Eric Nam is back! We haven't had the singer, songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, producer and podcasting powerhouse on the show since 2022 — although Zach is convinced it's been seven years. What is time anyway! Somehow Eric looks younger than ever, despite having approximately 17 different careers. From growing up in Atlanta and singing in choir to becoming a major star in South Korea, building DIVE Studios and making his way back into the American entertainment industry, Eric reflects on his unconventional career, the changing relationship between K-pop and Western pop, and the power of curiosity. He also talks about his fourth album, 'Confessions of a Lonely Heart,' how heartbreak and broken trust have influenced his music, and why loneliness doesn't necessarily mean being sad or unfulfilled. Plus, Eric takes us behind the scenes of 'The Traitors,' including his initial reservations about joining the cast, getting stabbed in the back, AND secretly filming a music video with his fellow contestants. We also get into voicing Aang in 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' auditioning for Hollywood roles, his experiences with 'K-Pop: The Debut,' and executive producing DAYOUNG's solo album. Naturally, there's also talk of Scorpio nightmares, astrological compatibility, Asian glow, and whether Zach or Dan would survive a single episode of 'The Traitors.' Thoughts?

We’ve got Remi Wolf on the couch for the first time (along with her little doggo) to talk about her incredible third album, 'Mud.’ We talk to the Palo Alto-born singer about turning 30 and the personal reckoning that shaped this new chapter of her life. She opens up about getting sober (again) after an emotional meltdown at Lollapalooza in 2025, navigating depression, body image and heartbreak, and the strange contradiction of having to be completely vulnerable to make a record, then put on armor to release it. She also discusses her changing relationship with fame and what 'Mud' represents to her, the art of staying friends with exes, dating fellow musicians, and the stories behind 'Yellow Rose' and 'I Won't Cry.' Plus how she got John Mayer on her record, her time as a Junior Olympian, her acting debut as herself in 'Off Campus,' and so much more.

Formed in Frankenmuth, Michigan, in 2012, Greta Van Fleet have been making music since they were barely teenagers. Now, 14 years later, twins Josh (30) and Jake Kiszka (30), younger brother Sam Kiszka (27), and drummer Danny Wagner (27) are back with their new fourth album 'Palace for the People,' and join us in the studio for the first time. We talk about the inspiration behind the record, growing up in the public eye, being torn apart by critics, winning a Grammy, and those breakup rumors they inadvertently fueled earlier this year. They also discuss why they've worked with a different producer on every album, their first impressions of each other, twin telepathy, their hometown roots, the lady behind their name, and what rock n roll means in 2026.

It’s been just 12 months since he last sat on our couch but in the interim Riley Green’s star has only burned brighter. He's gearing up to headline Stagecoach 2027, slid into Blake Shelton's chair on 'The Voice,' and made his acting debut in 'Marshals.' Somehow, he's also found time to release a new album, 'That's Just Me.' We get into the stories behind the album's 23 tracks, his collaborations with Jake Worthington and Hannah McFarland, and why songwriting is still the most rewarding part of his career. Riley also talks about discovering a whole new side of himself on 'The Voice,' how Luke Grimes helped him land his first acting role, and why, despite all his success, he sometimes misses the simplicity of his old life working construction in Alabama. Plus, we talk hunting, nostalgia, his dog Carl, why he still insists on running his own Instagram account, and much more.

We can't believe it's taken this long, but Lance Bass is finally making his Zach Sang Show debut! Lance joins us to talk about his new show 'Cocktail Wars' with longtime bestie and fellow 'NSYNC member Joey Fatone, filming 10 shows in five days, and just how much liquor was imbibed. He takes us back to the early days of 'NSYNC, from living together and figuring out his place in the group to the moment he realized just how famous they'd become. We get into the Lou Pearlman of it all, why the guys didn't walk away nearly as rich as people assumed, the supposed rivalry with Backstreet Boys, his friendship with their members, and where things stand with an 'NSYNC reunion. Lance also opens up about growing up gay in Mississippi, spending his boy-band years in the closet, and the secret relationships and celebrity crushes of the '90s. Plus, he tells us about his intense six months training to become a cosmonaut in Russia, his 'Zoolander' cameo, making out with Danielle Fishel, discovering Ryan Tedder (with a little help from his mom), and life as a dad to twins. We also talk about BTS, KATSEYE, his obsession with 'Bluey,' his latest children's book, and why he's still a kid at heart.

Nessa Barrett was just here five months ago to talk about her EP 'Jesus Loves a PrimaDonna' — and now she’s already back with her third album, 'Tough Love.' She talks about how that EP informed the new record, becoming Bunny — and the various characters on the record as facets of her — imagining her exes watching from the audience, making “Fetish” her BPD hot-girl anthem, the Fleetwood Mac and Eagles influence on “Coming Home Again,” and the stories behind “Candy,” “Dracula,” “Glamorous” and “God Gave Me Expensive Taste.” Nessa also opens up about sex, intimacy and why this is the first time she’s written about those experiences, plus why she isn’t looking for love right now. And then we get into her into her dark-romance obsession — specifically the ‘Edge of Darkness’ trilogy, the five books she’s apparently written, whether she’ll ever publish under an alias, her new-ish tramp stamp, moonwater — and Nessa having absolutely no idea what a Sidekick is.

Things get a little witchy — and a lot chaotic — when the ‘Coven Academy’ stars Malina Pauli Weissman, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, and Louis Thresher hit the couch. The new supernatural series follows three teenage witches at an elite magic school in New Orleans, where they’re learning to control their powers while dealing with friendship, grief, dangerous secrets and, naturally, some very complicated crushes. Malina plays Briar, Jordan plays mind-reading Sasha, Ora plays time-bending Tegan, and Louis? Well he's struggling as the newly turned vampire Ollie. Also at the center of the story is Malachi Barton as warlock Jake — Ollie’s competition in a love triangle with Briar. We talk about the very real chemistry that emerged during chemistry reads (even via Zoom), first on-screen kisses, who the cast ship in the Briar/Jake/Ollie love triangle, and finding pieces of themselves in their characters. Plus: anxiety and OCD, grief, the show’s take on witches and vampires (and vampires queer energy overall), their instant sisterhood, magical powers they’d absolutely abuse IRL, ‘Wednesday,’ ‘Cruella’ and ‘Saltburn’ homework, music, their ’90s-icon co-star Tiffani Thiessen — and trying to figure out exactly who is the guncle, younger cousin, wine aunt and older sister of this very loud found family.

Chelsea Cutler is back on the pod! She’s been here many times over the years, but this time there’s a lot to catch up on — a new city, a new relationship, a new era and her fourth album, ‘IS THIS THE END?’ Chelsea opens up about making the record in real time during a particularly vulnerable and challenging season of her life, and why she’s not interested in wrapping everything up with neat answers or resolution. We get into the chaos of being in your 20s, turning 30 and feeling like she’s living through her own coming-of-age movie, moving to LA, heartbreak, dating multiple people, Hinge, exploring her sexuality, and what she’s actually attracted to in a partner. She also talks about her OCD diagnosis and therapy, coming off antidepressants, learning to sit in stillness, the internet discourse around “BAD,” her Chatty Cathy tendencies, “THE CAR RIDE HOME,” her sing-lisp, the possibility of another Jeremy Zucker collab — and, naturally, bangs, Botox and lasers.

Hasan Minhaj joins us to talk about his new Netflix movie 'Best of the Best,' a college comedy set in the fiercely competitive world of Bollywood fusion dance. He gets into why this was basically Greek life for the South Asian diaspora, writing the movie during lockdown with Prashanth Venkataramanujam and pulling from some painfully true stories from his own life — including bidding hundreds of dollars he didn’t have on his future wife Beena at a UC Davis date auction. We also talk the star power of Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the “Mindy Kaling effect,” A.R. Rahman, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, and why it’s taken so long to make a film like this one. Hasan also talks about being more present, making time away from his kids count and why he wants his work to entertain while still saying something. We get into finding love, laughter, and joy in a divided world, appreciation versus appropriation, his 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner and why “action is the antidote to anxiety.” Plus: does hard work actually equal success? Zillow stalking, his fedora phase, Zach’s eight dogs, and Hasan’s problem with dog people.

The 53-year-old Ital-Chicago native has spent decades turning the everyday absurdities of family, relationships, and human behavior into observational comedy, going from waiting tables for years to honing his craft at The Comedy Store (which he still does) to becoming one of the biggest touring comedians in the country. He joins us to break down his growing SiriusXM podcast universe, including his latest monthly interview series “We Got Company,” while reflecting on joke building, and whether he’s slowly turning into his dad. He also talks about Robert De Niro wanting to spend time with his father while making ‘About My Father,’ getting notes from his dad and how seriously he takes raising grounded kids. We also give Sebastian a crash course in current slang and looksmaxxing, which leads us into his own physical glow-up, skincare and very specific shower routine. Plus: aging jokes, brushing your teeth in the shower, Zach and Dan’s dental habits, Dan’s inability to hold eye contact, carving pumpkins with Justin Bieber, Robby Hoffman, Dane Cook, his need to share his thoughts with complete strangers and Marcello Hernandez impersonating Sebastian in an ‘SNL’ sketch with Harry Styles.

Waterparks’ Awsten Knight is back on the show — at this point, we’ve genuinely lost count of how many times he’s been here — but this time he’s joining us to talk about the band’s new album 'JINX.'Three years in the making, Awsten breaks down the themes behind the record, from existential dread and losing father figures to talking to his inner child and why creativity, for him, is so rooted in that younger version of himself. He also gets into rebuilding the Waterparks team, taking their live shows back to more intimate rooms and collaborating with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus thanks to an assist from Dillon Francis. Predictably the conversation winds up unpredictable. Awsten talks skincare, scoring video games, why making 'JINX' was “better than therapy,” DeuxMoi making it onto the album and whether Austin is actually a good kisser. We also get into his suspiciously soft feet and aloe socks, Otto’s abs, Zach, Dan and Awsten’s sleeping habits, his paranormal obsession, homemade Ouija boards and EMF readers — before Awsten pitches a sleepover.

Meet No Na, the 88rising-signed Indonesian girl group made up of Christy Gardena, Esther Geraldine, Baila Fauri and Shazfa Adesya. This is actually their second time on the show — we first met them last year (unreleased), but now they’re back with a whole debut album, 'island girl,' to dig into. The girls get into their Indonesian roots and the sounds of home that have made their way into the record, from gamelan to angkot horns, plus what it’s like hearing fans around the world learn Bahasa to sing along. We break down "seafood diet," "party in the +62" and "nick of time," their vocal evolution, and which Indonesian instruments they want to experiment with next. Plus we find out more about the girls as individuals: who is the nerd, who was the gymnast, who was in ‘Indonesian Idol’ and ‘Indonesian Idol Jr.’ and the virality of ‘rollerblade.’ They also explain their roles in the group, the influence of Tyler, the Creator, they launch a passionate campaign for justice for durian (which also happens to be a song title), and so much more.

Freya Skye is back! We first had her in back in 2025 alongside the cast of ‘ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires,’ and this time the British singer and actress joins us solo to talk about her latest single ‘Bad Taste’ — bad taste in romantic partners, that is, and finding her identity outside of Disney. She gets into establishing her aesthetic, why she doesn’t think she’s cool, busking at 12, Junior Eurovision, the challenges of the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour tour, and her connection with Alex Warren and the hugely supportive parents who helped her chase her dreams from an early age. Freya also talks about the 40 songs she’s already made for her upcoming album, working with Julia Michaels and her love of Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift. Plus, she reflects on being just 14 when she was cast in ‘ZOMBIES 4,’ taking on the responsibility of a beloved franchise, shooting the fifth installment earlier this year, her ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ guest appearance, and her biggest dreams for what comes next.

Bella Poarch returns for the second time and this time the US Navy veteran turned social media star turned pop powerhouse joins us to dig into her long-awaited debut album ‘Picnic at the Cemetery.’ An incredible visual artist and world-builder, Bella explains how the Filipino tradition of celebrating All Saints’ Day inspired the record, why cemeteries have always felt safe to her and the origin of the Bigheads — characters born partly from the imaginary friends who helped her through a childhood of bullying and abuse. She also opens up about depression, abandonment, maladaptive daydreaming (and what that is), and how writing ‘Ribcage’ made her realize the 20-plus songs she already had weren’t telling her full truth, ultimately changing the direction of the entire album. Bella takes us inside songs including ‘Stay Gone,’ ‘Garden,’ ‘Tooth,’ ‘Nice to Meet Ya’ and ‘My Heaven Is Alone,’ reflecting on relationships, infidelity, and her experience in a military psychiatric ward, as well as the deeply personal story behind her angel wings and ship tattoos. A note before you watch — these tattoos are connected to her lowest point, when she came close to taking her own life. We also get into her taking control and becoming a producer, working with Lucas Sim and Melanie Martinez, her ‘Wednesday’ covers, deleting ‘M to the B,’ writing a Bigheads storybook, her cats Pee Pee, Wee Wee and Doo Doo, why her best ideas come in the bathroom and, crucially, when we’re finally going to teach Bella how to ride a bike.

Tove Lo is back! One of our favorite return guests joins us to talk about her sixth album, ‘Estrus,’ out September 18, and the twisty four-year road that led her there. She breaks down the meaning behind the title — a female animal being “in heat” and why this resonates for her — and gets into writing the record in a tiny fishing village in Sweden, her Swedish versus LA selves, diving headfirst into dance music with SG Lewis and her DJ crew Ladies of Leisure. Tove also gets into what it’s like writing about love nine years into a relationship and contemplating motherhood. Are situationships harder to get over than relationships? And what’s up with her exes resurfacing whenever she releases new music — a phenom she addresses in “The Bad One.” Plus, we get into everything from her childhood detective alter ego Bianca Glitter Rose to working with Lisa and Rosalía, her relationship with mentor Max Martin, her stubbornness around ‘Habits (Stay High),’ why she prefers keeping the behind-the-scenes process behind the scenes, and whether she’s finally learned how to drive.
