I'm pro football Hall of Famer, Brian Dawkins, and I lived for a long time with something I did not know the name of. Major Depressive Disorder. I carried sadness and anger because I thought I could handle it alone, but I couldn't. Now I want to make sure others know that that support is out there. If you're experiencing similar symptoms, talk to a health care professional. Visit mddallies.com to watch my story.

Paid partnership with Johnson & Johnson. Brian Dawkins is not prescribed Caplyta lumateparone.

SPEAKER_4 (1:05)

I needed more from my antidepressant, so my doctor added Caplyta lumateparone, proven to provide greater relief from depression symptoms than an antidepressant alone, building on my progress without starting over. Caplyta is for adults with major depressive disorder when used with an antidepressant and is available by prescription only. Individual results may vary. In clinical trials, weight gain was not common.

SPEAKER_3 (1:26)

Elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. Caplyta is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. Call your doctor about new or sudden mood changes, behaviors, or suicidal thoughts right away. Antidepressants may increase these risks. Report fever, confusion, stiff muscles, which may be life threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. High cholesterol and weight gain may occur, as can high blood sugar, which may be fatal. Monitoring is recommended. Common side effects are sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth, feeling tired, and diarrhea. These aren't all the side effects.

So I've been wanting to have this guest on all season, all right? And I was really going back and forth with like when I wanted to bring her on. I actually wanted to bring her on earlier on in the season because she absolutely lit the damn house on fire. It could have been from her antics or her red hair.

We still haven't gotten a full report back from the fire marshal. However, I was like, you know what? Knowing what I know, obviously, from being on the show with her, I was like, I want to save it because she does so much more. And there's going to be so much more this girl has to offer to the show. So why not wait until all the cards are out on the table that aren't UNO cards and we'll just let her absolutely rain hellfire on the Death, Taxes, and Bananas Podcasts. So ladies and gentlemen, I generally deserve this type of introduction for my other favorite ginger, Weston Bergman. But this season, I think West may officially have some competition because today we have the Red Rocket, the Ginger Ninja, the Strawberry Savage, the Freckled Firecracker, the Red Headed Wrecking Ball, the Human Molotov Cocktail, Anna Leigh Wilson.

Every once in a while, someone walks onto The Challenge, and you immediately know that they understand the assignment. I've seen a lot of challengers come and go over the years, and there are very few who have the natural star power, or as they say in French, je ne sais quoi, the second they walk through the door, and Anna Leigh had it. She came into Thailand like a ball of fire, and somehow left the entire house still fucking burning once she left. She won right out of the gate, got thrown onto a team that wasn't exactly assembled like the 96 Chicago Bulls. She was underestimated, underappreciated. She called out the vets. She called out her own teammates. She refused to kiss anyone's ass just because they'd been doing this longer than she had. She beefed with half the house, nearly caused an international incident with a pair of underwear, and she didn't just have beef with Leo. She was a big fan of Leo's beef.
