The Viall Files

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap Edition! We are joined by Susie Evans to break down this week’s episode of The Bachelorette. We go through our four hometown dates–Who’s family did we love the most, which Uncle totally outshined all other family members, and if “That’s a good question,” is actually a kiss of death. We debate who we think will be her final rose pick and who will be the next Bachelor. We also discuss other reality television headlines and pop culture topics, such as Ariana Grande not being a girl’s girl, Taylor Swift’s seismic activity in Seattle, and if Travis Scott’s new song is shading Timothée Chalamet.  “I don’t think in the history of the show anyone’s parents made any difference.”  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 the surprisingly high percentage of doctors and nurses that cheat on their partners, and whether or not you should give up your seat on an airplane so families can sit together. We then read a written submission–Our writer is in a new relationship with a gentleman, a rarity for her after a string of toxic men. However, she recently ran into said toxic ex, and is worried she’ll fall back into old patterns and ruin things with her new guy by re-exploring her past. Then, we get to our callers.  Our first caller was ghosted three times by someone who conned her out of over $1,000, but she can’t stop thinking about what they could have been. This mutual friend, who she never actually met in person, convinced her to send him money to invest in stocks. After three years, she’s not sure if she’ll ever see that money, or him. Our second caller’s partner’s situational health issues have been affecting her attraction to him. She has been very patient, but doesn’t feel he’s putting as much effort into being his best self as she is into supporting him. She’s not sure on how to get through to him on this topic. Our final caller took back her boyfriend after he proposed to her when they were broken up, but is questioning her sanity now. She wants to end the relationship, again, but is worried about taking away a father figure for her children.  “You have created a fantasy in your head about this guy.”  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 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 pattern of dates ending abruptly after blowjobs. We advised her to take more time in order to get to know her dates before hooking up. She recently went on a first date, so we find out how it went and if she was able to be more selfish in the bedroom. Our second caller was interested in a girl who kept flaking. We learn if she’s taken our advice of leaning back and letting her reach out, and if their relationship has progressed beyond noncommittal texts. Our third caller was in love with two guys. She had an emotional connection with one and a sexual chemistry with the other. We find out if she’s still acting on her f boy tendencies or if she’s finally chosen a guy to commit to.  We also have some written updates - Our caller who had a failed third attempt at a father figure, our caller who wasn’t sure if it was a deal breaker that her hinge date was allergic to her dog, and our caller who was having trouble with her brother-in-law.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 582 Ask Nick - Blowjobs Are Ending My Dates Episode Number 578 Going Deeper - Vanderpump Finale, Prenups, Met Gala and Ronny Woo Episode Number 589 Ask Nick - My Husband Isn’t Empathetic   Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 566 Ask Nick - My BFF Flirts With My Husband Episode Number: 523 Going Deeper with Dr. Maya Shankar - Keeping New Year’s Resolutions With Science  Episode Number: 600 Going Deeper with Justin Long - Plus Wedding Updates, Harry & Meghan Drama and Bebe Rexha Trauma  “As inconvenient as people find boundaries, they find them equally as attractive.”  Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.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.

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 have an Ask Nick session with our very own, Addison, a part-time editor on the show. She is currently in a long-distance situationship, which is strictly forbidden for members on the show, so we learn about the relationship and offer advice on how to get what she wants.  Our first caller is concerned about her dating habit of getting into relationships with men who have girlfriends. After finding out for a second time that the guy she was seeing had a secret girlfriend, she seeks advice on how to stop this pattern that’s developing and how to spot red flags. Our second caller just got divorced and is contemplating taking a European vacation with a guy friend that has feelings for her. She’s wondering if this decision is unhinged considering her recent divorce. Our final caller found Mr. Right, but thinks he’s unattractive. She’s never met a guy who understands or treats her the way he does, but is worried his hairiness is something she can’t look past.   “It’s a lot easier to change how a guy dresses, than how he treats 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.  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 The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! At the beginning of the episode, we discuss current pop culture topics such as Olivia Rodrigo’s new song and “professional friends” in LA, along with Skims saving a woman’s life and what Matt Damon and his wife agreed on in couple’s therapy. We also ask if you would rather have your text messages shared online, or have an ex write a song about you.  Then, we are joined by Gina Kirschenheiter from The Real Housewives of Orange County to talk about this season’s drama, her relationships with her castmates, and how she is navigating her personal relationships with her partner and ex-husband. We dive into pop culture topics like Miranda Lambert stopping a show to selfie-shame, and Sofia Vergara’s divorce announcement. We also discuss Bebe Rexha posting screenshots of her boyfriends’ texts, and if that’s ever okay (during or after a relationship). We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who isn’t sure if her long term best friend is either protective or manipulative - she’s made some judgemental comments about her ex, the city she lives in, and the choices she’s making.  “Is Jenn a mid-40s Pick 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.

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 Jonah Hill situation and the trend of people weaponizing “therapy-speak” for their own benefit. We also get into a written Ask Nick topic where our caller talks about struggling to have a healthy relationship with her boyfriend’s family, with her partner putting pressure on her instead of stepping up. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is struggling to deal with her in-laws. After being with her now-husband for 9-years, she feels she knows his family incredibly well, and is frustrated that her father-in-law has been openly berating her. Our second caller’s boyfriend recently broke up with her over text, claiming he’s not ready for a real relationship. They said they’d check in throughout the summer and re-assess their relationship in a few months, and she’s wondering if she should wait around or move on. Our final caller’s long distance boyfriend recently told her he’s losing feelings for her. She still loves and respects him, but doesn’t feel as though she’s being made a priority and isn’t sure whether the relationship is salvageable after so much distance.  “All this energy you’re using thinking about him is energy you’re taking away from yourself.”  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 The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! At the beginning of the episode, we get an exciting update from Nick about how he was finally able to purchase the lake house that his grandfather built and give it back to his mom. Then, we are joined by Scott Evans to talk about his role in the upcoming Barbie movie, what filming was like, and his thoughts on Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and Will Ferrell. We also ask him about his current relationships with his boyfriend and his siblings - and get some great childhood stories about his brother Chris. We then have a Sweating the Wedding caller who isn’t sure if she should fire her bridesmaid after finding out she cheated on her brother - while the bride is pro-fire, her mother is adamantly against it.  “My crazy partying antics finally got me a job!”  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.
