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."

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?"

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."
