What's up, everybody.

This is Scott Yeager here for another edition of Challenge Mania, or as my guest here

would say, well, well, well, we're here live in New York City at Gotham Production Studios. That's right. Up in our game a little bit, Challenge Mania 2.0 for an episode brought to us by Chicago Bowls, where you can meet this guy, bowl alongside and maybe tuck that beard a little bit. Go to Challengeia. Live for tickets. That's March 1st.

We got, oh yeah, doing the, yeah, doing the, what's the other one? Yeah. Mark Long, we've got Amber Borzotra, Melinda, your real world, Austin co-star as well as Aviv. Running out of tickets, though, so go get them today. I, of course, am joined here in New York City by the great Weston Bergman. What's up, brother?

Oh, not much.

What a podcast studio you guys have upgraded to. Hey. Who would have thought that Derek Kaczynski would make his way all the way up here? Yeah, if you didn't come for me, you came for D. Sadly, this is the second episode in a row, whether we're putting this or the car episode

up, that does not have Derek. Derek is in the big D right now, Disney World, which my wife and I love.

Are you Disney people? My wife tells me I'm destined for that soon. Yeah. But I have not one percent

desire to go at all. Yeah. So Disney is a lot of planning now. Everything's like reservations.

Yesterday, literally yesterday at six, we had to wake up at 5 a.m. because at 6 a.m.

It hit the 60 day window from our next trip, which means we had to make every single

reservation within like 20 minutes of it opening up. So we're sitting there and we're like the

fact that we got Cinderella's royal table, we felt like we were American psycho Patrick Bateman getting a reservation at Dorcia. We were like, we got it. We got Cinderella's royal table. Awesome. But that's, we're Disney maniacs. We're Disney adults, as they call us on Twitter. So interesting. I hope that's not my future. Well, you, it will be at one point. You have an adorable daughter. She will at one point want to go, but probably before that, Amanda will want her to go. Yeah, that's where we're at right now. But I think she's leaning towards Disneyland because that would be easier as much. Very self-contained. You can maybe get some meetings out of it out in the great Los Angeles general area. I mean, not many meetings happening out in Anaheim. Yeah, but it's 40 minutes away, whatever, you know, turn into a week-long thing. But when you do it, you got to come and talk to me about it on Disneymania. Oh, you have a podcast? Lindsay and I, we do it a couple times a year when we're prepping for a trip or after a trip. We take questions. you'd be surprised. There's a lot of Disney adults out there. We're a safe space for them. I'm not that surprised.

I've got two girlfriends alone that have affiliate Instagram accounts that talk about Disney. So I'm assuming that they get kickbacks or preferential. Maybe, but I'll say this. It's what's cool about it is that everything's in the same place, right? You don't have to

like drive anywhere. There's a lot of public transportation. And it does appeal to the like,

if you're a planner, like, I know you do a lot of planning, but I don't know if you like it. My wife and I, we like it. Like we liked planning our wedding. We like, you know, sort of getting our schedule in order. And there's a little bit of that. It's like a trip that you definitely have to plan

and then you see it play out. And that could be overwhelming for some people. But if it's like

in your DNA, I think that's

what the Disney adults love it. It's like, it's like, because it has none of the pretentious. Like you're not waiting online to get into a club and they might like look at your outfit and be like you can't get in. But there is a bit of like, yeah, I got into be our guest at seven.

Nice.

Interesting.

Yeah, it sounds horrible.
