"We've heard it all, seen it all, been through it all": Shari Smith and Robin Brasslett of Modern Image Salon

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, our hosts get the hot salon gossip from Shari Smith and Robin Brasslett of Modern Image. Fighting not to finish each other's sentences, the two share insider secrets on sisterhood, go-to snacks, and the human need to not just look good, but to feel good. Ric got his hair done just for this episode. It looks phenomenal. Sheri and Robin talk about their position as Piscataquis County Business of the Year, and how they were awarded it during their weekly Facebook Live stream. These streams were an invention of COVID, where they would set up livestreams to connect with their clients, because they missed them during lockdown. They explain how their business is built on connections and the strong relationships they have with their clients, over 27 years of business. Ric and Dan try to help write a commercial while Robin talks about Shari, sisterhood, and being bossed around. And soon after, Ric is forced to admit that he and Dan are going to do…. something!

"I just needed to change the way I was doing it": Larry Barker of Machias Savings Bank

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, the boys are joined by Larry Barker, CEO of Machias Savings Bank, to talk about what it means to work, what it means to lead, and the only thing about yourself you can really change: your ethic. Larry Barker was picked straight out of a blueberry field, because of his work ethic. He found his talents in clam flats, meat rooms, and motel halls, and when Ed Hennessey approached him and extended the offer to work at Machias, he had to go home and look up what a 'mortgage' was. A childhood of financial struggle lit the fire under Larry, and he'd been burning ever since— until one day he had to stop and realize the big picture. Suddenly, he was in charge of the bank. Suddenly, he was in charge of his life... now, could he finally slow down?

"It's magic, it really is, and it's never changed": Matt Scott of Dave's World

Ric and Dan and Matt Scott from Dave's World have one drink and start swearing and talking about Phish a whole bunch, underscoring the soul-touching story of the parts of you that stay, the parts of you that you pass along, and the parts of you that you can never shake off again as you grow. We don't lie: drinks get passed around this episode, first thing. Matt recalls how he could only ever do commercials if he was drunk, and as the three begin to discuss psychedelic drugs, Ric reasons that this will be the first episode to require some censor tones. He soon steers the conversation towards the jam band Phish and Matt's dedication to their art. The sounds, the ideals, and the culture around it are embedded in a lot of what Matt does. He is sure to show it: for the next half-hour, Matt talks about childhood, adulthood, being a parent, being alive, helping others, facing the future, and recognizing that even if you've seen something many times before, "it's been different 2,000 times since".
