Show Notes

Chance’s Departure and New Role: Chance, a co-host, announces that this is his last episode for a while as he steps back from the podcast to focus on the growing school. He plans to change his role to a “social media hack” or “heckler” on platforms like Threads.

Phillip Bulloch joins as Co-host: Phillip Bulloch will be taking Chance’s place as co-host starting next week. The hosts believe Philip will be a better co-host and has “better ink” [⁠02:33⁠]. Podcast Website in the Works: Peter Carroll is creating a website for the podcast that will link to all episodes and potentially sell “Legends” and “Renzo” gear.

School Developments and Combat Classes: The school has a new schedule with both maps running from 4 to 9. Combat classes are held in the back area, focusing on both stand-up fighting with weapons and grappling.

Jiu-Jitsu Discussion: The hosts discuss the evolution of Jiu-Jitsu, noting a shift from street self-defense techniques to skills geared towards beating other Jiu-Jitsu practitioners in tournaments. They ponder whether advanced Jiu-Jitsu skills are less useful in a real street fight compared to white to blue belt techniques.

Discussion on Veterans and VA Disability: The hosts strongly encourage veterans to file for VA disability, emphasizing that it’s not taking money from anyone else but is a rightful benefit for their service.

Societal Issues and Freedom of Speech: The conversation shifts to a discussion about societal issues, including social media arguments, the media’s influence, and the concept that “freedom is messy” implying that with freedom comes the messiness of unfiltered expression.

Parenting an Adult Child: Jimmy shares challenges in raising an 18-year-old adult child still living at home, emphasizing the shift from parenting to mentoring and treating them like a tenant.

Observations at a Gym and Sexualization of Culture: The hosts discuss observations at a gym, particularly the inappropriate attire of very young girls, leading to a broader discussion about the hypersexualization of culture and its connection to issues like human trafficking.

Consumerism and the Concept of “Lack”: The conversation delves into consumerism and the psychological concept of “lack,” suggesting that society often convinces people that something is missing, and external possessions or experiences will make them “whole.”

Chance’s Last Name Misspelling: The podcast’s editor, Gemini AI, misspelled Chance’s last name (Burleson) as “Burelson,” which is brought up and corrected.
