Today on The Viall Files we are joined by town iconic television personalities, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling. Their new podcast 9021OMG gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at what was going on during the filming of 90210 as they watch it back for the first time together. Today we go outside of that box and discuss what it was like being women in the 90's in Hollywood, how were they treated, what was expected of them, how it impacted the women they have become, and the strong women they are raising. Jennie and Tori discuss vulnerability, social media and how authenticity is what matters at the end of the day. "We weren't aloud to have a voice, we just had to be perfect."

The Vow on HBO/max is a documentary that follows the stories of people who were intensely involved in the self-improvement organization, NXIVM. Identified as a sex cult, NXIVM is still dealing with charges of sex trafficking and racketeering while its founder, Keith Raniere, sits in jail and some of its highest members wait to be sentenced. Today we are joined by couple Sarah Edmondson and Nippy who met while in NXIVM and are considered to be two of the whistle blowers on the organization. Sarah found herself too deep in the cult - so deep that she was branded as part of a women's group called DOS which was ultimately the group responsible for sex trafficking. Once she stopped drinking the "koolaid" she was not only able to save herself, but also those around her, and help bring those responsible to justice. Nick and his guests have an intense conversation trying to understand the mindset of someone who joins a cult, how to try to avoid organizations that use manipulation to exploit people, and the understanding of being ashamed of your choices once leaving. "He made the obvious sound profound with big words that really didn't mean anything." You can get Sarah's book, Scarred?

We are back with another episode of Ask Nick. On today's show we begin with a woman whose friend's boyfriend keeps making advances in her direction and she doesn't know how to stop it. Our next caller took a break from sex after getting sober and realizing she was unable to have unattached sex. After getting a divorce and leaving a toxic relationship, we speak with someone who is trying to get back in the dating scene and trying to figure out if it is her ego or her insecurities are holding her back when she should be trusting her gut and letting herself be a little selfish. Lastly, we talk to someone who is seeing people she knows on dating apps after moving back to her hometown and is wondering if they are not matching on the app should she DM them or do they just not like her.

Our next caller is stuck in a new guy vs. ex guy scenario and is trying to figure out which one is her guy and if verbal cheating will be a deal breaker in her relationship.

On today's Bachelor Recap of The Women Tell All we are joined once again by Viall Files recap favorite, Jason Ritter. Jason comes in hot giving us his overall thoughts on the season, relieved that Matt addressed the topic he wanted to hear most about, kissing with his eyes open. Nick and Jason waste no time getting right into their usual analytical banter about the topics discussed from Anna's apology, Katie's comments about Karma, Victoria's lack of ownership, and finally how The Bachelor gave us a rare look at production by showing us what they took out of the show and how that will change the way an audience can watch the show. Make sure to stick around to the end to hear their Bachelorette predictions and final thoughts on who Matt may end up with. "I think she needs to go into a cave and scream out and then start over."

Next we speak with someone who has been dealing with her boyfriend and his addiction issues throughout their relationship. He admitted his discretions got sober & put in the work that made their relationship better, but now with the pandemic the past resentment he was feeling kept coming up and brought new issues into their relationship. Lastly one of our 10 percenters call in to get some advice on feeling like he is cheating on his fiancé with the sexually explicit dreams he is having.

Today we are joined by Psychic Medium Chris Medina. As a skeptic, Nick spends time to try and understand the difference between Psychics and Mediums, how the process works, and lets Chris read him a little bit to see if he is able to dig deep with him. Nick really wanted to know if Chris could just predict the Packers season but in opening himself up to learn about Chris's work, he was ok with that answer being a no and moving on to more personal topics. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer there is a little something for everyone in this episode. "What I am looking for is for you to get out of your way, so you can get out of my way."

Today we are joined by one of the most talked about contestants on this season of The Bachelorette, Noah Erb. Love him or hate him we take some time to hear more about who Noah is, his family, being on the front lines of COVID, and how he really approaches his sex life which is the opposite of the party boy mentality people seem to place on him. We also get to hear about what we did not see when it came to Bennett, Tayshia thinking he wasn't ready for marriage, and his conversations with Ben & Spencer off camera. "I am exactly in my life where I want to be for another person to come into my life."

Completing his "Viathalon" Justin Long joins us for this episode of the Viall Files where we will recap two nights of the Bachelorette. As a true member of Bach Nation Justin can not just focus on the episodes at hand he has to get in his thoughts on lie detectors, passive aggressive gifts, and math problems. As we have learned, when these two get together the conversation can go in any direction. Where does Justin fall in the Noah vs Bennett debate? Who makes his heart flutter? How many contestant impressions will he do? Nick & Justin, a duo you can't stop. "That is a f*$% ing hard thing to say, I don't like you, I don't like you enough, that is very difficult."

We have another extended version of Ask Nick for you this week as we are joined once again by the delightful, Justin Long. Will he tell one of our callers "he is just not that into you"? You will have to listen to find out so let's jump right into it. Our first caller is actively dating two people at once and thought that one would "fizzle" out but neither of them have. We then speak with someone who was dealing with the death of her father and needing the support of her boyfriend who was not showing up for her when she needed him most. Our next caller finds herself feeling constantly shamed by her boyfriend whenever things do not go according to HIS plan. A bigger dating issue comes up while chatting with someone who's original issue is that her boyfriend doesn't like it when she hangs out with her friends. Finally, a woman discovers her bi-sexuality when she realizes she has an attraction to her friend that she now is falling in love with and she is not sure how to tell her. " He is a hunk who never cultivated anything outside of his hunkiness" Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.
