Ricci T (00:00):
Welcome to Ricci talks shit.
The podcast where I, yourfearless leader, Ricci, sits on
her ass and talks about, well,whatever the hell I feel like
talking about.
We're going to go into deepdives into the chaos of life.
We're going to rant about whypineapple on pizza shouldn't be
a debate.
And this is where logic is goingto take a backseat and fun's
(00:23):
going to take the wheel.
Oh, and just so we're clear,this isn't your overly curated,
perfectly scripted Pinterestworthy pod.
No.
No.
It's not.
It's messy, opinionated, anddripping with sarcasm.
If you know me, then you know.
So grab a drink, buckle up, andprepare for a rollercoaster of
(00:43):
hot takes, unsolicited advice,and random shenanigans that you
never asked to know about, butyou absolutely need to know
about.
This is Ricci Talks Shit, wherethere's no rules except for one.
Don't take anything I say tooseriously.
Let's sit down and talk someshit.
(01:06):
Here we are episode one.
We finally made it.
Barely.
But we're here.
And as Edward Cullen.
So poetically said you betterhold on tight spider monkey.
Yeah.
This is going to be a wild ridefor all of us.
Okay.
That's going to cost me somelisteners.
I just know it, but that's okay.
(01:28):
I'll get over it.
So the plan, we're just going towing it, throw some things at
the wall.
See what sticks, like whenyou're checking to see if your
pasta is done cooking, thispodcast is going to be
sarcastic, chaotic,unapologetically me, and
hopefully a little fun foranyone listening.
So let's start with theimportant question.
What makes me qualified to dothis?
(01:51):
First and foremost, I'm acertified yapper.
That's the best title todescribe me talking.
Oh, I can do that.
Talking endlessly about randomnonsense.
Yeah.
I've got a PhD in that.
Also fun fact.
I had a podcast before.
You probably haven't heard of itunless you're one of my 35 loyal
(02:11):
listeners, but guess what?
It was kind of popular in threecountries.
That's right.
I'm a global sensation baby.
Move over.
Joe Rogan.
Here I come.
Oh, and let's not forget.
I used to present financialwebinars.
Nothing says compelling content,like retirement planning.
Am I right?
Keeping people engaged whiletalking about 401k contributions
(02:35):
is basically my superpower.
If I can do that, this podcastis going to be a walk in the
park.
And I'm not talking aboutwalking through central park at
night because no, that'sterrifying.
This is going to be lightheartedand fun.
Let me take you back to where itall began in retail.
I worked every job that you canimagine in the retail space
(02:57):
bras.
I've done it.
Makeup, of course, luxuryhandbags, naturally salon
manager.
Weirdly.
Yes.
You name it?
I've probably been there, donethat and made snide comments
just to get through the day.
Retail gave me an endless supplyof stories.
And let me tell you, nobody putsbaby in a corner when it comes
(03:19):
to a good customer service rant.
You'll hear a lot of thosethroughout our time here with
the podcast.
And then, because life israndom.
I somehow ended up in finance, me, someone who cried
on her way to math class dailyand was placed in the special
math class to get extra helpended up in finance.
(03:40):
Imagine being recruited by oneof the biggest financial
companies in the world.
When you barely can add two andtwo together.
I honestly thought that theywere on crack when they hired
me.
But, Hey, I showed up, I wingedit and now I'm eight years deep
into the financial industry.
Who knew.
It wasn't just the job though.
(04:00):
I made lifelong friends learnhow to manage my finances.
Finally, my husband is veryappreciative of that.
And somehow it became the voiceof reason for people planning
their retirements.
You can say I'm basically theaccidental financial guru.
I know.
It sounds like a bad AdamSandler movie, right?
(04:21):
I'll keep an eye out.
It's coming to a theater nearyou soon.
Anyway.
At one point, I had this littlepodcast tied to my work in
finance.
I interviewed industry people,made incredible connections and
actually got my shit togetherfinancially.
It was a blast and it gave me ataste of what podcasting could
be.
But then life happened, jobshifted and I put the mic down.
(04:45):
The thing is when you go from apodcast to webinars.
It's just not the same.
Webinars are more stiff andcorporate, imagine trying to
teach someone the differencebetween a Roth IRA and 401k
without making them cry.
A podcast now that's a totallydifferent vibe.
It's more me.
(05:05):
It's relaxed, fun, chaotic,basically in my natural habitat.
Let's face it.
I needed a creative outlet,something that wasn't work or
bills or being a responsibleadult.
Adulting is hard and it sucks.
And people have been telling mefor years that I should have my
own talk show, but Ricki Lakealready existed.
(05:27):
So what was even the point?
This podcast is going to be thenext best thing, way less
pressure and zero studiolighting.
So why this podcast is probablywhat you're asking.
'cause, I've got a lot to say alot.
And if no one listens who cares,this is my space to talk shit,
tell stories, and do somethingfor me.
(05:49):
It's a nonjudgmental zone,unless I'm doing the judging,
which spoiler alert willprobably happen a lot.
So welcome to this chaoticlittle corner of the internet.
I have no idea where this isgoing, but I'm excited to find
out and I hope you are too.
Let's talk, laugh, rant, and seewhat mess we can make.
(06:09):
And now that we've got mycredentials out of the way.
Let's talk some shit.
So I'm starting this podcast offby asking the question that
you're all dying to know.
Why the hell am I doing thisnow?
After years of procrastinationtalking about it and straight up
avoiding it, why am I finallydown to record?
(06:32):
Buckle up folks and let's getinto it.
You know how they say when lifegives you lemons, make lemonade?
Life gave me.
Absolutely nothing.
So here's a podcast.
If you follow me on socials, youmay already know that I was
separated from my previouscompany in mid-November.
Yep.
Happy holidays to me nothingsays season greetings, like
(06:56):
losing your job and staring atthe abyss of unemployment.
And if that wasn't enough, thecompany decided to remotely wipe
my personal cell phone withoutmy consent.
That's right folks.
They deleted my wedding photos,videos, and cherish memories of
relatives who have passed.
Gone hundreds of thousands ofphotos, just poof.
(07:20):
It was like an emotional dropkick straight to the gut and
yeah, I should have backed it upbetter, but hindsight's 20, 20,
and clearly I'm an idiot.
So there I was jobless furiousand stuck with way too much time
to reflect on life.
My husband works.
What might as well be twofull-time jobs.
(07:42):
So it's just been me, myself andI.
And if you've ever been stuckwith me in a room for more than
an hour, You understand that I'ma lot to handle.
So my mental health took abeating.
Now.
Since then I've been deep in thetrenches of the job hunt.
And let me tell you job huntingis a full time fucking job,
(08:06):
except instead of a paycheck,you get ghosted by HR and
rejected by AI bots.
So.
It's kind of fun.
Let's talk about those automatedrejection emails for a second.
We've decided to go in adifferent direction.
Oh, cool.
Thanks for nothing.
No feedback.
No explanation.
Just the cold, robotic middlefinger to my time and effort.
(08:30):
It's like getting dumped viatext, but somehow even less
personal.
And then there's the interviews.
Oh boy.
The interviews.
Let me tell you about oneparticular gem I had with a
large healthcare company, andI'm not naming names, but if
you're from the main line, youprobably already know.
(08:52):
I had an interview scheduled for2:00 PM one day and I log in and
after 20 minutes of waiting.
The interviewer finally shows upand there was no pleasantry is
no introduction.
Just what's your name?
What did you apply for this job?
And what job did you even applyfor?
(09:12):
And so I answer and he says,great.
I have 15 more interviews today.
So I'll set you up with someoneelse tomorrow.
That's part of that department.
And he literally hangs up on me.
I can't even ask follow upquestions.
Or anything just completely shutoff the zoom.
So fast forward to the next day,I get the same time, same zoom
(09:35):
link and surprise.
It is the same guy he acts like.
He doesn't know who I am.
And then once he hears my name,he goes, and I talked to you
yesterday.
Why are we talking again?
And I was like, are you kiddingme?
So.
After fumbling through theconversation, he tells me
someone else will contact me.
(09:55):
Well, spoiler alert.
They never did.
And honestly, after that mess,I'm not surprised that hospital
is desperate for staff.
If that guy is running HR, Iwouldn't trust them to organize
a bake sale, let alone ahealthcare facility.
Not every interview has been adisaster though.
I've had a few where the peoplewere lovely, but the job just
(10:18):
wasn't the right fit.
One company wanted me to do thework of five people.
For a salary that you can earnflipping burgers at McDonald's.
I mean, come on.
Burnout is real and I've doneenough.
Unpaid overtime to last alifetime.
At least one hiring manager washonest with me and they were
like, if I was in your shoes,I'd feel the same way.
(10:39):
Okay, sir, respect.
I get you.
But why am I doing this podcast?
Because I needed an outlet.
After all the chaos, therejection and the sheer nonsense
of the past few months.
I need something creative,something just for me.
This podcast is my way of takingback control, telling my story.
And yes, talking some shit.
(11:01):
Because at the end of the day,life can be messy, ridiculous,
and downright unfair, but atleast we can laugh about it.
Or I'm just laughing at myself,whatever it is.
So welcome to my corner of theinternet, whether you're here to
commiserate laugh or just passthe time.
I'm glad you're here.
Let's see where this goes.
And if you're in the middle ofyour own job hunt, hang in
(11:24):
there.
I feel you it's not easy, butyou're doing your best and keep
on doing it.
So, yeah, that's pretty muchwhat I've been up to since I've
been out of work.
Just sitting around like afucking potato and rewatching
shows.
I've seen a million times.
Gossip girl, big bang theory.
Friends, you know, the drillmindless self-indulgent shows
(11:49):
that you don't need to pay toomuch attention to while you
scroll for hours on socialmedia.
And so we finally also gotaround to some movies that we've
missed in the movie theater.
We saw Deadpool and Wolverine.
And I finally watched beetlejuice, beetle juice, and I
thought it was really cute.
(12:09):
It definitely had the vibe ofthe original, but updated for
these days.
And of course, we also binged afew of those hallmark Christmas
movies.
They're cheesy, but it's still avibe.
Cute fun.
Entertaining.
Cringy.
It's a good time.
Now speaking of vibes, I loverewatching gossip, girl.
(12:31):
It's basically a ritual at thispoint.
Every couple of years, I diveback in.
And I cry and laugh over Chuckand Blair.
I mean, they're iconic, right?
Serena she's a total queen.
And then there's Dan.
And don't even get me started onDan.
(12:53):
I couldn't get over the wholegossip girl reveal.
Like, no, absolutely not.
But even with all that, the showalways hits me in the feels it's
super nostalgic.
And honestly, it's the showthat.
I started watching in collegeand my college roommate, who was
a total tomboy.
(13:13):
She totally got into it.
And I know this when she beplaying her video games or
whatever, and then she'd becreeping over my shoulder to
definitely watch and see all thedrama that was unfolding.
And she would have questionsafterwards.
So I knew she was feeling it.
And it definitely brought ustogether closer, bonding over
(13:34):
gossip girl, what a wild time.
Anyway, it's been a lot of TVand job applications and being
in my own brain and honestly ita little frustrating.
You send that resume is gettingnothing back.
It's like, okay, cool.
I guess I'll just rewatch.
Chuck bass being ridiculous forcomfort again.
But on the bright side, there'ssome exciting stuff coming up
(13:56):
and I'm really looking forwardto that.
And I'm looking forward tosharing it with all of you.
My husband and I are going to beheading out on a pretty big trip
soon.
Now this was pre-planned before.
Any thoughts of unemploymentwhere in our minds.
So we have been budgeting for itfor a long time.
And we're excited.
We're going to see some family.
We're going to go to a wedding.
(14:17):
We're going to go to some coolexcursions.
I'll definitely be sharing thetea about that on future
episodes.
So make sure to stay tuned.
But if you're also alreadyinvolved with my social media,
You'll probably see some thingswhile we're on that trip.
Live as they're happening orsome videos that I'll post.
So really excited about the tripand the different places we're
(14:41):
going to see.
I'm excited to see my family.
It's been a long time sinceI've.
Seen them and I think it's goingto be a really great time.
Life feels unpredictable rightnow, but this podcast, it feels
like a slice of stability forme.
I hope you're enjoying it sofar.

All the socials.
And you could share yourthoughts.
Let me know what you think, howthis podcast is to listen to as
it really cringey.
Is it hard to listen to myvoice?
(15:22):
Because to me, my voice soundshorrible, but everyone else says
it's made for radio.
And I don't know if that's a.
A good thing or bad thing.
My dad tells me my face is madefor radio.
So, I mean, I guess there's thattoo, but.
Anyway.

And let me know how I can makethis more fun.
Let me know if there's segmentsyou want me to add, or, if you
have suggestions or stories youwant me to tell I can definitely

I can keep all names anonymous,so don't worry.
(16:05):
But yeah, this is my creativeoutlet.
So if you want to give me someideas of how you think it could
be more fun to listen, to let meknow.
But if this isn't your thing,that's okay.
I really don't care.

Because at the end of the day,life can be messy, ridiculous,
and downright unfair, but atleast we can laugh about it.
Or I'm just laughing at myself,whatever it is.
So welcome to my corner of theinternet, whether you're here to
commiserate laugh or just passthe time.
I'm glad you're here.
Let's see where this goes.
And if you're in the middle ofyour own job hunt, hang in
(11:24):
there.
I feel you it's not easy, butyou're doing your best and keep
on doing it.
So, yeah, that's pretty muchwhat I've been up to since I've
been out of work.
Just sitting around like afucking potato and rewatching
shows.
I've seen a million times.
Gossip girl, big bang theory.
Friends, you know, the drillmindless self-indulgent shows
(11:49):
that you don't need to pay toomuch attention to while you
scroll for hours on socialmedia.
And so we finally also gotaround to some movies that we've
missed in the movie theater.
We saw Deadpool and Wolverine.
And I finally watched beetlejuice, beetle juice, and I
thought it was really cute.
(12:09):
It definitely had the vibe ofthe original, but updated for
these days.
And of course, we also binged afew of those hallmark Christmas
movies.
They're cheesy, but it's still avibe.
Cute fun.
Entertaining.
Cringy.
It's a good time.
Now speaking of vibes, I loverewatching gossip, girl.
(12:31):
It's basically a ritual at thispoint.
Every couple of years, I diveback in.
And I cry and laugh over Chuckand Blair.
I mean, they're iconic, right?
Serena she's a total queen.
And then there's Dan.
And don't even get me started onDan.
(12:53):
I couldn't get over the wholegossip girl reveal.
Like, no, absolutely not.
But even with all that, the showalways hits me in the feels it's
super nostalgic.
And honestly, it's the showthat.
I started watching in collegeand my college roommate, who was
a total tomboy.
(13:13):
She totally got into it.
And I know this when she beplaying her video games or
whatever, and then she'd becreeping over my shoulder to
definitely watch and see all thedrama that was unfolding.
And she would have questionsafterwards.
So I knew she was feeling it.
And it definitely brought ustogether closer, bonding over
(13:34):
gossip girl, what a wild time.
Anyway, it's been a lot of TVand job applications and being
in my own brain and honestly ita little frustrating.
You send that resume is gettingnothing back.
It's like, okay, cool.
I guess I'll just rewatch.
Chuck bass being ridiculous forcomfort again.
But on the bright side, there'ssome exciting stuff coming up
(13:56):
and I'm really looking forwardto that.
And I'm looking forward tosharing it with all of you.
My husband and I are going to beheading out on a pretty big trip
soon.
Now this was pre-planned before.
Any thoughts of unemploymentwhere in our minds.
So we have been budgeting for itfor a long time.
And we're excited.
We're going to see some family.
We're going to go to a wedding.
