E327 Bachelor In Paradise Recap With Manny Gutierrez

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! 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. But wait… first we bring back our Thirst Trap segment: Coachella Edition! Our first caller originally called in because her parents diagnosed their adolescent son every time they saw him. This time she calls in with her husband and sets new boundaries on whether he has the right to intervene. Our second caller first called in because she wanted to send her husband noodz. After healthy discussions, new boundaries, and her new planned escapades, their relationship is better than ever. Our third caller is an OG. She originally called in questioning if moving to a new country for her boyfriend was a good idea. As her second update, she has now moved and updates us on how it’s affected her relationship. We also have some written updates - Our caller who fell in love with her prison pen pal, and our caller who no longer found her boyfriend physically attractive.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, the household gets together to talk about recent headlines - such as Nick and Natalie’s first Valentine’s Day together, Lala Kent’s sperm donor party, Rachel Leviss commenting on Tom Sandoval, Scheana working a shift at Chili’s, and Ally and James performing together.  Then, we talk to Alex Warren about his life - from losing his parents, to living in a car, being shot, meeting his now fiancée, and creating music. We also get to ask him about the Hype House era, and where he sees the future of TikTok influencers going.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Today Patti Stanger joins us to talk about her history of matchmaking and her new show with Nick! Then we get to her callers…  Our first caller has been having issues with her husband since having their first child. She feels disconnected and unloved, while her husband sees nothing wrong. Our second caller is worried that the guy she’s seeing might be gay. After no physical touch or initiation on his part, she has a gut feeling. Our final caller is wondering whether she should give her on-and-off situationship a shot? Timing has always been off in the past, but now she’s freshly single and questioning the what/if. “You got to pat yourself on the back, that you’re very strong.” 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: Hero Bread - Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.
