The Viall Files

You have been asking for it so we decided to put it together… welcome to the first Ask Nick update episode. This week we go back and reconnect with some of the callers that we spoke with this past year to see where they ended up in their situationships. Some of our callers still needed some tough love but we were happy to hear Nick did not destroy anyone's life! Our Callers Original Stories: Episode 142 featured Catherine, who was in a relationship where her boyfriend decided to bring someone else in to make them a thruple and she was not confident in that decision. Steven was wondering why someone he had feelings for and connected with was starting to pull away from him and did not know if he should wait for her. Brittany wanted to open up her Mormon marriage on episode 134 because of the lack of sexual experience she and her husband had before getting married. Paulina wanted to open up the relationship with her younger boyfriend, who lacked experience, to try and have some control. She was trying to make sure he experienced other people and would not one day feel like he missed out on sexual experiences and leave her. Mackenzie was in episode 142 and she did not know she was being used by someone who was cheating on his girlfriend. Melissa spoke in episode 165 about how she really wanted to date her friend with benefits, however, he was sending mixed signals by offering to pay off her car, instead of showing interest in a relationship. Featured on episode 151, Stacy's mother had made some inappropriate racially insensitive remarks to her daughter about dating and she needed some advice on how to approach her about apologizing for her actions.

In this episode of The Viall Files, we are joined by Brendan Morais who stole not only the heart of our friend Justin Long but also, America. Nick finally has a chance to apologize for pronouncing his name wrong all season and to really take some time to get to know who Brendan is beyond his amazing turtlenecks. Brendan shares with us his thoughts on which of the guys he thought were there for love, what he would do if he & Tayshia and had more time, and what he would do if she ever called again. It's a fun episode filled with guest pop-ins and matchmaking for our last episode of 2020.

We start this episode of Ask Nick with a caller that has been friends with someone for 20 years and all this time later sees what she thinks is an opportunity for the friendship to be get to the next level, but is she really just Ted from Schitt's Creek? Second we speak with a woman who would love to have one last hookup at her bachelorette party and thinks her boyfriend should as well, however he is not happy about the scenario for either of them. Next we speak with someone who was just accepting what was being offered to her in a relationship for 2 years instead of asking for what she wanted fearing she would lose him. Finally we speak to someone who wants to know if she is just straight up dating a psychopath!

Kicking it off on this weeks episode of Ask Nick we speak to a woman who has been dating people younger than her because she doesn't like the feeling of inadequacy she gets when she dates someone older and likes the control she has with someone not so set in their ways. Next we speak to someone who's boyfriend thinks that her roommate is stepping over the boundaries of privacy in their relationship when he saw messages from another girl on his phone and told her. A 30 year age gap is our the next callers issue when it comes to the future and handling the judgment of people around them. Finally exes living together after a break up because of a financial situation are trying to find the best path forward in their new normal.

Today we are joined by one of the most talked about contestants on this season of The Bachelorette, Noah Erb. Love him or hate him we take some time to hear more about who Noah is, his family, being on the front lines of COVID, and how he really approaches his sex life which is the opposite of the party boy mentality people seem to place on him. We also get to hear about what we did not see when it came to Bennett, Tayshia thinking he wasn't ready for marriage, and his conversations with Ben & Spencer off camera.

Completing his "Viathalon" Justin Long joins us for this episode of the Viall Files where we will recap two nights of the Bachelorette. As a true member of Bach Nation Justin can not just focus on the episodes at hand he has to get in his thoughts on lie detectors, passive aggressive gifts, and math problems. As we have learned, when these two get together the conversation can go in any direction. Where does Justin fall in the Noah vs Bennett debate? Who makes his heart flutter? How many contestant impressions will he do? Nick & Justin, a duo you can't stop. "That is a f*$% ing hard thing to say, I don't like you, I don't like you enough, that is very difficult."

We have another extended version of Ask Nick for you this week as we are joined once again by the delightful, Justin Long. Will he tell one of our callers "he is just not that into you"? You will have to listen to find out so let's jump right into it. Our first caller is actively dating two people at once and thought that one would "fizzle" out but neither of them have. We then speak with someone who was dealing with the death of her father and needing the support of her boyfriend who was not showing up for her when she needed him most. Our next caller finds herself feeling constantly shamed by her boyfriend whenever things do not go according to HIS plan. A bigger dating issue comes up while chatting with someone who's original issue is that her boyfriend doesn't like it when she hangs out with her friends. Finally, a woman discovers her bi-sexuality when she realizes she has an attraction to her friend that she now is falling in love with and she is not sure how to tell her. " He is a hunk who never cultivated anything outside of his hunkiness" Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.
