Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Johnny Bananas, Nany Gonzalez, Katie Cooley, Mark Long, Jonna Stephens, Amber Borzotra and more LIVE FROM NASHVILLE! This show was recorded at City Winery on Saturday, November 22nd 2025. **This is the full audio from our NASHVILLE LIVE SHOW featuring Bananas, Nany, Mark, Jonna, Amber, Katie and some surprise guests. One of those surprise guests is Davis, who elaborates on the video that was circulating earlier this year. Just a warning that this part does get a bit heavy in regards to religious subject matter, particularly for those who might be struggling with their sexual identity or could be sensitive to someone who is. Just fair warning about that part, which we are going to leave in. www.ChallengeManiacs.com www.ChallengeMania.Live www.ChallengeMania.Shop

Scott dives into the unfortunate situation with Showroom Travel and the cruise experiences featuring reality and Challenge talent they mishandled and that are now being cancelled. An awful ordeal that people should begin the process of getting their money back for immediately. Hopefully this provides some added detail and context for those affected or just interested overall. Simply put...if you booked anything Challenge or Reality related through Showroom Travel...get your money back ASAP. If you are just following all of this from afar, try not to have too much fun at other people's expense. A lot of people have been financially affected by this sham of an operation and although you may get a kick out of rooting for certain cast-members (or things associated with them) to fail...this is not the time or the place.

Between his show-mances with Dee and Nany, altercations with both Gabe and a kitchen wall, rocky roads with his very own partner Olivia and several online "crash-outs" recently, Will has become one of the most discussed rookies on this season. Now...most people have him partially confused with the similarly dapper Jake, but that's besides the point. Will makes his Challenge Mania debut to tell his story and as you might expect...he does NOT hold back!
