Are You the Crazy Ex? with Nick Viall

Dear Media
About this episode

We’ve all done some crazy ex things, or at least thought about it, but does that make it ok? We’re joined by our friend, fellow podcaster, and new dad Nick Viall to discuss crazy ex behavior, the things we do (from the minor to the major leagues), and how to hold back from those angry urges. We discuss why it hurts so badly when someone betrays you (or even worse, when they move on), how social media makes us crazy during breakups, and the controversial question of “Is it ok to sleep with an ex’s friend for revenge?” We also break down our listeners’ “Psycho of Power Move” submissions and they are WILD. Before Nick joins us, we’re discussing Ashley’s secret doctor visits, whether a move by Rayna’s recent date was hot or not, and the notion that “Gen Z thinks making out is hotter than sex.” Enjoy! 

Follow Nick on Instagram @NickViall and TikTok @nickviall, check out his podcast The Viall Files, and get his book Don’t Text Your Ex Happy Birthday.
