  • This week on Have Kids, They Said, Nicole is joined by a very special guest, Sara, aka Rich’s better half, who steps in while he’s out.

    The episode kicks off with birthday madness: Are kids' gift expectations getting totally out of hand? Nicole and Sara weigh in with personal stories, including Nicole’s hilarious (and slightly terrifying) tale of why 3-year-old Parker escaped from a hibachi restaurant.

    The duo also dives into the struggle of convincing their daughters that they are still cool. (Legitimately. Probably. Maybe?) They discuss the etiquette and practicality of gift registries, both for birthdays and housewarmings: helpful or too much?

    Weekend sports get the spotlight next, with both moms discussing their roles on the sidelines...Are you a full-on Mama Bear when your kid is in the game? Or more of a Zen Zone cheerleader?

    Things get real when Sara introduces the world of Black Shower Girl Tok (check out the creators' handles below!) and insists everyone join immediately. That spirals into some next-level oversharing (yes, from both of them), childhood flashbacks, and Emmy’s questions that lead to a few stories from Nicole and Sara’s teenage past.

    🖤 Spotlight on Black Girl Shower Tok

    As Sara mentioned in today’s episode, Black Girl Shower Tok is something we all need in our lives...right now. It’s about self-care, all shared by talented Black creators who bring authenticity and creativity to your scroll.

  • Nicole rolls in rocking the gun show (thank you, no shirt sleeves), and things spiral hilariously from there. The duo tackles tattoos, parent exhaustion, and Nicole’s schedule that would break mere mortals. A wild convo about jersey numbers leads to a very awkward rabbit hole. 👀

    Matt drops in with a story every dad dreads from his youth, Benny’s relaxation, and rotisserie chicken causes unexpected debate. Nicole’s done with kid negotiations, Rich reigns as king of empty threats, and Sara’s big reactions are driving rich bonkers. Etiquette reminders are dropped, cringe is embraced, and Rich reveals how Sara made an old lady clutch her pearls.

  • On this episode, Rich and Nicole have had it—why do kids treat parents like background noise? Rich shares a classic moment of Ben-level sass, while Nicole shows that baby her might’ve been a Prince lookalike. It only gets weirder when Rich admits he had a dream he was dating someone very unexpected… and then Matt randomly shows up, asking the exact same questions Nicole did about the new pope.

    They also unpack the chaos of weekends that are anything but “chill,” swap stories on how to handle backtalk without losing it, and dig into whether it’s wrong to skip your kid’s award ceremony when your household is one meltdown away from disaster.

    It’s fast, funny, and full of the kind of unfiltered parenting truths we all need...just make sure your kids aren't listening!

  • On today’s episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich and Nicole tackle the big question: what do moms really want for Mother’s Day (and what’s just painfully cheesy)? Rich spirals about keeping the podcast fun, while Nicole vents about Matt the Grouch and their marital communication breakdown. They react to a wild survey on why first dates flop—cue Rich’s rage over men’s hygiene habits. There's talk of Rich’s snack regrets, gym struggles, and the absurd expectations placed on 8-year-old athletes. Nicole plays detective involving a Snapchat post and Parker, while they both talk about who you would NOT take parenting advice from. Plus, Emmy and Benny hilariously complete old-school parenting phrases, and Matt’s cab ride ends with him being plain awkward.

    🎙️ Listen now and follow the show—because parenting may be messy, but at least we’re laughing about it together!

  • On this week’s episode of Have Kids They Said, your favorite hosts Rich and Nicole are serving up laughs, chaos, and a little bit of wisdom—parenting-style.

    Rich kicks things off with a dilemma: should Matt splurge on Knicks tickets or keep it responsible? Nicole has thoughts. Meanwhile, Rich and Benny are living their best bro life—baseball and Pokémon forever!

    But not everything is sunshine and slice—cue the pizza debacle. Rich tells a pizza delivery fail on fight night.

    Rich recounts the saga of his lost—and miraculously recovered—wedding rings over the years. Yes, rings, plural.

    The season’s over for Rich’s girls’ softball team, so the crew dives into the ongoing debate: organized sports vs. neighborhood pick-up games—which builds better skills (and better stories)?

    Also on deck: puberty class panic (Matt is NOT read), a mom influencer shamed for taking a minute for herself (cue Nicole’s righteous fury), and Rich’s latest viral video find, starts with a little...tap, tap.

    Don’t miss this week’s TFIWK segment where Rich and Nicole answer your real-life parenting questions—well, they do their best.

  • On this week’s episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich unveils yet another new diet plan and somehow takes credit for Nicole and Matt’s entire marriage (yes, seriously). Nicole brings her daughter Parker on the mic to get to the bottom of whether she actually flipped her mom the bird—things get...complicated.

    Rich goes full nerd over his favorite History Channel show, while Nicole stumbles headfirst into the birds and the bees talk—and regrets every second. Meanwhile, Matt proves he might just be the worst at that convo. Rich gets nostalgic (and a little horrified) about watching his kids relive the awkward moments of growing up, from school forms to social minefields.

    Plus, there's a cringey wrong-text moment that you do not want to miss.

  • In this episode, Nicole is not okay with Keegan’s fresh haircut, and she’s letting it be known. Meanwhile, Rich is still salty about saving a kid from a poop disaster and getting zero thanks. Rude!

    The two debate the ultimate superhero and which ice cream is the best for a fun family treat. Nicole dives into the interview drama of Bill Belichick’s new girlfriend, and somehow… we end up talking about tan lines becoming their own category (yep, that kind).

    From awkward urologist visits to a new game of "Would You Rather," with a classic Rich example. We debate how 100 guys would stack up against a gorilla. Plus, listeners share their parenting chaos and ask for advice—because we’re all just trying to survive one meltdown at a time.

    🎧 Tune in for laughs and plenty of oversharing.

  • On today's episode, Rich and Nicole are riding solo without Jess (come back, we miss you!) and diving headfirst into the chaos of parenting, relationships, and random life gripes.

    They cover everything from therapy feeling like a brain massage, to loving people who are both great and kind of the worst, plus Rich questioning Sara’s parking skills. Nicole’s “hate list” is growing—couple’s counseling, surprise warts, Parker growing up, and an awkward cheers moment all make the cut.

    Things take a serious turn with a tricky situation at Keegan’s school, Rich panics about giving Emmy a core memory, and Nicole saves Matt from a Crocs crisis. Add in OnlyFans stats, a sweet sportsmanship moment, and a “Top That” involving bushes, and you've got one wild episode.

  • In this laugh-packed episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich and Nicole are serving up real talk, relatable parenting rants, and a surprise Mets/Soto play-by-play courtesy of Keegan. They chat about good intentions gone hilariously wrong, Easter baskets turning into Christmas morning, and Rich’s new Easter Eve fast food tradition.

    Nicole shares the chaos of juggling Passover with sports, and the two dive into the struggle of keeping things “equal” between kids. There’s also some Love on the Spectrum feels, a baseball card nostalgia trip, and a long-overdue realization about those infamous boots with the fur.

    In this week’s “TFIWK,” an anonymous listener vents about ungrateful kids, another confesses to dentist bribery, and someone’s on the fence about giving in to the puppy pleas. Rich and Nicole weigh in with their own stories, laughs, and survival tips.

    🎧 Hit play, laugh with us, and remember—parenting is chaos, but at least we’re in it together. Don't forget to rate, review, and share with that friend who swore they'd never give in to a puppy... but now has three.

  • On today’s episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich and Nicole dive headfirst into the chaos once again—starting with Jack Black telling kids to chill with the popcorn and Chicken Jockey (yes, that’s a thing), and Nicole's very specific (and passionate) gripe with a certain type of sports mom. Rich hits his breaking point trying to complete a collector’s set for his kids, and the duo tackles the fine line between arrogance and confidence, which can give Nicole major secondhand awkwardness.

    They crack the parenting code on bribery vs. incentive (at least we hope), lay down a new house rule that punishment will never affect family time, and try to figure out if teacher shopping during open house is the new norm. Plus, Nicole’s dreams are absolutely unhinged, and Rich finds himself in a full-on Larry David moment with no idea what to do.

    It’s messy, relatable, and hilariously real. Don’t forget to follow, rate, and review! Because if you’re gonna parent through the chaos, you might as well laugh through it too.

  • On today’s episode of Have Kids They Said, Rich and Nicole blast off with a chat about Blue Origin’s all-women flight—which, of course, leads to the age-old question: do boobs float in space? Rich takes a deep dive into the world of Alex Earle (for science), sparking a scandalous convo about genetics and pop culture chaos. Matt swings by to answer one of Rich’s classic hypotheticals, and the crew gets real about what to do when your kid starts showing some red-flag behavior—spoiler: calling in the pros is totally okay.

    Meanwhile, Rich is spiraling over Emmy’s first big event without him or Sara, struggles to not be a cringe dad at dance class, and ponders the fine art of making mom friends. Plus: the great divorce debate—mediator or lawyer?

    It’s honest, hilarious, a little chaotic, and everything in between. Don’t forget to rate, review, and subscribe—because parenting may not come with a manual, but at least you’ve got us.

  • On today’s episode of Have Kids, They Said, Rich is spiraling over the never-ending madness of summer camp sign-ups (seriously, why is it harder than college apps?), while Nicole discovers Parker has zero ability to keep a secret, which made for an awkward interaction for Nicole.

    Keegan’s habit involving his pants (yep, that one) makes a return during test prep, the crew talks about the highs and lows of having an only child, Sara’s trying to be the “funny mom” (the kid jury’s still out), and Matt’s on a mission to make chore time feel like a military operation.

    It’s parenting in all its chaotic, hilarious glory.

  • In today’s episode, Rich and Nicole have a sad announcement to make. But fear not, for there are many funny and lighthearted updates to share in the aftermath: As Rich enters his juice cleanse era, he is asking that the Village Bitches please refrain from [playfully] fat-shaming him any longer. Meanwhile, Nicole is displeased with both of her kids: her daughter Parker uttered the words “nipple piercings” out loud on the train, while her son Keegan decided to pee in a bucket during a visit with a friend. In other related news, Rich is navigating his children being picky eaters and has turned to Instagram for some hilariously unrealistic advice. Lastly, after binge-watching the latest of Netflix’s trashy reality dating shows, Nicole and Rich wonder whether they could predict who their partners would cheat on them with.
