It's the reason of MTV host Ali and Brian C. and the dog and a party to people like this song, but don't mind me.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Challenge USA where I have a podcast for the premiere.

I am Brian C. with me, as always, is like those alias here. How are you?

I'm sure this is going to be a problem for the podcast, but I really just as I started to gather my thoughts for this podcast, I just couldn't help but think I cannot believe Rob is letting us do this.

I can't believe that. I can't believe this is the thing. Like as I was watching these people like do these stunts and interact with TJ, this feels like a brand steel on the life.

This is like in correction, I might gloom and rob would have in their lab and they would spend like a six hour podcast. They go, what would happen if CBS Big Brother, Love Island computer on the challenge?

We were like, like, this would never happen. And now it's actually happening. It's crazy that this is real.

It is so surreal. I mean, to not like the labor, the end of this podcast anymore, like, are much longer.

You know, for anyone who might be joining us, right? Like we're Brian and Ali and we've been talking about this show for eight or iterations of the show for eight years.

I'm sure they know you. I'm Brian, the Ali's bill has. I mean, I'm sure throughout the season will discuss on my way of breaking every single bridge burning every bridge with me and every other RJP person. So don't worry about it.

But I really never imagined we started this journey that the challenge would grow, right? Like we joined it on season.

And what, just 30, 29, 20, I think three agents was 28, 28 or 25, 20, something like that. I mean, in the late 20s.

In the prime of its life, but really, I think it felt like it wasn't in the prime. It was like I was still loving it.

I didn't really know anybody else who was watching it and much like survivor before I found RJP.

And you know, let's see how, like let's ride this train to the wheels. Come off, but like how long could this go? How many more seasons could the challenge really go? And since we started the podcast, I mean, I'm not going to do credit for it. No, but like really the challenge has exploded culminating with it being adopted to CBS prime time, baby.

And here we are.

It's wow, Julie Chen being like coming up next is the challenge. And it's like I wanted to fall off my chair. Like what, what universe are we in that this is where we are. It's crazy.

And I think all the people that hated on the challenge when they started bringing in new shows back with R.U.

The one that was the start of this. Like this, this would not exist if they didn't break the show barrier by bringing R.U.

So we really want to thank for this. Is R.U. the one they brought this.

That's interesting not to disagree with you immediately, but which was otherwise a nice moment. So sorry, sorry to everyone.

I really feel like if we're going to point to something, it's got to be like that because I'll put myself in the line of fire where I feel like R.U. the one makes more sense.
