Cats in Need, Backstage Scenes, and Should Family Intervene?

AITA, RV Woes & Fake Po-Po's

This week on Rik and That Michele Chick, Michele wonders if she’s the asshole in a family situation and puts her case before the court of public opinion. Meanwhile, a niece’s journey from Arkansas takes an unexpected turn when RV troubles threaten to derail the trip. Rik weighs in on people impersonating law enforcement, sovereign citizens who think traffic laws don’t apply to them, and his ongoing debate about handicap drivers who treat speed limits as suggestions. The conversation also turns to a frustrating friend, a surprise victory when Rik finally beats Grandma to the lunch bill, and a family discussion about why some cousins seem to hit the Grandma jackpot while others are left wondering where their $10,000 went. Family drama, road trip disasters, fake badges, hot takes, and plenty of laughs—just another week with Rik and Michele.

Shots in Knees, Wives Not Pleased & Boos from the Seats

Michele gets her first round of knee injections and shares how it went, while Rik discovers that walking now counts as his workout routine. Michele’s family from Arkansas is arriving, which means plenty of stories and preparations ahead. Rik also gives a quick update on his brother before finding himself in a little hot water at home over something he said on last week’s podcast. The conversation then turns to the business of OnlyFans, the headlines surrounding an NFL player’s wife, another tense exchange between President Trump and a female reporter, and the reaction when the president was booed at an NBA game. As always, Rik and Michele mix personal stories, current events, laughs, and a few hot takes along the way.

One Year Cheers, Tiny Ears & 250 Freedom Fears

Rik and Michele celebrate one year of podcasting together, but not before battling some technical difficulties to get the episode recorded! Rik recaps his birthday celebrations, while Michele shares the not-so-glamorous discovery of a dead duck the dogs proudly brought into the house. The animal chaos continues as Michele takes in six bottle baby foster kittens, adding even more tiny mouths to feed. The duo also discuss a unique way to honor beloved pets—would they ever have their pets’ ashes mixed into tattoo ink? Plus, they weigh in on the Freedom 250 artist who pulled out of the event and what they think about the controversy surrounding the decision. From anniversaries and birthdays to kittens, tattoos, and current events, it’s another packed episode of laughs, stories, and opinions with Rik and that Michele Chick.

Blue Dot Fever, Birthdays Feel Sweeter & Pizza Hut Returns Teaser

In this episode of Rik and that Michele Chick, things are all over the place in the best (and worst) way possible. Rik gives an update on his brother, and then it’s straight into birthday week chaos as he gears up for another year older and only slightly wiser. The conversation takes a turn into the ongoing debate around people saying “Happy Memorial Day,” followed by a breakdown of the mysterious “blue dot fever” that seems to be spreading through modern life one notification at a time. And just when you think it can’t get more random, Pizza Hut decides to bring retro restaurants back into the conversation—because apparently nostalgia is on the menu now too. It’s family updates, cultural side-eyes, internet observations, and fast-food flashbacks all packed into one episode that refuses to stay on track—and that’s kind of the point.

Cats in Need, Backstage Scenes, and Should Family Intervene?

A real-life conversation about family, friendship, and everything in between. From whether you’re actually obligated to help your siblings, to navigating relationships, boundaries, and the messy reality of everyday life, nothing is off limits. We also dive into the unexpected stuff—celebrity podcasts taking over the world, backstage etiquette and awkward meet-and-greets, and the strange questions that come up when you start really thinking about how people behave in different spaces. One minute it’s family dynamics and personal responsibility, the next it’s debating why every celebrity suddenly has a microphone. It’s honest, unfiltered, and often funny in a very “did we just say that out loud?” kind of way. We share stories, opinions, and conversations that bounce from serious life questions to completely random observations that somehow still matter. At its core, it’s about figuring life out as you go—relationships, responsibility, expectations, and all the chaos in between.
