Eric and close pal Ron Funches discuss their first time doing stand-up and meeting in Portland. Whenever he bombed he would look up Craigslist posting of jobs. The major shift from moving to Salem from Chicago and his first experience with smoking weed. Gym and jiu-jitsu routines are discussed and Ron's experience eating a sucker and being surrounded by senior citizens. They open up about keeping their brains healthy and staying at bay from anxiety. Plus, a bombing story from Japan.
