What's up, everybody? This is Scott Yeager here with another edition of Challenge Accepted.

0:27.1

That's right, challenge accepted. If you don't know yet, is my full Q&A podcast. I go to

0:32.0

challengemaniacs.com. Let you guys submit topics and questions, comments, concerns, whatever you

0:36.9

want can be about

0:37.9

anything, the challenge, or anything else under the sun. And I get to answer them without having to

0:43.1

cater to a guest or move on to the next thing. There is no running clock here. And there is

0:49.9

nothing that's off limits. So it's a really a great place for me to info dump, let you guys know

0:54.0

what we have playing in the challenge mania universe. And to hear what's on your guys's mind. And sometimes it's challenge related, sometimes it's other show related, sometimes you guys have recommendations for me or want to get my thoughts on a on a movie or a rumor or something like that. So that's what this is for. So if you didn't come for me, you came for D, your shit out of luck. No Derek on this podcast. No guest on this podcast. It's really just, it's me, Scott Yeager. So if this podcast is brought to you by anything, it's brought to you by challengemaniacs.com, which of course takes you to our Patreon. I've said it

2:15.5

since, which don't get me wrong.

2:22.2

I've kind of kept one foot in the, in the pool, especially the development pool.

2:28.9

And Mark Long and I and some other colleagues of mine and I have tried to kind of get some projects off the ground and sell some shows and things like that.
