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.”

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.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by celebrity stylist and reality TV star Brad Goreski. Before getting into the interview, we discuss Paris Hilton’s baby news and surrogacy, along with Oscar nominations. We then bring on Brad for his interview, immediately addressing how the pandemic cost Brad and Nick their friendship and why Brad wasn’t invited to the engagement party. Brad discusses his own marriage and new show before letting us know what is in his shopping basket for 2023… and what belongs in a casket. We find Brad and Nick on WikiFeet and hear that Nick asked Brad to take his pants off at The Grove. We also bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who complained about her friend via text only to have that friend mistakenly read it. How should she address the situation?

“I’ll invite you to the bachelor party to strip for all of us.”

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We’re back to break down night one of Zach’s season, from the limo entrances to a meltdown at dawn. This week we’re joined by Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules, who gives us some Season 10 teases before jumping into the episode. Zach gets some advice from Sean Lowe before 30 women join him at the mansion, including Christina in a party bus and Mercedes walking a pig. 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.”

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.”

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Nick’s fiancée Natalie Joy for a special Engagement Episode. We discuss everything from when Natalie started dropping hints, to when Nick started ring shopping, to the run of show for the proposal. Their perfect night involved a fake event, hiring actors, flying in an event planner and vinyl designer, and even Tom Hanks finding out about 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.”

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. Well, I wouldn’t call that special.”

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.

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.”

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap: Bios Edition! Today we are joined by Elise Guilfoyle and Keaton Milbourne to dive into the contestant bios of Zach’s upcoming season of The Bachelor! 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. We also talk about how Cat seems like a reckless driver, and dive into collecting porcelain dolls. We also name our current faves from the first half and give our predictions of who will land in the top four! 

“I’m the full package!”
