The Viall Files

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Today, our first two callers are worried about their friend who is hiding her new boyfriend from them and not giving much information about the relationship. Our friends ask if it's alright to step in, or if sometimes it's okay to let your friends be irresponsible to learn for themselves. Our next caller deals with a guy she met at church, who is known to have had some bad dating behaviors in highschool. Now she questions if the gossip is irrelevant, or if his immature nature when he was younger will become a problem in their current situationship. The last caller is very worried for a friend who she believes to be in a potentially abusive relationship, where the friend's boyfriend is cutting her off from the rest of the world. Now, our caller wonders how she can intervene when her friend seems unable to help herself. "In a perfect world we would learn from other peoples' mistakes" 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. We are joined by Comedian Taylor Tomlinson who has another new Netflix Special, LOOK AT YOU out March 8th. In this episode we talk about her standup, relationship chaos you put up with when you're younger, and what we learn as we go through heartbreak. After our interview we go through trending pop culture topics, such as the new dating app where you select the type of relationship you are looking for by choosing a type of fruit; where peach is a kissing relationship, cherry is for the long-term relationship, and watermelon (not eggplant) means friends with benefits. We also dive into talking about how people aren't watching the Olympics, how it's likely the athletes are hooking up, and what dating must be like at the Olympic Village. We close with a mediation call from our audience. We bring on a famous Tik-Tok couple, Maya & Hunter, who are fighting about splitting the holidays and how to divide time between both of their families. We dive into how your parents will expect everything until you give them boundaries.

Today we are joined by Greg Grippo and Andrew Spencer to break down the latest Bachelor episode and Hot Goss from all around Bachelor Nation. Plus we have The Bachelor himself , Clayton Echard, on to answer all of your burning questions about all the drama on show and how he's holding up in general. On this episode we ask Andrew and Greg how likely they are to come to Paradise, about a budding romance involving three dozen roses, and who might have a crush on who in Bachelor Nation. We then reflect on Shanae and ask if she is really a villain off camera, if contestants are getting caught up in the environment of the show, and who makes Clayton light up the most. We then bring on Clayton himself to ask him how he's handling backlash, if he ever regretted going on The Bachelor, his apology to Elizabeth and why he really sent her home. "Not many people could get that reaction from a tired Clayton."

Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files. We are joined by past Bachelor contestant and lead of The Bachelorette, Rachel Lindsay. On this episode we dive deep on all the gossip and new information from Rachel's new book, Miss Me with That, where she recounts her experience going on the Bachelor, becoming the first Black Bachelorette, and trying to critique and change an institution from the inside. We reflect on what it means to be more than just The Bachelorette, lessons from relationships, and how to write a revealing informative book that isn't a tell all. After our interview we go through trending pop culture topics, such as the controversy with The Masked Singer, kids on social media, and Rhianna's pregnancy.

Today we are joined by the hilarious TikToker and massive Bachelor Fan, Becca Moore, as we dive in to recap another crazy episode of The Bachelor. After getting into some Hot Goss, we kick things off by talking about Shanae. We dive deeper into the situation between her and Elizabeth, talking about Clayton's apology tweet about neurodivergency, and using personal experience to navigate our conversations around relationships and ADHD. We also talk about the divide between the house that happens once the Bachelor makes his top picks of contestants, making the other women the focus of producer generated drama. We also talk about the impact of an edit and how audience members can sometimes overlook the emotions and stresses that come with being on reality TV.

Today on another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition, we take your calls to answer your burning questions about relationships and to help you navigate this wild world of situationships. Our first caller writes in asking about being stressed over dating her roommate's brother. She has trouble navigating this situationship and struggles when she feels that the pressure of dating someone in a friend group could make or break the relationship. The next caller is back in the dating game and wonders if sex play is something she needs to settle for. At this point in her life, she wonders what goals she should have with dating and how to find happiness by getting yourself out there. Our last caller is having difficulty with her friendship, wondering if her friend's rude behavior is worth keeping the friendship for. Now she wonders if she should be upfront in communicating what's bothering her or if maybe the friendship has grown apart. "You're never going to wake up and say: 'Today is a good day to break my heart.'"

Today we are back with another episode of Going Deeper with The Viall Files. We are joined by former stripper and now political candidate, Alexandra Hunt. On this episode we talk about breaking down the stereotypes of sex workers, why running a platform in support of sex workers is important, how the sex industry has massive amounts of stigma even though many enjoy the content it produces, and why many hide their past as a stripper. We also talk about using TikTok as a platform for marketing a campaign and how pushing sex work to the underground only makes things more dangerous. Then we welcome our mediation couple to help navigate a situation in which their partner has given an ultimatum to get engaged within four years of dating, or they would break up. We help figure out if this ultimatum is reasonable, why there's hesitation, and how a ring may not be the best symbol of commitment. We end our episode playing a game where we guess if a famous quotation was said from a historical figure or someone from pop culture! "You can't prevent something from ending."

Today we are joined by TikToker, Comedian, Actress, Writer, and most importantly, massive Bachelor Fan, Eilise Guilfoyle! She's here with all her notes on the Bachelor Nation drama to help us jump into the newest excitement from Clayton's season. We start off by talking about how this episode is testing Clayton, where when emotionally exhausted, he has to break up a fight at the cocktail party. We also talk about the massive success that was Rachel's one-on-one date, where we really felt the first flames of romance from this season, and how Clayton's behavior places her in Final Four material. We also talk about how the drama where Shanae overheard the house roasting her was probably staged, and how having multiple cameras in an area where they typically never are may be a hint that something is fake. We also talk about the tactics the girls are using to get to the end, and how certain approaches may end up friendzoning yourself.

Our last caller talks about how she's caught her boyfriend cheating through the phone and talking to escorts for his next business trip out of town. She asks for advice on what to do in the situation and if there's any way to save what they have together. "You already got his best effort and it wasn't really good."

We are back with Singer-Songwriter and massive Bachelor Fan, Rozzi. She's here with us to dive into some Bachelor Nation drama and catch up on all the chaos going on with Clayton's season. We talk about some of the crazy behavior of the girls, and if white wine might be the culprit. Next, we give Clayton some credit and recognize him for the solid guy he seems to be, comment on how the producers needed to give him sunscreen, and how this season seems to be a return to form. We then guess who will be the next villain after the next Rose Ceremony, and predict the rest of the season given that two of the three episodes have ended in cliffhangers.

We are back with another Bachelor related episode, diving into the world and drama of Bachelor Nation. Today, we are joined by Former Bachelor Producer, TV Host, Correspondent, and Founder of Heart Broken Anonymous, Naz Perez. While there is no new episode of The Bachelor itself we kept ourselves busy by talking about the hot goss in Bachelor Nation. Also we got Teddi on with us, so that we can interview her about whether she thought her behavior was manipulative or not. We talk about the spectrum of manipulation, how people in healthy relationships manipulate, and how sometimes it's important to get what you want. We also talk about how the show has changed with social media, the pull of why people watch each season, and the ever expanding Reality Television Cinematic Universe. We also address the Cassidy FWB situation and how her approach shows she isn't ready for love. "You're giving me a lot more credit than I deserve."

Today, on another episode of Viall Files, Ask Nick Edition, we dive into the world of situationships and answer your burning questions about relationships and the dating world. In this episode we are joined by our first caller who struggles with the idea that her boyfriend is hooked on weed, making it a higher priority than everything else in his life. Not growing up around it herself, this caller expresses concern that this may be a sign that their lifestyles are incompatible. Our next caller struggles with how to be supportive to her friend that has been stuck in a situationship for a long time. She asks for advice on how to help her friend ask for and get what she wants. Our next caller has been stuck in a situationship for almost two years and feels like she is getting crushed by the dreaded in-between. Now, she tries to learn how to not ask someone else to define the relationship, but rather, demand what she wants out of the situation.

We are back with another recap of The Bachelor as we dive into the world of Clayton's season. Today, we are joined by journalist, television host, model, and actress, Cathy Kelley as we break down the crazy moments and hot messes of episode two. On this recap we dive into talking about who pulled aside Hilary Duff, Nick's hot take about Teddi, and what manipulation is in a relationship. We also talk about how there are clearly love roses and drama roses, how a FWB situation back home may ruin a contestant's chance, the intentions of certain contestants, and how someone should go on The Bachelor purely for spite. We also discuss the ADHD situation and how disclosing information about someone else can be harmful. "I think there are plenty of hot messes in this cast."

Today on Ask Nick, we start with a caller whose best friend's boyfriend has asked her to borrow money for her friend's engagement ring. She is confused as to why he wants to spend outside of his means, and is wondering whether she should tell her friend who she knows is pushing for the engagement. But she soon realizes that maybe what she should really be questioning is whether to go into business with a friend who is rushing some very big life decisions. We then speak with someone who was ghosted by her "best friend" after her father passed away. Now they're both attending at a mutual friend's wedding and our caller is dreading the confrontation. Should she ignore the situation, or try to have a heart-to-heart before the event? "Money problems turn into other problems."

Today we are joined by actress and Too Hot To Handle contestant, Francesca Farago. In this interview we dive into the downsides about sharing relationships on social media, how to ignore the rumor mill, and how being on reality TV and wanting privacy in your personal life are two different things. We also talk about finding your love language, how society is judgmental of someone with a lot of exes, and how you can be your own person even in a relationship. We also ask about how dating greatly differs when going out with men versus with women, and how jealously from your partner can be an issue when you're bisexual. "A lot of people see exes as a failure."

Today we look forward to welcoming you back to the world of the Bachelor, kicking it off with another recap for the first episode of Clayton's season. Our guest today is YouTuber and actress, Lisa Schwartz. First, we do a report card and ask how Clayton and Jesse are doing in their roles and how the show is doing in terms of letting us learn more about Clayton, besides just his love for puppies. We dive into the Sally situation, and judge how Clayton handles a hurt contestant that is not ready for the show and to love again. We select our picks for best intros, who we think will make it to the end, and which contestants are already being edited to look like villains. We talk about how we think Teddi, a virgin, will likely lose her virginity in the Fantasy Suite, how giving away a 100 year old photo to the Bachelor may be a bad idea, and how being a good person isn't enough to be a good Bachelor. We can already tell this season is going to be fun but messy, so come join us in recapping the premiere!

Today we are back with your questions on another edition of Ask Nick. We begin with a caller who's love life has turned into a real life Hallmark movie. Should she date the buttoned up finance guy and charity donor who lives in her city? Or should she head back to her roots to pursue romance with an old hometown flame, who is comfortable and familiar, but has a bit of a bad boy image? Next, we are joined by a caller who is navigating a potential relationship with someone with an STI. She really likes him (and is normally very picky so that really means something) but she has never dated someone with an STI so she doesn't know exactly how to manage the risk. Lastly, we speak with someone who has recently found out that her ex's friends have been mocking her and her social media and potentially disrupting her future dating life. We then learn she works with some of these friends, so she's wondering how to go about blocking them, and how she can move on from feeling "crazy" after the break-up. "Your ex has a groupchat with his friends where they share your TikToks and your snapchats and talk about them."

Today we're celebrating the end of 2021 and another year of Viall Files! In this episode we'll go through some highlights from the year, talking about highs, controversies, regrets, and everything in-between! We start off this episode by highlighting things that happened in our lives: from vibrating underwear, butterflies, and Meatball-gate! We also highlight interviews such as with Tinx, Steve-O, Andy Grammer, and Olivia O'Brien. Each interview taught us something unique about love and life and we wanted to show the best moments in conversation. We talk some regrets from this year, where we could have gone deeper with Katie speaking poorly of Thomas and Nikki explaining a theory from a book she read that, at the time, made our heads turn. Next we thank all of our Ask Nick callers and highlight some great takeaways from the year. We close with discussing the controversy with Gaslighting and the various conversations we had to find out when to use a term and the benefits and harm in defining a behavior. Thank you so much for listening this year! We look forward to 2022!

Today on another Ask Nick, we dive into the dramatic and wild world of relationships, dating, and situationships. Our first caller is navigating a situationship where a guy she has been passionately talking with doesn't initiate making a move in person. They finally hook up just before he goes off to be on a realty show where, plot twist: he meets someone else. Now our caller is questioning what to do. The next caller is returning for advice after getting help from Ask Nick on Instagram. Her current relationship seems perfect - until it's not - and our caller now is worried it's getting too "vanilla." Lastly, we speak with someone whose boyfriend's new apartment stinks, and she's wondering how she can talk to him about it without hurting his feelings.

Today we're sitting down with Bachelorette Runner-up, Brandon Jones! We dive in to get all the tea on the conclusion of this season and check-in with Brandon to see how he is doing after the finale. We ask if the emotions were real, how he's handling heartbreak, and what bothers him most that people assume about him. We also dive into Brandon trying to find clarity by watching the show, what defines a fuckboy in Brandon's eyes, and who he would let his sister date from the house. We reflect by asking Brandon how he would react if Michelle reached out to him and if he would want another chance with her. We also give Brandon some advice now that he is part of the heartbreak club and ask about his future plans. "I want my partner to choose me."

Today on the Bachelorette Finale recap we're breaking down all the current Bach Nation drama with journalist, reporter, and writer, Elizabeth Wagmeister. We talk about Tayshia not being able to host the AFR and Kaitlyn stepping up to own the live event. We also cover the Kaitlyn and Shawn drama and how it seems bitter for Shawn to comment years late. We also dive into how Hannah Brown's brother is engaged to Jed's ex, and how weird of a situation that is. We also mourn the elimination of Brandon and wonder if Michelle could really be in love with two people at once, or if she really just had feelings for Nayte. And, finally, we cover our thoughts on Clayton and question why he was chosen as the new Bachelor. "There are people I like and people I wish that made better choices."

Today on another Ask Nick, we dive into the world of situationships, relationships, and everything in-between. Our first caller talks about their upcoming trip home to their hometown, where each year, they meet up with the same boy to share a kiss on a park bench. Now, they wonder how they can take things to the next level after they have done this for over ten years. Our next caller recounts a romcom moment and a potential kiss in the rain. Now, they wonder if these theatrics are romantic or more so stemming from this man not understanding love in a mature way. Our last caller tries to reconnect with a friend after her secret relationship betrayed the trust of her friend group. Now, she wonders if enough time has passed to try to repair friendships, or if the moment has passed. "Did he actually say that, or are you thinking for him?"

Today on the Viall Files we are decoding your dreams with dream psychologist, Ian Wallace. Ian is a best-selling author and popular broadcaster who is widely acclaimed in the media for his live dream analysis. Nick and Ian dive right in, starting with analyzing dreams about infidelity (and sex in general), what they mean and how we can translate our dreams into actions. Ian explains why it is more common for men to have vivid dreams and walks us through the top 5 most common dreams. Ian then breaks down the symbolism behind our very own Viall Files teams' recurring dreams, dreams of being pigeon holed, sleep paralysis vs. lucid dreaming, and dreams about death. He'll show us how our dreams are the ultimate self portrait and how we can process and remember dreams by using "will, still, and fill." "People used to think dreams happen to them, when really, you happen to the dream."

We're breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with TikToker, Rod Thill. On this Recap, we start by grieving Joe going home and trying to figure out who may be the winner after this bombshell. We talk some Bachelor Nation Hot Goss and how Kaitlyn directly responded to a podcaster about how Tayshia planned her walkout during the Men Tell All. We then talk about how the order of Fantasy Suite picks may impact who goes home next, that Nayte may end up being the winner, and how Michelle seems like she no longer has to be the teacher in situations and can finally be herself. Nick then shares how he wishes the rest of the show would play out and Rod shares his perfect first night entrance if he ever went on the Bachelorette.

Today on another Ask Nick, we start with our first caller who struggles when her boyfriend refuses to get vaccinated even though she and her family have and it has turned into a deeper issue than she originally thought it was. We then unpack whether his reluctance bleeds into other aspects of their relationship, where he places his needs above anyone else. Our next caller deals with a long dry spell after a breakup where they're having trouble re-engaging with hook-up culture and finding people down for something casual. After that, our next caller wants advice about breaking up because their ex was an alcoholic. The caller is wondering if they should casually check-in to see how they are doing or just move on. Lastly, our next caller wonders if they are settling for their relationship and if their needs are not being met or if it's really worth the work towards an engagement.

Today we are joined by media presenter and TikToker, Tefi Pessoa. You'll know her from her YouTube talk show Tefi, or from her TikTok content @hellotefi. On this episode we talk about building confidence after having issues with body positivity before, realizing that selfish people are the ones often accusing others, and how men like to complicate relationships.

We're breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with Emma Gray, Editor at Huffpost and Co-Host of the #LoveToSeeIt Podcast. On this Recap, we start off by diving back into the Hot Goss that's circulating around Bach Nation. We first talk about whether or not Katie's recent posts are inconsiderate and how self-aware she is if she's feeding into the drama. We then dive into the "Men Tell All" where we break down who of the contestants are acting or if this level of emotion actually came out. After, we talk about how many of these men knew that there wasn't a connection with Michelle, so they have been going all out to potentially get a spot on Paradise. Speaking of future endeavors, we reflect on Tayshia's walk-off after breaking her silence on Zac, and how playing into the drama may hurt her future chances of being a host. Lastly, we close out by discussing the BIZARRE teaser for Clayton, where he reveals that he's had sex with both women at a rose ceremony. "Michelle is an educator. She can tell when someone doesn't understand the assignment."

Today on Ask Nick we continue to dive into the wild world of situationships. We start with our first caller who struggles when she feels that her boyfriend is putting his cats above her. After getting allergy shots to make it work, she asks if this might just be highlighting larger compatibility issues. Our next caller asks for help after being stuck in the middle of a sticky situation when at a party, a husband cheats on their wife with one of the caller's friends. Now this entire friend group struggles with what to do after witnessing infidelity at this event. Our next caller deals with an extreme long distance relationship that, once physically together, has no chemical spark in the bedroom. Now the caller has to navigate between emotional and physical attraction and determine what they need. Our last caller deals with a hot summer fling that fizzled out.

Today on Ask Nick we dive into the wild world of situationships. We start with our first caller who after being cheated on by their fiancé, develops a relationship with the ex-husband of the girl her fiancé is cheating with.

Our next caller asks for advice on re-connecting with their ex best friend, or if too much time has passed for it to be worth it. Our next caller is a mother of four and re-entering the dating world. After a date with a 21 year old, our caller wonders if this man is too young to take on a mature relationship. Our last caller recently bought a house with their partner, but is not sure if they're compatible. Now the caller is struggling to decide if their expectations are too high or if their partner is just not capable of standard expectations.

Today we are joined by the Michelle Young! In this interview we dig deep, trying to get the tea on all of the drama surrounding this season of The Bachelorette. We ask Michelle how she balances her personal life with her students after the show, her career plans for the future, and if she plans to be moving from Minnesota. We then ask about the season, getting her read on Martin's "high maintenance" conversation, her active eye for red flags, and her relationship pet peeves as we move forward in the season. We then ask about recent rumors surrounding Nayte, and get a read on how well our guesses for the final contestants have been. We get into the real questions, so let's dive in, and talk to Michelle! "It's not always going to feel good to listen to that red flag/gut reaction, but in the end it's in your benefit to make those tough calls."

We're breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with The Viall Files Team, Ali and Amanda. We kick things off by getting some of the Bach hot goss from the rumor mill with Ali. After that, we dive into how Martin undermines others when he feels threatened, how Clayton crying while reading the note was probably staged, and how sometimes the slow-burn contestants can have lasting impact later in the show. We then ask about Michelle being turned on by Joe playing basketball, how Rick looks like he's fragile, and how anything can be a metaphor- including churning butter. "Martin seems like the type of guy that won't go down on you unless you've showered" 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.

After that, our caller talks about a positive date turned sour, when her date revealed while drunk, that he's been researching her. Now the caller wants to know if this is charming or creepy.

We're breaking down all the Bachelorette drama with Ali Barthwell, comedian and staff writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Vulture! On this episode we dive into how Michelle feels like a Bachelorette really in control of the situation, a Top Gun date that ends in a wet disaster, and the liars of the Slam Poetry date. We also talk about who the next villain will be after the rose ceremony, the low bar of standards when dating straight men, the explosive toxicity, and issuing an official apology to Rodney regarding the blind apple taste test. "They think they're playing a competition of airtime versus actually winning the Bachelorette."

Today on Ask Nick we dive into talking with a caller who is processing their feelings after breaking up with their girlfriend, hooking up with a toxic ex, and then realizing that they made a mistake. They ask for advice about the process of getting back together with someone after breaking up with them, and the path to healing. Our next caller asks for advice about their fiancé, who turns into a different person when drinking is involved. They ask how to deal with someone you love when they constantly blackout and become aggressive when alcohol is a factor. Then we talk to a caller who is navigating if it is appropriate to have sex on the first date, citing that their sex-positive nature and eagerness to have sex on the first date is turning men off from the idea of continuing to date our caller. Lastly, our caller attempts to figure out if they can turn a casual flirting situation into something more serious, or if someone that started out as passive and casual is doomed to stay that way forever. "Whether you're with her or you're not, you're going to wish you would have given her this much energy."

Today Nick sits down with the hosts of the most popular podcast ever created in the history of the world, the hilarious Matt Walsh and Tim Simons. Matt and Tim co-host a new Veep rewatch show, Second in Command, and - after first dropping some serious football talk- they dive right into their time as part of the core cast on all seven seasons, whether they became more politically informed because of it, and how much improvisation was allowed while filming. They also dig into fame (or, rather, being recognizable,) being star struck over their castmates, the power of message over presentation, and not catering to the needs of the lactose intolerant. They really cover it all, and you're not going to want to miss this funny and wacky conversation. "At that level there is no value in telling the truth."

We also talk about how Clayton continues to get outshined, how much control contestants have on date activity selections, and the benefits of dating someone outside of your industry. We also talk about how the location of where contestants live may impact their success and the secret trick to getting onto an Australian Basketball team.
