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.
Seeing a lot of speculation on Nick's meds and I think I found the stream where most of Nick's narcolepsy medication information came from: an old Christmas stream from December 2022. From around 1:10:30, Nick and Dani spend 20 minutes talking about narcolepsy, ADD and effective medications while Runkle paints plaques in the background because he's a NERD.
(Also fun: Dani telling Nick she thinks she was misdiagnosed with mono as a teenager when it was actually narcolepsy because her whole family, too, also has narcolepsy.)
The biggest discrepancy is with regards to the effects of Adderall.
Nick's narcolepsy diagnosis origin story is that he was late for work at the bank one day because a man "just wouldn't jump" off the bridge. He got to work five minutes late and missed the weekly sales meeting. His manager - Circle K because she's FAT - had a word with him and he yawned during the conversation. She asked if she was boring him and he told her he was just tired, he was always tired. She told him he should go see a doctor then and he asked for the next day off. So she gave him the next day off and he got an emergency appointment.
Nick previously said Ritalin was the first drug they gave him but his family has a "history of heart disease" and Ritalin had adverse effects so it's "not viable". Dani takes Ritalin for ADD but thinks she has developed heart problems, says she's worried about all the lawyers dying from heart attacks, Runkle says "a number of those were cocaine".
Nick previously said he loves Provigil/modafinil. He described it as "cocaine that lasts 12 hours" and said he "loves it" but had "addiction signs" for it, so he'd only take it to drive to Florida to see his parents. Nuvigil/armodafinil however made him "want to kill someone". Today he says he only takes modafinil for long streams and mocked the idea that he shouldn't be prescribed stimulants.
He previously said Adderall caused him to collapse and fall into a deep sleep. The doctor's response was "do not ever take that again". Today he says he has a low prescription for treating "spot fatigue" and it "mildly keeps him awake". And yes, you can get low-dose, fast-acting stimulants prescribed alongside slow-release stimulants for narcolepsy to use like a booster tablet.
Nick said he was "scared of meth". He said he had acquaintances who had gotten into it and it "changed who they were". Runkle reveals he was prescribed medical meth (Desoxyn) to treat his ADHD and it was the best treatment but he had to stop taking it because of regulations.
In an interesting detour, Nick mentions kratom. He said he hates it and it "tastes like Swamp Thing's semen". According to Wikipedia, "At low doses, kratom produces euphoric effects comparable to those of coca [cocaine plant]. At higher doses, kratom produces opioid-like effects."
Kratom and it's active ingredients (mitragynine) are legal to obtain in most states, sold as supplements and legal highs. Overdosing can result in "the wobbles" - involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) sometimes accompanied by feelings of vertigo or tremors but most people throw up when it gets too bad. It only shows on tests that look specifically for mitragynine and it stays in urine for a few days.
WebMD links it with seizures when combined with modafinil so let's hope this is just a informative moment where I learnt about Kratom, which users say is a safe alternative to prescribed opiates but also highly addictive with morphine-like withdrawals.
(Coincidentally, PPP and Andy mentioned Kratom/7-Oh in their coverage of Mersh's interview with Ethan Ralph the other day. They call it "gas station opioids".)
Nick takes several bathroom breaks during the recent trial stream, which he buffers with excuses about his frequent need to pee and his bladder. He blames a "bucket" of lemonade, Monster and his modafinil, which I don't think is a documented side effect. Nick's pretty good at telling on himself so it makes me think his excuses might be covering for something outside of the usual stimulant/nitrous break. Could he be drinking so much to try and remove something from his system?
Ritalin, Cocaine and Heart Disease
2022 Nick
1:17:16: "Ritalin is what they put me on at first but I have a history of heart disease in my family so Ritalin's not viable." "I would take Ritalin and drive to Texas to visit family and when I get there my forearms would be pulled because I'd be gripping the steering wheel so hard and I could feel my heartbeat."
1:23:50: "Ritalin is so nasty. Ritalin is for junior high kids to snort."
1:21:30: Dani: "I'm terrified that my heart's just gonna like- I've heard of so many attorneys, especially litigation attorneys, who just die, like they just go to lunch and they're dead."
Runkle: "Yeah, a number of those were cocaine."
Provigil/Modafinil (and Nuvigil/Armodafinil)
Provigil is the brand name for Modafinil.
Nuvigil is the brand name for Armodafinil. 2022 Nick
1:17:54: "Provigil is the - I try not to take it cause I like it so much - Provigil is a miracle drug." "Provigil is like cocaine that lasts 12 hours. It's fantastic."
1:18:20: "I love Provigil. I love it, so I don't take it." "I don't take it very often unless I'm driving to Florida to go visit my parents, I take it then. But other than that I don't take it because I like it too much, I know, like, I know my addiction signs and I have addiction signs for Provigil so I don't take it."
1:20:15: "I can't take Nuvigil." " I was on the brink of mur-like literal murder." "I told my wife I'm like I need to never take this again because I will kill someone tomorrow." 2025 Nick
3:34:50: "I only have one that I take daily and I only take it really on these early streaming days. It's uh my Pro Vigil."
3:28:50: "Man, I fucking hate Provigil, I have to piss like crazy."
Adderall 2022 Nick
1:21:56: "Adderall for me, they had me try Adderall, I fell unconscious." "...I fell into my recliner and she couldn't wake me up for like three hours. My doctor's like do not ever take that again." 2025 Nick
1:50:12: "First of all Adderall, I've never had Adderall do anything more than, uh, just mildly keep me awake."
Meth
2022
1:27:55: "I'm scared of meth." "I have relatives and friends or like acquaintances - I
shouldn't say friends - who have gotten into meth and it is so nasty what is does to them, it changes who they are."
Kratom
2022
Around 1:28:56 Nick interrupts Runkle's warning about when people start to make a little too much money and decide to dabble in drugs with a diatribe about Kratom:
"Kratom's gross. Don't you Kratom me in the chat. I tried Kratom a couple times and I was like - I hate it. It's like drinking Swamp Things semen. No, it's disgusting. Also it makes you feel like, oh, I fucking hate how, I hate Kratom. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it."
1:15:36: "I sleep like a champion, I have narcolepsy." "I lay down, I go to sleep for 8 straight hours."
A person with narcolepsy finds it very easy to fall asleep but they don't find it easy to sleep well for extended periods of time because their sleep cycle likes to bounce into REM a lot more than usual and that leads to a lot of restlessness. You don't sleep straight through for 8 hours, like a champion.
Nick remembers his sleep latency times exactly but doesn't mention REM latency. Short sleep latency without quick REM onset is idiopathic hypersomnia.
He scores a 28 out of 30 on a test that only goes to 24. The questions ask you how likely you are to fall asleep during certain activities including waiting at a stop sign and sitting talking to someone. It's called the Epworth Sleepiness Test. If we give him benefit of the doubt and just assume he misremembers the numbers or that perhaps there were 30 scoreable points on Nick's questionnaire that would mean he's likely scoring a 2 or 3 for likeliness to fall asleep at a traffic light, which means Nick shouldn't be driving without taking his medication. He should be taking it almost everyday because as we've established, Nick spends hours a day just driving his children around and taking trips to Minneapolis.
Nick talks about how everyone on his mother's side probably has narcolepsy but the genetic link in type 2 narcolepsy isn't as concrete as type 1.
Melton is no longer a CEO or officer or whatever he was for Supertips, though the emails still go to him. He is now forwarding them onto the new law firm.
They (Melton and Moody) have hired a serious law firm to adjudicate the issues of peoples' voices being used.
This law firm is gleeful to have the case bc they think the case is fun, as well as their clients.
They have already changed their TOS (I have not fact checked this) to suit whatever fuckery is going on.
You have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in your Contributions to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person to enable inclusion and use of your Contributions in any manner contemplated by the Services and these Legal Terms.
I suppose he could make a technical claim that people are free to use AI generated voices in the absence of name or likeness. Or that he is going to legally fight to use AI generated voices alone. Parody images and low-quality AI voices get it closer to legally plausible content. But at the cost of most of what the value of the service was to its users.
And as of the time of this post, everything at the site is associated with, written as or going to Melton. That includes emails, postal address and phone number. That includes the TOS and the privacy policy. There is nothing whatsoever to indicate that another company/person is running the site or the service.
I watched about 20 minutes of it before giving up out of sheer irritation. Unrelated to your post about Aaron/polycule, this is what I caught about Supertips:

Inhalants; the more knowledgeable types are pointing towards the stuff that lowers your voice and what-not. Not discounting that, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't abusing any sort of prescription medication he has either.
Nick previously said Ritalin was the first drug they gave him but his family has a "history of heart disease" and Ritalin had adverse effects so it's "not viable".
yeah late but I actually tuned into Nicks stream a couple hours ago, and that was comedy? The drunk guy I see at the bar has better jokes than recycled 4chan posts and barely disguised fetishes
Abusing Adderall / Modafinil to sustain his lifestyle while suffering from unironic PTSD, the guy is rapidly sleep debt'ing himself into a nervous breakdown.
It's going to end like Kanye West's The Life of Pablo tour where he had a exhaustion-induced psychotic break.
If he doesn't actually get the body cam footage after all the clues hes dropped, he should have to pay Ralph $5000 dollars so we can at least watch the gunt overdose on Mexican Xanax and hookers. Kind of owes us atp considering on livestream he declared Ralphie the loser of the bet.
It just occurred to me that both Rendazza and Barnes are based out of Vegas. I could see both of them liking this "free speech" issue, particularly Barnes, due to Rumble associations.
