| 0:00.0 | Sup ya beautiful bastards. Hope you have a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. Buckle up. Hit that like button. Otherwise, I will punch you in the throat. And let's just jump into it. And the first thing that we're going to talk about today is a story involving America's sweetheart. Everybody loves her. Ellen DeGeneres. So a quick refresher if you haven't seen my previous coverage. Over the past summer, several reports have come out detailing a very toxic work environment, harassment, |
| 0:23.6 | and much more at the Ellen DeGeneres Show. |
| 0:25.6 | WarnerMedia opens an investigation into it, and among the issues that happened on set, |

| 1:02.1 | accused of sexual harassment were fired back in August. Also around the same time, employees |
| 1:05.8 | received extra perks, including increased PTO days, birthdays off, paid time for doctor's |
| 1:10.4 | appointments and family matters. |
| 1:11.6 | But there was still this question of will Ellen actually come back to the show after this whole scandal? |
| 1:15.6 | You had people for a while saying she should be replaced, give the time slot in the show to this person, that person. |
| 1:21.6 | But what we ended up seeing is yesterday Ellen returned to her show for its 18th season. |
