Hello

It's the recap of MTV

Your host, Allie and Brian C

and a drunk end of R&E

you don't like this song that don't I hate me.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome back to the challenge.

Spies, Lies, and Allies are up podcasts for the premiere.

I am Brian Cohn.

You're in the as always my co-list.

All right.

How are you?

Don't call it a comeback.

Call it not enough time off, but we're back. I'm just proud I didn't screw up the title. First episode out, one for one. I'm good. Well, you could do like TJ and not say the title until three quarters of the way through the episode. Or I could be like TJ. It only show up as like a computerized version of himself. Hey, these are hard times. COVID times. You get the hologram. Better than nothing. Polygram podcast coming out yet. But no, I, so, you know, I have a negative attitude once in a while, like you sue me. But I think we both, I don't want to speak for you but i think we both were a little surprised with how quickly this season came back i don't know that a mid-august drop i just did have

to check the calendar because it was a short month we were in is like the most typical drop for a

network's like biggest show or one of their biggest

shows no especially because they were it was even extended even more because they obviously

had the all stars one which i think could you to continue on for what three or four weeks

after the regular one ended so yeah so even even including that were even what six week uh hiatus um yeah

i was more expecting later this winter but uh here we are they They turned this around. Like, they must have just stopped filming like two weeks ago. And I'm like, all right, here we go. Here's the season. But I was very excited watching this episode. I was very excited watching the preview. You actually reminded me with your tweet about it that I had to watch it. So thank you for that. Great content over at Cohen Bryant underscore. Yeah, I do more prep for the show than the show does itself. You know, dropping that on a Monday night with no buzz. All the previews said, watch out for the challenge dropping August 11th. Oh, by the way, episode zero on Monday night. Uh, yeah. Maybe,

maybe do it like the week before to say the show premieres on August 4th. You know, just try doing that one. So despite how immensely critical we're being, I'm really happy to be back. I am happy to be talking about the season. I'm jazzed about the new people. and I'll have a lot to complain about as we go on, but for now, I'm excited.

Yeah, I'm excited.
