What either of them does during the days is a bit of a mystery. Nick doesn't cook for himself, claims he doesn't watch online podcasts or livestreams (a claim he made during the Isom grave visiting arc, contradicted entirely by the fact he would text @Null corrections to read live during Mad at the Internet (the internet never forgets, Nick)), if they homeschool their children then Nick has already admitted they condense "4 hour lectures" into "90 mins" for them, so all that's left is supposedly playing chauffeur (because hiring a sober person without narcolepsy to drive your children around as a millionaire is out of the question).
Jeez, no wonder he hates his life. He's either too unimaginative or too lazy to do anything valuable with his time besides drink at home and mope around about how awesome his life could be without all those little burdens weighing him down.
Besides the eternal mystery of what occupies the couple's daytime hours, there's also the fact that Nick continually alludes to unspecified stressors at the beginning of his streams in a "OMG, what a day/week" fashion.
Nick's resilience and coping abilities have plummeted, but surely there's still some unknown factor nagging at him beyond malding at KF and recovering from yesterday's bender.
It seems to me there is no consistent set meal times they have as a family. Would not be surprise me if the kids eat 1 meal a day and the rest is supplemented with snacks, junk food.
Back in either the Rittenhouse or Depp "12-16 hour days", Nick would frequently talk about having to end the daystream around 5-6 pm CST in order to go cook dinner for his family. Or would sometimes discuss what he had cooked for them upon firing up his nightstream at 11 pm CST.
I remember it in particular because:
a) it seemed late for a family with young children to be STARTING to the process of cooking dinner and
b) why would a streamer running a "multimillion dollar enterprise" have to interrupt his golden goose revenue stream to cook dinner for his stay-at-home wife?
One of few positive things that I have come across from Rekieta is him recommending this YT channel called
Sip and Feast. This guy's cooking channel is quite wholesome where the entire family participates in the videos some times. It's too bad Nick no longer has that same image.
I went to subscribe to your link only to have forgotten that I subscribed to the channel a month ago after watching them make Shepherd's Pie.

So I'm guessing they have time slots and some of the current people will leave so there aren't too many people on at the same time.
I would be very surprised if there was any formal scheduling of timeslots on Hunley's show.
As
@Potatoherder researched upthread, Hunley's show seems like a 60-90 min show where practising lawyer can drop in over their Friday lunch hours.
I've seen the host Eric start to panic that he needs to shut things down when the show passes the one hour mark.
Yep. And he still isn't there; the stream is 93 minutes in. Me thinks his panties are still in a bunch and won't bring himself to fraternize with Potentially Criminal (Sean) after such affronts have been meted out on his ego.
I'm sure I've mentioned it before in this thread, but Hunley's show is how I discovered Rekieta after discovering the panel on account of Viva.
IIRC, the panel was empathizing and strategizing after Hunley's main channel had been permanently deleted somehow earlier that day. I noted at the time that the other panelists seemed to give Nick a lot of reverence despite the fact that he looked like a dorky nobody.
Might I posit that him pulling up could be the funniest arc of all? After all of this, after potentially losing friends and family, he pulls up. He's back! But no longer has the winemoms, the weebs, the norms, the coomers, he has no audience. Sure, a few stick around, but not enough to mean anything. Left only with a question: Was pulling up worth it? As he is firmly planted in obscurity.
I think it's the kind of poetic ending that a creative literature fag would appreciate. One could convince someone that this would be the greatest show of all. Real art-house shit.
I think the problem with any sobriety/redemption arc is that Nick's remaining/new audience would shower new Nick with positive affirmation re: his addiction and recovery, which just feeds the narcissistic beast in a positive feedback loop all over again.
