Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by podcasters Sophia and Sistine Stallone, also known as The Stallone Sisters! On this episode we dive into growing up with a famous father, how having strict parents can prevent you from becoming spoiled, and Nick's love of Rocky IV. We also talk about being bullied by famous children and creating your own path. We dive into some pop culture topics and react to Kim Kardashian's recent comments about how she would eat poop if it made her look younger, Kim's brand new luxurious private jet, how airplane food always sucks, and we also discuss how saying you love someone when you're drunk can be genuine. We also dive into the effectiveness of marriage pacts, reacting to Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp's deal to tie the knot if they're both single at 40. We then welcome our Texting Office Hours caller who wonders how to get out of her cousin's wedding without hurting his feelings and without her feeling guilty.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we welcome back our listeners to give advice in their current situationships. Our first caller has been dating a guy for five months, with everything going smoothly. The only problem, he won't fully commit to being her boyfriend, and she doesn't know how to approach a situation when this guy gives effort but not labels. Our next caller struggles when she feels that her younger sister is going down a certain path that she disagrees with. She talks about how her sister has gotten tattoos and now has become a stripper. Our caller feels like she can't tell her family and wonders how she can help her sister, she is concerned is in danger, or if she's just pushing her morals onto someone else. Our last caller feels uncomfortable with her sexuality, admitting that she hasn't told her current boyfriend that she's dated a woman in the past. Now with a new girl in the picture, her emotions feel stirred up, as she struggles to come to terms with how she feels and how she should go about navigating this new situation with her current boyfriend.

Ep 428E428 Mormon Swingers, Verdict Predictions & Text Help with KP Parker
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition! Today we are joined by comedian and TikToker KP Parker to dive into the latest news in pop culture. On this episode we get into some Bachelor Nation news with Becca Kufrin proposing to Thomas Jacobs, the rocky breakup between Peter Weber and Kelley Flanagan, and Kelley's ongoing statements that Peter wasn't someone to look up to as a spouse. We also dive into the crazy drama that is Momtok and how a situation with a group of Mormon "soft swingers" ended in heartbreak and disaster when boundaries were crossed, how boundaries can lead to temptation, and how playing with fire always leaves someone burned. After that we analyze the closing statements of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Trial and predict what we think the final verdict will be, given everything we've talked about thus far! We then welcome on our Texting Office Hours caller who places too much emphasis on the first person she's dated using Hinge. She asks for help on how to not focus on keeping score and thinking about if she actually likes the guy she's seeing, or if her ego is speaking for herself. "Instagram is not a love language!"

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we bring on even more callers to answer your burning questions and give advice about your relationship struggles. We welcome our first caller who is ghosted by a guy that she loses her virginity to, revealing that the guy did not know. Now she wonders how to properly move on and what tools she can equip herself with for future dating endeavors. Our next caller is currently dating two guys, wondering how to navigate the situation and make a decision when both are promising in different ways. She wonders if her mindset may be leading to her indecisiveness and if she realized she was in a position of power, she may feel more confident to go after who she knows she wants. Our last caller talks about falling in love over FaceTime, spending hours talking to a guy who turns out to be different than how he presents himself. Now that this Facetime fairytale has been shattered, she must learn to not accept less than what she deserves just because she's getting validated by a guy.

VIGILANTE IS AVAILABLE NOW!
Tim Miller is a famous search-and-rescuer in Dickinson, Texas, who's helped track down more than 300 missing persons. After 38 years of searching, he's now convinced that he's finally solved his own daughter's murder. In the first season of VIGILANTE, Allie Conti (New York Times, Vice) explores the human cost of Tim's singular obsession with the case—from the people he's falsely accused in the past, to the current girlfriend he's put in the crosshairs of a possible serial killer. As Allie prepares to interview the suspect in person, she grapples with whether she might be the latest victim of Tim's vigilantism.

Ep 426E426 Going Deeper w/ Madison Watkins - Kardashian Wedding plus Mattress Cover For Sex.
Welcome back to The Viall Files, Going Deeper edition! Today we are joined by Singer, Songwriter, and American Idol contestant, Madison Watkins! On this episode we dive into how Madison and Nick met when he was first starting the podcast, the latest on the lavish Italian Kardashian wedding, what our ideal wedding locations would be, and tasteful ways to repurpose your mother's wedding dress. We also talk about how bringing snacks is a turn-on, giving a friend a shot at a date, and how people need to be more "about it" in dating. We then welcome on our Texting Office Hours caller who needs help navigating between two different situationships. The first guy she's seeing has been giving her the best sex of her life, but he lives with his parents. Now being forced to buy a waterproof mattress cover and to reconcile with her concerns and questions, our caller wonders how much she should text back this guy that's "too stupid to fall in love with." She then asked about another guy she's known for a long time, who is a mature man that fulfills very different needs. After this guy breaks up with his longtime girlfriend, he reaches out to our caller in a moment of weakness, shaking everything up and retracting once our caller responds.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition! Today we are joined by Attorney Dellara Gorjian. On this jam-packed episode we dive back into the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial, bringing on some experts to give their thoughts on what has arisen from the shocking cross examination. We talk about how this case has moved past a headline to being a cultural moment, why Dellara believes it's likely Johnny will lose the case, and the specifics of what it takes to win a defamation case. We then welcome back Janine Driver to dive into what a bruise makeup kit is, and how slips of the tongue can reveal true intentions. We then welcome on a listener for Texting Office Hours where an accidentally butt-dial leads to chaos and confusion. Our caller struggles when a guy she's seeing shows pretty poor communication skills, being left on read most of the time. We dive into this issue and discuss how texting has become an expectation and how to properly communicate how often you should be talking with the person and if texting too much is taking away from conversations that should happen on a date.

Ep 421E421 Ask Nick - Dumped for a Lease
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive back into our callers' burning questions and help them navigate relationships, situationships, and everything in between. Our first caller struggles in dating with setting expectations and giving boys options she doesn't want them to have. After two years of being single, now she wants to learn to take initiative and control in the unpredictable world of casual dating. Our next call features a couple who is having a tough family situation, where one of the caller's sisters is struggling with addiction and coming to terms with next steps. Now the caller wonders how they can support her sister coming out about needing support to the entire family, without causing resentment or a rift. Our last caller struggles when she wonders what the limits of a long distance relationship can be, especially when kids are involved. Despite both being outsiders living in Thailand, her partner insists on having his own place a few hours away in the same country. Now, she wonders if she's been wasting 10 years of her life on a guy who will always be hesitant to make the next move and progress their relationship or if she's actually very accepting of her situation. "We can be convincing to ourselves in what we want when we think it'll get us something else."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition! Today we are joined by Natalie Joy to help us dive deep and tackle the latest on the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial, bringing on psychologist, Dr. Kirk Honda, as well as body language expert, Janine Driver.

After that we bring on Janine Driver who is a body language expert with a focus. She dives into how being theatrical can be part of your baseline, how the structure of a story can tell if you're lying or not, and the massive amount of damage to your credibility that happens when you decide to fake cry. We then recap the information that we've learned and talk about why people want to side with Amber, and how people should believe women, regardless of how this specific case ends.

Ep 406E406 Ask Nick - My Boyfriend Pays Me Salary
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we dive into our first caller's situation where a church guy she met comes on super strong, then pulls away. From his weird pickup lines asking if she wanted cat food, to his drug use, to him being a 32 year old virgin, his aura of mystery only likely serves to hurt. Our next caller can't stop hooking up with and seeing a guy she knows is toxic for her. From changing his contact name on her phone to an STD, she can't seem to stop herself from seeing a guy she knows isn't good for her. She asks for help with putting her foot down and moving on. Our last caller struggles with what to do after her military boyfriend got orders to move to another state, meaning she would have to pack up her life where she lives now to continue to live with him. Now, she wonders what to do considering she would have to put a stop on her career, and if an unconventional solution like having him pay her a "Girlfriend Tax" may get her what she needs to make the jump and move.

Our next caller struggles when her online friendship formed over quarantine becomes cold. She wonders if a third friend could be the reason for this sudden shift, and how to navigate people valuing online friendships at different levels. Our last caller figures out how to define the difference between a boundary and an ultimatum when thinking of the big picture with her current partner. Now, she wonders how to bring up the idea of marriage to her partner that doesn't seem to care like she does and process if she's just wasting her time.

Ep 399E399 Going Deeper – Chris Olsen
Today we are joined by the incredibly talented and hilarious Tik-Tok star, Chris Olsen. On this episode of Going Deeper, Chris opens up about his very public break-up as well as his time in recovery, what that was like for him and his family, and how his life has changed. After that, we break down his thoughts on Love is Blind Season 2, the reunion, and his thoughts on Deepti and Shake. We also talk about how Shake finally got his "perfect" girl, when he reveals his new blonde girlfriend that he can put on his shoulders. We also discuss the ever-evolving Kanye and Pete Davidson drama, after news breaks out about Pete's new tattoo. We dive into what the attraction is, if this relationship seems too flashy to be true, and how public relationships can only survive media coverage and never benefit from it. We then go to a mediation where a couple is having issues with where to live after his residency: She wants the California Beach life and he wants the mountains. But, after the girlfriend talks about their deal where they would live in California for 4 years and he would get to decide where they move for forever, we wonder if she really had a scheme in the background to never let him leave California. How can they come to a decision together that benefits both of their needs, without anyone holding resentment afterwards? "There's no winning in disagreements, I have found."

Our last caller is having issues after having a major falling out with her younger brother when she asks him to be in her wedding. Our caller feels that her brother's girlfriend is influencing him, when on the flip of a switch the brother says that being close to your family and having a good relationship with them is weird and unusual.

Today we are joined by Susie Evans directly from tonight's After the Final Rose from HELL! On this episode of Going Deeper, we ask Susie all the hard questions and dive way deeper into this insane season's drama. We get Susie to give us a timeline of what happened after that night in Iceland, what the cameras didn't capture, and what changed after she left. We also get her thoughts on Gabby & Rachel's heartbreak and seeing the fallout of Clayton saying he "loved her the most." We also ask about how Clayton has grown since the season, how Susie is happy to end this relationship at any time if it isn't working for her, and how her sliding into his DMs blossomed into a relationship. We then go to a mediation where a couple is looking to heal from cheating. They wonder how they can move on and not instigate each other with his past discretions. We break down what each person's expectations should be, boundaries they need to set and how to manage the risk of trusting again. We end the show asking Susie where she is in her relationship with Clayton as she shares that she really wants them to do a pulse check and continue to talk realistically about their future and not just get engaged.

Ep 394E394 Rose Ceremony From Hell with Christina Harris and Natalie Joy
Today we are joined by both Christina Harris and Natalie as we dive into talking about the first night of the finale to Clayton's insane season. After some Hot Goss about Clayton's different press appearances leading up to the finale, we dive into part one of the episode itself. On this episode we focus on the Rose Ceremony "From Hell" where people are crying, people are storming out, and people are having their hearts broken in front of everyone else. We talk about the problematic nature of Clayton loving Susie the most, how Clayton's apology and tell-all still holds a lot back, and how honestly would have prevented a lot of this drama. We also talk about how being The Bachelor means being a leader instead of having things your way and how Clayton appears like he has a lot of dating maturity to build.

Ep 391E391 Bachelor Recap With Jim Jefferies Plus Genevieve
Today we are joined by Comedian and Bachelor Fan, Jim Jefferies! On this DOUBLE episode of Bachelor Recap we break down the explosive Women Tell All and discuss all the drama from Fantasy Suites. Reflecting on the Tell All, we ask if the rest of the women stooped to Shanae's level, turning themselves into mean girls and going too far by trying to get revenge. We also question if Shanae is evil or if the power of the edit is strong enough to make someone making bad choices look like a villain. We then have Genevieve call in to get the real deal on all of the season's drama and to hear her reasoning for going so hard on Shanae in the Tell All. We question Genevieve's comments about Shanae having a "diaper outfit" and calling her a hypocrite. We then dive into Fantasy Suite discussion, talking about how many contestants you should have sex with, how sure the Bachelor is going into the fantasy suite, and how Clayton may ruin everything he has going for him. We also talk about how Clayton saying he loves someone might reveal the winner and how this crazy season will come to an end. "They say 'I love you' over and over again for 8 hours. That messes with you." 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 390E390 Ask Nick - Good on Paper, Bad in Love
We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode of Ask Nick we are joined by dating coach and podcaster, Damona Hoffman. You'll recognize her from The Drew Barrymore Show and Love Expert. With Damona's expertise, we dive into the world of situationships. Our first caller met a guy who seemed perfect, even though it was a long distance. His disconnect made her question everything, after her therapist suggested she do some research she found out he is married with kids! Now she struggles if she should get involved and let his wife know, or if she should save her energy and move on. Our next caller is having issues with her best friend who appears very selfish and controlling. She tells the caller that she's smarter and better than everyone, and even told the caller's boyfriend NOT to propose until after she gets married. Our caller wonders if she should break off the friendship and say she won't be at her wedding or confront her with her feelings and hope for the best resolution? Our last caller is frustrated when a boy from her church sends her good signals but doesn't follow through with them. She struggles when she feels like this guy looks great on paper, and how someone with a "good resume" could not be a good partner. "He's giving you 'I want you around' energy" 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.

Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files, joined by TWO Love is Blind 2 cast members! We get the scoop from both bombshell interviews, one from Deepti and one from Shaina. With Shaina we ask her about her non-negotiables, if lacking a religion was really a deal breaker for her, and her exclusive reveal of who she may be dating now that the show is over. Next, we interview Deepti and get the scoop on all things Shake.

We then talk about the best family members from hometowns, Clayton getting his butt kicked on a date, and faking to the contestant's parents that their daughter will be the one.

SCOUNDREL: HISTORY'S FORGOTTEN VILLAINS IS AVAILABLE NOW!
History consists of heroes and villains (and, I suppose everything in between)... but it's usually the villains who are the most interesting: Their flaws, their quirks, the voids in their hearts that force them to do the unthinkable. These are the characters that fascinate us, that pull us in, that compel us to watch and don't let us look away. And these are the characters that Scoundrel: History's Forgotten Villains is all about. Scoundrel, is a new bi-weekly anthology podcast from Kast Media and the award winning creators of Myths & Legends, that tells the stories of the rapscallions through time who were just a little more adept at hiding their evil from historians than others. By joining them on their treacherous journeys, we not only learn about what makes them tick, but more importantly, the times that created them. Sidney Gottlieb, George Remus, Hetty Green, Thomas Blood, James McClintock. They've all done horrible things...on varying scales. If there's anything we can salvage from their misdeeds and incalculable human suffering, it's the opportunity to use them to elucidate the times they've lived… so that we can better understand ourselves.

Ep 386E386 Going Deeper - Ryan and Meghan Trainor, Love is Blind 2, Mediation
Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files. We are joined by Ryan and Meghan Trainor, who host a podcast together called Working on It! First, we dive into talking about Love is Blind 2, where we debate whether Shayne is toxic or a self-aware goofball. We then talk about how LIB describes itself as a social experiment, giving it a really different feel from other shows and the changed dynamic of watching them get married. We also talk about how Ryan feels turned off from dating after watching the antics on the show, and how Nick and Meghan are pushing him to date again and download dating apps. Will they convince him to put himself out there, or will Ryan's fear of loud laughter shatter his changes from finding love? Afterwards, we get into our Mediation callers, who need help figuring out how to manage each other's emotions. She says she's cold like an ice queen and that he's soft and cuddly like a puppy. They struggle with being honest about their emotions, while also trying not to hurt one another in the process. "That is your ego, by the way."

Ep 385E385 Bachelor Recap With Mariel Molino
Today we are joined by actress and SUPER Bach fan, Mariel Molino, as we dive into the latest on Clayton's crazy season. On this episode we start with some Hot Goss, talking about vasectomies as birth control, trying to win over the fanbase in a breakup, and if Hannah Brown has still not followed her new sister in law. We then dive into the episode itself and talk about how everything is getting more intense leading up to hometowns, who had the most believable fake tears, and Clayton stepping up to call out BS. We then talk about how an indecisive Bachelor seems sloppy, a clearly one sided therapist, and how Clayton's hot sexy romance with Susie may be too surface level to last. We also predict who the next Bachelorette will be and who won't last after hometowns. "If it gets messy, usually the Bachelor doesn't look good."
