    Ep. 50: Bryant is Back! A Butler Tells All, Part 2!

    Bryant is back for another tea spill session, taking a walk down memory lane with Holly and Bridget.

We get into why the pantry scenes were cut down, the prank calls the mansion would get and the weirdest requests from girlfriends. Bryant tells us about a midnight visit from Pamela Anderson, which celebrity fell down the stairs, which one got scared by a rat and a Donald Trump bathing suit story.

You guys are great. Wonderful job. Please consider reaching out to Ms. Frankel to get some more attention on that horrible situation that Hef, the executive producer Kevin, and the E! network colluded in. I’ll say that i’m not BF’s biggest fan but I do believe that you deserve compensation and light shown on that situation. It doesn’t matter that Kevin & Hef are deceased, or even that Playboy isn’t the same company anymore. I really believe the network (which is still a huge entity!) bears a TON of responsibility here. I get that you both have moved on but it’s important for people to see & know what has been done to you by them. I actually believe your story is the worst I have heard so far with all this attention on reality tv abuses, and more people need to be aware of your story. Sure Hef is responsible & guilty —but so is the network and the big companies/sponsors/execs that let it happen—and played along. Please consider this seriously, it’s really wrong and you guys should stand up.

Speed

Love this podcast! For some reason, my speed always switches to 1.75x on this podcast, so it sounds so fast at first. Just a post to tell everyone you can switch the speed if you think they are talking fast. They really aren’t😊
