POPULARITY
You can buy fat loss with an injection, but you cannot fake the raw, violent physical capability required to survive when the lights turn on and the floor turns into a warzone. Before stepping under the Hollywood lights as the new faces of American Gladiators, Daniella Means, Lu Faustin, and Kailey Latimer forged their armor through shattered orbital bones, grueling Division I athletic politics, and the unforgiving reality of immigrant grit. Along the way, they realized that true elite-level performance isn't about chasing aesthetic superficiality or corporate fitness trends, but about weaponizing a zero-compromise mindset that translates directly from the platform to the dirt. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Pump Illusion: Why traditional backstage preparation caused elite male competitors to break down while the women survived the heavy volume. The Earning Curve: The harsh psychological divide between physical attributes you can buy off a shelf and the absolute power that must be taxed out of your own spine. Combat Transfer: How pro-wrestling ring psychology outmuscled raw weightlifting metrics the exact second the script went out the window. Isolated Pressure: The brutal transition from team-dependent field sports to the cold, solitary numbers dictated by the barbell. MEET THE GUESTS Daniella "Voltage" Means is an IFBB Pro and IPF World Champion who stood on a national competitive platform just eight weeks after surviving a devastating hammer attack to the face. Lu "Empire" Faustin is an IFBB Figure Pro, WBFF Pro, entrepreneur, and speaker. Raised in New York by Haitian immigrant parents, Lu earned a degree in International Relations with a focus on Law in Belgium before being discovered in a gym and winning her first bodybuilding competition, Miss Fitness Belgium. Today, she is building a career at the intersection of fitness, media, entrepreneurship, and community impact, proving that strength and femininity aren't opposites-they're a powerful combination Kailey "Hurricane" Latimer is a former Division I powerhouse and the longest-reigning NWA World Women's Champion in history, capturing elite sports supremacy by treating competition as an absolute expression of faith.

Today we have a special guest Bailey Meraviglia who talks about her time on American Gladiators, Her time podiuming at the Games with CrossFit Milford, Her penalty this year in trying to qualify for the CrossFit Games and Tim Horton's, Pole Vaulting, Karate and being a Lethal Weapon, plus so much more!
Dan, Manny, & Billy put the American Gladiators franchise to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “It'd be a lot more American if they walked in the ring and just shot each other.” -Billy D'Elia While this episode was being recorded, the orange lunatic who's technically our “president” was building a UFC octagon on the front lawn of The White House, which was ultimately a disaster (F Joe Rogan). We all should've seen the free-fall of America coming in the late 80s when we were all watching American Gladiators on TV. This episode attempts to figure out what this show is, why were people into it, and why was it resurrected, twice! That's right, there is currently a new version with two seasons hosted by The Miz. Oh, and the first season of the 2026 version WAS FILMED IN FRANCE!? Now, all credit goes to each and every gladiator that was on this show because in 1989 they were treated like trash. Safety wasn't a thing, people were being knocked out, and gladiators were being forced to compete injured. Watching the “evolution” of American Gladiators is so interesting, because as the series continued the only thing that got updated were the games and the arena. They made it bigger and got rid of the cardboard cutout audience members. That's right! They did that. At the same time, the gladiators remained overworked, injured, and forced to literally fight people like they were circus animals in an underground fight club. This episode travels along a zig-zag path to get the controversial conclusion of the 2026 episode they watched, how The Miz is just screaming in people's faces, some of the best knockouts, faceplants, and announcer quotes, all the way to the guys talking about how they need a 100% win for an episode because this is killing their souls. So, grab your American flag bandanas, an oversized tank top, scream at the top of your lungs for no reason, and kick your best friend in the face, because it's time to talk American Gladiators! *** If you love what we're doing and want to support the podcast so we can keep this show going with better equipment and maybe meet up with each other to do some in-person recording, sponsor to The Nostalgia Test: buymeacoffee.com/nostalgiatest Lastly, we're looking to be booked for podcast appearances, hosting gigs and parties, maybe you have a block party coming up, a BBQ that you want to be Nostalgia themed and you're looking to make it seriously memorable, a reunion, etc., contact us to book the podcast.

This week we continue following Night Demon on their epic North American trek supporting King Diamond and Overkill in fall 2024. The narrative resumes with a rare appearance in Indianapolis. Band and crew describe the benefits and pitfalls of performing at ornate old theaters that were not designed for 21st century heavy metal productions. You will learn how Night Demon paid tribute to the late, great Paul Di'Anno at this show, and will hear exclusive details about a recording session and potential future single release. From there, the tour proceeded to Louisville, with visits from friends in Savage Master and chiropractic care courtesy of the Rock Doc. As always, we bring you live clips from the performances and behind-the-scenes recollections of how each show went down.LINKSOld National Centre - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_National_CentreMagnetic Eye Records -https://magneticeyerecords.bandcamp.com/Louisville Palace -https://www.louisvillepalace.com/ Listen at nightdemon.net/podcast or anywhere you listen to podcasts!

Text Us Here!Everything feels better when the rules are clear, the stakes are fun, and you can play along from the couch. That's why we couldn't stop arguing about game shows, the classics we grew up on, the weird ones that aged badly, and the newer formats that crank the risk knob to max.We start by trying to define what even counts as a “game show” and immediately break our own brains. Is it only trivia and puzzles like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, or does any competition with a prize qualify? We go down the rabbit hole far enough to (jokingly) label sports as game shows, then climb back out to celebrate the stuff that actually shaped our TV childhoods: Supermarket Sweep chaos, American Gladiators energy, and the Nickelodeon era that had Legends of the Hidden Temple, Double Dare, and Guts locked in the after school hall of fame.Then we hit the darker side of the genre, like The Moment of Truth, where “winning” comes with real life consequences, and we talk about why that kind of discomfort TV works even when it feels gross. We also pitch the comeback we want most: Cash Cab rebuilt for the rideshare age, with rotating cities and surprise trivia for everyday riders. And because we can't end like normal people, we close with a brain fun fact about why your mouth muscles still activate when you read silently.Subscribe, share this with a fellow game show addict, and leave us a review with the one show you'd bring back.

The staged spectacle of the ring and the curated edits of prime time are stripped away to reveal a raw physical reality that cannot be faked. Eric "Bull" Bugenhagen, Jesse "Steel" Godderz, and Michael "Fang" Wardlow endured a month of sensory deprivation and high-stakes violence to resurrect a cultural legend. From the agony of competing with a ruptured bicep to the psychological warfare of gladiator lockdown, these three modern-day icons reveal the grit required to weaponize a 280-pound frame. INSIDE THE EPISODE The Secret Injury: How Fang competed in the most grueling events with a full bicep tear Gladiator Lockdown: The reality of living in isolation with 16 world-class athletes for 30 days Breaking the Rules: Bull reveals the backstage moments that almost got him pulled from the show The 3-Hour Pump: Why training like a bodybuilder is a liability in a 30-foot vertical arena Diet of Champions: Living on sulfur-soaked eggs and high-molecular-weight starch to stay explosive MEET THE GUESTS Eric Bugenhagen ("Bull") Eric Bugenhagen, the chaotic force known as Bull, is a former D1 wrestler from the University of Wisconsin and a YouTube legend built on the philosophy of unorthodox intensity. Known for his 800-pound behind-the-back deadlifts and unhinged charisma, Bugenhagen serves as the engine of the trio, bridging the gap between elite strength sports and mainstream entertainment. Michael Wardlow ("Fang") Michael Wardlow, rebranded as Fang for the arena, is one of professional wrestling's most feared powerhouses. Standing as a multi-time champion in AEW, he brought a D1 wrestling background and a headhunter mentality to the show, proving that functional agility is the only currency that matters when suspended 30 feet in the air. Jesse Godderz ("Steel") Jesse Godderz, known to the world as Steel and Mr. Pectacular, is a rare hybrid of reality TV royalty and professional wrestling veteran. A staple of CBS's Big Brother for over a decade and a 17-year veteran of the squared circle, Godderz transitioned his Golden Era physique into a dominant run on the 2026 revival of American Gladiators.

Actor Vivian Bang talks about her play Detroit and Rocsi & The Miz talk about the return of American Gladiators.
She was the kid who always wanted to win, then a single injury forced her to redefine everything. Nikki Smith grew up in Yucaipa, found her identity in soccer, and even played on a boys traveling team before a torn ACL ended the path she'd imagined. What happens next is the part most people miss: the quiet decision to keep moving anyway. Nikki walks us through how lifting, coaching, and chasing hard challenges became her way back to strength, confidence, and mental clarity.We also get the behind-the-scenes truth of reality competition, from American Gladiators to Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge. Nikki explains what the cameras don't show, why putting yourself on TV is a special kind of vulnerability, and how “losing” can still be a win when you're facing fear and refusing to let doubters write your story. If you care about fitness mindset, discipline, and real resilience, her perspective lands hard.Then the conversation goes deeper into faith, grief, and family. Nikki shares how her father's death and her daughter's struggle with addiction and mental health reshaped her purpose, and why so many families stay silent when the struggle isn't “socially acceptable.” We talk warning signs, stigma, coping traps, and what it looks like to rebuild with honesty, community, and daily habits like gratitude and movement. Nikki now pours that mission into a women's workshop called From Broken To Becoming, blending fitness and faith-based encouragement to help others find a way forward.If this story hits home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find the message. What part of Nikki's journey did you relate to most?

This week on "Who Put This On?" we are lacing up our sneakers and dodging oversized foam Q-tips as we dive into the American Gladiators revival on Amazon Prime. We compare this shiny new 2026 version to the 2008 Hulk Hogan era to see if the franchise has finally found its footing or if it is still stuck in the mud of the Eliminator. We break down the new roster of Gladiators, discuss whether The Miz is the host we deserved, and debate if the three-event format is enough to keep us coming back. Does this reboot land in the top tier of competitive reality or is it a bottom-level effort that should have stayed in the 90s?

Are the gladiators wrestlers who were too good for wrestling? Does this hold up on its own merits, or is the group running purely on childhood fumes? Strap in and find out where American Gladiators lands on the WPTO scale.

Today we talk about CrossFitters on American Gladiators, Paying for streams and why this is a good thing, plus a quick preview of all 4 events this weekend and where athletes will be competing.
Send us Fan MailA movie about condoms, cocaine, and the World Cup should be a layup for a wild studio comedy. Balls Up somehow turns that setup into a string of half-formed bits, missing reactions, and scenes that refuse to escalate. So we did what we do best: hate watched it closely and pulled it apart like a broken engine.We talk through why the central buddy comedy dynamic never locks in, how Mark Wahlberg looks stranded without a co-star who can elevate the rhythm, and why “straight man” only works when the straight man is still funny. We dig into the biggest script problems: characters who change traits scene to scene, stakes that get introduced then ignored, and jokes that explain themselves instead of landing. Along the way we call out the few moments that actually spark, like the dialysis callback, the Larry David translator voice, the karaoke choice, and the one truly committed set piece involving a vampire fish and a very unlucky pee break.After the movie autopsy, we pivot to what we've been enjoying lately, including long-form YouTube essays that dissect the MrBeast machine, plus Tony's current comfort watch with the American Gladiators reboot. We also tease our next watch, Marty Supreme, and briefly vent about how modern reboots like Frasier can still have great actors but fail on writing.If you laughed, cringed, or disagreed with our takes, subscribe, share the episode, and leave a review, then tell us the one change you'd make to fix Balls Up.Written Lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

Send us Fan MailDark Crimes wants to be a grim, prestige-leaning true crime thriller, but the further we follow it, the less it holds together. We sit down with our notes and try to track basic things a crime mystery should make clear: who wants what, what the evidence means, and why Jim Carrey's detective is even making these choices. Instead, we find missing motivation, unclear timelines, and a “reveal” that feels like it changes the vibe more than the story.The most heated part of our conversation is the adaptation problem. The real case that inspires the film has a genuinely interesting hook, yet the movie pivots into a sex cult angle that we think adds nothing to the central mystery while pushing the material toward exploitation. We talk about what that choice does to the theme, why the ending lands with a thud, and how basic screenwriting tools like dialogue and a strong investigative partner are oddly absent. If you like film criticism, movie podcasts, and honest breakdowns of plot holes, this one is a full teardown.After we finally put the movie down, we cleanse the palate with what we actually enjoyed this week, from Scream 7 to the return of American Gladiators, plus a few side quests into reality TV and why Traitors works. We also get into a surprisingly real topic: the influencer career dream and what happens when the audience moves on, then connect it to the creative trap of waiting for perfect camera gear before you make anything.If you're listening, subscribe for more movie chaos, share the episode with a friend who loves a good bad-movie autopsy, and leave a review telling us your all-time most confusing thriller twist.Written Lovingly by AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT
