Episode Summary:

In their official return to The Radke Show, Melissa and David Radke kick off The Radke Show with exactly what you’d expect: no script, no filter, and zero understanding of how chairs, tables, or microphones actually work.

They talk about the chaos of launching the podcast, what led them back to the show (again), and a very real issue happening in their home right now—getting their daughter off to college... and all the emotional sabotage that comes with it. Spoiler: Melissa learns the term “soiling the nest” and uses it a lot.

Also in this episode:

What it means to share your marriage publicly
Whether influencers owe their followers honesty
David’s not-so-viral opinions on what “viral” actually means
A brand-new segment: Bless It or Block It
A tender (and ridiculous) story about college orientation, calling the hogs, and embarrassing Remi

If you’re a parent sending a kid off to college, a couple who’s still talking after 30 years, or just someone who likes their laughter with a side of real-life mess—this one’s for you.
