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.

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.

On today's episode of Have Kids They Said, hosts Rich and Nicole serve up a whirlwind of parenting chaos, personal confessions, and hilarious hot takes. From deep dives into the mental health of both moms and dads, to Nicole dropping a juicy secret, the duo covers everything from animal appendages to elite continental breakfasts at Holiday Inn Express. Rich vents about the bureaucratic madness of 5U All Stars while Nicole shares the mental overload that comes with raising kids in the heart of NYC. And yes, there's even a battle over Parker's clothes brewing between Nicole and Matt.

The conversation spirals delightfully through gullible childhood moments, why teens today don’t care about driver’s licenses, Gen X grievances, and how getting a specialist doctor appointment feels harder than winning the lottery. Plus, Emmy gets one of Rich’s classic pep talks, Nicole revisits her OBGYN adventures, and they both remind us why a follow-up message can make or break your hang.
