WEBVTT - Nik Richie

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Hello, gorgeous. It is La La Kent with Randall.

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we are back.

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited for today today.

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 4>People I think are going to be really really shocked

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 4>in like the best way because we have one of

0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 4>my closest friends on and your friend Nick Ritchie.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Randa loves a good clap entrance.

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 4>All right, So before I bring Nick out, I just

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 4>want to say a couple of things. Nick is a entrepreneur,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.440
<v Speaker 4>very successful, has built big businesses, and he'll go into that.

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 4>And then also, there's a lot going on in the

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 4>media today with Nick that we've been reading about, and

0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 4>I really want to kind of get underneath the hood

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 4>and figure out what is going on there. I know

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot because we're friends, but I think people will

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 4>be shocked to hear Nick Is also told me law

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 4>that today is the last day he's going to talk

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 4>about what is going on the press forever. He's wow, Yeah,

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 4>that's it, Like this is it. He wants to put

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 4>it all on the table today here at our podcast,

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.040
<v Speaker 4>leave it out there, and that's it. So I commend

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 4>him for the bravery of coming out and talking about,

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, his feelings.

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 2>And what's going on in this family.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 4>Because people go through stuff all the time, but to

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 4>do it, you know, in a place like this, you know,

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.479
<v Speaker 4>take some bravery. So I'm interested to hear. So let's

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:27.000
<v Speaker 4>bring that up.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 3>What's up?

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Nick?

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey? Guys? How are you hey? Nick?

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Can I tell you Nick? His podcast? Do you remember you?

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Were the first podcast that I ever did?

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was James.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I was one of the tog podcasters before podcasting was

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>a thing. I invented podcasting.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you're also responsible for like why the Internet is

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the way the Internet is today.

0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I invented the internet as well. In all seriousness. Yeah,

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and it's crazy because I have been looking back at

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 2>my life over the past weeks and going into this

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 2>dark phase of trying to rediscover who I am because

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I was so lost over the last decade in family

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.079
<v Speaker 2>and marriage and whatnot. But yeah, I created that website,

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 2>the Dirty dot Com, which I'm not part of anymore.

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I sold it like four years ago, so.

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Real quick for people, because obviously if you've been living

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 4>under a rock you then don't know, but most people do,

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 4>just real quick in a snapshot. You started a site

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 4>called the Dirty dot Com? How many years ago? And

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 4>how did it start?

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Give us a summary, and then how did it become

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 4>so big? And then why did you step away?

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>In two thousand and six was the rise of reality TV.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Survivor was going The Apprentice, different reality shows, and I thought,

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, reality TV was so big, why has no

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 2>one thought of reality Internet? So my thing was I

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 2>was in Scottsdale, and at that time, Scottsdale was kind

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>of like the Dubai of America. I call it. It

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.079
<v Speaker 2>was just the hidden It was a hidden secret in

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the world, right. You know, everyone was gorgeous and the

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>women were beautiful in the cars, and everyone was a

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty K millionaire. You know, you had thirty thousand dollars,

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>you could be a millionaire in Scottsdale. Wow. So I

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>showcased it. I just cut it out there and it

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 2>went viral and it started Dirty scott Stile. I'm like, wow,

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>this works. Let me try Newport. I did Dirty Newport

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>and then I did Dallas in Chicago, and I'm like, wow,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>this is working everywhere.

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 4>And it just became it became global because you were

0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.639
<v Speaker 4>all over the world. You weren't just in it in

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 4>the US.

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>So I got up to about three hundred and fifty

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>three hundred and thirty three hundred and fifty markets Australia, Europe. Yeah,

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>so you're talking about a site that was generating about

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 2>ten million nieks a day.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 4>Wow, shit Holy at that time, by the way, at

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 4>the time, yeah, it was like the world was exploding on.

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Social media was just starting, you know, it was MySpace. Yeah,

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>in my space. Facebook was just starting to get legs.

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>And what I did was paved the way to open

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>up privacy. So when I was creating this site, it

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>was kind of like the Pandora's Box to Instagram and

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>opening up privacy where it just became not really a thing,

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>like public figures were the future, and everyone created their

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 2>own social media their Instagram, their Facebook or whatever, and

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>they were just like, Okay, screw it. The internet is

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>what it is, and it's going to open up my life.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 2>And people started becoming influencers and instant celebrities. So what

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I did was kind of the og of creating the

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Paris Hiltons in these sub markets, right, and it went viral,

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Like whoever I posted became famous overnight. You were on

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the dirty Your phone was blowing up in ten seconds. Crazy.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I so much had so much power, but when I

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 2>started it, I never wanted to be a public figure.

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, I got outed. Like when I started the site,

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>I was underground.

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 4>I was batman. No one knew who I was, right

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 4>because all you knew was a site. I never even

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 4>knew your name until you kind of came out at

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 4>some point.

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I got I got popped for a d UI.

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:10.000

<v Speaker 4>you did time in Arizona, you did it outside.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, But it was cool though, because I started my

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 2>own gang in the prisons, in the tense. I can't

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 2>this stuff. And I thought I didn't want to leave

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 2>ten City because I thought it was a dead man.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Walking because because you blasted it everybody everybody.

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.719
<v Speaker 2>And I was I had my own shield and I

<v Speaker 2>never wanted to be famous or be that guy. But

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>my mugshot went everywhere.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Hold on, don't you find that very like ironic. It's like, no,

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>this is what the Internet is. You're now going to

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>be Privacy doesn't exist except for me, right, I want

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 1>my privacy, but you're not allowed that.

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 4>But it's like a story that comes full circle now

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 4>because now you're out.

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>There, well you know, Randall, because the underground stories of

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>the submissions of what I would get were so scary. Yeah,

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>you know a lot of them were you know, you're

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.840
<v Speaker 2>taking out mafia people, you're taking out drug dealers, you're

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>taking out madams, you're taking out your political figures.

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 4>And you're taking out people with a lot of money

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 4>and a lot of influence. And that's dangerous, you know,

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 4>in that world that you were walking in. So I

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 4>have to think that did that come back to you

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 4>at all?

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>And of course it did. I got death threats, I

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 2>got people try to stab me. Wow, I've had I've

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 2>gone through all that stuff, right, guns in my face,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 2>like it's you know, wow. I made a pack to

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>myself that I would stay true to who the brand

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 2>is and who I was and what this was going

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>to be. And I was going to write it out

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>until I felt like I was too old and I

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>had a family, and I thought you know, hey, it's

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 2>it's time. But it was scary. I got sued, you know,

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>fifty times, one fifty times. Yeah, I know, I know

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 2>by the way.

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.840
<v Speaker 4>I know you did because I follow those cases at

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 4>times and I would talk to you about it and

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 4>you tell me, I'm flying out to hear whatever. Let

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 4>me ask you questions because now I want to move

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 4>into the next phase, which for me is like really

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 4>exciting to see. So you're you're at the height of

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 4>the dirty It's got all these clicks, it's making you know,

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 4>infinite money. What what's the day you decide to walk away? Why?

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 4>And then the transition, you know, how to the next

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 4>thing that you have going.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's kind of twofold because I retired and I

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>took like two years, two and a half years to

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 2>figure out who I was. And I always told myself,

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, I have forty I wanted to get out,

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and I got a couple of years earlier than that.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>But the reality was is that I just felt like

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I was in a phase where my heart was changing

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>because I had children. Okay, and that makes sense, and

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>once that happens, if I didn't have that same fight

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 2>and vigor that to basically call someone out on their bullshit.

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Then it was and it wasn't for me. So I

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>left and that was kind of pretty much it. And

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 2>then you know, obviously you know that that's not my

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 2>only thing that I do. That wasn't my money maker.

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>That was just my like, hey, go out, show face,

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>get laid to do my thing like that wasn't that

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>was never It was just a party for me. That's

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>what evolved into. And I look back on it now

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>and it just it killed my ego, Like my ego

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 2>got so out of control through that through that time, Yeah,

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>because because everything was free, right, you know, you got

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 2>flown everywhere, you got put up.

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Everybody just wanted to be around.

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine being a white tiger going to Vegas.

0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.280
<v Speaker 2>They're paying you twenty five thousand dollars to show up,

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.319
<v Speaker 2>drink for a couple hours, and they fly you home

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.959
<v Speaker 2>on a private jet, Like well, that's just that. That's crazy.

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 3>I can imagine it, and it sounds awesome. I'm picturing

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 3>it right now.

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 2>I wish somebody did.

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 4>I wish somebody would pay me to go anywhere five dollars,

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 4>I'll take it gets.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Old, It gets old, The wa get old, and that's

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>where that was my downfall, because I couldn't I couldn't

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.439
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed anymore. And that's how I met Onassis, who is

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 2>my ex wife, Shane Lamis. I met her in Vegas

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.199
<v Speaker 2>coming up. I was doing an appearance for Tao at

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Tau Beach and I brought sixteen of the hottest ace

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 2>U girls, Like I went to campus, picked out these girls,

0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 2>put them in a hummer limo, brought them to Vegas

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and I was, you know, Jason Strauss did this whole

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 2>baptism Sami ceremony in the tow Beach pool, and I

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 2>thought I was born again. Like it was just one

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 2>of those moments where I'm like, Okay, I'm done. I'm done.

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 2>And then I met Onasis at the bar at the Venetian.

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 4>So you meet her on this trip, you see her

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 4>at the bar. Now tell us the story, because you

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.719
<v Speaker 4>you ended up getting married like within.

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Days, right, no? Eight hours? Yeah, eight hours.

0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>So you meet her in Vegas and you got married

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>eight hours a little later.

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 2>But I want to I want to hear the details.

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.559
<v Speaker 4>You walk up to her, you see at the bar,

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 4>you say, it's love at first slight obviously, right, and

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 4>then what then what happens?

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 2>How do you get to the chapel? So I get

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 2>to the bar, I'm like, wow, okay, this this blonde.

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 2>She has this Sienna Miller Scarlet Johansson type vibe. And

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 2>she wasn't into me, like she didn't know who I was.

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 2>And I felt like I was like a normal civilian.

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 3>Hitting on a girl totally, and she was just.

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, mean, she was just mean to me. And

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I I never felt that in a while from.

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Right, because you've always gotten everything you wanted just handed

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:22.200
<v Speaker 3>to you.

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like there wasn't even like when I would go

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 2>on dates with girls, there was no communication. I would

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>just we would just start making out. Wow.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Ok So I was in that phase of my life

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 2>where I was like, wow, like this this is like

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>hard work, right, which obviously wasn't really hard work, because

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.439
<v Speaker 2>we ended up, you know, trying to get married, but

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.840
<v Speaker 2>the chapel was closed. Then we ended up making love

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, okay, you know, we still want to

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>get married, and I was like, wow, this is actually

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 2>really good. And then we got married at like ten

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 2>o'clock in the morning and at the normal white wedding chapel.

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 4>And then what happens from there? Now you both lived

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 4>in separate places right at this time.

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So the thing is when you get married in

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 2>eight hours, you really don't know the person.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah at all.

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I would have been married a million times if it

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 1>was just that after eight hours.

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>But I was I was such a I don't want

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>to call it dark place. I was just in a

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 2>place of like, hey, I need change.

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 3>You needed to like you for something I want.

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want a family. And everyone every girl I dated,

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>it just they didn't look at me like Whoman Carimean,

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 2>which is my birth name. They looked at me like

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I was Nick Ritchie. This asshole was like judging my elbows,

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, so like I'd never had that interaction, and

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 2>it was just refreshing that this person didn't know who

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 2>I was. I didn't know who she was, or her

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 2>family or anything I knew now. And I woke up

0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the next day, you know, we had a married Well,

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>we got married, and then we honeymoon kind of another

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 2>night club, which is that sounds terrible, Okay, And then

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 2>we woke up and we woke up and it was

0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.720
<v Speaker 2>all over the news, and I'm like, who the hell?

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.680
<v Speaker 2>And I remember I was churning on my phone was

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>blowing up. My mom was so mad at me because

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I come from a Persian Armenian you oh yeah. Like

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't like like what are you doing. They already

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>hated me from the dirty and now I'm just like

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>literally like ruining the family. So it was on the

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 2>ticker Shane Lamis marries the Dirty Guy, and I was

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 2>so mad because I was just like, wow, okay, so

0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 2>who is she that she's a higher level than me,

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 2>because they're calling me the dirty guy. They're not saying like, hey,

0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 2>you know Nick Ritchie, Marys, you know whoever. So it

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>was all over TEMs. She flies back, I flew her

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>back to Malibu or La or whatever. Teams he's falling around,

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 2>and it just became a circus. And she kept telling people, well,

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 2>she's not in love with me and really, and we're

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 2>doing this in reverse and we're doing the marriage thing

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to try to figure it out, which

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously I wasn't like offended by it, like we just

0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 2>met each other and I'm like, okay, hey, we gotta

0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 2>do this. But then they started like tracking down her

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.640
<v Speaker 2>death and like it just became it became a circus

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 2>where I flew her out to Scottsdale. And that was

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>probably the worst idea ever why because then I found

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 2>out who she really was like and and then there

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 2>were so many things that I had to clean up

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 2>in her life to get her whole, to make her

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 2>a good Parker. And then I went into the mindset

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 2>like how you know, I was kind of embarrassed about

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.040
<v Speaker 2>whole situation. But then I'm like, Okay, well I can

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.199
<v Speaker 2>do this, I can fix it. I can make it

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the way I want to be in my life and

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>create family and create stability. So it worked because I

0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 2>got her out of the bubble, the halt of the

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>la bubble.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 4>Right, So you guys moved to Scottsdale. I was in

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 4>Scottsdale and she moved with you.

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I flew her out, you know, got went, went

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>got her stuff from storage and brought her out to Scottsdale.

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 2>And then it was just it was even worse because

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 2>when I walked around Scottsdale, it was already gone, you know,

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 2>so like because there's no there's no celebrity in Scottsdale.

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 4>So so when I was in Scotsland, you guys are power.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, imagine both of us. It was like Brad and

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Angelina walking around and there's only like fashion, fashion, fashion,

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>there's many places we went there.

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how Randal and I feel everywhere we go. We

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>always feel like we're Brad and Angela's.

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, stop it, we do fucking.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.959
<v Speaker 3>Not obviously, Randall obvious, but let.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Me ask questions.

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 4>So now she moves there, and obviously you're in love,

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean whatever version.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Both in love. I was. I was in the fantasy

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 2>of love.

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Now, you guys, because you ended up together ten years

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 4>not so that's a real eleven years.

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:32.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a long time.

0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 4>That's not that's not pretend.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>That's like, there's something now.

0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 1>And can I just say this, I'm hoping with this

0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>because I obviously follow you on social media and you

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 1>know you can clearly tell that you're hurting very much.

0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 3>So so when we're.

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Talking about these earlier years with her, Nick, I want

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>you to try your best to like remember how it

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>used to be before.

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 4>We get before we get to where we're right today,

0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 4>because I because there had to be some real quality

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 4>of love and family for you in the state, and.

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Because this is going to be the final time that

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.359
<v Speaker 1>he speaks about this. I want this to be therapeutic.

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be healthy. I wanted to be productive

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>and true since absolutely from.

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 4>His heart, not just from the place of anger and

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 4>her correct that's where he's at today and I and

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 4>I understand that, so I want to.

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Be sensitive to that.

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 4>But at the same time, so, so you're in Scotts Sale,

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 4>when do you have kids? How many years into the

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 4>relationship do you have your first child?

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 2>About a year? A year.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:36.440

<v Speaker 2>La just said yeah, because I want to backtrack just

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.120
<v Speaker 2>a second. Why I'm here today is because you guys

<v Speaker 2>are friend's family. You know. I didn't want to go.

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't want to go and tell the world from

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>a place of hate, like you know, and it's not

0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 2>even hate. And it's bothering me that everyone thinks that

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm like attacking her. But I'm just trying to be

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>honest and trying to get everything out because I know

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Instagram's not gonna be forever. It's not gonna be your

0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 2>in ten years podcast will be this what I'm recording today.

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Will be here for the rest of eternity, and your

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 2>kids will listen to this one day when you know.

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.080
<v Speaker 2>And and I know lawyers are listening to this. I

0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 2>know families listening to this. I know all these random

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 2>trolls are listening. And I have a new respect patrols

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 2>because I have no one to talk to at four am.

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>So now I'm like dming like random people that don't

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 2>even have followers. It's it's it's not even funny. It's

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:42.240
<v Speaker 2>not funny. It's not but it is certainly. But because

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna hit you up at four am, and

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, who am I gonna talk to? But

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 2>I talk to you know, but but I will tell

0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 2>you na hater sixty nine And I'm literally telling them like, yeah,

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 2>this is what's going on. But I'll tell you people

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>don't realize.

0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 4>And I think that the beauty of who you are, Nick,

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 4>and what's made our friendship is that you are the

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 4>most honest and sincere human out there. So I think

0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 4>that when people hear this, they're going to hear of

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 4>the truth and the truth of whether it's pain or

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 4>truth of just kind of where.

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You're at, you've been brutally honest. But with the two

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.639
<v Speaker 1>of you, let's let's not try to like paint a

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty picture. I mean, you have definitely been attacking her

0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>on social media.

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:23.959
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean you've gone in.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I've gone in, but I need you know you've gone it.

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>You've gone in hard. Okay, but no, that's not that's

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to me. It's not hard to me. It's therapeutic. I

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 2>built different. Listen like Lali, you know, like I'm I

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 2>come from a place of tough love. I come from

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.119
<v Speaker 2>a place of holding the mirror and holding the person

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 2>accountable to who they are. In my heart of hearts,

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm not just looking out for me. I'm looking out

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 2>for the next guy. I'm looking out for the onassis

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 2>of the ones, like there are more than this person.

0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 2>And this person controlled me and abused me, in me

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 2>in this cycle for eleven years, and my ego was

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 2>so big that I never had the balls to get out.

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 2>And I had children, So it started as like, hey,

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you know this is this is progressively getting worse. I'm

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 2>in this cycle of with a person that has a

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:20.280
<v Speaker 2>prescription addiction and I enabled it. So I'm going to

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 2>take full responsibility over my actions. And what I did.

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But in my heart of hearts, I thought, Okay, well,

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:31.280
<v Speaker 2>if I am not giving this person the love that

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.919
<v Speaker 2>they need, They're gonna die. Like her family has a

0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 2>history of dependency, like I just I never ever once

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 2>came from a place of not heart with her. And

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.080
<v Speaker 2>it was only until recently in the events that have

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.439
<v Speaker 2>happened where I'm starting to wake up and I'm looking

0:18:47.480 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 2>back at all the different years and the things that

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 2>have happened through the trials and tribulations of our relationship

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.439
<v Speaker 2>and losing a child, it just it almost prolonged the

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>marriage because.

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.240
<v Speaker 4>It kept you in it longer, because because.

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>My heart did she miss Carrie?

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Is that what? Yeah? We lost a child and

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>it was the most It was the hardest thing I've

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.359
<v Speaker 2>ever done in my life because the child it was

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 2>a religious hospital. I held the child. I named the

0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 2>child r J. I had to hold this child and

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 2>I had to say goodbye to this child while on

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 2>NASA's was on her deathbed in ICU on a so

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 2>so so for me, I'm like, I've always been the caretaker.

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I've always paid everything for her. I've given her more

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 2>than the world could possibly give her. Ever, and I'm

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.880
<v Speaker 2>just in shock. So today I have I have pain,

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 2>But I don't want to come from a place of dishonesty.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to come from a place of being authentic.

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 2>And I'm telling you like, yes, I'm really I'm in

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 2>a really, really, really dark place. But at the same time,

0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 2>this is the way I process and and the reason

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 2>why I process this way, and the reason why. And

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to call it shame. I want to

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 2>call it truth because I know other people are in

0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:10.360
<v Speaker 2>my shoes and they don't have the balls or they're

0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 2>wherewithal to basically say like, hey, this is what's happening

0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.160
<v Speaker 2>to me. They want to just silent, make it private,

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 2>let it go away, so the next guy gets screwed

0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 2>or the next woman gets screwed. That's abuse, that's literally abuse.

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 2>And what I'm going through is so brutal because I

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:31.440
<v Speaker 2>have children. Yeah, so my heart hurts for them more

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 2>than it hurts for myself. It doesn't hurt for her

0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:35.680
<v Speaker 2>because she doesn't see it in the bigger picture, in

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the grand scheme of things. I gave her everything she wanted.

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I got our g wagon, I got a Rolex, I

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 2>got her ten broken backs. Whatever she wanted to the

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 2>sacrifice of myself. She gave me nothing, nothing besides love children.

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And now people are coming at me all over the

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.000
<v Speaker 2>interirant saying, this is the mother of your children. Now,

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 2>this is the way I process because when I created

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 2>the greatest sight in the world in my eyes because

0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 2>it held them here to people and help people accountable,

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and everyone ridiculed me. This is the way I process

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.960
<v Speaker 2>because now to me, she is a civilian, She is

0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:10.919
<v Speaker 2>a dirty celebrity. She is a person that I would

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>basically make fun of on that site back in the day.

0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 2>And this is how I'm letting my emotions go. This

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 2>is me. This is old school, and there's a big

0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:22.360
<v Speaker 2>disconnect because this new generation of people, these new kids,

0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 2>who have no idea who I am, which is fine.

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I love that they see everything in the world of likes,

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.320
<v Speaker 2>they see everything in the world of engagement, they see

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 2>everything in the world of their social media, and nothing

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.359
<v Speaker 2>else matters. This is how they survive. They keep so

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:42.119
<v Speaker 2>many secrets. Secrets are lies, secrets are lies. And I

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.719
<v Speaker 2>cannot stress that more because in my heart it pains

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:49.120
<v Speaker 2>me so much to see people basically just say, hey,

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:51.439
<v Speaker 2>you know what this person was a bad person over lunch.

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 2>That's it, and then it goes away.

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 4>So let me just say something real quick. So you're

0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 4>a great dad. I know that I have to assume

0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 4>she's a good mother, correct, I have to assume she's

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 4>a good mother. I mean, I'm speaking an assumption that

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 4>she's I mean, it's all from an opinion, but I'm

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.240
<v Speaker 4>saying she's not a horrible mother.

0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:14.679
<v Speaker 3>I take your feelings out of it.

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Take your feelings out of it if you were just

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 1>if you were just some dude who saw a chick

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 1>with her her kids.

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Is she a good mother too.

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 2>In the moment, In the moment, I'll give her credit

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 2>in the moment, But waking up at twelve o'clock, not

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.120
<v Speaker 2>giving your kids breakfast, and basically yelling at your husband

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to go to CBS to pick up her Adderall prescription,

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 2>then running out of adderall, and then making her husband

0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.560
<v Speaker 2>lie to a doctor and say he has add to

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 2>get more adderall. Like I'm telling.

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:47.320
<v Speaker 1>You, So you're talking to somebody who also you know,

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I struggle with addiction. I never popped a pill. I

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 1>never like drinking was my thing. And you know, Randall's

0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.240
<v Speaker 1>stuck by me, and you know I think he was

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the one making right. You were the one making sure

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the bark heart was full, or that there was champagne

0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:02.159
<v Speaker 1>in the fridge.

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Like, I completely get that.

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>The difference is is at that point in my life,

0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>thank God I was not a mother, you know, so

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 1>to hear you speak about her and I get it,

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:17.879
<v Speaker 1>we're like wanting to shed truth in all of these things.

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>It's absolutely heartbreaking because we're talking about a woman who, yes,

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is the mother of your children, who has who has

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.880
<v Speaker 1>done you dirty, no pun intended.

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 3>But you know.

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.639
<v Speaker 1>She's if this is the case, it's a woman who

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously needs professional help. And that to me is very heartbreaking.

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:40.639
<v Speaker 2>It's heartbreaking for me. I cried all last night. I

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:42.680
<v Speaker 2>couldn't sleep last night. I knew I was coming here

0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to close this chapter in my life and for me,

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, knowing that I'm begging and begging her family,

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm begging her please get her help. And whoever she's

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:57.159
<v Speaker 2>with this new guy, I don't even care, Cupcakes or

0:23:57.160 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 2>whatever his name is, go get her professional. I'll save

0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>her because I've done my best. I've done everything, and

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I've sent it to her face and she just fires

0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:07.800
<v Speaker 2>back at me with vengeance.

0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:12.199
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but I think today, like, okay, so you were

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.719
<v Speaker 4>married eleven years. You have two beautiful children, right, they're happy.

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 4>They seem like happy kids. I see them with.

0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:17.880
<v Speaker 2>You all the time.

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:20.440
<v Speaker 4>They're great kids, say, they seem like really beautiful kids.

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 4>And and and I think at this point, though, what

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I see is a lot of pain and a lot

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 4>of hurt. And I understand because I've I've got pain

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:28.520
<v Speaker 4>in my life.

0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:31.800
<v Speaker 2>And I love this woman. I was. I literally.

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 4>That's it. That's what I think she needs to hear.

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying, I know as the mother of your kids,

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:40.159
<v Speaker 4>of anything.

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I love her from the fact that she's been through

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 2>the battles. She's seen me fight for freedom of speech.

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 2>She's seen me go through hell and back, sued left right,

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:53.720
<v Speaker 2>like she's seen it. She was there in bed me

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 2>getting her starbucks. But at least she saw the travel

0:24:57.480 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>of what I had to go through to basically give

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the world their own platforms, their own freedom of speech.

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Save Facebook. I saved Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, all these

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 2>sights I won. I set precedents in court for these

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:13.439
<v Speaker 2>sites to be able to do what they do, to

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>do what they do, for Zuckerberg to make billions of dollars.

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 2>That's that's my bad, right, you know, And then for

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 2>her to basically just say, hey, you know, never give

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 2>me back that appreciation and that love. That hurts my heart.

0:25:27.080 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 2>But she gave me. She gave me. She gave me

0:25:28.640 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 2>the children, which.

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Are the best things that the best thing you could

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 1>ever gets.

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:36.399
<v Speaker 4>And by the way, I see you happy when I

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:38.199
<v Speaker 4>see you with your kids, I see you lit up.

0:25:38.200 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 4>I see you as a great dad. You brag about

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 4>your kids. I think for me, at least in this episode,

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 4>is to try to get to a place where at

0:25:45.640 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 4>the end of this you know you can let it

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:52.800
<v Speaker 4>go and focus on the kids. I mean, at least

0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 4>I want to focus on the kids. I want to

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 4>think you and focus on you in your next chapter,

0:25:57.160 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 4>because Nick, you have a big life ahead, you know

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 4>what I mean, You've already had a big life. Like

0:26:01.040 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 4>you and I are guys that are very blessed. Lalla too,

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 4>we've had really But I.

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Also want for you, Nick, is you know there's sometimes

0:26:11.359 --> 0:26:13.959
<v Speaker 1>there's so much damage that can be done that cannot

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>be repaired, and you know there will be a day

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:22.679
<v Speaker 1>where she becomes the person that she wants to become

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and who you would like to see her become.

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, as a mother specifically, because a woman, I

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:29.200
<v Speaker 4>don't care about.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>That, just as just as a person who thrives in

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 1>life is there will be a time.

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:37.760
<v Speaker 4>Where they're sitting at a at a graduation of his

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:40.800
<v Speaker 4>children exactly and together together.

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:44.239
<v Speaker 2>No chance, I disagree at this point right now.

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.679
<v Speaker 3>No, No, well, absolutely, you're you're in it. You're in

0:26:47.760 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the fucking ocean. No one is around

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.760
<v Speaker 3>and no life, raft nothing right, So no help, no help.

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:58.639
<v Speaker 2>It hurts. And I just need my kids to know

0:26:58.720 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 2>because they're gonna listen this one day. I love you

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:03.640
<v Speaker 2>so much, press in line and this this is literally

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the most painful thing your father has ever ever experienced

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 2>in his life. I loved your mother so much, and

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 2>it pains me that I couldn't get over the threshold

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 2>of making her see reality. And that's probably my fault.

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I gave her too much and it's going to pain

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 2>me for the rest of my life because we had

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful family and I just couldn't. I couldn't fix her.

0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't like and that's probably because I couldn't fix myself.

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.080
<v Speaker 2>So that's where I'm at in my life right now,

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:40.360
<v Speaker 2>and it hurts, It hurts really bad. But I do

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 2>love you guys very much, and I think that both

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you are very talented and very successful and you'll be fine.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 2>And now my focus, Randall, is to create my succession

0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:55.119
<v Speaker 2>and just annihilate the world and just torture you.

0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 4>So in a good way, in a good way, but

0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:01.359
<v Speaker 4>in a good way, because now, you know, what people

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 4>don't realize is you've built a new business which is

0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 4>thriving and flourish and called celeb and I you know,

0:28:07.720 --> 0:28:12.120
<v Speaker 4>it's it's the new modern you know, a celeb culture

0:28:12.200 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 4>where you go and you read great news and Britain

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 4>groundbreaking news and and I just want people to know that,

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.639
<v Speaker 4>like you know, uh, you know, this stuff is not easy.

0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 4>People don't realize that pain even if you're the one,

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 4>like like your ex wife.

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Soon to be ex wife is initiating this divorce.

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:35.200
<v Speaker 4>Whether you're initiating the divorce or you're the being the divorce. See,

0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, whichever side you're on or it's mutual, it's

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 4>still painful. You have kids, you have to look at

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:43.320
<v Speaker 4>them in the face every day, and.

0:28:43.360 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 2>The wake up of waking up not knowing it because

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:52.240
<v Speaker 2>I had a routine. I would wake up like a zombie.

0:28:52.320 --> 0:28:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I would wake up, have my coffee, go make a

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks run to wake her up, get her flowers every

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:04.560
<v Speaker 2>other day, wow, and literally just pray that she didn't

0:29:04.560 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>abuse her prescriptions, that she would not crash for a week.

0:29:09.400 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 2>So and then I would take care of the kids

0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 2>and I would go work. I would get you know,

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it was just it was always me. But I thought

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 2>this was.

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 4>How life worked, you know, you just this was your routine.

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.240
<v Speaker 2>And now I wake up and I'm like, what do

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I do today, you know, besides take care of my

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:27.080
<v Speaker 2>kids and whatnot.

0:29:27.120 --> 0:29:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel that you were and I say this

0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 4>very kindly, do you feel you were somewhat of a codependent?

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>No? I felt like it was Stockholm syndrome. Okay, I

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 2>felt And I know there's guys out there, because guys

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 2>are built very tough, and they don't want a minute

0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:45.160
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden. What I've learned from this

0:29:45.280 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 2>is that I do have emotions. I can cry. It's

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 2>okay to cry. It's okay to be a normal human

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 2>being and not be fucking tough.

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 4>By the way, with Lawa, I mean, she can tell

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 4>you how many times I cry to her.

0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you're acting. That was mean as fuck.

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 4>We got to take a quick break because that was

0:30:06.040 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 4>really mean. But I'm glad you haven't lost your sets

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 4>to humor. That's one thing I've noticed, and I'm very

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 4>happy about that, because you call me up and you'll

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 4>be in tears and then two seconds.

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Later you'll be bashing me.

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 4>So it's okay, all right, We'll be right back with

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 4>the epic nick Ritgie.

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>All right, y'all, we are back with a fun podcast.

0:30:28.760 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 3>But also it's it's it is realistic.

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 4>Can I tell you that in the hundred sorry, we're

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 4>not in one hundred episodes. In the seventy plus episodes

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:39.920
<v Speaker 4>a year and a half we've been doing this, this

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 4>is probably the most raw, heavy, real you know.

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think, don't you think a lot of

0:30:46.760 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 2>this is pretty?

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 4>This is this is, this is We're usually a little

0:30:50.360 --> 0:30:53.320
<v Speaker 4>lighter on this podcast, but you're one of our best friends,

0:30:53.360 --> 0:30:55.640
<v Speaker 4>and I know this is an important day because we're

0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 4>putting somebody behind us, and the fact that you would

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 4>even trust us to come here is a honor for us,

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 4>and we hope that this is getting you to the

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:05.720
<v Speaker 4>place to kind of make.

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 2>It definitely is And thank you guys for giving me

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.760
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to actually say my piece because I just

0:31:10.800 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>need to get off my chest and just gone.

0:31:12.680 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've found and this is what I noticed when

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I started writing my book is when I would read

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 1>something that I had written versus when I actually say it,

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:28.280
<v Speaker 1>it comes across so differently. And you know, people following

0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you they only see, you know, things that you've written

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:35.320
<v Speaker 1>or screenshots, and you know it can come off very

0:31:35.360 --> 0:31:39.360
<v Speaker 1>differently than when you're actually hearing a person speak about it.

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 3>Does that make sense?

0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>It totally does.

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>So that was my hope for today as well, having

0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:47.080
<v Speaker 1>you on is you know, not people not just seeing

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:50.120
<v Speaker 1>like something that you've written online, but you know you

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:53.960
<v Speaker 1>can't feel hard in words, No, it's hard, very it's

0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 1>hard also, especially when there's a lot of posts, multiple posts,

0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:58.280
<v Speaker 1>multiple posts.

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Correct, this is people hearing who you are as a

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 4>human and seeing because we were watching you struggle and

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.360
<v Speaker 4>we're watching the emotions right now. But I think people

0:32:06.360 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 4>can hear it, and they can hear you know, the

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 4>sincerity of just what.

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>You're going through.

0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 4>And I think anybody who's gone through any traumatic pain

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 4>in their life of any sort can relate to today

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 4>because it's there's always two sides to every story.

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, and there's the actual how it's really going down,

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:26.480
<v Speaker 1>which no one really even knows.

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Correct.

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:33.520
<v Speaker 1>So I saw I looked up Shane obviously just to

0:32:33.560 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>see like what her posting was like. And I have

0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 1>a very real and real question for you. Do you

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>believe you're a narcissist?

0:32:41.920 --> 0:32:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Can we talk about this like seriously, Like what

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:45.680
<v Speaker 2>does that even mean?

0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Well? I know what it means because I've had to

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>deal with a lot of them.

0:32:49.440 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but what does that mean that a bad person?

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Because I love myself?

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:55.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, absolutely not.

0:32:55.200 --> 0:32:57.600
<v Speaker 1>There's a big difference between being a narcissist and someone

0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 1>who's being confident and practicing self love, huge difference. A

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>narcissist is somebody who they really don't have a real

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:09.400
<v Speaker 1>perception of reality and they always place blame on the

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:14.240
<v Speaker 1>other person without taking on some responsibility as to why

0:33:14.400 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 1>things have happened.

0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's in my mind. I believe in creation. I

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 2>believe I create my own destiny. I believe I can

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 2>do anything I want to do, and I don't believe

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm a narcissist. I think I'm a genius. I do

0:33:27.120 --> 0:33:29.800
<v Speaker 2>not think I'm a narcissist. It's two totally different worlds.

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.800
<v Speaker 1>So, and by the way, I'm not pinning you as one.

0:33:32.920 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I just saw a post that she claims that you

0:33:35.680 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>are one, and that I wanted to get your perspective

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>on that.

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's my perspective, because people.

0:33:39.800 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm no doctor. I'm not here telling you you're a

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 3>way that I have no doctor.

0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not diagnosing anybody with anything.

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I want to put this out there right now because

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 2>sometimes people project something about someone else, it's because that's who.

0:33:57.640 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 3>They are, right right.

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:03.960
<v Speaker 2>If you guys came into our home, and people who

0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 2>have been in our home, which is very guarded, and

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:10.879
<v Speaker 2>she really wouldn't let a lot of people visit, it's

0:34:10.920 --> 0:34:14.640
<v Speaker 2>just pictures of her everywhere. There was one picture of

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.400
<v Speaker 2>me and my daughter in the entire house. No pictures

0:34:17.440 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 2>of my family, every single picture, La La. I'm not

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 2>even kidding you go into our home is it is

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 2>a museum. It is a museum shrine to Shane on Nassas.

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 2>So I don't like how she's portraying me as a

0:34:33.120 --> 0:34:36.160
<v Speaker 2>narcissist because in my mind, what I think of narcissist

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:39.239
<v Speaker 2>is someone who's obsessed with themselves so much that they're

0:34:39.239 --> 0:34:41.480
<v Speaker 2>in a delusional state of mind. I am not in

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:44.359
<v Speaker 2>any delusional state of mind whatsoever. I am a man

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:47.719
<v Speaker 2>broken whose heart is broken and trying to recover and

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 2>repair today after finding out she is with someone else

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 2>in Awatuki or wherever that place is, I don't know.

0:34:57.560 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It's where they fix the bayliner boats for the lake places.

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I had no idea. I'm not going to stop because.

0:35:07.080 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 3>There, because he googled it, obviously.

0:35:09.280 --> 0:35:10.359
<v Speaker 2>But what I'm saying is that.

0:35:14.880 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 4>So let's just catch up, because we want to get

0:35:16.600 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 4>to a place where where you can feel good about

0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:21.800
<v Speaker 4>leaving this out there and and moving forward.

0:35:22.520 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 2>She is with somebody else.

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Now you're telling us, yes, okay, so that happened after

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 4>you guys split up.

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 2>It must have happened during. And here's why it's just

0:35:34.239 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 2>so painful, and this all started. It's just so crazy

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:42.560
<v Speaker 2>because this all started with with her. She said, you know,

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:45.279
<v Speaker 2>it was our anniversary. I got her a ring, I

0:35:45.320 --> 0:35:48.719
<v Speaker 2>got her all these things, and she came in because

0:35:48.719 --> 0:35:50.799
<v Speaker 2>we were in separate bedrooms at the time. I lived

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:52.960
<v Speaker 2>in the West wing. She wouldn't let me in the

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 2>master bedroom.

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Wow, you guys have wings at your house?

0:35:56.560 --> 0:35:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Not anymore, because I'm not. She's out of there, good luck.

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:02.719
<v Speaker 2>So but I do have to say is that she

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 2>came into my room and I thought she was joking,

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 2>and she was like, hey, I need to figure out

0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:11.240
<v Speaker 2>who I am. I don't want to do this anymore.

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 2>And I was just like, Okay, that's weird whatever, Like

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:16.479
<v Speaker 2>we've been fighting but not, but the last six months

0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 2>have been The sex has been amazing, everything's been great.

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:20.800
<v Speaker 2>You know. She's telling me how great of a husband

0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I've been, and then she bombs out to a watuki

0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 2>or wherever she went, allegedly Palm Springs. I reach out

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:30.080
<v Speaker 2>to her father and be like, hey, you know, I

0:36:30.080 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 2>had this weird feeling that Shane's on drugs. Okay, and

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 2>he discards me and goes straight to her, and all

0:36:37.560 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, she's got a lawyer, she's got his

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 2>whole legal team, she's got everything going. And I call

0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:46.839
<v Speaker 2>him Horenzo because he's been married a million times and

0:36:46.880 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 2>he's now he's engaged to a girl from Idaho and

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 2>that's a winner. So so now I'm in this state

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 2>of mind of like wow, like maybe I'm getting played.

0:36:57.640 --> 0:37:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Then she goes to page six Randall and shells the

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.560
<v Speaker 2>whole world that we haven't had sex in a year,

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and she hasn't been intimate, and we've grown apart and

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:10.920
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff complete lies. And I still was like, Okay,

0:37:10.960 --> 0:37:12.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be the bigger person for my kids. I'm

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:14.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna just be quiet. Okay.

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 4>See that's my See just like my thing in La

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 4>LA knows this is I believe in just keeping it

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:23.880
<v Speaker 4>private for the children. That's how I've I've been. And

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 4>so you're saying you did this.

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 2>And and I hired and I spoke my ilegal and

0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:33.719
<v Speaker 2>they're like Nick, whatever you do, do not be nick,

0:37:34.160 --> 0:37:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Like just be just level, let this go. Let's get

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 2>out of this clean hay or whatever she wants, you

0:37:40.719 --> 0:37:45.000
<v Speaker 2>know whatever. And I, in my heart of hearts, I'm like, wow,

<v Speaker 2>like this is just shocking, Like I just took an OL.

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I've never taken an OL, Like this is an OL. See.

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:53.040
<v Speaker 4>But I don't think I disagree with it as a win.

0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:54.719
<v Speaker 4>I take it as a win because I think for

0:37:54.760 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 4>the kids, going silent is the right thing in not

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:00.360
<v Speaker 4>taking a public that's just me.

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so here that way. So I went out that way.

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 2>The page six thing comes out. She puts out a

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>thing on Instagram basically saying we've grown apart, YadA YadA,

<v Speaker 4>Okay, So it was very cordial.

0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Then I went through this space and like, okay, well

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm single, so let me put a picture of myself.

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I was feeling good, I'm at the beach whatever, and

0:38:39.080 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 2>be like, hey here I am single, Nick, let's go,

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:47.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, dm me, let's start seeing the world. Her

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 2>family went psycho like, how dare you you have children

0:38:51.680 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 2>with with my with our horenzos saying like you have

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 2>children with my daughter after eleven years, and then her

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:03.720
<v Speaker 2>his fiance Idaho went at me, and I was just like, okay,

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 2>this is crazy. Then they reported me on Instagram like

0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 2>as a sexual predator, and I'm like and a bad father,

0:39:10.719 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and I'm just like this is insane. I'm like, and

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I told on Asses, I go on, Asses, you don't

0:39:16.239 --> 0:39:18.759
<v Speaker 2>want to poke the bear, like, you know, I am

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:20.840
<v Speaker 2>not the bully. I am the bull, right, you know,

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:23.759
<v Speaker 2>so I will literally but say they all.

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 4>Should have gone quiet. Everybody should have just gone quiet.

0:39:26.560 --> 0:39:27.680
<v Speaker 4>Like that's really really that.

0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the bully.

0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:31.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm the bull, right, and I think everybody should have

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 4>just gone quiet. Like if I was to give advice,

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 4>it's everybody just go quiet, let the court handle the

0:39:37.760 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 4>divorce and go through the pain privately, and then and

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 4>then be there.

0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 2>For your kids.

0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:47.920
<v Speaker 4>That's that's how I believe in doing things. But they

0:39:47.920 --> 0:39:48.840
<v Speaker 4>have dinosaur brains.

0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:51.520
<v Speaker 2>They have dinosaur brains, and they came after me, and

0:39:51.520 --> 0:39:54.359
<v Speaker 2>they're like, wow, I was shocked. I'm like, are you

0:39:54.360 --> 0:39:55.400
<v Speaker 2>guys crazy?

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:59.120
<v Speaker 4>So she went to the press first. Yes, okay, okay,

0:39:59.160 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 4>so that's what star, because I didn't know what started

0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 4>all of a sudden, I'm reading pages of you know,

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:07.759
<v Speaker 4>just you going off. But this started because she went

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 4>to the press first.

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:10.879
<v Speaker 2>It all started with them, and I want to make

0:40:10.880 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 2>that very clear. So one day when my kids do

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:17.799
<v Speaker 2>listen to this, they understand their father actually said, you know, hey,

0:40:18.040 --> 0:40:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna not do anything.

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna go quiet and be respectful to my children,

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 4>which I know you as a father, that's who you are,

0:40:24.960 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 4>So it makes sense now. The line of events makes sense,

0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.200
<v Speaker 4>law you know what I mean, because I only saw

0:40:30.239 --> 0:40:32.280
<v Speaker 4>one side, but I didn't know that he had already

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 4>you would agree to in your mind to just go

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 4>peacefully into the night for your children. And then they

0:40:38.160 --> 0:40:39.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of brought it to the press.

0:40:39.719 --> 0:40:43.319
<v Speaker 2>And then the second I pulled back the curtain, I

0:40:43.440 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 2>felt a sense of not power, but a sense of

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 2>myself and I started having flashbacks to Nick Ritchie having

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:58.120
<v Speaker 2>the ability to control the narrative and I was able

0:40:58.160 --> 0:41:01.520
<v Speaker 2>to say, Okay, you know what, these people need to

0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 2>be outed as who they really are. And that's when

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I was like, wow, Okay, I'm starting to feel truth.

0:41:06.920 --> 0:41:09.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting to feel honesty. I'm starting to feel authentic

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:13.239
<v Speaker 2>and it might as bad as it looks for me.

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:16.480
<v Speaker 2>And when a judge listens to this, I need the

0:41:16.560 --> 0:41:19.760
<v Speaker 2>judge to know that I did this for my own honor,

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:22.239
<v Speaker 2>I did this for my children, I did this for her,

0:41:22.360 --> 0:41:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I did this for her family. Because I'm not living

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:29.200
<v Speaker 2>in lies any more. It's done it's over. So you

0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:31.319
<v Speaker 2>guys can hate me, you can do whatever you want.

0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:34.240
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, the anxiety is gone.

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Right that eleven year prison sentence of purgatory, whatever it was,

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:46.799
<v Speaker 2>shawshank I was literally stuck in a CBS prison and

0:41:47.000 --> 0:41:50.239
<v Speaker 2>it is done. So good luck, Cupcakes, you can have her.

0:41:50.920 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh shit, who's cupcakes? I don't know the Bayliner dude,

0:41:57.400 --> 0:41:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the guy.

0:41:57.719 --> 0:41:59.680
<v Speaker 3>That lives in Okay.

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:03.239
<v Speaker 4>So here's what I take away from this. You have

0:42:03.280 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 4>two beautiful children. You hat eleven year marriage that clearly

0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:09.960
<v Speaker 4>both of you. Both sides were not happy, right, You

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 4>were not happy, she wasn't happy. Whatever it may be.

0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:16.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't know the details. But today, looking at where

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:19.120
<v Speaker 4>we are today is you still have two beautiful children,

0:42:19.480 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 4>You still are who you are. You haven't lost one

0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 4>beat or skip to your step. That's for sure. That's

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:28.560
<v Speaker 4>for sure. And now do we put it behind us

0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:32.080
<v Speaker 4>and move to the next chapter, which is Nick Ritchie's

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:33.880
<v Speaker 4>next chapter of his life, which is going to be

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:36.000
<v Speaker 4>fucking beautiful and brilliant.

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 2>So the goal is today, once you hear this, the

0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:44.440
<v Speaker 2>world hears this. This is it. She's erased. They're erased

0:42:44.760 --> 0:42:48.360
<v Speaker 2>from my syntax. And I move forward and focus on business,

0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:52.319
<v Speaker 2>celeb my brand. I'm filming Richie Rich, which is a

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:54.720
<v Speaker 2>follow show that's only going to stream on the app.

0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:57.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do things that are just going to blow

0:42:57.320 --> 0:43:01.759
<v Speaker 2>media away, and my goal is to actually and this

0:43:01.800 --> 0:43:03.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to be sound, This is going to sound

0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:05.719
<v Speaker 2>so crazy. What this has taught me that you need

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to lean on friends, and you need to you need

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.239
<v Speaker 2>to bring your friends up with you and not be

0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:13.279
<v Speaker 2>against them. Because I've always been in the mentality that like.

0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:16.440
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you know, I'm here or I'm making my own success.

0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:17.759
<v Speaker 4>I don't need everybody around.

0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:19.960
<v Speaker 2>And you get that, Yeah, you know, and I think

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:23.840
<v Speaker 2>you and I are the same place. It's lonely at

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the top, right it is. But the only way to

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.360
<v Speaker 2>stay at the top is to show the top the

0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:31.160
<v Speaker 2>friends that are with you at the top, to show

0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 2>them what you see correct and say hey, what do

0:43:33.520 --> 0:43:36.200
<v Speaker 2>you see? And then you learn from that, so you know,

0:43:36.320 --> 0:43:38.439
<v Speaker 2>you get it. We've been to the top and we've

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:40.919
<v Speaker 2>already done everything we've wanted to really do, and now

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.320
<v Speaker 2>the chapter in our life is we look at things

0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and now we know where we're going because we've already

0:43:45.680 --> 0:43:48.680
<v Speaker 2>experienced the fails. We know how to stay away from

0:43:48.680 --> 0:43:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the fails. This was an internal fail by me. The

0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:55.040
<v Speaker 2>only positive of my the trophies are my children, and

0:43:55.080 --> 0:43:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I have to focus on those trophies and I have

0:43:56.760 --> 0:43:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to shine those trophies every single day and look at

0:43:59.480 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 2>them like they're oscars. And that's the only way I'm

0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:06.319
<v Speaker 2>going to survive out of this. Other than that, good luck,

0:44:06.560 --> 0:44:08.399
<v Speaker 2>good luck to them, good luck to them. And I'm

0:44:08.440 --> 0:44:13.000
<v Speaker 2>going to level the fuck up so fucking hard that literally,

0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I've literally I believe that so hard. The viager is

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:20.320
<v Speaker 2>going to retreat and I am going to make a massacre,

0:44:21.080 --> 0:44:24.880
<v Speaker 2>a massacre in a positive light for everybody. And I

0:44:24.920 --> 0:44:27.680
<v Speaker 2>want to bring everyone with me. That's amazing, everyone with

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:29.480
<v Speaker 2>me and this story, Laula. I know, as much as

0:44:29.520 --> 0:44:31.280
<v Speaker 2>it looks like a smear, it looks like this or whatever,

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:34.799
<v Speaker 2>people are with me, and it's giving me power. It's

0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:36.719
<v Speaker 2>giving me my strength back, and it's giving me my

0:44:36.840 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 2>light back. Because I left everyone on her accord. It

0:44:41.160 --> 0:44:43.520
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just me, like, hey, you know, she made me

0:44:43.560 --> 0:44:45.920
<v Speaker 2>feel so bad about myself and the things that I

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:47.879
<v Speaker 2>would do, and she would belittle me every single day,

0:44:47.880 --> 0:44:49.279
<v Speaker 2>and how terrible of a husband I am?

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:50.759
<v Speaker 4>How terrible of a father I am?

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:53.560
<v Speaker 2>And how how dare I not treat her like a queen?

0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:56.120
<v Speaker 2>And now I'm here sitting with you, guys, and I'm

0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:59.040
<v Speaker 2>telling you I am a king. I'm coming back on

0:44:59.120 --> 0:45:01.560
<v Speaker 2>my throne. This is where i want to be and

0:45:01.600 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 2>this is who I am, and I'm finally finally rising

0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:05.960
<v Speaker 2>from the ashes.

0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:09.560
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, Nixt, I know you personally, so

0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that when I see what you post

0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:17.160
<v Speaker 1>that I'm looking at it as like a smear campaign.

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:21.200
<v Speaker 1>But there are other people who don't know you, so

0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:25.000
<v Speaker 1>from an outside perspective, that's what it does look like.

0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:27.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's why I wanted you to come and speak

0:45:27.800 --> 0:45:30.719
<v Speaker 1>your truth with your actual voice and tell us how

0:45:30.719 --> 0:45:31.720
<v Speaker 1>it really went down.

0:45:31.600 --> 0:45:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Because you're a very very level headed person. So I

0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 4>feel like now people are hearing, like, Look, I was.

0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:42.200
<v Speaker 4>I was also responsible for this marriage. She was responsible.

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:45.160
<v Speaker 4>We're both responsible and it didn't work. And there is

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:48.239
<v Speaker 4>pain that I have and I'm sure she has pain too.

0:45:48.600 --> 0:45:52.319
<v Speaker 4>But the part is like we're both at an age, Nick,

0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:54.239
<v Speaker 4>and I'm older than you, but we're both in our

0:45:54.640 --> 0:45:55.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, you're in your forties.

0:45:55.560 --> 0:45:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I just said fifty.

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:59.840
<v Speaker 4>But we're at an age where we've realized our mistakes,

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:02.680
<v Speaker 4>we've we've fucked up, we can own it. Like I

0:46:02.880 --> 0:46:05.640
<v Speaker 4>don't have an ego anymore where I'm like, I'm perfect

0:46:05.680 --> 0:46:06.880
<v Speaker 4>and I don't make a decisions.

0:46:06.920 --> 0:46:07.600
<v Speaker 2>You just said it.

0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:09.319
<v Speaker 4>You made a lot of mistakes, but you also have

0:46:09.719 --> 0:46:12.400
<v Speaker 4>huge successes. And I'm the same. So I think that

0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 4>people hearing that that that's the real Nick Ritchie that

0:46:15.120 --> 0:46:16.960
<v Speaker 4>I know. The real Nick Ritchie I know is a

0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:21.400
<v Speaker 4>baller successful person but also has failed tremendously, just like

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 4>I have.

0:46:21.960 --> 0:46:24.000
<v Speaker 2>You know and you we own that and we own that.

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:26.279
<v Speaker 2>And I think the difference with who I am now

0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:28.400
<v Speaker 2>compared to who I was in my thirties and my twenties,

0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:33.120
<v Speaker 2>whatever I can, I can let the pride go to

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:33.959
<v Speaker 2>ask for help.

0:46:34.360 --> 0:46:37.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's important. That's the most important thing I think.

0:46:37.160 --> 0:46:39.359
<v Speaker 2>And you know that I was in Central Park. I

0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:43.359
<v Speaker 2>was like by myself so lost, and you called me

0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and you you're like, are you okay? Like, dude, I've

0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 2>been there, let me help you, Let me help you.

0:46:47.640 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 2>And I accepted it. Yeah, I accepted it.

0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 4>And you didn't want to you I've said, I said, Yeah,

0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:56.120
<v Speaker 4>I said what pride and pride when you're in pain

0:46:56.560 --> 0:46:59.799
<v Speaker 4>is what kills you. It destroys you emotionally, it makes

0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:03.880
<v Speaker 4>you make bad decisions, very bad. So I was very

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:05.440
<v Speaker 4>happy because we are friends.

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:08.399
<v Speaker 2>And I know, I know, and I told I told Lala,

0:47:08.480 --> 0:47:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, you're you're You're on my side, like you

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 2>literally had my back and you're my angel in this

0:47:15.160 --> 0:47:17.239
<v Speaker 2>whole situation because you've been there and you're giving me

0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:20.239
<v Speaker 2>good guidance. But it's so hard to take it. It's so

0:47:20.360 --> 0:47:23.480
<v Speaker 2>hard because the pride is so strong. But I've learned,

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:27.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, thanks to you and thanks to other friends,

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:30.520
<v Speaker 2>that it's okay to listen and it's okay to accept.

0:47:30.880 --> 0:47:33.920
<v Speaker 2>And for for me saying that as Nick Richie, that

0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:36.600
<v Speaker 2>is like literally stabbing my guts.

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:40.279
<v Speaker 4>But but for me, it's you rising and and and

0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:45.600
<v Speaker 4>growing right because because when we when our pride kills us,

0:47:45.880 --> 0:47:48.560
<v Speaker 4>we don't grow and we're in pain and we just

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:49.560
<v Speaker 4>it's horrible.

0:47:49.640 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 2>I just want to love again. That's it.

0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:53.360
<v Speaker 3>I totally feel you on that, so I have.

0:47:53.600 --> 0:47:59.880
<v Speaker 1>My My final question is if you could reverse time,

0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:05.320
<v Speaker 1>is there anything in this from the time it started

0:48:05.400 --> 0:48:08.160
<v Speaker 1>to where we're at right now that you would have

0:48:08.200 --> 0:48:08.880
<v Speaker 1>done differently.

0:48:09.880 --> 0:48:11.560
<v Speaker 2>I would have never created the dirty.

0:48:12.040 --> 0:48:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Really wow, never, that's crazy.

0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I just would I would be a normal person. I

0:48:19.080 --> 0:48:23.640
<v Speaker 2>would not be known. Pain is the you know, it

0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:25.799
<v Speaker 2>comes from keeping up with the cycle of what we

0:48:25.880 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 2>have to do. And we're in a different We're in

0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a different place where we have to maintain our sense

0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.399
<v Speaker 2>of celebrity and our sense of self and our sense

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:37.200
<v Speaker 2>of achievements, because if we don't, then people look at

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:40.000
<v Speaker 2>us very differently. Those aren't the friends you need, but

0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 2>they're the friends that you have to have. And the

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:46.400
<v Speaker 2>problem is is that if we don't maintain our relationships,

0:48:46.440 --> 0:48:50.000
<v Speaker 2>especially in our industry and the entertainment industry, we're forgotten.

0:48:50.400 --> 0:48:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:48:50.680 --> 0:48:55.040
<v Speaker 2>And my whole thing in this marriage was that I

0:48:55.200 --> 0:48:59.719
<v Speaker 2>had to keep going because she was nobody. You know,

0:48:59.840 --> 0:49:03.359
<v Speaker 2>she was living off her name, she was living off

0:49:03.360 --> 0:49:08.120
<v Speaker 2>her past reality shows and whatever it was. So I

0:49:08.120 --> 0:49:11.360
<v Speaker 2>had to keep going. I had to financially create this

0:49:11.520 --> 0:49:14.680
<v Speaker 2>life for my kids. And if I could do it

0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:17.600
<v Speaker 2>all over again, I would not cause pain on other

0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:21.640
<v Speaker 2>people for financial success. And it eats in me, It

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:26.560
<v Speaker 2>eats at me. But I found that anxiety within myself

0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:29.520
<v Speaker 2>comes from the fact that as long as I as

0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:33.200
<v Speaker 2>long as I'm not hiding secrets, I'm not having to

0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:35.640
<v Speaker 2>maintain a lie. And I don't want to be around

0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:38.960
<v Speaker 2>those people anymore that have to keep maintaining the facade

0:49:39.000 --> 0:49:41.839
<v Speaker 2>of who they are, the facade of the lie, even

0:49:41.920 --> 0:49:44.120
<v Speaker 2>if it's a secret, even if it's a small lie,

0:49:44.440 --> 0:49:48.319
<v Speaker 2>they're still creating this stack of anxiety and you can

0:49:48.440 --> 0:49:51.400
<v Speaker 2>feel it. It's palpable. So I don't want to be

0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 2>that anymore. I'm done with that. But to answer your question,

0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I would just be a normal person. I would just

0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 2>go to McDonald's, Like I just don't.

0:49:58.440 --> 0:50:00.400
<v Speaker 1>It's so crazy that you say that, because there's so

0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:04.240
<v Speaker 1>many times where you know, with with the the path

0:50:04.280 --> 0:50:07.399
<v Speaker 1>that I've chosen, there's a lot of anxiety, and there's

0:50:07.440 --> 0:50:09.319
<v Speaker 1>times where I feel the same way. I'm like, I

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:11.919
<v Speaker 1>just want to like live in Utah and a cute

0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:15.120
<v Speaker 1>little house with my family, and then reality seeks in

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:18.080
<v Speaker 1>where it's like you stop doing what you're doing and

0:50:18.320 --> 0:50:21.200
<v Speaker 1>you don't make any money, like you have to like

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:23.080
<v Speaker 1>what I do pays my bills.

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:24.160
<v Speaker 2>So yeah.

0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:26.960
<v Speaker 4>But also I also think that you have a passion

0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:31.759
<v Speaker 4>for acting and all. I love entertainment, But I think

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:35.040
<v Speaker 4>you as an artist. Enjoy that, and I think it's

0:50:35.080 --> 0:50:37.400
<v Speaker 4>not just money for you. If it was just money,

0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:38.879
<v Speaker 4>you would have left La a long time.

0:50:38.960 --> 0:50:40.719
<v Speaker 2>But I know, but also you have a drive to

0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:44.160
<v Speaker 2>La La Rice completely build it, to build a brand.

0:50:43.520 --> 0:50:47.840
<v Speaker 2>You're not an Onassis. Onasis is a person that basically

0:50:47.880 --> 0:50:50.640
<v Speaker 2>thinks they're Jackie O. Let me explain this Onasas thing,

0:50:50.680 --> 0:50:52.680
<v Speaker 2>because it's it's really bothering me that people do not

0:50:52.880 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 2>grasp why I call people certain things. Cupcake is called

0:50:57.080 --> 0:50:58.600
<v Speaker 2>cupcake because his last name is Baker.

0:50:59.120 --> 0:51:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, love it.

0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Lorenzo is engaged to a girl from Idaho, Okay. Onasas

0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:10.800
<v Speaker 2>is a playoff Jackio because Jackio is the first ever

0:51:11.920 --> 0:51:14.399
<v Speaker 2>brought the medium, blew her up so big. She never

0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:17.040
<v Speaker 2>had a real job. I know everyone loves her, they're obsessed.

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 2>She wore these big sunglasses. My own asses wore these

0:51:20.440 --> 0:51:24.200
<v Speaker 2>big sunglasses. So I always looked at her like she

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:30.799
<v Speaker 2>really thinks he's Jackio, right, So, and JACKIEO lived off Onassas,

0:51:31.360 --> 0:51:34.279
<v Speaker 2>so to me, the money was all Onassis. So, so

0:51:34.400 --> 0:51:35.800
<v Speaker 2>to me, I look at her like, wow, she's just

0:51:35.800 --> 0:51:37.400
<v Speaker 2>trying to live off me, and now I have to

0:51:37.400 --> 0:51:40.400
<v Speaker 2>support not only Onas, but to support all of Awatuki,

0:51:40.400 --> 0:51:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I might as well be the maryor of Ahwatuki. So

0:51:42.600 --> 0:51:46.520
<v Speaker 2>it bothers me a lot in that regard. So that's

0:51:46.560 --> 0:51:48.600
<v Speaker 2>where I come up with these names. But it's therapy

0:51:48.600 --> 0:51:52.000
<v Speaker 2>for me. It's therapeutic. It's it's not it's not in

0:51:52.040 --> 0:51:53.759
<v Speaker 2>a vulgar way. It's to make people laugh at the

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:55.280
<v Speaker 2>situation and be like wow, okay.

0:51:55.040 --> 0:51:56.800
<v Speaker 3>Well they're also pretty cute names.

0:51:57.000 --> 0:52:00.280
<v Speaker 4>By the way, Onassas is flattering my opinion. It's second,

0:52:00.280 --> 0:52:02.640
<v Speaker 4>it's not because your brainwashed. I think Jackie Oh is

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:03.960
<v Speaker 4>something crazy.

0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean she was married to to Kennedy.

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:09.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean she was.

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:11.839
<v Speaker 3>You can call me own asks if you want.

0:52:12.360 --> 0:52:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna call you.

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't wear big sunglasses.

0:52:16.040 --> 0:52:18.000
<v Speaker 4>But but let me let me say this because you

0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:20.399
<v Speaker 4>have good But I think nick I think I need.

0:52:20.440 --> 0:52:23.560
<v Speaker 4>I think people have to understand that whatever you know

0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:26.759
<v Speaker 4>nicknames you're you're giving people, it's through pain that you have.

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Let's be honest.

0:52:27.920 --> 0:52:30.359
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I mean you're trying to find through your

0:52:30.440 --> 0:52:32.839
<v Speaker 4>humor because I know you for a long time. Part

0:52:32.880 --> 0:52:34.959
<v Speaker 4>of your the way you deal with pain is through

0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:37.640
<v Speaker 4>your sarcasm and through your humor and through your wit.

0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 4>You're a very witty person. People don't realize. I mean

0:52:40.000 --> 0:52:42.960
<v Speaker 4>you are high level with You're so witty that even

0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:44.839
<v Speaker 4>before all this happened, you'd call me up and say

0:52:44.840 --> 0:52:46.640
<v Speaker 4>some crazy ship and then like I hang up the phone,

0:52:46.680 --> 0:52:48.800
<v Speaker 4>I realized, oh my god, he just he just he

0:52:49.000 --> 0:52:53.879
<v Speaker 4>just like plastic, just like what the fun? I think

0:52:54.080 --> 0:52:54.560
<v Speaker 4>very fast.

0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I know if you were just a bad dude, you

0:52:58.440 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be on your social media. You would be keeping

0:53:01.200 --> 0:53:03.400
<v Speaker 1>this quiet and you would just be dragging her in

0:53:03.600 --> 0:53:05.040
<v Speaker 1>other forms.

0:53:05.480 --> 0:53:07.279
<v Speaker 3>You're coming from a place.

0:53:07.440 --> 0:53:10.200
<v Speaker 4>Of a lot of pain, of pain, and I'm sure

0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:10.879
<v Speaker 4>she's in pain.

0:53:10.920 --> 0:53:12.480
<v Speaker 3>And if you deny that, I'm.

0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Sure she's in pain too. Let's let's be honest, like,

0:53:14.640 --> 0:53:19.600
<v Speaker 4>because it's both could you not? Because family's been you know,

0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:21.080
<v Speaker 4>you guys are separating.

0:53:21.360 --> 0:53:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Even if you sit there and you're like, I can't

0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:28.279
<v Speaker 1>stand this person, it's still breaking up something that obviously

0:53:28.360 --> 0:53:31.080
<v Speaker 1>started out greater. You never would have gotten fucking married.

0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:32.839
<v Speaker 2>You know what the problem is too, is that I'm

0:53:32.880 --> 0:53:36.279
<v Speaker 2>really in fear that I'm just like I just want

0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:38.959
<v Speaker 2>to hold hands with somebody. I just want to walk

0:53:39.000 --> 0:53:40.799
<v Speaker 2>the beach. But you're going to have that, Nick, I'm

0:53:40.840 --> 0:53:44.359
<v Speaker 2>not because because I'm type cast, that's not true.

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:48.200
<v Speaker 3>I see where you're in it. You're in it.

0:53:48.280 --> 0:53:49.759
<v Speaker 4>You're in it right now.

0:53:49.920 --> 0:53:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

0:53:50.560 --> 0:53:54.560
<v Speaker 4>I think Nick, if you give yourself, honestly, sixty days

0:53:54.719 --> 0:53:57.520
<v Speaker 4>to just let now that this is the final.

0:53:56.960 --> 0:53:59.520
<v Speaker 3>More time days.

0:53:59.560 --> 0:54:01.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't mean sixty days for him to be okay

0:54:01.920 --> 0:54:05.040
<v Speaker 4>and happy, but just sixty days to just have a

0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:06.320
<v Speaker 4>little quiet to himself.

0:54:06.360 --> 0:54:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Just I think every time you have a super negative thought,

0:54:10.080 --> 0:54:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you need to put the phone down and you need

0:54:12.400 --> 0:54:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to like you're talking, you're like preaching to make every

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:15.560
<v Speaker 1>single comment.

0:54:15.600 --> 0:54:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I read every single DM. I read everything because it

0:54:19.239 --> 0:54:19.799
<v Speaker 2>fuels me.

0:54:20.040 --> 0:54:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Can that stop today?

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:22.400
<v Speaker 2>It has to.

0:54:23.320 --> 0:54:26.600
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna go into the darkest abyss that you're never

0:54:26.640 --> 0:54:28.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to pull yourself out of. Because, like

0:54:29.040 --> 0:54:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you said, when you were with Shane, it became like

0:54:32.760 --> 0:54:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a just like your new norm. Right you woke up,

0:54:35.960 --> 0:54:38.279
<v Speaker 1>you were on autopilot. That's it's gonna be the same

0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:41.000
<v Speaker 1>thing with reading comments, reading dms. It's just gonna be

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:44.320
<v Speaker 1>something that you do every single day. It'll become a routine.

0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:47.279
<v Speaker 2>And this is why I didn't, you know, when I

0:54:47.280 --> 0:54:48.840
<v Speaker 2>look back I'm like, God, why did I start the

0:54:48.880 --> 0:54:51.480
<v Speaker 2>dirty Because if there wasn't this, I don't think there

0:54:51.480 --> 0:54:53.799
<v Speaker 2>would be Instagram. I don't think there would be. I

0:54:53.840 --> 0:54:58.760
<v Speaker 2>think I caused a wave of ripple effect of hate

0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:01.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sorry for that.

0:55:01.680 --> 0:55:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Wow, that's big, that's big.

0:55:04.440 --> 0:55:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:55:05.400 --> 0:55:09.200
<v Speaker 4>I think the takeaway today is starting your life in

0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:14.160
<v Speaker 4>the next chapter and now protecting your kids and making

0:55:14.200 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 4>sure they have rainbows and unicorns.

0:55:16.400 --> 0:55:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Because I hear your podcast with them.

0:55:18.280 --> 0:55:18.759
<v Speaker 4>It's what.

0:55:20.560 --> 0:55:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Girl dad.

0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Everyone's got to listen to this, girl dad. What a

0:55:23.440 --> 0:55:26.120
<v Speaker 4>genius idea. A little jealous I didn't start it myself.

0:55:26.440 --> 0:55:28.360
<v Speaker 4>It's actually genius, and I think it's got to be

0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:31.840
<v Speaker 4>therapeutic to see someone who looks at the world through

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:33.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, kids.

0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.239
<v Speaker 3>You know that's what kids live through.

0:55:36.360 --> 0:55:38.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And to hear you, who I know is in

0:55:38.960 --> 0:55:42.439
<v Speaker 4>pain when you're on this with your daughter having these

0:55:42.480 --> 0:55:44.680
<v Speaker 4>beautiful moments and her it's got to.

0:55:44.600 --> 0:55:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Be because I feel like a failure as a father.

0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:51.319
<v Speaker 4>No, the opposite. Who does a podcast, Who does a

0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:54.319
<v Speaker 4>podcast with their kid? I'm actually envious and jealous. I

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:56.600
<v Speaker 4>wanted to rip that idea because it was so beautiful.

0:55:56.680 --> 0:55:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I did it because we don't you know you're you're

0:55:59.680 --> 0:56:01.600
<v Speaker 2>like me. We care about our kids so much and

0:56:01.760 --> 0:56:03.680
<v Speaker 2>we want to give them the world. Yes, we spoil

0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:06.480
<v Speaker 2>them when we shouldn't. Correct, I agree with that, and

0:56:06.600 --> 0:56:11.719
<v Speaker 2>we shut that ship down daily and we put them

0:56:11.880 --> 0:56:15.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, we show them worlds that their husbands will

0:56:15.800 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 2>never achieve for them, right, and that's our fault because

0:56:19.000 --> 0:56:21.680
<v Speaker 2>we love them so much. I wanted to have one

0:56:21.719 --> 0:56:25.319
<v Speaker 2>hour with my daughter press or I can actually look

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:28.799
<v Speaker 2>her in the eyes and have a true conversation and

0:56:28.880 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 2>to understand her mind.

0:56:30.120 --> 0:56:32.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it's beautiful. I listened to it.

0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:36.680
<v Speaker 2>It was the most powerful. It's going to blow up.

0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:39.560
<v Speaker 2>It's next week is when I have the first couple episodes.

0:56:40.480 --> 0:56:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I've just been doing teasers. I listened to the tea.

0:56:44.000 --> 0:56:47.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I just can't believe how beautiful she.

0:56:47.200 --> 0:56:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Is, so smart.

0:56:48.160 --> 0:56:48.799
<v Speaker 3>How old is she?

0:56:48.920 --> 0:56:52.040
<v Speaker 4>She's nine, yeah, going on probably fifty.

0:56:52.160 --> 0:56:54.239
<v Speaker 2>She wants to be an actress, a singer that she

0:56:54.239 --> 0:56:55.840
<v Speaker 2>wants to She just wants to conquer the world. But

0:56:55.880 --> 0:56:57.439
<v Speaker 2>she doesn't see the world like we see the world.

0:56:57.480 --> 0:56:59.359
<v Speaker 4>No, because she's because she's nine.

0:56:59.560 --> 0:57:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's beautiful and have so much to like. It's

0:57:02.800 --> 0:57:03.360
<v Speaker 3>her oyster.

0:57:03.520 --> 0:57:04.960
<v Speaker 1>She looks at the world and she's like, I can

0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:06.839
<v Speaker 1>have all of that. She hasn't been jaded, and.

0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:09.640
<v Speaker 4>She's also you know, your child, which means she's got

0:57:09.680 --> 0:57:11.960
<v Speaker 4>to be witty as fuck, right, She's gotta be you know,

0:57:12.000 --> 0:57:15.880
<v Speaker 4>she's just gonna be sassy, sassy. But I think that

0:57:15.880 --> 0:57:17.920
<v Speaker 4>that is something really unique and I think it's really

0:57:17.920 --> 0:57:19.840
<v Speaker 4>beautiful and it shows who you are as a father.

0:57:20.200 --> 0:57:21.560
<v Speaker 2>The fact that you took the time.

0:57:21.800 --> 0:57:24.160
<v Speaker 4>You could do one hundred podcasts, Nicky, come on, you

0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:26.520
<v Speaker 4>could start thirty different podcasts if you wanted. Instead you

0:57:26.600 --> 0:57:28.520
<v Speaker 4>chose to do with your daughter, Yeah, which I think

0:57:28.640 --> 0:57:33.000
<v Speaker 4>people are really it's something very special and I think parents,

0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:35.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, are gonna love this.

0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Kids are going to love kids. That's what I mean. Kids,

0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:38.680
<v Speaker 2>kids and parents.

0:57:38.760 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I mean this is something I could sit

0:57:40.440 --> 0:57:43.520
<v Speaker 4>down with London, Yes, you know, and and and and

0:57:43.560 --> 0:57:46.040

<v Speaker 4>talk to his daughter.

0:57:47.080 --> 0:57:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty cute.

0:57:49.040 --> 0:57:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And I you know, I was always thinking how am

0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:52.760
<v Speaker 2>I going to come back into the podcast world now

0:57:52.760 --> 0:57:55.520
<v Speaker 2>that it's blowing up, right, and I'm seeing like, wow,

<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, we don't.

<v Speaker 4>We don't know how it happened because we started and

0:58:02.400 --> 0:58:04.760
<v Speaker 4>we were both like, we're gonna last about four episodes

0:58:04.760 --> 0:58:07.160
<v Speaker 4>and then they're gonna kick us off the air. But anyway,

0:58:07.160 --> 0:58:07.880
