Welcome to the Pat Meow Experience, Presented by DraftKings. It's time folks. The Challenge 36, Fantasyly, Double Agents, Premiers, December 9th or whatever the Second Wednesday is in December.

Whatever day that is, we are running the Fantasy game again. You want to play in the free fantasy game for the challenge, hit the description of the video and podcast or podcast should I say and sign up. It's free to play.

You have six picks in your draft. You have a salary cap of a thousand dollars. Each player has a salary next to it. You can pick five guys and one girl. You can pick six women. If you want to, it doesn't matter how you construct your team as long as your salary cap is below one thousand dollars for each of your six.

You fill it out once at the beginning of the year. That's it. And then you let it ride all the way through. For the love of God, do not look at spoilers.

Is this spoiler free show? We don't want anything ruined by this because you can look, go look up spoilers if you want. I don't want to hear about them. It's my favorite thing that I get to watch outside of sports in real time.

And it can be spoiled for me. Please do not spoil it for me. I will find a way to cyber bill you if it comes down to that. If you ruin this for me.

My wife and I enjoy watching it. It's what we do on Wednesday nights. I don't live an exciting life anymore. This is all I got. So please let me enjoy the challenge. Let me enjoy the fantasy game.

I believe it's 250 or 300 people for league number one. Once that feels will restart another one of the least because they tend to fill pretty often. Please share the show around. Post it on Reddit.

Share it on social media. Let's get as many people in this as possible the scoring you can go look that up on the site. But generally the best thing you can do is win the season but periodically confessionals hook and up throw in a fit yelling, crying, having sex, getting kicked off the show all the fun parts of reality TV.

That scores bo-ko points going forward. So you have to think about that too when you're making your picks also of your six players you get to designate one as your captain. And that is going to be worth. I believe it's 10% more points 20% more points.

Whatever is it's just additional bonus points 10% additional bonus points for each episode in terms of scoring. So those are the rules. Pick wisely. Like I said tell some friends share it around and smash the like button for this episode and tell me your single favorite challenger of all time.

Is it I don't know Montana from the gauntlet to maybe probably not. But you can be anyone it can be someone from the battle of the seasons battle of the sexes battle of the seasons to from last season.

If you're new to the challenge it doesn't really matter. So once again smash like tell me your favorite challenger in the description. Those are the rules you can find the link in the description as well highly recommended everyone.

Check out the Pat Mayo experience but throughout the course of the season we will be doing recaps. I will not be doing recaps for the show the good folks at the challenge chronicles which is going to be a recap show for each of the episodes plus they've been doing a rewatch of all of the old seasons.

They're just through the island as of this recording right now and one of the members of that podcast which will be airing on Mayo Media Network this year. So not weekly recaps from me anymore. I'll step in from time to time. I'm sure. But they're going to be ones doing it. I suggest you go check out their back catalogs on Apple Spotify wherever Rob McIntyre is on the line from the challenge chronicles and the guy who does the fantasy scoring for this you cheating again this year.

That has never been the case. I don't know exactly where you're getting this information from but I am beyond fired up for this season. So I'm ready to go after one pretty mediocre season two seasons ago and just a travesty last year despite an optimal outcome for me and my fantasy team with Johnny bananas.

Last season suck man it was bad. Oh it was so the second half of the first half was like inconsistent the second half was such a mess. He's in beforehand. I thought the first half was actually really good but then the second half again kind of tailed off. So we've kind of been in a mojo where the first half slept in the second half lately.

But we've also been in a thing to where I really like 30 30 and then I didn't like and that is a final reckoning as much. And then again I love world's one I thought that was one of the best season ever and the two seasons after that I thought we're a little bit down. So it looks like we're on the upswing here.

Also on the line because we're doing a draft today we're going to go through each of the players and draft our own teams not necessarily for the league because you can pick whoever you want in the league as long as you're below the salary cap once someone has picked an hour draft.

You can no longer take said person Paul Sean so you does the recap show with me normally is behind the camera he's also drafting as well but also joining me on the line Tony Nios. I got to ask you.

Are you a proponent because this is why I hated last season it was dark it was in a bunker it wasn't fun. I want my challengers to be in the sun. I want them to be drinking. I want them to be having fun. That's my favorite part of the challenge. People haven't fun. Do you think it's a bit too serious.

I mean I like I first of all I agree with you they need to have some fun. I think this season though should be better just because they're not going to be able to like go out like crazy so they should theoretically be giving them more alcohol.
