About this episode
The episode explores the life of Terry Holo through the eyes of his brother and a reporter as they clean his house after his death.
In his obit picture, Terry Holo looked like The Dude from The Big Lebowski and, for a time, he kind of was that guy. But when reporter Izaak Opatz joined Terry’s brother, Bob, to clean up the house of his dead brother, he learned there was a lot more to Terry than he expected.
