The Viall Files

On today's episode of Ask Nick, we first pivot in the world of relationships to someone who wants to know how to navigate personal growth and how to make sure she's doing it for herself and not him. Next, we speak with someone who seems to keep attracting the wrong guys in dating. Is it her, or just some self-limiting beliefs? Finally, we speak with someone who wants clarity on her recent situationship and whether or not she was being gaslit. "It's an explanation...not a justification."

Today we are joined by TikTok star Rod Thill. Creating videos and rising to popularity during the pandemic, Rod creates videos that focus on work-from-home culture and anxiety, specifically with millennials. From popularizing the term "Cheugy", dipping into 90's nostalgia, breaking down anxieties from the workplace, and catching up on Sex in the City, Rod is unapologetically himself. In this interview we break down toxicity in the workplace, toxic masculinity, hanging out with the Bachelor crowd, and more! "If I'm working hard to make videos for 10 people, or working hard to make videos for millions, it's worth it."

On today's Bachelor Recap we are joined by both Bri Springs and Kit Keenan from the 25th season of The Bachelor. In this recap we dive into discussing meeting people outside of the show, people on the beach dipping into the DMs of past contestants, and what people are really playing the game for. We also talked about the ongoing toxic masculinity on the show, when you should have someone's back, learning that you weren't in love with someone until you're actually alone, and using therapy to process a relationship. "The first months back in reality… it's like an emotional hangover."

Today on Ask Nick, we start by speaking with someone who is having intimacy issues with her boyfriend which has led her to flirting with someone else. She wants to hear the hard truth about her behavior, but what she really needs to do is to explore why her relationship's sex life is suffering, and be honest with what she needs to do about it. Next, we speak with a guy who has recently gotten back into the dating game and is wondering how to balance his excitement without coming in too hot while also communicating his expectations for what he's looking for. Next, we speak with someone who was recently ghosted by a guy after she told him she has an STI, and is now wondering: was the STI or if she is just drawn to guys who like to leave coldly? Finally, we are joined by someone who is recently dating someone but he wants to put a label on it right away. She's not sure why, especially when his actions don't match his words, so she's wondering...is it weird? "Beware of polished people."

Today on Ask Nick we first speak with someone who started dating an addict and, even though they've had great dates, deep down is realizing it might be best to step away. Next, we speak with someone who might start dating her ex's ex-best friend and is wondering if it's a good idea. Also, is their friend group's support a good thing or too risky? Then, we speak with someone who started a friends-with-benefits situationship and he's moving away soon so she's trying to figure out whether she's interested or not, or if she's just wasting her time for her ego. Lastly, we speak with someone who is separated from her kids' dad and is now trying to navigate her dating life, with kids after a traumatic experience. "You need to learn to say 'no' to the craving even when you're very hungry."
