Nicholas Robert Rekieta / Rekieta "Law" / Actually Criminal / @NickRekieta - Polysubstance enthusiast, "Lawtuber" turned Dabbleverse streamer, swinger, "whitebread ass nigga", snuffs animals for fun, visits 🇯🇲 BBC resorts. Legally a cuckold who lost his license to practice law. Wife's bod worth $50. The normies even know.

I think Balldoman has said he never really was into anime- like a lot of things in Nick's life, it's just ironic grift. The only series he seemed to have watched in the last 5 years was Redo of Healer? A meme series in its own right. Maybe there were some others but nothing else stuck.

As for other interests, I don't think he has the depth of knowledge to speak on 40k, as compared to some of the existing lore channels. I know Manning disagrees on the 40k, but my feel is Rackets' interests are like his careers, he hops from one to another without ever becoming an expert or putting in the time.

He does the bare minimum of involvement on a hobby to get audience engagement.

It shows when he interacts with people that have a far deeper knowledge base, and an actual interest on a specific subject like with Fuddbusters on guns or even cars.

Other Lawtubers have hobbies and could rattle off information and talk about their non-cum based sources of entertainment for hours on end, and some demonstrate their enjoyments on streams.

E-Fame really fucks you up, congrats on LCotY

 

[Neetorino]

She came back from a trip to Hawaii in a skin tight dress and did him for his 21st birthday while a roommate was across the room

Wait, let's not let this one pass by, because I'm not familiar with that story. Do we know who had the idea to fuck with the roommate around? This might be a good bit of insight into who was into the exhibitionism (or thrill of being caught at least) first, assuming it's not both of them. Also how old were they when they got married? Because as I recall they were virgins before getting hitched but that could just be an assumption on my end, as them being eachother's first doesn't necessarily mean they waited for marriage.

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

Honestly, not that much, I don't think. If any. Not on the Farms. That seems to have died out in early 2023.

I think the issue is a lot of people still don't know the scope of Nick's descent into madness. There seems to be general agreement the OP is badly in need of update. @Himedall All-seeing Waifu is working on it.

Then again, there's also people who seem to think an idiot with a gambling addiction punching drywall is the height of comedy.

There's really no accounting for taste sometimes.


The patrician choice won. Good.

I am proud of all of you in this thread.

Yes, drive the knife deeper on me and my procrastinating ways... lol!

There is actually a thread up right now with a lot of people asking why he won LOTY, and that has convinced me more than ever to really buckle down and try to get my outline out.

I will set a tentative goal of the next 10 days. Nock me if I miss it. Negative reinforcement works wonders and should be employed more.

What happened to Nick’s voice over 2024? Is it the Chris Chan Demon starting to gain more control over him and the voice taking over?

Alcoholism and drugs coupled with unhealthy living and diet.

Crowder's contract was certainly unique, as they use Locals for his Mug Club, but none (or very little) of the Locals branding is on it. Most of the other Rumble streamers seem to follow a similar set up to Viva's or Nick's (Youtube cutoff, Rumble stream, locals content at a specified time), at least to customers and viewers. Actual details? I could only assume, but most companies would give "talent" the same contract, with some blanks to fill in specifics, ala Twitch.

Details we know are:

-YT to Rumble switch against ~1 hour mark (which he did badly and sometimes not at all)

-An unspecified number of LOCALS post-stream shows

-Required 14 per month Rumble/YT streams (missed a few months of the year as proven by @Balldo's Gate spreadsheet)

- Supposed 7 figure (by Nick's report) contract

 

[Chirping Smoke Detector]

However, the degeneracy now might be driven by thr fact that he feels resentful that he 'settled' for Kayla--a woman from poor means.

I thought the lore on Kayla was that her family was well off. Not as rich as the Rekietas but she didn't come from "poor means".

Then again, there's also people who seem to think an idiot with a gambling addiction punching drywall is the height of comedy.

Just to defend bossmanjack for a bit. I don't think anyone watching thinks him punching holes is the height of comedy, but it is funny. The appeal of bossman is you get entertainment very quick. He can fire up a stream, have $100 ready to go and get felted in 2 minutes and rage and slam his headphones on the floor. Rekieta is the slow burn of lolcows, bmj is bursts of cowdom. Both are entertaining just in different ways.

Because as I recall they were virgins before getting hitched but that could just be an assumption on my end, as them being eachother's first doesn't necessarily mean they waited for marriage.

I think the lore on this has changed. Nick has been consistent that Kayla was his first. I think it's changed whether or not he was her first.

 

[Evilronald]

Nick’s on drugs? What is he taking? I’m guessing this means he’s not exactly making good long term financial decisions either and will end up living in a tiny apartment while his kids are with his wife elsewhere?

[Scout Trooper]

He's not reliable in and of himself, yeah, but that's why I made a point of only basing my opinions off things she's said and done herself in that post; to me her own words and actions indict her more severely than anything he's ever said about her.

Agreed.

The mention of the CBD MLM made me go look up that stream.

She is really uncomfortable for me to watch because of her exaggerated facial expressions and pressured speech affect.
When she talks, she talks with a clenched jaw and gritting her teeth like someone would do if they were angry or on stimulants and her eyes are bouncing all over the place.

She mentions having Restless Leg Syndrome which has a high correlation with affective (mood) disorders and depression.

https://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.neuropsych.15030055#:~:text=RLS%20is%20typically%20associated%20with%20insomnia%20and%20sometimes%20with%20daytime%20sleepiness.&text=Several%20studies%2C%20which%20were%20often,disorders%20among%20patients%20with%20RLS.

Not that any of that is her fault, but it does provide a little insight into how she might be functioning in the relationship and as a parent.

I had a “friend” who was like that, he was also from a fairly well off family like Nick. He was a perpetual tourist, if you showed an interest in anything around him the next day he would have a cursory knowledge about it and some related purchases to bandy about. If you liked a game, he would rent or buy it immediately, if you smoked weed with him he would go out and buy a glass piece and get some weed from his brother, liked a band around him he would buy a shirt and burn a bunch of their CDs, it was exhausting to put up with. He was like a living subreddit before that existed. Whatever you liked he would suddenly be “so totally about that”. The one thing he liked because of his own interests was capeshit, he was a big Marvel fag and put Marvel magnets on his car. He had a car when most of his “friends” didn’t so they tolerated this cringe. When I met him and saw all the lame Marvel magnets on his car I mocked him by calling him Magneto, which he also embraced. Money cannot buy a personality but posers like Nick will never stop trying to buy legitimacy.

 

[Chief Ungo Bungo]

Nick's parents. They probably covered the basic necessities--or made up shortfalls. I know someone who fell on hard times, and their parents ended up helping them pay for groceries and utilities. I could tell it really bothered the man to have to go to his parents every month, and he stopped as soon as he could get back on his feet.

Perhaps something similar nursed resentment in Nick?

I think that Nick living in poverty is a lie, in one of two manners.
1) Nick is just blatantly lying about having money issues, his mummy and daddy gave him a blank check whilst he was studying his (multiple) degrees. Nick wants to paint himself as a self-made man so that he is that much more righteous to look down on the ordinary plebs for not living his lifestyle and "fucking in hot tubs". Pretty similar to his larp about growing up in the only part of Texas to still exist in the Jim Crow era and how it was a real struggle on dem streets mayn.

2) Nick did have financial restricitons during his time at college, but they are completely overblown. Poor little Nick might not've been able to buy a $50 bottle of Whisky every single day, or he may not have been able to buy every single warhammer model or unit that he wanted in a month. Far from poverty in the eyes of a rational human being, living in the gutter for our silver spoon princess Nick.
--------
I'll use this post about Nick and education to bring up two thing he said in his rant about Hawking. Hawking is a chomo bastard but that doesn't mean Nick is correct.
"Lots of people have way more than two doctorates" - Patently false and mind boggling. A PhD takes about 8-9 years to earn in the UK, starting as an undergrad, doing a masters and then the PhD itself, clearly a major investment of time and effort, regardless of what field you work in. As these concepts are anathema to The Balldo, he wants to diminish their importance and any rewards one can gain from their application.

The second point is when he is ranting about Hawking writing about Human interaction. There's so much to unpack there but I'll focus on his hypocrisy. Nick describes how Hawking is unfit to talk about human interaction because he is a "rich, elite, over-educated, academic", as he lounges in his hot tub. Needless to say, any points about the first two adjectives are self apparent if you have a passing familiarity with Nick.

"Over-educated" - Nick has at least two degrees and is a (Non-Practising) lawyer, a profession that has always been regarded as being very prestigious due to the academic rigour that is associated with gaining the right to study, let alone qualify, as a lawyer.

"Academic" - This is partially Nick trying to paint himself as the common man, railing against an out of touch elite, and partially a cope because Nick's own academic career is littered with failure and underachievement because he had no drive to suceed, becuase, at the end of the day, mummy and daddy could always just afford to bail him out and pay for his kids.

 

[Strix454]

Does Rumble offer boilerplate contracts similar to Twitch's partner program or are they only signing hand-picked talent? I think it's clear that Rumble is letting Nick's premium contract lapse if they haven't even scheduled a meeting with him over a week after it expired (as platform deals are normally agreed upon in advance) and I'm anticipating how he'll downplay getting demoted to cattle class (figuratively and literally). He seemed to derive a big ego boost from feeling like he was sitting at the same table as Steven Crowder

They seem to sign hand-picked talent for the most part. But they have a range of contracts which go from someone like Crowder at the very top to Mersh (Revenge of the Cis) at the very bottom. Rumble would have signed Nick based on his streaming numbers from 2022, his superchat revenue on youtube and a perception of him as having a unique format (talking about the law) where he was a top streamer.

But all Nick's metrics have collapsed and they would have to be very disappointed with him. In particular that he brings in little to no superchats now. His abandoning talking about law in favor of talking mostly about himself also would I think not be viewed positively.

I also heard something secondhand or thirdhand that Rumble also was in no hurry to renew Mersh's contract either. Mersh has gotten to the point where he is pretending to have strokes or actually having strokes during streams for attention. That may be a good direction for Nick to go this year.

I assume that Nick will pretend that he still has a seven figure contract with Rumble even after his deal is either downgraded or not renewed at all. It will be the same as all his copes around losing the superchat money and his declining viewership. He will either pretend its not happening or invent some story about how he never cared about any of it in the first place.

Pouring. Booze. Into my ass. Is not. Drinking. Prudes.

Who the fuck cares whether it is even "catfishing," even though it obviously is. He still made an absolutely ridiculous fool of himself and got completely duped by a retard who is probably as smooth-brained as he is.

Exactly. Everyone involved should be ashamed that they spent years believing every word of a stranger's anonymous internet comments.
"There's this mechanic, Mandy, who's also a videogame expert and a hot cosplay woman and she knows all about lawyer stuff and she's hot!"
"Really? How do you know all that?"

[Belgians in the Congo]

I believe that I have seen old films set in the US where there were large picnics with 5 or more families where children ran amok and were generally watched by the assembled adults. This might be large pool of childcare that the OP is referring to.

Is this not a thing where you live????

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

Wait, let's not let this one pass by, because I'm not familiar with that story. Do we know who had the idea to fuck with the roommate around? This might be a good bit of insight into who was into the exhibitionism (or thrill of being caught at least) first, assuming it's not both of them. Also how old were they when they got married? Because as I recall they were virgins before getting hitched but that could just be an assumption on my end, as them being eachother's first doesn't necessarily mean they waited for marriage.

The story has shifted (like Drexel's grooming story target age). At the first it was:
[Paraphrased]

'We were both virgins and waited until marriage. I love her now MORE than then. When I think back to how she looked in this stunning blue dress, my brain replaces the image of how she looks now into the memory becuase she is more attractive'

Eventually it became:
[Paraphrased]

'Men want virgins, but why? Would you turn down a 10 with a body count of 3-5? My wife was my first. I remember her coming into my room at uni after coming back from Hawaii on my 21st birthday in a skintight blue wrap dress that showed off every curve. I was in bed--two actually pushed together--and my mate was sleeping on the other side of the room. She climbed on top and straddled me then... [fade to black],

It could have been the 'Virgin' angle was for thr weeb audience who were sexually frustrated or more innocent. Maybe it was the religious crowd? Maybe it no longer fit with his degenerate desires.

Spoiler: Gay Feels Talk

Not to PL too much, but I know I found the corruption of that previously wholesome story about loving your partner more as they age partially emotionally distressing.

I know thid is gay and cloying sentimentality

I thought the lore on Kayla was that her family was well off. Not as rich as the Rekietas but she didn't come from "poor means".

Just to defend bossmanjack for a bit. I don't think anyone watching thinks him punching holes is the height of comedy, but it is funny. The appeal of bossman is you get entertainment very quick. He can fire up a stream, have $100 ready to go and get felted in 2 minutes and rage and slam his headphones on the floor. Rekieta is the slow burn of lolcows, bmj is bursts of cowdom. Both are entertaining just in different ways.

I think the lore on this has changed. Nick has been consistent that Kayla was his first. I think it's changed whether or not he was her first.

See above for lore on Balldo's Virginia status, but I always assumed that her family was very middle-class Midwestern. Very average, and itnormal for most blokes to settle down and taise a family with this kind of woman. Not well-to-do at all with parents who would want to see her 'marry well' for the sake of reputation and fortune--she can marry for love as long as he can keep her and is not a tosser.

What has changed and is abnormal is Nick's desire and perspective. He started showing signs when he talked about how sex for rich people is different. A man invited a woman to dinner, then shows up at the door and asks if they are fucking before or after dinner. According to Nick this is totally normal, and now that he has wealth and some minor celebrity, he wants to partake.

This is why he wants to hang around strippers, porn stars, and go to clubs--he wants to live that rich playboy fantasy, but no matter how many 10's he talks to, his wife reminds him he cannot indulge freely. He is retroactively regretting that he did not have the ability to do this when he was younger.

It is a dangerous trap because in these kinds of hypotheticals you assume you have your current level of knowledge and would not be as much of an idiot as you probably were back then. It is something that could never be becuase the intervening years have changed tou more than you realise.

 

[Mourning_Cloak]

I would still classify Kayla as an enigma in my database, but despite us knowing so little about her I just can't believe the "actually Kayla is pushing the degeneracy" angle.

Mainly this is because he's been so damn brazen about it, shown so little balking or restraint.

Regardless, I agree that no matter what, neither of them should use the faults of the other as an excuse to neglect the kids. "Oh no my husband has brainwashed me into thinning I can't leave and he's pressuring me incuckoldry, I'm gonna drown my sorrows in Vodka all day instead of spending time with the kids." Yeah sorry Kayla, no

Looking forward to the coping and seething about the Lolcow of the Year award whenever we get a stream.

first major appearance on his show

The show you’re talking about was her second appearance & the one below, from May 2019 (six months previous to the second appearance) was her first. Mentioning this not because such a detail matters but to compare the two videos against each other & the final post below puts it best.

Not that any of that is her fault, but it does provide a little insight into how she might be functioning in the relationship and as a parent.

Kayla’s looks, mannerisms, facial expression & whole personality are dramatically different when comparing her appearance on Nick’s show in May 2019 to November 2019. And in the November 2019 show is when she goes on about the psych meds she’s taking. Seems very possible if not probable, that one or a combo of the meds caused a huge shift in her personality & not necessarily for the better. Long term, who knows what effects it has caused.

I think previous posters have had it right in speculating that Nick is the driver of the degeneracy & that Kayla is so desperate for attention & approval from Nick that she follows his lead.

Kayla is a remarkably stupid woman. Almost borderline legitimately retarded at times.
Also, everything about her is incredibly obnoxious. She & Nick deserve each other.
