Good morning. I had been scheduled to host the show today and the topics that we were going to discuss were what you would expect in any H3 podcast.

Talk about some news, make some jokes, maybe poorly, but unfortunately that's no longer the case.

Today, well before any video was released,

we were gonna do this show this way.

I'll get to why Ethan's not here in just a minute.

But it was planned from a week ago,

not from yesterday. I just want to make that perfectly clear.

Okay? And I want to say something off the top that none of this needed to happen.

None of it. It didn't have to be this way. We didn't choose this this. It was chosen for us. In fact, as I'll tell you in just a few minutes,

we went to great lengths to give people the ability to do the right thing.

To honor their agreements and to do what they said they were going to do.

Unfortunately, they chose a different path.

For the last three years, everything you've seen in the public eye has been part of a well orchestrated plan.

What was that plan? To assimilate damaging PR assets and wage a

negative publicity campaign against Ethan. I'll show you the quotes. I'll show you the texts. I'll show you the quotes I'll show you the texts I'll show you everything all of it all of the

stuff that we did not talk about because we were giving people the opportunity to do the right thing.

Taking the hits, dealing with all of it, to give people the opportunity to do the right thing that chose not to.

I wonder why CAM decided to quit last week.

Just for some backstory, there's been no communication with Cameron in several years.

I have not spoken to Cameron outside of the context of being live on the air since 2021.

Yeah. So there was no impetus for it.

And the document compelling him to give a deposition now is about to expire.
