Ever watch or read the news and think you are being lied to? You are. In this episode, Ric tells how the news business works. The whole "infotainment" thing that is the basis behind media coverage of certain events. The sad fact is that is neither informative nor entertaining.

Every day of your life is gamble. Almost everything we do at every waking moment is a matter of chance. The exception to the rule is when we are pretty educated in our choices that we make regarding any activity we engage in. This is especially true when you are actually gambling. In this episode, Ric went to a casino. He didn't win, didn't lose much but he hit the jackpot when it came to people watching.
