Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Challenge Rivals 3 for a half-up podcast for episode four.

I am Brian Cohen. Here with me as always is my co--s, Ali Lesser. Allie, how are you? I'm doing great. I have to admit, I'm in vacation mode here. I'm off the next couple of days because I am in a wedding. I know it's shocking that somebody would like me enough to include me in their wedding. I'm surprised too. Um, but I'm, I'm doing great and enjoying this, uh, pre-memorial day

weekend. How are you doing, Brian? I was going to say a memorial day weekend. That's an

interesting choice. I like it because some people don't like it during a three-day weekend,

but it's on Saturday. It's not on Sunday. So you get that

built-in extra day when you get back. And it's like one of my best friends. So I'm happy to be with them

during Memorial Day weekend. Okay. That's fair. I was always like some of those holidays,

you don't want to like block off like Memorial Day, July 4th Labor Day. I think those three weekends

are a little iffy on weddings, but that Labor Day. I think those three weekends are a little

iffy on weddings, but that's good. I think people feel more upset about New Year's Eve, but for me,

really, that's actually the one I would like. You know, I'll never understand you, Brian.

Because New Year's Eve is like one of the worst days of the year. It's incredibly overrated.

And now it's like it's a good opportunity to do something fun.

Fair enough.

I feel bad for you on your New Year's Eve. It's always overpriced bars or crowded apartments. That it's not fun. Not fun. Yeah, I don't disagree. But for the same reason, it's like if you're from Jersey or the East Coast on one of these, like, patriotic beach holidays, you know, you're just schlepping at the beach to be a part of a crowd.

True.

True.

But we digress.

Yeah.

I've actually discovered the secret to enjoying the challenge this season.

That secret is rosé.

That's it.
