If you have listened to or followed Challenge Mania anytime since 2019 you have no doubt heard us mention the name Paul Shailor or "Evil Paul" as we very affectionately referred to him on what felt like a weekly basis. Paul was a constant presence on the show, in the questions and comments threads, on Zooms, at our Michigan Area Events and in our Maniac Group Chat. We were heartbroken to hear from his wife yesterday that he passed away this weekend. This episode is dedicated to him. We will really miss you, Paul. It is not sappy hyperbole to say that Challenge Mania will truly not be the same without you. Rest in Peace, brother.WATCH this interview here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-michaela-147017774www.ChallengeManiacs.comwww.ChallengeMania.Livewww.ChallengeMania.Shop

It is hard to believe that 2025 is concluding on December 31. This year has come and gone so fast!Professional Milestones:   It has been an incredible year for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar, as we received our first award – a Silver Stevie for “Best Interview / Talk Show” in the inaugural podcasting division. Million Podcasts placed the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast at number 72 on their Best 100 Celebrity Interview Podcasts in the US. I am honored to be included on this list, joining On Air with Ryan Seacrest (number four), The Drew Barrymore Show (number five), Entertainment Tonight (number 20), Zach Sang Song (number 21), and Vanity Fair's Little Gold Men (number 49). Finally, I am delighted to announce that I was named a Small Biz Superstar by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce.   State of the Podcast: It's time for the annual state of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast! Season Six has ended, and what a year! Our downloads surpassed 2024 and crossed the 15,000- and 16,000-lifetime download milestones. In 2025, the podcast reached its highest listenership to date, with listeners in 76 countries! I want to thank the listeners in the United States, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, Germany, France, Brazil, and the Netherlands, who listened to the podcast the most.   Our most downloaded episodes of 2025 were my conversations with Taskmaster UK's Greg Davies and Alex Horne; my two-part interview with The Challenge 41 champion Yeremi Hykel; Emmy-winning actor Mike Manning; the 375th episode, starring Challenge Mania co-host Scott Yager; and the Reality TV Godfather, Mark Long. Emmy-winning actor and advocate Yuval David, Canada's Got Talent winner, Jacob Lewis (whose interview is my seventh most viewed YouTube video), actor and Rookie Revolution host Oscar Chark, Tony Mantor, award-winning journalist Jane Eisner, and Men Explained, Finally author Tom Sturges round out the Top 10.  Music Notes:   This year saw a lot of impeccable music! My Top 40 songs playlist features duets from Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan's “My Funny Valentine” and Calum Scott and the late Whitney Houston's “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me),” originals including Morgan Wallen's “I'm the Problem,” Yuval Raphael's “A New Day will Rise” and Zac Brown Band's “The Sum.” There were also exceptional covers such as Adam Lambert's “Heaven's on Their Minds” and Cynthia Erivo's show-stopping “No Good Deed.”  In addition to Ms. Streisand, Mr. Scott, Mr. Wallen, and the Zac Brown Band, 2025 produced impeccable albums from Ciara, Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Lady Gaga, Michael Lazar, Tim Johnson, Jr., Toby Gad, and The Weeknd.  Previewing The 15th Anniversary:   2026 marks the 15th anniversary of Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar brand. I never thought when I started jakes-take.com in August 2011, I would still be creating content. 13 episodes of the podcast's seventh season have been recorded! Reality TV legends Jon Brennan and Beth Stolarczyk will be the guests on the milestone 400th episode. Other returning guests include Demi the Daredevil's Jeff, three-time Tony-winning producer Evan McGill, Kim Yarbrough (her first appearance on my platform in 14 years), Mike Lewis, and Rookie Revolution host Oscar Chark (in a joint appearance), Paulie Calafiore, and Tony Berardo.  Reality TV icon and three-time Challenge champion Wes Bergmann and his wife, Amanda, freelance rockstar Julie Cortes, actor Jake Jensen, award-winning TV producer Woody Woodbeck, and singers Kendra Erika and Tristan are making their first visits.   In Memoriam: Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar pays homage to several impeccable people who passed away in 2025. Chef Anne Burrell, Anthony Geary, Brian Wilson, Diane Keaton, George Wendt, James Carter Cathcart, Jim Shooter, Leslie Charleson, Malcolm Jamal Warner, Michelle Trachtenberg, Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Yarrow, Rod Reiner, Ruth Buzzi, Sam Moore, Sly Stone, and Val Kilmer all left remarkable imprints on pop culture, and they will be missed.   I also want to acknowledge the tragic deaths and passings of my fellow Kansas Citian, Sarah Milgrim, and her boyfriend, Yaron Lischinsky, who were fatally shot in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Jewish Museum. I am also still reeling from the shooting at a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, where 15 people were massacred, and 40 people were injured.   Season's Greetings:Thank you, everyone, for all your support this year! I want to thank all my guests who took time out of their schedules to visit the podcast, as well as the media teams who trusted my platform to help their clients see and share their stories. I also want to give a special shoutout to my family: mom Gloria, dad Matthew, brother Aaron, sister-in-law Whitney, nephew Nash, and nieces Emory and Kennedy. I love you all to pieces!  Finally, thank you to the readers and listeners who followed me on this journey! I hope 2026 will be a phenomenal year for all of us!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.
