Ep. 272: The Friend Who Knows Everyone, Lies About Everything | The Gay Bit
It's Friday, and that means it's The Gay Bit — where Zach makes sure the week ends as gay as possible.
This week, Zach takes us on a tour of a very specific type of friend: the one who knows every owner, attended every opening, and has somehow been to every event before you even finish your sentence. You know the type. Zach does too — and he's got receipts.
He also flashes back to a wild chapter from his Chase Manhattan Bank days, featuring a coworker who claimed she dumped LL Cool J because he got too famous, and whose daughter allegedly went from zero piano lessons to a Carnegie Hall solo in two weeks flat. Two weeks.
Plus: what happens when someone lets a corporate promotion go completely to their head, a red Australian clay mask prank that did NOT go according to plan (Andrew remains unbothered), and the big news — Zach got his ears pierced again at 53 and has zero regrets.
In this episode:
- The "I know the owner" friend and what the psychology might be behind it
- A corporate crash course in how not to act after a promotion
- The Chase Manhattan coworker who dated LL Cool J (allegedly)
- Carnegie Hall: two weeks of piano lessons, one impossible story
- Andrew vs. the red clay mask prank
- Ear piercing, belly buttons, and doing whatever you want at 53
