  • Escaped Monkeys, Interstellar Visitors, and the Rise of Hamburger Helper

    This week on Rique and Chaz:

    A truck overturns in Mississippi, releasing monkeys that we're pretty sure are now enjoying early-bird specials at a Cracker Barrel.

    Rique reveals he's had a close encounter and that an interstellar comet might just be stopping by for content.

    And finally, we award the title of Rattiest City in America

  • The Louvre Heist, Lonely Halloween, and the Cape Comeback

    This week on Rique and Chaz: We discuss the Louvre heist, where the art may be missing but at least the thieves were well-dressed. Then we dive into Halloween, the loneliest holiday for singles… but it doesn't have to be. Wipe those clown tears, fix your makeup, and go find your Luigi at a bar. Finally, we unpack why Dracula is the most popular costume of the year, why capes deserve a comeback, and how Spirit Halloween remains the one place that rises when all hope (and retail) is lost.

  • Steak Nuggets, Geriatric Heists, and the Hotel Apple Conspiracy

    This week on Rique and Chaz:

    Arby's has officially abandoned bread. Introducing steak nuggets, a concept that feels both bold and deeply concerning.

    We discuss Ocean's 14, which appears to be shaping up as a geriatric heist with more hip replacements than jewels.

    Chaz recounts nearly taking out a toddler at mini golf, while Rique survives a full mansplaining session at Skee-Ball.

    And finally, we expose the truth behind hotel breakfast apples... decorative at best, digestible at never.

  • Baywatch, Bee Gees, and Hydration

    This week, we discuss:

    The Baywatch reboot that absolutely no one asked for.

    Disney customer service, which somehow led to our best Bee Gees impression yet.

    The growing epidemic of oversized water bottles and the people who treat hydration like a competitive sport.

    And the unspoken rules of movie theater etiquette.

    It's Rique and Chaz: a podcast about nothing, now featuring 30% more chaos and 0% ads. Timestamps 0:15 Baywatch Reboot 3:30 Disney Customer Service & Bee Gees Impression 9:44 Oversized Water Bottles 19:33 Movie Theater Etiquette

  • Near-Death in Peru, Heel Sand Trauma, and the Return of Pigeons

    Season two kicks off with chaos:

    • Rique narrowly avoids becoming Peruvian roadkill.

    • Chaz declares sand the ultimate heel assassin.

    • We question why clowns only entertain themselves (and maybe McDonald's).

    • And we imagine a world of Post-its-wielding carrier pigeons.

    It's the same podcast about nothing — now with more near-death experiences.

  • Superman and the Floating Kiss Walkout

    Rique and Chaz tackle the new Superman movie… but only one of them made it to the end. Rique shares why the "floating kiss" scene was his personal kryptonite and why he's lobbying for romantic trigger warnings in all superhero films.
