All right, so I wanted to start this podcast off by addressing some things that were brought

to my attention and to back as attention and pretty much to the whole that's our happy

hour family about a recent podcast we did.

Now I know that when you have a public platform, you're going to say some things and do some

things that aren't always well received by everybody.

I know also that not everyone's going to agree with everything you say or do.

And I know also that you can't live your life by trying to please every single person

or try to appease them when they have an issue with you.

It's just life.

And I know sometimes that I do things or beckodess things or whatever that may upset you.

But one thing that we never want to do is offend you.

And when we do bachelor happy hour, every time we start our podcast, we end our podcast

or maybe somewhere in between, we are always telling you guys to reach out to us to

like what we do to comment, to talk to us.

Let's create this open community.

And that shouldn't change if we do something that you guys don't approve of.

This is when you are supposed to reach out to us and say something.

And this is when we're supposed to listen.

And the response that we received in doing this podcast with Claudia, it was overwhelming.

And I think that there are a lot of things that have been thrown around and a lot of assumptions

that have been made.

And I think that the best place to clear everything up is to take it where you heard it from.
