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 feedback we got on a previous Ask Nick episode, and get our weekly Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller has two friends that can't stop hooking up, and is worried that they'll end up heartbroken or awkward at her upcoming wedding. Our next caller is having a sex stand off with her husband, and wishes he would put more effort into initiating intimacy or "wooing" her. We discuss how she can lead by example and open up these vulnerable conversations with him. Our final caller is wondering if she should blow up her life to move out of her family's house. After moving home following a break up and putting all of her savings into retirement funds, should she risk it all for independence? "I don't love that you're considering taking a risk in a time of crisis."

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 boyfriend was still extremely close with his ex-girlfriend. Has she been able to talk to her boyfriend and establish boundaries? Our second caller was blindsided into meeting her dad's mistress on Thanksgiving, and Nick had advised her to have a brutally honest conversation with her father about wanting to respect him. Finally, we get an update from our caller that had a situationship with her coworker, only to realize he was in a relationship with their other coworker. Has she stayed or left the work environment, and how did they end things? We also have some written updates - our caller who fell for a DJ that would send her intense text messages only to ghost her again, the caller who was interested in her boss' brother only to meet someone else at the Christmas party, the caller whose boyfriend controlled what she wore, and finally our caller who was interested in the woman her girlfriend cheated on her with - all write back in to let us know exactly what happened. To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers: Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: #543 Ask Nick - You Are Dick-ddicted Episode Number: #513 Ask Nick - Blindsided Into Meeting Dad's Mistress Episode Number: #463 Ask Nick - He's Dating Our Co-Worker Behind My Back Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: #527 Ask Nick - I Think My Parents Are Swingers Episode Number: #516 Ask Nick - I Want a Tattoo to Memorialize My Ex Episode Number #537 Ask Nick - There's No Medal For Staying Friends "Cynicism doesn't help anyone.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Perfect Match's Francesca Farago to get the truth about her time on the show, if her portrayal was accurate, and the secrets other cast members were hiding. Which guy sent her a sweaty video saying "I'm coming for you" prior to filming? We dive into her matches on the show (does she feel like she led Dom on?), dating history (on screen and off), and her current relationship. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who kissed her friend's coworker but isn't sure if his follow up text is a red flag. We wrap up with Francesca and figure out what the future holds for her… engagement? Children? We get all the answers. "There was a full storyline that wasn't shown."

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We're joined by actor and producer, Jason Ritter! to discuss the fifth episode of Zach's season. We start out by covering the week's Bachelor Tea, including Erich Schwer's new romance and rumors of Chris Harrison returning to ABC. We then dive into this week's episode and discuss Gabi's 1:1 date in London, and if this means she will be Zach's final rose pick. Or will Kaity's care package push her to the front of the line? After the group date and Charity's 1:1 date were canceled, we predict next week's dates and how long Zach and Greer's relationship will last. "If Zach is telling that to the women, he's lying to them."

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 Valentine's Day plans and read a listener's email about how her friend was told she was being cheated on during a nine hour road trip. Our first caller is concerned that her boyfriend is still extremely close with his ex girlfriend, and they frequently text each other. Does he still have feelings for her? Our next caller is wondering if it's possible to turn a long term situationship into a relationship. Nick talks about how she's become addicted to his dick, or our newly coined phrase, "dick-ddicted." Our final caller's mother wants to buy her (and her boyfriend) a house, but her boyfriend's pride is standing in the way. We discuss that finances can be one of the most difficult conversations to have, but the most important. How can she convince her boyfriend to take her mom up on the offer? "I just met you and I'm already tired of you doing nothing about it."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Love is Blind's Raven Ross to get the truth about her relationship with SK and address all the questions and drama surrounding their rekindling, second proposal, cheating allegations, and break up. What didn't we get to see between their season, the reunion, and after the altar? We dive into what details Raven knew and what she found out on the internet, if she's been in contact with SK's exes, and the last time she spoke with SK. We then have a special Ask Nick caller who gets Nick's advice on being invited to a couple's trip having just found out her best friend is cheating on her boyfriend. We wrap up with Raven and ask about early red flags with SK, and any parts of the relationship that she's still processing. Finally, we have a bonus Texting Office Hours call with Raven about setting boundaries and communicating expectations early on in relationships. "You're kind of being stalked. She's obsessed with you as well."

We then dive into this week's episode and discuss Katherine's 1:1 date in the Bahamas, the drama between Kylie and Anastasia on their group date, and Brooklyn's ATV jungle date.

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 how to overcome dating app fatigue and feeling overwhelmed, especially in the phases between matching and going on a date. Then, we have our most recent Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller met a British man on her recent cruise and isn't sure if she should shoot her shot and pursue long distance. Is their connection based on their vacation spark, or compatibility? Our next caller is concerned that moving in with her boyfriend has led to relationship problems. We discuss the difference between a clean, defined break and a vague undefined relationship, and how it's difficult but important to not feel bad for prioritizing your needs. Our final caller needs help figuring out if she should continue letting her mom run her dating apps. How can she regain control of her dating life? "It's just you and I talking here. Do you want to be with your boyfriend?"

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."

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."
