The Viall Files

Reality TV personality Teddi Mellencamp joins the podcast to discuss pop culture and reality TV. They talk about Rachel Leviss' controversial podcast with Bethenny Frankel, Scooter Braun being dropped by Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift's stalker, and Ariana Grande's new music. They also address a Texting Office Hours caller's struggle with boundary-setting as a new mom. The conversation delves into a range of topics, from reality TV feuds to the importance of authenticity and personal growth. They also touch on friendship dynamics and the impact of reality television.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap Edition! We are joined by Justin Glaze to break down the finale of The Bachelorette. We first speak with Justin and Natalie about current pop culture moments - such as Rachel’s three part interview with Bethenney Frankel, and Dax Shepard feeling financially anxious. We then dive into Charity’s finale - from sending Aaron B home to choosing Dotun to Joey as our new Bachelor (with an audience member joining his season). We finally ask Justin about his dating life and get to the bottom of why he’s single.   “I am not that easy.”  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 discuss August Birthdays (spoiler alert–two members of the Household have birthdays coming up), and if it’s simply too hot to have sex in the summer. We also read a submission from someone who is trying to have a “Sex Goddess Summer.” She wants to know how to toe the line between having casual sex, and not being treated like an object. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is engaged, but has changed her mind about having kids. Her fiance really wants children, but she’s worried she may not want them on his timeline, or at all. Our second caller is not ready to move in with her boyfriend. After only 6 months of dating, she’s worried moving in already would seem too soon to friends and family. Our final caller wants to save her parent’s marriage. Her father recently cheated on her mom, but refuses to talk about it, so our caller is wondering how to get through his emotional stonewalling and see if she can repair the damages to her family.  “Shame is a powerful tool.”  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.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

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 what your favorite color says about your love life. Are you a wonderful lover? Or emotionally detached? We dive into all the colors of the rainbow and more. We also read a submission from someone who’s boyfriend still hasn’t said “I love you” after three years of dating. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is catching feelings for her prison pen pal. After coming across his videos on TikTok, they’ve been messaging and video-chatting for months. She now has the opportunity to visit him in-person in jail, and is wondering if she should follow through or not. Our second caller is worried she’ll get back together with her revenge situationship. Her ex-husband is getting re-married soon, and it looks like everything is going right for him. She’s anxious her jealousy and loneliness will drive her back into the arms of her toxic ex, and is wondering how to overcome these feelings. Our final callers are getting married in a month, and just had their matron of honor and best man dump them. The dumping seemingly came out of nowhere, and they’re not sure if they’re the problem or not.  “Is this Drama Me or Healthy Me?”  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.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

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 Women’s World Cup, a woman who turned down an ice cream date for being the “bare-minimum,” and the deadly power of icks. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller has been dating someone for a month, and she’s worried she’s becoming emotionally abusive. She’s toeing the line between asking for what she wants and demanding unrealistic expectations, and isn’t sure what is too much. Our second caller is three months post break-up and is wondering whether he should reach out and fight for her. After his 8-year relationship ended, he’s not ready to give up, and wants to know if and how he can save what he’s lost. Our final caller’s best friend has been cheating on her boyfriend, and she’s not sure what to do. She loves her friend, and is worried about her friend group of enablers, but can’t stand by and watch her exhibit this toxic behavior.  “Just because you’re sad, doesn’t make them special.”  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.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.
