The Viall Files

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by comedian, podcaster, and host, Michelle Collins! We're back again to recap episodes 8 through 10 as we break down how our lovely couples are doing as we lead up to their highly anticipated wedding days! Before we get to Love Is Blind, we kick things off with some Pop Culture News! We rate celebrity Halloween costumes, react to Heidi Klum's realistic worm outfit, talk about Prince Harry's upcoming memoir, and talk about a Reddit post about splitting rent when you're in different financial situations. We then get to the episodes! We dive into Raven and SK, talking about their rent argument, Raven growing on everyone during the season, a "romantic" back alley gondola ride, and the shock wedding twist ending in heartbreak. We then debate if every couple is a bit toxic, Michelle gives her hot takes on Alexa and Brennan, and talks about Alexa's dad being hot as hell. We also talk about how the bachelor parties could've used a bigger budget, how the show only needs one success story, and Bartise's crude comments at dinner. We get into the Nerf Gun fight with Cole, Zanab needing way more support from her partner, and if the women chose boys over men. We talk about the couples ignoring obvious red flags, how there should be a breakup before the wedding, Nancy sticking wholeheartedly to her decision, and an update on Colleen being a ballerina. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours callers. Our first caller needs advice after her guy friend and ex-boyfriend moved into a place together. After her friend asks our caller to visit, she wonders what the best way to approach this situation is. Our second caller wonders how to break a toxic cycle and change a situationship back into a friends with benefits relationship. "You're being understanding like you're his GF, but you're not his GF."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we're joined by the host of "What's Poppin? With Davis!" and influencer, Davis Burleson. In this episode, we're returning to paradise to catch up on all the latest drama and heartbreak happening on the beach! We first kick things off by diving into some Bachelor Nation Tea! We dive into Madi Prewett's mysterious veil at her wedding, the news that Kaylen and Dean are engaged, how Dean lost the first ring, and then address the swirling rumors of Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo being spotted in Rome with some insight from a certified source. We then hop right into the recap itself, kicking things off with all the love triangles. We talk about Alex returning to the beach, debating if Johnny is ready for love this time, a steamy sauna date focused on commitment, and Justin returning with his eyes set on Eliza. We talk about how Rodney being a nice person led to a miscommunication with Eliza, the women wanting the men to chase them, and Aaron's outburst in front of Wells. We also get into the gaslighting accusations, Hayden admitting to spending six figures on pet medical bills, and a squeamish Hayden on a zipline date with Kate. We also talk about Michael A rooting for couples to stay together, fireworks being used to mess with people, Genevieve pitching a perfect game, and the twins returning to the beach in (unintentionally) matching outfits. We also give some predictions on what the rest of the season holds, when everything and anything can happen. "Do I like them or are they just checking boxes?"

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're back again to bring on our callers and help give them advice as they navigate relationships and situationships. We kick things off by catching up on "Dating with Ali" and discussing whether or not people have a favorite ex and if you have to call someone from a situationship an ex as well. We then bring on our callers! First, we talk with someone who recently ended a relationship of two years because her boyfriend never introduced her to his parents. With other situations where her boyfriend was never willing to be emotionally vulnerable, she wonders if there is a way to properly get closure and let him know that she still cares for him. Our next caller is struggling with her current girlfriend being super close friends with her ex-fiancée. Feeling that pet names aren't typically platonic, our caller wonders how to clearly state her discomfort to her girlfriend, who seems offended that our caller has an issue with this friendship. Our last caller caught her boyfriend snapchatting tons of women on his phone. After our caller is directly messaged by a girl that supposedly slept with this man, our caller wonders how to move on from this situation. "Don't expect them to love you the way you want to be loved" If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by celebrity hairstylist, Laura Rugetti. We're here to switch things up a bit and dive into recapping Season 3 of Love Is Blind, breaking down all the drama and crazy moments in this new season! Before breaking down Love Is Blind, we get into some pop culture news. We first remember Leslie Jordan and all he brought to the world, then we get the latest updates on James Corden's feud with a NY restaurant, we then break down a mysterious IG post from Bridget Moynahan throwing shade to Tom Brady's marriage. Then we get to the recap, debating if Love Is Blind feels more authentic than The Bachelor, Bartise flirting with Raven after meeting everyone else, and the men acting like they deserve a medal for dating someone they were immediately physically attracted to. Then we talk about the men being obsessed with ballerina dancers, the Andrew eyedrop controversy, and Raven refusing to eat in the style of SK's family tradition. We also talk about Cole's 'I don't like you when you're mad' comment, Brennon and Alexa bonding over having different upbringings, Zanab needing to have more confidence, Colleen seeming like she chases FBoys, the fight between Matt and Colleen, Bartiste fishing for compliments, and an intense conversation typically not aired on TV. We then bring on two texting office hour callers! Our first caller has trouble dealing with the fallout of a breakup with a FBoy, bringing a friend on with her to get advice from Nick on how to navigate moving on. After revealing an emotional letter she sent him, she learns to find the fun in dating again and how to approach dates from a positive mindset. We then bring on our second caller who wants to shoot her shot with a guy she went on one date with two years ago, now that she's single. Now she has to decide if the most convenient option isn't always the best. "He only gives compliments to receive them back!"

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we're going back to paradise by recapping this week's episode with singer, songwriter, and actress, Natasha Bure. The group first discusses The Tea, covering Casey's broken foot, the overall reaction to Tino's interview, Sierra's TikTok shade moment, and the difference between exploring a connection and leading someone on. They also cover Lace's realness, whether you can only "leave" (or lead?) with your heart, the intimacy of touching someone's head, and what Jacob possibly meant by having a "real romantic connection." Nick gives his opinion on Danielle and Michael's love language (aka napping), where one draws the line between dating and f*ckboy behavior, the power of being coy with your words, and how the group would react if they were forced to interact with someone who hated them without knowing them directly. They then close out with Victoria's checklist conversation and predict who they think she might choose in the end.

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we're back to bring on our callers to help them through the crazy world of modern dating! Our first caller is interested in dating her ex's best friend, after showing interest when talking at a bar. After spending the night together, and this guy fluctuating in his level of commitment, our caller wonders if this man is serious when he said he would risk his friendship, or if he's a 50 year old f*ckboy that doesn't know what he actually wants. Our next caller is on the verge of fully committing to a long distance relationship with a musician. With a lot of positive signs, our caller wonders if she can formulate a healthy long distance relationship while remembering that you can't cheat a genuine connection with FaceTime. Our last caller is looking for advice on updating her dating app profile to be more appealing. With a refresh of the pictures and a new approach for openers, will she feel ready to go back to take on the dating world? "Enjoy being excited without getting ahead of yourself."

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Tino Franco to hear him tell us all about his experience on the last season of The Bachelorette and the devastating situation that led to heartbreak with Rachel. We kick things off with a bit of Pop Culture Hot Goss, talking about Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber being photographed together at the Academy Museum Gala, and reacting to the concept of surprise weddings, talking about Robert Kraft's ceremony. We then welcome in Tino, to answer all of your burning questions after his AFR appearance and breakup with Rachel Recchia. Tino tells all as we check-in by asking how's his heart, what made him fall in love with Rachel, and if he believes in the phrase "once a cheater, always a cheater." We also get into how they handled the pressures of a public relationship, his thoughts on AFR, and what challenges began to arise in their love together. We then get into it by having Tino break down the incident, explain why he cheated, and talk about how he told Rachel. We talk about insecurity leading to desire, why Tino didn't come clean sooner, and how Rachel reacted after hearing the full truth. We then get into the house confrontation, if Tino knew there would be cameras, and if Tino genuinely feels regret for cheating. We then talk about Tino being remorseful, what he's done since the breakup, and how getting help with his mental health has been a huge step for him. After that, we tackle your burning questions about the ring conversation, what Tino's purpose of the journal was, if Tino heard from Aven after AFR aired, and if Tino is still in love with Rachel. "I let her down by having my insecurities run wild."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! In this episode, we're going back to paradise again, breaking down and recapping the two episodes of Bachelor In Paradise released this week. We're joined by Natalie Joy and Keaton Milburn to help us dive into the latest suntanned drama on this season of Bachelor in Paradise! On this episode we kick things off by getting into some Bachelor Nation Tea, talking about Rachel making an appearance on the Off The Vine Podcast where she gives some life updates and reflects on the Aven situation, Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan going Instagram Official again, and Clare Crawley giving her open thoughts about her fiancé Ryan Dawkins. We then get into the episode itself, opening with Peter and Brittany going on a date that did not end well, talking about how Peter has some fighting words, and Casey fainting. We also debate if Danielle's relationship feels forced, Victoria serving as the voice of reason this season, and the shocking announcement that the women on the beach would be leaving temporarily, leading to a lot of shock and tears. We talk about Jill's breakdown, Kate breaking her promise to not step on toes, Jacob hiding that he's being a f*ckboy by acting goofy, and being naked and howling at the moon. We also talk about the guys' extreme workout routines, if giving your rose to someone fun or loyal is better, and Lace being aware that she was getting set up for heartbreak. We also talk about Tyler not getting much attention despite being Thor's body double, Tantric Yoga, the ethics of shopping dates, and not getting a kiss goodbye. "We howled at the moon together and you're gonna kiss someone else!"

Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we're here again to bring on our callers and help them by giving them advice as they navigate the dating world and other relationships. We bring on our first caller who is adopted and is having issues trying to form an adult relationship with her birth mother. After her biological mom starts displaying toxic energy and jealousy towards the caller's adopted parents, she wonders how she can best go about facilitating a relationship with the person that gave birth to her. We then bring on our second caller who is having issues after her boyfriend went through her phone while she was sleeping, revealing that in the past she was a sugar baby. Surprised by this discovery, the boyfriend doesn't seem as engaged or happy in the relationship. Our caller wonders how to approach talking to her boyfriend about loving her for all of her and not judging her past. We then bring on our last caller who is dating a guy that went on a reality TV show. Now that the show is coming out and it seems like this guy is getting an edit that makes him look really bad, our caller wonders how to react to it all, especially after seeing him have some negative traits with bad communication.

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 to get an update on how she is doing, finding herself stuck in a FWB situation. Changing their relationship to a friendship, our caller wonders if this can truly be a Platonic situation or if lingering feelings will serve as a problem. Our next caller gives an update after feeling burnt out and frustrated in the current situation she was in. Finding the confidence in herself to leave the situationship, she's now dating a new guy that makes her feel like her best self. Our next caller was having a tough time dealing with her mother-in-law and the drama she created. Finding a lot of insight in Nick's advice, our caller learns to try to implement the principle of having a relationship with her, without enabling her bad behavior. Our last caller was from a texting office hour, where we got an update on her wanting to shoot her shot with a guy from her gym. Will she find success or heartbreak by asking this guy out? We then get some email updates from past callers! We read off updates about attending multiple weddings, moving in, and a dog custody battle.
