Super disrespectful the way he just kept throwing in random, unrelated things, especially after Rob talked about his grandma passing, the thing with the note nobody cares and then while Rob talks about his stomach issues Damien jumps in with random info about the TV show thing.. Ethan was interrupting too but I feel like a lot of it originated from Damien and then Ethan couldn't help himself and joined in lol. PLEASE GUYS LET HIM TALK. Especially the DDS, Danaher stuff was the most interesting and you just kept behaving like 5 year olds

    It was nice to hear Krishna Mirjah's influence on the early leglocking meta discussed. Krishna has been a friend for over 20 years. In the early days, we were watching a lot of Pancrase videos- very leglock-heavy fights. This style had a big impact on Krishna and he developed intricate leglock entries and attacks that evolved into the system Eddie Cummings used to great success. I'm sure he would be happy to discuss his approach to grappling with you guys.

    Kudos to Robert ... and to the crew, for a good interview. Robert ignored the advice of people who loved him, and didn't just follow his heart - but found a way to make a living from it. Following your heart is an easy decision - having the intelligence and agility of thinking to make a good living from it - is another thing entirely. it's not that difficult to become independently wealthy on the Jiu Jitsu landscape, provided you can put in the time (decades) - but it's definitely not for the 'ordinary'. Nice work guys. Cheers

    Great to see a mention of Krishna Mirjah. He really is the grandfather of the modern leglock system. He's a Serra black belt who'd been experimenting with the leglock system since the 90s and helped Eddie develop it. Eddie then enhanced it under Danaher, but Danaher of course took all the credit from everyone.

    Believe it or not, acid reflux is most of the time caused by not having enough stomach acid. You get stuck in a cycle of popping antacids, which neutralizes MORE of your stomach acid, thus giving you more heartburn in the long run. When you have low acid in the stomach, the valve that is supposed to close doesn't close properly, allowing acid to get into your esophagus. Appl cider vinegar is the best cure for heartburn
