Hello, everyone. Welcome to the challenge final reckoning rap, wrap up podcast for the premiere. I am Brian Cohn.

Here with me as always is my co-coast

Al Leisure. How are you?

We are back. I am so excited to be back.

I feel like I'm not always super excited to be back,

but we had like an decent break to the point where I was like missing the challenge.

Yeah, well, I actually saw a note that last week, including like the pros and Joe stuff,

was like the first week in about a year and a half where I'm not even making this where

there was not a challenge episode on in any form.

So I think we're already after like one week of a no challenge on on TV.

Joe's versus bro.

I don't know her. He's there and then the redemption house too. They're coming back in a couple weeks. Did you have ever watched an episode that you were watching it, right? You just weren't podcasting it? I watched the first one. And then I need like, I need that time as my like mental like reboot into the challenge world.

So I take those eight weeks off.

And then I hope not missing anything.

We kind of miss a little bit of something for one team.

But other than that, I don't think we miss much.

We've been gone a while.

Anything new in your life, Brian?

Anything at all interesting happen while we've been away?

Yes.

So personally, I had a nice little moment.

I had someone go with me into like the perfect match little beam.
