Men Aren't Having Enough Sex - Zack Telander - #480

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Zack Telander. He's a weightlifter, coach and a YouTuber. Serious problems are afoot. The number of men reporting no sex in the last year has tripled since 2010 Monkeypox is running rampant, and Amber Heard is able to get into the bottom of a squat on an unstable surface, but hasn't tried to take up the sport of Olympic weightlifting yet. Thankfully, Zack is here to shill his wares, try and acquire Amber as a coaching client, and also work out just what's going on. Expect to learn why men's and women's beauty standards are diverging in 2022, what a 200-kilo Greek man can teach us about training for the difficult, whether we can find patient zero for monkeypox, why men can't get laid, my experience not being kidnapped in Guatemala, why Jonny Depp wears cooler sunglasses than you, and much more. I always enjoy having Zack on the show, the same as Jonny and Youssef. It's great having high intensity conversations about stuff that really matters. But sometimes I just want to gossip. You're going about your day. You're busy doing whatever you're doing. You just want a nice voice, a nice familiar voice in the background, talking about monkeypox or Amber Heard pooing on a bed. This is where we are today. But now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Zack Telander.
Zack Telander, welcome to the show.

**Zack Telander** (1:39)
I'm back.

**Chris Williamson** (1:40)
Back again.

**Zack Telander** (1:40)
How many times is this?

**Chris Williamson** (1:42)
Five, six, maybe, I don't know. Not enough.

**Zack Telander** (1:45)
Yes, I'm the guy.

**Chris Williamson** (1:47)
Not enough, that's how many.

**Zack Telander** (1:51)
That's right, that's right. I'm very comfortable here now.

How are you feeling after your weekend gig playing Champagne Supernova to a massive crowd of 18 adults and five children?

**Zack Telander** (2:04)
You know, I feel like a celebrity, you know, just walking into a party, picking up an instrument and singing an absolute classic. That's by the way, like I said that that night, like that is got to be a staple if you're trying to just have a sing along song. Really any Oasis song we've determined. Champagne Supernova.

**Chris Williamson** (2:23)
In the UK, if you were to ask it in the UK, it would be a bit cheesy because everybody already thinks that. To put Wonderwall or Don't Look Back in Anger or Champagne Supernova, it's so obvious. But I said it in America and everyone was like, yes, amazing idea. I'm thinking the first thing that came to mind.

**Zack Telander** (2:44)
Wonderwall is like that here. That is a corny one to choose. If you got to pick up a guitar and you start playing Wonderwall, you're going to get shit for it 100 percent because it's just like, you know, the meme where the conversation ends and you go, anyway, here's Wonderwall, you know?

**Chris Williamson** (3:02)
No.

**Zack Telander** (3:03)
Yes. So it is a widely known thing. It's like, don't play Wonderwall. But Champagne Supernova, that's not off limits.

**Chris Williamson** (3:11)
You crushed it, man. It was good. Yeah, we had a great Saturday. I went to Lift ATX, this new indoor outdoor gym. That was fantastic. It's a bit hot. It's very hot. Austin, generally, man, I went away to Guatemala, right? So I'm in Guatemala getting the visa thing. And then I come back and some things happened. Someone's flicked a switch in Austin. And this place is disgusting now. And it's about everyone's like, oh, just wait until summer arrives. I don't want to wait until summer arrives. This is already far too much for me.

**Zack Telander** (3:38)
Yeah, it's at a certain point, it's either like you go from AC unit to AC unit, or AC unit to pool, you know?

**Chris Williamson** (3:47)
To shower, to AC unit.

**Zack Telander** (3:49)
Yeah, to shower. You don't want to, you're not just like doing outdoor activities and not having like air conditioning near you.

**Chris Williamson** (3:56)
Well, for sure. Everyone in England knows, most people in cold places understand that you want to dress appropriately and spend as little time in the cold as possible, moving from a heated car to a heated house, to a heated office, to a gym or whatever. But the reverse just is so bizarre. It's like, oh, you don't want to go outside, it's too hot. It's never been a problem. I've always wanted it to be more hot. But yeah, so did lift ATX, that was cool. Went to see everything everywhere all at once with Sky, because it's to do with Asian stuff, so Sky was in love with it. And for the people that haven't seen it, it's pretty cool. I don't think it's the best film ever made, which tons of people are giving it that accolade, but it's pretty good.
