Podcast appearances and mentions of Ben Driebergen

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony take you beyond the edit with a Challenger from MTV's The Challenge. This week we are joined by Ben Driebergen from Survivor 35, Survivor 40, The Challenge USA and Challenge World Championship all airing on CBS and Paramount Plus. We start off by catching up with Ben about "Benzo", Cinco dancing to W.A.P., building choppers in Reno and Marijuana legalization plus it's benefits (0:00 - 14:10). We then jump into Ben's early life with what it was like growing up in Boise, his father coming out as gay man plus the evolution of their relationship to get to where they are now, plus what his dreams were as a kid and what made him want to join the military. Next, Ben breaks down some of his active military training and active duty stories including his very first fire fight and a time where he was put in a position to make a decision on a life he knew nothing about. We also talk about how he met his wife, his history as a reality TV fan, other shows he applied to be on and finally his breakthrough into Survivor. Our co-host Tony takes us on a journey with Ben through both of his Survivor seasons including his surprising win on Heroes VS Healers VS Hustlers and then returning for one of the most anticipated themed seasons of Survivor - Winners At War. Ben gives us details on the alliance workings on his first season and going to fire that ultimately led to his win. He also goes into depth on what happened on Winners At War between him and Sarah and how that effected his game moving forward on The Challenge USA and The Challenge World Championship (14:10 - 1:33:00). Ben talks about why he thinks it's important to make friends in The Challenge house, the difference between a Survivor social game and a Challenge social game plus what his top partner picks were on World Championship, how The Misfits alliance came to be, what happened with "Survivor Strong" on Challenge USA and World Championship, getting another physical DQ on the show, why he felt Sarah was disingenuous on World Championship and finally we finish it off with some MT Rushmore lists as well as some Survivors Ben would like to see do The Challenge and vice versa. We had such an incredible time with Ben and he was so open, honest, vulnerable and respectful. We honestly couldn't have asked for more from Ben and we hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh come together and sit down with former Dallas Cowboy's player and reigning Challenge USA Champion Danny McCray to break down the entire season of The Challenge World Championship. We kick off the episode by discussion why we are so excited to talk to Danny, some burning questions we have and some things we heard on other interviews/Instagram story AMAs (0:00 - 14:16). Then, we break into the season with Danny by first going over what the MVP's originally thought when the legends entered the game, what the conversations on the first night were like, who Danny's top 3 girls were (and why) and the highly controversial Gates of Hell daily. We also break down Danny's relationship with Jordan and Tori, how the relationships were misrepresented in the edit, and the truth behind Kellyanne's master move. Danny also breaks down how the alliances fell through the season including the White Board Alliance, why/when he decided to stop targeting Jordan, what really went down with Ben Driebergen, a suspected twist that didn't end up happening but caused a lot of issues amongst partners, whether or not Danny would have ever thrown in Sarah/Theo or Emily/Yes and why he wanted Tori to pick a number one SO bad. We also have Danny break down the nomination process and whether or not he was ever truly worried about Sarah putting him in (14:16 - 1:31:00). Lastly, we finish up the Unplugged with Danny's thoughts on the final elimination, which three teams Danny truly wanted in the final, how much weight he lost throughout the season and a beautiful section of praise for Jordan as a person and competitor. Danny then proceeds to break down the entire final from start to finish including points of the final the fans didn't even get to see, Danny/Tori's biggest day one mistake, the truth behind the Insomnia overnight Challenge, Danny's biggest mistake from the overnight portion, and finally, his frustrations with Tori's decisions during the final. We close out the episode by discussion various things such as Danny's thoughts on Troy, the truth behind Banatman's cape in the club outfit, who has the bigger personality out of Wes and Tyson, changes to Danny's MT Rushmore, who from Survivor he would love to see on a Battle of the Shows format, thoughts on Horacio and his Balls In elimination against Jordan on season 38 and finally, Danny gives us a pep talk about our attack on Sarah Lacina this season and puts us in our place (as needed) (1:31:00 - END)! This is by far the most in-depth Unplugged session we have done after a season and we truly hope that between us and Danny, your questions and concerns about the season are put to rest.

Andrew Marr is a Special Forces Green Beret Veteran and the founder of the Warrior Angels Foundation.  Andrew also recently wrote the book Tales from the Blast Factory, chronicling the ways in which his life was affected by Traumatic Brain Injury and the road to recovery he took using a unique therapy delivered by Dr. Mark Gordon.  That book was recently turned into a documentary called Quiet Explosions with the help of Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jerri Sher.  LOGLINE  Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts 2 million people per year. Professional athletes, military, veterans, and first-responders share their recovery stories after suffering severe PTSD and depression. Joe Rogan and Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien, NFL running back Anthony Davis and Ben Driebergen, Marine veteran and winner of CBS's 35th “Survivor” season, are featured in this enlightening documentary.   SYNOPSIS Special Forces Green Beret, Andrew Marr, returned from his third deployment, a quietly broken man. The explosives expert suffered a multitude of concussions while detonating hundreds of blasts in Afghanistan. Unable to cope with his illness, he fell into a spiral of drug and alcohol abuse; even contemplating suicide at one point. When it was nearly too late, he met Neuroendocrinologist Dr. Mark L. Gordon, who properly diagnosed his condition as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Since then, Gordon has been helping veterans impacted by Post Traumatic Syndrome (PTS)and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)through the Warrior Angels Foundation founded by Adam and Andrew Marr and supported by podcast personality Joe Rogan. Professional athletes Mark Rypien (Washington Redskins Super Bowl XXVI MVP) and Anthony Davis (running back USC, Tampa Bay Buccaneers), candidly share their methods of coping with TBI and PTS, which they experienced from repetitive blows to the brain. Renowned big wave surfer Shawn Dollar and Ben Driebergen, a Marine veteran and winner of CBS's 35th “Survivor” season, reveal their struggles toward brain health. A former gymnast, a 9/11 first responder, and the victim of military sexual trauma (MST) offer insights into their healing process from the disease which is estimated to have impacted 80 million people in the past 40 years. Additional hope and insightful methods are offered from experts Dr. DanielG. Amen, Dr. Scott Sherr, and Dr. Robert Sammons in this growing field.   Click HERE for the Quit Explosion's trailer.   Click HERE for the Quiet Explosion's Website
