Speaker 1: The Mormon.
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, welcome back to Challenge the podcast all about
the Challenge.
Speaker 3: Sorry, just flew everybody.
Speaker 1: Necessary car one hundred and thirty three percent energy from Carling.
Speaker 4: As usual, Tim is podcasting from his bedroom.
Speaker 1: Hey thin sweetee Hey everybody.
Speaker 4: Uh, for some reason, sitting in a bikini. So if
you're not part of the live chat, you're missing at all.
Speaker 3: You really are.
Speaker 1: Carl and san Diego, look at that cleavage, look at
that something else, something else.
Speaker 5: If it work, work work it, and it works. Zachi
Bananas and I don't have my camera so you can't
see this, but I also am in a bikini right now.
Speaker 1: Zach did go topless for the last live show that
we all did together.
Speaker 3: By the way, this is true, he did. Maybe we
can get him to go tapless again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, statement of fact.
Speaker 5: I've said if we do a live finale again, I've
already gone topless, so I gotta I got one up it.
So who knows what's happening next time?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: And we have our Public League winner from last season
whose wife is never gonna let him podcast with us again.
It's weird being very bad influences. So it's whatever stove
or if he wants to share his real name so
protect his identity. Thank you, Christy used that to find
his bank account.
Speaker 1: And sorry, sorry, I was just gonna say Steve is
my favorite listener because he's the one that actually listens
to all the bullshits that I make based on all
the bullshit stuff that happens on this podcast. So thank
you to You're why I composed the music I do.
Speaker 6: I had to delete all of them from the last
season on my phone because I never did that.
Speaker 1: You just have one. Just rock out to the playlist.
Speaker 6: I had all these unnamed audio files.
Speaker 3: I did have to go. I actually got into the
discord for the first time literal months, just the other
day and started listening to all the songs. The actually
some bangers in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I'm really good at what I do.
Speaker 6: I do appreciate that YouTube requests.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course they take like five minutes per song,
so that's a request, No big deal.
Speaker 4: Hey, everybody head over to challenge pod dot com, joined
the Facebook group and the Instagram and you can also
join our Patreon, which well, I don't know, I guess
we'll get into later. This is a weird episode. There's
no structure or format. Cats and dogs living together, someone's
doorbell going on.
Speaker 5: That's what he means to say. And I texted this
to the group earlier. This was one of the top
five best episodes in the last three seasons.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, Zach, I agree.
Speaker 3: I really, I really enjoyed this episode as well. It
was a lot of fun to see. I actually took
notes on this episode, even though we didn't need to,
because I am ridiculous. I realized this. I actually really
liked this episode.
Speaker 4: This was the most pointless episode I've watched the challenge, Steve.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 6: I have opinions about it, but overall, I enjoyed it
and I'm happy we have it. But I think something
should have been done differently with it.
Speaker 3: So, Steve, you do realize that you are on a
podcast that all we do is talk about our opinions.
Telling us that you have opinions doesn't help. You need
to actually say the opinion so that people can get
mad at you instead of getting mad at me.
Speaker 6: I don't know. I didn't like the moving pictures, but
I liked a lot of everything else.
Speaker 3: I didn't actually find the picture I kind of I
loved the little like you see the picture in the
little vignette of what that picture was from. And I
thought it was very cute that they did a real
quick like hey DM, and they of course showed the
Johnny Bananas backpack, and I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: The only thing disappoint me is I thought first those
were legit like moving pictures that like the frames that
like had videos in them, And then I realized, oh no,
they're just like putting the video over top of the picture.
Speaker 3: They're just they're just shitty strange shots of those videos.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Now, how do we feel though, and this might I
don't want to disrespect anybody's memory, but how do we
feel about DM being such a focus and none of
the other dead Challengers ever even mentioned like shouldn't they
also I was gonna say that beyond that, like shouldn't
they also have a framed picture or something?
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I feel like because CT is so
sent troll when he's on is usually when they talk
about it's not on, so we don't get to talk
about night.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That and DIM was it was her cancer struggle and
we saw a lot of that on the show, like
we saw her in her final days, like we saw
her after she had her first round, like she'd gone
through chemo and had short hair, like, we saw a
lot of that of her progressing through the stages of
that disease. And I'm sure we also saw you know,
Night dealing with his and I think it it hit
people a lot more different. But it is a little
strange that she's on maybe one that they ever talked about.
Speaker 4: Goose Force bluntly put points out Night was also kind
of a dick.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I was as beloved by the audience or
even the house as much.
Speaker 4: He punched frank in the face that one time, which
I did.
Speaker 1: It was not not the highlight of any READI you
never Yeah, I know, it makes sense. The dem is
more featured. It just feels a little like disrespectful to
the other people that have died that it's like, oh,
she's this person and we look at her so fondly,
and the others are just sort of like you can
have put like a I don't even I don't even
know what they would have done to pay tribute.
Speaker 5: But who else we lost? The said to Night. I
know we lost Frankie from San Diego, but she never
did challenge him.
Speaker 1: The one dude. Uh. I want to say his name
is Derek, but I think I don't think that's right.
But he was he was a gay guy on Derek
Actually on Derek's season of road Wolves. He died. I
can't remember his name.
Speaker 5: Huh Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a handful, but honestly, the only
ones that I remember are Demon Knight.
Speaker 1: Yeah when Dave Miera, the host he died.
Speaker 3: Yeah, true, Yeah, all right, Well none of them are
on this season.
Speaker 1: So you didn't like the moving pictures of Steve, but
that was your biggest that was your biggest issue.
Speaker 6: Love it? And then also what is it Davon and Devin.
I wish they did more because I saw them. I
love them both. I liked that they were there, but
they didn't really do anything.
Speaker 1: And they're not going to be back probably through the season.
Speaker 6: They were just hosts for the launch special, but they
kind of just stood next to TJ, asked one question
each and that was it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of didn't like them. That was the
only part of the episode that I wasn't super thrilled on.
Speaker 5: So I've always thought, like Devon's fine, Like I feel
like there could be better options. I feel like she's
earned her spot to be like the voice of the
Challenge on the podcast and stuff. Yeah, I love Davon,
I just don't feel like Davon has done enough with
the show to earn this spot, though I agree.
Speaker 6: Didn't Devin also host the after show on on the
website for a number of years.
Speaker 5: She did.
Speaker 3: I feel like she's she's done a lot, She's hosted
the podcast, the app show. She's she's done a lot
with the contestants and with the show itself. But yeah,
I kind of I agreed, Like I look at Davon
still as a big brother, right, yeah, brother will always
be a big brother play she will always be not
of the Challenge to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked her, Wolfy, What did you not like
about the episode?
Speaker 4: Uh? Well, you two went to Challenge Mania and you're like,
they told usuries told us this is a must watch.
They're gonna explain a lot about the season. You have
to watch it or you're gonna miss out. And I
watched it and they didn't explain shit, No they didn't.
Speaker 6: So you mean to tell me. The post of the podcast,
who's also on the show, said you have to watch
the episode that in no way.
Speaker 4: I think Tim was distracted by her cleavage.
Speaker 1: I was too. If Nurie says something in that shirt,
you just do the thing she says, it's truth, you
know it just okay?
Speaker 5: Yes, maybe this was musty because you know, like I
guess potential spoiler alert for later in this episode, But
we saw Amanda and Kara, who have always butted heads
making up. What if they run this season? What if
they like dominate together? And You're like, what the heck?
They hate each other? Why are they working together now?
You know, you know, you know better?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw them making up, and I had a
few thoughts around that point in time. Saw them making up,
but immediately thought, how long is this gonna last? Just
before that, we had Cara and Laurel talking and like
kind of trying to make I That is the one
thing that I truly did not appreciate was Brad sitting
there and saying that this is only happening because caraa
has a victim mentality. And I don't care. I am
a car apologist. I love the woman. I do not
think that this is entirely because she is a victim mentality.
She has the times, but this is I think Polly
hit the nail on the head. She is the little
sister looking for the big sister's approval, and the big
sister keeps beating in the fuck up and being an asshole,
keeps going back.
Speaker 1: We still talking about Amanda, were talking about Laurel.
Speaker 5: No, Laurel, Laurel okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then of course they show us the preview
for the for the coming season and their Laurel is
screaming in Kara's face and Clara is crying.
Speaker 1: Because it's funny because they during the season they would
flash back to like other fights and stuff to show
the growth of the challengers. But what we learned is
that they have not grown these two at all. Like
they had this fight in Cutthroat, the same fucking fight
that they had at All Stars for the same fight
that is where we saw previewed in this season. They're
gonna fight about the same fucking shit. Those two have
not grown one iota. That is a forever toxic combination.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I don't understand why it. I don't
understand why car keeps trying to make friends with Laurel.
I don't get it. It makes no sense to me.
She needs to just She should have walked into that
house and said, we are not friends, we will never
be friends. Whatever we've had in the past is in
the past. We need to just be cordial enough to
be able to get through these challenges. Don't say a
word to me other than that. I will not say
a word to you other than that, Like, I want
nothing to do with you other than that, because they're
just Yeah, that relation is so fucking toxic. It's yeah,
I hate it, yep, but.
Speaker 1: We've seen that this is Car what Car does. She
hangs on to toxic people. She was the aide too,
and Laurel.
Speaker 3: We also saw Nyah going to Laurel for empathy about
her vaping thing with her lungs, which I mean, I'm
glad that Nya is on the mend, but of all
people to go to, you went to Laurel.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It is weird. There's weird stuff. There's weird stuff
we're not always shown because Derek, remember Derek really trust
Laurel too. But Laurel she's like a bitch to us.
I don't know something.
Speaker 3: So many people last season who felt that way, and
I do not understand it. Laurel has always been such
a massive asshole. I don't understand how anyone can go
to her for empathy.
Speaker 5: And it seems like, you know, the cast always says like,
if she doesn't like you, she is an asshole. But
if she likes you, she's one of the most kind
and caring people to you until you piss her off.
Speaker 1: So maybe that's why Laurel or car want so desperately
be liked that Laurel treats her.
Speaker 3: Basically, I called bullshit on that. I feel like she's
just an asshole. Well here, let's run through the players
real quick, so just so that everybody knows who's all there,
all forty of them.
Speaker 4: Well, just like we talked about how we were going
to do this, we're.
Speaker 3: Not gonna go by person. We said that we weren't
going to go person by person. But Era one, which
is the first ten seasons, is Tina, Katie, Anissa, Brad,
Derek Mark, Rachel, c t Durrell, and Jodi Hey.
Speaker 6: So where was Jody this episode?
Speaker 1: I saw her in two shots. I don't think she
talks because I was, dude, I'm with you, I very
specifically was watching for her because I fucking loved Jody,
like obsessively weirdly uh. And I was so happy she
was back for the All Stars and I was so
excited for her this season. And yes, barely saw her
and was looking for intently.
Speaker 6: For Joe that three times in my notes where it
is joy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she did not show up a lot this episode.
There was a lot of CT. There was quite a
bit of Rachel. I really liked Rachel's toast.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I was. I love everything about Rachel this
season and All Stars for by the way, like great attitude.
She comes into this like a good spirit. I think
she's right well, I think.
Speaker 3: Rachel has some real potential to kick some serious ass
this season.
Speaker 1: I love her.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to seeing her go up against some
of these some of these heavy hitter women. Sorry, what
did you say?
Speaker 6: Every time she talks, she goes, oh hey, also my
fitness brand. A flip of her website with the U
R L on the top of.
Speaker 1: It, always be closing.
Speaker 5: Yep, listen. I also loved her toast. I thought it
was great. But would you think challenge? You think toast
bananas is the icon? Not already such a big season
to like change it.
Speaker 3: Rachel got the Toast and Bananas didn't.
Speaker 5: To be like, hey for fifteen years, like Bananas and
the Toast guy, let's just change it up randomly.
Speaker 3: They changed it up years ago when he stopped being
the epitome of the challenge.
Speaker 5: I feel like when he was.
Speaker 1: There, Well, Zach, I'm gonna back you up. You said
it in the in the group chat among us uh
chat among us hosts, and I'm gonna I'm gonna tell
on you. You said you teared up a little bit
during some of like the flashbacks to the old seasons. Yes, Zach,
I'm kind of with you, like as it flashed back
to these moments that I watched like in my twenties,
Like I was flashback mentally of watching this show when
it mattered to me watching guys like Brad, they were
my age. They were people like like put him in
my buddies and they're like doing this TV show and
watching that age. I know, I know, but like you
know what I'm saying though, Like he like I've watched
him like grow this whole time and like flashing back,
it's like it's like that's my buddy I used to
hang out with, and now he's like a grown man
playing it.
Speaker 4: Remember when you try to give him a necklace and
kind of but heard about it. Yeah, have deal, But
on this he was kind of laughing about it.
Speaker 3: He was it seems that he has come around to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and talked to them, talk to them. Is about
that this weekend. So so I've really made the rounds
talking about the wedgie issue, you guys. But yes, Zach,
I'm with you, man, This is this show mattered a
lot to me in my twenties and flashing back to
those that you know, I used to watch the marathons
and MTV and my parents' basement and shit, and like
I just remember doing that flashing seasons. It hit me
and it hit me in a way.
Speaker 5: It hit me in a way, and I think that's
a big thing. That why I said this was like
to me a top fight ups because it's just so nostalgic,
like he said, all the times when we first got
the show first, all in love with these characters and
they mattered the most of us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when it showed Derek walking around kicking that bullfrog,
remember that when that first aired, And it's just I
just threw over thinking about that weird fucking moment.
Speaker 5: And then something sometimes simple seeing like young CT like
in his first season with his hair and all that
man like, Yeah, that.
Speaker 3: Man was so fucking hot. He still is so fucking hot.
But god damn, did you want.
Speaker 6: Some traditors because he cleans up very nice on that show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he seems like that's his strategy. Now he starts
with the dad bod, he trims up during the season,
and he crushes the final Yeah.
Speaker 3: I love that man.
Speaker 5: I love that man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Steve, did you have any real yeah thoughts about
the era one?
Speaker 6: I have a couple of thoughts. Let me look at
my notes. I said, Oh, where is a Nissa? I said,
I would like to look like Mark when I'm fifty two?
Speaker 3: Oh god right, yes.
Speaker 6: And Katie is looking jack this season.
Speaker 1: Katie is hot, dude, I think it's so hot.
Speaker 5: I used to be Real World only I was not
into road roles. And the thing that got me into
it was I saw promo of Katie's season. I saw
Katie is like, that's the most beautiful woman ever. I
need to watch the show.
Speaker 1: Pale skin, dark hair, that's right.
Speaker 5: Represent Now we got her and amand of the season
wear in Paradise him.
Speaker 4: But I liked it. They acted like, oh, Katie hasn't
been back forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not like forever, right, Like they completely ignore the
last two seasons that she's been on.
Speaker 5: But it is strange, different show.
Speaker 1: But they mentioned the All Stars for John a yea,
so it is it is weird that they left it off.
Speaker 3: For Katie and Katie hit her face again on All
Stars one. Yeah, yeah, it just I don't understand why
they didn't actually like mention it. It was it was.
Speaker 4: Car and Laurel from All Stars, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of Kara and Laurel. Er two is Derek Chavez,
Nee Mayah, Johnny Bananas, Kelly Ann, Ryan Keho, Aviv, Brandon,
Emily Uh, Emily sham so happy about that, Kara and
Laurel and actually going through that list of people. I
don't Brandon didn't have a whole lot to say this episode,
and Aviv straight up didn't show up at all in
this episode until Darrell said something about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the most we saw about Aviv was from Drel.
Speaker 5: I am so excited to see Aviv back, and I'll
tell you why. It has nothing to do with her,
but the fact that the Fresh Meat one winner came
back after all these years. Gives me hope that Carly
will be on the show. Your bestie Carly, that's right, gotcha?
Speaker 1: Didn't she recently? Didn't she get a call for this one?
Speaker 5: I came out with this one, but yeah, she she
did recently get a calla for this one or for
All Stars. So I think we might see or show
up in the next year or so.
Speaker 3: See. The only thing that I picked up for a
VIV was Durrell mentioned that he saw a Viv and
his thought was, that is someone who I can one trust.
And my immediate thought was, she is on a different team.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: I think though, when he pairs up with somebody, he
just loves that person forever.
Speaker 3: No, I get that. But like he was like that
she's gonna choose her team over him.
Speaker 6: But he didn't pull me like it hasn't been twenty years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it also could be a thing where, you know,
if they're competing, like as you know groups and like
let's say the second place group gets to you know,
the first place group gets to vote the last group
into elimination. But that's good to have l alliances on
the other No, it is, I.
Speaker 3: Mean, I can understand where he's coming from, but it
was still just like Durrell, she's not your court.
Speaker 1: Come on, dude, we'll see maybe he terms her.
Speaker 6: It's good to have people on other teams in the corner.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
Speaker 3: It is definitely good to have people on other teams.
Speaker 5: And I'd say especially especially because she hasn't been around
the show, you know for years, Like no one's going
to have her back on her team the way Drew
will have her back.
Speaker 3: That is very true. It's very very true.
Speaker 1: All right, who's third Air?
Speaker 3: All right? So Era three is Tory, Amanda Leroy, john A, Naya, Tony, Avery,
Devin Corey, and a question mark until the very very
very end of this episode when we watched Jordan walk in.
Speaker 4: See this is one of the one of the reasons
I hate this episode. Does the producers like that act
like the internet doesn't exist. We all know Jordan's on
the show, just say he's not there yet, he's in
the pictures.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know that Jordan is on the show, but
the people they may not know that he's gonna be
on the show. I mean they do, but.
Speaker 5: And also like you know, you guys know, I recently
got my mom into the show and she has been
binge watching all the seasons, but she doesn't go online
look at this stuff. She has no idea who's gonna
be on this season.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. I do feel it. So this kind
of same thing happens with the Bravo fandom for All
the Housewives and various other things. There's a very small
subset of people like us who see things online and
pay attention to all of that sort of thing, follow
people on Instagram, whatever. But the vast majority of people
who watch shows like The Housewives, shows like The Challenge
don't follow all of this shit online, so they don't
see all they don't listen to the podcast. They they
literally just watch the show and that's it. So it
could actually be like a oh, this is fun type
of thing for those people, But for people like us
who are cynical and jaded, it's.
Speaker 4: A nice stop. They should stop watching Desert if they're
not going to keep up with all that shit.
Speaker 1: I liked I liked the surprise. I liked Jordan at the.
Speaker 4: End, were you surprise?
Speaker 1: Uh huh? I was like, Oh, he's theres a race car.
I was like, I didn't know he could get you,
he can get cooler, he can drive a fucking race car.
Fucking this guy.
Speaker 6: In the entire series. What I think he's the best
redemption the entire series.
Speaker 3: Does that man has grown so much, so much since
the Johnny Bananas fan.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so the guy who went from first season first
went out taken out by his best friend to now
being the all time most wins.
Speaker 3: That is. That is not a redemption art. That is
just how he's played in the game. What we are
talking about is that person as a whole. Jordan went
from being an absolute jackass to everyone.
Speaker 5: All right, well, then I will see your Jordan. I'll
raise you. See t who was temporarily banned from the
show over that's violence. I mean CT does actually have
I forgot about c.
Speaker 3: CT also has a really great's.
Speaker 1: Got a better art, has got a better Yeah, goose,
says Zach when Zach Zach just laid down that trump card.
He's like, that is true.
Speaker 3: Zach tried to originally play with Bananas.
Speaker 1: That's true. But you know at the end, he's like,
this is a losing one. All right, here we go.
Speaker 3: You're right, CT has a better arc.
Speaker 5: He came in as John and he's leaving his bananas.
You know, that's pretty epic.
Speaker 6: I do think he's definitely more well liked among the
cast now, especially with the guess he has in his podcast,
because he was definitely hated in the earlier seasons. Yes,
but CT and George just have better stories.
Speaker 1: They definitely, They definitely And Zach, You're gonna you're gonna
hate hearing this, But there is no player in the
game that is more fun to watch than Jordan. That's
just it's just a fact. He is so fucking fun
to watch and to hear him say things. And he's just.
Speaker 5: Until until Jordan has his sister write pink notes before
a season behind around the House, I will disagree.
Speaker 6: Banana's is really good at the game. Jordan is really
good at being a competitor, and I like watching the
people who are good at competing better than I like
the people who are good for TV.
Speaker 1: And Jordan is just a showman. Everything he does is
sort of for show like he's just I don't know,
he's he's good.
Speaker 3: At it, and I love watching him every single time.
I love watching him. I will I'm gonna hate saying
this because it's gonna be held against me for the
rest of the season. I will say that Johnny Bananas
has grown about this much because he does say and
when they introduce his era, when they introduce Era to
he does say that the ladies look stronger than the guys.
I will give him this much.
Speaker 1: This much.
Speaker 3: Everyone who's listening. It's like my fingers are less than
the sinimator.
Speaker 5: Art so another person, and I will I will not
say they have the best redemption, but I do think
they have a pretty good. One is Naya, who I
fell in love with in Atlanta and she's now my
new challenge.
Speaker 3: Man still annoys me. I mean, she's not the crazy
hurricane Nyah that she was, but I'm still not a fan.
Speaker 1: She's annoying and different. She's annoying in a different way.
Speaker 5: Now, you just got to meet her in person. She'll
charm you too, she charmed me.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that she would.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have my own boobs.
Speaker 5: I say, Tim, it's the same way that Nurice charmed you.
She charmed me.
Speaker 3: Well, you know again, I have my own boobs.
Speaker 1: So do I, Carlin, I know what it's like.
Speaker 5: We appreciate her, We appreciate you showing your boobs on
the seed tonight that look what I found?
Speaker 1: What did you find? And wife? Are you drinking or am
I still drinking alone? I'm drinking. I'm sitting with four
assholes making me drink alone.
Speaker 6: I have my coffee.
Speaker 3: That doesn't Tim, I will drink with you on episode one.
Speaker 1: You better forty forty forty.
Speaker 3: I'm not drinking forty. We've already gone to back.
Speaker 6: I'll drink.
Speaker 1: Well. I'm not God, I'm not Steve. I'm not gonna
like risk anybody's sobriety. But I will say also, by
the way, also, by the way, I propose that we
would drink a forty every single episode this season. And
I went to the corner gas station as as a
loyal man to buy my forty. I am not sure
you can get forties anymore. I checked three gas stations.
Speaker 3: Well, there's your problem.
Speaker 5: Go to a liquor store.
Speaker 1: I don't think they sell I don't think that's always
where I got my forties before. That's where you get
where you get forties available in Jersey. Seriously, I found
twenty five ounce cans and bottles. I cannot find a forty.
Speaker 3: The next time I go to a liquor store, I'll
take a picture and send it to you.
Speaker 4: All right, you got to You gotta remember Tim lives
in a rich neighborhood. They don't tolerate that kind of
trash in that neighborhood.
Speaker 1: That's just not true.
Speaker 5: That is very true.
Speaker 1: It's just not true.
Speaker 3: All right, Final Era Era four. We have Polly Theo, Casey,
Michelle Horasio, Olivia, Josh Nourice, Jenny West, and Kyland.
Speaker 6: I'm so happy Jenny is back too, same where's she been?
Speaker 1: Why did why didn't they invite her back? For a
million scenes? Is around as a winner?
Speaker 5: Mike, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I have no idea.
Speaker 5: I mean it goes back to the wall. I guess. Uh.
You guys saying you love watching Jordan compete. I think
Jenny's a great competitor. I don't think she's necessarily thrilling
television though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's boring, Yeah, because you have to be a
good competitor, and you asked that to be fun to watch,
like Jordan and CTR and yeah, I think Jenny's maybe
less fun to watch. But I think she's a really
good competitor. I'm happy to see her back, especially because
everybody in the season is a is a badass. Oh Josh,
this season well okay, okay with that, but there's so
many badass women and to see her against like a
Laurel or something is pretty It is pretty outstanding.
Speaker 3: And I'm super stoked to watch these badass women just
annihilate each other. I mean, we've got Jenny, We've got Kara, Laurel, Rachel,
Emily Schram. I am so fucking excited about Emily Schram.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see her play this game.
Speaker 1: Same these I hope we get a big physical competition
between big women and big men, like let's like, let's
go there.
Speaker 6: In such good sheep. This season they have to do
more physical.
Speaker 5: Stuffy and they well you should be like loving this
right now because we all have to remember there's a
good chance, like as happy as we are, like we
have Emily, we have Car, we have all the one
of them could take each other out like the first
week and we lose that person and then we got
they're gone. This is our like dream time when we
get to be like they're all great, they're not going anywhere.
We're gonna have them all for the entire season.
Speaker 1: A season like this is the only time that I
think I approve of like a redemption house situation, so
that if somebody does leave a really we can sort
of have them in there.
Speaker 6: For a while, well like beat by being the episode
or are we like jumping around, because no, we're just.
Speaker 3: Kind of jumping around. There's no real form to this episode.
Speaker 1: Reflow Baby.
Speaker 6: Do you remember the end of the episode where TJ
said half of you will see elimination tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I don't know if they cut that, and that's like
halfway through the season. But if they're cutting a bunch
of people at one time for the most expensive cast,
they have to have a redemption house. It would be insane.
Speaker 3: Oh god, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 6: Survivor season forty and I would be okay with it
for this because of.
Speaker 1: The same exactly the same Survivor season forty I think
did it well because they had the Exile Island, but
they had sort of separate games that they played amongst
themselves and the main game was over here. I thought
Survivor forty balanced it well. And if that means we
get to see these players in it for a little longer,
I'm I'm down with a redemption house for first season
like this, right.
Speaker 5: Because yeah, like if someone like Emily went out first episode,
I think they'd all be annoyed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I guess that's true. I just I think
I still have such a bad taste in my mouth
from the last time they did a redemption house where
Polly and Natalie came back yea over and over and
over and over again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then they got robbed of their win.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I almost always hate a redemption house, but yes,
this is one where, Yeah, if if CT goes home early,
I want I'll see in the dremption house. Then like,
let's put him in a redemption house and watch Yes, whoa, Yeah,
that's not looking good. That's probably going to influence the draft.
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, So that was one of those things
that like I don't know if it's necessarily spoilers or whatnot,
but they Jordan went on his Instagram and said some
shit about how this season people were not treated, like
the cast was not treated very well and it looks
like there are multiple people who get hurt. Like it
sounds like they like production fucked up this season.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I wonder if it's just because it's such a house
they can't pay for the house.
Speaker 5: That's what I was gonna say. I wonder if it's
just they sent so much budget on the cast so
they had to cut corners elsewhere.
Speaker 1: Did you guys not like the house, just think it
was a shitty house? I thought the house was cool
me too, So why are we? Why are we shitting
on the house? Steve? Why sitting on the house?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: I love the house, but the people are coming out
Wes's Jordan is Ryan is talking about how horrible conditions
were and productions treated them and this and that.
Speaker 1: So you don't mean the house's you mean the conditions
of the house, not in the house, I think, not
the state of the house. I say, Okay, I thought
you meant like living in a shitty house. Okay, Yeah,
I thought the house is really a unique one. Not
to change the subject, but like, I think it's kind
of cool how they're all sleeping in huge rooms. Yeah,
you know there's they're not all beds this year, fewer
places to hide. I think it's kind of a cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very big and open. I thought it was
a pretty cool house too.
Speaker 4: Was that Wolfy your places to hide?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Did they mention Vietnam at any point? Because I know
Bananas talked about it on his podcast, but I don't
know if they said that they were in Vietnam in.
Speaker 3: The episode They're at Ya.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So just now I.
Speaker 5: Think I think he did make it comment about Vietnam,
but I didn't catch that. I thought he was just
saying like he was compared to the Vietnam War or something.
Speaker 1: Incorrect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to this season, all right.
Speaker 1: So where we're at, we're at generation for yet. Have
we talked about that?
Speaker 3: We just don't have Okay, all right, I think overall overall,
this cast is pretty fucking stacked. There are only a
handful of people that I'm not super stoked up, like Josh.
I really can't stand Josh, but we needed somebody there
that I can shoot on.
Speaker 1: And thank godfest he's not there right, Oh god, thank god.
Speaker 3: I wonder how he is. Josh is more entertaining than Bees.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Theys they both pissed me off, but I guess
I prefer Josh.
Speaker 3: I really I would love to know. I would love
to know how mad Fesse is, that he did not
get invited and that Josh made up and Casey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fues.
Speaker 6: I liked him his first season.
Speaker 3: What I liked him his first season too, because he was.
Speaker 6: This new, big, strong guy that came in and was
just cleaning house. He made it to the final and
then the next season, like I could just stare at
paint drying and yeah.
Speaker 3: And I mean his first season he was big and
tall and hot and I was so excited and quiet,
and then he started talking about how he's an introvert
and that was his like pickup line, I'm an introvert.
Speaker 1: Carlin thought he was so sexy un till he talked Yes.
Speaker 4: I started. I started off that season liking him because
I had seen him.
Speaker 5: On Big Brother Brother.
Speaker 4: He was good, I'm Big Brother like he was. He
was like someone was I don't know if entertaining to watch,
but it's just like, oh, like, I like this guy.
I mean, you get to know people Big Brother. He's
a the challenge.
Speaker 5: I mean, he was stupid as could be on Big Brother,
but he was still fun.
Speaker 4: He wasn't a z egotistical and Big Brother no, but he
has big fan later that wasn't quite true, but yeah,
great than Big Brothers.
Speaker 5: Every week he'd be on the wrong side of the vote.
And then you'd always be like, who flipped?
Speaker 1: I've never seen an episode of Big Brother, but I
know I know that was his thing from that who flipped?
Who Flipped?
Speaker 6: I tried, I couldn't get into it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, amazing.
Speaker 3: Big Brother has never been a thing for me.
Speaker 6: Can I say? I am so happy to hope he
does not quit immediately again?
Speaker 1: You who?
Speaker 3: You who?
Speaker 6: Tony? Yeah, I'm so happy he's back. But he didn't
see him in any scenes except for when he introduced himself.
Speaker 3: Oh shit.
Speaker 6: He Also he wasn't in trailer for the season.
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, So you just said you just said
the thing that I was trying not to say earlier
to that to everybody. So there you go, guys, that's
that's the thing I know.
Speaker 3: Oh that he wasn't in the ship.
Speaker 6: That's the that's you extended trailer. I watched the right.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't either. I said, guys, I don't want
to phrase this as a spoiler because I'm not sure
it is one. But I read a trailer speculation that
might be one. I don't want to say anything else
about it, and then that that was what it was.
It could be nothing, it could it could legit mean nothing.
Speaker 3: I mean, granted, this season is it has forty fucking
people on it. Yeah, there is a chance that on
you know, in one of the challenges, he when they
do a fly by, I have a bunch of people.
He could be in one of those groups.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I remember watching season thirty and I said,
thirty people is too many people.
Speaker 3: Thirty people was too many people? Is way too many.
They better do some purges, like right off the that.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to. Yeah, but it's just the worst
case today they purge all the people we love and
were left with, like, no.
Speaker 6: They got two people at a time and go back
to what he used to.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited. That's gonna be cool. See, I don't
I don't know anything about the game or format or anything,
but I'm it's I'm I'm kind.
Speaker 3: Of I'm looking forward to it.
Speaker 6: Opinions, Here are you guys, Team Amanda or Team Tory Amanda.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I don't remember why they're fighting.
Speaker 5: I don't even remember all the details the fighting. I
just know Amanda's hotter, So I'm Kim Amanda.
Speaker 6: I agree with you.
Speaker 3: I like I like I like Amanda because she's messy.
Speaker 1: Steve do you like it just because Amanda's hotter? Is
that what you're picking.
Speaker 6: Ada's more entertaining to watch, is better at the competition,
but Amanda just makes the show Better's messy, it's great.
Speaker 1: You don't actually care about the fighter, who's right or
who's wrong.
Speaker 6: It's just Oh no, I don't. It's a TV show.
I knock somebody out because they were gay or you know,
like he did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Davis, Well, yeah, I mean I I the actual
I don't remember why they're fighting, but yeah, I like.
I like how messy Amanda is. She's messy with a purpose.
Speaker 5: If she has said that, Oh I remember, I remember
why they're fighting. They're fighting because Amanda and Betsy got
together on that one season. Then Tory hooked up with
him on the vacation.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't care. I don't. I don't care
about that. I don't have a side. I do think, though,
I think that Amanda is nicer than she acts on
the show. I think she is leaning into this character
and she's playing it up. I don't think she's like
this in real life. And I bet she's kind of
liked by the cast when they're outside of the outside
of the you know house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably she's a corrections nurse, which means my girlfriend
by like her.
Speaker 1: It is kind of cool that she like works in
a prison helping people, and then she goes on this
reality show and she's a total bitch everybody. It's kind
of a weird. It's a weird.
Speaker 5: Yeah, her job does make me think that she might
be more of a bitch in real life too, because
you know, she need tough ad toue with prisoners.
Speaker 1: I guess that's true to that. It's just a tough.
Speaker 5: Yeah, putting the prisoners in their place, yelling at them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Tough old ladies.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, younger than I am.
Speaker 1: I'm into tough ladies and moms. By the way, I
prefer moms. So I would totally date in Amanda. If
you are because of tor you are.
Speaker 5: Mom listening to this podcast right into our email app,
especially if.
Speaker 3: You are, especially if you are petite, light skin, dark.
Speaker 5: Hair, and okay with having and okay with having a
boyfriend for like three hours once a week.
Speaker 1: Right, And yes, no further than like fifteen minutes away.
That's too far. No closer than ten minutes away, because
that's too close. I have a very very small radius
of people that will fit into much.
Speaker 5: There's an exemption to this rule if your name is Maurice.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, Nurisa. Yes.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: Did you guys catch in the trailer that it looks
like Corey might be getting real close with someone in
a pool.
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't care. Who's the someone? I didn't know.
Speaker 3: But it may have been. It may be taken out
of It's definitely taken out of context, because who are
we kidding. No, it looked like Corey was getting all
up close and personal with a woman in a pool.
Speaker 5: Well, I hope not because, oh Josh, you know what, Yes,
I I mean I totally thought.
Speaker 3: That was Corey.
Speaker 1: Well they both have the corn Rows this season rights
than the other one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I can confirm actually that I think
that that is definitely.
Speaker 3: I was watching this while at were so did.
Speaker 1: You think it was Corey and Noya me, Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I just thought that it was I just thought
that it was Corey. I didn't know who the person was,
who the other person was, all right.
Speaker 1: You just you thought it was scandless as Corey's with
somebody on the outside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like this is a problem.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he just posted like family portraits on his Instagram.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is why I thought it was a problem.
Speaker 6: That wouldn't be the first time for Corey.
Speaker 3: No, it wouldn't be. It wouldn't be the second, third,
or fourth time either.
Speaker 1: I like that they brought up postagate though, as if
it was still a thing that people gave a shit about.
I don't think even Tony cares about that.
Speaker 3: I had totally forgotten about that until they showed the clip,
and for some reason, but when he said, yeah, I
give you permission to show the clip, I had it
in my memory is roles were reverse showed. It was like, oh,
that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird that they're playing this up. But it's
weird that they're throwing this out as like a conflict,
like a rival where they have to move past it.
Seems like this is kind of no big deal. It
seems like they both would have moved past it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're trying to.
Speaker 3: They're both they've both grown.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just pick themselves up for when you know Rivals
four comes out.
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 3: Now that we've kind of said the whole cast, Uh,
we are doing the Fantasy league again this season, mm hmmm,
same kind of style for the Public League that we
did last season.
Speaker 4: I will see if you can beat Steve this year.
Speaker 5: Are we committing that whoever wins gets to do it
this next season with US?
Speaker 3: I mean, if there is a next season.
Speaker 1: If not, we'll do like a wrap up challenge the
last episode ever with the winner.
Speaker 5: We have nothing else. We already know for sure. We're
getting All Stars five.
Speaker 1: So that's true. That's true.
Speaker 6: And they're getting a spinoff of All Stars too. I
think CBS is doing one, and Paramount is doing a
spin off of the Challenge spinoff as well. Wait say
this again, like the end of All Stars for Paramount
is doing a spinoff show and CBS is doing a
spin off show each of the Challenge. They didn't announce
what it was, but it was the Challenge, Okay, so
it might be pulling people from different shows trying to
do like a USA three but not name it that.
Speaker 1: Ok It is weird that they kept calling it USA
when they killed all the other ones, and it's like,
what what is the challenge USA? When there's no challenge
other countries? Yeah?
Speaker 3: But yeah, so Public Fantasy League this season will be
you get to pick four players every episode you can
pick them up to four times in the season. So
same rules as last season, similar point stylings, all that
sort of thing, and I will put a link to
it in our in the link tree for our Instagram
and Facebook and all that sort of thing. And it
should be active now.
Speaker 4: So if you challenge Challenge dot com, if.
Speaker 5: You go to.
Speaker 3: Real TV Fantasy dot com, it is the Challenged Pod
Fantasy League. Everybody is welcome to join, and if you win,
you get to come and co host a an episode
with us.
Speaker 1: But we promise it is not fun. Steve can verify
that at time, so don't try too hard to win anything.
Speaker 3: But Steve, do you want to pick our order for
who's gonna how We're gonna draft for the the host
league because we are going to do that again this
season and hopefully Tim doesn't fuck it up royally.
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna have Tim go last.
Speaker 1: What the fuck, dude, I thought we were buddies. What
the fun did you guys? Hear what this guy just
did to me?
Speaker 6: You get to analyze.
Speaker 3: It's a snake draft. You get to go twice in
a row.
Speaker 5: So Carlin's that one. Tim's at for? What about Wolfe
and I.
Speaker 6: I'll put you at second and I'll put wolf at third.
Speaker 4: All right, bias, bullshit.
Speaker 5: I mean it does makes sense. The top two finishers
from last season are the top two pickers this season. Yeah,
I mean it.
Speaker 1: Makes sense that you put last place in last place again,
Steve really well thought that was really really kind to me.
Speaker 5: I mean I technically did when last season, so I
should be first. But I didn't wear the bikini on camera.
Speaker 3: Like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, always that hope we should have worn a sexy outfit.
Speaker 3: All right, all right, well I'm gonna I'm gonna kick
it off with Rachel. I gotta go for Rachel. I
think she's got some serious potential this season.
Speaker 1: We how are we doing? Are we doing in genders
or are we doing? You can just do whatever you want, do.
Speaker 3: Whatever you want, do whatever we should each Because it
is split down the middle of five and five per era,
I think we should try and do five and five
for us as well, so everybody ends up with five
women and five men.
Speaker 5: I think you can try for that, but I don't
less you should be re quiet to stick to that.
Speaker 3: Like if I going we're each getting ten players, think, Yeah,
that's the fair way to do.
Speaker 6: It is gonna be one winner this season. There a
man and a woman.
Speaker 3: Every other season they've done. I take the back. I
can't say that.
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. I I am going to shock
everyone and not take the nance. I'll take Jordan, Oh,
you son of a bitch, because either then I'll get
Johnny on the way back or one of you guys
has to root for Johnny.
Speaker 1: Either way, somebody taking is somebody taking notes as to
who we're paying.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll fee you're up.
Speaker 4: I'm taking Johnny so that Zach has to hate at
him every week.
Speaker 5: You know. This is my second draft, and last time
I did the same thing. I was like, I'll get
Johnny on the way back, and he got sniped from
me again because someone they want me to have him.
Speaker 3: All right, Sam, two picks.
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta go my boy, Brad number one.
I know that might be a bad pick because he
did so fucking poorly on All Stars four, but I
want to give you another shot here, and I believe
in Brad.
Speaker 5: Well, Tim's going out in half the season again.
Speaker 1: And my number two Laurel Okay, okay, yeah, someone else
who no, well, no, you can't say it now because
then who I was gonna say? Okay, all right, I'm
happy with it, o.
Speaker 4: Zach, Oh, no it is I'm gonna take Carl darn it.
Speaker 5: That's what I meant. Who did you take first?
Speaker 3: Carlin Rachel?
Speaker 5: That's what I thought.
Speaker 7: I was just thinking about her. Okay, mm hmmm, I'll
take I'll take Jenny, all right.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go Derek Chavez.
Speaker 4: Oh sleep.
Speaker 3: You know he he did really well last season and
and I kind of liked him sleeper.
Speaker 1: He's one of these that I thought like, oh, he's
not a great addition to the cast, but after All
Stars four, yes he has I think he's actually gonna
perform really well. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 3: And then I'm also gonna take I'm gonna take Emily
you pitch.
Speaker 5: I figured. I was like, I either gotta take Emily
or Jenny because.
Speaker 3: Heavy hitters that have come back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, alright, So I got one girl, one get at
me finally put my pictures. See who else is there?
Give me else is good?
Speaker 6: There are quite a few, a lot of options here.
Speaker 5: Give me my Lascar girl, give me Olivia.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Boofye Devon?
Speaker 3: Who sorry you cut out?
Speaker 1: Had, all right, and then I get I get to you,
get to my boy Leroy, and uh Casey.
Speaker 3: All right, I do have to say I kind of
love like normally it drives me nuts when they do
the whole family thing. I don't really care about it,
but I did kind of love the little video that
he got of Cam and the kids.
Speaker 1: Oh at the end, can I watch it again?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Fuck you, Leroy. That's what I would have said to you,
son of a bitch. That teared out right very sweet, Steve,
are you dad? You got kids?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: Okay, but I you know I love Leroy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kids are dumb, that's true.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll.
Speaker 4: Figure up Torri.
Speaker 3: Good choice, bananas.
Speaker 5: It back to me. Yeah, okay, who did Tim take?
I must have missed that.
Speaker 1: No, well he took Tori.
Speaker 3: Sorry, we'll get Tempory. Tim took Casey.
Speaker 5: Did Tim get his second person?
Speaker 3: Leroy?
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm just making sure he didn't, like, only get
one pick? Give me give me, uh Michelle, God damn it,
so I forgot.
Speaker 1: Are we we're doing ten picks?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna do the whole We're gonna do the
whole thing. And we each get five women and five.
Speaker 6: Men any trades.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yep.
Speaker 3: So in this game we're doing. The host league is
gonna be slightly different this year, and that we are
all picking our full teams. Trading is allowed, and if,
like Tim did last season, we go completely out in
the first half of the season, then the person that
goes completely out gets to steal one player from the
other three teams, any player they want. All right, I'm
gonna say THEO.
Speaker 5: Darn you and ye.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, is it your turn? Isn't it my No,
it's my turn.
Speaker 5: Zach just went yeah, So now Carlin gets two turns.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick THEO and fuck it, I'm gonna do
a viv Oh.
Speaker 6: I would have picked her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Zach, your turn.
Speaker 5: I was gonna take THEO. I just try to get
all the showmances there, but I don't know who to take. Now,
I'll do John a.
Speaker 4: Kay Well Fae Mark Long.
Speaker 5: Yes. You know.
Speaker 3: For as big and bad as he looks, it's kind
of surprising that he never really ranks in the same
level as some of these other people.
Speaker 1: I think it's because when they played, they made a
lot of deals, and so he never tried that hard.
In the early seasons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 6: Also, I have a note from X's when he said
to Bananas, tried doing this when you're forty, and now
he's fifty two and Bananas is forty two and then
still doing it.
Speaker 1: They mentioned that a little bit about getting sore or something.
They mentioned that in this that Yeah, they're they're growing up,
you know, says my I get too now right, Yes, Steve,
I'm gonna I'm gonna make you get my two take
him out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, do you want a man and a woman? Yeah,
whatever you think, I trust you win not just points
for winning, you also get points for drama and things
like that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, man, just pick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna do all the things.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna pick Amanda. If she wasn't picked, she was.
Speaker 3: Still out there, Okay.
Speaker 6: And then look at this cast.
Speaker 1: While you think about it. Ryan in the chat room
does say ct getting no love? Does an he go home? Yes,
we did see it coming soon. Cet does go away
in a stretcher. So I think all of us are
avoiding him for that exact reason.
Speaker 5: If he's like completely fine and just comes back.
Speaker 1: Like that happens like not rarely. Yeah, so we'll see.
Remember when remember when Jordan broke his leg and then
won the final ten minutes later. You know.
Speaker 6: He's he's been in process.
Speaker 1: Okay, we talked to me and Zach were maybe spoiling
some Hirossia stuff at Challenge Mania. So I think that's
why me and Zach are avoiding Hirossie.
Speaker 5: Well you're not avoiding him anymore, Tim, you took the risks.
Speaker 1: Did I get him? Thanks, Steve Adam, Steve of a bitch.
You fucked me.
Speaker 3: It's okay, that's why it wasn't said earlier.
Speaker 6: Well, I won't pick him for my draft.
Speaker 1: So oh no, all right, we'll fit.
Speaker 4: You're up, Anissa, what old choice?
Speaker 5: Okay, you're keeping a list of the right Carland? Okay,
can you tell can you tell me how many women
I have? How many men?
Speaker 1: You have?
Speaker 3: Three women, four women and one man.
Speaker 5: One? Give me Kyland.
Speaker 1: That's a good one too. I was going to Pickland. Yeah,
he is smart, he is he warmed up. Yeah, I
finally warmed up to him. It took me a minute
for that guy. But I think I'm in. I think
I'm into Kyland now.
Speaker 3: Sorry, give me just a second. I'm just deleting the
people off of this full list, but have been picked.
Speaker 5: So that I can also.
Speaker 6: Brad's gonna look at his entire team and say that
new kid beat me.
Speaker 5: I can't believe Carlin sniped Derek Primier. Life was again
later for sure?
Speaker 3: You know he just did so well.
Speaker 5: Less he did he did? I have so much faith
in him.
Speaker 3: God damn, this list of people is so fucking huge.
Geez christ, I'm gonna go with Darrell, which I realize
is out of character for me. And let's say I
have one, two, three women.
Speaker 1: I think Darrell's gonna do well in these team formats.
I think that a lot of people that don't necessarily
do well, like Leroy, might do better in a in
a larger team.
Speaker 6: I think Darrell plays an old school game, and with
all these new people, he hasn't adjusted, which is part
of why he's not doing so well.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but a bigger team is sort of a
moral old school approach to the game.
Speaker 6: Right, bigger team and people from his era, I think
I'll do much better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, and.
Speaker 3: Do Jody? All right? Zach, you're up?
Speaker 5: Do they want taking Corey yet?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 6: Co A, do you get points? For every time he
talks about his kids. Probably not in the public public.
Speaker 1: Alright, my turn again.
Speaker 4: Nope, No, Wolfy, I'm letting Carl and catch up. So
you're reading to herself.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was just counting to make sure that I've
got the right people. All right, Sorry, go for it, Hollie.
Speaker 1: Okay, now it's my turn. Yes, and so can you
can you give me account like you did, Zach? How
many men and how many women do I have?
Speaker 5: So you have one?
Speaker 3: Two, three men and three women?
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna go with a anybody got
Derek Kazinski yet I don't think so. All right, I'll
get Kazinski and I'll take I'll take Avery.
Speaker 5: Okay, how do I forget Amyl?
Speaker 3: All right, we'll figure back up.
Speaker 5: Uh naya, Wow, I forgot about Avery.
Speaker 1: And she's your best friend, Zach.
Speaker 5: She is like I totally forgot those two were even
like part of the season. Ye, all right, Zach, I
should be what four women?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 5: Three men? Yes, I'll take a.
Speaker 1: Nea mayah, And I'm done picking now right, I just
get the stragglers that are left over.
Speaker 3: No, not yet, alight, Can I go to him?
Speaker 1: No, I'm just saying I'm not sure I get to
go again if I've picked. If I picked eight, you
need to go again.
Speaker 3: You get to go again because we have ten?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, because I'm gonna go see t and Nourice.
Speaker 5: Zach give me the goof mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Thank you for not leaving him.
Speaker 5: And I wanted him. I was like, oh, no, one's
gonna take him. I can't get him later. He he
he always goes for on these seasons. People seem to
keep him around. I'm happy they.
Speaker 6: Keep him around because he's a layup and they get
rid of him before the end.
Speaker 5: Hey, you get points for lasting in this game, so
I'm good with just taking the points for lasting.
Speaker 6: I think it's a solid pick. I don't think he's
a good competitor.
Speaker 5: No, but.
Speaker 4: What men are left?
Speaker 3: The men that are left are Ryan, Keyhoe, Brandon, and Tony.
Speaker 4: I'll take Brandon, okay, all right?
Speaker 3: Tim, you have one two three four men and one
two three four women, so you need a man and
a woman.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Steve, pick them all right.
Speaker 3: So the people who are left are Tina, Katie, Kelly, Ann,
Ryan Kehoe, and Tony.
Speaker 1: Any one woman and one man? Yes, all right, Steve,
I trust you.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna pick because I love Callyanne.
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's what I would have picked.
Speaker 5: It.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm screw with Ryan or Tony. Either way,
I'm gonna be pissed that you did. I don't care.
Speaker 6: There's no winning because Ryan's from New Jersey, is from
half an hour from where I live.
Speaker 3: All right, right, Wilfee, you need to pick a one, two, three,
four five. You need to pick a woman, Tina or
Katie Katie darn you?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: So Zach, you get a woman, right?
Speaker 5: Yeah? So is it just Tina by default?
Speaker 3: Yep? So you get Tina. I get Tony.
Speaker 5: Oh, poor Tony. He's fallen from grace going all the
way it laughed.
Speaker 1: It's just because of what we talked about. If we
were basically on a competitive you know, competition standpoint true,
be different.
Speaker 4: If we do nothing, he would have been chosen.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: All right, So real quick, we're gonna run through cebrides
no their teams. Tim, you have Brad Laurel, Lee, Roy Casey,
Amanda Harassio, Derek uh Kazenski, Avery, Kelly Ann, and Ryan Wolfe.
You have Johnny Banana's Carra Devin Tory, Mark, Anissa, Pauline,
Naya Brandon, and Katie. Zach. Yeah, Zach, you have Jordan, Jenny, Olivia, Michelle,
john A, Kylan, Corey, Neemyah, Josh and Tina. And I
have Rachel, Derek Chavez, Emily Theo, Aviv Durell, Jody, ct
Nuris and Tony. I feel like these are pretty evenly
stacked teams.
Speaker 4: Mine's the best one.
Speaker 3: I mean, granted, I also kind of thought the last
season was going to go pretty well and then yeah,
Tim lost his entire team.
Speaker 1: I felt so strong my first season, man, I felt
so strong.
Speaker 5: I remember after we did the daft before time, like
I got the worst team by.
Speaker 1: Far yep, And I went on Facebook. Somebody called me
out and said I had I had the best team.
I was like, of course, I do, like look at
my lineup and then just remember that knocked off.
Speaker 3: So, Steve, are you going to be doing a draft
league like this as well?
Speaker 6: I'm going to be doing your public One the only
friends I have that watched this besides my wife is
one of my managers.
Speaker 1: Say that that's why we did That's why we started
this podcast. We had the same issue.
Speaker 3: I might I might throw a second public fantasy team
in the fantasy league in there that you just get
to get a crisp virtual high five if you win,
just for the fun of it. So I'll look at
the other ones and see what's available and throw something fun.
Speaker 6: Together, buying one cheap like ten bucks, but.
Speaker 3: All the money.
Speaker 5: I volunteer to hold the money.
Speaker 4: There we go. Could we could collect it and donate
it to med gifts?
Speaker 1: There you go, that's true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, don a tu med gift via the grunt guy industries.
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's a callback.
Speaker 4: Now we did it on our own last time. So ye,
thankfully we didn't team up with him very much.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's it. That was the That was
the draft.
Speaker 3: What what's everybody's who? Now that the draft is done?
Speaker 4: Chat room? Who's gonna win?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 3: Does everybody think it's gonna win? If it's if? Do
we think it's Let me take the back say whether
you think it's going to be one winner or two?
And who you think is going to be the winner.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a team. I think it's
gonna be a team winner. I don't think there's gonna
do any shenanigans. I think we're gonna stick with the
team from start to finish. That's what I think.
Speaker 3: Which do you think is gonna win?
Speaker 1: No, first gen? Yeah, duh, of course that's who I'm
rooting for. I think they're gonna win like that.
Speaker 3: Ye guess I didn't. I haven't even thought about it
being a team. I've just been so used to the
last like twenty seasons where everything always ends up being
one or two winners.
Speaker 1: World of the World's two was the last Team one
we had, and before then it was it was a
million years before the previous Team one. So yeah, we're
due for teams. I think this is going to be
team one.
Speaker 6: You think they'll knock the teams down to like two
people and keep it as teams, not merge it as
one big group.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: They did that in like the Ruins, Right, that ended
with like the final there was a team of two
versus a team of like six or something.
Speaker 6: They did it in the Ruins. They did it in
Cutthroat two, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a couple teams in Cut throw I
hope they do. I mean, I think like that. That's
the point of this, right, It's the battle of the generations.
Like we got to keep them in generations.
Speaker 3: About I'm just so used to it being split up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't thought about that.
Speaker 3: That's a fun one.
Speaker 1: Ryan says he thinks it'll be individual winners. He's going
CT and Jenny West.
Speaker 3: All right, Wolfey, what do you think?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think it's gonna start off teams.
It will be split up at some point.
Speaker 3: Who do you think is gonna win?
Speaker 6: C T.
Speaker 1: Always? I think Jordan, I always for I think Jordan's
gonna win every season he's on. I just think he's
that guy. So I think it's gonna be Jordan.
Speaker 5: What time I'm gonna I'm gonna say Johnny wins because
I think Johnny wins every season.
Speaker 3: He hasn't won the last few seasons he's been.
Speaker 5: On still one more than.
Speaker 1: Boom Roast percentage wise. I don't think that's true, though.
Speaker 6: I think Jenny have a fair shot. Do you think
who Jordan and Jenny?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 3: I I still think Jenny. Yeah, I think Jenny has
a good chance. I think Rachel has a serious shot.
I worry I I worry a little bit about Emily
not having been on the Challenge in a really long time. Yeah,
but I really want her to do well well.
Speaker 1: And I think Jenny is sort of like a Horassio
that she's she likes the athletic and the sportsmanship of it,
and she's the drama and and less concerned about like
the loopholes and stuff that, like, yeah, the less competitive,
like a Devon finds a loophole and he relies on
his brain. And I think that people like.
Speaker 3: Forget about Devon. I love Ship. There's so many good
players on this season.
Speaker 1: But people like Jenny and Harassio, I think they're.
Speaker 3: Just about like, yeah, they're just about the game and Ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they want to they want a fair fight. Yeah yeah,
best competitor wins, and that's not what the challenge is.
Speaker 3: It's no, you got the loopholes are part of the game. Yeah, yeah,
I think if they if we stick with it with
a team format. If we stick with a team format,
I think Ship. I don't even know. There's some really.
Speaker 1: Status first forty plus people. I don't.
Speaker 3: I feel like Gen two. I feel like Gen two
has a better team for it if they can keep
their heads in the game. So Jen three has Jordan
on it. Sh Jen three also has Laurel or Leroy
on it. I take them back. I think Genry, Gen
three Man final answer, Gen three.
Speaker 1: Steve gent three. If they keep it in pare, if
they keep it in teams, I think Gen three. But
Jen four is looking strong.
Speaker 3: But I know strong. But Jen three has people.
Speaker 6: But they also got They got THEO, they got Paulie,
they got Kylon, they got Jenny, they got Nourice, they
got Casey. I mean everybody except they're stacked.
Speaker 3: Every single team is stacked.
Speaker 6: That's the problem with the season. It's fantastic, so exciting.
Speaker 4: You just named two good people out of ten. Yeah, disagree,
Jenny and Jenny and Casey.
Speaker 6: Come on, but Ros is great too.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I guess if we had to go
for one winner, m I gotta go with Rachel. I
think she has some serious, serious potential.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's cool and I like her attitude. She's defending
production on social media. She is she really yeah, because
I mean, fel Lar bitching about production this season, and
she's just she's just like, hey, listen, guys, we're like
fucking reality and TV people like you can deal with
it for a few weeks. It's fine. She just very
seems very down to earth, and you.
Speaker 5: Know, I think I like her. I think Rachel's a
good pick because that's to say, if we only get
one winner, I feel like it has to be a woman,
because it'd be really weird if it's a man after
this episode zero point five of them being like best
women here and Rachel giving the toast to the women
and then have all that for a man to win
and be like, that's kind of weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think that if it's if it were
a guy, I think I mean Jordan always Jordan. I
love me some CT but I'm really worried that he's
going out early because of that that clip.
Speaker 5: That clip just.
Speaker 3: It's got me worried.
Speaker 6: I feel like they would showed that true it.
Speaker 5: Hmm.
Speaker 3: It scares me a little bit. I think THEO has
some serious potential to win. I think, like Laurel, Laurel
did well last season, but there were some caveats to
her win, like she only won after uh Steve completely
fucked up his ability to win and he shed barely
be Lara. I don't. I mean, Laurel's good, but I
don't feel like she's going to hold a candle to Jenny, Emily,
and Rachel. I feel like they're gonna and I wish
that Carr is in that same boat.
Speaker 5: We should have had Steve on this season.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of surprised that he's not.
Speaker 4: Steve's I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't think he's as good as everybody else on
the show.
Speaker 1: No he's not.
Speaker 3: But I just figured like, if they're gonna have John
Ay there, who was also not as good as everybody
else on this show. I think she does a good
job in All Stars, but I don't think she's gonna
be a do ship in this season.
Speaker 6: But she gets points for being partnered with Zach for
an entire season.
Speaker 1: Because oh yeah, that was a tough season for her too.
That was a tough one. That was a tough one,
bad season for her. Yeah, Steve for the season. I
think it's be great Steve.
Speaker 5: Were you a fan of Steve this last season?
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 6: He gave me kind of the ick, but I still
was a fan of him.
Speaker 5: I don't know what you guys got amazing.
Speaker 6: He's trying too hard to be a TV personality and
he's just a normal guy.
Speaker 3: Yep, I agree with that.
Speaker 6: I know I would never do that on TV model.
Speaker 1: Yeah he's a little try hard.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he's also he's good at competing, so yeah.
Speaker 1: But Banana Banana just try hard too. I think Zach
likes TV. Zach likes try hard people. Though, Zach, are
you're to try hard guys, I am.
Speaker 5: We don't want you going on TV and not trying.
That's why you don't get called back like Jenny.
Speaker 1: Fair enough.
Speaker 6: Like I'd say Jenny Rassio are very similar. They're not
good for TV, but they're really good game.
Speaker 1: That's I think that's exactly right, and that's why that's
why Jenny doesn't get called back so much. I don't
know why they keep calling Hirossio. He's just so good looking.
I guess boring motherfucker.
Speaker 3: He's connected to the race and the re starts a
lot of drama.
Speaker 1: That's got to be it, because that motherfucker is so dull.
Speaker 4: He is so long.
Speaker 6: So he has potential to carry the show if he
keeps going. Jenny West is almost forty, I think, I mean,
I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't think that he actually has potential of carrying
the show though, because he doesn't have the personality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's young, but that's all he has and he's
good looking. The guy is dull. This is like nothing
there dull.
Speaker 5: He better send a thank you note to nom for
being the worst competitor.
Speaker 3: Oh man, right, that poor guy. He had so many chances,
so many chances, and just.
Speaker 1: He's one though where it's sort of like I don't
need to see him again. I understand he got bad
luck and that sucks for him, but it's like four
times in a row, it's it's just not your sh
like it's not gonna have it for you.
Speaker 6: I saw a different show that he was on for
some sort of reality competition, and I can't tell you
what it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he just sort of makes the rounds
as the boring good looking do you think, well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Ryan in the chat room put up
this cast is awesome. Very few complaints, but it feels
like we're missing Smashly FESSEI wes Zach and Jenna. Yeah,
Zach and Jenna. They're never coming back together. Jenna is
probably never going to be allowed to come back again.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think Jenna's being back. I bet
Zach will come back.
Speaker 6: I don't think I actually got a phone call, but
she said no, oh really, that's what That's what Banana
talked about in his podcast this morning. And West is
too busy, you know, being a functioning adult.
Speaker 1: So and I agree with that, but it is weird
that West didn't come back. I mean like it is.
Speaker 3: But he also he also made a point of saying
the last show, the last season he was on, was
his last season.
Speaker 6: He also just had a baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I also feel like we're not missing anything, not having.
Speaker 1: This is this is all yeah, but still territory. I
know all that stuff, but it's still the fortieth season.
It's the biggest names of the challenge. And Wes is
in that conversation for sure, and he I don't know.
I just wanted him there. Well, when people retire, and
then I wish that he wouldn't have retired. As the point,
I wish he wouldn't have said that stupid ship after
USA two and done the done this one and then
said the stupid ship later.
Speaker 5: Well, Tim, he can come back for fifty.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's okay, that'll make it. That'll make it up
to me. Yeah, Wes is. Wes is the big one
for me that's missing. These others don't. I don't know. Like,
there are obviously names of the challenge, but they're Yeah,
they're not like icons of the challenge like Wes is.
Speaker 3: I don't care about the rest of them, and I
am bummed that Wes is not here this season.
Speaker 6: Do you have any involved at any point with like
a phone call or something maybe?
Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen that in the last few seasons
where they've he's called bananas or whatnot. So I could
see that just to be something kind of fun. I
could see Devin calling him.
Speaker 1: I could also that could be fun. That could be
a Devon phone call'd be great. They have a really
good Those two have a good dynamic.
Speaker 3: Are there any women that you guys can think I mean,
is there are there any other players you guys can
think of that you're kind of missing for this season
other than less?
Speaker 1: Oh, Evelyn. Evelyn's a great.
Speaker 3: I still hold still, I still hold true to She
and and Landon are never coming back.
Speaker 6: Isn't she She's a lawyer?
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, she's a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, there's people that are too too accomplished to
come back. Frank, Remember Frank, I forget what season he
was in. The old Frank, No, the even older Frank
from Vegas. Yes, yes, he's what one or two. Yeah,
it was one of those where he kept he kept
being thrown in and he kept beating everybody even though
he was like this little nerdy looking guy and now
he's like a big hedge fund manager. He's never coming
back either, but people want him to.
Speaker 5: I think another major name we're missing for women this Coral.
Speaker 6: Yeah, talking about a different woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, none of that was about Lisa, Julie. They were
talking about Julie.
Speaker 6: They were like, hey, here's a Lisa, and then it's
Coral talking about Julie. I don't think none of that
is Anisa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3: Finnd it find it a little strange that they played
that very very like quintessential choral like chral clip and
she wasn't even there, like yeah, bitches up. Yeah, it
was a little strange.
Speaker 4: That that's the quote for this episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is there.
Speaker 4: I would like to see Paula again, no hopes in
her like winning or anything. It would just be nice
to see her come back.
Speaker 5: I just don't know that. I know why it's not.
I know it's why it's not happening and never will.
But I would have loved to see Kenny.
Speaker 6: There just on Challenge Media.
Speaker 5: Kenny, He's just a Challenge in New York.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was just on Zach's podcast. I don't subscribe
to his page round, but I'm on MTV sub reddit
and people post about it.
Speaker 1: It seems like he's dipping his toe back into the
Challenge world, which is a little interesting, and it doesn't
seem totally welcome in this world.
Speaker 5: And I don't know how true this is, but I
know like there has been rumors that the people that
do All Stars as a separate entity, so people like him,
Evan Camilla who have been banned from the show would
not be banned from going on that show if the
show decided to have them.
Speaker 3: They do not need to see Camilla back.
Speaker 5: I don't think we would. I not need to see
her back, But I would not be mad as seeing
the Kenny or Evan on an All Stars.
Speaker 4: Mhm. I think they're better left his memories.
Speaker 1: I also I kind of agree.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 5: I guess you also make an argument for Sarah and
Susie on this season.
Speaker 6: They tried to come back. They were on the Same
Thing podcast talking about it.
Speaker 5: Apparently, Yeah, they wanted to be there.
Speaker 6: They made demands that wouldn't be met.
Speaker 1: Good good. I don't need to see I don't need
to see them again.
Speaker 5: But I think they got big because Susie said a
comment where like she's talking a producer and he's like, so,
what's your accomplishments? And she's like, what do you mean?
What are my accomplishments? Like he should know who she was, wh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she married one of the sound guys, so they
started their own podcast network.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's fair, though, what like, like if
if if you're calling up someone to be on the
show and you're a producer, you should know who you're
calling if.
Speaker 1: You know, this is like junior producer that's making phone
calls and Susy hasn't been on the show for fifteen years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a twenty two year old person calling, He's probably
just like handed a list of names and numbers, being like,
hey see if these people would be interested.
Speaker 4: I don't care. It's your job to fucking know. I
wish I was a junior producer on this show.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't like that attitude from Susy. Yeah, that seems
like she's that's a yeah for.
Speaker 3: A really long time. I really wanted to see both
her and Sarah back on the show. I really liked
both of them. I listened to their podcasts like every
week was Super Game with them, and then it got
to a point I got a few years into it
and it just you could I felt like I could
hear their heads just getting bigger and bigger and bigger,
and there was something about it.
Speaker 5: They they both brought me the wrong way. That is,
so I have the exact same experience with their podcast, Carlin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the only one.
Speaker 4: So for for all studies four, if they called uh
Cyrus and they're like, tell me your accomplishments, you'd be like, oh,
that's fine, you should have to explain.
Speaker 5: Themsel Yeah, it looks like twenty two year old fresh
out of college.
Speaker 1: Yep, but we don't.
Speaker 4: But we don't know that that's what it was.
Speaker 1: No, But I also think it's okay for even a
even a like even a CT or a West or
something spend three minutes to be like, oh, well, I've
been on twelve seasons, I've won four, I made the
final on six, uh my lamination records. This like just
fucking say, like, don't act like you're too big to
talk to this producer fucking talk for thirty seconds about
what you did. It's not a big deal.
Speaker 4: But they're calling you to be on this show, Like
why are you so having to audition because they want
you to come back on their show?
Speaker 1: Well then don't, right, then don't, but you and you work.
Speaker 4: For that show, Like they should know who they're calling.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess I don't understand the point of
being insulted that they didn't though, Like, if you don't
want to play the game, you don't want audition, then don't.
But I don't understand that point of being like, you
don't know my reg you didn't watch my seasons from
fifteen years ago, Like, well of course they didn't. This
kids was probably five years old and that show was on.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: And plus they're just trying to figure out who's available
and wants to do it. I'm sure they didn't lose
any sleep over Sara and Susie telling them no. They're
probably just like, Okay, we got like fifty other women
that want your spot, so this is great.
Speaker 1: This is probably a five minute availability call, not a
deep dive into your past. This is probably just real
quick like are you interested? Are you interested? Or not, like,
tell me what you did, that's all it should be.
It's just well, then they gotta watch twenty episodes of
the season or the twenty seasons before they start calling
people from the list, Like I don't know, I.
Speaker 4: Can literally pull up read it.
Speaker 1: Yea, if Carlin is if Carlin is yit still I
guess that's it. That's a problem because Carlin is that
carln talks all the time.
Speaker 4: Yes, and it's not even television.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying I want you.
Speaker 1: Guys say that I'm right and I'm not gonna drop
it until you do. And so I can tell me.
Speaker 5: As far as Wolfe's Wikipedia thing goes, like someone like
Evelyn her Wikipedia would look awful, but if you see
her on the show, she's great, but she doesn't have
the huge resume on Wikipedia to look good.
Speaker 3: All right, well it doesn't.
Speaker 4: Look I have I have to call this person. I
don't know why they want them, but hey, would you
like to do the show?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: I would, Okay, I'll mark.
Speaker 3: You down as it should be something literally.
Speaker 6: Don't you find out if somebody can find her number
and call as a junior producer show.
Speaker 4: See what she's saying, Steve, you're you're a junior producer
for the show. Figure it out.
Speaker 6: I hope she doesn't listen.
Speaker 4: See how easy?

this season like a beautiful tapestry. We're putting together a

be doing in Chicago. It's gonna be awesome. And a
book book full of like Challenged history photos merch that

we've lost along the way. It's part of the Challenge history.
Of course, from the booklet. I would love to hear
stories from you guys, listeners that have listened to us
for like a very long time, stories that you've just
stories that you associate with the show. It could be fun,
fun edition, and yes, way to patribute to the show
that we love and the podcast that maybe some of
you have.

Speaker 1: I've got like eight songs, No, there's if there's more
songs that one included, we can.
Speaker 4: Put more songs in or wait, are these songs? I
thought that was like special moments for this.
Speaker 1: Well, so I don't want to spend the time to
do that if I'm being real honest. If you guys
would like to spend the time to go through and
find them and edit them, send them to me, or
if listeners have like episode time stamps, I'll do.
Speaker 4: It that way. Maybe we could set up a voicemail line.
People could call in and tell us their favorite moments
from the podcast that could then be put on the record.
But maybe this is a Patreon exclusive. If you're a patreo,
you could call it and tell us tell us some
of your favorite.
