So, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. You daily dive into the news.

It is Thursday, December 19th. There is a lot to talk about. But first, before we jump into that,

I got a big, important announcement. This video that you are watching right now is the last

full Philip DeFranco show of the year. And in fact, until January 6th. On Monday, January 6th,

the Philip DeFranco show will return in all its glory, but if something

big enough happens from now until then, it's not unthinkable that I would post a video.

You have a thousand contestants, $5 million cash prize.

50 world records were reportedly broken, and it had a total budget of over $100 million.

And so you have this thing that's been billed as the biggest game show in history. There's been so much hype, but also there's been criticism, especially amid reports that contestants were getting injured or they didn't have access to basic necessities. With that, then even later turning into a lawsuit,

and in the weeks leading up to the show is released,

that's also been why we've seen Mr. Beech trying to quell concerns.

With them among other things, writing,

we have tons of behind the scenes dropping when the show comes out
