Heartwarming / The Last Podcast on the Left

Go To

  • In "Episode 19: Ghost Bustin'", the boys go hunting for ghosts with Natalie Jean. Henry talks about how beautiful she is, but he also describes her as way out of his league. That was in 2011. By 2018, the two got married.
    • Part 3 of the Jonestown series opens with Ben and Marcus enthusiastically congratulating Henry on his engagement. You can clearly hear the pride in their voices as they applaud Henry, who is also very clearly over the moon.
    • How Henry proposed to Natalie is also incredibly adorable. He tied the ring to a little ribbon and attached it to their dog Wendy, so when Natalie called Wendy over and saw the ring, Henry popped the question. Awwww!
  • In "Episode 96: Call 911!", Marcus caps off a particularly grim 911 call and the episode itself by playing "Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog(and featuring Debbie Harry). This event upgrades itself to a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming towards the end of the song when all three hosts sing along with Kermit.
  • The Round Table of Gentlemen's "Roast of Marcus Parks". Even when Henry, Ben, and the other comedians are calling Marcus a "bad-toothed psychopath", the obvious respect and affection the group has for each other is very sweet. Toward the end, Marcus audibly chokes up thanking everyone for sticking with him throughout the years.
    Marcus: It's very rare that a man gets to work with his best fuckin' friends every single day. I've done and I've heard a million things I never thought I would, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that you people saved my life.
  • From Episode 311:
    Marcus: I don't have any more fun than I do with the two of you.
    Henry: If we were trapped on an island together, it would take me two years to murder one of you, and that's a lot.
  • At the end of the "Bonnie & Clyde" series, Marcus takes a thirty-second of profanity-free time to thank his twelve year old niece, who helped him in researching some of the Parks family history that actually tied into the Bonnie & Clyde saga, specifically that an ancestor of theirs was killed by the Texas Ranger that eventually brought down Bonnie & Clyde. Marcus also notes he wanted this section profanity free because it would be the only section of the show his niece's father would let her hear, since the rest of the show is, by no means, for children.
  • The second Hadden Clark episode was the first to come out after Marcus got married. At one point, when the other boys tell him a theory he expressed is interesting, Marcus says, "Actually, it's not my theory...it is my WIFE'S theory!" The sheer excitement and pride in his voice is just adorable.
    • In general, whenever Marcus and Henry talk about their wives, their sheer joy is wonderful.

  • In episode 178: Columbine, Henry takes a moment to acknowledge the podcast’s younger listeners.
Henry: If you can just get past your fuckin’ dark days, it just gets better. It gets better.
  • Towards the end of the final episode on Mormonism, Marcus takes a moment to reassure any members of the faith who might feel guilt about the less than honorable parts of their religion.
    Marcus: If you're perfectly happy as a Latter Day Saint, then by all means, stay. But, if you're someone who's listened to this entire series with guilt because you have questions about your faith, and particularly the history behind your faith, we want you to know that there's absolutely no reason for that guilt. If you want to leave, then leave. And if your family doesn't accept it or accept you for whatever reason, remember, as we always say, friends are the family you choose. And remember that there are people out there who are willing and able to help you overcome your fears.
  • The first episode on the Black Death has a moment mixed with Funny, where Henry makes a quip about Marcus telling the bizarre story about how fleas spread the plague on a date, and Marcus immediately responds with "I married the one who said 'Tell me more.'", clearly referring to his wife Carolina. Ben and Henry can't help but "aww" in response to the sweetness.
  • In a moment that's both hilarious and heartwarming, in Episode 470: Karla Homolka & Paul Bernardo Part I, Ben chooses an...unflattering voice to do an impression of Natalie, Henry's wife. Henry does not take it kindly.
    Henry: Don't you fucking-Why are you giving my beautiful model wife the voice of a bent over crone woman that looks for roadkill?!
    (Marcus collapses into uncontrollable laughter)
    Henry: She is a model!
  • Marcus posting a beautiful photo of him and Carolina on their wedding day to celebrate their two year anniversary.
  • When discussing the source materials for the episode on Juana Barraza, Marcus takes a moment to sweetly thank Carolina for translating one of the Spanish books they used as reference. While Ben and Henry lightheartedly tease him for shilling for his wife, Marcus just laughs it off and takes it all in stride.
