Hi, welcome to
and the OTH board.
I agree it was a different show after LP left. It wasn't the same for me, either.
As far as we know, Chad left because he wanted to move on (although with recent developments I have doubts). Hilarie left due to constant sexual harassment and assault by Mark Schwahn (just typing his full name makes me shudder).
Not sure about Bryan. I believe he was busy with other projects at the time.
Leyton, always
Looking forward to talking to you, too.
