E154 Ask Nick - It's Not Love, It's Toxic Stimulation
On today's Ask Nick: an affair that turned into a relationship after a divorce that is filled with games, no commitment, and a bunch of toxic behavior, someone who is happy single and wonders why people judge her for not being in a relationship, a couple playing house after only 5 months of dating and why their sexual relationship is suffering because of it, and a woman whose boyfriend is being groomed to take over her family's business before they have moved to the next step in their relationship. As always thanks for sharing your stories with us and keep sending them in to asknick@kastmedia.com we would love to hear from you. "Do they want me home making meatloaf every night?"

E153 Breaking Character with Chris Kattan
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.

E152 Reality Check with Reality Steve
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?"

E151 Ask Nick - If You're Not Growing You're Dying
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 talk with a woman struggling her mother after she made racially insensitive remarks to her teenage daughter, and a wife who is misdirecting her need to try and forgive the woman her husband had an affair with instead of addressing her anger. 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.

E148 Ask Nick - Stop Creating False Barriers
We are always so grateful for those of you that call in to share your stories with us because you never know how it can help someone else who is listening. This week we have some great conversations with a woman who overly romanticizes her relationship to a point where she doesn't even know her own needs anymore, a wife whose husband satisfies her in every aspect of their relationship except in the bedroom and is trying to evaluate if being in a sexless marriage is sustainable, a gentleman whose struggle with coming out about his sexuality has kept a close relationship to him in a state of confusion, and finally how different religious beliefs can put a strain on a relationship when you are not having the tough conversations around it. "The idea of someone doesn't deal with the substance of the relationship."

E147 Knowing Your Non-Negotiables with Trent Shelton
Get ready to feel inspired as we are joined by motivational speaker, author, former NFL player, and founder of the non-profit RehabTime, Trent Shelton. Trent and Nick address talking to your kids about Black Lives Matter, as well as how your empathy, compassion and- most importantly- your example can impact change in the world. They have a motivational conversation about not comparing yourself with others and how a different way of thinking can have you embracing your uniqueness. Lastly, we speak about Trent's book Straight Up, coming out soon, and how its youth-focused message offers different perspectives but doesn't sugarcoat the truth. "If you trade in your uniqueness for someone else's identity you lose your power." Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode.
