The Viall Files Envy Media

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.

GD w/ Brian Kelley + VPR Reunion Part 2, Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake, & JoJo’s 21st Birthday
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! To start things out, the household gets together to talk about some recent headlines, such as the UK’s Sexiest Men list, Tom Hanks’ son explaining the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake drama, JoJo Siwa celebrating her 21st birthday (and Facetiming Nick). And we also talk about the Vanderpump Reunion Part 2 and how we feel about phrases such as boundaries and gaslighting. Then, we talk to Brian and Brittney Kelley about all things country music, how they met, what makes their marriage successful, songwriting, his new album, pet peeves and more! We also have a Texting Office Hours caller who is trying to figure out if her marriage is worth fighting for, or if she should walk away.
“I’m a big believer in following your gut.”

Ask Nick - They’re Brainwashing Me
Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off by talking about public affection and the frisky couple in Battery Park. Then we get to our callers…
Our first caller is wondering if her in-laws are brainwashing her to have a baby. She and her husband are on the same page, not to have a baby right now… how should she confront them with love? Our second call is a mediation call! Our couple is wanting to elope but doesn't know how to tell the soon-to-be husband’s mom. They still want to host a celebration, but they're afraid his mom’s traditionalism will make her angry. Our final caller calls in because his mom is guilt-tripping him with his childhood disease. He is all healthy, grown up, and in a relationship now… but setting boundaries with his mom has been tough because he appreciates her for the past she keeps bringing up.
“If we think we can influence somebody, the more we’ll try.”

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.”

Customer Reviews
Reality recaps
I really enjoy listening to the pod and appreciate how much content the team puts out over the week. If I could offer a suggestion- i would like if reality recaps went in order of how the episode went and could go into more detail. The recaps tend to get off track and then will quickly switch to the next show.
Cringe
Can’t stand Ciara’s fake voice!!
Glad I’m not the only one
I’ve been watching from day one with his podcast and even followed him on the bachelor/bachelorette and had to stop watching/listening, guess he’s trying to fit in with the young group he now has. Grow up Nick, you have a child now, read your reviews and listen to what is being said, your language is discussing.
