  • Friendship goals

    Eddie and Amber are not only two of the funniest people on the air waves, they’re also incredible friends to one another. Listening to the Brighter Side is like a warm hug from a weird aunt.

  • Don’t bother

    Listened to the episode right after the Trump election wherein Amber decries the rise of fascism (good) then followed it up by immediately supporting the extrajudicial killing of homeless men that make her personally uncomfortable. So some fascism is okay I guess? Just a show with two idiots talking about things they don’t understand.

  • Great random topic podcast

    I love Amber and Ed! Amber is one of my favorite people on the network. I love everyone at LPN but I feel like I really relate to Amber and her struggle with her religious upbringing and family. <3
