🚨 LIVE tomorrow May 14th! 🚨
On episode #415 of Dave Tate’s Table Talk Podcast, Dave sits down with Eric “Bull” Bugenhagen, Michael “Fang” Wardlow, and Jesse “Steel” Godderz.
The trio joins Dave to break down the brutal reality behind the 2026 revival of American Gladiators.
From competing through catastrophic injuries to surviving 30 days of isolation with 16 elite athletes, Bull, Fang, and Steel reveal what it really took to transform into modern-day gladiators.
Dave and the crew dive into backstage chaos, psychological warfare, explosive performance training, and why bodybuilding-style prep fails in a 30-foot vertical arena. They also discuss competing with a torn bicep, the diet strategies used to stay explosive, and the difference between looking powerful and being powerful.
