E649 Going Deeper with Izzy Zapata - Lov...

Nick Viall
About this episode

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! First, the household gets together to discuss some recent pop culture headlines - like Special Forces Premiere Episode 2, the Kardashian’s acting careers, and Taylor attending a second Chiefs game. Then, we are joined by Izzy Zapata to talk about his time on Love is Blind Season 5. What led to his decision to propose to Stacy? Does he regret how he talked to Johnie at the barbecue? How has it been watching it back? We also have a Texting Office Hours caller whose best friend is skipping her wedding for a bachelor party, and she’s not sure how to move forward. 

“We’re not there to find friends, we’re there to find love.”
