Speaker 1 (00:10):
What's up everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Scott here, just wanted to update you on the awesome
challenge Mania Live schedule for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
As always, you.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Can get tickets at Challengemania dot Live. You will notice
we have a few weeks off here. It's very rare
that we have a several week off break, but trust me,
we are going to hit the ground running beginning on
November fifteenth. And that month off does mean we only
have three more shows left on the docket now. Is
it possible we attempt to throw in a viewing party
(00:39):
at some point, maybe something here in New York City possibly,
But just looking at it, and it looks like these
might be the last three Challenge Mania events this year.
I said it kicks off on November fifteenth, and BOYD
does a kickoff with a bang Saturday in Buffalo November fifteenth. Advice,
if you guys were there last year, we're at the
same place. They're doing an awesome breakfait sprunch for us.
(01:01):
They're doing Challenge Mania cocktails and man, do we have
a fun lineup to spend an afternoon hanging out with
on a Saturday in Buffalo. Devin Walker, Michelle Fitzgerald Anissa
Ferreira Tory dial many of those the first time we
have brought them to the Buffalo Market. Mark Long will
be there with me and Derek McCrae. If you haven't
heard Derek's episode on the podcast earlier this year. Trust me,
(01:22):
he's going to be a fun guy to have and
he is a Bill's Mafia guy as well. Loves the
Bills and you know we'll be hanging out with the
Bills and the Bills Mafia and Game Day Hospitality on
Sunday as well.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But if you want to get.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Tickets for our event on Saturday and something very special
that we're offering at that Buffalo event, we never offer
this is just not really possible time wise with a
lot of our events. We have a professional photographer coming
and one of the ticket teers comes with a very
rare photo opportunity to get a photo of you and
every single cast member that is there. It is an
awesome opportunity to get a keepsake that you can cherish forever.
(01:56):
You can frame it, trust me. Look, selfies are allowed
and things like that. Don't worry, but this is going
to be awesome you and everybody. We will send it
to you after it's a great chance to get a
photo with Tory, Michelle, Devin, everybody that is in the
house in Buffalo, So get your tickets for that.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
A Challenge Mania dot Live the following week.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yes, I said, we're hitting the ground running the following week,
which is November twenty second.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
That's Nashville.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We're hitting Nashville in style, coming back to City Winery,
gorgeous room. You know, we can't do Music City without
some music, so we are going to have Johnny Bananas
perform some music, probably at the end of the show.
He's bringing his guitar. He loves to perform, he loves
to sing. That should be a lot of fun. But
Johnny Banana's headlines an awesome lineup. We just added two
guests too. We just added de Via Daris. Big shouts
(02:39):
to Derek and d for winning that daily challenge this
week on season forty one. D will be there to
talk about it and maybe some of that romance that
went on in the first few weeks with Johnny Bananas.
Who knows, maybe they rekindle it in Music City. Tickets
of course available at Challenge Mania dot Live. It's not
just Johnny and d and John a Manion and Derek.
It's also Mark Long and Katie Cooley and we may
(02:59):
even have more guests to announce for Nashville, one of
our favorite places to come to. So get your tickets
for that at Challenge Mania dot Live right now. That's
November twenty second. Now, our next Challenge Mania is December thirteenth,
but I am making a pit stop in the Orlando,
Florida area for the Celebrity Weekend Over the Edge Celebrity
Weekend it is that first weekend in December. I'll get
(03:19):

will be there, John A will be there, I believe
Mariah will be there. Tons of the New Threats are
gonna be there, so I believe Adam and Avery so

go to this thing. I've been dying to go for years.

the Michael J. Fox Foundations for Parkinson's research. If you

the Edgelebrity Weekend that's through them. So if you just
google Over the Edge Celebrity Weekend and you get all

like that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's a whole weekend affair. I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You stay at the place, the resort, the hotel where
the cast members stay. So it's a really fun kind
of Wrestle Connie kind of thing. So check that out.
That's what I'm doing in the first half of December
and then our last.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Show of the year.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's already sold out sadly, but I will run through
it briefly Saturday, December thirteenth, in the Dallas area Plano
to be exact, mic Drop Comedy Club. They took over
the old House of Comedy that when we went there.
Let me just say it needed to be taken over.
And luckily our good friends Hillary and Casey from the
mic Drop Comedy Club group. I guess you could say
they own this gorgeous club in San Diego. They've now
(04:48):
taken over this one. They send me pictures redid the
green room. They gave it their classic sort of purple
fairy tale vibe that if you've been to their shows
in San Diego, you've seen so we love it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We're excited to be back.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Show has sold out, Carl Maria CT, Jeremy Justin, myself,
Tina Derek, So that's sold out. Probably not getting tickets
to that. I don't want to make you jealous, don't
want to give your pomo. In January, I am going
to be on the Reality Extravaganza Cruise by Showroom Travel.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
If you go to Showroom Reality Cruise, I believe you
can still get cabins for that. Let him know.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Scott from Challenge Many has sent you awesome lineup for that.
Jordan Wiseley, Kyle Wes, We've got Rachel Tina, So I
know you maybe haven't heard about that in a while,
but it is still.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Set to set sail in January. We're very excited.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I of course we'll be hosting Challenge Mania live style
panels on that and that might be the only time
to see Jordan on a Challenge many alive who knows,
So come and check that out if you are free.
Martin Luther King weekend in January, that of course is
the fifteenth through the nineteenth and Showroom reality cruise where
you get all the info for that once again, let
him know Scott Yeager from Challenge Manias sent you and
then get you all set up for that. So excited
(05:54):
for that, And that's the only thing I formally have
on the dock at for twenty twenty six. I am
staring at a calendar like Russell Crowe in Beautiful Mind,
like zach Alifanakis in The Hangover and with the Math.
I am just trying to figure out how to put
together a gigantic web of events and fun for you
guys for twenty twenty six. The only thing we sort
of have earmarked right now is beginning of August. I
(06:16):
believe we're going to be coming back to Minnesota. Minneapolis,
I know you were a great turnout this past year.
This year, I should say, so, we are going to
be back. We're gonna do it a Summer Slam weekend.
I'm trying to figure out when exactly to drop that
event into the weekend so it doesn't interfere too much
with your guys, a SummerSlam plan. So Minneapolis, just know
you are on our radar. So guys, we will see
you in twenty twenty six. Stay tuned for news on
(06:38):
events and weekends starting in January. Obviously February March coming
very very soon. Great way to get infos challenge maniacs
dot com. Yes, we want you to join the pod squad.
Sign up, get the bonus content that normally comes at
fifteen dollars or above. Feel free to even contribute a dollar.
You'll get a lot more posts, and then you can
even get free emails and alerts. You'll never miss an announcement,
You'll never miss an on sale opportunity, even if you
(06:59):
say up as a free member. So that's a great
way to decide if you want to sign up for
a precal because we always roll out our tickets in
that order. All patrons, then Maniact Patrons, then Diesel Patriots,
then Savage Patrons. That's the way to make sure you
never miss out on tickets like for Texas or for Boston,
for a lot of our shows that have sold out recently.
So just wanted to give you guys a lowdown on
the schedule. We would love to see you guys in Buffalo.
(07:20):
So for those are guys in Canada who are always
begging us to come to Canada, this is probably the
closest we're getting to the border, So please come check
us out in Buffalo, Western New York, you know, whether
it's you know, Central New York, Syracuse, Binghamton, Rochester. I'm
actually going to be coming from Sarahcuse to Buffalo. I'm
proud to be receiving the Q's fifty Honor Award once
again I got in twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Getting it again. Of course we're being accused alumni.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
They give it to me, But it is of course
for Challenge Mania, which is you guys and Derek and
Mark and all the cast members and everybody who helps out,
you know, with all of our shows and all of
you guys, the patrons, the Pod Squad, you are the
reason that we are one of the fastest growing businesses.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Among Syracuse alumni.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
We're one of them in t twenty twenty three, i
should say, and I'm proud to say we are still
one and continue to be one in twenty twenty five,
which means we have continued to grow since twenty twenty three,
which is something I'm very proud of, Derek's very proud of,
and you guys listening should be very proud of. So
I'm actually gonna be doing take I'm going to receive
the award, and there's a banquet on the Thursday. Then
the Friday, I'm doing some panels and talking to the
(08:20):
business students over at Syracuse on Friday morning, and then
I'm taking a train from Syracuse to Buffalo. So hey,
I can tell you it's only a couple of hours.
Take the drive, take the train. Our friends in Orange,
our friends in Syracuse. Please come to the Buffalo show.
It's our only time in the area for quite some
time and probably for a long time, so come and
check us out. And then Nashville. Always a fun one,
always a great way to spend a weekend. If you're
(08:41):
looking to take one more trip, this year. Nashville very fun.
Obviously Broadway down there as bonkers. There's gonna be a
Nashville Predators game after the event. We might even be
going to that, so check that out. Texas obviously sold
out and we will be seeing you guys, and many
of the other great cities we all often visit, whether
it's Philly or Baltimore or Saint Louis and Portland and
the Pacific Northwest and Seattle. We're looking to come back
(09:02):
to you guys in twenty and twenty six as well.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Obviously I mentioned Minnesota. You know, we always get to Chicago.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
We'll obviously get back to Florida and California and Arizona
in places we'd love to come every single year. And
even some of these cities we haven't been to yet.
Our cities we haven't been to in a while, like
New Orleans, we're looking to come back in twenty twenty six.
So go to challenge maniax dot com. That's the best
way to get news and alerts. I would say Facebook
dot com slash Challenge Mania podcast. But people on there
somehow don't see every single post. I think you might
(09:29):
need to, you know, check and make sure you're getting
notifications or alerts for our post because you know that
pesky algorithm sometimes gets in the way. So thanks for
maybe taking a break from listening to the Taylor Swift
album for a minute or two here to get this update.
Hopefully you guys enjoyed last night's episode of the Challenge.
Shouts to Derek and d for their daily win. Shouts
to Justin for a hold in court. Keep anning at
(09:49):
his partner as a partner. Maybe not the best decision
by Gabe. You know, we feel for john A. John
A is our girl. We're looking forward to seeing john
A again in Nashville, and I know these guys are
all out in Amsterdam right now and for all this
at the reunion, who we just found out as being
hosted by our good friend Devin Simone, so really cool.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I had kind of had.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
A feeling maybe I didn't want to ask. I didn't
want to put her in a weird spot. But when
she RSVP NO for my birthday party here in New
York City and said they were going to be out
of town, I kind of started doing the math and
I was like, maybe, but I didn't want to jinx it.
And looks like the Great and beautiful and talented Devin
Simone is hosting the reunion, and boy is there there's
no one better, you know, for all you guys who
are always beating the drum. Hey, Scott Yeager should host the reunion?
(10:29):
Skyt Yeger should hos reunion. But I appreciate that. I'm plattered.
They would never do that. But why do you guys
think I should host the reunion? Because I talk about
this every week. I watch every episode, I interview all
the cast members. I know them well, so does Devin. Obviously,
they've got the Official Challenge podcast if you listen to
that every week, She's always talking to the cast members,
asking great questions.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
She breaks down every episode. So could not be a.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Heavier co signer in more waste than one. I need
to not be as heavy, I'll tell you that, But
could not be a more proud co signer of Devin
Simone getting that gig. So shouts to Devin, Congrats to her,
thanks for all the birthday which is earlier this week.
By the way, forty feels great and I can't wait to,
you know, go on hopefully talking about forty more seasons
of the Challenge with you guys. But for now, go
(11:09):
to Challenge Manie dot Live, get tickets for Buffalo and Nashville,
set up for alerts to Challenge Maniacs dot com, and
as soon as d is fact, we'll be breaking down
episode eleven here and talking about everything that went down
on the Challenge Boy. I thought last night was the
stinker of a Survivor episode.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I mean you, we've heard the first two episodes of
Survivor Mania.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I haven't liked it so far, but man, was three
just the icing on the cake of the cake of
the jake of the snake Man. All right, guys, traders
cannot come soon enough. Love you all and follow me
