Derrick Kosinski & Scott Yager are joined by Eric "Big Easy" Banks.This MANIA REWIND is from an episode that initially aired during our first year of 2018. Because his Gauntlet III performance has been mentioned so much during this season and final, we felt it might be fun to dig up this Classic Challenge Mania ep from the early days!While we know Eric went on to appear on All Stars Season 1 where he not only made his return but also made and finished the final, ultimately redeeming himself...this was the initial write up for the podcast back in 2018.Big Easy was a Challenge mainstay for years, even though he hasn't made an appearance since Battle of the Seasons. Eric joins Derrick and Scott  to talk about how he ended up on The Challenge in the first place, why he hasn't been back in a while, whether he wants to come back and what he's been doing since you last saw him!Reminder that any promos and dates referenced verbally in this episode are from 2018 and thus out-dated.
