What makes the frame work are a few things. 1. It’s completely flat and the hardware is in a separate box. 2. It’s a matte screen so it isn’t reflective. 3. It’s designed to be low powered and not use a ton of electricity running all day. As you said. The frame isn’t the frame because of the frame, it’s everything else they did to engineer a tv to do what it does.
I understand buying one because reusable metal water bottles are useful. The collecting multiple colors (more than one and a spare) I don’t understand.
The biggest thing about the Frame TVs is that they aren't shiny. That matte finish both helps prevent glare on the picture and also makes it look like an actual picture.
the spectrum of "deinfluencing" from "a regular tv literally can't work as a frame tv" to "i just think corncob tables are stupid" was certainly a journey lmao
As a certified wine-drinking french girlie I find the wine display stupid because that's not an optimal method of wine conservation. Ideally a cave is the better choice but storing them in a cabinet is perfectly fine too 🙄
Thank you for saying it out loud, Nick! Stanley cups are awful! I'm a teacher, and if I had $1 for every time one of those behemoths clanged to the floor and spilled everywhere, I would ha e retired last Christmas.
UV light can actually cause a reaction in the wine that changes the taste of it. Which is one reason why people who handle wine professionally keep it in the dark whenever possible. I always cringe when I see one of these silly displays.
10:56 - the whole point of those reusable water bottles was to eliminate unnecessary waste. So rock on, Swell circa 2017! Replacing them every year with the "it" reusable bottle is terrible for the planet.
Yup! I had a waterbotte I lost in the 2010s. Was so sad about that! Only reason I bought a watrrbottle was cause I saw one I liked (not a Stanley lol). And if I can help it, I'm not buying a new one
Here! Here! My waterbottle got stolen at school 😢 so I bought 2 custom coloured ones with my name engraved so no one else would bother. Hopefully will have these the rest of my life! I just don't understand why people felt like they or their kids needed so many??
Not to mention, buying one in every shade defeats the purpose of their alleged sustainability, and the aftermarket accessories are so tween-girl. I'm still using a metal bottle that I've had for at least 10 years.
I unsubscribed from another ID YT’er recently because 99% of her videos are Amazon finds in the style she does her home in. Her older vids had advice for all styles & were really enjoyable. She’s still enjoyable but the content isn’t.
@@michellem3879 I think that is the same one I’ve unsubscribed from. I agree her early videos were great but it seems every video is one long ad and no design. I know making a living is important but I feel her design element has become absent now. 😢
@@michellem3879I think I know who you mean and I have come close to unsubscribing too. Endless videos of “hauls” make me feel gross. Most of us enjoy getting the occasional new thing but the overconsumption is ridiculous and irresponsible. No one needs that many vases and throw blankets.
As someone who drives for a living, I find the form factor of the Stanley cups ideal for my daily 5-6 hours on the road. No fiddling with water bottle caps, fits in the cup holder, holds enough water to get me through my work day. Is my giant water cup an actual Stanley? lol no, I'm not dropping $50 on a cup. I have a $20 knockoff.
ok nick if u wont say it i will i do think a lot of those amazon influencers are doing something wrong. i dont mind when ppl have affiliate link programs even with amazon which i try to not use as much as possible bc of their working conditions and environmental contributions. but its almost unavoidable sometimes. but whats not unavoidable is these excessive hauls and constantly encouraging ppl to buy new stuff. i think at some point we need to start telling people to get a real job because constantly opening amazon packages that will end up in the trash next year is not one. i think affiliate programs need to be used how you do it, you're actually doing people a service with your recs and tips.
Getting things that were dropshipped through cargo, then shipped via plane, then delivered to the door with a delivery car, only for a 30s video ? That's nightmarish pollution for virtually nothing.
Ideally, yes. But who will establish the line between consumption and overconsumption? It'll be an endless battle as to how much stuff is the "right" amount to have. Unfortunately it's up to consumers to determine their appropriate level of consumption bc, as long as people stand to make money off of something, most are not going to stop promoting it. It sucks.
I think the beard is a great addition. The colour really ties into the rest of your hair, making it cohesive, and adding another hair zone makes the face a lot cozier. Well done getting a beard that's large enough for your mouth, a lot of people make the mistake of getting one that's too small and it just makes the whole thing look kinda crampt and odd. I'm a big believer in beards, they add comfort, they add luxury, they break up the space, they're just absolutely beautiful and timeless.

I'm totally with you on rejecting the vulgar display of wealth of wine stations (and wine snobbery in general). As an Italian, I think it's pathetic that wine, and any knowledge of it, has become a status symbol. And that's especially the case here in north America, let's face it. In my grandparents days, even the poorest people drank wine, most of those who had a patch of land made their own, and no one felt the need to have expensive wine in their cupboard to show off their wealth and social status. It needs to stop.
If I came across that in person, without ever having seen this video, I'd assume it was a prop/joke/attempt at 'art'. Definitely would not take it seriously.
To get a good wine temperature when entertaining I follow the 30 minute rule taught to me by a sommelier: Store white wine in the fridge and take it out 30 mins before serving. Store red wine in a cupboard and put in the fridge 30 min before serving. You're welcome!
In places with warm weather, 30 minutes is more than enough to make your white whine tastes like hot soup and you'll need a wine cooler to avoid that or to keep your wine in the frigde if you don't have one.

My Samsung frame is 5 years old, so not the newest tech, but every tradesperson that comes into my home doesn’t realize it’s a TV. And it makes me smile every time.
My mom regrets not paying the few hundred euros extra now. She really wanted one and on the day their tv broke I went to the store with my dad. A Samsung with similar specs was cheaper so I called her & she went for the cheaper one. And in this family we don’t replace items until they’re broken beyond repair.
I almost woke my hubby up laughing at this too. Maybe I shouldn’t be watching Nick videos while he us sleeping. Lol Nick, as always, thanks for the entertainment. I do love your decorating ideas, unless of course you are making fun of something that I have in my house. Like a boatload of boob lights. But let’s admit it, I also watch you for your making me laugh. Everyone needs a good laugh. And it can be at corn cob tables or floating lights.
Thanks for speaking truth. We seriously don't need ever trendy thing out there. What happened to having your own personal taste instead of copy and pasting what's popular
“Then we can’t be friends”. Love this episode. Because I’m older and live in a regular neighborhood, I can’t imagine people having or wanting to have that much wine. Or having food footstools. Or the bar carts in their house (we quit drinking when we children). Yes, I have my quirks like yard art, but it’s behind a fence. I think the media is responsible for most of those items. I remember certain items back over the years that were aimed at certain age groups. The expensive stereo systems that took up entire walls. I’m never impressed with what others have. I just don’t want my space to look like everyone else’s.
Amazon is kind of the modern day Christmas catalogue. As soon as it came in you started looking through it to see a bunch of ridiculous things you didn't need but would help create the wish list so your parents could figure out your gifts. Then as you grew up it sent you down the rabbit hole of things like those lights so you could find something for the person that had you stumped. Now it's 24/7 and all year long which takes the fun out of it. I miss the catalogues.
Not really a beard person but yours looks great. I love that you remind people that just because some influencer has something doesn't mean you need it. Also, most of fun of having these items doesn't last very long and will, likely, end up in a thrift shop or landfill.
I don’t have a Stanley Cup nor have I tried one either. I actually have an older Camelback that I use: However, I think Stanley Cup users should be encouraged to use their Stanley Cups forever. That way they won’t end up in a landfill and get replaced by the newest best thing.
I don't have a Stanley cup, we do have the original old school Stanley thurms and it's fantastic, it's definitely well over a decade old and we plan on keeping it forever, it has a lifetime guarantee so it really is meant to last forever 😊
I enjoy your advice on practicality and being sensible and not following the trend. That’s what I come here for! There are just few who are realistic in their approach and you are one of them on TH-cam who is not afraid to speak your mind ❤
I stopped buying from Amazon about two years ago and relearned that I could actually get everything I need locally and it doesn't make my life worse. I'm glad Nick spent some time chatting about how big of a grip Amazon has on our society, I think we need to be aware of our consumption and how much we are influenced to buy.
I feel like Nick got stressed by the move and being around all-white walls for a prolonged period of time. So now his assessments of these stupid trends are extra venemous. Love it 😆
Comedy and interior design in one! You have the best channel ever, I never miss a video, and "Apple Store of wine" is hysterical. As for the beard - as you always say, "you do you." If it's scratchy and itchy, get rid of it. If not, you can definitely rock it. Thank you for making me laugh today. 😂
“I’m in my boxed wine era” is just the best attitude! I trained my palate to appreciate Aldi’s cheapest red. Worked well for me. A little too well maybe 😂. Now I’ve trained it to prefer water ❤
THANK YOU for calling out the stanley cups...they are so ridiculous! the little charms and straw stoppers and oh my goodness I don't understand the craze. Honorable mention to the cob side table...I don't even need to say anything about it you covered it all and it pretty much speaks for itself. love your videos and the beard is 🔥!
Oh those Stanley cups… my 11 yr old granddaughter has 3 in all different colors, at $40 each. Thank you social media for allowing her to think she needs one, let alone 3. And this Mimi is happy to say she didn’t buy them.
The voice of experience says when she is 62 and looking forward to working for 5 more years until she can afford to retire, she’ll reflect back on the 100’s of dollars she spent for years on goo gas and things now gone that could’ve been saved to buy something that she really wants or needs, like a nice place to live, or a wonderful trip, or a flight to visit her mimi. Or starting a business . . . But maybe she’ll become independently wealthy somehow, or marry well, and finances won’t be a concern for her in the future.
I'm a college prof and my department has quite the collection of Stanley cups that students have forgotten to take with them after class or lab. So many that we may auction them off as a fundraiser. They are heavy and awkward. Give me my old school travel mugs any day.
Reg. stupid things we don't need. I work in a kitchen store, the sheer amount of junk gadgets that exist is mind boggling. Sometimes a random item becomes popular because some cheff on tv used it and people come looking for it. Every time all I want to say is "ok, what it whong with a knife?" or "you know you can do that with a spoon?". And in reality those gadgets aren't doing anything better than a knife/spoon/spatula.
I saw someone online call the whole corn cob stool trend or making your radiator into a giant Hi-C juice box "Big Preschool Design" and I'll never not think that now 🤣
I love your videos so much. They never get old. You crack me up because you just say all the quiet parts out loud and somehow you have read my mind!!!!
The only exception to the Stanley is if you happen to have the old OG Stanley your grandpa took out on the fishing boat every weekend. Then we're cool.
I’m not even a hockey fan, but when you said get rid of the Stanley cup I immediately thought you were talking about theme room (sport) decor. I’m obviously from Canada.
A year and a half ago my younger daughter was talking about the Stanley Cup I had in my closet that I was going to give my other daughter for Christmas. I had forgotten that I had bought this cup, and I had the most bizarre, hilarious conversation with her until I figured out she was referring to the type of cup I had bought, not a hockey trophy. Our Uber driver was laughing and trying to hide it. Apparently, he knew what a Stanley Cup was. I once got to actually see and touch the Stanley Cup so, even though I’m not a hockey fan, it holds a special place in my heart
I've been watching your channel and couldn't decide how I felt about you. Many designers tend to come across as elitist and phony. They may care about their craft but at the end of the day it's about image. Your honesty today about the Stanley Cup won me over. Now I know you're the real deal! Rock on!
I love you for the inside info you provide on how Influencers make money, and for having the integrity to only promote things YOU love instead of selling your soul to Amazon. Keep it up. I look forward every one of your videos!
I am a huge proponent of finding the right water bottle for you. If a stanley cup gets you to drink more water, fantastic! If it's a yeti, perfect. If it's a sports bottle from Walmart, great! Mine personally is essentially a 2l sippy cup with a frozen stick in the middle. Nobody needs to follow water trends, they just need the thing that makes them drink the damn water.
“Not willing to listen to any constructive criticism regarding my appearance…” That’s why we love you ❤ New look is a keeper (I’ll speak for the office gals) 😂
I think in general people have way too much stuff and they don't need most of it. It is so easy to spend your money without leaving your home. Save your money. Congrats on the new house!! 🏡
Me too. I always wonder why people are hating on the Stanley Cup in a month where hockey isn't even being played. I missed the Stanley water cup thing altogether, for which I am truly grateful.
Fresh change, fresh face, new adventures!....I think it's awesome!....Is it odd that the first thing I noticed, " where's the clock?".... but, then you said you moved... Congratulations!!...Look forward to all your new videos!
You really rock the beard! My family are just getting through our daughter being diagnosed with autism (and then me, and my husband was already presumed...) and just had the light bulb go on that if we are not normal people, why do we automatically do all the normal people stuff with our house, and why don't we just figure out what works for us, or doesn't, and keep/get rid of things on that basis. Life got weirder, and so much easier! Stanley cups (not that I could really afford one anyways, but whatever) were always a hard no from me, exactly because of the teeny tiny base and big wide top--I'm a klutz, water is heavy, and the laws of physics aren't optional, you know?
Congratulations Nick on your new home!!! I absolutely love your videos. Your humor and bluntness are the best😁. They are definitely inspiring me. I was wondering if you could do a video about updating an older home. Mine was build in 1973 and has wood paneling. They are not dark thank goodness but I want to paint them a much lighter color to help my home feel bigger. It’s 1,266 sq feet.
This comment is actually for another video, but I just wanted to say that I am decluttering my (actually tiny) apartment for days now, accompanied by binchwatching your videos. It feels like a neverending project and I moved here only a year ago. But my bed is out of the corner and in der middle of the wall now and it makes a huge difference. I feel like now I am a proud bedowner. Not someone who's ashamed and tries to hide that I have a bed. (It's still on the floor though with a slated frame. Deciding for a bed is so hard.)
My beard and I would like to thank all of my new channel members that just joined!!
I love the beard!!! And you crack me up!!
Your humor.... BIG ❤
❤❤ love the beard. Suits your face shape and it's sexy ❤❤
🧔👍
Sorry, don't like the beard. The gray at the temples looks much more distinguished without the beard.
You've added texture to you face, which always makes a space more interesting and cozy. This is simply doing as you say.
And cohesive. Always repeat a colour and play with contrasts. But the rug should be half way under the chair, now it is too small.
I love the beard, you wear it well!
Good comment 😂

What makes the frame work are a few things.
1. It’s completely flat and the hardware is in a separate box.
2. It’s a matte screen so it isn’t reflective.
3. It’s designed to be low powered and not use a ton of electricity running all day.
As you said. The frame isn’t the frame because of the frame, it’s everything else they did to engineer a tv to do what it does.
"Should I stay in my lane? No, because I don't want to" is my favorite bit!
Yesss, reminds me why i love this channel
Bro is a stone cold legend
I do like the confident snarkiness with no apologies.

Yes!!! 😂 was going say same thing. Please don’t stay in your lane ever!!
We need that clock behind you otherwise this video is pointless 😅
Yeah how can you make a video when it’s not 12:20pm
🤣
Yeah it's coming!
LOL
And I don't know what time it is...
I finally feel HEARD about the Stanley cup epidemic. It’s just a cup. I’ve had it
Lol. When I first heard "Stanley Cup" I thought it was a limited edition NHL item. Color me surprised when I learned it was... a cup.
I understand buying one because reusable metal water bottles are useful. The collecting multiple colors (more than one and a spare) I don’t understand.
And the dupes are absolutely fine! I have much better things to spend money on!
For real they’re very stupid. It’s literally just a thermos cup thingy. 😂
It is completely ridiculous. I like my $:75 cent goodwill bottles because if i lose them its no big deal. Whereas those Stanley cups are expensive.
"I'm stuck in 2017 like a good millenial" caught me off guard 😅. I feel seen and judged at the same time.
same!!! 🤣 It really was peak millennial era
Same here😆
The biggest thing about the Frame TVs is that they aren't shiny. That matte finish both helps prevent glare on the picture and also makes it look like an actual picture.
Exactly!
Exactly what I was thinking.
It also has a lower refresh rate that helps with power consumption and lifespan.
Also, the Frame TV is really thin. By adding a DIY frame around a regular TV, you're just adding more bulk to it.
And when they're in "art mode", they're very dimly lit, kind of like a kindle. They're not a bright ass TV with a screen saver.
the spectrum of "deinfluencing" from "a regular tv literally can't work as a frame tv" to "i just think corncob tables are stupid" was certainly a journey lmao
As a certified wine-drinking french girlie I find the wine display stupid because that's not an optimal method of wine conservation. Ideally a cave is the better choice but storing them in a cabinet is perfectly fine too 🙄
That was my first thought. Those people don't know anything about wine.
I always think that when I see these cabinets. I don't want to drink anything that's been there
Exactly, cool and dark is better for preservation.
As an Italian, I want to thank you for this comment 👏👏👏
French guy here, I was gonna write the same ^^
cheers🍷
The hair and the beard are super adorable!
Thank you so much!

He looks GOOD with a beard 😂. I know he's off the market for the ladies but here's to snagging a new man! 😉
LOVE the beard!!
It's a great look, but "adorable" is not a word I would use to describe Nick. 😂 Too sarcastic for adorable.
Thank you for saying it out loud, Nick! Stanley cups are awful! I'm a teacher, and if I had $1 for every time one of those behemoths clanged to the floor and spilled everywhere, I would ha e retired last Christmas.
YES!!! 😂
I find them kinda silly too and it looks so unpractical! But I am Europian and only carry a very small water bottle with if any. I drink home :D
The first thing I thought when the Stanley cups took off was how thankful I am I'm not teaching anymore.
They're leaky trash. The Simple Modern cups are better and come in 24oz, which seems much more appropriate for a child.
Pro tip--- Store your wine in a cool, dark place. The show-piece wine storage under lights says, "I have WAY more money than sense."
True. Logically one would think less sense = less money. But life is strange.
UV light can actually cause a reaction in the wine that changes the taste of it. Which is one reason why people who handle wine professionally keep it in the dark whenever possible. I always cringe when I see one of these silly displays.
Yes, those displays show how ignorant they are about how to properly store wine.
It really is just for show 😂😂😂😂
Glad you are over the wine snobbery. You can enjoy wine without being a wine snob. Love the beard!
“Is it home decor? No. Should I stay in my lane? No. Because I don’t want to.” Perfect…
Also big fan of the facial hair! Good call, Nick!
This really made me laugh!

Many people purchase the linked item and continue shopping. The influencer receives money for all those items too. That's the big payoff.

I almost fell off my chair! "ricky, ricky, ricky". !!!
I almost woke my hubby up laughing at this too. Maybe I shouldn’t be watching Nick videos while he us sleeping. Lol Nick, as always, thanks for the entertainment. I do love your decorating ideas, unless of course you are making fun of something that I have in my house. Like a boatload of boob lights. But let’s admit it, I also watch you for your making me laugh. Everyone needs a good laugh. And it can be at corn cob tables or floating lights.
which minute please?

Thanks for speaking truth. We seriously don't need ever trendy thing out there. What happened to having your own personal taste instead of copy and pasting what's popular
“Then we can’t be friends”. Love this episode. Because I’m older and live in a regular neighborhood, I can’t imagine people having or wanting to have that much wine. Or having food footstools. Or the bar carts in their house (we quit drinking when we children). Yes, I have my quirks like yard art, but it’s behind a fence. I think the media is responsible for most of those items. I remember certain items back over the years that were aimed at certain age groups. The expensive stereo systems that took up entire walls. I’m never impressed with what others have. I just don’t want my space to look like everyone else’s.
I find your videos rather addicting. I am boomer, happy with my simple decor, but you make me laugh every time. Thank you. Love the beard!
Same here. Nick's snark always cheers me up.
The beard works.
I love the line "the problem is it's stupid" 😊
Amazon is kind of the modern day Christmas catalogue. As soon as it came in you started looking through it to see a bunch of ridiculous things you didn't need but would help create the wish list so your parents could figure out your gifts. Then as you grew up it sent you down the rabbit hole of things like those lights so you could find something for the person that had you stumped. Now it's 24/7 and all year long which takes the fun out of it. I miss the catalogues.
The Christmas Wish Book! Loved that! Miss all the catalogues too. Especially the IKEA one.
Exactly 💯 right 👍
Miss those catalogues
Keep the beard- but you look good without as well. Always fun to make a change!
Not really a beard person but yours looks great. I love that you remind people that just because some influencer has something doesn't mean you need it. Also, most of fun of having these items doesn't last very long and will, likely, end up in a thrift shop or landfill.
I love that you're in your Cardboardeaux era. 🥂
😂😂 This comment needs more upvotes cuz it’s brilliant
I don’t have a Stanley Cup nor have I tried one either. I actually have an older Camelback that I use:
However, I think Stanley Cup users should be encouraged to use their Stanley Cups forever. That way they won’t end up in a landfill and get replaced by the newest best thing.
Lol the phase has low-key already passed, a lot of them sold their cups or threw them out
Good luck with that wish.
I don't have a Stanley cup, we do have the original old school Stanley thurms and it's fantastic, it's definitely well over a decade old and we plan on keeping it forever, it has a lifetime guarantee so it really is meant to last forever 😊
”Is it home decor?
No.
Should I stay in my lane?
No.
Bc I don't want to.”
🤣🤣🤣 You bring me so much joy Nick!!
I enjoy your advice on practicality and being sensible and not following the trend. That’s what I come here for! There are just few who are realistic in their approach and you are one of them on TH-cam who is not afraid to speak your mind ❤
I stopped buying from Amazon about two years ago and relearned that I could actually get everything I need locally and it doesn't make my life worse. I'm glad Nick spent some time chatting about how big of a grip Amazon has on our society, I think we need to be aware of our consumption and how much we are influenced to buy.
I feel like Nick got stressed by the move and being around all-white walls for a prolonged period of time. So now his assessments of these stupid trends are extra venemous. Love it 😆
Love how you don’t filter! Makes you real and relatable!
Comedy and interior design in one! You have the best channel ever, I never miss a video, and "Apple Store of wine" is hysterical. As for the beard - as you always say, "you do you." If it's scratchy and itchy, get rid of it. If not, you can definitely rock it. Thank you for making me laugh today. 😂
“I’m in my boxed wine era” is just the best attitude! I trained my palate to appreciate Aldi’s cheapest red. Worked well for me. A little too well maybe 😂. Now I’ve trained it to prefer water ❤
THANK YOU for calling out the stanley cups...they are so ridiculous! the little charms and straw stoppers and oh my goodness I don't understand the craze. Honorable mention to the cob side table...I don't even need to say anything about it you covered it all and it pretty much speaks for itself. love your videos and the beard is 🔥!
Yaaass to the beard ! Also, not having the clock is weirding me out way more than I thought... 🤣
Agreed 👍 we want the (anchor) clock. My eyes keep going to its "spot" looking for it! ❤❤😢
Oh those Stanley cups… my 11 yr old granddaughter has 3 in all different colors, at $40 each. Thank you social media for allowing her to think she needs one, let alone 3. And this Mimi is happy to say she didn’t buy them.
The voice of experience says when she is 62 and looking forward to working for 5 more years until she can afford to retire, she’ll reflect back on the 100’s of dollars she spent for years on goo gas and things now gone that could’ve been saved to buy something that she really wants or needs, like a nice place to live, or a wonderful trip, or a flight to visit her mimi. Or starting a business . . . But maybe she’ll become independently wealthy somehow, or marry well, and finances won’t be a concern for her in the future.
I'm a college prof and my department has quite the collection of Stanley cups that students have forgotten to take with them after class or lab. So many that we may auction them off as a fundraiser. They are heavy and awkward. Give me my old school travel mugs any day.
@@terriellis3697auction them and give the money to a good cause. And who forgets a $40 cup behind?????
Reg. stupid things we don't need. I work in a kitchen store, the sheer amount of junk gadgets that exist is mind boggling. Sometimes a random item becomes popular because some cheff on tv used it and people come looking for it. Every time all I want to say is "ok, what it whong with a knife?" or "you know you can do that with a spoon?". And in reality those gadgets aren't doing anything better than a knife/spoon/spatula.
When you said Stanley Cup, I gasped in horror. For this Canadian there is only one STANLEY CUP and it is sacred!
Yeah. How dare they?
I saw someone online call the whole corn cob stool trend or making your radiator into a giant Hi-C juice box "Big Preschool Design" and I'll never not think that now 🤣
Great description. Now I'll never not think that, either! It DOES have preschool/kindergarten vibes.
“I’m in my boxed wine era” - I love this for you!
Your new beard helps you look super sophisticated and adds $$$$ to your decor advice.
“I’m stuck in 2017 like a good Millenial”. 😂😂😂
Same, Nick. Same.
Nice one calling out "giant wine areas" - you nailed the reasons, too.
I'll say this again, I thought l came for the design advice. Nick's dry humor wins EVERY TIME!! The beard wins as well!❤
I am so not into the Stanley brand cup thing that I immediately thought that Nick was attacking the NHL's Stanley Cup hockey trophy.
me too 😂
Same!
Me too!!
😂
I know about the Stanley brand, but still thought about hockey things first 😂
Boxed wine era. 🤣🤣🤣 This is why I come back to you over and over. You make this boring treadmill so much more enjoyable.
"fine, then, we can't be friends" L O L the bar cart wheels sound at the end had me laughing pretty hard.
Your bar cart imitation “ ricki ricki ricki “ cracks me up EVERY time ! You are so cleaver.
Why am I only finding your channel now and why aren’t we best friends? This deinfluencing series is quite the vibe and it needs to be shared.
I love your videos so much. They never get old. You crack me up because you just say all the quiet parts out loud and somehow you have read my mind!!!!
“Should I stay in my lane? No!” That’s the beard talking! Lol!
Nick - Your new look IS WORKING FOR YOU!! Love your videos and design advice.
The only exception to the Stanley is if you happen to have the old OG Stanley your grandpa took out on the fishing boat every weekend. Then we're cool.
We have that thermos! It has to have a couple of dents from rolling out of the truck, though😂
We have one as well, it's fantastic. We are planning on keeping it forever ☺️😊😊
Honesty, sarcastically honest and funny and entertaining, mom's inner voice channelled, but all makes sense!
I’m not even a hockey fan, but when you said get rid of the Stanley cup I immediately thought you were talking about theme room (sport) decor. I’m obviously from Canada.
Hahaha me too!!
Me, three!! 😂
(But, I do like hockey...)
Me 4 😂
A year and a half ago my younger daughter was talking about the Stanley Cup I had in my closet that I was going to give my other daughter for Christmas. I had forgotten that I had bought this cup, and I had the most bizarre, hilarious conversation with her until I figured out she was referring to the type of cup I had bought, not a hockey trophy. Our Uber driver was laughing and trying to hide it. Apparently, he knew what a Stanley Cup was.
I once got to actually see and touch the Stanley Cup so, even though I’m not a hockey fan, it holds a special place in my heart
Ok, I'm so not alone here!
😂 Nicks comment if this was someone else’s beard -“ look, it’s not my beard and I don’t have to kiss you, so you do you…” 😂😂
I've been watching your channel and couldn't decide how I felt about you. Many designers tend to come across as elitist and phony. They may care about their craft but at the end of the day it's about image. Your honesty today about the Stanley Cup won me over. Now I know you're the real deal! Rock on!
PS: You look great with or without a beard.
The corncob table makes me want to floss.
😂😂😂😂😂 me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't like the unsettling bite taken out of it
I love you for the inside info you provide on how Influencers make money, and for having the integrity to only promote things YOU love instead of selling your soul to Amazon. Keep it up. I look forward every one of your videos!
Your videos bring me so much joy and are also helpful and appreciated. I also support the facial hair!
I am a huge proponent of finding the right water bottle for you. If a stanley cup gets you to drink more water, fantastic! If it's a yeti, perfect. If it's a sports bottle from Walmart, great! Mine personally is essentially a 2l sippy cup with a frozen stick in the middle. Nobody needs to follow water trends, they just need the thing that makes them drink the damn water.
totally agree - for me it has been my Blender Bottle.
Okay, Nick, you’ve done it. The wine “area” thing tipped it….this is now the best video you’ve ever done. Bravo!
Just found your channel yesterday. I LOVE how honest and down to earth you are. And yes, the beard works for you. Very nice!
“Not willing to listen to any constructive criticism regarding my appearance…”
That’s why we love you ❤
New look is a keeper (I’ll speak for the office gals) 😂
I think in general people have way too much stuff and they don't need most of it. It is so easy to spend your money without leaving your home. Save your money.
Congrats on the new house!! 🏡
i love that you don’t constantly show us amazon links and that you’re vocal about not necessarily liking it for shopping!
When you started talking about the Stanley Cup, I thought you were talking about hockey. 😂🤦♀️
I've made that mistake before as well!
He is Canadian after all.
Me too. I always wonder why people are hating on the Stanley Cup in a month where hockey isn't even being played. I missed the Stanley water cup thing altogether, for which I am truly grateful.
"Food related furniture" lol I think that basically says it all. I love the beard!
Love the new look, it really works for you at this length.
Fresh change, fresh face, new adventures!....I think it's awesome!....Is it odd that the first thing I noticed, " where's the clock?".... but, then you said you moved...
Congratulations!!...Look forward to all your new videos!
I'm adding "drink fridge-chilled wine with Nick and trash decor styles all night" to my bucket list. 😂☠️
Great idea!
I LOVE my frame tv. Everyone thinks it’s art and thinks it’s so cool. I love being able to change and enjoy the art seasonally.
You really rock the beard! My family are just getting through our daughter being diagnosed with autism (and then me, and my husband was already presumed...) and just had the light bulb go on that if we are not normal people, why do we automatically do all the normal people stuff with our house, and why don't we just figure out what works for us, or doesn't, and keep/get rid of things on that basis. Life got weirder, and so much easier!
Stanley cups (not that I could really afford one anyways, but whatever) were always a hard no from me, exactly because of the teeny tiny base and big wide top--I'm a klutz, water is heavy, and the laws of physics aren't optional, you know?
Plus the Stanley cups are ugly. 😂
Congratulations Nick on your new home!!! I absolutely love your videos. Your humor and bluntness are the best😁. They are definitely inspiring me. I was wondering if you could do a video about updating an older home. Mine was build in 1973 and has wood paneling. They are not dark thank goodness but I want to paint them a much lighter color to help my home feel bigger. It’s 1,266 sq feet.
This video is why I stay subscribed and watching. They’re just good. Just a good quality video with clear effort. Thank you!
NICK I LOVE YOU FOR THE STANLEY CUP COMMENTARY
Love it !!!
I agree with the ridiculous indulgence that people feel the need to share. I don't care what you have or don't have
This comment is actually for another video, but I just wanted to say that I am decluttering my (actually tiny) apartment for days now, accompanied by binchwatching your videos. It feels like a neverending project and I moved here only a year ago. But my bed is out of the corner and in der middle of the wall now and it makes a huge difference. I feel like now I am a proud bedowner. Not someone who's ashamed and tries to hide that I have a bed. (It's still on the floor though with a slated frame. Deciding for a bed is so hard.)
The corncob table looks like something from a pediatrician office waiting room play area.
Nick in his beard era 😎 I'm here for it!
