Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2020
- Podcast #48 was with the one and only, Mr. Beautiful, Kenny Santucci from MTV's The Challenge. Kenny and I both went to the same college so we reflected on that. We spoke in depth about the CT wrestle from MTV's The Challenge Inferno 3 and his overall Ct thoughts. Johnny Banana's evolution, original The Island Boat, if Abe never left Island, Wes, Landon, Laurel and a ton more! You can't miss this!

Landon pulling Carlie up that hill was the most impressive thing I've ever seen on the challenge.
Wow great job getting Mr Beautiful, the man the myth the legend. Kenny is definitely the reason why I started watching The Challenge, I think he’s a huge reason why people started watching The Challenge. The 7 finals in 8 seasons is absolutely insane, I think you definitely have to put him on the GOAT conversation. My favourite season was fresh meat 2 because of Kenny vs Wes’s whole alliance. Also absolutely should have won rivals 2. Great job Mike, keep em coming man!

Wouldn’t say Goat conversation
Yea it’s crazy 8 seasons and 7 finals along with 3 rings that’s not talked about enough

Was Kenny even on Rivals 2? CT and Wes deserved that win.
The fact you was able to get Kenny on here is amazing!! Say what you want about Kenny but he is authentic and always himself despite if you like him or not. I wish the interview was longer to be honest, but still enjoyed it
Agree 💯

Not during tv cameras
How is it amazing? This guy is on camera saying horribly misogynist things for YEARS. Plus, he was accused of sexual assault. This guy should NOT have a platform.
You support giving platforms to misogynists?

CT is a man’s man who I can respect when it comes to challenges. He has his flaws but he’s not nearly as insufferable as Kenny,Evan and Bananas. Those 3 are why I ultimately stopped watching the show. Both Wes and CT do shady shit but the hatefulness toward women and being sooo codependent on your butt buddies is what turned many fans off. I’ve recently started watching again and its refreshing to not know whats coming than the saaaaame tired “alliance” year after year after year.
Yeah I couldnt stand CT waaay early. But he's matured and now, considered a Elder. We've all been young and stupid once. But CT One of the best to do it. Watching these newer.l competitors stand up against bananas and Wes mindgames is refreshing
CT and Wes don't have the best track record with how they treat women on The Challenge, lol. CT also got kicked off two different shows for punching people, and Wes has been willing to sell anyone down the river to benefit himself. There are very few saints on The Challenge. Among the greats, it's pretty much just Landon and Darrell.
Mike your guest just keeps getting better and better and you and kenny had such a good flow here deff should get him back for a part 2 or something with the way this one blew up

i see some people never change. it's sad, thankfully everyone saw in the end what type of person he was. i hope he learned something, but that would be too much to ask.
When Johnny says 'there's no loyalty in the house anymore' what he is really saying is that no one falls for his shit anymore... he manipulated everyone and they finally caught on after a decade or two. Loyalty does not equal giving up one's game for his game. You had a good run when you had the charm Johnny, but game over thank goodness.
Are you referring to Bananas? Then yes I agree with what you’re saying…however, he did ended up winning his last season Total Madness along with Jenny, but yeah he was such a douche especially in earlier seasons.
Great Interview! Been watching the past seasons on CBS and Kenny's commentaries were hilarious. Great insights on the behind the scenes.
Thanks for this interview, Kenny was always pure comedy!!
Ace, Alton and Timmy don't wanna wear Speedos for the challenge.
That's because of me.
They think hey if we're wearing speedos next to this guy we're gonna look like shit
And I completely agree with them - Kenny inferno 3 lmao

I doubt Alton felt that way...he had an extremely nice body and still does.
Great interview! I am kinda shocked that he bad mouthed, CT. Also, sucks he still doesn't like Wes. Wes is one of my favorite competitors :( I really wish you would have gone over the whole final with Eric where he gassed out and made the whole team lose. I know because of legality issues that you couldn't talk about the Tanya thing but dam I wish I could hear his side of the story.
CT wouldn't mess with Kenny. Kenny went toe to toe, nose to nose, with him and CT backed down.
@@user-oh5uq8kg1l He'd work Kenny out stop it. Kenny badmouths CT all the time and it's frankly odd
@Nicholas Colvard I'm not talking about when they were wrestling. It either happened afterward or maybe a different season. Can't remember off the top of my head, but given time, can bring receipts.
When your 40 or pushing 40 and still talking about how tough you are, or holding grudges from 15 years ago you got issues.
@@Blodia1990 cause he’s probably jealous of CT.
Kenny’s performance on Fresh Meat was crazy good.
Mike - loved this, great job! Glad to see Kenny is as real as he seemed on TV, one of my faves, the new show is no where near the same of that era of the challenge. Kenny is right; S30 on no one will be rewatching any of that trash.

literally same
I was literally just talking about Kenny to my dad yesterday. I was watching Rivals 1, and I told my dad about the eating challenge, and when Kenny said he could eat a meal like that every day of the week, twice on a Sunday, and he was cracking up! (I'm Italian from Rhode Island)
there is a different reason why alton don’t want to wear speedo

Great interview man, you ask some really good questions. Very entertaining!
this was a great interview with a challenge hall of famer and gave me a new respect for Kenny
I lost all respect for Evan and Kenny after hearing what they did to Tonya with Wes's toothbrush.
It was great seeing Kenny again, but I hate how he acts like he's above the show and doesn't watch it or keep up with it anymore. I'm pretty sure he tunes in every week and watches the challenge just like the rest of us.
YESSS Podcast King!!

@@TheKicksBoy didn’t Kenny do that with Evan??
Kenny was funny as hell and one of my favorites. My only question, is if they weren't afraid of CT, why didn't he and Wes call him to the Jungle on Rivals when they finished last, instead of Brandon & Ty?
Him and Evan raped Tonya! Used a toothbrush to penetrate her. He’s disgusting
bc they were scared lol
Big thanks to Kenny for doing this interview! It was really awesome getting to hear his perspective on things. He's a special person in The Challenge history, without him the show just wouldn't be what it is.
Wow Mike you are definitely delivering the big interviews. Congrats!!!

Listen folks Mike has been out here hustling since Day 1. He’s a young guy working real hard to bring us Challenge fans what we want. None of us know wth went on with Kenny and it’s not our place to judge. Like Kenny or not he was a HUGE staple of the show and we cant just pretend he didnt exist. If you dont like him it’s easy don’t watch. There is NO reason to be giving any hate to this young man Mike Lew. Take that shit somewhere else!
It's between him,Even and a toothbrush.... Glad Tonya won that lawsuit.
Wes > Kenny in a elimination any day.
Kenny > in a final any day
In elimination, sure, though Wes sure was scared of Kenny in Fresh Meat 2. Politically, Kenny >>>>> Wes.

@@kendalljackson2616 They really won the show where they teamed up.
Great job getting Kenny, appreciate your hard work!!
Thanks 👍
Ouch Kenny doesn’t know that Wes is actually an incredibly successful entrepreneur😅
I know I mean the anger he holds towards Wes after so many years makes me think there is a lot more to their story than what we know.
Furthermore his ego is still off the charts. It's why he never committed to a true partnership with Wes during Rivals and is a big reason why they lost. Just him saying I should have won all those finals, you lost Kenny plain and simple. Facts:
Fresh Meat: you lost to the puzzle it's part of the game
GAUNTLET 3: The team knew that you had to finish together and although it sucked you all went at a pace that medically disqualified Big Easy, sucks but it was part of the game.
Fresh Meat II: you just thought you had the game won with Laurel but Landon and Carley crushed you get over it.
Rivals 1: I will give him some leniency, if you won the first leg by 40 or 50 minutes you should have at least gotten that much of a head start but the fact of the matter is you and Wes never truly became a team and is the reason you lost even with a two minute head start on the last leg of the final
Kennys confessionals were my favorites. Dude was super funny and witty.

If I ever had any doubts about the accusations after this interview I don’t . I believe Tonya 💯
Lmao @ anyone believing Kenny intimidates CT let alone Frank or Wes hahahahaha.
Kenny would’ve made snooze fest RW Austin more interesting.
Ik it's been a while since this interview happened but I think it was well done. I mean I was never a fan of Kenny, Evan, or Bananas but it's nice to get his take on things even though there were holes or at least discrepancies in his stories.
Like for one him wrestling with Landon, Landon confirmed that they never wrestled. Secondly Kenny likes to say he is the same person on and off the show, but multiple people dismissed this but he isnt as bad as a lot of others. Furthermore he states that him Evan and Kenny ran the show bc they trusted one another and there isnt trust in the show anymore, however that only worked 4 his core group, 4 newbies coming in what are they supposed to do trust the group running the show and hope that they keep their word. It wouldnt have worked and I believe that's why guys like CT and Wes didnt work with them bc they knew they would always be at the bottom of their alliance and would be taken out when push came to shove.
However the one thing that I really wish someone would ask Kenny is his whole take on the Sarah and Johnny decisions made in Exs 2 and Rivals 3 bc at one time he was good friends with Sarah so I would like to know what his whole opinion on those decisions are.
His answer would have been "dough before hoes." Side note I think this guy is a dochbag who the hell puts on the television while being interviewed? All I wanted to know was if the rumors were true of why he was no longer on the show.
Wow, doesn't anyone remember what Kenny and Evan did to Tonya? Pretty bad.
He says Wes says the same thing but he says the same thing about Wes. It just seems like he's jealous of him. Rivals 1, he wouldn't even be in the finals if wasn't for Wes carrying him all season. Wes made the challenge FUN to watch. Kenny, Evan, and Bananas' alliance got old. The show needed a Wes to make it fun and interesting. He went against the "Mafia" as Kenny put it and that was so entertaining. And Wes does have a business you can look him up online and watch vids of his business. I did find Kenny hilarious.... a nice comic relief but Evans and bananas were snoozefest.
Wes choked in the final
I agree.
10 or 15k week interesting no wonder why losers always come back
Yeah that’s alot of $$$
Kenny's best lines were in Rivals... "Michael complete nerd... Worst hair cut I have ever seen." .... And then everything he said about Tyrie "the guy sleeps with his shoes on... The girls gonna smell like bacon for the rest of her life."
From the first season Wes appeared on The Challenge, the Kenny/Evan/Johnny trio had a plan to mock and humiliate Wes, and used Johanna to do it. They are foul. Only Evan seems to have a conscience. Watch seasons 11-21, and you will see the truth. CT went on season 20-21 to take KEJ down. Wes was used by all of them except Evelyn and CT. CT rocks!
Tremendous interview.. kenny gave so much good insight and answered everything candidly. Thank you
Kenny and Kyle would’ve been best buds for sure.
For sure lol 😂 Kyle would’ve definitely align with them.

Top 10 podcast of all time
I am very impressed with the interview with Kenny. I am sad that we do not have him on The Challenge anymore. I would have loved to see him interact with Bear, Devin, Hunter, Jay, Joss, Nelson, Paulie, Rogan, Tony Time, and Turbo.
Bear is fantastic
Because of what happened.

I was looking for it for years finally. This guy should come back to challenge.
The Challenge has never been the same since Kenny left!
Yes it’s been a lot better without him and Evan there with all their bullying and harassment of the other cast members
Its been much better,I can actually watch again
imagine if kenny and wes would’ve been on the same real world season
just got off work so happy rn
Anthony Gg man of the people
I like the guys like CT,Wes,Darrell,Derrick,Landon etc who show up to play regardless. These beta men like Kenny,Evan and Johnny who need to “run the house” like a bunch of sorority girls made the show so unpleasant and dark. Im glad they’re moving away from that in more recent challenges,those 3 have been a poison to the show.
I completely agree. The Kenny, Evan, Johnny alliance was annoying as fuck. Always avoided elimination but they did do great in every finals though.
Hilarious that you think Wes doesn't need to run the house. That's his entire M.O.
I can’t believe this say what you say but him and Evan were great TV they were funny together and just made the challenge I still think him and Evan need to come back to All Stars hands down if you a OG fan you would agree and I agree when he talks about them putting these new people on
Great video Mike, can’t believe you actually pulled this off! Unreal🙌🏻
20:15 - I wonder why that’s why he poured a beer on Adam’s head
Respect to him for turning down key west because of his gf and job. He probably made a mistake BUT I still respect that. Most of these kids go on with gfs and bfs and just sit on the phone the whole season arguing with them. He doesn’t seem the type to turn a season down for that so that makes it even better.
Ziggler and Morrison are slept on. As a fan of Kenny's and wrestling. I agree with what he what he said about it. But Vince McMahon still runs the company and from what I've heard and read about the scripts have been rewritten by Vince about 30 minutes to an hour before show time. He needs to let go of the reigns because he's old and lost his touch.
1 year later. Ziggler is a ghost, Morrisons been released. Vinnie Mac might be selling the company.
@@realBatman-89 I know, but I had a feeling that would happen when his wife was released in the group of cuts just before his.
I can't believe Kenny smoked Landon in a wrestling match, unless Landon was drunk. I really need much more details about that match and their dynamic.
Kenny said he thought the FM2 final was in the bag basically cuz Carley was such a weak link in comparison to Laurel, but he should have understood who Landon really was considering they went head to head for 90 minutes and he had a size advantage.
i can’t remember if landon wrestled, but kenny did it often
@@stephenkarmichael4709 As Kenny said himself. Landon was D1 and Kenny was D3. Landon was also a Top 5 state finisher in Wisconsin which a much more competitive wrestling state than New Jersey.

I wish Kenny would had continued in the challenge, he was my favorite. But I saw that he got banned from the show for crucial reasons.
He hasent changed he always downplays all the other guys, he was a great competitor but bananas and ct, and Landon were the best hands down
Kenny is absolutely the most gorgeous man ever 😍 ❤️ Mr. Beautiful!
Great podcast he is one of the greats!
Kenny embellishing , He sounds Salty af ABOUT CT,. i remember a clip where in a small hotel room johnny was making fun of Kenny for being secretly in love with CT when CT pinned him on a pool table and ripped his shirt off straddling him.
You can tell he’s always been so so intimidated by Chris. So weird.
Man this man hater aid is thick for wes and ct. you guys punked ct lol. He wore your friend as a backpack. You guys all worried and nearly fought eachotger over who had to go against him and adam. Dude your a legend in your own right be humble my dude. Sour grapes.
Yea it was very clear but at the same time last time Kenny has never been on the challenge was CT fully matured which he started doing on free agents
The only season he didn't have by the balls was the duel, other than that season Kenny was that dude.
What a great podcast glad I found you on angelcakes colberation love your channel I'm a challenge fanatic sincethe first challenge
Why did he quit the challenge?!?!?
He didn’t quit. Him and Evan had allegations against them and were banned. Google it
I don’t don’t believe his CT story of the wrestling match lol. I wish they show behind the scenes. As a CT fan y’all attacked him on Rivals. But this is great insight
That crap athlete carried you a whole season. You had the mountain bs to stoak your ego. As far as his buisness you can learn about his steak in in his companies by doing some research or watching his involvement with those companies on youtube. Just pure hatting.
People in the comments who clearly have not followed either RW or RW/RR Challenge right. CT was doing hella drugs on his RW Paris season all the way until the Duel II. Everything Kenny says is true and he wouldn’t be saying it knowing how many people could correct him. CT was doing drugs and was a typical bully and no real guy in the house was afraid of him at any point he mostly got on everyone’s nerves because they knew he’d eventually punch someone and be kicked off. CT cleaned up his act for Rivals he was in and out of rehab. Also Yeah Kenny Evan and Bananas were annoying with their fratboy attitude (altho I found Kenny and Evan extremely entertaining) but they took care of their friends and their alliances for the most part. Wes was annoying af and fucked over everyone for the sake of saving his ass or do we not remember Fresh Meat II. People forget a lot of shit but some of us have good memory. I don’t know what happened when it comes to Tanya situation and I honestly hope she’s doing better these days. But Kenny and Evan were the it guys tbqh strategically entertainment wise as well as physically and they what they could for their alliances. Johnny was and still is an ass and he was mostly riding off of Kenny’s and Evan’s coattails. Kenny alone on a challenge w/o the two proved what kind of competitor and friend he was. Fresh Meat II was Kenny’s best season.
I wish Evan would come to All Stars but I think he’s blackballed due to the Tonya thing
