It’s Tony Time! Tony Raines Joins The Show To Talk Fatherhood, Sobriety, and All Things The Challenge.

The Challenge LEGEND Tony Raines joins Paulie & Dev for an honest conversation about his evolution from one of reality TV's wildest personalities to a devoted husband and father. Tony opens up about the mistakes that nearly cost him his family, the custody battle that led him to walk away from The Challenge, and how faith, sobriety, and fatherhood have completely changed his priorities.

But there's plenty of Challenge talk, too! Tony shares his unfiltered opinions on the new generation of competitors, including Will, Lete, and the rising stars of Seasons 41 and 42. The guys debate whether today's Challengers are too media-trained, revisit the chaos of Final Reckoning, and discuss who really deserves the title of best to never win. Plus, Tony reveals how his construction career gave him an unexpected competitive advantage, considers whether something could have changed his Challenge career, and explains why he believes he could still dominate the game today.
