There's something about someone who acquires these levels of wealth and then squanders it on trying to get their dick hard that's far more pathetic than any impoverished person's lifestyle. You proved that even if you have success, you're so rotten to the core of your personhood that you can't capitalize on it in any meaningful manner. You buy drugs, booze, sex, "vacations" so as to buy even more drugs and booze and sex, and expensive versions of shit you already own like luxury vehicles or "art." No investing in your current self, no investing in your future, no investing in your children or wife or business. Lurid base gratifications for 1,000x the cost to assuage the ego that the money blown is worth it.

But we don't know what it's like to be a closeted faggot who pretended to be a Christian father to lure retarded drunk women into paying him for attention.

It’s not just that. Heavily investing in transient pleasures of any kind always comes at the expense of a person’s relationships. This cost is especially invisible to those who lack empathy.

Because Nick will never be able to stop drinking or do any of the other work necessary to calibrate his values and ability to reason, he will never realize this. He’ll just wonder why his kids are complete fucking messes when “they wanted for nothing” (except a genuine connection with their parents, unimpeded by their primary concern for alcohol, drugs, shopping and/or attention from online strangers). He’ll tell everyone it’s inexplicable simply because he lacks the resources to understand.

Pretty grim stuff, but funnier when you consider that Nick fancies himself an expert on relationships.

 

[thebigdream]

In the middle of the 30 minute rant there was another tidbit that dropped. Nick confirmed that he has had disagreements with his wife over his rampant spending, saying:

"I will spend it, I will go on vacations, I will buy cars, I will buy things. I'll be like, 'Let's go buy art.'

She's like, 'Can we afford it?'

'Course we can girl, don't worry about it.'

She's like 'But, what about our kids?'

Like, our kids are fine. She's always thinking about someone else. She's always, to her own detriment."

EDIT: At the end of the clip he says how happy he is to help friends and family out financially because it makes Kayla happy, if you want an idea of how these disagreements go.

If your partner's response to anything you say is "but what about our kids?", the time to PULL UP was long ago.

I’m not married but I just know if I had a wife they’d really love it when I stream to all my fans repeat drunken rants about how pregnancy absolutely wrecked her body but that’s okay because I’m standing up for her. Granted her body was absolutely destroyed but babe look at how I talk about how I’m with you to all these people, also your body is ruined. That tight firm body just gone, but I’m still with you babe kisses!

*sips*

I hope your plastic surgery is worth a million bucks!

Very astute point, and Nick's already admitted this is manifesting when his wife resists his flippant spending. That apprehension she's supposedly feeling doesn't go away just because he overrides her concerns and spends the money anyways.

 

[Fools Idol]

The hallmark of a busy person isn't how much time they spend on something but how much they get done. If you spend a lot of time doing nothing of note then you have a productivity problem not a time one.

What Nick should be doing is treating streaming like a business. Every 4 hour drinking stream where he embarrass himself could be better spend preparing for these 16 hour work days, that way these monster work days might start to get more manageable and productive.

I'm sympathetic to the plight of a man with 5 kids, but Nick is using it as an excuse to not do any work. My parents had 5 kids too, even I have 3 and yes it's a lot but we still manage and we don't have nannies.

Remember kids, work smarter not harder.

edit. I've just thought of a good example of Nick ability to waste time and opportunity, when he got that Kyle Rittenhouse interview. Nick clearly spent zero effort on any kind of preparation for the stream and just got drunk. He embarrassed himself and fucked up a really good opportunity to make not just money but get some attention for his stream. It's not enough to just talk about a subject or even have a big name on your show, it has to be interesting to watch.

 

[waffle]

The problem with the plea of poverty in regard to the locals 5k grift gift is that it just lacks basic credibility. You can afford a 100k barely a sports car, the 80k navigator, 100k and counting on a vanity lawyer for hurt feelings litigation, an extravagant out of state vacation every six weeks, and two domestic helpers; but not a 60k business expense? All while your wife doesn't work?

You can fuck right off with that, nobody buys that for a second because it doesn't make a single bit of sense. Nick is just either too lazy to do it, or is a greedy jew who thinks he can just scam all the internet retards.

There’s that, yes. But I was specifically referring to how an addict’s relationships are all distorted and degraded by the addict’s primary focus on getting their next fix. Whether the addiction is a beverage, a drug, attention, or a behavior (eating, shopping, sex, gambling, hoarding, etc.), the addict is so consumed by the addiction that their loved ones and employer will just have to settle for crumbs.

Sorry, Kayla and Rekieta kids! Daddy has a date with whiskey, winemoms’ lewds and cars he has no idea how to drive.

Spoiler

I know an elderly lady who’s very accomplished, wise and beloved by everyone in her orbit. I was surprised when she told me that she has been a member of Gamblers Anonymous for 40 years and that it was there that she learned how to give up her addictions to alcohol, compulsive spending and cheating on her husband. She told me that “My life had become essentially one big gamble” that manifested through many different ways to avoid facing her demons. She said it even extended to constantly running late as she got a kick out of arriving in the nick of time after waiting till the last minute to get ready. I am reminded of her frequently while observing the degradation of various lolcows both online and IRL.

 

[Fools Idol]

I hate to go all tinfoil about it, but it sure sounds like the divorce alarm bells are starting to ring. Unless there is some kind of other information he's keeping secret like some sort of undisclosed illness, it's extremely odd for one hate dono to lead to a half hour straight of ranting about I LUB MAH WIFE! Especially with the little breadcrumbs of potential conflict over Nick's spendthrift nature the last year or so. The comment in the chat "I will never feel bad being late for a stream when I spend thast time being late with lady rackets" (thanks @Potatoherder for catching that) is also telling. It seems like laying it on thick.

I'm not going to show my ass and make predictions about the future like our boy Nick but I will say that happy couples don't need to "spice up the bed room".

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

I have been saying that since before page 100. He skated by previously on a combo of luck, timing, charisma, and timeslot. He seems to have run out of luck and good timing, and the gaslighting charisma only works until people see through your bullshit. That leaves him with the late night timeslot. More talented folk than Balldoman have failed at late night.

I never understood the Jager thing. It was really a marketing feat to get this drink for old men to take a shot of after dinner, from Germany, with a crucifix on the label, turned into a party drink for frat boys to drink copiously, even though it was originally marketed as a medicine and literally tastes like medicine, specifically the nasty-ass green Nyquil.

I get that it gets you fucked up but there are way more palatable ways of getting fucked up. Like bourbon. Which ironically is seeming like an old man drink these days too.

My theory is that it's a hit with the early 20s college crowd because it has a cloying cough syrup sweetness to it (apparently 2.6 grams of sugar per shot according to their website) that offsets the bite of its alcohol content. I prefer single malt scotch to most other things myself, but that's the old man spirit that's considered unpalatable by those who need everything to be sweet.

Yeah, the sweetness and herbal bullshit very easily mask the 70 proof and it's often served chilled below zero as well. Marketing definitely plays a part, but for the frat kid it's a lot more approachable than something with a proper alcohol burn.

Personally I don't mind Jäger because I really enjoy licorice, but I don't find it good enough to stock it in my cabinet.

A couple can be happy together and in love while still looking for ways to make intimacy more exciting. Men especially have a strong drive for novelty. I even heard Jordan Peterson discussing on Bill Maher’s podcast how an endless array of lingerie and other tactics have helped him and his wife to remain strongly attracted to one another for decades.

The issue with what Nick and Kayla are doing (which we know about because they have engaged in it and discussed it on stream) is breaching the nucleus of their intimacy to allow other people entry. I’m not even talking about literal swinging; even ‘just’ the flirtation and exchange of lewds with other people is a fucking idiotic and dangerous game to play with the most important relationship in your life.

And this isn’t speculation: Nick and Kayla did that shit on the internet, knowing full well they were being watched and recorded. If their marriage survives this bullshit it will be only by the grace of the God Whom Nick isn’t too sure about.

The man responsible for it was Sidney Frank. He was something of a genius in terms of psychology and promotion. The psychological hook he worked for Jager was that that it was so awful to drink that you had to be a total party badass to drink it. He did alot of giveaways and ground-level marketing at colleges. He also paid for alot of local press coverage in college towns to reinforce the psychological messaging. He was able to create an entirely false perception around Jager and with enough reinforcement it became real to the target market.

He pulled a similar trick years later with Grey Goose Vodka. The trick with Grey Goose was bringing it into the market at a high price and convincing people that it had to be better because it cost more. And because it was "French".

But the other thing about it him was that he was tied by marriage to a giant old-school mobbed up liquor distributor name Schenley Industries. He had inside connections into the sales and distribution system that almost nobody else had back then.

 

[Bowl of Ramen]

I hate licorice, but a thimbleful of Jäger has been a consistent sore throat and irritated gum remedy ‘round here. Sure as hell better than Crown Royal, which I still have childhood PTSD flashbacks to. Crown Royal is SO gross.

I would like to thank Nick for reminding me I haven’t had Culver’s in a while. Chili cheese fries FTW

 

[TherapyMan]

The psychological hook he worked for Jager was that that it was so awful to drink that you had to be a total party badass to drink it.

The thick, syrupy sweetness of Jager also makes it a good candidate to use as a shooter, either mixed or by itself, or diluted with another sweet drink as a bomb shot like the Jagerbomb. You get the instant impact of that powerful anise flavor and it goes down fairly smooth with minimal burn since it's so syrupy.

It's a natural party drink, really.

 

[Balldo's Gate]

Also, a stream review post on August 30th from Geared Chris paints Kayla in a different light:

It is likely that Kayla isn't so much responsible with money as she doesn't really trust Nick with it. Understandable given that Nick spends a lot of money on dumb stuff like his needlessly expensive lawsuit and frequent vacations that cut into his ability to make more money.

The way I see it is that they are fighting over each other's expenses.

A shed of miscellaneous crap sounds expensive until you consider that one of the paintings was speculated to cost as much as $70k based on the artist's website, and in any case they were in the five-figure range. One shed of crap equals one of Nick's crap paintings.

You could also probably do a garage sale and recover a decent chunk of the money used to stock the junk shed. Who is buying Nick's lawyer cat painting? The meme is what, three years old? Nick could lose a jug of milk on his messy counter and its value would depreciate at a lower rate than that thing.

The problem with the plea of poverty in regard to the locals 5k grift gift is that it just lacks basic credibility. You can afford a 100k barely a sports car, the 80k navigator, 100k and counting on a vanity lawyer for hurt feelings litigation, an extravagant out of state vacation every six weeks, and two domestic helpers; but not a 60k business expense? All while your wife doesn't work?

It seems to me as an outside observer is that the 5k Locals gift and the sex dungeon house expansion were both projects that fell to the wayside of Nick spending way more money than he's bringing in.

Note that in both cases he has muttered about not being able to go forward with them while the lawsuit is still happening, but also in both cases he has claimed that the manufacturers and contractors respectively have stopped responding to him and that's why he can't move forward on them. Why would that matter if they were being blocked by a lawsuit that is on track to drag all the way into 2025?

More tinfoily, it's possible that Kayla was the one who put her foot down on these wildly inflated expenses and told him he can't do them, and now he's making excuses.

I get that Nick made a promise, but let's get real here. It's fucking moronic to spend $50k on a gift to your fans when $200 a night is a good night in super chats. Maybe it made sense to Nick in a drunken haze where he thought he would be at 10k paying Locals subscribers in no time while still making $2k in super chats in a good night.

Imagine wasting all that money when most of the people on the list are former fans who in the best case don't care. Worst case there'll be videos on Twitter of people smashing their Rekieta Law novelty whiskey glass as a joke.

 

[AnOminous]

edit. I've just thought of a good example of Nick ability to waste time and opportunity, when he got that Kyle Rittenhouse interview. Nick clearly spent zero effort on any kind of preparation for the stream and just got drunk.

Worse, he actively disrespected the person he was interviewing and even conceivably fucked up his legal position in civil litigation, and then like an absolute retard threw in the moronic "balls or no balls" meme.

He completely lacks any ability to pick up on social cues. Isn't there a name for that?

Oh, yeah, autism.

If I'm going to drink "digestives" that were marketed as such just so grandpa could get slightly pissed without getting nagged I'd go with the superior one, Fernet.

 

[FuhrerMustang]

I'd be surprised if that happens. He's a well adjusted adult with a family, a steady career in a prestigious field and a nice youtube gig. He's also not socially inept and is used to stressful situations due to his profession. Even when faced with utter idiocy he seems, well, normal.

This aged poorly.
