Bridget
The full video had been posted! I love hearing Bridget and her siblings talk to each other, they always have a loving dynamic and share a lot of stories. I felt like the interviewer really did not focus on Ed at all, even though this is a mortuary series, and basically wanted to interview Bridget about her life and Playboy. I got the impression that he may be a fan of hers lol.
Some interesting things that stood out to me:
• Bridget is older than Ed and was the one who got him into horror, witchy things, true crime and (I guess) influenced his later inclination to go towards funerary services.
•Bridget looks amazing!! If I were her, I’d be proud to point out that she is the older sibling because she definitely looks younger!
•Eddie lived with Bridget for a couple of semesters while attending mortuary college in San Francisco! At the time she lived with her then-husband in between Lodi and SF.
•Bridget used some of her allowance from Hef to help pay for Eddie’s mortuary college. Eddie jokes that “Hugh Hefner paid for my mortuary school!”
•Bridget and Eddie had/have plans to do a podcast together!

The timeline for Bridget living with her husband and paying for Eddie’s school sounds like it would be wrong but it makes sense. B started hanging out at the mansion in ‘99 and became a gf like a year later? She might’ve auditioned for PB after separating from her husband, who she married young and only stayed together with for a short time. Eddie joined the army after 9/11/2001 and although Bridget describes her time at the mansion as “when Eddie was in the army”, but we know she was there before he would’ve joined.
And mortuary school is 2-5 years for a degree.
So, it would be plausible that during his first year or two of school, he was staying with Bridget and her ex husband. But towards the end of his schooling (or maybe even while paying it off), Bridget was able to help fund him with the money she saved from Hef’s allowance.
Eddie also mentions it in the video but they come from a working class family. Bridget herself doesnt talk about it, but she was doing everything she could to help her family out. She married young to an older, established local businessman— probably seeking stability and a financial safety net. Then she sought multiple degrees and auditioned for roles to build a career after leaving that. And she made her way to creating her dream life with PB. All the while, helping her younger brother and sister at every step. Eddie lived with her outside Lodi, she helped pay for his college, and she let Anastasia live with her in LA even when she was a minor that had to be taken care of.
She really doesnt talk about the emotional sides of her life but there’s a lot there. The more she opens up, the more admiration I have for her
This is why I NEED her book to come out! No because of any T or new info of PB and Hef, but because she's so guarded (in a good way), that you know her life story must one of those interesting reads!
I feel this! I remember she said she drafted a bit of her book years ago. I wonder if she kept it surface level or took it deep
I think in part it's because one, she couldn't get Hef blessings and that was important to her and her life with him and PB, second, the treatment Holly's got after her first book came out, and although her stories are different, maybe she thought she would get the same welcome in the PB world, and finally, and I think she did say this in the pod, she thought she lost the right timing to capitalize on the GND fandom, but I think with the pod being so popular, we might get it!
I also wonder if maybe he got a loan for school and she helped him pay it off once she became a girlfriend. I think that’s very sweet of her to share the wealth with her siblings
So, is this Bridget’s new podcast to replace the ghost one?
I have no idea because she also referenced ghost magnet and said that’s coming back 😩 I think its more likely that ghost magnet comes back before she does one with her brother
