    Taking with Ron with Ron Collins Guest, Terry Gross, better known as Comedian GrossMann In this episode of Talking with Ron, host Ron broadcasts live while traveling to a major comedy event, celebrating the show's milestone of 3 million listeners. This episode explores the deep-rooted philosophy of "family" within the community, highlights charitable advocacy for children and workers, and features a high-energy interview with Comedian Grossman. The Philosophy of the "People's Show" Ron emphasizes that "Talking with Ron" is more than a podcast; it is a movement built on the foundation of "sharing and caring." He defines family not by blood, but by a shared mindset and mutual support, noting that strangers often provide more encouragement than relatives. He shares a touching example of families from London and Chicago who connected via the show and are now planning a meetup. Ron also touches on modern parenting, questioning the "old school" vs. "new age" dynamics of children influencing household decisions, ultimately advocating for a community feel where neighbors help one another. Social Advocacy and Charitable Causes A significant portion of the broadcast is dedicated to the importance of giving back. Ron identifies St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital as the show's primary cause, praising their commitment to treating children free of charge. Furthermore, he issues a heartfelt "hats off" to TSA workers across the United States who continue to work without guaranteed pay during difficult times. He encourages his "family" of listeners to offer small gestures of support, such as a single dollar or a kind word, noting that what seems small to one person can be life-changing for another. Guest Spotlight: Comedian Grossman Despite technical hurdles while traveling through Dallas traffic, Comedian Grossman joins the show to discuss his meteoric rise. He announces two upcoming shows, "Can You Make Me Laugh?" and "So You Think You Funny," set to debut on Amazon and Tubi this May. Grossman also highlights his film work in "Double Cup" and "Dirty Third: The Next Generation." Ron, who has worked with Grossman for years, vouches for his talent and urges the audience to support his "Grossman Uncut" YouTube channel and his Beaumont comedy spot. Growth and Future Operations The show has transitioned from a local program to a nationally syndicated, global platform on the BBS Radio and TV Network. Due to this expansion, Ron is looking to grow his team following the departure of a key staff member, Jennifer. He invites listeners with marketing and advertising experience to join the movement, emphasizing that the show's success belongs to the listeners who "saw the vision and ran with it". This episode serves as a powerful reminder that "Talking with Ron" is a community-driven force. From supporting St. Jude's to celebrating the success of Comedian Grossman, the message remains consistent: "Each one, reach one, teach one." As the show continues its global expansion, the focus remains firmly on the "family" of three million listeners who make the movement possible.

Visit theorganicskincare.com This episode of Talking with Ron celebrates a massive milestone of three million viewers while hosting a special broadcast from the Renaissance Hotel. The show features an in-depth interview with Richard Kuhns regarding Morgellons disease and the launch of a new organic skincare line. Detailed Summary Show Milestones and Community Support Host Ron opens the show by celebrating the achievement of reaching three million viewers and listeners, a milestone he credits entirely to the dedicated online community. Despite a "bumpy" start to the week, Ron emphasizes the "renaissance" of the show, expressing deep gratitude for the staff at the Renaissance Hotel and the manager, Arthur, for their warm hospitality. To celebrate this success, the show is giving away five "Talking with Ron" VIP Visa cards worth $100 each to online participants. Ron also encourages listeners to subscribe to the BBS Radio station for as little as $5.99 to support the production and its various charitable initiatives, such as toy drives. Morgellons Disease: A Quiet Epidemic The core of the episode features guest Richard Kuhns, a chemical engineer who developed a protocol for Morgellons disease after his own struggle with the condition. Morgellons is described as a miserable skin condition involving intense itching, biting sensations, and the growth of unusual filaments or fibers from the skin. Kuhns highlights a significant medical gap: while Lyme disease affects roughly 8.1 per 100,000 people, an estimated 27 per 100,000 are diagnosed with "delusional parasitosis," which he argues is often misdiagnosed Morgellons. He notes that the condition is frequently dismissed by physicians as a mental health issue, leading to severe emotional distress and even suicide among sufferers. Prevalence Comparison (per 100,000) Lyme Disease (8.1) "Delusional" Diagnoses (27.0) Richard Kuhns suggests that many cases labeled as "delusional" are actually unrecognized Morgellons disease, representing a "quiet epidemic" three times larger than Lyme disease. The "King Diet" and Bioform Carbon Technology Kuhns introduced two primary solutions for skin parasites: the "King Diet" and "Bioform Carbon" skincare. The King Diet is a three-stage nutritional protocol that eliminates foods like peas, carrots, and most oils (except butter or rice bran oil) to stop "feeding" the organisms. For external treatment, Kuhns utilizes "liquid carbon"—a surfactant derived from corn, rice, and oats. This six-angstrom molecular structure allows creams to penetrate deep into pores and cells to clean them out. Beyond Morgellons, these "supercharged" organic products are marketed as salon-grade skincare that reduces the need for makeup by clearing blemishes and evening skin tone. Expanded Organic Product Line and Future Ventures The organic line has expanded to include fluoride-free toothpaste (made with baking soda, carbon, and cloves), biodegradable laundry soaps, and even a "Plant Shield" for gardens that remediates pesticides on grass and rose bushes. Kuhns is currently developing a hypoallergenic baby product line for rashes and sensitive skin, which is expected to launch within a few months. Ron also used the platform to announce his own upcoming exclusive candle line, which will focus on high-quality, unique scents rather than mass-market branding. Organic Innovation Ecosystem 🧼 Skincare: Bioform Carbon revitalization creams for deep pore cleansing. 🦷 Oral Care: Fluoride-free "Sweet Water" baking soda toothpaste. 🌿 Agriculture: Liquid carbon "Plant Shield" to remediate soil pesticides. 👶 Future: Hypoallergenic baby rash and shampoo line (In Development). Key Data Audience Reach: 3 million viewers and listeners across all platforms. Prevalence Statistics: 27 out of 100,000 people are diagnosed as "delusional," compared to 8.1 per 100,000 for Lyme disease. ...
