Niac always so relatable to the masses. We all been in this situation and the way he expresses what he took away from the relationship resonates heavily!
I agree man. Dealt with bad relationships, drug addiction, and other stuff that Niac has. Kind of refreshing to see someone that understands the struggle
Maniac spitting real facts. Going through a break up(2 years) now, had to live with her for 3 weeks after. Had to bury my sister during that time as well, car totaled same week. All while being sober as well gods tested me the past month and a half. Well get through this together bro.
The highs in life mean a lot less if you don’t know what the bottom feels like. It’s all a test and you have overcome some serious shit. Better days ahead.
yea because hes a joke. His whole shtick is making people feel sorry for him, shits old but enjoy bro hes a great role model be just like him see how that works
MANIAC- i feel you bro. currently being kicked out of one place and moving to another one in the dead winter. searching for a new full time job while i build content creation. you and all the optic boys are a huge inspiration. just do the most we can today and make the most out of the moments god gives to us is what its all about! :) much love
I went through a terrible breakup this June. And I thought my life was over, it was tough for a few months. but I’m on the other side now and can fully appreciate the good and see why it didn’t work. I wish you the best nick. We got you bro, rooting for ya
I really appreciate the openness and the self reflection on how you acted in the relationship too. this was so relatable and it’s nice to hear I’m not alone.
Just want to say how much we appreciate you Nick, you’re one of the most down to earth guys. When I watch you I actually feel like ur another homie. Hoping for the best. Stay strong Nick, you owe it to yourself.
In light of the recent PRED situation. Thank u niac. As a fly on the wall we UNDERSTAND that u don’t have to tell us shiiii but we thank u bc we relate and r u here for u.
The feeling about living a mundane life is due to thinking everyone else lives a super exciting life while you aren't usually made worse by social media because social media is only highlights. you have to find excitement in everyday tasks. Drinking, partying, clubbing, and chillin at kickbacks is overrated anyways. you can chill with friends outside of drinking, but can be made harder if your friends only hangout and drink. find a passion/hobby to do with no expectation of being good or making money. also take time to heal, feel your emotions, and find yourself.
Yeah that’s why I honestly stay off social media as much as possible. It can be a mirror of your insecurities if you let it. Life and relationships are really complex. I hope maniac does well
Thank you Maniac, I'm going thru things in my life too and hearing you talk about your lifes hardships in a weird way makes me feel like im not in this alone.
The hardest part is the animals and house that you have to deal with. Love you Niac! Life will slowly get better and you will notice you start to feel better
The segment where Nick was talking for like 20 minutes straight about his relationship, you just know he need it, he needed it out of his system. NiaC, you got this! keep fighting, keep working on yourself!
this has been my past few months. watching the podcast has helped alot, was my most watched pod on youtube. we're all here niac going thru it with you brotha.
It gets better 100%. But it does suck happening. I had that exact same situation as Niac, but then I found my career, now wife and soon to be family. Happiness is on the horizon
Keep your head up Niac, I wish you nothing but the best man. You gonna come back stronger than ever. I’ll be praying for you and I hope you find peace.
In my prayers Nick. Something extremely, and I mean extremely, similar happened to me 2.5 months ago, still going through it, but I pray you two can cross paths again, come together and figure it out.
this was a beautiful episode what u went through was very similar to your situation and it helped me a lot hearing you get these feelings out when i have felt them for so long and have never been able to address them but this helped me a lot realize it’s a human thing and it will happen in our lives and we have to move on and keep bettering ourselves everyday
Sorry to hear this NiaC. Cherish the good times spent don’t ponder on the bad. We are only human, constantly learning & growing. The right person for you will come when you are ready🫶
Hang in there Nick. I can really relate to nearly everything that has happened to you this year. Had the worst year of my life but it’s finally coming back around. Everyone who is going through a similar situation just know it will get better ❤️🩹
Hang in there NiaC. I went through a breakup few months ago and for the first time in forever I stayed away from coping in unhealthy way like I’ve done in the past. It was hard as shit but so worth it and I’m incredibly proud of myself. We love you big dog.
Sorry to hear about the lady Niac. It’s good to hear that your mental is still good and you’re feeling inspired to get some shit done. Reach out if you need anything bro
Same exact shit happened to me in May. It's been tough. 2 years & half years of knowing this person and living with them her for 2 years too. Excited for 2025 to have a fresh start at life
Glad to hear you coming forward, makes me feel less alone. I’m going through similar problems, lost my girl after 7 years. I was supposed to marry that girl, but watched her walk away instead. Learned the most about what a relationship takes at the very end. Emotional immaturity I guess is what I’d call it
NiaC, I'm glad your here with us "the green wall". Believe it or not the struggles your going through are helping thousands. I truly am sorry ya gotta feel this pain. But we out here feeling it too bro. Love yalls. GW4L
The dog situation leaves so much room for you to be hurt again man if you love her do everything you can to get her back but if you wanna get her out of your head Chewy isn’t helping
Man I went through similar situation Niac and I was absolutely defeated. After listening to this I say you handled/ are handling this very well and I’m happy to see it. Everything happens for a a reason; you’ll find the one. Also gotta also say hitch is such a good friend man. The way he just listens to Niac talk about wth is going on and occasionally adding his opinion to what he’s saying
Been 2 years since my last compliment. Was driving and these 2 girls pulled up at a red light, I’m vibin, just got a haircut, they were yelling at me, look over they say “damn you’re cute, then eyeeessss” and I was so thrown off. Told them they were beautiful and made my day, drove off. 2 years since man. Lmao
good to hear nick, got out of a two year relationship that was a mutual breakup thing n been learning about myself from the experience but also from others; were gonna be okay tho
We've been there Niac trust man dont ever think your alone man that's one thing guarantee. You can question it but lots of us struggling tough. We just gotta keep going man.
37:40 Lmao, that speaks for pretty much every cat in existence. Except when they demand attention, then you damn well better give them attention or there will be HELL to pay!
Been there brother just keep your head up. Been in a similar situation with the dogs, a court of law tip is that whoever paid for them more will most likely win. So if you paid for grooming appointments and care then you can get both.
Thanks for sharing your life as much as you do Niac, glad to see you didn’t go off the grid on the fans. Looking forward to the flycast doing better in 2025 🎉
Nick feels like he’d be a part of my friend group. Works out, good guy, did too many drugs at some point, just wants to succeed but isn’t sure how. Talking about his issues is the healthiest thing he can do. Wish him the best. Separating my two dogs would break my heart. They’re not related. One is 12 and the other is 10. You’d think it was mother and her baby
Physical pain, loneliness and coping. Sucks. I feel ya. "Chipotle by myself" felt. Really felt, as a woman, you'd think being independent rocks. While you can support yourself. Everything else dips. Being a person wanting to get off of meds. I totally understand the "dealing with it to the heart" sober, entirely, habits change, outings,hobbies, socialization. This is a real therapy session. 😭
Niac has gotten so good at opening up and that means an awful lot to the fans man.
Niac always so relatable to the masses. We all been in this situation and the way he expresses what he took away from the relationship resonates heavily!
I agree man. Dealt with bad relationships, drug addiction, and other stuff that Niac has. Kind of refreshing to see someone that understands the struggle
Can we give hitch props for being such a good best friend to maniac and always being there for him
Sorry to hear about that Niac, it sounded like a healthy relationship that both of you can learn and grow from
Nick bro ima be honest if it’s about the love for the dogs it’s either you get both dogs or she does. That would be in the best interest of the dogs
facts
What I was thinking when he was talking about that. I’ve raised my two puppies together I couldn’t imagine separating them
Yeah, Seems selfish if Nick takes 1 imo. 1 is a house with a garden... 1 is a no garden appartment
@@Byngntbtbfbf12 shes not keeping the house brother
Nahhh bro I would literally kill me to separate my animals. Human companionship is alright but they really need another animal around..
This was therapy for Nick but fk it felt like a therapy session I needed to experience through him. Thank you boys 10/10 ep
Maniac spitting real facts. Going through a break up(2 years) now, had to live with her for 3 weeks after. Had to bury my sister during that time as well, car totaled same week. All while being sober as well gods tested me the past month and a half. Well get through this together bro.

@@Eric310-mk9pw thanks means a lot
@@iwanttobeonASF i appreciate you
One foot in front of the other no matter what. Praying for you keep your mind right during this challenging time. ❤
We’ve all been there Nick, the brightest days are still ahead brother
Nick I’m 33, I been wit yall for a minute (OpTic )
And I felt everything you said.
Love you man
Great job Dr. Hitch. He is blessed to have you as a friend. My favorite duo❤️❤️
Hearing nick talk about the sad things going on in his life @ 16:40 and hearing Shotzzy laughing in the background is hilarious
yea because hes a joke. His whole shtick is making people feel sorry for him, shits old but enjoy bro hes a great role model be just like him see how that works
That shit got me too bro! Fucking had me laughing
@@DooDooInvaduR quit your yappin buster
@@freezysubzero7 :)
@@DooDooInvaduRyou are a weirdo
Some of the best advice I got was that it's always you and her VS the problem, not you vs her. Keep going Niac.
Dude I’m so proud of maniac man. He’s seriously a man I listen to and have learned from. Life’s can be so similar.
MANIAC- i feel you bro. currently being kicked out of one place and moving to another one in the dead winter. searching for a new full time job while i build content creation. you and all the optic boys are a huge inspiration. just do the most we can today and make the most out of the moments god gives to us is what its all about! :) much love
Amen
amen brother
Subbed to you, send it dude, don't give up

hitch and niac are such gems in the community. absolute gentlemen
Never stop this podcast. Its always been a weekly therapy pod for me
This is more relatable to Nick than he may realize. This episode was so perfect
I really appreciate the openness and the self reflection on how you acted in the relationship too. this was so relatable and it’s nice to hear I’m not alone.
You'll look back in a couple years and realize this was a huge upgrade in your life. You got this man ❤
Just want to say how much we appreciate you Nick, you’re one of the most down to earth guys. When I watch you I actually feel like ur another homie. Hoping for the best. Stay strong Nick, you owe it to yourself.
A girl I worked with complimented my eye brows once like 8 years ago and I still think about it sometimes
After the therapy session this was one of the funniest pods in a minute. Thank you guys!

Thank you Maniac, I'm going thru things in my life too and hearing you talk about your lifes hardships in a weird way makes me feel like im not in this alone.
Going through a lot of the same shit as Niac since oct so hearing someone like Niac been honest like this was pretty dope to hear
Thank you for being so vulnerable publically.
Been looking forward to this one. Hope niac is doing well.
The hardest part is the animals and house that you have to deal with. Love you Niac! Life will slowly get better and you will notice you start to feel better
Bro the end of the pod is absolute perfection 😂😂😂
Bruh, I can relate to this episode too well. Thank you for this guys, I needed this almost as much as Maniac did.
Truly are cheering for you Niac and hope you keep up the progress you've made.
I found this very therapeutic myself. Big up Niac and Hitch, I hope the best for both of you.

Self sabotage sucks. From personal experience.
this has been my past few months. watching the podcast has helped alot, was my most watched pod on youtube. we're all here niac going thru it with you brotha.
Man such a real ass episode that hits, so spot on.
big love to you bro
Hang in there. I’ve went through this 2 years ago with a 15+ yr relationship. It’s tough, stay busy is the best way to get through this.
Man hope you’re doing okay. It’ll all be fine. Going through a breakup right now it ain’t easy. This vid helped a lot
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
I’m 13 minutes in and this is one of my fav episodes so far
Not like we know you on a personal level. But can definitely see the growth in just the few years we’ve seen you online. Wishing you the best
We’ve all been there bro, ur handling it better than I did
It gets better 100%. But it does suck happening. I had that exact same situation as Niac, but then I found my career, now wife and soon to be family. Happiness is on the horizon
This was a great listen. Niac always relatable.
Nick gotta do a crazy zyzz transformation video. Straight hardstyle vibes
The guy on the couch makes me feel drained holy ffffffff 😂😂😂😂
Keep your head up Niac, I wish you nothing but the best man. You gonna come back stronger than ever. I’ll be praying for you and I hope you find peace.
Never stop Love the pod as always
I relate to nick so much i feel for ya bro ❤
In my prayers Nick. Something extremely, and I mean extremely, similar happened to me 2.5 months ago, still going through it, but I pray you two can cross paths again, come together and figure it out.
Hey Niac, went through a really bad breakup this year myself. Just gotta keep moving forward, it gets better, you’ll grind this year and go crazy
My girlfriend of 8 years broke up with me about 2 months ago. I feel you, Niac. Keep being strong bro
Hitch You’re THE man
this was a beautiful episode what u went through was very similar to your situation and it helped me a lot hearing you get these feelings out when i have felt them for so long and have never been able to address them but this helped me a lot realize it’s a human thing and it will happen in our lives and we have to move on and keep bettering ourselves everyday
