The Viall Files

Today we are joined by Love is Blind Season 2's Shayne Jansen, having his first official interview since the show has ended. Shayne claims to be saving it all for the Viall Files and he comes out swinging talking about the drug rumors, what went down during the night of the bachelor party, and how he felt like he had to go to the altar on the day of the wedding. We also dive into and ask about the drama between Natalie and Shaina, and how Shayne reacted to being called the villain. Next, Shayne talks about the very real feelings he felt for Natalie and if he thinks they'll get back together. We then go to our mediation couple who are having issues with the polar opposite of music choices. They struggle to figure out who should have control of the aux while driving and if there can be a happy medium between heavy metal and worship music. We end with Shayne telling us where he hopes to go with next steps and what he would say if Natalie was there right now after spilling the tea and letting everything out.

"You can't have a great hero without a villain."

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition. Today we are joined by Sports Illustrated Model and Bachelor Fan, Ella Halikas. On this episode we dive into hot tea from Bachelor Nation as well as Pop Culture and entertainment. We first get into talking about the slap heard around the world, Will Smith's and Chris Rock's fight on National T.V. during The Oscars. We then bring on Serene to get the update on how she is doing, what she has been up to since the show, if her thoughts on the season have changed since seeing everything play out week to week, and if we'll see her in Paradise. We then dive into the new contestants appearing on the next season of The Bachelorette, talking about who we're most excited about, and who we think Gabby and Rachel will place into their Top 4s.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We want to say congratulations and thank you for listening, because we are hitting Episode 400 with this release! On this episode we are joined by our first caller who is unsure what to do when her guy friend shares messages from his past fling that seems concerning and troublesome. The twist is that our caller and her guy friend have been romantic before and currently have feelings, but she feels hesitant after seeing these messages. She wonders how to navigate transitioning from friendship to relationship and how to deal with these red flags. Our next caller talks about a dream job turned nightmare after getting a job straight out of college from her friend's aunt. Our caller has a great relationship with the person who hired her but when her friend's aunt becomes her boss, everything changes with her strict and rigid expectations. Our last caller struggles to navigate a situation where the person she's dating has a condition that will limit his life expectancy. She struggles to define the relationship when she realizes that because of his condition, he will always make himself a priority over her. Now she must decide if she should pursue this relationship knowing it'll differ from something more traditional, or if she should give him space and move on.

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?

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Bachelor Gossip Edition. Today we are joined by journalist, host, model, and fan favorite, Cathy Kelly! We're here to cover the fallout of the Bachelor finale, reflecting on how much Clayton has grown since the show ended, why Susie is dating him, and how the show will change for the next season with two bachelorettes. On this episode, we spill the tea on the insider scoop of what rose ceremonies will look like next season, getting to the bottom of if Clayton likes to be choked after a shocking social media post, how fan favorites can be just saying the right things instead of being good people, and if Bachelor In Paradise will happen after the next Bachelorette season.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode we answer your burning questions to help you navigate the crazy world of dating. Our first caller doesn't know what to do after her mom shows up to a bar drunk and hooks up with the caller's friends. Feeling betrayed by both her mom and her friends, our caller feels that her trust in all of them has become completely shattered. Now, she wonders if she should try to forgive or if these actions are too egregious to get over. Our next caller is in a very happy relationship with her boyfriend while they are both in the military. But quickly, her reality is warped when she learns that her boyfriend has a wife and four kids back home. After finding out more while he is deployed, our caller confronts her boyfriend about everything. Now, she wonders where to go from here and if she can preserve any aspect of the relationship. 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. Now our caller asks how to potentially navitate helping her brother who may be in an emotionally abusive relationship and how she can repair relationships that are being ripped apart.

"It's hard to stay contained under a pressure cooker situation."

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.

"He realizes that this is bigger than just our love story"

Today we are joined by Vulture Writer, Emmy Award Winner, and Bach Recap Fan Favorite, Ali Barthwell, to break down the ending of this scandalous and chaotic season of The Bachelor. On this episode of Bachelor Recap we talk about the explosive Bachelor Finale! We dive into how Clayton's apologies show his immaturity, Gabby standing up for herself, and how Rachel was led to believe she was the one. We also talk about what Susie must have seen in Clayton to choose to take him back, how she'll have to make a PR campaign to fight off any questions she gets, and where Clayton needs to grow. We also talk about the next season of The Bachelorette and how the show will work with two women as leads and how they work together to find love in the next chapter.

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.

"He expected everyone to adapt instead of him having to empathize."

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! On this episode, our first caller is enjoying life as a digital nomad traveling from place to place and going on dating apps. After her and a date quarantined together they left with feelings but also without applying a label on the situationship. Now, wanting to maintain her casual digital nomad lifestyle but also wanting to pursue things with this guy further, our caller struggles on how to approach and define what she wants. Our next caller's sister is throwing a birthday party for herself and the costs are just too high for her and her husband. When our caller expressed concerns about rising prices for the event, her sister turned into a Birthday-Zilla saying that finances shouldn't be an excuse. Now our caller wonders how to lay things out and communicate without creating problems with her sister. Our last caller is in a work related situation with a man she just isn't interested in. Her coworker gets incredibly jealous when our caller mentions going on dates. Now, she wonders how to put him in line while also being able to keep her work about doing work and not participating in drama.

Today we are joined by Twilight's Ashley Greene and host of The Twilight Effect podcast out March 15th. On this episode of Going Deeper we talk about Ashley's former co-star, Robert Pattinson who stars as Bruce Wayne in the new movie, The Batman. We talk if his performance stacks up and if Rob plays the moody goth Bruce Wayne we really needed all along. Next we talk about the phenomenon that is sweeping the nation, Euphoria. We discuss the controversy of sexualising teenagers and wonder how the show will develop in the next season with so many cliffhangers and loose ends. From there, we talk sex scenes in movies and how it's a mistake to watch "R" rated movies with your grandma and on a plane. We then talk about marriage and how destination weddings can be the move to keep things more intimate. Next, we invite Love is Blind Season Two cast members, Nick and Danielle, on for a mediation where they talk about their struggles when their cleanliness habits and routines conflict.

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.

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"

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 ask her if his edit was actually kind to him, how he acted off camera, and how his comments about putting a girl on his shoulders reveals a lot more about him. We then have our mediation where our callers struggle when the boyfriend interferes in the mother and daughter relationship. The mom finds it hard to know where to stand when she and daughter fight. He wants to know when to step in and how he can give the daughter advice without her resenting him. We also dive into various topics, such as The Weeknd's steamy make-out session and John Mulaney's daughter.

Today we are joined by the hilarious TikToker and Bachelor Fan, Elyse Myers! On this episode of Bachelor Recap we dive deep into all the drama surrounding hometowns. With the pressure building as we approach the final three, we gauge our predictions on who Clayton will pick or if anyone will stay after all of the drama unfolds. We start off by talking about some Hot Goss after some of the ladies of Clayton's season post stories of a "F*CK Shanae" sign during a night out. 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. We then dive into how the final four shoot for twice as long as everybody else and how the show is a pressure cooker of emotion.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! Today, we talk to a caller who is heartbroken after her longtime friend has pulled away from her. She asks for help after her friend didn't make her a part of her wedding, citing that her health problems have not allowed her to be as present as she usually is. Now, our caller has to decide if she should share her health problems in order to be transparent and to try to get back her friendship. Our next caller struggles when her friend demands to be the top priority, feeling competition when our caller says she's hanging out with other people. Our caller asks when setting expectations goes too far and how to deal with a friend when they give you an ultimatum. Our last caller asks about getting yourself out of a situationship and how to be understanding without being too nice. Now, our caller gets help with being direct without accidentally keeping the door opening by hearting their messages.

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.

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.

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."

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"

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."

Our next caller enjoys her self-love focused independent lifestyle, but wonders if dating could add to her busy life, or if someone else would take away from her happiness. Our last caller struggles to let go of her partner after three years of being his backup plan.

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. We close with a mediation call from our audience where a couple navigates overpromising and under delivering, also learning that it's okay to bring your girlfriend to a Guys' Night Out.

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.

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 next caller deals with the aftermath of a breakup from a toxic relationship and struggling in her current new relationship. She asks for advice on how to learn to give someone up, and not feel like you have to date them even if you're not a good match even if they aren't a bad person. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

"Being a good Bachelor has nothing to do with being a good human being"

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.

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.

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 then talk about not committing to never cheating again, how Catholic guilt lives with you as an adult, and bad habits that are hard to kick.
