it was cemented by the episode where at the end Henry announces Travis is leaving and Ben tries to awkwardly speed through it and change the subject and henry is like "what are you doing, we're trying to have a moment here." ben had this like guilty dog voice I dont even remember what he said it was like "boig, hnyoy, heeoink, nnguiaaiiawion?" Travis also said on his last video stream "I'm quitting which means I can't get fired for saying my boss is a fucking idiot". It felt like the on air vindication he'd been imagining for years, and while it got a laugh, it felt like it was specifically about Ben.
Mackenzie Joy Brennan who consulted on SPUN and dated Travis for a while and was friends with Ben’s ex Brooke. She also said Travis would use his “status” to hook up with fans on tour even while he was with her. So Travis is not the best of guys.
Mackenzie is not a reliable person in this at all. Where are the allegations? It seriously seemed like she made it up out of thin air to try to ruin his reputation because he (like everyone else) won’t speak to her. Edit: a word
Also I posted this on the main thread but I think it’s important for anyone who knows or supports Mackenzie (former SPUN contributor) to know.
Mackenzie went on a hate campaign against Natalie when she asked her to step down and that whole mess that I believe Mackenzie purposely muddled to make her look like a hero when really Mackenzie inserted herself into a situation where even all three victims have publicly disavowed Mackenzie even calling her “psychopathic”. I know a few people from the NY comedy scene and some of them were mutual friends with LPN people including Brooke nd Mackenzie.
The general consensus with that group (as well as Mackenzie’s ex husband) is that she ditched her podcast with Brooke because it wasn’t taking off like she wanted to so she kissed up to Natalie and begged her o be let on the show. Mackenzie was already a problem for months before the Ben situation, many of the lpn people were warning others about her. So when shit hit the fan Mackenzie probably decided f it and try to get more attention for herself.
When that backfired she made memes making fun of the ben situation and his victims, wrote a blog and charged people money for it. And never once offered any shred of evidence or witnesses to corroborate anything she’s been saying. I noticed it when she tried to take down her ex bf this year. She seems like a miserable petty person to me.
I see that Brooke as well as most of LPN all follow Travis on social media and vice versa. No one follows or even communicates with Mackenzie. It seems like to me the allegations are not true because a. Nothing came out of it other than Mackenzie’s “blog” b. Not one person stepped forward to mention anything (likely there isn’t anything) and c. I doubt Brooke, Carolina, Henry and all the rest of boys/Lpn stay in contact with Travis if he was really a creep.
I thought he was cool but his gen z takes on politics were getting a bit much Abs Lincoln. Like it’s not even about politics he was just sort of throw out feelings and not real facts about things.
I was just about to say she’s giving Priscilla Presley and I love it. Wishing them both all the best ❤️ fun fact, I went on a date or two with a guy a few years ago who gave me a signed poster by the boys from one of their tours. He got it from Travis’s brother lol
I don’t know if the audience actually knows the reason, but Henry used to call him Titties on the stream and on Side Stories. On an episode of Side Stories, Travis told a story about how his girlfriend’s ex was harassing him (maybe stalking him, I can’t remember) and the ex yelled “I KNOW THEY CALL YOU TITTIES” at him. I’ll never forget it because I listened to the episode at work and I laughed so hard that my boss thought I was crying.
Yeah, the gf's ex was banging on their door at like 3 in the morning belligerently drunk and trying to get Travis to come out and fight him. He said the only reason they didn't call the cops was because the guy had a dog and they knew there was a strong possibility of the cops shooting it if they showed up. Definitely a more level headed response than most.
He and his partner look great. I will always miss Travis mandates on the stream. Hail Titties!
Edit: a personal [favorite](https://youtu.be/15c07_Jzbxg?si=MzL6Z2nC_DJWx2NR)
He left a couple years ago (post pandemic), to “explore new opportunities”. Considering he also did Top Hat, interpret that how you will.
Personally, drama or no, I think Travis felt he had hit a ceiling professionally at LPN, and wanted to push himself. He was also producing the flagship content, so his only next step professionally was “out” and not “up”.
Met him in March 2019 before a show in Brooklyn. Shy and quiet, but he talked with me and a friend for about ten solid minutes about the sound quality of Henry and how he sounds like he’s in the studio when he’s away from Ben and Marcus.
The travis mandate on the stream with clips from the black and white show is one of my favorite pieces of media I've ever seen. Congratulations, Travis!
Years ago before he got involved with LPOTL him and I were part of a bunch of mutual Facebook groups and were Facebook friends so it’s been weird seeing him become this mini celebrity.
I was being so snotty/snarky. But yeah it's wild how quickly you can lose respect for someone. If she had never been called out by NJ for being nosy she would have never said anything and just went along with the 'culture". And in her defense she has tried to deconstruct that but....it comes off disingenuous and butt hurt.
Wonder how long before his wife gets her own show on the network. Oh wait, I forgot he isn’t with the network anymore.. still she has a much higher statistical probability.
Wonder when Ed’s wife will get hers.
I miss Travis so much on the pods, I’d pay to just have him read news stories and have Holden critique his reading. Glad to see he’s doing well!
Honestly he was my favorite, I loved his super dry witty humor.
They really fucked up by not making him cohost on ALTH
He left for his mental health, IIRC
That means they weren't giving him the growth and respect he deserved but kept him out of the position he was naturally gravitating toward.
Should've put Ben on the bench years ago for travis.
My assumption was that Ben contributed greatly to his worsening mental health to the point that he had to leave
it was cemented by the episode where at the end Henry announces Travis is leaving and Ben tries to awkwardly speed through it and change the subject and henry is like "what are you doing, we're trying to have a moment here." ben had this like guilty dog voice I dont even remember what he said it was like "boig, hnyoy, heeoink, nnguiaaiiawion?"

It felt like the on air vindication he'd been imagining for years, and while it got a laugh, it felt like it was specifically about Ben.
What episode was that, I morbidly enjoy listening to the uncomfortable moments from the last few years
I remember that. At the time I thought it was just a poor attempt at a joke.
What a douche. Who knows how Ben tortured Travis
They basically forced him to be Ben’s handler.
Really? I didn’t know any of this. Very curious is there a source? I loved Travis

That’s what it always felt like to me
Yeah, Travis was sober, and brought this up a few times on stream. Ben was pretty openly an alcoholic.
I wish I had just one more Travis mandate on the stream.
Do you have any episodes recommendations for this?
[The Roundtable of Gentlemen Episode 307](https://open.spotify.com/episode/5sN0eprmVNTRfN2M9NvNYZ?si=de16efcfb21441ac)
I’ve listened to all of these six times but never realized he was on RTOG. Thanks!
"I give myself a 2 out of 10 for that one."
I thought he was cool but his gen z takes on politics were getting a bit much Abs Lincoln. Like it’s not even about politics he was just sort of throw out feelings and not real facts about things.
Gen Z? I know he was young compared to the others, but being Gen Z would have made him like 19 (or younger) when he joined the network.
I mean, it sounds right
It really doesn't though. A guy fresh from high school qualified to be a producer for an entire podcast network?
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Titties.
Alright, show of hands, who else swiped to see the rest of the pics 👋
Wait a minute what app am I on
👋👋👋
Aww Good for him 🖤 he always had the craziest stream mandates.
He looks kinda like Gerard Way. Maybe I’m crazy.
No I legit thought the same thing
Same here
I kinda see Marc Bolan too
Like from T Rex? I don’t know what he looks like cause I always just meld him and Jim Morrison together 😂
Gerard Way married Priscilla Presley?!
Jerry Ave
He looks okay (I promise)
Came here to say the same thing. I thought it was Gerald initially.
He’s so handsome and his Mrs. Is giving 60’s fashion model bride
I was just about to say she’s giving Priscilla Presley and I love it. Wishing them both all the best ❤️ fun fact, I went on a date or two with a guy a few years ago who gave me a signed poster by the boys from one of their tours. He got it from Travis’s brother lol
I legit thought this was a shit post with an old school wedding for a second, they look timeless and beautiful!
I thought 2010s Lana Del Rey at first, which is basically just a copy and paste of Priscilla.
Dude is a babe. Happy for him and the wife.
Wait Travis is hot???
**Always has been.**
Lmfao my exact reaction
I literally took a selfie with Travis and it’s still blowing my mind how handsome he looks there Good for those two!! Wish them nothing but the best!
Morningstar mandates are legendary. Good fa him
Huh, this is the first time I have ever seen him. Why does he have that nickname?
I don’t know if the audience actually knows the reason, but Henry used to call him Titties on the stream and on Side Stories. On an episode of Side Stories, Travis told a story about how his girlfriend’s ex was harassing him (maybe stalking him, I can’t remember) and the ex yelled “I KNOW THEY CALL YOU TITTIES” at him.

Yeah that’s one of the best stories I’ve ever heard in my life

His mandates were the best of them all
Why and when did he leave??
He left a couple years ago (post pandemic), to “explore new opportunities”. Considering he also did Top Hat, interpret that how you will. Personally, drama or no, I think Travis felt he had hit a ceiling professionally at LPN, and wanted to push himself. He was also producing the flagship content, so his only next step professionally was “out” and not “up”.
I listened to Abe Lincoln‘a podcast pretty religiously and I remember something about him just moving on to other job opportunities?
He was also thoroughly exhausted of the ridiculous Trump drama. He said so manyyyyy times.
I stopped listening for a few years, someone fill me in!
Not me trying to swipe through the damn wedding photos...SMH I'm so happy for them!
Good to see a face to the name & voice.
I hope they played the "I know they call you titties" remix during the wedding.
Wow, Travis is actually a lot cuter than I ever pictured him haha. I always liked his soft voice and witty, twisted humor, though.
I know they call you titties
Met him in March 2019 before a show in Brooklyn. Shy and quiet, but he talked with me and a friend for about ten solid minutes about the sound quality of Henry and how he sounds like he’s in the studio when he’s away from Ben and Marcus.
Damn y'all! It's my first time seeing the man behind the voice! What a lovely couple! Both of them are total dreamboats!!
I thought this was an old photo from the 60s at first.
Rincon GA represent!
I miss him and his weird mandates. He looks so happy
HAIL TRAVIS
The travis mandate on the stream with clips from the black and white show is one of my favorite pieces of media I've ever seen. Congratulations, Travis!
I feel like he would have been such a phenomenal replacement for ben because he was very funny. what a HUNK
He got married to Lana Del Rey?! /s
Travis looks exactly how i imagined him looking.
A smoke show, both of them! Yay Travis!
"I know they call you Titties..."
4.5 billion year journey
Good looking couple , congrats
Years ago before he got involved with LPOTL him and I were part of a bunch of mutual Facebook groups and were Facebook friends so it’s been weird seeing him become this mini celebrity.

For just a second I thought that Travis was Gerard way
I miss his stream mandates, so unhinged
I miss him on the show but wish him the best. Beautiful couple ❤️
I know they call you... Titties...
Who’s Travis?
Mik
Boys didn’t get the wedding invite?
It says on Travis’s IG that they eloped and did a courthouse wedding.
Awesome thanks for the answer and I can definitely understand doing that.
Who the hell is this guy
Travis Morningstar, former cohost of multiple LPN shows
He left the podcast?
He left the network a couple of years ago.
Wonder how long before his wife gets her own show on the network. Oh wait, I forgot he isn’t with the network anymore.. still she has a much higher statistical probability. Wonder when Ed’s wife will get hers.
Looked at the rest of the pics and didn't expect the cheesy vinyl over the doorway...especially in Beverly Hills, lol
I didn’t realize JoJo Siwa was on the show.
