Not even trying to hide it anymore

Sorry about dr phil. Did y’all know?

Sunday October 20 no sound came or the podcast

You two are so refreshing! You just can’t find people in the media that are honest and not afraid to speak their truths. I love your compassion, your passion, and your respect for each other. I can feel your love for each other. God bless you both

I’ve been waiting for this ever since Chris’ departure! I’m SO happy to finally hear from him (and from Lauren too)! I am not surprised by anything said except perhaps the degree of angst. I had imagined that he (and Lauren) would have had the feelings that they expressed. I think it’s great that it has now come from their lips and we can go from here. Being raised in the south, I understood where he was coming from when he said the things he said. With the ensuing brouhaha, I gained a new awareness and perspective on why Rachel’s event was not a good thing. I miss Chris SO MUCH on Bachelor/Bachelorette and wish he were back, but we must move on. As far as I’m concerned, I’m just glad to have him back in our lives and I’m looking so forward to the podcasts! “Forgetting those things that lay behind…..”

I love this podcast! You guys are so great! Thank you for not being woke!! That is very refreshing and gives me hope! One thing I want to say is, don’t hate on the Golden Bachelorette! It may not be getting the best ratings, but it’s a shame that it’s not! Me and my family are watching it and loving it!!! Having the older men in the mansion is literally so much better than having the younger guys in it. They are so funny and way more endearing than the young guys. I love literally all of them. The bachelorette Joan is great too. Chris, I love the bachelor franchise because of you and I was so devastated when you were taken off of the show. It is what it is because of you and I hate to hear you criticizing it! I just wish you could see these great guys and lady! You would love them too!!

This podcast was disappointing. In our already divided political climate, it’s unnecessary for Chris & Lauren to create an episode on how they felt Trump was treated unfairly in the ABC debate. Everyone understands the biases in media today, the leaning of many celebrities, etc. Your listeners are all adults and can decide for themselves how they felt the debate was handled. Please be more creative in choosing topics to discuss.

This podcast is SO REFRESHING!!! For once, you have people that are not terrified of being canceled and can objectively speak on topics without skirting around the truth. Regardless of your political preferences and affiliations, one can certainly appreciate that Chris and Lauren give facts with class, honesty, and professionalism. I’m loving this Chris Harrison era! And Lauren Zima is the cherry on top! Keep up the great work.

It’s refreshing to hear someone talking about this. Thank you!! It’s way past time to hold journalist accountable and call out their biases.

I really love and appreciate Chris and Lauren for making this podcast! It’s refreshing to have a show where you can hear the thoughts of the hosts on current events/pop culture in a tasteful, fun and intelligent way. Thanks for sharing!!

I just listened to your interview with Alison Gibson and was brought to tears many times. Thank you for bringing her on your show, knowing she would be talking about her faith. Most high profile platforms choose to avoid this topic and I just want to thank you for intentionally bringing her on and having such an honest, beautiful discussion. I am so inspired by all of this!

I was excited to listen, and I felt Chris could have been dealt with unfairly so I was fully all in! I was just bored out of my mind. The podcast is slow, in the past, and just tired. I wish him the best but it’s not for me.

Why does he bring up the fence jump on every episode? And why does he think the world cares so much about washed up bachelor stars. I mean sometimes it is good hearing from them or what they are doing but Chris acts like the world is asking about these people and I just don’t think that is true at all. And LZ just makes this a celebrity gossip pod and I am just not sure that fits with what Chris is good at. She makes it annoying. He name drops celebrities he meets too much. I am done.

Lauren gives a lot of opinions on how parents should parent their children for not having kids herself…judging moms for checking baby monitors etc makes it painfully obvious she is not a mom herself. I remember when I was a first time mom, the stress I had being away from the baby was a lot to deal with. Checking the monitor was helpful to me. Stop judging and giving so many tone deaf opinions on parenting techniques…

Both episodes with Melissa were so good! Great idea to have her tell her tales of being on the Bachelor, DWTS, and DCC!

Just listened to both episodes with Melissa Rycroft! Loved them. Great episodes and discussions with Chris and Melissa. Very much enjoyed!

I tune in to hear Chris…she is way too much. Very annoying.

This podcast missed the mark. It’s fine you want to watch golf or do nothing but complaining about those dance recitals (which you might have 13 of in your life). Are the most those jmportant moments from kids perspective bonding that father relationship. Did you feel the same if it was a Tball/baseball game. Missed the mark on this one.

Whoever produces this thing…Pls know that most of us tune in for CHRIS not LZ! We’re forced to endure her as they co-host most of these shows. However I just tuned in and started my walk and guess what I got… It’s ALL LZ AND NO CHRIS??? Another solo ep with Lauren Zima?? This podcast says “Chris Harrison”, right?? Sorry that’s a HARD NO FOR ME. I IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED TO A DIFF PODCAST. It’s misleading to sell this as a Chris Harrison’s podcast, it’s not. Once in a while we get all Chris and it’s pretty good. Mostly we got both. Which is about 70% LZ. Now you’re giving us ALL LAUREN??? Not cool. I’ll be “unfollowing”. This isn't who/what I signed up for. Happy for Chris, but She gets on my last nerve. She’s surprisingly unaware of most things considering she was a reporter?? Anyway, no bueno. Perhaps u rename the podcast so listeners know what they’re getting??? Just a suggestion.

“So much to talk about” and yet it’s a 20 minute episode, the last 1/3 of which was essentially an ad for Dr. Drew’s business. Do better.

Love love love the Dr Drew episode! Great comments were said giving us lots of information.

Always liked Chris and started listening to his podcast from the beginning. I like about 75% of the topics. I don’t love Lauren and Chris episodes much. They both want to talk, she interrupts him too much. I think they both want to say too much and she should be more of a support role but she’s not, it gets annoying trying to listen to them interject what they want to say.

He openly admitted to a straight guy hoax while he was s*xually hooking up with married men, and you glorified this behavior in a two part episode? Geezus - what a disgrace.

I tuned in to hear what Chris Harrison has to say and honestly enjoyed his 2 episodes with Brad Womack. But certainly not tuning in to hear Liz Z talk. Don't care about her. This should be named, Liz Z podcast.

Thank you for such an incredible interview with Brad Womack! What a great man who deserves love! You give such great advice Chris Harrison!

Loved the two part series with Brad!

Little does Lauren know, he’s been sleeping with one of my friends.

My favorite episode was your last one on narcissism. It was so great and Lauren asked so many great questions. I wanted to keep going. Please more things like that. Maybe on attachment styles and how it relates to relationships etc. loved it

Chris and Laura always deliver a fun and interesting podcast. I love the topics and their take on entertainment and social events

I love Chris Harrison and miss him from the Bachelor franchise. So happy to have this podcast to keep up with him.

Loved the Katie episode!

Wonderful interview with Peter Weber! Great banter, communication, and got questions answered about how Pete has been!

Love this podcast & the natural chemistry with Chris & Lauren. Chris built the Bachelor franchise for over 20 years & ABC tossed him out when the water got rough. So glad they are returning to tv - i will definitely be tuning in!!

So with all the hype of your new jobs with Merit Media being such a big deal…BUT we’ll have to go back in time and resubscribe and pay for cable to get it? Seems off to me. Streaming is what we do now! I’m out. I wish you both well!

So glad to hear you will both be back on tv. I have also loved Dr. Phil over the years. Can’t wait to watch this new network!

Amazing and honest review! The Oscar’s can let the stars shine at home and get their speeches in the comfort of their own homes. They know we love them! The world loved Barbenhiemer! ⭐️ #emma🤍⭐️

I love this podcast! I love Chris & LZ! I’m beyond excited to see you back on my TV!! So many of us are rooting for you!!

Can you address saying you knew Clare was pregnant because she wasn’t drinking? She used a surrogate!

Chris and Lauren’s discussion about men thinking about the Roman Empire and Chris’s observation that it’s actually WWII that men think about was so true! I confirmed with my 65 year old father that he does indeed think about WWII at LEAST 5 times per week.

Wow! Carmel Reunion was time well spent. Thanks to everyone for sharing the fun, growth and joy! Ya.. the older shows were grounded in real life love and real life issues. Chris, your heart for humanity was on full display- and was appreciated by us, the viewers. Super disappointed on how you left the show, after all you’ve sacrificed for the network. They not only turned the page on something terrific, they closed the book when you left. The more you’ve shared, it is easy to see, it was all apart of the bigger plan. 🙏 You were a part of a Great Generation of good Peeps. Enjoy your rewards.. keep doing good things to help this generation. Can’t wait to see what’s coming from you and your Bride. God bless and keep you, LZ and your family in perfect peace.

“Expert advice for all grandparents ready to get back in the scene”? I’m 70 and not a grandparent or parent for that matter. Married briefly for two years then decided I didn’t need that. I’ve been through many short relationships over the years with the majority not lasting more than 2 years. In recent years I’ve decided romantic relationships are too much trouble and I only want friends to do things with… going places by myself isn’t much fun. When I turned 55 I moved away from my childhood home to be closer to, and help out, my aged parents. Now that they are passed and I’ve retired, I’ve discovered it’s tough to make friends so have several superficial friends I do specific activities with. Sounds a little bleak but I’m not totally uncomfortable with it so maybe some therapy would help.

Enlightening & joyful to listen to and share with our loved ones! Thank you 👏🏻

Good episode, but kids are not the only big conversation to have. Marriage is too! Maybe one person doesn’t want to get married…

I love Chris and Lauren and all the banter and all of the topics they typically cover, however, both of them tend to act like “no it alls” when it comes to a lot of topics - especially Chris. I thought the Ozempic episode was great because they got to ask the doctors all of the questions, and they truly seemed like they were just so curious about the drug. But on a lot of other episodes, they act like they have the answers to everything and they come off a little arrogant in my opinion. Would love more episodes with experts on with them asking the questions instead of acting like they have all the answers.

Love your podcast! But of course the award shows have gone down! As a reminder… MANY people stopped watching awards shows because they turned political. That crowd has no desire to return to watching award shows.

On the Golden Hour episode, you speculated as to why award shows do not have the viewership they used to. I think you missed it completely. I know for a fact that the reason viewership is so low for these award shows is because the every day person is sick and tired of hearing the political views of these Hollywood elites who are totally out of touch with people in flyover states. These shows should never be used as platforms for the political views of these out of touch people so people are not watching anymore.

Overall love the podcast, but the interview with Dr Amy was disappointing. Please don’t promote disordered eating. Everyone should fast for 24 hours? Yikes. Next time please interview a dietitian to have an evidenced based discussion about nutrition!

Love Lauren and Chris is fine - longtime Bachelor fan. But guys - it’s evident this pod is for ad revenue only. Vial Files talked for 45 minutes yesterday without an ad. I can’t get through 10-12 minutes here without ads. What y’all are doing here is transparent. Focus on content, the listeners will come, the ad revenue will follow. I want to be here, but I get frustrated each time I try again.

It’s been so interesting to hear your stories and history together and then your beautiful wedding ! I’ve listened since day 1

I get the pod has to be profitable but the ratio of guest content and commercials throughout this show is the reason I hardly ever come back or stick with a whole episode. It’s really too bad.
