Zach opens up about method-acting fallout from Tyler Perry’s Ruthless (playing “Yancy”), mental health, and how sensitivity became his superpower. Then he and Bryce play Hero or Villain: Music Legends—a fast, debate-style game where a spinning wheel lands on an artist (Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, Drake, Justin Bieber, Kendrick Lamar). For each pick, they read a short backstory prompt, lock in a verdict (Hero, Villain, or Both), then do a 60-second rapid debate before the next spin. After the game, they break down Zach’s track “Wolverine”—lyrics, meaning, and healing—plus the awkward Hugh Jackman photo story and a shoutout to Victoria Monét.
