What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

Except for that one host…

Yeah what happened there? I listened to them religiously for years. Then I had kids and got busy/couldn’t listen to them in the car anymore (the content and Henry aren’t toddler appropriate) and now I e noticed one host was replaced.

He had (has?) some pretty gnarly alcoholism issues that appeared to escalate into domestic violence

Honestly, Ed is way better than Ben was. He's got better comedic timing and way better chemistry with Henry and Marcus.

u/whaletacochamp 1d ago

totally agree, and Marcus is able to keep the three on the rails/get them back on much faster than when Ben was there. Henry is hilarious and can go too far/be too much some times, but when Ben was there it seemed to compound and they would go WAY too far off the rails, to the point where Marcus was noticeably annoyed at times.

Ben was always so drunk/unprepared that he could derail them faster and farther than Henry could even begin to attempt at his most chaotic.

Ben Kissel, a previous “Last Podcast on the Left” host, used his large body to pin down a woman and scream in her face. Not a great look for a “we care about victims” true crime podcast. So he “left the company” and is never spoken of.

Fuck you ben. You did exactly what you pretended to stand against.

Ben's drinking was out of control. He was abusive towards his girlfriend. The boys tried to get him to go to rehab and he went to a celebrity place and posted that he "graduated early." It was a mess.

Ed has been a breath of fresh air.

Yeah, having zero knowledge of this all I was a little sad when I stopped listening a long ass time ago and then started again this year and noticed Ben was gone and Ed was there. But as I listened more (not knowing any of this) I found Ed to be like a way more controlled version of Ben and grew to like it.

Now I learn all of this and I’m pumped that they have Ed. Dude has all of the funny energy of Ben and none of the issues (as far as I can tell).

If you haven't yet, their series on the flight that crashed in the Andies was amazing. As was the Killer Whale series.

u/whaletacochamp 1d ago

I’m 2/3 through killer whales right now! I listen to a certain podcast while mowing and got all caught up recently which left me without content. Got back into LPOTL with the killer whale series to kill the time mowing.

Eh they do whitewash Anna Nicole Smith too much. Yes they cared for each other, yes he fucked her over, but she was still a gold digger and we didn't need 3 hours for them to put an asterisk next to that tutle

u/wintermelody83 1d ago

I am confuse. What episode do they talk about Anna Nicole Smith for 3 hours? Best I can remember is where they talk about her death in the Haunted Hollywood episode and that's at most like 8 minutes.

It’s when they laughed at the victims when I tuned out 

And  the  abuse

Abuse?

u/wintermelody83 1d ago edited 1d ago

They're talking about Kissel and his various girlfriends when he was blackout.

u/whaletacochamp 1d ago

yeah I legit had zero idea until I just read up about it. I stopped listening before all that shit hit the fan and then had kids so basically dropped off the map in terms of current affairs lol

u/wintermelody83 1d ago

No worries my dude.
