Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. Hold on one real quick. I just want to hear this little... Thank you for the Zivia, brother. Hey, thanks for having me. Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. I'm here with my co-host, Mr. Zach Nichols. Yep.

We have some agenda items to take care of. Oh, you're getting right to it. We might as well. Episode 30. So you guys know. Today? Today. This is episode 30.

30. 30. Curry? Dirty 30. Dirty curry All right, what you got? So I get home from church With beans and Jenna just looks

I mean, she's like, yo, you guys are soft I'm like, what? She goes, you and Pierre are wimps. What's up? You guys rip on everyone and then you're going to go And try to stick up for Olivia. I'm like, what are you talking about? Yeah.

And then I go online and Norese is chewing me a new one And I'm like, what is you talking about? I see the post. And I'm like, damn, I agree. Here we. are. Listen, here's my thing. Get in it. I'm not here to to build anybody up unless they need to be, they deserve to be built up. I don't feel bad for people who are getting online hate because nobody felt bad for me. So sure didn't. I, uh, I had to agree with Maurice. I told her. I'm like,

damn, thank you. I like, like, like, sometimes I'm not privy to the social media, because if I was it probably wouldn't happen. Yeah. But that was not, that was not approved. She, she killed us and me, you know,

really for that. And she's 100% right. And I needed to hear that. So if you guys watched a tier two episode, you know that she did talk a little bit about people being kinder when it comes to certain aspects. But never in all of our clips or never in any of our podcast, have I ever prefaced anything with Be Kind about it.

And for that reason, I'm 100% wrong. Whether she said it or not, whether what my intention was we say what we say we make our jokes we make our analysis and we are critical of game moves and we don't apologize for it and that was a a bitch-ass move by me. Dude, I'm coming in. My wife's calling me soft. I'm like, I'm supposed to be the man in the house here. And I hear like, I don't know what's going on. And then I'm like, damn, I agree with this. Yeah, dude. I'm Norese.

I was soft. And honestly, I deserved it. I thanked her too. I said, thank you for correcting me and put me in check because, you know, it's not fair to anyone. So yeah, thank you. I appreciate that too. It just goes back to, like I said, like the, like if you're, listen, people that complain about negativity online when they get to have these like, like these experiences of a lifetime, like I don't feel bad for you. You know what? Online, it's not a real place.

You can turn it off. So if you can't handle the heat, stay off the show. Don't put yourself on there. For sure. And it's definitely not something that Olivia put me up to or even asked for or anything like that. it was a hypocritical thing by me to do. So do you, you know, I can take accountability. I know when I'm wrong.

I always say when I'm wrong and I was wrong in the situation. So I appreciate you for giving me forgiveness and not firing me because I like me in here. Oh, no, dude. No. Everybody makes mistakes. And here's the other thing. Like, I've made bitch ass moves on TV too and I got hated on for it. And I didn't expect anyone to kiss, you know, suck my ass.

And here we are. And this is what we do. And I had a really good time. You know what? I had a really good time with those. too. Oh, they're awesome, man. I'm not trying to be biased, but I really enjoyed them. Are you going to hold back on your criticism moving forward? No, I'm still going to criticize, but I'm going to tell you what, I really, really enjoyed having them. No, they're awesome.

Fun, fun, fun, fun. They're awesome. Actually, this is a perfect segue of something that I've been wanting to bring up on the show and something that it's very important for everyone to know. Everyone watching this right now, you got to know something, and that includes, it's really more directed to you challengers. There's a new season that's going to be filming soon, and we can't talk too much about it, but what we will say is, like, it is our first season that we're going to be covering that they know we're going to be covering it. And we know a lot of these people now. So puts us in a precarious situation. Put you in one. I don't care less. I'm out here networking, but my point is, is I want to make something very clear. Now that we're going through this,

it's like very, very, it has to be sad. It's like, friend, no friend. We know you. We don't know you. We're always, always, always going to call it like it is. And we never have stopped. I mean, I've never held back on my criticism on this particular situation of Olivia's move, ever. You know, I've always said how I felt about it. But I just want all of our friends to know that are watching this. You do some dumb shit. We're going to call you out on me. And hey, listen, if you call me out, like, I love it.

I love getting called out. And I did. And I said that straight. I'm like, dude, the real ones keep each other honest. That's a word. You got your head about that. And, you know, but here's the other thing. You can say whatever you want.

If you got complaints, let me know. Yep. You know, I come, I love reading them. But like, if I don't agree, you're going to get a fat suck my ass. Suck my ass. Yeah, big old suck my ass. But, okay, moving on. Couch is open, though, too.

You want to come rebuttal. What we're going to do with that crap is I have a metaphor, sort of. Okay. In my backyard, I have a tree. And this tree, As Jen, is my favorite tree. This thing, it's a maple. And it lights up in the fall. And so I have a compost pile that I put at the bottom of it.

I got, I got pumpkins, apples, you know, dog shit. A lot of shit in there. But you know what? All that shit sinks into the ground and it makes one beautiful tree. So we're going to take all this shit. Take it all. That crap. We're going to throw it into the tree.

Now we're going to blossom from there. Which brings me to my second item. Oh. We had a bet. A gentleman's wager. We did. Early in the season. Amongst gentlemen.

And here's what happened. My man over here said that Mahomes is better than my man, A.A. Ron. I did say that. Rogers. And I said, no way. Aaron Rogers is going to make it deeper into the season than my home. And he said, I'll bet you $100.

Now, here's $100. And it's yours. Okay. But I want you to hang on to this because I stole it from Anthony's piggy bank. It's a couple ones, couple, you know, maybe some pieces of bubble gum. I don't know. Equals $100. I don't know what a double mint goes for these days.

All right. I want you to hang on to this. Okay. Yep. Let's try have a round of applause, please, for winning the bat. But you keep that. Okay. And we'll keep it as a reminder.

Okay. That next season I want double or nothing, same bet. Aaron Rogers is going farther than Mahomes. Okay, all right. So real quick, this is mine, right? Not yours? That's yours. All right.

And I don't have to make that bet. You don't have to make it. Okay. All right. Well, oh, wow, this really is $100. Yeah. Okay. It's like 25 singles, 5s, and then the rest of 10s.

So just so you guys know. That's my scratch offs for that. Anthony's, first of all, thanks for trying to do the West guilt trip. Like, hey, like donate to my kid's child's fund. I'm not going to go on 40. kind of guilt trip was that, Wes? All right, thanks for doing that to me. It's just kidding. It's not from my son.

I don't. Yeah. If it was, I would not care. He's going to get enough for me. I'm not worried about it. It's from my sock drawer. It's from your son's drawer. And the second thing is like, you guys know, I don't drink. You know, I don't drink. So I don't really go to the club a lot. So this is really the only place I can really make it rain. You're a paid. That was fun. That was a lot of fun. You know what I call these? I call them fun coupons.

Oh, that was great. That was great. That was, I'm just, I love being showered in my money. That was great. All right, I'm going to have to start gambling with golf. It's going to be a fun year, guys. Thank you for tuning in this. I never gamble.

And this is why right here. Yeah, because I'm going to, you know, I'm going to take the winner. People, it's funny, a lot of people thought that this was not going to be his year, but every year is his year. He is the goat of this generation. He's still not the best. quarterback in the league because Aaron Rogers is still in the league. Greatest of his time.

As Aaron Rogers. Okay. All right. We'll see. He's got a better ball. Okay. Well, I just, you know, he's had half the years of his career. He has tripled the Super Bowls.

I mean, whatever. People are already saying, we can talk about it. People are already saying that. People already jump in the gun and saying he's better than Brady. No, no, don't do that. That's a big mistake. You do not. He's a better athlete than Brady, but I don't know if he's a better winner yet.

Being a quarterback is people, people always talk about talent. And I hate it when they say, oh, this person's more talented. Because guess what is a talent, decision-making? Guess what else is a talent, ball security? This is the stuff that made Tom Brady great. So I don't want to, I definitely don't want to do that. Their idea, it's whoever's jump. Don't jump with the gun.

Could? Yes. That's like saying Tori's better than Cara. Come on. Let's relax. Oh, man. Let's relax, dude. Love Tori.

She's not better than Carr. She doesn't have the resume of Kara. Don't do Mahomes versus Brady. Don't do that. Don't fucking do that. Who's your favorite quarterback of all time, though? Besides Brady. Favorite, not the best.

is Peyton Manning. That's my guy. That's your, you, like that's your quarterback. The sheriff. Love him. Love watching him.

Love watching him. The sheriff? The sheriff. He's got that 10-gallon hat when he was playing. The volunteer. Yeah, Captain Forehead anyways.

Exactly. Um, your favorite quarterback. We're talking about favorites. Are we not, are we not? So I can't say, I mean,

obviously. Of course you could. I mean, Tom Brady, because he's Michigan. Yeah. But he goes to go. I was a big,

uh, I liked I liked Fav Of course Not not because of his skill The range of who he was Yeah And honestly

I just you know who was Who was fun to watch was Joe Montana You know why Because you just Joe was just a normal guy Who could like Who was competitive Yeah

Joe Montana was like 61-185 And he won four Super Bowls Granted he was surrounded By some talent But dude I watched that documentary On Peacock With about Joe Montana

And he's a winner dude Oh he's the real deal He's the real deal Okay But you're gonna get me into this question. Okay, go ahead. No, go ahead.

I mean, but like, I'm not a quarterback guy. That's not even, like, if I had to pick, like, I like defense. Yeah. In football, even though I played offense, but my favorite player of all time, Lawrence Taylor. He's a dog. And Charles Watson. Yeah. Lawrence Taylor, dude.

We'll get into football more. I love to get to do this forever. That's all. I got to get, I got to chill out. Okay. Are we ready to talk about this final? How are we had a final, man? Challenge 39.

So wait. So wait. So wait. So wait. So wait. So wait. Who'd you pick to win at the beginning? Who was your pick?

I picked Corey for my guy. So I still have a dog in the race. Yeah. I think girls I picked Melissa. That was a lot of. But Melissa, dude, Melissa got screwed. But anyways. It's a lot of,

a lot of, a lot of, you know, man. I don't remember who you said. I just remember thinking like, damn, like, I said Corey, and here he is, and he bulldozed his way. You did. You did call your shot on court. Yeah.

You did call your shot. I'm really impressed. I probably took chalk. I think I took chalk and said harassing. I don't know. guys remember me. If you remember putting in the comments. Yeah, I probably talked to it. And I know a lot of you guys real quick, can we have a message to a lot of our new subscribers? Because we have a lot of new subscribers from the Arrasio and the Reese interview. Thank you so much for joining the squad. We love

having you here. Welcome to the community. But I do highly recommend you go back and watch, at least at the beginning of 39, because we had a lot of great interviews. But keep me, keep me honest with that. But yeah, you did call your shot on. I was wondering, but like going into it, I think he's still, like, he's still with my pick going into it. Um, If it was a guy and girl winner, obviously you want her to race to win after what she's been to the season. And she's probably the best equipped for this situation. She is, but my thing is going into a final where you're not part of the alliance, if there is a sabotage, you're the easy out. And if there is like a, oh, pick one person or gang up on one person.

So like going into it, I think she has the talent to do well and the skill to do well, but I don't think she has the alliance members to do well. Yeah. And the way that it played out in this episode, you see some of those things come to fruition. but I definitely don't remember. And a lot of finals. A lot of finals luck, too. Yeah. Okay, let's get in this episode.

So it starts off. T.J. arrives to the club. I'd be sick. Yeah. He's so sick. I love how involved he is this season. It's fucking great.

It kind of makes a scene. It's like kindergarten. He's the biggest score. Yeah. He's the biggest star on screen. Obviously. Yeah. He's got more seasons than the rest of the cast members combined.

If you add up all the seasons they've been on compared to what the ones T. T.J. is done. Yeah. He's probably. You know, he's a 39, you know, not 39. Yeah, he's by far the biggest star on this episode. Okay, so get ready. Because here's the thing.

When TJ shows up to the club, I'm not thinking like he's here to tell me a good thing. I'm thinking the final starting right now. And the fact that they didn't do that was really upsetting. I thought that the proper way to introduce these mofos to a final is to slap them right in the face with it. Just give them the big old slab of meat right across the face. Yeah, just put it on the table. Yeah. Pound it.

Nope. Give him the hammer. Give them the hammer. That does not what they do. Give them the hammer. No, they let them spend the rest of the night. They let them have an extravagant dinner. Before we get into the rest of this episode,

we haven't really seen the whole full first day yet, right? No. Wait, no, no, we haven't. No, we've only seen one day, which is five, whatever. They said it's going to be 26 miles, which is a lot. But who's going to win? The Zach Nichols, I'm going to cramp first award.
