Today on Ask Nick we dive into talking with a caller who is processing their feelings after breaking up with their girlfriend, hooking up with a toxic ex, and then realizing that they made a mistake. They ask for advice about the process of getting back together with someone after breaking up with them, and the path to healing. Our next caller asks for advice about their fiancé, who turns into a different person when drinking is involved. They ask how to deal with someone you love when they constantly blackout and become aggressive when alcohol is a factor. Then we talk to a caller who is navigating if it is appropriate to have sex on the first date, citing that their sex-positive nature and eagerness to have sex on the first date is turning men off from the idea of continuing to date our caller. Lastly, our caller attempts to figure out if they can turn a casual flirting situation into something more serious, or if someone that started out as passive and casual is doomed to stay that way forever. "Whether you're with her or you're not, you're going to wish you would have given her this much energy."

Today Nick sits down with the hosts of the most popular podcast ever created in the history of the world, the hilarious Matt Walsh and Tim Simons. Matt and Tim co-host a new Veep rewatch show, Second in Command, and - after first dropping some serious football talk- they dive right into their time as part of the core cast on all seven seasons, whether they became more politically informed because of it, and how much improvisation was allowed while filming. They also dig into fame (or, rather, being recognizable,) being star struck over their castmates, the power of message over presentation, and not catering to the needs of the lactose intolerant. They really cover it all, and you're not going to want to miss this funny and wacky conversation. "At that level there is no value in telling the truth."
