Bear.....all day😃.. The experiment has already been done in the 19th century UK ( baiting) the bigger bone structure destroyed the cats. A long battle, but the bear fucked up the cat with Endurance and Bone structure
John Danaher on supermarkets: "Grocery shopping sits fundamentally on one axis, with pleasure on one end and nutritional utility on the other. Mastering the grocery shopping experience means locating yourself on the correct point of this axis, mastering the balance between purchasing for pleasure and purchasing for nutritional utility". John Danaher on taking a piss: "You must pinpoint the exact threshold where your ability to postpone the piss is surpassed by your bladder's signaling ability that pissing is, indeed, biologically necessary at that moment. Perceiving a lower threshold results in lower yields at the moment of pissing. Mistaking the threshold for a higher one can result in an earlier-than-expected difficulty with piss retention. Where the curves meet exactly is where you should piss."
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
Danaher is such an awesome teacher he quite literally takes the time to explain to the audience what the ADCC is (while maintaining eye contact with the camera the entire time) to make sure noone's out of the loop of the conversation.
5 hours of Lex and John.... My absolute heroes, together with Andrew Huberman and Firas Zahabi. Also, Lex, if you're seeing this, you NEED to bring Firas. Thank you these amazing podcasts.

I love watching two of the most serious people I have ever seen having a "which kind of bear is best" conversation. I bet Danaher knows how many toddlers he can take in a fight with zero margin of error.
its like listening to john makes you smarter no matter what level of knowledge you have on grappling he stay dropping gems everytime he speaks truly a GOAT
I thought the animal fighting was going to be a quick laugh and simple guess but this man broke down every aspect imaginable! Goes to show why he's such a great coach.
I’d like to offer 3 potential gems… 1. You two create a one episode weekly podcast where you two break down careers, historic events, and specific positions in grappling and mma. I assume all of the jiu jitsu community and many mma fans would tune in weekly. 2. You have an episode with John asking questions regarding his step by step advice for building an athlete that is successful at implementing John's systems at the highlest levels with the main premise of the episode being how would John turn Lex fridman into a world champion in jiu jitsu from your current position now 3. You have an episode with John where you question him with questions you'd normally ask an experienced philosopher and maybe give him some time to ponder the questions you're going to ask him because I think the answers would be more systematic than just the a general answer on the spot. I'm in jiu jitsu myself and would love to hear John talk on the subject all day long but at the same time I have a lust to understand how a mind like John Danaher reflects on the chaotic world and it's unanswered questions of life and meaning.
Listening to John Danaher break down Lion vs Bear vs Gorilla was amazing. thank you for making this serious man break down 7 year old "what if" scenarios with animal fights. all the other things you talked about were cool too. thank you Lex
What’s remarkable about lex fridman’s podcasts is how he and his guests make topics that are way out of my league completely and utterly fascinating (and sometimes funny). The animal fighting info was hysterical. LOVE LOVE LOVE this podcast.
I'm just so very grateful to Lex for introducing me to John Danaher. I love everything about him: his voice, his knowledge, his jokes. What an incredible human being! Thanks to this episode I decided to try out BJJ as his passion for the sport is contagious. Again, THANK YOU ❤
Its crazy how this rabbithole never ends .. i believe i started watching JRE with his first episode with snowden - then went on and on and on and on .. now almost religiously watching joe, lex, jordan b peterson, huberman and started doing BJJ a few months back! Iam SO grateful for this journey! Thank you!
I think after more than 700 different people that lex interviewed over the years I got to the conclusion that lex is building the most comprehensive view of the human existence. Each and every single individual he interviews brings a whole new universe in his/hers perspective. the human race or to be more exact homo sapiens are at their final stage of evolution. The thing that will come after our existence would be so beautiful, compassion, loving and caring Its giving me goosebumps all over my skin. That's what this universe deserves. Keep going lex, 300 people to go and then you can finally feed your A.I with all of your knowledge. If this A.I would be the sum of all of these people I have no doubt in my soul that the future is going to be amazing. Thank you lex, with love from Israel.
I love how you can listen to this without any experience of jiu-jitsu and still find it fascinating. His devotion to the sport is un-matched. Without his injuries he would surely have developed to a world champion.
I can’t tell you how much I love Lex writing down the gems from John about why Gordon is Gordon. Settle for nothing less than excellence. Hate imperfections.
I haven't started yet, but oh man im pumped for this one. I just get the sense that they feel magnetized towards each other. Older/younger brother chemistry. Dear friends, I feel bonded to you through Lex.
John's animal fight club analysis is arguably the best strategic and tactical analysis I have heard or read for both human and non-human combat. I wish I could have him in my circle of friends, if not for the BJJ knowledge, then for all other conversational topics 🙌🏻
Best 5+hrs (I rewatched/relistened a lot) I have spent in all my hours listening to "coaches, trainer, teacher, sensei, shihan, etc) . Danaher Sensei is on another level.
I appreciate you doing these types of podcasts, Lex, It's always great getting the chance to listen to Danaher talk about the mental aspects of competition &, of course, his technical breakdowns of combat sports---especially when it comes to grappling. As a martial artist, the wealth of knowledge that you get from these talks is something that you would have had to travel and pay for just a little over a decade ago.
i just love the man in his classy rashguard and unprecedented level of mental clarity and storytelling skills. makes me sooo motivated to roll in my bjj practice tomorrow. lex, this episode is a gift, просто спасибо 🫂
Danaher's answer to the Lion/Bear/Gorilla question was incredible on several levels. Very interesting dude. This was a one of my favorite LF podcasts so far. Thankyou.
It's official, lex is now the goat of this whole podcast scene. He's so diverse between intelligence, sense of humor, well grounded, honest. He beat Rogan out some time ago...but can he beat YMH?
I have attempted to meditate many times in my life and prior to this CD the only success I've experienced is with live guided meditation. ru-vid.comUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq This is the first CD I've used that cuts through my unmedicated ADHD and enables me to truly relax and experience a quiet and energizing interval. The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!
Lex , you should do all of your entertaing podcast late at night like Tim Dillon ...it is like a drug..you were funny and sharp...the comebacks were awesome and u took more risk in the language you used... love this pod...you are amazing brother
I love how John doesn't simply dismiss or give a brief answer to the animal combat question, but engages in a 40 minute in-depth exploration of it's parameters, history, and practice using sound logic to both physical and pragmatic application of how the fights would go down. Fucking legend.
40 minute of BS. NONE of his "parameters" apply to Gorilla or even humans. What a load of horshite. I allready explained it above but he better stick to thongs he actually knows shit about.
Absolutely, 100 percent, the best podcast/conversion I have heard. The honest and sincere way Lex approaches each interview seems to bring out the best in every person he has on. John Danaher is a truly amazing human being. I'm a 53 yr old brown belt, who's been out for a couple of years and John has me ready to move to Austin.... Lex has become my favorite Podcaster! More Danaher please!
What a Great conversation!love it when John looks at the camera as if he were speaking to us audience, and clarify some jiujitsu terms. Feels like he's constantly in teaching mode! love it! Thank you Lex! cheers from Mar del Plata, Argentina!
I can 100% identify with the way Mr. Danaher explained his attraction to knives. And the segment about the animals was also brillant. Just fantastic. Good man, and another great post from Lex. Thank you. Greetz from Germany.
I haven't started yet but will thank you in advance for this interview. I will now spend the rest of my day geeking out over the Yoda of jiu jitsu, the great John Danaher. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone🙏💖🙏
Just a comment on the Tom Hardy section: as an Iraq war combat vet you two hit the nail on the head with the struggles with reintegration, and the similarities between BJJ and military service. Jiu Jitsu was my port in the storm. I never thought I’d find my place again, and always found myself smashing against the proverbial wall, asking myself if the worst time of my life, deployment, was actually also the best time of my life. If I’d ever feel like I was living in a way I could be proud of again. Jiu Jitsu and my training partners gave me that again, and I’m forever grateful. 🤙
Lex is legit one of my favorite podcasters! However this podcast almost felt like John invited Lex to his own podcast. Like Mike Tyson inviting Tom Segura to his own green room. When John explains things to the listeners and looks at the camera is outstanding! It’s like he is saying “hold my beer Lex I’ll take it from here”!
