Hi, I'm Miami Out. And I'm Jonathan Cohen. And welcome to our breakdown. As we kick off the new year, many of us are setting fresh intentions and trying to build momentum and really thinking about what are healthy habits that can take us through 2026. For that express reason, we're going to revisit an episode from 2023 with one of our favorite comedians, Ron Funches. You've probably seen Ron or heard his very distinctive voice in anything from New Girl to Lou to the trolls franchise. Ron was actually the first person on our podcast to talk about the power of vision boards. And my mom actually goes full on vision boarding in 2026. She launched a exclusive sub stack piece on it. And we want to include all of you on the power of vision boards. So this is why we are re recording this episode. Ron is famously has New Year's Eve parties that include vision boarding, helping people set up what their lives might look like in the new year, which sounds like a fantastic way to spend New Year's. We've been waiting for our invitation to one of these vision board New Year's parties at Ron's house for years, but maybe it'll come this year. Also in this episode is a very fun moment where I make Ron laugh hysterically with one of the best burns that he says has happened on this podcast. So check that out if you haven't heard it already. Wait, the burn is of me. That's correct. It's all in good fun. What's also fun is joining us on sub-stack for exclusive content like Mimes Vision Board and the intersection of how science can can actually back up up something like a vision board and prove that it actually helps us create what we want. And now we hope you enjoy taking a look back at our episode with Ron Funches. Break it down. Thank you for having me. Of course, thank you for letting me in your home. I did your podcast like two years ago, I think. I think so. I think three years ago, I was talking about call me cat at the time. And I think our podcast was new. So I appreciated you allowing me to come on and talk about our podcast. Oh. And we're excited to have you here. I have many questions about many things.

Okay.

John, who's there somewhere you would like to start?

I just want to know what's up, man. How you doing? Thank you. Good combo. She comes with a list. I got a good combo. All right. This is a good interrogation. I'm doing well. I'm been doing well. I'm doing well. I'm doing well. Alright.

This is a good interrogation.

I'm doing well. I'm starting a new training program where I'm eating some fun stuff and cooking more for myself. So that's made me feel good. I made a nice grilled salmon before I got here. And so that was, I was like, this is a fun afternoon. Sit sit out on the patio and just eat it after I made it and just made me feel like a real man. And then just been hanging out with my sons, been doing a little bit of touring, but I'm been trying to cut back a bit. I mean, in general, they wouldn't ask what you said how, in general of sleepy, happy, um, happy, somewhat stressed out, uh, and just try and to, um, make it through the strike and get back to work, hopefully soon. Absolutely. Firstly, cooking salmon always increases the value of the day. You know, makes you feel good, like you like you accomplish something. So I understand that. But what's

stressing you out?

Oh, okay, this is I thought about this before I got here. So

it's fun.

He said he didn't have a list.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean, it's how you play the game.

No, no, true good cop.

I thought about this recently. And so it made me both like happy in part of it because it was like, oh, my life's really changed. The number one thing stressing me out right now is in the middle of a divorce. And I love that to just wrap up so I know what my life is going to be like and just so I can feel like I'm not stuck in an old pattern that I'm moving forward that would make me feel so much better. The second thing that is stressing me out in my life right now is that the day in my toilet stops functioning properly and so it doesn't do the self-cleaning function or does it pulsate against my butt currently and it's really and I'm like that like, that's what I bought it for. So it's really stressing me out. And my assistant is on a vacation. So I have to be one take care of it. So it's got a weight till she gets back. And so it's stressing me out a bit because I was like, this is why I bought this. And then I was like, oh, well, beautiful thing. That is my second biggest stressor. My third is just constantly, like just trying to take care of my diet and my health. Make sure, because I got two sons, 20 years apart. And you know, who used to be 360 and then down a lot and then up a little, and whenever I go up a little, it out. So I feel like I'm going to go back to where I want.

So it's like sandwich of like real stressors, but in the middle, just like, okay, beautiful lie. Well, it is annoying when things don't do what they're supposed to do, especially a bidet. So I just want to acknowledge that. Thank you. I appreciate that. It could be a wife. It could be a bidet. Nobody's doing what they're supposed to do in Ron's life.

Yeah, I could do well. There. Nobody's doing what they're supposed to do in Ron's life.

Yeah, I could do, well, there's many dirty jokes

I could make currently, but I will just not pick

the low hanger fruit, but let you think of it.

Well, the first thing I was thinking

when you mentioned your first dresser,

and you're in good company, we're both divorced people.

So you're in safe company. A lot of people before everyone was getting divorced when they heard that I was divorced. I was one of the first people that I knew, you know, in my circle that was a trend. I was a trend. Troubles are in ways. First the flower had been the divorce. Yeah. And you know, I, I, I, like everybody having fun? What can not let a good, that's a solid burn. What I was going to say is I come from a family where like you don't get divorced. You just like suffer in silence until someone dies. Like that's the thing. So that's how you know it's true love. That's how you know it's true love. But for me, I felt like a lot of shame. I felt a lot of shame about it. I didn't know other people getting divorced and then little did I know, you know, the 2000s were going to hit hard and heavy. And then a lot of people started getting divorced. I felt less alone unconsciously coupling. Somewhere unconsciously a couple of. But I just, I guess you also, you got married during COVID. A adorable picture, I have to say. Thank you. It's not a sore spot to bring out the pictures. A masked wedding is where you really rocked it out. Thank you. And you have, you have a tiny one. Like he's one. Is that right? You're 16 months. He's 16 months.
