The Viall Files

The Viall Files

By Nick Viall

My name is Nick Viall and I host The Viall Files, a podcast that one anonymous reviewer called “surprisingly insightful and substantive.” The Viall Files explores all things dating and love - from post-breakup healing to salacious texts - in our three (and sometimes four) weekly episodes. Ask Nick - Every Monday, listeners navigating a challenging yet relatable interpersonal circumstance--from a 2 year situationship to a blowout fight with their mom to a friendship feud to reigniting intimacy after 10 years of marriage--call in for Nick's signature blunt yet compassionate advice. It's ripe with the type of hard truths your friends are too afraid to say, but you're better off for hearing. Bachelor Recap - We break down this week's episode of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesdays. This color commentary is full of hot takes, debates, jokes, and the insider knowledge only a former Bachelor can provide. Nick, Ali and Amanda are joined by special celebrity guests--you'd be surprised how many of your favorite actors and comedians are closet bachelor fans. Freestyle - On Tuesday during the Bachelor "off-season," we dive into the hot-button, zeitgeist topics--the latest celebrity drama, trending reality tv shows, new love song/music video that everyone's obsessed with, and occasionally a months-long highly publicized defamation trial between divorced A-list actors. Our lively discussions include takeaways we can all relate to. We also have "Texting Office Hours," a segment where we help a caller craft, edit, and press the send button on a nerve-wracking message. Going Deeper - Every Thursday, a special guest joins the show for a tell-all interview and to discuss their latest project, their philosophies on love and relationships, plus the most relevant pop culture topics. These episodes conclude with our beloved "Texting Office Hours " segment where Nick, the guest, and our co-hosts team up to give advice to a listener on a message they need help writing. The Update Show - The last Friday of the month, by popular demand (and we mean POPULAR) cliffhangers are resolved and burning questions are answered with updates from our most engaging callers. These much-anticipated follow-ups reveal if the caller took Nick's advice and how everything transpired, providing much-needed resolution to the callers' stories that stole our hearts and attention.

Ep744 Ask Nick - Our Bride is an Ego-Zilla

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off by playing a game of ‘Ditch it or Fix it’: Relationship Habits Edition. Our first caller is attending an expensive bachelorette party, and the bride is bragging that she doesn't have to pay for anything. Our caller no longer wants to go, but doesnt want to anger the bride and let the financial burden fall on the others. Our second caller hates her old job, but feels like her husband is not supportive of a career shift. She has a school and profession in mind, but his past marriage has made money a trigger for him… thus he’s resistant to helping her pay for it. Our final caller’s friend is having relationships with random men, with the specific intention to have a child. These men are unaware of that, and our caller wants to confront her with disapproval, but not come off as judgmental. “You’re anticipating how that conversation’s going to go, before you have it.” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Altoids - Find Altoids in the check-out aisle—grab your tin today.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off by introducing Nick to the ‘importance’ of technological etiquette in modern dating.

He’s told her interesting stories about his ‘friendship,’ and she continues to express her discomfort with their closeness. Our second caller recently reconnected with her biological father and his wife hates her. Although he’s welcoming of building a relationship, our caller is wondering if demanding respect from his family, as well, is acceptable. Our final caller has a cinco de mayo party coming up, and she’s afraid to invite her best friend due to his drinking problems. She’s had an intervention with him in the past, but she’s afraid that his new friend group has made him act differently.  “Make it hard for them to deny you, by how emotionally mature you are.” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Altoids - They're not just mints; they're curiously strong mints.

E734 Ask Nick - My Husband’s a Shopaholic

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Before we get to our callers, we talk about last week’s caller… A lot of you wanted to know our thoughts, and some of you even wrote in! Our first caller had her engagement party spoiled by her “best friend,” who proceeded to bail on said party. She is afraid to confront her friend over this blunder and reconsider her as a bridesmaid. Our second caller got dumped over a spicy encounter she had over two years ago, long before they met. She struggles to acknowledge his hypocrisy and worries about sharing her history with future partners. Our final caller finds herself in a financial bind because of her “shopaholic” husband. Should she consider surrogacy to pay off her extreme debt? Or should she help her husband get to the root of his spending problem? “Stop having important conversations via text.” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: BetterHelp - Learn to make time for what makes you happy, with BetterHelp.

E731 Ask Nick - Cheating Calendar

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Before we get to our callers, we talk about the toys we had when we were kids…  Our first caller is ‘dating’ a guy who’s in an open relationship with someone else. She’s afraid to ask him for commitment and is thus wondering if sleeping with his friend would be wrong. Our second caller lied to her boyfriend, and now he thinks everything she does is a lie. What was her initial lie and how should she rebuild his trust? Our final caller feels like she's parenting her fiance’s kids for her. Is this due to differentiating perspectives on parenting, or does her fiance need to step up? “Checking in should feel like consideration, not controlling” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Care/of - For 50% off your first Care/of subscription order, go to https://www.TakeCareOf.com and enter code viall50.

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. But wait… first we discuss controversial parenting tactics! Our first caller originally called in for Dr. Phil’s advice! Her partner was going to prison for his 3rd DUI, and she was wondering if she should break up with him. She has since found out that he was cheating on her, and has thus broken up. Our second caller had first called in because she caught her ex cheating through a security camera, and was having a hard time moving on. He is now married to his ex, and she is now in a much better place, mentally. Our third caller had originally called in because her mom wouldn’t accept her leaving the church. There have been conversations with her parents since, and there’s a new approach to setting boundaries. We also have some written updates - Our caller whose boyfriend cheated on her with his cousin, and our caller who didn't approve of her best friend's cheating escapades.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Before we get to our callers, we debate the criteria regarding thirst traps… and expose our own in the process.

E712 Ask Nick - He’s Ugly, But I Love Him

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. We start off by discussing the 50-part TikTok saga where @reesamteesa describes her scam-artist husband. Then we get to our callers…  Our first caller found out her boyfriend was on Bumble, using her address. He’s in the military and she’s willing to make it work. Our second caller and her boyfriend no longer have sex, and she feels like it's her fault. After multiple UTIs and no longer feeling h*rny she doesn’t know how to reignite their sex drive. Our final caller loves her boyfriend’s personality, but is questioning her physical attraction to him. Is this something that can develop overtime, or is it necessary during their initial dates? “You’re allowed to care what he does on the internet.” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles   THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:  Caraway - Visit https://www.Carawayhome.com/VIALL to take advantage of this limited-time offer for 10% off your next purchase.

Our second caller met his girlfriend on Twitter, and is struggling with their 800 mile long-distance relationship. She said she was fine with him dating other people, but he’s ready to commit to her. Our final caller has a boyfriend who struggles with alcohol, lashes out, and “doesn’t always find her attractive.” She doesn't know how to kick him out, because he lives in her house and can’t afford the rent.   “Embrace being the bad guy, but don’t feel bad about it.

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 read an email from a listener whose boyfriend cheated on her with a stripper. He’s done this with multiple girls, but is willing to ‘work on himself.’ What should she do? Then, we get to our callers… Our first caller isn’t sure whether her long term boyfriend is the one. After almost 3 years and his push to move forward… she’s no longer sure of the relationship. Our second caller’s friend accused her boyfriend of using her for her car. Without defending himself, he broke up with her on facetime and said ‘I’m not 100% going to be a boyfriend for you right now.’ Our final caller’s best friend confessed his love to her, right after she gave birth to her 3rd child. Her baby daddy is jealous of this friend, while she is intrigued by their chemistry.  “You are simply not appreciating what you have with him.”  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Squeezed.com - Get same-day local delivery or Free Fast delivery nationwide with code VIALL.

E690 Ask Nick - Teachers Gone Wild / My Cheating Past

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 read an email from a listener who plans to get married, but her future brother-in-law refuses to attend the ceremony because it’s not in a church.  Then, we get to our callers.  Our first caller hasn’t told her fiance that her last divorce was due to her own infidelity. She shares her guilt and is afraid he’ll leave her after she breaks the news. Our second caller has her first crush on another girl… and she happens to be her coworker. She’s dropped hints with little success and wants to know if she should make a move at their upcoming Christmas party. Our final caller has only been on 3 dates in 5 years.

E686 Ask Nick - His “Freedom,” Our Crying Child

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 read an email from a listener who’s ex-boyfriend, now situationship, introduces her to all of his family, but keeps putting their relationship on pause when things start getting serious. Then, we get to our callers.  Our first caller’s boyfriend will stay out longer when he’s by himself than when they go out together. She expresses her insecurities and experiences with the quality of their time together. Our second caller’s husband turned off his location during an argument, and is now refusing to turn it back on. She stays home with the kids for days, while he’s constantly at work and with friends late. Our final caller “feels like a single mom with a husband.” As a trucker, he loves the freedom of being on the road, but our caller has to constantly remind him of their crying child and what tasks to do around the house.  “The fact that he refuses to acknowledge that is not a me problem. It’s a him problem.”  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Squeezed.com - Get Same day local delivery or Free Fast delivery nationwide by going to http://www.Squeezed.com and using code VIALL.

E685 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 15

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 originally called in about a guy friend who was getting a little too close to be ‘just friends.’ Our caller sent a text, and we find out on this call whether he's gay or just friendly. Our second caller first called in because she broke up her engagement, but was missing her ex. We discover how she’s set her boundaries of needing full clarity, and his efforts to hold her back. Our third caller, who we’ve seen many times, first called in for giving too many blowjobs, with no pleasure in return. She updates us on trying to pursue genuine relationships over empty sexual interactions. Oh, and someone has a penis infection?! We also have some written updates - our caller whose boyfriend’s business was ruining her relationship, our caller who’s dating someone her sister had a threesome with, and our caller who’s friend wouldn't stop kissing her baby on the lips.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode 681: Ask Nick with Lewis Howes - She Slept With My Roommate Episode 669: Ask Nick - I Need to Stop a Wedding in 2 Weeks Episode 659: Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 13 (Original appearance on Episode 583 Vanderpump Recap with Gabby Windey)  Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode 666: Ask Nick - My Gay BFF Is in Love With Me Episode 646: Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 12 (Original appearance on Episode 640 Ask Nick - Everyone Caught Feelings During Threesome) Episode 629: Going Deeper w Teddi Mellencamp Plus Bethenny’s Cause, Scooter Braun’s Loss & Taylor Swift’s “Don't create situations just for the sake of it.”  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Quince - For free shipping and 365-day returns, go to https://www.quince.com/viall  Drizly - Download the Drizly app or go to https://www.drizly.com.

E684 Ask Nick - Bl*wjobs and Santa

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 read an email from a listener who’s wondering if she should confront the guy she’s dating over following a ton of naked girls.  Then, we get to our callers.  Our first caller’s landlord is cheating on her girlfriend, and our caller is wondering if she should tell her. For context, the landlord’s previous relationship broke up due to infidelity as well… but is it our caller’s place to step in? Our second caller hasn't found love nor dated anyone since coming out. He’s not into the hookup experiences of gay culture, and last dated a woman. Our final caller is looking for advice on how to return her ex’s things. This was a year long situationship, that ended when she saw him with another girl at the bar. She’s afraid he’ll beg for her back. “Sometimes breakups have to be black or white.”  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Chomps - With thousands of five-star reviews, snackers around the world have satisfied their hunger cravings with Chomps.

E681 Ask Nick with Lewis Howes - She Slept With My Roommate

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! And this is a special one… Lewis Howes, the OG Podcaster, joins the household in answering your burning questions. Dating, relationships, exes… All of it. Before getting to our callers, we dive deep into Lewis’ journey from living in New York, moving to LA for a girl, healing through therapy, and conquering 10 years of podcasting. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s friend is a ‘straight’ man who drives hours to stay with him, buys sentimental gifts, and sends him heart-eye emojis. He’s not sure if this friend is merely affectionate, or if he’s hinting at a romantic chemistry. Should he risk asking for clarity, for the potential of losing this connection. Our second caller is a mom and daughter duo. The daughter calls in to help decide if her mom’s 4 year partner is losing interest, or if he has become a red flag. For example, he doesn’t trust her mom, and thinks she's being flirty with other men. Our final caller is struggling to move on from his ex, who cheated on him TWICE. After cheating on him with his roommate, moving in with him into a new apartment, she then cheats on him again, with a classmate. Our caller is unsure how to mentally move on and reclaim control over his personal living space. “When people want to be with you, they choose you fully. They create space in their life.”  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Zocdoc - Go https://www.zocdoc.com/VIALL and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

E678 Ask Nick - My Husband Loves Deer More Than Me

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 read an email from a listener who recently had a gender reveal/surprise wedding, only to have her husband party the night away and not come to bed with her. Then, we get to our callers.  Our first caller’s husband would rather spend time with deer than her. She’s only seen him twice in the last month, and is wondering whether their marriage is salvageable, or whether she should call it quits. Our second caller is wondering whether she should stop waiting for her long-distance situationship to ask her out, and just do it herself. She’s tried to get him to commit before, but he used distance as an excuse, so she’s unsure how to convince him to give them a shot despite the commute. Our final caller’s parents want her to break up with her boyfriend once she graduates college, but she’s not sure if she should. It’s the healthiest relationship she’s been in, but he’s not as driven as her, so she’s trying to decide what is more important in a relationship.  “The more confident you sound, the more he’ll be scared he can’t live without 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: https://www.viallfiles.com  If you would like to get some texting advice, send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: BetterHelp - In the season of giving, give yourself what YOU need – with BetterHelp.

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, the infamous “Debbie,” who had originally called in regarding a strange text from a romantic interest, but has since started to date women and found herself pursuing drama instead of good partners. When we left off with her, she had begun to date someone new and seemed to be displaying healthy dating habits, but has she fallen back into her old ways? Our second caller had called in after a third attempt at a father figure had failed. Her stepfather had caused an immense amount of financial stress on her family, so we find out where their relationship is at now. Our third caller’s father had destroyed their family by dating the woman he was interested in. We find out if his relationship with his father has mended at all, and where he is in his own dating journey.  We also have some written updates - Our caller who was catching feelings for her prison pen pal, our caller who was trying to figure out if her guy friend is into her, and our caller who was debating tattling on her ex to his mom about his cheating in order to get him off her lease.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 646 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 12, 630 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 11, 575 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 7, (First appeared on 545 Francesca Farago - Likable Villain Gone Bad) Episode Number: 617 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 10 (First appeared on 566 Ask Nick - My BFF Flirts With My Husband Episode Number: 604 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 9 (First appearance on 579 Ask Nick - My Dad Stole My Girlfriend)   Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 624 Ask Nick - Falling For My Prison Penpal Episode Number: 663 Ask Nick - Should We Get Married for a Visa?

E671 Ask Nick - Should I End My Marriage?

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 disenfranchised men and whether or not there’s a divide between young men and women in modern dating? We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is wondering whether a lot of little things add up to a non-negotiable, or is that Girl Math, because she’s considering ending her marriage. She’s not sure whether her grievances with her husband are pet-peeves or a deeper underlying issue in their relationship, and wants to know if it’s a marriage worth fighting for. Our second caller wants to get back together with the love of her life, but he’s currently dating the girl her ex cheated on her with. They broke up because of infidelity on her part, but she feels she’s worked on herself and is ready to start fresh with him. However, is it too late? Our final caller is wondering whether she should shoot her shot with a guy who has a boyfriend. She initially met him at a time when she was in a relationship, but remembers having instant chemistry with him. She’s now single, and wondering if she should reconnect with him, despite his relationship status.  “You can’t base the rest of your life on someone’s potential.”  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.

E669 Ask Nick - I Need to Stop a Wedding in 2 Weeks

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 whether or not Nick and Natalie would/should have a choreographed first dance at their wedding, and what their first song will be. We also read a submission from someone who is wondering if it’s bad to never fight in relationships. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller recently broke off her engagement, but now wants to make it work. She ended things because she wasn’t ready to get married yet, despite pushing for the engagement, but wants to know if her relationship is even worth saving. Our second caller’s mom can’t stop getting ghosted. She’s been divorced for about a year and wants to be in a committed relationship again, but every man she talks with online eventually ghosts her when she tries to make plans to meet in person. Our final caller needs to stop a wedding in two weeks. Her male friend is getting married soon, but he recently sent our caller inappropriate messages and she’s wondering whether she should tell his fiance and possibly stop the wedding.  “Rejection is just clarity that these men aren’t your 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.

E666 Ask Nick - My Gay BFF Is in Love With Me

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 check-in with Ali, who just moved back home to Minnesota. We also read a submission from a writer-iner who is married, but has a crush on her coworker. She’s been lacking a spark with her husband, and wants to know if there is any harm in an innocent crush to fill that void. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s gay best friend is in love with her. He’s been confessing his feelings to their friend group and it’s making her extremely uncomfortable. She’s not sure where these feelings are coming from, or how to address them. Our second caller worries her boyfriend’s job is ruining their relationship. Her boyfriend owns a business and dedicates practically all his time to that, leaving our caller to feel unwanted and unloved. He’s never reassured her that he wants to be with her long term, so she’s not sure why she’s sticking it out. Our final caller can’t move on from her situationship. This is their second time situationing, yet there has still been no progress to an actual relationship. She’s wondering if there’s any hope, or if not, how she can possibly let go. “The only way to save this is to break up with him.”  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.

E663 Ask Nick - Should We Get Married for a Visa?

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 jobs we missed out on and a restaurant’s policy on charging a surcharge for “bad parenting.” We also read a submission from a writer-iner who asked a friend to be a flower girl in her wedding. She’s having a small wedding party, and wanted to include her work friend and thought this would be a nice way to do so. However, the friend was aghast at the suggestion of being a 27-year old flower girl. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller wants to break up with her boyfriend, but hasn’t yet because she’s not sure how to handle the financial component. She’s currently unemployed as she studies for the BAR exam, so he pays for most aspects in her life, but she’s not sure if she can continue in the relationship despite this. Our second callers are wondering if they should continue their pattern of being unhinged, and get married. They’ve only been dating for a year and have already hit many relationship milestones, like moving in together and potentially buying a house. They’re wondering if they should hit the next milestone by getting married in order to obtain a Visa. Our final caller has a crush on her male friend, and is trying to figure out if he’s into her. Their mutual friend group is going on a trip soon, and they’ll be sharing a hotel room, and she wants to start putting out feelers if he might be interested in being more than friends. We help her craft an Instagram DM to send to him.  “This is a classic #BookTok scenario.”  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.

Our second caller might be overthinking her current situationship. She hasn’t dated in a while, and recently moved to a new city, where she’s been talking to someone, and can’t tell whether she’s holding onto the relationship because she’s lonely, or if it’s time to give it up. Our final caller recently moved in with her boyfriend and his newborn, and is struggling to make the relationship work. The mother of the child is making matters difficult for our caller, but her boyfriend doesn't seem to understand she’s struggling as well.  “Your time is not infinite.

E656 Ask Nick - The Man I Want to Marry Asked for a Break

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 long-debated and all-important question, can men and women be friends? We debate if they should act differently towards women that are in relationships? And, is kissing on the cheek as a greeting acceptable if they’re not European? We dive into it all. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s ex reaches out everytime his wife is pregnant, and she’s not sure why. She seeks our guidance on why he’s been reaching out during these pivotal moments, but we ask why she’s been responding. Our second caller is dating the man she wants to marry, but he just asked for a break. They recently got in a heated discussion over money, which resulted in him asking for a break, and she wants to know how to improve their communication so they can mend their relationship and get back together. Our final caller needs help asking out a guy she’s been talking to for six months. She’s scared of rejection, but tired of waiting for him to ask her out, so we help her craft a message.  “Make him feel safe.”  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.

E653 Ask Nick with Eli Rallo - My Situationship Wants Me to Take His Virginity

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. This week, we are joined by special guest Eli Rallo for relationship and dating advice. Before getting to our callers, Eli discusses her new book I Didn’t Know I Needed This, which outlines the lifespan of a relationship. She also shares her two favorite dating tips. We then get to our callers. Our first caller ran into an old friend at a wedding, and isn’t sure if she was reading his cues right, and should try and ask him out. We help her craft a message to send to him. Our second caller’s situationship/coworker asked her to take his virginity, and it went “horrifically.” She has feelings for him, and is wondering how to remedy the awkward situation, and make her feelings known to him. Our final caller’s girlfriend said “I love you” after only a few weeks of dating, and she didn’t say it back. This is her first healthy relationship, so she’s worried she won’t be sure when she’ll know she’s there.  “We love that for 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 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 bed-times and how many hours we need each night to not be crabby.

The relationship is going very well, and her friends and family love him, but she can’t help but feel like something’s missing. Our second caller’s boyfriend seems to be going through a quarter-life crisis, but she’s not sure if she’s the crisis. After 5 years together, he recently told her he’s not sure if he wants to get married, have children, or be in a relationship at all. She’s not sure if these sentiments are true, or if he’s just aging. Our final caller is wondering how to save his relationship after cheating. His girlfriend recently moved out, forcing him to return home across the country, so he’s wondering if he can salvage his relationship, and how.  “Relationships take f*cking work, man.”  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.

E647 Ask Nick - The Man I Want to Marry Never Wants to Get Married

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 talk Nick’s butt, Dave & Buster’s, and helicopter parents. We also read a submission from someone who wants to shoot their shot with their neighbor but isn’t sure what to do. We have an extremely in depth discussion on various tactics she could use. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is dating the man she wants to marry, who never wants to get married. As the child of parents who had a messy divorce, our caller’s partner doesn’t want to repeat mistakes, but our caller is certain marriage is something she needs in a long-term relationship. She’s not sure if one of them will compromise, or if she’ll have to walk away. Our second caller is wondering if she’s self sabotaging her relationship, or if he’s just not her person. She’s only been in this relationship for a month, but has known this person for 6 years, and feels that there is something off. She wants to know if she’s overthinking it, or if it’s something deeper. Our final caller is not sure whether she should make things work with the father of her child, or give up once and for all. She’s not able to support herself and would have to move back home if they broke up, but she doesn’t know if the relationship is salvageable.  “*Cough cough* Kevin Costner’s ex-wife.”  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.

E643 Ask Nick - Should I Leave My Husband For My First Love?

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 everyone’s favorite part of a wedding–the vows. We also read a submission from someone who has questions about casual dating etiquette. She has been seeing someone for five months, who’s recently started to send her “I miss you” texts. She’s unsure whether she should communicate her dating expectations, or whether that’d be too presumptuous. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s boyfriend is nice to everyone, but her. She’s unhappy in her relationship and how he treats her, but they share children together so she wants to know if the relationship is salvageable at all. Our second caller’s boyfriend recently broke up with her because he said he wasn’t attracted to her, but wants to make things work again. He’s offered to go to couples therapy with her, but she’s not confident if her ego can get past his words. Our final caller is trying to decide between her husband and her first love. She’s unhappy in her marriage, but has kept communication open with her first love, and isn’t sure if she wants to work on her marriage, or leave him to rekindle a past romance.  “If you don’t prioritize being connected and staying connected, you won’t.”  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.

E640 Ask Nick - Everyone Caught Feelings During Threesome

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 Adventures of Ali: Atlanta Edition, and read a submission from a writer-iner whose boyfriend wants his mom to move in with them two months before their baby is due. During her pregnancy, his mom has been invasive of her personal space, which she deeply wants to cherish before her baby is born. She is deeply against her staying with them, but can’t seem to get through to her boyfriend. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller needs help setting boundaries with her mom and her relationship. Her mother has been in a toxic on-and-off-again relationship, and shares constant unwanted reports with our caller. Our second caller was involved in a threesome where everyone caught feelings. She hooked up with her friend, and her friend’s f buddy, and now wants to confess her newfound feelings for the f buddy, but is worried about upsetting her friend, who has already confessed feelings for our caller. Our final caller is considering cutting off her boyfriend’s toxic family. After years of failed attempts to have a healthy relationship with them, she’s not sure if it’s past the point of boundary setting, or if she and her boyfriend need to cut ties for good.  “Being happy is better than being right.”  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.

E634 Ask Nick - My Cousin Is Hitting on Me

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 Birthday Party themes, what we love about Ali, and 5-year plans. We also read a submission from someone who can’t get past icks. Is it possible to move on from an ick? And what are icks, really? We then get to our callers.  Our first caller’s cousin has been hitting on her. Since becoming estranged from their family, he’s been messaging her on Facebook that he’s always been attracted to her and thinks they should date. However, recently he’s been making amends, and has been invited to a family wedding. She’s anxious to see him and unsure how to interact in person. Our second caller is considering getting back together with her ex. They dated for 3 years, and broke up 5 years ago, and is wondering if he’s changed enough to be able to start again but make it work this time. Our final caller is wondering how to stop being the girl before the girlfriend. She has fallen into a pattern where the men she’s in situationships with immediately jump into relationships right after her. She’s not sure whether it’s the men she’s choosing to invest in, or if she herself is just not ready for a relationship.  “You don’t fall into a situationship. You accept a situationship.”  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.

E631 Ask Nick - How Do We Give Up Our 6-Year Situationship

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 whether or not you ask waiters for their opinions on the menu, and parenting strategies in bringing up “the birds and the bees.” We also read a submission from someone who thinks she may want to be an F Boy. As a single divorced mother, her life is very fulfilled. Except for one thing–sex. She doesn’t want a relationship, and is wondering how to fulfill her sex life while still being a good parent. We then get to our callers.  Our first caller is moving in with her ex who won’t speak to her. In a few weeks, she’ll be studying abroad through her grad program, and living in a house with 20 other students, including her ex who hates her. Our second caller’s person left to find herself in London. Fresh off the devastating breakup from someone she dated for a year, and has known since they’ve been children, she’s unsure whether to keep the friendship in the hope of rekindling one day, or cutting off communication. Our final callers have been in a 6 year long-distance situationship and can’t seem to fully commit or break it off. He is currently in a relationship, but they plan to see each other this weekend. They don’t want to cross that line, but can’t seem to cut ties fully with each other.  “We have to prioritize the quality of someone wanting to be with us.”  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.

She calls in this time after reconnecting with her ex and realizing she may be addicted to drama.  We also have some written updates - Our caller whose boyfriend had an ex wife from hell, our caller who was turned off by her partner’s lack of ambition, and our caller who was debating firing the bridesmaid that cheated on her brother.

E627 Ask Nick - How to Save My Parent’s Marriage

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 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.

E618 Ask Nick - My Online Situationship Owes Me Thousands

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.

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 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.

E614 Ask Nick - I Only Date Guys With Girlfriends

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.

E613 Going Deeper with Gina Kirschenheiter - RHOC, Pick Me’s, and Professional Friends

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.

E611 Ask Nick - My Father-In-Law Berates Me

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.

E605 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Fakes His Orgasms

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 Goodnight Ettique between romantic partners. Should there be an expectation to receive and send a goodnight text? If so, at what stage in the relationship is that expectation established? We then share our Breakup Song of the Week.  Our first caller recently discovered her boyfriend flipped the script and has been faking his orgasms. She isn’t sure how to broach the topic without making him feel even more insecure. Our second caller can’t understand why she keeps getting ghosted by her close female friends. This self-proclaimed “guy’s girl” wants more female friendships, but can’t figure out why these women keep cutting her out of their lives. Our final caller can’t get over her dream guy - a 40-year old virgin who’s waiting for marriage but can’t seem to find the perfect woman to finally do it with.  “He’s a Christian trapped in a F*ck Boy’s body.”  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.

E604 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 9

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 whose father broke up their family to date the woman his son had been interested in. After speaking with his father, was he able to mend the relationship, or had far too much happened to be able to repair the damage? Our second caller was considering firing her maid of honor in her wedding after feeling like she wasn’t a priority. We find out if the MOH is still in the wedding and the status of their friendship. Our third caller was scared to break up with her boyfriend of nearly five years, since she knew he wouldn’t see it coming. There had been many existing problems in their relationship, with the culminating incident being that he didn’t want to go to a wedding with her where he wouldn’t know anyone, making her feel like she wasn’t fun enough to make his experience enjoyable. Did she finally have the courage to leave him? We also have some written updates - our caller who was trying to define her situationship, and our caller who was in love with her childhood best friend and wanted to know if he felt the same.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 579 Ask Nick - My Dad Stole My Girlfriend Episode Number 555 Going Deeper with Kristen Doute - Ariana’s Mouthpiece  Episode Number 592 Ask Nick - I Need To Stop My Soulmate’s Wedding  Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 601 Ask Nick - I’m Dating A Bad Kisser Episode Number 572 Ask Nick - Don’t F*ck With Betty / Chemistry vs. Comfort “At the end of the day, he ain’t coming to your kid’s baptism.”  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.

Before getting to our callers, we read an email about lifestyle compatibility - our writer lives a fast paced life in the city and has been talking with a guy who lives a much quieter life an hour away. Is that a red flag, or a way to balance each other out? We then get our Breakup Song of the Week submission.  Our first caller’s soulmate is marrying someone else, and she wants to speak now before the wedding. We end up drafting (and sending!) a long text message where she confesses her feelings and asks if he would consider trying things again. Our second caller wants to break up with her boyfriend of nearly five years, and he doesn’t see it coming. There have been problems throughout their relationship, including him not wanting to go to a wedding with her because he won’t know anyone there and she isn’t fun enough to make his experience enjoyable. Our final caller matched with her boss on Hinge and is interested in him, but isn’t sure what her next move should be. They bantered back and forth in the messages, but she was the last one to reach out.  “I don’t think you can go too hard here. You’re literally trying to break up an engagement.”  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.

E589 Ask Nick - My Husband Isn’t Empathetic

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 talk about our weekend field trip to Schwartz & Sandy’s, what we thought about it, and what the staff had to say!  Our first callers are a husband and wife that have different understandings of empathy. Holly wishes Will was more empathetic and could help with her emotions while running a business, but Will is hoping for more understanding that it doesn’t come naturally to him and he also has a very stressful job. Our second caller recently broke up with her long term boyfriend, only to have one of her guy friends shoot his shot. We analyze all of the signs to figure out if he’s being supportive or wanting more out of their friendship. Our final caller is in love with two men she’s dating - one of whom she has a deeper emotional connection with, the other with great chemistry in the bedroom. She’s been dating both of them for five months, and isn’t sure who to pursue fully.  “Guys can often act like a boyfriend, and not want to be a boyfriend.”  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 was grieving the loss of a 17 year relationship and unsure of how to move on from her childhood crush. We check in to see how she is feeling and if she’s followed Nick’s advice to stop referring to it as a 17 year relationship. Our second caller wanted to break up with her boyfriend but was financially dependent and living with him. Did she take Nick’s advice to swallow her pride, move back home, and dump him? Finally, we hear from our Texting Office Hours caller who has been updating us on her dating life ever since making out with a Tryst-seeking man at a basketball game. When she last updated us, she was trying to decide between a girl and a new guy she’d begun dating. We’ll find out if she is still seeing one, both or neither of them. We also have some written updates - our caller who was trying to escape her former situationship at the Crossfit gym, the Texting Office Hours caller hoping to reignite the laundry room meet cute, and a caller whose mom was considering getting a tattoo to memorialize her ex.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 563 Ask Nick - My Fiancé Paid for a SexBot Episode Number: 575 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 7 (First appearance: 545 Francesca Farago - Likable Villain Gone Bad) Episode Number:507 Ask Nick - Bad Sex, Good Connection  Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 537 Ask Nick - There’s No Medal For Staying Friends Episode Number: 565 Love is Blind Recap with Phoebe Robinson Episode Number: 516 Ask Nick - I Want a Tattoo to Memorialize My Ex “If I see him around I can say hello with confidence knowing I took my shot and it was incredibly well received.”  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.

E585 Ask Nick with Tinx - Romanticize Standing Up For Yourself

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 talk to Tinx about her new book “The Shift,” what inspired her to write it, and who she hopes reads it. We then read a listener’s email and give some advice about friendship.  Our first caller is addicted to her four year situationship - they met on Halloween only to end things around New Year’s, and have been repeating that same cycle three years running. She isn’t sure how to end it (and we’re not sure she wants to). Our second caller recently broke up with her boyfriend of four years, but has an upcoming trip to Tulum that’s too late to cancel. She hasn’t been able to find a friend to go with her, and is debating going with her ex anyways. Our final caller was ghosted by an amazing first date on the same week her dog died - she isn’t sure if she should reach out or how to move on from him, or what to do if he ever resurfaces.  “You’re not his mommy and you’re not his therapist.”  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.

E582 Ask Nick - Blowjobs Are Ending My Dates

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 talk about an engaged man in Vegas who was buying women drinks and potentially trying to cheat on his fiancée (a week before his wedding). We then read an email from a listener who isn’t sure if she can handle her ex moving in with her childhood friends.  Our first caller has a pattern of her dates “finishing” too soon. Recently, she’s had three separate instances of guys seeming like they’re into her and wanting to pursue her, only until they hook up and she’s left feeling unsatisfied and confused. We dive into a conversation about modern dating and hook up culture, and when is the right time to have sex with someone you’re dating. Our second caller has been dating her boyfriend for five years, but is worried that they’re too young to be getting married. There’s also been some issues surrounding trust in their relationship after his mistakes, but only she has started therapy because of it. Our final caller is fighting over childcare with her husband - they both work from home and could use some help, but he doesn’t want to reach out to his parents and instead insists that they should be doing everything themselves.  “You should expect very little from these guys.”  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.

E579 Ask Nick - My Dad Stole My Girlfriend

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 “icks” in relationships and if men have become more self-conscious about women having them. We then read a listener’s email who hooked up with a guy only to have him tell her that he is getting out of a long term relationship and isn’t sure he’s ready to move forward.  Our first caller went on a couple dates with a woman before his dad decided to pursue a relationship with her (and break up his marriage and family). He isn’t sure if he should reach out to his father and attempt to mend the relationship, or if too much has happened.

E575 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 7

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 was having a hard time separating herself from her CrossFit coach, who was also her former situationship. We check in to see if she’s been able to leave the gym and maintain boundaries with him. Our second caller made out with her friend’s coworker at a company outing, but received a long and formal text about how interested he was in having a “tryst” with her, causing her to question if she wanted to see him again. Finally, we get a second update from our caller that was interested in her neighbor that she went to a Harry Styles concert (and Europe) with. Has she had an honest conversation with him about her feelings, or are they continuing to hang out as “friends”? We also have some written updates - our caller who fell for her boss’ brother, and our other caller whose mom was running her dating apps. We hear where they’re at now after our advice.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: 537 Ask Nick - There’s No Medal For Staying Friends Episode Number: 545 Francesca Farago - Likable Villain Gone Bad Episode Number: 533 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 4  Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: 533 Ask Nick Updates Special Episode - Part 4 Episode Number: 540 Ask Nick - My Mom Runs My Dating Apps   “We don’t have time to dance around it.”  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.

We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission.  Our first caller is in an eight year relationship with her boyfriend, but knows that she’s a lesbian. She’s wondering if she should stick it out because of the child and house they share together, try an open relationship, or leave him and try to find a new life with a woman. Our second caller is going to a thousand person matchmaking event but is still hung up on her ex. They broke up for religious reasons, and shortly afterward he met someone new and is now engaged. We discuss how she can move on from that relationship in order to take advantage of this new opportunity. Our final caller is wondering how she can get over a one-sided break up with her long distance boyfriend who ghosted her and never spoke to her again. She’s sent texts and a physical letter, but has no idea what happened or why the relationship ended.  “That wasn’t fate or destiny, that was just a dumb coincidence.”  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.

E566 Ask Nick - My BFF Flirts With My Husband

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 talk about read receipts with romantic partners, and read an email from a listener who is harboring resentment toward her mom’s friend, who tried to set her up with a nurse while her mother was passing away. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission.  Our first caller has a best friend that is constantly flirting with her husband, both in front of her and when she’s not around. We discuss how she can put an end to the physical advances and commentary surrounding looks and attraction. Our second caller is wondering if she should forgive her father figure who lied to her family, split up with her mom, and is quickly dating someone new.

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 read an email from a listener who is having some sister drama before an upcoming wedding. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission, courtesy of Amanda’s personal vault. Our first caller took DNA tests with her sister only to find out that they don’t share the same dad. However, because her sister and her mother aren’t on speaking terms, it’s up to her to bring this to her mother and get answers. Our next caller is wondering if she should go on a date with a man who broke her heart ten years ago. Is it fate that they came back into each other’s lives, or is he just stringing her along? Our final caller is wondering if she should break up with her long term boyfriend because he might be a fuckboy. We discuss why he’s still in communication, and if fuckboys can ever really change.  “The ego isn’t always a bad thing.”  Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.comto 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.

E553 Ask Nick - The Grim Reaper of Dating

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 it means to be a “best friend” in your relationship, and if a romantic partner can ever be the same as a platonic bestie. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller wonders if she’s a fuckboy, because the guy she’s been seeing wants more commitment than she does. We dive deep if she doesn’t want a relationship right now, or if he just isn’t the right one for her. Our next caller has a very complicated issue, centering around the fact that his ex and his girlfriend’s ex are now dating each other… both parties have children, so the families are constantly involved with one another.

E550 Ask Nick - You’re Addicted to Missing Him

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 idea of finding the one vs. finally just “picking” someone to spend your life with. Our first caller is wondering if she should warn her ex-husband’s new fiancée about his tumultuous and emotionally abusive past, or if it’s better to watch from the sidelines. They share a son together, so she’s unable to detach completely. Our next caller is still crying over a breakup, 10 months after the fact. She has to figure out how to let go of the failed relationship and her self-pity. Our final caller had a Vegas birthday trip “from hell” that was ruined by one of her friends. Does she address the hurt she caused, and how is she supposed to act as Maid of Honor in her upcoming wedding? “You made promises that didn’t work out. That doesn’t make you a loser.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.

E539 Going Deeper with Joey Zauzig - Iced Coffee, Fake Friends, and Threesomes. Period.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by reality TV star Joey Zauzig. Before getting into the interview, we discuss Grammy performances and losses, and play F*ck, Marry, Kill with award shows. We then bring on Joey for his interview, where we dive into his current relationship and therapy journey, how he separates sex and intimacy, and how open relationships or threesomes can help you and your partner stay close. We also play a “Good Friend” game where we get to debate what a good friend would do in various situations - from missing their birthday dinner to finding out they’re cheating. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who needs to end a situationship after he continues to violate her boundaries. Joey puts on his relationship advice hat and reminds her that she deserves more!  “Adele will touch your heart. And push you into having a threesome.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.

E538 Bachelor Recap with Elizabeth Wagmeister

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We’re back with journalist and friend of show, Elizabeth Wagmeister, to discuss the third episode of Zach’s season. We start out by covering the week’s Bachelor Tea, including some headlines about Nick and why The Bachelor isn’t concerned with keeping up with Love is Blind. We dive into this week’s episode and discuss Kaity’s one on one sleepover date (what actually happened, and did they sleep in that tent?), the Bachelor Bowl 5, and Aly’s skydiving adventure. Also, the cocktail-turned-pool party, several women self-eliminating, and the shocking final rose given out. Why is Zach the ideal Bachelor, who will turn into the villain now that Christina is gone, and what can we expect when travel begins next week?  “Maybe ABC is putting the viewers’ money where their mouth is.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com 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.

E537 Ask Nick - There’s No Medal For Staying Friends

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 Amanda’s trip to Vegas, Ali matching with a British man on Hinge, and we Yay-SMR a listener who ended a 10 year long situationship. Finally, we have our most recent Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller is debating pursuing the woman her ex girlfriend cheated on her with. Do they have a connection, or is the instinct out of spite? Our next caller has a long distance boyfriend that has a lot of opinions and criticisms of the outfits she wears. We discuss that it might be less about the outfits, and more about a lack of trust in their relationship. Our final caller is debating how to handle running into her fitness coach now that their relationship has ended. Should she leave her gym, or try to muscle through?  “There’s no medal for being friends with someone you have feelings for.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com   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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 If you would like to get some texting advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Betterhelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Before we dive into our interview, we discuss Tom Brady’s breaking news retirement and if Giselle should take him back, along with recent TikTok mascara drama. Then, newlyweds Taylor and Tay Lautner join us to talk about relationships, dating, and marriage. Was it difficult for Tay to deal with Taylor’s famous exes? Who is better at avoiding online hate and reading comments? And which elements of their wedding do they regret? Finally, we end our episode with a Texting Office Hours caller whose ex ghosts her for 2-3 months at a time only to resurface with an expensive gift - most recently, sending her flowers on their anniversary despite not having seen each other in two years.  “Taylor, if you’re listening to this…”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com 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.

E535 Bachelor Recap(ish) with Jim Jeffries

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We’re back with comedian and friend of show, Jim Jeffries, to discuss the second episode of Zach’s season. Jim starts out by telling us just how boring this season’s been so far, and some ideas he has to spice it up - including getting his assistant Jack on an upcoming season of The Bachelorette and talking about how The Bachelor Australia stars three bachelors and a polyamorous contestant. We debate if early eliminations are a sign of no connection or no attraction, and if we liked Latto’s Big B*tch Energy contest. Was Tahzjuan there for good television time, or was she straight up mean? Jim creates his own sad story template to win over the lead’s heart, and gives Prince Harry and the royal family some notes on future diplomacy.  “Can I vote Holland back on? She would be good entertainment.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com 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.

E534 Ask Nick - Playing Long Distance Chicken

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 idea of making a dating shopping list - is it setting you up for failure by judging people too quickly, or does it reduce the amount of disheartening dates on your calendar? Our first caller just got out of a four year situationship with a “man child” she works with after he made her the bottom of his priority list. To make matters worse, he then had a public melt down - in the office. Our next caller is playing a game of moving chicken with her long distance boyfriend. He lives in their hometown and she’s been commuting back four hours on weekends to see him from her new city. She knows she won’t be happy if she moves back, and needs to figure out how to ask him to try out city life on a trial basis.Our final caller is wondering if her boyfriend’s friend is acting too much like his girlfriend, including buying him an expensive vintage jacket for Christmas. Is there something going on between them that our caller doesn’t know about? “If you get back together with him, it is 100% your fault.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 If you would like to get some texting advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles Episode Socials:@viallfiles @nickviall @alison.vandam @liffordthebigreddog

Has she listened to Nick’s advice and addressed the shift in dynamic head-on?

E530 Ask Nick - F*cking My Friend’s Situationship

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, Nick shares a friend’s dating story and how moving too quickly (and ignoring the advice of friends) can lead to a relationship ending. And we have our latest Break Up Song of the Week submission from Amanda before jumping into our callers. Our first caller is currently hooking up with her friend’s situationship, and thinks he wants to date her despite not wanting to commit to her friend. Do his actions prove that he’s ready for commitment? Our next caller was in an open relationship with her husband due to being long distance. However, he’s finally moved home and reestablished monogamy. But our caller is missing the days of sleeping with other people, and doesn’t know how to tell her husband. Our final caller is wondering if her boyfriend drinks too much. She’s addressed the situation before, but he’s lied to her about drinking and how much he’s drinking since their conversation. Can this issue be resolved, or will it only continue to get worse? “Lying to you wasn’t as important as having a drink.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 If you would like to get some texting advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Texting Office Hours” in the subject line!  To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/TheViallFiles THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Grammarly: Go to http://www.grammarly.com/tone to download and learn more about Grammarly Premium’s advanced tone suggestions.

E528 Bachelor Bios w/ Lisa Schwartz.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Bios Edition! On this episode we sit down with Lisa Schwartz to discuss the contestant bios of Zach’s upcoming season of the Bachelor! Before getting into the bios, we talk about The Chainsmokers having  threesomes with fans, along with discovering a new passion or career later in life. As always there’s more Bachelor Nation news, including Chris Harrison issuing an apology to Nick. In this week’s second half of the contestant bios, we realize that there seems to be an increase in nurses and future mothers in the group, and talk about how starting a foundation in your twenties might be a red flag. Finally, Nick makes a prediction about Zach ending up with an older woman!  “Her special talent is sounding like a dolphin.

E527 Ask Nick - I Think My Parents Are Swingers

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, Nick reveals his plans to propose to Natalie and how he’s going to pop the question! We also get the latest update from Amanda’s break-up song of the week and respond to some listener feedback regarding the recent advice given on an episode of Ask Nick. We then get into our callers! Our first caller has reason to suspect her parents are in a polyamorous relationship and she is wondering how to address it with them. While she respects their choices, she’s hoping to stop them from actively being bad at sneaking around behind her back when she visits. Our next caller met a DJ who goes through a cycle of hooking her in with intense messages but then ghosts her. With this trend repeating, our caller wonders how to uncloud her judgment. Our final caller feels her partner is being hypocritical and setting up double standards in the relationship and wants to know how she can get him to realize what he’s doing. While she fully trusts her partner having his ex in her life, her partner doesn’t bestow the same trust in our frustrated caller. Our caller worries about how they can progress their relationship when in reality, even after two years, he doesn’t fully trust her.  “Your ego is being a bad bouncer”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E526 Going Deeper with Justin Baldoni Plus Prince Harry, The Menu, and Death

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actor, director, producer, speaker, and entrepreneur, Justin Baldoni! Before getting into the interview, we break down Prince Harry’s 60 Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper and the aftermath of his appearance. We reflect on feeling empathy for Harry, worried if he’s opened too many cans of worms, donating to charity with money that isn’t yours, and acting out after repressing everything for years. We then break down the movie “The Menu” and get into the film’s depiction of death and debating if an afterlife exists. We then bring on Justin for his interview, talking about insecurity, interfacing with masculinity, learning from your father, and the importance of young boys learning emotional intelligence. We also talk about the difference between acceptance and accountability, writing about being enough, combatting the feeling of directionlessness, how men can truly be vulnerable, and raising a son with empathy in mind. We also bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who after learning that she was cheated on, takes extreme public measures. Recognizing she may have been toxic, our caller wonders how to best move forward from the situation. We then close by talking about what makes Nick and Justin cry.  “No one told me I was enough.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to our new email address asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: BetterHelp: If you want to live a more empowered life, therapy can get you there.

E524 Ask Nick - Meet-Cute on the Car Lot

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring on our callers and help them navigate the world of dating, relationships, and situationships! Before getting to our callers, Ali gives an update about meeting someone in her improv class, we talk about our upcoming new show, and we get into Amanda’s breakup song of the week! We then get into our callers! Our first caller is struggling with her boyfriend not doing a lot of the things she wants him to do, inside the bedroom and out. She wonders how to approach the subject of getting him to do more and if they may just not be compatible. Our next caller started dating her car salesman, worried that this may end up being a situationship waiting to happen. Our last caller wonders what to do after seeing that the guy she’s been dating for a month has received messages from his ex. Panicking and asking him to define the relationship afterwards, and him reacting poorly, she wonders if she was overreacting to a situation or if these are genuine red flags she should be worried about.  “He ghosted you on Christmas when you had plans?”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E523 Going Deeper with Dr. Maya Shankar - Keeping New Year’s Resolutions With Science

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by cognitive scientist and creator of A Slight Change In Plans, Dr. Maya Shankar. Before getting into the interview, we first get a quick update on GMA’s TJ and Amy’s relationship status, the recent info released about the Idaho murders, Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper getting banned from drinking on New Year’s Eve, and speculate on what they hope to learn from Anderson Cooper’s upcoming interview with Prince Harry. We then dig deep with Dr. Maya Shankar, talking about the best ways to set and hold yourself to New Year’s Resolutions. We talk about framing goals to be motivating and if it’s better to start something or quit something.. We also discuss the “empathy gap” between your present self and future self, and integrating slack into your goals. Dr. Shankar explains what she learned from having parents in a successful arranged marriage, the science of quitting, and why it’s important to tolerate boredom when structuring goals. We also talk about using novel experiences to break patterns in a relationship, and how “temptation funneling” can help you accomplish your goals. We then welcome our Texting Office Hours caller who recently matched with someone on Hinge who is extremely allergic to dogs. Our caller, having a dog herself, wonders if this is a dealbreaker or if she should try to give this guy a chance.  “How would a cognitive scientist write their wedding vows?”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to our new email address asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@theviallfiles.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Modern Fertility: Right now, Modern Fertility is offering our listeners $20 off the test when you go to http://www.ModernFertility.com/VIALL.  Episode Socials:  @viallfiles @nickviall @drmayashankar See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Freestyle Edition! Today we are joined by former Viner, YouTuber, podcaster, and entrepreneur, Heath Hussar. In our first recording of the new year, we start off with some Bachelor Tea, getting into Tyler Cameron and Kristin Cavalleri spending New Year’s Eve together, placing bets if they will become official or not, Michelle Young’s “leave no crumbs” comment, and talking about a reality TV crossover where Susie Evans called into a dating podcast that Cole from Love Is Blind Season 3 was a guest. We then end Bachelor Tea by talking about Rachel Lindsey expressing that she will not go on Chris Harrison’s new podcast, but that if Chris was willing to go on her podcast, she would be down to talk. We then get into talking about New Year's Resolutions, whether it’s easier to stop a bad habit than it is to start a new one, and how Heath quit smoking. We then get into the conversations around broadcasters drinking on air during the New Year's Eve shows, and then dive deep into the nepo baby discourse surrounding the release of the infamous New York Mag cover. We then discuss Celine Dion being left off of the Rolling Stones’ “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list, and share some airport stories before jumping into Texting Office Hours.

E521 Ask Nick - Flirting with a Questionable Character

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We want to wish you a very Happy New Year and say thank you for watching! On this show, we bring on our callers to give advice about the world of dating. Before getting to our callers, we dive into talking about being pickier on dating apps and testing the waters with a Facetime date. We then bring on our first caller, who after reconnecting with a past girlfriend, finds out that she’s already dating someone. Even after seeing red flags everywhere, knowing that she’s being suspicious, he still continues talking to her, wondering at this point if he should cut things off or not ask too many questions. Our next caller is wondering whether she should have her mom, who she is closest to, walk her down the aisle instead of her dad. Knowing that her dad can take things personally, she worries that she may be ending a relationship by going with her mom. Our last caller is wondering what to do after she finds old friends coming out of the woodwork after getting engaged. Now, our caller wonders how to deal with a friendship that’s changed and, while important, is no longer a priority.  “Spoiler alert: I think about you a lot.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E518 Harry and Meghan Recap with Chloe Bale Plus Royals Expert Michelle Tauber

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actress Chloe Bale as we recap the final three episodes of the Harry and Meghan Netflix series, finishing Volume Two! After catching up with Chloe about everything she has had going on in her life, we have Michelle Tauber, the senior editor overseeing Royals coverage at People, join the episode via Zoom. We dive into talking about how the tone felt different in this volume, Henry's trauma from the loss of Princess Diana, how the media scene compares to the paparazzi in LA, the theatrical language the royals use, King Charles’ thoughts on the situation, and the never complain and never explain mentality embedded in the royal family. We also get into having more empathy after this series, trying to fix family issues in the public eye, growing up being the “spare” of the family, conflicts in emotional intelligence, Meghan and Harry’s expectations of releasing a tell-all, and where we think things will go from here. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller, who is seeking help in getting dumped by her brother’s best friend. After feeling a hard time trusting this man in her interactions with him after the breakup, our caller wonders the best way to move on. “Never complain, never explain!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET on Amazon's Amp app. Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Total Wireless: Total by Verizon is available at http://www.TotalByVerizon.com and at retailers nationwide.

With an age-gap, him displaying f-boy tendencies, and some questionable texts, she wonders if he’s worth the pursuit. Our next caller recently got out of a two year relationship and wants to memorialize her ex by possibly getting a tattoo of his initials so that she never forgets how she felt while in the relationship. Our last caller is unhappy being stuck living with her boyfriend at her father’s house after feeling like a temporary situation may be permanent. Feeling like it’s an issue with his worth ethic, she wonders how long she should support her boyfriend’s ambitions to become a Twitch streamer, while her father actively disapproves of this man’s career choice.  “You’re already branded by your first love.”   If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E515 Harry and Meghan Recap with Tara Schuster

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by author, playwright, and entertainment executive, Tara Schuster! We start things off by talking about gratitude, dealing with your family over the holidays, AI-generated art, and if robots will take over the world. We then get into the recap itself, diving into the first volume of episodes, covering episodes one through three of Harry and Meghan! We get into the recap, talking about getting really invested because of this documentary and understanding why England cares so much about the crown. We talk about Harry being sensitive because of his mother, Harry addressing his past mistakes in a genuine way, discerning if some of Meghan’s statements are genuine or not, and analyzing Harry and Meghan’s first few dates. We get into wanting more dirt, questioning if you should profit off the brand of the Royal Family, and how this documentary compares to the Oprah interview. We then wonder why they’re making a tell all, the media’s focus on Meghan’s family, and getting into the situation with Meghan’s father. We also talk about being high character in a low character environment, trying to do good with the privilege you have, and working to heal your wounds. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who is struggling after getting ghosted by a friend of ten years over a small miscommunication. After recognizing this is a repeating pattern, she wonders the best way to establish a new system of communication in order to form a relationship that isn’t about trying to win. We then close by talking about Tara’s upcoming book! “We’re above this, but here’s the tea.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET on Amazon's Amp app. Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: BetterHelp: Learn more and save 10% off your first month at http://www.BetterHelp.com/VIALLFILES.

First, we start things off with some Bachelor Tea, diving into Nick and Johnny hanging out at the People’s Choice Awards, Gabby not outright shutting down her flirtatiousness with Vinny Guadagnino, why Nick thinks Peter and Kelley keeping their relationship more private is the right move, filming your wedding, and Tia Booth giving birth to her baby boy.

We also talk about Katie Holmes’ throwback denim and dress outfit, and also talk about people using AI to create profile pictures.

E513 Ask Nick - Blindsided Into Meeting Dad’s Mistress

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here once again, to bring on our callers and help them navigate the crazy world of dating. We start things off before our callers by talking about a romantic Hanukkah Party, if ranch is good, and how Amanda practiced woodworking as a child. First, we speak with someone who was blindsided into meeting her dad’s mistress at Thanksgiving and is wondering how to break a toxic cycle she has with her dad. Then, we speak with our caller whose sister is dating our caller’s old hookup from a few years ago. Now that he’s coming to family functions and causing tension between our caller and her current boyfriend, our caller wonders what to do. The more the story unfolds, the more our caller realizes it’s simply a matter of trust and jealousy and that she really needs to put her foot down. Finally, we speak with a caller who is in a nonsexual situationship with her roommate's brother. They’ve gone on a date, and really like each other, but he seems to have pulled back in their communication after having spoken with his sister. She’s wondering if how she is communicating with him is needy behavior and whether or not she’s already gotten the answer she thinks she’s looking for.  “It’s your job to trust me.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Vanderpump Rules star and artist, Katie Maloney, as we dig deep into the latest in her world, as well as the hottest pop culture topics. We start things off by getting into Katie’s divorce, navigating the holidays while single, feeling like you have to wear both the pants and dress in a relationship, wanting more alpha energy from a partner, and how the most exciting partner isn’t always the best one.

E505 Ask Nick - You Don’t Need to be Happy for Them

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back again to bring on our callers and help them navigate the world of dating. Before getting to our callers, the group talks about avoiding burnout, Ali shares about her first date, and Amanda announces this week’s break-up song, with a couple of honorable mentions in preparation for the upcoming Turkey Dump. We then get into it, welcoming our first caller, who is planning to visit a hook-up overseas. She wants to have fun and keep it casual while also getting to know the deal on if things will be moving to the next level. Is it worth having the awkward conversation and possibly ruining the vacation? Next, our next caller needs advice on how to get over a secret situationship from within her friend group that has recently ended, after the guy started dating his ex, who is still in this group. With nobody in the group knowing about the previous situationship, our caller wonders if she should feel pressured to keep the secret and how she can properly move on. Lastly, we speak with a caller who decided she wanted more from a guy she thought she was casually dating. When she told him she’d been dating other people but wanted to be exclusive with him, he responded by acting confused and not knowing if he wanted to commit or not. Is there such a thing as the right guy at the wrong time, or are they simply just not communicating expectations effectively?  “Is this helping me heal?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by YouTuber, podcast, and comedian, Jason Nash! On this episode we kick things off by wrapping up our recap of Love Is Blind Season 3, digging into the cuties scene. We then react to the breaking news of Pete Davidson dating Emily Ratajkowski and what we think of his dating life overall. We then welcome Jason himself to dive deep into his new podcast, how he got his start with YouTube, being a dad, navigating social media, and his biggest fear. We then have Kanika Batra, an influencer diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, call onto the show to give us an honest and transparent look into her life, dating, and what she wished women were better at doing. We then get into some pop culture news, talking about disappointment from Selena Gomez’s kidney donor, Chris Evans dating, and the Taylor Swift Mastermind TikTok trend. We then welcome our Texting Office Hours Callers to give them advice as they navigate the dating world. Our first caller is wondering how to deal with a guy breadcrumbing after it seems like things have fizzled out. She asks for advice on how to create some new sparks. Our next caller has been in a situationship for a few months and wonders how to get the guy to take it seriously. Now she must learn how to shoot her shot and state what she’s looking for.  “Love bomb, devalue, discard.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Brooklinen: Brooklinen’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale is only for a limited time, and the deals don’t get better.

E503 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Jake Miller

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! On this episode, we’re joined by singer, songwriter, and Bachelor Fan, Jake Miller, as we return to paradise to recap the latest of the love, the heartbreak, and the drama. On this episode, after talking about Jake’s proposal, we kick things off first by getting into some Bachelor Nation tea. We talk about Rachel entering the dating world again, and we also break down Jesse Palmer’s statements about the upcoming season, with Zach feeling like a throwback. We then get into recapping the two episodes themselves, starting off with the aftermath of Rodney’s emotional exit, Brandon’s questioning of love, and then breaking down Eliza’s trip to Baltimore to pursue Justin. We talk about how valid Justin’s statements are, if he would pursue Eliza after the show, and if he was just trying to win in the moment. We also talk about how everyone is talking about wanting to be picked this season, Mara’s explosive entrance, and Johnny opening up about his family problems. We dive more into Kate’s statements regarding Logan, what her requests for him to do more actually mean, and a surprise entrance by Gabby and Rachel to shake up some drama. We talk about if Kate actually needed to be “saved” from Logan, whether or not Genevieve and Aaron are truly compatible, and the drama behind the itch versus pain argument. We close out with the Sadie Hawkins Dance from Hell, with Jessenia trying to get closure from Andrew, Ency attempting to intervene in them talking, Andrew admitting his heart is still with Teddi, and the departure of Jessenia, Andrew, and Ency from the show. “If you’re not into her, just say it!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Total Wireless: Total by Verizon is available at http://www.TotalByVerizon.com and at retailers nationwide.

E502 Ask Nick - My Mom Leaked My Pregnancy

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back again to bring on our callers and give advice about dating and relationships. On this episode, we bring on our first caller who is having trouble when her mom wants her to post about her pregnancy, while the caller wants to keep it private for the time being. Our caller tries to get advice about the best way to communicate with her mother, and not succumb to the pressure of what her family wants. Our next caller is currently stuck in a situationship with a man 15 years older than her. Feeling like she’s more mature than this guy, she wonders how to communicate that he’s not capable of giving her what she wants in a relationship. Our last caller feels like the other woman after finding out that the guy lost his last girlfriend in a car accident. With this guy still calling his late girlfriend his girlfriend, our caller wonders how to help this man move through grief and if instead she should actually move on to let him mourn on his own terms.  “I just want to enjoy him for now.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we’re joined by the host of "What’s Poppin? With Davis!" and influencer, Davis Burleson. In this episode, we’re returning to paradise to catch up on all the latest drama and heartbreak happening on the beach! We first kick things off by diving into some Bachelor Nation Tea!

E495 Ask Nick - Do You Want a Project or Do You Want a Boyfriend?

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re back again to bring on our callers and help give them advice as they navigate relationships and situationships. We kick things off by catching up on “Dating with Ali” and discussing whether or not people have a favorite ex and if you have to call someone from a situationship an ex as well. We then bring on our callers! First, we talk with someone who recently ended a relationship of two years because her boyfriend never introduced her to his parents. With other situations where her boyfriend was never willing to be emotionally vulnerable, she wonders if there is a way to properly get closure and let him know that she still cares for him. Our next caller is struggling with her current girlfriend being super close friends with her ex-fiancée. Feeling that pet names aren’t typically platonic, our caller wonders how to clearly state her discomfort to her girlfriend, who seems offended that our caller has an issue with this friendship. Our last caller caught her boyfriend snapchatting tons of women on his phone. After our caller is directly messaged by a girl that supposedly slept with this man, our caller wonders how to move on from this situation.  “Don’t expect them to love you the way you want to be loved”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E494 Going Deeper - Love Is Blind Recap with Laura Rugetti

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by celebrity hairstylist, Laura Rugetti. We’re here to switch things up a bit and dive into recapping Season 3 of Love Is Blind, breaking down all the drama and crazy moments in this new season! Before breaking down Love Is Blind, we get into some pop culture news. We first remember Leslie Jordan and all he brought to the world, then we get the latest updates on James Corden’s feud with a NY restaurant, we then break down a mysterious IG post from Bridget Moynahan throwing shade to Tom Brady’s marriage. Then we get to the recap, debating if Love Is Blind feels more authentic than The Bachelor, Bartise flirting with Raven after meeting everyone else, and the men acting like they deserve a medal for dating someone they were immediately physically attracted to. Then we talk about the men being obsessed with ballerina dancers, the Andrew eyedrop controversy, and Raven refusing to eat in the style of SK’s family tradition. We also talk about Cole’s ‘I don’t like you when you’re mad’ comment, Brennon and Alexa bonding over having different upbringings, Zanab needing to have more confidence, Colleen seeming like she chases FBoys, the fight between Matt and Colleen, Bartiste fishing for compliments, and an intense conversation typically not aired on TV. We then bring on two texting office hour callers! Our first caller has trouble dealing with the fallout of a breakup with a FBoy, bringing a friend on with her to get advice from Nick on how to navigate moving on. After revealing an emotional letter she sent him, she learns to find the fun in dating again and how to approach dates from a positive mindset. We then bring on our second caller who wants to shoot her shot with a guy she went on one date with two years ago, now that she’s single. Now she has to decide if the most convenient option isn’t always the best.  “He only gives compliments to receive them back!” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Betterhelp: When you want to be a better problem solver, therapy can get you there.

E493 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Natasha Bure

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we’re going back to paradise by recapping this week’s episode with singer, songwriter, and actress, Natasha Bure. The group first discusses The Tea, covering Casey’s broken foot, the overall reaction to Tino’s interview, Sierra’s TikTok shade moment, and the difference between exploring a connection and leading someone on. They also cover Lace’s realness, whether you can only “leave” (or lead?) with your heart, the intimacy of touching someone’s head, and what Jacob possibly meant by having a “real romantic connection.” Nick gives his opinion on Danielle and Michael’s love language (aka napping), where one draws the line between dating and f*ckboy behavior, the power of being coy with your words, and how the group would react if they were forced to interact with someone who hated them without knowing them directly. They then close out with Victoria’s checklist conversation and predict who they think she might choose in the end.  “The pain doesn’t mean they were special” 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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Framebridge: Frame your photos or send someone the perfect gift today at http://www.Framebridge.com.

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we’re back to bring on our callers to help them through the crazy world of modern dating! Our first caller is interested in dating her ex’s best friend, after showing interest when talking at a bar.

Our next caller is on the verge of fully committing to a long distance relationship with a musician. With a lot of positive signs, our caller wonders if she can formulate a healthy long distance relationship while remembering that you can’t cheat a genuine connection with FaceTime.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Tino Franco to hear him tell us all about his experience on the last season of The Bachelorette and the devastating situation that led to heartbreak with Rachel. We kick things off with a bit of Pop Culture Hot Goss, talking about Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber being photographed together at the Academy Museum Gala, and reacting to the concept of surprise weddings, talking about Robert Kraft’s ceremony. We then welcome in Tino, to answer all of your burning questions after his AFR appearance and breakup with Rachel Recchia. Tino tells all as we check-in by asking how’s his heart, what made him fall in love with Rachel, and if he believes in the phrase “once a cheater, always a cheater.” We also get into how they handled the pressures of a public relationship, his thoughts on AFR, and what challenges began to arise in their love together. We then get into it by having Tino break down the incident, explain why he cheated, and talk about how he told Rachel. We talk about insecurity leading to desire, why Tino didn’t come clean sooner, and how Rachel reacted after hearing the full truth. We then get into the house confrontation, if Tino knew there would be cameras, and if Tino genuinely feels regret for cheating. We then talk about Tino being remorseful, what he’s done since the breakup, and how getting help with his mental health has been a huge step for him. After that, we tackle your burning questions about the ring conversation, what Tino’s purpose of the journal was, if Tino heard from Aven after AFR aired, and if Tino is still in love with Rachel.  “I let her down by having my insecurities run wild.” To Help Tino and Camp Ronald McDonald in their goal to emotionally support children with cancer and their families, consider donating at: https://one.bidpal.net/HEROESFORHEALING2022/browse/donation 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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Away Travel: Start your 100-day trial and shop the entire Away lineup of travel essentials, including their best-selling suitcases and bags at http://www.AwayTravel.com/viall Episode Socials:  @viallfiles @nickviall @tino.360 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E487 Going Deeper With Kit Keenan - F*ckBoy Dating, Plus Powercouples: Tom & Gisele/Adam & Behati

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by model, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and Bach Nation star, Kit Keenan. On this episode, we catch up with Kit and ask her about her dating life, the importance of setting expectations with communication, and how anyone in hookup culture can be guilty of becoming a f*ckboy. We also talk about how you can start a relationship knowing that it isn’t for forever, if it’s better to have a roster or one person when casually dating, and how your parent’s relationship can serve both as a standard and a pressure. We then get into some pop culture news, laying out the updates on the developing drama and divorce rumors between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, and dive into speculations of Adam Levine’s relationship dynamic with his wife, Behati, after he acknowledges the DMs but denies that he was having an affair. We then bring on our two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller wonders if she can lock in a date with a guy her aunt scouted out for her at a wedding. Never meeting this guy in real life, she wonders if she should be bold and take a chance with this man. Our next caller matched on a dating app with her first kiss and first boyfriend from 15 years ago. Focused on what their relationship used to be, she has to learn to ask better questions to understand how this guy has changed in the past 15 years from what she used to date. “Every fuckboy wants a family one day.” Please nominate us for People’s Choice Awards The Pop Podcast of 2022 by going to https://www.votepca.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2022 and typing in “The Viall Files” where you can nominate up to 25 times a day!  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Brooklinen: For everything you do in bed, check out http://www.Brooklinen.com today for their luxurious home and bedding essentials, and use Promo code VIALLFILES for $20 off plus free shipping on your purchase of $100 or more Betterhelp: When you want to be a better problem solver, therapy can get you there.

E486 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Bri Springs

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! We’re back with another episode, joined by Bri Springs of Bachelor Nation, to break down the latest episode of this season! We kick things off by getting into some Bach Nation Tea, breaking down the Justin and Kira drama where Justin called out Kira for not seeing her at Stagecoach, Kira’s clapback that they hangout, and breaking down Teddi’s post reflecting on her departure from this season, where she calls this environment cruel and one that crossed her boundaries. We then get into the episode itself, where we get into what could’ve made Teddi stay, Rodney and Justin’s risky pickup lines, Rodney and Lace having an unexpected romance, and Aaron acting like a baby instead of taking accountability. We also talk about Genevieve and Shanae acting like a group of mean girls towards Sally, the missed opportunity to make Brandon the next Bachelor, and Brandon’s authentic emotional approach to dating. We also talk about Sierra and Michael navigating what taking things slow means, how people can tell if you’re interested based on how you phrase things, and the real reason why more guys aren’t courting Brittany. We also talk about the guys being overly concerned about the edit they’ll get, knowing when it’s your turn to leave the show, and Peter having bad role models. We also talk about Jacob using humor as a mask, Ashley and Jared farting in bed, Casey doing nothing on the beach, and exploring who would go on the naked date.  “When you like someone, your wording is different.” Please nominate us for People’s Choice Awards The Pop Podcast of 2022 by going to https://www.votepca.com/pop-culture/the-pop-podcast-of-2022 and typing in “The Viall Files” where you can vote up to 25 times a day!  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.  To Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Chime: So start your credit journey with Chime.

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we’re here again to help you navigate through the crazy world of dating, relationships, and situationships, by taking your calls and answering your questions! We bring on our first caller who wonders if she should confess the feelings she’s developed for her brother’s best friend after flirting with him. Now that this guy says he no longer has a girlfriend, our caller wonders if it’s best to be direct, asking him out to get an answer to the question of if he’s actually interested in something more than a flirt. Our next caller joins and asks for advice about what to do after her best friend seems to have ghosted her. Struggling with what seems to be the death of a friendship, our caller wonders if she should reach out or just try to move on, finding a healthy new chapter in her life. Our last caller feels that she isn’t getting the emotional support she needs from her consistent monogamous friends with benefits she’s been seeing for over a year, with this guy giving very unsupportive and disengaged responses when our caller reveals that her mom is in the late stages of cancer. Feeling the desire to focus on her family and move on, she wonders if all jerks are replaceable.  “He ‘customer serviced’ you!”  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E484 Going Deeper With Jason Alabaster - Tells All, Try Guys Drama Plus Brad & Leo Dating Stories

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we have a very exciting episode where we welcome on Jason Alabaster from this last season of The Bachelorette! First off, we dive into some hot goss on all things pop culture, talking about Lil Nas X delaying a show because of stomach issues, the scandalous cheating situation involving Ned from The Try Guys, and Emily Ratajkowski hanging out with Brad Pitt after her recently getting cheated on by her ex. We also discuss sharing your streaming service logins and if you should kick your ex off your account if you catch them watching Game of Thrones. We then get deep with Jason, reflecting on his time on the last season of The Bachelorette! We check-in on how his heart is doing, what drove him to come on the show, and what made him initially interested in pursuing Gabby. Jason also talks about sitting by the fireplace instead of talking to people most of Night One, the pressure of potentially getting engaged to someone when you’ve talked for less than ten hours, and accidentally stepping on Gabby’s foot. We also see where Jason is at in the healing process, his reactions to comments that he led Gabby on, and breaking up in the Fantasy Suite. We then welcome on our two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller feels attracted to her physical therapist and felt inspired to call into the show after hearing about our other caller that shot her shot with her chiropractor. Now she wonders about the perfect date, where she can make it romantic, but can also have an escape plan to friendzone him if things don’t go well. We then bring on our next caller who left the possibility of being friends with her ex after they broke up. Now that her ex wants to reconnect, and with him sending over 100 long diary entry style text messages, our caller wonders if she bit off more than she could chew and the best way to move on from someone that has an unhealthy attachment to the hope of something more.  “We basically broke up in the fantasy suite.” 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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! We are here with another episode, this time kicking off the premiere of this season of Bachelor In Paradise! Today we are joined by Editor, Writer and Author, Jessica Radloff to break down the premiere, some extra thoughts from The Bachelorette Finale, as well as some exciting Bachelor Nation tea. Reacting to further ripples from the finale, we revisit some of the craziness after being told that Tino is focusing on his mental health.

E479 Ask Nick - Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring you another steamy episode where we bring on our callers to help answer their questions about navigating the dating world. In this special episode, we sent our callers an advanced copy of Nick’s book, “Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday”, in order to get their thoughts and to have them apply the stories and advice from the book to their current and future romantic relationships! We bring on our first caller who wonders how she could’ve not fed her ego by pursuing a situationship with a guy that had clear red flags and warning signs. We then bring on a caller who had a wonderful relationship with a guy, until she started asking questions about his female roommate. With the truth coming out that this roommate was actually his wife, our caller wonders how to survive the blast of this mess and move on. Our next caller feels like he would be an amazing partner but just hasn’t had successful relationships or many opportunities to show off the love he can give. He hopes that by enlisting the help of Nick’s book and his female friends, he can find out how to set his right foot forward in the dating world. Our next caller is in shock after her one and a half year long distance situationship gets ended randomly by the guy she’s dating. Surprised and unsure what to do, she reflects on the answers she got from Nick’s book. Our last caller is looking forward to re-entering the dating world after returning from being stationed somewhere else for the military. With new advice and an open mind, this caller looks forward to finding love. We let each caller talk about their situation, what they liked about the book, what they learned, and who they would recommend this read to! So let’s get into our callers and see what they have going on in the world of love! “You made me excited to get back into dating!” 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.  To Pre-Order Nick’s Book Go To: http://www.viallfiles.com Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Storyworth: Get to know your loved ones better and preserve those special moments forever with StoryWorth!

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we have a very exciting episode where we welcome on Harry Jowsey of Too Hot To Handle to get the exclusive tell all on his recent breakup with Georgia Hassarati. On this episode we kick things off by recapping the breakup, talking about how moving on is harder when it was an amicable breakup, going cold turkey on reaching out, and how to focus on your ex's best interests by letting them heal. We also get into setting goals with dating, manifesting dating your best friend, how your love language can change over time, and how being upfront about your expectations helps in the long term. We then get into some pop culture topics, recapping the Adam Levine cheating scandal, how people are too focused on getting clout, and the shocking revelations and breakups from Love is Blind’s After the Altar episode. We then welcome on our Texting Office Hours caller, where our caller struggles after she sees the guy she’s dating hanging out with her ex’s best friend. Knowing that the friend doesn’t like her, and feeling awkward on her next date with the guys she’s seeing, she worries that he’ll ignore his attraction in favor of gossip that might’ve been spread about her. Now she wonders if it’s worth it to shoot her shot with a guy that didn’t offer to walk her home after a three hour date together.  “It was such a good breakup, if there is such a thing.”  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E477 Bachelorette Recap w/ Scheana Shay

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Finale Edition! Today we are joined by Scheana Shay of Vanderpump Rules, to dive into the explosive drama of the ending of this first ever double Bachelorette season. We kick things off by diving into the situation with Tino and Rachel, breaking down the fight around Tino cheating. While we feel there is no redemption, we wonder if Rachel brought Tino on to try to find a solution or just to yell at him because rightfully so, she’s been hurt. We reflect on the mess of the situation and realize this may have been Rachel’s biggest fear, given a season designed to give constant rejection. We then rejoice in having a happy ending with Gabby and Erich! We break down the texting controversy with Erich and dive into why while his actions weren’t perfect, they serve to highlight how things can change so quickly on the show. We also break down the announcement of the next Bachelor, Zach Shallcross! And we recap all the crazy antics that happened tonight with Zach, with them putting him on the spot to remember names, initial thoughts, crazy facial reactions, and already having America vote on the First Impression Rose.

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we’re here again to bring on our callers to answer their burning questions and to help give advice to the situations that they are in.

Our next caller shares that her boyfriend broke up with her because he thought she traveled too much, while he himself was away on a boys’ trip. Even though he seems like he was the problem, she feels guilt and has difficulty moving on.  Our last caller worries that her boyfriend's new found career choice may take him away from where they currently live.

E474 Bachelorette Recap w/ Greg Grippo

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are joined by Bachelor Nation’s Greg Grippo to dive into the last few episodes of this season of the Bachelorette, leading up to the ever approaching and exciting finale! We kick things off by recapping our reactions to the interview we did with Nayte, now that the dust has settled. We share our thoughts about the breakup and realize that two good and well intentioned people can have a toxic relationship. We then get into the episode itself, picking up with the fight between Rachel and Zach. We break down age being used as an excuse, a smile that reveals true feelings, and how leading someone on is different than saying they’re the problem. We also talk about the night date with Rachel and Aven, how the guys are only getting half of the time they usually would, and how Aven tried his best to connect with Rachel in conflict. We also talk about if we think anyone on the show is reading Reddit threads about them, and how Clayton is still being used as the butt of a joke even though people are making the same mistakes. We then share some predictions of what we think will be talked about at the live segment, and how next season is really their only chance to have two Bachelors at once.  “If you have to break hearts, don’t make them feel like it was their fault.”  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E472 Ask Nick Update’s Special Episode

Welcome back to The Viall Files! Today we have a special “where are they now” update show where we bring back some of our previous callers and get an update on what happened after they called in for advice. We first cut back to their initial story and question, the advice they got, how they took the advice and what they learned from the situations they were in. Our first caller reached out to get help shooting her shot with her hot chiropractor, wondering how to be direct in a sticky situation. After revealing in her update that it did not go as she hoped, she talks about what she learned and dives into her new prospects in love. Our next caller wonders if his friend is gay after the friend continues to make flirty advances. Worried that he would ruin the friendship by saying something, our caller wonders the best way to approach the subject. After revealing some new information, our caller checks back in with us to talk about how their friendship has continued and recaps the big conversation they had. Our last caller called in originally after she found out that her boyfriend is actually married with four kids. Feeling that they had a strong connection but getting judgment from her friends, our caller wondered simply what to do. She calls back in to update us about how things have changed. We also read some great updates that past callers wrote in and shared.

E471 Going Deeper with Nayte Olukoya: “I’m Not A F*ckboy”

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we have a very exciting episode where we are joined by Nayte Olukoya of Bach Nation, where he tells all regarding his shocking breakup with Michelle Young. To kick things off, we dive into some pop culture topics, such as breaking down the controversy of “Spitgate” where it is alleged that Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine during the Venice Film Festival showing of the upcoming movie, Don’t Worry Darling. Was this just two friends messing around or is this something deeper? We also talk about the newest TikTok from Emily Ratajkowski joking that she prefers “ugly men” amid her split from her cheating husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, and we then dive into talking about the difference between hot ugly and ugly hot. After the pop culture, we get into our interview with Nayte, where he talks about the events that lead to the breakup, how they broke up over the phone, and how the pressures of social media affected their personal lives. We also talk about why Michelle blocked Nayte, how Nayte plans to heal, and how Nayte broke up with someone different from who he fell in love with. We get emotional while laying everything out, so tune in for this very special interview. After the interview, we bring in one of our Texting Office Hours callers, who needs help with her boyfriend that isn’t acting like someone with a label should.  “Breakups suck and you gotta do what you gotta do!”  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are joined by journalist, host, model, and actress, Cathy Kelley! In this episode we jump in to break down the latest episodes of the Bachelorette, getting into both episodes of this week’s Fantasy Suites. We start off with some tea from Bachelor Nation, talking about Hannah Brown’s IG post about her brother’s wedding, and addressing the rumors if Gabby is on the next Dancing With The Stars. We then get into the episode itself, where we talk how Rachel and Gabby navigate situations that they called Clayton out for, if the lead always has to lead someone on, and when exploring all your options hurts the person you end up with. We talk about Jason’s goodbye and how he may have had a guard up, Erich communicating that being in the fantasy suites felt like being cheated on, and how to best have an argument while on camera. We also talk about the blowup between Zach and Rachel, which Bachelorette may be acting more than loving, and Gabby finally opening up fully for the first time on the show.  “Rachel is leading someone on for sure.”  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E469 Ask Nick - He Divorced Me For The Nanny

Today we’re back with another exciting episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again  to answer your questions about navigating relationships and situationships. Our first caller shares that she is having a hard time setting boundaries with her ex-husband since their marriage ended mostly due to him having an affair with their nanny, yet never admitting to it while they were married. She wonders how to move past this and be grateful for her new lease on life while also managing having to co-parent with her ex. Our next caller is concerned for her best friend as our caller finds her new boyfriend to be disrespectful of boundaries and constantly pressuring them both. She loves her friend and asks how to best support her while also telling her about her concerns while not pushing her away due to her distrust and dislike of this guy. Our last caller is very comfortable in her home town with family and a great job she's worked hard at. Yet, she wonders if she is just letting her life and opportunities for love pass her by in staying there versus moving away and trying to expand her horizons.  “It can be addicting to feel bad.” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E466 Ask Nick - Got Married Behind My Best Friend’s Back

Today we’re back with another exciting episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring on our callers to help them answer their questions and navigate their relationships, situationships, and everything in between. We welcome on our first caller who wonders if she’s doing the right thing after leaving a relationship with a guy after finding out that he was following thousands of Instagram accounts of women in their underwear. After her confrontation goes poorly and he starts following more girls, she reflects on the situation and wonders if she handled this really strange situation properly. Our next caller found love and got married during covid but has yet to tell his best friend and wonders how to tell him without causing his friend to react poorly for being kept in the dark about a major life event. He acknowledges that there will be repercussions, but knows that being honest is the best approach to retain the friendship. Our last caller has been on a bunch of great dates with a guy and wants to know if it's a good time to tell him she wants it to be more. She wonders how long is long enough to pop these questions and if taking this step might scare people away.  “He gave you closure, you just have to see it that way.” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Support a Local Bookstore: https://bookshop.org/books/don-t-text-your-ex-happy-birthday-and-other-advice-on-love-sex-and-dating-9798212185622/9781419755491 Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

On this new episode of Going Deeper we dive deep with our guest, asking about her recent breakup, how social media has made moving on worse, how dating is a lot more complicated when you’re an influencer, the best places to find people to date, and why it’s important to work on yourself not just when you’re single.

Our second caller wonders how to deal with a girl she’s been talking to, who only seems to text our caller when she’s bored.

We also dive into Zach dropping the L-Bomb, how Zach is getting Rachel ready to date Tino, Rachel’s wacky cheese strongman competition, and Gabby’s erotic group date where Spencer left uncomfortable and Johnny left dripping with hot wax. We also breakdown Tino’s emotional breakdown, Logan’s unceremonious exit from the season, and debating if the producers accidentally showed their hand. “Their whole relationship is built off of his obsession.” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E460 Ask Nick - Will My Arrest Record Scare Him?

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We’re here again to bring on our callers and give them advice to answer their questions and navigate their relationships. On this episode we bring on our first caller who wonders how to come clean to a guy she’s seeing about criminal charges she is facing. With the crimes committed when she was an addict, her now being clean, and the guy she’s seeing also in recovery,  she wonders if they can build a connection by being honest about the skeletons in their closets. Our next caller is dealing with a situation in which her ex-boyfriend wants to stop by her place to pick up some things he left behind. Wondering how to shut down her ex’s power play, she wonders if enlisting the help of a guy friend can help this ex from trying anything. Our last caller wonders how to introduce her boyfriend to her family when she’s previously set strict barriers with her parents because of their behavior. Now she wonders how to make the introduction natural and if sometimes things are only a big deal if you make them a big deal. “Give people the opportunity to fail.” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by actor, writer, host, and Bachelor superfan, Dave Holmes!

We also talk about how Rachel has had a rough episode with canceling the group date, how she’s making the same mistakes that Clayton made, and how the two Bachelorettes handle rejection and disappointment differently.

Our last caller has been in a great relationship with her boyfriend but starts to question everything knowing that she’ll be taking an internship in Italy for 6 months.

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Actress and  Musician Hayley Orrantia. You’ll recognize her from The Goldbergs! On this episode we dive deep with our guest talking about what it’s like to be on one show for almost a decade, how the LA karaoke scene is like nothing else, and how relationships that ended poorly aren’t a waste of time. We then talk about how Hayley and her fiancé bonded over dating sociopaths, how forcing yourself to deal with heartbreak is better than ignoring it, and continuing to learn about the person you’re dating even after the honeymoon phase ends. We also cover the Emily Ratajkowski cheating scandal and dive in to present the narrative of why people cheat and why the person cheated on should never feel at fault. We also talk about the Rejection Challenge, why exposing yourself to “no” can make you a more dynamic person, and the controversy with Drake airdropping a picture he took of a woman to her. We then welcome on two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller wonders what to do after being ghosted after an amazing first date. She asks how to cut through the noise and learn that this “perfect guy” may actually be a f*ckboy hiding in plain sight. Our next caller wants help in drafting a text to respond to a guy she feels treated her poorly by constantly not making her a priority. Now she has to learn that she shouldn’t be focusing on making a guy from her past feel bad when she’s already happy in a relationship.  “He’s not even pretending to be a f*ckboy!” 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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E450 Going Deeper - The One That Got Away, Chris Evans plus JLO & Ben Married

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by star of The One That Got Away, Jeff Perla. On this episode we welcome on Jeff to dive into his experience on the show, get the tea on who he left the show with, and how the producers dug up people from his past. We also talk about if it’s worth it to explore missed connections, the contestants Jeff loved and hated the most on the show, and doing body shots for a dollar at brunch. We also talk about coming out when you’re an adult, and how sometimes reopening a connection can bring a lot of emotional weight. We also dive into some pop culture topics such as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting married after years of being apart, Chris Evans announcing that he’s ready for love and will be putting all his energy into it, and the Tristan Thompson -Khloe Kardashian situation with people commenting on her dating choices. We then welcome on TWO Texting Office Hours Callers. Our first caller wants to formulate a text to help find a reason for her to travel to see a guy that lives far away from her. Knowing that they’ve hit it off in the past, she learns to be direct and learn that it’s better to ask for what you want rather than chase. Our next caller wonders what to do when someone she’s been hooking up with begins to ask very strange personal questions regarding her and the future. Now she wonders if she should play the game and send a semi-snarky text or move on from this hookup.  “Don’t chase a man during Summer.” 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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E449 Bachelorette Recap w/ Blake Moynes

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by Blake Moynes of Bachelor Nation! In this episode we start things off by diving into some hot questions and check-in on Blake to see how he is dealing with his breakup of Katie, how long it took him to recover, and what he’s focused on now. We ask if there was emotional cheating in his relationship and then ask him about his time on the Bachelor and his interactions with Greg on Season 17 of The Bachelorette. We ask how valid it was that Katie said she knew that Greg was not the one and we solve the mystery behind Blake’s censored painting. We then respond to our episode last week and talk about our approach to responding to drama and how our response to Katie differs from the situation where Blake Horstmann leaked texts. After some Bachelor Nation Tea, we dive into recapping the latest episode of The Bachelorette. On the latest episode, we find that there were a lot of upset eliminations, with Jordan the drag racer being sent home despite going on a one on one date, and how the first impression rose doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re safe. With two Bachelorettes, are the dynamics different and are previous signs of going far in the season now signs you’ll be sent home next? We also talk about if the guys should be focusing on one bachelorette or should they get to know a bit about both, if nicknames are a sign you’re not being taken seriously, and if there will be jealousy between both of the Bachelorettes.  “Man earned that f*ckboy edit!” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E448 Ask Nick - I Want The Courthouse He Wants The Big Wedding

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We welcome on our callers to give them advice about their relationships and situationships! Our first caller deals with dating after moving to a new state, finding it hard to connect and progress the dates she’s been going on. After finding a guy she has genuine interest in, she wonders if she should put herself out there and shoot her shot, while also learning to take things slow as she recently moved and has a lot of settling in to do. Our next caller struggles when a guy she can’t get over really might not be as great as she makes him out to be. Now she must learn to hold more respect for herself as the good traits this guy holds are traits she could find with anyone. Our last caller deals with conflict when her current boyfriend wants to have a massive wedding, while she is more than happy to go to the courthouse. With this conflict in mind, we ask our caller if the reasons for her preferences might be from a deeper cause.  “We all have to shift through dirt to find gold” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E444 Going Deeper - Mediation Caller Special

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are switching up our typical Going Deeper format to welcome some Mediation Callers! We bring on friends and couples to help them hash out their disagreements and see what we can do to help them find some common ground. Our first callers are looking for advice on how to deal with the boyfriend going out and drinking while the girlfriend stays home and worries. He finds going out to be the perfect outlet and doesn’t mean to worry his partner, but he finds himself struggling to stay disciplined with communication and promises. Our next callers wrote in about one of them wanting a dog and the other not yet being sure. As they just moved in together, literally 24 hours ago, they wonder if their lives are too busy to get a dog. And with them potentially moving to another state in the future, are there too many roadblocks to commit to a pup? Should they just get a dog and figure it out or wait a beat and make sure they are truly ready? Our last callers were best friends but had a falling out a few years ago. They get back together in the same room for the first time to try to figure out how to mend this relationship right on The Viall Files. They ask how to best get past their issues and move on from the things that occurred and put strain on the friendship. Can they restore their relationship back to what it was before? Or because of the falling out, can they never be as close again.  “It’s okay to have a different kind of friendship.”  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.  If you would like to get some advice on Office Hours send an email to asknick@kastmedia.com with “Office Hours” in the subject line!  Be sure to check out my sports radio show Fandemonium, Wednesdays @ 3PT / 6 ET  on Amazon's Amp app.  Click the link to download Amp using my code NICKVIALL https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amp-host-live-radio-shows/id1586403838 Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Welcome listeners, and join us as we take on your burning questions to help you navigate through the world of relationships. Our first caller currently lives in a semi long distance relationship as her boyfriend works at sea.

Our next caller describes that she is currently going through the fallout of a breakup, wanting to move on without going through a fuckboy era. Now Nick talks to our caller about how everyone participating in hookup culture is in a way, a fuckboy, and how everyone deals with a breakup differently. Our last caller has trouble deciding between two guys, especially when one of these situationships ended because of a tragedy of no fault of her own. Now our caller learns that she may be creating stories in her head based on limited information, and needs to think internally about what she really wants from a guy.  “Some of our best stories from the past are where we felt the most discomfort in the present.” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E436 Ask Nick with Morgan Absher - Men Are Emasculated by Me!

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we welcome Content Creator and Co-Host of the Two Hot Takes Podcast, Morgan Absher, to help us solve our four callers’ questions in the world of dating. Our first caller struggles with the maturity of guys she’s dating in a relatively small pool of people in her southern town, especially when after admitting she is a surgeon her dates tend to attempt to compensate. Now, she wonders if moving to a major city and upping the age range on her dating apps will give her more chances to find love. Our next caller has recently moved and struggles to find friendships in her new city. Now wondering how to deal with something so common, she learns that it might be okay to admit that you’re lonely. After that, our caller has a sticky situation where he can’t tell if his guy best friend may have feelings that extend beyond friendship. After his friend breaks up with his girlfriend, our caller has trouble telling if advances like an armpit tickle could be curiosity or strictly platonic. Our last caller wonders if he should start back up a relationship from the past year after exploring his options more. Now he wonders if this past relationship is worth pursuing and if he’s just been wasting his time looking for the perfect option instead of recognizing what is in front of him. “What you’re doing isn’t going to get you what you want!” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

VIGILANTE IS AVAILABLE NOW!

Tim Miller is a famous search-and-rescuer in Dickinson, Texas, who's helped track down more than 300 missing persons. After 38 years of searching, he’s now convinced that he’s finally solved his own daughter’s murder.  In the first season of VIGILANTE, Allie Conti (New York Times, Vice) explores the human cost of Tim’s singular obsession with the case—from the people he’s falsely accused in the past, to the current girlfriend he’s put in the crosshairs of a possible serial killer. As Allie prepares to interview the suspect in person, she grapples with whether she might be the latest victim of Tim’s vigilantism.   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vigilante/id1622288667 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/49wzulSXKQKWYOIWoTVEPT?si=d9bb79b8fb9243e2 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.”  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

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.

E419 Amber & Johnny: Body Language Expert & Therapist plus Natalie Joy!

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.

E406 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Pays Me Salary

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive into our first caller’s situation where a church guy she met comes on super strong, then pulls away. From his weird pickup lines asking if she wanted cat food, to his drug use, to him being a 32 year old virgin, his aura of mystery only likely serves to hurt. Our next caller can’t stop hooking up with and seeing a guy she knows is toxic for her. From changing his contact name on her phone to an STD, she can’t seem to stop herself from seeing a guy she knows isn’t good for her. She asks for help with putting her foot down and moving on. Our last caller struggles with what to do after her military boyfriend got orders to move to another state, meaning she would have to pack up her life where she lives now to continue to live with him. Now, she wonders what to do considering she would have to put a stop on her career, and if an unconventional solution like having him pay her a “Girlfriend Tax” may get her what she needs to make the jump and move.  “I got hooked on the potential of where it could go.”  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E405 Going Deeper - Female Viagra, Will Smith and Flirty CoWorkers!

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Cindy Eckert, the billionaire behind the creation of “female Viagra” known as Addyi. On this episode we talk about why a drug like this has never been made for women, how the options given to women differ from men for a similar problem, and how Cindy was able to sell her drug to a company and win it back again down the line. We also talk about how Cindy got death threats for releasing Addyi, how this drug differs from Viagra, and how Cindy had to fight against the FDA. We also dive into pop culture, talking about the Will Smith situation, him leaving the academy, and how defending your partner can expose toxic traits. We then shift to feature an extra call from our Ask Nick episode with Justin Long where our caller deals with a flirty coworker who is stringing her along. Now she struggles to know if he actually cares for her or if she is the victim of his fuckboy tactics.  “People misinterpret being sex positive as not being able to have opinions about sex at all.” 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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E399 Going Deeper – Chris Olsen

Today we are joined by the incredibly talented and hilarious Tik-Tok star, Chris Olsen. On this episode of Going Deeper, Chris opens up about his very public break-up as well as his time in recovery, what that was like for him and his family, and how his life has changed. After that, we break down his thoughts on Love is Blind Season 2, the reunion, and his thoughts on Deepti and Shake. We also talk about how Shake finally got his “perfect” girl, when he reveals his new blonde girlfriend that he can put on his shoulders. We also discuss the ever-evolving Kanye and Pete Davidson drama, after news breaks out about Pete’s new tattoo. We dive into what the attraction is, if this relationship seems too flashy to be true, and how public relationships can only survive media coverage and never benefit from it. We then go to a mediation where a couple is having issues with where to live after his residency: She wants the California Beach life and he wants the mountains. But, after the girlfriend talks about their deal where they would live in California for 4 years and he would get to decide where they move for forever, we wonder if she really had a scheme in the background to never let him leave California. How can they come to a decision together that benefits both of their needs, without anyone holding resentment afterwards? “There's no winning in disagreements, I have found.”  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.  Pre-Order Nick’s Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

On this episode of Going Deeper, we ask Susie all the hard questions and dive way deeper into this insane season’s drama.

We also get her thoughts on Gabby & Rachel’s heartbreak and seeing the fallout of Clayton saying he “loved her the most.”  We also ask about how Clayton has grown since the season, how Susie is happy to end this relationship at any time if it isn’t working for her, and how her sliding into his DMs blossomed into a relationship. We then go to a mediation where a couple is looking to heal from cheating. They wonder how they can move on and not instigate each other with his past discretions. We break down what each person's expectations should be, boundaries they need to set and how to manage the risk of trusting again. We end the show asking Susie where she is in her relationship with Clayton as she shares that she really wants them to do a pulse check and continue to talk realistically about their future and not just get engaged. “He realizes that this is bigger than just our love story”  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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E394 Rose Ceremony From Hell with Christina Harris and Natalie Joy

Today we are joined by both Christina Harris and Natalie as we dive into talking about the first night of the finale to Clayton’s insane season. After some Hot Goss about Clayton’s different press appearances leading up to the finale, we dive into part one of the episode itself. On this episode we focus on the Rose Ceremony “From Hell” where people are crying, people are storming out, and people are having their hearts broken in front of everyone else. We talk about the problematic nature of Clayton loving Susie the most, how Clayton’s apology and tell-all still holds a lot back, and how honestly would have prevented a lot of this drama. We also talk about how being The Bachelor means being a leader instead of having things your way and how Clayton appears like he has a lot of dating maturity to build. “He expected everyone to adapt instead of him having to empathize.”  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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E391 Bachelor Recap With Jim Jefferies Plus Genevieve

Today we are joined by Comedian and Bachelor Fan, Jim Jefferies! On this DOUBLE episode of Bachelor Recap we break down the explosive Women Tell All and discuss all the drama from Fantasy Suites. Reflecting on the Tell All, we ask if the rest of the women stooped to Shanae’s level, turning themselves into mean girls and going too far by trying to get revenge. We also question if Shanae is evil or if the power of the edit is strong enough to make someone making bad choices look like a villain. We then have Genevieve call in to get the real deal on all of the season’s drama and to hear her reasoning for going so hard on Shanae in the Tell All. We question Genevieve’s comments about Shanae having a “diaper outfit” and calling her a hypocrite. We then dive into Fantasy Suite discussion, talking about how many contestants you should have sex with, how sure the Bachelor is going into the fantasy suite, and how Clayton may ruin everything he has going for him. We also talk about how Clayton saying he loves someone might reveal the winner and how this crazy season will come to an end.  “They say ‘I love you’ over and over again for 8 hours. That messes with you.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode of Ask Nick we are joined by dating coach and podcaster, Damona Hoffman. You’ll recognize her from The Drew Barrymore Show and Love Expert. With Damona’s expertise, we dive into the world of situationships. Our first caller met a guy who seemed perfect, even though it was a long distance. His disconnect made her question everything, after her therapist suggested she do some research she found out he is married with kids! Now she struggles if she should get involved and let his wife know, or if she should save her energy and move on. Our next caller is having issues with her best friend who appears very selfish and controlling. She tells the caller that she’s smarter and better than everyone, and even told the caller’s boyfriend NOT to propose until after she gets married. Our caller wonders if she should break off the friendship and say she won't be at her wedding or confront her with her feelings and hope for the best resolution? Our last caller is frustrated when a boy from her church sends her good signals but doesn’t follow through with them. She struggles when she feels like this guy looks great on paper, and how someone with a “good resume” could not be a good partner.  “He’s giving you ‘I want you around’ energy”  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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files,  joined by TWO Love is Blind 2 cast members! We get the scoop from both bombshell interviews, one from Deepti and one from Shaina.

Next, we interview Deepti and get the scoop on all things Shake. We ask her if his edit was actually kind to him, how he acted off camera, and how his comments about putting a girl on his shoulders reveals a lot more about him.

With the pressure building as we approach the final three, we gauge our predictions on who Clayton will pick or if anyone will stay after all of the drama unfolds.

We then talk about the best family members from hometowns, Clayton getting his butt kicked on a date, and faking to the contestant’s parents that their daughter will be the one.

Our next caller struggles when her friend demands to be the top priority, feeling competition when our caller says she’s hanging out with other people.

SCOUNDREL: HISTORY'S FORGOTTEN VILLAINS IS AVAILABLE NOW!

History consists of heroes and villains (and, I suppose everything in between)... but it's usually the villains who are the most interesting: Their flaws, their quirks, the voids in their hearts that force them to do the unthinkable. These are the characters that fascinate us, that pull us in, that compel us to watch and don’t let us look away. And these are the characters that Scoundrel: History’s Forgotten Villains is all about. Scoundrel, is a new bi-weekly anthology podcast from Kast Media and the award winning creators of Myths & Legends, that tells the stories of the rapscallions through time who were just a little more adept at hiding their evil from historians than others. By joining them on their treacherous journeys, we not only learn about what makes them tick, but more importantly, the times that created them. Sidney Gottlieb, George Remus, Hetty Green, Thomas Blood, James McClintock. They’ve all done horrible things...on varying scales. If there’s anything we can salvage from their misdeeds and incalculable human suffering, it’s the opportunity to use them to elucidate the times they’ve lived… so that we can better understand ourselves.    Listen anywhere you get podcasts: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scoundrel-historys-forgotten-villains/id1609801925 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3KRjtrNffxIZzCb6gGxPCN?si=2ae9d508ac5744e9  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

E386 Going Deeper - Ryan and Meghan Trainor, Love is Blind 2, Mediation

Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files. We are joined by Ryan and Meghan Trainor, who host a podcast together called Working on It! First, we dive into talking about Love is Blind 2, where we debate whether Shayne is toxic or a self-aware goofball. We then talk about how LIB describes itself as a social experiment, giving it a really different feel from other shows and the changed dynamic of watching them get married. We also talk about how Ryan feels turned off from dating after watching the antics on the show, and how Nick and Meghan are pushing him to date again and download dating apps. Will they convince him to put himself out there, or will Ryan’s fear of loud laughter shatter his changes from finding love? Afterwards, we get into our Mediation callers, who need help figuring out how to manage each other's emotions. She says she’s cold like an ice queen and that he’s soft and cuddly like a puppy. They struggle with being honest about their emotions, while also trying not to hurt one another in the process. “That is your ego, by the way.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

On this episode we start with some Hot Goss, talking about vasectomies as birth control, trying to win over the fanbase in a breakup, and if Hannah Brown has still not followed her new sister in law. We then dive into the episode itself and talk about how everything is getting more intense leading up to hometowns, who had the most believable fake tears, and Clayton stepping up to call out BS. We then talk about how an indecisive Bachelor seems sloppy, a clearly one sided therapist, and how Clayton’s hot sexy romance with Susie may be too surface level to last.

E384 Ask Nick - Can a Church Boy's Behavior Change?

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Today, our first two callers are worried about their friend who is hiding her new boyfriend from them and not giving much information about the relationship. Our friends ask if it’s alright to step in, or if sometimes it’s okay to let your friends be irresponsible to learn for themselves. Our next caller deals with a guy she met at church, who is known to have had some bad dating behaviors in highschool. Now she questions if the gossip is irrelevant, or if his immature nature when he was younger will become a problem in their current situationship. The last caller is very worried for a friend who she believes to be in a potentially abusive relationship, where the friend’s boyfriend is cutting her off from the rest of the world. Now, our caller wonders how she can intervene when her friend seems unable to help herself.  “In a perfect world we would learn from other peoples’ mistakes” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E377 Going Deeper - Stripper Turned Politician, Alexandra Hunt

Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files. We are joined by former stripper and now political candidate, Alexandra Hunt. On this episode we talk about breaking down the stereotypes of sex workers, why running a platform in support of sex workers is important, how the sex industry has massive amounts of stigma even though many enjoy the content it produces, and why many hide their past as a stripper. We also talk about using TikTok as a platform for marketing a campaign and how pushing sex work to the underground only makes things more dangerous. Then we welcome our mediation couple to help navigate a situation in which their partner has given an ultimatum to get engaged within four years of dating, or they would break up. We help figure out if this ultimatum is reasonable, why there’s hesitation, and how a ring may not be the best symbol of commitment.

Today we are joined by TikToker, Comedian, Actress, Writer, and most importantly, massive Bachelor Fan, Eilise Guilfoyle! She's here with all her notes on the Bachelor Nation drama to help us jump into the newest excitement from Clayton’s season. We start off by talking about how this episode is testing Clayton, where when emotionally exhausted, he has to break up a fight at the cocktail party. We also talk about the massive success that was Rachel’s one-on-one date, where we really felt the first flames of romance from this season, and how Clayton’s behavior places her in Final Four material. We also talk about how the drama where Shanae overheard the house roasting her was probably staged, and how having multiple cameras in an area where they typically never are may be a hint that something is fake. We also talk about the tactics the girls are using to get to the end, and how certain approaches may end up friendzoning yourself.  “You don’t picture your future with someone when you’re bungee jumping.”  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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

Today, on another episode of Viall Files, Ask Nick Edition, we dive into the world of situationships and answer your burning questions about relationships and the dating world. In this episode we are joined by our first caller who struggles with the idea that her boyfriend is hooked on weed, making it a higher priority than everything else in his life. Not growing up around it herself, this caller expresses concern that this may be a sign that their lifestyles are incompatible. Our next caller struggles with how to be supportive to her friend that has been stuck in a situationship for a long time. She asks for advice on how to help her friend ask for and get what she wants. Our next caller has been stuck in a situationship for almost two years and feels like she is getting crushed by the dreaded in-between. Now, she tries to learn how to not ask someone else to define the relationship, but rather, demand what she wants out of the situation. “You’re making it more of a priority than I’m comfortable with.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E366 Ask Nick - Money Problems with BF’s Man

Today on Ask Nick, we start with a caller whose best friend’s boyfriend has asked her to borrow money for her friend’s engagement ring. She is confused as to why he wants to spend outside of his means, and is wondering whether she should tell her friend who she knows is pushing for the engagement. But she soon realizes that maybe what she should really be questioning is whether to go into business with a friend who is rushing some very big life decisions. We then speak with someone who was ghosted by her “best friend” after her father passed away. Now they’re both attending at a mutual friend’s wedding and our caller is dreading the confrontation. Should she ignore the situation, or try to have a heart-to-heart before the event? “Money problems turn into other problems.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E365 Francesca Farago Dreams of Farm Life

Today we are joined by actress and Too Hot To Handle contestant, Francesca Farago. In this interview we dive into the downsides about sharing relationships on social media, how to ignore the rumor mill, and how being on reality TV and wanting privacy in your personal life are two different things. We also talk about finding your love language, how society is judgmental of someone with a lot of exes, and how you can be your own person even in a relationship. We also ask about how dating greatly differs when going out with men versus with women, and how jealously from your partner can be an issue when you’re bisexual.  “A lot of people see exes as a failure.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

E364 Bachelor Recap With Lisa Schwartz

Today we look forward to welcoming you back to the world of the Bachelor, kicking it off with another recap for the first episode of Clayton’s season. Our guest today is YouTuber and actress, Lisa Schwartz. First, we do a report card and ask how Clayton and Jesse are doing in their roles and how the show is doing in terms of letting us learn more about Clayton, besides just his love for puppies. We dive into the Sally situation, and judge how Clayton handles a hurt contestant that is not ready for the show and to love again. We select our picks for best intros, who we think will make it to the end, and which contestants are already being edited to look like villains. We talk about how we think Teddi, a virgin, will likely lose her virginity in the Fantasy Suite, how giving away a 100 year old photo to the Bachelor may be a bad idea, and how being a good person isn’t enough to be a good Bachelor. We can already tell this season is going to be fun but messy, so come join us in recapping the premiere!  “Being a good Bachelor has nothing to do with being a good human being”  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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

E363 Ask Nick - Hallmark Situationship

Today we are back with your questions on another edition of Ask Nick. We begin with a caller who’s love life has turned into a real life Hallmark movie. Should she date the buttoned up finance guy and charity donor who lives in her city? Or should she head back to her roots to pursue romance with an old hometown flame, who is comfortable and familiar, but has a bit of a bad boy image? Next, we are joined by a caller who is navigating a potential relationship with someone with an STI. She really likes him (and is normally very picky so that really means something) but she has never dated someone with an STI so she doesn’t know exactly how to manage the risk. Lastly, we speak with someone who has recently found out that her ex’s friends have been mocking her and her social media and potentially disrupting her future dating life. We then learn she works with some of these friends, so she’s wondering how to go about blocking them, and how she can move on from feeling “crazy” after the break-up. “Your ex has a groupchat with his friends where they share your TikToks and your snapchats and talk about them.” 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.  Check out our new “Introvert” merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

E362 Viall Files: Memorable Moments from 2021

Today we’re celebrating the end of 2021 and another year of Viall Files! In this episode we’ll go through some highlights from the year, talking about highs, controversies, regrets, and everything in-between! We start off this episode by highlighting things that happened in our lives: from vibrating underwear, butterflies, and Meatball-gate! We also highlight interviews such as with Tinx, Steve-O, Andy Grammer, and Olivia O’Brien. Each interview taught us something unique about love and life and we wanted to show the best moments in conversation. We talk some regrets from this year, where we could have gone deeper with Katie speaking poorly of Thomas and Nikki explaining a theory from a book she read that, at the time, made our heads turn. Next we thank all of our Ask Nick callers and highlight some great takeaways from the year. We close with discussing the controversy with Gaslighting and the various conversations we had to find out when to use a term and the benefits and harm in defining a behavior.  Thank you so much for listening this year!

They finally hook up just before he goes off to be on a realty show where, plot twist: he meets someone else. Now our caller is questioning what to do. The next caller is returning for advice after getting help from Ask Nick on Instagram. Her current relationship seems perfect - until it’s not - and our caller now is worried it’s getting too “vanilla.” Lastly, we speak with someone whose boyfriend’s new apartment stinks, and she’s wondering how she can talk to him about it without hurting his feelings. “The thing that you’re afraid of is happening.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

E360 Brandon Jones Tells All

Today we’re sitting down with Bachelorette Runner-up, Brandon Jones! We dive in to get all the tea on the conclusion of this season and check-in with Brandon to see how he is doing after the finale. We ask if the emotions were real, how he’s handling heartbreak, and what bothers him most that people assume about him. We also dive into Brandon trying to find clarity by watching the show, what defines a fuckboy in Brandon’s eyes, and who he would let his sister date from the house. We reflect by asking Brandon how he would react if Michelle reached out to him and if he would want another chance with her. We also give Brandon some advice now that he is part of the heartbreak club and ask about his future plans. “I want my partner to choose me.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

Today on another Ask Nick, we dive into the world of situationships, relationships, and everything in-between. Our first caller talks about their upcoming trip home to their hometown, where each year, they meet up with the same boy to share a kiss on a park bench. Now, they wonder how they can take things to the next level after they have done this for over ten years. Our next caller recounts a romcom moment and a potential kiss in the rain. Now, they wonder if these theatrics are romantic or more so stemming from this man not understanding love in a mature way. Our last caller tries to reconnect with a friend after her secret relationship betrayed the trust of her friend group. Now, she wonders if enough time has passed to try to repair friendships, or if the moment has passed.  “Did he actually say that, or are you thinking for him?” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

E357 Ian Wallace - Dreams: The Ultimate Self-Portrait

Today on the Viall Files we are decoding your dreams with dream psychologist, Ian Wallace. Ian is a best-selling author and popular broadcaster who is widely acclaimed in the media for his live dream analysis. Nick and Ian dive right in, starting with analyzing dreams about infidelity (and sex in general), what they mean and how we can translate our dreams into actions. Ian explains why it is more common for men to have vivid dreams and walks us through the top 5 most common dreams. Ian then breaks down the symbolism behind our very own Viall Files teams’ recurring dreams, dreams of being pigeon holed, sleep paralysis vs. lucid dreaming, and dreams about death. He’ll show us how our dreams are the ultimate self portrait and how we can process and remember dreams by using “will, still, and fill.” “People used to think dreams happen to them, when really, you happen to the dream.” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

We talk some Bachelor Nation Hot Goss and how Kaitlyn directly responded to a podcaster about how Tayshia planned her walkout during the Men Tell All. We then talk about how the order of Fantasy Suite picks may impact who goes home next, that Nayte may end up being the winner, and how Michelle seems like she no longer has to be the teacher in situations and can finally be herself.

E355 Ask Nick - Exposure Therapy for Dating

Today on another Ask Nick, we start with our first caller who struggles when her boyfriend refuses to get vaccinated even though she and her family have and it has turned into a deeper issue than she originally thought it was. We then unpack whether his reluctance bleeds into other aspects of their relationship, where he places his needs above anyone else. Our next caller deals with a long dry spell after a breakup where they’re having trouble re-engaging with hook-up culture and finding people down for something casual. After that, our next caller wants advice about breaking up because their ex was an alcoholic. The caller is wondering if they should casually check-in to see how they are doing or just move on. Lastly, our next caller wonders if they are settling for their relationship and if their needs are not being met or if it’s really worth the work towards an engagement. “We don’t get bonus points for suffering in relationships” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!

E353 Bachelorette Recap With Emma Gray

We’re breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with Emma Gray, Editor at Huffpost and Co-Host of the #LoveToSeeIt Podcast. On this Recap, we start off by diving back into the Hot Goss that’s circulating around Bach Nation. We first talk about whether or not Katie’s recent posts are inconsiderate and how self-aware she is if she’s feeding into the drama. We then dive into the "Men Tell All" where we break down who of the contestants are acting or if this level of emotion actually came out. After, we talk about how many of these men knew that there wasn’t a connection with Michelle, so they have been going all out to potentially get a spot on Paradise. Speaking of future endeavors, we reflect on Tayshia’s walk-off after breaking her silence on Zac, and how playing into the drama may hurt her future chances of being a host. Lastly, we close out by discussing the BIZARRE teaser for Clayton, where he reveals that he’s had sex with both women at a rose ceremony.  “Michelle is an educator.

Our next caller asks for help after being stuck in the middle of a sticky situation when at a party, a husband cheats on their wife with one of the caller’s friends. Now this entire friend group struggles with what to do after witnessing infidelity at this event. Our next caller deals with an extreme long distance relationship that, once physically together, has no chemical spark in the bedroom. Now the caller has to navigate between emotional and physical attraction and determine what they need. Our last caller deals with a hot summer fling that fizzled out. Now, they’re deciding between attempting to put together the pieces or just move on.  “Am I loved the way I want to be loved?” 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.  Check out our new "Introvert" merch at www.viallfiles.com today!
