In this episode, Ric talks of the impending situation regarding artificial intelligence. Should you worry? Judging by what is being rolled out, probably not. Ric thinks of it as kind of a parlor trick. Sure, it can do a lot of things. But, it doesn't do any of them very well.

"If I could do what you do, I wouldn't be doing this." That is a line a lot of us have used over the years when we have met someone with extraordinary skill and talent. Some of us have heard that line said to us as well. That really is a special moment when that does happen. But, understand what our path is life really is supposed to be is what makes us all unique.

The Earthly population has eight billion humans. That is a lot of people. Or, is it? In this episode, Ric takes a look at just how many people that really is and what impact that number has on a few things. Even hopes and dreams can suffer under a number like that.

You might want to re-think the whole traditional Thanksgiving feast. The price of butter alone should make you think twice. If you want to have some real fun, search Butterball Turkey in Amazon. Something certainly seems off this year and it would appear that all of this talk of Avian Flu may just be an excuse to raise the price on the star of your dinner table. Fish sticks anyone?

If it is one thing about corporate America, it is that all of them hate everybody and each other. It is a sad, yet amusing thing and all any of us can do is accept that. In this episode, Ric relates his time with corporate radio and how working for just the paycheck and the experience is never what you hope it is to be. Also, even away from the corporate game, we are all still players in this messed up world.
