Man this evening. If you know what I'm talking about.

It was very very difficult to get this man on the show. Another Bizon of Myne, another Italian guy. But it was very very difficult to get him on here. In order to do this, I had to make him an offer he couldn't refuse. You know, on the streets they called this guy Nikki haircuts.

But what I can tell you.

With a high degree of confidence is that you mess with this guy, He's gonna cut more than just your hand.

Yeah, I do. I do women in men. So it's where where are you? Are you in the Are you solshal in North Shoa?

Okay?

Uh you heard Dean College?

She's like, no, no, I've heard of Dean Yeah, never been, but I've heard of it.

Oh. We did a Dean College roundtable on here because SD and Boozy Booty both went to Dean College.

Yep.

And Peter Murphy introduced me to a woman named Terry. She's a standout warrior named Terry Robbins. She was on the board at Dean for twenty nine years. I found out by accident last weekend. They named a building after Dean and she's one of us.

Wow.

Right, So Anyway, I'm in Colorado. That's I live now, so you know what I do for a living. But anyway, I'm here in Colorado. So but I'm gonna be flying to Boston the twenty eighth of March for the National Standout and all that. So maybe i'll I'll book a haircut. So they are like kind of right before the trial. Yeah, so they stopped picking the Jerry correct. Yeah, yeah, I mean.

The beginning of match. March fifth is a big day. We have the federal the federal hearing for her appeal, so that that's a big day too.

Wow, that that would be. I mean, like for me, I'm gonna come on Friday, I have to leaving Sunday and get back. I only have so much I can leave that I can take from from my job, which if I didn't tell you about it, I'll tell you offline. But anyway, so but I'm really happy. I'm gonna get to spend three days there, go to two standouts, have a little meal, food and maybe even maybe even Yeah.

So if what's his name, Auntie dev this is supposed to be coming in for her perm, but she she's slacking on raising five thousand dollars. So if anybody was watching this her next live if you guys want to see Jimmy get a perm, which I don't do. I do not do perms, but I'm going to do it if he can raise five thousand dollars. I think he was.

I think he was close to three grand, but he needs to get to the five that was the deal.

If he raises five thousand dollars, I will, I'll do the perm and we'll we'll stream it live, we'll have a good time.

But he needs to get there. He's slacking.

So if in next live show, help him get there, guy, so we can we can get Anti dev a perm.

Well, that Sexy Beast is going to be on next week after Jen Jen Altman is going to be on on the twenty I think it's Karen's birthday, and then I think twenty six and then and so we're gonna do a fun rate. I just spoke with Bea Bia is it whatever event they're having today. She's sitting with Jenn Altman and Meredith. So we're gonna have a Karen fundraiser on the twenty sixth yep and then and then Anti deb will be on the twenty eight, twenty eighth.

I believe so might I might have to join in that show and talk some shit to him.

You were invited, You were invited.

At the they're all at the I don't know if it's over now, but it was the blanket making fundraiser. Yeah, yes, that's where Grady put that together. She's a sweetheart. She she does so much too as well. I mean, there's there's there's a lot of people, and I will say this, you know, when when this first started, I was kind of the only one that was, you know, really pushing the fundraising and stuff like that, and then uh, you

I'm dude, did I did you? Did you know I was gonna tea up idea? How was my godfather impression? Was it pretty good?

Good?

No?

It's good?

Thank you? Okay, thank Cepa. See talk about my accents, baby, how you like it?

So?

When I first started like going on court TV and and and talking, I tried to pronounce my rs. But I sounded like such a jackass doing it that Jenna was like, you have to stop, just talk normal, because like I wanted to sound like I want to sound a little more professional. So I started saying my rs and it was it just sounded like such a force that I was like, I can't, I can't do this anymore. I'm just gonna talk how I talk.

Yeah, I mean. So I retired from the Air Force, and one of the cool things about being in that is people are there from all over the country, so you get every accent. And I love accents. Just love it. It's beautiful. It's regional, even my own hometown. I did my hometown accent for BIA the other day and she was kind of like, wow, you know, I mean it it sounds kind of Pennsylvania almost, you know. So I think accents are great. I don't think there's anything wrong

You know, she was actually she was the first female So I grew up in the North Shore. She was a cop in Malden and she is the first female police officer for the city of Malden. And I mean, I don't know how far back that goes, but the fact that she was, you know, the first female cop, and you know, she's been involved in the game for a long long time.

Policing medical stuff.

So it's it's just amazing that Hank Brannan wants to sit here and basically try to shame her, you know, shame everybody that the everybody he's gonna he's gonna learn I think a lesson on Tuesday. Don't lie. He should not lie about what the defense has said and what they have because they have the receipts.

For everything, and and it's all it's all gonna come out.

And you know, you see people online saying, oh, Alan Jackson needs a lawyer. The defense teams in trouble. They heard one side, they heard a one sided story. The defense hasn't been able to defend themselves yet. They're they're not worried. I would say if they were worried, the only worry is is is that Judge Bev is unpredictable. They're not worried in the sense if they did anything wrong, because they didn't do anything wrong and they're gonna show

Yeah, it's gonna be wild.

Yeah. Say hello to Maza Media's here, Hello.

Mazda, what's up, Masa? How we doing. He'll be actually he'll be at the dinner giveaway. He got invited and uh LTL Media Brian he got invited as well, so they'll be there. So whoever does win the dinner giveaway,

To make sure it has to be something other than the wings. Okay, all right, fine.

Well I think I think this restaurant, you're gonna have to use a forking knife. Whatever you do, we eat, so it won't be hands food, that's for sure.

That plison. It wants wings, Nikki, what the hell were talking about here? It wants were what are you gonna do with wings? That don don't eat wings. You know what I'm talking about. Nick, all right, Detective Balones is here. Oh there you go, so great job, everybody. You guys are just kicking ass in the chat right now. Thank you so much, everybody. Stephanie's here. There's so many of you, but we got to get to I want to find

I'm looking at my phone. I'm not being rude. I'm just checking because people are sending me messages that are still joining the giveaway.

Yeah, please do so. Do I have the right scroll across the screen right there?

Nick?

Is that the right scroll? Yeah?

So you can donate it. You can donate it to free Karenreid dot net. That brings you right to her defense fund instead of trying to type that in free Karenreid dot net. Well, you can send it to her venmo as well.

Here's Venmo. This is Karen's Venmo right there, Karen hyphen Reid hyphened one. Yeah, thank you to Sherry Dizzle my mod because she's the one who got me all the links. We also have the free Karen Reid is pinned to the top of the chat. You guys should be seeing that. Let me know if you don't see it, but the Karen Reid Defense Fund should be pinned to the And then we also have a PayPal here that you can use, which is at Karen Reid nine twenty one or on

No, I mean any one of them are fine. I would say probably if anything, either the venmo or just the I mean the defense fund is I would put the VENMO one up just because the defense one's easy. It's free Karenreid dot net forty dollars per entry. You got about until seven thirty. I do have the wheel up and ready to go. So basically as people do donate in, I'm not going to add you to the Facebook post, but you will be added to the wheel.

Bob Olisi with the nice curly hair, what would you do with Bob Olisi's hair is kind of a Julius Caesar kind of a looking on with.

Huh curly here?

Yeah, doesn't he have like kind of wait, what is how would you describe Robert Alessi's hair curly?

I didn't know who you said, Oh, bob Oli Yeah, he's got his short on the sides. It's definitely says a cut on top for sure. But he actually, I'm pretty so he's out in New York and I'm pretty sure he has some family around this area too that you know followed the case obviously, is that their dad is being in the attorney, so you got people everywhere supporting her. But all right, let's let's let's do this all right.

Yeah, I feel like he needs I feel like he might need some help from you in the hair department. He's got something nice to work with. I think BEA's here, is Bea here? I didn't see Bea. Let me you guys, let me know if BEA's in the chat. But uh, well I see her because I see Christina's giving her a shout out. So uh anyway, so Nick, obviously would I want to find out because like my mod said to me, what do you know about Nick? What do you know about Nick? I'm like, I don't know anything

So actually the way this started, Well, so I've I've followed Turtle Boy his Facebook pages and stuff for a while. I never really watched much of the content. I would see it here and there coming up on you know, my Facebook, and all the ratchet stories. I definitely found them to be amusing. And one day me and my wife were at Mohegan Sun for a cheerleading competition, and he walked by and I looked. I'm like, I was like, I think that's Turtle Boy and he stopped and you know,

And you know, I was like, what can I do, Like how can.

I help her? And you know, I wanted to. One of my clients actually told me to join the original Facebook group. So I did join that Facebook group, which obviously went to all hell. I think I'm still blocked from it, to be honest, But so I joined that Facebook group and I was sitting in my salon one day and I was like, I have so much product,

I mean like I have a whole list.

I keep track of everything just because because I like to hit my goals.

So every time I hit a goal, I set a new goal.

So the new goal right now is five hundred thousand, and I'm about I'm about seventy thousand short of it right now. So with you know, with everything going on, you know, adding the total from this giveaway, for the for the dinner giveaway and everything, I just that's what motivates me is to hit my goals right.

And and the other thing is is you.

Know, oh, what's Nick's cut? How much is he getting?

Right?

And and and this is if I if I take a cut, it shortens me to getting to my goal, right, Not that I've ever been offered a cut, but if I get paid to do what I do, that just takes away from me hitting my five hundred thousand dollars goal. So so there is no there is no Nick fund, There is no Jena fund. Like like, I do this because I want to do this, not to get a pat on the back or a thank you. And you know, I appreciate people reaching out and saying, you know, thank

Party people, put your damn hands together for Nick rock Man for Nick rock in this joint. Yes, you know how we do it. Cap.

That's pretty much how I got involved, you know, I just well, I want.

To go a little deeper than that, though, Nick, I want to, like, I want to find out kind of like because I'm going to make an assumption, and I want you to tell me if my assumption is incorrect. I'm going to make an assumption that you have never been involved in a justice movement, that nothing has moved you to the streets to action to the degree that this I'm gonna take you get. Maybe there has. Maybe I'm wrong.

About that, not justice but political. I've done some stuff.

Okay, Well, there you go. So we'll get into that, but I would be interested to hear what were the conversations between you and your wife, Jenna, your partner in this in this, in this venture here to help Karen read, to free Karen read something. And by the way, everybody you've got across the bottom of the screen, you also

See, I mean they really there really wasn't much.

It was just kind of it just kind of slowly happened like it just it just it was never really a conversation of like what are we gonna do or or how is this going? It was more just things started rolling and rolling and rolling, and then you know, yeah, I mean they were just it just kind of all fell into place, like like I'm at the point right now where like the Reds know, I mean, it goes without saying they know I have that back. Regardless of what anybody says on the internet about me.

I'm trusted with them. They know they can trust me.

I trust even the even the defense team, Like I'm not I'm not on the team, but I definitely feel like a part of it in the sense of, you know, I get like, like it was wild to me, man I was I was the only one that was invited to be there during jury DELI deliberation, like like sitting in that room with her parents and her and her brother and and Adam, and it was just and I'm looking around and I'm like, am I supposed to be here?

Because it gets nasty out there.

People have sent me, you know, stuff on Twitter that people alot you shoot this person said, I'm like, don't send me this.

I don't care, Like what is this?

What do you do?

I'm gonna I'm being investigated by the FBI, and I'm going I'm gonna be arrested and they're coming to my work, and well, I've come to the point now where it's like if you're gonna, if you're gonna do it, do it, Like, don't, don't wait, just just do it. But I I've done nothing wrong, So so to for them to even say that I'm under investigation is just try to get under my skin and try to get me to stop raising money.

I guarantee you this is These are the kinds of things that I've heard about you. There's another warrior there, Michelle Littlefield. We got a lot of amazing people in the chat tonight. I have starred your questions folks in the chat. And by the way, we and I want to we love you Nick and we're we're honored to have you in cab like I, like I said on the thing, and that's not something trite that I say. Anybody who offers up their time to come and talk

It's probably the most recent post on the Justice Page, so I'll be I'll be posting it with you know, throughout the next fourteen days. But it is posted on the Justice Page. You'll see that. You'll see it right there.

Okay, so you guys know the Justice Page is on Facebook, and that's where the dream Team merchandise will be. I don't know if that's gonna be before or after Robert Alisi or Alessi, depending upon where you're from in New York is gonna get a hit cook from Nick. And it looked like a frigging person over here? What are you doing? Get ahead? Cut, I'm saying I have that sound That sound good?

That was good?

All right, it's kind of Staten Island.

There, and.

All right? Where okay? What is the date of the dinner? Nick?

Believe it is the twenty eighth of February.

Twenty eighth to February. Okay, so we're getting close to wow, we're getting very close. So it's gonna be this weekend, this coming weekend, Friday, I think.

Right, yeah, yeah, Friday.

Friday, awesome, Yeah, okay, And here is the standout warrior. I don't know if you know this young lady. He is a warrior, Boston Brandy. I got to meet her at the meal of food that we had in Denham and at the standout with boots that definitely were not warm enough to be out in that weather, and that didn't seem to bother her. So do you want to read this one? Nick?

My favorite memory? Hmmm? I mean, honestly, I mean it's a tough that's a that's a tough one because being involved, right, I know so much that.

There's a lot of memories.

In the sense of conversations, But I would say the most, the biggest memory that will stay with me for the longest is when we were all in court for deliberation and they said the jury needed fifteen more minutes and they sent us downstairs into a little courtroom and like it was just you could hear a pin drop, like it was silent. It was like we're going to have a verdict. They needed fifteen more minutes on a Friday, Like they don't want to come back on Monday, Like this is this is it?

And that was that was probably the most surreal moment for me. I was nervous as hell.

I just I didn't I was the odd one out, but I didn't feel like I didn't belong there, And that is something that I'll probably remember forever, being in that room. And then once the mistrial was just declared, they pushed us off into another courtroom where everybody was, you know, relieved that Okay, this is done for now, she's not she's you know, she's going home. She's not

So it sounds to me what I'm hearing is this was a very and by the way, my mic sound okay, not too loud? No, yeah, good good? Uh that it it's it's it was a visceral thing. Because I'm assuming you've seen these kinds of things on TV, on court TV and so forth, and now like you're in the room and you can feel the emotions coming from the family. Is that was that what it was? Where is it kind of like yeah, your wife kind of like, oh my god, like this is really real.

Yeah, well so that's the thing is like I never really I never really followed court stuff before this, like ever. You know, mister Reid was sitting there, he had his rosary beads, he was praying. Uh, you know, Karen was talking to a few of her friends. I'm not sure what the what the conversations were about, but it was just a moment that it was just a moment that

So that was a big relief for them.

And you know, they definitely were they were happy with it because it wasn't a guilty verdict, so it was it was just that was that will just be forever with me.

It was just the most intense moment ever.

And I want to agree with patriot Cindy, thank you so much for the twenty Now I must stay that was so dope. With you to do that, and she's saying you are the best.

Nick.

You know that you got a best So I agree. He's a badass dude. Man, thank you so much. It's very very kind of you to do that. Let me see, is there anything else here? Mister haircuts has been Mister Haircuts has been a good spokesman of sorts for the whole movement. Very regular, as we say, Boston guy companying his own skin, which is tough enough for for for the trolls. It all comes through exactly. Yeah, I mean a lot of people. What is in Missiska and busy Nick?

Yeah, you'll just have to come to the shop for it. I don't make house calls.

Yeah, she's in she's in Chicago, so it's gonna be a good flight for her. And let's see if I get seventy k. Also, let me for my hair chance, that's Tracy.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, go ahead, and Nick, I mean some of the next giveaway I'll actually look at them now. I'll give you guys a heads up of what's to come. Let's see. Yeah, we got.

Uh Michelle's offering to help you out. Michelle Littlefield from Stoughton District Court, who helped out the Turtle Boy. Yes his part. Yeah, since she's done a lot of home perms. So there you go.

You got no Gassia Paras signed Pitcher, a four hundred dollars gift card to Smith and Lewinsky's Balenciaga shoes. Someone also offered every month you can have get twelve deliveries I think a total of one hundred and fifty dollars per delivery of flowers. You can have it sent to yourself, you can have someone you want, You can have it sent to anybody. You get twelve deliveries once a month of flowers, so that one will be coming to someone

Forget you were talking about, you know, basically about donating and people wanting to auction off things that they've made and created and whether or not you know what relative value.

Bucks, huh, A miniature like Ben Watson helmet that I've had for like years signed Like it's just like like that, that's the thing. It's like what I've come to notice, obviously the things that bring in the most money is experiences, vacations, and I mean the fact that people were like, hey, listen, I got a week in Saint Thomas. Do you want to give it away? And I'm like, uh, can I use it?

Like like what what do you mean You've got a week you can just give away?

Like what are you talking about? Yeah, and anybody that has ever won, Like that's another thing is uh, no one has ever been has ever been shorted. There's never been any issues with with this stuff. So in the beginning, I used to have people send it to me first so I can make sure the item exists. Now I'm at the point where I'm like, listen, you're gonna ship it to the winner. If you don't ship it to the winner, everyone's gonna know who you are. So so

I mean, there's been the confluence of people who have come together to support this are from all walks of life. People that are quite well off, people that are business owners, people that are working folks, people that are retired folks, people that are stay at home folks, moms and dads.

I remember what I was going to say, now, sure, please. You know, Facebook is a place you can say whatever you want. And you know I've been guilty of, you know, saying stupid stuff before, right and we all have, but but not in this movement. When I when I joined this movement and people started kind of looking up to me in a way, you know, me and Jenna just looked at me and it was like, you need to you need to basically not fight with anybody. Don't say

I did in oh Who's Amy Positive Pathways is Here we Have? I did an entire episode about dealing with trolls when people were fighting and screenshotting Kate and all these idiots like some guy named Kevin that lives in his mother's basement and all this kind of stuff. What I've told people is when you're dealing with the troll what they really want is your attention. They really want

They stop because it's like stop you just look, you stop looking like a jackass, because it's just like you've tweeted it or you've said something about this person ten fifteen times, yet they haven't said one thing to you or about you.

It's just pouring gasoline on the fire.

The more you you combat back and forth with these types of people, you don't even know who you're talking to as well. It's like you're fighting with someone named Karen's tampon, Like what do you what are you doing right now? Why? Why you if you don't even engage with that Twitter account that's gone, it just doesn't even exist anymore. So like that's one thing too. It's like, you know, that's why people send me screenshots all the time. Oh look at this person said, I'm like, okay, Ian,

That's right. Oh look at that. Look at this is the AI did that. I totally did not do that. That was the AI. If you make certain signs, like with your hands, it'll it'll do something for me. Yeah, you just might have to hold it up there for a little bit.

So let me.

Why is in yours doing it?

I'm not special. What do you want me to tell? You? Know?

It might because I have a virtual background.

Yeah, yeah, that's what you want to tell me? How to do that?

Yeah?

You just want to want out me tonight next time, next.

Time you come on, I'll hook you up. You have to have a well you can do a virtual background without.

The green little studio I got here, this is this is always where I sit for Court TV. I got my ring light in front of me, I got my computer here. This is always where I sit now because when I used to do it upstairs in my house, I would be in the middle of Court TV and it would freeze. And when I'm trying to say something important, it would freeze and I cut out because my WiFi

Hell yeah, hell no, I'm with you. You want to be right close to your router or your your WiFi unit. So I want to read this from Mary Malarkey, and usually I say when I read her tweets, it's always with an Irish accent. So welcome back, Matty Malackey, and I'll read your question right now. Love Hi DJ, and welcome mister Nicki Haricots. Promise me you won't burn Auntie Deb's beautiful locks and give me a hot give them a hot mate, So I think that's what that's coming from.

We appreciate you like me me and Kevin.

You know, we we were going to battle every day on Court TV, right, We kind of had this like unwritten on oak an agreement where like, you know, we weren't gonna talk bad about each other, like it was just one of those things like we're on TV every night with each other, like we're just gonna keep it civil type of thing. And then he went and did a show with you know, Kate Peters and on his YouTube channel about my wife. And then then I was like fuck that, like you like, what's up? So I

They were like, you won't do it. They were like, you will not do it.

I was like, bet me one hundred dollars, and six people will like, I'll bet you one hundred dollars to Karen's defense fund. You won't do it. I was like, all right, well more money raise there we go, get me closer to my goal.

And so oh and she's saying, I sound like a leprechaun. How dare you, Julie?

Okay, I'm like, I want to go to my wheel screen. Tell me what happens to my scream?

Oh do you want to present right now?

What happens? Am I still on the screen?

Yes, you are, so go to clickup.

I don't want to do it yet. I just want to make sure if I go to that screen because I want to add a few names. But I just want to make sure if I go to this browser, you can still see me and hear me.

Yes we will. What's gonna happen is you're going to present, You're gonna click share screen, You're gonna pick window. Let me you can do a set it up right now and just leave it backstage. It'll stay backstage.

I don't know how to do it, be okay when I when I I go to do it, you can tell me how to do it.

Okay, all right? What browser are you on right now?

Google Chrome?

Google Chrome? And what browser will the wheel be on? Okay? It should work. Just it shouldn't be any problem. So uh so yeah, everyone saying Nick, Hey, Nick, we can still see you. I thank you, Jody, I appreciate you. And yes, uh it must be really annoying to have to respond to Plevin. But you know what that that's how it goes is you got to present your points.

You do you know what was funny about that episode that night actually, when Vinnie introduced him. Apparently people call him Yellow College Tales or something like that, and he Vinny Vinny goes Yellow College Cottage Tales, and that was the same night I hit him with a plevin and it was I didn't even know about the college thing until people were like, wait, did you hear that? I was like, no, what does that mean? Apparently he owned a bar, like in a college town or something like that.

Okay, there's a request for Scottish accents, so if I read another one, I'll see if I can conjure my Scottish. I'll start. You know, there's some one in my squadron that when she approaches me, I always she's a big fan of British TV like I am, so I always say her name and I addressed her with a Scottish accent. So I will try to do it for you. What's your name, my friend? You are Karma Karma Dharma Hi. Yes, I'll try to get the scott accent when after reading know the tweet bait So no accident.

I was on a cruise. We were in we were on a Mediterranean cruise and everybody kept asking if we were from Australia. So apparently Boston accent and Australian accents somewhat sounds similar. I don't know. I mean, I guess some things we say possibly, but yeah, everyone was like, oh, you're from Australia, mate, and I'm like, no, mate, them from Boston.

Well, there is a lot of British, you know, Like I told you that I love accents. You may have heard me do my John F. Kennedy accent. You know that John F. Kennedy's dad, Joe SR. Was a He was the ambassador to the United Kingdom or I don't know if it was four years, five years, but there is a similarity, especially between that Hyannas Port accent and

Can I do I do present and then.

Uh yeah, share screen and then it's going to ask you a window or a tab and then you just pick which one and it'll appear backstage where below you, next to you and myself there you go.

Oh so you see it in the okay, so you can see it in the back now, okay, yep.

Now we just need to add it to the stage when you're ready, and you'll let.

Me know around eight o'clock up any more questions?

I yeah, So if you don't have questions for Nick, I have more so so I'll keep going. If you I'd be interested personally to know about kind of like where you grew up a little bit about your upbringing, in your background, and we find it interesting to know somebody's history if you don't mind sharing.

Oh now I'm like all frozen, am I is my screen frozen? Now?

You're good, You're you're good, everything's good.

I grew up in the North Shore, not far from Boston. I I went to a vocational school. I got my hairdresser's license actually when I was in high school because I wanted to be a barber, and I it was my sophomore year. I used to work at a restaurant and I met my my soon to be boss. He was out to dinner with his uncle, who was actually my real estate agent, and he's like, oh, when you're ready, i'll hire you this and that, and I was like, I don't want to be a hairdresser. I want to

So I was like, what the hell am I going to do?

So I went to uh, you know, my my former boss at the time, and I was like, hey, listen, uh you want to hire me.

He's like yeah, I was waiting for I was waiting for the call out.

You know.

That was two years I met him, two years probably to me calling.

Him asking for the job, and I worked for him for ten years and then he was He was a big role model in my life. He was another straight male hit stylist, and he was big into real estate and I saw the type of co he drove and I saw what he how he was living his life, and I that's what I wanted. I was like, I want, I want to be successful like him, and I'm going to listen to what he says to do.

And that that's kind of what I did.

And then one lucky day, I fucking scratched a scratch ticket and I hit a million bucks on a scratch ticket, and uh, the after tax and after the payout, I was left with about four hundred thousand dollars. And I took that four hundred thousand dollars and I invested it in two multifamily homes in a single family home, still cutting hair. You know, that was a that by buying the real estate, that allowed Jenna to be able to stay home more with the kids and things like that,

That is an amazing story. Who knew we were going to find out that Nick won a million dollars on a scratch ob.

I was on I was on the show My Lottery Dream Home on h G t V.

They reached out to me they sent a letter to my.

House and they were like, oh, you you know, we know you won the lottery.

Uh, we know you, we know you have a house. Do you want to be on the show?

And you know, spoiler alert, it's not real, but it is what it is, ye.

That.

Yeah, I mean just because of the taxes, like like if you would have won twenty million, you would have won probably got ten or something like that.

Or on the back of on the back of the scratch ticket, it actually says if you take the lump sum, you you the payout of six fifty. So your million dollar winning if you take it right up front automatically goes to six fifty.

And then on the six fifty.

When you go to the lottery hall and you cash the ticket, they say, okay, congratulations, you won six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We're gonna take twenty seven percent right now though, and then we're gonna give you a check for four fifty and then you need to go file these this four fifty as as income on your taxes, so then you're gonna be left with four hundred and like five thousand dollars. But don't get me.

Wrong, it's just shit a ton of money.

Tell yeah, if you do the right thing with it. I mean you you know, I won. How old was I I was? I was twenty four I think it was twenty four years old when I won, well, twenty three when I won. And and you know, four hundred thousand dollars it's it's it's really not a lot of money. It's in today's world. I could have bought a boat, I could have bought a car, and I could have bought this, and there's there's three hundred of it right there, so you know, yeah, it's it's it'll it'll all come.

Yeah, it's shop dude, any property.

Yeah, and then that's that's you know, that was the biggest boost in my life, you know, because I liked to gamble. Well, that was my thing. It was more hobby. You know, we'd go to the casino a lot of me and Jenna. I'd buy a lot of scratch tickets all the time. It was, it was, it was an addictive hobby. I had it under control. I was no you know, gam like addicted to gambling or anything. But I like to have fun and that's what I did. And money has just always been kind of my thing.

But yeah, that that's it's just it's been I've I've lived a very interesting life.

You have you have moment thirty I got you know, I got three kids and I'm married. Obviously everybody knows that. But yeah, it's it's been a while thirty years. But I will say this two things. One you can't win the lottery unless you play, because everyone's like, I never win, and I'm like, well, how much do you gamble?

I never I don't buy scratch.

She gets gone, no, well, yeah, win. And then number two is I always always, always used to say to Jenna, I'm gonna win the lottery. One day. I'm going to win. I know I'm gonna win. I know it. Like I'm like, look at this guy, he won the lottery. He looks like a he looks like an idiot. He's gonna go and spend it all. I would do the right thing with it. I'm gonna win one day. And and that's actually so I took. I took Jenna on the cruise to Greece and Italy. I proposed to her in Mikinos,

That I mean we If we hadn't gone that one more question, we would not have gotten this story. Let me ask you something because we have questions in the chat we had to get to before you spin the wheel? Where is would you like to tell people where the shop is located if they want to come and get their hair cut or no.

The name of my shop is Rocco's Handslon.

You guys can look it up, okay, Roccos Hair Salon and you'll find out where exactly it is. I'm gonna need to look it up because he's gonna take care of business right here with so, which would be really funny. Okay. The other thing we have here is, uh, someone wanted to ask about Vinnie, and it just means like, maybe what is your relationship with Vinnie Paul Tan.

Vinnie is a good dude. He's really a good dude. I truly believe that he believes in Karen Read's innocence. Actually, one story people may not know is, UH, when I first got invited to sit on the live panel during opening statements and stuff, he was getting ready to go home the next day and the line for the media was so long. Matt Johnson was already in there, so I called him up and I was like, Hey, do you want to get into court today before you go home?

Do you want to get in yes?

Or no?

I go, But you're gonna have to sit with us in the gallery with with Karen's family. And he did. He sat, He sat there and uh, you know, so he sat behind the reads and ever. You know, he he runs a TV show and he has to stay on script. And you know what, I actually like that he runs his show right down the middle. You can you can kind of sense of the way he leans. But he's not like Julie Grant that's like so far

I didn't I didn't get the shop.

Like, I didn't get the under the stick here, And I was like, oh damn it on a hassty Like no, I fucking picked this job, Like, like, there's no insult that you could say, that's ever gonna that's ever gonna rub me the wrong way.

But yeah, no, Vinnie, Vinnie is a great dude.

I think he is gonna be potentially coming out for the beginning of tryal number two, but yeah, no, even just all around, he's such a he's such a great dude. And I know a lot of people have different opinions about him, but mine will always be that he's a He's a good dude.

I think you've illuminated it for the rest of us who thought he was biased and maybe be I think, like what you're doing right now, Nick, is you're setting an example for how the rest of us should behave towards people who oppose I'm serious, I'm not I'm not trying to patronize you how we should behave uh around people that oppose Karen Reid. You know that all the organic and have naturally occurring evidence so shorts her innocence, and all the planted, synthetic, framed up evidence is that

It was high it was in high school, so you can look up any north Shore schools and take a wild guess. But I mean people know where I'm from, but I don't publicize it.

That's fine, Yeah, I mean, I mean I just had to ask. But I understand why you would want to not want to give that information. It's so.

I don't know why. And and the shitty thing about that was like it was it was a lease, right, so when the lease his payments are up, you have to give that cop back. When you can't give the cop back, you have to pay for the vehicle for the car, and you can't pay for the vehicle. What happens. They can't go in. They can't go in, and uh yeah they can't, right, So so imagine, I mean, if I had to take a while, guess, imagine what her credits goal looks like right now.

I mean, that's the lease of her worries. But like, these are long lasting effects that when she's freed, are gonna still be in effect. She can't hand that call back anyways.

Look what they did do it They ripped out the senacon, So they ripped out everything of that cop I mean, it's it's there's no repairing that vehicle. But yeah, no they still have it. They they they don't. They don't have to give it back, just like they have all their cell phones, just like they have Turtle Boy stuff, and they don't back you know what I mean. It's like like and and that's that's Uh, it's just a

I think what it is is that you have to like you have to like off your spouse, cut them up and put them in like a Walmart tub in order to get your phone back. Uh. In in seventy two hours.

Brian Walsh get his phone back. Yes, yes, and he's in jail he can't even use it.

Yes, yeah, he got his phone back.

Yeah.

Someone gave the amount of hours or days. It was a short number of days then and he got his phone back.

Yeah.

I want to highlight please pass the pepper here. Uh you know, I love your recent pepper. You're from the Bronx. You sound cool, you sound puff and I love to listen to your freaking voice. That's what I got to say to you. But please pass the pepper. Is a free Karen reader from the Bronx and she just has an amazing accent. Came up to Denim for the meal food.

I actually I got so so that's an interesting account that I always get a message. They messaged me please pass the pepper. And then I get another. Then I got another one called a bacon cheese bogo or something like that that they donate to character like I guess, and I'm like, who the fuck is this messaging me right now? And then I open it and it's a don't. I'm like, all right, they're on outside. But it was

I do it to win money. I try to win money.

So when I do gamble, I usually gamble high denominations just because, yeah, you could buy a fight doll a ticket, but what's the chance you're hitting a million on a fight all a ticket. It's it's very slim. Your odds are better the more money you spend. Just like in a casino. You know, you could sit there and bet twenty fight dollars on black all day and you might walk away with three hundred bucks, or on one spin, you could put three hundred bucks and walk away with

He's got to the Bill Simmons school of gambling, clearly, right.

I do not know Boston Rob. I'm pretty sure he was the Survivor guy.

Right, I don't know who that is. I have no idea.

Also, I think he was on the show Survivor. No, I don't. I don't know him. Honestly, I don't know anyone in Canton. I don't know. I'm about forty five minutes from there. I don't know anybody from there. I've been there twice. One time I had I had an argument with Jim Farriss. In the second time, I was threatened to be arrested for holding a sign. So I don't think I'm probably gonna ever go back to Canton. But that's okay.

So this is Amy positive Pathways and she says Male Hairstylisher the best best hair scrub Essex, m A, I went to Whittier Tech. But I bet you're a little south of me in Essex.

You know that's funny. When I used to be an assistant, I used to I used to wash people's hair and I would be I was very gentle, I was very delicate, and they were like, dude, you gotta scrub like you gotta scrubb Now now it's just like I'm very aggressive with the ship with the shampoos, because that's like everyone alway says that's their favorite pot.

They don't give a shit about the hicket.

If you give them a good shampoo, they're good to go.

Well it's a head massage, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was stationed in Japan and they used to massage your head as part of the hair.

If you want to be on a Calling All Beings listener round table for the members, because I want to do something for the members that is. And yeah, it was so great hearing Nick's story. Yeah, I mean, and I could have gone more. You know, obviously in the community, people are a little bit nervous to share things about the himself as a result of being docsed, right Bia, But you know,

I mean the fact that he was twenty three, twenty four years old hitting the lottery and could have blown it, And that was a very smart investment that he made, which literally set him up for his future. Like I give him so much credit for that, Yes, I did give my hair, did so. But I give him so much credit me too, for you know, investing his money wisely. And look at he's in his he's thirty and he's

Trade what you want to do?

Yeah, yes, learning a trade is great.

Yeah, it's what whatever it is. There's no such thing as a bad job. Only jobs that you like and don't like. And if you like your job, if you are doing maintenance or janitorial work at the at the local school and you love that and you love seeing the smiling kids' faces every day and the smiling teachers who are growing young people into into young men and young women, that's amazing. It's there isn't such a There isn't such a thing as a job that isn't cool.

And it really comes down to work ethic. You can be a janitor and the work ethic that you learn. And like my daughter also went my daughter went through co Op what Nikki Haircuts was mentioning. She's also a hairdresser, and my son is a welder. Both went to the
