It's Election Week and in a shocker, we discuss the Election and the potential implications that could arise from it, regardless of who becomes President. We wrap up with a short discussion on Oregon decriminalizing a few Schedule 1 drugs.

In this episode, we have our first guest: 1st Degree Pedro Sauer Black Belt and Pro Wrestling personality Bryan Alvarez. Bryan is Beau and Dan’s BJJ Instructor and a great human. Listen in as we discuss his Jiu Jitsu origin story, philosophy, and favorite grapplers. We also find out that Beau likes to wear his Jiu Jitsu gi and belt at all hours of the day. He is weird like that.

In this episode, we review the new documentary on Netflix titled The Social Dilemma.

We would claim disillusionment after the debates, but our expectations were not high enough to begin with. To follow, Dan and myself decided to head back to some shared roots and discuss more Jiu Jitsu. When in doubt, more Jiu Jitsu is the answer.

Ever wondered who knows more about Diversity Training? Have you thought to yourself: who has a superior knowledge of suburbia? Ever been curious about the ethnic diversity in a suburban soccer van? Are you as confused as Beau about the difference of the words “have” and “need?” Do you give zero fucks about our current Presidential Candidates? If so, this episode is for you! If not, just listen to the Jiu Jitsu one again. It has way more substance.

In this episode, we discuss our shared love of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, specifically Gracie Jiu Jitsu, and how we both found the mat. Additional topics include old school vs new school bjj, comradery, and self-defense vs sport bjj.

In this episode we mostly discuss President Trump’s call for “Patriotic Education,” the hilarity/ridiculousness of such a statement and the importance balancing your world view with both the positive and negative aspects of United States history. Beau ponders an apparent cognitive dissonance he discovered.

The central focus of this episode is Failure. From that North Star, we were able to meander through many avenues and topics but always made our way back. Bottom line: Fail more. And try Jiu-Jitsu. You will thank us later. Beau does not introduce a wacky new theory, for which Dan is silently, yet eternally, grateful.

In this episode we draw from bits of recent news involving both Presidential Nominee Joe Biden and his Vice Presidential pick, Kamala Harris in order to discuss what expectations and responsibilities elected leaders should adhere to and uphold. Is toeing the party line good enough or should we hold our politicians to higher standards? Additionally, we discuss the role compassion plays in how we, as a culture/society, educate our kids, which Beau uses as a framework to articulate another crazy theory involving psychological archetypes.

Welcome! In this, our first podcast, we start a discussion about Personal Responsibility, its importance in developing functional humans and its ominous absence in the modern world. At the end, Beau posits an interesting theory.
