I’ve felt the side hosts have gone downhill the past few years. Some are cringe to listen to. But lately I’ve been loving the vibe with Susie and Jimmy Sotos. Definitely found the right mix. They’re SMART which is a nice change and have much better banter with Nick. Keep them on and ditch the others.

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 truly loved The Viall Files, especially the relationship advice. I’ve genuinely appreciated Nick’s perspective on relationships and have listened because I found a lot of value in those conversations.
That said, his stance on the Lindsay Clancy trial was incredibly disappointing and, honestly, appalling to me. There is far too much evidence and too many unanswered questions involving her husband and the circumstances surrounding what happened to confidently say that Lindsay did it. After the mistrial, I especially cannot understand how anyone could claim with 100% certainty that she was responsible.
This was not a simple case, and I think presenting such a complicated situation as though there is absolutely no room for doubt is incredibly irresponsible. There are serious questions that deserve to be acknowledged, regardless of what anyone personally believes happened.
I can no longer separate that judgment from the person whose opinions I was listening to and trusting. Because of this, I won’t be listening to The Viall Files anymore. It’s unfortunate because I truly did love the relationship content, but this was a line I can’t get past.
NicoleKay1234 · Sep 2026
After listening to the latest advice episode, I was genuinely shocked to hear Nick tell a woman who discovered on her wedding night that her husband was cheating that, one day, it would be a “great story.” That comment was incredibly ignorant and dismissive of the trauma she was experiencing.
I went through something very similar myself, and I’m now 10 years removed from it, with several years of therapy behind me. I can tell you firsthand that an experience like that doesn’t simply become a great story. The trauma can fundamentally change you as a person, and healing from it can take years.
There is a huge difference between offering an opinion and giving advice about deeply traumatic experiences. Nick’s comments in this episode made it clear that he doesn’t understand that distinction. Please stop giving therapy-like advice when you aren’t qualified to do so. You’re not good at it, and comments like this can be incredibly harmful to people who are already hurting.
