The Brighter Side

Latest Episodes:

Jail Feb 08, 2019

Show notes

We all like to think we’re above getting in trouble with the law, but sometimes even putting your feet up on a subway seat or not paying a parking ticket can land you on the slippery slope to government mandated torture. So grab a beer (as long as your not driving), and give a listen to some cruel and unusual punishment handed out to everyday Americans

It's the beginning of the year, so how could we not be thinking of money? On this episode of The Brighter Side, Amber and Ed sit down with the owners of Boxelder Consulting, to help us understand what we can expect this upcoming financial year, and they give tips on how to keep your head above water financially no matter how bad you think it may be. Also we may or may not have the official unveiling of Mr. Pastrami...

Life In The Military Jan 11, 2019

Show notes

Being in our armed forces is no easy task. In this episode we talk about two aspects that are particularly chilling, and that is the amount of sexual assaults amongst soldiers and their suicide rate. 22 veterans commit suicide everyday. 1 is too many. If you are a veteran in need please call The Veterans Crisis Line 800-273-8255 and press 1.

Bad Emotions 2 Dec 22, 2018

Show notes

We all get them, you'd be even crazier than you are now if you didn't get them. But not every negative emotion is always a bad one. Sometimes it's a defense mechanism, sometimes it's very much deserved, and other times you're just a dick.

Joining Amber and Ed this week is Nick Turner, The Queen of LPN Jackie Zebrowski, and my beautiful fiancé Miss Julie Rosing. Listen as they tackle such Bad Emotions as Insecurity, Cockiness, Being Judgmental, and Being Sensitive. Ok maybe they're more personality traits than emotions. What do you want from us?

Also we wrap up the show we talk about our good buddy Jason Saenz, who needs some help right now. Here is a link to his GoFundMe.

And in honor of our bud we're being taken out by Five Man Electrical Band - Signs

What’s up you bunch of Chilly Willy Penguins out there? It’s dreary, it’s freezing, it’s the holidays, and then after the holidays, we’re still broke and cold. What’s there to be happy about? Well let Amber and Ed tell you.

Cocaine Dec 07, 2018

Show notes

We all know that drugs are bad, and some are worse than others. We can go ahead and put cocaine on "The Naughty List." But being the Brighter Side we try and find some good in it. But there really isn't that much good about the old white lady.

If you or anyone you love is having a problem with drugs please call to get help. 1-888-633-3239.

Joining Amber and Ed this week is Mookie Thompson.

Taking us out this week is Powderfinger by Neil Young
