Last Podcast on the Left - hail yourselves

[Niggs Monaghan]

Sorry for the double post but this is the same sort of gay apology that happens on the Bam thread and it's retarded there too.

It's not an apology, at least in the way I put it. It's a catalyst.
Just like the catalyst of Ben quitting coke made him much less funny and much more fat.

So at the end of this week's episode (Hatfield McCoys Part 2) they confirm that they are FINALLY updating the graphics/logos, which among other things still features Ben Kissel circa 2017 all clean shaven, short hair, and clean cut and fuckable and not the long haired, bearded hobo that he became the last 8 years. .

They also hinted that the next set of episodes would be seasonal/winter themed. So have no clue what that will be.

It's very funny to me when she's talked about like some prize just because she's like acrobatic or whatever. Liiteral LA 0.

I remember one episode where Henry starts going off about his model wife.

Yeah, sure, Henry, everyone wants your wife. That's why she's so successful she needs to host an also-ran podcast on her overactor husband's network.

Those two fags that talk about "the butthole cut" are insufferable and reek of too much reddit, all the orbiters and parasitic podcasts that get dragged along by lpotl suck and the people behind them have zero charisma.

I never bothered looking her up but I always assumed she was super hot, considering how publicly and agressively he would simp for her before they got together and the fact that she wanted nothing with him until the podcast money started rolling in.

Man, this is the "goddess/muse/Xena the warrior princess" Henry wouldn't shut up about? LOL

She’s not exactly a looker but she’s still way out of Henry’s (the walking, smelly neckbeard stereotype) league. Honestly surprised any woman finds that blob of Crisco attractive.

thats just a bad photo, when they're together she looks better. OTOH Henry's not really as bad looking as he makes himself out to be, there are quite a few times he cleans himself up and his weight is average. There are times he's the best looking of the 3/most normal. Hell there are even times he's the best looking guy on adult swim.

Honestly idk what happened to Markus but he really made the show more and more queer as time went on also gayer too.

I was thinking this - boy, Henry and Marcus sure do talk about kissing each other a lot more since Ben left. I guess as well as playing the Everyman, he was the last bastion of heterosexuality on the podcast.

I stopped listening after Ben left (well I finished up the series and then stopped listening). Has it gotten better or worse?

I never listened to anything with Ed in before but honestly I think he’s a decent replacement. It kind of feels the same, I think? I do miss Ben sometimes, but when he was at his best - I think I found myself a few times going “oh come on Ben” towards the end, but I also don’t think he didn’t go as downhill as some people make him out to be.

Totally agree. Really enjoying Ed, he's funny and has lived a pretty interesting life so he's able to add a lot of fun tidbits to the conversation. He meshes really well with the dynamic of the show.

Not really. Marcus is the tard wrangler of the group and even though he's admitted to being a dabbler in faggotry (admitting that he experimented with men in his younger days before going full hetero and even getting shit from Henry and Ben over it because gay Marcus would be more valuable to the brand than straight Marcus). And in a lot of ways, he's the glue holding the show together especially right now even if he still has to tard wrangle Henry.

Better, if only because Ed Larson knows he's the replacement scrappy and is doing his best to fit in and be low key for people who might be pissed that Ben was forced out. He's a slightly better foil for Henry since Ed comes off as a more grounded normie version of Henry and there isn't the undercurrent with Ed that Ben had in the last couple of years with Ben just giving up on life what with his lack of grooming.

It also helps that they've been doing some big time episodes recently (Wonderland Murders, Fatal Vision, Necrophilia, the Soccer Team that ate their dead after their plane crashed). Though I didn't like the dig at Ben Marcus put out when they did the Versaci Murder episodes, where Marcus all but said that Ben used his veto power to keep them from doing a series on Andrew Cunanan and how as soon as Ben was gone, Marcus immediately started work on making the series one of the first post-Ben series on the show.

But are the jokes still "edgy and fun" ?

 

[FedPostalService]

I’m betting “edgy yet safe and inclusive”

 

[CowPox]

These guys are huge faggots and the mentally ill unfunny audience they've cultivated for themselves is the one they deserve. And i'm sure it won't be long before they destroy lpotl completely.

 

[MirrorNoir]

There are child molestation jokes in the Versacci episodes relating to Andrew Cunanon's dad (with Marcus agreeing to call Cunanon's dad "Molesto" after Ed and Henry kept calling him such). And Marcus does seem to have a lot of fun imitating Jeffrey McDonald in a series of anti-women/mysoginist in-character rants he provides while making Henry imitating McDonald in the more generic imitation bits.

I agree that Ed is better than Ben in Decline. The last few years, Ben’s commentary during the podcast episodes got progressively more and more depressing. He would make comments or inadvertently provide details of his life that were so bleak and sad. Fucking that certifiable OnlyFans whore seems like nothing more than one more avenue of self harm for a very complicated, self-destructive person.


I don’t think there’s going to be a comeback for Ben on LPN. If that was ever the plan, and I’m not confident it was, Ben doesn’t seem to be playing the repentant sinner in exile very well. His most recent post on Instagram was in a bar and the comments were what you’d expect for a recent graduate of meme-rehab center Passages. Lots of “as a former alcoholic” in there.

 

[femme oddjob 2.0]

I think Ben had all his ownership rights either bought out or terminated, if I’m remembering correctly.

The ex seems absolutely unhinged but I think there must be some truth behind her claims for him to have been completely cut off - I think you’re completely correct @blue gopher snakes when you say it was another avenue of self harm for an already complicated person, that’s putting it perfectly. I just hope he gets the help he needs and actually is in a place to accept it while it’s there and available for him.

I saw them live a year ago or so and tbh though I’d seen pictures I was a bit surprised to see Ben looking like he’d woken up last minute and been dragged on stage in a huge cardigan and joggers - like he’s not on a runway but everything about him just looked like a fucking mess. It’s hard to tell from one picture but it looks like his hair is at least brushed in that one, so hopefully it’s a positive start to the year for him.

I randomly see Kissel on that old Travel channel show still, it’s crazy and sad seeing him looking semi-healthy and at least cleaned up compared to how he started to look over the past few years.
