Chapter 1: What happened to Nick at Rikers Island?
I'm a CEO being attacked by two inmates. I hit the button and nobody comes? Correct. I was illegally, medically terminated.
I don't make enough money or have enough money if I live long. I'm going to have to work till I die.
Right.
And I needed some kind of pension or something. And so I ran into some guy, some correctional officers, and they're telling me all the money they're making and that there's no wage limit. And I'm like, are you serious?
How old were you?
I was 44. Really? Yeah. And everything they said checked off and I applied and here I am.
So did you have to go to like a school or something?
No, no, no. I mean, they hire you. They just show up the day.
They give you a badge.

Chapter 2: What are the challenges faced by correction officers?
How long until you get to one of those units? They do. They do.
But even there, they don't send you to the high classification guys because you just don't have the training and the experience to go out there or even know what the hell you're doing to deal with those guys. And they know those guys are savages. They're sharks. They can smell the newness in you, and they'll take advantage of you immediately. I mean, like blood in the water.
I mean, you know how it is.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. They could tell with the shiny shoes, the new belt, the shield. Actually, no, at the academy, we didn't have the shields yet. But a lack of a shield, they're like, oh, that's like a substitute teacher. Hey, fellas, party is on.
So how long do you work there? I mean, how long-
I was there for three and a half years before I was illegally, medically terminated.
You ever read a headline and think, wait, that's not what I read earlier. Or hear a story that was covered two totally different ways and think, I wonder which one's telling the truth. We all know the news can be biased. Algorithms push stories that they think you want to see. And some outlets spin stories to fit a certain agenda.

Chapter 3: How does the hiring process for correction officers work?
It's exhausting trying to figure out what's real, what's exaggerated, and what's just straight up misinformation. That's why I use Ground News. It's a news platform that doesn't just show you the headlines. It shows you the whole story.
It gathers articles from across the political spectrum, tells you the bias of each source, and even lets you compare how different outlets are framing the same event. For example, the recent federal health agency layoffs. Left-leaning news described the layoffs as a major crisis, calling them a bloodbath that could harm important public health work like tracking diseases.
On the other hand, right-leaning news saw the layoffs as positive change. They called it a win-win for taxpayers, which could save $1.8 billion a year. Both sides agree the layoffs and changes were happening, but they strongly disagree on what it meant. Ground News lets you compare these side-by-side so you can actually see the bias and decide for yourself what to believe.
You can also see things like how news sources are covering a particular story, political leaning of news outlets, and the blind spot feed where you can see stories that are disproportionately covered by one side of the political spectrum. In a world of clickbait and echo chambers, having access to all perspectives is more important than ever. That's why I love Ground News.
It helps me cut through the noise and stay truly informed. And right now you can get 40% off the Vantage plan for unlimited access. Just hit the link in my description, ground.news backslash inside and start seeing the news differently today.
I can't wait for my day in court. I could talk about it freely on this podcast because everything I say, I have the paperwork, everything lines up to everything I'm saying. Cities, all they're doing is just delaying, delaying, delaying because my foot's on their throats.
Right.
And there's no way they can get out of it. And I can't wait until somebody takes a stand right there in front of a jury and faces me and my attorney on what happened there.
Do you want to? Ask me anything you want to know. Ask me anything. What happened?

Chapter 4: What led to Nick's legal battle against NYC?
Yeah.
Period. Right. And that's a fact. Right. So as I was saying, so these guys wanted to really give me a hard time. You know, they're always looking for your trigger to try to find something so they could weaponize it and use it against you. So make you cry or something.
Yeah.
So they're con men.
They're all, all inmates are fucking scammers, con men. Yeah.
But this, this guy, I liked, you know, what he said with the creative shit that he came up with, just built me up just to shatter me. And he played the racial component, the racial factor in the black guys are blessed in a certain way more than white guys.
Okay.
Right. And my last name is Goichai, right? And he says my last name perfectly, like he's Albanian. Right. And most of these guys are from the Bronx just like I am. And so I think that in some ways we kind of connected in that sense that lived in the same neighborhoods and stuff. It's like, hey, Goichai, man. And I see all of a sudden now the whole housing area gets quiet. So something's up.
I was like, they put this kid up to do something, some kind of trick or something. Whatever it is, I'll figure it out eventually. He's like, hey, man, I could tell that when your girlfriend brought you home to meet her family, they were really proud of you. They would say, they put their arms around you and said, yeah, he's one of us. He's with us.

Chapter 5: How does COVID-19 impact prison management?
I forget if it's... Oh, that's fucking ballsy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's insanity.
He walks in like he belongs. Like he's a cop walking into the locker room to get ready to change and put on a uniform and go on patrol. And cops are like, yo, who are you? He's like, oh, he made up some name. Oh, I am John Doe, whatever the name is. Officer so-and-so.
Yeah. 22nd Precinct.
I've been deep undercover in this drug operation, and I'm getting promoted. I'm here to just pick up my shit. I'm going to one police plaza, which is the police headquarters, to pick up my shit. So he knew the layout of the whole precinct, the lingo. And the steps on where to get promoted and where to go. He knew all that. He goes in. He breaks into an off-duty cop's locker. Not to steal the gun.
Not to steal anything. To steal the uniform. He puts the uniform on. Walking past dozens of cops. It's like, yo, something's up with this guy. Something's up. Something doesn't make sense with this fucking guy.
Is he wearing a yarmulke? Yes.
Yes.
