Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! At the beginning of the episode, we discuss current pop culture topics such as Olivia Rodrigo’s new song and “professional friends” in LA, along with Skims saving a woman’s life and what Matt Damon and his wife agreed on in couple’s therapy. We also ask if you would rather have your text messages shared online, or have an ex write a song about you. 

Then, we are joined by Gina Kirschenheiter from The Real Housewives of Orange County to talk about this season’s drama, her relationships with her castmates, and how she is navigating her personal relationships with her partner and ex-husband. We dive into pop culture topics like Miranda Lambert stopping a show to selfie-shame, and Sofia Vergara’s divorce announcement. We also discuss Bebe Rexha posting screenshots of her boyfriends’ texts, and if that’s ever okay (during or after a relationship). We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who isn’t sure if her long term best friend is either protective or manipulative - she’s made some judgemental comments about her ex, the city she lives in, and the choices she’s making. 

“Is Jenn a mid-40s Pick Me?”
