ever come on demonetization is my specialty oh yeah fuck youtube demonetized we'll get there texas and i brought my boys with me we don't own the rights to this song and neither does p ditty anymore Right. Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast, Lost in New York. We are lost in New York. Home Alone, 2ish, but we're on Long Island. People were telling me I was wrong for saying in Long Island. Oh, don't make that mistake. I've been making it for my whole marriage, and I'm so sick of hearing it. So we are on Long Island. You sure are. And if you ask my father-in-law, he would say that only the wusses are from Long Island.

Oh, really? Yeah, he's from Brooklyn and Queens. Oh, shit, man. He's tough. There's a little suburban out here, but I like it. You know, it's my style. Oh, you like the suburbs? I do. I like the other.

Yeah, it's nice. It's not a bad area. The houses are really close together. They're dense. Very close. Yeah. You know, if your neighbors are in a fight, you hear it for sure. Yeah.

It's also Halloween, which might explain why you're sweating so bad from all the sugar you've ingested today. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I thought I was always sweating like a bro. Bro. When I got here, people got to hear this. He was sweating like a fat chick at prom. Literally dripping.

but he tried to wipe his head, his face on our beautiful Hilton Garden Suites tablecloth. Yeah. Look, I had to get, I asked for a towel and this is what they gave. They looked at me and this is what they gave me. They're like, let me a hand towel. This was their definition. Well, for you, that is a hand towel, my man, because I'm shocked they didn't give you a damn in your beach towel or going sew two or three of them together for you.

But if you're going surface area, this is, you know. Yeah, you also kind of look like a pedophile, ready to go out for trick-or-treat. Oh, absolutely. When's the last time? So the last time I trick or treated was sixth grade. For my own candy, around there, probably six, seven. I don't want to, you know, say like, oh, fifth grade, like probably six, seventh, eighth grade. For sure not high school.

I got kicked off of people's porches because I was taller. Yeah. Get the hell out of here. What are you doing here? I'm crying. Yeah. You know, but I would always just wear, I wasn't a big Halloween kid. Yeah.

Never was. But I did bring you some treats because it's Halloween. Beans got into them. I love these guys. Yeah. So you guys. got these from Ohio. Yeah. Well, these are off the... No, no, no, no.

Where'd you get these from Michigan? Yeah, I got those from the BP that we get cigars at before we go golfing it. Very nice. And Beans got a hold of them because she was crying and I had to shut her up. They look fresh. So just so you know, and if I say I'm getting a couple of something, this is a couple. Right? Well, the definition of couple would be too, because

when you're in a relationship and you're a couple, it's not with a handful. Well, well, some religions, you know, more prominent than others. But anyways, we're here. I feel uncomfortable. I'm not going to lie. Not because we're in a hotel room, banquet hall,

but because we're not on a couch and we've got to keep looking at each other like this. I know. It's weird. It seems a little creepy. But we're going to deal with it the best we can. I don't have my glasses on. I feel naked. Yeah. I'm weird without my class. No, everyone's going to be able to know who you are in public.

Now, people, now Pierre is going to say bad shit about Rachel now. Now it's no longer go media anymore. You're not even going to let me get into the episode. You're just going to. No, no, I'm just saying. Are you sad that everyone tore you apart on Instagram? I'm not said. I kind of get a little bit of the taste of what you guys deal with because now everyone is shitting on me for my racial criticism.

Because you're wrong. Okay. Well, I mean, we can get into it now. You are later. You're 100% wrong with. Okay. I mean, I mean, I have, I have my- Before we get into that, though, I do have to do a public service announcement.

So we did schedule Kenny back in August and same day he canceled on us. So then in September, Pierre reached out to Kenny. I have the receipts. And he said, man, we're going to be in New York for a live show. Would you like to do a podcast? Didn't sit, not pushy whatsoever. And he said yes. And Pierre hit me up and said, how about Halloween?

10 a.m. will come to Manhattan to your gym. He said, yeah, it's locked in. So a week and a half ago, he reached out to him or a week ago to solidify those plans. Because when someone says they're locked in for something, my definition of locked in is that it's on my schedule and it's ready to go. Well, normally we don't have to confirm something like this, but when someone has, in the past, canceled day of when we booked a flight and we've done that type of stuff, you just wanted to check in. And I'm a very punctual, respectful person when it comes of time.

And you can. Sure aren't. Right. So I don't cancel tea times if it's snowing. That's my thing. I'm there. If I commit to do something, I'm there. And so he says to us, he says, oh, man, I'm super busy.

I got a lot going on. I don't know if that's going to work. And instead of just saying, you know what, I don't want to do it. I don't want to talk about the challenge because I've rebranded myself. perhaps you don't want to talk about the toothbrush we weren't going to bring it up however i'm mad because we booked you twice we could have had several other guests today and instead we're sitting here eating candy and sweating so i guess the joke's on us however we did have him booked he said he was locked in and then he got wishy-washy and the last text i got from him which i didn't respond to

was hey i might be able to do i might be able to do 4 p.m. for an hour and i said brother you're locked in is 0%. So your maybe is less than that if it's possible. So if you're wondering why Kenny interview is not happening, it's not because we didn't do our due diligence. And listen, as long as this guy's not on the devil's lettuce, he is like the most organized person you've ever met in your life.

Now he gets a little bit of, you know, the devil hookah in his system. Yeah. He seems to forget things. But he had this thing. He sent the itinerary. It was locked in. He sent reminders.

So this is not due to us. Kenny flaked on us again. Love Kenny. However, I don't like his, I guess I don't like his ability to keep a calendar. Yeah, I don't, I didn't love. This one was hard because it's like, Kenny's definitely not my hero. But it's one of those type of things. He's not my hero either. I didn't say he was. He's probably Michael's here. No, no. But it's one of those things where it's like they say don't meet your heroes or whatever. And it's like, unfortunately we're in a situation where like we've shown the almost of respect, the utmost of planning.

And like, hey, we are, you know, it's not cheap to do, to bring a whole operation, right, from Michigan. to New York, to Manhattan, which is what we committed to to make it as easy as possible for Kennedy to do the podcast. And we committed a couple times. And it's unfortunate that we weren't able to make it happen. I would be open to doing it again, but it would have to be on our terms, unfortunately. You know, it's a tough thing. I'm sorry to fans, really. I'm sorry to the fans.

Everybody's welcome. Probably after my last rant, he's not going to want to. Probably not. He's not going to really feel welcome. But that's okay. Probably not. Here's a thing. I get it.

People are busy. However, we gave you a month and a half minimum. him. Pierre sent you an actual itinerary where you could just pulled your finger over it and it goes into your Google calendar. It was there. We came out to New York for other things. However, this is a business trip. We've been working all day. We're going to be working the rest of the weekend. And it's unfortunate because I would have loved to sat down and just had a conversation with. That's what we do. We just have conversations. Yeah. However, moving on, Pierre wants to write his wrongs for his bullshit opinions on Rachel. So we'll give him, I mean, he's got like a damn near, like,

It's like a girl broke up with him and sent him like a two-page long text message. That's what I'm looking at on his notes right now. So go ahead, Pierre. We'll give you some, we'll give you the floor. I do have quite a few notes. So sit tight, buckle up, all right, and just get ready to have some opinions. Okay. Yeah, go to sleep.

That's fine. So the first thing that I want to say is everybody, like the number one comment rebuttal to the whole Rachel criticism is, bro, Pierre, you got to watch the old seasons. You got to check her out, right? So I think the dual two was her last season before All Stars 4, right? And we're talking 10 plus years. I'm thinking it's closer to 15, but that's 10 plus years ago. So in any profession, especially in sports, especially in production, if you look at somebody 10 plus years ago, they're totally different players.

They're totally different capabilities. They're totally different achievement. Okay. LeBron 10 years ago, no comparison. Now, any female. Okay. But you're also the biggest LeBron Glazer in the world. That is true.

And he's still out there putting up 30-some points. So, yes, your athletic ability does. But is he winning championships? I mean, he's never really been great. He's never been. He's never been, he was at nine straight finals, but we'll put that to the side. From 22,000 to 2009 straight finals, but that's fine. He's not Jordan.

That's fine. I know what's that he is. Now everyone's going to hit on you more. Here's my point. Okay. So anything that somebody did 15 years ago, call it 10 years ago. No problem. It is closer to 15, but let's call it 10 years ago.

I'm sorry. It has no bearing on what's happening in the last two, three years, and I don't give a shit. No problem. We're not talking about goat debate. We're not saying where she is in the goat status. Right now, where you are as a competitor, please stop telling me she's the best girl there. Please stop telling me she's the best girl there. It doesn't matter.

I didn't say she was the best girl there. But now, let me ask you something. I have more, but go ahead. Go ahead. Finish whatever you have. No, no, no, no, go ahead. Ask it a natural conversation. No, go ahead.

Okay. I don't even, I'm not listening. I'm not listening. That's fine. I don't know. Okay, go ahead. Okay. So, no problem.

But, believe it or not, I did want to humor everybody. I did. So I was like, you know what? Let me go back. Let me go watch. Let me see what everyone's talking about, okay? So I threw on her most recent season that she won, which was the dual two, right? And the first episode is not available on Paramount Plus, but I started with episode two.

The Adam's situation. Yeah, she took Adams head and cheese heated against the wall. So she's not really featured in episode two, but in episode three was the first time that she's featured. Okay. And in the first daily challenge, it's the mud pit challenge where they're standing on a rope and they have to knock each other off. Okay. in this heat, obviously, athletically, she's at a different level,

but what I saw, that concludes the free preview of the Zach Nichols podcast. So go to Patreon and subscribe to see the rest of the shit that we talk. Go do it. Now.
