Welcome back to the Zach Nichols podcast. We're here slumming it in the Bacall family vacation shack. I'm here with a very sweaty fetichini. We're on location. Give you a round of applause. I deserve one. Even though he had no, he had nothing to do with buying this place at all. He's smoking in the house.

I'm not. I'm telling his father that. It's not true, dude. Vaping. Big difference. Which is probably worse for your lungs. You're going to get popcorn lung. Um,

But anyways, he's also a swagger jacker today. How? I swagger jacked? How did I swagger? How did I jack? You're jacking my swag. With what? You're wearing my shades.

That is true. Those are my father's day gifts. Consider you're a swagger jacked. Or consider me a very good friend. I actually also come to ever... No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't...

I didn't get me my fucking sunglasses. I'm not fucking giving them back. Give him back. No. I'm a good friend. Come take a motherfucker. Dude, you don't. Bro, I'm going to throw you through the wall.

Do you want a hippopotamus size whole? and your family shack? No. You're a good friend. Not only am I very sweaty, but we've been extremely threaty on this podcast, as promised, for back-to-back new threats.

What do you think of the new threats, man? Oh, I like them a lot. I'm not going to say I love them yet. I like them. Sydney was hysterical. She's funny. That was a fun podcast interview to do. Obviously, Leo, that one was hilarious.

Um, Gabe, he was just, that's just a good guy. Good guy. Just, Justin was awesome too. Pierre has a crush on Justin's mom. I hope she's subscribing because Pierre has the hots. She's hot, dude. Bro, enough. She's sexy.

And no, don't, don't, don't do that. The next people that get that microphone get your contact hot. No smoking room, get everybody high. Um, no, uh, first of all right. That's exactly what's in there. This is pure, pure vapor. Smells like a dispo in your. Pure vapor.

Okay. So, any who. It's like we're an angster. So who is your favorite new threat that we've had here, either on or off the camera? Dude, my favorite new threat's just Ben. Ben for days. I like, listen, Ben, you're like the greatest thing to happen to the challenge since Mark Long,

slice bread. We, I need more Ben. Like, I have a fever. And the only cure is more Ben. Ben, get to Detroit so I can talk this shit. to your face. Who's the more iconic challenger? Is it Ben?

Ben or Theo Vaughan? Ben. Ben or Johnny bananas? Oh, dude. Close, close call, but Ben? No, Miles of Ben. Just miles and miles of Ben. You know what I love about Ben is he just has like the fighter mentality, the fighter

body. He crushes Sadoicos. Like he's, dude, bring me, like the fact that Ben's not going to. be on the reunion is should be devastating to the fandom. That was interesting. Surprising that they said they didn't need him, kind of like this podcast. Ben, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I want you to come on.

No, Ben's going to cry about that. Or he's just going to put us in a couple more posts. No, to be completely like, let's just be real. Like, can I, can I give Ben a call? Can I invite him? I invited him publicly. Okay. Ben, whenever you want.

Okay. Yeah, dude, I would love to. We'll get that out here. Yeah, for sure. So, all right. Now, the new threat, I mean, really, we really got really, really threaty over the past four weeks. So who do you think out of the four that we had is the most suited to do multiple seasons, maybe become a mainstay on the challenge? Sydney is the most suited.

She just doesn't want to. But after that, I would, I mean, I hate to say this to Justin, but I think, I mean, Leo, man. Like, Leo's going in. It's got to be Leo. He's given, you know, he's given speeches. He's rallying the troops. He's, he's an influencer. He is an influencer.

He backs it up when he competes. As he would say, he's light skin, pimping. The only thing I want to see. Yeah, like, let's see you close a deal, man. Let's see some action. Yeah, he hasn't put anything on tape yet. There's been rumors, the rumors about him in America, but that's just rumors. I haven't seen any on tape.

Oh, I forgot about it. I honestly forgot, to be honestly, I thought, I forgot she was even still there. You forgot she existed? I actually like her interviews and stuff. She just. You like her interviews? I think she's funny. I think she's got, I think like she brings a personality,

that we really haven't seen in a long time. Because a lot of people that come on the challenge now are like Micha and Siddly and Leka. And it's like they're not like they've done it all. They're competitive. Like not a single challenger bone in her body. And those people are fun to watch. And you know what's crazy is like I said the same thing about Devin,

but Devin's a two-time finalist. So listen, I'm wrong a lot. Some people come to collect a check. But others, it's funny to watch them collect the check. So I'm not the biggest. I'd rather see Leka than America. Leka. By the way, did you know Lecca's from Windsor?

No, I just knew she went to Buffalo College. Yeah, so she's Maple Jordan. She made a post, Maple Jordan, that's cool. She made a post about doing a live show in Windsor, and I'm like, wait, what's your affiliation with Windsor? And she's like, bro, I'm from there. I'm like, we're literally neighbors. I didn't know there was actually people that were from Windsor.

I just thought strippers and bartenders moved there. I had no idea there was actual residents of Windsor because everyone from Detroit, like, just goes there for the strip clubs. I personally have never been to a strip club in Windsor. What? Yeah. I've never, I mean, there's this place called Cheetahs. I've never been there.

That's where my dad went to his bachelor party. Really? Cheetahs. And that's where he took my uncles for their bachelor powers. I probably shouldn't even be admitting that because my dad is a wholesome dude. But I think like back in the day, that's what bachelor party meant. Yeah. I feel like back in the day, bachelor party meant you're going to get on a bus, order pizzas,

fill a couple coolers with beer, and you're going to go to Windsor, you're going to go to Cheetos. And then you're going to go to the bar and then everyone's going to go home. Now bachelor parties are like starting to resemble more of bachelor's parties. It's like, let's do a dude's weekend. Yeah, let's, uh. Luckily, I've never been to a vineyard on a bachelor party, but I've seen some of that. And like, we're talking shit, but a golf bachelor party is dope.

Golf bachelor party is no, there's no better bachelor party than a golf bachelor party. But I think the original idea, and I wouldn't know this because I've never seen a woman naked, but I think the idea was see a woman naked for the last time before you get married. Yeah. And let's just say, Jenna was not having that. No, well, why would you? So we went to a couple church services on my bachelor's party. We did.

We went to the beach and church. Oh, man. That sounds like a blast. It was wholesome. And I didn't have any disgusting. I didn't have to feel I had to shower with paint thinner when I got home. Going on a tangent, I know, but, you know, there's a lot of things to talk about. That's what happens when you're in San Diego.

Yeah, at the shack. Zach in San Diego, guys. This is the first Zach in San Diego podcast. Is that true? Yes. Well, there's a live one. But Zach and San Diego go together like, meatballs and

Oreos French fries and bubblegum Marinere and cereal there you go there you go some lucky charms Alfredo you got it dude all right

what bro I will fucking scrap well I know I'm a little bit I'm just gonna warn everyone I'm a little bit extra annoying today because I haven't it is now what can I say the date

yeah it's Thursday and I got my last night sleep in a bed on Tuesday night me and I got to give Michael a Shout out. We pulled it. Well, we, we, uh, we almost didn't make it to San Diego. We were on our flight and Michael tried to wake me up to tell me that we couldn't get into San Diego's runway because San Diego, having an international airport only has one runway. Loows my mind to this day. Now, 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.
