It's Rick's Podcast episodes

  • IRP - Matthew Thomas - Political aspirations, baseball, Youtube, family and teaching

    Listen in as Matty and Rick catch up and discuss some very exciting opportunities afforded to and ultimately balked at by Rick. Matty was set to be one of the teammates along with Allen Agostino in a race to be Pickering-Uxbridge's NDP Candidate for the 2022 provincial election. Although the opportunity to run was eventually reneged.  After a cool-down period, the landscape changed, as did the conversation.

    Did you know that you can sync your phone's Youtube account to your smart TV using the "Join using TV Link Code" feature in the Youtube TV app? It's AMAZING! Rick is addicted to watching videos of baseball burnouts and the like.

    The pair discuss teaching and Matt's family, among other things as well.

    Enjoy.

  • IRP - Phil Riopelle - Friends talking about beekeeping, hobby farms, Ninja Turtles, coffee, Taco Bell and MORE

    Phil and Rick don't really have much of an agenda in this episode, but listeners will get to hear about Phil's hobbies, life during COVID and generally just "catching-up."

    Phil is deserving of ALL of the credit for getting Rick into listening to the Joe Rogan Experience, which ultimately is how It's Rick's Podcast was modelled after.

  • IRP - Glenn Jackson - Toronto Blue Jays Ticket Executive, Barrie Baycat #10, Laser-Focused Intensity and The Direction of the Club

    Glenn Jackson is the host with the most when you see him at the ball game. The Rogers Centre (call it what we will) is a positive place for me, even when our team is getting their heads kicked in once in a while. I don't like to pee during the game, because I don't want to miss a thing. I show up early for batting practice, unless I'm doing dinner with the wife beforehand. This is the type of fan I am. We all have favourite faces we see at places we frequent, such as ball games, libraries, or even grocery stores. The ones who seemingly go out of their way to make people feel welcome and happy. Glenn Jackson is this man at his place of work, and I've seen it in action. He has helped me get out from under my own mistakes, the mistakes of others or simple misunderstandings between departments. Glenn is the fixer that a large operation focused on being entertaining, accommodating and different for the type of experience one enjoys. It's interesting to learn of his passions of playing and coaching baseball.  His 16U Mets need to keep listening to this man. Teammates of his, it sounds like Glenn had great respect and love for you. I hope you all hold onto the memories of these great times, as Glenn has. I'd bet they could help anyone in a time of need. If you are a Toronto Blue Jays fan, listen to how excited THIS guy is to help you find your seats (when you're ready)! Go Jays Go!

  • IRP Education Series - Scott Clenchy - Toxic Masculinity, Detentions and General Silliness
    Scott is one of the teachers in a building that kids with trust-issues seem to gravitate towards. He is hilarious, well-rounded and a treat to work with. Listen as two friends and former colleagues "shoot the breeze" whilst enjoying some beverages that SHOULD erode any toxic masculinity within the vicinity. Enjoy!

  • IRP - Warren Edwards - Island Grill GTA, family-man and South Oshawa Champion

    Warren is a hero of many youths in South Oshawa because of the way that he works to help them in ways they may not be ready to even understand. He used the pandemic to start listening to his wife more, as well as to start a business. His chicken is awesome, but not nearly as awesome as his character. Warren Edwards is a great human.

    Check out his work at www.projectimpactyouth.ca or on Instagram @project_impact_youth

    To get some chicken that I highly recommend, find him on Instagram @islandgrill_gta or call: 905.391.4137

    Tell him "Rick sent you." There's no discount or anything... It will just let Warren know if anyone is listening to this podcast.
