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.

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!

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!
