This episode with Leroy was great. Love that he’s back and the props he gave to D! I love everything you all do for the challenge
I’ve been a fan of the challenge since before the challenge existed when it was just real world and road rules. So sometimes I see your stacked guest lineup and I get really excited to hear from these people who we maybe haven’t seen or heard from in years, if not a decade.

i have been listening since the stitcher radio era, sub to the patreon, etc, but have never left a review - this podcast has been getting better and better. i want to give a shout out to scott, whose commentary has been so good recently. it’s never been better than this week’s episode with wes. wes and scott were both at the top of their podcast game: they go from show commentary to social commentary with ease; blend recaps and behind the scenes tidbits seamlessly. 10/10 no notes.
How can you be ok with 20+ minutes of ads before content?! Wild.
