The Viall Files

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by actress Rachel Bilson to talk about her recent headlines about orgasming later in life, how she and Nick faked a relationship, and how she feels about dating, marriage, and open relationships. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who has angered her friend after having sex with his roommate. Does she try to salvage the relationship, or are his actions red flags?  “Did you come up with these questions?” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! Today we are joined by Bachelor Nation’s Andrew Spencer and Susie Evans to talk about “sex week.” We first discuss some Bachelor Tea - including dating post-show and getting on Raya - before getting into the episode. How did Zach handle Fantasy Suites, and why does Andrew think Susie is to blame? Why was Gabi given a scarlet letter, is Kaity the final rose pick, and how was Zach set up to fail?

Welcome 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, we discuss friendship and how hard - but rewarding - it can be to find your people. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller has a friend with benefits that has a list of “girlfriend criteria.” We go through his list and find out just how ridiculous his expectations and requirements are. Our next caller has a crush on her co worker’s client, and isn’t sure how to shoot her shot without stepping on toes and making work awkward. Is her friend being an unknowing obstacle, or is she interested in her client, too? Our final caller’s boyfriend scammed her out of $400 and refuses to give it back. How has he continued to dodge her requests, and why are they still in a relationship? We get into all of the details.  “If you don’t take big swings in life, you won’t have great things either.”  Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.comto be a part of our Monday episodes.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Vanderpump Rules’ former cast member Kristen Doute to talk about all things Scandoval. Dating Sandoval and being close friends with Ariana has given her a front row seat to the news of Sandoval and Rachel’s affair, and she does not hold back in giving us all of the answers we need. When did the affair start, did Schwartz know, and where do Sandoval, Ariana, and Rachel stand now? And what scandalous moment did cameras catch after the news broke? “She’s definitely not the only one who faked an orgasm with Tom Sandoval.”  Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome 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, we discuss what it means to be a “best friend” in your relationship, and if a romantic partner can ever be the same as a platonic bestie. We then get our latest Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller wonders if she’s a fuckboy, because the guy she’s been seeing wants more commitment than she does. We dive deep if she doesn’t want a relationship right now, or if he just isn’t the right one for her. Our next caller has a very complicated issue, centering around the fact that his ex and his girlfriend’s ex are now dating each other… both parties have children, so the families are constantly involved with one another. Our final caller is worried that she’s scaring off guys by asking for too much too soon. We discuss the timing of her conversations with potential partners, and how they probably shouldn’t be happening in the bedroom.  “So you had this conversation with him when you were half naked?” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Perfect Match’s Georgia Hassarati to talk about all things Francesca and Dom, behind the scenes drama, and her relationship timeline with Harry. Has she talked to Dom recently? What did Francesca say to her off-camera? Why did Harry say they slept together after their podcast? We get all of the answers. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who broke up with her friends via group chat, but she’s now regretting her decision. How does she slide back in to make amends months later?  “She apologized to me, saying that she felt like she was bullying me.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: https://www.viallfiles.supportingcast.com If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome 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, we discuss the idea of finding the one vs. finally just “picking” someone to spend your life with. Our first caller is wondering if she should warn her ex-husband’s new fiancée about his tumultuous and emotionally abusive past, or if it’s better to watch from the sidelines. They share a son together, so she’s unable to detach completely. Our next caller is still crying over a breakup, 10 months after the fact. She has to figure out how to let go of the failed relationship and her self-pity. Our final caller had a Vegas birthday trip “from hell” that was ruined by one of her friends. Does she address the hurt she caused, and how is she supposed to act as Maid of Honor in her upcoming wedding? “You made promises that didn’t work out. That doesn’t make you a loser.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

Where does she stand in her custody battle, what advice does she have for other women, and which castmates have been the most helpful or harmful? We get all of the answers. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who found out that the guy she slept with actually has a girlfriend and a child, and isn’t sure if or how to reach out and let her know.  “There are going to be times when your voice is all you have.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Bachelor Recap Edition! We’re joined by actress and comedian Arden Myrin to discuss the sixth episode of Zach’s season. We start out by covering the week’s Bachelor Tea, including Greer and Zach’s responses to their cocktail party disagreement. We then dive into this week’s episode and discuss Charity’s 1:1 date in Estonia, and Kat pulling (and kissing) Zach prior to their departure. The group date involves witchcraft and an extinguished fire between Zach and Jess. Did Ariel’s date put her in Zach’s top four for hometowns? And is Brooklyn a bully? We break it all down. “Did he give her Covid as a punishment for having ambition?”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com   Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome 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, we feedback we got on a previous Ask Nick episode, and get our weekly Breakup Song of the Week submission. Our first caller has two friends that can’t stop hooking up, and is worried that they’ll end up heartbroken or awkward at her upcoming wedding. Our next caller is having a sex stand off with her husband, and wishes he would put more effort into initiating intimacy or “wooing” her. We discuss how she can lead by example and open up these vulnerable conversations with him. Our final caller is wondering if she should blow up her life to move out of her family’s house. After moving home following a break up and putting all of her savings into retirement funds, should she risk it all for independence? “I don’t love that you’re considering taking a risk in a time of crisis.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com   Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

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 whose boyfriend was still extremely close with his ex-girlfriend. Has she been able to talk to her boyfriend and establish boundaries? Our second caller was blindsided into meeting her dad’s mistress on Thanksgiving, and Nick had advised her to have a brutally honest conversation with her father about wanting to respect him. Finally, we get an update from our caller that had a situationship with her coworker, only to realize he was in a relationship with their other coworker. Has she stayed or left the work environment, and how did they end things?  We also have some written updates - our caller who fell for a DJ that would send her intense text messages only to ghost her again, the caller who was interested in her boss’ brother only to meet someone else at the Christmas party, the caller whose boyfriend controlled what she wore, and finally our caller who was interested in the woman her girlfriend cheated on her with - all write back in to let us know exactly what happened.  To catch up on all of these callers original questions please see the show numbers:   Original Episode numbers for callers: Episode Number: #543 Ask Nick - You Are Dick-ddicted Episode Number: #513 Ask Nick - Blindsided Into Meeting Dad’s Mistress Episode Number: #463 Ask Nick - He’s Dating Our Co-Worker Behind My Back    Original Episode numbers for written updates: Episode Number: #527 Ask Nick - I Think My Parents Are Swingers Episode Number: #516 Ask Nick - I Want a Tattoo to Memorialize My Ex Episode Number #537 Ask Nick - There’s No Medal For Staying Friends   “Cynicism doesn’t help anyone.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Perfect Match’s Francesca Farago to get the truth about her time on the show, if her portrayal was accurate, and the secrets other cast members were hiding. Which guy sent her a sweaty video saying “I’m coming for you” prior to filming? We dive into her matches on the show (does she feel like she led Dom on?), dating history (on screen and off), and her current relationship. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who kissed her friend's coworker but isn’t sure if his follow up text is a red flag. We wrap up with Francesca and figure out what the future holds for her… engagement? Children? We get all the answers. “There was a full storyline that wasn’t shown.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

We start out by covering the week’s Bachelor Tea, including Erich Schwer’s new romance and rumors of Chris Harrison returning to ABC. We then dive into this week’s episode and discuss Gabi’s 1:1 date in London, and if this means she will be Zach’s final rose pick. Or will Kaity’s care package push her to the front of the line? After the group date and Charity’s 1:1 date were canceled, we predict next week’s dates and how long Zach and Greer’s relationship will last.  “If Zach is telling that to the women, he’s lying to them.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com   Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome 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, we discuss Valentine’s Day plans and read a listener’s email about how her friend was told she was being cheated on during a nine hour road trip. Our first caller is concerned that her boyfriend is still extremely close with his ex girlfriend, and they frequently text each other. Does he still have feelings for her? Our next caller is wondering if it’s possible to turn a long term situationship into a relationship. Nick talks about how she’s become addicted to his dick, or our newly coined phrase, “dick-ddicted.” Our final caller’s mother wants to buy her (and her boyfriend) a house, but her boyfriend’s pride is standing in the way. We discuss that finances can be one of the most difficult conversations to have, but the most important. How can she convince her boyfriend to take her mom up on the offer?  “I just met you and I’m already tired of you doing nothing about it.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com   Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Love is Blind’s Raven Ross to get the truth about her relationship with SK and address all the questions and drama surrounding their rekindling, second proposal, cheating allegations, and break up. What didn’t we get to see between their season, the reunion, and after the altar? We dive into what details Raven knew and what she found out on the internet, if she’s been in contact with SK’s exes, and the last time she spoke with SK. We then have a special Ask Nick caller who gets Nick’s advice on being invited to a couple’s trip having just found out her best friend is cheating on her boyfriend. We wrap up with Raven and ask about early red flags with SK, and any parts of the relationship that she’s still processing. Finally, we have a bonus Texting Office Hours call with Raven about setting boundaries and communicating expectations early on in relationships.  “You’re kind of being stalked. She’s obsessed with you as well.”  If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Welcome 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, we discuss how to overcome dating app fatigue and feeling overwhelmed, especially in the phases between matching and going on a date. Then, we have our most recent Breakup Song of the Week submission.  Our first caller met a British man on her recent cruise and isn’t sure if she should shoot her shot and pursue long distance. Is their connection based on their vacation spark, or compatibility? Our next caller is concerned that moving in with her boyfriend has led to relationship problems. We discuss the difference between a clean, defined break and a vague undefined relationship, and how it’s difficult but important to not feel bad for prioritizing your needs. Our final caller needs help figuring out if she should continue letting her mom run her dating apps. How can she regain control of her dating life? “It’s just you and I talking here. Do you want to be with your boyfriend?” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com   Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  Join us for our new LIVE show on Thursdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT on Amp, available in the Apple app store and https://www.onamp.com for Android listeners.

Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files, Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by reality TV star Joey Zauzig. Before getting into the interview, we discuss Grammy performances and losses, and play F*ck, Marry, Kill with award shows. We then bring on Joey for his interview, where we dive into his current relationship and therapy journey, how he separates sex and intimacy, and how open relationships or threesomes can help you and your partner stay close. We also play a “Good Friend” game where we get to debate what a good friend would do in various situations - from missing their birthday dinner to finding out they’re cheating. We then bring on our Texting Office Hours caller who needs to end a situationship after he continues to violate her boundaries. Joey puts on his relationship advice hat and reminds her that she deserves more!  “Adele will touch your heart. And push you into having a threesome.” If you are interested in running a book club in your city, send an email to: DTYEHBBookClub@gmail.com  Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@theviallfiles.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.
