Welcome back. We're here. We're back. Back in the digs. We are back in Detroit. And you know what? Honestly, I'm on cloud nine. I'm gloating today. Everyone can suck my ass. Everyone who said a single bad thing about the third place finisher and the second male to finish the mini final. C.T. Round of applause. Do we have a boo button? No, I don't know. Damn it. Damn it. There's not a crowd in here.

But boo. Oh, you young bucks who were talking shit about him, girls and guys, Yermy, he dusted your ass. Leo, he dusted your ass. Cedric, he dusted your ass. Everyone but Sidney and Turbo. And guess what? Dare I say that if Sidney didn't give Turbo the word purgatory, he'd still be in Chile trying to figure that out. Or the code 21-222.

Exactly. I mean, bro, like, so. So Turbo, you ran hard, you ate well. I'm going to give you that. But if you didn't get help with the other stuff, C.T. finishes first. And not only would he, he gave Will, the answer and still beat him. Guess what? It's like a diesel engine.

It might not get fired up as fast. But it got the job done. And to be honest to you, I said it. I said, I will take him as a final partner any day of the week. He was the last one to the first checkpoint. The guy still has it, baby. Less than a week after everyone tries to ridicule him, after everyone tries to say that he's the worst partner,

beats every single new threat. Every single new threat you lost to CT. Except for Sydney. Oh, right. Mail. Right. Every male's new threat, you lost to CT after talking stupid. And guess what?

The funniest part about it was all these young guys, we're going to put them in the retirement home. Okay, well, then explain this. Turbo, CT, Theo are in three of the top four. Theo, obviously, his lungs are trash. He still beats you guys. So what does that say about this young blood? So can I play devil's advocate for just like one second?

You can, but you look like an idiot. Okay, just, just curious. Because the facts aren't there. So the only thing I'll say, the only thing I'll say that if they didn't eat all the food. I promise you. I'm just saying. Right. Okay.

If, okay, I don't, I can. We don't know. I can tell you this. CT ate all the food. Yeah. Turbo ate all the food. Well, I don't know that for a fact, but if I had to put money on it, Turbo ate all the food.

Okay. I would be shocked if they ran the tape and Turbo was throwing food into the woods. Okay. Or the weeds or whatever it was. I would be shocked. So it's a factor. But I don't think CT cheated that at all.

Did you see the way he was eating that stuff? CT's an eater. It was like putting it through a juicer. Right. He was throwing those vegetables through his mouth. Like there was, it being, it was disintegrating once it hit his lips, much like Hungry Howies does when it hits yours. Gone. Done.

Like a magic trick. Gone. It disintegrates. Wolfie's, yes. How many hobbies is great, by the way. That's fantastic. Stuffed crust with sausage, parmesan crust. Okay.

So let's start from the, real quick. We got to first of all say, can we give a round of applause for everyone that came out to the San Diego show? If you want, we had a hell of a weekend. We didn't just play golf. No, we didn't. What's what we wanted to do? We did do that. We wanted to just only play golf.

But we did something a little bit different. So typically we filmed the live show. We put it out for you guys that missed it if you want to go purchase it and watch it. We love that. We love spreading the good times that we have. Not everyone can make it to San Diego. Right. Also, this time we decided to throw a twist into it.

And we filmed individual podcast debts, I guess you could say. Yeah, podcast debts. Yeah, like little baby podcast. Baby podcast. Each and every guest that we had. So that's four of them so that you guys really got immersed into the full San Diego experience. The only thing that you're not going to see is the shower scenes between Pierre and Michael. Those got a little bit too hot.

It's a child, it's a kid's show. But yeah. Some of our fans would be into that. Oh, I'm sure a lot of people would be into that. A lot of people under the, you know, there's a lot of different weird. I'm sexy. I'm sexy. It makes sense.

And chubby. You think I'm chubby? Well, would you? I mean, I'm not going to call you what you call yourself. Oh, see, now I call myself. What do you call yourself all the time? Sexy. And?

Plump. O, B, C, T. Okay. The bottom line is this. If you want to check it out. We lived in a house. The full San Diego experience is online. Correct.

And we got another juicy teaser for you guys. We do? I thought we did. No, reveal. The reveal is. is we're going to broaden our horizons. Broaden. And since we love golfing so much.

Oh, I like this announcement. In next May, so less than a year, we are going to host the first of many, Zach Nichols podcast, ZMP golf outings. What does that mean? What does it mean? That means if you want, you can pay to be in a group with a challenger.

We're not going to release which challengers are going to be there. but also you can get a group of three or just sign up as an individual to just be your own team to go against the teams of challengers. Now, with this thing, you are going to get a hotel room for two nights.

Yeah, we're going to figure out the logistics, but hotel. Hotel, probably for two nights, three meals, and a banquet afterwards, and we will have some celebrity appearances by other challengers at specific holes holding many competitions.

If you're interested in that, contact us, however you want to, and we can reserve you a spot. We'll talk about that more, but if you are listening to this right now and you're like, I want in, I need that, get a hold of the big guy, and we will reserve you a spot, whether you want to be on your own team, you want to bring your own team, or you want to say, hey, I want to golf with fill in the blank. It's going to be available.

We're going to do it. And then it's going to be scramble. If you don't know what that is, Google it. it means you don't have to be good. Correct. Unless you're on his team, then you're going to have to be good. I'm going to be bringing it on that day. Probably not.

I'm going to bring it to them. Probably not. Okay. He will probably smoke as many cigarettes and cigars as he will. I want all the best women golfers. That's my advantage that I get. Everyone hits from the men's teas. No, no, no, no.

Listen, we're figuring out the logistics. Here's the things we do know. Late May, golf, Michigan. That's guaranteed. So it's happening, and it's happening here. We also, there's going to be hotels involved, and there's going to be at least two. Two meals.

Yes, there's going to be meals. So we're going to figure it all out. Put it in the, say it in the comments if you're interested, and then we'll start it like a little list and we'll reach out. But super excited about that. So just to recap, we lived in the house with Neree, Arrasio, Ocara, and Pauly, in that experience, we all did an individual pod. That will be available in the same area that you see the,

in the shop, in the Patreon shop, in the same area that you see the live show. And then we're going to bundle it. We'll do a little bundle for a little discount. So we'll figure that all out. Yeah, so you're definitely, and you can also, if you just want to see the live show, that's cool you can get that. If you want to see just the podcast, it's also cool.

You can grab those. But if you want them all together, the whole experience. The whole kitten caboodle. That's going to be available. That's going to be available at a discounted rate. So go ahead and check that out. Super excited about that. And then let us know if you're interested in the golf.

Now, let's talk about this episode. Obviously, we come back from that monster. Oh, well, actually, I did want to ask you. Was anything surprising in terms of the way that you saw, like, Arrasio and Nauris, like how did they start of their day? and anything like that? Or did you expect what we saw? Oh, yeah, everything we saw, I expected.

So Carr and Polly played a lot of chess. Caracio ran a lot of hills. Norees wore a lot of makeup. She was hitting the gym every day. No, they all worked out. I mean, listen, the morning, the mornings were like. I thought that whole workout thing was fake. They're running, bro.

Bro, I lead the charge. I was the first one to work out every day. Was he actually? Yeah. Michael, don't lie. Did you see him working out? What were you doing? I wasn't running 20 miles with Horacio.

What are you doing, dude? Day one, I did like a two. Was he actually working out? I did a two mile run. And I did some calishtetics, lunges, some abs with the rocks that your parents have by the serenity fountain. And then the second day, I was a little sore from the workout in the golf. So I swam laps for an hour. I was there for that.

I didn't even, I didn't realize. I didn't realize you do a workout. All right. Leaving the charge. Your head is hitting the pillow. everyone else is getting working. I had late nights. Very late nights.

Oh, God. Anyways, so, all right, we can get to the episode. So, we come back from the CT and DC elimination. Afterwards, CT and Yermi, they have a little conversation where C.T. basically asked, yo, like, is this squashed? And Yermie's like, nah, bro, you're still a public. Which makes it so much better that C.T. whooped his ass in the mini final baby.

Woo! You know what's crazy? 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.
