I truly enjoy the episodes and the ‘Ask Nick’ segments! The insights and advice are always engaging and thought provoking. I look forward to more episodes and can’t wait to see what’s next!

I was unsure at first because of how long the episodes are but once I gave them a chance - love the show.
Recommendation : while I was on maternity leave this summer with our second child I started watching Married to Medicine from season 1. OBSESSED!!! Hands down better than some housewives and I watch every franchise. Highly recommend yall start watching!!!

I still enjoy listening to this podcast, mostly the guest interviews and reality recaps, but the other reviews are right. I love Nick (always have since the bachelor) because he’s authentic. However, Natalie’s voice grates on my ears and whoever said to turn down her mic was spot on. Justin gets on my nerves too; he’s obviously very young and immature. They both are! Need someone else to balance out Nick’s age and maturity level.

i mostly love this podcast and the themes it explores. i enjoy nick’s on-air advice column. it’s surprising how good his advice is for not being a practicing therapist; he truly has a gift. and i love the reality recaps and going deeper episodes. i enjoyed the podcast more when there were less people in the “household.” they all seem to scramble to talk at the same time. the energy becomes too frenetic. i would enjoy it more if there were less household members or if they were on just once a week. it’s *painful* to listen to natalie’s voice cadence, she speaks like a robotic high schooler and she has an air of beings so pretentious and fame-hungry. it takes away from all that’s good about the podcast.
sadly, i now find myself turning off the podcast because Natalie is SO obnoxious. she gives off this pompous, arrogant vibe. WHY is she leading some of these interviews?!?! why? it’s so off-putting the way she interjects and interrupts guests and just takes over interviews. the more episodes i listen to, the worse she is, the more she oversteps, and the less prominent nick’s voice is. today i had to turn off the podcast because of this. i know i am not alone in thinking this.
please, nick, keep the interviews between you and your guest.
i’m also completely confused with the imbalance of ages between nick and the “household.” i wish there would be others on the team closer in age to nick. it’s just weird to have a wise host in his 40’s and everyone else was just in high school kid just a few years ago (in fact, justin even commented on that in the episode i listened to today). it’s just odd and makes me wish for more.
i am leaving 3 stars, but…the rating would be 5 stars if natalie wasn’t part of going deeper interviews. she’s ruining this podcast.
Please take note of all the feedback people are leaving and make changes, because Nick and his show are great, the others…not so much.

I was really concerned for the VP+ caller who had the story about the creepy ex who door-dashed her a burger and shake months after no contact. That sounds like the actions of someone unstable and it’s unsettling that he knows her address. If she reads these reviews- girl, this gesture wasn’t flattering, but rather a warning sign. I’d recommend letting your building security know about him, just in case he shows up unannounced. Dating show podcasters, Nick especially with his new men’s rights sensibilities, have a habit of minimizing scary actions from dudes-but if you feel uncomfortable always listen to your gut <3

I used to be a loyal listener of the Viall Files, from back in its earliest days years ago. Unfortunately, I can’t bring myself to listen anymore although I’ve really, really tried. Ever since Natalie became a prominent fixture, the show has gone severely downhill. She is simply loud, immature, & contributes nothing but self-centeredness (& constantly making fun of Nick) to this podcast. While the rest of the “household” isn’t the greatest either, Natalie is insufferable. I’ve sadly given up on what used to be one of my favorite podcasts because of her.
