    This one’s an absolute must-listen. I sat down with Rick Thomas for a conversation that goes everywhere—in the best way possible. We dive into his rise on social media, the cutting edge of 3D-printed tools, his passion for fundraising, and even some great fishing stories. But the real standout? His deep roots in drag strip racing—a family legacy that goes all the way back to the 1960s. It’s high energy, full of stories, and packed with personality. Two Ricks, one mic—The Rick & Rick Show delivers big time. Don’t miss this one.
