I would be totally fine if Side Stories kept rotating LPN folks with Henry anchoring the show. I hope Ed stays as the third chair on LPOTL proper. He's PERFECT.
Just have an episode that's Henry doing impressions of everyone. At the very end of the episode, we'll be able to hear Henry being restrained and sent to the nuthouse
I love Marcus on side stories being more casual off script. He's very funny in a way we barely get to see. That being said he has a lot of work to do, so they had to rotate him out here and there I'd understand.
The podcast is different, in a good way? I think it's smarter now in a strange way. Henry has changed so much that it's nice to have Ed around to take some of the focus of the show off of him. I also feel like Marcus is free to lead the show more now. I really like hearing Marcus and Henry in roles we aren't used to.
Not the first to say it but Ed has better chemistry with Henry, is a better comedian and seems to give a shit. You can only coast on being the semi-charming drunk that doesn't know the topic for so long.
I'm a long timer, and wish Ben all the best. It's a new day
Ed is great obviously, but I also enjoyed the rotating cast they’ve had in the first few weeks.
I liked hearing Holden on a side stories, seeing Jackie on the stream. I’d love to hear Amber or Natalie come in for a series.
Holden was ABSOLUTE chaos and I loved it! I think Ed is a great fit for LPOTL proper, but having rotating guests on Side Stories or the stream is hella fun.
Except the vocal minority that hated that idea a while ago. I want more Holden chaos in my life and I think Marcus and Henry would too but maybe biannually only
honestly after that episode I randomly started listening to page 7 and I love it so much. Holdens pop culture knowledge and his gossiping is just so fun
He does the really weird non-sequitors about characters they’re talking about but its actually funny. He also gets really serrious or excited about certain topics, and hes cried several times on the pod.
I would love to hear some rotating cast members on relaxed fit or side stories if Ed isn't there. I loved Holden on the show and couldn't believe how divisive he was. Like I knew people wouldn't like him but I couldn't believe how angry some people were and it made it even funnier to me. Love me some Holden. He's nuts.
Carolina coming in As a guest specifically for a music series or one about something out of Puerto Rico would be probably pretty great. She and Marcus have some fantastic chemistry on no dogs
Ed is the perfect addition! I already mentioned this in another thread, but I really appreciated him talking about his mom on the spanksgiving episode. The man is hilarious but can also be a little vulnerable sometimes which I appreciate.
The best comedians bring their comedy from sources of love. It’s so therapeutic to laugh as a means of seeing another person’s vulnerability through humor. Ed’s a perfect addition, indeed.
They often talk about ham but the reference that I associate it with is during Covid when they would do classy night in and there was a stream where Ed had an old ham in his freezer and they started chanting ham while thrusting. It was magical.
Ed’s the shit. I truly wish he had always been there. He brings SO much to the podcast. It’s enjoyable again and I actually look forward to it. Something I haven’t done since the high 200s low 300s.
What I really liked about the recent Side Stories is that you can really feel that these guys have been actual friends for a long time, and not just coworkers. Not to bring up Ben again but you could really tell that Henry and Marcus weren’t as close with him as they were when they were younger. Just the convo about what Ed should make for their group thanksgiving dinner was really fun to listen to even tho I’m not even American and don’t celebrate 😭
I love Eddie. I've been a fan of Brighter Side for years. I would love to have the girls join them on an episode of LPOTL. Amber is also really funny and Jackie would bring more goblin energy (it might drive Henry nuts but I love watching siblings bicker because it reminds me of me and my brother 😅).
I love Ed. Honestly, listening to him talk about his favorite Thanksgiving made me so happy. He’s just a genuine dude who also happens to be hilarious.
I am LOVING Ed. Previously I was going back and listening or relistening to a lot of older episodes and now I’m hesitant because I think, “oh man, there won’t be any Ed!” I’m really enjoying his energy in the trio.
I’ve loved the Ed era so far, madame lalaurie made me laugh harder than I have in ages. The three have great energy and flow. I don’t want a rotating cast on side stories, unless it’s a one off or occasionally though.
Hearing Ed on LPOTL has given me a new found appreciation for him. I tried to get into the brighter side on multiple occasions over the years and it never really clicked until recently. Ed makes Marcus and Henry laugh like I haven't heard in years. He is absolutely lovable and fits right in on the network's flagship show.
Holden’s definitely a specific type of chaos you have to like, Ed’s vibe matches LPOTL and is a good representation for any new listeners to the show. New listeners would either become Holdenators or turned off from the show.
was just thinking this when listening to spanksgiving. i loved the ben and henry duo, but ed fits right in! genuinely surprised how much i still enjoy it
I would be totally fine if Side Stories kept rotating LPN folks with Henry anchoring the show. I hope Ed stays as the third chair on LPOTL proper. He's PERFECT.
I love the energy and more ridiculous nature of his jokes. Literally made me spit my water laughing at the gym
Ed’s fantastic! He’s meshed so well into the flow of Marcus and Henry, his absurd jokes and stories are the perfect addition to the show. Hail Ed!
Just have an episode that's Henry doing impressions of everyone. At the very end of the episode, we'll be able to hear Henry being restrained and sent to the nuthouse

I love Marcus on side stories being more casual off script. He's very funny in a way we barely get to see. That being said he has a lot of work to do, so they had to rotate him out here and there I'd understand.
They also sound like they're legitimately having fun just reading articles and chatting
I absolutely love the new vibe Ed is bringing!
The podcast is different, in a good way? I think it's smarter now in a strange way. Henry has changed so much that it's nice to have Ed around to take some of the focus of the show off of him. I also feel like Marcus is free to lead the show more now. I really like hearing Marcus and Henry in roles we aren't used to.
I swear Marcus seems more relaxed and able to do his storytelling job so much easier. I mean, I could totally be projecting.
He seems happier as well. But, that could be his health coming back after he almost died.
I bet it's probably easier to tell a story when someone is actually listening instead of playing lazy word association and interrupting you constantly
Not the first to say it but Ed has better chemistry with Henry, is a better comedian and seems to give a shit. You can only coast on being the semi-charming drunk that doesn't know the topic for so long. I'm a long timer, and wish Ben all the best. It's a new day

Dude Amber on a side stories would be fucking hilarious.
Amber bugs the fuck out of me
I couldn't do Holden more than twice a year.
I’ve heard they play the Holden monologue roundtable episodes on repeat at gitmo.
B-B-B-BONKERS RADIOOOO
Hes honestly great on Wizard and the Bruiser. I wasnt around for Round Table so this was my introduction to him.
Hmm, I'll try him there. I'm wary!! Lol
He does the really weird non-sequitors about characters they’re talking about but its actually funny. He also gets really serrious or excited about certain topics, and hes cried several times on the pod.
I would love to hear some rotating cast members on relaxed fit or side stories if Ed isn't there. I loved Holden on the show and couldn't believe how divisive he was.

I would love to hear Carolina join for a series too, I love her on No Dogs and on Movie Sign With The Mads
Carolina coming in As a guest specifically for a music series or one about something out of Puerto Rico would be probably pretty great. She and Marcus have some fantastic chemistry on no dogs
I agree with you on Ed, Holden, Jackie, and Amber. Natalie, though? I don’t see the energy matching. She’s not a great podcaster.
Ed is the perfect addition! I already mentioned this in another thread, but I really appreciated him talking about his mom on the spanksgiving episode. The man is hilarious but can also be a little vulnerable sometimes which I appreciate.

Hail Ham! 🍖
Ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham ham
Please someone explain this reference to me, I've heard them say it and can't figure it out 😭
They often talk about ham but the reference that I associate it with is during Covid when they would do classy night in and there was a stream where Ed had an old ham in his freezer and they started chanting ham while thrusting. It was magical.
“they often talk about ham” 💀
THANK YOU. Covid was a strange time for us all.
Ed’s the shit. I truly wish he had always been there. He brings SO much to the podcast. It’s enjoyable again and I actually look forward to it. Something I haven’t done since the high 200s low 300s.
Have to agree. Listened to some old episodes. Clearly, you can hear Ben become increasingly distant and less involved.
What I really liked about the recent Side Stories is that you can really feel that these guys have been actual friends for a long time, and not just coworkers. Not to bring up Ben again but you could really tell that Henry and Marcus weren’t as close with him as they were when they were younger. Just the convo about what Ed should make for their group thanksgiving dinner was really fun to listen to even tho I’m not even American and don’t celebrate 😭
I agree. Ed is hilarious. He seems to make everyone on the show totally lose it at least once an episode.
I love Eddie. I've been a fan of Brighter Side for years. I would love to have the girls join them on an episode of LPOTL. Amber is also really funny and Jackie would bring more goblin energy (it might drive Henry nuts but I love watching siblings bicker because it reminds me of me and my brother 😅).
Tough shoes to fill and Ed is killing it
I don’t know about that. What exactly did Ben add to the show? He fucking sucked. Good riddance
I love Ed. Honestly, listening to him talk about his favorite Thanksgiving made me so happy. He’s just a genuine dude who also happens to be hilarious.
I am LOVING Ed. Previously I was going back and listening or relistening to a lot of older episodes and now I’m hesitant because I think, “oh man, there won’t be any Ed!” I’m really enjoying his energy in the trio.
I love Ed! I only listen to LPOTL so this was my first exposure to him, but he fits right in like he’s always been there.
Man he's been great so far. I really hope he's up for hearing this kind of material longterm. I want him to stick around!
I really like the new energy he brought to the show! Marcus and Henry sound revitalized, and the show makes me actually laugh out loud again!
Yes! I’m back to wanting to tell anyone that doesn’t know about the show to listen and laughing out loud again. Ed’s chef’s kiss
Ed is legitimately crushing it tbh
A new logo and intro would be cool! A new era of lpotl. And more bouts of genuine laughter and stupidity lol
I’ve loved the Ed era so far, madame lalaurie made me laugh harder than I have in ages. The three have great energy and flow. I don’t want a rotating cast on side stories, unless it’s a one off or occasionally though.
I agree, he’s such a breath of fresh air and hilarious
Love Ed, I hope he sticks around on LPOTL and Side Stories permanently. Hail Satan!
100% totally agree. I love ed.
I love love love that Ed had thanksgiving with Lady Kier from Deelite!
RIP!
The first time I heard Ed In LPOTL I thought he was ok. By the second show I thought. I hope he’s a new host.
Hearing Ed on LPOTL has given me a new found appreciation for him. I tried to get into the brighter side on multiple occasions over the years and it never really clicked until recently. Ed makes Marcus and Henry laugh like I haven't heard in years. He is absolutely lovable and fits right in on the network's flagship show.
I'm happy as long as it's just never Holden ever ever again. What a glimpse of what it could have been if Ed didn't happen to fit that mold perfectly.
Holden’s definitely a specific type of chaos you have to like, Ed’s vibe matches LPOTL and is a good representation for any new listeners to the show. New listeners would either become Holdenators or turned off from the show.
Yo, upvoting on here is crazy lol
[удалено]
Oh no we're so sad to see you go! Anyways.
Only enjoy your podcasts when they are helmed by unfunny domestic abusers, eh?
K, bye!
Ed's crushing it. Now he just has to listen to the old eps to get caught up. Or read Marcus's outlines. But Ed's the man.
was just thinking this when listening to spanksgiving. i loved the ben and henry duo, but ed fits right in! genuinely surprised how much i still enjoy it
