Fun discussion today with YouTube sisters and fans of the show, Whit and Ry. I’m sure a lot of you have seen their YouTube videos in the past covering the show and recapping episodes, even may have seen me on their show in the past. Well today is the first time they’ve ever been on the podcast (I will be going on theirs again next week). For the first 20 minutes I dive more into the Chris Harrison departure and give my thoughts regarding it as I’ve had more time to think about everything and read some of the response on social media. There are plenty of angles to this, but keep in mind, the biggest thing right now is by Chris allegedly agreeing to a mid 8 figure pay out, we’re never going to hear his side on this ever. That was hush money. So anyone expecting Chris to one day talk about everything that went down, assuming that pay out happened, we’re never gonna hear it. So it’s all just speculation and innuendo at this point when it comes to the how/why of the situation. I don’t watch the show for the host. Never have and never will. With that said, it still surprised me he’s never returning. I thought his punishment of missing Katie’s season, BIP, then Michelle’s season was sufficient and he’d be back for the next “Bachelor” season. I’m not gonna lose my shit that he isn’t. Life goes on and this show goes on. While his name was synonymous with the show, you didn’t watch BECAUSE of him, since he had such a small on-air role. But I dive into that and few other things at the top of the podcast before Whit and Ry join in. Enjoy…

Just a reminder to everyone going to the fan appreciation party…No one can force you to disclose your medical records without showing they have a full HIPAA compliance policy in effect.

How long do you think Jenna suffered after you posted false information about her? It might be important to remind yourself of this prior to whining about how long you are going to have to endure people asking about your past posts, the call to Demi Burnett, etc.

Tryingtobekind… and no one has to allow your entry into a private party? See how that works?
Thanks Steve for all you do! You rock!
