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.

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."

We are recapping the recap with the one and only, Trista Sutter. Trista and Nick go through how the rules of the show were established, how sex positivity has grown in the media and on the show, and, of course, talk about how being the first of an iconic franchise has affected her life 18 years later. It's a fun conversation with the woman who was there to see how everything started … even Chris Harrison's fashion.

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.

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.

This week Nick is joined by his friend, Wells Adams, to recap this week's GOAT episode of The Bachelor. As "the guy who took forever to kiss Jojo," Wells talks through what it is actually like in that environment to try to be romantic, not being JoJo's type, "The Rose Boys", and, of course, Chad. Get ready because this conversation goes off the rails here and there providing some good laughs and context to some behind-the-scenes moments of the show.

On this episode of Ask Nick we are joined by host of The Bright Side podcast & television personality Kaitlynn Carter. Kaitlynn and Nick really jump into it when it comes to dating rumors, bi-sexuality, being on reality tv, trust, honesty, and falling in love, all before we talk to our callers this week. They then speak to a woman who is struggling in her interracial relationship with her boyfriend who is becoming a police officer, someone who sexts for money, likes it, and wants to make sure she communicates it properly to the next person she dates, and a quarantine dater who is trying to navigate through all the issues the current world is presenting while she explores a new relationship.

Are you fascinated by "Karen" culture? Well, we are and wanted to take a look into what is going on with this new pop culture phenomenon. Nick & Krissy are joined by Actor, Comedian, & Author Sarah Colonna, who may have played a "Karen" here and there on TV. We take a look at how this culture came about, the behavioral traits associated with it, how it is being used politically, and why it is sometimes better to just take a breath and walk away. Most importantly we send lots of love to everyone out there named Karen who might find it to be a difficult trending topic.
