The comedian joined Courtney Bee on her podcast, We Playin' Spades, alongside former NFL stars Ryan Clark and Channing Crowder, and discussed research that found more men were seeking vasectomies.
"It's another man at this table that needs to think about that," joked Channing as he looked at Nick.

"As much as I was open to every single child that I have, I can't say the majority of themwere planned," he said on*The Language of Love with Dr. Laura Bermanpodcast.*
"If you would have told me in 2012 when I was still married and just diagnosed with Lupus that 10 years from now, that I would have 12 children, I'd be like there is no way in the world that I would ever plan that or that would happen."
He added: "It's almost like when you have these manifestations or visions, if that's what you want to call them, it's like 'Oh, that all makes sense now.'"

The Wildin' Out star explained that he had to organize his schedule to the minute in order to coordinate seeing all of his children, which was not always foolproof.
"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children," he saidon The Checkup with Dr. Agus. "One, 'cause I'm constantly working and two, becauseI'm just spread thin."

Holidays are a family affair, as Nick attempts to stop by each of his children's homes to spend time with them.
I thank God for their mothers," he told Us Weekly."They kind of plan accordingly,andthey don't have to be, but they're real empathetic to my process. So, you know, they do things. I've seen them make so manysacrifices, so I can be there and haven't missed a birth or a birthday yet."
