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.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, the household gets together to talk about some recent headlines, such as the Vanderpump Reunion Part 3, North West performing at The Hollywood Bowl, the trailer for Gypsy Rose’s show and her upcoming appearance on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, and the Summer House Reunion Trailer. Then, we talk to Emma Hernan about all things Selling Sunset, Selling The OC, her friendships with her castmates, the feud with Nicole, the mansion tax, her empanada company and more! We also ask about her dating and relationship history, and get some advice on buying homes and investing. We also have a Texting Office Hours caller who is struggling with a friendship breakup, and wasn’t sure if she should accept being phased out of her friend’s life, or fight for the relationship.  “Everyone wants to come for Chrishell to get their fifteen minutes.”  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.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Dr Orna Guralnik, from the hit show Couples Therapy, joins us to talk about the new season and her take on therapy in general. Then we get to our callers…  Our first caller called in because she and her husband disagree on the gender for their next embryo transfer. Her husband wants to guarantee a boy, but she is persistent in leaving it a surprise. Our second caller is nervous because her long-term boyfriend is meeting her Christian missionary parents for the first time. Our caller’s faith is still important to her, but she doesn’t want to disappoint her parents due to her boyfriend’s lack of religion. Our final caller is wondering how to tell her parents that she doesn’t want to have kids and that her husband is getting a vasectomy. She already feels bad about moving to another country, and previous attempts have not ended well. Season 4 of COUPLES THERAPY premieres May 31 on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. “There’s no tougher lesson for a parent, than their own kids demonstrating the right behavior when they’re not” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Altoids - Find Altoids in the check-out aisle.
