Welcome back. What's going on, guys? Nothing much, bro. Playoff baseball in Detroit. I'm loving it. It's so cool. I literally, I can name one guy on the Tigers. I was talking about this yesterday.

I was like, I can name one guy on the Tigers. That's just because I randomly saw a post about Scoobel after his amazing night a couple days ago. Other than that, I'm like, my next guest would be like Granderson and he's been gone for like 10 years. or, Rudy Granderson. I think another guy, like, Fielder, Prince, I don't, listen, if I'm on a route for baseball team, it's going to be the Tigers,

but like I haven't actually, I don't think I've ever watched a whole baseball. I'm not a Tiger Savon either. I do love playoff baseball. The one thing I love about baseball is the players, whether you're Hispanic or white, have the most baseball names ever. So on the Tigers roster right now,

there's a guy named Spencer Torkelton. All right. What makes that a baseball name? It just is. It's just Spencer Torkelton, dude. there's another guy named Dylan Dingler. Come on, that's baseball. That sounds like,

that sounds like something you find in your underwear. A little Dylan Diggler? Yeah. Dingler? I also probably couldn't tell you a single player on the Red Wing. So like, I'm. Fair enough. I don't, you know, shit.

Equal parts oblivious. Yeah, if I got to pick a team, it's going to be Detroit. I'm a big Detroit fan, but I'm just not a, I'm just not a baseball guy. I don't watch a whole lot of hockey. I barely watch the Pistons. I watch any play, any team that makes the playoffs. I'm watching.

And we're all about it. If I have a tea time, I'm doing that instead. Like, I don't give a shit. For sure. Well, speaking to Detroit, we bring the stars here. We just had Challenge Media Live. Shout out to them. And then we had a little show with,

well, you had the show. I was there. Hell of a show wasn't that. That's fun. It was. Yeah, give them a lot of credit, man. They put on a good show. If there was like the decibel meter in there,

it was the loudest when Leroy and I came out. Oh, without question. Oh, yeah. Without question. Fuck off, Wes. So, first of all, How was it on stage? What was it like seeing West and Nani and kind of talking to them behind stage?

Like how was that? You know, I know it'd been a while. Like I never skipped a beat with either. Fit like a glove, huh? Yeah, dude. West still ties his shoes as tight as he possibly can. Like he's about to play one on one at any moment.

Nani looks great. She sure does. He got by Scott pretty much the entire show. No. We're not cutting it. We're not cutting it. All right. Well,

he got, she got exposed. She got exposed for her. her, you know, off the court, extracurricular revenue. As if her Instagram hasn't done that enough. But it's just like, it's like one of those things you don't talk about. And Scott just seemed to want to bring it up every moment he got. Yeah, he was talking about it.

Chill on the only fans promotion. A lot of you guys have been curious about how, you know, just us interacting with West. And I'll just say this. The guys is as charming as ever. He is. I knew you were going to, I said you're going to like him when you meet him. Like, it's a, he puts on a, it's a character on TV. and you don't like that character, but you got to love the guy.

Yeah, absolutely. I'm looking forward to the potential of talking to him. He seemed open to it. So we'll see what lies in store. So that was fun. So hopefully we'll have more to talk about face-to-face. So we'll see there. Okay, well, let's come back to this episode.

We got Theo and Adrian coming back from beaten CT and Tay. Theo feels confident about working with her, and we realize what's happening upstairs. I heard a rumor. I'm not going to tell anyone who I heard it from. But it's from a lesbian on my season. of the real world. She told me my favorite person.

She told me that CT was checked out a while ago and the T that Sam, oh shit, that my friend told me was that CT was ready to go and told D.C. that if it was any other elimination around besides pole rustle,

he was going to throw it. I don't know how much truth there is of that, but that's just what a friend of mine said. I don't even know if I believe it. That's kind of crazy. I mean, only because they rallied against, you know, against Adrian. I don't believe it. And that's just a rumor. I like to. I don't believe it for a second. I just don't, I just judging by number one, the politicking he did, which I don't think you do if you want to stay. If you don't want to, if you want to go home, he politicked. And they made that late run.

And he seemed, I don't know, pretty much, I'm not buying it. I don't believe it either. Sam, you're full of shit on this one. Love it wasn't Sam. Okay. So, okay, so whoever it was, you're full of garbage. Um, well, anywho, uh, we see the remnants of CT, including, um, a brush, um, some dirty panties. A couple of pities. This dude was combing his hair and doing puzzles in bed at 45 years old. A lot. Gotta love it, man.

It's awesome. Um, got to love it. Who else? I, I mean, I've never practiced a puzzle. Probably why I suck at them, but this guy doesn't need to practice puzzles. No, dude. What's the funniest thing you've ever either left in a house or seen left in a house after, um, they depart? I mean, dude, I don't know if I've ever.

ever left anything in a house. I found, I'm not going to say who's it was, but one time I had to pack somebody's bag up. Uh-huh. And they had herpes medication. Shut the fuck. That's funny. Actually, funny story about going through.

I want to know who in the comments who you think it is. We're never going to confirm or deny it. But just for fun, who do you think it is? I also. You know, there's a disclaimer on your contract that basically says, like, we're not liable for you getting a sexually transmitting. a disease on this show. Yeah, that needs to be there.

And then it literally says, like, there are people that are getting casted for their show that have dirty blood work. So that's something that comes up. One time, Nani and Moral of the Worlds, too, she was organizing Jordan stuff, and she actually found the ring that he ended up proposing to Tori with in his bag.

So Nani knew it was going to happen the whole season. Whoa. And she didn't even tell me. That's a big burden to carry. Yeah. I don't know, though. Like, what have people left? Natalie Negrotti left a fucking pound of glitter in my bed.

That sucked. Then I made her get fine for that. Uniforms shit. They have to shit somewhere. I always would like... I say uniforms or unicorns? Sorry, I'm stone. I would always, like, when people were about to get eliminated, I'd be like, give me your

fucking jersey. Yeah. And so I, they confiscated a few for me, but that's why I have Kyle's War of the World's Two warm up. But you don't leave anything. You make sure that you pack your bag appropriately if you're going into elimination. I mean, I might, I might. I might like nothing fun.

Like when you get your swag bag, the stuff we all get, like the underarmor stuff, now I think it's Mark said it was Aeropostal back in the day. Which is crazy. Now I don't even know what is it. I think it's UA might be. I know it was T. T. Y. Try. Tire. Whatever. Yeah. I would like.

Tier. If you get stuff that you don't really care about, you leave that. But I stole a pair of shoes from night once. He stole my shirts. But I never left. I don't know if I, I mean, besides Garfield. pitch. Yeah. You know. Okay. Well, Jake in his interview, he said that CT with his boy and Tay was like his little sister. You sure about that? She's pretty hot to be a sister. Ashley got her little

notebook. She's scheming with Aviv. They have a stranglehold on the numbers right now. Pretty close. Pretty tight. It seems, I don't know. I mean, it seems pretty tight. The new threats are kind of analyzing what it would take or what would motivate someone to stake their claim. Jeremy says, hey, might be a Hail Mary, might realize that they could spread out their alliance. There's only, like, what I don't like about is what I, my understanding is what, and this is what I think, the only proper time to truly stake your claim, it's like a get out of jail free. It's like if you know you're going to get voted in, if you know the numbers are against you, it's an opportunity to save yourself from going in. Now, Theo and Olivia used reverse psychology on Gabe to save Theo, which was, I mean, absolute brilliant gameplay. but my point is, is I'm only staking a claim if, for two reasons.

One, I know I'm going in and I want to save myself, so I'm going to stake a claim and go either for a better partner or get someone I can beat to save myself for that week, or you know the final is like a couple challenges away, and there's someone that if you can get them to be your partner, it's a slam dunk and you have a better chance of winning. But there's like when you, you got to be able to have, a feel for the numbers. What Gabe did,

just gonna be honest, it's kind of stupid. Oh, duh. It was fucking. Yeah. There's a lot to unpack about Gabe from this episode. I wish he was here for that. Now I know he wanted to come earlier in the season. He didn't want to get thrashed. We, uh, I love spending time with Gabe. You're gonna get it. You're gonna get it today though. Gabe's, listen, when he was here,

you're gonna get it today. The interactions we had, sweetheart of a guy. Nice guy. Great. Young though. You know, you gotta remember he's young. For sure. Um, um, But yeah, man, he was given some, uh, 2014 Zach Nichols lives out there for sure. He's gonna get it today. The kid is messy. He's, he's angry.

Which is whatever, listen. Pure TV. Yeah, I mean, here's the problem. 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.
