After his most recent appearance on Survivor and ahead of his trip to the Big Brother House, Rick Devens decided to make t-shirts. The plan was to sell some of them to the general public and give some of them to his family and real life supporters. Unfortunately, the scheme ran into a little bit of a snag when his wife found out what he actually planned to put on the t-shirts.
Always a fan of puns and dad jokes, Devens worked with the designer to use the phrase “Big Rick Energy.” He thought it was going to be hilarious, but when he informed his wife Becca, she was not a happy camper. For whatever reason, she didn’t want her kids wearing shirts referencing their dad’s “Big Rick Energy.” In fact, after a video of Rick telling the story got clipped and posted on social media, she doubled down on her stance and used words like “tacky,” “yuck” and “ewwwww” to describe her feelings.
