Anybody who has come into contact with someone whose life is falling apart as a result of substance abuse will have sat through a self-aggrandizing, divorced from reality, lecture similar to the one that a visibly wasted Rekieta delivers to Eric July.
Nick's origin from a wholesome background makes the spectacle of his soul being consumed by Internet fame more disturbing than say Ralph, who was always going to make the most felt-worthy play with a bad hand of cards.. If you showed this clip to 2018 Nick, he would be horrified by how far he had fallen. He has further to go too. He is nowhere near rock bottom, but he'll get there if he doesn't change his ways. This guy must still have a few real life friends who aren't scumbags. Now would be the time to steer him towards rehab.
