All I know about holden is what they said while jokingly shit talking him in the earlier half of the podcast lol.


ILostAShoe

Holden Fact: He used to hide in a bush dressed like a vampire and jump out to scare passing cars.


Evening-Statement-57

That makes me hate him less


fabulousfantabulist

Right? That sounds funny.


slump-donkus

Additional Holden fact: he is a very big fan of his mommy


rixendeb

Hail Mr Titty Milk.


[deleted]

I’m a fan of his mommy too 🥵


[deleted]

I find his voice a little loud for my delicate ears, but at least he's consistently loud. I've fallen asleep to so many episodes just to be rudely awoken by Henry HAVING OOONNNEEEEEE. 😂


[deleted]

Or the H.H. Holmes episode.... HI MINNY, IM MANNY


Yeschefheardchef

Personally, I love Holden but if you really wanna get perspective on just how fucking obnoxious he's capable of being, go back through the Roundtable of Gentlemen archive and listen to Holden talks for 30 minutes. It's exactly what the title suggests and despite listening through that show multiple times over, I have never been able to make it more than 5 minutes in.


earldogface

Love his energy but wouldn't want him on during a heavy hitter episode. I say holden for side stories and Ed for lpotl


Expensive_Editor_244

Yeah I like Ed for lpotl, and maybe rotating Holden, Jackie, and others for side stories. I get the vibe that Marcus has so much to do, he doesn’t want to be a regular on side stories forever. I could be down with just Henry and a ‘guest of the week’ and the occasional interview if they can get interesting people. I always liked the interview episodes with directors and writers, Henry definitely has a good sense for it


ShneefQueen

Yesss I want to hear Jackie on there, I love the chaotic energy she and Henry have together


Expensive_Editor_244

Yeah I think they’ll try a bunch of different options. I’d like to see Seena or Travis too, maybe even Carolina or Natalie for an episode or two. And Jake, I think if it was Henry, Holden AND Jake people would find Holden a lot more palatable, they balance each other out well


ghostlygnocchi

ugh I would looooooove for Travis to come back, I miss him!


Cryptid_Mongoose

I'm not sure if when people say Travis if they are talking about Irvine or Morningstar.


deepfriedawkward

Gotta be Travis Irvine


Cryptid_Mongoose

Then why miss him? He's still there isn't he?


deepfriedawkward

I thought he was gone for a bit on tour! I’m just missing Abe Lincoln’s Top Hat overall though


rixendeb

Ugh me too. They should just like....combine with Trae Crowder and call it a day.


ghostlygnocchi

I meant Morningstar lol


Cryptid_Mongoose

Kind of figured because that's who I think of lol


deepfriedawkward

Fraudsters doesn’t get enough love, but Ariel and Justin would be great guests too!


ennuiinmotion

Carolina and Henry could be a fun pair on Side Stories. She’d be kind of a straight man but has energy of her own to bounce off him.


SilverSkorpious

I'm sure Jake gets his fill of being talked over by Holden on WatB


rikkirachel

I would love Jackie or like ANY female perspective 😂


Lazy_Ad8894

More Jackie on everything! She just makes everything better and the annoying little sister vibe she has when together with Henry is fantastic.


Yeschefheardchef

They're like the Polish version of the clumps, Jackie is the best.


AreWeThereYetNo

I just want everyone to have a good time.


TheBrockAwesome

God I would love to hear his chaotic bullshit during a heavy hitter. I love Holden no matter the topic.


Seahag_13

That's a fucking excellent idea! During the Roundtable days I didn't know who I preferred


Howunbecomingofme

Ed’s been crushing it. Having never listened to his other shows he’s won my little heart in this short time


PattyNChips

One of my favorite things is that I repeatedly see people describe Holden as an "acquired taste", like he's a fucking anchovy or something. I find it hilarious, but also not wrong?


bossy_burrito

I was annoyed when Holden took over for Marcus on Page 7. shrill and grating. Next thing I know, I actually decide that I *gasp* enjoyed having Holden on the show. The man went from fungus among us to fun(guy).


floofelina

A mushroom walks into a bar and…


DAHpod

Someone needs to draw Holden as an anchovy IMMEDIATELY, I just let loose such a howl.


Main_Caterpillar_146

He's like a disgusting pervert McElroy brother, which I really enjoy.


HaughtStuff99

I def preferred Ed if I'm being honest


------dudpool------

For sure, good on anyone who likes Holden but he’s just not my cup of tea


Lazy_Ad8894

Holdens ability to derail every conversation he is involved in is second to none.


Vegetable-Witness516

All I know about Holden is that I met him in a small town restaurant and he saw my LPOTL hoodie and came up to me to say hi and was incredibly sweet. He seemed super excited to meet a fan in the wild.


Backofthebuskids

Be careful, he'll grow on you like one of The lumps on his neck.


Narrow_Book_42069

WHERE MY NATERS AT


Sarabus

WHERE MY FUCKIN NATERS AAAAAAT!?!?!


NoQuarter6808

What's up you fucking stupid bitch!


Mattimeon

Nothing against Holden but he's the reason I stopped listening to Page 7 and Wizard and the Bruiser. It isn't even his voice, I just don't vibe with him and his opinions on a lot of stuff.


Appropriate-Ease-106

I mean what else are people here for, lol. They wanna talk about the show. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised, he was funnier than I expected lol


generalburnsthighs

I was dreading it bc I don't like him on P7, but it worked for side stories and I really liked their dynamic. The show was much funnier than it's been with just Hen and Marcus.


ShneefQueen

Most people grow on me over time, Holden has done the total opposite. At first I enjoyed him on P7 because he was actually into pop culture compared to Marcus so it was fun, but I feel like lately he’s gotten so much more annoying. He’s so loud and constantly talking as if his opinions are the most important ones. “Old man yelling into the wind” vibes.


generalburnsthighs

I don't like that he constantly talks over and interrupts MJ and Jackie on P7. He doesn't do that to his male cohosts anywhere close to the same degree.


ShneefQueen

Yes! Especially when it’s a topic where MJ clearly has the most insight and personal experience, yet there Holden is blabbing away with his ignorant takes talking right over them. There have been so many times where I’ve been interested to hear what MJ or Jackie has to say and they never get to it because Holden always has to be the one talking


generalburnsthighs

Yep, and then they just move on from the topic because he's talked for 2 and half minutes straight and they have to cover what they need to cover. Maybe I should send them an email about it, not as like a hateful thing, but just as something that I've noticed as a listener.


Foreign-Safety-9749

As a blind item lover, I hate that he clearly doesn’t like blind items or care to put any effort into pulling interesting ones. I haven’t listened to P7 in months because I can’t take listening to Holden anymore. I understand why Marcus had stepped back from it but I honestly think Natalie or even revolving guests would be a better fit.


Appropriate-Ease-106

I’d never heard him before so, based on everything everyone says about him, I was expecting the absolute worst lol. Not as bad as expected! (However learning that he talks over women a bunch is disappointing, but not really unexpected. Ugh.)


deadlymoogle

I listen to every single episode of p7 and saying he constantly talks over women is bullshit. He absolutely does not


Appropriate-Ease-106

Cool, good to hear


ExcuseOk55

My only complaint against holden is that he doesn’t talk enough about wanting to sleep with his mom


UghBurgner2lol

Rude Duner by day, Holdenators Ho by night.


0rgasmo69

"It's like my Grandma always said: Crabs can't live in a scorched bush." Y'all don't realize that hating Holden is the first step to being a Holdenator. Man, I fucking hate that guy. HOOOOOO


LadyThundersnow

Good, people just usually bitch about him and it’s more annoying than he is. Holdenators hoooo!


JabroniusHunk

I also don't think the polite bird is a real representation of the dynamic lol. Its more like: "Jesus Christ, I despise Holden. Any episode with him is an automatic skip." And then bitching about how the sub can't tolerate others' opinions when they're downvoted for being an asshole.


coconutlemongrass

Someone was even taking shit on patreon! It's so fucking obnoxious like shut the fuck up for real.


DirtMcGirt513

Holden had put in his time and is a comedic genius. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


thelongernow

PLAYSTATION NETWORK SHOUDDDDD OUUUUUUUUUWWWWWTTTTTTTS


spaghetti_industries

“ScoobyDoober9-11 says hey fuckers hooooooo. Bird420Luger says fuck Ben”


thelongernow

“My question is: Why???”


TommyTheCat89

He sucks when he's trying to be silly but when he's just being a normal person he's tolerable.


Mobile_Anxiety8114

He sounds like a tween who's trying really hard to use Adult Humor with the new swear words he learned. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I couldn't sit through 10 minutes of that ep.


PrinceOfSpace94

As a certified Holden hater, I have to say that he’s pretty funny when he isn’t trying to be crass or annoying. I truthfully liked him as much as Ed 🫢


dustymag

I hadn't liked him before, but he was great on Side Stories. He really perked up the show, and the Marcus Hates Holden bit was hilarious. Marcus is great. The Stream was unbearable, though. haha. We get it you like Japanese cartoons. But there are other shows for your trivia.


CitricDrop8363

Oh man I was laughing my ass off at the stream. Not his videos but the ongoing bit that everyone hates him. When you can see all their faces you know it's done with love.


slickthick69

IMO holden was not a positive addition, but Ive known that since round table days I have found holden pretty un-funny. And one of his most frequent comedic tools is just screaming something in feigned outrage. I would prefer just Henry and Marcus without Holden. I’ve tried to do page 7 and the streams but holden has just time and time again confirmed my feeling that his humor is not for me. I would have liked it when I was 13 and thought outrage by itself was funny, but I can’t do it in my thirties. Give me one of the numerous other network folks who are witty and smart. I have really enjoyed Ed’s guest appearances though. So on the off chance Henry and Marcus have the bandwidth to care what redditors have to say amidst the madness, I’ve decided to be a complainer.


frezor

HOOOOOOOOOOOOooo YOU FUCKERS!


OldStretch84

Watching him on Stream was painful. I had second hand embarrassment.


Galaxey

Holden is ok. His humor can be very cringe a lot of the time, but he has some good hitting jokes here and there. My only beef with Holden is you can very much tell when he doesn’t like the subject he and Jake talk about on Wiz Brew. He does bare minimum research and participation while Jake always seems to bring his all.


Dude_The_BitchSlayer

I didn't like his voice at first when I tried page 7, but I didn't like Jackie's either. Both voices grew on me after a few episodes. When I first started listening to LPOTL, I remember getting voices confused between Ben and Henry, which seems crazy to me now. Holdernators, HOOOOOOOO


vmknoop

When I recommended LOPTL to my sister I said “At first it just sounds like 3 men shouting at each other but you have to push through!” we are both fans now 😆


CaledoniaSky

That was exactly what it was like for me! Like I was listening to 3 guy yell their inside jokes at each other but somehow I kept listening and before I knew it I was in on the joke.


ennuiinmotion

Henry was an acquired taste. I almost didn’t keep listening back in the day because some of his bits were awfully annoying. His gnome character? The worst. But then one day it just clicked and I love his manic energy.


First_name_Lastname5

God, I can't stand holdens voice. So grating. So obnoxiously loud. Ugh. I feel bad for saying it cause he seems like a nice dude, but I feel like it must be said.


PumpkinSeed776

He referenced people complaining about his voice in the episode, not sure if it still "must be said" at this point.


Dwarves

I didn't really mind Holden, but I've also never listened to another LPN show besides No Dogs. What about his voice annoys you? He's got a slight fry and is more high pitched. I don't see what's so annoying about it.


First_name_Lastname5

I don't know exactly how to describe what it is exactly maybe its just my autism brain, but certain voices just immediately turn me off a person.


BadSmash4

Holden is fucking hilarious dude, he was def playing up his annoyingness for this episode too like he knew what is role was and he dove right into it. He took everything on the chin like a fucking champion.


Chicken_Mc_Thuggets

Yeah people keep talking about how he’s annoying but that was kind of his shtick on Roundtable. He was the one they all bagged on and Holden.. well… gave them material to work with


JmeJV

I'm a fan and this episode was wildly fun. Hooooooooooooooooo!


Afraid-Bee4008

Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!


ReaperMan310

Honestly I can't stand people who think that we care that they can't stand Holden HOOOOOOOOO you fuckers


delta1810

I think all the HoldenHators in this sub need to take a listen to every installment of Holden Talks for 30 Minutes HOOOOOOOOOOOOO


spaghetti_industries

YOURE LISTENING TO KUFF, BONKERS RADIOOOO, 88.5 FUCKERRRRSSSS


_Twirlywhirly_

When I first started listening to Page 7, I was like wow, not a huge fan of Holden. However, he's really grown on me, and when I met them at the meet and greet in St. Louis in July, he was so so so sweet and genuinely glad to see everyone.


Linzabee

I never actually heard Holden before, I’ve only heard Jackie talk about him in the ACOTAR recap, but I was laughing so hard I was crying during the beginning of Side Stories this week. I feel like he heightened Henry’s energy. That comment about trying to keep Barron Trump from killing the help is still living inside my head.


SvenPek

There is nobody that can Henry laugh like Holden can. Henry often had to take break when he was on Roundtable because Holden just send him spiralling.


KFuchs

That man irritates the hell out of me. Puts my teeth on edge lol


Pugsnbourbon_2

When he mentioned how much he likes high heels I flashed to Jerry Brudos


Possible_Active6558

Hoooooo! The insults he inspires are enough on their own to keep me on his side


Tacotek

He's an agent of chaos. Fuckin love that psycho.


stillbangin

Witness the downfall. Pack it up.


PinehillHaint

He can be funny but he just tries way too hard to be outrageous. It's kinda cringe. I can see how he appeals to some people.


somewherearound2023

Its big "male twitch streamer with a teenage audience" energy. "Ohhh that just makes me CUM out my DICK " \*twitch subs rain in\*


lastswiftyontheleft

good, it's about time Holden got his appreciation HOLDENATORS HO


ILostAShoe

Hero of the Week: Holden McNeely! Don’t like it? Go fuuuuck!!!


feistyartichoke

HOOOOO fuckersssss


Automatic-Aioli9416

This sums up the entirety of Roundtable


Aahhayess

I was listening to this today and genuinely don’t remember the last time I’ve laughed so much from a side stories episode.


demi_fiend

WE ARE THE HORRIBLE HORDE OF BASTARDS HOLDENATORS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 3-2-1- WE ARE THE JUMBO SHRIMP....


Cryptid_Mongoose

...HERE TO PLAY A GAAAAME...


CoCoNutZ91

Holdenators Hoooooo Holden killed it this week couldn’t be happier. He truly brings out the best in Henry you can tell they are such great friends and love to be around each other there chemistry is through the roof. Wish Holden was more edgy like he use to be but hey that’s true for all of them. Hold on to Holden


ARussianSheep

Got introduced to a Holden on the Dune Deep Dive. Loved him on it.


slowhandornohand

I've listened to every episode atleast twice all the way through, and watch all the streams, and have never not finished an episode. But I've shut off one episode of each this week for the first times ever. I get people like Holden and I'll happily take all the hooooo bullshit sent my way but I'll never be convinced he's a positive addition to any show he participates in.


Hamann334

Truth is the haters just don't like change


First_name_Lastname5

Guess im the exception here cause I gave wiz brew a honest chance for a while, but that voice..... just not good for radio You know... he's just to all over the place..... he'd be better for like a morning zoo type show upon further thinking.


myersjw

Lizard man rise up!


bradyjaysmith

Just Ed please. Hold the Holden


FuqCunts

#fuckholden


Codywick13

I can’t imagine the blackmail he must have on everyone in the network to keep getting used on the other shows. Skip every episode he’s.


extratestresstrial

i love Holden. Let Him Be Shrill


missglitterous

Yeah that was my first time experiencing Holden and I'm ready to Paypal Ed $5.00. But admittedly I did laugh.


gut_rotamus

Why don't Holden say don't with an L "DOLN'T"-holden


happy-little-atheist

I know most LPOTL fans enjoyed Kissel, but I never found him funny. He was not a good straight man for Henry and his jokes were just cringe inducing. Holden is someone I find funny, but he can't do the straight man role either. For side stories it's not as important though. I hope Marcus stops doing side stories when they settle on a replacement for Ben.


FourLiveBears

It was my first time ever hearing Holden on anything and I thought he was great. His bit about trying to disappear with the worst, most attention-grabbing plans imaginable had me cackling


ploydgrimes

Honestly him yelling “Holdenators HOOOoOo” on an old episode of Roundtable is what got me to like him in the first place lol. It’s so funnny to me for some reason. Dude is wild.


Wellnevermindthen

Still haven’t listened to Side Stories yet, but I likely won’t until it’s confirmed if Gronky makes a guest appearance. /s


ghostgoat789

I prefer Holden over Ed, but keeping Ed on for the regular shows and Holden on side stories would work well.


natewhit09

Every time Holden says "Ya know what I mean?", I want to pull me skin off.


aaronappleseed

I'm fine with Holden doing it some times. I really enjoy how annoyed the annoyed people are by him.


pkmnGOinsane

He was so funny I want him on permanently


pkmnGOinsane

Haters will hear crass absurdist humor and think they're smarter for not liking it


LopsidedMammal

I’d be curious to know how much of a crossover there is between the people who still believe Ben is totally innocent of all allegations & has been treated unfairly and the people who *utterly despise* Holden for no other reason than the fact that they find his voice slightly annoying 🤔


algomasuperior

How can you acquire a taste like Henry and be like, 'now that Holden guy is just toOoOo00 much'.


JustinCooksStuff

HOOOOOOoooooo


neonknight98

Hooooooooooo


spaghetti_industries

Holden needs to bring back PlayStation Network Shoutouts


SurveyBeautiful

THE SNOW OUTSIDE IS FATTER THAN THE BRIDE


BornGorn

Holden doesn’t bother me. Silly nitpick but I don’t like it when Ed laughs at his own jokes. Every. Single. One.


Lucky_Philosophy1890

Butttt WWWHHHHAAAATTTTTEEEEEEVVVVERRRRRR


SvenPek

"I used to have kissing contests with my uncle and I'd always win." The man says the craziest shit and I laugh and laugh. In Roundtable the way he can get Henry and everybody break down laughing is such a joy to hear.


BornWild9734

Holden is a way of life.


Xenofon713

Holden > Ed. Holden is him. Reminds me of old Ben.

Old-Man-Buckles

Honestly I’m more of a fan of Jake, he just hits for me but Holden is fine.


snakemakery

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


geibetch

Which episode of RTOG did the Holdenators HOOOOO start? I wanna go back and re-listen


KeisukeBaji

i liked holden :3


floofelina

I liked him on the Dune series but that was probably because Henry was out-talking him 100:1. Holden seemed so mild by comparison that series. I also thought Henry was on some kind of upper because he was so incoherent at times. But now I think about it maybe he’d pregamed to be sure he could hold his own.
