In this nostalgic and high-energy episode of That’s Effin Weird, host Stevenson is joined by cohost Tristan to dive into the wild world of American Gladiators from the late 1980s and early 90s. From the larger-than-life Gladiators with unforgettable names to the intense, sometimes chaotic events like Joust, Powerball, and The Eliminator, they break down what made the show such a cultural phenomenon. 

But it’s not all nostalgia—this episode also explores the behind-the-scenes reality, including the physical toll on contestants, the risks involved, and some of the lesser-known facts about how the show was run. With plenty of laughs, throwback moments, and a bit of “did that really happen?” energy, this episode is a fun and fascinating look back at one of the most unforgettable competition shows of its time.
