Have Kids, They Said…

• Rated R for Rhino

  With Nicole off on a well-earned vacation, Rich is joined by his longtime radio pal Niko for a dad-filled takeover of the pod. The two kick things off reminiscing about becoming dads around the same time, how their crew first came together, and the wild ride from those early days to now. They dive into their joint Memorial Day weekend adventure, featuring a whirlwind trip to Legoland and the San Diego Zoo with the families, where carnival games stole their wallets, animals got unexpectedly scandalous, and what their kids declared “fancy”. Niko also shares a bizarre tangent into “conception photography” (you’ve been warned), and the guys commiserate over the looming question every parent is asking right now: what the heck are we doing with these kids all summer? From the idea of sleepaway camps to letting the kids make their own summer bucket lists, the panic is real, but at least they’re in it together. We want to hear from you!

  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 TokAs 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. ✨ Here are the queens she shouted out: Jaz Turner – @jazturner16Frieda – @pickleflipflopsTerree Ann – @terreetaughtmeGo follow, show love, and support these creators!Thanks for tuning in, and as always—parenting may be chaos, but at least we’re in it together. Cya! 👋 Have Kids, They Said... is a SiriusXM Network Podcast made by Nicole Ryan and Rich Davis.If you’d like to send us a message or ask a question email us at [email protected] on social media:Instagram @havekidstheysaidpodNicole @mashupnicoleRich @richdavisand @siriusxm

  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. 🎧 Tune in, laugh hard, and don’t forget to follow, rate, and share!

  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!
