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

Mania. This episode brought to you by Challenge Mania Live. Minneapolis, we're talking about

Friday, July 31st, Surly Brewing Company, and there are still some tickets available. Tina,

Bridges, Mark Long, and myself, more guests to announce. I think maybe one of those guests might be here today. We're about to talk to him. We'll see he's touched baseball coming to Minneapolis. We'll go get your tickets to that and all of our shows at challenge mania. Live. If you want to be watching our interviews in addition to listening to them, if you want them early and ad-free. If you want first access to tickets, go to challengemaniacs.com and join the pod squad.

All right, you didn't come for me, you came for D, and you came for P, who also now comes for the D if you didn't pay attention a couple years ago to his coming out party. Ladies and gentlemen, join me as always, Mr. Derek Kaczynski and Mr. Pauli Kalfiore.

How are you, brother? I'm great. Wow, that was right off the cuff. You must be a season

pro with this. You know, it's been a few episodes now. Yeah. I prefer to call you the Firestarter.

Or the challenge arsonist. The challenge arsonistist i like these nicknames if we're going the

w wwee route oh do it again i'm so glad you didn't say what i thought you were going to say for a second

i was like but no challenge arsonist is a good term i like the challenge arsonist when you heard that

what did you think of that i i loved it i i think that was very fair. I was, I was very impressed that Dee came up with that right on the spot. I like the fire starter. I like the challenge arsonist. I'm all those things. Yeah, that's surprising that you would say you'd like something about me because apparently you hate all the OGs so we'll get

into that and I can't wait. I want to get into like all the fires that you've been in in the challenge

university. Maybe go back to some of your big brother days with some former, you know, challengers that

came out of that season as well like like Natalie and maybe Zakiya.

I don't know.

I think people tend to forget. That's like where we started our journey with Polly or Polly. Do you prefer Polly or Polly? You could call me Polly. I like Polly. You know, sometimes we slip the pole places that it shouldn't be. I don't know. Polyamorous over here. Polyamorous. Yeah. But no, wait.

Not apologetic.

You know, it's funny, you joked, you know, that we've done this few times. Polly amorous over here. Polyamorous. Yeah. But no, wait.

Not a polygetic.

You know, it's funny.

You joked, you know, that we've done this a few times.

Challenge mania's been around the block for a while, but you just started a podcast venture, right? You and Devin Walker, right? Pauley and Debs, I believe, is a call him? Yeah, the Pauley and Dev show. We were talking for a while.
