Zach Answers YOUR Questions | S2 Episode 2

[@lizk9pez]

Zach is the most insightful, intelligent person. I can remember noticing this when he was very young. He’s very much like his mother

[@karenradach7551]

Agreed

[@heathert.4637]

I agree! He’s very much like Amy. ❤️

100% agree. He has always stayed humble and very intelligent and insightful.

[@trevormartinbutton5625]

I just love the two of you. I'm a retired Roman Catholic priest. I should have studied anthropology. I just love meeting and watching different people and cultures. Just love the way thd two of uour are just so open and honest with. Just love your videos about your family. You are always in my prayers. Keep up the great work. Fr. Andrew ❤

[@heathert.4637]

Guys! I’m a 46 year old mom of 2 and have been watching the show from the beginning. I’m loving this pod. It feels like I am actually getting to know the real Zach and Tori. Loved Jackson at the end. What a beautiful boy ❤️❤️

[@birdervaughn5435]

I feel the same.

Tori is right Adult relationships are complicated. I think you have to do what is right for you and your family. It is really nobody’s business how you live your life or handle your relationships with your parents. You guys are doing a great job.

[@christinej9080]

Tori giggling at the "how'd you get that girl" question 😂😂 Tori is so cute!! I love her and Zachs relationship ❤

[@danielamar0214]

Tori I mean this in the most loving way because I love watching you guys; please let Zach talk and finish his sentences. This whole Q&A was about him answering the questions and I fell as you kept interrupting him. Since the beginning of the podcast and reading all the comments people made in the beginning of you not letting him talk you've done better so keep it up and let him finish his whole thoughts. We're all getting to know this whole new side from him that is very interesting, so please allow us to know him better by letting him talk. ❤

[@jenniLyn0208]

She always interrupts Zach, and it makes it hard for me to watch them. I love listening to Zach, WHEN he does get a chance to talk, but when she starts talking over him, interrupting and making it all about her, I have to end the video. As much as I like them and enjoy watching, I can never get through an entire episode. This was supposed to be a Zach answers questions and tells all, but Tori had to take over as usual. It's so annoying and rude. Please, Tori, let Zach have a chance to finish what he starts talking about, THEN have your turn. It would definitely be a much more enjoyable watch and listen.

[@ATiredMom]

Interesting to me that you take it that way, because I would have never thought anyone would think this after listening to this episode. I don't feel like she interrupts. What you are calling interrupting seems like participating in the discussion to me. That is how a good podcast is. Curious if you feel people who chime in to contribute to convos are actually interrupting? Hmm, curious if this is a personality difference thing or a family culture thing or what? Also, many of the questions involve them both and he doesn't seem to mind in general and goes along with her comments showing he appreciates her contributions.

[@sandischoenberg9501]

100 percent agree!!! Tori, take a break and let him TALK!!!! I stopped watching bc I can’t handle when someone is so disrespectful for not letting someone talk and finish their thought, interruptions!! Take a hint Tori, shut up!!

[@ATiredMom]

​@@sandischoenberg9501 wow. So odd. Didn't seem that way to me at all. She didn't interrupt. It's her podcast too. If you notice, the one place that she did interrupt a bit more was when she was trying to get him to credit himself more.

[@minuka]

Haha i agree! I think she tries to support him sometimes by finishing his sentence but yeah was a bit distracting

[@juliespady]

Social media is so frustrating. It must make you crazy! People don’t really understand what is really going on in your family. I love you guys. So grounded. So honest. So true to yourselves.

[@nancybrown8338]

Great answers to questions Zach. With family it's always hard. Sometimes you have to step back for awhile to keep your sanity and just do what's best for you. Hard thing but necessary and things have a way of working out. I enjoy your podcast. ❤

[@ellyne3863]

I applaud you Zac for admitting your relationship with your dad isn’t the best. I have a very strained relationship with my parents and I feel very judged when I admit that to other people; many don’t understand. It takes courage not only to be mindful and aware enough to realize a relationship or person is unhealthy but even more courage to admit your relationship with a parent isn’t great. You’re a strong man and I believe you’ll be better off mentally by sticking to your guns and owning your truth.

[@touchegoddess1961]

Sticking to his guns? He's in the wrong. One day he's going to regret it. No question.

[@sarsonder5127]

THIS. I love how Tori and Zach both admitted that adult relationships are hard and can be toxic and that parents aren’t the heros we thought they were.

[@bigbrowneyes4u]

​@@touchegoddess1961you are making assumptions, and his perception on what has happened in his own life is a part of his story. His feelings are valid. None of us lived with this family, and therefore have no right to judge.

[@bigbrowneyes4u]

​@@sarsonder5127agree 💯

[@touchegoddess1961]

@bigbrowneyes4u I have every right to judge since they put their lives out there. He's in the wrong. Period. Huge sense of entitlement on his part and Tory too.

[@deborahrich2666]

Zach, you are so honest with honest clear feelings!

[@soraislas1334]

I'm a big fan of yours, Zach. You're so cool and down-to-earth. I've always seen you as the voice of reason in your family. You've shown incredible wisdom and thoughtfulness, especially in how you handle situations with your father. I really admire how supportive you are of your mother. Whenever your father did something questionable, you were always the one to call him out on it.

[@patriciatibbetts4304]

I love love ❤️ you guys and your children are just the sweetest I only wished I could see you on TV again To see how much I love you ❤️ guys I still watch the reruns

[@tamaraatkinson940]

Great episode. I love how measured Zach is in his thinking. I appreciate his honest, yet respectful, take on his relationship with his Dad. My mother, who is 92, still try’s to parent me. Keep up the good work with your kids!

[@paulaharvey1111]

You two are so completely GENUINE!!!!! Quit watching the show years ago because of all the scripted drama. It was embarrassing to watch. But this channel is sooo refreshingly positive and funny and real that I am enjoying it very much!!!! You two are adorable as a couple and family with the kids! It feels like we are getting to know the REAL people and we like them a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Summer55Nicole]

Honestly, Zack you’re a pretty awesome person. I’ve been rewatching the show from the beginning with a new perspective as a wife and mother and gosh you and your mom are awesome. You both are so relatable and practical and you can see the kindness in the things that you do. Maybe a little pessimist at times lol but in the most wholesome way. I think you’ve grown into a great person and the people that have anything unkind to say about you clearly haven’t watched the show. The show is verrrrrry telling I’ll just say that. I’m glad you and Tori have created your own safe place for yourselves and for your kids to grow up in. Keep up the good work on the podcast 👍🏼

[@blancawolford3958]

Absolutely loved this episode!!! I love how level headed Zach is!!! So glad we still get to see you all on your podcast!! I will miss the show as well. ❤❤❤ you all!!

[@cyndeewenzel6439]

I just love Raising Heights so much! The Q & A's are really fun and it's nice to hear you both talk about the situations you're going through. And hear the actual truth! I loved the question about Zachs favorite things about the kids. 💗Happy "Belated" Birthday Zach and Jackson! 🙏🎂🎉🎁🎈🎊 Keep up the good work with these amazing podcasts/videos.

[@tialumakeup7073]

I love how level headed Zach is. I really enjoy his insights and your guys dynamic. 🙌🏼

[@girodeitalia2259]

Do you think he’d be as levelheaded as he is but not for the money coming in from the show? It’s really easy when you have money to act a certain way, but when you don’t have that money in you’re living off a teacher salary and or a individual who works at a sporting goods store it isn’t as easy to sit back in your million dollar house and pick and choose what project you want to work on next. I understand they have KZbin and other ways to earn money off the Internet, but if that all went away, I could only imagine what they would do I know Tori at least can fall back on her education and go back to teaching, but Zach as I’m sure you know if you follow the series barely made it through high school and but not for the help of his mother more likely then not would not have made it through high school, the guy was ready to give up and thank God Amy was there to keep him going

[@zstewartak]

As someone who has dealt with narcissistic issues from a parent I can relate to what you guys are going through so much! It gets better as time goes by. It’s completely ok to distance yourself from the issue to do what’s best for you and yours.

[@paulinewhite4771]

I feel as long as the grandparents sees and visit the grandkids thats important . Love and hugs to everyone

[@Alicenjp26]

Omg I love you guys!💕I’m happy you both decided to start a podcast. I’ve been watching LPBW since it started. I just want to say that I agree with you both with the decision to have space from your father. Parents raise their children to live their own life and raise their own family and if the grandparents or grandparent is toxic it’s okay to move away. I moved 2 hrs away from my parents and only see them once every 6 months and it’s healthy for me and my own family because there is manipulation in their part. People like to say, “ but it’s your parents” it doesn’t matter, I’m going to do what’s best for my own family and life. I applaud you both for doing what’s best for your own family 💐💕

[@jackiemcadams8109]

[@mienafriggstad3360]

I completely agree with you

[@emp556]

I love that point you made Zack about the guilt you feel if you don't do the best as a parent. I think it makes you a great parent when you're even feel guilty. You both are awesome parents!

[@thisnthatmamma1617]

" be with dad" so sweet!! Happy belated Birthday Jackson. Sometimes you have to take a step back from a toxic relationship to creat healthy boundaries. I feel like when that relationship you're stepping back from is with a parent, it hits you harder. I personally had to step back from a relationship with a parent because it was affecting me so much emotionally it was impairing the type of parent i wanted to be. We step back in hopes to step forward on a better path with thst person.

My husband and I both got that nasty cough, but I was coughing so hard I was vomiting up phlegm. Went to Urgent Care, she said U had sinus infection and prescribed antibiotics which I had a really bad allergic reaction to. I was soooo sick from the antibiotics for about 10 hours.

Tori, you are not rude , in my opinion, just having a conversation with your husband the way you 2 do it. I adore your family and also hope for reconciliation. But it has to be on your terms. Don't let the pressure of "tomorrow isn't promised " influence a reunion that you're not ready for. Sometimes, it's best to love from afar. I love to see you all succeeding.

[@Beachgrl1717]

I definitely understand estrangement w/ family members. Due to abuse growing up, by the hands of my biological father (multiple types), I was estranged from him 15 yrs prior to his suicide, now from my mother who, it seems has blamed me for his abuse. So much ridiculous dysfunction I just want peace and a semblance of normalcy. I totally understand! Wishing you peace & happiness!

I have watched the show for years and have lots of respect, but I know from age and losing many people don't hold anger or hurt feelings when it comes to family. One day, you will regret it if your father gets sick or loses so much time with your children. You can't get that time back, Zack. Life is too short to hold grudges.

[@debodeeful]

I was widowed at 55 without warning. Its been 8 yrs now, and the insight I have from 32.4 yrs of being married to my soulmate, having 6 children, two in Heaven with their Daddy is a gift in and of itself. What I have learned through the ups and downs, being loved unconditionally, learning how to communicate with my beloved and three boys for the most part they do not mind the loving interruptions from their Mom or wives as it gives them time to sit back and think. My daughter and I are truly one another's best friend. Just as I was with my Momma. It amazes me how many couples I know, who have this kind of loving dialogue. Its real, unrehearsed. No one upping the other. This is real not reality tv folks. Let Tori be. Zac can stand on his own when he needs. He has such respect for his wife. The love between them is real, and if many of you were honest, you would realize if you are in sync with your beloved, many of you be honest and notices you my finish your beloves sentences. When my husband was on his last leg, we were so in sync, we literally spoke no words, conversing thru thought, though we both could speak, no verbal dialogue was needed. So stop with critiquing and listen to a REAL conversation between man and wife. Observe the love flowing between them with their eyes. Its a beautiful gift of love to witness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
