Welcome back. Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. I'm here with America's favorite trout sniffer, the big feta cheetah. Oh my gosh. I never sniffed a trout in my life. That's not true. I don't eat fish. Everyone knows that.

I eat cats. I have so many directions. I go with that joke. I'm just going to ignore it like I do most of your really. I see the elevator won't reach the top shelf today. Well, the top floor. Oh, hey. For some.

Keeping that IQ at room temp. For some, for some, you're catching, you're picking up what I'm putting down. Sharp as a bag of marbles over there. Yeah. Let's talk about your outfit. Let's talk about it. What do you think? I love the sweater.

You do? Yeah, it's very slimming on you. Like I tell you all the time. Thanks. Thanks. No, actually black in red is a slimming. They are. They are.

And I took a page from your book today. I've got the shoes on. Boom. That match. There you go. Little J's. J's on my feet. but yeah man i like your shirt pretty cool let's go detroit mixing it up a little bit and wait

those two teams play each other this week don't they did that on purpose see that looks like someone's reaching the top floor someone's elevator oh yeah you're thinking about it the lions yeah yeah no there's been a lot of uh a lot of chatter online about your teams you know in the way that you choose them anyways how's your week my week is great dude it's been relaxing yeah getting ready for the holiday seas fucking freezing though yeah i don't like the cold anymore I used to not mind it. Yeah. Now it hurts.

Mm-hmm. Everything. Yeah, just stepping outside. It's tough. That's why whenever people are like, yeah, Michigan weather's, when you're younger, you're like, dude, you're soft,

but now you get older, you're like, I get it. Yeah, I don't want to be here in the winter anymore. I get it. Yeah, I get it. That whole snowbird thing, it makes a lot more sense.

For sure. Yeah. There's nothing good to happen when it's 12 degrees out. No. You don't even want to get the mail. All right. Listen, don't, don't lose your Michigan roots.

You know, we got, No, no, I'll never live my Michigan roots. I'm just trying to, I don't like the cold. It's not that much better in New York. I'm not talking, I'm talking about it everywhere. I don't like cold weather anymore. I used to not mind it.

I went to school where it was like frozen. That part. When you used to go to school in northern Michigan, which is essentially Canada. Yeah. And now you're, now you can't handle it. I hate the cold. Made up for a lost time. But from April until end of October, early November, I mean, you can't beat it.

Yeah. Well, summers are great. Falls are amazing. This fall was, we had, we would basically went from Indian summer to North Pole in about a week. Crisp, like the cold chomps on your skin, it's so cold. You think of the cold as its own entity or do you think of it as the absence of heat? I think the cold. Because like thinking about like the absence of heat makes it makes more sense to me now.

So cold is its own entity and heat is the thing that masks it. Is that what you're saying? No, I'm just, I've heard people. will say coldness is just the absence of heat. It's fair. That's fair. That means you always live with cold and the heat is like a gift. Right.

Yeah. I'll buy that. Yeah. I'll buy that. So that just, that just lends to we should play golf as much as possible. I always do. Yeah.

We got to escape. Yeah, we got to escape it. All right. Well, it's been a long week, but let's get back into the episode, unless there's something else you want to discuss. It has been a long week.

Has it? It's weird. It's Thursday already. I know. It's like, I don't know. season it's just it's not moving as fast as others have i don't know why uh maybe because they took a couple breaks though we should be two weeks ahead of where we're at but we had a break for

thanksgiving and a break for the vmAs yeah i get the one for thanksgiving but vmase i'm so that's lost on me right and i went to the vmays once when when was that 2000 and 12 or 13 what was in LA. What was the encounter that you remember the most, celebrity encounter? Lil Wayne in two chains. Weezy? Yes. You were like next to him?

Met him, yeah. Get the fuck out of it. Weezy F. baby. Yeah, I didn't know who One Direction was either. And everyone there was chanting One D. And I thought that was hilarious. So I started chanting One D. I had no idea that that was an actual band.

Yeah, one of those guys is dead now. Yeah, there's, you know, that happens. People die. Yeah, man. Don't do. drugs kids it's not good for you or being a boy band i guess well it does different things are you an in sync guy or a backstreet boys guy man that's a tough one i think i'm gonna give in sync the nod only because merry christmas happy holidays is quite possibly the greatest song ever made

you're gonna give instinct the nod over the backstree boys for the christmas song just for the christmas yeah that just takes it over the top but they're both great i would have if you had to pick one though you just that was the most vanilla. You got to pick one. You have pick a side. Yeah, I'm picking in sync. But that's why. I think their catalogs are both equally great.

But Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays is probably the greatest song ever made. I'm going to have to go with Baxter Boys. I'm a Baxter boys guy. Shaping my heart? Come on, man. Oh, dude. I'll never forget.

It's kind of mainstream now with the common athlete, like the college athlete. But I'll never forget the guy had the painted nails. And my dad's pretty traditional. And he's like, what are you fucking listening? too and watching. I'm like, it's the future, dad. Never painted my nails, but. Yeah, no, no, I didn't paint mine. I painted my toenails in the challenge. I was a couple

times. Oh, really? Yeah, you get bored. Yeah. Why not? Just toenails, though. I would never do my fingernails. Yeah. Because if my dad saw that, you kick my ass. We'll lip. Yeah. Um, so, uh, the show starts off with a flashback to Big Easy dying in a final. Presumably, um, yeah, and we see our boy Brad with a big heart trying to help him out. Well, with the crazy part about that that's not spoken about was he quote unquote died right and got carded off yeah but rumor on the street was at the rap party he was partying and drinking with everyone oh shit so people were pretty pissed at him for that oh he faked it didn't he cost his team like yeah they lost the win because of him but they also could have just like drug him there and finished first

but uh yeah no he was partying pretty hard at the after party pissing off a lot of people so note to anyone who dies on a team final don't party the hardest right afterwards because it doesn't look good what's your opinion on big easy there's a there's some rumors about all stars five and bringing back some some guys and is he you know someone you want to see back or i always love seeing big easy we have beef back in the day oh really yeah i mean about what my team targeted him on battle the seasons and then uh we had a little twitter battle oh little twit little twitter battle yeah Okay. Was the hatchet buried?

Oh, yeah. I don't know problems from my end. Well, I don't know how he feels about me. From one beanbag to presumably other. I haven't seen him, but he was a bigger guy. He's in good, he's lost a lot of weight.

He's in good shape. Okay. I don't know he's in good shape, but I know he's lost a lot of weight from those days. What do you feel about bigger people being on the challenge? Is it, uh, doesn't bother me. You're like, let's go,

big into the final, buddy. Yeah, bring, I want them in the final against me. Exactly. Yeah, no, I, I don't have any issues with him. He finished, uh, All-Stars 2 final, I think. Oh, okay.

So he's been in the mix somewhat recently, then. Yeah, he was on All-Stars 2, I think. Okay. Maybe a couple other ones. But yeah, he made it decently. He made it to the final. Yeah. I just love seeing Brad because, like, the guy,

he's got the biggest heart, man. I just, you don't want to get on his bad side. Brad? Yeah. Yeah, no, you don't want to get as bad. Unless for Dorel, and you don't care. I know. Dorel does not kill him.

Okay. So we come back from Jenny's elimination over Aviv. In Bananas's interview, he says that Corey is they used. car salesman of the challenge and he'll say anything whenever he needs to to anyone at any time and that his social game is falling off.
