You have 30 minutes of “real concise-FUN-Entertaining content, Yet you take 2 hrs to say it over and over. Your guests are clearly tired by then with same topic. ‼️Redundant semantics with nothing new. Get it? 🤨 ‘Come On we’re not all GenZ.’ We DO hear you the first time! Lastly, 💫 ASK NICK needs to go ‘Judge Ann Landers.’ Just ask Dr. Ruth. 🙏🏼 mahalo

I’m sad what happened to this podcast. I think they forgot the average age of their listeners. And his wife may be GenZ, but he for sure ain’t and neither are most of us who follow him from the bachelor

What experience or qualifications to see how to actually give meaningful and helpful advice? Also, please someone count up how many times he says “you know “or “like “per episode …

It’s the same thing over and over his wife his daughter and little time spent on the guest interview.

Nick, I love your podcast. I love your POVs. Your takes are spot on. But your staff…? Not so much. The whole segment about Taylor swift and the new heights podcast was so hard to listen to because their takes and predictions were SO wrong. They weren’t even in the same realm and were so different from your predictions. You understand the industry and your staff does not. I am available for hire lol I’d quit my day job

Would love to interview your former cohosts Allie and Amanda in a “where are they now?”

Someone should get fired for the new reality recaps. Also, nick is so gross to talk about the high five he received for what he thinks was a pelvic floor “status” congratulations. OBs check the size of your uterus after birth, not the strength of your pelvic floor ya moron. I have a visceral reaction every time he mentions this 😂

As a mom to a little girl I learned you can take River to her pediatrician to get her ears pierced. I had to pass on the knowledge. Also a tattoo shop is probably cleaner than Claire’s, RIP. Anyways love listening 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

why are these pods so long? To listen to a bunch of twenty year olds talk about their mindless days?

I used to be a huge fan of The Viall Files. While not a “Day 1” listener, I started a few years ago, loved it so much I binged the older episodes. Unfortunately, it’s no longer my "go-to". Natalie often dominates conversations, loudly pushing her opinions or putting Nick down, despite his constant praise of her as “a star.” The “Reality Recap” feels rushed, scripted, and robotic, missing the natural flow the show once had. It seems like Mary prepares most of it, but Natalie takes over, forcing herself into the spotlight. A real discussion would be far more engaging. About half the guests are low-profile, so I skip those episodes. The “household” feels too young and unbalanced. Justin, who was once a great contributor, now barely speaks, likely because Nick and Natalie shut him down. The show would benefit from more Nick and far less of everyone else, especially Natalie.

When Tamera says John Jansen is a “good guy” how do you not respond with “what good guy sue’s their down and struggling ex-girlfriend” that’s why Shannon can’t get close to you, Tamera. Good Grief. Should have asked follow up questions.

This show would be so much better if Nick would allow his co host to have an opinion.

I wish the show would spend more time on recaps of reality show. They spend 2 minutes recapping an episode and there is so much more to recap. The ask nick episodes doesn’t need to be that loooooong it’s so boring. I usually look to see what the callers’ topics are then decide to listen or not. Most of the time I skip Monday episodes.

What a coward! The about-face you did with Tamra should be embarrassing. You talk so bold just to cower with your tail between your legs. What a joke of a podcaster. Such hard hitting questions ooooo 😂

Yes-it was no accident that Rachel and Clayton ended up on that show. They were there to confirm that they ARE NOT meant for each other. Leave Clayton alone! Rachel will be fine. Just look at her IG.

This show has gone downhill. It used to be my favorite show and it’s gotten out of control. First off, WTH are these new reality recaps that Natalie reads off? If I needed a bad summary of a show, I’d ask chat gpt. The nonstop interrupting that Natalie does while guests are on is painful to listen to. Cut it!!! Grow up! I also rarely hear Justin give his input anymore, seems like he’s just as over this show as most his listeners What has really pushed me over the edge was the feet pics Natalie posts on instagram. Like gross Natalie, cut it! No one needs to see that!!!

You are so far up her a**. Tamara is a liar and a revisionist. SHE’S a BLOGGER- DUH I just unfollowed!

I personally love the Ask Nick episodes, they’re my favorites. I love hearing relatable drama and tea. All the other episodes are also cool if you’re into reality tv/celeb gossip! I listen to this podcast daily!

Nick has a way of relating to every call-in on the ask nick episodes, they’re so entertaining. He’s the perfect combo of blunt and helpful. All the reality recaps and going deeper episode interviews are executed in a way that keep you hooked. My favorite pod.

Absolutely hate the addition of the Mint Mobile new ‘hot take’ segment. Obviously sponsored by Ryan Reynolds…. Awful, hate it

I don’t understand all the hate comments, I LOVE this podcast. I literally listen religiously, it’s part of my daily rotation of podcasts and also am a plus member! What got me hooked was the relationship episodes but ever since they pivoted into pop culture, I’m obsessed! I now find myself looking forward to those more than the relationship ones but might be because I’m taking a break from dating at the moment. They always get all the good guests!!! And Nick gives therapy level advice. He might as well get licensed he’s that good. Literally, feels like we are all watching the shows together and debriefing. Also, agree that Natalie is a star! And love how the way Natalie talks has rubbed off on Nick. ‘Huuuhh’ It’s so cute and funny! Keep doing great work! F the haters!

The asks nicks are preachy and annoying. Each questions takes up to much time. The guest episodes are way better!!!

I used to really enjoy it, but feel like now there are two many “guests” coming on the show that are not relevant to the discussion. I do not want to listen to people promoting a movie I am not going to watch. I’m not here for promotions I’m here to listen to relevant pop culture discussion, which lately, there has been less of due to these types of guests.

Commercials…..

I used to love the podcast and listened every time was released. Lately I just cannot stand how much Nick is pushing his wife career Natalie in every single episode. In the beginning, I kind of like that I was like go support your wife, but eventually just got boring it’s just it’s too much of that . I think she’s very funny and have amazing personality. However, this pushing is just a little annoying in this point just doesn’t feel natural. Let her be the star you say she will be by herself not like literally throwing her in everybody throat. She will make it herself! In this point you are doing her disservice.

Maybe listen to one interview of Alex Cooper, we all know you and your story, you do not need to repeat your self every time. And can we get to the point?!? So much talk from your part, let them talk!!!

The worst host ever….you were horrible to Whitney on the reunion. Be objective 🙄

The way Natalie interviews like she’s laughing crying screaming getting the juicy gossip from her girls is so cringe and over the top.

Why is Ciara on this podcast? Her vocal fry, the annoying valley girl laugh, no takes of any value, excessive use of “whatnot”… her and nepoNatalie are just too much to take both of. And then Leah and the other woman also feel redundant. Justin is just kind of there. What this overcrowded “household” does not do is compensate for the void left behind by Amanda & Allie. They were thoughtful, well spoken, mature, and intelligent. Now it’s adult Nick leading an army of like five very young sounding minions… we feel the loss and miss what this podcast used to be or what it could be. Time to revamp before Natalie pushes him aside to take over as army general.

Nick and Natalie and the crew have such a lack of understanding of racial dynamics and how they contribute to nuance. I used to like this podcast but this is an issue that shows up time and time again and it’s exhausting

I have grown to love this podcast so much, specifically the reality recap episodes. Keep them coming!!!!

I love the show and the perspective from Nick. He has great insight and advice! Natalie and him are so great together on the show as well.

Very bad

No matter how good the podcast is or how many people validate you. You and most of your guest are racists. The micro-aggression is crazy. The people who agree with you are the same type people as you. Of course they wouldn’t notice the disgusting treatment of people that don’t look like them. It was one and done for me.

He’s incredibly biased against women of color, and this platform has given him the impression he’s an expert on life and relationships, human reactions and how to navigate the world. He’s the worst.

This show thrives on wishing for the downfall of fall of women, specifically women of color. Disgusting podcast.

Natalie. Nick deserves better. You are nothing but a pathetic wife. You are not successful. You are disgusting. You are ugly. You are fat. You preyed on Nick to get success and fame.

Wow, I’m honestly pretty shocked by some of these reviews. If you can’t handle listening to someone with a different opinion without labeling them a bad person, that says more about you than it does about them. I don’t always agree with everything Nick or anyone says, but that’s exactly why I love this podcast. It brings in different perspectives and healthy disagreements, which make the conversations real and thought-provoking. Some days I’m Team Nick, other days Team Natalie and that’s the beauty of it. I appreciate that Nick isn’t afraid to speak his mind, even if it’s not the popular take. Someone’s got to say it, and he always does. Love this podcast!

Stop talking over each other. It’s super chaotic

Love this show and how it has diversified over the years, but one thought…as an original fan of the show who came here for Bachelor/Bachelorette content and recaps - you spend a lot of time criticizing the show and speaking negatively about it and while I always am interested to hear your takes and want to know how you really feel, it has gotten to the point where you spend more time talking about how bad the show is the whole time than any real content. I still come to this podcast primarily for these recaps and am consistently feeling like it is your least favorite thing that you do/talk about. Maybe your goal is to eventually move on from the show all together and so that’s ok with you, but to me this is part of your job…the part that got you here and the part that keeps me coming back and I would like to hear more positive conversation and content about it. Respectfully - JLS

I listen to the viall files, every day when I’m at work. The only podcast that can actually keep my attention consistently. I also love that Nick does not follow cancel culture and he just keeps it real. I don’t want love island but I still listen to the podcast if that tells you anything. I watched nick on the viall files and I truly don’t understand why he did and still receives so much hate! I will continue to listen. Y’all are just haters. 🤗

(PLEASE)

He has a deep hatred of women and it’s so concerning that he has a daughter. He hates and bullies them and does not recognize that he is in a position of power. His comments about Huda are so white male/trad wife coded. He nor his wife have ever been a teenage Muslim single mom. They can’t talk on that experience. And bullying Whitney?!? She left a group chat and is getting cyber bullied by a coworker. It’s not the deep. If we used your logic, everyone should still be hating you since you are like the original boomer villain.

I used to listen to the Bachelor episodes because I liked Nick’s perspective on what the show was actually like + the honest and somewhat scathing character analysis 😂. Really dislike the reality recap format they’ve adapted where they talk about the Bachelor for 10 mins top and just complain that no one has star power. The vibe comes off that he thinks he’s above all the new, young cast members but then of course will still have them on for their tell all interviews. This podcast is now almost unlistenable. He has more staff than ever before yet no one is saying anything insightful. Not every minion needs a mic!! This goes for his wife too. She was a fun guest every once in a while but making her the co-host of the podcast?? Who asked for this?? She’s a terrible interviewer and most of her opinions are just regurgitations of Nick’s experience with reality TV. Surely there is someone more qualified to do this job?? Don’t they have enough bread for her to just stay home with their baby? 😅 We’d all be better off for it.

So many odd takes.. 1st. Interesting take is that snick is a “know it All” with EVERYONE on this show EXCEPT NATALIE. She schools Nick all over the place and he sits in shame and takes the beating. Otherwise he’s is so overbearing. Finally, he has hired all the kids who got picked LAST to be on a team and also they’re generations younger than Nick. This helps Nick to be the loudest voice on the room. Would love to see Nick add just ONE grown up to the conversation. He’s rough. Nicks game show host voice And the voices these ppl use hurt my brain. I e nene heard real ppl speak like this!please stop! 🙉🙊

So, you know fan stands fanatic?!?!

Tate found a friend in Natalie. Both engineered a relationship with a narcissist. Insufferable and desperate women are what a narcissist deserves. They’ll both end in divorce sadly. It’s never fun to be someone’s second or third choice. I will continue to pray for Tyler especially because his mother is now gone and he’s so confused about where to go next. Tate should go back to Ohio where she belongs and see if he comes there to redeem her. I know first hand he won’t.

Insufferable. Obnoxious. Pompous. First giving Gypsy Rose a platform and now Sherri Papini to push her book?! Yikes. Nick will do anything for a buck.

LAND THE PLANE NICK Please try asking 1 question at a time ? Idk I just listen here

Vile is problematic due to his hate for women and especially black woman. I do not care if you happened to have dated the first black bachelorette. Your reach is concerning and vile disseminates 🚩 propaganda just like Tate.
