The Viall Files

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.

E678 Ask Nick - My Husband Loves Deer More Than Me 12/11/2023

E678 Ask Nick - My Husband Loves Deer More Than Me 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 read an email from a listener who recently had a gender reveal/surprise wedding, only to have her husband party the night away and not come to bed with her. Then, we get to our callers. Our first caller’s husband would rather spend time with deer than her. She’s only seen him twice in the last month, and is wondering whether their marriage is salvageable, or whether she should call it quits. Our second caller is wondering whether she should stop waiting for her long-distance situationship to ask her out, and just do it herself. She’s tried to get him to commit before, but he used distance as an excuse, so she’s unsure how to convince him to give them a shot despite the commute. Our final caller’s parents want her to break up with her boyfriend once she graduates college, but she’s not sure if she should. It’s the healthiest relationship she’s been in, but he’s not as driven as her, so she’s trying to decide what is more important in a relationship. “The more confident you sound, the more he’ll be scared he can’t live without you.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

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, the infamous “Debbie,” who had originally called in regarding a strange text from a romantic interest, but has since started to date women and found herself pursuing drama instead of good partners. When we left off with her, she had begun to date someone new and seemed to be displaying healthy dating habits, but has she fallen back into her old ways?

Her stepfather had caused an immense amount of financial stress on her family, so we find out where their relationship is at now. Our third caller’s father had destroyed their family by dating the woman he was interested in. We find out if his relationship with his father has mended at all, and where he is in his own dating journey. We also have some written updates - Our caller who was catching feelings for her prison pen pal, our caller who was trying to figure out if her guy friend is into her, and our caller who was debating tattling on her ex to his mom about his cheating in order to get him off her lease.

E671 Ask Nick - Should I End My Marriage? 11/27/2023

E671 Ask Nick - Should I End My Marriage? 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 disenfranchised men and whether or not there’s a divide between young men and women in modern dating? We then get to our callers. Our first caller is wondering whether a lot of little things add up to a non-negotiable, or is that Girl Math, because she’s considering ending her marriage. She’s not sure whether her grievances with her husband are pet-peeves or a deeper underlying issue in their relationship, and wants to know if it’s a marriage worth fighting for. Our second caller wants to get back together with the love of her life, but he’s currently dating the girl her ex cheated on her with. They broke up because of infidelity on her part, but she feels she’s worked on herself and is ready to start fresh with him. However, is it too late? Our final caller is wondering whether she should shoot her shot with a guy who has a boyfriend. She initially met him at a time when she was in a relationship, but remembers having instant chemistry with him. She’s now single, and wondering if she should reconnect with him, despite his relationship status. “You can’t base the rest of your life on someone’s potential.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E669 Ask Nick - I Need to Stop a Wedding in 2 Weeks 11/20/2023

E669 Ask Nick - I Need to Stop a Wedding in 2 Weeks 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 whether or not Nick and Natalie would/should have a choreographed first dance at their wedding, and what their first song will be. We also read a submission from someone who is wondering if it’s bad to never fight in relationships. We then get to our callers. Our first caller recently broke off her engagement, but now wants to make it work. She ended things because she wasn’t ready to get married yet, despite pushing for the engagement, but wants to know if her relationship is even worth saving. Our second caller’s mom can’t stop getting ghosted. She’s been divorced for about a year and wants to be in a committed relationship again, but every man she talks with online eventually ghosts her when she tries to make plans to meet in person. Our final caller needs to stop a wedding in two weeks. Her male friend is getting married soon, but he recently sent our caller inappropriate messages and she’s wondering whether she should tell his fiance and possibly stop the wedding. “Rejection is just clarity that these men aren’t your guy.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E666 Ask Nick - My Gay BFF Is in Love With Me 11/13/2023

E666 Ask Nick - My Gay BFF Is in Love With Me 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 check-in with Ali, who just moved back home to Minnesota. We also read a submission from a writer-iner who is married, but has a crush on her coworker. She’s been lacking a spark with her husband, and wants to know if there is any harm in an innocent crush to fill that void. We then get to our callers. Our first caller’s gay best friend is in love with her. He’s been confessing his feelings to their friend group and it’s making her extremely uncomfortable. She’s not sure where these feelings are coming from, or how to address them. Our second caller worries her boyfriend’s job is ruining their relationship. Her boyfriend owns a business and dedicates practically all his time to that, leaving our caller to feel unwanted and unloved. He’s never reassured her that he wants to be with her long term, so she’s not sure why she’s sticking it out. Our final caller can’t move on from her situationship. This is their second time situationing, yet there has still been no progress to an actual relationship. She’s wondering if there’s any hope, or if not, how she can possibly let go. “The only way to save this is to break up with him.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E663 Ask Nick - Should We Get Married for a Visa? 11/06/2023

E663 Ask Nick - Should We Get Married for a Visa? 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 jobs we missed out on and a restaurant’s policy on charging a surcharge for “bad parenting.” We also read a submission from a writer-iner who asked a friend to be a flower girl in her wedding. She’s having a small wedding party, and wanted to include her work friend and thought this would be a nice way to do so. However, the friend was aghast at the suggestion of being a 27-year old flower girl. We then get to our callers. Our first caller wants to break up with her boyfriend, but hasn’t yet because she’s not sure how to handle the financial component. She’s currently unemployed as she studies for the BAR exam, so he pays for most aspects in her life, but she’s not sure if she can continue in the relationship despite this. Our second callers are wondering if they should continue their pattern of being unhinged, and get married. They’ve only been dating for a year and have already hit many relationship milestones, like moving in together and potentially buying a house. They’re wondering if they should hit the next milestone by getting married in order to obtain a Visa. Our final caller has a crush on her male friend, and is trying to figure out if he’s into her. Their mutual friend group is going on a trip soon, and they’ll be sharing a hotel room, and she wants to start putting out feelers if he might be interested in being more than friends. We help her craft an Instagram DM to send to him. “This is a classic #BookTok scenario.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

Our second caller might be overthinking her current situationship. She hasn’t dated in a while, and recently moved to a new city, where she’s been talking to someone, and can’t tell whether she’s holding onto the relationship because she’s lonely, or if it’s time to give it up. Our final caller recently moved in with her boyfriend and his newborn, and is struggling to make the relationship work. The mother of the child is making matters difficult for our caller, but her boyfriend doesn't seem to understand she’s struggling as well. “Your time is not infinite.

E656 Ask Nick - The Man I Want to Marry Asked for a Break 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 long-debated and all-important question, can men and women be friends? We debate if they should act differently towards women that are in relationships? And, is kissing on the cheek as a greeting acceptable if they’re not European? We dive into it all. We then get to our callers. Our first caller’s ex reaches out everytime his wife is pregnant, and she’s not sure why. She seeks our guidance on why he’s been reaching out during these pivotal moments, but we ask why she’s been responding. Our second caller is dating the man she wants to marry, but he just asked for a break. They recently got in a heated discussion over money, which resulted in him asking for a break, and she wants to know how to improve their communication so they can mend their relationship and get back together. Our final caller needs help asking out a guy she’s been talking to for six months. She’s scared of rejection, but tired of waiting for him to ask her out, so we help her craft a message. “Make him feel safe.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E653 Ask Nick with Eli Rallo - My Situationship Wants Me to Take His Virginity 10/16/2023

E653 Ask Nick with Eli Rallo - My Situationship Wants Me to Take His Virginity 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. This week, we are joined by special guest Eli Rallo for relationship and dating advice. Before getting to our callers, Eli discusses her new book I Didn’t Know I Needed This, which outlines the lifespan of a relationship. She also shares her two favorite dating tips. We then get to our callers. Our first caller ran into an old friend at a wedding, and isn’t sure if she was reading his cues right, and should try and ask him out. We help her craft a message to send to him. Our second caller’s situationship/coworker asked her to take his virginity, and it went “horrifically.” She has feelings for him, and is wondering how to remedy the awkward situation, and make her feelings known to him. Our final caller’s girlfriend said “I love you” after only a few weeks of dating, and she didn’t say it back. This is her first healthy relationship, so she’s worried she won’t be sure when she’ll know she’s there. “We love that for you.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.

E650 Ask Nick - How Do I Save My Relationship After Cheating? 10/09/2023

E650 Ask Nick - How Do I Save My Relationship After Cheating? 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 bed-times and how many hours we need each night to not be crabby. We also read a submission from someone who got a Navy Diver’s number, and needs help crafting a message. We then get to our callers. Our first caller needs help deciding if she should break up with her boyfriend. The relationship is going very well, and her friends and family love him, but she can’t help but feel like something’s missing. Our second caller’s boyfriend seems to be going through a quarter-life crisis, but she’s not sure if she’s the crisis. After 5 years together, he recently told her he’s not sure if he wants to get married, have children, or be in a relationship at all. She’s not sure if these sentiments are true, or if he’s just aging. Our final caller is wondering how to save his relationship after cheating. His girlfriend recently moved out, forcing him to return home across the country, so he’s wondering if he can salvage his relationship, and how. “Relationships take f*cking work, man.” Start your 7 Day Free Trial of Viall Files + here: Please make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to to be a part of our Monday episodes.
