E556 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Scammed Me Out of $400
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 friendship and how hard - but rewarding - it can be to find your people. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller has a friend with benefits that has a list of "girlfriend criteria." We go through his list and find out just how ridiculous his expectations and requirements are. Our next caller has a crush on her co worker's client, and isn't sure how to shoot her shot without stepping on toes and making work awkward. Is her friend being an unknowing obstacle, or is she interested in her client, too? Our final caller's boyfriend scammed her out of $400 and refuses to give it back. How has he continued to dodge her requests, and why are they still in a relationship? We get into all of the details. "If you don't take big swings in life, you won't have great things either."

E555 Going Deeper with Kristen Doute - Ariana's Mouthpiece
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Vanderpump Rules' former cast member Kristen Doute to talk about all things Scandoval. Dating Sandoval and being close friends with Ariana has given her a front row seat to the news of Sandoval and Rachel's affair, and she does not hold back in giving us all of the answers we need. When did the affair start, did Schwartz know, and where do Sandoval, Ariana, and Rachel stand now? And what scandalous moment did cameras catch after the news broke? "She's definitely not the only one who faked an orgasm with Tom Sandoval."

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. Our final caller is worried that she's scaring off guys by asking for too much too soon. We discuss the timing of her conversations with potential partners, and how they probably shouldn't be happening in the bedroom. "So you had this conversation with him when you were half naked?"

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."

We start out by covering the week's Bachelor Tea, including Greer and Zach's responses to their cocktail party disagreement. We then dive into this week's episode and discuss Charity's 1:1 date in Estonia, and Kat pulling (and kissing) Zach prior to their departure.
