    5 stars!
    Love the recaps! The interviews with the challengers have been great too:)
  • XenoJon
    Great podcast channel
    Probably my favorite podcast currently to listen too. Fun hosts, fun bonus podcasts with fun guests too. Cover all aspects of The Challenge (or whatever show they’re covering) and even extra things that happen online which is always interesting to see. Now that they’re doing Challenge contestant interviews it’s even better. Keep up the great work guys!

    All-Stars in their own right
    Matt and Scally are the absolute best and I would listen to them talk about anything. I especially love how they not only cover the show itself, but also keep up with the casts’ social media. And on top of it all, they’re just great people too. I have and will continue to recommend it to every Challenge fan I know!

    Best challenge podcast
    Long time challenge watcher and this is the best podcast on the show - mixing the strategy, the silliness and critique. Also appreciate the social media updates that save me from having to look!
  • Pelican Pablo
    Quality Reality TV Coverage
    Matt and Scally balance their coverage so well between recapping the chaos and camp of reality television drama while analyzing the strategic gameplay and human dynamics of these competition shows. Everytime an episode drops I get excited to hear the classic Scally “ooooooooo”
  • Luluwans
    Smart Takes on Reality TV
    I LOVE the intelligence and ease of Scally and Matt’s podcast. Great pacing, great opinions! They tell it like it is, and aren’t afraid to disagree with each other. These guys make the Challenge even more fun to watch, as I look forward to their takes and insights. I am rooting for Cara Maria because Laurel needs to be set straight- not a fan of bullies 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • BobbiB2003
    Very Enjoyable
    I’m a late-comer to watching The Challenge and appreciate how the hosts go into some of the history of these players. I also like the overall recap, it’s very thorough.

    Can I give more than 5 stars?
    The challenge has been my favorite reality competition show since the beginning and listening to your review podcast is almost as great as watching the show! Thank you for all you do Matt and Scally! ❤️
  • BonjourMesAmis!
    Great Listen!!!
    Podcasters so nice I listen to them twice (bonus Patreon podcast is 🔥)! Listening to Matt & Scally talk about The Challenge (and other fun reality tv) is a huge part of my enjoyment of the shows!! My IRL friends are not about reality tv so it’s great to hear the guys banter about all the things and bring us along in their journey….. so happy they continue to cover more fun tv 🤗

    Love the coverage
    Thanks for providing fun and fresh insight into the traitors and the challenge. I really loved your commentary on social media and miss that due to the patreon wall but I totally understand why as it’s great coverage!
  • cookie1093
    Great podcast!
    This is my favorite Challenge podcast. The hosts are great! I also enjoy their Traitors coverage and the guest hosts.
  • dejota3
    Great show!
    Matt and Scally do a fantastic job covering the Traitors and The Challenge, often saying out loud what we’re all thinking... you have to give it a try, it’s so validating!!! They also host many great guests from the RHAP metaverse, like Jenny Autumn (pigeon queen) or Jacob Jones (who brought many terrible, unpopular, pro-bachelor (barf), but also hilarious takes in the latest episode). They bring equal amounts of strategy talk, a love for P. Shallow, obscure references, and pop culture and reality TV jokes that works really well for me. Finally, I hear they may bring Ira Madison to the podcast soon, who will surely have many opinions about Phaedra and the rest of the housewives. Can’t miss!!

    5 Stars, All Day Every Day
    OK so look…I complained about the name when they launched. It’s still not great but I’m warming up to it. But regardless, the content has been 🔥…whether Challenge or Traitors or Reindeer Games or whatever else they want to talk about, I am all here for Free Agents. Would like to hear a little more queer perspective…since…you know…y’all are fellow homosexuals. Shocking to know Corey OF ALL PEOPLE is the first gay male representation in a final on The Challenge in a decade. Discuss THAT more. Jesus. But I’m very down for you boys & wish you much success. How about a live show in NYC? 🤔
  • nay_oh_mi
    You Need Their Challenge Expertise!!!
    LOVE that you guys are expanding your coverage to include Traitors!!!!
  • Sara Spec
    One of my new fave podcasts!!
    Matt & Scally are such fun hosts, and I like that they share their honest opinions about shows. They talk though the great aspects just as well as the aspects they take issue with or even disagree on, and I like that a lot because sometimes podcasts just seem to gush about their favorite shows without taking any time to think critically about them. Listening is like hanging out with some really smart and eloquent friends. ᵕ̈
  • Jcs_evc
    Love Matt and Scally!
    I’ve been enjoying the show with Matt and Scally, fun as always! I look forward to the main and patreon feed each week. Thanks!
  • jofo322
    Love this podcast!
    One of the best Challenge podcasts out there!
  • cats4survivor
    Love these guys, but
    This podcast is so bias that it’s boring. Take a page out of other books - you can offer criticism, but not be so one-sided that it’s just two dudes whining and saying nothing interesting or novel. I like these guys A LOT on other pods, but oof! This is bad.

    Fans of The Challenge check it out!
    Matt & Scally are the perfect duo to recap the mess and the delight of The Challenge. I’ve watched the show for so many years, but only recently found Matt and Scally’s coverage. It’s made my viewing experience with the show SO much more enjoyable…even when the episodes are frustrating, the podcast is always fun to listen to. Their snark, humor and knowledge of decades of Challenge lore won’t let you down.
  • airfigaro
    Ohhhhhh Yaaaaah!
    Matt and Brian breaking out on their own. Watch out challenge universe. This is going to be epic or at least some recaps and other stuff. Always enjoyed the coverage and glad that they’re breaking out on their own. Especially important since there is about 17 Challenge seasons a year now.
