We did. I just, like, laid it all out on you. So whenever I meet a girl that I like, I do one of two plays. I either go really aggressive or I do the gay best friend. We're going to hook up in six months play. So that's the one I'm taking.

It definitely gave gay best friend. When you hold your hand like that. Not sure. Not sure. No, we're not seriously. He was like, so, what's the tea? Yeah. How's the man?

You probably should go. I was like, word vomit. I know what? There's chemistry here. Holy shit. I'm just kidding. All right.

Stop. It's been a long time since I've been a third wheel. Yeah, right. Okay, so we're going to talk about All Stars 4 and all things, Raven Rochelle.

So first of all, okay, now we know that you have a friendship with Laurel and she's been... Wait, why are we jumping right into that? That's how we get into it because the very first scene we see her, and I think you described it as

They were kissing, kissing. Her and Nicole. Oh, wait, we're talking about the last episode. The last episode. The last episode, the last episode, the only we just watched. Right away, they show Leroy kind of backing up the milk, and they saw Nicole and they're jacking that mic up for the snoaches. It's like aggressive. Yeah.

It's like, it's really not that loud. The sound guy's like, yeah, you know what? This is disgusting. If I got to listen to it, so does everybody else. It has to be. Those mics. Right. Yeah, that's gross.

Laurel's like, and I didn't go in because I get to say good night to you, and you really like that, don't you? Seeing Laurel like that. that's so soft is honestly like so crazy to me it is right it's so crazy but I I honestly love to see that side of Laurel I'm not sure if I like to see it coming from Nicole I don't know how how deep it goes with them you bite your tongue when you talk about my friend Nicole well my friend well listen I don't know much about Nicole but I know that I love to see Laurel happy so and I agree with you at one point in my life if you asked me give me three people that might end up killing you she was

one of them. And seeing her like this, I'm like, no, she's, check her off that list. Thanks for the Snickers. No, she ain't killing anybody anytime. Laurel has got found peace. But, um, no, I'm saying if there was someone who was going to do it one of two,

three people, she was one of the three. There was a point. There was one other person who's still on that list and he will forever be on that list. I have to ask you about that. Uh, so talk about your relationship with Laurel, how to, you know, like you guys, did you guys meet on ride or died or before that? Yeah. Okay. So I met Laurel briefly on Rider Dies.

I mean, granted, I wasn't there very long. So I didn't really get to know anyone. I kind of isolated myself on 38. Why? Well, I was extremely heartbroken and just, like, bitter about my situation with my ride or die. And then I got really sick. Yeah, it came off like that. You know, I don't think so.

It came off like you were a, you know, listen. I was jealous. Yes. Like, yeah. I was thinking. I was thinking stage five, Quinger. You know what's crazy Let me tell you

Let me give you your stripes and your stars 39 completely erased that for me And I realized But you also realized like he gave you a line To get there and he gave you a You could tell because you were like Wait what? But yeah you should have just like

Snip that real quick And move forward Yeah I mean But like I just knew 38 was gonna be such a big experience And I do know that I like to be in control Of a lot of things And when things don't go ideal And I'm kind of like thrown off

off guard And I'm like, oh shit. And then also, though, to top it off, after that first challenge on 38 and the 11th, yeah. I did win it, but I got extremely sick. Like, I was really, really. Oh, you got some of the, you got an infection. Yeah, I got fucking cow shit in my lungs. Like the mud and the water and, like, us diving in from the walls.

I know exactly. I got an infection on the inside, too. And I almost had to get my arm amputated. Because I just chilled with it for like two weeks. I was like, why is my elbow just growing eventually? So it was from Thailand. So yeah, I had ingested something and I got an infection in my elbow. And you were extremely sick.

Yeah, I couldn't swallow for like two weeks. And I was like trying to tell them that. What? You're like, you're fine. You just have acid reflux. And then when I got home, like my arm was swollen. Wait, it was this one. It was this one.

It was swollen. And it was like the skin was starting to peel. Oh, my God. And my dad was like, hey, you might want to get that checked out. Right. He's like, get out of my house with that. Yeah. Get that thing out of my house.

Bogie man. And that's just also what made me more bitter is because I was so sick. and Johnny would only come and speak to me once like, how you doing? All right, cool. Oh, yeah, but he was in the honey pot. Yeah, and I'm just like, fuck off, bruh. I was so, oh. He was snacking.

It was giving very much. There were snacks on that. Have you seen Hook? The movie Hook? I have, yeah. You know when they're like doing the fake eating? I literally just had a flashback to that. Yeah, literally.

Anyway, so you just were out. You needed that comfort. You didn't have it. Right. So I just. And then you felt like everyone had a bad probably perception of you. No, because I mean, I still regardless of how I felt like, I was like, all I can do is compete to my best ability. And that's what I did, even in the elimination, ultimately, like I was still highly upset, but I gave it my all.

That was the one that was almost like a hall brawl, right? Yeah. Just pushing the other. That was a pretty intense one. That, when I still have fucking, like, foot damage from beating my foot into the metal things. Because you went against Olivia and Horacio, right? Just Olivia, yeah. Yeah, but no, but that's the.

team. Yeah. Yeah. Your partner wasn't a very big guy either. Well, Johnny's not, I mean, Johnny and Horacio, Johnny was actually bigger than Horacio at the time. Yeah, like, like, beefy wise. Oh, beefy, but like height wise. No, they're about the same height. Really?

He looks like... Horatio might be a little taller, actually. Horatio was a very well-built guy. Yeah, yeah. Just put together. Yeah. So that was about, and then you are undersized. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And, and, like, I was... I'm not saying anything bad about Olivia. Cool. I don't want to do.

She's just a bigger girl. She was a great matchup, I think, between me and her. It was. But my shoes literally slipped off. Like, they were sliding out of them. What brand? Let's give them a shout out. Oh, shit. They were Adidas.

You were Adidas? Well, it was Adidas. The brand that was sponsored that. Oh, Adidas sponsor, Riter Dyes. I didn't know that. I'm pretty sure. Could have been Reebok? Oh, no, no, no.

I'm sorry. Under Armour. Oh, it was Under Armour? Sorry, it was Under Armour. All they sponsored me? That's who sponsored me. I'm like, if they, canceled me and went to Adidas.

I'm be so pissed. Oh, no. I actually wish we had Adidas, but no. Yeah, with the flower. I don't like the three lines. I'm a flower. If I'm wearing Adidas, it's got to have the flower. No, Adidas is the stripe.

Am I right? It's both. Well, you're younger than me. Back in the day, the Adidas flower was icon. Oh, okay, I know the flower. I know the flower. I'm the flower guy. You are the flower guy.

I am. So I never got to talk to Laurel. Me and Laurel didn't really speak. Okay. Yeah. So back on subject here. There is. That's how it goes here.

We talk about whatever we want, whatever we want. It's the Zach Nichols podcast. Whatever exact ones to talk about we talk about. I have ADHD. It's fine. I struggle with it. I do. I love it.

But so me and Laurel didn't really get to hang out. But when my dad was diagnosed with cancer and I put out a go fund me, she donated a large amount. And I didn't even speak to her at the time. I didn't, like, you know, we had no really connection or friendship. I think that's really important that you said that because I think Laurel is getting some hate right now. for a lot of her actions

and people would say she's not a very kind and giving person. No, but she is. You just said she had rarely spoken to you. Yeah. But when you needed someone, you know, she,

so that's important. I think, like I think there's going to be a lot of hate coming her way. I think we're going to make a lot of jokes, but I also want Laurel's a beautiful person inside and out. And even though she struggles with things, there's things like that that she does that should be highlighted. Absolutely.

And for those, you know, that want to say that we're not going as hard on her. We can talk about her actions. on this season and some of the things we agree with and disagree with. But that's nice to hear. But yeah, we know, I've personally in my heart have seen the things that she's done for people to give people light, to give people hope.

So for you to shed light on that, which, by the way, prayers for pops. Yeah, thank you. For sure. She didn't really know you that well either. She didn't know me at all. We never spoke. And then when I saw it, I was, I was just blown away by her generosity. And I just thought that was incredible.

And we stayed in touch ever since then. You know, we, because we lived in different states at the time, but ever since then, I was like, wow, you know. And she's also, she wants to be, she is, she went to school for veterinarian medicine. So, you know, I think she has a big heart. And I also know that a lot can, you can be judged for making decisions because at the time, you're in love with someone. Like, you're, you don't think, like, you're, you're thinking in a love situation. And I really think, you know, things would be different if it was someone else other than Nicole, you know. It's hard.

It's a hard battle. But I do know Laurel is an amazing person and she has a big heart and she's great. Well, that's great timing. I appreciate that. Absolutely. That doesn't mean her kissing Nicole and the noise is not disgusting. Right. Yeah.

And it also doesn't mean that she might, you know, maybe warranted, unwarranted, maybe mistreating Carl. We don't see everything, but that's some of the things that we see. There's a phrase, right, that says, just remember you don't, like when you, you see someone it's like that picture you know and then like behind them's all the shit that they're dealing with and so like just remember that sometimes that

she spoke about what had happened to her on her here so it's like maybe she's in a high pressure situation and she's lashing out everyone lashes that's all it is that's all it is and it's not right I'm not saying it's right I'm just saying like yeah I understand it okay

people were giving us or me in particular some hate for not being harder on her but we also sat here and to her for hours and she told us what had happened to her in her past and the trauma or whatever and so I'm like ooh like I I kind of hurt you hurt for someone when you're like you kind of understand why someone would lash out after what she told us for sure that's all I'm saying yeah and so it's like I don't really she's getting a lot of hate like I know it's also like it's to be hated on and trust me like yeah there's going to be plenty of that coming her way so for sure um

so I mean hey we we've seen it I'm just from the camp stuff I she's been getting probably just absolutely roasted from camp fans Absolutely. Camp fans go hard Not as hard as Kara But Cam fans go hard. Speaking of Kara Cam fans. Cam, yeah. I was like camp, what camp?

Camp newborn, baby. That's right. They then show Camp Deerborn. That's an insider. That's insider. All right, then they show Kara giving Ace and Jay some advice, basically saying you need to get a fucking star immediately or you're not going to go to final. Same thing, Ryan, they had these conversations and he talks about who he would want most in

elimination. He says, Jay. You know, they show Steve, I'm sorry, well, not Steve. Steve has a star, but Adam, Ryan, Derek, they're all in a similar position where they need one. So Adam's got one. Yeah. Oh, Adam's got. Oh, yeah. At this point, he's got one. That's right. That's right. That's right. How old Adam? Yeah. That concludes the free preview of the Zach Nichols podcast.
