Hey you guys, it's Brittany from The Challenge and Are You the One? Come join us for a bunch of shit talking and a few shenanigans and a little bit of giggles and laughter. Love you guys. See you guys on the flip side. All right. Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. We're here with one of, I bet it would be easier to get Donald Trump on this couch than it would to get Brittany Palmer. That's true. You have no idea.

It's been multiple years. But, yeah, too long, too long. Like, you don't understand. You don't know, but it would be like a message, hey, like you should come on the podcast. Brittany would be like, I'm down. Let's set it up. Don't hear from her for six weeks. Then I'd be like, yo, like, let's get this going.

And she'd be like, absolutely. And then Pierre texts her. She's like, yeah, I'm down. What are we going to do it? And I was like, no way. Energy was always good. The schedule was questionable. Listen, listen.

But one thing you got to, I know about Brittany is if she says she's going to be somewhere, she's going to be there. So before then she never, she just said, I'll do it. She didn't say when. Because there were. several challenge people who R.SVPed for my and Jenna's wedding that did not show up. But guess who came

swagging up? Well, actually it was funny because the party bus rolls off. And Brittany literally, like, we get off the party bus and who's there? It's Brittany. And I was like, you have no idea how much this means to me that you showed up because that was great. So, welcome to Detroit. Thanks for having me, guys.

Master shout out. Master shout out to Brittany. Palmer, formerly Thornton, in the high. house and welcome. Thank you so much. You are a mother of two. You made time to come out. Leave the life. Thank you so much for being here. Absolutely. Thanks you guys so much for freaking having me. For real. Well, one thing. It's about being time. It's only been three years in the making. That's right. One thing he told me though is like, no, no, you don't understand. Britney's box office.

Once she's here, it's going to be a lot of fun. And it has been nothing but fun since you've arrived. We have a lot to talk about. It's been a while since the people have seen you. But what's our reckoning, right? Yeah. Yeah. My little bitty, tiny fucking speckling. Yeah. After I worked out the way I was a beast mode, bro.

I was training with Brad. So you can definitely imagine what it's like training with Brad, Furenza. Oh, yeah. Right? And that's what I was doing. Look, on that season, the final reckoning,

I was legit on my third grave while CT was still on his first, digging that shit up. Shit. All right. That was all due to me busting ass and training with gangsters. All right.

Yeah. Well, I thought, originally I thought you were going to be my partner for that season. Same. And then when we got brought up to the top of that mountain, you were like,

there's no way you're not with Brad. So I was like, it made more sense. I was doing the happy dance up top of that mountain. Like, I'm digging up, Brad.

It was like, my season's easy. So you, let's talk about the season. You've been training in the off season. you and Brad are somewhat going strong from the Vendetta's days, right? Third season straight for it, too. Third season straight, about third season straight, you're a mainstay.

Making it till right before the finals. And I'm not going to lie, that first one, the first, so dirty 30, about six, seven weeks in, right there. I just had a, I tapped out mentally, you know, like, you definitely know how it is. There's a certain point where you mentally, physically you're in, but mentally, you are not intuned, right? It just scarred to that rookie wall. He ran right into it. Yeah, yeah, hard. People are, they're like, at first, like, this is awesome, so much fun.

Six weeks in your little vets, you're like, these people are crazy. Give me out of here. Well, let's start at the very, very beginning of your story. Reality TV, how did you get here? Did you ever watch MTV? Like, first of all, we always give around a plot for real MTV, kids. Which is crazy because back in the day, we wouldn't have considered already the one. Y'all hated us, bro.

And then, Roe Road versus Fibon, are you the one? It was it. We hate you guys until the Big Brother people showed up. No, they're cool. Family. We're cool. We're cool. We're cool.

No, legit. On Vendettas, all of a sudden, we were y'all's best freaking friends. And I'm like, oh, where was this energy last year? Brother and the Brits showed up, we were like, are you the one counts? Yeah. It was such bullshit at the same time, though. Like, no, you don't deserve my energy. So naturally, immediately it was like, hey, big brother.

Those be partners. Right, right. And there is so much drama. But you was MTV, something. something you always wanted to do. How did you get on it? Talk about kind of like growing up and where was MTV and being on reality TV in your scope of what you wanted to do in life? Okay. So what's crazy is my mom actually got me. So I was Miss teen Hawaii back when I was 16, right? And then I moved to Augusta, Georgia. And I've always been interested in modeling,

acting, all that stuff. Yeah. So my mom, I started working at Hooters when I was 19 years old, 2010. Shout out of Hooters. We love you, honey. Make her the CEO, please. Please, I so would. You'll bring them back. Oh, my God. I will bring back all the OG food, baby.

Vote me in. Wait, Hooters is done? No, it's not done. It's not done. But they needed to, I think they did a full rebrand. No, it's full. You're rebrand tithies. You know.

They've been hot since the beginning of time, right? If you're trading titties, it's better be for ass. Only the thing you're trading titties. Look, I'm going to say this. You know. Hooters has gone to shit when they closed the one beside the Masters of Augusta, Georgia. She's talking. Just John Daly didn't qualify for the jury.

He left. He ain't there no more, honey. So there's no, but they were like, wait, our only customer who brought people in here is wrong. Yeah. Well, you know what's funny is that they knocked down that Hooters to build the Masters golf lot for the women because they're like, no. We're not allegedly having these women play on our course. so we're building them their own course. So that's why.

It's fitting on a Hooters? The whole, bro, they bought off a whole road off of an interstate. From the interstate all the way to the Masters is bought out. As soon as their rents are up for those buildings, snatched. Masters are gone as if they never existed. Think about the effort you have to say you have to do to be like, no, you're not playing our course. We'll just build your house. Yeah, so they just bought out my husband.

That just shows you like how long it's been of women ruining men's good time. they're like listen we can't let you ruin the dude's got the guy time so we're going to build you guys your own and i'm over here like but let me be your catty bro i'll show y'all a good time like i'll get you nice and liddy city city honey they have drink girls on the master's course i think so no i'm so kidding just because they hate us women so badly i'm sorry it's such a bad job i think no it's funny it is funny it is funny you know you're They hate women. So that was an incredible tangent, but you were working at Hooters in 2010. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, in 2010. Nice. So how did you get on TV? Like, there was a path there somewhere. Right, back on topic. Sorry, fuck it off. Always steals the show. No, that was incredible.

That was fucking incredible. Golf always does steal the topic. But, yes, so Hooters, and then how does that get you on TV? Okay, so my mom, I got into, she submitted my stuff to get into need for speed. A bunch of random stuff in Atlanta that was. filming, right? So I got in for Need for Speed. I was considered a hot girl. If you watched Need for Speed, I'm right in the beginning at the outside theater. You'll see me when the cars pull up. There's, what is it? Dakota. Is that what they considered you? Girl, you're a hot girl.

A hot girl, bitch. I was featured hot chick, okay? God, I would love to have that on my resume. Is that not the coolest thing ever? Yeah, hot chick. Yeah, hot chick. That was it. That was mine. Yeah. My check said hot chick. Here's my references. It was pretty cool. Cool. So then after that, there was Tyler Perry movies, the movie Vacation with the spinoff of National Lampoon with Jessica. Right. You know, the spinoff, the vacation. It's so good. I'm the chick making out with the other hot chick at the college school. Oh, makeout chick. Beautiful Puerto Rican. Oh, she's gorgeous.

What? I think she still follows me. So, gruff, you see this? Message me. I want to chat. It's been a long time. Let's make some content. Are you on Only fans? And then, it was cool. Ball's rolling. Well, so my mom submitted me for all these random fucking freaking movies. You can go out.
