All right, welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. Make sure you get your tickets to Almo Draft House, our live show, Rigleyville, Ammo Draft House, June 6th. It's going to be explosive. It's going to be great. It's going to be great. We're going to have a lot of fun. Jolly.

We always have a lot of fun. First time in Chicago, I'm super excited about that. Shout out to all our Chicago fans. We'll see you soon. I feel like Chicago is a pretty big hotbed for challenge fans. I know. I think we've been messing up by not going there. I think we were just waiting for the perfect time.

I do too. Summer 2026. June 6th, 26. Do the people know your child's name, your unborn child's name yet or not yet? Do you know it? I do know it. I don't think they do. We're not hiding it from anyone, but I got to get permission from the boss to announce it.

All right. Well, we can bleep it, but if not, it's the year. We won't be calling him that. But that is his name, though. No. What is it? Okay. Nichols.

Nichols. Come on. No. Now you're going to make you watch Entourage again. Already watched it. I know again. Not really. This guy, man.

No, I watched it because I feel like I had to. Culturally you did. Yeah, I had to. And it was good, not great. It's not a show like, for example, like Sopranos, I've probably watched five to ten times through the office, 30 times through Ozarks, Breaking Bad, Bloodline. I've watched those a lot. I've even watched 13 reasons why twice. And that was terrible.

All right. You're getting in your bag right now. That was sad. Entourage is definitely rewatchable, but... Not for me. It's like the goat conversation. It wasn't, to me, it was good, not great. Do I need to watch it again? No, because also like, I don't know. I just didn't. I liked it didn't love it. Okay, fair enough. Maybe you've watched the sopranos. I have watched the sopranos. How many times? I think just the one, maybe two. You good, not great, right? I mean, I just, I just, prefer to, I prefer to laugh. That's what I like, I laugh all the way through Sopranos. It's hysterical. We have a little different

humor. Uncle Polly is hysterical. He is funny. Hey, T, take a look at this. You never forget a blow job. I mean, sometimes you do. Cipranos is hysterical. No, it can be funny. It can be funny.

But it's just the, just the mood is, more to the office and the parks and wrecks and that stuff. So anyways. Parks and Rec. I would love the first couple seasons, but it kind of falls off. Why? When they lost, uh... No, it just falls off.

Okay. All right. I think it's great. It's great. Maybe that last season will work. First couple seasons, great. And then it falls off to me. Okay.

I mean, the office falls off, too, once Michael Scott leaves, for sure. But it's, you know, you still hang on to that. You can't have a dynasty forever. Right. Things fade. Vendettas. Episode 11. This.

I turned it up. a notch for this episode. It's a pool party. That's how we get started. Devin was naked. I see that. I get why he has an only fans. Confident young man. Very confident. Would you ever have an only fans? People want to know. Just for my feet. Feet finder. And my dog's butthole. Anyway, shout out to Devin. No, I like going to my parents' house for the holidays. And I don't feel like I'd be able to go there if I had an OF. I don't think so either. No one, knowing what we know about

the Nichols family. No. Wouldn't be welcome. At all. You're barely welcome from going on reality TV. There was some years where I wasn't.

There you go. Leroy is up in his room and he kind of knows. He knows he's an easy name. Salking in the corner. I wasn't. He wasn't sulking. I twisted my ankle.

He was overreacting, I think. Because the only people that are going to say his name, in my opinion are Devin, Nelson, and maybe Brad. Well, he also can't be seen on camera celebrating and having good time after.

Oh, 100%. That's a big part of it. In a game sense, in a game sense, doesn't it seem a little bit smarter just to come out and fratinate a little bit and make it seem? Like, yeah, it pisses you off. But maybe play it off as like, hey, I get what you did. Like, play that card. I get why you did what you did.

You know, no hard feelings. You are so too real for that. For sure. He just can't. You're right, though. You're right, though. You definitely should. Say, hey, like, I see what you did.

I know you didn't come after me. Yeah, I got all of our chances are better now. Like that's all real stuff that he might have that in the back of his mind. Like I got to get back. Leroy has $0.00 in his bank account. Zero dollars. So that's probably also something that he did not like either. Yeah.

You guys are all getting money winning these challenges. He's been put on bad teams, whether it's swimming shit, whether it's, you know, situations where, you know, he hadn't been able to win. So did anything? Oh, yeah, the Natalie. in the Nelson thing. And she's pathetic, isn't she? She just, listen.

I'm starting to get the angst and the distaste for her by pretty much everyone that's done reality. Because she just... Besides Cam, Cam loves her. I mean, she's a flip flopper. Uh-huh. You know, like, she, I mean,

you know, she's mad. Well, and she also was hurt by Johnny, I guess. But also, like, again, can you really get mad at someone for making out with someone before you're really even, like, kind of a thing? This is the challenge. You're going to get mad at someone for one makeout on night one.

Right. You're a loser for that. Right. Carr didn't get mad at Kyle. In fact, Cara invited it. Yeah, she encouraged it. The thing, and by the way, I did follow Natalie on my personal Instagram recently. She's undeniably hot.

I'm sorry. I know you, you know, I know you guys might not think that. But I did, and I am kind of like, I'm going to try to, I'm going to slide up on something soon. I'm going to see. Who knows? I think she has a girlfriend. Am I allowed to date her? Like, can we still be friends if I date her?

Whatever you want. Oh, hell yeah, dude. All right. All right. I'm going to have to call in a favor. Anyways, anything romantic going on between not only Natalie and Nelson? No. Zero? Nothing. Okay. And then we did talk about it last episode, but did Kaylee and Johnny have anything that surfaced? Was that a rumor? Anything happened after that? I can't, I don't know. I actually don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, they left at the same time. They were dealing with these issues of, you know, somewhat having a relationship. We know they were friendly to the point where Kaylee voted for. you know, Devin instead of Nelson. I can't confirm or deny that. I actually have no idea. I don't want to speak on something I don't know about it.

Okay, fair enough. It is kind of funny how Natalie believed the story to the extreme immediately. Like, you know, what, what are you at the talking stage? Like, at best, how are you mad about this? Maybe they had done more. I also can't confirm or deny that. I have no idea. Okay.

If he can make out with Kaly and only one person knows, you certainly can make out with Natalie and have no people know. Oh, okay. Right. So they're going to take it to another level that we don't know about. So why would she be that upset? She's either the girlfriend after you break up, that calls and hangs up the phone,

or she has legitimate reasons, right, to be upset. I don't know. I have no idea. I literally was not, did not care because here's my thing. She's got Johnny as her number one, right? Had. Had.

She had Johnny as her number one. I'm not going to get in between that, right? I have my own group of girls that I have protected, that I am protected. I have no reason. They're doing great. They're doing absolutely fantastic. So I cannot confirm or deny that and I did not care.

Okay. Next they show it's Nicole's birthday, which they're able to celebrate in the house. They then detail at this time. There is a recent breakup between her and Laurel. Breakup number one after invasion war. Then they dated for 10 months. Kind of a long time.

Knowing Nicole intimately the way I do now and obviously seeing what happens later on All-Stars, there's clearly a connection between the two, whether it's healthy or volatile. Who knows? But where are you at with Nicole right now in the game? Where does she rank for you at this point? I mean, she's Tony's number one.

So she's my roommate. She's Tony number one. We know for sure Kayla and Kara are ahead of her. But where is she after that? Three or four, depending on how the game progresses. Yeah, so legitimately. Gemmy's also in my list too. Yeah.

So, yeah, I mean, it just, I didn't have to worry about, like, navigating that one as much because Tony, Tony had that kind of locked up in the bag. Tony's him. It's also his, they were on original season together. Right. Explosions. Yeah. Explosions. Right.

Skeletons. What's explosions? Supposed of something else? Oh, it was before that. Oh, skeletons. Skeletons. Tony, man. He's putting his skeletons in the closet, bro.

He's coming to Catholic. He's putting the beer down. He's putting the. Tony, man, the evolution of Tony time. It's a beautiful thing to see. I need the fucking dad squad on a season. I need the fucking dad squad. I want you, Dorel, and Tony, all on a team, dude.

That'd be great. That'd be an unbelievable team. Who are the other fathers you want to be on a team with? Hunter, is Hunter a father? Hunter, Kyle. Oh, Conner Kyle, CT. Brad. Brad?

That's a fucking, that's a dog squad, dude. You got me drooling, dude. Sick. It is sick, dude. Yeah. or you're thinking of something Darius? Nope.

Okay. Okay. So you got her at three or four. Sounds good. We got... I just, you know, we were pretty much... I mean, probably, I don't know. Like, listen, like,

probably more than that, too. Like, it was hard. There was just... I was trying to keep my circle strong. Yeah. Carr is part of it. And Kyle's waiting there with a piece of cake.

That was hilarious. He's just sitting there. like waiting for his cake like we're that thing gonna get cut um i just thought it was interesting that car was part of it because we know that they don't always get along um and yeah but when you're in a house together you can kind of put things aside you know uh the next daily challenge is called this land is my land this is the official bruce nichols challenge take things and move them oh yeah oh yeah uh they're uh yeah basically stack pallets from one side to the other.

Did Devin, who had to make the teams here, did he set you up to lose or did he set you up to win and keep him safe? So this is what happened. 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.
