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."

E536 Going Deeper with Taylor Lautner and Tay Lautner

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.

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."

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."

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 a tumultuous relationship with her birth mother and wasn't sure if it was better to forgive her and try to establish peace, or if she should move on and prioritize less toxic relationships. Our second caller had gone to a Harry Styles concert with a platonic guy friend from her apartment building, only to have things turn romantic. Has she listened to Nick's advice and addressed the shift in dynamic head-on? Finally, we get an update from our caller that was thinking about hooking up with her boss's - despite him showing some fuckboy qualities. Whose number did she get at the family holiday party, and who booty called her while with her boss? We also have some written updates! Our caller who was debating moving out from her boyfriend despite being financially dependent, the texting office hours question of if a guy who ended things might want to pursue her in the future, and our caller who needed to break up with her ex - again - all write back in to let us know exactly what happened.

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."

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!

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.
