Welcome to Zach to the Future. I'm your co-host, Dachal Driscoll, joined today by Mark Paul Gossler, but you might know him better as Nitro. Hello, Mark Paul. Well, hello, Dashel. Or should I say Nitro? Why did I come up with that Australian accent? Do you think that was written in the script? Yeah, I think so. Wouldn't it be great if I remembered these things? It would be. I'm sure our audience by now is like, if he would just fucking remember things. What a podcast. But I just don't. I'm going to say, yeah, that what, that from, I'll offer my sage writer's perspective as someone who's written on one full season of a TV show. Yeah, it was probably written. I mean, I don't think they'd just let you on set and said, like, Mark Paul, whatever's in your gut. I'm sure it said, you know, Nitro, the Australian voice. You had to disguise it, you know, it was a big secret. And it's weird that they would come up with Nitro because Nitro, this was in the 90s and the early 90s, and this was

at the height of American Gladiator with my buddy, Dan Clark, who played Nitro.

Him and I were friends, I think then only because we would do these, we talked about this in

the past, those celebrity basketball games. Hollywood Knights. And then then, Hollywood Nights. And then him and I later reconnected in life when we both were

doing CrossFit here in Studio City. And yeah, we've remained friends. Like, he's somebody

that I could actually text and call. We should have

actually got him on this podcast if I thought about it. Well, you know what? Hey, the door is always open

for a guest. You know, it's funny you say we should have because as I was like finishing up my notes,

it hit me at the last minute, oh my God, we should have talked to Nikki Glazer because this podcast,

this episode's about a tiny blonde girl who falls in love with zach morris and from what i could gather the last time she was on that's the the nicky glaser story so maybe we'll do like a nitro nicky combo episode the the you know cute blonde little girl is also the breck and mire story so we could have done we could have had breckin on as well, but we weren't thinking ahead. Yeah, we weren't. And I got to say, so if you're keeping score at home, we now have three possible guests we could have but didn't. And a, wouldn't it be great if we could remember this thing? So we are just sprinting out of the gate here for season two. Mark Paul, I feel like we're dipping our toe into talking about the episode. If it's okay with you,

I'd like to read a not, it's a not brief summary this week. I'm not going to lie to you.

There's a lot happens in this, but I've prepared it and I'm ready to deliver it.

Dash will take it away.

Kelly's little sister, Nikki, has a secret crush on Zach who plans to use Lisa's skill for good

advice into a 900 number for teens, so he, Screech, and Lisa can get rich. Zach, in Australian

vocal disguise as Nitro, advises Nikki to pursue her crush, Zach rebuffs her advances at school,

but gives her a goodbye kiss and hug to get her to leave that Jesse sees. Lisa's advice was too good, and nobody at Bayside has any more problems that would

necessitate a line, so Zach gives bad advice. Jesse tries to tell Kelly about Zach and Nikki, but

she doesn't believe it. Then, through a phone mix-up, Zach accidentally dumps Kelly and reveals

his identity and professes his love to Nikki.

Zach's bad advice has created chaos at Bayside.

Belding makes him promise to fix it.
