, repeat. But when her best friend goes on a date with the aging rocker, Becca is on a mission. To get a piece of the action. And maybe it's because she loves rock and roll, or maybe it's because she’s trying to fill a hole, but she holds onto that night. And it ultimately leads to her own reckoning. A harrowing and hilarious blend of memoir and auto-fiction, Discount Dave (and the Fix) is the true-ish story of a fake rockstar, a real trial and what it means to stop running, face yourself and fight to heal. Episode one of this series, "I Runneth with the Devil" is an Official Selection of the 2026 Tribeca Audio Festival.

Holly can’t be the only one who has processed their family secrets and trauma by creating art. So what can she learn from someone else who has been through this before? Holly chats with Simpsons writer and creator of Stan Against Evil, Dana Gould, to learn about navigating family reactions, blending horror and comedy, and what it feels like to put your life on such a public stage.

Holly wasn’t the only Brown sibling growing up in a chaotic and crazy childhood, so let’s learn a bit more about the other two - smarty pants older sister Casey and zany younger brother Carson. It seemed like they were both sailing through the toughest of times, but maybe that wasn’t quite the case. And then, the second shoe dropped.

It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for! What was going on inside Holly’s head this whole time? It’s not easy being a teenager in the best of times.

After leaving off on the darkest chapter of their mom’s addiction, we’re taking a brief detour. In this bonus episode, we go behind the scenes with Holly and her siblings. Because while this story holds a lot of pain, they also used humor to survive it. These cutting-room-floor moments show how this sibling dynamic can turn even the darkest moments into laughter.
