The Viall Files Envy Media
-
- Society & Culture
My name is Nick Viall and I host The Viall Files, a podcast that one anonymous reviewer called “surprisingly insightful and substantive.”
The Viall Files explores all things dating and love - from post-breakup healing to salacious texts - in our three (and sometimes four) weekly episodes.
Ask Nick - Every Monday, listeners navigating a challenging yet relatable interpersonal circumstance--from a 2 year situationship to a blowout fight with their mom to a friendship feud to reigniting intimacy after 10 years of marriage--call in for Nick's signature blunt yet compassionate advice. It's ripe with the type of hard truths your friends are too afraid to say, but you're better off for hearing.
Bachelor Recap - We break down this week's episode of the Bachelor, Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise on Tuesdays. This color commentary is full of hot takes, debates, jokes, and the insider knowledge only a former Bachelor can provide. Nick, Ali and Amanda are joined by special celebrity guests--you'd be surprised how many of your favorite actors and comedians are closet bachelor fans.
Freestyle - On Tuesday during the Bachelor "off-season," we dive into the hot-button, zeitgeist topics--the latest celebrity drama, trending reality tv shows, new love song/music video that everyone's obsessed with, and occasionally a months-long highly publicized defamation trial between divorced A-list actors. Our lively discussions include takeaways we can all relate to.
We also have "Texting Office Hours," a segment where we help a caller craft, edit, and press the send button on a nerve-wracking message.
Going Deeper - Every Thursday, a special guest joins the show for a tell-all interview and to discuss their latest project, their philosophies on love and relationships, plus the most relevant pop culture topics. These episodes conclude with our beloved "Texting Office Hours " segment where Nick, the guest, and our co-hosts team up to give advice to a listener on a message they need help writing.
The Update Show - The last Friday of the month, by popular demand (and we mean POPULAR) cliffhangers are resolved and burning questions are answered with updates from our most engaging callers. These much-anticipated follow-ups reveal if the caller took Nick's advice and how everything transpired, providing much-needed resolution to the callers' stories that stole our hearts and attention.

Ask Nick - Dating My Boyfriend’s Mom
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off by keeping the wedding mood going, and play a game of ‘I do, or I object’. Then we get to our callers…
Our first caller is recently single and is struggling to get over her ex’s comments about her body. She knows her ex was in the wrong, but it's easier said than done to forget without closure. Our second caller feels like she’s in a love triangle with her boyfriend’s mom. After a complicated work situation and weird comments from her boyfriend’s mom… it's clear that she is unwanted. Our final caller is struggling from a past relationship, where he was cheated on. He has a new found love interest, so how should he go about being vulnerable without pushing himself away.
“How do you feel about yourself, you’ve got to remember that… That’s really all that matters.”

Going Deeper with Joel McHale + Met Gala, VPR Reunion Trailer, & Lawsuit Updates
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, the household gets together to talk about recent headlines, such as the 2024 Met Gala, our thoughts on the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Reunion Trailer, and updates on Rachel Leviss’ lawsuit against Tom and Ariana. Then, we talk to Joel McHale about working in Hollywood, comedy, parenting, cooking, dyslexia, and working on House of Villains. We also have a Texting Office Hours caller who has been dating a guy on and off for three years, and he isn’t sure if he even wants a relationship. She isn’t sure if she keeps holding on, or if she should let him go.
“I don’t want the Real Job Police to come find me.”

Ask Nick - Our Bride is an Ego-Zilla
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off by playing a game of ‘Ditch it or Fix it’: Relationship Habits Edition.
Our first caller is attending an expensive bachelorette party, and the bride is bragging that she doesn't have to pay for anything. Our caller no longer wants to go, but doesnt want to anger the bride and let the financial burden fall on the others. Our second caller hates her old job, but feels like her husband is not supportive of a career shift. She has a school and profession in mind, but his past marriage has made money a trigger for him… thus he’s resistant to helping her pay for it. Our final caller’s friend is having relationships with random men, with the specific intention to have a child. These men are unaware of that, and our caller wants to confront her with disapproval, but not come off as judgmental.
“You’re anticipating how that conversation’s going to go, before you have it.”

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, the household gets together to talk about Nick and Natalie’s wedding - from the venue, the flowers, the outfits, the first look, the ceremony, reception and more! We also dive into what happened en route to their honeymoon that derailed their plans.
