Next, we speak with a woman who likes the guy she is seeing, and they are compatible sexually, but he always seems to be too busy to do anything- except text. Our next caller is having a family issue when she is trying to find a relative she just learned about but her father is procrastinating on helping with the search snd she is starting to take it personally. Our last caller is dealing with her parents sharing about infidelity in their marriage.

Behavioral scientist turned dating coach, Logan Ury, joins us today to talk about psychology and how it relates to dating and sex. Nick and Logan dive into some of the chapters of her book How Not To Die Alone, dig into how too many choices in dating is hurting us, how we should 'F' the spark, how The Bachelor romanticizes dating and how it affects our dating culture, and the differences between deal breakers and pet peeves.

Today on Ask Nick we start with a polyamorous couple that is leaving one relationship to start a new one, and is confused on how to speak publicly about their relationship without sharing too much. Next, we speak with a woman who has been in relationship after relationship and now she is trying to figure out how she can just be casual and not catch feelings right away. Our next caller is struggling with a co-parenting situation when he tries to use her son to take her parenting time away. Finally, we speak with someone who's boyfriend is struggling with a childhood trauma that is affecting their relationship. While she is trying to be supportive, he does not want to take any steps to heal and she doesn't know what to do to keep his mental health in a safe place. "There is knowing what you need and then there is executing on that need despite your desires telling you differently."

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. "I don't feel like I am in the business of blindsiding anyone."

On this episode of Ask Nick we start with a woman who is exploring her sex life and asks her boyfriend his ideal female type- only to be surprised when his answer is her complete opposite. Our next caller has received an ultimatum from her husband to stop smoking weed or he is going to leave. We then speak with someone who doesn't want commitment and wants to keep her relationships open but then one day looked up and realized she was in love and doesn't know what to do with that feeling. Finally, we try to help someone figure out if she is reading a situation wrong after shooting her shot or if she is just part of the guys dating roster. "How do you even tell height in a porn?

Today on The Viall Files we are joined by comedian, host, and actor Howie Mandel. A surprising Bachelor fan, we talk to Howie about his fear of rejection, mental health, how he "accidentally" became a comedian and has sustained a career that so many admire. Howie has a new podcast coming out with his daughter Jackelyn Shultz called Howie Mandel Does Stuff where they talk about, well stuff! If the stories he shares on his new podcast come anything close to the things he shared with Nick today, we are excited. "My perspective comes from being as old as I am."
