Nick Viall
My name is Nick Viall and I host The Viall Files, a podcast that one anonymous reviewer called “surprisingly insightful and substantive.”
The Viall Files explores all things dating and love - from post-breakup healing to salacious texts - in our three (and sometimes four) weekly episodes.
Ask Nick - Every Monday, listeners navigating a challenging yet relatable interpersonal circumstance--from a 2 year situationship to a blowout fight with their mom to a friendship feud to reigniting intimacy after 10 years of marriage--call in for Nick's signature blunt yet compassionate advice. It's ripe with the type of hard truths your friends are too afraid to say, but you're better off for hearing.
Bachelor Recap - We break down this week's episode of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesdays. This color commentary is full of hot takes, debates, jokes, and the insider knowledge only a former Bachelor can provide. Nick, Ali and Amanda are joined by special celebrity guests--you'd be surprised how many of your favorite actors and comedians are closet bachelor fans.
Freestyle - On Tuesday during the Bachelor "off-season," we dive into the hot-button, zeitgeist topics--the latest celebrity drama, trending reality tv shows, new love song/music video that everyone's obsessed with, and occasionally a months-long highly publicized defamation trial between divorced A-list actors. Our lively discussions include takeaways we can all relate to.
We also have "Texting Office Hours," a segment where we help a caller craft, edit, and press the send button on a nerve-wracking message.
Going Deeper - Every Thursday, a special guest joins the show for a tell-all interview and to discuss their latest project, their philosophies on love and relationships, plus the most relevant pop culture topics. These episodes conclude with our beloved "Texting Office Hours " segment where Nick, the guest, and our co-hosts team up to give advice to a listener on a message they need help writing.
The Update Show - The last Friday of the month, by popular demand (and we mean POPULAR) cliffhangers are resolved and burning questions are answered with updates from our most engaging callers. These much-anticipated follow-ups reveal if the caller took Nick's advice and how everything transpired, providing much-needed resolution to the callers' stories that stole our hearts and attention.
E547 Ask Nick - My Best Friends Won’t Stop F*cking
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 feedback we got on a previous Ask Nick episode, and get our weekly Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller has two friends that can’t stop hooking up, and is worried that they’ll end up heartbroken or awkward at her upcoming wedding. Our next caller is having a sex stand off with her husband, and wishes he would put more effort into initiating intimacy or “wooing” her. We discuss how she can lead by example and open up these vulnerable conversations with him. Our final caller is wondering if she should blow up her life to move out of her family’s house. After moving home following a break up and putting all of her savings into retirement funds, should she risk it all for independence? “I don’t love that you’re considering taking a risk in a time of crisis.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E546 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 5
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.

E545 Francesca Farago: Likable Villain Gone Bad
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? We get all the answers. “There was a full storyline that wasn’t shown.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E543 Ask Nick - You Are Dick-ddicted
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E542 Raven Ross Tells All
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Love is Blind’s Raven Ross to get the truth about her relationship with SK and address all the questions and drama surrounding their rekindling, second proposal, cheating allegations, and break up. What didn’t we get to see between their season, the reunion, and after the altar? We dive into what details Raven knew and what she found out on the internet, if she’s been in contact with SK’s exes, and the last time she spoke with SK. We then have a special Ask Nick caller who gets Nick’s advice on being invited to a couple’s trip having just found out her best friend is cheating on her boyfriend. We wrap up with Raven and ask about early red flags with SK, and any parts of the relationship that she’s still processing. Finally, we have a bonus Texting Office Hours call with Raven about setting boundaries and communicating expectations early on in relationships. “You’re kind of being stalked. She’s obsessed with you as well.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E540 Ask Nick - My Mom Runs My Dating Apps
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by reality TV star Joey Zauzig. Before getting into the interview, we discuss Grammy performances and losses, and play F*ck, Marry, Kill with award shows. We then bring on Joey for his interview, where we dive into his current relationship and therapy journey, how he separates sex and intimacy, and how open relationships or threesomes can help you and your partner stay close. We also play a “Good Friend” game where we get to debate what a good friend would do in various situations - from missing their birthday dinner to finding out they’re cheating. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who needs to end a situationship after he continues to violate her boundaries. Joey puts on his relationship advice hat and reminds her that she deserves more! “Adele will touch your heart.

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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E537 Ask Nick - There’s No Medal For Staying Friends
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Before we dive into our interview, we discuss Tom Brady’s breaking news retirement and if Giselle should take him back, along with recent TikTok mascara drama. 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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E535 Bachelor Recap(ish) with Jim Jeffries
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E534 Ask Nick - Playing Long Distance Chicken
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. Is there something going on between them that our caller doesn’t know about? “If you get back together with him, it is 100% your fault.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E533 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 4
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.

The five women from the live show return to see Zach again, and Brianna is hoping to add a first impression rose from Zach to the one already in her hand. Who goes home before the rose ceremony, and what does the season trailer imply? We talk about it all. “There’s a bit of Wedding Crashers ‘don’t ever leave me because I’ll find you’ energy at the end.” Get your tickets to Brilliant Earth Valentine’s Day Soiree Hosted by Nick on 1/26: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/brilliant-earth-valentines-day-soiree-tickets-506419673877 If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E530 Ask Nick - F*cking My Friend’s Situationship
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

We discuss everything from when Natalie started dropping hints, to when Nick started ring shopping, to the run of show for the proposal.

Nick and Natalie laugh (and cry) about their relationship and a future together. And we wrap up the episode by talking to a caller who needs to uninvite relatives from wedding dress shopping. “She’s very nosy, which is frustrating.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E528 Bachelor Bios w/ Lisa Schwartz.
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Bios Edition! On this episode we sit down with Lisa Schwartz to discuss the contestant bios of Zach’s upcoming season of the Bachelor! Before getting into the bios, we talk about The Chainsmokers having threesomes with fans, along with discovering a new passion or career later in life. As always there’s more Bachelor Nation news, including Chris Harrison issuing an apology to Nick. 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. Finally, Nick makes a prediction about Zach ending up with an older woman! “Her special talent is sounding like a dolphin.

E527 Ask Nick - I Think My Parents Are Swingers
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E526 Going Deeper with Justin Baldoni Plus Prince Harry, The Menu, and Death
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: [email protected] 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 [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Before getting to the bios, we bring on True Crime expert, Keaton, to share some recently released information about the Idaho Murders, giving insights from the 18-page affidavit. We also get into some Bachelor Tea, reacting to Chris Harrison’s new podcast episodes, and a current contestant that hard-launched her divorce by announcing that she was going on this season of The Bachelor. We then dive into part one of the contestant bios! We talk about everyone describing themselves as a full package, if being picky about broccolini is a red flag, the pros and cons of teleportation, and Ali’s fear of fish.

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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E523 Going Deeper with Dr. Maya Shankar - Keeping New Year’s Resolutions With Science
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: [email protected] 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 [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E522 Freestyle with Heath Hussar - Nepo Babies, Breaking Bad Habits, and The Best Singers Of All Time
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: [email protected] 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 [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E521 Ask Nick - Flirting with a Questionable Character
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We want to wish you a very Happy New Year and say thank you for watching! On this show, we bring on our callers to give advice about the world of dating. Before getting to our callers, we dive into talking about being pickier on dating apps and testing the waters with a Facetime date. 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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Our first caller is debating if she should break off her engagement with her fiancé, despite having a child with him. 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
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

We also check-in with Susie, getting updates on how she’s been since her breakup with Clayton. We ask if she’s been getting any DMs, her becoming in tune with relationship advice, being there for an ex after a breakup, clearly communicating your expectations, and breaking down Susie’s past boyfriends and how it’s influenced her current approach to dating.

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
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Content Creator, Media Personality, and Entrepreneur, Serena Kerrigan! In this episode, we are diving deep and talking about how being on The Viall Files was on Serena’s bucket list, bringing a Regina George mentality to self-love, embracing that life is short, and getting called vicious on dates.

E509 Going Deeper with Katie Maloney - Divorce, Wearing The Pants, & Finding New Love
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E505 Ask Nick - You Don’t Need to be Happy for Them
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

On this episode, we bring on our first caller who is having trouble when her mom wants her to post about her pregnancy, while the caller wants to keep it private for the time being.

Our next caller is currently stuck in a situationship with a man 15 years older than her. 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. Our last caller feels like the other woman after finding out that the guy lost his last girlfriend in a car accident. 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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E499 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Eilise Guilfoyle
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we’re joined by comedian, actress, and TikToker, Eilise Guilfoyle and we return to paradise to break down the latest episode of this season of Bachelor In Paradise! On this episode we kick things off by getting into some Bachelor Nation Tea. We talk about Nick’s social media posts showing Greg and Victoria, react to the news that Gabby and Erich have broken up, and break down Dean’s proposal to Caelynn on a 22 mile dangerous hike. We then get into the episode itself! We start things off by breaking down the situation with Kate and her love triangle with Hayden and Logan. We talk about Kate using age and money as a reason to look for more, Hayden playing fetch, Kate’s romcom makeout with Logan in the rain, Logan’s secret weapon, and Kate’s stipulation with her rose she gives at the ceremony. We also talk about Aaron and Genevieve admitting they’re falling in love and our analysis on if they work tougher. We get into the love triangle between Eliza, Rodney, and Justin. We talk about the pressure of Rodney being the crowd favorite, making the right choice for yourself, the heartbreaking exit of Rodney, and Eliza’s journey to go after Justin. We also talk about who on paradise would make a good bachelor, Jacob’s graceful exit, Michael and Danielle’s crazy date with Wells, and our predictions of who will stick together. “Rodney seems amazing, but he’s safe” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E498 Ask Nick - Matchmaking Gone Wrong
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 them advice on their situations. We bring on our first caller who set up two friends on a date. After hearing feedback from one of her friends that the guy gave off a lot of icks, she wonders how she can tell her guy friend to improve himself as a dater. Next, we talk to someone who has a medical condition which makes sex painful. She wonders when is the best time to talk about it and how she can give the people she dates an ‘out’ if it’s a deal breaker. Our last caller wonders if she unintentionally put herself into the hookup zone. 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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.
