- You know how many people have broken into my house? Like front door, pshh. - No. - Yeah, scary. We were all sleeping. Was in the house for maybe 15, 20 minutes while we were sleeping. - 15, 20 minutes? - Yeah. And I was just like very over excessive with that lifestyle because I like didn't have that college life. So I kind of like went off on like the partying. - You know, a lot of us are like 27, 28, 29. I'm 30. This lifestyle will catch up to us. - What's the look? Are you into blondes, brunettes? - Like medium, medium rare. We're talking about burgers, right?

I started having panic attacks from then until now. I've been trying to figure out like what medication to take, what should I be doing? That's why I started working out. That's why I'm eating better. I'm making these changes to just feel better.

- This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. - I've always felt like marriage was this construct that like, I feel like people were like pressured to do. - Yeah. - Like I think marriage and dating are like the same thing. They're pretty much the same thing, right? - Yeah. - They're like- - I mean, yeah. - When there's a couple that's a boyfriend or girlfriend, to me they're married. - Oh yeah. - Like that's how strong it is to me. I think I'm a very, like in my head, I'm a very loyal person too. - So does it take you a lot before you call someone your girlfriend? - Yes. Oh my, yeah. No, no. Like meeting my family, bringing them back home.

Absolutely. In my head, we are married already. Like, this is who I'm spending the rest of my life with. He called me his girlfriend before he, like, asked me to be his girlfriend. That's how it would be, too. Like, after the first date, like, I can sense. I'm weak when it comes to that. Do you call it a date or do you, like... I'm, like, asking you questions that should be on the podcast.

Oh yeah, we should wait. You see, the way we record is that we literally start the podcast out as we're setting up. You're kidding. That's genius. Yeah. Just if you don't take it seriously, then nobody will ever like pick at it. We just press record. We started there. You know, sometimes people are walking to the camera. It's okay. The own of our podcast. We say, what's up dudes. Don't ask why. I don't even, I don't even really know why, but we, we just say that. So if you want to join us, you can, you can say what's up dudes. What's up dudes. Yeah, here we go.

And in three, two, one. What's up, dudes? And welcome back to the Unplanned Podcast. This is a lot of energy. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here. We are joined today by Zane from One Direction. Just so honored to have you here, honestly. Don't do that, man. I'll sing the whole song. Give us a little bit there. Wow.

I can't believe we get to be graced by zayn dude I was looking at your youtube channel the other day and I was actually like really blown away by how good your singing voice was because the first video that popped up was your rendition of wop yeah and it was so good I mean I cringe at that video now I whenever I do a video like that I'm like it's so fun in the moment and I post it now a month later I'm just like why did I post that that's that's so bad I think that if I started um

practicing to sing when I was younger, I think I'd be really good now. Because I do have... I'm not a good singer, but I know I can follow a note, right? So when I'm in a car full of friends and we're all singing, I tend to be...

I've never discussed with my friends if they watch this, this is embarrassing. They'll be like, what is he talking about? I feel like out of most of my friends, I can get as close to the artist singing as anybody else. When it comes to their note, they're like... Like Mariah Carey. I don't even know the words with your notes and how you sing, but I can get...

you have it there it's in there somewhere I was watching that video and I was dying laughing thank you it was so funny I don't know why you say you'd cringe at that because I thought it was like the production value was there I know and that's what makes me cringe it's like it's too high production I don't like high production songs but you had like Addison Rae and the choir in the back like just singing back there and you're on your knees if you do another one put

put Matt in it. He's a show choir, not show choir, but he's a musical guy. I just released like my first two songs. So hey, if you want to clap. Oh, you sing? I do. Oh my God, that's amazing. I wish I could sing. But you can, but you actually can. There's a lot of work on those like videos of me singing. Really? Yeah, I swear there's like auto tune. There is a lot on there. You don't even notice.

Well, Zane actually, for those of you who don't know Zane, he's not part of One Direction. He got off with Vine and was part of the Vlog Squad, and now he has a podcast with his best friend Heath. We're just stoked to have you, man. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thanks for having us in your living room, by the way. Oh, of course. We're in my house, by the way, guys. Yeah.

right before this i had to do an interview and it took so long and i felt really bad i really want to come to malibu but i i made them come here bro all good thanks for letting her yeah we came here with our two kids we have our baby one of our babies is literally pitched in your spare room yeah there's so much room here we were actually gonna do this episode in my bed which would have been really funny but i think it would have been just more comfortable i at some point i'd have been like are you guys is it okay that you guys are on my bed we go

- Dude, I low key thought it'd be so funny to do like our first ever podcast in a bed. But then once the living room opened up, I didn't want to be weird and be like, actually, let's go film in the bed. - Oh my God, you know what? I should have at least offered it. I would've been like, hey, we have the living room now, but we could do it in my bedroom. So if you want, I should have said that. That was completely my fault.

And I feel so bad that you're saying that right now. No, no, no. Because that would have been really funny. That would have been really funny. But next time. Next time. It's just me. This time we can get Heath, Matt, and Mariah. Maybe we do all four of us on the bed. That's so fun. That'd be fun. That'd be really fun. Unfiltered on the bed. Ooh, okay. Wow. Yeah. I really like that idea. I just came up with the thumbnail for you. That's genius. Dude, you're on a fitness journey right now, right? Yes. You've been like...

- Hungry. - Did you quit drinking for this fitness journey? Did you, like, what all have you done to-- - So I'm very picky with when I drink, right? Before I started, I was the, you know, every weekend type drinker. I would not like drink at like kind of like a, you know, a couple of drinks with the friends. I drink to get drunk. I like to have fun. I feel like a lot of people I hang out with, we all drink

to get drunk because you know, we all get stressed out through the week with work and whatnot. So we'd like to let ourselves go. And I was just like very over excessive with that lifestyle. And it was probably because I like didn't have that college life back at home. I went straight from high school, then got a job and then I moved out here to do this. So I think it was this like, almost like I, when I, when I moved here, I almost went into college. I like, this was like my college years. So I, um,

So I kind of like went off on like the partying. And so I wasn't as bad as I was eight years ago, but I was still like drinking every weekend. And I just, I just don't want to do it anymore. It's just a lot. It's a lot of my body. I don't want to be paying for it when I'm like older. And you know, if I have a wife and kids, I don't want like my, I like, I want to start recovering. I want to start like, I want to start working out, eating better, you

So I could like just wake up better, get better sleep, be healthier, be happier, have a clear head, uh, get my work done. And, um,

And I want to be able to do that for at least a good amount of years before I have like a family life like you guys, you know, cause I don't want to be like, I don't want to have to like have a sharp, uh, like an immediate change in my life. If I, if I have a girlfriend or a wife, wake up all of a sudden party life is over. Yeah. I wanted to like kind of work my way and ease out of it where I'm not like, you know, just like doing a, like a really hard, like one 80 shift from like crazy partying to, okay, now I'm married with a wife and

kids. Exactly. I wanted to, I wanted to get out of that before that, that part of my life started. Dude, I feel, I was listening to you talking about like, you know, some of the challenges you're facing with, uh, the, the fitness journey and like dieting, like, does it suck? I feel like I eat, I honestly eat so unhealthy. Like last night I was listening to a podcast of you talking about being healthy and I'm like downing, like, uh,

- Cookie dough. - Cookie dough, just like eating like half a bag of cookie dough. Like, oh, I probably should do that. - What I'm doing is very strict, right? Like it's like, we're doing this in five, six months. So like I have to focus, but I would say the first month is like the hardest, right? It's so hard to get past that, like those cravings and eating healthier stuff and not being able to eat pizza and pasta and all that. It's like my favorite things to eat and cake. I have a big sugar addiction. I'm very addicted to sugar. So it was hard to get past that.

But by the second month, I was starting to, I mean, my, your ads will just change when you, when you start working out like that and dieting, right? Your ads will start giving you a ton of healthy stuff and dessert, uh, dessert, um, uh, alternatives and replace for everything. And so I started finding all of these like alternatives for like my favorite things to eat. And I.

I've been implementing it in my diet and I don't even want to go back. The alternatives that I'm finding are just as good as ice cream and cake. What's the best alternative that you found? I can show you after. I got some in my pantry. Do you like cake batter? Yes. Just eating it straight from the oven. I found this peanut butter powder where you literally put two scoops of the powder in a cup, you put a little bit of water in it, you mix it, and it tastes just like

cake batter and it's like 45 calories a serving and it's like a lot right like you can eat a whole mug of this and you still won't even hit like 200 calories I bet if you like have the actual stuff like later on like once you're done with this whole journey you'll like make yourself sick now exactly I'll get it's still good though I mean don't get me wrong it still tastes yummy but this makes me not want feel like

I like, I need to, like, I'm just like, I got, I got the good stuff. This is good. And it's healthier. And I like, I'm counting everything now, which I see myself like doing for the rest of my life. I count everything I eat now. Like, like I have a scale. So if I get steak, I weigh it out. I'll put it in the calculator thing, like the app. I've done it before.

I've brought it to restaurants. You're like, I'm going to do that. You're on your calculator at the restaurant and you're like putting in all the numbers. The first like month, month and a half, I was bringing it everywhere I went out to eat because I needed to, right? Like I needed to like just, I needed to build a habit of making sure everything I eat is weighed out first.

And, but now I'm able to like, I, it. Yeah. So it's better to get a feel for it. Exactly. Like I kind of know around what I'm eating. It's not probably exactly the amount of ounces or grams that, that it is, but I always go a little more. I always like, like if I'm eating a five ounce chicken, I'll put in the cocktail, like six or seven, just to like,

just in case. Yeah. So I don't like go over my calorie count for the day. Wow. Okay. What's up with this trend in like everyone getting fit and having this like massive, like change in their body. Cause I keep getting, I would get recommended in my like YouTube feed, like Jason Nash, like you see him like before, like the before picture in the after picture, like Natalie. And then like all these like blog spot people, like

look at where they were and look at them now. It was just like, how did this get started? It helps because our friend Ilya, he started a fitness company called Zilla Fitness. There was always a gym at the house. People were always working out.

And then I think after Ilya did his first transformation with one of his close friends, John, I think once we all saw that video, we all just kind of got this motivation to like, maybe we should hit the gym and try to watch what we eat too. And then I think we all started slowly. I mean, some of us were very committed. Some of us are just like kind of gradually getting into it. But I think, honestly, I think that first video really just kind of like open our eyes to it. We're like, oh, maybe we shouldn't like go out and eat like and drink.

I'll call every weekend. Maybe like, maybe take care of ourselves a little bit. We're getting older and you know, a lot of us are like 27, 28, 29. I'm 30. This lifestyle will catch up to us if we just continue to live like that. So that's why we all got into our health care. I bet it like inspires you. Oh my. And it just feels better too. It feels so good waking up on a Saturday and Sunday morning and you're not hung over and

And you're just like, you know what? Let me get some work done today. Or you know what? Let's get some brunch and then work on Sunday. It's just like, because when you're hungover, that like takes out like two, three days of your week. Like you are just, you feel like cramping.

crap you i'm trying you see how i'm trying to change my words you feel like he's censoring us guys we had a conversation with zane before this we're like oh yeah we don't really like cuss on our podcast and he's like okay i'll really do my best which i i like the challenge i love the challenge of like trying to switch up the way i talk because i like i don't i don't have the best speech because i never i was never good at it in high school and in middle school but um

I like to challenge myself with the different rules on other podcasts. Dude. You were saying you guys were all living together and you had a gym at your house, but then you just didn't want to be fit at that time or now you're finally getting into it? The gym that was at David's house, it's kind of newer. I think it's been there for a year and a half, two years. Okay. Yeah.

I would work out there sometimes, but like definitely not as much. It was not a daily thing for me. I would maybe work out every like three days. Wait, did you guys ever all live together or was that something that you guys all just, you kind of would film content, but then live in your separate houses? We did kind of like, maybe all of us all together lived in like two to three different houses. Like some of us lived here, some of us lived here. And then we started spreading out a little bit where like it started to become like three or two people here, two people here. And that's...

100% because we're getting older. We're just like we don't need to be living with like eight people in one house But like I look right now live with Todd and Danielle. Okay, um, I feel like I'm from Florida, right? So I feel like in Florida if you're like 30 years old living with other 30 years old That's like really weird. But for some reason out here, it's like okay, like we feel like it's okay to live together in a house It's expensive to like to be like living on your own too. So it's nice to like be able to like

save a little bit of money and live with somebody. - That sounds so fun. I was telling Abby a couple years ago, it'd be so much fun to live with a bunch of different couples and just like we could all hang out all the time. 'Cause I miss those days. - Same house or like same? - Same house. Just for a little bit, not forever. - Would you like that?

- So we like love hanging out with people. - We love people. I don't know. I just, dang. - We also went to college together where like we were both like living with people then and while we were still together. - And sometimes it gets lonely. Like when you're at your house by yourself with your kids, like you love your kids so much, but you're like, I kind of want to talk to an adult that speaks English. - Yeah. - You know? - You guys should try to find a cul-de-sac

where you all live not in the same house because that could be a lot with kids yes you live on the same dead end like cul-de-sac I'm trying to convince him to do that and then you get like a gate right nobody it's like it's like your own private little section with you and your friends I told Abby that like the other week I was like how cool would that be to be like wealthy enough to like buy a neighborhood and you just like have all your friends you handpick everybody that

you like to live with you. You have all of your friends move in. That's what those rappers do. Wait, you're kidding. Yeah, I'm pretty sure those rappers will just buy the neighbor's house if they're complaining about the noise. They'll just buy the neighbor's house, buy the neighbor's house, move their friends in. Right.

just buy like the buy the whole I mean they have the money to do that I can't imagine these people have the money to just buy a whole street just that's crazy it's wild but because it's it's rare that like there's two houses for sale like that are neighbors right yeah it's really hard to find me and Heath like for the past few years we've been trying to find houses that are on sale or for either for rent or for sale but like neighbors or right across the street and it's really hard to find them yeah so hard especially because I feel like the market's so hot here like as soon as it's

Up it is gone. You said you're from Florida. Do you fish? Are you a fisher? Since you grew up in Florida? No, that's Heath. That's a conversation for you and Heath. Heath was 100% the fisher. He's the guy that would country music, loved hunting. That was his lifestyle. I just worked at the airport. That was my...

thing in florida nice i um i didn't have much hobbies out there but i also didn't have a lot of like friends to do hobbies with right i had like a few but you know like everybody everybody constantly worked and went to school so like after high school it was like kind of hard to like hang out with people because a lot of people went to college and that's where you usually like you know everyone's together you guys are partying you guys have class but i never went to college so i had to i went to like a community college so i would go to community college go to work and then go home

Okay. It was just like I grew up very quickly. Wow. After high school. What part of Florida was it? Miami or Fort Lauderdale? Oh, like Plantation, Florida. Okay. Nice. Yeah, that's where I sit. Would you ever move back?

No, I would never. I would never go. Because I don't like living in... I never like living in Florida. Really? It's too hot. Oh, yeah. It's... I'm a very... What is it? Cold-bodied? If I like cold? Cold-bodied or warm-bodied? That sounds right. I actually have no idea, to be honest. I like to be... This weather is perfect because you get... It's very hot sometimes and then you can get...

that nice like cold like breeze like chilly you would weather here yeah dude you would hate phoenix oh yeah no it's like 120 it's hot it's hotter than florida bro yeah try being pregnant in that no way absolutely like being pregnant at first i would that would not be fun it's like i feel like my temperature was like 20 above what you had to experience i think it was like 140 for me because you get hot flashes right that's what i had like an

oven does everybody get hot flashes or just pregnant women get hot flashes i think that's like menopause dude oh so it's a it's a female thing like i don't know i feel like i've had a hot flash when you're like walking outside it's 120 and then the wind blows but it's not just like a refreshing breeze it feels like you're you're opening up the oven and just like the hot air blows in your face i get hot flashes when i'm about to have a panic attack i feel like that's when a hot flash like that film of heat yeah yes yeah

Yeah. So I was listening to the first episode of your podcast with Heath. Oh, no. You guys are so – I wish Heath was here, but we'll have to do that another time. But you guys were talking about, yeah, fishing together. And then you mentioned something that I thought was so funny to me because like where I grew up, this just wasn't common. But you guys mentioned like smoking or something. Like did you smoke in high school? I don't know if I –

Smoked in high school. Maybe we did, like smoking cigarettes. I never really did it until I met Heath. Then I started doing it a lot. But yeah, that was definitely a thing in Florida. Like kids would go to the mall. We thought we were cool. We were smoking cigarettes. We'd hide it from the security. Inside the mall. No, not inside the mall. So the mall was an outside mall. Outside mall. It was a very outside. There was inside and outside. But the outside part is where the us scene kids would all meet together, right? All the big five adults.

all big myspace like famous people would all go to sawgrass mall and this was like myspace my remember myspace you were on myspace myspace myspace yeah myspace yeah it was um yeah you heard of myspace right yes i've heard of it you know myspace well i mean like i just wasn't around when myspace was a thing okay so myspace was a big thing in the scene emo community and

There was like... You can leave that, by the way. No, no. You don't have to leave our little branding on there. It was...

You could be like MySpace famous and there was MySpace famous people. I was not one of them. You're kidding. But it was like you would get like you have Drop Dead Jade and she would show up to the mall and she's like, you know, has like that raccoon hair. That's like their username? Drop Dead Jade and they have a little trademark in there sometimes. And you could put like, you know how you put like little emojis next to your name on MySpace? That's hilarious. What are they famous for? Rainbow Kitty. Rainbow Kitty. Hilary Haywire. Hilary Haywire.

I was literally never on MySpace. Oh, my God. That time in my life was interesting. I can't believe my mom had to deal with that. Really? Like, having to drop me off at the mall every Friday and Saturday night just to, like, be around these, like, MySpace, like, seeing kids. Because I looked up to these because I wanted hair like them. I wanted to dress like them. I didn't know where to get those clothes from. Do you have any pictures of this phase of your life? Um...

You should dig them. Call your mom. I could send it to you to put up on here, but I'm not gonna be able to find it right now. Oh, no, I'm not. I could give you guys something. You can put it up here. That's hilarious. Yeah. I was, I was so try hard. It wasn't even funny. The first social media I was like old enough to have was Facebook. And I really wasn't old enough for it. Facebook was right after MySpace. That's when everybody started moving from Facebook to MySpace. Yeah. Or MySpace to Facebook. I was like in like sixth grade when I got a Facebook. Yeah.

Was that before Vine? Was Vine even around when Myspace was like big? No, Myspace was long gone when Vine came around. Yeah. Okay. I think. Yeah. Were you a My... Like, did you have any like followers or whatever? No, no, no, no, no, no. This was everybody else. This was like other people on Myspace. I was just a Myspace user. I just wanted to be seen. I didn't want to be Myspace famous. That was not like a thing in my head. Like, I want to be... I just looked...

Like I love their style. I just want it to be like the kid with the hair like this and the belt and like the, the vans with a, with a shiny belt. Remember the shiny buckle belt, like the studded belts. Okay. Yeah. That type of that was, that's, it was that like era. I used to think the kids like with like really dark hair and just like kind of the Gothic style. I thought that was so cool when I was a kid. Yeah. It's like half goth. Really? Yeah. It's not full goth because full goth is like the, you know, full goth.

Yeah. Halfway. It was like half goth and it was called scene. And I don't even know how to describe it. It's S C E N E. You know, you know this, right? I haven't heard of scene. I'm like, it was like, it's a very, where are you from again? We're from the Midwest. Missouri. I think Missouri had scene people.

I'm sure they did. That Midwest, Midwest states had like those, like seeing people. I think I just knew about it from the internet, honestly. Oh, okay. I've never heard that term, but there was a kid that dyed his hair black in my middle school and I thought he was so cool. And I asked my parents to let me dye my hair black too. And they wouldn't let me. Your hair's pretty much black, actually.

No, no, no. There's a black. Like ink black. You have to dye it black if you want to be seen. Yeah. So the first like social media that you really like latched onto is Vine. Oh, no. Well, MySpace. No, no. No, I would say like I was heavily, I was the one that was putting like the coding to make my page look cool. Remember that? You can do that on MySpace. Oh, you never had a MySpace. I never had it.

Okay. So you could like edit your profile, right? So I would go on the backend and you could like edit your profile to the way you want to make it look like, but it was all through coding. It wasn't like, you know, you don't just go on like edit profile and then you like edit, edit, edit, right? Like we do now. Yeah. You like had to code it.

Almost. It was like you had half coded. And you're in high school coding it? Yeah, but this was just the way to edit it. It wasn't a hack or anything. That's just how you edited these profiles. Interesting. That honestly sounds like the dark ages of social media. Yeah. I'm so glad I got to experience that because younger kids, they just don't understand that we had to... You're like, we had to literally go in and do this by hand. So sick.

Can I be honest with you? Yes. I saw a mean comment the other day and then I got on this huge like train of just like looking at negative comments and just like searching for them where like you honestly, it's like trying to find the negative to see what like the haters are saying, you know?

So was your mom freaking out when you're like, hey mom, I'm going to move to LA to go make like videos on social media for my job? Yeah, she was, I mean, she was very, very scared for me. Like it was that type, it was the type of reaction where it was just like,

"Oh honey, you know you can come back if things get better." She didn't have enough faith in me. She just didn't fully understand what Heath and I were posting on Vine for the past year and a half. Because it got to after posting for free for a year, and I'm saying for free as in we just didn't even know it was money in social media, right? But we started getting paid from brands to promote their stuff on a six second video where we're just like,

wait, is this like a thing where like people do like, like for a job, like, or is this just for fun? And people just still have a real job. And, and it just started to get to the point where we're able to just save so much money. We're like, Oh, we, we can like move out of our parents' house. We can like move to LA and we could do what other Viners are also doing and just like collaborate and, and see where that goes. And that's exactly what we did. And we're

but like Heath and I still like kind of stuck to ourselves when it came to like content creating. We would meet up with people to like hang out and just, but we would rarely like actually collaborate and make content. Like Heath and I like to just do that on our own because we felt comfortable like doing it with ourselves and just like doing it in the house that we felt was like the most fun to do that.

But we just felt like it was important just to meet people out there and just find new friends and just see if we can make a life out there and just really have fun. Totally. We're the same way. We have so many friends that we'll hang out with. And then we're finally like, wait a second, we all do social media. We probably should make a video together at some point. I don't know. It's just like you forget to collaborate because you're just having such a good time hanging out.

Exactly. And that's what it was, right? We, when I met, when we met Scott, Todd and everybody, we were hanging out so much more than actually working that it got to where we were just like, oh, let's just like make content together because like, and I guess the best content comes out of if you, everybody's comfortable with each other or not, like to be funny. And I think that's how it kind of happened, right? When people started watching us, we were all so close already

that it looked like we were just best we've been best friends for life yeah forever totally and what did your siblings think were they all still staying back in florida like okay our siblings didn't really understand okay what we were doing yeah at the time it was just our like parents that were really like kind of worried and you were like 20 i was like 20 yeah

Yeah, I was like 20, 21. I probably just turned 21 before. No way. Yeah. Were you raised in a single parent household by the way? No, no. I have a brother. Okay. So my mom and my dad had me and my brother, they both divorced when I was really young. I was like six years old and they both got remarried maybe like a year or two years later. And then, um, I would go back and forth between households and it was very interesting.

with my parents because they're both completely different religions. My dad is a Muslim and my mom is Catholic, but she's not like strict religious, but my dad is. So having to go back and forth as a kid

because the rules were so different was insane. And to this day, I feel like I have like for like just permanent like issues because I'm going back and forth. No, it's a lot because like, you know, you can't eat this here, but you can eat it. You can't eat it there. And like, there's just so many rules. And as a kid, I feel like those rules were just started becoming like, oh, I have to, I have to say one thing at this house and then lie to somebody on the other house. And like, that was

I was starting to do that when I was young. And it's really weird now because like, I don't lie at all now, but like I lied. I had to lie so much back then just to keep both parents happy. So was one like pretty strict and one was not very strict? Were they both pretty devout in those faiths? They're both pretty strict. My dad was more religious strict. My mom is more like,

strict as in like you can't be out past eight or past nine. - Yeah, yeah. - She's a firefighter and she's still a firefighter now. - That's dope. - So she has like that, you know, she has that like-- - Discipline. - Discipline, yeah. - That's awesome. - That's really, really cool. - Yeah. - When you're-- - Oh, sorry, go ahead. - I was just curious, like when you're a parent, do you think you'll be strict too? Or do you think that because you were raised like that, you're like gonna be like a free for all? - I think there's a perfect balance, right? Like my mom, I would say had, I would say both sides, my mom and dad both had a perfect balance of strict, right?

I thank them every day with how they were strict on me because I felt like out of everybody that I knew in school, I've always felt like my parents were the strictest out of everybody. Like all my other, my friend's parents, they let them like go out, they would party and I would always have to, and that's why I never got like close with any of my, like any like high school people. Cause I never got to really hang out with anybody outside of school, which kind of sucked, but yeah.

I feel like I would have completely lost myself if I like, they let me do whatever I want. And because, you know, especially in high school, there's a lot of like, you know, drugs going on, a lot of drinking, a lot of just, just a lot of that stuff that like now looking back, I'm like, we're still really young. Like that's a really, it's actually scary how young high schoolers are. Yeah. Terrifying. What you're saying about, uh, do you think you'll be a strict parent? I feel like after being raised by my mom and dad, I feel like there is a way I'm going to do it.

And I think I'm going to do it right. Like, I'm pretty confident with how I'm going to like how strict I'll be with my kids. You can't be too strict, right? Like find a balance. Find a balance. Yeah. Like we're still figuring that out for us. We're like, okay, who is going to be the strict one? Who's going to be so much? There's got to be one that's strict, right? I feel like there's always got to be one that's strict.

It could be either of you. Maybe one of you could fake being very strict. Okay, so today our son reached into a toilet to touch the water. He just wanted to play in the water and he just doesn't understand it's a toilet. And I go, no! And then Abby's like, you can't. I'm like, I'm not yelling. I'm just making sure. I don't want him touching poop on his hand. That's kind of nasty, right? Yeah, but a part of me is like, yeah, it scared them a bit, but I feel like now their brain knew that, okay, this was bad to do that.

Yes. Like putting your hand in there. That's true. It's like dogs, right? Yeah. Dogs, when you, it's like when they hear the pot or when they hear the kibble or something, it's like in their head, it's like, it's time to eat. Yes. Yes.

I think it's good since we have boys that you're the stricter one. It's so hard though. Dude, they're freaking hilarious. He'll do something mischievous and he knows that it's wrong and he just looks at me and smiles. He'll wave if he's doing something bad. And I go, no. So that's why I had to do a stern no with the toilet because I'm like, dude, you can't touch poop in the toilet. There was not poop.

In the toilet? But there's probably poop particles in the toilet. You're disgusting. That's gross. You gotta do it like scarily, but like not loud, but like put a little, instill a little fear, right? So like when you're looking at your kid and he's trying to do something bad. Like a spray bottle? No, no, you just do this. Just very lightly with your face. Like just be very scary, but like very quiet, right? So it's almost like. That kind of scared me. Just bring that doll out.

doll out okay can we like i need to take a video of this this thing has been looking at me this whole time freaking me out oh my gosh we should see if griffin's afraid of that honestly so what is that i've seen that from some like horror movies that can be heath for today lionsgate sent me this because i'm doing i did we did a video with um that's terrifying that's so freaky that's actually really scary

Okay, that's the movie. This is why you've stopped drinking so much. Now we literally just have that mannequin like in the middle of the floor. Wow, that's hilarious. Hey, real quick, we are just thanking you in advance because I know the type of person listening to this podcast is an incredibly generous, kind-hearted, thoughtful person that

Likes podcast. We know that's you. We know that you're a good person. We know you are. And you have a good soul. And you're so generous that you would have the decency to just gently smash the like button on this video. Gently smash our contradictory. That's true. Maybe gently tap. Gently tap the like button. Would that be? I don't care how you do it. Just select like.

And we will be very grateful to you. Yeah, but make sure that you actually tap it though. Because like if you only like barely touch. You are a superhero for doing so. And we won't bug you anymore. And we will get back to the episode. But you're awesome. Can we just give it up for hitting the like button on the video? Wow. And that person that just left the podcast app to go to the YouTube video to hit the like button. Can we just give it up for them? What?

you're amazing oh my gosh how did you do this oh my gosh they just left us a review oh my goodness get back to the episode i love you i have to get a certain amount of steps every day like like no how many steps are you shooting for i have to like 12 000 steps a day okay wow i can't be under that like i need to get any way either running hiking walking even slow walking any way to get the 12 000 steps i just need to get every day wow it's sucks you

But I swear it's the secret though that those steps really count. I feel like it burns calories just like without even really thinking about it. Really though? I feel like when I walk, I'm just like, eh, I didn't really do anything. I know. But like as every day, just look at yourself after a month and it's like, oh my God, it's working. It probably makes you just generally less lazy in the day too. Yeah, it really does too. It makes you feel like you're just like, you know, moving your body. Your body's like a machine, you know, you have to like constantly move it. Totally.

- Totally. - I try not to like just lay down for like hours anymore because it like, it really, it tightens me up and like I feel like I like my back hurts.

literally not let you lay down ever you should yeah if you have a kid it's proven to actually make you know i wonder check your health app right how many steps you're getting because you're kids well my thing goes off every day my goal is 10 000 oh that's good that's great i've been doing that that's actually wait does it actually do that because i feel like mine never shows me oh you have to have your phone on you though oh okay so i have the apple watch which tracks now i have 6 500 steps from today that's good that's that's pretty good

My week is 7,000 on average. See, you got to up that. See, you're beating me though. You got up a little bit more. Exactly. Yeah. A video that I thought was really, really fun to watch is you getting surprised with the person of your dreams, Kendall Jenner. I mean, that's the person you've always like looked up to, right? Like you're a big Kendall Jenner fan. No, no, no. I just did another podcast where I was talking about this. It's...

Yeah, it was just a surprise. It was, I don't know what, it was for David, right? I think David was close with her. He's like, oh, we should do this as a surprise. And I mean, it worked, right? It was, it was honestly crazy seeing her, but it was not like my, I wasn't like the, it's not like my biggest idol. Who would be your dream girl? If you got surprised with anybody in the world, who would it be? Huh? Good question. And that person would just be like the best. I feel like it's really hard to say now.

Let me try to think of somebody that I want. Oh, you can't choose someone that's married. Someone that, not someone that's married? Wait, no. Oh, I thought you were going to say you were choosing someone that's married. Oh, like that he would like? I think it could be anybody. It could be a dude. Oh, okay. Like it could be like anybody. Oh, I thought you mean being surprised by. You were saying like dream girl. Oh, I mean, no, I think my question is like if you could be surprised by anybody. Oh, just my answer. Okay, never mind. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Literally anyone.

I'm going to try to think of somebody like from like when I first moved out here because I feel like now I like just. Oh, you've like. I can't. No, no, no. It's not even that. No, no, no. There's a. But like, I think living here for the past eight years now, I just like.

don't really want to meet people anymore. Meet, meet celebrity. No, no, because I feel like a lot of times it's scary. It's like, you don't know like that, that meeting could like completely ruin like your image of them. Yeah. Like don't meet your heroes. Yeah. I try not to like, when I, if I see somebody like that, I like, I'm a big fan of, I,

I just like look at them and then I'll like walk away. I'll never come up to them and say hi. Never. Just in case. You've had a ruin before. So there's been people that you've like gone up and said hi to and they were just a jerk to you. No, that hasn't happened to me. But...

It has happened to other people. Okay. And there are moments when people have come up to me and I probably wasn't in a good mood or I was in a hurry or I was in a rush. And then I'll see something, they say something like, that was the worst experience of meetings I've ever had. And when I saw that, I was just like, oh, okay. There's just like,

It happens. And so now I just, I try to avoid that because I don't want to be let down. Like I let some people down. Dang. I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry. There's days where like you're either in a rush or having a bad day or you just find out something and like immediately somebody comes up and it's like, I'm not good at holding a, when I'm like in a bad mood, I'm really bad at hiding it. Yeah. Me too. Really bad at hiding it. It's a big problem of mine. So, um, we've had, I'm still working on it though.

I feel that like we've had dinners where like we're just not I don't know like like with marriage comes ups and downs and so there's like times where it's just like you're not in the best mood and then someone comes someone like immediately like comes over and it's like oh my gosh I love to watch your videos and we're like what up

Like, how's it going? You have to be so smiling. Which like, I mean, we're, we don't like pretend that we don't like have problems in marriage. Like, yeah, they're like everybody. Everybody does. Every relationship has ups and downs. But no, but like also people just like sometimes need to have their privacy. And so exactly. I try to remember that though. Cause I'm like, okay, this could be this.

this person's like impression of me. Like I want to make sure that every experience is like really good. So I try to remind myself that even when I'm like feeling like crap, you know, I'm just like, oh, this stage sucks. That's good. I should be more like you. I should learn to do that more. I was literally crying at the airport though. You remember that? I was crying because we just left Griffin for the first time and I was like, no, I'm so sad. I was crying. Someone comes up and asks for a picture and there's a picture of me out there somewhere. Tears just like down my face. Just like...

at this person. That's funny. Speaking of marriage though, have you guys ever seen that clip? I say the clip of TikTok because that's where I saw it but there was a clip on TikTok where it was this lady and it was like my favorite thing that someone's ever said about like a marriage. Like,

She said, if anybody tells you a marriage is like 50-50, they're bull. Do you know which one I'm talking about? We sent it to each other. That's my favorite clip of somebody talking about a marriage. When I watched that, I was just like, wow, I can't wait to instill that in my marriage. When I'm married with my wife. I'm having such a hard time saying that because I feel like I'm never going to find any.

No, this is why I was asking about Dream Girl. Because I see this for you, like an edit, a clip of this, and then stitched with like your wedding day. And it's like your girl, so. I don't know what your audience. It's really hard to say. Everybody I'm obsessed with, they're married already. Okay, yeah, that's why I said. That's why I said you can't say something. But can I tell you like my type? Yeah, what is your type? Like perfectly Mila Kunis.

Wait, why is that yours too though? Is my exact... Who is Mila Kunis? Ashton Kutcher's wife. You and my dad always talk about Mila Kunis. No, that's not her. Oh, Salma Hayek. Salma Hayek. Dude, she's beautiful. Yeah, she is. Salma Hayek though reminds me of like my girlfriend's mother. She's like my girlfriend's mother. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know what it is about it. Like she's mature. What? She's mature. She's mature. Sorry about the fly. So we can, we can put it out there. Like what qualities? Yeah. Yeah. Have them come to the podcast comments. Be like, I think I'm a lot like me. Are you going to help me? Yeah. Yeah. Well, okay. We like 90% of people watching this are women. So like our audience is very much. And your age. Mine too. Wait, what is your, what is your demographic? It's mainly dudes. Like it's like 90% female.

- Oh, really? - Yeah. - Really? Okay. I would have never guessed since you're like, it's like Zayn Huss. - I know three boys, I know. - I would have thought it would have been like, "You see what you do." - I think we're just like very, we don't talk about a lot of things that guys are like into on our show. We've talked a lot about like pop stuff and we make a lot of like- - You're chit chatty. - Chit chatty. Yeah, I feel like girls like listening to more chit chatty stuff, like feeling like they're there and like, but guys want to watch football podcasts and-

Guys. Do you watch? I personally don't. I personally don't like to talk about anything guys are into. Do you watch football or watch sports? None of my family members have ever really been into sports. So I think growing up, I just never. So then did you spend time making videos? Like, is that what? I was on the computer a lot. Okay. I loved going on computer. I loved, I would go on Tumblr.

I would watch different videos of, I would watch like a lot of movie scenes. Like I loved watching scenes in movies, like just like different ones that I could find, which is interesting because now looking back, I should have like taken advantage of that or I should have,

followed that path because now I love like making, producing like videos. - Would that kid, you know, that young Zane ever think that one day he would end up in a Drake music video with Justin Bieber? - No, never. Oh my God, never ever. When they asked me to be in that, I thought they were, I thought it was a Drake Bell music video. When they said Drake, I was like, - Get into music. - I was like, oh, there's no way it's Drake, right? It's probably Drake Bell, like another Drake. They're like, no, no, like Drake. I was like,

is because somebody else is not like somebody was something. Am I replacing somebody else? Like what's going on? They're like, no, no, they just, they, they wanted you in the music video. I was like, who else is in the music video? And they say the other guys, I'm like, why would they,

Why would they want me? It just didn't make sense to me. It didn't make sense. But I didn't question it. I just hopped on a plane and then I went in and did it. That's so sick. Yeah. And I was in the video quite a bit. You know those opportunities, they ask you to do something and it's complete opposite of what you expected. I thought it was going to be an extra. I was going to be an extra in the back.

And I was thinking that the whole time flying back. I'm like, I just left my mom to do this thing.

music video i'm probably going to be an extra this is gonna be such a waste of time but like i i have to do it since i was asked and like this opportunity probably won't happen again totally yeah when we do like all those music videos we're usually just like the extras in the back in the back and i've done it before i've been asked to do a lot of extras i'm not i'm an extra in the uh so i wasn't like i wouldn't have been surprised if we've never been in a music video were you starstruck like do you or have you like met enough people where you're kind of like

You see them just as peers. I was starstruck maybe after meeting the first three celebrities or after seeing them first three celebrities and then it just became like... Because they're just so... They're just like us. Yeah. They are just like the rest of us. Nothing important. They're just in front of the camera a lot. They're just in front of the camera a lot and that's it. And they all poop. Yeah. I'm only starstruck with anybody from the cast of Game of Thrones. I see them in person. Really?

I'm just frozen. Yeah. Who did you meet? I've met Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones. Wow. I've met... Wait, who does she play? I'm sorry. She had Arya Stark. Oh, okay. That's dope. You've never watched Game of Thrones. I don't know the actress' names. I just know their faces. He's not like a superman. You don't know Arya Stark? So you're not a big fan of Game of Thrones? No, I know Arya Stark, but I didn't know Maisie's actress' name. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, okay. He's like a...

I was going to walk off the set. Yeah. I met her and I also met, I met, oh, I forget her name.

She played the younger... Remember the girl with the gray skill on her face? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I met her too. I can't think of her name. We actually went to where they filmed that in Dubrovnik. We did. We went to Dubrovnik and saw the city. It was really cool, dude. Oh, that's sick. I've always wanted to visit there. You go there and everything... Because Game of Thrones is their biggest claim to fame there. Even though there's a ton of history that happened. But everything there is like walk of shame drink. Walk of shame appetizer. T-shirts. You could get

You could get your picture taken on the Iron Throne. Like they had every, they. I love, they're taking advantage of it. Oh yeah. I love that. It's so funny. That's so sick. And then we did this Game of Thrones tour where they're like, this right here is where this person got their head chopped off. And if you come over here, it's just like so funny. No, it was cool. Like seeing all the different scenes. Because the game, like where they do the walk of shame, like that wasn't actually heard. I would, I would just, I would recreate it. Like I would get naked right in the middle of it and I would just do it. I'll have my friend film it for a video. Oh my God. They'd probably love it. They'd be like, yes.

I heard they had a body double for that. Cause I was like, that's a crazy scene of film. Like it did look very like when you're, when you looked, when you look at it again, go back and watch it. You could tell it's CGI. I actually noticed it. Yeah.

The first time we watched it, like I looked up close. I was like, that's 100% CGI. There's no way. And just knowing the actress too, like I've watched interviews. She doesn't seem like the actress that would want to do a scene like that. Like it's a very crazy scene to like do. Yeah. For anybody. Like to be in front of hundreds of people like that and like in a scene like that, it's very degrading. And the nature of it too. Yeah. That would mess with you. Yeah. We never got back to your type. You were talking about your type. Oh yeah. Shoot. What is your type? Oh, okay. Yeah.

You really want to know. You want looks or more personality? Both. A sense of humor is very, very important, I feel like, especially with what I'm doing or who I'm with every day. I feel like we all have the same sense of humor. Just someone who's down to have fun and be funny. Someone I can joke around with. We just kind of sh** on each other. I think that's always fun. A girl who...

because I suck at cooking. I really suck at cooking. And normally, I feel like girls like to find guys that cook. But I really have to find a girl that knows how to cook because I suck. Can you grill, though? I feel like grilling is pretty... I could grill. Because I don't really cook. I think it's like the...

putting stuff concocting yeah together that i'm really bad at yeah so good i didn't even like i just got lucky because i really really like food so i feel like i would suck at doing this like fitness challenge that you're doing so i just i love food so much like she made us homemade pretzels the other night and they were delicious homemade pretzel like you baked it in like soft she made the dough from scratch dude yes that sounds amazing yeah

I can definitely, I could grill though. I can, I can perfect my grilling. Yeah. That's the one thing I'm like, I'm not going to grill. Just so we can like, you know, 50, 50, she can like in the kitchen, I'll be on the grill. What's the look? Are you into blondes, brunettes, someone tall, someone short? Like medium, medium rare. We're talking about burgers, right? Yeah, burgers. That was good. Um,

I'm definitely more into like brunettes for some reason. I like dark features, like dark eyebrows, dark eyes, darker skin. I don't know. I think it's because it's the Arab in me too, because Arabian, like Lebanese girls, Arabian women, they're like, they have dark features too. So I think that's like what I like to, that's what I would want. And,

my girl, my type. Nice. Wait, okay. I'm so sorry. Did you say that you had a girlfriend? Because you mentioned like a girlfriend and then I was like, wait, are we asking you your type and then you also have a girlfriend? Oh, no, no, no. I don't have a girlfriend right now. Okay, good. Oh, did I say girlfriend? You mentioned like something about like if I had a girlfriend, something earlier. Yeah, if I had a girlfriend. You mentioned something about if I had a girlfriend. I don't know if you said it that way. You said something about it. No, no, no. His girlfriend must be really mad right now if we're just talking about his type. And then she's like blonde. Yeah.

That always scares me to like describe my type because I don't want to make it seem like, oh, all he cares about is this, this, this. That's why I'm like, kind of like, I'm trying to go back and forth between looks and personality. Like, and I was like, I was just overthinking it. That's true.

I always get scared of the way I'm saying something because I like I feel like it could be perceived differently when people are watching it So I get like a little scared well That's what sucks about social media is like if you could explain yourself about everything you say yeah You wouldn't like offend anybody like when you make a statement and then maybe it gets clipped and then yeah sees it and they take it out of Context and then someone's offended and it's yeah, I can be messy. Is there crazy like I

It's crazy that now when I do podcasts, I'm not even really worried about people watching the podcast. It's just the clips on TikTok. Isn't that crazy? It's the clips on TikTok you have to worry about instead of the actual episode. Because the actual episode is not like... When you watch the whole thing, you're not really like...

paying attention too much of certain like or specific things but like a 15 second tick tock oh you're like really you're honing down to everything they're saying that's taken out of context too like the clips have really gotten yeah i know it's funny you mentioned that because i saw a clip of you on tick tock that was like you you like announced it was like this big announcement on your podcast you're like i got served for the first time i'm going like into court

And it was so funny. And then like everyone in the comments is guessing about what the court case is about. And it's just like, if they just watch it, it has nothing to do with anything. It's just like, I think it had something to do with one of the music videos that I did. Oh, I believe it was about the WAP video or something like that. It was something in that world where my video had,

was like the foundation of it but like had nothing to do with me i didn't have to like i wasn't getting in trouble i just thought that was so funny and like and you said you got an email that said you had to show up in court i'm like crap dude i never checked my email so if i got an email saying i need to show up in court that's how they let you know so screwed um i'm not sure if that's how they let everybody know but like i i know they definitely do stuff through email abby checks our email so i thank you babe i'm really i check my spam folder all the time because i there's so many so many

That goes into spam folder and junk. Yeah. Yeah. I miss a lot of one, one after it was like two years. One day I was like, let me check my junk folder. And the amount of important emails that I missed was a nightmare. Nightmare. So now I check it every. Okay. I'm going to like hurry and go check my email. Yeah, you should. You should. You can check it out right now. I'll wait. Okay.

Okay. Um, dude, about, about getting married. Like I heard you say something somewhere about wanting to like wait until your fitness journey was over until you started like dating again. Are you, are you like actively taking a break? I was kind of kidding. Oh, you were. Okay. I feel like I want to just finish this because I'm so focused on it. Right. Like right now I'm focused half my days, like in my head is like steps, steps. You don't want to take a girl on a first date and then take out your scale.

- Exactly, exactly. - And start doing something. - I'm probably gonna wanna have a couple drinks and in the back of my head, I'd be like, Zane, like you just stop drinking, stop drinking, you shouldn't be drinking. And it's because I get like, especially on a first date, I'm obviously nervous just like anybody else would be. And so I'd rather just like finish this because this is all I'm thinking about right now. And then when December ends, then that's like off my plate, off my shoulders. And like, then I can start dating. - That's funny, most people start their fitness journeys

right after December and that's when you're going off. Yeah, but I'm still going to keep going. I'm not like done. I'm still going to implement this lifestyle. Like I'm, I'm going to stick with it. It's funny you mentioned getting nervous because someone like you, I don't know. I just, I think like I get nervous, but like nobody else gets nervous. Like, oh, like Zane probably never gets anxious or nervous because he's done this for so long. Has that gotten better as you've like made more content or do you still get like nervous just like you did in the beginning?

No, I think it's actually getting worse the first like few years I feel like I my confidence was through the roof not like in a bad way But like I felt so comfortable being on camera I was actually the most unhealthiest at my most unhealthiest at the time I was I was big and chubby my beard. I didn't really take care of myself but like

I felt honestly the most confident. I was just like, you know, just had the camera in my face. I would talk to the camera. I wouldn't really stutter a lot. I was like, I was not nervous or had any anxiety. And then it just over the years just started getting worse, worse and worse. I think it's just because more people started watching. So I just started overthinking everything. And then I would see a comment here and there of talking about just like the quality of the videos or something happening around me.

the friend group or anything, it just started eating me up and like it started making me feel like I had to watch everything I posted. And then it just got to the point where I was just like, oh my God, I just don't want to post videos anymore. And that's when I, that's like why I stopped. I'm so sorry. Oh no, it's fine. It's fine. Yeah. It's, thank God we have the podcast now because the podcast, it's, it's a completely different world, right? Like four friends sitting on a couch. It's almost like you're just, you know,

having a conversation with your friends that's much more different than like holding out a camera and expecting everybody around you to have to like interact with you for your for because for your video and it's like i always i always felt weird asking people to help me in my videos you know but like because it's a podcast and you know it's me and heath's or like the four of ours it's easier to like come together it's you don't feel like it's people are doing something for you you're you're all doing it for each other yeah in a sense so like

Watching the vlogs, it seemed like from an outsider looking in, it looked like it was just the craziest, most elevated, fun experience. Oh, absolutely. It was. Yeah. That's really cool. Because even the birthday vlog where you met Kendall Jenner, you're riding like a bull. And then there's like this really cool cake.

And just like so many fun things. I'm like, that looks like the craziest, coolest. At that time, I was still like, I feel like my anxiety didn't even really hit that much at that time. I was like, I was doing great for the first, like, I would say like seven years, six, seven years. I was doing amazing. And then I think it was like maybe right before the pandemic. It was like right around that time where it really hit.

I started like just panicking and like having panic attacks. And that's when I was like, Oh, I definitely need medication. Like I'm starting to get like really bad anxiety where I don't want to be on camera, blah, blah, blah. And then starting from then till now, I've been spending my past four years, like trying to figure out like what medication to take, like, what should I be doing? That's why I started working out. That's why I'm eating better. It's like, I'm making these changes to help me, uh,

Um, just, just feel better and be able to get work done and not spiral that fly is driving me crazy. I like going around. No, I don't even know how it gets in the house. It like it's, it's, it's settles here and then it just doesn't go away. And I swear, I don't know where it comes from. I appreciate you being vulnerable, vulnerable about that. Cause like I, I can so relate. Um, and I actually get like the craziest.

pressure in my chest. Before going to school and high school, I was like, man, what are people going to think about me? What if I did something stupid? I want to be accepted. I want to be cool. I don't want to be a loser. And it's just like all these thoughts and then you can't sleep at night because it's like keeping you up. But what's crazy is

for whatever reason like having a relationship with abby like really helped me out of that like i felt like she she really knew me and she knew me better than anybody else did and so and so like i don't know i feel like i want you to find that person because i don't know where you're at in your journey but yeah i feel like that's going to be just the best to have that person that you can truly be completely utterly vulnerable with and yeah just accept you i can't wait i can't wait for this girl to surprise me just like come out of nowhere because that's i mean that's

I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a, I'm a, we probably lose all my friends. It comes as such a like surprise and shock where I'm just like, guys, I don't know what to do. Um, but you know, I love that feeling though, where it's like, it comes out of nowhere and you, you have to, you're talking to all your friends, like, I like this group, like, like just getting advice on like, even just like after the first, second day, just like asking for all this like advice. I'm going to need a lot of advice. Have you had a lot of serious relationships? No, no, I haven't. I had like one, 10,

me one serious relationship, but like that ended after like seven, eight months and I haven't had one since, but I also wasn't actively looking for one. I wasn't really like going on dates. I would, I would, you know, sometimes I meet girls out, but definitely not the first thing in my mind was like, I need to find a girlfriend or I need to, um, I need to, uh, what's

What's the word? Like get married or settle down. Settle down. Like, okay, this girl, I need to settle down with her. Like it's, I've always just, there's always been this giant wall, right? But like if there's a, once I find that girl, I go, I go right over. Yeah.

Right over and that wall is completely down. Yeah. It's funny. The next thing you know, you got two kids. Yeah. Do you want kids? Is that going to be a thing? Yeah. Depending on the girl, right? Oh, yeah. It all depends on the couple. Like if you want kids or not. Totally. It all depends. Because it's not, it's like now you have another person that also is a part of that decision and like,

Us right now, we just had two babies back to back. So we don't know what we're going to do next. And we decided, hey, let's just take some time and see how we feel in a couple of years. Because right now we have our hands full. So it's totally cool to, I don't know, think on that. If you guys can slide into Zane's DMs right now. If you're someone watching this. If you look like Mila Kunis. Actually, no. First, go to their unplanned.

Instagram page so it can be filtered out to me, right? So first it's going to filter out through Abby, then filter out through him, and then it'll get to me. So we're going to have a little audition process. Gotcha. But if you want to do the unfiltered way, go to their unfiltered Instagram. It'll be all unfiltered for you. Yeah, we'll have Jordan and Mariah go through all of them.

That's hilarious. I want you to find that person. I don't know. I mean, it's just like, just talk to them. Yeah, I feel like I will. I just got to trust the process. Totally. I feel like I will.

Again, I'm just like expecting it to surprise me. Like I think it's going to come out of nowhere. Hearing like about your life, I'm like we were so sheltered. Yeah, he was telling me in the other room like you guys like just skipped like that college phase was... So we're probably going to do it once we're empty nesters. Like when we're like... Or when you're like older, your kids are growing up. 20 years from now when I'm 45, I'm going to just like go crazy. You know what? I love that idea. I think that's a great idea and I think that's a healthier idea than doing it all when you're younger too. But then maybe...

We won't bounce back. We're going to be the weird 45-year-old couple in the club. No, I think you guys are going to be the fun older couple. For sure. You guys have kids. They've already gone to college. They're good kids. They're not like bad kids, right? It's not like a family crumbled apart. They're in college. They're doing great. You guys are celebrating their life and all the hard work you've put into them. And now you're going to start drinking. I don't know. Yeah, then we do.

Maybe I'm projecting what I want to do onto you guys. I'm like, that sounds pretty fun. I kind of want to do that too. Yeah, let me do that. I was thinking of that earlier and I'm like, okay, I really need to keep like, watch my words here because like whatever Zane wants to do is what Zane wants to do. You don't need to get married. You don't need to settle down. You can do whatever the freak you want to do. Yeah, exactly. I get to do what I want to do. It's my life. Exactly. You're right. You should be wild forever. But when I'm 40, 45, I know it's going to hit me. Like that loneliness is going to be the worst feeling. So I do hope

That. Hello? Oh, I forgot. There was somebody else here. I'm like, someone's walking through the back. This is not good, guys. It's like, is someone intruding into this house right now? It's happened before. You know how many people have broken into my house? Like front door. No. Scary. That's terrifying. Dude, this city is wild. No, not this house. In, um...

Close to Studio City. Was it because of you being a social media person or was it just breaking in just to break in? I don't know. Maybe it was. We never caught the guy, so who knows? But we saw footage. They literally kicked down the door. And you weren't home though.

That time I wasn't home. Oh gosh. One time we were home, me, Natalie, Todd, we were all sleeping and a person came right into the house. That's terrifying. Right into the house. Was in the house for maybe 15, 20 minutes. In our house while we were sleeping. 15, 20 minutes? Yeah. I watch way too much Dayline. When we saw that footage, it was like three days later. I...

Wait, you woke up in the morning. You didn't know someone had been in the house? Well, because I couldn't find my car keys. It's like... And I'm the type to lose myself a lot. So, like, it was very normal. I'm like, I can't find my car keys. And then after a day of, like, not finding, I was like, okay, I got to check the cameras. Like, there's no way my keys are missing. This is really weird. We look at the footage and we see...

somebody breaking into our house that is stop yeah terrifying terrifying so he was trying to steal i used to have a lamar guinieris very i know what i don't have it anymore i went to tesla now okay i don't need a car like that and um so thank god todd was parked behind me and todd had his keys on him in his bedroom oh so he couldn't get out he couldn't get it but like that car would have been

gone but i'm pretty sure cars like that they have like gps systems right but i'm sure whoever's stealing it i'm sure they know exactly what to do with it if they steal a car that's that's so bold to like come into your house it's crazy i i think it's crazy that somebody has the ball so like walking to a house when some people people have guns like if somebody if somebody wakes up and they have a gun and you're in their house

Or if I was like, if I was breaking into a house and that person like has a gun, like there is a good chance that they're going to shoot you. Like you're like, and you're from Florida. Like, I feel like everyone in Florida has a gun. So like you break into a house. Yeah. Like,

It's scary. Like people like breaking in. It's, you don't know what they're gonna try. You don't know if they're gonna kill you. There's been, especially lately, there's been just so many people just breaking in. They're trying to steal something, but they don't mind popping a bullet in them before going. Like it's, people are so just like. No, that's terrifying. They just don't care. They don't care about other people's lives. And yeah, that's just scary. Well, I just, I hear our son waking up from his nap. So I feel like. No, what do you mean? I feel like.

We gotta wrap things up. It's nice hearing a baby. I know. You gotta get used to that. You hear that cry? No, maybe he won't. Maybe he'll... I thought it'd be funny. I'm like, have you ever held a newborn before? Um...

I haven't in a long time, but I'd like the whole one. I'd like the whole one today. We can do it on the show for the ladies to see how I am as a dad. What if we will like take a video and we can put it up on the podcast Instagram. Absolutely. Let's do it. Well, Zane, it's been so fun talking to you. Imagine we come going for 30 more

minutes and the entire time you're watching like you guys are gonna grab the baby is like Matt let's go get our child but hey you can find Zane on Zane and Heath unfiltered he's also on Instagram he has a YouTube channel I don't think you post there anymore
