Chapter 1: What is the Zach Bryan drama about?
As always, Played It is brought to you by Triple, the original high seltzer. Redefining the party landscape. Have you ever browsed in incognito mode? It's probably not as incognito as you think. Google recently settled a $5 billion lawsuit after being accused of secretly tracking users in incognito mode. Google's defense? Incognito mode does not mean invisible.
In fact, all of your online activity is still 100% visible to a ton of third parties, unless you use ExpressVPN.
Right now, you can take advantage of ExpressVPN's Black Friday slash Cyber Monday offer to get the absolute best VPN deal you'll find all year. Use my special link, expressvpn.com slash playdate to get four extra months with the 12-month plan or six extra months with the 24-month plan, totally free.
If like me, you heard the beginning of that and thought, I gotta make some calls, ExpressVPN is the spot for you.
I've been thinking about this ever since the whole Zach Bryan thing started. Everyone else is capitalizing off of beefing with him except for us. We were the first people he beefed with and no one believed us that he was crazy until now.
Well, I think that if we had like put out like a diss, like done all this, everyone would be like, whoa, what the hell? Like, I don't think we quite had the pull that... Dave Portnoy does. That being said, I did get a text from a friend of mine that was like, you guys should get these. They're like selling like shirts now with like the diss track and stuff. Yeah.
Funny if we were just fully bought in.
I've been saying it for like a year now. I know. And you didn't believe me.
I also didn't want to believe it. Cause like until we, until our beef, I loved him.

Chapter 2: Could Rusty land a plane in an emergency?
I know. I had a feeling. And I know it's easy in hindsight to be like... Yeah, you did snipe it. But I have... I think even... Probably not publicly, but I've been saying it for a year. I think that guy's a nut job.
Yeah. You were vindicated, dude.
I think he just has... I actually feel bad. I think he just has, like, bipolar disorder or something. Like, I don't know if it's... Yeah, he's got something.
Chapter 3: What preparations is Willy making for Thanksgiving dinner?
Entirely his... That story about, like, the campfire... Yeah. Like freaked out. Did you hear this? What's that story? So Brianna, I listened to, by the way, I listened to the entire BFF. I still want to. With like, like grinning ear to ear the whole time.
Me and Billy were talking about this. We were like, I wonder how many people in this room right now have watched it secretly. Well, cause we both had watched it secretly.
I might, I might have been part... Okay, I don't want to say I'm part of this, but a big part of the stories that she's telling, one of the big things that keeps coming up that they talk about in the pod and they clip and stuff is how he was supposed to be at Fenway and come out for Noah Khan or whatever.
And I think this story originally was like people were saying he got too drunk and was at the venue and got kicked out. I think he just bailed the day before. Right. But Brie on the pod was like, Something about like, oh, he was too drunk. She was like, I don't know. He wasn't responding to my texts, blah, blah, blah. He was probably too fucked up and then canceled on Noah.
The night before the Fenway show that he very now publicly famously bailed on, that was the night that he commented all that shit on my Instagram. Oh. And blocked us. The night he blocked our podcast. Ha, ha, ha. Was the night that he canceled on Noah Khan to like play at this big show that is now like your video sent him into a tail.
So it's like it's impossible to rule out that me singing a song about puberty that he thought was about him. Send him on a large scale tailspin that ended his relationship and caused this drama.
There's going to be like a documentary about his like downfall. Yeah. And it's like, it all started there. He's like this fucking kid wrote a song about puberty and there were too many comments saying it sounded like me. I had a meltdown.
So ridiculous. For anyone new to this too, I just posted a song that I had wrote as a joke about, it was like, I'm scared to go in the locker room because I'm scared they'll see my body. Tonight. I'm scared they'll all point and stare and say, that's a weird shaped body. Tonight. And that was it. And it didn't say anything about Zach Bryan, but all the comments were like average Zach Bryan song.
Yeah. And I guess I came across this For You page. Send him in a spiral. He blocked us. He blocked Playdate. He blocked Friday. But Beers, I just found out today, the entire Sketch team is blocked by Zach Bryan. Nice.

Chapter 4: What is the story behind Harry Houdini?
Glad we brought everyone down with us.
Yeah, so our whole company is now blocked by Zach Bryan because of this video I put out.
I saw a kid at Barstool today who was mad that he's one of the only Barstool employees who's not blocked by him. Oh, really? Yeah, it's like a badge of honor at this point to be blocked by him. And so he put out a video. It was Tommy. Tommy Smokes. Okay, yeah. Put out a video trying to get Zach Bryan to block him. That's awesome. It would probably work. Yeah, what a weird idea. I was taught, yeah.
But you still want to come on, Zach? Yeah, we would love to have you on the show. Do you want to tell all?
Tell your side of the story? Nah. At one point... No, we're out. At one point, we were the only podcast we followed. I mean, we wouldn't support it. Yeah, we were... For, I think, like a month. Only podcast we followed. We were the only podcast... Only podcast... Only podcast Zach Brown followed. He doesn't sound like a very fun hang. I'll tell you that much.
Especially not... Oh, yeah, we didn't even tell. So... Lauren, you're asking. So the story tells at the end. It's like an hour and a half into this pod. Which, by the record, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was like her birthday party at her cabin in New Hampshire that he had bought for her. And her whole family and friends were there. Sorry to interrupt.
How many houses did he buy her? Because she told multiple stories about different houses that she was living in that he bought her.
He's that rich.
He sells out football stadiums. He has hundreds of millions of dollars.

Chapter 5: What high school drama stories do they share?
yeah he's one they offered her 12 million dollars to never i did see that that's crazy so sorry i continue no anyway she just basically said that i like how so far this podcast is just us breaking down another podcast but no she said that like it was like her birthday and she was doing a thing at this cabin in new hampshire that he just bought her and then he kept he kept being like all right like i'll he had like four days off in between shows and he was like fine i'll come i'll come to your fucking birthday and she kept being like you don't have to come if like i don't want this to be like a big deal like i don't want you to be mad at me for coming like it's fine and you're on tour
And then he's like, no, I'm going to fucking come to your birthday or whatever. So he shows up and they're all at a fire. It's like all her family, friends and Zach. And then I guess he started like kind of saying some weird shit to her friends. And she was like, this is weird. And it wasn't even midnight yet. It wasn't even her birthday. She's like, I'm going to bed.
Zach, like, just come with me to bed. Let's just go to bed. And then I guess he was like, I'll come in in a sec. And then she woke up like a few hours later and went downstairs. All of her friends are sobbing in the basement. And her aunt, I think, is physically restraining him in the yard.
insane and they stayed together that wasn't even why they broke up wait what what happened i don't i guess he started yelling they think it was about our good friend grace yeah love grace uh they think it was about grace he apparently was like yelling across the fire like you'll fucking never make it like you'll you're never gonna be anybody whatever like unprompted he seems like a fucking bad way sad
And for the record, if it was about Grace, Grace is killing it.
Yeah. I mean, yeah.
A much more likable character than old Zachy.
I know. Yeah. I was like, that's a losing battle. Like you're in the, in the court of public opinion, you're not going to win.
Wow.

Chapter 6: How do they come up with cool horse names?
Wait, do you mean you don't know if you want to present yourself as a mustache guy? You think you gotta decide that now?
I mean, I don't think I really have to. It's just something about doing these shows makes it feel like... I don't know. I'm like, I don't know. I guess maybe obviously more people are going to see this than the show, but something about this feels more because I'm not looking at anyone right now. I don't know.
It's kind of the same thing as like, if you get invited to something fancy. Yeah. You like shave and you get a haircut that like you wouldn't normally have. And it's like, oh, now I'm not even like me. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, I think just maybe keep it. I know. But also, do you like touch yours? How do you mean? Yeah, I touch it sometimes. I feel like I do this too. You do that a lot.
You twist. Me? Well, you used to at least. I used to. My problem was I would bite it. I want to bite yours sometimes. Yeah.
have you seen these girls that have boyfriends with beards who everyone's gonna get like beard burn on their face and it literally looks like someone rubbed a it looks like they took their face and put it on like a sand grinder a sand blaster pull up girls with beard burn girls with beard just put wait can you do girls with beard first I wanna see something yeah you see this isn't that horrible that's from like hooking up from like making out with a guy who has like a rough beard
Okay, that's disgusting.
There were girls... I remember a girl showed up to one of my classes with one time, but it was like a girl that... I guess I just hadn't pictured hooking up with guys before. And it was like, oh, I'm not. Like, Macy's getting it a little bit.
How to stop... Is beard burn ruining your makeup?
Well, that's why when I... I mean, obviously, you know, I have that problem a lot with chicks. Yeah. Intense facial hair. So I always just... As long as you stick your lips and tongue out far enough, they don't touch any part of where your beard would be. Or is. Sorry.

Chapter 7: What are the best dating app openers?

No, I don't have a scale.
I don't think it's good for my mental health. I do. I do just because I'm trying to make my way back down to my cruising weight. So I keep an eye on it. But I'll send Phil. Oh, Phil and I have a fun one where do you ever take like a poop so crazy that you have to like take all your clothes off in like a hurry?
no I feel like you've asked me this before do you ever do that Lauren I've probably had one in my life or like you like like you can't have anything on like it's like that bad well like well like well like I'll like hang up my clothes on like different parts of like the bathrooms like hang my like socks and boxers like on the shower head and then like a shirt on the doorknob and like my pants are like hung up on the towel rack and then you like pan up and you pan to the room and I send that to Phil like as if like I was running into the bathroom like about to poop so hard that I'd like throw my clothes everywhere and like
Chapter 8: Which New York Times games should exist?
Like a Converse sneaker that I wasn't wearing.
It's like on the faucet. That's just like a fun thing we do. I like it.
I love it.
Socks are like glued to the ceiling. Billy and I, Billy and I were doing a, I was helping him come up with this sketch. And it was like, it was basically like your roommate or your coworker freaky Friday with Harry Houdini. Oh yeah. And he's like, um, He's like, hey, what are you doing for lunch? Nothing, I just brought something from. Cool, cool.
Any chance you want to chain my ankles behind my head and plant an apple tree on top of me? But we couldn't figure out a way to do this, but the visual of him gluing his palms to the soles of his feet would be funny. Is that something he did? He was just always putting himself in the craziest position and sentencing himself to death and then surviving it.
yeah did you ever hear about the the time you went visited the russian royal family i think you've told this on this pod okay well he no but do it again so he he's doing a show for the russian royal family and he calls calls down their best marksman shoot the bell no to shoot me in that oh i've told that one that one's crazy too but he goes he asked the marksman to shoot at his head
and the marksman does it and when the smoke clears the bullets between his teeth and how he did it was when they're loading the bullet down there was a magnet on the end of the rod and so they watch him load it but then when he pulled the rod back out he had to trust that that magnet was going to hold on to the bullet got it and so when he fired it was there was nothing in the magnet the bullet was in his that's pretty good crazy um
How are you guys? What else is going on? Dude, I'm good. I'm kind of feeling a little sniffly today. Yeah, what's up with that? Just like traveling, going to Texas. I feel like all these weekends always just... How was Texas? I got a case of the college tour flu. That's what I like to call it. Were you guys at Bloody Nose Kids at all?
No, thank God.
