Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's something that we created because I am somebody who
- 0:02Speaker 1: loves the power of choice. I can't stand the same
- 0:05Speaker 1: radio station longer than maybe fifteen sixteen minutes. I can't
- 0:08Speaker 1: really listen to the same podcast week after week after week.
- 0:12Speaker 1: I need the power of choice, So why would I
- 0:14Speaker 1: keep that from you? Which is why we created erow
- 0:17Speaker 1: dot net, a r r Oe dot net, twenty different
- 0:21Speaker 1: completely way out there podcasts. Oh, it can be way
- 0:26Speaker 1: out there. How about the podcast episodes called the Resurrection
- 0:30Speaker 1: the Rising of the Writing Instrument? You got to experience it,
- 0:34Speaker 1: because if you're a writer, what are you doing with
- 0:37Speaker 1: your writing instruments that really pull in and invite your
- 0:41Speaker 1: muse too far over your head? Not if you're a writer.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Ero dot net, aarre dot net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey guys,
- 0:51Speaker 1: how are you doing today?
- 0:53Speaker 2: I'm awesome as always.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Listen to that. I love that kind of winning attitude
- 0:57Speaker 1: because I'm a firm believer that winning is a choice,
- 1:00Speaker 1: and you've always have always really projected that winning is
- 1:04Speaker 1: a choice.
- 1:05Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's a choice, but you don't really
- 1:09Speaker 3: have a choice when you go into the American Gladiator
- 1:12Speaker 3: arena because you're going up against our gladiators.
- 1:15Speaker 2: And if you ask.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Our gladiators if you have a choice of winning and losing,
- 1:18Speaker 3: they'll just say, no, you just have a choice of loosing,
- 1:21Speaker 3: because yes, it's going to happen. Our gladiators are dominant,
- 1:26Speaker 3: they're forceful, and they are very good at all the
- 1:29Speaker 3: gladiator events. And our contenders come in thinking that they're
- 1:34Speaker 3: ready and that they're prepared, and they probably are for
- 1:36Speaker 3: most events.
- 1:38Speaker 2: But when you're going at a joust or hang tough
- 1:42Speaker 2: and you're hanging there.
- 1:43Speaker 3: And you see a two hundred and sixty five pound
- 1:47Speaker 3: man who is literally pure solid muscle coming after you,
- 1:52Speaker 3: it's a whole different aspect that you got to think about.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Now.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Roxy you know how people are. They'll look at those
- 1:58Speaker 1: big warriors when it comes to American Gladiator and we'll
- 2:01Speaker 1: sit there and go, I got it. How do you
- 2:03Speaker 1: handle that? Because I mean, you get to meet these
- 2:05Speaker 1: contestants beforehand, you get to listen to their stories and
- 2:08Speaker 1: really kind of dive deeper into the journey. How do
- 2:12Speaker 1: you handle that when they've got such huge visions.
- 2:17Speaker 4: I mean, for our contenders, you know, some of their
- 2:20Speaker 4: stories are phenomenal. What they're fighting for. How that one
- 2:24Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars can completely be a life changing check
- 2:29Speaker 4: literally for them. It's amazing. But I'll tell you what,
- 2:34Speaker 4: these gladiators, this is what they do for a living.
- 2:36Speaker 4: They train their bodies, they've trained their minds, you know,
- 2:40Speaker 4: for this. They are supreme athletes, you know, in every aspect,
- 2:45Speaker 4: and it's to be respected. And I don't want none.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I wouldn't want no part of Neon or Crust or
- 2:55Speaker 4: Blade or Hurricane or Eagle or any of our gladiators.
- 2:59Speaker 4: It's just like they are phenomenal beings. They're kind of
- 3:03Speaker 4: like mutants when you think about it, because I don't
- 3:06Speaker 4: know how a human being could be could just be
- 3:09Speaker 4: like that, Like they're they're supreme, supreme athletes and some
- 3:14Speaker 4: amer contenders have some big egos and I and I
- 3:18Speaker 4: personally love to see get checked every once in a while.
- 3:21Speaker 4: Like it thought it was going to be a safe
- 3:23Speaker 4: walk in the park, but it's.
- 3:24Speaker 2: Definitely not that.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Please don't move. There's more with Mike and Roxy coming
- 3:28Speaker 1: up next, American Gladiators, Your storytellers, Mike the Miz and
- 3:36Speaker 1: Roxy Diaz. Now miss the thing about it is is
- 3:40Speaker 1: that I'm a third degree black belt in martial arts,
- 3:42Speaker 1: and they always teach us balance, balance and learn how
- 3:44Speaker 1: to fall blah blah blah. But you've been inside that ring.
- 3:48Speaker 1: The thing about it is, though, is it about balance
- 3:51Speaker 1: or is it about communicating with your body to go
- 3:53Speaker 1: in directions that you're not accustomed to.
- 3:58Speaker 3: So and the Gladiator Arena, you're not accustomed to any
- 4:01Speaker 3: of our events because you can't practice our events as
- 4:03Speaker 3: much as you can. Think that you could put two
- 4:07Speaker 3: pillowcases on a broom a stick and literally try to
- 4:11Speaker 3: drowse your friends and your family or your brother, your sister.
- 4:14Speaker 3: It's just not going to work. It's not the same.
- 4:17Speaker 3: So you can train as much as you want, it's
- 4:19Speaker 3: just a different aspect. And it's literally when I first
- 4:23Speaker 3: got into the Gladiator Arena, I looked around and I
- 4:27Speaker 3: just had such nostalgia of when I was a kid
- 4:30Speaker 3: and remembering Powerball and the wall and hanging tough, and
- 4:36Speaker 3: it just brought such an immense feeling.
- 4:38Speaker 2: And I think the entire crew, like whether it.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Was production, whether it was myself, Roxy and Chris Rose,
- 4:44Speaker 3: or even the gladiators and contenders, we all wanted to
- 4:47Speaker 3: make the best show possible. We want to make a
- 4:49Speaker 3: show that people could watch and literally absolutely fall in
- 4:52Speaker 3: love with. The entire family can watch.
- 4:54Speaker 2: It and literally for the past.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Two weeks, our show has been top ten in US
- 5:00Speaker 3: TV shows on Prime Video, and.
- 5:03Speaker 2: It just goes to show like our hard work is
- 5:05Speaker 2: paying off.
- 5:05Speaker 3: People are enjoying what we are doing, and it's just
- 5:09Speaker 3: we're super proud of the success of it and we
- 5:12Speaker 3: want to continue that success. And I can't wait for
- 5:14Speaker 3: everyone to see who the ultimate American Gladiator is and
- 5:19Speaker 3: we'll find out this Friday.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I was just recently with Chris and the thing is Roxy.
- 5:23Speaker 1: I mean, the three of you together, that to me
- 5:25Speaker 1: is harmony, the way that you work together because each
- 5:28Speaker 1: one of you come from a different background. But how
- 5:30Speaker 1: is it that you're all three of you were able
- 5:32Speaker 1: to speak the storyline through what you see through your
- 5:35Speaker 1: eyes because you're watching it and it makes its way
- 5:38Speaker 1: to us and it's like, how are they doing this?
- 5:41Speaker 1: Because this is not scripted out, you know. I, you.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Know, it's great that you brought up Chris Rose because
- 5:49Speaker 4: both Mike and I, you know, every single one of
- 5:53Speaker 4: us brought something different to the table. So Chris Rose
- 5:56Speaker 4: is truly a special talent. I mean, he was coming
- 5:59Speaker 4: up with those dopes off the cuff, and and it
- 6:03Speaker 4: just shows to his craft because it's a craft, you know,
- 6:07Speaker 4: and his professionalism, and he just knows what he's talking about.
- 6:10Speaker 4: He knows how to do play by place. I mean,
- 6:12Speaker 4: I don't I honestly don't know anybody better than Chris
- 6:15Speaker 4: Rose to be able to bring humor and to describe
- 6:19Speaker 4: the action of what's happening on the arena floor so articulately.
- 6:23Speaker 4: I don't think I said that right, so articulate and
- 6:26Speaker 4: saying what's happening, it's it's truly amazing. So with with
- 6:32Speaker 4: with Chris giving us, you know, the play by play action.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Mike brings the energy that the crowd in the arena
- 6:40Speaker 4: is feeling, and I just traffic control it. I traffic
- 6:44Speaker 4: control these guys and.
- 6:46Speaker 2: Make sure you get through that. Roxy brings people like
- 6:49Speaker 2: to tears, So.
- 6:51Speaker 3: I would literally be asking questions like how do you feel?
- 6:54Speaker 2: And then Ross you would be like.
- 6:55Speaker 3: My gosh, the story that you have said that you
- 6:58Speaker 3: have had growing up with you were a child, and
- 7:01Speaker 3: how is that bringing out?
- 7:02Speaker 2: And I'm like looking at her, going where is this?
- 7:05Speaker 2: How does she do this? Question?
- 7:07Speaker 3: And literally everyone's crying not just the contenders and some
- 7:10Speaker 3: of the gladiators, like the audience, Everyone's crying in the
- 7:13Speaker 3: entire arena because Roxy's just asking these immense, in depth
- 7:18Speaker 3: questions that only she can't.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Well, it's because of her music connection, That's what I feel,
- 7:23Speaker 1: because she's got and she has to understand what the
- 7:25Speaker 1: emotion is in order to bring it forward. Because on
- 7:28Speaker 1: the receiving end of everything that's going on, if I
- 7:30Speaker 1: don't have that moment of empathy or compassion which Roxy
- 7:33Speaker 1: is bringing us, it's like, Okay, what's going on here?
- 7:36Speaker 1: Bring them on, let's fight, but let's hear let's have
- 7:38Speaker 1: a human story in here as well.
- 7:41Speaker 4: Yeah, they the contenders do have, you know, human stories,
- 7:45Speaker 4: some that you follow. Even when our contenders just thanking
- 7:48Speaker 4: their mom and telling their mom that they're their hero,
- 7:51Speaker 4: and the mom is in the arena watching their can't
- 7:53Speaker 4: how can you not? You know, we all love our mom.
- 7:57Speaker 4: You know, we all love our dad. We want to
- 7:59Speaker 4: make our parents proud, and it's you know, there's times
- 8:02Speaker 4: that it kind of gets you a little missy eye.
- 8:04Speaker 4: So but we love that because you know what, this
- 8:07Speaker 4: is a family show. At the end of the day,
- 8:08Speaker 4: I take pride in being able to be a part
- 8:11Speaker 4: of a project that families can sit around and watch
- 8:14Speaker 4: with their kids and live out some great TV moments
- 8:18Speaker 4: and it's a fun watch.
- 8:21Speaker 2: We're recreating a.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Nostalgic moment for us growing up and and for people

- 8:28Speaker 4: of American Gladiator fans, which amazing.
- 8:31Speaker 1: So true because Mike, Because here's the thing. It's creating
- 8:33Speaker 1: a conversation between the elders as well as the young ones.
- 8:36Speaker 1: And what I love about it is when everybody is
- 8:38Speaker 1: wearing their own American Gladiator T shirt. When I start
- 8:42Speaker 1: seeing that on the streets, I smile like a fricking kid.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean literally, it just brings back those old
- 8:49Speaker 3: memories yes dad as a kid, because I mean, like
