In the intro trailer for the podcast, Chris is overheard telling fiancee, Lauren Zima, about his nerves.

“I have not spoken publicly for two years about this, and I have a lot of thoughts,” he says. “I think about this every day. Truly, every day of my life, I think about this and what I want to say, and how important it is that I speak to everyone for the first time.”

Chris continues, “It’s heavy. It’s really heavy. We’ll see how it goes. We may scrap this whole thing to be honest, I don’t know. But I think it will be cathartic. I’m looking forward to getting this off my shoulders, and repairing this, moving forward and letting everybody hear from me.”

He then opens the show with an introduction, telling listeners, “I think it’s time we talk.”

Chris‘ exit came after he chose not to denounce allegations of racism against a contestant during Matt James‘ season. He only just recently returned to social media at all.
