(sighs) - So I know that there's been murmurings and rumors about this. And so I kinda just wanted to address this before it got any bigger. Yes, it is true. Despite me staying the contrary for two years now, the Philip DeFranco show was actually shot on a green screen. And this is the. (drum roll) This is the real background. (shocked gasps) (applauding) Just feels good to get that off my chest. I just hope you guys can forgive me. But with that said, oh, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco Show. Hey, maybe hit that like button, help support the show, get some more common sense news coverage out to the people of the YouTubes. And while you emotionally recover from this grand reveal, let's just jump into it. You know, the first thing that we're going to talk about today, was one of the most requested stories, involves the Gabby Petito situation. Her disappearance, presumed murder.
