Ric's Corner: Sweat In Gyms Part 2.
As the conversation continues, it's mutually agreed upon that it's fine to sweat in the gym - for either sex, but, not too much. Ric also shares some little known off-beat facts about wrestlers hygiene plus a bonus about 70's locker room colognes, and Noella about gym born bacterial infections. Turns out gym equipment and wrestling mats can also double as lab experiments in the proper environments.

Ric's Corner: Sweat In Gyms Part 1.

Ric's primary uncensored advice - hand washing to prevent bacteria from spreading, and fast-thinking fist bumps over handshakes (invented for that very purpose). Noella is shocked to hear about water fountain habits, but questions men's perspective of sweaty women.
