Hello everyone, welcome to the challenge. All stars, three were haphapapakas for their

premiere. I am Brian Thone, good to meet you. It's a great pleasure. All right, how are you?

Brian, I am feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, relaxed, rested, and rehearsed because we did have

a false start intro, but now we are back and we are ready to cover what you have widely announced

and publicized as our 19th season of MTV coverage, not just challenge, but MTV coverage.

19th season probably the longest gap of time we've ever had between seasons. We took more time

off them, Melinda's ankle, so we're in pretty good shape. I'm panicked now because did I say 19 years?

I definitely said 19 seasons, right? I don't think I have no idea. Hopefully.

Hopefully. You know what's exciting about you making a big stink and falsely advertising the way

the podcast got started over 19 seasons is that like we know what the 20th season is going to be.

Our eyes are on the horizon. We're looking at the horizon and the 20th season of coverage is

coming up in a few months and yet we made a big deal out of 19. I love that.

I would say even better is that the 20th season for us is going to involve a total of zero people

that have ever been on the challenge before, which is so perfect.

Although I guess technically it's not, it's 20 seasons of us podcasting together because

that wouldn't be 20 seasons of MTV coverage and it can't just be challenged coverage because we're

counting. Are you the one? And technically not to get Kyle Picard on our case, but we did

talk about the Pepsi drink commercial show. So that could be 20. Here's the thing. As I argued with

Rob, that show got announced. That is not an independent season of television.

That's a commercial. We covered a commercial. Is it on their IMDB? Do you think it is?

I mean commercials are on people's IMDBs, right? Like I did a Pepsi spot or something.

But if it says like each episode, who is even one person on that show? Natalie Nagradi.
