In AA it’s beneficial to just see the implications of abusing alcohol and hearing peoples stories helps understand how alcohol can change your life or your actions
My mom used to take me to to AA with her because she didn't have someone to watch me. She's an alcoholic, I'm not. Most are open meetings and not exclusive to alcoholics (not like you can measure that anyways). It's a safe space to have open discussions on the effects of alcohol (including overconsumption) and overcoming it. Also, you do not NEED a sponsor, many people attend AA for years/decades and never have one. However, a sponsor is there to guide you through the 12 steps and is someone to lean on. Going to AA is not a promise to stop drinking which is why you see so many relapses among alcoholic nor do they promise you fix you in any way. It's a support system and way to interact with new people who have the same goal. The problem with Nick Lachey, or anyone for that matter, is that there is no way for our legal system to know the root cause of your violence. Most alcoholics do not realize they have a problem and won't admit to such. So instead of sending you to prison, they address the issue from multiple aspects (like anger management and AA) hoping one will work.
As a new viewer can I make a suggestion that when you start talking about a new topic can you specifically say what show/person you are referring to? Like the whole Raquel discussion I have no idea who that is or what show. Maybe my fault that im not in the know but it sucks I can't follow along and learn it form you guys.
In college when I was 19 I got a citation for being at a party where underage drinking was taking place. I was not drunk and was completely respectful and did everything the cops said, but ended up having to go to a 6week alcohol rehab type class, and X amount of AA meetings, as if I’m an alcoholic. I’m not an alcoholic fyi. It was definitely quite weird but I guess better than going to jail or something
Just have to say love Amanda!! She’s beauty and she’s grace! ..but seriously what a special person, I’m so impressed with how articulate, poised and thoughtful she is 💗. I’d love to see her on her own show or I’d even be more interested in viall files plus if she had her own segment/series (one where Nick doesn’t take over 😅)
I’m not speaking on behalf of the 12th step community, but from my experience a very large portion of people who attend AA are court ordered. Diversion programs save a lot of people’s lives, and in the off chance that he is a high functioning alcoholic, he might be receptive to wanting sobriety. I’m sure the judge who made the decision did so based on this being categorized as an alcohol related charge. There are also people who are required to attend AA for professional reasons, including therapists or others seeking certain degrees. AA has “closed” meetings as well, where those who don’t identify as alcoholics (not necessarily people who are required to attend, but those who are observing or accompanying a family member) are unable to attend to protect their anonymity. Additionally, I’d presume this program requires him to drug test and/or do a breathalyzer during this time period, since it’s standard. Long story short! Let’s be grateful for the legal system continuing to afford people opportunities to better themselves and avoid lifelong repercussions! His celebrity status doesn’t matter here, he’s a citizen just as much as anyone else.
Get Mischa Barton next! She went through a LOT & it was gross Rachel tried to dismiss that. I'd love to hear Mischa's perspectives especially so she can talk freely!
Hey guys! I would have to say that AA as a whole organization welcomes anyone with a desire to stop drinking. But, the "anonymity" aspect of AA is incredibly important. Whether Nick Lachay either has a problem or is going there because of a court mandate, the program is always there. But AA follows the 12 steps with 12 principles and 12 traditions in the fellowship. It actually goes against AA principles to be brought into these kinds of public "programs" because AA is supposed to stand alone (though every meeting is democratic and conducted differently). I just think it involving the AA program as a requirement for punishment is ill advised. AA is a very much about "attraction rather than promotion."
Nick Viall you’re 100% wrong! Nick Lachey wasn’t over reacting, Nick Lachey had every right to be angry with the paparazzi because they were crossing the line.
Is the random mic being on mute on purpose? This happened this episode and on the last episode the mic went on and off so we can’t hear the person talking for a minute.
Absolutely not to sitting on the same side of the booth. It reads tacky to me and so weird that you cant spend an hour or two not touching. I’d say no 100% and also maybe get the ick a bit 😂 Also you have to turn your 90 degrees to talk - so uncomfy! I’ll throw something else into the mix - if you’re sitting at a 4 chair table, you must sit next to each other and not across but that’s because it’s close but not directly next to each other. That way you can both people watch and easily talk to each other - ideal!
I went on a 1st date where I wish I had said no to the guy sitting next to me! It was mid-date and I was so thrown off by the abruptness of it because he didn't ask, so in that context it felt like too much, too soon. But I sit on the same side with my boyfriend often now so it's probably a good gauge of how you feel about the person, which is harder to process and articulate in-the-moment early on.
Love Rachel the reason they never stole her Tv and other expensive stuff is because clothes are more personal than a television and its easy to sell clothes on the street or on social media
What mid life crisis is Nick going through with his clothing from the homeless look to the dress pants with the same converse to whatever the F he’s doing now 🥴 get engaged now look a mess 🤣
5th or 6th date, if she says no to me sitting next to her, I'm walking away from the date. Jax is another hypocrite addressing the scandal. Rachel shaming Nick on his 3rd engagement is hilarious. She is 41 single mom with no ring. He is in better situation for sure. The caller is learning the hard way that women don't really have male friends and guys hang out with women only for sex. The shame is warranted though.
@@harlowsmama3417 41 single mom cannot be great person and mom. If she was really great she wouldn't be in this situation. And she would be the first to admit she isn't great.
@@seven92023 what is her situation? I can promise you she is doing much better than most people, including better than you. To spew hate about her age and being a single mom is just nasty. Think before you say $hit .
Rachel is my favorite guest! I love when she called Nick out for his run-on question that turns into 20 questions at once.
Heads up- starting around 43:50 Amanda’s mic is wonky!
Rachel is so freaking likable. Like I can’t think of anyone MORE likable. I would give anything to be her bestie. I love how real she is.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 to Nick saying no to SK wanting to be on the show.
Also, love Rachel Bilson, great that you had her on again!!
Loved this episode and especially loved the length of this episode! Give us two hour Bach recaps and two hour everything! Love from India
I LOVE Rachel and her podcast, so happy to see her on here, and on an almost 2hour long episode no less. So good!

I sit on the same side of the booth as my husband. It’s the best so I can hear the conversation and don’t have to shout.
Nick is not in a good mood this episode
As a mother with a son on the spectrum, the casual use of the autism diagnosis is offensive and hurtful.
Is anyone else having sound problems at around 44 minutes especially when Amanda starts to talk? A lot of it was muted from my POV
Yes same here!! I thought something was wrong with my device!
Just have to say love Amanda!! She’s beauty and she’s grace! ..but seriously what a special person, I’m so impressed with how articulate, poised and thoughtful she is 💗.

Love Ally too...I just wish she would talk a bit more. She has a lot to contribute!
I don't know if anyone will see this but @44:06 the redhead's mic/audio cuts out. We cannot hear her. I apologize for not knowing her name.
When you have Natalie on the show, you should do a " behind the scenes " segment of the Bad Bunny video.
I'm good with sharing the booth when I'm in love :)

Nick should go to open AA meetings to increase his knowledge base. I'm sure he knows someone that goes.

Rachel is the best she's so funny and adorable and a badass ❤
I love Rachel, the best guest in my opinion
Before my husband id never sit on the same side of the booth as dates or boyfriends. But now we almost always do. 😂

Texting office hours: 1:26:32
What you came for 34:51
Reallll
I love Rachel and that sleeping dog! :)))
Why I don’t know which bad bunny video was Natalie on? Anyone?
Ojitos Lindos- Bad Bunny ft. Bomba Stereo
Who turned off Amanda’s mic at the 44 minute mark 🥲💔
Absolutely not to sitting on the same side of the booth. It reads tacky to me and so weird that you cant spend an hour or two not touching.

It was on a voice mail not in the studio

Rachel is amazing. One my biggest idols. Always amazing and fun listening to her. 💜💜💜
Love Rachel the reason they never stole her Tv and other expensive stuff is because clothes are more personal than a television and its easy to sell clothes on the street or on social media
Definitely no sitting on the same side of the booth when one on one
Hell yeah Ali! I would’ve said no too 🙌🏼
Definitely enjoy my space at a restaurant when I’m on a date. Major pet peeve if a guy wants to sit at the bar on dates!
aw amanda’s mic :(
Yes, but thank god for Nick or I wouldn’t know what she was talking about until I did…I do wish they could’ve called her mom
44min can't hear ally or amanda
What mid life crisis is Nick going through with his clothing from the homeless look to the dress pants with the same converse to whatever the F he’s doing now 🥴 get engaged now look a mess 🤣
she is like a mini Claudia Cardinale
Amanda >>>>
Right?! She’s wonderful 💗
@@bh7904 I prefer Ally
This interview was cutting in and out.
Way too much camera time on the 2 dump girls and the goof, and not the Movie star guest
5 head over there in a bit
I need to know what Natalie thought about bad bunny! sounds like he likes hooking up with all the models 😮
❤❤❤
😢
5th or 6th date, if she says no to me sitting next to her, I'm walking away from the date.

The shame is warranted? For what? 😂
@@bh7904 For casual sex and adding to her body count. But that is the price for the lesson these guys taught her.
Rachel is doing just fine without a ring. She’s a great person, mom and friend.

I was listening on Spotify but came to the video to see Nicks uggs
