E287 The Bachelorette Recap with Natalie Joy
Today we recap the Bachelorette with Nick's one and only, Natalie Joy. Recording from Nick's childhood home in Wisconsin, they cover all of Natalie's hot takes on the season so far, Natalie's thoughts on Bach Nation from a newcomer's perspective, and this week's fairly drama-free episode. Together they dive into Blake's character arc thus far, why Andrew is perfect, Hunter (and his sinuses) emerging as a potential villain, and Greg's resting sad face. Nick also gets some insider details from Wells on Bach Ball, and they discuss why they appreciated Blakes response to Katie's sex-positive backstory. Oh, and did we mention we love Andrew? You won't want to miss this recap with these two. "This was a Hunter-percent a drama rose."

E286 Ask Nick - Stop Calling It Serial Dating
On today's episode of Ask Nick we first speak with a woman who is struggling with her husband's new jealousy when it comes to her co-workers of the opposite sex. Our second caller had a baby and her husband who originally wanted to have more than one child has since decided he would not like to have any more children. She still wants a bigger family and now doesn't know how to handle this without either of them feeling some resentment. Third, we chat with someone who finds someone she likes on apps, the dating is great, and then as soon as it is time to define the relationship, they flake. Finally, a woman is concerned about her sister-in-law getting married to the wrong person and doesn't know how to help open her eyes since he is basically the only guy she has ever known.

E285 Katie Thurston Gets Heartbroken
Today on The Viall Files we are joined by The Bachelorette herself, Katie Thurston. Katie shares with us what we didn't see when it came to Tre & Thomas and why she used the word "unkind" upon his exit. We find out more about Blake sliding into her DM's before coming on the show and who she thought the person coming in could be. Then Nick takes some time to get to know Katie a little bit more away from the show and we learn more about what makes this strong woman, strong.

E284 The Bachelorette Recap With Dave Holmes
Today we are recapping The Bachelorette with the one and only Dave Holmes. Nick and Dave break it all down from Thomas's exit, the mob mentality on the show, Andrew S's comments, and the return of Blake! We even take a look at some of the guys instagrams to see who is promoting their time on the show and perhaps is being a little contradictory from what they are saying on the show. Who do they really think was "ostrasicized" and "de-monsterized"? It's a recap you will not want to miss ahead of our interview with Katie herself tomorrow.

E283 Ask Nick - You're Manipulating Yourself Into Staying
On today's episode of Ask Nick we first speak with someone who has been with her boyfriend for 7 years. After having 2 kids together she wants to get married, but he is happy with the way things are. Second, we speak with someone who is in a good relationship, but after a year of dating he still does not want to meet her family or introduce her to his and says he is not ready for commitment. Third, we speak with someone who posted her view on a political issue and then got a text from her boyfriend that he was taking his stuff and leaving. Unfortunately, it turns out it's an 8 year toxic relationship with deeper wounds that need some serious help and healing. Finally, we chat with someone who is wondering how she can have more success dating because she may be writing people off too soon thinking there are red flags where there may not be.
