170 - TSA Searched Zach's Silicone Yabbos Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

We’re back from the road with a fresh batch of tour tales! We were staying on the same floor as the Chicago Bulls and got the chance to train like an athlete when a fire alarm caused us to haul these big ole thighs up 13 flights of stairs! From there we get into the important stuff: the very questionable legality of NYC bodega cats, the man who broke into a Little Caesars to make and sell pizzas (kinda a hero... very Sammich coded). We address the special kind of torture that is "trying to buy concert tickets online," Canadian cafe haters on Yelp, and so much more!!

168 - A Fan Snuck Backstage & More Tour Confessions Feb 11, 2026

Show notes

This week we’re sharing the wild travel diaries from Zachariah’s Big Back Behavior Tour. From Phoenix, Arizona to Los Angeles, El Cajon, and Seattle. We kick things off in Phoenix with an unexpected obsession: Circle K?! Ummm ever heard of her?? Don't worry, Jonathan took the world's worst pictures on his new digital camera. In LA, we stayed in Beverly Hills, drove by the Playboy Mansion, and hit the road from LA to El Cajon!! Then things took a serious turn in Seattle when a fan broke into our green room. PLEASE DO NOT EVER DO THAT! Heightened security measures are now in action. As if that wasn’t enough, we got slammed by a winter storm, lost heat at home, and survived a San Diego to Boston flight that made an emergency landing in Philadelphia. Woof. It's a lot and we're getting into it all.
