Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh. This week we have a very special topic so we had to bring a very special guest to help us break it all down and we could think of no one better for this topic than The Challenge Historian, Jacob Hollabaugh. We start off by discussing some important Challenge topics such as the advancement of The Challenge channel on Pluto TV, how the show would be different if they hadn't stopped doing live audiences, our ideas for how production could actually do a live airing season, what we hope to see as far as cast rotation with the recent show expansion and even break down which Challengers started the trend of making this show a career and trust us, it's not who you think (0:00 - 25:25). Next we break into the episode by discussing our format, specifications that helped us make our lists, and begin breaking down the most influential male Challengers who majorly impacted the show, gameplay and/or fans. We discuss a variety of players including people like Chris Tamburello, Alton Williams, Brad Fiorenza, Derrick Kosinski, Darrell Taylor, Syrus Yarborough, Ace Amerson, Dan Setzler, Eric Nies, Mark Long, Timmy Beggy, Miz Mizanin, Theo Von, Dan Renzi and more (25:30 - 2:00:00). Then we finish up the episode by analyzing the most impactful female Challengers from the early seasons where we discuss the likes of Jodi Weatherton, Katie Cooley, Sarah Greyson, Holly Shand, Jullie Stoffer, Susie Meister, Ayanna Mackins, Aneesa Ferriera, Tina Bridges, Rachel Robinson, Veronica Portillo, Coral Smith and many more (2:00:00 - END). We had such an AMAZING time taking a trip down the MTV Real World VS Road Rules: The Challenge memory lane and highlighting some of the most influential and impactful players that made the game we all love today what it is. We hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hey listener, let's play Two Truths and a Lie! Guided meditation can be an effective treatment for sleepwalking, Justin has no idea who Eric Nies is, and this episode contains our weirdest joke yet! Now, your turn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Elaine welcomes her teenage crush, Eric Nies, to the show as they discuss the documentary, DMT: The Spirit Molecule. A documentary focuses on Dr. Rick Strassman's work and his groundbreaking research on the hallucinogen DMT which led us to a very enlightening talk about Eric's own journey into self-exploration and self-nurtured evolution that led him to clarity, peace, and light (and how you can do it too!). It will change your perception on who Eric is and hopefully change your perception of yourself. We also talk about inviting aliens friends to party with us at some point. You'll just have to listen.

The roommates are back on dry land in Homecoming Season 2, Episode 5: Moving Forward with a New Story, where we are treated to not one, but TWO Incoming Messages in one day. We revisit Tami's abortion in 1993, which leads to the other women of the house revealing their own abortion stories. We also see most of the roomies going on a desert retreat to Joshua Tree (Tami nopes out of that after being traumatized by the first trip there in 1993), where we are also treated to a sight for sore eyes: the one and only Eric Nies, who leads most of the roomies on a spiritual journey (David nopes out of that for various reasons). Glen begins to feel a sense of healing around the loss of his girlfriend, Kimberly, with Beth A.'s support. Other topics include the difference between a desert mouse and a kangaroo rat, yurt distinctions, the songs that Rebecca never skips, and Krystie's big moving announcement.

In episode 23 of The Hottest Party On TV podcast, Jeromme is joined by Club MTV dancer Melissa. If you watched MTV at all in the 90s, there's a good chance that you remember seeing Melissa on your TV screens. She joined Club MTV in 1991 and after the show abruptly ended the following year, she eventually became a mainstay on MTV's next big dance show The Grind. And if that's not enough, Melissa also ended up on MTV's aerobics-meets-dance show Daily Burn in the late 90s after The Grind came to an end. We get into what it was like being an MTV dancer for nearly a decade, what the differences were between the Downtown Julie Brown-helmed Club MTV and the Eric Nies-fronted The Grind, and fun stories of everyone from Bell Biv Devoe to White Zombie. Plus, a first for the podcast, a parking lot shoot-out story. Episode produced by Esteban Vargas. Stay tuned for new episodes dropping every Throwback Thursday.

If you need love and laughter in your life right now here it is in the form of B-Role's shenanigans in Kauai and the brightly shining, big light Penny Dinn-creator of La Luz Hawaii.

“The Real World: New York” alum and host of MTV's “The Grind” Eric Nies (Gemini sun, Taurus moon, Leo ascendant) joins Andy for a birth chart reading and interview. Since gracing the television screens of tens of millions of people around the world in the 1990s, Eric has embarked on a decades-long spiritual journey that brought him face-to-face with his ego and inner demons — and provided an opportunity to heal himself through the powers of Ayahuasca and psychedelic mushrooms (and, in turn, become a shaman and assist others' emotional and spiritual healing). In this “chart and chat,” Andy and Eric walk through Eric's birth chart with a focus on his Gemini sun, his many tenth house placements, his Sun-Neptune opposition, his Aries Midheaven, and his South Node in Leo and North Node in Aquarius. Andy also highlights a significant Pluto transit in Eric's near-future that signifies the beginning of an important new cycle. Learn more about astrology, and Eric Nies, in this latest episode!

Connect and follow Eric's journey over at his website: https://iamericnies.com/ as well as on instagram @ericnies333 Brandon Handley 0:41 Hey there spiritual dope. I am on there today with Eric nice, Eric has a he's got what I would call like, you went through like this kind of like a fame addiction, right? Like the fame tunnel kind of came out of that back in the day with a you know, empty V's real world, one of the you know, one of if not the first kind of reality TV show that was going on out there. But since then, you have taken this just incredible journey into like, the spiritual realm, all the way from like, you know, the Korean martial arts masters through like, you know, you've got your hooked up down there in Peru, right with some of these some medicinal practices, Native American practices, and like, these things are super exciting. And he's really glad to have you on here today, Eric Nies 1:36 man. Yes, thank you very much for having me. Sure. Brandon Handley 1:40 So one of the things that I always start this podcast off with is the idea is that we're vessels for source, right. And that source is kind of flowing through us at all time. And the idea is that somebody listened to this podcast today. And like I told you, like, so you're gonna change somebody's life today, just by showing up. Eric, right by being on this podcast. And there's a certain message is coming through you that can only be delivered through you to that person. What would you say that messages today? Eric Nies 2:12 acceptance. Total acceptance of yourself. Unconditional Love of yourself, relationship that you have with yourself is probably the most important thing in somebody's life. Yeah. Brandon Handley 2:31 What would you say? The that journey kind of look like for yourself? getting to that point? Eric Nies 2:37 Oh, wow. It's been many, many years. And I've been on a spiritual journey, probably for about 30 years of my life, starting, you know, hero's journey, for me, you know, that just going through many valleys of darkness. Going into these places, you know, into the shadow and into the ego and into the fears and the judgments and the insecurities and all those things that we carry around, you know, with us and, you know, to just go in into the darkness to be able to come out in the lake. I think that's what, you know, my journey pretty much has been all about. Now, for sure, would you Brandon Handley 3:27 happen to have like, any moment where you feel like you really grasped onto the idea of self acceptance? Eric Nies 3:34 for yourself, I've had many, many, many moments. Yeah. Probably about 10 years working with iwoca, and mushrooms. With the passing of meditation, just really wanting to understand how to liberate the soul from from its own suffering. But it wasn't until I started looking into the depths of ancestral lineage programming, and going back into my past lives, to understand you know, why I feel the way that I feel today? What What is, what is my life mean? What, what is the purpose of my life? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Now? What's the bigger picture of why we're here on planet Earth? I don't think many people really have an understanding of, of why we're here. I think you know, that that question lingers in every human's mind. You know, why are Why are we here? You know, who am I? Sure, yeah. Unknown Speaker 4:55 What's your answer so far? What have you landed on to this point? Eric Nies 5:00 I think we're all part of a grand experiment between light and dark, kind of like a game. I think it's, you know, it's an experiment that's been going on for a long, long, long time. And I think darkness has has won most of the time, and I believe that there's been resets, you know, I think that's why we see, you know, ancient remnants of ancient civilizations. And so, yeah, I just think it's a game, and how, and how do you play the game is really what it's all about? Sure. So Brandon Handley 5:38 like, kind of the idea of you are the creator, almost of the game that you're playing? would you would you put it like, into that term? Eric Nies 5:46 Absolutely. Okay. I mean, we are, you know, we're infinite potential creators, we're obviously creators, because we can create another life. So we're constantly, you know, creating the life that that we're experiencing. Right? So yeah, for sure. We're creators. Brandon Handley 6:07 And we say, like, kind of a reset you thinking like matrix resets? type deal? Eric Nies 6:12 I think of, you know, yeah, entire reset of a civilization, you know, looking back to Egypt and Atlantis and the Maria and all these ancient civilizations that were, you know, thriving at one point or another, right, but something happened. And now, where did they go? Right, like, Brandon Handley 6:33 just the total reset there, um, the, the Grandmaster that you hope hooked up with. And for those of you tuning in, I would recommend just kind of go to, I'm Eric nice and read some more of his story, because I'm gonna, we only have 30 minutes. So I'm gonna dig into some of the questions I've got about your story. Right? So when you hung out with the Grand Master, then this is just more tongue in cheek than not, but like, Did he give you an answer for the pyramids? Eric Nies 7:01 That's a great question. Yes. What did he say? Brandon Handley 7:06 Yeah, what was the answer on that one? Eric Nies 7:09 I mean, they moved. A lot of, you know, ancient civilizations such as Egypt. Their minds were very, very powerful. You know, and we're talking about an infinite possibility of consciousness. You know, we do we kind of live in a society, and in a world now where we're actually accessing that very, very small amounts of of that and actually utilizing consciousness. You know, or not utilizing consciousness the way that it it actually could be used. But yeah, my grand master was, was really profound, he could do things that would just blow your mind. Brandon Handley 8:00 Very hard to believe. And I let me I love that story, too. Because it makes like, I'm like, that just seems like the ultimate experience. I mean, like, I've watched a lot of Kung Fu, but I never got to have that experience. Like, you know, where the guy goes and gets to stay with the Grandmaster. And like, you did the things that are like, truly like Moody, yes, but this was like, that was your life, and it was legit. And I think that that, like, really cool. So you've been on this journey? I mean, you know, 20, almost 30 years now. Right? Um, one of the things that I think is really cool is that you're using some of this plant based medicine to help people with their addiction recovery. Could you walk me through what that might look like? If I came up to him like, hey, Eric, I'm ready. I'm ready to kick the habit. Let's go on this journey. Can you tell me a little bit about what that may look like? Eric Nies 8:44 Yeah, sure. Well, I mean, on the physical level, if you have to, obviously detox the physical body, from the chemicals and the drugs, that person's using in those things, they come with a heaviness, a frequency and a vibration that is much heavier. You know, then you are in your air, fire, water and earth, Earth shoot Earth suit. You know, so on the physical side of things, you have to go through a very deep detox, you know, once we go through the physical part of it, and then we get into the emotional and psychological reasons for why you are addicted. Where does that come from? What's the root cause of your addiction? And so then that gets into the subconscious mind that gets into your childhood that gets into traumas, and all different things that have happened to you not only in this life, but in your past lives. Understand why you behave the way that you behave. And we look at the emotional content of your behavior. Why do you behave the way that you behave? And are your emotions controlling you? Or are you controlling your emotions? And so then you have the physical, the emotional and the psychological and the bring them all together, and it becomes a spiritual journey. But the real understanding is, you know, ancestral lineage programming, you know, how were you imprinted and program from these behavior patterns from your family? Brandon Handley 10:33 And you do like you say, you kind of you kind of goes down like this quantum cellular reprogramming level. Can you talk a little bit more, share a little bit more about what that's like? And you know, what goes into that? Eric Nies 10:47 You're talking about quantum cellular, I think you're talking about the cyber Brandon Handley 10:51 skin. Is that is that what I'm talking about? Because Yeah, there it is the quantum cellular balancing. Right? Yes, about that. Eric Nies 10:57 That's a Tesla technology. That was a device that was created by a German physicist that uses, you know, quantum quantum physics to to help to heal the body. But that that's outside. Brandon Handley 11:12 Yeah, sorry. That's outside of the addiction recovery. Like that's something separate from that. Eric Nies 11:17 Yeah, that that that was a business that I was a part of, of my business, I would use it sometimes for rehabilitation, but it's not really necessary. The real key is getting to the root cause of the issue. Once you find the root cause of the issue, then the addiction is over. Right. Now, what about Brandon Handley 11:41 plant medicine involved? The Addiction Recovery? Is that a part of the process as well? Eric Nies 11:48 Yeah, can be amid the program that I created, which is called the beauty way, which I've been using for about 15 years. Plant medicine is not a part of that. But in some cases, if there's a lot of resistance, and they need to, like break through the different things that are happening with the individual plant medicine could be very, very beneficial. Like I was gonna actually does the work for you. So my program would be bringing somebody into the desert for three to four weeks. It's it's all natural superfoods breath, work, grounding, meditation, you know, really diving into, you know, that person's childhood. But with Iosco you just drink Iosco, what I call the rails. Yeah, hold the rails and attend the shows everything. Brandon Handley 12:46 You fair fair enough. Yeah. Um, you know, one of the things that I think, you know, I read your documentary, and I listened to something you were doing last year doing this, you know, taking in this plant medicine, right? He's, I think it was like three, three plants that you were you know, getting to know, right, you had to know me no loud music, no sex with yourself or anybody else. Like I mean, is that journey complete? Where are you at in that process? Eric Nies 13:16 Um, yeah, that's a data that I was on for about a year you diet these specific plants, either for healing or for the transfer of knowledge. But yeah, my my idea to is it's close since then. Brandon Handley 13:35 would you would you mind sharing Would you be able to share the plants that you can you did the journey with and what some of the takeaways were with that? Eric Nies 13:43 Yeah, absolutely. The the first two that I dieted for eight months was run Akita and swell the can swelled up, and when Akita is, is actually a tree, and it assists you with rage and anger and swell the welder is a plant and that's more for a heart opener also swelled as well the console is used to help heal your, your skeletal structure. So I had issues with my spine, I had a couple of slipped slipped discs that I that I wanted to work on and so they suggested swell that can swell the for that and then read Akita was for rage and anger that I was holding on to from traumas in my childhood. And morosa is the third plant that I diet and she's considered the queen of the aquatic kingdom. And she she's more of a heart opener as well. She's very beautiful and loving and kind and so my process was to heal from the traumas in my life and the plants helped me to do that. And that At the same time, they helped me to open up my heart and to, you know, walk a life of beauty and unconditional love with no judgment. Brandon Handley 15:13 I think that's really cool. I think that first one, the rage release or one, I think that needs to be sold like in bulk right across, like, across the country, right? I think we could all use a little bit of that. And I want to kind of flip back to, right before you got into this space, you know, as you were doing like a bunch of book club and and, you know, the club music accuracy and all this other stuff. You know, seems like back in the early mid 90s. I was in the same scene, right? Similar scene, you were you were leading the scene. I was like, you know, showing up? But like, do you would you attribute any kind of like, you know, the music or any of like, the interaction it that time and space in place to get you to where you are today? Because I think, you know, Oh, yeah, yeah, if you're part of like any of the rave culture or anything like that, that was going on, it was all about like some of this stuff that we're talking about right now. Eric Nies 16:16 I've had some incredible experiences in the club scene with ecstasy and ketamine and mushrooms and and all that. I mean, yes, I was still in a deep house said. So my vibe is more deep soulful house music. But if you are familiar with deep soulful house music and the where that originated from, you know, came from basically from churches in Chicago. And so very deep spirit, as a very deep spiritual side to the type of house music that I listened to. Right. And the messages are very, very spiritual. So it it assisted me keeping me alive and almost killing me at the same time, but the messages in the music really inspired me and opened up my mind to go on my spiritual journey. Yeah, so Brandon Handley 17:23 the curious about that, right. Because I agree with you, there's that there's that whole soulful, you know, vocal house music fan myself, right. And the messaging like you're talking about, it's like, it's uplifting, it's soulful. And you know, if I can dance it out a little bit, like, I'm okay with that at the end of the day, right? versus like, I don't know, some of the other messages that you get from somebody. So just it was just curiosity piece. Um, so the last kind of part of your documentary left us with you getting connected with this like Angel guy, right. And just kind of like this felt like there was a felt like, there was a cusp of transcendence happening right there. We want to talk a little bit about, you know, where we left off, and Eric nice documentary online, and, you know, kind of what's happened after that? Eric Nies 18:16 Yeah, that's it, that guy's from Australia. And he mastered john, he communicates with angels. And I, a friend of mine invited me to go to his event. And I went, and then at the end of the event, they just by choice, they choose a couple of people that can go sit with him. And, yeah, just by chance, he, he chose me, and I can't really remember exactly, he was, it was just, I get a lot of confirmation, you know, intuitively, being on a spiritual journey, I have a lot of psychics and a caustic readers and mediums and grandmasters and shamans. And, you know, my life is just really about angels and demons. And so I get little bits of information about my life, about my path and my purpose and all those things, you know, year after year after year after year. So he was just another another guy, another healer that came into my life that was you know, reaffirming and confirming, you know, a lot of things that happened to me in my life, and from my life purpose. Brandon Handley 19:42 I gotcha. So, as I'm kind of reading your story, I'm thinking of like you mentioned, Joseph Campbell's like, you know, the, the hero's journey right earlier. I'm thinking of like, you know, also just kind of surrendering yourself right to whatever kind of comes your way Way, has that been a big part of what you've done? Just kind of surrender to it and follow your bliss? Eric Nies 20:08 Oh, absolutely. I mean, really, at the end of the day of the hero's journey, you put all of your trust into source into God, and trust that, you know, your soul, set things up a certain way. And by, you know, surrendering, you know, you, you actually can make your life a whole lot easier and a lot more magical. If you just get out of the way. Brandon Handley 20:40 For sure. Absolutely. Eric Nies 20:42 I mean, that's really the biggest problem for most is the mind getting in the way, and creating judgment, creating these stories that are not even real. So, you know, identifying your fears and your judgments, and being able to work through those and heal your you know, heal the inner child is the like the first step, but my path has been, you know, healing my ancestral lineage. So this goes back 1000s of years. Brandon Handley 21:20 Like, very, if you were gonna describe somebody to somebody like what it means to heal your ancestral lineage, what would you say? Eric Nies 21:33 Yes, so, you know, you're talking about your ancestors, you're talking about, you know, program, right, we're talking about behavioral programming, that gets passed down from one generation to the next, to the next to the next to the next, and it just keeps on going. So you know, the different behavioral programs that we inherit, from our ancestors, there's different types of behavior patterns. You know, a lot of us most, you know, we all we all deal with abuse on, you know, one level or another, whether it's physical abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, or even spiritual abuse. And so this has been going on for 1000s and 1000s, of 1000s of years, here on this planet, you know, this, this planet is really a slave planet, to fear and judgment. But, you know, fear is something that we create, in our own minds, it's actually not real, it's an illusion. It's like the great illusion. And it's what keeps all of us collectively and consciously slaves to something that isn't even real. And this is, this is what the whole experience is about. So, ancestral lineage, healing, and the liberation of the soul. This is something that Jesus and Buddha spoke about. And it's their teachings that were left behind. You know, Buddha and Jesus both realize how to liberate themselves, from their own suffering. And what that looks like, is basically objective observation of the sensations or the suppressed emotion that are in your body. So if you can objectively look at yourself without judging yourself and without clinging to some blissful experience, and not judging, some gross experience, you can find the middle lane which Buddha, coining probably the word I think this word probably came from Buddha, which is equanimity, you know, to live your life economist and find the middle lane. You know, then you can find yourself in a very peaceful and harmonious place with yourself, and with nature, and humanity and the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom, and everything that exists here on planet Earth. And so the reason why you want to do that is because we live on a planet of duality. You have negative and you have positive energy here. Well, you don't want to go too far into the negative and you don't want to go too far into the positive because both can bring suffering. You want to find the middle lane, the quantumness Lane. And based off of my own personal experience, you know, this is just based off of what I've experienced in my own life. This isn't about reading a book or, you know, somebody else's teaching when working with plant medicine, and also working with possum, meditation, you know, that's where I've gone within myself personal was to look at the vibrations and the frequencies of the experiences that I've had in my life that my physical body hold on to energetically. But these, these, these, these frequencies in these energies, if they're not, if they're not in harmony and imbalance with air, fire, water and earth, then they cause a disruption in your personal field. And then that can come with anxiety, depression, you know, where the physical body feels uncomfortable. But what Buddha experienced was the liberation of that, the release of all of that energy, not just from this life, but from your past lives. Because you bring that energy with you, your soul, your soul carries information, and frequency, and energy and vibration with it from one life to the next to the next to the next to the next. And it's also within your DNA. So that's ancestral lineage, healing, it's healing and transforming the energy of your lineage that is passed down from generation, the generation generation. Brandon Handley 26:52 Awesome. So that means is, you know, just thinking like you're talking about, like, all these kind of like, energies come mishmash, together throughout time, I'm just thinking like, a messy ball a string, right? That you just got to spend time to undo right and, and loosen it up. So there's not a big, big old tangled mess. You know, thanks for thanks for sharing that. What is like something that you haven't been able to share out on a podcast or a platform that you've just been wanting to share out Eric Nies 27:22 about that at all. I'm completely transparent with my life and all my experiences. vulnerability is my best friend. You know, I'm just here to be transparent, and to be fearless in my expression of everything that's happened to me, in my life. You know, if you look on my website, and you read my story, then you can see obviously, that I'm not shy about sharing everything that I've experienced. Now for sharing, Brandon Handley 27:53 you've definitely shared some stuff understanding Eric Nies 27:55 is that transparency and vulnerability is going to liberation. Brandon Handley 28:02 Nice. The so what's next for you? Eric? I know you were talking about doing a healing temple sounds like you finished up with this. The plant journey what's what's next on dock for you? Eric Nies 28:18 Yeah, I'm working on a book right now. And a second book coming through and earthkeeper book connecting with the people to create our temple you know, guiding people and assisting people sharing information with other people to help them to understand how to liberate themselves from their own suffering, and just exploring and journey around the world to share this information. Brandon Handley 28:47 That's fantastic. That's awesome. Who should be reaching out to your click? I mean, are you do you know, what type of work are you doing right now and who should be reaching out to you? Eric Nies 29:00 what people should be reaching out Brandon Handley 29:02 like if they wanted if they want to work with you, are you still doing are you still doing like Addiction Recovery?

Fair enough. The Brandon Handley 29:41 whole world's invited so wish we send everybody to connect with you where I am Eric nice, calm. Where else? Eric Nies 29:51 Yeah, I am Eric. Nice, calm and then also my I got an Instagram channel into Derek. Nice. I think it's there. Nice. Three, three. Three from not mistaken. But yeah, pretty much Graham and also Facebook. I got a Facebook channel where I've taken, I got about 1515 years of footage. And we just finished documenting two weeks here in Peru with an Iowa Oscar retreat. And all of that is going to be available on my Facebook page on my fan page. Yeah, it's Brandon Handley 30:35 awesome. Now that's pretty that's pretty, pretty intense. 15 years and then, you know, just this past couple weeks of Iosco well look man, I just want to say thanks for taking the time for showing up today. And you doing what you're doing, I think, opens it up for a lot of other people like your vulnerability, your journey, kind of what's possible if you do follow your bliss and being able to have a wonderful life if you kind of surrender to it the way that you have. Eric Nies 31:08 Yeah, brother. Well, thank you very much for having me, Brandon and many blessings for you and your family on your journey. And I look forward to seeing what magic you create in your life. Appreciate it. Transcribed by https://otter.ai

This is the true story of seven strangers picked to live in a house, work together, and have their lives taped. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real…. The Real World. We sat down with Eric Nies a few months prior to MTV’s decision to bring the entire cast of the original real world back together to live in the same loft almost thirty years later. Mr. Eric Nies was part of the granddaddy of all of reality TV, the original Real World, New York, Season One. THE show that changed, introduced, formed and revolutionized Reality TV. Welcome Eric. We start at the beginning by asking the question, just how did Eric get cast on the first ever Real World in NYC and what was casting like back when. With no prior reality show to look to, we discuss how he knew what to do when the cameras started rolling - he didn’t. With no predecessor to look to, we discuss how this makes the Real World, New York, Season One possibly the most authentic reality TV show ever. Eric discusses his hesitations to do certain things not knowing how the final product would turn out and the influence of producers and editing back then. He discusses how he was able to get used to cameras around 24/7 and what he thought of the finished product once aired. Eric discusses what MTV was like back in the day when it was the Chanel that played music all day and how he thought the Real World would maybe be a little show that a few people watched. On that note, we talk about how life suddenly changed once the show aired and became a multigernational blockbuster of supreme magnitude. We discuss his house mates Julie, Norman, Heather, Kevin, Becky and Andre and who he keeps in touch with today. He explains how once the Real World ended he was offered the gig as host of Club MTV, which led to MTV’s The Grind (also featuring a pre RHOBH Camille Grammer), which led to The Grind Workout Videos, which led to a long career as both a Competitor and Host of the classic MTV juggernaut The Challenge. He had movie offers, modeling offers and who could forget that Bruce Weber photoshoot book he was in with his brother (Google It). Being the hot commodity in town, no one said no. Money, fame, booze, drugs, women, anything at his fingertips that he wanted, Eric seemingly had it all. Until he didn't. With an addictive personality, Eric finally hit rock bottom and had his “aha" moment when he realized he needed to transform his life. He started working with Grandmasters and Shaman’s and currently runs a successful practice as a life, health, wellness, nutrition guide, spiritual guide and addiction rehabilitation facilitator for those in need. That is a long cry from the streets of New York and the height of fame. Eric and David discuss the aftermath of being in the spotlight, how fame is possibly the most addictive drug of all, the highs and lows of the entertainment business and how to navigate it successfully and come out the other side. A truly spectacular sit down you do not want to miss with The Real World New York’s Eric Nies. @nies.eric@behindvelvetrope@davidyontefBonus Episodes Available On Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetropeBrought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope (10% Off First Month - Use Code "velvet rope")Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
