We got Derek Kaczynski, and we are joined once again by our man. It's been a minute, Mr. Leroy, Gary. What's up? Y'all, thanks for having me. Sorry, my bro. I just try to down some water real quick. But happy to be back, man. Happy to support Chalmers Media You know I love y'all, bro. We like family. We are family. We are family. We are family. Yeah, I'd like to say. So I feel like we got a lot closer after last episode as well. I mean, the fact that it's like a big Leroy week for us, I mean, we haven't had you at Challenge Mania Live, a real Challenge Mania Live, a true Challenge Mania Live, like they're going to get this weekend. So really appreciate you, you know, showing up for us and being here. I think the last time we had you on was when we inducted you into the Challenge Mania Hall of Fame. And I think it was just a brief moment, but today we'll get, we'll get a little bit more

more time with you.

I want to kind of dive right into the drama here because I, I really didn't realize

that in last night's episode, I want to get to the retiring and unretiring and just kind

of like like you know

you know just knocking challenges out now too but like i i just took my notes and i just realized

at the last night i'm retired again i'm retired i can't do anymore i mean you got america as your

partner agreed to that um and also you got no votes.

CT was calling for you, wanted to put you into elimination, was asking for you, and you got no votes.

I'm looking back at my notes here.

And it's five votes to Theo and uh uh two votes to me and d two votes to uh

anisa or um john a john a and gave yep johnny and gave got two votes and they were both burn votes

and you got none yeah um i mean i'm not surprised by that you know the only time that

i go into elimination is if i come in last place is as very rare my career have i ever been voted in

now granted nobody's really worried about america and i i i see but even still say we were this

big threat i had i had the numbers at that

point to where I wasn't going to be to give me votes and I understand why CT wanted me

him and Tay wanted a American I probably was they probably thought it was like the easiest

team to go against which could be true or not true depending on what it is but But yeah, I knew that's how it would play out.

I knew there was no chance that I was going to actually get any votes or actually go in.

Derek, I want to ask you a question because this reminds me of a couple weeks ago
