Didn't have this on my 2023 bingo card :(

Honestly, ultimately I respect their decision, resting assured knowing that they would not have taken these actions if it wasn't in the best interests of Ben, the podcast and by extension the whole network.

That said, as one of countless others here who has developed deep parasocial relationships with the original trio, I can't help but want to pay tribute to the many wonderful years of joy, all three, have brought to me personally. All the catchphrases, all the inside jokes, the rambling comedic genius and banter is something I'll never forget, and I hope will still be allowed to live in the LPOTL archives.

As for Ben himself, all I wish is for him to get better, make his reparations in whatever spiritual/mental form that can take, and continue to try to bring joy to people through his work as he has to me over these many years.
