While Nicole’s soaking up the sun in OBX, Sara jumps in to co-host with Rich! They dive into everything from Rich’s sneaky solo binge-watching habits, to 4th of July nostalgia, and why the glue is important for social get-togethers. Sara gets sentimental about recreating her childhood fireworks magic for the kids, and Rich has a moment of realization of a prank a good friend may have pulled years ago. Maybe. Also, why turning your home into your dream space might just be the ultimate life hack.

Did You Check On Them?! Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

On today’s episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich and Nicole tackle the ever-relatable struggle of staying cool while slowly slipping into “wait, am I old?” territory. Nicole vents about her kids treating Zoom like it’s a lawless wasteland, and special guest Sara drops in to rant about Emmy’s chaotic recital. There’s a wild ride through topics like questionable pillow hygiene, surprise catfishing confessions, and some truly bonkers Little League bat drama. HOA horror stories and roadkill confessions make an appearance, and Richie's roses even get a moment in the sun.

Hit follow so you don’t miss the madness next week—because parenting may be chaos, but at least we’re in it together.

SYBAU Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

On this week’s Have Kids, They Said, Rich recaps his CRC shenanigans in Vegas while Nicole lives out his Broadway dreams—and Nicole's Barry’s booty camp near disaster. Emmy’s dance recital was peak chaos, and somewhere in there, Nicole makes a graceful pivot... to lube. Parker pops in just long enough to school us on this summer’s hottest slang, then it’s back to Rich and Nicole for a neuro-hack to squash sibling squabbles, getting sick on vacation, and the TFIWK segment where they unpack Mother’s/Father’s Day expectations and a listener’s birthday bust.

Hit play, stay sane, and blame the kids later.

Tip Anxiety Jun 19, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Have Kids, They Said, Rich and Nicole spiral into the realities of aging — from desperate anti-wrinkle measures to making a blood pact never to become tech-illiterate dinosaurs. They take on tip anxiety in the modern age, celebrate National Mascot Day with exactly the right amount of enthusiasm (eh), and rally hard against the evils of voice-to-text. Rich gets preemptively heartbroken over his kids' future breakups, Nicole has a Bethos™ moment so big it deserves its own mascot, and parents everywhere get called out as the real source of teen angst. Also? Rich nearly goes full Sandlot Dad during a baseball drama.

Starfish, it's Provocative Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

This week, Rich and Nicole are calling out the myth of “catching up” and why it’s the most polite lie we all keep telling. They get into the everyday chaos of screentime rules no one sticks to, why Gen Z is crumbling under the weight of pay day gaps, and how apartment hunting in 2025 is basically a full-time job — especially when Matt drops the ball.

Nicole vents about kids treating their nannies like disposable help, and Rich opens up about the weird heartbreak of not being his kids' favorite anymore. Plus, a surprise movie quote quiz for Nicole, and Matt has lost his mind with fake celebrity deaths.

It’s fast, real, and funny in the way only Rich and Nicole can deliver.

Just Rub It In Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

This week, Rich and Nicole are all over the parenting map—from missed texts to missed headlines (Rich has no clue what’s happening in the world), and the Great Sunscreen Debate: spray vs lotion. Spoiler: Rich is not a fan of the rub-in.

Nicole gets real about sending Parker off to sleepaway camp, while Rich panics over not hanging out with the kids enough—and showing up to Little League in a full uniform like it’s 1998. They touch on the heartache of older kids moving out and younger ones feeling the void.

Hot topics? Travis Kelce’s new hair (Nicole’s not impressed), whether bird nesting post-divorce actually helps, and the eternal question: is it time for a cleaning lady?

TFIWK gets juicy: A listener calls out a husband favoring one kid—Rich and Nicole dive into how to keep things fair and fun in the fam. Plus, Rich breaks down love languages and drops a few spicy tips for keeping the spark alive.

Did we mention Nicole and Matt are celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary? Show them some love!

Not Too Tight Around the Middle Jun 05, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich and Nicole tackle everything from spring cleaning chaos to marital attraction, and can it ever be a bad thing? Nicole ties that into a classic Matt moment involving foot-in-mouth syndrome, while Rich spirals over the rise of kid sports and Emmy becoming socially independent (aka leaving him out). The duo also debates neighborhood dog etiquette, share Benny’s birthday antics, relive a baseball fight involving “team grandpa,” and cringe as Matt gives Keegan’s teammates ridiculous nicknames. Plus, Parker’s got viral snack requests for Rich’s NYC trip, and there’s talk of a wellness article promising total mind-body balance—sure, Jan.

Don’t miss the laughs, the love, and the low-key therapy session. Subscribe, share, and follow Have Kids They Said wherever you get your podcasts!

Saggy T*tt*es Jun 03, 2025

Show notes

On this episode of Have Kids They Said, Nicole is using the show as her personal GRWM moment—because why not podcast and contour at the same time? Meanwhile, Rich dives into the science of “Super Agers” and wonders if surviving on cold coffee and leftover mac and cheese is disqualifying him from the club.

The parenting duo tackles the internet’s latest controversy: the new Lilo & Stitch live-action remake. Then it’s onto the wild rise of the Savannah Bananas—part baseball, part circus, all chaos—and why kids (and their exhausted parents) are here for it.

Nicole and Rich also debate which of our childhood movies still resonate with today’s kids— it’s a generational vibe check. Nicole also confronts a parenting dilemma: dirty jokes and innuendos...do you explain it, ignore it, or pretend you didn’t hear the question while texting your therapist?

In the listener inbox, one dad asks if he went too far for his daughter's first date, and another listener needs guidance on food etiquette at kids’ parties—how much food are we talking? Plus, long-term storage at Grandma’s house.

New episode. New drama. Same parenting energy. Don’t forget to follow, rate, and share Have Kids They Said—the podcast that keeps it real, relatable, and occasionally ridiculous.
