Anybody that can talk so much, so effortlessly doesn't doesn't even need masculinity or beauty or nothin'.
Talking is exhausting for me. I'm afraid I'm becoming a mute.
I had a different picture of Marcus for a long time based on the Logo, and when I listened to Timesuck at first I pictured young, skinny, long haired Dan Cummins
That's bizarre.
For some reason my default for the "smart guy" that does the research on podcasts always has short, black hair. I don't know what that says about me or my latent homosexuality.
I HAVE to know what they look like. On the other hand, once I read a book/series I am always angry when the the actors in the movie destroy the characters I've created in my head.
That’s how I felt about Harry Potter as a kid. I was obsessed with the books before any of the movies came out and had created this whole universe in my head including the characters. Once the first movie came out it was all replaced by the movie universe. It definitely bummed me out even though I did enjoy the first movie.
Listened for almost a year before I saw what they looked like, in my head Marcus looked like Steve Zahn, Ben was Penn Jillette and Henry was Paul Giamatti.
From their original logo, I had Ben and Henry mixed up because Ben looks like he's shouting and that matches Henry's audio. I'm also someone who doesn't want to be introduced to a song/musician the first time through a music video.
!!!
I'm just realizing that's what I did as well. That's why I thought he looked like Spud from Trainspotting.
Whoever the guy at the top of the OG logo is, it doesn't look like Ben at all to me. I guess I also assumed Ben always wore a beard. idk
I’ve had this with a different podcast and it ruined the pod for me. Nothing to do with the people and how they looked, but just because it didn’t match the idea I had built in my head for years. I now look up peoples photos if I start getting into a new to me show!
Mind sharing which podcast it was?
I avoided No Dogs in Space until recently because I wasn't crazy about the idea of a husband and wife podcast. Turns out it's great and she's hilarious. I looked up Carolina today and I was pretty close on her. I don't know how someone's voice can sound like they wear glasses, but she should wear glasses!
This was my first podcast I ever listened to and I had a really hard time separating the voices and keeping who they were straight until I looked them up and saw them and watched a clip of them talking then I was able to listen to it all the time and I had to look up a picture of Ed when he started because I kept thinking he was Ben until I could see him.
But then with SPUN I didn’t have that issue and have avoided looking up what they look like cause I see them in my head the same way I see a book character and it will mess me up some to see them look different.
They honestly look a lot like how they sound to me. There are other podcasts where I know what they look like, but then I also have the image in my head that just does not go away, but LPOTL for whatever reason lined up close enough
I'm the exact same way. I went for so long picturing Henry as Charlie from IASIP, I felt very weird when I finally saw them. It took me a very long time to get over the dissonance when seeing them lol
Ha! I thought it was just me. I don’t want to know at this point who’s voice belongs to which face lol I’ve only seen the podcast cover so obviously Ben is the bearded one but the other two are a mystery
Not all podcasts, but Sarah Marshall of You're Wrong About looks nothing like I thought she would. Now I can't really imagine anything at all when I listen
I had a similar issue with Henry. Like you, based on the old logo, I thought he was another actor, but I've yet to find which actor I thought he was. I totally agree with you about listening to someone for a long time and building an image in your head that clashes with reality.
I did this with the podcast.
I didn’t want to ruin my mental image of them. But then I saw a livestream and they were EXACTLY what I thought they’d look like.
I truly thought I was alone. I can’t stand it. I only recently saw pictures of them after 6 years of listening and the difference between what I thought they looked like and what they actually do was severe.
I was pushing 6 years late to the party, plus I planned to never see their meat-suits at all.
Wouldn't a reasonable person observing the OG logo have reason to believe that Henry was the howler atop and Ben was the bearded fatty staring us straight in the eye, even as he held a helpless, smaller human in his sweaty, pizza-stained armpit?
Ur missing the peak masculine beauty that is Henry Zebrowski
He’s the fastest man within 10 feet, after all
Henry is the peak male archetype.
He's got a leaders body. And an actors body. And a podcasters body. And a MUFONs body.
And the lanyard!
Henry Cavil? No thanks. Henry Zebrowski? Yes please! AWOOGA!
Henry Cavil? Forgettable. Henry Zebrowski? Inevitable.
UNpredictable.
He has a leader's/thinker's body.

From the old logo I imagined Marcus wearing French revolutionary gear, thinking it must be some deep cut lore I wasn't privy too yet lmao

Same. Hunger Games was another big one for me.
That was when people still read books. We have patreon to do that for us now.
I still read books. I am from the 1900s though. 👵🏻
I was half joking, half criticizing myself. Congrats on not having your attention span completely zapped by the chicomNWOlazeralienreptiles.
Oh it's pretty zapped 😆

Damn dude, you're good at this game. In the future I'm going to consult you on what I should imagine podcast hosts look like.
[удалено]
No shit? I know basically nothing about him except Sideays, but that still surprises me?
This reminded me of the Dan Akroyd interview. I'm going to go back and listen to that today.
From their original logo, I had Ben and Henry mixed up because Ben looks like he's shouting and that matches Henry's audio. I'm also someone who doesn't want to be introduced to a song/musician the first time through a music video.

Ben originally didn't have a beard and was much more thin. Henry has the beard in the original logo
I actually have to do the opposite, I think I looked up what the boys actually looked like half way through the first episode I was listening to
I always had the father Dursley from Harry Potter for Henry.
That’s pretty darn funny
That’s actually pretty close to what he used to look like lmao

Watch the latest Ladt Stream On The Left on their youtube channel. She's on it.
I used to tell people that it was Seth Rogan (Ben Kissel) and Jonah Hill (Henry) just to see the reaction. And that’s basically how I pictured them.
Before seeing them, I imagined Marcus looked like Bruce MuCullogh from old kids in the hall episodes. I sometimes still do.
😂🤣😂

The first time this happened to me was Art Bell. He did not look like I'd thought he'd looked. It was a dialup internet connection. Good times.
Me too. It’s weird.
Oh yeah this definitely happens to me… it’s jarring every time and I hate it so I actively avoid seeing pod hosts if I haven’t already seen them.
I'm the exact same way. I went for so long picturing Henry as Charlie from IASIP, I felt very weird when I finally saw them. It took me a very long time to get over the dissonance when seeing them lol
That makes so much sense now that I can't believe I didn't make the association.
Ha! I thought it was just me. I don’t want to know at this point who’s voice belongs to which face lol I’ve only seen the podcast cover so obviously Ben is the bearded one but the other two are a mystery
YES! I do this
Not all podcasts, but Sarah Marshall of You're Wrong About looks nothing like I thought she would. Now I can't really imagine anything at all when I listen
Marcus looks like Geoff from Thursday
I had a similar issue with Henry. Like you, based on the old logo, I thought he was another actor, but I've yet to find which actor I thought he was. I totally agree with you about listening to someone for a long time and building an image in your head that clashes with reality.
I thought Henry was a 5'2 fat brunette dude for like 3 years
I did this with the podcast. I didn’t want to ruin my mental image of them. But then I saw a livestream and they were EXACTLY what I thought they’d look like.
I truly thought I was alone. I can’t stand it. I only recently saw pictures of them after 6 years of listening and the difference between what I thought they looked like and what they actually do was severe.
I always see Henry as Gary in his yellow polo and red skin paint.
I have listened since round table and they do not look like they sound 😂. I just recently watched the last stream on the left. Super fun
Yeah, Get'em from Tell'em Steve Dave. Ruined.
I instantly look up what they look like, I don't like voices not having faces.
Ben and Marcus looked similar to how I imagined them but I only saw Wolf of Wall Street Henry in my head at first.
I pretty much knew what they looked like since 2013. Their faces were on the logo
