New Orleans comic Blake Ybarzabal talks about his discharge from the Marines. His experience with botany. His stand-up comedy experiments, where he treats each joke as having hundreds of variables to test, scientifically, starting with his nose ring. Eric jokes about wanting a Ukrainian bride, and how to work the system to make that happen for you. Very distasteful jokes about the practical uses of Krav Maga. Warning!
