Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of when reality hits. It's Brittany Carr right here. And this week we have my bestie boo boo, Zach Wickham. I was going to say, you better not say any other name. Fellow cast member of the valley. Full time cast member, obviously. Yes.time cast member obviously yes yes thanks for coming on thanks for having me we just want to just have a fun time and let you guys laugh at all of our craziness yeah because we're actually very very
Starting point is 00:00:36 funny together we're the best for the funny really are on the way here today because we were in we hope for a little special upcoming project that I'm so excited about. Can't talk about it yet. Sorry, but we were in WeHo. So we were coming over the canyon and. And Brittany was getting to experience what I have to experience every time I come and visit them in stop and go traffic.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Yeah. Up a canyon, by the way, up a big hill. Just literally when you think of the path to Narnia, think of we hoe to the valley or vice versa. That's literally what it is. The path to Narnia. So basically, you're gonna go through a bunch of coats and then magically you appear. Yeah, I'm sure there's bunches of closets around in those mansions going up the hill and down. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Well, anywho, somebody bumped into us. Yeah, while I was dead stopped there were for at least a few minutes. It wasn't like it was new and we had not moved for a hot minute and then all of a sudden we get hit and My favorite thing is Brittany goes. Oh my god. They just hit you and I was like, uh-huh. Sure. I was like, it's fine Just completely acting like there was no big deal. I was like they just hit you like we bumped forward and everything It was not a big deal. It wasn't a big wreck or anything like that But still I was like, are we not gonna pull over? We're not gonna on the side of the road? Are we allowed to talk about this? Are you going to get in trouble for a hit and run? Like what's happening? Literally. Like where was it?
Starting point is 00:02:12 There was no running. Like I was literally sitting there, waved at the guy. I was like, yeah, I know you hit me. It's fine. Like just my, and my car's not bad by any means, you know, and it doesn't have dents all over it. But my bumper, you know, there have been people that have hit me in traffic before. And it's like, if I'm going to pull over every time someone hits me, I'm never going to get anywhere in that way. That's the most LA thing to say. You know what? We didn't even, whatever we got out of the car, we didn't even look at it.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Oh shit, we didn't. I should. You know what? We didn't even look at it when we got out of the car. That is crazy. I will look at it when I leave and send you a picture and you can you can update something at the very end of the podcast being like, oh shit, there's no bumper.
Starting point is 00:02:54 No, but like if it was me, I would have pulled over and been like nervous or complete nervous wreck. Like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Even though you were the one that got hit. But did you even look at the guy was a guy behind us, a girl behind us? No, I literally didn't even. I just waved. It's okay. You know, the backhand wave. I just went, uh, hi. Okay. Just acknowledging you don't have to get out of your car. Please stay in. And let me make this clear because this is not a hit and run situation. Don't need people coming after Zach. We were on the canyon. So they followed behind
Starting point is 00:03:23 us for like another 15 minutes, at least. If they wanted me to pull over because they hit me, they would have. Yeah, exactly. Just go going up the Canyon slowly. You know, you're like stop and go, stop and go the entire way. You know, people think that like I'm a crazy driver, but honestly in LA, you have to be defensive and offensive with your driving skills, otherwise you will get nowhere. Well, I freaking hate driving in LA, you have to be defensive and offensive with your driving skills. Otherwise you will get nowhere. Well, I fricking hate driving in LA.
Starting point is 00:03:48 That's been very clear. I'm, I'm well aware. I don't think you've ever driven me anywhere. I drive you like if we're together, I'm driving you or you're wearing, or I hate it. And I barely ever drive. I had my first fender bender. We're your first fender bender ever. Oh, in LA. Well, I've been here for 10 years.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Well, I was like, I've seen your old car. I was like, I don't think that's true. I've had fender benders before, but never in LA. So I had my very first one last week and I was so nervous. It was on the 405 stop and go traffic. That's like a six lanes. You know, it's like, oh, my God, you had it. Oh my God. So we pulled over. It was my fault. Like it was so slow and I barely tapped him, but where I had a Jeep and he had like, I forget what kind of car he had,
Starting point is 00:04:34 but it was like a sedan. It was like a sedan type car. So he, it like my, my little bumper, like where Jeeps had these little like lights that come out in front of him. It felt like a perfect little hole right there. So it didn't do nothing to my car. And I was like, Oh my God. And I was shaking because I was just like so terrified. You're on the side of this really scary highway. And at first he was like a little upset. He was like, Oh man, he hit me. And then like, he noted he like, once I got out and I was just like, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Here's my information. Here's everything you need.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Like that was completely my fault, which it was my fault. Like it just happened so fast. You know, I'm so many people this happens, but got a million things going on. And it just like, I barely felt like I tapped him, but still, but it was so scary. I mean, I was shaking and he noticed how nervous I was. And I think that's why he was like, it's okay. It's okay. He's like, stop shaking. It's okay. He's they give me like stop shaking
Starting point is 00:05:25 It's okay. I'm not mad. I know it was an accident So that was my like a week ago experience and I have not felt that way in forever So whenever you got tapped today, I was like Like do we need to call the cops like what's going on and I like how you're like, are we supposed to pull over? Are we supposed to like do this? What are we supposed to do? Like, do we need to call the cops? Like, what's going on? And I like how you're like, do you have insurance? I was like, yes, I have insurance.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I was like, why are we on top? Of course, my parents pay for my insurance. Of course I have insurance. No, I'm just kidding. No, that was one stipulation. They were like, we're cutting you off from paying for your car insurance. And I was like, wait, what? You're like, hold on.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I mean, it wasn't until I was like 30 something, but I was very mad when they did that, but no, I do have insurance. No, I know. But still I was like, why are you? And you're like, I've been hit before. Like, it's not going to make any difference back there. I'll pop it out because the thing is I think as a society, we're like so crazy about things being absolutely perfect or you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Whereas like I see it as like my luggage. I like seeing little scratches and whatever because it's like, oh, I've been places, I've done things. Yeah. Now do I want like my bumper to be completely ripped off? Absolutely not. But you know, if it's just a little scratch here, a little bump there, like, am I really going to take the time?
Starting point is 00:06:48 I don't have the time to even do that in LA. Yeah. You know, just got to like roll with it, I guess a little bit. It's got to roll with it. Well, wait, so wait. Mine, well, I was just like, it was too much. There was people everywhere. I was like, oh, we're getting over, we're going.
Starting point is 00:07:02 And it was my complete fault. Well, I wish that I could say this was my first like little tap or whatever, you know, wreck in LA, but- Love tap. Little love tap. But no, this is that this actually I've never actually been in another wreck, except when my car was fully totaled. And I've only had that once and that was in LA where a car just side swiped me as I was
Starting point is 00:07:23 turning and my Honda Accord, they just completely destroyed and destroyed their car too. It was insane. Yeah. Oh yeah. But I was fine. Yeah. Car wrecks are scary. So I did get out and gave my insurance that time.
Starting point is 00:07:40 You're like that time I did. But you just waved to the guy and were like, that time I did. But you just waved to the guy and were like, it's okay. I know you hit me. We're fine. Don't worry about it. I feel like some of those things in LA are so like such LA things because until you live here, you don't understand.
Starting point is 00:08:00 You just can't, we have no time to do anything. Everything takes so much effort and hours to do. So like, if you're gonna hit my butt, you know what? It's fine. Like, now if I hit them and they kept going, okay, cool, like I did, cool. But if they had gotten out, I would have been like, okay, whatever.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Of course, of course, yeah. Just wanna state that in case anyone wants to like, try to be like, oh, he always hits and runs. No, that's not what we're saying here. Not at all. We were completely stopped. But yeah, I just love that you were like, it's okay. Yeah, you were dying.
Starting point is 00:08:35 You were no, you were, you were not like, Oh my God, that's so bad. You were like, wait, what? I'm confused. Wait, shouldn't you pull over? You were having a mental breakdown. You had PTSD from your now I know confused. Wait, since you pull over, you were having a mental breakdown. You had PTSD from your red. Now I know why. Now I see. Just from a week before, but that was my fault. This one wasn't your fault. And now we're going to go outside and look and be like, Oh gosh. Oh, I know. And now like
Starting point is 00:08:56 watch my bumper completely have like a crack down the middle of it. Why didn't we check? But it was a PT cruiser. Like if it was a Jeep, I would have been like, oh shit. Like just like when you get hit by a Jeep, a Hummer, any of those like, like a big SUV, bulky or like strong car. But like, no, PT Cruiser, that's like getting hit by a Kia. Like it's going to hurt them more than you. Yeah. Which is exactly what happened. So but still it's like, what's our luck?
Starting point is 00:09:24 I know, right? It like what's our luck I know right it's what is our luck let's take a second to talk about J Lo yes the Jennifer Lopez she's the epitome of a boss babe and yes she does not age jealous much don't be now you can get the J Lo glow forow for yourself with the J.Lo Beauty Deluxe Kit.

Starting point is 00:11:15 All right, we're gonna go into some questions that were sent in, because I think it'll be hilarious and so good to go back into some fun times. Unfortunately, we can't talk about too much that's going on right now, but. Yeah, I mean, I think it's good though. I'm glad that we don't do that though.
Starting point is 00:11:35 You know what I mean? Because I do want people to actually get to see it through the lens of the show, versus us giving a thousand details them already knowing that who's gonna to want to watch after that. You know what I mean? It kind of like we like to keep you guys guessing and give you a little mystery and, you know, give you a reason to watch us.
Starting point is 00:11:54 You think you know, but you have no idea. Welcome to the Valley, bitches. Oh, my gosh. OK, first question is from T Schwall. Oh dear Lord. What did Tom ask? AKA Tom Schwartz. He just said, what would Zach be doing if he never moved to LA?
Starting point is 00:12:13 Hybrid with Louis. Oh my God. What would you be doing if you never moved to LA? Question from Thomas. Um, let's see. Well, what was I doing before? I was working. So Louisville is a great city, which is where I'm from.
Starting point is 00:12:28 And, but the problem is there's not a lot of creative jobs and they don't like pay that well. So like me being in social media and communications and PR, the like roof of what you can achieve is not like, there's not that many big jobs there. But I was working at a really great company called Humana full time as a communication analyst and working my way up. So I guess I'd be, oh, I don't even want to, it hurts. It actually, I just got, I just got like nervous and like my stomach started hurting to think that like I could be going back
Starting point is 00:13:05 there. Oh, but I mean it was it was a great job, but I guess I'd just be working my way up the corporate ladder. Oh God, I could never. I'm not a corporate ladder type person. No, no, I don't think that would have lasted forever. You would have been something would have changed no matter what. Oh, and the guy I was dating at the time was into muddin' or off-roading, whatever you want to, whatever it's, uh, whatever, whoever wants to call it. We call it muddin'. And I, I probably would have stayed with him because we were, I was bored and we were together and like, there was nothing else there.
Starting point is 00:13:41 So I guess I'd be muddin' and working my way up the corporate ladder and probably not as happy as I am But I love Louisville Louisville's great Oh, of course We're Kentucky through and through through and through through and through was so funny or like I would have a boyfriend that takes me But and then I would be yeah, we used to cook We used to cook our lunches Like when we would do this on his radiator. We put our lunches on, strap them on, do the, you know, the whatever, and then
Starting point is 00:14:12 pull our lunch off of the radiator. And if you know me, which I guess, you know, listeners here, you're going to learn a little tidbit. That is not what I do. Zach is not Kentucky like I'm Kentucky. Well, let's make that clear. Let's also make this clear. I I can crawdad. I can create. I go to the creek. I can fish better than anybody. Like I did my time.
Starting point is 00:14:36 So I know how to do this shit. I just don't want to. He's done with it. I'm done. I did it. And I'm good. I'm moving on. Next chapter. Now he's a L. I'm done. I did it and I'm, I'm good. I'm moving on next chapter. Now he's an LA boy. Yeah. We have boy through and through city boy.
Starting point is 00:14:52 So yeah, but still I love it. Well, wait, I'm going to turn that question back on you though. What would you be doing if you hadn't moved? I mean, what would you be doing if you hadn't, you know, met Jax to like pull you out here because Yeah. You could have ended up in Vegas with our friend Kara. Who knows? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:15:14 I could have went back to school, worked with kids like I always wanted, but I was also like having fun and living, you know, I was bartending and I was, you know, I was working at Tin Roof, which was so fun and hooters. And yeah, making so much money lifestyle, but I was also so much younger. So eventually you're always going to grow out of that stuff. So I would have either went back to school or I would have gotten to like real estate or something. I feel like I could see.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Well, I could totally see that. I love how like interior design party planning. I maybe I'll be a party planner. I think you would have gone to like, you would have done, you're like, I'm good. But then you would have gotten hired by realtors to do interior design or they'd gone back to school for that. Yeah. I think that's your calling. Interior design and like party planning.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah, that's your thing. You love that. I still love that. I could still do that one day. Like I could still go into that someday. Yeah, that's your thing. You love that. I still love that. I could still do that one day. Like I could still go into that someday. Yeah, absolutely. Like it's so great and it's so fun. I enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:16:12 It makes me happy. But you are very good at it. You're so good at the small details and what like, when you're putting together an entire party or something to that person's personality. Like you just get everything down to the smallest detail, which is, I think, the most important. Thank you. Yeah. I really love doing all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:33 So maybe something like that. But like either way, our lives turned out how I never would have imagined. I'm pretty sure I imagined that I was, I did, that I was going to be, um, where I am. No, I'm just kidding. Not at all. Not at all. Did I imagine being in LA like this on a show called the Valley with my best friends? I know it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Like we're very lucky in many, many ways. Yeah. Um, but still just so many crazy things that get us here. Like if I want to met Jackson Vegas, I live in LA. If you wouldn't have thought to book a last minute ticket to go visit your best friend, Kara, our friend Kara, and then go, by the way, the gold spike or golden spike or whatever it's called, that ain't even... It's in old Vegas. That's in old Vegas. That ain't even like one of the clubs you would have gone to at that time.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Yeah. Yeah. Like that was just like random that you ended up at that club and you didn't know who they were. It was Kara that knew who Katie was and wanted to talk to Katie. Like the things that had to fall into place. And then, and still the people that still act like that, it's a liar that I check. Like I'm like, you guys are crazy. Oh, absolutely. I'm just like, God.
Starting point is 00:17:46 And now they're saying that I followed you. That like, I was like, ooh, let me grab, guys, like for real, I was already moving to either New York or LA. Brittany made it a little bit easier, but I literally was already moving before she even moved. So. And once he came here and like to visit,
Starting point is 00:18:04 I think you visited New York and LA. Yeah, at York and LA. He visited me and stayed with me. He helped take care of me. This was the time that I had my boobs done guys. So if you watch further pump rules, this was that timeframe that long ago, like Zach was there while I was healing. He just wasn't filmed on the show. Yeah. Cause were you filming at that time or you would, oh, okay. You were still filming. Yeah. But I was staying home and they were like filming like beach days and different things. Like remember, he wasn't even there already. Like he already had to go film a scene that was like brand new out of surgery couldn't even
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah, exactly. So you came over and like took care of me. It's so crazy to think about like, and also in my time hop that I don't know, do you have the app time hop? Oh my god, I used to have it. I am like, it started popping up too many like weird things for my past. Like I used to love time hop. And then whenever I broke up with my ex and got with Jack, it started like showing old photos of him.
Starting point is 00:18:57 So then I was like, okay, I delete it. Then I get it again. And then now you're breaking up again. And I'm like, you're like, no, I actually went through and I figured out there's this way. Cause you know, whenever on your phone, if you have an iPhone, it shows like people and you can go through and like, you can click on the face. Cause it has like these certain faces
Starting point is 00:19:14 that if they're in a lot of your photos and you can make it to where they don't bring up those photos anymore. Yeah, I did know that. That is actually a good thing to say to people because I think a lot of people don't know that. Okay. If you don't know that. Okay, if you don't know that, you can definitely do that on your iPhone.
Starting point is 00:19:27 If you go through a breakup, I don't want to delete every single photo of Jax out of my phone. I want Cruz to be able to look at things. Well, number one, that's also impossible. No, it's impossible. It's 10 years of my life. That actually happened. I never wanted to erase what happened.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I always want Cruz to be able to look at photos and whatever. I'm always going to have that stuff. But whenever I'm mad and angry, I don't want my freaking iPhone to be like, Hey, look at this montage. Memories in love from three years ago. And it's like you iPhone me and Jack's just like, and it's like, do do do like really like sweet music in the background is all these photos of us like kissing or like smiling or like smiling or like
Starting point is 00:20:05 open mouth laughing. Like, no. So I was like, how do I do that? And I forget who told me, but somebody was like, girl, you can go in there and actually like, like not remove his photos, but remove that particular face from face from your people that are on your photo. So it won't show it to you. Yeah. So suggesting, suggesting photos. It'll photo so it won't show it to you. And it'll stop suggesting it. It'll stop suggesting photos, it'll stop saying, it won't be like this day three years ago and be a photo of like Jack's neck in my bathroom or something.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Right, exactly. It's like, you don't want that, nobody wants that. It'll be just like, whatever. Yeah, no, that is actually, that's the one thing about TimeHop that I, I don't know if they have that feature, I don't think they do though. But every once in a while I'm like, Oh God. And like, I'll have to like scroll real fast through it. Cause I'm like, Oh, but anytime stuff like with us pops up from like our beginning of our journey here, I just think of like
Starting point is 00:20:57 how crazy the past eight and a half and then for you nine years have been. Yeah. And the fact that we're still like we're thriving and like, it's just, it's a blessing and it's, but it's just also so surreal and so crazy. Yeah, it is. It just is.

Zach's been on the podcast before, but I still had a lot of people writing in about how Zach and I met. So do you want to tell it this time? I think I told it last time.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Wait, did you tell it last time? Yeah, we talked about, well, I met you through. Yeah. Mm hmm. So, I'm dead. Guys, it's shit. We don't, we don't need anybody doing research or looking at people's names or whatever, cause that's not what we're here for.
Starting point is 00:23:23 But, um, yeah, I yeah, I'll do it this time then. So, Brittany and this other person were best friends in college, and that person happened to be from Louisville and was home for the weekend or whatever. And I met him at a club, we started dating, and then he introduced me to his best friend, Brittany, which I thought the after the first time we met, he said that Brittany said you hold on to him. He's the only one that like, he's a good person and he can actually handle you like blah, blah, blah. Yeah. But now I'm like, whoa, why'd we ever be together?
Starting point is 00:24:05 But yeah, but then Brittany and well, we broke up obviously. And then all three like we all stayed friends. Like we didn't have a bad breakup or anything. But then me and Brittany, yeah, just always stayed friends. And that's how we first met. And I guess I was right out of college. I think I just graduated. Yeah, and him and I think I just graduated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:25 And him and I cheered together at EKU. So we like had known each other through cheerleading and stuff. And then you guys started dating and then I met you. Yeah. And it's like, thank God for that. Like, you know, some people bring other people into your lives and they weren't the person you thought that maybe that person was going to stay in, but then they introduce you to somebody and you're like, oh, that's why they were here.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yeah. Like everybody that's why I put up with all their bullshit because I was going to meet this person, which is so much better. It's crazy. Like that's what we were talking about earlier. Even with like the Vegas stuff, like everything happens for a reason. You meet certain people in your life, like for a reason. I truly believe that. Oh, 1000%. Like, yeah. And it's crazy. This one cracks me out. This is from Laura O70. Is he your new boyfriend? I just had to put that on there because... Okay. So also, can we go to the fact that I posted...
Starting point is 00:25:19 That's what I was... That's why I had to put it on there. So guys, I posted a photo of me and Brittany from Hawaii. Now, I just assumed that because we've now done one season of the Valley and then, you know, like I'm on your all social media before the Valley. You're always on. I'm always on your all social media. Like, I don't think anyone's questioning that I'm anyone's. I've been around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:42 So like, I don't understand when people are like, Oh, is that your new guy? Just number one, just look at me, please. Like just do a little scroll. And also it was my post, not yours. So if they just scrolled one, they would see me and my boyfriend. So I'm like, guy, just one scroll. That's all I'm asking or do some research or just read the other comments that say, Oh my God, you know, like you and your best friend look great instead of, Oh my God, who's, like you and your best friend look great instead of Oh my God, who's this? Why'd you move on so fast? And then like, I'm not gonna lie though, they're whoever it is, I didn't look at the screen names, but they got in a fight
Starting point is 00:26:14 on that picture. And they have basically got the engagement up on it so much because the comment, I think they're at like 300 comments back and forth on one comment. They're fighting with each other. Yes, back and forth. About your, you being my boyfriend. Yes, except now they're like, cause one of them's like, that was stupid. Why didn't you look?
Starting point is 00:26:34 And then she's like, well, I can say whatever I want. And then it just like transpired into this. I'm, I'm actually eating popcorn, reading this like it's a fucking soap opera. Like I'm like, thank you for my entertainment today and pushing my photo out there way more than it would. Please to anybody out there, feel free to fight with people on my comments because that only helps.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Oh my God, that is hilarious. See, I'm so the opposite. I'm like, if you're being mean, I want to delete it. Well, they weren't being overly mean. They were like, whatever. So it was like entertaining. If people are like mean, mean, yeah, I'm obviously, yeah, like, no, no, I'm going to delete it gone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:09 If it's entertaining and funny, it's yeah, I'll leave some things too, because people will go back at it and it's just like, it's even better. I agree. And we'll also, I've been doing the same because anything I could think of to say, you know, Oh, I don't want to spoil a question for you But did you I'll just spoil it and if you even got it, but like did anybody ask about my hair? There was definitely some about your hair, of course, but I think it's I think that's gone down a lot It's gone down. Thank God like guys. I fixed it. Okay heard America loud and clear. Okay heard y'all
Starting point is 00:27:43 I've been number one. I've heard it my entire life, but I really heard it magnified. Well, listen, let me put it this way. I'm lazy. Okay. I don't, you know, it takes a lot to like push it up. It's also like, it is thick and whatever. So it doesn't always want to do what like would look good.
Starting point is 00:28:02 So I'm just lazy and I just leave it down and it's easier. Okay America I'm not lazy anymore. Okay we fixed that for season two for you. Okay so just no and also season two no more Lego heads. No more Lego heads. But even though I'm not gonna lie I have very much become very happy with the Lego nickname. I am down for being Lego for the rest of my life. Like I think that's actually cool. You were saying the other day, Zach was like, we have to go to Lego world and take a million different photos of me in different places. I was like, hell yes. We are going and doing that. And then also I will say I'm a little offended that not one fan has sent me a like a Lego
Starting point is 00:28:49 of me. Like not one fan has thought, you know what, I'm going to make a Lego of him. I'm kind of offended. I'm not going to lie. So anybody that wants to do that, please do that. Oh my God. That's hilarious. Or if you work for Lego, Zach would love his own.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Can I please have a sponsorship? Like there is nobody that is called Lego more than me. Not even an actual Lego. Oh gosh. Those people that make all those videos and then it's like all of a sudden a really little Lego instead of a Barbie. It's Opal. Uh, something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And then, and then whenever they do me, I'm always drunk and then I have like two glasses on the two glass. I'm not going to then I have like two glasses on. The two glasses? I'm not gonna lie. I think it's funny. I don't care. The two glasses fucking destroyed my life. It was so good because I know why you did it because you had whatever. You guys let me say something.
Starting point is 00:29:39 I am very, I cannot see. I'm not blind by any means, but I have to wear contacts 24 sevens. She's close. Yeah, I cannot see. I'm not blind by any means, but I have to wear contacts 24 sevens. Yeah, I'm close. Like I'm negative like six in both eyes. If you know anything about eyes, you know, that's bad. Like I can't draw. I can't do anything. Can see Zach is sitting right across from me. If I didn't have my contacts in right now, wouldn't be able to tell who he was. And I was having like a weird eye infection or something during that. So I couldn't wear my contacts. Well, it's called, well, okay, we won't make fun of it. Okay. Just had to say whatever.
Starting point is 00:30:16 But I had to wear my glasses. So whenever you're out on that bright boat and I was like, okay, no, I'm still going to put my sunglasses on over my glasses. Because if I would have just worn my sunglasses, I would have had a headache in two minutes because I can't see. Well, and the other thing is you also have extreme, extreme motion sickness. Yeah, yeah. And so that actually helps like dull your senses. Yeah, so can you imagine me being on a boat
Starting point is 00:30:37 without wearing my glasses or my contacts? I would be sick as a dog. I already was getting sick, but also that probably had something to do with why I was sick that day too Yeah, well because I was on a boat and because I did I Had to wear my glasses. It's different like whenever you have good eyes, so you wouldn't know Contact me switch to glasses. I guess I take them out obviously let my eyes breathe
Starting point is 00:31:00 But it's a different like like it takes your eyes a second to refocus because you're think the lens is like all the way on your eye and then like glasses. Oh, interesting. Yeah. So it like takes a second to like for your eyes and your brain and stuff to like get used to it every single time. So then I get a little like woozy. People were like, Brittany, they make prescription sunglasses.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Duh. Duh. She knows that, but also maybe they weren't as cute as the one she had. And also I wasn't prepared. I didn't expect that. I wasn't going to be able to wear my contacts. Like it was a last minute thing. Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Now I definitely, I still still to this day though, I can't even lie. I still have not gotten prescription sunglasses, but then that's a whole nother thing because then you have to bring your glass. Well, I guess I'm bringing my glasses and my sunglasses. Yeah. I was like, I was like, don't dig that hole. You're digging yourself a hole. Basically I have no excuse. And no excuse.
Starting point is 00:31:55 You're lazy. Like I am. I'm lazy with my hair. You're lazy with your glasses. Okay. Sorry. We're lazy America. I need to get sunglasses made with prescription for sure.
Starting point is 00:32:04 That's going to be my next thing. I need new stuff, new actual glasses anyway. So like a glasses, sunglasses, prescription, eye doctor day is coming up. Well maybe Benji can help you. Oh my God. I think of it like, um, friends, like how Monica meets the sexy. Oh, maybe we just need to make, maybe we just need to start making you eye appointments friends, like how Monica meets the sexy doctor around. Maybe we just need to start making you eye appointments all over the city. But especially
Starting point is 00:32:32 in like Beverly Hills, let's keep it to that, you know, let's keep, you know, or we hope because I want you back over the hill. Oh my gosh. Hilarious.

So since you brought up Benji a couple of times, this is from Stephanie dot Unger. Um, how did he meet his boyfriend? Well, I am so glad you asked Stephanie. It's actually, I think it's hilarious. So it was at the very end of filming a year ago. Yeah. So last season at the very end. And we met on Grindr and we, you know, ba-dum-ba-ddumped. And then I was like, Oh my God, you're really cool. Like we were like, I was like, okay, we're gonna keep it slightly PG for your podcast.
Starting point is 00:34:38 And you know, sometimes you hit it off with people and sometimes you don't. Then sometimes it's like, okay, this was great. Bye. But we were having like, we had good conversation leading up to it. And he was only in town for like one or two more days. And he was staying at a youth hostel. And I was like, hey, why don't you just pack up your stuff and I'll just bring you back to my apartment and you can just stay for the next two days through the weekend. And then, you know, we can just chill. And he was like, yeah, that's cool. I was like, but I just have to do something, which I had to go film, but I didn't want to be like weird and be like, Oh, I have to go film.
Starting point is 00:35:13 So I was just like, I have to go somewhere. So I'll just drop you off, you pack up, and then I'll come grab you. So when I came back after filming, I came and grabbed him. I totally forgot that, um, it was Rachel O'Brien, our friends, last night and she's staying with Kristin. So I was like, hey, I still want to hang out with you, but I can't miss my friends last night in town. So I'm going to need you to pretend that we've been like friends for at least a year and that you know me like really well and you know that we did not just meet on Grindr today. And he was like, okay. Then then we went, had a great night.
Starting point is 00:35:50 He met Kristen and Rachel and Luke and everybody. And it was like so much fun. And then, yeah, then we just ended up starting dating slowly. And then I think it was like seven, it wasn't until like seven months later that I was talking to Kristen that I was like, Oh yeah, no, I'm, I met Benji that night. And she was like, what? I was like, yeah, I basically brought someone from Grindr over to your house day one. And we would have been so pissed about something like that normally.
Starting point is 00:36:18 I know, but, but they got it worked out. It was seven months later. Otherwise I would have taken it into the grave and y'all would have never known. I would have been like down the road like what happened to that Benji guy that you've known for years and I'd be like oh yeah so weird he like moved to Europe or something I don't know but you guys are doing good and still going strong yeah it's it's amazing oh love it. I love it. This is from anique.golf. Sorry if I'm messing up names.
Starting point is 00:36:50 G-A-U-V. Zach, what is your favorite thing about living in LA? Oh, I thought they were going to say, what's your favorite thing about Brittany? And I was going to say that she's best friends with me. No, I'm just kidding. What is my favorite thing about living in LA? That is a tough one because there are a lot of negatives. But like, you know, it's like, it's the daily things that get me, like the traffic, the where can you park. It's hard to like go just to the grocery, excuse me, or gym because it's just so much
Starting point is 00:37:26 effort. There's a lot of effort that it takes to live in LA. But once you get- Like getting to one place could take anywhere from an hour to, you just never know. You just never know. It could be 10 minutes. It could be 45 minutes. Because it is just that unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:37:40 And in that regard, it took me a long time to like get my bearings here. But once I did, I mean, I love LA. There's always something to do. There's always something going on, whether it's the day or the night, there's always like just so many different types of things to do as well. And when you meet the right type of people, because like not everybody's great here. I can admit that. But when you do meet, there are so many good people here
Starting point is 00:38:11 that have come from all over. And like, you just kind of like form your own little family here. And it's just, that almost becomes the best part of LA is like your LA family, which is your family. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I love that. What about you
Starting point is 00:38:25 though? What's your favorite part about living in LA? Oh, I mean, I love the weather. I love like the weather is always just amazing here. Which is weird because I actually hate the weather and everybody is always like, why do you live in LA then? Because I don't like the sun and I prefer it to be like cold or like, I like it to be cold inside, but I like the weather here because it's like, you know, we go through that gloom. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like the gray, especially from Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Yeah. We have a little bit of that, of that here, but it's not so bad as it is like in other places. Obviously we have June gloom, but by like 3pm it burns off or whatever. And then it's like, fine. Yeah. And there's some, like you said, there's just so much different things to do, so many different types of people. I've learned so much about different cultures and different, just different everything living here and I love that and I love for crews to be able to grow up
Starting point is 00:39:16 and like see all these different, you know, communities coming together and stuff that you might not see in other places. I think that's like super important. I definitely agree with that. Yeah. So I love that part of LA and yeah, just like the people you can meet, the opportunities that you have, like there's just things that I never imagined that I would ever do that I got to do living here. Well, and that's the thing. That's the, when I was talking about, you know, what would I be doing if I still lived, you know, if I never moved out here? There's no, like the opportunity, I wouldn't have like, you know, if I never moved out here? There's no, like the opportunity,
Starting point is 00:39:46 I wouldn't have like, you know, I've been to Russia randomly. You know, I've been around the world. I've done things and worked on projects that I never would have had the opportunity to do with my proximity not being in LA. Yeah. So there's a lot of like really cool things here.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Yeah. But there's obviously, you know, ups and downs, no matter where you live. I still love Kentucky so much. I always will. Yeah. But then, you know, we also get bored. Yeah. Love it here too though. This is from Cassandra Clippert. I love you both so much. What's the hardest thing, Zach, about being a new celebrity and juggling a regular life? A new celebrity. Oh my god. Okay, let's use that term loosely. But you are new to this world still. Oh, no, I'm very new.
Starting point is 00:40:36 You're one season in, but still, like, there's a lot changing for you right now. And things are constantly changing for me too, but I know what it's like to be... The new one. Yeah. So how do you feel? How are you dealing with it all? Yeah. Like it's, it's kind of surreal because like I've always been around all of you
Starting point is 00:40:55 since like moving here. So I'm, and then, you know, my past jobs, I've been around celebrities where I'm just like kind of in that circle or sphere. So I'm around it, but I'm always right, like, you know, technically right outside it. Nobody's asking for my picture. Nobody's that, you know, whatever. I'm always the person grabbing the photo. Be like, oh, I'll take that for you. And then kind of, you know, just being the other, like the helpful friends in those moments or whatever. And it's crazy because even at like the bar a few times, I'll be like, oh, I'll take it.
Starting point is 00:41:27 And they'll be like, no, we want you in the photo. What are you talking about? I'm like, oh, sorry. Like it's, it's just kind of surreal. Yeah. It's, but it's really, I will say that it is very humbling and amazing that people responded the way they have to me and makes me feel very like good about myself and very validated that I knew I was funny and now America does too.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Your one-liners are great! If anybody thinks that producers or anybody came up with that shit besides me, you're crazy. That's how I talk and Brittany will tell you. Yeah, I mean you've already been saying some funny things since you've been on the podcast. So, okay. This is a good question. This is from Carla Gator post.
Starting point is 00:42:14 I feel like I'm always messing up people's names. I'm so sorry. How is Brittany Kentucky different from Brittany in LA? Okay. You know what's so crazy is I was about to say I was out about to add a caveat to the previous question Where it's like about you know, my newly being famous or whatever celebrity And I was gonna say I don't think that I'm ever gonna be any different Than I was before then I am now then I was
Starting point is 00:42:44 Season two or anything. I don't think I'm changing. Yeah, I don't think I have changed or anything and That is so funny that she's asking. Well, what's the difference? The only difference is maybe you'll like go to the grocery store with sweats on and you know what I mean? Or like actually go to the grocery store instead of because we don't have Postmates for groceries out there. So that's the only difference. Otherwise you're the same here as you are there. And as you always have in Kentucky, I'll actually go to the grocery store. I mean, that's kind of, yeah. Like that's, you know, you, you'll definitely be a lot more lazy here because it's easier to be or like, you know, you, you'll definitely be a lot more lazy here because it's easier to be. Or like, you know, there's just like, you know, those type of things. But like,
Starting point is 00:43:30 other than, but like if they're at, cause I think you can't even get a pizza delivered to the farm in Kentucky. It's too far out. Well, thank God I'm not in your cut. Everybody is always like, how are they friends from Kentucky? They don't have the same accent. And it's like, she's from much further down in Kentucky. Yeah. We met been in college years. Yeah. All kinds of people. And Louisville is like a big city and yeah, has more of my accent, which is more neutral than it is. Yeah. From the cut from the holler from the holler. But yeah, like that's the thing about you is you've never changed. You're always like you, the only changes I've seen are the positive ones where you've gotten stronger in yourself.
Starting point is 00:44:12 But other than that, like you are the same person, which is why I think we thrive so well together as best friends because we're never, nothing's ever going to change us and who we are. We're not going gonna be fake. Uh-uh. Kentucky, let's go. Oh my gosh. Is this where we do the go big blue cheer?

Like you guys can admit it. Come on. Okay. My favorite trait of Zack. I just love, okay, Zack has many, many great qualities and great traits, but I think that one of the things that I love the most about you is that you are always like so yourself. Like you're normally the loudest person in the room. And I think that that's like great because you don't care to be who you are.
Starting point is 00:46:25 You don't care to dance on the tables. You don't care to like just let yourself shine and be that person. Like you're always going to show your true emotions. And while that could be challenging at times, I think it's amazing that you always are willing to let yourself out there and be who you are no matter what. I think that's amazing. Zach It's also because I don't, I don't think I could like could change. People constantly try to be like, shh, shh. And I'm like, I don't, I can't hear you. Like, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Ashley If I go to a movie with Zach, like if it's like, Zach Nobody hates going to the movies with me. Ashley We had to like have a conversation before we walk in. Okay, like you can't grab my arm the whole time. You can't like freak out about everything before it happens. Like, listen, we just get a bunch of food instead so that we're just stuffing our face the whole time. Scary movie too, Brenda in the theater where she's like, no, not there.
Starting point is 00:47:20 And she like throws up her butt. That is me. That is 1000% me. I'm grabbing your arm the entire time That is 1000% me. I'm grabbing your arm the entire time. Anytime anything's funny, I'm like, I hit you because that's just my reaction is to include you in what I do. Yeah. Yeah. Which is so annoying. And sometimes I can handle it or like control it and sometimes
Starting point is 00:47:41 I can't. Gosh. But I was meaning that in also a very positive way, obviously, because I just love you and you're so much fun. You're always fun and positive. And that means a lot. And funny. And funny. And the most caring person you will ever meet. Also, it's crazy. People have been posting recently, they're like, I didn't realize Zach was so tall. And I'm like, did you think, I mean, have I not stood next to Jesse? He's like barely to my nip. And Jack's for all these years.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Well Jack's wears lifts so sometimes he's, you know, a little tall. Listen, I helped clean out his closet. I know where those, it's like Donald Trump throwing the shoes to get the, and the lifts file out. Remember that time I did Watch What Happens Live and I was like a newbie. I was Watch What Happens Live. I forget who I was with. I was either with Stassi or Ariana. It was one of the times that I wasn't with with Jax. In the beginning, I was always with Jax and I got to do Watch What Happens Live. This was like one of your first. Yeah, it was like one of my very new ones. And Andy asked me, he said, can you please tell us a one secret that people
Starting point is 00:48:50 don't know about, about Jack Taylor? And the first thing that came to my mind, I said, I said, he wears lifts in his tennis shoes to make him taller. And everybody just busted out, dying laughing and cracking up. And then once it quieted down for a second, I go, it's so just Tom Sandevall. Oh, my God. No, you didn't. I didn't know that actually. They were both so mad at me.
Starting point is 00:49:16 This was years ago, but Jack still does wear them. So yeah, I know. I thought it's like I was not lying. Still, I don't know about Tom. That's so funny. But the fact that like, they were both so mad at me for calling them out for wearing lifts in their shoes. I never, I don't know how I didn't see that episode or didn't know about that. It was like early on.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Fucking hysterical. Yeah. I am dead. I love how Andy asked you and you're like, okay sure so he blah blah blah He wears lifts. Um, yeah, that's not his hair. He You're like not for notes. It's Watch I was live is a live show like you have to have an answer. They're moving on You know, like you have to come up with things quick and that was the first thing that I could think of but it was so Funny, that's honestly the best thing ever and the fact that you just brought him up with things quick. And that was the first thing that I could think of, but it was so funny.
Starting point is 00:50:05 That's honestly the best thing ever. And the fact that you just brought him up again and said that whenever you throw the shoes, they go flying. They just come, oh, what's that in the, oh. There's been times, and I hate even laughing about this, but it's just funny. There's been times where Cruz has gotten ahold of one
Starting point is 00:50:21 and he could only find one when he was getting ready. And he's like, where's my other flip? I'm dead. And I'm like, daddy can't find his high heels. Oh my god. That reminds me of when I was a kid and I used to, I didn't know what a diaphragm was. And I put my mom's diaphragm on my head, like a little crown. And my mom was like, where the fuck did you get that? And she didn't, I mean, obviously she didn't say anything about it at the time. She told me like 19 years later.
Starting point is 00:50:52 And I was like, I was like, wait, what, what, what happened? You wore your mom's diaphragm on your head like a little crown. Yeah, like it was, you know, like, or a diva, I don't know, whatever the thing was. I know what you're talking about, but still. still I was I was literally like probably two or three. I don't know my bathroom and was just was wearing it around. And my mom was like, what the fuck are you wearing on your head?
Starting point is 00:51:16 That is so good. Oh, my God. Absolutely hilarious. OK, we're going to do one more question. Oh, wait, I need to say my trade about you. Oh, yeah. Oh, well, that do one more question. Oh wait, I need you to say my trait about you. Oh, yeah That's like um well, my favorite trait about you is just that like You are who you know, i'm just kidding um, it's just that like you're

See, this is why we can't do a live podcast. Okay, keep it in. Oh God. Okay. So, but yeah, no, I do too. That I just had to, sorry, I had to troll. But yeah, no, I just love you so much because you're just like, you care so much and you're just, you're just always,
Starting point is 00:52:32 it's just so much fun to be with you. We always have the best time and it's just like, yeah. I just love it. We're just so similar. I love you. And that's great. That's just great. I know, it's great. They're gonna love me on watch. What happens if those are my.
Starting point is 00:52:48 Okay. Uh, this is from reality ops. Um, if you two can do a filmed Bravo trip with any other Bravo stars, who would you go with and why let's say that you could pick five people and it can't be our cast. Okay. From Bravo. And I'm going to say past or present because I feel like that's fun.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Yeah. Okay. So, so I can't choose you. No, nobody from the valley. So I just have to choose five people. Okay. So no way from Valley or Vanderpump. Cause we're basically all connected.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah. Like obviously I would choose. Well, I would only choose Tom Schwartz. Yeah, but we're not going to choose. Okay. Sorry, Tom. I see what you're saying. Yeah. Like obviously I would choose, well, I would only choose Tom Schwartz. Yeah, but we're not gonna change any. Okay, sorry, Tom, you can't come on my road trip.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Okay, let me think. Oh my God, what are the different, I'm trying to think of all the different shows because I would probably pull like, I'm like, who would be the most entertaining or like dramatic for me? So I would probably, like, I mean, let's be real. If we got like Nini and Kim Zolciak back together.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Those were going to be my first two choices. Literally the first two that were coming out of my mouth. Yes. No, I, Nini is just like, she'd be a riot, but I feel like she would be very difficult. Like I don't for both of them. They would make the trip probably hell. I've met Kim so many times and she is so nice. Like she would be like my top choice to come on a trip. Oh, amazing. She would be fun. I think she'd be real fun though.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Yeah. And she always has a solo cup and that's what I do. I'm always walking from my, cause I live in we host so close to the bars. I just walk down the street with my solo cup because it's legal in West Hollywood after COVID to have open container Harry law or whatever. So it's like, why not? So I definitely choose. Okay. So, and I think the dynamic between them would be really funny too. Yeah. I met Nene too. And she was so nice to me as well. But the thing is, is if we're
Starting point is 00:54:39 filming it's a whole different ball game. And Then people come out and like turn on. You know what's crazy though is like again, I'll go back to, we'll just take a little bit of a detour. I'll go back to you and me. We don't change on camera. No, no, heck no. Like you want to, you know, you want to see anything last season where people were like, why is he that blah, blah, blah?
Starting point is 00:55:03 I'm that way on or off camera yeah like it we ain't changing no for that and there's several people that don't change and then there's also those people that you're like okay cool like whatever you know what I mean so yeah honestly we wouldn't kind of show that that's within the show so you wouldn't know what you're gonna get from them that's true but I would choose Nini, Kim, um God I'm it's because Real Housewives of Atlanta like OG like Candy they like that shit like those are my favorite people so I'm like oh I want Candy too I'm like crap I can't have all these people. And Candy was in freaking um what's the music group she was in? I can't think right now. Is it Escape? Escape.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Escape. I was like, not Invoke, Escape. Yeah. Amazing. And she wrote No Scrubs. That's my favorite song ever. Well, Waterfalls is my favorite song ever. But yeah, like, so let me think of some other shows real quick.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Okay, well we both agree, Nini, Kim, we should just do like a joint list and it could be like, uh, it would be me, you and these people to make like just the craziest. Yeah. So let's say eight total. I think Reza is great TV. Okay. Me, you, and I'm sure gay on gay drama, like you never, you know, until we become best friends, we're mortal enemies.
Starting point is 00:56:23 You know, I'm sure. Um, okay. Now until we become best friends, we're mortal enemies, you know I'm sure. Okay me, you, Reza, Kim, Nini. Okay so we have three more that we need to complete. Let's see, let's go through the show. Southern Charm. What about like Melissa Gorga or like... I mean do I have to choose between Melissa and Teresa?
Starting point is 00:56:42 Because like I don't know which one I would choose. Because I think that that's the reason, isn't that the reason like NJ is like the show's like rebooting or whatever? I don't know enough about the show. I've just met all these people in real life. Oh, well, that's why it's... I'm sorry. But I met Melissa and I...
Starting point is 00:56:57 You're like, well, I like them. Everybody's nice to me. So like, Melissa was super nice as well. Oh, you know, I would actually love Caroline Manzo. I miss her. Like I used to really like her. She was on like season one through five or four of Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yeah, I really liked her back in the day. Um, let's see your I'm literally thinking of people I've met in real life because too
Starting point is 00:57:26 much of a bra like I hate to say this. I've just, this is not all reality TV. You don't watch reality TV. You watch real scripted shows. I like scripted shows or I like true crime stuff like that. So like that's what more so what I want to invite Scott Peterson on the, on the road. Hell no. Um, yeah, like that's my problem is I'm new.
Starting point is 00:57:49 Like I watched real housewives of New Jersey, Atlanta and Beverly Hills in the beginning. Oh, and the OC in the beginning. Oh, I just thought of somebody that would be funny. Fun. Hannah burner. She was on a summer summer house for a little bit. Now she's got like her. She's a comedian.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Oh yeah. And technically if I could bring Steven from, oh my God, yes. Yeah. Even from several houses. I mean, and the twins, the workers, when we're filling up our cup now. Yeah. Now the cup is fine. Now we're getting the show cooking. Yeah. Cause I was trying to make the work is twins. Like they are so fun. Hannah burner's fun. And she was on there. I mean, there's just, I'm just trying to think of it's hard whenever you're only trying to think of Bravo and there's so many great people.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yeah. Well, and also there's so many different shows and I'm probably not even putting the right shows. Andy. Yeah. Oh, um, I was going to say, um, Tabitha takes over from the salon one back in the day. I fucking love that bitch. She was amazing. I wanted her to I wanted to run a business into the ground and have her take it over. Like that's how much I liked her. What is that? Tabitha takes
Starting point is 00:58:58 over. It was like she used to take over salons and then she then it just was like she would take over your business and like fix it for you. Oh, like that bar. Like bar rescue. Yeah, like kind of like bar rescue, but for like anything. Yeah. Um, and, but that was like a precursor on Bravo. Oh yeah. That was back in the day.
Starting point is 00:59:17 Oh my God. I used to love that. Oh, and then Ginny from flipping, flipping out. I was obsessed with Ginny. Is that on Bravo 2? Yeah, but that's it hasn't been on in years. Okay. See, I used to watch it a little bit when I was younger.
Starting point is 00:59:33 I would watch Flipping Out with my mom and Real Housewives of Atlanta and stuff like that. So yeah, I think those are the people I would invite. We just said the most random. The most random. All over the place. Yeah, sorry. I'm sure you did not like that answer. And the answer was 19 minutes long. It was good though, because we were like talking about all this different stuff. Okay. I'm just doing a cup, a cute little best friend quiz at the very end of this. I'm just going
Starting point is 01:00:01 to ask. Oh my God, if I fail this, I'm going to feel I'm going to be so. No, I'm just going to ask a couple random if I fail this I'm gonna feel I'm gonna be so no I'm just gonna ask a couple random questions and you're gonna tell me what you think that my answer would be okay just a couple random ones um okay this is them easy please okay um okay am I always too hot or too cold? Oh, I mean, 1000%. And you know the answer for me. We are always too hot.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Both of us. I think that's one of the things we bond on the most is our love of keeping it at like 60 at all times. Yeah. Wherever we are. 67, please. What's one thing I don't like about myself? Jack Taylor.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Oh god. Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding. I was reaching for low hanging fruit there. That's my bad. One thing you don't like about yourself, I think sometimes you have somebody in your shoes and I would say, you know, I would say there's some things that I don't need to say them on, but like I know that you have some insecurities, but bitch, we, we getting snatched with that.
Starting point is 01:01:10 We snatched with air skull. You getting that shit fixed all up. Um, I think that you think you're too pale. Oh my God. That is absolutely no, that is 1000%. The number one, I would change my, I hate being white so much. And I mean that as like the worst color white there is. Like I am like translucent white, like a sick Victorian child, but I'm fat.
Starting point is 01:01:36 So I happen to be well fed. Like, for real, like I have no melanin in my skin whatsoever. I, that is definitely one I spray tan every like twice a week If I could date any celebrity who would it be oh my god Well, see it's hard trying to think of who you would date but it's also for you It's like I could like I'm thinking like, okay, there's a few but I'm like shit. Who would I choose? It's hard. I don't think who I would choose for you. Yeah I was like... Do you even ever say that? Oh you know who it would be? The
Starting point is 01:02:11 twins from Desperate Housewives. Oh my god how did you pull that out of your... Because I don't know I just thought about it you talked about how hot they were and we were trying to find them I feel like once. Oh my Wow, you pulled that out of the friendship vaults like that shit was buried. Oh my god Yeah, I one of them is gay max or Charlie. I think it's Matt I don't know one of them is gay the Carver twins Yeah, I used to have the largest crush on one And then one of my friends found them on found him on Raya And I was like I got on Raya after like a year and a half and was like swiping just to find him.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Never happened. Oh my goodness. But yeah, for you, I mean, like the problem is it's just like me, our tastes are all over the place. It's more about personality or whatever. But I could see you with like, I don't know, I just want to see you with like a football player so that we can get free tickets. But I don't know none of
Starting point is 01:03:05 their names. So. Oh my gosh. Okay. If I could have one superpower, which one would I choose? So you have to think which one I would choose and I'll think which one I think you would choose. Oh my God. One superpower. Okay. These are like, this is like a best friend's quiz that like, I feel like you have to talk about these answers at one time and then 10 years later, then the questions get answered again. And then you remember that. I'm just going to say what I think is the bet. Like what I think you would choose.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Okay. What do you think? I think you would choose, what is it? Telekinesis? Is that how you can hear? No, that's how you move things with your mind. Yeah. What is it where you can hear?
Starting point is 01:03:41 Well, I think that you would, I think that you would choose to hear people's thoughts because you want to hear people's thoughts because you want to know what's going on 24 seven. I mean, that is 1000%. One. I, the other thing is though, I'd be like, how would I frame them? If I could record it. Cause I'm like, I'm going to need to call this bitch out and
Starting point is 01:04:01 catch them in their lives. And be like, okay, I just heard her say in her thoughts that this person's dating Becky. And then you're going to be like sitting up a trap to get Becky caught. Becky's going to get caught. 1000% though, that is actually a very good one for me. I was actually going to say for you, it would either be like, like super strength or to fly.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Yes. But I was thinking super strength because there's always something that's coming up where I feel like that would come in most handy, but then I feel like you don't like Ubering or like, you know what I mean? So driving. So it's just like, let's fly there. So I think that's yeah, those, those would be the answers. Oh my God.
Starting point is 01:04:46 I love it. Okay. One more question and then we'll go. If I could master one skill, what would it be? This one's so broad. I don't know. Woodworking. No, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 01:04:59 If I could master one skill, what would it be? I'm going to say it's dating. Oh my god, you guys should see the way Monroe, Brittany's dog just like popped up and was like, what was that noise? Yeah, we're coming at you from the bed right now. Yeah, I think it would be dating. Damn! That's a good one. Yeah. That's a good one. What do you think mine would be? I think yours would be like break dancing because you would definitely be at the Olympics
Starting point is 01:05:32 over that lady. That other lady? Oh my God, I'm dead. It would be some kind of dance. So Zach loves to dance. No matter where we go, he ends up on the table on something. This is something he's not supposed to be doing. This is why nobody thinks that I have a graduate level degree because I'm always on a fucking table.
Starting point is 01:05:52 Oh yeah. If you could master everything with dance, you would be. Well, it's it's I that's exactly what it'd be. It'd be the memorization. The problem is I it takes me forever to learn choreography. And that's why I don't like do or like learn that types of, I just do freestyle dancing, which is equally as entertaining, but interpretive dancing, interpretive dancing. It's very interpretive. I love it. It makes the night so fun. By god, by the way, check out breaking barriers buzz. You shut up
Starting point is 01:06:25 Nobody is supposed to be able to find that And also I don't know whatever account leaked the part. It's only part of the video. So I'm gonna you know what? In college and it was like you are my shining stuff I know all the words she does guys. I, I don't think you understand. She found this video one time. I forget why I even showed it to you or how like you found... I don't remember. It was years ago. My friend who you were dating, the way we met was into music and you were helping him with his music stuff. And somehow we... Yeah. Somehow it came up that I had done a music video with a song called...
Starting point is 01:07:04 Breaking Barriers. Well, the group was called Breaking Barriers. The song's called I Need You. And yeah, it was for a class project, which all you had to do was write lyrics and create a group and explain like the history behind like why you were doing that because it was for communicating hip hop class. And of course, me being the person I am, I took it to the absolute extreme'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher, I'm a music teacher,

You guys listen every single time I had people over every, every single time, like this is pre-cruise and obviously times that Cruz wasn't here, but we would have like after party is at my house or whatever. And anytime there was a group of people, I went to YouTube and I put on Zach Wilkins
Starting point is 01:08:30 breaking barriers for the whole room every single night, every single time. Or sometimes I would get videos of her playing it and obviously I'm not there. So like she's literally playing. I'm like, I've never had a bigger fan. I feel very flattered, but also like stop. It's hilarious though. Yeah, no, I'm gonna have to release it because I think the world needs that. The world deserves it.
Starting point is 01:08:57 The world deserves that. The world's going through some trying times right now. And I think this would help brighten a lot of people's day. It would because it's so freaking funny. Well thank you so much for talking with me tonight. I love you. I love you. I'm so glad we got to do this little Q&A. I know.
