The Viall Files

We are back for another season of recapping as we jump right into the premiere episode of the new Bachelorette. On today's Bachelorette recap we are joined by journalist, host, model, and actress, Cathy Kelley! On this episode, we dive into discussing the range of limo entrances, who has the bigger firetruck, sneaking into the boys' hotel and spying, and first impressions. We also talk about who's been talking to Michelle before the show, how this feels like the first "big" season of the show since the pandemic, the underdogs of the season, and the power and impact of an impression rose. "Clayton got outshined." 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.

Today on Ask Nick we start with someone who had pre-established an end to her relationship with her partner given the fact that she would have to move soon for work. Now that the time has come she's much sadder than she expected, even more so after hearing that her partner's experience during their time together has been much different than hers and she's trying to reconcile her feelings. Next, we speak with someone whose friend group from long ago has grown apart, and she's wondering if she should try to hang on to the friendships in honor of their friend who passed away. Turns out she has some internal work to do to figure out how to be a better friend, if she decides she really wants to be one. Next, we speak with someone who is keeping her situationship on ice, but her expectations may lead her to mourning a relationship with someone she's never even dated. Lastly, we speak with someone who has developed a friendship with someone in her industry, only to realize they might be interested in more. She's not, but she's curious to learn more about them and is now realizing her curiosity might be giving off the wrong vibes. "That wasn't a conversation, he was shaming you."

Today we are joined by THE Ivan Hall, from Season 16 of the Bachelorette and this season of Bachelor in Paradise. On this episode, we let Ivan spill the tea on Paradise and explain his side on the show. We dive into talking about Ivan sneaking out to see Alexa after a producer accidentally left behind their phone, revealing that Alexa was staying down the hall from him. We also talk about who Ivan thinks is the worst person on Paradise, Ivan's interaction with Chelsea, and just how much context got cut from the final versions of episodes. Ivan tweeted that he wanted to spill the tea, and he decided to talk to us! So, we hope you enjoy our conversation with Ivan Hall! "Nick, at this point, I think I'm retired."

It's Monday and that means another edition of Ask Nick! Today we first speak with someone who was sleeping with her half-sister's not-blood cousin, and while it's now over, his side of the family knows and she's wondering if she should tell her sister. Our next caller's boyfriend has recently rekindled a friendship with another girl despite our caller's discomfort with it. Now she is trying to untangle whether it's her insecurities or if he really is fighting more for a friend than he is for their relationship. We then speak with someone who had split from her baby daddy and now after some time he wants to try again. She's not sure if he's changed but would like to try to have that family unit for their daughter and thinks maybe getting engaged is the answer. Finally, we speak with someone who is new to dating and acknowledges that her neurosis got the best of her on a date. He has since told her he doesn't feel chemistry and she would like to call the guy and tell him that she agrees and why. "Do you even like this guy, or do you just want to be liked?"

On today's episode of Ask Nick, we first pivot in the world of relationships to someone who wants to know how to navigate personal growth and how to make sure she's doing it for herself and not him. Next, we speak with someone who seems to keep attracting the wrong guys in dating. Is it her, or just some self-limiting beliefs? Finally, we speak with someone who wants clarity on her recent situationship and whether or not she was being gaslit. "It's an explanation...not a justification."

Today we are joined by TikTok star Rod Thill. Creating videos and rising to popularity during the pandemic, Rod creates videos that focus on work-from-home culture and anxiety, specifically with millennials. From popularizing the term "Cheugy", dipping into 90's nostalgia, breaking down anxieties from the workplace, and catching up on Sex in the City, Rod is unapologetically himself. In this interview we break down toxicity in the workplace, toxic masculinity, hanging out with the Bachelor crowd, and more! "If I'm working hard to make videos for 10 people, or working hard to make videos for millions, it's worth it."

On today's Bachelor Recap we are joined by both Bri Springs and Kit Keenan from the 25th season of The Bachelor. In this recap we dive into discussing meeting people outside of the show, people on the beach dipping into the DMs of past contestants, and what people are really playing the game for. We also talked about the ongoing toxic masculinity on the show, when you should have someone's back, learning that you weren't in love with someone until you're actually alone, and using therapy to process a relationship. "The first months back in reality… it's like an emotional hangover."

Today on Ask Nick, we start by speaking with someone who is having intimacy issues with her boyfriend which has led her to flirting with someone else. She wants to hear the hard truth about her behavior, but what she really needs to do is to explore why her relationship's sex life is suffering, and be honest with what she needs to do about it. Next, we speak with a guy who has recently gotten back into the dating game and is wondering how to balance his excitement without coming in too hot while also communicating his expectations for what he's looking for. Next, we speak with someone who was recently ghosted by a guy after she told him she has an STI, and is now wondering: was the STI or if she is just drawn to guys who like to leave coldly? Finally, we are joined by someone who is recently dating someone but he wants to put a label on it right away. She's not sure why, especially when his actions don't match his words, so she's wondering...is it weird? "Beware of polished people."
