The Brighter Side gang did the unthinkable: listened to younger versions of themselves wax poetic about everything from eating puke to the possibility of getting married. To celebrate officially passing the 600-episode mark, Ed, Amber, Julie, and Ashley dug into the archives for a Best Of, revisiting bear cunnilingus, the early days of the pandemic, and a few gems that made them think, “Wow, we really did drink heavily at every recording.” A lot has changed, but we’re still here, making each other laugh and finding the brighter side. Enjoy!

Julie and Amber go toe for toe sharing the things they were most scared of as children. Do these things still scare you? No? Prove it! Try to summon Bloody Mary without getting chills. Double Dog Dare Ya!
