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!"

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?"

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."

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."

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 relationships and situationships. We kick things off by hearing about Ali's unconventional travel hacks, an update from improv class, and Amanda revealing the break-up song of the week! After debating if it's worse to be cheated on or fallen out of love with, we bring on our callers. 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. Our last caller is wondering how to handle a situation where her best friend seems to disappear when her friend is dating someone. With her finding a hard time with their dynamic changing, our caller wonders how to salvage and transform friendship into something new.

"You're a better friend when you don't have a boyfriend."

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!"

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Freestyle Edition! Today we are joined by comedian, Fortune Feimster, to dive into the latest on Bachelor Nation Tea, Pop Culture News, and much more!

We then get into some Bachelor Tea, starting with Dean and Caelynn's second official proposal, Romeo and Kira breaking up despite not being much of a "thing prior, and the brand new announcement of Chris Harrison starting a podcast. We then dive into some pop culture news! We break down Britney Spears' NSFW post, Perez Hilton comments about Britney's mental health, and the sad passing of tWitch. We also get into the Kardashian lie detector test, Kourtney and Travis' over-the-top PDA, and talk about the world of superhero movies with recent news about The Rock and James Gunn. Lastly, we bring on our Texting Office Hours caller, where our caller wonders if she should slide into the DMs of a guy her sister thinks our caller should marry.

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.
