      The most subtle one is Craig saying about himself "Loved by the fans, hated by the friends"...or the people close to you, if you will. That smile felt like he wasn't speaking only about himself :)))))

      I think Gordon’s GF rubbed the team the wrong way.
      I mean it’s what I’ve been told. They said to Gordon their issue with her. Course I don’t know, it’s just what people around them say. His girl (sunny) always seemed nice enough to me, tho very quiet.
      But I wasn’t around her much. So I likely just didn’t see it.

    As an Aussie its interesting listening to Craig talk to Russians and Americans about glory because it literally does not factor into our culture. Craig is pursuing our highest value which is being funny. That's not even a joke. If your funny your a legend, if your taking yourself seriously your a joke. Hence glory is not something we even think about.

    This is the first time I’ve ever finished an entire episode. I was hooked from the beginning!
    I would like to point out that Nicky Rod definitely is more than meets the eye. I think when he got into jiu jitsu, we all thought he was just brute strength and kind of a meat head lol. But listening to him talk about mental reps and his pre-game ritual and how important it is to be consistent in your routine really made me realize that the dude is just a straight up, elite athlete. It’s gonna be awesome to see how good he gets as his training career goes on!
    Dude, Nicky Ryan. He’s giving a John Danaher-esque vibe. I’m putting my money on his fate being a full time assassin trainer and eventually even surpassing Danaher and the amount of killers he’s produced.
    And, of course, fuck Craig Jones 😂

    A man crying is not weakness, it's part of the emotional journey. I find strength in those moments. Makes you realise what hit you emotionally and it's more important how you react. That's what's who you are. You go full man and destroy to protect, that's so much more powerful. Nothing is more terrifying than a man emotional. How you focus such intense energy is key to being a mentally healthy man
