The Viall Files

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 anniversaries in relationships and read an email from a listener that's debating boycotting her friend's wedding. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller has recently discovered a love of working out, but her boyfriend says he doesn't want to date a girl with a muscular body and is encouraging her to stop going to the gym. Our second caller is worried that she's too attached to her boyfriend after he went on a ten-day boys' trip and she missed him a lot. Our final caller is trying to find the strength to leave her situationship. We discuss how she's been willing to accept the bare minimum, and now needs to enforce boundaries with him. "You're not okay with it, and that's what matters."

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."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Barbara Corcoran to talk business, love, and pop culture. What were the defining moments of her career, what does she think about modern dating and hook-up culture, and how about flirting with Nick? We then have a "Sweating the Wedding" bridesmaid who has been plagued by Venmo requests from a very bougie Maid of Honor… the bachelorette trip is quickly approaching, and she's worried about the potential budget and charges coming her way. "Pettiness, me? Of course!"

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Love is Blind and Vanderpump Edition! Today we are joined by actor and writer Johnny Lowe to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on his infamous Watch What Happens Live appearance with Tom Schwartz. We hear how he attempted to explain Scandoval to his father, how he feels about being a nepo baby, and what he thinks of the Love is Blind lawsuit. We then have a "Sweating the Wedding'' caller who is renewing her vows after leaving a religious cult - and she isn't sure if she should invite family members who are still members. "People confuse empathy and accountability."

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 debate if and when you should remove photos of your exes from social media, and what keeping them, deleting them, or un-archiving them means for a relationship. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller was in a situationship that ended after he confessed to cheating on multiple people and then asking how he's grown since those experiences. He's recently reached out to her again after ending things, and she isn't sure how to proceed or if she should get back together with him. Our second caller is in love with her childhood best friend, but he has a girlfriend. She isn't sure how to confess her feelings to him, and if it will ruin their family dynamic. Our final caller is the only woman at her company and dealing with a too-friendly coworker who is now attempting to see her on the weekends. She isn't sure how to enforce her boundaries without affecting company culture, and doesn't want to upset management. "The only good news is he understands that it's f*cked up."

Before Micah's interview, we are joined by Natalie Joy to discuss the latest Vanderpump tea, break down the reunion, and listen to Micah's thoughts on Paul's TMZ interview and allegations. Then Micah joins us in the studio and answers all of our questions - from what she thought about Paul after seeing him the first time, to what made their relationship special, to what she thinks about the infamous butt tap between Paul and her bridesmaid moments after he said, "no."

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 favorite types of bread and what to do if you notice that someone you're dating has updated their dating profile. 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."
