The Viall Files

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."

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."

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."

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. This educational and motivating conversation may just have you thinking a little different by the time it is over. "Don't be color blind. Be color brave."

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!

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.

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.
