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!!!

Used to be a fan of this podcast. But lately, there are too many unnecessary guests and guests I don’t know or don’t care about. They don’t add any value to the show. I’d rather just heard the households opinions and have a guest for going deeper. And this new rapid recap is realllllly unnecessary. It’s not a recap more of giving Natalie her 5 minutes.

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.

Tried to listen to Jeremiah podcast but Nick kept saying “like” too much and wasn’t a good interviewer!

I listen sometimes when they have guests I like but even then it's hard to listen. Nicks voice just hurts my ears. I feel dumber after listening to this podcast. Like who even cares what they talk about 95% of the time.

I was excited to listen to their Jeramiah episode but could not get through 5 minutes of it! He would not stop talking about himself and let him speak!!! So unprofessional and inappropriate as an interviewer. Humble yourself nick. We care more about the guests than you and your listeners have heard your story thousands of times!!

I’ve never written a review for a podcast! I started listening to this last year when the first season of SLOMW came out. I was immediately hooked! I listen almost daily. I love how quickly he has gotten the LI stars on, SLOMW cast and I like listening to their takes and opinions! I really like Natalie too! She’s so funny and she reminds me of myself! I really like the interview style & it’s like nothing is held back!! I saw a review that said he was condescending and I respectfully DISGAREE I think he comes across as unbiased & matter of fact!! People just don’t like different opinions !!

How many times is Nick going to say fans is short for fanatics

Please speak normally, your ad reading voice is annoying enough to stop listening.

you clearly don’t watch all of love island and are the experts?? Charlie said he hit Nic’s lip playing football

I was on a bit of an Ask Nick binge for a few days listening to people’s stories but had to stop. Nick’s inability to allow women to finish their thoughts is so gross. The condescension disguised as “tough love” is hard to listen to. When I listened to one where he let a guy ramble on and on for 5 straight minutes about their on and off relationship without interruption, the double standard was clear. Nick maybe look into why you innately don’t respect what women have to say. Unfollowing this one

Am I the only one who does not care for allll the love island interviews and recaps?? When they do manage to get some actual celebrities on the entire podcast has a very difficult time interviewing them, the questions are not very well thought out or significant, seems nick can only do a “good” interview when it’s someone he considers beneath him in some way

To those that have complex or surgical birth experiences and recoveries, no maternity leave, no family or village for support, work risky full time daily jobs, have PPD or PPA, have colicky babies, or in general have a need or want for extra support PP - those are all valid needs to hire help in whatever capacity you need. Postpartum is not a time to be alone or isolated, or ever judged for asking for help. This was a disappointing conversation and likely triggering for all the moms and dads who have ever had to ask for help.

There’s one person in the “family” Mary who has the most terrible takes and gives me second hand embarrassment I have to skip forward because you can tell the rest of the family is also cringing LOL other than that great 😂

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” and “literally”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? Do these people have brains? It’s so boring. Unfollow.

I've been listening to the show for years and really enjoy the Ask Nick episodes. I highly recommend the show to others!

I’ve been a fan of Viall Files since the beginning. The household is great and fit perfectly together. I really enjoyed the interview with Tyler and Tate and wish we got more couple from bachelor nation interviews. I love that you’re covering love Island again and it’s one of my favorite episodes to listen to when you post your reality recaps.

The way nick constantly stigmatizes and fear mongers around herpes is annoying and gross

Guests are on the upswing! Loving the 2022 refresh, moving away from the Tik Tok stars🙏😍 2025 update - sadly I don’t listen to the “Ask Nick” episodes anymore, they seem to be the subject Nick’s most passionate about but his perspective seems to have narrowed, and his privileged “protect men” mentality and judgement of child-free families is really hard to listen to.

I used to love this show. It’s become truly brutal to listen to now. “LITERALLY,” is said by one obnoxious girls as a response to EVERYTHING. I cannot believe it’s the same show.

One of my favorite pods to keep up with all things pop culture but it’s frustrating to hear them stick to the no politics thing so concretely especially with everything going on in the world. Having a daughter and a wife that just went through pregnancy loss, you’d think some of these things would be on his radar. Also it’s just not FAR right proposing the household vote. Conservatives are proposing things left and right that will make it harder for women to vote. These guys need to get a reality check.
