The Viall Files

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Host, Podcaster, and Bachelor Nation's own, Wells Adams! On this episode we dive deep with Wells and talk to him about being engaged for years because Covid caused wedding delays, the biggest joys and stresses in planning a wedding, the scoop on the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise, and Wells' new cooking show on Hulu about pizza. We then spill the tea on some pop culture topics and break down the Pete and Kim breakup, Kanye's controversial meme, and who we think Pete should date next. We also talk about Frank Ocean selling a c*ckring for $25,000, if body count matters, and Jennifer Coolidge getting a lot of action after her role in American Pie. We then welcome on our Texting Office Callers to help give them advice with formulating a message. Our first caller worries about a guy that seems to have ghosted her, wondering if a potentially awkward situation while hooking up may have led him to lose interest. Now she wonders if him being judgmental may be a red flag. Our next caller wonders if she should try to repair the relationship with her boyfriend's brother after the brother sends our caller an apology two years after a fight. Seemingly like he's done work to improve himself, she wonders if it's worth having the conversations to restore the relationship and how she can get more support from her boyfriend in this situation. "He gives hope to a lot of skinny funny guys!"

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by actor, writer, host, and Bachelor superfan, Dave Holmes! On this episode we kick things off by digging into some tea from Bachelor Nation. We react to Michelle Young saying she's happier since the breakup in her last Instagram post, the Madison Prewett proposal where she was told it would happen 30 minutes before, a recent interview where in reaction to the new Bachelorette format Gabby said that she wouldn't let anyone pit her against Rachel, and updates on Aaron Rodgers and his family. We then get into reacting to the episode itself, picking up from last week's cliffhanger of Logan, how Logan has proved he's on the show for the right reasons, and how Nate seems like the right choice for the next Bachelor. We also talk about how Rachel has had a rough episode with canceling the group date, how she's making the same mistakes that Clayton made, and how the two Bachelorettes handle rejection and disappointment differently. We also talk about the guys that are setting themselves up for heartbreak, who is the most divisive contestant, and how they're going to handle hometowns. "She's making the same mistakes Clayton did."

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode we bring on our listeners to help give them answers to their questions! Our first caller rides the line of navigating a situationship when she gets rejected after asking her friends with benefits to hangout outside of the bedroom. Catching feelings and feeling like this guy is only in it for the sex, our caller wonders how to deal, when his fantasies are about sex and hers are about romance. Our next caller has admitted to having feelings to her long term guy friend. Now she has to embrace the uncertainty to shoot her shot. Our last caller has been in a great relationship with her boyfriend but starts to question everything knowing that she'll be taking an internship in Italy for 6 months. Now she wonders if it's worth embracing this next chapter by being single in Europe or if she should still explore and grow while staying in a relationship. "Stop worrying about accumulating exes."

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by TikToker, reality TV star, and former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, Holly Madison! On this episode we dive into talking about the release of the new documentary Holly is in about the Playboy Mansion, reflecting on her time living there, and learning to find healthy love after leaving Hefner. We also talk about what bothered her most with her portrayal on Girls Next Door, finding support within friendship despite Hefner creating drama between the women, and finding agency in your sexuality. We also jump into some pop culture topics such as the drama between Jojo Siwa and Candace Cameron Bure, what celebrities owe you in fan interactions, Will Smith's attempt at an apology, Ne-Yo's cheating drama, and luxury retreats couples are going to in order to save their relationships. We then welcome on two Texting Office Hours Callers. Our first caller is a fitness trainer who shoots her shot on a man she's teaching via a post-it note. With him flaking and moving away soon, she wonders if she should give it one more chance before moving on. Our next caller is interested in two guys, worrying that she may have ruined a date with one by only having limited time. Now she must come to terms with modern dating and realize that she may be on a roster and he may have lost interest for a reason not of her doing. "When we're frustrated, we want our partners to read our minds."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined by journalist and Bachelor Fan, Elizabeth Wagmeister! On this episode we kick things off by diving into some Bachelor Nation drama and news. We talk about the status of Tyler Cameron's friendship with Matt James and how there may have been drama with Rachel K, a possibility of missing a book release, how much love is in a love hate situation, and pressures of being single when your friend is in a steady relationship. We also dive into breaking down this action packed episode of The Bachelorette, with moments of heartbreak, honesty, and nicknames. We talk about Jacob and Hayden apologizing in reaction to last week's episode, Hayden saying disrespectful things while still mic'd up on the show, and how the format has led to more realistic depiction of modern dating that has resulted in a lot more rejection. We also talk about the best types of dates on the show, Rachel and Gabby genuinely having fun in a private conversation, potential proposals in Paris, and how Logan switching sides may lead to heartbreak but may also lead to everyone being more honest about their emotions. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The road to the villain edit is made the same way."

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode we take on even more of your burning questions in order to help you deal with relationships. We welcome our first caller who has been dating her boyfriend for over three years, feeling like things are at a bit of a standstill, with him not popping the question. Now she needs help with learning how to communicate better, especially after finding some interesting things on his YouTube watch history. Our next caller is stuck in a sticky situation with increasing pressures of her upcoming wedding, wondering who to invite when she's having a small wedding and seats are limited. Now she struggles with how to navigate her boss assuming that he'll be able to bring his new girlfriend as a plus one and talking about it behind her back. Our last caller wonders what to do when a guy she's casually dated moves to Germany for a new job, inviting her to come out. But now that she has the tickets, he's completely ghosted her. Now she wonders if she should reach out one more time or still go and try to have a great time on her own. "You being right doesn't necessarily matter."

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Actress and Musician Hayley Orrantia. You'll recognize her from The Goldbergs! On this episode we dive deep with our guest talking about what it's like to be on one show for almost a decade, how the LA karaoke scene is like nothing else, and how relationships that ended poorly aren't a waste of time. We then talk about how Hayley and her fiancé bonded over dating sociopaths, how forcing yourself to deal with heartbreak is better than ignoring it, and continuing to learn about the person you're dating even after the honeymoon phase ends. We also cover the Emily Ratajkowski cheating scandal and dive in to present the narrative of why people cheat and why the person cheated on should never feel at fault. We also talk about the Rejection Challenge, why exposing yourself to "no" can make you a more dynamic person, and the controversy with Drake airdropping a picture he took of a woman to her. We then welcome on two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller wonders what to do after being ghosted after an amazing first date. She asks how to cut through the noise and learn that this "perfect guy" may actually be a f*ckboy hiding in plain sight. Our next caller wants help in drafting a text to respond to a guy she feels treated her poorly by constantly not making her a priority. Now she has to learn that she shouldn't be focusing on making a guy from her past feel bad when she's already happy in a relationship. "He's not even pretending to be a f*ckboy!"

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelorette Recap Edition! Today we are back with another episode, joined again today by New York Times Bestselling Author, Podcaster, and mental health advocate, Allison Raskin! On this episode we kick things off by getting the latest in Bach Nation news; talking about Nayte's recent big move to Los Angeles and becoming roommates with Rodney, a recent paparazzi photoshoot of Tyler Cameron and Paige Lorenze in NYC, plus Nick's worst paparazzi moments. We then dive into recapping the episode itself! We talk about how Gabby and Rachel are handling getting both devotion and rejection from the guys, how every season challenges your insecurities, and how to manage when half the guys are not there for you. We talk about how Mario blew his chance by exploring too much, how some of the guys may flip teams from one lead to the other, and how it's a miracle Hayden is still in the game after a rough night. We also dive into Gabby breaking the mold of surface level fairytales by getting real about not having the love of her mom, and on the other hand, how some people are finding "deep" connections over the fact that their fathers would drive them to the airport. "Getting clarity isn't the end of the world."

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Again we welcome you, our listeners, to give you advice on all your relationships and situationship in the crazy world of dating, friends, and family. Our first caller struggles to maintain relationships with her family because of her mother's extreme mental health issues. After overhearing a conversation, she wonders how to process and deal with a parent's frustration and how to draw the lines between being accepting of a situation and also having boundaries and respect for herself. Our next caller wonders how to manage a Type-A guy she's dating that can only get dates with him when he pencils her into his busy schedule. Now with questions about a mysterious exclusive rock climbing club he's in, and the fact that they've only dated for four months, she wonders if it's best to just move on. Our last caller is placed in the middle of family drama when her mom wants the caller to uninvite her aunt from her wedding. Now, she wonders how to set boundaries with her mother without hurting her relationship. "If it feels weird, it probably is."

Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by star of The One That Got Away, Jeff Perla. On this episode we welcome on Jeff to dive into his experience on the show, get the tea on who he left the show with, and how the producers dug up people from his past. We also talk about if it's worth it to explore missed connections, the contestants Jeff loved and hated the most on the show, and doing body shots for a dollar at brunch. We also talk about coming out when you're an adult, and how sometimes reopening a connection can bring a lot of emotional weight. We also dive into some pop culture topics such as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting married after years of being apart, Chris Evans announcing that he's ready for love and will be putting all his energy into it, and the Tristan Thompson -Khloe Kardashian situation with people commenting on her dating choices. We then welcome on TWO Texting Office Hours Callers. Our first caller wants to formulate a text to help find a reason for her to travel to see a guy that lives far away from her. Knowing that they've hit it off in the past, she learns to be direct and learn that it's better to ask for what you want rather than chase. Our next caller wonders what to do when someone she's been hooking up with begins to ask very strange personal questions regarding her and the future. Now she wonders if she should play the game and send a semi-snarky text or move on from this hookup. "Don't chase a man during Summer."
