go to challenge mania dot live and there's a slew of events where you can meet the godfather Mark Long. He'll be a part of some of our shows and events with Derek. And then when Derek can't make it, you know Mark Long is our first call. So we want to give back to the big guy. He's got a project he's working on. It's called The Mark Long Show. This guy's been on TV since 1995. He's got a rolodex as long as his socks are. And that's because he's got some big feet, some big shoes to fill, and no one can fill him. And that's why we always call the man himself. And we would love you to go and check out the Mark Long Show.com and check out his first episode. I don't even need to sell you on it because as I said, it's a guess we haven't even had here on challenge mania yet. I'm a little bit jealous. I've got a little fomo. He got his girl Jen Grahalva. That's right, Raiders cheerleader Jen, real world Denver, uh, challenge mainstay for a while. We've been dying to have her on, so we haven't even had her on yet. I can only imagine this is probably just one of many guests. Mark Long is going to pull out of the woodwork. He'll have a few aces in the hole, I am sure. He is one of the staples of reality television. He's a staple of challenge mania. And he sent me a little sneak

so you're going to want to check that out. But without further ado, here we go. A little sneak peek

2:22.4

of the Mark Long Show with Jen Grahalva.

2:42.2

Do I think you would relate to the other moms or dads, whatever, and connect on that level of being a parent?

2:42.6

Of course.

2:49.5

But like, if you're there, I couldn't see Derek, your guy going, hey, just go have a fun time.

2:52.0

He'd probably say, go have a fun time, but try to win.

3:09.5

Am I right or wrong? Yeah, his motto is if you're not first, you're last. So, I mean, we're, he's, he's my competitive, um, he's the one that keeps him dialed in. Like, he's, he's, he's all about it. And if you go, you're going to go to win. I mean, I'm not taking time with my family to go and just say, okay, I did the trip and, you know, I'm going to play nice to make friends. I don't even make

3:10.7

friends. Like, they all live around the world. I'm not going to see these people again. I mean, I'm not open to friendship, but, you know, I'm not there to make friends. I'm there to win. I'm there to win some money and go home, which is such a different mindset because back in the

3:22.6

challenge days, I didn't give a shit.

3:24.5

I went to go hang out, you know what I mean? And that's why I played the game, got myself the longest, you know, stay there to get to the finale. And when it came down to it, I was never money motivated. And I didn't care about the prize. The prize for me was making it to the end. I was happy. I got to hang out with my friends. I got to go do, you know, shows after that.

3:59.0

As long as I stayed in the game, I would be asked to come back, you know. And so it was fun. But now it's like, no, go to win. Go to win, come home, go back to life. I love that. Challengers beware. All right. Come on, guys. After that, tease, you know you want to hear the rest of the interview. head to the mark longshow.com.

4:31.6

And not only do you get awesome interviews like that, straight from the mind and mouth of the godfather Mark Long. He's also got some bonus content that nobody else has access to. We're talking about stuff like the unaired pilot that sold road rules. That's right. Mark Long was a part of that. But none of the other original cast members on Road Rules were on that. So don't think we're talking about episode 1 of Road Rules Season 1. We're talking about the unaired pilot. The only people who have seen this are the executives, the people who sold the show, and the lucky folks who were in the audience with us at our Road Rules 30 event last July in Los Angeles. We did air it there in the house, but trust me, you might even be able to see this if
