The Viall Files

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by actor, comedian, podcaster, and much more, Josh Peck! On this episode we dive deep with Josh and get into some burning questions. We talk about the balance between being opened and closed, how Josh's sponsor gives the realest advice, and pushing back against the "shitty committee" in your head. We then talk about blaming someone else for your mistakes, a fun game night gone wrong when unsavory words are introduced, and the two main reasons why people get canceled. We dive into the relationship between Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly asking if the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. We then bring on two Office Hours Text callers to give them some advice in their situationships. Our first caller deals with processing getting the "ick" and how to communicate with the guy she's seeing that she is no longer interested. Our second caller struggles when she crushes on her mom's hot Pickleball Coach. She wonders if she can make something happen when she takes a quick trip back to her hometown. "I can't help with the pretend."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition! Today we are joined by fan favorite, Cathy Kelley. We first dive into the breaking drama of Blake dropping Bachelor production secrets that he believes no one knows, talking about the Bachelor Official Podcasts and how he believes podcast hosts appearing on the beach get a special advantage. Blake brings in other members of Bachelor Nation and we debate the intentions behind him, bringing up something that many people already know. We then go to wedding news as we learned that the Bachelorette's JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers are married after 6 years of dating. We talk about the lead up, constantly changing the date, and their various wedding outfit changes. We also dive into some rumors about the next season of the Bachelorette, and how a cruise ship may be involved. We dive into Julia Fox's controversial text about how money and age determines who an abuser is. We then welcome an Office Hours Text caller who asks advice on how to navigate a situation when her crush says she needs time. We talk to her about how you shouldn't let someone on a test drive more than once. We also get an email from a caller wondering how she can get back her sex toys after a breakup. But after finding out that her ex cheated on her during their relationships, she wonders if she should just cut her losses. "If you're doing something to get a reaction from him, don't do it."

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive back into our callers' burning questions and help them navigate relationships, situationships, and everything in between. Our first caller struggles in dating with setting expectations and giving boys options she doesn't want them to have. After two years of being single, now she wants to learn to take initiative and control in the unpredictable world of casual dating. Our next call features a couple who is having a tough family situation, where one of the caller's sisters is struggling with addiction and coming to terms with next steps. Now the caller wonders how they can support her sister coming out about needing support to the entire family, without causing resentment or a rift. Our last caller struggles when she wonders what the limits of a long distance relationship can be, especially when kids are involved. Despite both being outsiders living in Thailand, her partner insists on having his own place a few hours away in the same country. Now, she wonders if she's been wasting 10 years of her life on a guy who will always be hesitant to make the next move and progress their relationship or if she's actually very accepting of her situation. "We can be convincing to ourselves in what we want when we think it'll get us something else."

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by TikToker and Comedian, Erika Priscilla, as well as her fiancé, Scott! On this episode we dive deep into the shocking reunion of Selling Sunset, where we react to the tears (real and fake), talking about how public breakups don't always need a public explanation, and when is it too soon to call someone the love of your life. We also get back into some Bachelor Drama and react to Tayshia's reaction to a social media comment, and talk about the pros and cons of reading what people have to say about you online. We then bring on two callers to our Office Hours segment! Our first caller struggles after a drunken hookup. Despite ending well, our caller wonders what to do after being left on read after sending a very direct and honest text. Our next caller wonders how to deal with a boy with very convenient excuses for being unavailable for dates. Now she's stuck debating if windsurfing is a viable excuse and maybe if her being too direct may have given this guy the ick. "The disrespect he gave is the closure."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition! Today we are joined by Natalie Joy to help us dive deep and tackle the latest on the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial, bringing on psychologist, Dr. Kirk Honda, as well as body language expert, Janine Driver. After recapping the emotional testimonies, the inconsistencies in the narratives, and the allegations of using drugs in the courtroom and posing for photos, we bring in the experts to answer all of your burning questions. We first bring on Dr. Kirk to get his reactions to what's happening in this case, how two doctors could land on different diagnoses, and what people should do when stuck in traumatic situations without access to therapy. After that we bring on Janine Driver who is a body language expert with a focus. She dives into how being theatrical can be part of your baseline, how the structure of a story can tell if you're lying or not, and the massive amount of damage to your credibility that happens when you decide to fake cry. We then recap the information that we've learned and talk about why people want to side with Amber, and how people should believe women, regardless of how this specific case ends. "Typically truthful people convey information, liars try to convince us."

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by power couple Clayton Echard and Susie Evans as they return to the Viall Files to talk about their journey since the Bachelor and to reflect on some recent drama that put Clayton in the middle of the spotlight on TikTok.

Then we dive into a TikTok drama where a girl accused Clayton of cheating on Susie with her, leading to Clayton and Susie learning about navigating a public relationship the hard way. Clayton then opens up to talk about struggling with body dysmorphia and how it's a major issue for a lot of guys that often is not talked about. We then ask Susie about her spicy pictures in their collage and the couples baby talk. We then bring on our friends Matt King and Patricia Flach for our first in-studio mediation where they talk about saying "I Love You" to someone you're not dating and setting boundaries you'll be willing to change down the line.
