The Viall Files

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. "I think Jesse will remind people that can't count how many roses there are left."

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.

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. Now, they're deciding between attempting to put together the pieces or just move on. "Am I loved the way I want to be loved?"

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. Does this relationship have any chance for success or are the circumstances just too weird to stand a chance? 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.

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."

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."

Today on Ask Nick, we start with someone who after getting into a polyamorous relationship with a married couple, attempts to navigate the relationship and build it into something beautiful and healthy. Next, we talk to a caller who is trying to help her single friend after a string of bad relationships. The caller attempts to help her friend who questions their self-worth for not being in a serious relationship and how to help her realize that the problem isn't her. The next caller is trying to decide if they should reconnect with a friend they'd ghosted in the past, after discovering that the friend had been diagnosed with cancer. Our last caller talks to Nick about filling the in-between steps with a guy that they are seeing, having trouble knowing where to go and how to set a pace with someone they genuinely like. "No one is envious of someone who feels sorry for themselves."

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

Today we are joined by THE Ivan Hall, from Season 16 of the Bachelorette and this season of Bachelor in Paradise. On this episode, we let Ivan spill the tea on Paradise and explain his side on the show. We dive into talking about Ivan sneaking out to see Alexa after a producer accidentally left behind their phone, revealing that Alexa was staying down the hall from him. We also talk about who Ivan thinks is the worst person on Paradise, Ivan's interaction with Chelsea, and just how much context got cut from the final versions of episodes.

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

On today's episode of Ask Nick, we first pivot in the world of relationships to someone who wants to know how to navigate personal growth and how to make sure she's doing it for herself and not him. Next, we speak with someone who seems to keep attracting the wrong guys in dating. Is it her, or just some self-limiting beliefs?

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

On today's episode of Ask Nick our first caller is in a rotating pattern with the same guy: they hook up, they try to define the relationship, and then they break up. She, however, keeps reaching out to him when she ends other relationships to hook up and needs to understand both of their choices. Our second caller was thrown into a long distance relationship because of school and is feeling like she is 100% in the relationship but feels like her partner is becoming distant. Third, we speak with someone who is divorced and jumping into the dating scene but is nervous that she is scaring people away with the expectations she is putting on people. Finally, cheating was the catalyst that broke our last caller up with her boyfriend and she is still trying to figure out what could make her feel better about the situation.

Today on the Viall Files, Nick sits down once again with friend-of-the-show, the inspirational Tyler Merritt. Tyler and Nick don't hold back, diving right into Tyler's new book, I Take My Coffee Black, where he recounts hilarious stories from his life while weaving in lessons on privilege, the legacy of lynching and sharecropping, and so much more. In their raw conversation, Tyler shares with us his recent cross with cancer and some of the gut-wrenching moments he experienced while facing the truth of his diagnosis. The two go on to discuss how to keep anger in perspective, what Tyler does to protect his peace, and about the honest conversation he had with his new friend Chris Harrison. Tyler shows us how he defaults to love and why the question should always be, "how can I love this person better?" Grab a tissue, this one will tug at your heart strings. "If you make a mistake, I don't care who you are, you always have the opportunity to make it right."

Today on another edition of Ask Nick, we begin with someone who is into her neighbor and thinks she's been obvious about it but he still hasn't taken the bait. Should she be more direct or is he just not into it? Next, we talk to someone who is having trouble bringing up issues with her boyfriend for fear of being 'dramatic' or that it will turn into a fight. She learns, though, that the real struggle might be the power dynamic and that what she really needs is to be honest with herself. Then, we talk to someone who was kissed by her best friend who is now avoiding her. She's interested, but doesn't want to mess up their friendship. Finally, we talk to someone who caught her boyfriend lying to her and promptly broke up with him, but they work together and she still has feelings for him. Is it worth forgiving and trying again? You'll have to listen to find out. "Your boyfriend is not interested in being a boyfriend. He's interested in having a girlfriend, but there's a big difference."

Today Nick is joined by host of the Hoot & A Half podcast and popular internet phenom, the charming, Matt King. Nick and Matt jump right into it talking about how Matt overcame his fear of public speaking to become a competitive speech champion, how he moved past heartbreak to find love again, and how he got his girlfriend to stay interested at the start of dating. Matt also shares his thoughts on the recent David Dobrik news, if he's ever been jealous of others' success, and how his dad helped shape him into a curious person.

Today on the Bachelor in Paradise recap Nick is joined by the one, the only: Lance Bass. With a lot happening, Lance and Nick have much to talk about so they jump right in discussing Demi's pot-stirring antics, his thoughts on the hard-to-read Brendan, and whether Thomas might be a tiny bit of a sociopath. They also discuss Connor's country music, Marissa's sex-positivity, and Riley's awesome swag. Lance shares how this is a dream come true job, how he talked boy bands with Kenny, and his personal top guys and girls. Settle in, we have a lot to cover.
