I’ve been a long time fan of the pod. I love the hot topics and reality recaps. I do think Nick needs the ladies there to keep him in check though. The Ask Nick episodes have gotten really rough. Do we need an over 2 hour episode on him telling 3 female callers they are dumb? Most of those callers seem planted these days as well.

Nick needs to take his platform back. It really has become the Natalie show. It’s quite a shame…

I used to listen religiously and just started to again after about a year off. The most recent Ask Nick was so weird. He barely let the first caller talk and wasn’t addressing her original question. He just kept talking about himself and then told her people don’t like her? It was so uncomfortable and weird and didn’t seem helpful at all.

Your advice is so bad. Like SO bad and SO repetitive. Come on, these people can listen back. You don’t hav to repeat the same thing 305 times. Nick you gotta get a handle on this pod. In specific ask Nick. Like once again. So bad. Natalie your comments about the air wrap were so rude

This can be a very frustrating podcast to listen to sometimes. I really enjoy the exclusive interviews his podcast gets and he does keep his interviewees honest, and points out any holes or inconsistencies in their stories. He generally doesn’t pander to guests, and gets pretty great info and perspectives from them. Now for my gripes, Nick really does think he is right ALL THE TIME. It’s like he went to therapy and is now the authority on right and wrong. He feels so empowered by his therapy journey that he is qualified to share his findings with his guests, his callers, and his cohosts. If his cohosts express an opposite opinion than him, he will talk over them until they wind up conceding with “fair”, or “I see your point”, just to end the conversation and move on from that topic. You’ll notice Natalie often will step in to soften what he’s saying or explain his feelings because they often have a similar opinion. Why ask other co-hosts to share their opinion only to essentially force them to backtrack so that your opinion supersedes everyone else’s? Why have co-hosts at all? He also tends to side with men who are in the wrong because he’s been vilified by the media and wants people to empathize with them. Listen, normal people who watch these shows do realize that people mess up and make stupid decisions on camera, you don’t need to empathize with every man having a tough time on reality tv. They’ll probably be okay and have a good edit the next season. Female fan bases seem to forget the misgivings of men and internalize misogyny that makes them hate the women on these shows. So have your opinions on whomever you think is truly right vs. wrong, but be cognizant of how you put down woman to apologize for men’s behavior.

Nick can be so egotistical it’s insane. Not even that, sometimes his advice is just so off based and wrong but he thinks he knows it all. What even credentials do you even have? None. I love this latest ask nick where two of the guests disagree with him. You are so off base to say that girl has no right to be upset that her bf went after a job that she was interviewing for. Are you okay? What planet are you even on? Please get a grip and look at your own relationship before you try and play god.

I love advice podcasts. At first I thought I finally found one that was interesting enough to listen to. However, After listening for a few months I’m realizing how Nick’s approach to men is MUCH different than how he approaches women. It’s the pathetic validation to all the men’s feelings but then turning around and throwing women’s feelings in their face. I think Nick had potential for an interesting podcast.. Ask Nick is just not giving what he thinks it is.

The last episode got me a little upset when Nick was annoyed at katie bringing up white man privilege for Clayton. He aired out two women’s sexual history on tv, broke up w/ them at the same time then went on to have a successful career & maintained his fame. That is LITERALLY privilege. That doesn’t happen for everyone. I’m gonna assume Nick was a little triggered bc he probably gets this comment a lot personally.

One of my most listened to pods, especially the ask Nick episodes. Nick always has a perspective that is interesting and straightforward, but often unexpected.

Horrible and so hypocritical . Please do not have her on again . For her to say because he's a white, straight male that his feelings don't matter and he should just take it because he will always "win" is wrong and ignorant on so many levels . She completely disregarded the importance of his mental health as a human being. I've followed Clayton's story for a long time and he has struggled immensely, she shouldn't speak on things she's knows nothing about. I've lost the little respect I had left for her . Thank you for trying to put things back into perspective a bit.

Okay. Katie’s take on white men deserving hate just because they are white men is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Please never have her on again. Love Natalie tho!!!

PLS PUT TIME Stamps

Katie’s presence on you podcast today was actually infuriating. She’s so mean, negative, and miserable. The conversation about Clayton was absolutely ridiculous on her part and for her to claim that any white man deserves criticism and no grace is actually so embarrassing. Thank you Nick for being rational and pointing out her drastic statements and hypocrisy. Please don’t have her on again I literally hate that she has a platform to spew intolerance and cruelty.

Listen, your views and lean towards liberalism is rough to listen to at times, but I can still enjoy your show. This latest episode with Katie and Dana was impossible to listen to. I unfollowed their show shortly after following because their toxic liberal views are insufferable and they just brought it onto this episode. Truly, break ties with them. Spreading that toxicity, putting down men-it’s out of line. Leave men alone. I have a son and I am disgusted to hear women talk about men in general like that.

This should be rebranded Misogyny with Nick Viall.

Lately Nick seems very defensive of the straight white male. We’re all human, however, given your diverse collection of cohosts please consider your audience. We don’t care about the straight white male struggle right now. Especially in this climate. Usually look forward to episodes but lately I find myself gritting my teeth when Nick speaks over his cohosts. Love Natalie though!

I love Natalie and Nick! I'm so glad you two found each other. It's fun listening to you. ♥️ Thank you for being so vulnerable. Thinking about you guys. Nick is one of the best podcasters out there. He gives honest feedback and great advice. He is an awesome interviewer. One of the few I've heard recently who doesn't talk over all his guests, who asks tough questions respectfully, and who does his research on the guests beforehand. Love the banter in the household. So glad Natalie is permanently on the show now too. Love your dynamic!

I have been listening since the beginning… The Viall Files had always been my go-to podcast but unfortunately it has become unbearable to listen/watch. Not sure exactly what happened—if it was a perfect storm or losing Ali/Amanda, adding Natalie, ego from popularity or what. They don’t research/watch things before they make conclusions about it to their audience. You barely know your guests. Quoting people/situations incorrectly and giving a hard opinion on it. Also, being on reality tv 10 years ago does not make you relatable to this new era of reality stars/production anymore. Things change and experiences are different and Nick shuts everyone down who doesn’t have the same experiences as him.

I understand debates and chatting about the shows for recaps. However, nick really needs to work on letting people speak. He asks a question and then cuts everyone off so we can’t hear what they have to say. Especially sweet boy Justin; cuts him off non stop. We want to hear what these people have to say. And also, we get it… you were on reality tv. It’s been said every episode. We get it.

Nick is literally getting dumber being surrounded by these idiots on his team. Some of it is very embarrassing for him. In the Tom and Victoria episode, he said he sees a very big difference in the Tom now compared to the Tom who was on the show previously. A complete 360. 360 degrees is a circle you idiot. It takes you from one point right back to where you started, forming a circle. The complete opposite would be 180. 180 degrees is on the opposite side of where you started. And for the last time, it’s pedeSTAL, not pediSTOOL.

Two narcs pretending they’re not narcs and on top of that, the episode was super boring.

This podcast just isn’t that great. I’ve heard Nick is kinda douche so I thought it would be fun to listen to. But it’s wayyyy too douchey.

The conservative leaning is showing Nick. You claim to be one way yet are so ignorant.

I really enjoyed Tom and Victoria on the show today. I hope Tom picks up his own podcast again!

You cant do anything better (episode 907 in first 3 minutes)than discuss a female employee as she watches what Nick calls sick porn, during the show? And Nick knows what it is, other young female employee giggles? Harassment. Disgusting. Hope the lawyers find you.

I absolutely LOVE the “Ask Nick” episodes!!! I have a degree in psychology and I’ve seen therapists for many years and no one has ever been so spot on or given such amazing advice! Nick, you’re a natural! Please do more “Ask Nick” episodes!!! ❤️

That “reunion” or whatever you want to call it was so disappointing. It was like the people went on TikTok live and just were rambling. The TikTok lives prolly would have been better. The hosts did nothing to really ask the important questions. Even editing it down would have been better. Horrible don’t waste your time

Yikes

I used to tune in every week a few months ago but lately ALL of the hosts seem to be rude, condescending, and overall don’t agree with any of their takes anymore. Sorry but had to drop my rating from 4 stars to 1.

Not a fan. He belittles his guests and talks as though he’s god’s gift to man. TEXTBOOK Misogynist. NEXTTTT.

Ask Nick is the best. Learned/changed more listening to this than decades of therapy! “Don’t text your Ex” book he wrote is also solid esp. after listening to the pod. Highly recommend!

Nick, you are a great host! Love the episodes with Victoria Fuller. Girrrrl we love you! Come back to the pod!

Great host who is kind even if his guests aren’t always so nice. He’s insightful with a lot of common sense. I only wish there had been podcasts like this when I was dating in my 20’s and 30’s. My favorite thing is he is honest without being hurtful or condescending.

I used to enjoy listening but I can’t help but notice that Nick comes across as a stubborn, immature guy who refuses to grow up, despite being too old to act this way. His dismissive attitude toward women’s experiences, along with his misogynistic behavior, makes him exhausting to listen to. On top of that, he keeps smoking weed even though his wife clearly wants him to stop, which just adds to his clueless, inconsiderate nature.

Nick is just dumb. He has an incessant need to contradict everyone. He’s also veering to the right and idolizes people with money.

The HM conversation was difficult to watch. Nick's approach towards Heather seemed interrogative and based on unfounded accusations, especially given the readily available evidence on the JB website and in the court documents. The exchange felt awkward, it was giving Tom Sandoval’s lack awareness, and an inability to reflect and shift.

I used to really enjoy hearing Nick’s point of view over the last few years, but I feel that over the last year or so his opinions/thoughts have taken a turn for the worst. We have to remember that at the end of the day he really is just a man, and *most* men hate women. It’s interesting that he is so supportive of Blake but then trashes every other woman (Ciara, Paige, etc.) who hold men accountable for their actions. The fact that he is villainizing these women for leaving their toxic relationships and being upset for being mistreated and taken advantage of is disturbing. The only reason he is supportive of Blake is because of Ryan. I still listen to the podcast because I like the reality recaps and interviews but listening to his opinions (that he’s formed through lack of information and critical thinking) is starting to become unbearable. Natalie’s resentment and condescending comments towards him are just icing on the cake.

This podcast is still trash. Heather McDonald was being gracious by coming on your show. You and your nobody wife try to insult your guests. It’s SO embarrassing. The way you both speak to people is belittling and incredibly “icky” as you would say. You are also aging incredibly poorly for what it’s worth.

Only thing that makes this podcast relevant is the guests that are of the moment in pop culture. He however is insufferable. What grown mans job is to sit around with other young women gossiping. He does not offer any critical thought and goes off on feelings on a lot of his points and while conversing with some guests. He is not self aware and I can’t fathom how people even listen to this still.

Ads would be tolerable if you read them in a quieter/library voice rather than a booming 1930s radio announcer voice (which is really incongruous with the tenor/volume of the show itself) 🙏

I like parts of this podcast but I feel like there’s too much in each episode and I don’t like all the reality shows, etc that they discuss. Even time stamps would be useful. Sometimes I only want to hear about bachelor, not every reality show in existence.

Nick does nothing but argue with the people he has on his podcast. He never allows anybody to have a different opinion than him and if they do he gives them an attitude and talks over them. Why even have them on? He just sounds miserable. I’m sure there is trouble in paradise

Why does that one girl always talk in a weird way when she is trying to make a point? It sounds like she is holding her breath and then She nervously speaks. It’s so CRINGE Just speak in a normal voice please. If she wasn’t in the household the pod would be way better. 5 stars without her. DUMP her.

Nick was a toxic immature man then married a 24 year old who publicly cheated on him so it tracks he is support f these two when clearly Emmy is struggling and needs help and is showing signs of abuse. Absolutely disgraceful that this man has a platform and he brings his cheating wife on. Embarrassing for NV and again he choose the wrong side of history

Smug and uninteresting

Nicks the worst.

I can’t listen to any episode right now other than Ask Nick because you’re reality tv in every other episode. I watch all the staples but I have 2 young kids so I’m not necessarily always caught up on all of them all the time. I have to skip most of your episodes. Can you keep your RR to one episode a week like you used to?

Nick, I don’t mind that you have a differing opinion to HM on the Blake/Justin issue, and I don’t even know the whole story. My issue is that you tell HM to come with facts, but your “facts” against Justin are your feelings you got after meeting him. No real facts. Please don’t ever get on jury duty. This podcast is just a competition amongst everyone to see who can use the word “like” the most. Also, can you turn down Natalie’s mic? I have to skip forward with her. She’s not funny. She’s obnoxious. She’s overly loud and dramatic. She acts like a high school girl. Why is this podcast so long? It’s so boring. Unfollow.

he’s a blake fan 🥴

The way y’all ride SO hard for Blake and then are so anti women when it comes to the LIB women is WILD and super gross.
