Born in 86 and this theme song takes me all the way back to the 90's and days where I would be home from school and this would be playing at lunch time while I'd be eating ham sandwiches 😂
This show was taped back in 1994 which was 30 years ago. I would be interested to know how these people ended up. They are probably in their mid to late fifties in age, and are more than likely grandparents! I hope they made the right choices!🤔🙏
@@swiftkarma4436Single mother households are actually really bad, you need a man “a provider/leader” in the household. This is why the black community is so backwards & have tons have issues.
I went to college with a lady who talked about how horrible her rich ex husband was and how she wanted to kill him. I will never understand being married to someone you hate. There's no point. She seemed crazy though. I hated doing projects with her and my teacher wouldn't let me change groups or do it by myself.
@Admin-qy4zi well I asked that and she said he was very stingy and controlling with it. He wouldn't give her any or spend any on her. That could be why she divorced him and why she married him. Lol.
I am so grateful my husband and i met in high school, got married 3 years later when we were just 20. We didnt have much money, still dont have very much money but im able to stay home with our daughter. We love eachother though.
Same! My husband and I met at age 12 and 14. Dated for 5 years and then were married. We started with nothing. Still my best friend and even more in love. I’m so lucky, blessed, etc.

It is TRAUMATIZING for a child to be in a family home where the mom and dad _hate_ each other, even if they try to hide it. Kids can TELL. And, you're teaching your CHILDREN that _this is what love and marriage is?!??_ Ridiculous.

I said basically the same thing and I know couples like that. I know one couple that continuesly cheat on each other. I had to distance myself from them. Also the kids don't deserve to see the idiots arguing and fighting all the time. Sometimes it's better for the kids if they divorce.

The intro takes me back to when I was 14 years old on a weekday at 5pm in front of the tube with my Granny and Mom 😢😢 with no worries or cares in the world. Granny has been gone for 4 years and my Mom for 9 months, how I wish I can go back in time and tell them I love them and enjoy one last episode with them 😔 and then to jump back to the present with my beautiful life that I have made with my husband of 22 years and our 4 amazing kids. Go Ricki, go Ricki ❤❤
That lady who shamed the mom who wants to stay home with her kids is such a joke. Like congratulations that's your choice but don't shame HERS. There's nothing wrong by wanting to be a stay at home mother. Kids grow super quick.
I got static back in the days of being a woman and all that fluff about freedom and all. I took care of my kids and worked once they became school age. Work is work whether you get paid or not.
I mean I don’t care what people do but when women choose to do nothing with their life except reproduce and sit at home (and usually my tax dollars pay to raise their kids) and then they whine about how being a mom is “such a hard job”, that’s when I have a problem.
No that's not the point. She is lazy she doesn't wanna work!!!! nothing wrong with stay at home... but being in a loveless relationship because you're too lazy to work. Big difference
I married the love of my life when I was 18 and he was 19….1965! Married 59 years here in 2024, and I can’t imagine ever being without him! I adore this man! We still are passionate together too….I feel sorry for those who don’t have love, and passion! I was lucky and stayed home with my 2 children,,,I started working in education when my son started school and we had the same hours! Worked out great!
I got married to someone I didn't like. I was very religious at the time and thought God would help. Would not recommend this ever lol. Had a kid got divorced and that was when my real life began 😂Never been happier now 🥰🥰
You CHOSE to marry someone you didn't even like? Then blame God ?! Come off it. God had NOTHING to do with YOUR bad decisions. He gave us free will, and you used it!
I’ve always thought that “a broken home” was a home where the parents weren’t happy and the kids lived in a horrible enviroment, not that it meant a divorce.
My parents stayed together their whole life, it was horrible, so much drama, so much tension, I would literally have panic attacks because these 2 wouldn't stop fighting. I divorced my husband we never went to court, always co-parenting peacefully, my son never witnessed a fight between us. To this day we have remained civil and friendly with each other . I have his back and he has mine, no romance whatsoever I still visit him, his wife, new baby and my in-laws and we get on great. He was meant to be my friend, not my husband I guess. It's a shame for my son that his parents didn't stay together but imo it's still better that we separated and kept respectful always towards each other and our son our number 1 priority.
Good comment. The phrase broken home meant children of divorce. In retrospect if the parents stay together in a toxic environment with their children that home is also broken. Divorce is a healthier decision vs living that way.
This is soooo 90’s 😂 I love it 90s baby!! Also you can tell that Rex is a good guy, his heart is in the kind of right place and he’s obviously being very honest and blunt. Her on the other hand is so.. nvm I’ll keep that to myself. Her character is just not great at all… I hope she changed, likely so. I myself was a nightmare of a person in my 20s thankfully I didn’t have kids or marry in that mindset lol. Also, Dude keeps a machete under the bed and sharpens every week?? Threatens people with it? Like what??? How is everyone calm?
The late 80s was still lingering in early 90s. Around 94 is when the 90s started, but that's how every new decade starts...takes a few years for it change out of the previous one.
She just married a meal ticket. I would have loved to stay home with my children, and didn't have that luxury. Now that they are grown, I'm glad I worked, as I know I can make it on my own without any help. I'm not someone's doormat. I'm on marriage #2 (29 years now)--we don't argue much, because there's nothing to argue about. My ex left me, and I am so glad that I was able to make it on my own without help. I would not have received any help, and would have probably been homeless. As a result, I have raised 2 wonderful women that are Warriors--not Doormats!
But there are women that enjoy being a fulltime stay at home mom, taking care of their home and family fulltime. I did, and never desired a job or career. Although I was out of school 4 yrs and worked while out of school and some while I was married. Until I had a baby.
i am happy to be a stay at home mom. for me it’s a beautiful life and fulfilling. i’m certainly not a doormat. the only time i ever felt like a doormat was when i was working for a toxic manager who was ungrateful and very unkind to us working for her. women need to reframe their mindset and try not to make sweeping judgements about one another. i’m glad that you’re happy to have had a career but i’m also happy to be doing what i do. in absence of a career i am still valuable and intelligent.
The audacity of the audience to laugh and clap to hear about the first woman biting and physically attacking her husband because he was "making her jealous". If it was the other way around they would DESTROY him.
It’s awful that it’s taken so long for people to recognise the seriousness of DV against men. Yes people did laugh it off. And when you think of the difference between male and female self-unaliving to attempt to use YT language, although we know how much harder it can be for men to talk about their problems, I feel haunted when I wonder how many of them were trapped in an abusive marriage or even bumped off by a wife in the days before DNA? When police probably fell for women who could easily appear vulnerable? In fairness a couple of the guys were behaving really badly too, where the women were underplaying how much fear they were feeling for their family and friends (like the guy who threatened to kill the woman’s pastor,) and that was sort of laughed off too. It’s quite triggering (in the literal sense, as in PTSD/CPTSD,) to remind ourselves what living through those times was actually like and the sexism that went both ways - as well as the assumptions, distasteful jokes and narrow mindedness depending on where and how you grew up. I must admit my stomach is in knots after watching this one, the seriousness of what was going on in all the cases on the stage would be considered too dangerous to televise now - they all need to run! I just hope they all broke up after this aired 🙏🏼🙏🏼 It doesn’t take long for this kind of behaviour to escalate to potentially fatal proportions every time a new boundary is broken.
This lady had 3 kids under 8, one being a baby 3 months and her husband has the nerve to say on National TV that she does NOTHING all day and it’s “easy” is this guy out of his mind ?
Yeah I was shocked to hear that too. I’m surprised how she survived that long in that house with 2 kids with a father like that. I had 3 months old few months ago and I would’ve lost my mind with such husband 😂
What in the world. The first couple do not love each other but have kids and dont want to divorce. The second couple endangers each other to the point of death threats/attempts. "What's wrong with you?"
That was very valuable insight... she was from a generation that used to just work ish out for the kidz wasnt so selfish... modern day women think everything is about happiness
I missed the 90s but some of these shows I wish they had an update. As it's well over 32 33 years later and in some cases 25 years later😢 if somebody don't want to be with you you should go ahead and leave immediately
I don't even know were to start from.Most of the people get married for wrong reasons.These relationships are all toxic.Stay single,do you until you find someone that will treat you right and reciprocate.These were the 90's but now it's worse.Stay strong kings and queens and enjoy yourselves period❤.
The clothes and hair, some of the 90's and early '00 style is back in 2024. All of these shows would play on our tv. Back when. . Jenny Jones, montell williams, Jerry Springer etc.
Going through this right now with a man I have been with for 10yrs but thankfully we are not married we just have a kid together and every time I want to leave he asks her to pick a parent and tells her that I am breaking up the family. He is mentally draining to everyone and is always starting fights in front of our kiddo I tell him I don’t want to do this in front of her but he always says she’s part of this family too and needs to see us fight. She is 6 and it frustrates me that he dosnt care. Iv tried locking myself in rooms to stop the fighting but he has removed the locks.
A bunch of people who willingly entered a situation they knew was bad. I don't feel sorry for any of them. I only feel bad for the kids. Then they wonder why this exact generation are cutting off their parents and going no contact now. These pple are ridiculous and have no self-respect. And the guy saying 17 isn't a baby needs to be investigated.
It’s a little concerning that the black woman said that her husband was going to be the death of her and then right after admitted to them being violent towards each other. I wonder where they are now.
Wow if only 20yr old me could imagine the day I could watch Ricki on-demand with no commercials. Living the dream 😁
And on our phones too, no less. I was 21 and loved these shows, Maury, Sally Jessy, Oprah, Ricki Lake and Jenny Jones. 😂
Same!!! This really is almost unreal 😄😄!
Lots of mollet hairstyles.
😂that's what i said
i'm 20 right now. that's crazy
I miss the 90s handwritten letters and face to face interactions are a lost art.

Yes the days were good eh
Handwritten letters are still some of my favorite things.
Absolutely. 💔😢😢.
I still write letters 🥰 I'm in the wrong era! I love dip pen calligraphy too!

The theme song is so lit.
Born in 86 and this theme song takes me all the way back to the 90's and days where I would be home from school and this would be playing at lunch time while I'd be eating ham sandwiches 😂
@@VibewiththeleeYa me too. It's so nostalgic. I wish sometimes they would post some music. Some other channels have.
Will never compete with this amazing channel, but Ricki Fan channel does have some music you might enjoy!
My childhood
Ricki's hair is so classy even in 2024 💯✨
She got married last year,I think?
This is a very idk video
I was so jealous of Ricki’s hair, it was always immaculate!
Yes, none of those stupid hair sprayed 90s fringes. Ricki’s hair was straight and sleek an suited her face. I’d have had her hair.
This show was taped back in 1994 which was 30 years ago. I would be interested to know how these people ended up. They are probably in their mid to late fifties in age, and are more than likely grandparents! I hope they made the right choices!🤔🙏
I'm curious to see if any of their children still talk to them.
Same, I'm curious to see how they are today
I was thinking this also.
A lot of them were actors. Sorry!
I wonder if any of them were harmed or killed by their spouse. That's what I can't understand.

Yep
You would have been one of the babies in these messed-up relationships. It's crazy to think about!

Nah a lot of these people in the audience are real af. Not people worried about a consensus. They were their own people not a clone.

that is one of the most idiotic reasons to marry someone i have ever heard; i married him so she couldn't have him . . .
Right? You hate him, just let her have him

The lady in the audience was in the same boat as the woman on the stage, but judging her? Her point was pointless
Yea she was talking out the side of her neck 🥴
Yea hers was more horrible, she said she had four children paying all the bills😐 I guess her husband was a stay at home dad.
I didn’t understand her comment at all
I think she felt the need to say something because she was jealous of her staying home because she was just waffling for the sake of it.
Very pointless. If the woman want to stay home that's ok because the husband is working.

My parents got married 4 months after their first date. They were married for 36 years. My Father passed away 4 months before their 37th anniversary
When you know, you know. This is super sweet. ❤
❤
I wonder how it worked out for them since the show aired?
This is the best channel on TH-cam.
I'M A MAN DIDN'T GROW UP WITH A FATHER AND I THINK I AM ONE OF THE MOST RESPONSIBLE MAN AND A SINGLE PARENT TOO
You are the exception to the rule
This lady had 3 kids under 8, one being a baby 3 months and her husband has the nerve to say on National TV that she does NOTHING all day and it’s “easy” is this guy out of his mind ?
Yeah I was shocked to hear that too. I’m surprised how she survived that long in that house with 2 kids with a father like that. I had 3 months old few months ago and I would’ve lost my mind with such husband 😂
A lot of men think that way
They still sleeping together 😮😅
What in the world. The first couple do not love each other but have kids and dont want to divorce. The second couple endangers each other to the point of death threats/attempts. "What's wrong with you?"
Damn I miss the 90s
I miss the Ricki Lake show 😂 It was so entertaining.
When the American Dream turns into a nightmare...
Even crazier than the guests on the show is how the audience claps, cheers, and jeers for contradictory statements and messages.
The 90’s nostalgia! ❤ I remember watching Ricky Lake after school some days.😂
You should never subject your children to a toxic and abusive relationship.
It happens more often than we know
The audience member who admits that she only somewhat loves her husband shouldn't speak.
That was very valuable insight... she was from a generation that used to just work ish out for the kidz wasnt so selfish... modern day women think everything is about happiness
@@And1one757 so why she was criticizing Patti 😂
Right, she added nothing to the conversation lol😂
@@And1one757 how DARE modern women want happiness and a loving relationship! 🙄
@@MidnightSonnethow's that goin?
Rex said together forever, this was 29 years ago, wondering where they are at now?
Hopefully their marriages better today
@@Carolina_Panthers145or divorced
I wonder where they are nowwwww. I wanna knowww
Am I the only one, who get that one Offspring song everytime hearing the name Ricki Lake......? 😎
My husband and I have been married 5 years and have never had an argument
“She’d take half my business”
“Excuse me don’t you think she deserves half?” It’s a little crazy how back then we’d openly say stuff like this
Lol whats new....
Rex's points all seemed valid and he sounded ahead of his time.
@@toprightchannel3080 I agree. There’s no reason she should automatically just take everything 🤦🏼♀️ Shame on Ricki for saying it like that
@tahneeyuh3382 half is not everything if she indeed helped to set up the business. Why he never valued that?
Who else is watching this in 2024 like 👀 👀
that woman's hair at 24:58 is certainly something! OMG.
OMG LOL
🐩
I missed the 90s but some of these shows I wish they had an update. As it's well over 32 33 years later and in some cases 25 years later😢 if somebody don't want to be with you you should go ahead and leave immediately
Had better topics and conversations back then and people weren’t cancelled! Miss it!
She should have let the ex have him!! Wouldn’t have been a loss
She said we watch tv 😂😂😂😂😂 I guess that was a big family event in the 90s 😂😂😂
The first couple are something else. If you are unhappy then leave, your kids will surly pick on on that and start acting out.
Their both even are getting defensive with the audience too to prove they don't hate each other...absolutely ridiculous
Nostalgia is a wonderful drug, short of a " time machine" this is the " next best thing"
It’s not about women do this and men do that, it’s about emotional maturity.
Great comment!
I miss the days of corney talk shows during the day 😭😭😭😂😆
Lady Audience member in the red blouse and vest was on point- “broken home” excuse over separation and a healthier childhood for the kids.
I don't even know were to start from.Most of the people get married for wrong reasons.These relationships are all toxic.Stay single,do you until you find someone that will treat you right and reciprocate.These were the 90's but now it's worse.Stay strong kings and queens and enjoy yourselves period❤.
I remembered when I was younger I always wanted to be a stay at home parent but say things don’t work out, I won’t have anything for myself.
Patty does not seem like the woman she’s trying to portray to them… 🧐😬
“I worked before!”
The crowd: “oh shut up! Yeah right.” 😂
Rex was going to bat for the other guys on stage 😂 I respect it
Love love love these older shows ❤
Back when women tolerated and settled for marriage out of fear of judgement from society
Out of fear of being labeled a spinster or old maid.
@@DinaMule also before narcissism was understood
The clothes and hair, some of the 90's and early '00 style is back in 2024. All of these shows would play on our tv. Back when. . Jenny Jones, montell williams, Jerry Springer etc.
Fun times tv not the save anymore
We need a 'where are they now?' follow up.
Going through this right now with a man I have been with for 10yrs but thankfully we are not married we just have a kid together and every time I want to leave he asks her to pick a parent and tells her that I am breaking up the family. He is mentally draining to everyone and is always starting fights in front of our kiddo I tell him I don’t want to do this in front of her but he always says she’s part of this family too and needs to see us fight. She is 6 and it frustrates me that he dosnt care. Iv tried locking myself in rooms to stop the fighting but he has removed the locks.
Run away from him for your daughter
Id like to see where they are now
“ what are you ! ? Are you a therapist or something ? “ 😂😂😂
32:28 this dude over here thinkin “this mf right” 😭😭
why did they air out their business out like that omg😂
Lol at "a divorce is supposed to be an alternative, not an option if you get married and it doesn't work out" 😂😂
Trust love communication is important in a marriage a deaf ear helps and a big syomach to stomach it all helps
RICKI LAKE TALK SHOW: 90’s:
Ricki Lake has the grooviest theme show opening 🎵 🎼 🎶 love the drums and that funky bass guitar!
The alternative to marrying another person when you DO NOT LOVE the person is hell on earth ...so make DIVORCE YOUR OPTION.
I miss these days 😢
Raising children with a man you declare you hate is toxic for the kids
I'll say something about rude people, you'll always get an answer.
A bunch of people who willingly entered a situation they knew was bad. I don't feel sorry for any of them. I only feel bad for the kids. Then they wonder why this exact generation are cutting off their parents and going no contact now. These pple are ridiculous and have no self-respect. And the guy saying 17 isn't a baby needs to be investigated.
It’s a little concerning that the black woman said that her husband was going to be the death of her and then right after admitted to them being violent towards each other. I wonder where they are now.
True
The funniest thing I've ever seen 😂😂😂 I can't believe this was real lol
mom used to watch tf out this show ... she left my pops in '98
I can see why. There’s so much man bashing and lack of holding women’s feet to the fire.
