Nick doesn't need his own board, he streams so little that half the time this thread gets sidetracked on religious or movie talk or talk about butter dishes. For fucks sake do people realize most of our "nick" content so far this year is from nick appearing on other people's channels? STMS and now DSP. Nicky's managed to get sober enough on his own streams that they're now ethan ralph tier boring.
Nick tax: I wonder if the divorce arc will start once he dips below minimum wage for his streams.
the streams are just a hobby, the trust fund means none of nick's fuck ups will 'ffect the household financially.
He couldn't even do the absolute minimum even the worst lawyer in existence could do, which is just showing up.
That is what a complete failure this faggot is.
its such a weird thing to fuck up too, it feels like the last act of the movie where it shows how rock bottom things have gotten. there's no way in hell Nick didn't realize how important it was to his reputation and in the end he decided "fuck it" or better yet he was literally ready to appear in court all suited up with april but decided "we have 5 minutes, let's have a quick drink to loosen the nerves" then an hour later he goes "surely we have 10 more minutes before he reaches you in the docket" before ultimately arriving at the court after its already ended.
Which is... absolutely mind-blowing.
the result of Monty's lawsuit will cause this thread to surpass it. everyone will react, like how we had 100 pages of reactions to the sextape of ethan ralph.
the thread itself doesn't even move THAT fast most days.
I'd say the thread has been moving at a snails pace this year, to the point where we should retitle it a Nick & friends thread considering how much time has been spent talking about Aaron and April so far. Nick's such a non-entity we're covering other lolcows in his own fucking thread
Nobody speaks of him with reverence anymore.
Tarentino does, but he also fucked off to israel and mostly left hollywood once he found out how hard it is to do anything without Harvey doing the heavy lifting. But you're still right. if Nick genuinely helped the other lawtube creators or at minimum paid them for their guest appearances he'd probably still have some coming back. Ari Shaffir got away with saying some of the worst shit about a rather famous black dude because Ari was paying people for over a decade to do his podcast when no one else in the industry did (and most still don't) so he still has a free pass, even from people he beat the shit out of.
. But the best he can hope for is the level of redemption that Warski has accomplished
not to shit on andy but he was always "sidekick" material even during his "height" if he didn't go crazy he'd just be miserable and hanging out with a guy who probably murdered his wife. Warski has failed to be a solo act for over a decade and a half now, honestly Andy would be better off speaking a quarter as much as he does now. he's the producer and needs to act like it instead of the co-host. people loved Surfer because he was the butler.
It came off as a reaction of “no fuck you this is my cow, read the ear tag, do not touch” followed by a 15 minute long “improv” segment where he talked about him getting out of a speeding ticket and then banning (“banning”?) anyone in chyat who didn’t like his story.
thats exactly what it was, Mike David of redbar fame literally stole all of Patrick's biggest lolcows and thats what really got Mike started on his "fools watch" era and is why he went from being a starving 130 pounds begging his viewers for money to buy food, to literally having a teenage wife and a car and a house and a studio and enough money to give some away to live viewers every show.
Patrick was doing amazing up until 2016, one of the top comedy podcasts and any time he ventured into anything else he would end up the top podcast in that category too like bitcoin or even law. You're also getting the a-log direction wrong. Aaron tried to go after Patrick and didn't realize that even a hasbeen like Patrick is still better than him and fucked him into the dirt. Patrick did so well that Mike decided to declare Patrick off limits in terms of harassment, which is a fucking amazing reprieve.
and yes, since the beginning 20 years ago Patrick was extremely territorial with his lolcows and also spoony levels of ban happy. the best way to avoid alogs is to ban any dissident in the first place, although it does lead to being a hasbeen very quick if the tide turns against you.
Patrick was in the top 200 podcasts on itunes a decade ago in the comedy category. And was rubbing elbows with every comedian you could name, Marc Maron and Bill Burr were having him do the audio work early on. He has a few appearances on shows too IIRC, but all it took was someone taking over his format and going after him like aaron tried to, to turn him into a Mundane Matt-esque loser delivery man
