Nicky Rod, widely known as the Black Belt Slayer, hail’s from New Jersey, the land of pizza & biceps. He is a two time ADCC silver medalist, an EBI absolute world champion, as well as the world's most beautiful grappler.

Have Robert back on and let HIM TALK
Rankings after this episode: 1. Nicky Rod 2. Jay Rod 3. Deagle 4. The rest of B Team 5. Ethan and Damian
Constantly interrupting your guest comes off as uber condescending and arrogant. Let the man speak.
Rob talking earnestly about his favourite philosopher and Nicky Rod looking absolutely bewildered then Damien throws to a plug for violent hippie. Priceless 😂

Fr Damien and Ethan is pissing me off in this one. Almost slapped the table at 1:22:12 because I was just interested to hear the rest of the story and they stop it with the notepad shit. So disrespectful to the guest. Big shoutout to Nicky who never interrupts and even asks the guest to continue the story.

soooooooo frustrating
Absolutely incredible interviewing skills. Adhd and autism is a hell of a mix. 😂
Rankings: #1 Nicky Rod because he actually listens without constantly interrupting, jesus Damien was so annoying in this one lol. 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
Robs a great guest super intresting guy. Ethan and Damien need to become more like the Rod
Could you guys implement a number displaying at the bottom of how many times you guys interrupt? I think it would be funny and it would also make you guys better podcasters, by being cognizant of interrupting.
Ethan and Damien love to ruin a story😂
The plot thickens
Nicky rod should teach ethan and damian how to behave
Deagle has so much interesting shit to say.. the interruptions are intense .. 😢

I actually think it makes it funnier to listen back to. A part of the charm to me is the dichotomies of the personalities in this podcast haha
Best pod so far. Have Robert back on! Interesting and funny guy. Saw that imanari break he talked about and he was right that shit was nasty
I think we need a part 2 with Degeal
Roberts such a funny and insightful guest. Great storyteller but you gotta let him talk man. Damian just shouting "who the fuck wrote this" on some notepad and derailing the story of where Eddie went after DDS which everyone wants to know was so lame.

That was it for me. Beyond frustrating. Shoutout to Nicky Rod who acts like a man and not a silly child
You guys definitely have a horrible impulse control. I would hate to watch a movie with this crew. I still enjoyed the podcast look forward to the next.
Ethan: rank us all 1. Nicky Ryan 2. Jay Rod 3. Nicky Rod 4. Damien 5. Ethan And this is ranked in terms of most fun to listen to, to least fun. I will mention that Ethan would be fine if he get off the caffeine that spikes his ADHD.
Krishna Mirjah my professor for over a decade, yes taught us all leglocks along with Eddie years before the popularity
Still hoping that one day we get a Netflix style Doc/Mini Series about the fall of DDS. It will never happen but its still a hope.
“Something like that..” - Damien, after singing almost the entire song word for word. 😂
Would be so dope if you guys got Eddie to make an appearance
You can tell DDS dredges up a lot for this group. Rob is a very interesting and cool guy.
1:24:15 is the moment yall came for but it's gone :(

They Edited it out but watched this 2 days ago. Something about how Danaher would be abusive towards uke's. Something about smacking Eddie Cummings while teaching 😔
Ethan and Damian were really really bad in this one. I think I noticed more because I really wanted to hear Rob finish his stories. I know you guys want to keep the vibe of just shooting the shit but just let whoever is talking talk, holy shit!
Favourite pod so far, Degle is the man
Finally boys, I was waiting to get my fix of simple men, talkin simple things.
Excellent podcast. I might be one of the few people who equally appreciates Rob's love of Wittgenstein and also the humor of the Simple Men. Also bonus points for Eddie Cummings lore.
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

Thanks man! Yeah, I tell people you can definitely make a living from Jiu jitsu on par with many other fairly reasonable careers. It is unlikely you will become rich but that's also true in most other career choices as well.

Class act by the Rod
Why does everyone talk about Eddie Cummings but no one ever mentions Reilly Bodycomb???!!! Dude was pre Eddie. I remember him crushing people back in 2009. First guy to really drink the Dean Lister Kool-aid. Just saying that dude deserves some recognition.

you dont need to interrupt the guest so much, why invite someone if you keep cutting them off.. interesting stories and cutting in was frustrating tbh. let the guest talk
Great guest 💯
Super entertaining pod
Rob should be canonized for the patience and the derailing he's endured throughout this podcast.
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.
Gotta rank Damien bottom tier because of his delusions of getting an adcc 2024 invite without doing trials

Don't ever let Damien sing country.
We need more rob!!
Livestream was wild!!!
Ethan and Damien love the sound of their voice in this one lol
One day we need the full uncensored story of what actually happened at DDS. To vague, let us in
Jesus. He can’t even get a sentence out
Double purple!
If I had to rank u guys I’d say you’re all #2s

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
I remember my English teacher telling us that we dont know an America in peace time,, i graduated in 2015 still waiting to see what that peace time is like
Get Eddie on the podcast!
Why it’s not in Spotify
When Ethan started breaking down the gender of the goat 😂😂😂
despite ending DDS, they still follow johns rules. they dont want to expose all the details
‘Heartburn is not stomach’ but yet they are vaccines specialists, classic
Let the man talk .

Interruption Level 9000

Damien seriously ruined this entire episode
Ciggy Rod

This was hard to listen guys. Too much sidetracking. And when the guest is talking, looking at the phone is not cool unless you have to find some shit related to the convo. Awesome guest however
Guys when do they talk about the dds breakup?
no mention of LI MMA at all
