That accent got me tripping. It sounds southern red neck, Irish, English, a little new Yorker ...it the most confusing accent I've came across lol! As I was posting, I just heard a little Brooklyn Goodfellaz
I shouldnt be laughing but man that danaher arm break story had me with tears in my eyes, sounds like a fuckin movie scene haha. Jonn cool as a cucumber hahahaha
Imagine, that dude got his arm broken by Danaher in that private lesson *that he paid for*. I was at Renzo's 112 West 27th street NYC academy and took the elevator ride from hell to the floor it was on (3rd, 5th, I can't remember) with Craig Kukuk for my first class. That class turned out to be Kukuk's last--they said he was going out for back surgery, but I later heard other stories--and from then on classes were taught by Matt and Nick Serra, and by Vinny and Mito (I think that's how to spell his name--it was pronounced "me toe"). Renzo stopped in occasionally on Saturdays, which was the no-gi day and the only day I could train there since I lived in Rhode Island and drove the six-plus hour round trip to make it. I remember rolling with him when he was preparing to fight Oleg Taktarov. Those were some fun times, and were the times when knowing BJJ felt like a real superpower because so few people knew it. For instance, I had a friend who was a state wrestling champ in RI, and he used to dominate me on the ground, but after a couple of months of training I would submit him all the time.
Really hope you don’t pull this episode so you can edit out the part talking about where Danaher does something crazy, only to repost the edited episode.
John sounds like a true Autist LOL I can picture him getting impatient in line somewhere and just breaking 17 peoples necks with the classic movie Osotoheadtwistgatami then ordering his meal like nothing happened.
Craig, can i make a suggestion? How hard would it be for you bteam and new wave guys to just burry the hatchet? Or at least try to be civil to each other? I would just love to see John and Gordon in your podcasts talking about everything. You were a team after all.
It’ll probably never happen anywhere in the near future. Maybe when they’re all older men in their 50s. For now, so long as they are young and able for competition, they’ll be at each others throats 😂
he kinda described it there. I think its when you get that high guard and have one calf over the shoulder and trapping their bicep... maybe like "the pitstop on the way to a triangle" (I'm guessing...)
@@levin-jf7qs legit made me crack up. Thinking of my Nordic homies hear Gunnar being claimed as American. Almost all of them have a grandpa named Gunnar lmfao
