Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
What's softer than cashmere and warmer than wool? It's not a riddle. It's an alpaca hoodie. And we had to check it out for ourselves after hearing some of our favorite podcasters talking about PACA. PACA makes performance apparel from alpaca fiber, one of the world's most sustainable natural fibers. Their best-selling hoodie is softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, and breathable.
I can't wait to wear my pack at the lake because obviously it's Wisconsin. It's getting cold.
Chapter 2: What challenges does the first caller face with her daughter's stepmother?
It's getting cold really early. And the pack is lightweight, but it's still cozy. It doesn't stretch out. It doesn't pill and somehow keeps me warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. Basically, it adapts to wherever life takes you. This hoodie is built for real life. It's thermoregulating, odor resistant, durable and made to last.
Each one is handcrafted in Peru by artisans who stitch their name into the tag, a personal signature of quality and care. The women's hoodie is incredibly soft. It's naturally stretchy and made to last. It's warm without bulk and it's breathable without sweat. It's slightly longer in the back and a beautiful rib stitching detailing on the side body.
So if you want to feel that same comfort, you've got to check out Paka. Everything that Paka has, I'm loving, especially in these cozy as the fall comes. I know I'm going to be lounging. Really looking forward to wearing my Paka hoodie and their ultra light crew up at the lake. It's naturally soft, super stretchy and made to last. You got to check it out. It's super comfortable.

What's going on, everybody? Welcome back to another exciting episode of Ask Nick. Now, I know we usually get to write to our callers lately, but we have a written... This is all Mary. Yeah. She came to me and said, Nick, we have a written that I want to read on the show.
Chapter 4: What advice does Nick give about handling grief after a miscarriage?
We tried... You tried, obviously. I mean, we tried to get the person to call in, but they... Screened my email, I'm assuming. They didn't get back to us? No. Yeah, you'd be surprised how much that happens. A lot of people obviously call in, but sometimes it doesn't happen. But it's a written that Mary said we have to. So take it away, Mary. I'm excited to hear it.
So the headline is, my fiance bet his engagement ring on a turtle race. Should I call off the wedding? A turtle race? A turtle race. Is that a real thing? Yeah, they do it in Vanderpump Rules. There was an episode about it where they go, I went to the bar that they did it in Vanderpump Rules to see a turtle race.
Chapter 5: How can couples support each other during the grieving process?
And it's fine. I didn't really enjoy it. It was really crowded. And they're betting? Yeah, it was like drunk guys betting on turtle races. And I was just like, this is not my thing. So I understand where this color is coming from. Very good. So she wrote in and said, I've got a crazy one for you. My fiance has for a long time been into sports betting.
It started normal fantasy football, a basketball game here and there. Nothing unusual. It's never been my thing. And he never put enough money into it for me to be concerned about. Recently, however, things have changed. A friend of his brought him to a bar that does turtle racing, which is apparently a thing.
People bet on these turtles and he's become so infatuated with it that I don't even know who he is anymore. He's been bringing me to this bar and I just don't understand it.
Chapter 6: What are the emotional differences in experiencing pregnancy loss?
For the most recent race, he got incredibly drunk and bet his engagement ring on his favorite turtle. Luckily- Does it say how much the ring was worth? No. Well, let's assume that- A lot, I'm guessing. A meaningful amount, let's just say, right? A meaningful amount, and he's willing to bet it on a turtle?
Anyway, luckily, the turtle he bet on, Todd, the turtle's name was Todd, won- Do they have names? Yeah, they named the turtles. Anyway. The turtle he bet on Todd won, so he was able to keep the ring. But this is the last straw. I don't even know who he is anymore, and I feel like he is more invested in these turtles than our own relationship.
Not for nothing, I've brought up how I feel uncomfortable with the fact that these turtles have no choice in the matter when it comes to them racing. I don't feel like the bar owners treat them well. All of it is really bad, and I'm wondering if this is something I should call off the wedding over. Anyway, I would love to get your thoughts on this. Tanya. That's wild. Isn't that crazy?
This is a problem.
Chapter 7: How can one maintain a positive mindset after a miscarriage?
This is a problem. It's an issue for sure. Well, you have to assume that it didn't start with the turtles. No. And sports betting can be a lot of fun, everything in moderation. But I certainly have had some friends who have taken it too far. And usually when it gets to that point,
point there tends to be some secrets and like you know when it comes to engagement it's always that weird period in a relationship especially before marriage where it's like your money still your money and her money still his money and it's not like most people are that way and assuming they're gonna have like a traditional marriage where they will combine finances that he is not sending a healthy precedent of like kind of that open communication just talking about finances making decisions together so like there's a definitely a valid concern there i mean damn
I mean, listen, I hope she doesn't have to end the relationship over it. I would definitely get him to admit that this is a problem, that he needs to recognize that despite Todd crossing the finish line first, that this can't happen again. Yeah. She needs to almost please him a little bit.
When he goes out, she needs to go out with him and maybe suggest some things, I don't know, like a movie or something, something simple, something they can do together. Yeah. Maybe go see, I don't know, any new movies coming out. Ooh, do you know what movie that's coming out soon that I'm like really excited about that would kind of be perfect? Die My Love.
It's the Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence movie. Jennifer Lawrence. That looks actually, that looks really good. I want to see that movie. The acting looks incredible in it. And just the performances, the direction. I feel like this is a movie that will make you like feel better about your relationship. Have Robert and Jennifer ever performed together?

Chapter 8: What strategies can help in rebuilding relationships after trauma?
No, this is the first time. Katniss and Edward coming together, two iconic franchises, battling it out, now in love. Now in love. And plus it's a Mubi movie. Mubi is the studio that did The Substance, which also, banger, awesome movie. Psychological thriller again, starring Demi Moore. Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley. Yeah, so Mubi is great. So I'm really, really, really excited for it.
May the odds forever be in your favor. They're not in Tanya's favor right now. No, but maybe if she goes and brings her fiance to this movie, they'll realize what they have together. You know what I mean? Well, Tanya, if you're listening, go see a movie with your fiance. When is Die My Love come out? Die My Love, let me see, comes out November 7th. Okay, so Tanya, here's what you need to do.
On November 7th, go get your tickets. You can go to Mubi.com slash Die My Love for any show times, any tickets you want. And you need to bring your fiance to this movie. I do think that seeing Die My Love could save your relationship. Yeah. And honestly, I actually really want to see that movie. So maybe you'll see Natalie and I in the theaters together. And if you do, you can.
I want to meet Tanya and I want to meet this guy who's. Yeah. You know, like if you see us, be like, call him Turtle Boy. Turtle Boy. Oh, my God. All jokes aside, I mean, seriously, Tanya, you definitely need to have a conversation with this guy. I don't think we're at the breakup stage yet, but I think you need to address this before you say I do, so to speak. But it looks like a great movie.
I'm going to go check it out. You should. All right. Well, that was certainly a doozy, Mary. Hopefully you can get her to call in. I'll do my best. I'm going to be on that email chain. Well, speaking of callers, we have some good ones, and now it's time to get to our first one. How's it going? Hey, Nick. How can I help?
I am calling because I've been having an issue with obsessively kind of looking at my daughter's stepmother's social media because I'm aware that she's posting things that I find to be kind of antagonizing directed towards me. So I want to know how I can kind of gain the self-control to possibly stop looking at it and or not let it affect me if I do.
Uh, well tell me a little bit about the relationship, uh, your, your daughter has with her step-mom or what, what your current dynamic is right now. Her father and I had shared 50, 50 custody up until the end of last year. And she is a teenager. She's almost 15 and has written, you know, she's been going back and forth since she was two. And so given the contention between the two homes, um,
she had decided that she wanted to live in either one place or another kind of have, you know, relationships with everybody ongoing, but kind of have one more stable home. And so we went through the court process and in the end it ended up that I allow, you know, signed an agreement to allow her to live with him full time because that's what she wanted.
And also, you know, for the sake of my peace and my ability to kind of, move forward with my life and leave that, all of that, those issues behind with them that were there. I imagine that was difficult for you to do. It was incredibly hard. Yeah. I mean, I had my daughter full time for the first two years of her life. And then, like I said, you know, 50% of the time. Moving forward.
