Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. As you already know, we decided to pull a pivot because for obvious reasons, War of the Worlds 2 is hard to find online anywhere on any streaming services. I'm hoping I hope it becomes available at some time in the future. We all know why, but great season. It's a shame that it is not able to be watched, but we're going to start covering vendettas. That being said, I hope you guys thoroughly enjoyed the Nate interview. sounds like you did and stay tuned because you know what we're not really holding ourselves any schedule

this off season like if we get OGs in or people from past challenges or real world seasons like we're just going to like bounce around so we are going to be covering Vendetta's episode by episode that being said if you know if someone is willing to come in and we and it fits the schedule like we're going to have them in and we're just going to put it out there so stay tuned because it's going to be a random but very fun off season. And if anyone loves randomness, it's this guy. 100%. Yeah, he loves Randy's.

I do love my occasional random. Depends on the night. Not many Randy's in 2025, though. Am I right? Listen, that was for people to interpret whatever they want to think about that conversation. But how do you like my ensemble today, my outfit? I love it because it was the gift that I gave you for Christmas. It was.

It was. So Zach got me some. Christmas slash house warming gifts. And I put this one on. You know, it said one size fit most whenever I open the box. It's literally why I got it for him because it said oversized hoodie. One size fits most. And I was like, oh, yeah, I got someone that'll challenge that.

And so I bought it. And it looks comfortable. It looks like a normal hoodie. Like maybe a half size too big. It has a lot of storage space. Yeah. Sure. Yeah, there's a lot of fun.

There's activities here. You know, just a little bit of this, a little bit of that. You don't want to know what he keeps in his hoodie pockets. It's foul. But anyways. You know, it's going to replace the under the rolls. Normally I would just keep like a little twinkie up in there, but now I got a pocket for that. So we're good now.

Bro, when's the last time you had a Twinkie? Be serious. Be honest. Within the last six months. Okay. Yeah, they're back. Are they? They're back.

That's news to me. I don't think my parents wouldn't let me eat Twinkies when I was a kid. Bro, they are. They're cream filled as ever. They're Brittany Thornton in this episode. Really? Disgusted. What?

That's so foul. It's Brad, dude. It's not me. The only cream-filled thing that's been in my life for the last five years is Jenna. So I don't know what you're talking about with Twinkies. So. Listen, just like, just so you know about the Twinkie. Okay.

If you, you open it up, open up the wrapper. Turn it over. Okay. There's three holes that cream goes into. Four after you get a hole. Okay. Bro, I honestly, I bet I can count on one hand how many Twinkies I've eaten in my life. Yeah.

Really honest. My mom and dad wouldn't buy them. Dude, that's spongy. So do you buy them at the grocery store? Is it just like, like, you randomly run into a Twinkie somewhere? Like someone's like, yeah, I got an extra Twinkie on. No, you, listen, if it's not December and I'm going for those Christmas cakes, it's. Okay, yeah, I've had a couple of those.

Yeah, it's Twinkies or I like three, there are three of the main food groups. There's a Twinkies. there's the Swiss rolls and there's the classic hostess, bro, with the cursive. Yeah, I think I've had one of those in the last 20 years. Yeah, those are great. Actually, I don't think I've had fast food since 2018. That's the last time I had McDonald's, Wendy's, or Taco Bell. I'm like thinking I really want to expose you right now.

The big three. But I feel like. What did I have? I don't know, but I'm like going through the mental. Chick-Balay I've had. Yeah, but that's, yeah. I haven't had Taco Bell since before 2020. I'm going to try to think of something.

I'm going to expose you. But I... No, go ahead. Because if you do, like, correct me if I'm wrong, but I really honestly... I don't know. It's not in my mind.

All right, well... Because I haven't had it. Yeah. I remember the last time I had Wendy's. Funny story. I should tell this story. So... Tell it.

We were going to a barbecue on a Sunday, Jenna and I. No kids yet. Maybe we were engaged. I think we were engaged. I don't think we were married yet. And I'm like, listen, like, I'm not trying to go to a barbecue with you on Sunday

because I got to work on Monday. And she, like, used to like, to party. You know. Oh, yeah. And I'm like, she's like, oh, no, like, it'll be a chill. I won't get too drunk kind of a thing. I'm like, all right. So I went to this barbecue. I had a couple beers. And it's like six o'clock. And I'm like, all right. Like, I have to work tomorrow. I wake up super early. You ready to go? She's like, hold on. Like, we're just going to like take a couple shots. And I'm like, what? I literally in the span of like 20 minutes, watch her take a shot of vodka. I shot of tequila. I shot a fireball. Like, and a shot of whiskey. We literally make it to the car and she said, yeah, I don't feel good. I'm like, yeah, I believe it. You shouldn't. And it wouldn't be normal if you did.

Yeah, we get back to our house and she's like, I think I have to go to the doctors. And I'm like, come on. And she's like, all right, we have to go. So we go to the doctors. She goes in. And I couldn't go in with her because I think this was 2020. Yeah, this is Sunday. We're talking an emergency room type deal.

We just went to a place up in Howell, Michigan, Livingston County. And she goes in there and she'll kill me for telling the story. and she tells him that she has food poisoning. And the doctor later called her out and was like, no, you're hammered. And like two hours later she comes out with her tail between her legs. And I'm like, what happened? Did you tell them what really happened? She's like, no, I just told him that food poisoning.

And they just made me sit there and sober up. So it was like 9 o'clock, 10 o'clock now. And I'm like, I'll get some Wendy's? And that's the last time I had Wendy's. Wow. The last time at McDonald's was on the way to my cottage in like 2017. We stopped and I got a couple snack wraps. So that's the last time.

Cadillac, Michigan, baby. That's the last time you remember eating fast food. Those are last time I had McDonald's. The last time I had Wendy's, the last time I had Taco Bell, I was blacked out in Muskegan. Shout out to Muskegan. Me and the Armstrongs ran up $147 bill at Taco Bell. That's great. And then shut down the bathrooms, if you know what I'm saying.

Oh, I sure do. You don't eat Taco Bell. You don't like. There's a couple things I get there. I'm sure there is. Chicken Casi D extra grilled. So good. Listen, stop going to feds.

food restaurants and having specific orders. Like it's a five-star record. No, listen, they're supposed to do it my way. And I know I'm not talking about Burger King. Yeah, Burger King. Do you like Burger King? Sorry. It's not one of the,

it's not on the Mount Rushmore. It's not in the, no, it's not, what's the number one? Like, what's the, like McDonald's is obviously the number one about Rushmore.

Yeah. But like, only because their breakfast is at a different tier than all other fast food. Well, they're the original breakfast server. Yeah. Yeah.

Their breakfast, their biscuits are, You know, they're there to die for it. After that, though, then it goes Chick-fil-A in and out's okay. You just pissed off the whole West Coast. No, no, no, I like it. I just would never get it before midnight. If it's after midnight, yeah, they're the best option, for sure.

Hmm. Just my personal opinion. So you would go McDonald's, Chick-fil-A. Yeah. In-N-Out three? Probably. I mean, Wendy's is in there just because of regularity. But, like, if I'm on the West Coast, yeah, in-and-out is three.

I feel that. I get that double, double, triple sometimes if I'm feeling... I get the quad. Quad, triple. A lot of you love that beef, dude. Listen. Beefcake. If you're going to get it, do it right.

All right. Animal style. We know. Animal style is how the first two were conceived as well. You got, that's off menu. You have to order that off menu. You got to take that one home. So, vendettas, which, by the way, this is a very special season for me to cover.

because it's the first time I get to cover a season that you're on. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to be analyzing your every move. Go ahead. It was flawless. Literally. Like, if you're going to analyze one season that I did, this is the one because I don't even think I got, and Michael, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think I got in one argument

the entire season. Oh, I'm going to be fucking looking for it. I was just talking shit about everyone behind their backs and just make a move. So to preface this, after. X's 2. I took a much needed break. I took a two season break. I got asked to be on bloodlines, said no. Well, actually, I didn't say no. I couldn't find a family member. Then I got asked to be on rivals 2. And I just was like, no, I'm not, not ready yet. Then that would have been your partner for rivals 2?

Three. Oh, sorry, rivals 3. Who would have? There was a lot of options at that point. I'm not sure who it would have been, but there was a, there was quite a few. Okay.
