Ep 531E531 Bachelor Recap w/ Ariana Madix | The Viall Files w/ Nick Viall
EWelcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We're back to break down night one of Zach's season, from the limo entrances to a meltdown at dawn. This week we're joined by Ariana Madix of Vanderpump Rules, who gives us some Season 10 teases before jumping into the episode. Zach gets some advice from Sean Lowe before 30 women join him at the mansion, including Christina in a party bus and Mercedes walking a pig. The five women from the live show return to see Zach again, and Brianna is hoping to add a first impression rose from Zach to the one already in her hand. Who goes home before the rose ceremony, and what does the season trailer imply? We talk about it all. "There's a bit of Wedding Crashers 'don't ever leave me because I'll find you' energy at the end."

Ep 530E530 Ask Nick - F*cking My Friend's Situationship
EWelcome 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."

Ep 529E529 The Engagement Episode with Natalie Joy
EWelcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Nick's fiancée Natalie Joy for a special Engagement Episode. We discuss everything from when Natalie started dropping hints, to when Nick started ring shopping, to the run of show for the proposal. Their perfect night involved a fake event, hiring actors, flying in an event planner and vinyl designer, and even Tom Hanks finding out about the proposal! Nick and Natalie laugh (and cry) about their relationship and a future together. And we wrap up the episode by talking to a caller who needs to uninvite relatives from wedding dress shopping.

Ep 528E528 Bachelor Bios w/ Lisa Schwartz.
EWelcome 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! Before getting into the bios, we talk about The Chainsmokers having threesomes with fans, along with discovering a new passion or career later in life. 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. Finally, Nick makes a prediction about Zach ending up with an older woman! "Her special talent is sounding like a dolphin. Well, I wouldn't call that special."

Ep 527E527 Ask Nick - I Think My Parents Are Swingers
EWelcome 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 reveals his plans to propose to Natalie and how he's going to pop the question! We also get the latest update from Amanda's break-up song of the week and respond to some listener feedback regarding the recent advice given on an episode of Ask Nick. We then get into our callers! Our first caller has reason to suspect her parents are in a polyamorous relationship and she is wondering how to address it with them. While she respects their choices, she's hoping to stop them from actively being bad at sneaking around behind her back when she visits. Our next caller met a DJ who goes through a cycle of hooking her in with intense messages but then ghosts her. With this trend repeating, our caller wonders how to uncloud her judgment. Our final caller feels her partner is being hypocritical and setting up double standards in the relationship and wants to know how she can get him to realize what he's doing. While she fully trusts her partner having his ex in her life, her partner doesn't bestow the same trust in our frustrated caller. Our caller worries about how they can progress their relationship when in reality, even after two years, he doesn't fully trust her. "Your ego is being a bad bouncer" If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Ep 526E526 Going Deeper with Justin Baldoni Plus Prince Harry, The Menu, and Death
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actor, director, producer, speaker, and entrepreneur, Justin Baldoni! Before getting into the interview, we break down Prince Harry's 60 Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper and the aftermath of his appearance. We reflect on feeling empathy for Harry, worried if he's opened too many cans of worms, donating to charity with money that isn't yours, and acting out after repressing everything for years. We then break down the movie "The Menu" and get into the film's depiction of death and debating if an afterlife exists. We then bring on Justin for his interview, talking about insecurity, interfacing with masculinity, learning from your father, and the importance of young boys learning emotional intelligence. We also talk about the difference between acceptance and accountability, writing about being enough, combatting the feeling of directionlessness, how men can truly be vulnerable, and raising a son with empathy in mind. We also bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who after learning that she was cheated on, takes extreme public measures. Recognizing she may have been toxic, our caller wonders how to best move forward from the situation. We then close by talking about what makes Nick and Justin cry. "No one told me I was enough."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap: Bios Edition! Today we are joined by Elise Guilfoyle and Keaton Milbourne to dive into the contestant bios of Zach's upcoming season of The Bachelor! Before getting to the bios, we bring on True Crime expert, Keaton, to share some recently released information about the Idaho Murders, giving insights from the 18-page affidavit. We also get into some Bachelor Tea, reacting to Chris Harrison's new podcast episodes, and a current contestant that hard-launched her divorce by announcing that she was going on this season of The Bachelor. We then dive into part one of the contestant bios! We talk about everyone describing themselves as a full package, if being picky about broccolini is a red flag, the pros and cons of teleportation, and Ali's fear of fish. We also talk about how Cat seems like a reckless driver, and dive into collecting porcelain dolls. We also name our current faves from the first half and give our predictions of who will land in the top four! "I'm the full package!"

Ep 524E524 Ask Nick - Meet-Cute on the Car Lot
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here again to bring on our callers and help them navigate the world of dating, relationships, and situationships! Before getting to our callers, Ali gives an update about meeting someone in her improv class, we talk about our upcoming new show, and we get into Amanda's breakup song of the week! We then get into our callers! Our first caller is struggling with her boyfriend not doing a lot of the things she wants him to do, inside the bedroom and out. She wonders how to approach the subject of getting him to do more and if they may just not be compatible. Our next caller started dating her car salesman, worried that this may end up being a situationship waiting to happen. Our last caller wonders what to do after seeing that the guy she's been dating for a month has received messages from his ex. Panicking and asking him to define the relationship afterwards, and him reacting poorly, she wonders if she was overreacting to a situation or if these are genuine red flags she should be worried about. "He ghosted you on Christmas when you had plans?"

Ep 523E523 Going Deeper with Dr. Maya Shankar - Keeping New Year's Resolutions With Science
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by cognitive scientist and creator of A Slight Change In Plans, Dr. Maya Shankar. Before getting into the interview, we first get a quick update on GMA's TJ and Amy's relationship status, the recent info released about the Idaho murders, Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper getting banned from drinking on New Year's Eve, and speculate on what they hope to learn from Anderson Cooper's upcoming interview with Prince Harry. We then dig deep with Dr. Maya Shankar, talking about the best ways to set and hold yourself to New Year's Resolutions. We talk about framing goals to be motivating and if it's better to start something or quit something.. We also discuss the "empathy gap" between your present self and future self, and integrating slack into your goals. Dr. Shankar explains what she learned from having parents in a successful arranged marriage, the science of quitting, and why it's important to tolerate boredom when structuring goals. We also talk about using novel experiences to break patterns in a relationship, and how "temptation funneling" can help you accomplish your goals. We then welcome our Texting Office Hours caller who recently matched with someone on Hinge who is extremely allergic to dogs. Our caller, having a dog herself, wonders if this is a dealbreaker or if she should try to give this guy a chance. "How would a cognitive scientist write their wedding vows?"

Ep 522E522 Freestyle with Heath Hussar - Nepo Babies, Breaking Bad Habits, and The Best Singers Of All Time
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Freestyle Edition! Today we are joined by former Viner, YouTuber, podcaster, and entrepreneur, Heath Hussar. In our first recording of the new year, we start off with some Bachelor Tea, getting into Tyler Cameron and Kristin Cavalleri spending New Year's Eve together, placing bets if they will become official or not, Michelle Young's "leave no crumbs" comment, and talking about a reality TV crossover where Susie Evans called into a dating podcast that Cole from Love Is Blind Season 3 was a guest. We then end Bachelor Tea by talking about Rachel Lindsey expressing that she will not go on Chris Harrison's new podcast, but that if Chris was willing to go on her podcast, she would be down to talk. We then get into talking about New Year's Resolutions, whether it's easier to stop a bad habit than it is to start a new one, and how Heath quit smoking. We then get into the conversations around broadcasters drinking on air during the New Year's Eve shows, and then dive deep into the nepo baby discourse surrounding the release of the infamous New York Mag cover. We then discuss Celine Dion being left off of the Rolling Stones' "200 Greatest Singers of All Time" list, and share some airport stories before jumping into Texting Office Hours. We're then joined by a caller whose friend has recently started dating her ex-boyfriend. Worried about the situation and the safety of her friend given some past situations, our caller wonders how involved she should be in giving advice and potentially stopping this relationship.

Ep 521E521 Ask Nick - Flirting with a Questionable Character
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We want to wish you a very Happy New Year and say thank you for watching! On this show, we bring on our callers to give advice about the world of dating. Before getting to our callers, we dive into talking about being pickier on dating apps and testing the waters with a Facetime date. We then bring on our first caller, who after reconnecting with a past girlfriend, finds out that she's already dating someone. Even after seeing red flags everywhere, knowing that she's being suspicious, he still continues talking to her, wondering at this point if he should cut things off or not ask too many questions. Our next caller is wondering whether she should have her mom, who she is closest to, walk her down the aisle instead of her dad. Knowing that her dad can take things personally, she worries that she may be ending a relationship by going with her mom. Our last caller is wondering what to do after she finds old friends coming out of the woodwork after getting engaged. Now, our caller wonders how to deal with a friendship that's changed and, while important, is no longer a priority. "Spoiler alert: I think about you a lot."

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. So let's end the year by getting some last updates from our callers! We bring on our first caller from who originally called in for advice after breaking up with her boyfriend for his refusal to introduce our caller to his family. Getting back together with some red flags still present, our caller wonders how to navigate getting back together with your ex. We then get an update from our caller who wanted to shoot her shot with someone she went on a date with in the past, after this guy is leaving breadcrumbs of interest. We then get an update from our caller who appeared on our episode with Victoria and Greg.

Ep 519E519 Ask Nick - Deadbeat Dad Energy
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here again to bring on our callers and help them navigate the world of relationships and situationships. We kick things off by hearing about Ali's unconventional travel hacks, an update from improv class, and Amanda revealing the break-up song of the week! After debating if it's worse to be cheated on or fallen out of love with, we bring on our callers. Our first caller is debating if she should break off her engagement with her fiancé, despite having a child with him. With this man not fulfilling her needs as both a partner and a father to her child, she wonders if it's worth it to move on. Our next caller has been single for three years and recently feeling lonely, is reflecting on a breakup from years ago. With her ex appearing in her dreams, she wonders how to detach from these feelings and hope for a brighter future.

Ep 518E518 Harry and Meghan Recap with Chloe Bale Plus Royals Expert Michelle Tauber
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actress Chloe Bale as we recap the final three episodes of the Harry and Meghan Netflix series, finishing Volume Two! After catching up with Chloe about everything she has had going on in her life, we have Michelle Tauber, the senior editor overseeing Royals coverage at People, join the episode via Zoom. We dive into talking about how the tone felt different in this volume, Henry's trauma from the loss of Princess Diana, how the media scene compares to the paparazzi in LA, the theatrical language the royals use, King Charles' thoughts on the situation, and the never complain and never explain mentality embedded in the royal family. We also get into having more empathy after this series, trying to fix family issues in the public eye, growing up being the "spare" of the family, conflicts in emotional intelligence, Meghan and Harry's expectations of releasing a tell-all, and where we think things will go from here. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller, who is seeking help in getting dumped by her brother's best friend. After feeling a hard time trusting this man in her interactions with him after the breakup, our caller wonders the best way to move on. "Never complain, never explain!"

Ep 516E516 Ask Nick - I Want a Tattoo to Memorialize My Ex
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here again to answer your questions and to take your calls as we navigate the world of situationships. Our first caller is thinking about dating her boss' brother after meeting him at a work party. With an age-gap, him displaying f-boy tendencies, and some questionable texts, she wonders if he's worth the pursuit. Our next caller recently got out of a two year relationship and wants to memorialize her ex by possibly getting a tattoo of his initials so that she never forgets how she felt while in the relationship. Our last caller is unhappy being stuck living with her boyfriend at her father's house after feeling like a temporary situation may be permanent. Feeling like it's an issue with his worth ethic, she wonders how long she should support her boyfriend's ambitions to become a Twitch streamer, while her father actively disapproves of this man's career choice.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by author, playwright, and entertainment executive, Tara Schuster! We start things off by talking about gratitude, dealing with your family over the holidays, AI-generated art, and if robots will take over the world. We then get into the recap itself, diving into the first volume of episodes, covering episodes one through three of Harry and Meghan! We get into the recap, talking about getting really invested because of this documentary and understanding why England cares so much about the crown. We talk about Harry being sensitive because of his mother, Harry addressing his past mistakes in a genuine way, discerning if some of Meghan's statements are genuine or not, and analyzing Harry and Meghan's first few dates. We get into wanting more dirt, questioning if you should profit off the brand of the Royal Family, and how this documentary compares to the Oprah interview. We then wonder why they're making a tell all, the media's focus on Meghan's family, and getting into the situation with Meghan's father. We also talk about being high character in a low character environment, trying to do good with the privilege you have, and working to heal your wounds. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who is struggling after getting ghosted by a friend of ten years over a small miscommunication. After recognizing this is a repeating pattern, she wonders the best way to establish a new system of communication in order to form a relationship that isn't about trying to win. We then close by talking about Tara's upcoming book! "We're above this, but here's the tea."

We also talk about Katie Holmes' throwback denim and dress outfit, and also talk about people using AI to create profile pictures. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who wonders how to navigate communicating expectations after having to get an emergency contraceptive from a hook-up.

Ep 513E513 Ask Nick - Blindsided Into Meeting Dad's Mistress
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We're here once again, to bring on our callers and help them navigate the crazy world of dating. We start things off before our callers by talking about a romantic Hanukkah Party, if ranch is good, and how Amanda practiced woodworking as a child. First, we speak with someone who was blindsided into meeting her dad's mistress at Thanksgiving and is wondering how to break a toxic cycle she has with her dad. Then, we speak with our caller whose sister is dating our caller's old hookup from a few years ago. Now that he's coming to family functions and causing tension between our caller and her current boyfriend, our caller wonders what to do. The more the story unfolds, the more our caller realizes it's simply a matter of trust and jealousy and that she really needs to put her foot down. Finally, we speak with a caller who is in a nonsexual situationship with her roommate's brother. They've gone on a date, and really like each other, but he seems to have pulled back in their communication after having spoken with his sister. She's wondering if how she is communicating with him is needy behavior and whether or not she's already gotten the answer she thinks she's looking for. "It's your job to trust me."

Ep 505E505 Ask Nick - You Don't Need to be Happy for Them
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 them navigate the world of dating. Before getting to our callers, the group talks about avoiding burnout, Ali shares about her first date, and Amanda announces this week's break-up song, with a couple of honorable mentions in preparation for the upcoming Turkey Dump. We then get into it, welcoming our first caller, who is planning to visit a hook-up overseas. She wants to have fun and keep it casual while also getting to know the deal on if things will be moving to the next level. Is it worth having the awkward conversation and possibly ruining the vacation? Next, our next caller needs advice on how to get over a secret situationship from within her friend group that has recently ended, after the guy started dating his ex, who is still in this group. With nobody in the group knowing about the previous situationship, our caller wonders if she should feel pressured to keep the secret and how she can properly move on. Lastly, we speak with a caller who decided she wanted more from a guy she thought she was casually dating. When she told him she'd been dating other people but wanted to be exclusive with him, he responded by acting confused and not knowing if he wanted to commit or not. Is there such a thing as the right guy at the wrong time, or are they simply just not communicating expectations effectively? "Is this helping me heal?"

Ep 503E503 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Jake Miller
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! On this episode, we're joined by singer, songwriter, and Bachelor Fan, Jake Miller, as we return to paradise to recap the latest of the love, the heartbreak, and the drama. On this episode, after talking about Jake's proposal, we kick things off first by getting into some Bachelor Nation tea. We talk about Rachel entering the dating world again, and we also break down Jesse Palmer's statements about the upcoming season, with Zach feeling like a throwback. We then get into recapping the two episodes themselves, starting off with the aftermath of Rodney's emotional exit, Brandon's questioning of love, and then breaking down Eliza's trip to Baltimore to pursue Justin. We talk about how valid Justin's statements are, if he would pursue Eliza after the show, and if he was just trying to win in the moment. We also talk about how everyone is talking about wanting to be picked this season, Mara's explosive entrance, and Johnny opening up about his family problems. We dive more into Kate's statements regarding Logan, what her requests for him to do more actually mean, and a surprise entrance by Gabby and Rachel to shake up some drama. We talk about if Kate actually needed to be "saved" from Logan, whether or not Genevieve and Aaron are truly compatible, and the drama behind the itch versus pain argument. We close out with the Sadie Hawkins Dance from Hell, with Jessenia trying to get closure from Andrew, Ency attempting to intervene in them talking, Andrew admitting his heart is still with Teddi, and the departure of Jessenia, Andrew, and Ency from the show.

Ep 502E502 Ask Nick - My Mom Leaked My Pregnancy
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 give advice about dating and relationships. On this episode, we bring on our first caller who is having trouble when her mom wants her to post about her pregnancy, while the caller wants to keep it private for the time being. Our caller tries to get advice about the best way to communicate with her mother, and not succumb to the pressure of what her family wants. Our next caller is currently stuck in a situationship with a man 15 years older than her. Feeling like she's more mature than this guy, she wonders how to communicate that he's not capable of giving her what she wants in a relationship. Our last caller feels like the other woman after finding out that the guy lost his last girlfriend in a car accident. With this guy still calling his late girlfriend his girlfriend, our caller wonders how to help this man move through grief and if instead she should actually move on to let him mourn on his own terms.

Ep 496E496 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Davis Burleson
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.

Ep 495E495 Ask Nick - Do You Want a Project or Do You Want a Boyfriend?
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: [email protected] Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to [email protected] to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Ep 494E494 Going Deeper - Love Is Blind Recap with Laura Rugetti
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!"

Ep 493E493 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Natasha Bure
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.

Ep 492E492 Ask Nick - You Can't Cheat A Connection
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."

Ep 491E491 Going Deeper - Tino Franco Speaks
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.

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.

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?

Ep 487E487 Going Deeper With Kit Keenan - F*ckBoy Dating, Plus Powercouples: Tom & Gisele/Adam & Behati
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by model, fashion designer, entrepreneur, and Bach Nation star, Kit Keenan. On this episode, we catch up with Kit and ask her about her dating life, the importance of setting expectations with communication, and how anyone in hookup culture can be guilty of becoming a f*ckboy. We also talk about how you can start a relationship knowing that it isn't for forever, if it's better to have a roster or one person when casually dating, and how your parent's relationship can serve both as a standard and a pressure. We then get into some pop culture news, laying out the updates on the developing drama and divorce rumors between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, and dive into speculations of Adam Levine's relationship dynamic with his wife, Behati, after he acknowledges the DMs but denies that he was having an affair. We then bring on our two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller wonders if she can lock in a date with a guy her aunt scouted out for her at a wedding. Never meeting this guy in real life, she wonders if she should be bold and take a chance with this man. Our next caller matched on a dating app with her first kiss and first boyfriend from 15 years ago. Focused on what their relationship used to be, she has to learn to ask better questions to understand how this guy has changed in the past 15 years from what she used to date.

Ep 486E486 Bachelor In Paradise Recap w/ Bri Springs
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor In Paradise Edition! We're back with another episode, joined by Bri Springs of Bachelor Nation, to break down the latest episode of this season! We kick things off by getting into some Bach Nation Tea, breaking down the Justin and Kira drama where Justin called out Kira for not seeing her at Stagecoach, Kira's clapback that they hangout, and breaking down Teddi's post reflecting on her departure from this season, where she calls this environment cruel and one that crossed her boundaries. We then get into the episode itself, where we get into what could've made Teddi stay, Rodney and Justin's risky pickup lines, Rodney and Lace having an unexpected romance, and Aaron acting like a baby instead of taking accountability. We also talk about Genevieve and Shanae acting like a group of mean girls towards Sally, the missed opportunity to make Brandon the next Bachelor, and Brandon's authentic emotional approach to dating. We also talk about Sierra and Michael navigating what taking things slow means, how people can tell if you're interested based on how you phrase things, and the real reason why more guys aren't courting Brittany. We also talk about the guys being overly concerned about the edit they'll get, knowing when it's your turn to leave the show, and Peter having bad role models. We also talk about Jacob using humor as a mask, Ashley and Jared farting in bed, Casey doing nothing on the beach, and exploring who would go on the naked date.

Ep 485E485 Ask Nick - Emotionally Unavailable Or A Jerk?
Welcome back to another juicy and exciting episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this show, we're here again to help you navigate through the crazy world of dating, relationships, and situationships, by taking your calls and answering your questions! We bring on our first caller who wonders if she should confess the feelings she's developed for her brother's best friend after flirting with him. Now that this guy says he no longer has a girlfriend, our caller wonders if it's best to be direct, asking him out to get an answer to the question of if he's actually interested in something more than a flirt. Our next caller joins and asks for advice about what to do after her best friend seems to have ghosted her. Struggling with what seems to be the death of a friendship, our caller wonders if she should reach out or just try to move on, finding a healthy new chapter in her life. Our last caller feels that she isn't getting the emotional support she needs from her consistent monogamous friends with benefits she's been seeing for over a year, with this guy giving very unsupportive and disengaged responses when our caller reveals that her mom is in the late stages of cancer. Feeling the desire to focus on her family and move on, she wonders if all jerks are replaceable. "He 'customer serviced' you!"

Ep 484E484 Going Deeper With Jason Alabaster - Tells All, Try Guys Drama Plus Brad & Leo Dating Stories
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we have a very exciting episode where we welcome on Jason Alabaster from this last season of The Bachelorette! First off, we dive into some hot goss on all things pop culture, talking about Lil Nas X delaying a show because of stomach issues, the scandalous cheating situation involving Ned from The Try Guys, and Emily Ratajkowski hanging out with Brad Pitt after her recently getting cheated on by her ex. We also discuss sharing your streaming service logins and if you should kick your ex off your account if you catch them watching Game of Thrones. We then get deep with Jason, reflecting on his time on the last season of The Bachelorette! We check-in on how his heart is doing, what drove him to come on the show, and what made him initially interested in pursuing Gabby. Jason also talks about sitting by the fireplace instead of talking to people most of Night One, the pressure of potentially getting engaged to someone when you've talked for less than ten hours, and accidentally stepping on Gabby's foot. We also see where Jason is at in the healing process, his reactions to comments that he led Gabby on, and breaking up in the Fantasy Suite. We then welcome on our two Texting Office Hours callers! Our first caller feels attracted to her physical therapist and felt inspired to call into the show after hearing about our other caller that shot her shot with her chiropractor. Now she wonders about the perfect date, where she can make it romantic, but can also have an escape plan to friendzone him if things don't go well. We then bring on our next caller who left the possibility of being friends with her ex after they broke up. Now that her ex wants to reconnect, and with him sending over 100 long diary entry style text messages, our caller wonders if she bit off more than she could chew and the best way to move on from someone that has an unhealthy attachment to the hope of something more. "We basically broke up in the fantasy suite."

We then get an update on Serena and Joe's relationship before we bring on Shanae from Bachelor Nation to break down her time on Clayton's season, as well as how she enjoyed her time on this season of Bachelor In Paradise! We ask her if this season is her redemption arc, what people most often misunderstand about her, how she's changed her approach from last season, and how she's doing hanging out with Genevieve. We then break down the last episode, talking about Romeo being in his f*ckboy era, how guy contestants hold the power with having the roses, and failing to read the room in multiple situations. We also talk about Teddi going home for all the wrong reasons, Justin making decisions that are the most entertaining, and his failure to communicate despite saying in an ITM that he would do his best to speak up more. We also talk about Genevieve being a producer's dream, getting to know the real Aaron, Nick's flashback cameo, and how the dynamic changes when the girls hold the roses.
