The Viall Files

By: Nick Viall
  • Summary

  • 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.

    Oct 30 2024

    Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper, with Jaleel White!

    This week, the household isn’t the only family that matters, as we welcome Steve Urkel himself, Jaleel White to the studio! (Spoiler alert: he did in fact do that, but he’s also done so much more). We talk to Jaleel about his new book, experience as a child actor, Stefan, and how he’s met everyone but Madonna. Plus, a caller joins to get some absolutely incredible advice!

    “Behind the scenes there were a lot of ways in which I was always reminded that you’re not the star of the show.”

  • E830 Ask Nick - Am I The Crazy Ex?
    Oct 28 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of The Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! We start off the episode getting rid of the Sunday scaries and learning about “cobwebbing”. Then we get to our callers…

    Our first caller is wasting her last year of college on a situationship. Our second caller is worried she’s becoming the crazy ex. And, our third caller’s boyfriend likes his stuffed animal sloths more than her.

    “I have been sending him text messages non-stop.”
