The Viall Files

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, Nick got some insider information on Taylor and Travis - did Travis ask Scott for his blessing? Did he buy her a 100k ring? Did he throw her a no-expense-spared birthday party? Then today, we are joined by Rachel Lindsay to talk about her decision to leave Extra, her marriage with Bryan, how 2023 has treated her and what she’s looking forward to in 2024. We also dive into various Housewives franchises and get some insider information from Rachel, who moderated several panels at Bravocon this year. Then, we get her opinions on Vanderpump Rules, Scandoval, and Tom and Ariana’s living situation. Finally, we have a Texting Office Hours caller who met a guy at a party, got his number from a friend, and now isn’t sure how to ask him out.  “As Kris Jenner says, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.”  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! We’re back to answer your burning questions about the world of dating and relationships. Before getting to our callers, we read an email from a listener who recently had a gender reveal/surprise wedding, only to have her husband party the night away and not come to bed with her. Then, we get to our callers.  Our first caller’s husband would rather spend time with deer than her. She’s only seen him twice in the last month, and is wondering whether their marriage is salvageable, or whether she should call it quits. Our second caller is wondering whether she should stop waiting for her long-distance situationship to ask her out, and just do it herself. She’s tried to get him to commit before, but he used distance as an excuse, so she’s unsure how to convince him to give them a shot despite the commute. Our final caller’s parents want her to break up with her boyfriend once she graduates college, but she’s not sure if she should. It’s the healthiest relationship she’s been in, but he’s not as driven as her, so she’s trying to decide what is more important in a relationship.  “The more confident you sound, the more he’ll be scared he can’t live without you.”  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: BetterHelp - In the season of giving, give yourself what YOU need – with BetterHelp.

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 then get to our callers.  Our first caller has feelings for a friend who’s currently in a relationship, plus she’s not sure if she’s even into women. This friend often flirts with our caller, to the point where their other friends have noticed as well, and vents about her rocky relationship. She’s unsure whether or not to confess these feelings, and how they would be received. Our second caller’s boyfriend won’t eat her out, and it’s ruining their relationship. She’s wondering how to stress to him this is something she needs in a relationship, or if this is a justifiable reason to move on. Our final caller is seeing her long-distance situationship this weekend, and is debating giving him an ultimatum. Her apartment lease is up soon, and she’s been thinking about moving to the city he lives in, but only if he’s willing to commit to her fully.  “It’s not wrong for you to want to be satisfied in your relationship.”  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 on Office Hours 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: Chomps - Chomps is offering our listeners 20% off your first order and free shipping when you go to https://www.Chomps.com/VIALL.

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, the infamous “Debbie,” who had originally called in regarding a strange text from a romantic interest, but has since started to date women and found herself pursuing drama instead of good partners. When we left off with her, she had begun to date someone new and seemed to be displaying healthy dating habits, but has she fallen back into her old ways? Our second caller had called in after a third attempt at a father figure had failed. Her stepfather had caused an immense amount of financial stress on her family, so we find out where their relationship is at now. Our third caller’s father had destroyed their family by dating the woman he was interested in. We find out if his relationship with his father has mended at all, and where he is in his own dating journey.  We also have some written updates - Our caller who was catching feelings for her prison pen pal, our caller who was trying to figure out if her guy friend is into her, and our caller who was debating tattling on her ex to his mom about his cheating in order to get him off her lease.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 646 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 12, 630 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 11, 575 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 7, (First appeared on 545 Francesca Farago - Likable Villain Gone Bad) Episode Number: 617 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 10 (First appeared on 566 Ask Nick - My BFF Flirts With My Husband Episode Number: 604 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 9 (First appearance on 579 Ask Nick - My Dad Stole My Girlfriend)   Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 624 Ask Nick - Falling For My Prison Penpal Episode Number: 663 Ask Nick - Should We Get Married for a Visa?
