I’ve been an alcoholic for a few years I watched this video and it broke me down. I messaged nick on instagram and let him know my situation last night. Nicks story is the reason I’m getting sober today. He messaged me back almost immediately. He had the tough conversation I’ve needed to have for a long time. Idk why but I feel empowered to get my shit together today!
I hope you're still going strong. I quit in the beginning of November and I'm DONE. Turned 60 years old and decided I wasn't going to take substances into the last part of my life. I'm a caffeine only person now. My only vice.
@@TheDisorderly Wonderful ! Remember that the "thing" inside you that wants to drink has no control over your hands. You are in complete control. YOU have chosen to never drink or use again, IT will always want to party. It's that simple. If you are unfamiliar with Rational Recovery, I strongly suggest you read up on it. It's the answer to gaining complete control. I have been alcohol free since the beginning of November. You got this, my friend. Just recognize the voice when it is talking inside your head, and call it by IT's name.
i hope you doing good, stay strong when the urges might come! i never drank alcohol, so i cant speak from experience, but i know for sure, that daily meditation is the best thing you can do for youself, when things get hard and problems from the world start to stress you out. these might be the moments you should watch yourself, your inner voice and dont jugde yourself and the things so much... as a i said im not an expert, but ive gone through a hard childhood and many stuff and i just wanted to write this so it might help you or someone else, when things seem to heat up
I understand, when everything becomes hell you choose to fight it by defying it and being nice to others. You choose to be a nice demon instead of a bad one. It does heal pain and trauma. This man has gone through a lot worse than most people and he feels good being good.
Yeah it’s horrible for a innocent man to have to go through what he did. Other than finding a way to know if they are 100 guilty can’t do much about it. The prisons are horrible places to be an a lot of bad shit happens inside but the problem is the prisoners are what make it so dangerous and miserable punking killing raping each other.
If the prisoners would just act civilized an as community to make a positive place to turn themselves around then they wouldn’t be there in the first place haha
@@jakemcbride7049 other countries with less barbaric prison systems heavily disagree with your assessment. Throwing broken people in horrible and abusive living conditions results in bad stuff happening
“I dare you to sing happy birthday to yourself like i did. Learned my lesson from that one.” Shit man the way he said that, you can tell he was holding back the pain.
@Zack Ramirez Yeah cause you know a lot about what goes on in prison, and you like it too, don't you, Bubba? Take frequent Butt-Buddy vacations do you?
True example of a man who has not let the brutal hard times break his spirit. Hard times, injustice, and emotional breakdowns may come in our way, but the person who doesn’t let those events break his or her spirit, and keep the spirit alive, choose kindness over envy, forgiveness over hatred, and growth over destruction, is truly unbreakable.
One of the few people who can leave Joe basically speechless, this guys story hits me to close to home. Ive been in situations similar and i still harbor a touch of hate from that, this guy went through way more and shines brighter than I ever could.
I dunno about this neuropasticity, but I really feel good after saying "please:, "thank", "you're welcome", and being really nice to people. Of course I'm not perfect and I have my bad days, but I gives me a boost of "energy" (i don't know how to describe it) when I'm nice to someone at any given time.
This is the most powerful six minutes I have found, in 15 years of seeking inspiration. Omg Wow. Thank you, Nick. Jim Valvano said that each day you should laugh, think, and be moved to tears. I've never known until now, how to be moved to tears every day. This message can change the world, no doubt.
I'm absolutely speechless, this man is amazing. I have so much love, admiration and respect for him. His attitude and strength of spirit is mind blowing. I wish him healing, joy and love always ❤
There's some who can't even watch a horror movie for 1-2 hours, yet this man was literally feeling, seeing, hearing, watching even smelling and not forgetting the most important one "living" this man lived through his own horror movie for 22 years, 24/7 every single day,
I needed this today. I have just been letting my mental illness take control of my life and gave up on fighting. Nick Yarris has given me the inspiration and true belief that you can change your life.
If it's true mental illness, it's physical, please look up Hardy Nutritionals, call them for guidance, speak to your doctors about decreasing any meds while starting brain nutrition. It worked for me, for you maybe a few weeks/months, but you have to believe in nutrition, it's not willpower at all, just daily consistency in loading up your body/brain with good nutrition until you start working better brainwise, then continue. Mental illness/nutrient deficiencies is not the same as the blues/life circumstances(failure, breakup, death of loved one, psychologically sensitive etc.). Just my two cents.
To say this man has been through some things I think would be an understatement. I feel lucky that we're able to hear this man's agony and understanding his role in all the situations he has been through and survival. Be kind to people regardless of their looks, you never know what they have been through.
Love is the strongest frequency, love comes in many ways and it’s not just how you show it within yourself but to other souls. This man is one of the small percent
That's a crazy story, poor guy.. I'm soooo glad technology can help men like this... Just think of how many innocent people have been put to death or spent there lives behind bars.... It's a sad truth... Smoke him up Rogan......... Edit: wow just finished this video... A different vibe man, crazy crazy sad bro, such a sad sad story, god bless this man...
Be glad you never ran into a crooked or stupid cop. Cops are good cops are bad, some get bribed some get fooled or don't give a damn. It just takes ONE jackas cop to ruin your entire life. People still protect them blindly, "black lives don't matter blue lives matter", "I seen 20 years of cops and law and order tv shows, I know what cops are like", no idiot you know what they show you on Tv and what has been heavily edited.
Nick Yaris you are an amazing human being. This story is shocking, heartbreaking and unbelievable. The strength in you is amazing. Yes of course you cried as you relived the nightmare. That is not weakness. It is strength. You still fight the fight. And good on you Joe Rogan for your compassion and understanding. Keep going Nick, your doing an amazing job. 😁💯
I'm so glad he was able to do this interview. I just watched (like as in a few minutes ago) a video that was about an hour long and was just him telling his entire story in detail. He spoke beautifully, as if he was reading a well-written story of his life right from a book. This interview gave him a chance to show his soul, his raw emotions. It's a wonderful, heart-reaching contrast, to go from one to the next. It was actually quite lovely and real to see and I'm glad he showed it all. I hope he knows that, hope someone told him that. This man was hurt, made mistakes, was more hurt... but he PUT IN THE WORK. He did all he could to become a better person. That's a lot. That is so difficult and incredible. Good on his mom to help push him to that and good on him for his determination to stick to it and see it through. His story is gut-wrenching but also so inspiring. Just phenomenal. Anyway. I pray he's happy now.
After all that, the amount of self love and positivity this man has is amazing. Makes me rethink all my bitching and whining when I have a “bad” day. In comparison, I’ve had no bad days.
What an incredible story of fortitude and persevere. I am speechless. Wow! He is an inspiration and proves that we should never let out struggles define us... only use thise struggles as motivation to be and do better.
Good Lord... this broke my heart. I know Joe Rogan isnt a religious man.... But God bless him for putting this out. This guy's story needed to be told.... Nick Yarris, God bless you too... to go through all this and still try to do good is amazing. Thank you for your story
What they rarely get right in the media when it comes to prison is how prison will change you, period. Some people find themselves and grow; others become more hardened; more likely to reoffend; and still others simply exist. These places are massive warehouses of unwanted and often misunderstood humanity. Each state is different, just as each institution has it's own flavor. Some far worse then others. In some ways, being nearly always cut off from family and friends are hard, for many people, the shear boredom, peppered with indignities and violence, can and will mess with your head. If you entered the system already loaded with 'issues', likely then Prison will compound and twist your 'issues' into directions that are hard to explain. For some, prison is just another home. Want to know how often a person has been incarcerated? Ask them what letter is behind their prison number. That number is issued for life, at least. Meaning that if you reoffend, you retain your number and gain a letter. I've met a few with 15 or more letters. It also doesn't help that the politicians have been working hard over the past few decades to gut the programs meant to help inmates to come to grip with their issues; which they often fail at doing. The same doubles down for mental cases. Many states have downsized or eliminated 'mental intuitions'. Why bother getting people help 'before' they commit a crime? Because it works and the system doesn't want that. 'They' want both a revolving door so they can continue to point fingers and twist the outcome to their political rhetoric. They also want to pack the prisons. Oh, they'll say over and over it's not about money. After all, how can a state - owned and ran prison be a cash cow? Look at where most prisons are located. In backwater areas of a state where they become the main source of good paying jobs. Perhaps not so good paying if your working for a privately owned prison. Think on that for a moment. The first time I heard about a 'private' prison I became confused. Privatizing something implies that there are profits to be made. Now, prisons don't really produce much, do they? Oh, here and there, sure, but really? They consume things. People, money, resources, with little to show for it at the end of the day. Once, long ago, a progressive Iowa Warden told a room full of people. "Most people behind these walls are going to be released. These men and women are going to return to your neighborhoods, perhaps in the house next door. So, which would you prefer as a neighbor? An Offender who was treated well; given chances to learn skills or gain an education? Someone whose shown respect and encouraged to improve themselves by the examples of others? Or, would you prefer an angry, frustrated, scared, dangerous, lost individual moving in next door to you and yours. Someone whose life experiences were made far worse by that stretch in the joint. Which one would you prefer? And no, you don't get to quip or snip about this. 'I'd prefer they never get out' or 'Not in my neighborhood' Well, open your eyes, 'cause based up on the incarnation numbers in America, its becoming increasingly likely you know someone; live next to someone; work with someone; that did time.
So is raping a kid, murdering a family, serial killing, robbing, stealing and hurting others. An innocent person in prison is one thing. A scumbag in prison reaping what he has sown is another. I have the feeling you've never been around inmates before. In my experience they're the most manipulative scumbags society has ever put forth. And when they can't manipulate you they'll seek to kill your ass without hesitation. Go get a convict as a neighbor. You'll see what I mean then imagine a thousand of them in your hood.
Prisons are not a party or to be anything close to normal home living. It is PUNISHMENT of a sever kind. Solitary is reserved for the most dangerous because they WILL kill other inmates and officers. We have no guts to carry out death penalties. We should and quickly.
hey john doh, im jdoe. btw. its called corrections, not punishments, even though it is anything but corrective... if you truly believe that punitive measures will make a human decent, go beat your children. edit: why not also go to a mental hospital and beat everyone up. hell, just unleash your wrath on everything you don't understand, that'll teach em... fact is, the system is a for profit, farm emulating, get as many as you can, nightmare.. and most come out even more bitter and resentful than they came in, and they walk your streets.
Many people need to see this… a lot of young people just go about life without thinking about others. It’s all fights and arguments because they can’t control themselves.
LOVE! love yourself, love others, treat others in the way you want to be treated. Love helps us connect to each other on a whole different level with a whole different set of rules. The beauty of love is incredible. Love makes us who we are, it makes us talk a certain way,act a certain way and feel a certain way. The lord programmed us with love being the driving force of our lives. Constant struggle and Hardships tend to reprogram our thinking and our struggles and hardships create a darkness and that darkness absorbs our light. We cannot afford to lose that light because that light is our loving force and our loving force is everything good in this word. It is everything important and it's the most important thing we live for.. Be positive, twist negative thoughts into positive ones and always look at the bright side of everything or darkness will absorb your love and light... So to be nice and courteous and everything this man is talking about stems from love.. Get with it folks start loving more. Drop those walls and get comfortable with the word love because it's the most important thing in our lives.. Push the negativity out and let love fill your life with light, love is the most powerful force, start to believe it because its true and powerful.. love you all, godbless!
marmite400 I find for me, it’s difficult to be kind especially when I’m feeling bothered by something 😏 someone said or may have did to me, but this guys advice.. is to still be kind & polite 😓😤 that’s almost like telling me to carry a 200 pound weight to work everyday without complaining 🤔 is it impossible? No, just really difficult after a while 😤😏
Absolutely heartbreaking. I enjoy listening to it becasue it makes me realise how little Ive had it bad. Please make this a film or something. People need to see this. He is a beuatiful man.
Ehhh, I think a lot of this this guy is exaggerating because when you look up information about him different times it says that his allegations are disputed (which they say that when the information cannot be corroborated). Plus, I've never heard OF ANYONE that has went through THAT MUCH CRAP FROM OTHER PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE THEM SUFFER. JS
I first heard Nick's story on a (BBC) Radio 4 programme called The Choice - after release Nick moved back and forth between the UK and the US, marrying two Englishwomen. His choice was that if you show 'genuine remorse' you can get early release. But how can you show remorse for a crime you didn't commit? The cinema documentary about him THE FEAR OF 13 is on UA-cam for a small fee.
This is so heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine. And the Thorazine story is unbelievable!! I don’t understand how people can treat another human being such a way no matter the circumstances. If you’re not defending yourself you’re simply abusing and torturing others for pleasure. Such a sick an evil world. 😢
I’ve been an alcoholic for a few years I watched this video and it broke me down. I messaged nick on instagram and let him know my situation last night.

Every day MUST be a good day when you listen to this. Nick Yarris is incredible
The courage of this man is incredible indeed.
I don't understand how he can be so kind. This mans head shines as brightly as his heart. Bless him ❤️
I understand, when everything becomes hell you choose to fight it by defying it and being nice to others. You choose to be a nice demon instead of a bad one. It does heal pain and trauma. This man has gone through a lot worse than most people and he feels good being good.
Because he's seen what it's like to be treated like an animal, so it's given him endless empathy.
Because he isn’t. A 2 minute delve into his life story reveals what a piece of shit he is.
@@BATTLETEETH beautifully put 💪
Lmao 😂 thanks for the laugh. He is a beautiful human. Who truly does shine
No matter how many horror stories like this we hear, prison reform is never a big issue come election day. So sad.

“I dare you to sing happy birthday to yourself like i did. Learned my lesson from that one.” Shit man the way he said that, you can tell he was holding back the pain.
Yeah Right that was tough. I just imagined it in my head. And I’m almost falling apart
@Zack Ramirez Yeah cause you know a lot about what goes on in prison, and you like it too, don't you, Bubba? Take frequent Butt-Buddy vacations do you?
@Beskrock the man is broken what do you expect?!
@Beskrock are you one?!

22 now u getting old brodie

Rui Romao i know exactly what you mean ...it gives me a charge like that too. ..too bad more ppl don't love it lol
Rui Romao wow, you’re like Maui in that Disney movie with Duane Johnson. Can you sing the song for us?
Rui Romao it’s the water with in us. Look up how certain words affect ice crystals
Well yeah for everyone who's not a sociopath it feels good to make other people happy and being polite is an easy way to do that
its an energy called unconditional love and its what animates the entire existence.

Great comment... Love the Valvano reference...
No one deserves to go through what he did. Amazed and in awe at his ability to grow and get the most positive out of it he can.
He does lol. He’s a piece of shit, do some research on him

Same here. It can happen so easily. Your comment helped me

The amazing power of not giving up.
This is one of the most real conversations I've ever heard or understood. What a person, what a journey, what an experience!
I just listen to nicks story today and man! NICK is the Definition of a Phoenix rising out the ashes! I Pray to be as humble and blessed as this man!
This man is insane. He changed hin self and he is the reason every one should keep fighting god bless this man
To say this man has been through some things I think would be an understatement. I feel lucky that we're able to hear this man's agony and understanding his role in all the situations he has been through and survival.
Be kind to people regardless of their looks, you never know what they have been through.
You can tell this man has been through a lot of shit. He's had a very hard and traumatic life.
I never thought loving yourself in prison could be an option. Holy shit this man’s spirit is strong
This is an extraordinary human being. I mean wow👏🏽 It's amazing hearing him speak. I would love to shake his hand & thank him for existing.
“Be precise with your speech.”
I pray Nick is living a beautiful life now and has found someone to share it with. ❤❤
He believes that goodness will win. I wish him well and big thanks to Joe for covering the story.
"I'mma walk out like the dude" tremendous.
I want to hear more stories about this dude. This guy is amazing
This was really hard to watch. I really hope Yarris recovers from the traumas he has.
this man is a prefect example of divine mercy
Thanks for this clip. It's helped me a little.
Love is the strongest frequency, love comes in many ways and it’s not just how you show it within yourself but to other souls. This man is one of the small percent
I just want to give this guy a big hug and tell him I'm so sorry
I watched The Fear Of 13 a year or two ago when it first came out. It blew me away. This guy went through hell
That's a crazy story, poor guy.. I'm soooo glad technology can help men like this... Just think of how many innocent people have been put to death or spent there lives behind bars.... It's a sad truth... Smoke him up Rogan.........

What an incredible story of fortitude and persevere. I am speechless. Wow! He is an inspiration and proves that we should never let out struggles define us... only use thise struggles as motivation to be and do better.
Mothers are geniuses.
Mr.Yarris,well done sir.
Mom is very proud.
Now I gotta watch the whole thing

I do believe that first year at Shawshank was the hardest for Andy .
Im so glad this guy has been disproven because theres ppl that actually been through some tough stuff
I’ll be showing these clips too family that are cold and deep down depressed, thanks.
The way this man articulates his story is fascinating.
What a beautiful man with such a wild testimony. I hope he lives an amazing, blessed, beautiful life. God heals. You can heal yourself.
I’m so sorry that happened to you! You give me hope.
I just let someone that met me on the queue take my space because he really needed to be somewhere and he proved it, I feel great about myself.
This guy is just so strong n wowwwww, no words,, 💚🍀

Prisons are not a party or to be anything close to normal home living. It is PUNISHMENT of a sever kind. Solitary is reserved for the most dangerous because they WILL kill other inmates and officers. We have no guts to carry out death penalties. We should and quickly.
@@ClickClack_Bam have you been to prison before
hey john doh, im jdoe. btw. its called corrections, not punishments, even though it is anything but corrective... if you truly believe that punitive measures will make a human decent, go beat your children. edit: why not also go to a mental hospital and beat everyone up. hell, just unleash your wrath on everything you don't understand, that'll teach em... fact is, the system is a for profit, farm emulating, get as many as you can, nightmare.. and most come out even more bitter and resentful than they came in, and they walk your streets.
I did a 21 month SHU program in Pelican Bay. Got me crying thinking about it.
listening to this man for 2 minutes can change your entire life
Because he speaks from the depths of his heart.
Keep this dude around Joe
Many people need to see this… a lot of young people just go about life without thinking about others. It’s all fights and arguments because they can’t control themselves.
There are therapists that can benefit his healing and that can be another step of wholeness.
God that is intense - thank god for dna evidence
Wow, I had trauma and did the same thing, and now I'm finding out that there's a name for this Neuroplasticity. God bless this man, I pray for you.
I'm not crying bro!
Ok, this is pretty much the best thing I have ever listened to in my life.
I was thinking the very same thing
WOW.....Authentic Truth in expression.
Whoah,, this guy is o.g. And a very rare individual ✌️
The trauma comes through in his voice 😔 May God bless and protect him, and every other innocent person who has been convicted 🙏
LOVE! love yourself, love others, treat others in the way you want to be treated. Love helps us connect to each other on a whole different level with a whole different set of rules. The beauty of love is incredible. Love makes us who we are, it makes us talk a certain way,act a certain way and feel a certain way. The lord programmed us with love being the driving force of our lives. Constant struggle and Hardships tend to reprogram our thinking and our struggles and hardships create a darkness and that darkness absorbs our light. We cannot afford to lose that light because that light is our loving force and our loving force is everything good in this word. It is everything important and it's the most important thing we live for.. Be positive, twist negative thoughts into positive ones and always look at the bright side of everything or darkness will absorb your love and light... So to be nice and courteous and everything this man is talking about stems from love.. Get with it folks start loving more. Drop those walls and get comfortable with the word love because it's the most important thing in our lives.. Push the negativity out and let love fill your life with light, love is the most powerful force, start to believe it because its true and powerful.. love you all, godbless!
What an inspiration
He speaks with so much pain.
That’s so crazy I just watch that documentary last night
Man i was watching this trying my hardest not to cry, this shit is real gonna order his book tomorrow
Salkanis there’s a sucker born every minute
Unbelievable courage.
Damn this is powerful..
Ummm, Hello?!?! Just need to tell you all that this is hands down the best thing I've ever heard in my life.
If that shit happened to me I would be psychotic, good on the dude for getting through that the way he has.
Wow this man is an inspiration...
Why us the full interview not found
anyone know where i can watch this episode? i cant believe i missed this!
5:35 this is sitcom gold
you have a strange sense of humor.
Lmao! That was pretty goddamn funny. So rehearsed
Why isn't the full episode available? It says the video is private
Be grateful and friendly all the time. It works until some plook gets on my nerves.
marmite400 I find for me, it’s difficult to be kind especially when I’m feeling bothered by something 😏 someone said or may have did to me, but this guys advice.. is to still be kind & polite 😓😤 that’s almost like telling me to carry a 200 pound weight to work everyday without complaining 🤔 is it impossible? No, just really difficult after a while 😤😏
Yup Huntington 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Absolutely heartbreaking. I enjoy listening to it becasue it makes me realise how little Ive had it bad. Please make this a film or something. People need to see this. He is a beuatiful man.
The film is called the fear of 13.
Wow. Makes me feel stupid worrying about my issues. Inspiring
Astonishing story...wow
Bless your mother Nicky.
Spiritual warrior. 🙏
I saw a documentary about this guy. heart breaking.
Ehhh, I think a lot of this this guy is exaggerating because when you look up information about him different times it says that his allegations are disputed (which they say that when the information cannot be corroborated). Plus, I've never heard OF ANYONE that has went through THAT MUCH CRAP FROM OTHER PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE THEM SUFFER. JS
Made me cry
I first heard Nick's story on a (BBC) Radio 4 programme called The Choice - after release Nick moved back and forth between the UK and the US, marrying two Englishwomen. His choice was that if you show 'genuine remorse' you can get early release. But how can you show remorse for a crime you didn't commit?
The cinema documentary about him THE FEAR OF 13 is on UA-cam for a small fee.
This is so heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine. And the Thorazine story is unbelievable!! I don’t understand how people can treat another human being such a way no matter the circumstances. If you’re not defending yourself you’re simply abusing and torturing others for pleasure. Such a sick an evil world. 😢
It's all because of false accusations
@@473sm How do you know that?
This man is a true saint 😢
