Episode Details

What does the worst day of Zach’s life look like? Losing a pair of Versace sunglasses in the river, losing a shoe, nearly fighting a group of strangers, jumping off a bridge, getting the wind knocked out of him, having a beach ball thrown out of a bus — and somehow ending the night with a Pizza Hut dine-and-dash. Matt Reyna and Zach look back at some of the dumbest and funniest decisions they made when they were younger, including one unforgettable trip to the Comal River and another road trip to Kickapoo that ended with the entire crew lined up on the side of the highway.
