Nick Rekieta is a non-practicing lawyer from central Minnesota whose specialty areas are drinking, degeneracy, and (drunkenly/druggedly) driving his children to their innumerable homeschool extracurricular activities on 1-2 hours of sleep and stimulants--(when they are not taken away by CPS). After a busy day doing… something other than law or show preparation (probably alcohol and cocaine)… he straps into a chair in a windowless room in his basement at some point after 11 PM Central, snorts a line a cocaine, pours a bottle of liquor, licks the last drop off the neck (not necessary in that order), turns on the camera, and narcissistically vents to the Internet for 3 to 5 hours about all the hardships of his life as a rich kid, turned failed lawyer, turned streamer. The litany of complaints is often interspersed with crude, sexually charged attempts at humour; edgy use of slurs; opinions of his critics and him definitely NOT caring; flirting with hot, single, and gay internet catfish named Daniel Harris; and lazy takes on week-old stale news headlines. When he feels especially daring, he selects a particular target of his ire and commits what pending litigation may adjudicate to be legal defamation.
To provide a veneer of respectability for these personal coping sessions, he makes sure to yell on increasingly stressed vocal cords about ‘free speech’, ‘liberty’, and other buzzwords and lofty ideals he uses to support his desires to tweak on drugs, alcohol, and wild swinger sex. These occurs both during and between numerous holidays to recover from the mental strain suffered from the onerous schedule of previously described domestic duties. These have a knock-on effect on his late-night streaming show—one consistently put on between 0 and 5 nights a week. Occasionally he feels the need for an encore performance and streams exclusively to a few hundred $5 USD monthly supporters from his kitchen, sunroom, or hot tub with the RAWEST takes on his personal misery and updates in his quest for a life full of Hedonism—and possibly large, African males named Ricardo and Romaine. All the drugs, swinging, alcohol, and general degeneracy eventually led to a police raid on his home and pending felony case for drug possession and child neglect.
For years, this grifter fooled the world into thinking he was a properly based, principled and religious family man, but now he is more than happy to tell you about how fake the image of his life was and the various illicit substances, testicular torsion sex toys, travel, and other numbing agents he employs to combat the pain of continued existence whilst hair follicles, liver, brain cells, and viewer numbers compete to see which of them can be the first to die off completely.
Nick was not born a cow, and for many years he had a general ‘white-pilling effect’ (as described by @Null) on the Farms and the internet Sektur through his seeming deep-rooted convictions and traditional values and lifestyle inherited from his parents and Catholic upbringing. A man deep in the bowels of IBS who still made it home in time to have dinner with his 5 kids and tuck them in with a kiss at night was endearing, but that wholesome image would unravel—taking him from ‘Trad Dad’ to ‘Wet-Brained Coomer’ (eventually 2023 LOTY) in a matter of mere months.
This is his story.
Early Life:
Nick Rekieta, born December 16th, 1981, grew up in Houston, Texas before moving to Lakeville, Minnesota at age 5 or 6 with his father’s job at Cray Computing. Notable events during that time include meeting his best friend Drexel Johnson-Yarbrough (potentially a groomer), having his transformer taken away at daycare; being forced to eat Jell-O; enduring racist police calling the black elementary children on his bus ‘niggers’; and making a ‘kill list’ of classmates he disliked—'traumas' he recounted ad nauseum and blames for ‘depression’ and lack of work motivation in the winter months—when it isn’t his heat allergy. The very same allergy, however, mysteriously vanishes when submerged in the panacean effect of a hot tub.

After graduating high school, Nick earned a degree in Creative Writing at South Minnesota State University between games of Everquest, Tae Kwon Do, male cheerleading, and slacking off in his dorm where he instituted an 'underwear-only' dress code. Nick met his future wife, Kayla by joining the cheerleading team with Drexel. Knowing the degree was worthless, he returned for Chemical Engineering afterwards (thinking his grandfather would give him an easy, high-paying job), but quit after half a semester because of the Maths. Before marriage, his plans were to party in graduate school, but after wedding, he moved to rural Minnesota near his wife’s family and into a house his parents likely purchased for them—given the value and his low income employment record for the next decade. He has admitted had a ‘safety net’ with arrangements made to have his school debts repaid (likely wealthy parents)—vehemently denying being a 'trust fund kid' in his early streaming career.

After being employed post-graduation in retail and entry-level banking positions (one of which he was fired from in 3 days), Nick returned to law school (night class) in his 30's and graduated in 2015, setting up his own practice. During the period between law school and the start of his streaming career in 2017 his family expanded to five children.

Besides Nick, there are a few key players in this cow’s story.
Kayla Christine ‘Lady Rackets’ Rekieta (nee Woltjer):
Wife to Nick, they met in university, and became ‘friends’ through cheerleading. Although they spent a lot of time together, despite Nick’s romantic interest they were not officially a couple until much later because of her recent bad relationship. To circumvent this, Nick adopted the persona of gay man—a tale which spread through their social circle and to Kayla’s parents. Eventually the façade dropped, and they married late in their university career. Speculation exists that Kayla became pregnant, thus the rush, but no evidence supports this theory. She, however, did not complete her original degree (presumably pre-med degree given expressed interest in becoming a doctor) at SMSU after 3 years, but would complete a degree in Early Childhood Education and teaching at Ridgewater College.
Kayla was introduced to show with the sobriquet ‘Lady Rackets’ (to match Nick’s moniker, ‘Rackets’), however, this was not her first introduction to the Sektur as she had attended Dick Masterson live events (Road Rages) with Nick and a 9 month-old baby at least once and accompanied Nick to the aborted Tonkasaw v. Warski fight in Knoxville. In 2024, Andy would claim that she groped him, but not further evidence has supported this claim.. In her stream debut she appeared slightly manic and over-expressive, but this was correlated initially to her theatre pursuits and many medications and substances she ingests for a plethora of self-confessed mental disorders and stress. She participates in MLMs, alternative medicinal remedies, and has a love of Star Trek and LEGO that she keeps in a shed on the Rekieta property.
She appeared more over time—eventually starting a short-lived YouTube channel of her own. Her involvement culminated in posting racy photos in Nick’s LOCALS chat room, but after receiving mockery and negative attention, she retreated from social media. The few glimpses from them until her arrest revealed she had plastic surgery (theorised to be a result of Nick’s critique of post-pregnancy bodies) that has been described as well… See for yourself…
More information about Kayla has been collected by other posters in mega-posts in the Nick Rekieta thread, and is linked for convenience. She was arrested alongside him late May 2024.
A selection of clips are below.
Drexel ‘Drex’ Yarbrough-Johnson:
Nick’s self-described ‘best friend’ and cow in his own right. Most relevant information about Drexel is contained within his own thread.
Drexel entered Nick’s life in his school days in Lakeville, Minnesota and was indifferent to him before becoming friends--presumably over nerd hobbies. They re-united in university once Drexel transferred in after a sporting injury led to a loss of scholarship. They both studied Creative Writing and after graduation went their separate ways until a blackface picture of Nick resurfaced during Weeb Wars. Nick re-connected and brought Drexel on to explain that it was a costume party joke and provide bona fides that Nick was not racist. He later became a semi-regular guest on the show with his stories of days spent in a swinger lifestyle and harsh opinions of modern women.
In 2023, he has stopped production of his own show that declaimed the whores (pun) of modern women and retreated to a private DISCORD where doxing is required to gain entry. This was done after grooming allegations were circulated based on a story that he disclosed himself. He tosses out vague hints at a return to the camera spotlight, but nothing has happened as of late-2024.
Bob and Celeste Rekieta:
Bob and Celeste Rekieta have the least visibility in Nick’s public life but are important to mention for their financial support and rearing of Nick. Both worked while Nick was a child: Celeste in an unknown profession, and Bob for Cray computing, leaving Nick in a daycare—the setting of many of his childhood nightmare tales. During his early years in Houston, Texas, Bob would often be away for days or weeks at a time, so he would buy toys and other things for Nick as an apology. They later allowed Nick to have HBO cable in his room at the age of 8—leading to discovery of X-rated entertainment. Later in life, they became his financial supporters, first sending him to university (twice) despite his lackluster performance, then (likely) housing and other things post-marriage and through law school.
Shortly before (and now after) Nick's arrest, they were revealed to be in town, helping with the driving schedule and appearing at child protective hearings.
The Grandparents' Wealth
Speculations swirled regarding Nick's maternal grandparents', Louis and Peaches Owens, wealth due to multimillion dollar endowments to build hospitals and charities. During Weeb Wars, Louis' will was exposed in an attempt to smear Nick. The will revealed the disbursement of many millions to Nick's maternal family--millions that may have found a way to Nick through his parents. This also confirms that Nick (with only a single (half?) sibling) stands to inherit a lot of money.
How much? A forum user conducted a deep dive or research and the possibilities are explored in their post.

The Rise of Rekieta:
Nick started his career on the internet while operating a small law practice in Spicer, Minnesota. He became a fan of Juju the Cow (Dick Masterson/Dax Herrara) and co-host Maddox’s show, The Biggest Problem in the Universe, and joined the (now banned) Facebook fan group. When Maddox sued Juju, ('The LOLsuit') in November of 2017, Nick began commentating as a lawyer—with favourable prognostications to Juju and mockery of Maddox. Due to contemporary limits on video size, Nick started a YouTube channel near the end of 2017 named ‘RekietaLaw’ with the show’s tongue-in-cheek name ‘Lawsplaining the Interwebs’. This coverage gained popularity among TBPITU fans and adjacent sectors of the internet.
Here he developed what would be his hallmark for many years: reading entire legal documents in popular cases and breaking it down, line-by-line, over a glass or two of scotch or whiskey while giving (oft humourous) colour commentary.
After the ‘LOLsuit’, Nick moved on to cover other cases in 2018 popular among internet denizens, such as Russel Greer vs Taylor Swift, The Mountain Jew: Melinda Scott vs. Null (Multiple times), and ComicsGate topics. He appeared with Ethan Ralph of the Killstream and attended the aborted Warski and Tonkasaw MMA fight in Knoxville. , earning recognition and respect in this for his ready wit, repartee, and legal credentials.
Nick’s success really took off around late February to Early March of 2019 when he began covering the #MeToo-adjacent Vic Mignogna case (a.k.a. Weeb Wars) within the anime voice acting community. This case would gain him a legion of loyal weeb/nerd fans that would donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to the GoFundMe legal fund her started—and Nick personally via YouTube Super Chats. Nick even ended up connecting Vic with an (estate planning) lawyer to represent him in a defamation case, Ty Beard, who ended up losing the case twice—both initially and on appeal.
As Culture War and IBS topics began to peter out, the larger opportunity of high-profile legal cases appeared in late 2021 as Nick launched a new form of entertainment that bridged the gap between CSPAN and True Crime podcasts—legal coverage with a panel of lawyers offering opinions and live commentary. Views and hundreds of thousands of dollars came pouring in during the unfolding legal drama. Nick made law interesting and lowered the bar of entry by offering explanation of court procedure and legal processes in real-time. The Rittenhouse trial in late 2021 and Depp v. Heard trials in mid-2022 (with smaller trials interspersed) added a lot of female True Crime fans to his audience, and they showered him with both attention and money which he spent on expensive art, cars, and lavish vacations. Nick seemed poised for even greater successes.

To illustrate the magnitude of his success: he surpassed 100k concurrent live viewers (more than double the 'official' Law & Crime and CourtTV channels) and took in over $300k USD in Super Chat revenue. For this coverage, he guested on Glenn Beck's radio show, re-tweeted extensively by Jack Poso, tapped for legal expertise by Steven Crowder, a Tim Pool guest, and called-in twice to InfoWars with Owen Schroyer. He would also head to Blaze Studios and guest on Elijah Schaeffer and Sydney Watson's (short-lived) podcast several times. Nick seemed to be ready to make the leap to the big leagues of political and legal commentary in late 2022.
None of this would pan out as revealed in April 2024.
The Beginning of the End:
LOCALS and Rumble Contracts
With his star on the rise, Nick sought to cement a base of support for his show. Wary of subscription sites like Patreon (who had de-platformed conservative creators) Nick began using conservative-backed alternative 'LOCALS' in late summer 2022—now owned by alternative video platform, Rumble. In the wake of a temporary total ban from YouTube (overturned) and massive social media movement to re-instate him, he garnered more than 5,000 monthly supporters at a rate of $5 USD per month—promising an exclusive gift that has yet to be delivered (as of November 2024). This translated to over $25k USD of support per month.
He ended 2022 strong, signing a 1-year streaming contract with Rumble for an undisclosed 7-figure sum in October. Confident that Rumble and LOCALS were his new home, he went so far as to tell people to STOP supporting him with YouTube memberships and Super Chats, and encourage them to sign up for LOCALS where they would get more attention at less cost, Taking shots at those who flagged him down, he boasted that he was ‘un-cancellable’.

Shunning Former Fans and Content
In late October/early-November 2022 Nick did a hard content pivot—stating he wanted to talk more about ‘relationships’, male-female dynamics, and 'fun' topics. The support he had received made him independent of YouTube and other controlling interests in his life, and for the first time in almost '20 years of pretending to be someone [he was] not' he was finally free to be 'just me'.
Channel content became heavily sexual and drunk streams frequent. Bewildered by the sudden change, old fans began to question the new tack. Later leaks revealed they would reach out to Nick in DM’s, hurt and confused only to receive a rebuff and leave, frustrated. The messages would also further reveal what he thought of some of his more outspoken critics (former fans) wishing they 'would die'.
This gaslighting approach would be taken with others as well who simply expressed concern for Nick who admitted to drugs and his trip to Hedonism while he publicly downplayed and deflected from these questions.
The Balldo: The First Open Degeneracy
This persisted from November 2022 through mid-February 2023, as Nick became obsessed with a sex product called the Balldo and related degenerate topics. Advertised as a 'penis that never goes soft', it is a dildo that attaches to the male gonads and allows the user to penetrate their partner with their testicles. This became so emblematic of Nick, that 'Balldo' would become a derogatory name for him.

Lewdposting and Wine-Moms
In a move of solidarity with the new trial stream fans he had picked up as LOCALS subscribers, Nick abandoned patronage of his long-standing DISCORD server and began spending more time in his single channel LOCALS chatroom. Originally an exclusive perq for subscribers during trial streams, Nick expanded it to a 24/7 service that he branded as ‘free-speech’ and ‘censorship-free’. 300-400 rabid fans would participate actively at any given time until early 2023. Topics varied, but gravitated toward more salacious material, and in a watershed moment, one fan (‘Mandy’) posted a picture of ‘her’ breasts in the chat. This set the tone for Nick’s LOCALS going forward.

After the ‘Mandy Incident’ garnered positive attention from Nick, more female posters (married, single, young, old, and in relationships) began sharing racy images of themselves, fishing for attention from other chat members, Nick, and his wife who engaged them frequently.
Vacation and New Outlook on Life and Show
In the midst of a firestorm confrontation between Nick, his old audience, and Post-Depp trial fans, Nick planned a private tropical holiday at an undisclosed location [important later] in late summer of 2022 for he and his wife to de-stress—drunkenly revealing one night it was to Jamaica.
In an August stream from his then-unknown destination (and subsequent streams), Nick recounted his experiences with psychoactive mushrooms, nude beaches, raunchy costume contests, pole-dancing, public sex in a raft, and other degenerate behaviour. In response to continued criticism by longtime fans, Nick called them ‘incel prudes’ who wanted to make people miserable, expressed dislike for legal content, claimed the channel was ‘never a law show’, and told them to fuck off. Nick boasted that the Rumble contract was enough to sustain him without any audience support--guaranteeing more income than ever before.

Eventually Nick and Kayla would post images of themselves taking part in LOCALS' weekly tradition of 'Ass Wednesday' and the 'Bottle Challenge', culminating in a nude picture (taken from behind) at their mystery vacation destination. Nick would later rationalize this as valid audience engagement, but the responding criticism became too much for Kayla. She quickly withdrew after public post to LOCALS denying prominent rumours.

It All Comes Tumbling Down:
Schedule Woes and End of Trial Content
Nightly degeneracy fuelled by heavy drinking continued apace into late summer 2022. During the next trial streams, Nick was visibly bored and disengaged; missed days at a time; and dropped some for not being 'fun'. This discontent came to a head in a profession of hatred of trial streaming and that his audience was silly for wanting such boring content.

As the show spiraled into degeneracy, it also became more sporadic. What used to be a reliable 4-5 night weekly average followed by 2-3 nights of gaming or film-watching trickled to perhaps 2-3 shows per week—often with little to no warning of cancellation. As this continued into 2023, strange, elaborate excuses were given like 'Unexpected Date Night', kids' 'late night computer activities', unexpected drives to Minneapolis at 3 AM, fevers of 107 degrees Fahrenheit, and a client emergency (from someone who had not practiced in years), and other vague reasons.

Hedonism Identified and the War on Fans
As the end of 2022 neared, Kiwi Farmers (a large part of his former audience) scrutinised his vacation pictures and identified posing and coastline as a Jamaican resort—Hedonism II: a well-known swinger destination.
This revelation sent shockwaves through the remnants of Nick’s original fanbase with speculation of swinging and cuckoldry abounding. Despite overwhelming evidence, Nick clung to the threadbare pretense of never publicly confirming his destination, so rumours could not be definitvely proven. In October 2024, in response to Nick's DMCA threat to a clipping channel, a former moderator, @Kalea released recent DM's where Nick admitted attending Hedonism II, but claimed he deliberately left enough evidence for people to know where he had gone but avoided outright mentions due to potential family drama.
In the same exchange, he also claimed the purpose for connecting on social media with male staff at Hedonism (with whom he had bonded over cooking and anime) was to get a dancer there who confided that she was pregnant and about to lose her job 1,000 USD for 'medical expenses'. This was meme'd in a pregnancy scare abortion pay-off by the Farms.
In response to heavy critique from his (former) fanbase, Nick removed long-time moderators, banned people from his ‘free-speech’ LOCALS, and shuttered his paid DISCORD.
Gay Bars and Public Drug Use
This was promptly followed by investigation of statements about Nick's 2022 birthday celebrations where he and his wife wore matching lingerie. The venue was identified as a gay bar underwear party where he also confessed to drugged sex with her afterwards.
In defence of himself against swinging allegations, Nick would claim practising aggressive monogamy--described as going to bars, night clubs, and other venues where they buy drinks for other people, listen to their stories, and turn down floods of offers for orgies.

Warning Signs and Defamation Lawsuits
These changes and conflicts had not gone unnoticed by Nick’s online circle. @Null came to hear of what was happening and was sent clips of what was obviously a very public mid-life crisis. Poking lightly at Nick, he suggested Nick ‘Pull Up’ and correct his course before real damage was done to himself, his family, and his career.
Another earlier event subjected to more scrutiny was a drunk stream in late 2022 where he called another lolcow, Montegraph, a paedophile who ‘always liked to suck little boy cocks’—a line he would later mis-report to others (with 'probably' in place of 'always'). In the stream, Nick dared Montegraph to sue him—he did on December 5th, 2022. Nick hired an expensive 1A lawyer to represent him, vowing never to settle despite his lawyer reporting over 40k USD in costs in 2023 that has likely inflated to 6 figures in 2024.
@05:50:17
Until early 2023, most of Nick's audience and the Farms (even disaffected) bore more resentment for Montegraph, and sentiment was on his side in this case--to the point where Nick planned to fundraise his defence. In a humourous result, Nick's fundraiser stalled just above 12k USD for almost a year while Montegraph's nearly reached it's goal (and surpassed Nick's) in a matter of months. Nick eventually removed his campaign in late 2023 or early 2024, publicly claiming the campaign had 'expired'.

Hearing the increased volume of lowing from Rekieta, Kiwis began to squeeze for milk. In late January 2023, a chat scraper began archiving all messages in LOCALS chat. Highlights were extracted and posted to the Farms—to the horror of those without any care for privacy. People were doxed, embarrassing details aired, and many left. Nick held the Kiwi Farms responsible for people making the chat 'hostile'.
Nick would later recant this opinion in April of 2024.
The best revelation from LOCALS was that the high visibility poster ‘Mandy’ (the one posted breasts pictures and was a sexual tease) was revealed to be a catfish named Daniel Harris. Details have come out that all but confirm the fact. ‘She’ has since vanished from LOCALS—who maintain she IS a woman, and--even if not--what ‘she’ did was NOT ‘cat-fishing’ according to a painfully contorted definition .
In the middle of 2023, Nick would take an almost 3 week vacation break with no shows, electronic communication, or engagement with his fans who fell into a state of despair. In contrast to his last summer vacation (where the destination was disastrous) he would merely refer to it as 'a beach out west'. Most Farmers interpreted that as an attempt at deception and accept that he returned to Hedonism II on the west side of Jamaica, but no evidence has been levied for or against that conclusion.
Cowdom Declared:
As Nick’s destructive behaviour continued unabated through mid-to-late-2023, his thread was eventually moved from the Multimedia to Internet Famous (later Grift Wars then Balldoverse)—a symbolic point of his history with the Farms. The rapport between him and Josh soured due to Nick’s non-specific complaints about the farmers’ rule-breaking behaviour and refusal to elaborate, Nick would formally disavow his thread and the Farms, call Josh an ‘autistic retard who does not understand social cues’, and cease direct communication near the end of 2023
Failed Change and Lolcow of the Year 2023
With flagging numbers and increasing reliance on alcohol, Nick had several abortive attempts in 2023 to curb degeneracy and create new content for his fans. He eventually admitted some of his critics were correct, but in a backhanded manner, insisting that it is nigh impossible to accept advice from non-streamers.
Critics Gave Advice in a 'Faggy' Way
At the end of May 2023, during a professed attempt at change, Nick drunkenly lusted over ‘Mandy’, describing all the explicit things he would do to ‘her’ if he were single. He apologised the night after. However, in that apology, he would clarify that his audience could not warn him about going too far because 'creators' need to realise things on their own.
He also announced brand new content series of interviews in 2023 that petered out at 2 episodes in over 10 months, and LOCALS exclusives video series on Faith, Masculinity, and How-To guide on streaming that never materialised.
The ’MAN-dy’ revelations were featured on the site’s front page during the 2023 Julay’s, and in combination with Null’s coverage of Nick’s antics on MATI, propelled him to landslide victory.
In 2024 he announced a 'sober January' (credited to Cecil Says), quickly emended to 'sober streaming January' then subsequently changed to 'sober while streaming on my show January' when caught drinking in a hot tub with his wife and April and Aaron Imholte of SteelToe Morning Show.

The Reckoning of Money and Audience:
Channel Statistics
The jarring shift in content in late 2022/early 2023, disrespect for his audience, and unreliable schedule dwindled his audience. Many watched solely trial content and ceased support when it did or when shows became sporadic. His YouTube channel has lost 24,000 subscribers (as of April 2024). The 5,000+ LOCALS paid supporters have fallen off, and, as of early 2024, there are only ~50 active in his chat during a stream—with off-peak below 10.
Super Chats decreased (second post) (third post) with 82% year-over-year decline from 2023 to 2024 in the first 3 months. Basic categorisation shows a correlation to changing content. Of the chats received, many were hostile or trolling.
