of tennis you get out there loaning you you win with grace and you lose with grace and this time you know fortunately pulled off anyone I did get my first taste of what happens when the monsoon shows up to Houston from drive 20 like 3 feet of water in a second that with this with your driving and just started coming down the like oh my goodness now I see why people talk about flooding in Houston it's like a bowl just collects everything with the street literally was a foot of water with only 15 minutes with nuts Houston people are tough that's not even the first time is even happened I mean inches it seems like that's every few years they take on a serious flight was just two years ago they had to Harvey right yeah me that was now get this wrong so we would've correct rebels like over 50 inches of rain in just five hours or something that is not how many homes were washed away crazy this is crazy I mean that kind of puts everything in perspective you know we we worry about the day-to-day digital little annoyances but it would stuff like that happens it's puts all in perspective the year that that Marine I moved from Houston area we lived in league city it did it flooded a maybe a month after we had left there and deed the home that we had in Lake City was I think two and half or 3 feet in the water and the I remember there was a story about Ewa of a worker in one of the high-rises downtown happened to me in the basement just does doing what she was doing and is she was leaving the water came so fast that she tried to basically leave 00 and elevator Mencius it's wild how quickly and there really was a close to sea level to just flood so fast it really does but so would it was awesome to see Lucas when that it was Mother's Day as well we were for your good the gift to his mother was winning this tournament so my daughter was also playing in the terminal so so it was a big tennis we jump to the brown household she did well didn't win it but Jill did well always growing process so what happened in the rigor household so for both of my boys both active add both of them had a basketball tournaments last weekend one of them was was outside of Fort Worth in Mansfield and the other was all down in San Antonio so Marine I had already committed to packing up and enrolling with the other the old one down to San Antonio go see gauge plate and my mom was gracious enough to accommodate getting Mac back and forth his games over the weekend and dad they both both played great and base well engaged in the clinical sure to win their tournament I think Mac was one game short of when there's also but again just another great round of a basketball for both of them but it is I did not like they don't really enjoy it when you have come the big family holiday or some it's recognizing you got that because it's you want to bounce things you want they want your spouse to be able to enjoy the time with both of her kids and then at the same time you want to be able to touch base with your mom so my boys you said well we're just going to arbitrarily move Mother's Day to Monday and they ended up selecting a they got Demaray some fresh oysters we had tuna steak we had some great vegetables the life is gluten-free and so we went got some great gluten-free dessert her to enjoy she had a great time and they are all going to go ride go carts together as is mom and boys said this coming weekend so this will be the activity my mom and I going to meet for dinner we actually haven't had our exchange yet so I think they were going to get this weekend and then but as a family what were doing I think you're doing and also his generosity feeds old generosity feeds that's us we could have a small leaking yeah baby bathwater member right deadly rockabilly were going to go and Ron Ron is put together a fantastic service where he goes to different communities and helps people feed the needy in the area and you just come together if you are a company that's giving of your time or just a family you can go participate you put in some hours in the morning packing meals getting stuff together raising money to feed people the need to eat and signed up down so that's I told her that that was actually on this week and that's really awesome giving back that's important to you absolutely Ron of mod pizza Ron so it's can't I can't wait to see everyone this week and on Saturday that's really awesome I was you jump into my science article which is all about CBD and depression is really cool and something picks me this news article it's all over the news right now you may be seeing it where it says study skipping breakfast increases risk of heart disease by 87% so if you're someone out there and you're getting on Huffington Post are you looking at USA Today or Fox News or something the study came out now I it so happens that I follow a guy that I really respect Peter Addie a cardiothoracic surgeon really cool blue doors on Joe Rogan all the time and you know he's somebody that lives he lives the same way that that I like you look at the data he says this appears to work this doesn't he is a big proponent of circadian rhythm eating which is what Saturn handled it all his research on its we got great data to show that actually eating within a restricted time widow is much healthier for you ship builders like history office because I'm looking at this and I got to thinking that looking back Peter Addie actually sent a blog out this morning on this and the origin of breakfast is the most important meal of the day we ever told that before I've heard a lot that was actually generated by General Foods in 1944 for the launch of grape nuts how that worked like okay guys here's the problem we have an awful tasting cereal it's like chili rocks yeah but you know it's the it's the bosses to the came up with that we have to figure way to get people to eat this crap so how do we do it let's launch a campaign that says breakfast is the most important meal the day and it's Doc so these news outlets there picking up on this study right here and when you actually look at it there doing the same thing that we discussed about other types of studies like when I looked it retrospective analysis of this is a study of a study yeah so what they did is they looked at a it was a large with colored prospective cohort study where they have been following the same group of people for years and years and years and they looked at them after 19 years and then decided what they died and then I looked in the on the questionnaire somehow that questionnaire did you eat breakfast did you not a breakfast so those that ate breakfast apparently lived 87% decrease in mortality those that breakfast so it's really funny what they didn't discuss so this is one of those examples were it's like everything I get it these websites and stuff you have to grab your attention chair they have to sit there and do this little is the resume read anything the studies want to be dramatic so that they get published so what they did is they looked at this cohort of people 19 years later and it also Eric Rieger dies 19 years from now it's like to be breakfast yes no oh wow he lived X money is more sure they didn't they tried to account for extraneous factors with a column but yet was I will that just means a lot of things what they did note is this this is pretty funny those that didn't eat breakfast tended to be unmarried okay smokers heavy drinkers and come from low income areas it did this is not apples to apples to know it's not that's why you picked me off dad because these things come out I've got data now I'm personally I'm a circadian rhythm theater meeting that I try and wait at least 12 hours between turning on my digestive system sure so I believe that based on section pandas data that is really good that intermittent fasting essentially this is what it's called also but trying to do it through circadian rhythm meeting let your body shut down but it wake up then you can feed it for instance if you eat about four hours before you go to bed melatonin starts to rise a little bit and it turned your pancreas off when you eat you stop that process right so there's a reason why when we were cavemen you would quit eating at a certain time because there is no sun you will find the food our bodies are built to do that so then we know that there's all this incredible data Melanie Avalon who does the intermittent fasting intermittent fasting progesterone on the broadcast which you can ask you back on here really really soon I was really absolute love that girl yes she's awesome that is a great example we have people out there that are looking at the science but nobody's publishing it's not going on Fox news here is the worst part this is published in the Journal of cardiology that is garbage and that's it that's a garbage approach to add to really sensationalize that the piece in the it appears to me you may as well say that study reveals that Ted serial killers at one point were 10 issues I mean seriously that's it that's the only application is no control well it's it's it's it's so frustrating because all the good is looking back when you have people out there that are currently doing the science right now right when you look at that you know what quite honestly I don't even need science only 90 as I know that Hugh Jackman got ready to be Wolverine by doing intermittent fasting and that's proof he's just man we saw ejectment so you know he got yet link so what's what's interesting is that they'll even get into the actual relative risk so healthy users they didn't analyze like what people were eating for breakfast I made in any of yeah that's really important to and so remember this is General Foods and so it's like old we go back to eating lucky charms in the morning is the study says that some people do want to decrease my mortality by 80% 87% when you actually get the numbers in the study if you look at the relative risk the relative risk and those that ate breakfast was 10.7% those that didn't 12.2 so it's a it comes into you know it's the quick bake type thing that's not all is so let me ask you so that listeners can have a little bit of a take away if somebody does want to continue to eat breakfast and obviously I think what we were saying here is if your intermittent faster and you wait until certain time of day the evidence doesn't show that there's anything wrong with that whatsoever and then the other thing to take away is there there are those who do like to still eat breakfast I'm actually one of them I could move my window up of when I eat during the day that's kind of mimed my window not at that were never adjusted but what would you recommend that somebody start off the day of eating it's obvious I gotta be great Mr. Lucky charms, could you also let's yeah I mean I don't know it's the General Foods woman came up with that statement right sure I'm trying to get little label and I'm thinking is that on cocoa puffs is that on fruity pebbles right is cookie crisp they have a serial when I grew up cold cookie Chris sure hoping you went anywhere either still here yeah that's right Orton frosted flakes frosted it's not it's not Angel notes on Angel hair that's on the sugar but I made it but it it's it's right and I thought about that not that long ago about how many bowls of cereal is a kiddo.put away we all ate cereal I don't think a thing about it in the what was it the Capt. crunch berries eat me save all the berries in the end and then and then you yeah you take out the berries down the certainty of your slurp up the milk as it takes great was all baited and sugar and then even though you did the roofer your mouth run from Cap'n Crunch dull beat up, like it cannot get good heart, we have to crunch good hurt was wrong liking talk I haven't had great cereal my house now but it's it's it's weird that we are all conditioned to think that that was all okay and really looking back at it change the way that I consume breakfast in the morning for years I don't get fatigued I'm not starving by the time lunch comes round either on the bacon and eggs coming out yet so let's meet when I sit and think about this and unfortunately I think that when you have the Journal of American cardiology putting this out there and I get it somebody took a lot of time to look at the data link yet but the data says that some like yeah but the responsible news outlets are not sharing it the way that should be just exactly right and when we sit on top of this it's not just its breakfast it's what you eating for breakfast because remember what happens is when you have a highly absorbable carbohydrate sugary sugar sugar is a pro-inflammatory thing which is everything in moderation that's cool carbohydrates are dark are good for you but what happens is you eat it and this is required I discussed this with my patients all the time the sugar gets absorbed your pancreas sees this rise in trigger goes oh I need to produce some insulin and insulin slowly rises to match the spike but then that gets absorbed right away so your sugar drops but your insulin is a hormone that folks around and it's your body feels bad now and then it becomes a cycle of I need to get something me now because I don't feel good and then you eat that doughnut literally the worst thing you could do is eat a glazed donut a cup of coffee because the coffee actually turns on your metabolism you metabolize that don't quicker you have that spike insulin horrible things when people tell me that the likable man I've really tried to greeted in sugar but I really I I have hypoglycemia no you don't writer John of hyperglycemia what you have is a correct response to the sugar that you're eating so insert their name all the cereals I remember absolutely crashing in grade school but crash sure yeah 10 o'clock to strong lawful yeah if your bid if you ever being honest and you had a high sugar breakfast as a kid and he think about how much you wanted to get to lunch both to relax and then taking more food there really wasn't natural but I had I knew no better in all we got one minute one minutes giving to add to that study just to say that next week the one that I really went deep diving into which is supercool so if you know anybody that has depression or anxiety to the next week as I want to review a just published article where it looks at how CBD on the cellular level convict your depression that's fantastic in

those guys need training like no other we are back how their second half-hour to my right now is Rick Moore and as we dubbed him the Josh of some traits yes so Rick Moore we vote thank you for sending over your resume there's a few things that are really impressed with Rick Moore written or is the only man to ever make a pancake on a waffle iron thank you impressive I heard that you counted to infinity twice it was tough but you know I just kept going and I power through it that what I thought was impressive but that that time that you beat the sun in a staring contest it you know my eyes are there little itchy now actually they are but I was impressed earlier when you came in but because I did not know this when written or enters a room he doesn't turn the lights on he turns the dark off I say Luke I'm your father backwards in my mind and yeah that's how it works so is also known as he's written which you know what I've always wanted to say that Rick Moore bench pellet just a little bit about who you are well okay I I'm a little modest I never go out like in a situation and say oh you know what I'm a Playboy photographer I never do things like that but it was something that I earned and I felt really strongly about was really happy about that was a very long-term goal and it's so important you know when you're a kid achieving little things so that when you're older you can focus on something and at your doctor your anesthesiologist you urinate think these are the same thing those things are long-term goals and it takes a perseverance to get their Playboy photographer it sounds all fun and great but it doesn't just you know people think wow you know I was in the grocery store line and somebody said hey by the way you want to be a playboy photographer as I Why not you know yeah that did not happen and the pilot I'm still it lets you going to bed because I've seen your pictures and it's really impressive when people hear that they just think oh is a playboy photographer but the reality is how to get into photography it's EA you're welcome to cut me off at any time but I started out when I graduated from high school wasn't sure what to do my grandfather became ill in California and I had no experience with this but my father promoted me to caregiver and so I went out and I took care of him as he was terminally ill with prostate cancer while I never really knew the guy and it was amazing we bonded together we had the best time to guy had all these Oklahoma sayings like breath like a bird on the grapevine the whistle and through the trip you know that Stan and Harold were you when you were doing I was 17 and and while turning 18 I turned 18 that summer and when he passed away my father had come out it became too much for me to really he went back into the hospital care facility and that I would just go visit him and my father came back in and after he passed my father gave me his camera and you know I think most teenagers there really looking for something like I want to play guitar nothing man no matter how many lessons I had nothing and different things like that you want to stand out in some way and for some reason the genetics that I received I had a technical side in an artistic side and at that time a film camera which is very different from a digital camera had certain hurdles that you had to you had to be able to fly over those and so my technical side was able to do that my artistic side for my mom just she gave me a natural eye for composition and immediately I broke something on the camera there were no instructions it was completely manual no light meter so I would just go and ask every camera salesman I confront why did the picture not work and it was a great conversation as well it was very interactive and my mom gave me any of them, that maybe this camera was really old special know you know what I think it's a great path because the problem with of and it the incredible cameras of today they just taken pictures the most important thing about photography first is your eye and some people can just you know the cameras doing so many things automatically for them they have a great eye but when you have to do everything yourself you really have to look at what light is doing and what shadow is doing and those are what make a great photograph of flattering photographs and unflattering photographs to dramatic photograph a flat boring photograph and so by starting from that basic foundation where I met the guy that shot a lot of the Marlboro ads okay and in his talk he he doesn't use a light meter he just used those sheets that came with a package of film and he knew light so well he knew the military it was F-16 enough 125 why do I need a light meter that's what it is file and that's consistent every single day that it's sunny at that time a day is always the same exposure on that he so so what was your first pay did the photographer wow that was so long ago you know what I did was then we didn't talk about any of this but I worked on my Masters at OU and something that was more astounding to a friend of mine we went on a trip to Columbia's I taught his friend in college I was an instructor is also working on massacres that he didn't care anything I find always get a be saying the Playboy thing all the time never mention because this is my buddy Rogers Prof. in college while what a professor I was an instructor but that was an awesome awesome experience of the whole communication thing is awesome so when I left that instead of going on in that direction becoming a scholar which would've been ill-fated I went towards my dream of photography I started assisting in Dallas and I assisted for I thought it was gonna be probably two months was five years and that's where I got my photographic education there were tremendous incredible photographers in in Dallas and I focused on assisting the ones that had gone to a particular school in California there were two great schools the art center school design and Brooks and I assisted probably every photographer in Dallas that graduated from the Art Center in Sandy getting 80,000 of the two months and then suddenly now turns into five years what what what kept you going you know it was the knowledge and I was getting paid like I I'd I didn't realize I mean I was a lazy teenager you know I could lay in front of the television for a very long time that a problem the gap my mom even told her I said no mom I feel guilty and she had something written for me and in calligraphy the time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time and later in life she said I knew you were going to be a busy person and I knew that that time wouldn't always be there for you what was the baby bathwater lecture that that guy that I that I think is amazing that neuroscientists Jack yeah his name is Jack we heard this great lecture that she's a neuroscientist and him talking about how in the periods of what people would describe as boredom oh yeah Tom's genius so we don't allow ourselves to be bored we don't allow ourselves to sit there and let our minds wander like that if you've got a very creative mind know so there so sit in front to get what I would say that you lazy it just seemed like you were subconsciously planning what will happen you know what's interesting about that is in this current day an and in my I drive to South Texas nine hours every month for my mom and and come back and during that time most audiobooks but I I and there do not I'm not learning anything your science fiction but I've noticed that I used to just drive and just you know you'd blank out and then you'd start daydreaming and you start thinking of things I've been I've been pondering that a flight you know what I really need to have that time back where I'm bored and my mind wanders because that is it is really important that's where a lot of cool stuff comes from so you're doing this I mean ultimately I'm interested how would we go from there to be one of the best Playboy photographers when you're done covers you do that for years of where we go from there to actually get into be the the chosen one to do Playboy photography by the way let's go had mentioned something this is pre-Photoshop oh yeah no yeah yeah when I heard that yeah what we're talking a little earlier I was like oh yeah Photoshop did not exist they did have you know and the thing about being the difference between a Playboy photographer in a fashion photographer at that and that. In film fashion photographer could shoot a roll of 36 frames get to frames that were spectacular like the everything just came together and then the other 34 frames were mowed as a Playboy photographer what everyone has the screamo I'd love to do that the editors of Playboy and we do this seminar together now where I get to talk with him what he Gary Cole he was the head Playboy editor of all photography for like 35 years and he said you know it wasn't our job to be friends with the photographers it was our job to get the most out of them and so if I sent 1036 frames and one frame was out of focus or poorly composed or you couldn't she clearly see the eyelashes of the model under loop I was in trouble so a Playboy photographer had to be able to get 36 frames not two in focus composed perfectly lit and the only variations are what the model brought to it you know like our interaction and what you are saying about will how did I get to be a playboy photographer it has to do with the ability first somebody to become at ease okay in an awkward environment most Playboy models were not models they were girls next door I did a lot of the castings met a lot of the girls before hand they had never done anything like this shirt and so my longtime assistant and I as I was an assistant to a Playboy photographer we weren't serious onset we words trying to figure out who is going to get a date we were laughing we were focused on trying to do a great job in the model could she could feel that unit interviewing somebody with the cam you're getting the best out of them yes we were doing everything to support her make her feel safe and after a while you know we are cracking up the crew is cracking up makeup artist stylist we are all just this is our work and were comfortable with it and the model would kind of feel that and after a while just like you know okay I'm great I'm good with all this and that's very different from a guy with a camera trying to replicate those photographs of support they missed a couple thoughts come to mind and one of them is obviously that the guy with the camera has to be probably the center of great interaction received by the model so that they know they're having a conversation with the same person who has right the camera another one is whenever you take you back to when he said all 36 frames had to be on point essentially don't have anything out of focus so it sounds to me like whenever you are taking those you're pushing the button you wanted ever every single one of those was executed with purpose it wasn't a string of hold the button down and you hear the cheat sheet cheat sheet you have the camera it's this is a shot that I want I've got it I've got this person in their best present mode etc. make any comment to me I how do you Eddie commit to pushing the button and try to hit 36 and 36 times while the other thing you just mentioned about the focus this is pre-autofocus so yeah and so you are focusing on somebody you're involved in that dynamic and so it for me it I it's it's easy for me to have a conversation it's easy for me to operate a camera doing both is a bit of a stretch yeah and so that you know that something that I had to work on during those five years of being an assistant I assisted a Playboy photographer and I watched him and it was really funny because I would set up as lights I would do all this and and I thought okay have got this and then I would do my own test and I didn't have it and how do I not have this and he told me after about a year is very generous with me and he said I have a fudge factor I don't I don't go by the light meter I go by what I feel the exposure should be and he was really good at directing you know doing this multitasking and so I was able to learn that way you know by watching and listening do you feel like having to commit to each one of the pictures that you took we made our made you make certain that the conversation was far more personal because your just like he said you directing your helping them make this image exactly how you know that it's going to pass muster so the conversations really gone versus just standing there, losing some your personality hitting the button over and over again with with quote unquote throwaways which he didn't have you didn't want throwaways you wanted every yeah I couldn't have trouble right and end that I mean it's I'm not saying that lightly I got in trouble like I got you know people don't realize when a Playboy editor once the best out of you right it's not necessarily gentle because kits you can't have self-doubt either you have to be in the flow state is what I'm thinking like you have to get yourself in the in in a certain place because of your doubting of your letters that you like that it's going to show up that's the I think that's what's so impressive about why there's certainly world renowned photographers and everybody that has a camera trying to be one there's there's a gift there somewhere that when you know my father was a geologist and then he became an entrepreneur he didn't want to work for the man he wanted to do his own thing and he became a builder and real estate investor he could not understand why I wanted to be a photographer and unfortunately he passed away and 92 from a glioblastoma but he got to see me in the zone one time we were traveling to California together and we were at a rest stop and I saw something and it was very weird for anyone to see something in that environment and II went into the zone and he got to see and I didn't know he was seeing it after we got the car we started driving his like I I get I get it now want to be a photographer because I you were so in that you know and then he saw the photographs in the Bloom way it was not you note it wasn't what you saw with her neck at night what's what's in the frame how I exposed it and you member the exact feeling that you had when you're in that zone oh yeah describe it to everything else goes away I'd say it's kind of like meditation you know where I see what can be in that photograph but in the days of film you can't see what's going to happen and I like what separated the men from the boys and film photography is shooting negative film had a lot of latitude you could be off a lot shooting slide film or chrome film you couldn't be off at all and so I shot chromosome because that's why I aspired to shoot for a magazine I aspired to be one of those guys and that's what they shot when you were in that that. When you're in the flow state was it hot will look like what was there like how did you feel describe didn't you know what you wish and I can say this for my play wishes because it happened so often while I was shooting I wasn't hungry I wasn't hot I wasn't called I wasn't thirsty I was just in it after I finished shooting I was like after that had gone away for a little while that I was starving and I was tired and I needed to sit down and rest but while I was in that zone it was you know your your basic needs are met you know you don't need stuff the reason why I'm trying to get you to think of the exact moment in the mood that you were in we Eric and I were lucky enough to meet up with a guy named Michael burn off last week you were to ask you to in Scottsdale and she is a neurolinguistic programming expert oh interesting and opaque and when you are describing this or describing a time how many years it was how man that would've been like 1990 so 1990 you're describing it to me like earlier like it happened yesterday you have that memory burned sure thing one of the things about NLP is that I'm just learning this but this is what something I would get really good at because doing exactly what you just said you were in a flow state NLP has something called anchoring where what you do is you repetitively really feel that emotion whatever motion it is whatever motion you want to Tony Robbins does this every says he has his pre-stage warm up that's is anchoring routine so that he gets his he can increase or decrease as energy by doing a was called anchoring. So like that moment right there if you think about that really think about you to flow state and then do a physical movement to connect your brain to something people tap the leg to climb surface they do different things and you really believe it then you can train your brain to go into that flow state when you want it's really cool stuff but I sought they are unlike while the ability to do that will go that that's off-topic to get out so so that's what you do this which is always it's always that moment when a father is your maybe he was worried about you at all. To delete something she testing as he had been an amateur photographer and an amateur inventor and he was he became a father and he had to quit and put away childish things and focus on what he had to do to put food on the table her and he was a great guy great provider smart guy and I didn't realize how me and my friends he meant toward an eye I continue to run into it I would not of you know I ran into a guy that I'd seen in 20 years is out of never bought real estate if it not been for your father and you know it it that didn't happen for me until later in life where I wanted to pursue my own dream and my father was so loving and concerned about me that he went to other people to tell them to coach me on not becoming a photographer he wanted me to skip that step and go on to being an entrepreneur and to invest in real estate and a banker will president of a bank called me in young guy had a great camera system had a dark room outside of his house you know Rick I'm president of this bank I can afford any camera I want I can do photography on trips and you know what that's what you should do and I said my dad's been talking to you and and my dad was funny he would take vanilla from Mexico was pure vanilla then when you you can only get a chemical extract United States take out and give that all the bank tellers everyone at the bank everyone knew him by his first name and you know he was just a great guy with camaraderie and stuff I guess only ask a favor is no problem but I was like yeah how's my dad it's you do you have any regrets about spending the first part of your career doing photography for the other sheriff which ties into the other guest we've had on the show know know it was you know you have these different dreams or goals I just saw on on Facebook they ran a picture in Brownsville of this hotel that I was no longer just browse a lifeguard there and my brother is a lifeguard so I wanted to get sick I gotta be a lifeguard and then a friend of mine Greg had taught while he was working on his Masters like I want to do that and then it's like that happen for me and it was I never thought I'd really want to teach although my mother was a teacher there was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life it was just awesome photography specifically as a Playboy photographer you know you and I we have spoken a little bit about this before about I had stage fright really extreme stage fright from my mom wanting to endear me with cultural foundations evinces front like you do like to speak in public you did note that she put me on tap and ballet at four I had a rather high but the entire time I did not order aside and so you know I'm I'm dressed in this feather cost tailored to his word what you're becoming a photographer you can step in and yeah yeah so my God Sadie was a big auditorium at University of Oklahoma and four years old four years old and I remember this I do not enter this feeling I've been fighting this feeling my entire life so I've done a lot of other things but yeah the curtain opens ears like for me as a kid it look like a thousand people I didn't either never learn the dance I did know a recital was and so the girl next to me is so sweet I remember that she was turning and she was trying to coach me to turn saws turning out of step with everyone else her and my brother yelled way to go Rick Meyer audience burst out laughing so whatever I would do anything from then on it that always happened so it like I was at a Christmas play in a rural school and they had real animals and I was a shepherd was the third Shepherd and I had a real cheap in my sheep it turned out was a jackass and didn't want to move this is the nativity scene I think yeah okay yeah everyone's on stage course of third Shepherd and I'm up there wrestling with that she and I had to grab it by its front hooves and pull it down the whole thing so people are already laughing I had to pull it and wrestle it on stage and put my foot on it while they're singing silent night and it's saying is going to be you know sent to slaughter something and yeah everyone cracked apples like yeah this just does not go really well just think about that the debt looking up when you're describing this you have this memory that you can never shake the movie central intelligence with the rock now no well basically the Rockies massive but she overcompensated his whole life because of one bad experience and whenever he gets insecure he think about that that's not what that's exactly what you had significant stage fright and is that the reasons that's crazy but because that you have no problem with that of a creep up when you were both models and stuff like that when your basement and Saiz did the camera allow you to never have the feeling I didn't experience it one on one or with groups I experienced it when I would step on stage be in front of a microphone be in front of a camera that kind of thing when I was going to have to stand up and and that's why I started doing classes acting classes improv classes well I took the acting class and it was way out of my league and a really great person and there said you know what I know this great acting coaches names Don shook and he has a talent for someone like you I know that feeling that he did he really did pretty good actor for a photographer yeah whatever were trying to do different business things like that's not bad for about Dr. CRA does almost adequate training is is you make a great website that will help you that's Larry's so obviously you are you are looking for something now to move beyond photography we got about a minute here till this segment ends will take it over but is going to be a lot more to come Rick with the way that you move from photography to where you are today so how many years did you do the photography with the shop for Playboy for 20 years and then while I was doing that I was also free to shoot commercial worksite shot commercial work all over and was it just a great run is really you know fantastic career in those 20 years when the technology started to change how does that make you feel you know I think all of us were just thinking it was amazing and and fantastic but it actually killed the whole business of being a you know the the professional photographer role that I got to have kind of no longer exists but it was great while it lasted and I there are new avenues people are inventing new things you know but it's a it's a new world than the availability of digital images just on the line it online how people can find your how just you just change them is change the landscape just Russell is fighting a shot I uploaded my computer I press auto enhancement to the redeye out you can just do only that this concert will talk about later 30 years ago I shot it on film with the camera didn't have autofocus and I was at guitar convention and in Dallas watching the guy stand in front of everybody very rudely take pictures and watching the screen of the camera as it automatically focused exposed and balanced and the images were great that's the end of this half-hour Rick is going to

Voltron deal and a free bottle of KB MD CBD the only physician approved CBD on the market we were just really back to Rick right now we were just talking about the fact that due to a traumatic tap and ballet experience when you're four years old carried over and felt some significant stage fright we do know that CVD does this of the study on how about next week does help with both anxiety and depression I will take a little right now what you get back into it and talk about why you decided to take acting classes will and on that note I'm from the generation where you know we were given antibiotics like vitamins my vegetables came out of a can I have Nestlé's quick you know sugar the generation that's going on right now I will say my crap is happening my lot that's how I grew up and and so I didn't know what good biome was I didn't know anything about Pro probiotics I just knew that when I ate beans bad things happened and so when Bino came out I saw that I was in oh I was in a drugstore and my father and said if you ever find anything I love being sweeping still love me and so I got this bottle and I which the checkout stands, scared is kind of like buying something you kind of herb are embarrassed about and I I went up to the the check out is this older lady super nice intrapsychic disease work being no really and there was there is a lady behind me and I was super embarrassed and she goes you know what you could save 1/4 on this is supposed be no check whatever cashiers stand was 25 I was just turning redder and redder but that was at beginning and since then you know the altar until the CBD oil like more and more you know your gut is that's the foundation that's where everything happens and so my gut was a real mess and I heard part of the melatonin conversation I want to hear more that because I've had sleep problems and just the whole gut health is something that I didn't have for a long time and that's something that you know it it's it's really important well by us but we always say that all health begins and ends in the gut and I do want to say that we mentioned at the beginning of the show that you own Redbud medical MJ in Oklahoma City yesterday the first dispensary which carries my CBD and my baby up front feels that a right that's right you want to kill some got together is what we put these together if you wanted a little geeky about it given your clients command you like why so miss you like because gut health is really important because information starts in the gut and CBD decreases that but what upfront yield as the polyphenols yes raise your own Amanda mind which is your own endo- cannabinoid so it actually stops the enzyme that breaks down when we don't sleep we go through stressful periods this enzyme called FAA H goes up you actually decrease your own endogenous under cannabinoid so that's why they go together and that's actually how I got into the side to see beauty but that's if somebody comes in your store so this is a whole new world and the thing is Redbud is it's a medical MJ dispensary cannabis and CBD and trying to add we have people that you know it it it's not you know there's that perception about how it's this is all a charade to get high and it's not we have real people coming in with real problems we are not doctors you know and this it's so weird that this is this whole new field that the cloak is being pulled off of after 80 years and were all just starting and my former former girlfriend is a PhD in neuroscience and she's she's constantly when we have this conversation she's like Rick your nuts need of these this studies have not been done on this yet Mike yeah but it's happening you know this is happening without studies where things are happening in the store will talk about my manager's father whenever so my manager imagine if we actually had like a producer that was to stay on script my life is squirrel I so Christie her father and I've known Kristi and her family since the early 90s Christie is your partner in the business right she's my manager she and I dated in the 90s and she has her own and her sister's their own Playboy fame they were in a big pictorial and 97 for Playboy magazine and you know really really you know cool background in everything but her father was it a former Oakland city police officer and he was he waited way too long he was smoking a cigar sitting on his chair watching TV didn't go to see the doctor in time had stage IV esophageal cancer so stage IV means that it is already spread in the survival of that is pretty low so he was given he couldn't swallow anything day the facility but feeding tubes in forum and he hated the hated everything his mind wasn't clear at the time he wasn't cooperating he did one round of chemo and they sent him home and said you know what there's really nothing we can do for him and so Christie sisters took upon themselves to become his caregivers and through dispensary we were able to get him Rick Simpson oil and to get them CBD so let Eric explain what Rick Simpson will is because you're actually very knowledgeable in this Rick Simpson and my understanding is that Rick sits and basically came up with a protocol that is high concentrated THC light and so I think that his theory was that it was going to disable the ability for the either the propagation or the replication of cancerous cells and how they were to prove all that I'm not exactly sure but I do know that it's almost like distillate in terms of THC so just like you would take a liquor and you're starting with the raw material in the new course hafted cooking mash and then bright distilled down my understanding is basically Rick Simpson oil is just highly concentrated THC and then they use it for kiddos who have a really bad seizures all kinds of different things like that so the sisters basically put a few drops of that and CBD oil in a teaspoon gave it to them and were just like were not going to just let them die and after three days his throat started clearing and he was able to swallow his own saliva after for five days the THC kicked his appetite in an that some other stories that I'm aware of in my past oath of any way that works really well the THC kicks in appetite and and lowers nausea so he asked for a doughnut they gave him half a doughnut and he ate it then he asked for more I started feeding him so after two weeks he went to see the doctor didn't just saw the nurses he had gained 16 pounds bag weeks in two weeks I'll ask him what he was doing and he said while meeting I had Corona and fried chicken before I came in six is not the optimal diet but the sisters were just trying to give him whatever he wanted to eat and put weight on tonight, your weight gain which tells a lot to me from from a scientific standpoint so he gained that much weight naturally appear to time there is something that is very well known its tumor wasting syndrome the tumor itself actually uses up all the energy actually goes into a catabolic state that's how come people get cancer even if it's not a cancer of the esophagus will lose a profound amount of weight when you said two weeks first thing I thought of is that to shrink double the tumor the tumor wasting process was stopped it shrank by 50% while sure their measurements and they took the feeding tubes out and so Ito that's I don't have a background for measuring an Avis in a scientific way but you know things like acupuncture evolved out of a pragmatic approach and I think that's what's happening and it may have been happening in the past and we didn't know about it because a patient like that the doctor might ask him will have you do this when they can't say because in Texas a vague cartridge is a felony Rick Simpson oil highly concentrated telling a felony I mean that's not just sad to me that's criminal so we had to leave with addresses with joy Beckerman we talked about was Sean when he was on Christmas song Christmas song we've covered this a lot because when when you see something that powerful I see it in my patients when I the fact that until the farm bill passed technically CBD also help derive CBD which is a perfectly legal to what things were timeout that shut Patrick brought up was the fact that depression and anxiety and things have been increasing ever so through technology check Patrick through something out there he goes do you think that start happening when they criminalize the hemp industry and we quit putting it in food we quit because then we were losing a lot of those vital cannabinoids right well I myself you know we been talked about how cool it was for me to be a playboy photographer and all that that ended in 2011 the Chicago office was she was close down much like the movie the secret life of Walter Mitty Ben Stiller almost everything that happens that movie-shot in Iceland but you know I wasn't really the photographer character is much as I was also the Ben Stiller character or is always dreaming of doing things but everything that happens to them in that movie pretty much happened at the Chicago office was never fired I was never I didn't quit the office that I worked for ceased to exist and 300 people that made that work were no longer there and that happened my mom became ill my friend of mine that I as I became a caregiver for my mom that saw this happening I asked what your mom is sick with so memory problems dementia we try to get a proper diagnosis diagnosis she couldn't handle the die at that time to really tell us what it was and basically what that doctor was saying was just depressing us so my brother and I became her co-caregivers and my brother he's a very pragmatic guy and he took her off of one pharmaceutical after another until she was only on blood pressure so she takes I give her it set 369 Omega balance in a gluten-free waffle in the morning and put coconut oil on that she get CBD in her coffee she takes a vitamin shake it has everything in it is so she gets that everything I would add is that there was a study they came out with absorbable tumor with a 2 to 2 parties that have dementia and because to work itself is brutally absorbable right but there is there certain brands that actually cross the blood brain barrier and that actually show that the one group that took that had improved memory in an adult until two so that's what that's what I have all my patients do CBD the Omega threes door or fish oil tumor and are trying to heal and we should have the trunk show I've tried adding turmeric here and there it hasn't stuck yet so I need to find the one that is you know oh I know a great way to get that sign up for this the D had health jihad health box and I was all about you and Dee had box.com I'm sorry dear Scott old the office shut down remind you where to go for a good friend of mine in Oklahoma that I he he was my NASCAR crew chief at Sears for the last 25 years and my father's before that and they just close that Sears I can't believe LOL yeah that.I was hoping to hire some of those employeesat the but the dispensary but not big enough yet but anyway he said look Rick if you he says I'm not saying this it can happen but if you lose your girlfriend oh you know you've got too many things on your plate right now and it's just doubts something else you don't have to worry about and it happened to me while I was caring for my mom and then that did happen to be so psyched my dream job my mom comes down without girlfriend gone and how many other things one of my best friends passed away and a guy that I kind of help mentor totally stab me in the back so I was trying but my my great friend stick boy that's been my sister for 20 years I got solid as a rock we just went to Panama together but I went to a back pain guy that was I've tried all these alternative things he was a Buddhist healer and was injured back issues of the time also oh yeah so all this is going on yeah and and you know the guy sat with me for 20 minutes he said something that's going on with you and I told him what it happened was like that guy after you help them pulling that on yet really hurt your feelings didn't I haven't thought about it was like yeah I guess now you mention it it did and then he started working on my back it was like his job to unlock any emotional you know it was all physical right yeah and it did ease my backup so I have tried a lot of different things in this map I came down with I did know what depression was I've never been depressed and I would go to place falls on mom duty that I'd gone to for years now there is no one there I knew but I drove 45 minutes ago there was like a black curtain just came over my eyes and I was totally uncomfortable there and I just got back in my pickup truck and drove 45 minutes home and I was okay in front of the television and it should be developing some social anxiety at this point and I this it was so foreign to me I couldn't you know I'd never I'd always been even though I have stage fright in terms of getting up in front of a group I've never had problems walking up to somebody in talking to venture or being in a group environment and so that was really weird to me what I can say is that since I've pretty much gotten through that now like better diet I became Pesca Terrien just looking after myself looking at what I'm eating looking at what I'm doing you know those are the building blocks and and so I've gradually kind of been working my way and so yeah pretty good now but I've noticed having dispensary has certain benefits if I start feeling like that man a little bit and I'm not the thing is I've never been a stoner I don't I didn't really like the different experiences in the variety of effects that it could have one time I'd be happy want I might be sitting in a chair not wanting to talk to anybody in high school or something if you're just thinking wow that's me and a good friend of mine clued me into that there are these different strains of what I never knew that right is only like just a few years ago so during my adult life I never smoked and I was very cautious about it so learning about it that there is Indica which is more of a you state it's called couch lock you want to sit down on your couch you want to watch TV or go to sleep early in the couch yeah and or city of the upbeat and what's so funny is one of the things I've smoked early on was Acapulco Gold that's not a hybrid it's a pure sick even I didn't know what it was I had no idea that will now my dispensary carries that overheads of faith and it is so interesting because it's just that you know for me again not really a stoner but that little puff would bring me out of if I were starting to feel a little down bingo you just keep referring to the Redbud medical MJ how did you end up even get them in word we went from right photography to depression and now we jump forward and you just open well the store so my brother and I've been taking care of our mom for 10 years the level at which you have to be able to compete as a photographer at that level is 120% just like you guys put that into your work you really have to be audit and focused and available because people call you and they need it yesterday and so me being a month on a month off is no longer able to do that and when I was with my mom I can just tell this is where I need to be right now I just it was a comfortable feeling with her you know she's like the daughter I never had now sure and we have done water aerobics wheat we do lots of fun things together and it's not like it's I'm not Pete I don't want to paint a picture like this is an awful time I really enjoy sure and but I was kinda looking for something else and on my own path of finding you know things for my ailments as I'm getting older things hurt you know II get some inflammation and so on this path I became more and more interested in cannabis and after the explicit explanation and a good friend of mine in Dallas we were talking about investing when it look like medical marijuana was in a pass as you know a broad-based opportunity in Texas and it it really didn't so with Christie in Oklahoma she and I were talking about it she is a Somali EA of cannabis she can like literally a grower has come into our dispensary shall smell what he brought in and say you know what you need to cure this for another two weeks on LA you can tell if it's Hydro soil grown she is literally a Somali eight of cannabis and

got Jay project join here with Rick Moore owner of Redbud metal MSA J my fault that I read but when it was a grand opening you just started so yeah you know what I think organ have the grand opening were looking at doing a show of my photographs from 1989 at the Moscow world peace Festival the first stadium rock concert in the Soviet Union it was so while they say that again the first rock concert in Italy it was this first stadium rock concert so previously to that I think Elton John had been there Billy Joel had been there they were you know great artist and it was the the first breaking down of that wall and then this is the first stadium rock concert Doc McGee the famous band manager of motley crew and Bon Jovi and so many great bands he had to do some custom what is it civic service for something he did was he put on these concerts and this was the biggest and MTV was behind it and it was so cool I I knew I was going to rush I have some friends that did ship salvage that I grew up with one of my best friends Josh and he and I have been through thick and thin since we were 14 and he was Nino doing this stuff going back and forth and also why I like to do that they needed some photographs and so this big deals on the table to do a joint venture with the ministry of fisheries and so you been Russia while it was still the USSR so I went over there but I called Doc McGee's office before I left I was in a Playboy photographer yet I don't know what inspired me to do these kinds of things where just like you I'd like to talk to Dr. McGee that I got his you know his people I said look him to be in Russia love to shoot this concert I'm Rick Moore work with Playboy as an assistant in there like okay fine when you get there you know come by and see us thinking I would never get there so I got there and because we are working with the ministry of fisheries we were able to stay in this one it was like a mini mall of Western good send an activity what euros is against 1989 nine and an average Russian could not walk in there and no rock stars were allowed to stay they stayed at this scary hotel that was built by Stalin they looks really scary but they got to come over and eat and so it was called the measures that are denied and it was built by Armand Hammer and it was a yelp review on that right now no man I don't know but back then it was like I was the only four-star anything there and so the concert yet I was doing my stuff which is a whole other wild set of adventures and crazy some of while this things I've ever experienced but the concert happened so I go over to that hotel Hamrick more like to pick up my press pass we've never heard of you you're not a known concert photographer you know no and so I was like wow that sucks so I knew that the hard rock was doing a barbecue for the rock star to have dorky park okay so I went over there Bon Jovi and Ricky Sambora were walking out I walked up to them John can I have a word with you yes yeah you look I'm Rick Moore I want to shoot this concert contacted Doc McGee before I left but I really think back I really need to get get get a pass and he looks at Richie's and boarding checkbooks were not really in charge of that and they wash away so that was I thought okay that's it it's over so I was in one of these are even asked for an autograph and you know I really wanted to find been in Russia by that time for a few weeks and the smell of an American hamburger at that time I mean I was definitely an omnivore at that point I wanted a hamburger so bad I didn't dare ask but that's what I should have asked about what you know in opener but anyway I go back and I'm I'm sulking at the this mini mall place in one of the bars talking to Russian guy everyone in this bar like there was a senator and that bars a small place everyone was, something interesting so Doc McGee walks in and I kind of knew who he was when he walked in and he just walked up to every single person in the bar asking who they were and what they were doing their while and file I I didn't jump out it I waited to my old yellow all the table he goes who are you and what are you doing here I symbol my names Rick Moore I'm a photographer I contacted your office for a press pass I went to the hotel and they didn't have one for me goes go there tomorrow I was there tomorrow and there were my press passes fans has believable heading days with a concert to okay and it was the stadium was ringed by armored vehicles in the middle of the of the floor part there were solid lines of Army officers and she guys in the Army like at attention the entire concert they didn't know what to expect and so explain the I guess I'm just coming long time ago but this is the first time that they allowed yes American rock musicians and what they think it was a great riot in what way I dated know what to expect there were also Russian rock bands Gorky Park but it was Cinderella skid row motley crew Bon Jovi Ozzy Osbourne scorpions lesbians and you know that concert video winds of change if they mention and enhance the flower in the gun barrel I was walking behind the scorpions just they were doing their thing I would I had my camera out I'm not a paparazzi I wouldn't trying to bother them but there was a Russian army guy holding his gun and he had a flower in the barrel that's where that came from I shot the guy with the gun in the flower oligopoly and they re-created it they became really good friends that's your picture note not my picture we I shot the picture and I have that they were inspired to put that from seeing that in their video they re-created it and they became and still are friends with what was that presidents name of Russia yet Gorbachev they became friends with Gorbachev yeah name they mentioned that down Gorky Park in the very beginning that song with the change yeah I was walking right behind yeah yeah remember that while that is that that is a is an awesome story wow was it like that okay so what what part of what time a year was this concert summer there was it was in August like I think August 10 relies it's too that's two months before the Berlin wall comes down right so here they are right for all that out like all that was brewing okay I was wondering to see I'm not a journalist I'm not a photojournalist but I mean it was stirring in me like should I hop over to Germany right now but I I didn't I just you know that I was honored kind of an assignment I finished my assignment but they just had some crazy times remember in Hunt for red October and the secret Soviet subbase in Murmansk right it's not a secret Soviet subbase and I was in Murmansk and it's a huge channel and we were looking at these possible sites for this ship salvage yard and it was a dairy, beer and we had a like a handler that's probably KGB guy and I have my camera and there is a Russian nuclear submarine going down the channel and you said you know see that you can take photographs of this way will not take photographs that you know the thing is I was on a Navy base as well I was in Quincy class World War II submarine shooting the insides are possible scraps and same kind of thing I was just so happy that they trusted me to be there it's like the last thing I wanted to do even though they'd never see the film but I just you know that integrity I didn't want to be causing any I've so happy to be there you know and everything but at the dairy commune they were so proud of their milk you know and it was like fresh out of the cow and I know that's really healthy but I really haven't had it in my buddy Brian is a prankster so they bring out this you note these friend I made fresh out of the cow their warm there's a lot of stuff look around and there's so out of it and the looks on their face and right goes I don't drink milk but my friend Rick does love so I just take it like a tequila shot as you move down the hatch look Rick like it so much he would like another that is awesome fresh fish meal got I have had personal get no it's not but it's just you know I would try for it to Braum's yeah exactly and say that I just think of Woody Harrelson in that movie oh how we don't have a cow we had a whole is attacking. Yeah that's good stuff so you went to Russia did you goad on any other is nothing that's kinda crazy considering the time you went to the USSR when they really were pivoting for survival just before they not breaking up what was it like to go there it Hail Mary it was an amazing time at all on the on the assignment that I was on for the ship salvage company we went to Estonia and Estonia was one of the Baltic republics it was breaking away like the USSR was breaking in that time and so I shot photographs of the scrap place and it was it was great because there were these really nice women operators in the crane's you know lifting the scrap up with magnets and everything so I shut their photographs was back in Moscow it's like you're running into people all the time of you know just unbelievable opportunities and sups are rented to somebody from time ask where I'd been I told him to gears please give me all that film and so they because Estonia was breaking away he wanted to see if I have anything that they could run unfortunately they wanted kind of protest in the street and I had been in the scrapyard so II nothing ran of mine and that but it was Rand you know all my film got ran for free at the time lab that gets back into the new sensationalism time has to sell so they need drama like Estonia breaking away and there's a woman doing hello protesting two blocks away when I left Alice a friend of mine at one of the the commercial equipment houses said look Rick there are things you really need to not do while you're there I know you know your background in Playboy don't shoot any like cityscape shots of the whole city that's prohibited don't shoot any nudes here this whole list for me to not do and don't bring any money back I successfully did all of those things I shop that I wasn't to it just happened so I was in Estonia I ran into a whole group and I shot some Knudsen I was shooting the hell I mean I realize that you spent 20 years shooting nude so it's no big deal to you but I mean so I was Eric and I were traveling we bumped into a group ever got naked some group that I shot some you know it's interesting it is at that time it was the first and I what like in asking how I got my break for Playboy what I was an assistant I got to know some the editors and so is always pitching staff hey I'm going to rush you guys need anything you know maybe and so one of the editors said litmus is top-secret were doing the first ever pictorial of the women of Russia and tested first and add I don't mean that in a funny way like a Cheech and Chong away but like you might be able to help me out so call me when you're there so I met the photographer who was a fashion photographer shooting this I saw his film which was very blue and he said well it is my style I like people to look dead and so I called the editor is like Jeff he likes people to look dead I'm here I could man I could shoot this I saw the models models are rate like no Rick this has to be done by a Russian photographer but I need you to help them to talk to them I want you to talk to him we need to get the skin tones back on track he handled that a guess I need you to bring some of this film back the skin tones back on track we need to look live live Greyhound stand so I smuggled back half the pictorial and it was so I had a friend in Venezuela that was half Russian his mom was Spanish his father's Russian is born Venezuela she had moved to the Soviet Union for all this new big stuff if you traded in rubles at the bank it was like eight rubles to a dollar and things were expensive if you traded them on the black market it was like 50 rubles to a dollar it was an amazing difference and so at the end of this I had all these rubles so when I went to go through customs I kept a few for souvenirs and I handed the guy like a tremendous amount of rubles so my film had no problem no had to alter his Tigre here have said that's only look at the pictures Brian was more worldly than I and we were trying to get into restaurants to eat because of the stuff we are eating was all like salad and Vorster.I do know anyway we can get into this restaurant so Brian also grew up on the border I grew up in like Oklahoma and the border of Mexico and Texas those two places just back and forth and so is called more diva and he put some money in the palm of his hand and he shook the guys hand that was outside of the restaurant all let me show you to your table we walk in there's no one in the restaurant so we learned that's how it operated everything you wanted to do was possible with money in your hand and after that you know the world was our oyster everything everything opened up towards your life that did you take any other comparable overseas trips where you felt like you you are on alert for how you interacted with locals the government like you did Russia you know what I get pulled over once in a while I was my mama took on a trip up to Oklahoma and it was you know that was tough and I'm getting her back she's been nine hours in the truck you know and she's only doing this because of her trust for me she's never her memory of my brother and I have never every day she calls me Ricardo that's my name and she's like Ricardo you like your name I gave you that day and we have this conversation does not every day and so her trust in me and in my brother is absolute so I'm driving or the sole way we get 10 minutes from the house I get pulled over and the guy comes up and I rolled down my window like officer I know is going 55 and he goes so well one year license plate lights as I said really because I have this checked you might fight it out and look at it I go around to look at their both on hobo officer there both on just why couldn't see it from 250 feet I said will you have to take that up with Chevrolet I don't make the truck I just drive it and he gets let me just go ahead and run your license so then I that's they're saying you coming back from coming back from Oklahoma and when he didn't he just pulled me over to run my tags your license so after he gets out I said look I know you're under pressure to do this I just want to tell you that I've been in a police state I've been in the USSR when it was USSR I've been stared down by a police officer on literally when he said the son who's going to blink first. I mean it's a stair for a long time just looking at you see and what you're gonna do because they can do it and I said this is the United States I value the freedoms here and you're better than this you need to go back to your commanding officer and tell him about this you don't just pull people over because you want to run their tax now that's happened to me a few times and I give them the same speech and they always get rid of me quickly like I'm not the guy they really because I can keep going on about this and it's important to me as it happened it happened it's happened three times once I was driving a van going from South Texas to Oklahoma and up like somewhere around Austin Highway Patrol literally turned around came over and pulled me over because the van because it's Nash this is when they could take your vehicle if you had anything any like a seed in it anything they could take it so I guess you know what its national drug day I'd like to search your van I said you know what go ahead so as he starts searching I give him this whole spiel on what it's like to be in the USSR crushed the captains chair is okay but like my mom was like that you know for her being asked for her Social Security number was criminal because in her generation they were promised that Americans would always be individuals you would never be a number this would never be used as identification and that's what it is that and generations later oh here's my Social Security number you know your number were held hostage to two minute that goes for a pretty good price on the dark web etc. because people can use it to gain access to your credit etc., while downturn event like that is oh I thought you're going to go into a lifelike commercial thought that maybe I have anything and my brother has my brother found did you just take each other's note my brother my brother found the person that stole his identity and so I thought you know what I can do that too so I found a the guy that took my and as you you know it was it was somebody I'd met somebody that I had a house on lovers Lane where I had a studio had roommates he had grabbed my mail and I backtracked and somebody like American Express called me and said Mr. Moore the card that was canceled for identity theft is trying to be reopened and so I proved that I was a real Rick Moore I said can you tell me the phone number this person's call and he did and which was really cool on his part I went to that office with stick boy and I said somebody here did identity theft on me at this office so I didn't find who it was because there were 30 extensions but I have it gave me a clue so with those clues you know is able to kind of start putting together I turned it into you know that the Dallas police I don't know if anything happened but I ran into a homicide officer that help me on some of this and he said he had identity theft and even I was a police officer they to do anything about it while does it make any sense either yeah but I see this being some sort of WGN new series I'm Rick Moore but when the cops really like to settle you out on top of being a pilot comedian you now can can reverse engineering find is still in your identity I'm only student pilot and you get because anything I do are very careful about like I didn't say I was a Playboy photographer until after Playboy sent me a card saying I was a Playboy photographer and that assistant and stagnate stabbing the back he assisted me like 10 times and started telling people is a playboy photographer so that kind of thing irks me so and being a pilot you know that I started to do it as a hobby it is super entailed I mean navigation all the things you have to cut just operating the radio sure it's very intense and so I I get going on it and then I get into another project like Redbud medical MJ and then I have to kinda shut down the pilot thing but I as we had discussed earlier right I bought a small airplane I got a really good deal on it and so it's kinda throwing my hat over the wall like I bought a camera before as a Playboy photographer but I had every intention of becoming a Playboy photographer so awesome I have an idea that I would like to up the ante on the on the prize okay so if we get a photograph of anybody going to read but medical injury should you picture with Christie with corn nuts hornets you will get a free bottle of CBD nice open give you a free bottle of trying to okay and then did you happen to be in the process of going through a destination wedding Rick Moore will fly you to your destination he will then shoot the wedding as the wedding photographer you will see the pre-dance tell a few jokes because you did do the comedy class and then during which it probably will have to be like an Orthodox type long ceremony you will at least try to solve any unresolved crimes of either wedding card according to my availability so there is a prize making you go to read but the picture now you wanted to talk about comedy Court company company right here know it all went well this is me a quick yet improv classes yes so I want Rick's feedback here we got about three minutes to run through this great little thing but I ran across a study and basically a new survey presented by water quality and health Council found that 51% of Americans reported using a swimming pool is a communal bathtub during summertime and they you know I was a lifeguard I know this all comes. Even though 64% of Americans know that pool chemicals do not eliminate the need for shower date is doing anyway and the fact that day year and will actually deactivate the chlorine it's in there and deactivate it yeah does sign in and I was even more awesome is that 48% of adults admitted to yet still painful so it just that 90 I will drink alcohol to flow down the Guadalupe Guadalupe Raritan everybody said you like nobody's gotten out. Our feet per second is going up because the waters right is urinating PS so the last part of this it led me to find this Yale study and they know I'm sorry there's a twitter there was a twitter question they came out by guy named Connor Arp well and it just simply said do you wash your legs when you take a shower and so I got over 3000 likes and over 800,000 respondents which is a lot I think for a Twitter question and essentially it got me thinking that a lot of people don't intimately think don't think about what they still do or hold is probably the last thing an American adult has a is a period of intimacy on you know how you shower not really thinking about what it is that other people are doing when they shower because you don't you'll see people in the shower so do you wash your legs when you shower I mean I think I do not use soap and I'd I scrub but then it is they had some other questions on there like do you ever shave and shower if you're done it right that's the only way I shave okay and I have a tough beard with soft skin sure so I use my plate like there was one Playboy editor that was really nice to me Kevin he's the one that gave me the Hawaiian Tropic assignment which was because Rick when people think of you as a Playboy photographer this is what they think of me having drinks by the pool with 120 models you know and so it was as she it's an oil's real small bottle and just put you know it it's so good in the shower that is the best that well II saving showers is convenient and it takes all the whiskers off whenever I trim around it just makes it that much easier data well Rick I really appreciate you coming on the show today and it is read by medical NJ dispensary in Oklahoma City the Josh of some trades I love it and goes… Yours forever if every wash in your store in Jill's Bonnet with this, trying to absolutely absolutely yes but other than that no discounts can I just do a shout out to Jay Shanker who was a young attorney that we were hailing the same cab in Moscow he turned out to be from Oklahoma entertainment attorney from TV and he's helping me with the show oh well yeah also 30 years later that's awesome that's awesome Jay shut up you can't like that was a great show Rick some time to do this that was about 12 This is the only 24 hour take anywhere platforms dedicated to food and fun clear spoony and now I found from Geico motorcycle it took 15 minutes to take a spirit animal quiz online please be the cheetah please be the cheetah and learn your animal isn't the cheetah but before less appealing blog fish come on let insult to injury you could've used those 15 blood fish minutes to switch your motorcycle insurance to Geico Geico 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on motorcycle insurance
