Consistently interesting discussions. I end up feeling like I want to be there and be friends with these people. It touches on the Bachelor world but ends up being so much more, so kudos to Nick et al.

Don't think I have ever seen such a bad interview. Asking questions which Viall answers himself, then goes on about himself; endlessly. Demi is trying to get a word in, not happening much. It is almost satire of how not to talk to people.

E588 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 8
01:44:46
Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special “where are they now” update show where we give you updates from our past callers to see what’s happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show. We bring on our first caller who was grieving the loss of a 17 year relationship and unsure of how to move on from her childhood crush. We check in to see how she is feeling and if she’s followed Nick’s advice to stop referring to it as a 17 year relationship. Our second caller wanted to break up with her boyfriend but was financially dependent and living with him. Did she take Nick’s advice to swallow her pride, move back home, and dump him? Finally, we hear from our Texting Office Hours caller who has been updating us on her dating life ever since making out with a Tryst-seeking man at a basketball game. When she last updated us, she was trying to decide between a girl and a new guy she’d begun dating. We’ll find out if she is still seeing one, both or neither of them. We also have some written updates - our caller who was trying to escape her former situationship at the Crossfit gym, the Texting Office Hours caller hoping to reignite the laundry room meet cute, and a caller whose mom was considering getting a tattoo to memorialize her ex. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers:

E585 Ask Nick with Tinx - Romanticize Standing Up For Yourself
01:28:38
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we talk to Tinx about her new book “The Shift,” what inspired her to write it, and who she hopes reads it. We then read a listener’s email and give some advice about friendship. Our first caller is addicted to her four year situationship - they met on Halloween only to end things around New Year’s, and have been repeating that same cycle three years running. She isn’t sure how to end it (and we’re not sure she wants to). Our second caller recently broke up with her boyfriend of four years, but has an upcoming trip to Tulum that’s too late to cancel. She hasn’t been able to find a friend to go with her, and is debating going with her ex anyways. Our final caller was ghosted by an amazing first date on the same week her dog died - she isn’t sure if she should reach out or how to move on from him, or what to do if he ever resurfaces. “You’re not his mommy and you’re not his therapist.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E582 Ask Nick - Blowjobs Are Ending My Dates
01:29:36
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we talk about an engaged man in Vegas who was buying women drinks and potentially trying to cheat on his fiancée (a week before his wedding). We then read an email from a listener who isn’t sure if she can handle her ex moving in with her childhood friends. Our first caller has a pattern of her dates “finishing” too soon. Recently, she’s had three separate instances of guys seeming like they’re into her and wanting to pursue her, only until they hook up and she’s left feeling unsatisfied and confused. We dive into a conversation about modern dating and hook up culture, and when is the right time to have sex with someone you’re dating. Our second caller has been dating her boyfriend for five years, but is worried that they’re too young to be getting married. There’s also been some issues surrounding trust in their relationship after his mistakes, but only she has started therapy because of it. Our final caller is fighting over childcare with her husband - they both work from home and could use some help, but he doesn’t want to reach out to his parents and instead insists that they should be doing everything themselves. “You should expect very little from these guys.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E579 Ask Nick - My Dad Stole My Girlfriend
01:39:07
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss “icks” in relationships and if men have become more self-conscious about women having them. We then read a listener’s email who hooked up with a guy only to have him tell her that he is getting out of a long term relationship and isn’t sure he’s ready to move forward. Our first caller went on a couple dates with a woman before his dad decided to pursue a relationship with her (and break up his marriage and family). He isn’t sure if he should reach out to his father and attempt to mend the relationship, or if too much has happened. Our second caller found her boyfriend’s ED meds and isn’t sure how to address the situation. They are currently long distance, but he is planning on moving across the country. Our final caller is still living with her boyfriend after he broke up with her because she’s unable to afford their apartment by herself. They also have a trip planned, and she’s unsure if she should still go. “I can’t control my dad’s d*ck!” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E575 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 7
01:53:09
Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special “where are they now” update show where we give you updates from our past callers to see what’s happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show. We bring on our first caller who was having a hard time separating herself from her CrossFit coach, who was also her former situationship. We check in to see if she’s been able to leave the gym and maintain boundaries with him. Our second caller made out with her friend’s coworker at a company outing, but received a long and formal text about how interested he was in having a “tryst” with her, causing her to question if she wanted to see him again. Finally, we get a second update from our caller that was interested in her neighbor that she went to a Harry Styles concert (and Europe) with. Has she had an honest conversation with him about her feelings, or are they continuing to hang out as “friends”? We also have some written updates - our caller who fell for her boss’ brother, and our other caller whose mom was running her dating apps. We hear where they’re at now after our advice. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers:

01:35:20
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships.

We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller was in a situationship that ended after he confessed to cheating on multiple people and then asking how he’s grown since those experiences. He’s recently reached out to her again after ending things, and she isn’t sure how to proceed or if she should get back together with him. Our second caller is in love with her childhood best friend, but he has a girlfriend. She isn’t sure how to confess her feelings to him, and if it will ruin their family dynamic. Our final caller is the only woman at her company and dealing with a too-friendly coworker who is now attempting to see her on the weekends. She isn’t sure how to enforce her boundaries without affecting company culture, and doesn’t want to upset management. “The only good news is he understands that it’s f*cked up.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E569 Ask Nick - I’m a Lesbian Dating a Man
01:29:29
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we talk about our favorite types of bread and what to do if you notice that someone you’re dating has updated their dating profile. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller is in an eight year relationship with her boyfriend, but knows that she’s a lesbian. She’s wondering if she should stick it out because of the child and house they share together, try an open relationship, or leave him and try to find a new life with a woman. Our second caller is going to a thousand person matchmaking event but is still hung up on her ex. They broke up for religious reasons, and shortly afterward he met someone new and is now engaged. We discuss how she can move on from that relationship in order to take advantage of this new opportunity. Our final caller is wondering how she can get over a one-sided break up with her long distance boyfriend who ghosted her and never spoke to her again. She’s sent texts and a physical letter, but has no idea what happened or why the relationship ended. “That wasn’t fate or destiny, that was just a dumb coincidence.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://viallfiles.supportingcast.fm/ Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E559 Ask Nick - DNA Tests Revealed Mom’s Affair
01:21:32
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener who is having some sister drama before an upcoming wedding. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission, courtesy of Amanda’s personal vault. Our first caller took DNA tests with her sister only to find out that they don’t share the same dad. However, because her sister and her mother aren’t on speaking terms, it’s up to her to bring this to her mother and get answers. Our next caller is wondering if she should go on a date with a man who broke her heart ten years ago. Is it fate that they came back into each other’s lives, or is he just stringing her along? Our final caller is wondering if she should break up with her long term boyfriend because he might be a fuckboy. We discuss why he’s still in communication, and if fuckboys can ever really change. “The ego isn’t always a bad thing.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.comto be a part of our Monday episodes.

Our next caller has a crush on her co worker’s client, and isn’t sure how to shoot her shot without stepping on toes and making work awkward. Is her friend being an unknowing obstacle, or is she interested in her client, too? Our final caller’s boyfriend scammed her out of $400 and refuses to give it back.

E553 Ask Nick - The Grim Reaper of Dating
01:32:01
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss what it means to be a “best friend” in your relationship, and if a romantic partner can ever be the same as a platonic bestie. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller wonders if she’s a fuckboy, because the guy she’s been seeing wants more commitment than she does. We dive deep if she doesn’t want a relationship right now, or if he just isn’t the right one for her. Our next caller has a very complicated issue, centering around the fact that his ex and his girlfriend’s ex are now dating each other… both parties have children, so the families are constantly involved with one another. Our final caller is worried that she’s scaring off guys by asking for too much too soon. We discuss the timing of her conversations with potential partners, and how they probably shouldn’t be happening in the bedroom. “So you had this conversation with him when you were half naked?” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E550 Ask Nick - You’re Addicted to Missing Him
01:16:40
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss the idea of finding the one vs. finally just “picking” someone to spend your life with. Our first caller is wondering if she should warn her ex-husband’s new fiancée about his tumultuous and emotionally abusive past, or if it’s better to watch from the sidelines. They share a son together, so she’s unable to detach completely. Our next caller is still crying over a breakup, 10 months after the fact. She has to figure out how to let go of the failed relationship and her self-pity. Our final caller had a Vegas birthday trip “from hell” that was ruined by one of her friends. Does she address the hurt she caused, and how is she supposed to act as Maid of Honor in her upcoming wedding? “You made promises that didn’t work out. That doesn’t make you a loser.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E546 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 5
01:36:50
Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special “where are they now” update show where we give you updates from our past callers, to see what’s happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show. We bring on our first caller whose boyfriend was still extremely close with his ex-girlfriend. Has she been able to talk to her boyfriend and establish boundaries? Our second caller was blindsided into meeting her dad’s mistress on Thanksgiving, and Nick had advised her to have a brutally honest conversation with her father about wanting to respect him. Finally, we get an update from our caller that had a situationship with her coworker, only to realize he was in a relationship with their other coworker. Has she stayed or left the work environment, and how did they end things? We also have some written updates - our caller who fell for a DJ that would send her intense text messages only to ghost her again, the caller who was interested in her boss’ brother only to meet someone else at the Christmas party, the caller whose boyfriend controlled what she wore, and finally our caller who was interested in the woman her girlfriend cheated on her with - all write back in to let us know exactly what happened. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers:

01:20:56
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Perfect Match’s Francesca Farago to get the truth about her time on the show, if her portrayal was accurate, and the secrets other cast members were hiding. Which guy sent her a sweaty video saying “I’m coming for you” prior to filming? We dive into her matches on the show (does she feel like she led Dom on?), dating history (on screen and off), and her current relationship. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who kissed her friend's coworker but isn’t sure if his follow up text is a red flag. We wrap up with Francesca and figure out what the future holds for her… engagement? Children?

E543 Ask Nick - You Are Dick-ddicted
01:29:18
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss Valentine’s Day plans and read a listener’s email about how her friend was told she was being cheated on during a nine hour road trip. Our first caller is concerned that her boyfriend is still extremely close with his ex girlfriend, and they frequently text each other. Does he still have feelings for her? Our next caller is wondering if it’s possible to turn a long term situationship into a relationship. Nick talks about how she’s become addicted to his dick, or our newly coined phrase, “dick-ddicted.” Our final caller’s mother wants to buy her (and her boyfriend) a house, but her boyfriend’s pride is standing in the way. We discuss that finances can be one of the most difficult conversations to have, but the most important. How can she convince her boyfriend to take her mom up on the offer? “I just met you and I’m already tired of you doing nothing about it.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E540 Ask Nick - My Mom Runs My Dating Apps
01:23:19
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss how to overcome dating app fatigue and feeling overwhelmed, especially in the phases between matching and going on a date. Then, we have our most recent Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller met a British man on her recent cruise and isn’t sure if she should shoot her shot and pursue long distance. Is their connection based on their vacation spark, or compatibility? Our next caller is concerned that moving in with her boyfriend has led to relationship problems. We discuss the difference between a clean, defined break and a vague undefined relationship, and how it’s difficult but important to not feel bad for prioritizing your needs. Our final caller needs help figuring out if she should continue letting her mom run her dating apps. How can she regain control of her dating life? “It’s just you and I talking here. Do you want to be with your boyfriend?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E538 Bachelor Recap with Elizabeth Wagmeister

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We’re back with journalist and friend of show, Elizabeth Wagmeister, to discuss the third episode of Zach’s season. We start out by covering the week’s Bachelor Tea, including some headlines about Nick and why The Bachelor isn’t concerned with keeping up with Love is Blind. We dive into this week’s episode and discuss Kaity’s one on one sleepover date (what actually happened, and did they sleep in that tent?), the Bachelor Bowl 5, and Aly’s skydiving adventure. Also, the cocktail-turned-pool party, several women self-eliminating, and the shocking final rose given out. Why is Zach the ideal Bachelor, who will turn into the villain now that Christina is gone, and what can we expect when travel begins next week? “Maybe ABC is putting the viewers’ money where their mouth is.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E537 Ask Nick - There’s No Medal For Staying Friends
01:39:46
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss Amanda’s trip to Vegas, Ali matching with a British man on Hinge, and we Yay-SMR a listener who ended a 10 year long situationship. Finally, we have our most recent Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller is debating pursuing the woman her ex girlfriend cheated on her with. Do they have a connection, or is the instinct out of spite? Our next caller has a long distance boyfriend that has a lot of opinions and criticisms of the outfits she wears. We discuss that it might be less about the outfits, and more about a lack of trust in their relationship. Our final caller is debating how to handle running into her fitness coach now that their relationship has ended. Should she leave her gym, or try to muscle through? “There’s no medal for being friends with someone you have feelings for.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Then, newlyweds Taylor and Tay Lautner join us to talk about relationships, dating, and marriage. Was it difficult for Tay to deal with Taylor’s famous exes? Who is better at avoiding online hate and reading comments? And which elements of their wedding do they regret? Finally, we end our episode with a Texting Office Hours caller whose ex ghosts her for 2-3 months at a time only to resurface with an expensive gift - most recently, sending her flowers on their anniversary despite not having seen each other in two years. “Taylor, if you’re listening to this…” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E535 Bachelor Recap(ish) with Jim Jeffries
01:28:21
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We’re back with comedian and friend of show, Jim Jeffries, to discuss the second episode of Zach’s season. Jim starts out by telling us just how boring this season’s been so far, and some ideas he has to spice it up - including getting his assistant Jack on an upcoming season of The Bachelorette and talking about how The Bachelor Australia stars three bachelors and a polyamorous contestant. We debate if early eliminations are a sign of no connection or no attraction, and if we liked Latto’s Big B*tch Energy contest. Was Tahzjuan there for good television time, or was she straight up mean? Jim creates his own sad story template to win over the lead’s heart, and gives Prince Harry and the royal family some notes on future diplomacy. “Can I vote Holland back on? She would be good entertainment.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E534 Ask Nick - Playing Long Distance Chicken
01:29:19
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we discuss the idea of making a dating shopping list - is it setting you up for failure by judging people too quickly, or does it reduce the amount of disheartening dates on your calendar? Our first caller just got out of a four year situationship with a “man child” she works with after he made her the bottom of his priority list. To make matters worse, he then had a public melt down - in the office. Our next caller is playing a game of moving chicken with her long distance boyfriend. He lives in their hometown and she’s been commuting back four hours on weekends to see him from her new city. She knows she won’t be happy if she moves back, and needs to figure out how to ask him to try out city life on a trial basis.Our final caller is wondering if her boyfriend’s friend is acting too much like his girlfriend, including buying him an expensive vintage jacket for Christmas.

E533 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 4
01:58:03
Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have another special “where are they now” update show where we give you updates from our past callers, to see what’s happened in their situations and relationships since appearing on the show. We bring on our first caller who had a tumultuous relationship with her birth mother and wasn’t sure if it was better to forgive her and try to establish peace, or if she should move on and prioritize less toxic relationships. Our second caller had gone to a Harry Styles concert with a platonic guy friend from her apartment building, only to have things turn romantic. Has she listened to Nick’s advice and addressed the shift in dynamic head-on? Finally, we get an update from our caller that was thinking about hooking up with her boss’s - despite him showing some fuckboy qualities. Whose number did she get at the family holiday party, and who booty called her while with her boss? We also have some written updates! Our caller who was debating moving out from her boyfriend despite being financially dependent, the texting office hours question of if a guy who ended things might want to pursue her in the future, and our caller who needed to break up with her ex - again - all write back in to let us know exactly what happened. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers:

E530 Ask Nick - F*cking My Friend’s Situationship
01:39:01
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships! Before getting to our callers, Nick shares a friend’s dating story and how moving too quickly (and ignoring the advice of friends) can lead to a relationship ending. And we have our latest Break Up Song of the Week submission from Amanda before jumping into our callers. Our first caller is currently hooking up with her friend’s situationship, and thinks he wants to date her despite not wanting to commit to her friend. Do his actions prove that he’s ready for commitment? Our next caller was in an open relationship with her husband due to being long distance. However, he’s finally moved home and reestablished monogamy. But our caller is missing the days of sleeping with other people, and doesn’t know how to tell her husband. Our final caller is wondering if her boyfriend drinks too much. She’s addressed the situation before, but he’s lied to her about drinking and how much he’s drinking since their conversation. Can this issue be resolved, or will it only continue to get worse? “Lying to you wasn’t as important as having a drink.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

In this week’s second half of the contestant bios, we realize that there seems to be an increase in nurses and future mothers in the group, and talk about how starting a foundation in your twenties might be a red flag.

E527 Ask Nick - I Think My Parents Are Swingers
01:32:10
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships! Before getting to our callers, Nick reveals his plans to propose to Natalie and how he’s going to pop the question! We also get the latest update from Amanda’s break-up song of the week and respond to some listener feedback regarding the recent advice given on an episode of Ask Nick. We then get into our callers! Our first caller has reason to suspect her parents are in a polyamorous relationship and she is wondering how to address it with them. While she respects their choices, she’s hoping to stop them from actively being bad at sneaking around behind her back when she visits. Our next caller met a DJ who goes through a cycle of hooking her in with intense messages but then ghosts her. With this trend repeating, our caller wonders how to uncloud her judgment. Our final caller feels her partner is being hypocritical and setting up double standards in the relationship and wants to know how she can get him to realize what he’s doing. While she fully trusts her partner having his ex in her life, her partner doesn’t bestow the same trust in our frustrated caller. Our caller worries about how they can progress their relationship when in reality, even after two years, he doesn’t fully trust her. “Your ego is being a bad bouncer” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E526 Going Deeper with Justin Baldoni Plus Prince Harry, The Menu, and Death
01:44:57
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actor, director, producer, speaker, and entrepreneur, Justin Baldoni! Before getting into the interview, we break down Prince Harry’s 60 Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper and the aftermath of his appearance. We reflect on feeling empathy for Harry, worried if he’s opened too many cans of worms, donating to charity with money that isn’t yours, and acting out after repressing everything for years. We then break down the movie “The Menu” and get into the film’s depiction of death and debating if an afterlife exists. We then bring on Justin for his interview, talking about insecurity, interfacing with masculinity, learning from your father, and the importance of young boys learning emotional intelligence. We also talk about the difference between acceptance and accountability, writing about being enough, combatting the feeling of directionlessness, how men can truly be vulnerable, and raising a son with empathy in mind. We also bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who after learning that she was cheated on, takes extreme public measures. Recognizing she may have been toxic, our caller wonders how to best move forward from the situation. We then close by talking about what makes Nick and Justin cry. “No one told me I was enough.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to our new email address asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

We then dive into part one of the contestant bios!

01:36:19
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring on our callers and help them navigate the world of dating, relationships, and situationships! Before getting to our callers, Ali gives an update about meeting someone in her improv class, we talk about our upcoming new show, and we get into Amanda’s breakup song of the week! We then get into our callers! Our first caller is struggling with her boyfriend not doing a lot of the things she wants him to do, inside the bedroom and out. She wonders how to approach the subject of getting him to do more and if they may just not be compatible. Our next caller started dating her car salesman, worried that this may end up being a situationship waiting to happen. Our last caller wonders what to do after seeing that the guy she’s been dating for a month has received messages from his ex. Panicking and asking him to define the relationship afterwards, and him reacting poorly, she wonders if she was overreacting to a situation or if these are genuine red flags she should be worried about. “He ghosted you on Christmas when you had plans?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E523 Going Deeper with Dr. Maya Shankar - Keeping New Year’s Resolutions With Science
01:33:07
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by cognitive scientist and creator of A Slight Change In Plans, Dr. Maya Shankar. Before getting into the interview, we first get a quick update on GMA’s TJ and Amy’s relationship status, the recent info released about the Idaho murders, Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper getting banned from drinking on New Year’s Eve, and speculate on what they hope to learn from Anderson Cooper’s upcoming interview with Prince Harry. We then dig deep with Dr. Maya Shankar, talking about the best ways to set and hold yourself to New Year’s Resolutions. We talk about framing goals to be motivating and if it’s better to start something or quit something.. We also discuss the “empathy gap” between your present self and future self, and integrating slack into your goals. Dr. Shankar explains what she learned from having parents in a successful arranged marriage, the science of quitting, and why it’s important to tolerate boredom when structuring goals. We also talk about using novel experiences to break patterns in a relationship, and how “temptation funneling” can help you accomplish your goals. We then welcome our Texting Office Hours caller who recently matched with someone on Hinge who is extremely allergic to dogs. Our caller, having a dog herself, wonders if this is a dealbreaker or if she should try to give this guy a chance. “How would a cognitive scientist write their wedding vows?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to our new email address asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:36:04
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Freestyle Edition! Today we are joined by former Viner, YouTuber, podcaster, and entrepreneur, Heath Hussar. In our first recording of the new year, we start off with some Bachelor Tea, getting into Tyler Cameron and Kristin Cavalleri spending New Year’s Eve together, placing bets if they will become official or not, Michelle Young’s “leave no crumbs” comment, and talking about a reality TV crossover where Susie Evans called into a dating podcast that Cole from Love Is Blind Season 3 was a guest. We then end Bachelor Tea by talking about Rachel Lindsey expressing that she will not go on Chris Harrison’s new podcast, but that if Chris was willing to go on her podcast, she would be down to talk. We then get into talking about New Year's Resolutions, whether it’s easier to stop a bad habit than it is to start a new one, and how Heath quit smoking. We then get into the conversations around broadcasters drinking on air during the New Year's Eve shows, and then dive deep into the nepo baby discourse surrounding the release of the infamous New York Mag cover. We then discuss Celine Dion being left off of the Rolling Stones’ “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list, and share some airport stories before jumping into Texting Office Hours. We’re then joined by a caller whose friend has recently started dating her ex-boyfriend. Worried about the situation and the safety of her friend given some past situations, our caller wonders how involved she should be in giving advice and potentially stopping this relationship. “Take advantage of luck.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to our new email address asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

We then bring on our first caller, who after reconnecting with a past girlfriend, finds out that she’s already dating someone. Even after seeing red flags everywhere, knowing that she’s being suspicious, he still continues talking to her, wondering at this point if he should cut things off or not ask too many questions. Our next caller is wondering whether she should have her mom, who she is closest to, walk her down the aisle instead of her dad. Knowing that her dad can take things personally, she worries that she may be ending a relationship by going with her mom. Our last caller is wondering what to do after she finds old friends coming out of the woodwork after getting engaged. Now, our caller wonders how to deal with a friendship that’s changed and, while important, is no longer a priority. “Spoiler alert: I think about you a lot.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

With this man not fulfilling her needs as both a partner and a father to her child, she wonders if it’s worth it to move on. Our next caller has been single for three years and recently feeling lonely, is reflecting on a breakup from years ago. With her ex appearing in her dreams, she wonders how to detach from these feelings and hope for a brighter future.

E518 Harry and Meghan Recap with Chloe Bale Plus Royals Expert Michelle Tauber
01:53:21
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actress Chloe Bale as we recap the final three episodes of the Harry and Meghan Netflix series, finishing Volume Two! After catching up with Chloe about everything she has had going on in her life, we have Michelle Tauber, the senior editor overseeing Royals coverage at People, join the episode via Zoom. We dive into talking about how the tone felt different in this volume, Henry's trauma from the loss of Princess Diana, how the media scene compares to the paparazzi in LA, the theatrical language the royals use, King Charles’ thoughts on the situation, and the never complain and never explain mentality embedded in the royal family. We also get into having more empathy after this series, trying to fix family issues in the public eye, growing up being the “spare” of the family, conflicts in emotional intelligence, Meghan and Harry’s expectations of releasing a tell-all, and where we think things will go from here. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller, who is seeking help in getting dumped by her brother’s best friend. After feeling a hard time trusting this man in her interactions with him after the breakup, our caller wonders the best way to move on. “Never complain, never explain!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:29:28
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to answer your questions and to take your calls as we navigate the world of situationships. Our first caller is thinking about dating her boss’ brother after meeting him at a work party. With an age-gap, him displaying f-boy tendencies, and some questionable texts, she wonders if he’s worth the pursuit. Our next caller recently got out of a two year relationship and wants to memorialize her ex by possibly getting a tattoo of his initials so that she never forgets how she felt while in the relationship. Our last caller is unhappy being stuck living with her boyfriend at her father’s house after feeling like a temporary situation may be permanent. Feeling like it’s an issue with his worth ethic, she wonders how long she should support her boyfriend’s ambitions to become a Twitch streamer, while her father actively disapproves of this man’s career choice. “You’re already branded by your first love.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:56:08
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by author, playwright, and entertainment executive, Tara Schuster! We start things off by talking about gratitude, dealing with your family over the holidays, AI-generated art, and if robots will take over the world. We then get into the recap itself, diving into the first volume of episodes, covering episodes one through three of Harry and Meghan! We get into the recap, talking about getting really invested because of this documentary and understanding why England cares so much about the crown. We talk about Harry being sensitive because of his mother, Harry addressing his past mistakes in a genuine way, discerning if some of Meghan’s statements are genuine or not, and analyzing Harry and Meghan’s first few dates. We get into wanting more dirt, questioning if you should profit off the brand of the Royal Family, and how this documentary compares to the Oprah interview. We then wonder why they’re making a tell all, the media’s focus on Meghan’s family, and getting into the situation with Meghan’s father. We also talk about being high character in a low character environment, trying to do good with the privilege you have, and working to heal your wounds. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who is struggling after getting ghosted by a friend of ten years over a small miscommunication. After recognizing this is a repeating pattern, she wonders the best way to establish a new system of communication in order to form a relationship that isn’t about trying to win. We then close by talking about Tara’s upcoming book! “We’re above this, but here’s the tea.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Freestyle Edition! Today we are joined by Bachelor Nation’s Susie Evans! First, we start things off with some Bachelor Tea, diving into Nick and Johnny hanging out at the People’s Choice Awards, Gabby not outright shutting down her flirtatiousness with Vinny Guadagnino, why Nick thinks Peter and Kelley keeping their relationship more private is the right move, filming your wedding, and Tia Booth giving birth to her baby boy. We also check-in with Susie, getting updates on how she’s been since her breakup with Clayton.

We also talk about Clayton’s concern that the producers would make Susie the Bachelorette, learning who to trust at the end of the show, what she’s looking for in a future partner, finding balance and aligning ambitions within relationships, how to find the person who can be your cheerleader in the right kind of way, and money versus passion. We also talk about Katie Holmes’ throwback denim and dress outfit, and also talk about people using AI to create profile pictures. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who wonders how to navigate communicating expectations after having to get an emergency contraceptive from a hook-up.

E513 Ask Nick - Blindsided Into Meeting Dad’s Mistress
01:15:05
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here once again, to bring on our callers and help them navigate the crazy world of dating. We start things off before our callers by talking about a romantic Hanukkah Party, if ranch is good, and how Amanda practiced woodworking as a child. First, we speak with someone who was blindsided into meeting her dad’s mistress at Thanksgiving and is wondering how to break a toxic cycle she has with her dad. Then, we speak with our caller whose sister is dating our caller’s old hookup from a few years ago. Now that he’s coming to family functions and causing tension between our caller and her current boyfriend, our caller wonders what to do. The more the story unfolds, the more our caller realizes it’s simply a matter of trust and jealousy and that she really needs to put her foot down. Finally, we speak with a caller who is in a nonsexual situationship with her roommate's brother. They’ve gone on a date, and really like each other, but he seems to have pulled back in their communication after having spoken with his sister. She’s wondering if how she is communicating with him is needy behavior and whether or not she’s already gotten the answer she thinks she’s looking for. “It’s your job to trust me.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E509 Going Deeper with Katie Maloney - Divorce, Wearing The Pants, & Finding New Love
01:38:02
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Vanderpump Rules star and artist, Katie Maloney, as we dig deep into the latest in her world, as well as the hottest pop culture topics. We start things off by getting into Katie’s divorce, navigating the holidays while single, feeling like you have to wear both the pants and dress in a relationship, wanting more alpha energy from a partner, and how the most exciting partner isn’t always the best one. We then bring up the Raquel of it all, which castmates act the most different off-camera, how being sarcastic on reality TV can be a bad idea, and the worst argument taken out of context. We also debate Black Friday versus Cyber Monday, why Costco is awesome, if Katie would get married again, and the best ways to heal from a divorce. We then dive into some pop culture topics. We get into talking about your partner’s manhood on the internet, the latest updates from Pete Davidson and Emrata, PR relationships, grand gestures not serving as commitment, and Kendall Jenner and Devin Booker breaking up. We then welcome our Texting Office Hour caller, who doesn’t want her best friend to bring her boyfriend when she comes to visit our caller later this year. With the boyfriend making a mess last time, our caller wonders how to set boundaries and put her foot down, without making anyone too upset. “Someone was missing and it was hard to ignore.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:42:56
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Freestyle Edition! Today we are joined by Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo to get the latest on their relationship and to address all the questions and drama around the Bachelor In Paradise Reunion, Victoria and Johnny’s breakup, and Greg’s “rekindling” with Victoria. We get into Greg and Victoria’s friendship before Paradise, the unraveling after the engagement, getting only the half-truth on big questions, and watching Gabby’s relationship with Johnny unfold after leaving the beach. We dig deep and talk about the wine glass being thrown, taking accountability, not admitting to saying hateful things, and how their relationship was toxic for one another. We also talk about what happened at Natalie’s infamous birthday party, Victoria shutting down Tyler at the reunion, and clearing the air on the timeline itself. We also get into why Greg and Victoria went to Rome, when they started dating, and how this relationship feels really different from the past. We then welcome our Texting Office Hours caller, who is struggling with her boyfriend acting out of insecurity and going through her phone, trying to find things to blame her for. “There were no questions about me wanting to support her.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E505 Ask Nick - You Don’t Need to be Happy for Them
01:39:46
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back again to bring on our callers and help them navigate the world of dating. Before getting to our callers, the group talks about avoiding burnout, Ali shares about her first date, and Amanda announces this week’s break-up song, with a couple of honorable mentions in preparation for the upcoming Turkey Dump. We then get into it, welcoming our first caller, who is planning to visit a hook-up overseas. She wants to have fun and keep it casual while also getting to know the deal on if things will be moving to the next level. Is it worth having the awkward conversation and possibly ruining the vacation? Next, our next caller needs advice on how to get over a secret situationship from within her friend group that has recently ended, after the guy started dating his ex, who is still in this group. With nobody in the group knowing about the previous situationship, our caller wonders if she should feel pressured to keep the secret and how she can properly move on. Lastly, we speak with a caller who decided she wanted more from a guy she thought she was casually dating. When she told him she’d been dating other people but wanted to be exclusive with him, he responded by acting confused and not knowing if he wanted to commit or not. Is there such a thing as the right guy at the wrong time, or are they simply just not communicating expectations effectively? “Is this helping me heal?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:23:03
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! On this episode, we’re joined by singer, songwriter, and Bachelor Fan, Jake Miller, as we return to paradise to recap the latest of the love, the heartbreak, and the drama. On this episode, after talking about Jake’s proposal, we kick things off first by getting into some Bachelor Nation tea. We talk about Rachel entering the dating world again, and we also break down Jesse Palmer’s statements about the upcoming season, with Zach feeling like a throwback. We then get into recapping the two episodes themselves, starting off with the aftermath of Rodney’s emotional exit, Brandon’s questioning of love, and then breaking down Eliza’s trip to Baltimore to pursue Justin. We talk about how valid Justin’s statements are, if he would pursue Eliza after the show, and if he was just trying to win in the moment. We also talk about how everyone is talking about wanting to be picked this season, Mara’s explosive entrance, and Johnny opening up about his family problems. We dive more into Kate’s statements regarding Logan, what her requests for him to do more actually mean, and a surprise entrance by Gabby and Rachel to shake up some drama. We talk about if Kate actually needed to be “saved” from Logan, whether or not Genevieve and Aaron are truly compatible, and the drama behind the itch versus pain argument. We close out with the Sadie Hawkins Dance from Hell, with Jessenia trying to get closure from Andrew, Ency attempting to intervene in them talking, Andrew admitting his heart is still with Teddi, and the departure of Jessenia, Andrew, and Ency from the show. “If you’re not into her, just say it!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back again to bring on our callers and give advice about dating and relationships.

Feeling like she’s more mature than this guy, she wonders how to communicate that he’s not capable of giving her what she wants in a relationship.

With this guy still calling his late girlfriend his girlfriend, our caller wonders how to help this man move through grief and if instead she should actually move on to let him mourn on his own terms. “I just want to enjoy him for now.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Now she learns to understand what this guy really wants and how to be direct with what she wants herself. “I’m the Nick Viall of my friend group!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:58:26
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by comedian, podcaster, and host, Michelle Collins! We’re back again to recap episodes 8 through 10 as we break down how our lovely couples are doing as we lead up to their highly anticipated wedding days! Before we get to Love Is Blind, we kick things off with some Pop Culture News! We rate celebrity Halloween costumes, react to Heidi Klum’s realistic worm outfit, talk about Prince Harry’s upcoming memoir, and talk about a Reddit post about splitting rent when you’re in different financial situations. We then get to the episodes! We dive into Raven and SK, talking about their rent argument, Raven growing on everyone during the season, a “romantic” back alley gondola ride, and the shock wedding twist ending in heartbreak. We then debate if every couple is a bit toxic, Michelle gives her hot takes on Alexa and Brennan, and talks about Alexa’s dad being hot as hell. We also talk about how the bachelor parties could’ve used a bigger budget, how the show only needs one success story, and Bartise’s crude comments at dinner. We get into the Nerf Gun fight with Cole, Zanab needing way more support from her partner, and if the women chose boys over men. We talk about the couples ignoring obvious red flags, how there should be a breakup before the wedding, Nancy sticking wholeheartedly to her decision, and an update on Colleen being a ballerina. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours callers. Our first caller needs advice after her guy friend and ex-boyfriend moved into a place together. After her friend asks our caller to visit, she wonders what the best way to approach this situation is. Our second caller wonders how to break a toxic cycle and change a situationship back into a friends with benefits relationship. “You’re being understanding like you’re his GF, but you’re not his GF.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E496 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Davis Burleson
01:28:14
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we’re joined by the host of "What’s Poppin? With Davis!" and influencer, Davis Burleson. In this episode, we’re returning to paradise to catch up on all the latest drama and heartbreak happening on the beach! We first kick things off by diving into some Bachelor Nation Tea!

We then hop right into the recap itself, kicking things off with all the love triangles. We talk about Alex returning to the beach, debating if Johnny is ready for love this time, a steamy sauna date focused on commitment, and Justin returning with his eyes set on Eliza. We talk about how Rodney being a nice person led to a miscommunication with Eliza, the women wanting the men to chase them, and Aaron’s outburst in front of Wells. We also get into the gaslighting accusations, Hayden admitting to spending six figures on pet medical bills, and a squeamish Hayden on a zipline date with Kate. We also talk about Michael A rooting for couples to stay together, fireworks being used to mess with people, Genevieve pitching a perfect game, and the twins returning to the beach in (unintentionally) matching outfits. We also give some predictions on what the rest of the season holds, when everything and anything can happen. “Do I like them or are they just checking boxes?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E495 Ask Nick - Do You Want a Project or Do You Want a Boyfriend?
01:25:47
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back again to bring on our callers and help give them advice as they navigate relationships and situationships. We kick things off by catching up on “Dating with Ali” and discussing whether or not people have a favorite ex and if you have to call someone from a situationship an ex as well. We then bring on our callers! First, we talk with someone who recently ended a relationship of two years because her boyfriend never introduced her to his parents. With other situations where her boyfriend was never willing to be emotionally vulnerable, she wonders if there is a way to properly get closure and let him know that she still cares for him. Our next caller is struggling with her current girlfriend being super close friends with her ex-fiancée. Feeling that pet names aren’t typically platonic, our caller wonders how to clearly state her discomfort to her girlfriend, who seems offended that our caller has an issue with this friendship. Our last caller caught her boyfriend snapchatting tons of women on his phone. After our caller is directly messaged by a girl that supposedly slept with this man, our caller wonders how to move on from this situation. “Don’t expect them to love you the way you want to be loved” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E494 Going Deeper - Love Is Blind Recap with Laura Rugetti
02:19:11
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by celebrity hairstylist, Laura Rugetti. We’re here to switch things up a bit and dive into recapping Season 3 of Love Is Blind, breaking down all the drama and crazy moments in this new season! Before breaking down Love Is Blind, we get into some pop culture news. We first remember Leslie Jordan and all he brought to the world, then we get the latest updates on James Corden’s feud with a NY restaurant, we then break down a mysterious IG post from Bridget Moynahan throwing shade to Tom Brady’s marriage. Then we get to the recap, debating if Love Is Blind feels more authentic than The Bachelor, Bartise flirting with Raven after meeting everyone else, and the men acting like they deserve a medal for dating someone they were immediately physically attracted to. Then we talk about the men being obsessed with ballerina dancers, the Andrew eyedrop controversy, and Raven refusing to eat in the style of SK’s family tradition. We also talk about Cole’s ‘I don’t like you when you’re mad’ comment, Brennon and Alexa bonding over having different upbringings, Zanab needing to have more confidence, Colleen seeming like she chases FBoys, the fight between Matt and Colleen, Bartiste fishing for compliments, and an intense conversation typically not aired on TV. We then bring on two texting office hour callers! Our first caller has trouble dealing with the fallout of a breakup with a FBoy, bringing a friend on with her to get advice from Nick on how to navigate moving on. After revealing an emotional letter she sent him, she learns to find the fun in dating again and how to approach dates from a positive mindset. We then bring on our second caller who wants to shoot her shot with a guy she went on one date with two years ago, now that she’s single. Now she has to decide if the most convenient option isn’t always the best. “He only gives compliments to receive them back!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E493 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Natasha Bure
01:43:14
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we’re going back to paradise by recapping this week’s episode with singer, songwriter, and actress, Natasha Bure. The group first discusses The Tea, covering Casey’s broken foot, the overall reaction to Tino’s interview, Sierra’s TikTok shade moment, and the difference between exploring a connection and leading someone on. They also cover Lace’s realness, whether you can only “leave” (or lead?) with your heart, the intimacy of touching someone’s head, and what Jacob possibly meant by having a “real romantic connection.” Nick gives his opinion on Danielle and Michael’s love language (aka napping), where one draws the line between dating and f*ckboy behavior, the power of being coy with your words, and how the group would react if they were forced to interact with someone who hated them without knowing them directly. They then close out with Victoria’s checklist conversation and predict who they think she might choose in the end. “The pain doesn’t mean they were special” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:13:18
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we’re back to bring on our callers to help them through the crazy world of modern dating! Our first caller is interested in dating her ex’s best friend, after showing interest when talking at a bar. After spending the night together, and this guy fluctuating in his level of commitment, our caller wonders if this man is serious when he said he would risk his friendship, or if he’s a 50 year old f*ckboy that doesn’t know what he actually wants. Our next caller is on the verge of fully committing to a long distance relationship with a musician. With a lot of positive signs, our caller wonders if she can formulate a healthy long distance relationship while remembering that you can’t cheat a genuine connection with FaceTime. Our last caller is looking for advice on updating her dating app profile to be more appealing. With a refresh of the pictures and a new approach for openers, will she feel ready to go back to take on the dating world? “Enjoy being excited without getting ahead of yourself.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E491 Going Deeper - Tino Franco Speaks
01:37:04
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Tino Franco to hear him tell us all about his experience on the last season of The Bachelorette and the devastating situation that led to heartbreak with Rachel. We kick things off with a bit of Pop Culture Hot Goss, talking about Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber being photographed together at the Academy Museum Gala, and reacting to the concept of surprise weddings, talking about Robert Kraft’s ceremony. We then welcome in Tino, to answer all of your burning questions after his AFR appearance and breakup with Rachel Recchia. Tino tells all as we check-in by asking how’s his heart, what made him fall in love with Rachel, and if he believes in the phrase “once a cheater, always a cheater.” We also get into how they handled the pressures of a public relationship, his thoughts on AFR, and what challenges began to arise in their love together. We then get into it by having Tino break down the incident, explain why he cheated, and talk about how he told Rachel. We talk about insecurity leading to desire, why Tino didn’t come clean sooner, and how Rachel reacted after hearing the full truth. We then get into the house confrontation, if Tino knew there would be cameras, and if Tino genuinely feels regret for cheating. We then talk about Tino being remorseful, what he’s done since the breakup, and how getting help with his mental health has been a huge step for him. After that, we tackle your burning questions about the ring conversation, what Tino’s purpose of the journal was, if Tino heard from Aven after AFR aired, and if Tino is still in love with Rachel. “I let her down by having my insecurities run wild.” To Help Tino and Camp Ronald McDonald in their goal to emotionally support children with cancer and their families, consider donating at: https://one.bidpal.net/HEROESFORHEALING2022/browse/donation Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:32:38
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by model, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and Bach Nation star, Kit Keenan. On this episode, we catch up with Kit and ask her about her dating life, the importance of setting expectations with communication, and how anyone in hookup culture can be guilty of becoming a f*ckboy. We also talk about how you can start a relationship knowing that it isn’t for forever, if it’s better to have a roster or one person when casually dating, and how your parent’s relationship can serve both as a standard and a pressure. We then get into some pop culture news, laying out the updates on the developing drama and divorce rumors between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, and dive into speculations of Adam Levine’s relationship dynamic with his wife, Behati, after he acknowledges the DMs but denies that he was having an affair. We then bring on our two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller wonders if she can lock in a date with a guy her aunt scouted out for her at a wedding. Never meeting this guy in real life, she wonders if she should be bold and take a chance with this man. Our next caller matched on a dating app with her first kiss and first boyfriend from 15 years ago. Focused on what their relationship used to be, she has to learn to ask better questions to understand how this guy has changed in the past 15 years from what she used to date. “Every fuckboy wants a family one day.” Please nominate us for People’s Choice Awards The Pop Podcast of 2022 by going to https://www.votepca.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2022 and typing in “The Viall Files” where you can nominate up to 25 times a day!

E486 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Bri Springs
01:09:57
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! We’re back with another episode, joined by Bri Springs of Bachelor Nation, to break down the latest episode of this season! We kick things off by getting into some Bach Nation Tea, breaking down the Justin and Kira drama where Justin called out Kira for not seeing her at Stagecoach, Kira’s clapback that they hangout, and breaking down Teddi’s post reflecting on her departure from this season, where she calls this environment cruel and one that crossed her boundaries. We then get into the episode itself, where we get into what could’ve made Teddi stay, Rodney and Justin’s risky pickup lines, Rodney and Lace having an unexpected romance, and Aaron acting like a baby instead of taking accountability. We also talk about Genevieve and Shanae acting like a group of mean girls towards Sally, the missed opportunity to make Brandon the next Bachelor, and Brandon’s authentic emotional approach to dating. We also talk about Sierra and Michael navigating what taking things slow means, how people can tell if you’re interested based on how you phrase things, and the real reason why more guys aren’t courting Brittany. We also talk about the guys being overly concerned about the edit they’ll get, knowing when it’s your turn to leave the show, and Peter having bad role models. We also talk about Jacob using humor as a mask, Ashley and Jared farting in bed, Casey doing nothing on the beach, and exploring who would go on the naked date. “When you like someone, your wording is different.” Please nominate us for People’s Choice Awards The Pop Podcast of 2022 by going to https://www.votepca.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2022 and typing in “The Viall Files” where you can vote up to 25 times a day!

E485 Ask Nick - Emotionally Unavailable Or A Jerk?
56:14
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we’re here again to help you navigate through the crazy world of dating, relationships, and situationships, by taking your calls and answering your questions! We bring on our first caller who wonders if she should confess the feelings she’s developed for her brother’s best friend after flirting with him. Now that this guy says he no longer has a girlfriend, our caller wonders if it’s best to be direct, asking him out to get an answer to the question of if he’s actually interested in something more than a flirt. Our next caller joins and asks for advice about what to do after her best friend seems to have ghosted her. Struggling with what seems to be the death of a friendship, our caller wonders if she should reach out or just try to move on, finding a healthy new chapter in her life. Our last caller feels that she isn’t getting the emotional support she needs from her consistent monogamous friends with benefits she’s been seeing for over a year, with this guy giving very unsupportive and disengaged responses when our caller reveals that her mom is in the late stages of cancer. Feeling the desire to focus on her family and move on, she wonders if all jerks are replaceable. “He ‘customer serviced’ you!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E484 Going Deeper With Jason Alabaster - Tells All, Try Guys Drama Plus Brad & Leo Dating Stories
01:55:27
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we have a very exciting episode where we welcome on Jason Alabaster from this last season of The Bachelorette! First off, we dive into some hot goss on all things pop culture, talking about Lil Nas X delaying a show because of stomach issues, the scandalous cheating situation involving Ned from The Try Guys, and Emily Ratajkowski hanging out with Brad Pitt after her recently getting cheated on by her ex. We also discuss sharing your streaming service logins and if you should kick your ex off your account if you catch them watching Game of Thrones. We then get deep with Jason, reflecting on his time on the last season of The Bachelorette! We check-in on how his heart is doing, what drove him to come on the show, and what made him initially interested in pursuing Gabby. Jason also talks about sitting by the fireplace instead of talking to people most of Night One, the pressure of potentially getting engaged to someone when you’ve talked for less than ten hours, and accidentally stepping on Gabby’s foot. We also see where Jason is at in the healing process, his reactions to comments that he led Gabby on, and breaking up in the Fantasy Suite. We then welcome on our two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller feels attracted to her physical therapist and felt inspired to call into the show after hearing about our other caller that shot her shot with her chiropractor. Now she wonders about the perfect date, where she can make it romantic, but can also have an escape plan to friendzone him if things don’t go well. We then bring on our next caller who left the possibility of being friends with her ex after they broke up. Now that her ex wants to reconnect, and with him sending over 100 long diary entry style text messages, our caller wonders if she bit off more than she could chew and the best way to move on from someone that has an unhealthy attachment to the hope of something more. “We basically broke up in the fantasy suite.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

01:14:34
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring you another steamy episode where we bring on our callers to help answer their questions about navigating the dating world. In this special episode, we sent our callers an advanced copy of Nick’s book, “Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday”, in order to get their thoughts and to have them apply the stories and advice from the book to their current and future romantic relationships! We bring on our first caller who wonders how she could’ve not fed her ego by pursuing a situationship with a guy that had clear red flags and warning signs. We then bring on a caller who had a wonderful relationship with a guy, until she started asking questions about his female roommate. With the truth coming out that this roommate was actually his wife, our caller wonders how to survive the blast of this mess and move on. Our next caller feels like he would be an amazing partner but just hasn’t had successful relationships or many opportunities to show off the love he can give. He hopes that by enlisting the help of Nick’s book and his female friends, he can find out how to set his right foot forward in the dating world. Our next caller is in shock after her one and a half year long distance situationship gets ended randomly by the guy she’s dating. Surprised and unsure what to do, she reflects on the answers she got from Nick’s book. Our last caller is looking forward to re-entering the dating world after returning from being stationed somewhere else for the military. With new advice and an open mind, this caller looks forward to finding love. We let each caller talk about their situation, what they liked about the book, what they learned, and who they would recommend this read to! So let’s get into our callers and see what they have going on in the world of love! “You made me excited to get back into dating!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Today we have a very exciting episode where we welcome on Harry Jowsey of Too Hot To Handle to get the exclusive tell all on his recent breakup with Georgia Hassarati. On this episode we kick things off by recapping the breakup, talking about how moving on is harder when it was an amicable breakup, going cold turkey on reaching out, and how to focus on your ex's best interests by letting them heal. We also get into setting goals with dating, manifesting dating your best friend, how your love language can change over time, and how being upfront about your expectations helps in the long term. We then get into some pop culture topics, recapping the Adam Levine cheating scandal, how people are too focused on getting clout, and the shocking revelations and breakups from Love is Blind’s After the Altar episode. We then welcome on our Texting Office Hours caller, where our caller struggles after she sees the guy she’s dating hanging out with her ex’s best friend. Knowing that the friend doesn’t like her, and feeling awkward on her next date with the guys she’s seeing, she worries that he’ll ignore his attraction in favor of gossip that might’ve been spread about her. Now she wonders if it’s worth it to shoot her shot with a guy that didn’t offer to walk her home after a three hour date together. “It was such a good breakup, if there is such a thing.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E477 Bachelorette Recap w/ Scheana Shay
01:08:54
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Finale Edition! Today we are joined by Scheana Shay of Vanderpump Rules, to dive into the explosive drama of the ending of this first ever double Bachelorette season. We kick things off by diving into the situation with Tino and Rachel, breaking down the fight around Tino cheating. While we feel there is no redemption, we wonder if Rachel brought Tino on to try to find a solution or just to yell at him because rightfully so, she’s been hurt. We reflect on the mess of the situation and realize this may have been Rachel’s biggest fear, given a season designed to give constant rejection. We then rejoice in having a happy ending with Gabby and Erich! We break down the texting controversy with Erich and dive into why while his actions weren’t perfect, they serve to highlight how things can change so quickly on the show. We also break down the announcement of the next Bachelor, Zach Shallcross! And we recap all the crazy antics that happened tonight with Zach, with them putting him on the spot to remember names, initial thoughts, crazy facial reactions, and already having America vote on the First Impression Rose.

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition!

She wonders if she is living too much in the past, describing a picture perfect situation she has created for herself and finding herself also worrying about the dangers of living in a fantasy. Our next caller shares that her boyfriend broke up with her because he thought she traveled too much, while he himself was away on a boys’ trip. Even though he seems like he was the problem, she feels guilt and has difficulty moving on. Our last caller worries that her boyfriend's new found career choice may take him away from where they currently live. Feeling like she is settled with a strong job, she wonders if it’s worth the sacrifice to move with him and how she should best react to his potential new career choice. “You can do the right thing and still hurt his feelings.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E474 Bachelorette Recap w/ Greg Grippo
01:15:16
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are joined by Bachelor Nation’s Greg Grippo to dive into the last few episodes of this season of the Bachelorette, leading up to the ever approaching and exciting finale! We kick things off by recapping our reactions to the interview we did with Nayte, now that the dust has settled. We share our thoughts about the breakup and realize that two good and well intentioned people can have a toxic relationship. We then get into the episode itself, picking up with the fight between Rachel and Zach. We break down age being used as an excuse, a smile that reveals true feelings, and how leading someone on is different than saying they’re the problem. We also talk about the night date with Rachel and Aven, how the guys are only getting half of the time they usually would, and how Aven tried his best to connect with Rachel in conflict. We also talk about if we think anyone on the show is reading Reddit threads about them, and how Clayton is still being used as the butt of a joke even though people are making the same mistakes. We then share some predictions of what we think will be talked about at the live segment, and how next season is really their only chance to have two Bachelors at once. “If you have to break hearts, don’t make them feel like it was their fault.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E472 Ask Nick Update’s Special Episode
01:04:46
Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have a special “where are they now” update show where we bring back some of our previous callers and get an update on what happened after they called in for advice. We first cut back to their initial story and question, the advice they got, how they took the advice and what they learned from the situations they were in. Our first caller reached out to get help shooting her shot with her hot chiropractor, wondering how to be direct in a sticky situation. After revealing in her update that it did not go as she hoped, she talks about what she learned and dives into her new prospects in love. Our next caller wonders if his friend is gay after the friend continues to make flirty advances. Worried that he would ruin the friendship by saying something, our caller wonders the best way to approach the subject. After revealing some new information, our caller checks back in with us to talk about how their friendship has continued and recaps the big conversation they had. Our last caller called in originally after she found out that her boyfriend is actually married with four kids. Feeling that they had a strong connection but getting judgment from her friends, our caller wondered simply what to do. She calls back in to update us about how things have changed. We also read some great updates that past callers wrote in and shared. We get an update from our caller who wondered how to share to her mom that she got tattoos, an update from our mediation callers that were debating if they should get a dog together or wait until they moved to NYC, and our caller that wanted a courthouse wedding while her boyfriend wanted something grand. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers:

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we have a very exciting episode where we are joined by Nayte Olukoya of Bach Nation, where he tells all regarding his shocking breakup with Michelle Young. To kick things off, we dive into some pop culture topics, such as breaking down the controversy of “Spitgate” where it is alleged that Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine during the Venice Film Festival showing of the upcoming movie, Don’t Worry Darling. Was this just two friends messing around or is this something deeper? We also talk about the newest TikTok from Emily Ratajkowski joking that she prefers “ugly men” amid her split from her cheating husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, and we then dive into talking about the difference between hot ugly and ugly hot. After the pop culture, we get into our interview with Nayte, where he talks about the events that lead to the breakup, how they broke up over the phone, and how the pressures of social media affected their personal lives. We also talk about why Michelle blocked Nayte, how Nayte plans to heal, and how Nayte broke up with someone different from who he fell in love with. We get emotional while laying everything out, so tune in for this very special interview. After the interview, we bring in one of our Texting Office Hours callers, who needs help with her boyfriend that isn’t acting like someone with a label should. “Breakups suck and you gotta do what you gotta do!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are joined by journalist, host, model, and actress, Cathy Kelley! In this episode we jump in to break down the latest episodes of the Bachelorette, getting into both episodes of this week’s Fantasy Suites. We start off with some tea from Bachelor Nation, talking about Hannah Brown’s IG post about her brother’s wedding, and addressing the rumors if Gabby is on the next Dancing With The Stars. We then get into the episode itself, where we talk how Rachel and Gabby navigate situations that they called Clayton out for, if the lead always has to lead someone on, and when exploring all your options hurts the person you end up with. We talk about Jason’s goodbye and how he may have had a guard up, Erich communicating that being in the fantasy suites felt like being cheated on, and how to best have an argument while on camera. We also talk about the blowup between Zach and Rachel, which Bachelorette may be acting more than loving, and Gabby finally opening up fully for the first time on the show. “Rachel is leading someone on for sure.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E469 Ask Nick - He Divorced Me For The Nanny
59:46
Today we’re back with another exciting episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to answer your questions about navigating relationships and situationships. Our first caller shares that she is having a hard time setting boundaries with her ex-husband since their marriage ended mostly due to him having an affair with their nanny, yet never admitting to it while they were married. She wonders how to move past this and be grateful for her new lease on life while also managing having to co-parent with her ex. Our next caller is concerned for her best friend as our caller finds her new boyfriend to be disrespectful of boundaries and constantly pressuring them both. She loves her friend and asks how to best support her while also telling her about her concerns while not pushing her away due to her distrust and dislike of this guy. Our last caller is very comfortable in her home town with family and a great job she's worked hard at. Yet, she wonders if she is just letting her life and opportunities for love pass her by in staying there versus moving away and trying to expand her horizons. “It can be addicting to feel bad.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

49:41
Today we’re back with another exciting episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring on our callers to help them answer their questions and navigate their relationships, situationships, and everything in between. We welcome on our first caller who wonders if she’s doing the right thing after leaving a relationship with a guy after finding out that he was following thousands of Instagram accounts of women in their underwear. After her confrontation goes poorly and he starts following more girls, she reflects on the situation and wonders if she handled this really strange situation properly. Our next caller found love and got married during covid but has yet to tell his best friend and wonders how to tell him without causing his friend to react poorly for being kept in the dark about a major life event. He acknowledges that there will be repercussions, but knows that being honest is the best approach to retain the friendship. Our last caller has been on a bunch of great dates with a guy and wants to know if it's a good time to tell him she wants it to be more. She wonders how long is long enough to pop these questions and if taking this step might scare people away. “He gave you closure, you just have to see it that way.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E465 Going Deeper with Ellie Zeiler - Break Ups, Being Harry Styles' Girlfriend & Selling Sunset
01:26:30
Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by TikTok Star and Influencer, Ellie Zeiler! On this new episode of Going Deeper we dive deep with our guest, asking about her recent breakup, how social media has made moving on worse, how dating is a lot more complicated when you’re an influencer, the best places to find people to date, and why it’s important to work on yourself not just when you’re single. We also dive into some pop culture news, talking about Sofia Vergara leaking the wedding of Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland, the shocking divorces from Love Is Blind alumni, and the breaking news that Christine Quinn will be leaving Selling Sunset and how this split will probably be better for her. We then welcome on two Texting Office Hours callers where our first caller wants help with shooting her shot with a guy that she thinks she has a 50% chance of success with. But after not hanging out with him for a while, she wonders how she can ask him out on a date without seeming like she cares too much. Our second caller wonders how to deal with a girl she’s been talking to, who only seems to text our caller when she’s bored.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by actor, writer, host, and Bachelor superfan, Dave Holmes! On this episode we kick things off by digging into some tea from Bachelor Nation.

We then get into reacting to the episode itself, picking up from last week’s cliffhanger of Logan, how Logan has proved he’s on the show for the right reasons, and how Nate seems like the right choice for the next Bachelor. We also talk about how Rachel has had a rough episode with canceling the group date, how she’s making the same mistakes that Clayton made, and how the two Bachelorettes handle rejection and disappointment differently.

01:19:42
Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Actress and Musician Hayley Orrantia. You’ll recognize her from The Goldbergs! On this episode we dive deep with our guest talking about what it’s like to be on one show for almost a decade, how the LA karaoke scene is like nothing else, and how relationships that ended poorly aren’t a waste of time. We then talk about how Hayley and her fiancé bonded over dating sociopaths, how forcing yourself to deal with heartbreak is better than ignoring it, and continuing to learn about the person you’re dating even after the honeymoon phase ends. We also cover the Emily Ratajkowski cheating scandal and dive in to present the narrative of why people cheat and why the person cheated on should never feel at fault. We also talk about the Rejection Challenge, why exposing yourself to “no” can make you a more dynamic person, and the controversy with Drake airdropping a picture he took of a woman to her. We then welcome on two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller wonders what to do after being ghosted after an amazing first date. She asks how to cut through the noise and learn that this “perfect guy” may actually be a f*ckboy hiding in plain sight. Our next caller wants help in drafting a text to respond to a guy she feels treated her poorly by constantly not making her a priority. Now she has to learn that she shouldn’t be focusing on making a guy from her past feel bad when she’s already happy in a relationship. “He’s not even pretending to be a f*ckboy!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

On this episode we kick things off by getting the latest in Bach Nation news; talking about Nayte’s recent big move to Los Angeles and becoming roommates with Rodney, a recent paparazzi photoshoot of Tyler Cameron and Paige Lorenze in NYC, plus Nick’s worst paparazzi moments. We then dive into recapping the episode itself! We talk about how Gabby and Rachel are handling getting both devotion and rejection from the guys, how every season challenges your insecurities, and how to manage when half the guys are not there for you. We talk about how Mario blew his chance by exploring too much, how some of the guys may flip teams from one lead to the other, and how it’s a miracle Hayden is still in the game after a rough night. We also dive into Gabby breaking the mold of surface level fairytales by getting real about not having the love of her mom, and on the other hand, how some people are finding “deep” connections over the fact that their fathers would drive them to the airport. “Getting clarity isn't the end of the world.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E450 Going Deeper - The One That Got Away, Chris Evans plus JLO & Ben Married
01:16:22
Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by star of The One That Got Away, Jeff Perla. On this episode we welcome on Jeff to dive into his experience on the show, get the tea on who he left the show with, and how the producers dug up people from his past. We also talk about if it’s worth it to explore missed connections, the contestants Jeff loved and hated the most on the show, and doing body shots for a dollar at brunch. We also talk about coming out when you’re an adult, and how sometimes reopening a connection can bring a lot of emotional weight. We also dive into some pop culture topics such as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting married after years of being apart, Chris Evans announcing that he’s ready for love and will be putting all his energy into it, and the Tristan Thompson -Khloe Kardashian situation with people commenting on her dating choices. We then welcome on TWO Texting Office Hours Callers. Our first caller wants to formulate a text to help find a reason for her to travel to see a guy that lives far away from her. Knowing that they’ve hit it off in the past, she learns to be direct and learn that it’s better to ask for what you want rather than chase. Our next caller wonders what to do when someone she’s been hooking up with begins to ask very strange personal questions regarding her and the future. Now she wonders if she should play the game and send a semi-snarky text or move on from this hookup. “Don’t chase a man during Summer.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E449 Bachelorette Recap w/ Blake Moynes
01:23:41
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by Blake Moynes of Bachelor Nation! In this episode we start things off by diving into some hot questions and check-in on Blake to see how he is dealing with his breakup of Katie, how long it took him to recover, and what he’s focused on now. We ask if there was emotional cheating in his relationship and then ask him about his time on the Bachelor and his interactions with Greg on Season 17 of The Bachelorette. We ask how valid it was that Katie said she knew that Greg was not the one and we solve the mystery behind Blake’s censored painting. We then respond to our episode last week and talk about our approach to responding to drama and how our response to Katie differs from the situation where Blake Horstmann leaked texts. After some Bachelor Nation Tea, we dive into recapping the latest episode of The Bachelorette. On the latest episode, we find that there were a lot of upset eliminations, with Jordan the drag racer being sent home despite going on a one on one date, and how the first impression rose doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re safe. With two Bachelorettes, are the dynamics different and are previous signs of going far in the season now signs you’ll be sent home next? We also talk about if the guys should be focusing on one bachelorette or should they get to know a bit about both, if nicknames are a sign you’re not being taken seriously, and if there will be jealousy between both of the Bachelorettes. “Man earned that f*ckboy edit!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E448 Ask Nick - I Want The Courthouse He Wants The Big Wedding
01:07:50
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We welcome on our callers to give them advice about their relationships and situationships! Our first caller deals with dating after moving to a new state, finding it hard to connect and progress the dates she’s been going on. After finding a guy she has genuine interest in, she wonders if she should put herself out there and shoot her shot, while also learning to take things slow as she recently moved and has a lot of settling in to do. Our next caller struggles when a guy she can’t get over really might not be as great as she makes him out to be. Now she must learn to hold more respect for herself as the good traits this guy holds are traits she could find with anyone. Our last caller deals with conflict when her current boyfriend wants to have a massive wedding, while she is more than happy to go to the courthouse. With this conflict in mind, we ask our caller if the reasons for her preferences might be from a deeper cause. “We all have to shift through dirt to find gold” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E444 Going Deeper - Mediation Caller Special
01:21:22
Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are switching up our typical Going Deeper format to welcome some Mediation Callers! We bring on friends and couples to help them hash out their disagreements and see what we can do to help them find some common ground. Our first callers are looking for advice on how to deal with the boyfriend going out and drinking while the girlfriend stays home and worries. He finds going out to be the perfect outlet and doesn’t mean to worry his partner, but he finds himself struggling to stay disciplined with communication and promises. Our next callers wrote in about one of them wanting a dog and the other not yet being sure. As they just moved in together, literally 24 hours ago, they wonder if their lives are too busy to get a dog. And with them potentially moving to another state in the future, are there too many roadblocks to commit to a pup? Should they just get a dog and figure it out or wait a beat and make sure they are truly ready? Our last callers were best friends but had a falling out a few years ago. They get back together in the same room for the first time to try to figure out how to mend this relationship right on The Viall Files. They ask how to best get past their issues and move on from the things that occurred and put strain on the friendship. Can they restore their relationship back to what it was before? Or because of the falling out, can they never be as close again. “It’s okay to have a different kind of friendship.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E442 Ask Nick - Am I A F*ckgirl?
01:01:28
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Welcome listeners, and join us as we take on your burning questions to help you navigate through the world of relationships. Our first caller currently lives in a semi long distance relationship as her boyfriend works at sea. But with her boyfriend already moving internationally to be with her, she wonders if it would be smart to move again to another country and if the foundation of their relationship could take another jump. Our next caller describes that she is currently going through the fallout of a breakup, wanting to move on without going through a fuckboy era. Now Nick talks to our caller about how everyone participating in hookup culture is in a way, a fuckboy, and how everyone deals with a breakup differently. Our last caller has trouble deciding between two guys, especially when one of these situationships ended because of a tragedy of no fault of her own. Now our caller learns that she may be creating stories in her head based on limited information, and needs to think internally about what she really wants from a guy. “Some of our best stories from the past are where we felt the most discomfort in the present.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition!

Now, she wonders if moving to a major city and upping the age range on her dating apps will give her more chances to find love. Our next caller has recently moved and struggles to find friendships in her new city. Now wondering how to deal with something so common, she learns that it might be okay to admit that you’re lonely. After that, our caller has a sticky situation where he can’t tell if his guy best friend may have feelings that extend beyond friendship. After his friend breaks up with his girlfriend, our caller has trouble telling if advances like an armpit tickle could be curiosity or strictly platonic. Our last caller wonders if he should start back up a relationship from the past year after exploring his options more. Now he wonders if this past relationship is worth pursuing and if he’s just been wasting his time looking for the perfect option instead of recognizing what is in front of him. “What you’re doing isn’t going to get you what you want!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

VIGILANTE IS AVAILABLE NOW!
05:26
Tim Miller is a famous search-and-rescuer in Dickinson, Texas, who's helped track down more than 300 missing persons. After 38 years of searching, he’s now convinced that he’s finally solved his own daughter’s murder. In the first season of VIGILANTE, Allie Conti (New York Times, Vice) explores the human cost of Tim’s singular obsession with the case—from the people he’s falsely accused in the past, to the current girlfriend he’s put in the crosshairs of a possible serial killer. As Allie prepares to interview the suspect in person, she grapples with whether she might be the latest victim of Tim’s vigilantism.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive into our first caller’s situation where she, for no particular reason, is still a virgin. Now wanting to lose it with her boyfriend, she worries when her boyfriend struggles to perform because of the built up pressure. Does the first time still have to be special? And how can they make the first time memorable but also fun? Our next caller struggles when her guy gets a promotion at work. With his new role and responsibilities, he’s become consumed by stress, having it seep into every aspect of their lives. Now she feels confused when it seems that everything was perfect until he got stressed. Our last caller is living with Herpes and feels comfortable explaining her situation to dates and is equipped with the proper talking points. However, our caller feels that when her dates understand, that a power dynamic is created. How can our caller balance being selective while having to explain living with Herpes to her dates? “Just because this relationship was better, doesn’t mean you lost the one.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E406 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Pays Me Salary
01:21:29
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive into our first caller’s situation where a church guy she met comes on super strong, then pulls away. From his weird pickup lines asking if she wanted cat food, to his drug use, to him being a 32 year old virgin, his aura of mystery only likely serves to hurt. Our next caller can’t stop hooking up with and seeing a guy she knows is toxic for her. From changing his contact name on her phone to an STD, she can’t seem to stop herself from seeing a guy she knows isn’t good for her. She asks for help with putting her foot down and moving on. Our last caller struggles with what to do after her military boyfriend got orders to move to another state, meaning she would have to pack up her life where she lives now to continue to live with him. Now, she wonders what to do considering she would have to put a stop on her career, and if an unconventional solution like having him pay her a “Girlfriend Tax” may get her what she needs to make the jump and move. “I got hooked on the potential of where it could go.” Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Cindy Eckert, the billionaire behind the creation of “female Viagra” known as Addyi.

Our next caller struggles when her online friendship formed over quarantine becomes cold. She wonders if a third friend could be the reason for this sudden shift, and how to navigate people valuing online friendships at different levels. Our last caller figures out how to define the difference between a boundary and an ultimatum when thinking of the big picture with her current partner.
