Our second caller broke up with her boyfriend when his ego and lack of empathy for other people started to take a toll on their relationship. Next, we speak with a woman who was confused when she and her boyfriend stopped having sex and he kept coming up with excuses on why he did not want to be intimate. Now that they are broken up he is looking for closure but she has moved on and is wondering if she needs to give it to him. Our final caller started dating someone and he ended it with her saying that he works with one of her family members so it makes it too difficult to date.

She has an issue with people meeting her and assuming she is awkward only to come to the realization she is not.

Lastly, we speak about healing and love-bombing in an on-and-off again relationship, when speaking about past relationships and trauma brings jealously into a relationship that our caller keeps trying to sustain on technicalities.  “The only thing that you are doing wrong is ignoring yourself.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

Second, we have  a woman who’s friendship with a guy has grown into something more, but he is moving to a different country and after a month of starting to date each other he wants to have a long distance commitment but she is unsure if it is the right decision for them. Next, a boyfriend makes plans that don’t include his girlfriend over a holiday weekend which included her birthday, so in turn she uninvited him to her birthday, and now she is wondering if she was being too spiteful. Finally, we chat with a woman who spent time with someone in her friend group on a vacation and she thinks there may be something there but she has yet to hear from him and is unsure if she should make the first move.  “He wants something to be certain of, knowing he is going into a world of uncertainty.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

On today's episode of Ask Nick we first speak with a woman who is struggling with her husband's new jealousy when it comes to her co-workers of the opposite sex. Our second caller had a baby and her husband who originally wanted to have more than one child has since decided he would not like to have any more children. She still wants a bigger family and now doesn’t know how to handle this without either of them feeling some resentment. Third, we chat with someone who finds someone she likes on apps, the dating is great, and then as soon as it is time to define the relationship, they flake. Finally, a woman is concerned about her sister-in-law getting married to the wrong person and doesn’t know how to help open her eyes since he is basically the only guy she has ever known.  “Stop calling it serial dating, it’s just called dating.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

Today on The Viall Files we are joined by The Bachelorette herself, Katie Thurston. Katie shares with us what we didn't see when it came to Tre & Thomas and why she used the word “unkind” upon his exit. We find out more about Blake sliding into her DM’s before coming on the show and who she thought the person coming in could be. Then Nick takes some time to get to know Katie a little bit more away from the show and we learn more about what makes this strong woman, strong.  “The biggest thing I have learned is not changing myself to fit their needs.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Vizzy: http://www.vizzyhardseltzer.com/VIALL To find out where you can purchase Vizzy’s limited-edition Pride Packaging, or any of their other refreshing flavors.

Today we are recapping The Bachelorette with the one and only Dave Holmes. Nick and Dave break it all down from Thomas’s exit, the mob mentality on the show, Andrew S’s comments, and the return of Blake!  We even take a look at some of the guys instagrams to see who is promoting their time on the show and perhaps is being a little contradictory from what they are saying on the show. Who do they really think was “ostrasicized” and “de-monsterized”? It’s a recap you will not want to miss ahead of our interview with Katie herself tomorrow.  “Justice for Thomas” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Credit Karma Money: http://www.creditkarma.com/winmoney to sign up for free and start winning Instant Karma   Episode Socials:  @viallfiles @nickviall @daveholmes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode of Ask Nick we first speak with someone who has been with her boyfriend for 7 years. After having 2 kids together she wants to get married, but he is happy with the way things are. Second, we speak with someone who is in a good relationship, but after a year of dating he still does not want to meet her family or introduce her to his and says he is not ready for commitment. Third, we speak with someone who posted her view on a political issue and then got a text from her boyfriend that he was taking his stuff and leaving. Unfortunately, it turns out it's an 8 year toxic relationship with deeper wounds that need some serious help and healing. Finally, we chat with someone who is wondering how she can have more success dating because she may be writing people off too soon thinking there are red flags where there may not be.  “A relationship doesn’t really start until there are expectations. ” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

Our third caller was cheated on and is having trouble loving herself in a way to not need validation from the person that hurt her. Lastly, we speak with someone who is going through a divorce and decided to go onto dating apps to try to find her way out of her relationship, only to find herself confused by the dating situations in front of her.  “You may not want him, but you want him to be sorry for f*&%$ing up.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

On today's episode of Ask Nick our first caller started “dating” someone she respected who was really well known in their industry but turned out not to be who she thought he was. Next, we speak with a single mom who stopped speaking with a guy because he was not ready to be serious. After a few months he contacts her because he is now ready to be committed to her but it doesn’t necessarily work out the way she hoped. Third, we have a woman who received a snap from the guy she was dating that had a message saying he had another girlfriend; turns out the other girlfriend was putting him on blast. Sadly, she was not the only one as she dug into the story more and more. Last, we speak with a woman who wants the guy she is seeing to give up his dating apps but at the same time she is not ready to be his girlfriend.  “Your ego is so much in control that it is silencing your gut and what you know to be right.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

It is Monday which means it is time for Ask Nick. On today's episode we start with someone who is dating someone who says they are in a relationship but does not want to fully commit because he still wants to hook up with other women. Our next caller was cheated on by her boyfriend after being accusatory toward her, and she wants to know what could she have paid attention to to see it coming. "It is messy" is the best way to describe our next call- and how she describes it herself. Lastly, we speak with someone who feels like the guy she has been speaking to on a dating app makes her feel like he has cooled off on her as soon as she started to get invested.  “Tell yourself the truth, charming, confident, good looking doesn’t mean great boyfriend.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

Today on The Viall Files we have one of our favorite conversations with Sheila Kelley. Sheila is not only an actress you may know from shows like The Good Doctor, but also a Feminine Embodiment Leader. She is the Founder of S Factor which is featured in the Netflix documentary Strip Down, Rise Up. In the documentary and in her classes, Sheila helps women regain their erotic energy and become comfortable in their skin. S Factor is a practice that brings you home to your body, awakening confidence and sensuality, through movement and community with others looking for the same thing. Nick and Sheila talk about being comfortable with your sexuality, embracing your erotic energy, how women should start knowing their body, and letting your body move the way it was supposed to. In doing that you may find your purest sense of strength and self.  “How about, lets dance on a pole and free our sexual desire.” Find out more about S Factor at www.sfactor.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Usual Wines: http://www.usualwines.com  use discount code VIALL for $8 off your first order and try your first glass on us!

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.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

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.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Helix Sleep: http://www.helixsleep.com/VIALL  to get up to $200 off all mattress orders and 2 free pillows.

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.  “There are plenty of places for you to go just don’t go backwards.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

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.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Huzzah: http://www.drinkhuzzah.com use code VIALL for 20% off.

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.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

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? HERE  or on Amazon and you can follow the link below to listen to Sarah & Nippy’s podcast A Little Bit Culty   https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a-little-bit-culty/id1553334816 Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Nuts.com  text FILES to 64-000 to get free shipping on your first order.  Better Help: http://www.betterhelp.com/VIALLFILES to get 10% off your first month.  Episode Socials:  @viallfiles @nickviall @sarahedmondson @anthonyames11 @alittlebitculty See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.  “I don’t feel like I am in the business of blindsiding anyone.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  For merch please visit www.viallfiles.com today!

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.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.    THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:   Helix Sleep: http://www.helixsleep.com/VIALL for up to $200 and 2 free pillows.  Rothys: http://www.rothys.com/VIALL to check out all the amazing shoes, bags and masks available right now.

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.”  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Proactiv: http://www.proactiv.com/VIALL Subscribe today and you will receiveProactiv’s Hydrating Duo as a FREE GIFT.

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.  “When it comes to Astrology, I think it is abused and misused when it’s used to describe people, I think at its best it describes circumstances you are going to have to face.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Truff: http://www.truff.com use promo code VIALL for 10% off site-wide plus FREE shipping  Echelon: http://www.echelonfit.com/VIALL to try any Echelon Fitness equipment at home for 30 days.

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. “Hiking is hard, it is harder to do with wet socks, you insist on hiking in wet socks. “ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Kicking it off on this weeks episode of Ask Nick we speak to a woman who has been dating people younger than her because she doesn't like the feeling of inadequacy she gets when she dates someone older and likes the control she has with someone not so set in their ways. Next we speak to someone who's boyfriend thinks that her roommate is stepping over the boundaries of privacy in their relationship when he saw messages from another girl on his phone and told her. A 30 year age gap is our the next callers issue when it comes to the future and handling the judgment of people around them. Finally exes living together after a break up because of a financial situation are trying to find the best path forward in their new normal.  "Sometimes judgment comes from a place of love and people caring for you, other times they are just haters with nothing better to do."

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 asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mrs. Fields: http://www.mrsfields.com get 20% off site-wide with code VIALL.

On this weeks super sized episode of Ask Nick we are joined by friend of the show Chrishell Stause. We are so happy to have Crishell back to give a female perspective to some of our callers today, and we may try to pry into the developments into her personal life as well. Our first caller is a 27 year old virgin who is fine dating and “running the bases” but is waiting for the feeling of love before she has sex for the first time. Next we speak with someone who is feeling the guilt of moving on too soon in the fear she will hurt her exes feelings. Third , we chat with a woman who’s love language is gifting and her boyfriend is not understanding she needs him to show her he loves her sometimes because in the bedroom he is not reciprocating oral sex which is weighing heavily on their relationship. With our next question a woman is having a hard time losing her best friend who she had a one time sexual relationship with when her current boyfriend does not want her around their relationship. Our final caller grew up in a very emotionally abusive family and found herself dating the people she grew up surrounded by, but when she started dating a really good guy she found herself being the one toxic in the relationship.  “ What other people think of you is none of your business“ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Amazon Music: http://www.amazon.com/VIALL for your first 3 months of Amazon Music Free.

On this weeks episode of Ask Nick we start with another couple who is trying to figure out how to make sure they have their own independence while being in a relationship. Our next caller struggles in her relationship because her faith means so much to her and her boyfriend does not believe in religion at all. Finally we speak to a woman who is feeling tremendous guilt after having an affair on her ex and is not able to handle the feelings she has and wonders how she can move forward in a new relationship with that guilt.

On this weeks episode of Ask Nick, We first speak with a couple that is trying to work through some issues of her feeling like he is not making her a priority over his career as a comedian, which always has him traveling and him trying to explain the time he does spend with her is not his “leftover time”. Next a woman having a virtual relationship with someone and the conversation has turned sexual over text only, and she is confused when he says he is “down for anything” but he seems to shame her for her suggestions. Mental health issues are keeping our next caller from getting into relationships fearing the conversation around her biggest insecurity will keep someone from wanting to be with her and make her hard to love, and finally someone is trying to figure out if she should shoot her shot with the guy she is texting with or wait for him to make the move to meet in person.

Today on the Viall Files we start the week with another episode of Ask Nick. First we speak with a woman who found out her boyfriend slept with his ex, from his ex. Now she is struggling as he tries to flip the blame on her for catching him in a lie. Next we talk with someone who’s husband goes to the bar every single night leaving her at home alone with the kids and it is starting to take a toll on their relationship as she feels she really needs him to make quality time with her a priority. A husband is not as sexually experimental in the bedroom as our next caller would like and her fantasies keep being taken off the table and it is becoming increasingly difficult to speak to him about being more open to some of her desires. Finally we speak with a person who is stuck in a lease with a guy she was hooking up with and dated and she wants to date him again but, he is not into it because she hurt him in the past. There is a a lot to unpack here but should she be packing up to move out instead.  “Be a cool chick to someone who deserves it.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Best Fiends: Download Best Fiends for FREE today on the Apple App Store or Google Play.  Article: http://www.aarticle.com/viall for $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

People are sometimes nervous to talk about what turns them on in the bedroom, but letting your freak flag fly doesn’t have to be an awkward conversation with the right person, as we discuss with our first caller. Our second caller approaches the concept of threesomes while being in a monogamous relationship, while our third caller knows how Nick feels about “friends with benefits” but has a question for him to try and find out if her situation is different.

Today we are joined by singer, songwriter Rachel Platten. Our conversation with Rachel today teaches us that you could think, you are the most woke person, only to actually realize, you don’t really know much at all. Postpartum depression hit Rachel after the birth of her daughter and for a while kept it quiet but once she realized it is okay to say I am having a hard day, or I need help, her world actually started to take form, her writing once again took off, and her definition of being woke truly changed. So get ready for a conversation filled with honesty, laughs, and pop star love, as Nick and Rachel talk about her marriage, her crystals, her music, and that song that defined a campaign.  “ The surrender is incredible. ” You guys nominated us and now it is time to vote, so please go to https://pca.eonline.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2020 and vote for The Viall Files as your favorite Pop Podcast Of 2020 for The E!

On today's episode of Ask Nick we are joined by recording artist Jack J. First, Nick speaks with Jack as we go through what his own relationships have taught him about himself and how he is able to reflect on what he's learned to ensure he finds the right relationship at the right time. Jack’s new single “You Lie”  is a look at a past toxic relationship he experienced and we are so glad to welcome him as he uses that experience to help Nick out and share some different perspectives with today's callers. Our first caller is a woman who wants to know how to reassure her boyfriend of their relationship as he is about to leave to train in the police academy. Next, we speak to a woman who’s recent breast reduction surgery has her feeling a bit insecure about men seeing her scars or thinking she is catfishing them on an app that shows her older photos. And finally, a boyfriend's form of communication is screaming- not talking- and Nick and Jack help her realize that he might not be as great as she says he is.  “It’s about the individual. It’s not about the past. ”  You guys nominated us and now it is time to vote!

We then speak to someone who’s boyfriend continually emotionally cheats on her and instead of asking herself, "is the relationship good for me?" is asking how to forgive him. Finances, effective communication, and everyday chores are the issues we face with a woman who feels like her partner is not giving as much as she does. And finally we have a caller that is dating her friend's brother- again- and it did not go well the first time. So how does she tell her friend now that it is happening again? “Time served is not a reason to be in a relationship.”  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:HIDRATE SPARK: http://www.hidratespark.com/viall to get FREE U.S. shipping RELIEF BAND: http://www.reliefband.com and use promo code VIALL to receive 20% off RITUAL: http://www.ritual.com/VIALL  for 10% off during your first three months LIQUID IV: http://www.liquidiv.com and use code: VIALL to get 25% off BEST FIENDS: http://www.bestfiends.com Please go to https://pca.eonline.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2020 and nominate The Viall Files for The E People's Choice Awards for favorite podcast Episode Socials:   Viall Files @viallfiles Nick Viall @nickviall See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today’s episode of Ask Nick we start with a woman whose boyfriend doesn't reciprocate oral sex and is looking for the right way to have the conversation with him to create a mutually satisfying and unselfish sex life.

Our next caller will give you all the feels as Nick talks her through her first real love heartache and tries to help her figure out the best way to let go. Lastly, we help a woman talk through her confused feelings about a guy she is hooking up with but keeps putting in and out of the friend zone. Does she like actually him?

That is right; Victoria has never sat down to talk about her side of the drama on Peter’s season of The Bachelor. And today we get to it.

And how about that Chase Rice date! We also take some time to go through those Chris Soules rumors and find out what she herself could not believe.

Nikki Ferrell joins us this week as we discuss the final GOAT episode of this Bachelor summer season, Juan Pablo. As the woman who “won” Juan Pablo’s heart, she had probably one of the most unique experiences on the show and never really had a chance to speak about how she was feeling about how she was treated, what people were saying about her, and how standing by her man was a decision she would not make again. Did he ever say more than I like you throughout the relationship? Does she still have texts saved from their break-up? What is her take on Clare’s upcoming season? And what cast member came back during filming to try to talk her out of staying with Juan Pablo? Nikki is nothing if not completely honest with us, and we could not love it more.  “What girl is like, 'ooh that’s a sexy wink.'

On this episode of Ask Nick we start with a woman who has two challenges when it comes to sex and dating. She speaks with Nick about how to approach 1) discussing with her partners the fact that she is deaf and 2) her fear of vaginal penetration. Next, we speak with someone whose boyfriend is sending d*ck pics to other people when she is not around and collects nudes as a hobby. Racism is the topic of our next conversation, when a woman wants to bring her black love interest to a wedding with her family that she believes is racist. Finally, we chat with a daughter who is perhaps a little more concerned about her dad's dating patterns than she should be.  “What you are willing to accept is far worse than dating.”  Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: JENNI KAYNE: jennikayne.com use promo code VIALL for 20% off your first order  ECHELON: echelonfit.com/viall  COASTAL: coastal.com/viall for 50% off your first pair of glasses now until October 31st Episode Socials:  Viall Files @viallfiles Nick Viall @nickviall See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on The Viall Files we are joined by Constance Nunes, the definition of a badass. She has been making a name for herself in the automotive industry for years, but with season 2 of Car Masters: Rust to Riches out now on Netflix, she is reigniting the conversation of women taking charge in a male dominated industry. A self-proclaimed “glam girl wrenching in a boy's world,” she sits down with us to talk about the assumptions people make about her, how people react to her work, and how being taken seriously has been something she's had to earn over and over again. We also dive deep into her DM’s and the crazy that slides into them, and what she is looking for now in a man after separating from her husband. Get ready to feel empowered after this very down-to-earth conversation with a women whose nails will never get in the way of her skill.  “I'm not a trailblazer.

Lauren Zima re-visits The Viall Files today and joins Nick as they recap and talk all things Bachelor & Bachelorette. How much does Lauren really know? Is Chris giving her the gossip? Are there more texts from inside the bubble? And with all the things they have heard, how many scenarios can these two come up with for what is going to happen on the next season of The Bachelorette? Breaking down rumors, challenging the rules, clearing up some speculation, we cover it all on this episode of The Viall Files.

On this week's episode of Ask Nick we start with a simple story: girl meets boy, boy invites girl on a date, boy says his wife died, girl Googles and finds out he lied and she is very much alive. Then, we speak with a woman who is struggling with not feeling like a priority when her boyfriend would rather spend the weekend with friends than her. Next, someone is exhausted trying to get along with her boyfriend's family- and they've been together since she was 15. And finally, a couple have both had discretions in their relationship and keep telling each other half-truths instead of just being honest.  “If I was married to someone and they were telling people I was dead I would want to know.” Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: SHIP STATION: Go to shipstation.com CODE: VIALL to try it FREE for 60 days BEST FIENDS: bestfiends.com  BUTCHER BOX: Go to ButcherBox.com/VIALL for two pounds of ground beef in every box for the life of their subscription.

Today we are having one of those tough but important conversations on The Viall Files. Nick is joined by guest Kevin Hines, a suicide survivor who jumped off The Golden Gate Bridge and lived to tell the story. This conversation is honest, inspirational, and educational when it comes to identifying signs of possible suicide ideations in yourself and those around you. Kevin shares his story, his immediate thoughts once his feet left that bridge, and how the experience has not only made him become a motivational speaker for suicide prevention and mental health but has motivated him to take his second chance at life at making sure that jumping off that bridge will never be an option. Committing to life is not always the easiest road; but as we learn in this episode, four words can make all the difference: "I Need Help Now." Normalizing and speaking about this topic is how less lives will continue to be impacted by suicide.  “I immediately regretted it.”  Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: HIDRATESPARK: hidratespark.com/viall for free US shipping HELIX SLEEP: helixsleep.com/viall for up to $200 off TRUVANI: Text FILES to 64000 to get the Protein Powder gift pick or $29.99Episode Socials:  Viall Files @viallfiles Nick Viall @nickviall Kevin Hines @kevinhinesstory See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Open relationships and making sure the open lifestyle is being considered for the right reasons is the first conversation on today's episode of Ask Nick. Is making sure that you are the right person for your boyfriend a reason to open it up? Picking someone because they are great on paper- but there is no spark- is the next topic we tackle. Then, we speak with a woman who is dating a friend who is stable and whose company she enjoys, but who also isn't feeling a spark. Deciding between having a great companion or finding a great love is her dilemma. We then speak to a woman about the stereotypes she faces as a bi-sexual woman trying to date, and finally what to do when your friend drops you every time they get into a relationship. “That is not an entry level item.” Thank you for sending in your questions, we love hearing from you.

Today we are joined by the talented, strong, and sex positive, Garcelle Beauvais. You may know her from Coming To America, The Jamie Foxx Show, Fresh Prince Of Bel Air, and most recently The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, but today we get a little more intimate with Garcelle as she and Nick jump right in talking about sex, and what men and women like- or dislike- in the bedroom. Her new podcast Going To Bed With Garcelle has all those sex positive conversations so on this episode she definitely doesn’t shy away from being open and honest about her experiences; and neither does Nick. In addition to all that, Garcelle shares her perspective on speaking with your kids about sex, and dating after divorce, in quarantine, and in the public eye. So sit back (maybe check to see if the kids are around before turning up the volume) and find out why we were happy to jump into bed with Garcelle.  “I like some thug talk.”  Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: DIPSEA: dipseastories.com/viall for a 30 day free trial.  THRIVE MARKET: thrivwemarket.com/viall for a free gift of your choosing, up to $22 in value Episode Socials:  Viall Files @viallfiles Nick Viall @nickviall Garcelle Beauvais Instagram @garcelle  Garcelle Beauvais Twitter @garcelleb  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Ask Nick we start with the question: what would you do if your friend was found kissing your boyfriend instead of her own? The answer to this situation may surprise you as we first try to help someone stuck in a friend group that has a secret about to bust it apart. We then speak to someone who received a DM from another girl her guy was seeing, exposing the hurtful things he was saying about her and giving her the confidence to walk away, but making her nervous to trust in the dating pool again. Friends with benefits- with a twist- is the next topic as our caller struggles to understand why he doesn't want a relationship with her and knowing that her current reality will ultimately come to an end. Lastly, we speak with a woman who is broken-hearted over the end of a long-term relationship she feels came out of nowhere. “This might sting a little bit.” Thank you for sending in your questions, we love hearing from you.

Pastor Miles McPherson is a Faith Leader, Author, and former NFL player that helps us continue the conversation around social narratives, racial reconciliation, and current global perspectives. On today’s episode Nick has another honest and enlightening conversation learning how to have a “race consultation, rather than a race conversation.” Pastor Miles' book The Third Option was written to break through the Us vs. Them culture that exists today and tries to explain how to bridge the divide we keep finding ourselves in. Lesson learned today? Honor what we have in common, and look at your blindspots. It’s that simple.

Cathy Kelley re-visits The Viall Files today and joins Nick as they recap Jason Mesnick’s GOAT episode of The Bachelor. Jason’s season was the first in The Bachelor series Cathy ever watched, so she has a lot to say about it and also a special place in her fandom heart for it. Nick and Cathy talk through recent news on what is happening with the new season of the Bachelorette as well as what they would like to see the show get back to in reference to Jason’s season.

On this episode of Ask Nick we cover a bunch of different topics. We start with a woman who wants the person she is dating to define their relationship and realizes that her insecurities are just a fear of rejection. Revenge is on the mind for our next caller after feeling racially oppressed by her previous relationship and is trying to find the most productive way to use the energy she has to find resolution. Then we speak with someone who is in a loving long-term relationship but is at a crossroads because she wants to have children in the future and her partner does not. Finally, a recently divorced mom of two goes on her first date and has a connection, but is disappointed when the relationship abruptly fizzles out.  Thank you for sending in your questions!

On today's episode of The Viall Files we catch up with the infectious Jonathan Bennett. Yes, his hair looks sexy pushed back, but there is so much more we learn catching up with this pop culture icon. From Mean Girls to filming during Covid, Jonathan shares with us the honor he feels being a part of things that make people happy. He talks about how quarantine has made him appreciate his relationship even more and has only strengthened it, as well as how his positivity is sometimes challenged and the tools he uses to get himself over humps and back on track.

Former Bachelorette Ali Manno (Fedotowsky) joins us on today’s episode of The Viall Files as we talk through her experience on The Bachelorette and what really happened when tattoos, songs, and girlfriends tried to derail her love story. Nick and Ali talk about their very different experiences on the show and how the show has evolved as the seasons have gone on through the years; breaking the 4th wall, showing things they would not have in the past, and what that might look like going forward. However, the first topic of conversation between these two leads are the rumors about what is going on with Claire as Nick received some information from someone inside The Bachelor bubble just as he was walking into the studio. Having been in that position themselves, these two have a lot of ideas on how the next season of The Bachelorette could play out. One thing they agree on? They will certainly be watching.  “This is my life.” Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode!

On today’s episode of Ask Nick we first speak with a frequent dater who is realizing that she is only seeing people that validate her ego instead of her heart. Then, Nick gives some advice to a woman who, because of her religious background, has not had many sexual experiences and is wondering if she is a-sexual or just doesn't know what turns her on…yet. Next, a husband's affair with a family friend has one of our callers trying to figure out her options and if she can continue to be with someone that she doesn’t trust (and recognizing that starting over at 40 might be freeing!) Finally, The Viall Files has its first couple who moved to a new state and in together prior to the pandemic which has since forced their living situation to be the complete opposite of what they had planned.  “You deserve to be with someone that you trust and didn’t hurt you. ”  Thank you for sending in your questions, we love hearing from you.

What if just showing up for work one day changed your life as you knew it? How would you react? Today Nick is joined by author, motivational speaker, and host of Shark Week, Paul de Gelder. As a Royal Australian Navy clearance diver, Paul was in the water working one morning when a bull shark attacked him, resulting in the loss of his right hand and right leg. Nick’s conversation with Paul covers the changes in your mindset when adapting to a new normal, the importance of facing your vulnerability, and the power of choice which can help you decide, “do I want a good life or a shit life?” Dating, overcoming, terminators and sharks; it’s a conversation not to miss. “Going to the gym with one hand and one leg can really throw out your bench press and squats.” Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss an episode and send your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com.  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: ROTHY'S: rothys.com/viall ISSUU: issuu.info/viall THERAGUN: theragun.com/viall Episode Socials:  Viall Files @viallfiles Nick Viall @nickviall Paul de Gelder @pauldegelder See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick reconnects this week with his Dancing With The Stars Co-Star and friend Chris Kattan. Chris shares with us how an injury on SNL he kept out of the public eye affected his life for so many years, how his girlfriend is the one who defines all things in their relationship, and of course his time on SNL. It is a different side of Chris you may not be familiar with but you may just love his endearing side even more than his comic persona. “You get to introduce a world that hasn’t been seen through characters.” Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!

Nick is joined by "Reality Steve" Carbone today because well … 2020! This conversation is something we never thought would happen but on the The Viall Files we always say that people can learn and grow, and hopefully come out better on the other side. Nick speaks bluntly with Steve, not only about the personal impact he has had on Nick's life but how spoilers have affected other cast members in their off-air real lives and in a very real way. Dropped videos, bad sources, being held accountable, and making some wrongs right are all topics we hit in this episode. So buckle up and make sure to catch some thoughts from Nick at the end of the episode as he reflects on the conversation.  “…because you realized they’re human?” Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes!

On today’s Ask Nick, we speak with a caller about faking orgasms in the past with a partner she is starting to be physical with again and how to communicate her current expectations of their sex life. The twist? This relationship is within her main *open* relationship.

We also chat with a guy who shouldn’t be so available when the girl he likes is keeping him on the back burner. “Here I am, love me.” Send all of your sex and relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com.
