Welcome back happy hour listeners. I'm ready to be here for another week with you again.

And I'm flying solo today. Unfortunately, Michelle is not going to be by my side this

week because I'm sure by now most of you have all read or heard the news that unfortunately

Michelle and Nate have decided to end their relationship. So she's going to be taking

a little bit of a breather taking some time away just to process all of this because

I'm sure it's a lot right now. And so we here on bachelor happy hour and I hope all

of you listeners can just extend so much support and love to her and to Nate too. They can

only imagine are going through such a rough time and she just needs a little time to breathe

and just take it day by day. So whenever Michelle is ready to come back, I will be here

for her. And if she is ready to share how she's been with you all, then she will of course

her and Nate so much love, so much support and well wishes during this time to get through

heart goes out for you right now. And with all of that being said, we still have a fun

episode for you coming today later in the episode we are talking to two very fun cool women

are Rishia Skidmore Williams and Brooke Sifrin. They are pop culture experts host of a very

popular podcast called The Rich and Daily and even The Rich and as a cherry on top, they

are also huge bachelor fans. So it'll be a fun episode with the two of them. But in the

meantime, I have called in reinforcements to back me up today. And I'm excited to have

Thomas join happy hour once again for a little bit just to catch everyone up on life and

what we've had going on. So please welcome Thomas once again.

Thomas, welcome back to happy hour. I told everyone that you are my reinforcement for
