Welcome back to the Zach Nipples podcast. Zach loves nipples. Did I say nipples? And we learned from Mrs. What's her name again? Bushowitz. Don't even blur it out. What's she going to do?

She was my first grade teacher. She actually hot or she just had the melons? You know what's crazy? I don't even know if I remember what she looked like. I just because I probably only stayed. But you remember the name. I remember her name. I remember all my teacher's name.

I can go through from kindergarten all the way through. It's pretty good. I know all my teachers, but she... That's when he became Zach Nipples. She was... She was mid-20s. Oh. Teaching first graders.

Then I had an old bag as a second-grade teacher. Those were the best teachers. Third grade. Oldish dirt. Probably dead now. Fourth grade, not dead. But she did hit on me when I went back to visit her after I graduated college. Get out of here.

Yes. So my sister was a student teacher for her because my sister was going to be a teacher until she got knocked up a bunch of times. Then she just pulled the Chris and was like, I don't need to work. In wedlock. I went, yeah. I went back and she was like hitting on me. Wanted me to be a butler at one of her like house parties.

And I was like, no. What a freak. Yeah. And fifth grade was the lady who had, I think she lost the leg climbing a mountain, but she told me I was never graduate high school. She sucked. Well, you proved them all wrong. You graduated.

Not only high school. I graduated college. There you go. I also was a certified in CPR, so fuck off. Mr. I'm gonna' again. Miss. The Cavs, two things that I don't care if they're on this earth.

Caves, man, they got embarrassed the other day. Didn't they go to overtime? They didn't go to overtime. They had a 22-point lead with seven minutes left. Anywho, by popular demand, we will be covering the final reckoning. According to TJ, the third in the trilogy of the 30s era. You know who else is a-you- know who has a reckoning coming? Who?

my good friend Laurel. Big reckoning coming. Let's talk about Laurel. She's been active on the socials. Yeah, the drums. He's been dramatic. It just comes out of nowhere. It comes from somewhere, but it comes out of nowhere.

Yeah, just randomly she decides to just shit all over Carmaria and pose very offensive memes in doing so. Yeah, what did you think about that interaction? Because it seems like Cara speaks on the world and Laurel speaks on Kara. I think you want my psychoanalysis from my minor. Yeah, let's see your cycle analysis. I just kind of feel like, and for the longest time, Laurel always had like the leg up on Kara.

Now after, especially what happened on 40, a lot of people were like, damn, that was brutal. And they took Kara's side. And Kara also kind of has had like a rejuvenation in her character. You know, she came back. She was the, she got bullied. When Cara gets bullied, people love her. she got bullied on all stars people love the shit out of that because like they love that like she

rises up and whatever if car would have won on all stars it would have been like the world like the TVs would have exploded with love for her and I think after what happened on 40 laurel finally started to get some backlash and I think that bothered her so much that now she's trying to capitalize off anything cara says that may or may not be controversial by just taking the other side and trying to expose her. But what was funny was like the things that she posted, like making fun of Kara, could have been

offensive to some people. Like Michael. Michael was probably offended by that. Like, what are you talking about now? Yeah. I can't get it. Oh, yeah. Okay, so Michael is black. For those of you guys who don't know.

I didn't know for like a year. So Michael is black. Actually, Michael, I want you to come here and talk about this because apparently Kara said something about what she said something about black people. Yeah, have it on this camera. Come and talk about this for a second. Am I good? Yep.

All right. Yeah, I did see the meme that she posted. I saw what Laura was talking about. And honestly, I didn't get it. No, I was straight up with you. I didn't get it. No, I mean, it was just like, I don't know, some people found it offensive from the comments that I was reading. because I love reading the comments.

But what I'm saying is like you make it seem like Laurel like constantly will say stuff and I love Laurel. But she'll constantly say stuff like I don't even care. Like I'm better than her or this and that. Well, if you're better than somebody, then why do you have to constantly try to drag them through the mud? Right. I mean, a lot of people.

That's what I'm trying to say. She cares. 100%. Well, and I think it's something that I don't know if I heard you say before. I've heard quite a few people say before. But successful people don't comment on. other people, like what other people are doing. They are too busy focusing on their own success.

And I'm not saying she's not successful, but like, you could literally be doing anything else with your free time than commenting on cars, TikTok live, you know? Like, why are you watching it? Right, exactly. And then even if you aren't watching it, oh, people sent it to me. Yeah, okay. You cared enough.

Exactly. But the problem is, I didn't get the meme. It was some black guy like, like, by- Scraping his teeth against a, tree. As a black guy, I don't get it. I don't get it. Yeah.

Yeah, it was a little weird. It was just, it was one of those things that you're just like, what is going on? Like, we're, they're in their 40s. Yes. I'm not a much younger.

Yeah, I just, I didn't understand it. I don't, I, I didn't get offended by it by any means, but at the same time, I did get that feeling of like, why are you using a black guy to, try to reference Kara. It didn't make sense.

It was a miss. Right. And I'm still trying to wait and see what Jemmy says because I'm sure Jemmy will have plenty to say about her. Because I love her opinion too. Like I think she's always spot on with her opinions. She's, you know. As someone who knows her world through the right lens, Jemmy.

As someone who knows her, is that, but like is it something common to what she does? She always has to have her hand on the drama. Is she always trying to interject in what everybody. else is do it is this a normal thing for her oh yeah yeah yeah it's also normal that we can all smell her through the phone in the camera so anyways but like i just was like i had to bring it up like because we're a challenge podcast we talk about the challenge and that's very that's stuff that's going on right now anyways laurel love you have you on the podcast come through i'd love to ask you uh

why you feel a need to constantly comment on things that cara does when there's people out there that are doing much you know just real dumb shit that we don't hear from you on uh but love you to death, would love to have you come on the couch again. Maybe we can get you back on the live show in Detroit. It's just a blast. Maybe Pierre can drive you all around to Michigan to run your errands for you again. Your great friend Laurel. Yeah, I love Laurel.

I do. I love Laurel. All right, I can do that. All right. So final. Oh, we're doing that? Yeah, let's do it. Let's break it out.

I don't even need it. Yeah, you're good. I was there. Well, here, let me start at the top. I don't know if you remember this team or not. Zach and Amanda. That was a fucking squad. Very intimidating team.

Yeah. I'd say so myself. Let's go through your accolades because you're the only one on the team with some. So let's just break it down. Yeah, hers ends at five seasons. Four. Can't even make it that far. Yeah.

Three finals for you. One championship. And this is your seventh season. One championship, a second, and a third. So I've pretty much got the gold, the bronze, and the seven. Silver. Trifecta. Yep.

Now, with that being said, like, how are you feeling coming into this season after coming off of, essentially in a male's first place? Let me explain this. So I wasn't even supposed to be on this season. If I remember it correctly, I made a lot of my moves in everything I did off a camera on Vendettas. And that was not sitting well, in my opinion, with production. I don't think they liked that I was being a,

covert agent and because in my mind I'm like I'm gonna just keep getting casted and I can't have all this dirty air like I can't have all this dirty laundry on the air right so they don't think they like that really because like I really didn't have like a political story in vendettas but I was the one I feel like in the control around like the wizard of Oz and so they originally made me an alternate and Jenna was like you know like our relationship is finally like really good like I'm all set and they were like, well, why? And she's like, I don't really think like, you know, I want to do it if Zach's not going to be there. So like a week, like a couple days later, they like moved me over to main cast.

And Jenna's like, okay, I'll do it. So I think she got me on this season. That's how I remember it. I'm sure she would confirm that. But I do remember I was supposed to be an alternate for vendettas. Johnny pulled some strings, I think, got me on there. Actually, Johnny's manager at the time, Dave. Thanks, Dave.

And then I didn't sign the contracts when they were to pay him for it. but thanks Dave. He got me on Vendettas. And then again, yeah, it was just like whatever. So I went into the season thinking like, okay, like I got to stir it a little bit. And I, so I think that me being Amanda's partner, I think that was supposed to be Jenna's partner. Oh. Because at that point, like, I had never actually met Amanda in person.

Wow. I had never seen. I mean, I'm trying to think. Oh, no. that back. 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.
