The Radke Show

Melissa and David Radke

Melissa and David Radke have been oversharing their lives for years—on stage, on screen, and definitely online. So naturally, they started a podcast. One Marriage. Two Mics. Zero Filters. The Radke Show is what happens when two opinionated people sit down to talk about real life. They’ll cover the big stuff—marriage, parenting, sex, failure, ambition—and the small stuff, like why he can’t say I’m sorry and why she can’t be spoken to before 10am. If you’ve ever needed someone to say what you’re thinking (but louder), or remind you that your mess isn’t that weird, this show is for you. New episodes drop every Tuesday and Thursday—and they may or may not be carpool approved. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Or don’t. They’re doing it either way. 🎧 Full episodes on Apple, Spotify, YouTube & all the usual places 📱Instagram: @TheRadkeShow | Facebook: @TheRadkes melissaradke.substack.com

  1. Ep 61 - Botox and I Have Zero Regrets | The Radke Show

    15H AGO

    Ep 61 - Botox and I Have Zero Regrets | The Radke Show

    SHOW NOTES Melissa showed up to EP 61 fresh off a Botox appointment, a little bruised and entirely unapologetic about it. She is not one of those influencers who won’t tell you what she’s had done. Never has been, never will be. This episode has a little bit of everything. Melissa’s mom is convinced something shady is going on between Lisa Rinna and QVC. There’s a viral video out of Thailand showing plus size women’s clothing stores with names like Love Calories, You’re a Chubby, Fat Beauty, and Pink Piggy, and Melissa and David can barely hold it together. The Would You Rather segment gets personal fast, including the time Melissa passed the eggs at her parent’s house the very first time David visited. And to close it out, Melissa’s TikTok Shop cart sits at $771 and she is defending every single item. QUOTES WORTH HIGHLIGHTING “I am not one of those influencers who doesn’t want you to know if I do Botox. I just got Botox in my face day before yesterday.” — Melissa, opening the episode with her whole chest “Where did you get that outfit, ma’am? I got that at the Pink Piggy shop. You have to shop at Pink Piggy. I do, I have to shop at Pink Piggy.” — Melissa, barely keeping it together LINKS MENTIONED 📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack: bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack ✨ Beautiful Yu Health Supplements: https://bit.ly/beautifulyu 📖 Melissa’s Book - Chicken-Fried Women: bit.ly/ChickenFriedWomen WATCH OR LISTEN EVERYWHERE 📺 YouTube: bit.ly/TheRadkeShowYouTube 🎧 Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/TheRadkeShowApple 🎧 Spotify: bit.ly/TheRadkeShowSpotify FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE 📱 Instagram - @TheRadkeShow: bit.ly/TheRadkeShowInstagram 📘 Facebook - The Radkes: bit.ly/TheRadkesFacebook 📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack: bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack 👋 ARE YOU READY TO BECOME AN INSIDER?

  2. Ep 60 - I Will Never Courtesy Flush and I Don't Care Who Knows It | The Radke Show

    2D AGO

    Ep 60 - I Will Never Courtesy Flush and I Don't Care Who Knows It | The Radke Show

    Melissa and David are back from Fayetteville, where they spent Valentine’s weekend with their college daughter Remi — and yes, Shep got them kicked out of the hotel. Classic. But before the chaos, there was something genuinely sweet: Remi chose a new church, said one thing to Melissa on the way home, and completely stopped her in her tracks. This episode covers all of it. Rocco volunteered as a buddy at Night to Shine, a prom for special needs adults put on by the Tim Tebow Foundation, and turned out to be the youngest buddy there and an absolute rock star. Remi told her parents exactly what she needs from a church and what she doesn’t. Then things take a sharp left turn into beige flag territory, Melissa confesses she will never courtesy flush, and David’s belt has been making noise for years and he just doesn’t care. Rounding it all out: the Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn’s torn ACL, and the news that the Olympic Village has already run out of condoms. There’s a lot going on. “My name is Michael. I don’t like questions.” — Rocco’s Night to Shine buddy, as reported by Rocco (who asks a lot of questions) “I’m not going to do a courtesy flush. I want to go in there and do my business like they did in the 50s.” — Melissa, with zero apologies LINKS MENTIONED📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack → bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack✨ Beautiful Yu Health Supplements → https://bit.ly/beautifulyu📖 Melissa's Book — Chicken-Fried Women → bit.ly/ChickenFriedWomenAlso Mentioned This Episode🎟️ Night to Shine (Tim Tebow Foundation) → timtebowfoundation.org/nighttoshine🎬 "Eternity" — Apple TV (recommended by Melissa & Remi, watched Valentine's night)🎬 "Send Help" — in theaters (the movie they tried to see before the dog situation)WATCH OR LISTEN EVERYWHERE📺 YouTube → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowYouTube🎧 Apple Podcasts → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowApple🎧 Spotify → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowSpotifyFOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE📱 Instagram — @TheRadkeShow → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowInstagram📘 Facebook — The Radkes → bit.ly/TheRadkesFacebook📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack → bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack👋 Are You Ready to Become an Insider?Become a paid subscriber to Stretch Marks and get:• Weekday POV Audio Messages• Twice-monthly We're Here for You Wednesday advice podcasts• Monthly paid-only posts• Community access for real conversation👉 Subscribe for $9/month or $90/year → bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack This is a public episode.

    Ep 59 - Taboo Topics, Family Triggers & the Stuff We Pretend We Don’t Talk About | The Radke Show

    In this episode, Melissa and David dive into taboo topics: the things families avoid, the things culture now says out loud, and the emotional landmines we all navigate at the dinner table. They talk through everything from social-media blowback and public “hot topic fatigue,” to private family boundaries around grief, money, intimacy, and loss. What starts funny turns unexpectedly tender as they unpack the kind of topics people skip, suppress, or joke through to survive. Also in this episode: TV quote chaos, live audience podcast experiments, college homesickness, Night to Shine pride, and one very unhinged rhyme game that should probably come with a warning label. 🔗 Links Mentioned 📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack → bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack📖 Melissa’s Book – Chicken-Fried Women → bit.ly/ChickenFriedWomen🎥 The Radke Show Playlist → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowYouTube✨ Beautiful Yu Health Supplements → bit.ly/beautifulyu 📢 Listen Everywhere 🎧 Apple Podcasts → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowApple🎧 Spotify → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowSpotify📺 YouTube → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowYouTube 💌 Follow & Subscribe 📱 Instagram – @TheRadkeShow → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowInstagram📘 Facebook – The Radkes → bit.ly/TheRadkesFacebook 📖 Melissa’s New Book – Chicken-Fried Women → bit.ly/ChickenFriedWomen📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack → bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack 👋 Are You Ready to Become an Insider?

    Ep 56 - Teenage Boys Logic: Chapstick, Trucks and Girls | The Radke Show

    📝 SHOW NOTES This episode is exactly what it sounds like when you put a microphone in front of a teenage boy and let the conversation go where it wants. Melissa is joined by Rocco for a wildly honest, funny, and occasionally chaotic conversation about high school, history class struggles, faith, dating, trucks, golf, chapstick hygiene, and how teenage boys actually think. There’s no tidy lesson plan here. Just real life, real parenting, real faith conversations, and a reminder that sometimes the best moments come when you stop trying to control the leash and just hang on. 🔗 LINKS MENTIONED ✨ Beautiful Yu Health Supplements → https://bit.ly/beautifulyu 🎧 LISTEN EVERYWHERE 🎧 Apple Podcasts → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowApple🎧 Spotify → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowSpotify📺 YouTube → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowYouTube 💌 FOLLOW & SUBSCRIBE 📱 Instagram – @TheRadkeShow → bit.ly/TheRadkeShowInstagram📘 Facebook – The Radkes → bit.ly/TheRadkesFacebook 📖 Melissa’s Book – Chicken-Fried Women → bit.ly/ChickenFriedWomen📝 Subscribe to Stretch Marks on Substack → bit.ly/MelissaRadkeSubstack 👋 ARE YOU READY TO BECOME AN INSIDER?

    Ep 55 - Gift Giving Gone Wrong, Teen Boys & Why Nothing Is Ever That Simple | The Radke Show

    📝 Show Notes In this episode, Melissa and David dive into the everyday marriage debates that somehow turn into full-blown arguments — from gift-giving expectations and love languages to why area rugs should never be surprise purchases. They unpack how intentions, communication styles, and emotional wiring collide in marriage, and why sometimes the smallest misunderstandings cause the biggest blow-ups. Add in teenage chaos, ADHD hyper-fixations, and a few Amazon gift card surprises, and you’ve got one very real, very funny snapshot of life inside the Radke household. If you’ve ever thought, “How did we end up arguing about THIS?” — congratulations.

    📝 Show Notes Melissa and David tackle the marriage debates that every couple eventually faces; phone privacy, location tracking, trust, transparency, boundaries, and the stuff nobody wants to argue about but everybody eventually does. From phone passwords to tracking each other’s locations, from emotional safety to everyday trust, this conversation is funny, honest, practical, and way more relatable than we’d like to admit.
