Nicky Ryan : Answers are logical and thought out Nicky Rod: Answers sound like a post fight interview Craig: Answers are complete bullshit. Awesome combination of guys.
Nicky Ryan answers are thought out and logical??? Nicky can’t even spell logical the kid is not very bright and it’s clear he has an 8th grade education
Weak minded at its peak. Imagine the type of ego a person has to have to even say those words. I just coached a FRESHMAN to the 195lb finals in 4A state of Iowa legit competition. Dude he lost 9 matches this year NINEEEE matches bro.. he kept coming hard and showing up and made it to the state finals. You weak men make me sick.
Wow. Nicky is like everything Gordon could be. Humble, honest, respectable, and genuine. I hope he has as much success in competition as he does in character.
tbh he’s just a pretty regular australian dude. it’s natural for us to not care about status also deflating pretty much everything of seriousness hahaha.
This made me a HUGE Craig Jones fan. He's actually a thoughtful, intelligent, and self-aware guy. He comes across as a bit of a silly Aussie, but he's actually an great athlete and a good representative of Martial Arts. Much respect Lex and the B-Team!
Valid point thought lol. I got stuck in the mountains full of snow without any source of power and connection to the world, I realized that all my knowledge of tech, cybersecurity and finance is worthless in the world of pure physical survival.
Unexpectedly , I think this was my favorite episode so far. That comment from Nicky Rod about AI was hilarious. He's like a character out of Dungeons & Dragons come to life :D
I think Nicky Ryan would be cool to have on as a solo guest. He dropped some gems in here but was not really involved otherwise. Awesome podcast as always Lex! Hope to have coffee soon!
You legend Lex! I’ve been secretly wanting this and that stars have aligned. Havent even started watching it yet, just know it’ll be a banger! Thank you
I got lucky enough to train with Nicky Rod when he came down to Charleston SC. Had a blast rolling with the guy and he was nice enough to answer questions I had afterwards. Surprised at how nice this dude was, big fan :D
@@TopFearless certainly not the people in his circle 😂 lex, jbp, and huberman are all widely disregarded in their fields besides jbp until he got famous. PhDs don't make you special.
@@anthonyp3113 having a research position at the no.1 university in the world makes you special tho. Lex is incredibly smart, I think you know that urself
Iirc in one the more recent B-Team videos, Jay says that Nicky would be great at streaming on something like Twitch. Iirc in his words, all Nicky has to do is hit record and be himself while playing.
Nicky Rod, matter-of-factly: "My second week of jiu jitsu I started competing and had pretty good success... I was subbing a few black belts and beating everbody..." wow!
Craig Jones is inspirational. No warm-ups, no preparation for competition, not sure he actually goes to the gym, stops training when he gets a bit tired
The most subtle one is Craig saying about himself "Loved by the fans, hated by the friends"...or the people close to you, if you will. That smile felt like he wasn't speaking only about himself :)))))
@@bjjpenguin Either way why you in the comments shitting on B-Team and defending Gordon like you're his girlfriend 😂 You strike me as one of those guys that puts 'bjj' in ALL of his bios but only took a free trial class
Whatever happened in the jungle must have been really bad.. for a brother to literally leave and be part of a team against his own brother and sit there while his teammates make fun of his brother 🫣
I think Gordon’s GF rubbed the team the wrong way. I mean it’s what I’ve been told. They said to Gordon their issue with her. Course I don’t know, it’s just what people around them say. His girl (sunny) always seemed nice enough to me, tho very quiet. But I wasn’t around her much. So I likely just didn’t see it.
My Favorite moments: 8:25 The heroin analogy 9:46 When craig whispers low energy at 10:06 14:05 When Nicky Rod asks about the sun, followed by him saying he doesn't get tired 45:31 Tapping 48:09 Not running it back 1:00:04 Craig roasting Nicky Ryan 1:21:55 Never actually died on the mat 1:58:08 Nicky Ryan's collapsed lung story 2:05:26 Just wiggle 2:14:31 That Guy's fucking good 2:29:45 What was the question 2:34:48 Oil checking a bear 2:35:26 Nicky Rod fighting a kangaroo 2:48:50 Nicky Rod's response to AI
Nicky seems like such a sweet kid - Looking out for that book when it comes out - can't think of what caused him and his brother to fall out but I hope they reconcile.
I love how this podcast covers such a wide range of topics and how Lex approaches each conversation with respect and curiosity. Keep up the great work!
fantastic. the juxtaposition between lex's demeanor and the goofiness of these guys it's just so great. I relate to the b team and find lex very confusing because I am also a huge goofball. Anyone have any other episodes similar to this? I am not a well versed lex-listener, for what it's worth.
As an Aussie its interesting listening to Craig talk to Russians and Americans about glory because it literally does not factor into our culture. Craig is pursuing our highest value which is being funny. That's not even a joke. If your funny your a legend, if your taking yourself seriously your a joke. Hence glory is not something we even think about.
You guys are hilarious! I busted out laughing a couple of times. You can feel the brotherhood between you all that comes with mutual respect and the martial artists' minds. 💪🧠 Good luck, fellas! I hope to see a match in person one day! 🤓
1:19:55 I like how Craig described Volk as unbreakable and you can tell by the way he talks about him Volks drive and work ethic and will power is what earns him #1 P4p. True inspiration that man
No amount of losses would make me decide to not have Nicky Ryan as my coach or make me not join the Bteam bjj school. The man has trained with the best of the best, period.
Lex, you have gained a new listener, big deal right? I am half way through watching this and your intellect is astounding. I did my 15 mins of research on you and can see why. It is incredibly entertaining watching you tutor three huge egos in the fashion you did. Well done Sir, from a new listener.
Thank you for asking about NRod being a brown belt. I'd say he probably has black belt knowledge by now. It's an ongoing debate with a few guys in my gym.
This is the first time I’ve ever finished an entire episode. I was hooked from the beginning! I would like to point out that Nicky Rod definitely is more than meets the eye. I think when he got into jiu jitsu, we all thought he was just brute strength and kind of a meat head lol. But listening to him talk about mental reps and his pre-game ritual and how important it is to be consistent in your routine really made me realize that the dude is just a straight up, elite athlete. It’s gonna be awesome to see how good he gets as his training career goes on! Dude, Nicky Ryan. He’s giving a John Danaher-esque vibe. I’m putting my money on his fate being a full time assassin trainer and eventually even surpassing Danaher and the amount of killers he’s produced. And, of course, fuck Craig Jones 😂

You're killing it Lex. Thanks for all you do! Love ya bro!
Lex please don’t let them hurt you😮😢
Lex answer my question please
P
I love the smell of testosterone in the morning.
The fact that Craig is so carefree and isnt a naturally competitive person makes me realise how good he really is.
I always wondered if that attitude is actually held him back from first place. Maybe maybe not
He has to be somewhat competitive, to have achieved what he has
@@Arminsaf2 I wonder the same. Or maybe his carefreeness is actually what makes him a good competitor, who knows.
@@ivanrogic4803 True
@@Arminsaf2 It's what held him back in the second place.
Nicky Ryan : Answers are logical and thought out
Nicky Rod: Answers sound like a post fight interview
Craig: Answers are complete bullshit.
Awesome combination of guys.
Best of all worlds.
Craig is joking
@@Calamity8 🧐 Really? Thanks for clarifying.
Hilarious, especially Nicky 😂
Nicky Ryan answers are thought out and logical??? Nicky can’t even spell logical the kid is not very bright and it’s clear he has an 8th grade education
The way Craig described a street fight gave me chills! "Whoever takes it the furthest the fastest will win"
It’s so true.
Hard to win without eyes yanno
He makes it sound like he got his ass beat in a street fight once probably before his BJJ days haha
@@cuzza4321 you missed the point, i doubt he be alive if he lost that fight
Fr I’m realizing that fighting world champion grapplers is a bad idea
Hearing Nicky talk about hating losing so much that it holds him back from competing was so real to hear.
Weak minded at its peak. Imagine the type of ego a person has to have to even say those words. I just coached a FRESHMAN to the 195lb finals in 4A state of Iowa legit competition. Dude he lost 9 matches this year NINEEEE matches bro.. he kept coming hard and showing up and made it to the state finals. You weak men make me sick.
I felt that!
Craig Jones needs to have a podcast, please!
Coming very soon
I "2nd" this.
@@craigjones8662 good I will be waiting to be onboarded as a guest of course.
I'm pretty sure he takes part in Dan hookers pod but I don't know if he is a host or just a consistent guest.
💯
Wow. Nicky is like everything Gordon could be. Humble, honest, respectable, and genuine. I hope he has as much success in competition as he does in character.
100% agree + he beat some genuinely good people when he was younger. Hope he really fixes his knee issue and gets back on the comp scene
You forgot to write broke 🤣🤣
And seems to be happier
Their brothers and Gordon is best of all time no gi. His brother is smaller less technical. But they are family so let them he
10:15 went clear over your head.
Craig Jones’ charisma is actually insane lol
seriously I can't get enough of the guy 😂
It's all fake, guy is a scumbag IRL
Yea he’s a beauty! Internet stand up technician 😂
He's definitely crazy charismatic. But to be fair hes in a room with 3 pretty awkward dudes 😂
tbh he’s just a pretty regular australian dude. it’s natural for us to not care about status also deflating pretty much everything of seriousness hahaha.
Forget national treasure. Craig Jones is an international treasure.
Protect this man at all costs.
He's our Ambassador to the rest of the world haha
The B-team needs to go and do wayyy more podcasts. They have a sick dynamic and are winning over fans. They can build their brand soooo much bigger.
😮
Your wish has been granted
@@thatguitarguyguy who else did they do? I wanna watch it bro
@@abil3362 I think they are doing episodes bi weekly. Regardless, they at least officially have a podcast now that they will be doing.

I've been watching so much Craig content recently, this podcast is crazy timing.
Bro same ☠️
retweet
same!!
Yooooo same
Me too dawg I have been SPAMMING Craig content 😂 even the podcast from yeaaars ago w Whittaker
This made me a HUGE Craig Jones fan. He's actually a thoughtful, intelligent, and self-aware guy. He comes across as a bit of a silly Aussie, but he's actually an great athlete and a good representative of Martial Arts. Much respect Lex and the B-Team!
Has a psychology degree
Craig is hilarious. In another life i think he could’ve been a comedian.
I think he checked the box in this life haha
Or First Place...
I think that life is this one lol
Do you think he’s cute? (I’m a guy)
Podcast coming soon. Then comedy. Then food truck diaries
Their dynamic is so great to watch, brings entertainment to BJJ it's so good. Craig is actually so funny
BJJ?
@@HolyRoboticCophave a guess
Nicky Rod's response to the AI thing was absolutely hilarious. Such a nicky thing to say
Valid point thought lol. I got stuck in the mountains full of snow without any source of power and connection to the world, I realized that all my knowledge of tech, cybersecurity and finance is worthless in the world of pure physical survival.
The balance lex keeps between three interviewees is brilliant
Solid podcast. B-Team are the real dudes, and Craig is 100% the funniest guy in jiu-jitsu. Really solid insights into a lot of things.
I’m so excited about this interview. I can’t get enough of the Aussie style banter from Craig and his boyz.
Lmao guys like Craig are unbreakable. I love that he doesn't take him self too seriously.
Unexpectedly , I think this was my favorite episode so far. That comment from Nicky Rod about AI was hilarious. He's like a character out of Dungeons & Dragons come to life :D
I think Nicky Ryan would be cool to have on as a solo guest. He dropped some gems in here but was not really involved otherwise. Awesome podcast as always Lex! Hope to have coffee soon!
"I'm not where I will be in a few years from now, but I'm striving to get there."
Me too Nicky Rod... Me too.
I think Lex had the most fun in this episode. Haven’t seen him laugh and crack that many jokes this much 😂😂😂
Yes, seems a bit flirty😂.
But all in good spirit.
I think lex is an absolute dud
2nd best Podcast with the second best grapplers
😂
God Damnnnnnnnnnn. Not even a full day! Good man, great comment!
Was just thinking .... B-Team is the perfect name for this crew 😂
Joe Rogan and Gordon Ryan? ❌️❌️❌️

I like how Nick Rodriguez and Craig are literally polar opposites

B Team has such a cool chemistry, bringing great perspectives to Jiujitsu!
Nicky Rod, matter-of-factly:
"My second week of jiu jitsu I started competing and had pretty good success... I was subbing a few black belts and beating everbody..." wow!
Craig is gonna be a world class BJJ coach one day. He's very good at explaing/talking through techniques and positioning
Definitely! If he sticks at it he might even get a chance to coach some top MMA guys…
Nicky Rod was the highlight. Great episode. Thank you Lex.
I really love the nonchalant world tournament goku-isk vibe Craig puts out while competing
Craig Jones is inspirational. No warm-ups, no preparation for competition, not sure he actually goes to the gym, stops training when he gets a bit tired
And obviously no steroids.
1:01:42 best description of Gordon Ryan I’ve ever heard and they cut everyone’s reaction, never change Craig
Couldn’t snip out that quick Nicky Ryan grin at Rod though, just terrific
The most subtle one is Craig saying about himself "Loved by the fans, hated by the friends"...or the people close to you, if you will. That smile felt like he wasn't speaking only about himself :)))))
You sound salty, like Craig and and Nicky Rod do. 🤣

What nation
@@mazerunner7640 *international treasure
Craig’s banter is world class. This is one of my favorite Lex podcast’s to date 🏆
any video/podcast with Craig is gonna be hilarious
Need you to have them back!! Maybe with Ethan. One of the best pods I’ve seen on your channel keep ‘em coming!
definitely one of lex’s most entertaining episodes thus far. wish it could’ve been longer
Craig is hilarious. And based on the preview all you guys have great chemistry. Can't wait to watch this.
best quote so far
"there's no warm ups in the street", - Craig Jones
I love how involved Lex is in the BJJ sub-community. He is truly a f***king cool guy!
I’m glad Lex got the B-Team on here. Great showing for all 3. I’d like to see each of them on again, solo.
Man I love Ricky Rods mentality. Just go fucking hard all the time.
This has got to be the 2nd best podcast I’ve ever seen
Edit: ah crap someone beat me to it
Crazy seeing you here. Do you train bjj?
I love how different Craig and Nicky's philosophies are to warm ups and prep. It's great to see alternative mindsets at the highest level.
“Nobody beats me Four times” haha! What a legend.
One of the best yt channels out there! Love the BTeam
Craig's instructionals "make z guard great again" "get off my legs gringo" and "power bottom" 😂😂😂
False Reap Accusations is top tier
This is like watching Real Housewives for grapplers and I’m all for it.
Lex this is amazing, I feel like your podcast just lifted Jujitsu to another level. Thank you for getting into the mindset of these assassins.
This is the second best episode I’ve ever seen
The smiles of Lex in this talk are wonderfulness! ☺✊🤭😅
Craig is incredibly funny but the tips he gave here when he got serious are priceless. Constraint based learning, perfect!
Timestamp?.
This is amazing. Loved all these dudes before but even more now. Craig Jones is the 9th wonder of the world lol
where was this Craig Jones 5 years ago, he's absolutely hilarious, he needs to do stand up and have his own podcast ASAP
Lex is about as exciting as milk toast
Whatever happened in the jungle must have been really bad.. for a brother to literally leave and be part of a team against his own brother and sit there while his teammates make fun of his brother 🫣
Seriously im sure he doesnt like it but cant jsut leave now.
I think Gordon’s GF rubbed the team the wrong way.
I mean it’s what I’ve been told. They said to Gordon their issue with her. Course I don’t know, it’s just what people around them say. His girl (sunny) always seemed nice enough to me, tho very quiet.
But I wasn’t around her much. So I likely just didn’t see it.
To sit there and hear people mock your brother and say nothing is completely disgusting.
@@Roberto-nm8sw shuttup you don't know what you're talking about. Stop taking things so seriously
I think I heard somewhere that it had something to do with the death of their father.
Funny to watch these 3 being interviewed by Lex... They look like they're in trouble and being interviewed by the Principal!😂
If Rod ever wins the ADCC every Nick and Nate Diaz fan will instantly be jiujitsu fans! It fits their vibe.
My Favorite moments:
8:25 The heroin analogy

2:35:26 Nicky Rod fighting a kangaroo
2:48:50 Nicky Rod's response to AI
Constant banter is the only way to work super hard. It makes it all more fun.
This podcast was excellent. Lex has been killing it with the podcasts.
Hey Lex! All my favourite people do grappling and I have been practicing for a year. I'm happy to finally relate to a grappling podcast!
Nicky seems like such a sweet kid - Looking out for that book when it comes out - can't think of what caused him and his brother to fall out but I hope they reconcile.

Lex is the champion of men of culture. Keep up the great work lex! Stoked for this episode!
Lmao
fantastic. the juxtaposition between lex's demeanor and the goofiness of these guys it's just so great. I relate to the b team and find lex very confusing because I am also a huge goofball.
Anyone have any other episodes similar to this? I am not a well versed lex-listener, for what it's worth.
Tim Dillon, Mark Normand are a couple good ones where Lex is up against some funny goofy guys.
As an Aussie its interesting listening to Craig talk to Russians and Americans about glory because it literally does not factor into our culture. Craig is pursuing our highest value which is being funny. That's not even a joke. If your funny your a legend, if your taking yourself seriously your a joke. Hence glory is not something we even think about.
Should have asked Nicky Ryan more questions

Lex looking at Nicky Rod like "What does the Chad say?"
TH-cam algo loves this channel. ALWAYS on the auto play playlist

Dude, Nicky Ryan. He’s giving a John Danaher-esque vibe. I’m putting my money on his fate being a full time assassin trainer and eventually even surpassing Danaher and the amount of killers he’s produced.
And, of course, fuck Craig Jones 😂
10 months later, and watching Nicky Rod say "How does the sun run out of energy?" still genuinely kills me 😂
We need a Craig Jones and Theo Von crossover episode.
Man, that would be awesome
Craig! CLA Approach to coaching and learning!! Yes 👍 Thank you. So refreshing to hear this.
love the B team I watch everything they put out. I love their attitude
