Great start with a great guest. Though Ricky could learn much more if he not interrupted so often just for laughs. It seems that he has the curiosity of a scientist, but doesn't have the diligence, he puts all of it into comedy. Anyway, I like the topics you discussed and the vibe of the episode. It's funny how similar Lawrence and Ricky are in a way: one is a scientist with good sense of humour, the other is a comedian with a good sense of science. Almost as mirror fluctuations from the perfect middle.
