    Daytime Part1

    In this episode, Thommo sits down with TikTok creator Daytime, also known off the app as Ricky, for a real and unfiltered conversation about the life experiences that shaped him. Daytime was young on a sheep farm, but his story really begins when he moves to Ararat — where life starts to change fast and the choices he makes begin shaping the man he would become. The conversation moves into one of the most serious and defining moments of his past — finding out his sister had been assaulted — and the events that followed, leading to him taking justice into his own hands and ending up in a kidnapping situation with the man he believed was responsible. He speaks openly about the mindset he was in, the fallout from those decisions, and the consequences that came with it. We also dive into his time travelling overseas, including a Las Vegas trip he describes as his own real-life “Hangover” style experience — wild, chaotic, and something you have to hear to believe. The episode doesn’t avoid the tough topics either. Daytime speaks honestly about drug use, prison cycles, and how easy it can be to get stuck in that lifestyle. But the biggest turning point in this story is fatherhood. Becoming a dad shifted his entire mindset and forced him to look at the future differently. His message now is simple: No more prison. No more that life. He’s done with it. This is a story about consequences, growth, loyalty, and making the choice to break cycles before they break you.
