Full podcast episode: th-cam.com/video/hLZ6PACCBy8/w-d-xo.html Lex Fridman podcast channel: th-cam.com/users/lexfridman Guest bio: Craig Jones, Nicky Rod and Nicky Ryan, together with Ethan Crelinsten are founders of the B-Team, a legendary jiu jitsu team based in Austin, TX.
Craig generally epitomises the Australian approach to life in general. Bring it when you have to, don't take it to seriously. Even more refreshing, he resists banging on and on about his Jui Jitsu as though its the pinnacle of human accomplishment or some great spiritual awakening. And he's right, outside of BJJ enthusiasts, nobody really GAF. Even pro level ping pong players earn more than Roger Gracie or Gordan Ryan. Speaks volumes.
Lex is right, the fear isn't about losing, it's about embarrassing yourself. And this fear gets bigger and bigger when you change belts. If you're a white belt you're supposed to make mistakes, if you're a brown belt you really don't want to embarrass yourself being manhandled by another man in front of everyone as your jiu-jitsu is nothing. I think this is one of the main reasons many people compete in white belts a lot and less in the coloured belts, along with injuries and life's commitments. It is also a key factor in blue belt imposter syndrome

I agree totally..
Nicky talks exactly like Gordon and John. All his responses are so measured.
I think craig gas the best approach, he has the most fun and suffers the least. He isnt too affected by the highs and lows of winning and losing
When the dog dies in "I am Legend", man it got me.

I think Craig would benefit greatly if he just stayed off his phone for ADCC.
His bank account wouldn’t benefit at all
"Heroin's gotta be better" 😂
Craig jones is such a great shit talker, so entertaining
Lex on an up note
I wonder if lex is in a high chair.
Lex was spot on about human existence.
The odds of Nicky Rod never having cried are close to the odds of him never having touched a steroid.
Typical Aussie!! Laughs and jokes until game time then they’ll rip your face off😂
Craig Jones is based
Winning a fight is better than any drug
Fire your drug dealer
You’ve never won a fight. Also, get better drugs
Hes never been in a fight.
@Roy Batty I've had 5 amateur boxing and muay Thai fights... but whatever bro
@john sudeog I've had 5 amateur boxing fights, official weigh in and crowd. One day you might be have enough to fight as well, good luck
Damn I thought one of things Craig won’t do is win 1st place
be number 1
Oh poor Lex and his nihilism.
He seems like the opposite of nihilism
You don't have to feel like you embarrassed yourself, that's what Joe Rogan and Michael Malice are there for, Lex.🤣
DDS-BTeam 😘
This is awkward
Man Lex is weird.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
