Ric's Corner: Jerry Brainum & Old School Bodybuilding Part 1.
Down at Venice, Jerry returns to Ric's Corner to help answer the question, "Is Bodybuilding Dead?" The short answer - the public has become disillusioned by the quest for more and more size. Bodybuilding began as a way to stay healthy, but has gradually shifted to a culture believing that the right drug combo can get them into the Mr. Olympia. Both recall the old familiar platitudes - diets of protein and heavy cream, gyms sans cardio machines, and all-you-can-eat buffets with Lurch from the Addams Family (maybe not so familiar). Jerry was even called out by Arnold for looking like a wrestler which led him to the first cutting phase of his career.

Ric's Corner: Relationships Between The Sexes Part 1.
In exploring the "tuff n' tender" sides of human nature, hear two different perspectives on why it seems more and more relationships today are headed for trouble. Noella warns men not to try to outdo their female counterparts with the whole hair, skins, and nails bit, but to focus more on the balance with personality. Realistic expectations along with a willingness to compromise when entering a relationship might help too. Opinions on how men and women handle change (not the jingle-in-the-pocket type) might be as varied as how they actually do. Fitness lifestyles can be a good compatibility factor, but watch for potential conflicts. Ric illustrates honesty as an admirable quality in a partner with a light-hearted anecdote of a would-be wife.
