The Viall Files

On today's Ask Nick we start with a someone who is confused after getting a divorce and moving back in with her ex husband. He is saying all the right things but she is wondering if she is able to get over the resentment she feels from their unhealthy relationship. Next, a bestie writes in and her friend joins us to discuss her relationship. After hearing her friend talks about how she is not sure she wants to be with her boyfriend anymore- and definitely is not into having sex with him- she is stuck with her boyfriend wanting to try more and more and more and she, may just not love him anymore. Our third caller is accepting less than what she deserves from a guy that she wants to date, but she needs to remember what she wants and move forward in that direction. Last, we speak with someone who was on vacation with her boyfriend and some of his old friends when, while sitting next to her, he puts his hand on the leg of a girl that he used to date. She goes back and forth in her mind wondering if it is ok or not since he did it front of her. "It doesn't matter how good we are when we're good, it is how bad we are when we're bad."

We are joined by Christa Allen today to have a conversation about life and relationships. Most people know Christa from 13 Going On 30, or Revenge, and now from her strong Tik Tok game. Christa is about to turn 30 and we talk about her perspective on growing up with expectations versus the reality of reaching a certain age, questions that you should and should not ask on dates (and how they indicate what your future with that person could be,) if society is assigning value to people by using different metrics, jealously, and being in a relationship while maintaining friendships with the opposite sex. Nick and Christa really cover it all and share their experiences and lessons learned. "If you feel judged on a date, it usually means you're being judged."

On today's Ask Nick we start with a woman who is dealing with someone she dated that just won't take no for an answer, and is trying to figure out whether he's being obsessive or if she possibly needs a restraining order. Secondly, a 3-year "situationship" filled with gaslighting and mixed signals has gotten her to the point of needing to express clearly what she wants- or her future will be filled with questions. Our next caller is stuck in a RomCom with passive aggressive behavior on both sides and the confusion is making this real life movie longer than it needs to be. Lastly, we chat with a guy who was blindsided by his girlfriend breaking up with him but realizes they never really spent time defining the relationship.

Kelly Osbourne and Jeff Beacher join us today for a very honest conversation mixed with a little bit of chaos. Today we catch up with these best friends the week before the launch of their podcast, The Kelly Osbourne and Jeff Beacher Show, on May 4th. Known for their dynamic and outrageous personalities, they were completely uncensored with us as we discussed Kelly and Jeff's recent relapses, their views on addiction, and the mental challenges they overcame when they made the life choice to have weight loss surgery. We definitely have a little fun investigating some earrings left behind in Jeff's bathroom and finding out how these two "Howard Hughes" themselves through quarantine. But if this episode is an indication of all the directions their show can go in the future, then get ready for a heck of a ride. "Kelly also thinks the Matrix is a documentary."

It's Monday which means it is time for Ask Nick. Today we start with someone who has been living in a toxic relationship with a boyfriend who tests her, gets irrational, and gaslights her. Then, you get a little insight into what goes on between callers as our own Amanda gets some Ask Nick advice herself after questioning whether or not she should Venmo-back the cost of a gift from someone she was seeing. Nick, of course, digs a little deeper and opens a whole different can of worms. Our next caller has always been attracted to guys with that Big D*ck Energy, but now she is dating an introvert and is not sure how to handle the getting-to-know-you process with him. We then chat with a women who keeps having anxiety about her relationship that is actually going well, but her partner continually gives her compliments and it makes her nervous. Our final caller is starting to date people outside of her trust circle, and she is faced with trying to figure out the right time for her to tell her dates that she has a sexually transmitted disease as she faces the constant stigmas that go along with this conversation. "It is ok to question why someone is complimenting you."

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?

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.

On this episode of Ask Nick we start with someone who is confused after the break-up of her first big love when her ex calls and asks if she would be willing to have a threesome with his new fiancé. 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."

It's Monday, which means it is time for Ask Nick! On today's episode we start with a caller that has finally brought it to the bedroom with her new boyfriend and finds out there is a way he prefers to "finish" that she was not expecting and she is wondering if it is a red flag or something she should just go with. Our second caller is stuck at the point in her dating relationship where she wants to define the relationship and she does not know how to approach it. 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. "…You be very specific, you be unafraid, you be bold, and at the risk of you being disappointed, you tell him how you feel and what you want."

Today we are speaking with Ricky Williams. Most of you would likely know Ricky as a former NFL player but we discover today he is so much more. Ricky realized one day that he was being defined by being an athlete, by being in the NFL and he decided to change his life to make sure that he could be something more than that. Retiring and finding his spiritual journey through astrology, and taking a holistic approach to to his body, and working in Cannabis made people think he was crazy but what he found was creativity and inspiration for what his future was going to be outside of the NFL.

On tonights recap of The Bachelor we are joined by ABC Senior Vice President of Alternative Series, Specials, & Late Night Programming, Rob Mills. We always love it when Rob stops by not only to give us his take on all things Bachelor but also to see what hints we may get on what we can look forward to later in the season. Today Nick and Rob talk about the women who seem to be getting a lot of attention on the show, the women really being casted for Matt, how politics and religion can play a role going forward in the franchise, Nick's thoughts on Heather arriving to the scene, and whether or not we can be looking forward to an AFR this season.

You have been asking for it so we decided to put it together… welcome to the first Ask Nick update episode. This week we go back and reconnect with some of the callers that we spoke with this past year to see where they ended up in their situationships. Some of our callers still needed some tough love but we were happy to hear Nick did not destroy anyone's life! Our Callers Original Stories: Episode 142 featured Catherine, who was in a relationship where her boyfriend decided to bring someone else in to make them a thruple and she was not confident in that decision. Steven was wondering why someone he had feelings for and connected with was starting to pull away from him and did not know if he should wait for her. Brittany wanted to open up her Mormon marriage on episode 134 because of the lack of sexual experience she and her husband had before getting married. Paulina wanted to open up the relationship with her younger boyfriend, who lacked experience, to try and have some control. She was trying to make sure he experienced other people and would not one day feel like he missed out on sexual experiences and leave her. Mackenzie was in episode 142 and she did not know she was being used by someone who was cheating on his girlfriend. Melissa spoke in episode 165 about how she really wanted to date her friend with benefits, however, he was sending mixed signals by offering to pay off her car, instead of showing interest in a relationship. Featured on episode 151, Stacy's mother had made some inappropriate racially insensitive remarks to her daughter about dating and she needed some advice on how to approach her about apologizing for her actions.
