I am receiving an error when I start terminal

I am on a MacBook Pro, 13", Mid-2012. Currently running Catalina 10.15.1

Every time I start the Terminal, it pauses for about five seconds and spits out an error.

This is the order it happens:

Open Terminal, this appears:

Last login: Sun Nov 10 20:21:54 on ttys000

Five second pause, this appears:

(eval):1: parse error near `)'

myname@Mynames-MacBook-Pro ~ %

This has been happening since I updated to the Catalina beta back when it first released. Someone else said to check my zsh profile for junk. I believe I did what they said but I'm not even sure what the 'junk' could be.

Does anyone have any advice for me?

From your question, this message seems generated from the profile or "start up script". Then you can check them for any coding / grammar / format errors, including /etc/profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc or so on.
