**The Brighter Side**

Welcome to The Brighter Side! A weekly podcast that aims to be a positive light in the horror show we call Earth. A cynic’s look at optimism, if you will. Try it! Partner broke up with you? More time for [INSERT FUN HOBBY YOU’VE BEEN DYING TO TRY]! Think less toxic positivity and more: if we don’t laugh, we spiral. We promise—everything is gonna be alright. Hosted by Ed Larson, Amber Nelson, Ashley Brooke Roberts, and Julie Rosing. Theme song by The Cowmen. Logo by Dave Koehler

Gamers Feb 18, 2016

Show notes

Video games are very popular but the people who play them are not. But now they all get together and talk shit to each other online, from the comfort of their own homes.

We sit down and talk to some of our friends about why gaming is so important to them. Then Amber and Ed try and understand what any of it means.

Joining The Brighter Side crew is Mike Drucker, Dominic Mauro, Holden McNeely, and Harri.

Oh man here's a weird tunnel, let's walk down that sounds good. What's that in my mouth? Did a tooth just fall out? Oh no. I think more are falling out? What the hell! My teeth! What's that shadow? Why is it coming closer? Go away mom. I'm gonna graduate! Stop it. Get me outta here King Arthur! Chop my head off I don't care, whatever it takes. My mother's the devil devil devil devil devil.

Today on the Brighter Side we're talking about Nightmares with Rodney Ascher (Director of "The Nightmare") and comedians Jake Flores and Kyle Ayers. As always we take the cynic's view of optimism and try to the Brighter Side of some scary dreams.
