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.
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 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'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 ❤
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.
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
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 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. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_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!
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 🙌🏻
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.
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’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.
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
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!
“Memory is memory. You can’t lie to yourself” wow John just knows how to illustrate a point to anyone at any level. Competitors know exactly what he’s saying there. What a quote
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.
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.
the layers of John Danaher.....the first time you see and hear him its so easy to dismiss him jokingly......then.....your ears start to hear....your mind starts to listen.....your eyes open.....its like several ah ha moments.....its like Beetohven himself having a podcast and trying to enlighten us on what music actually is.....I used to think gi was so technical and nogi was brute strength.....he turns nogi into one of the most technical things on earth.....
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 loved the grappling chat and all, but for me the best part was the more than 30 mins spent talking on who wins between Gorilla/Lion/Grizzly. . . . A genuinely important question that Danaher has obviously spent time considering :) Loved the whole convo, cheers guys
1:44:50 One thing to note about the Gordon and Andre Galvão clash is the age difference. Andre is 40 years old at this point, far past his prime, while Gordon is much younger and yet to reach his own. However, Gordon's dominance is still rather impressive, given that he is going against a juggernaut of the sport and nevertheless managed to dominate the match from start to finish. It was truly greatness on display.
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 🫂
John is such a unique dude. Very interesting. So cool to get to know and hear the coaches behind some of the greatest fighters. Their teams really are incredible.
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🙏💖🙏
I love how people just wish and pray that Gordon will fall at every match and the dude just seems to get wiser and more clever with every match. Almost exactly how people who know zero about boxing always prayed that Floyd Mayweather would fall but his defensive brilliance always outshined everyone else offensive mindset. Feel very fortunate to witness both of these legends during my lifetime.
Sad to hear about Gordon and Nicky's situation. Knowing how stubborn Gordon is, I doubt things will be back to normal after this. Hope they can work it out.
@@hollywoodhogan.7009 I trained at Renzos in NY back when the squad was there. I’d run into gordon regularly and I can confirm he is one stubborn SOB lol. Super cool down to earth dude tho despite all the hate online.
Good point Don't leave the ego at the door. Bring it in, but learn how to make your ego to be a proper servant and do it. When you don't learn it, ego will become the master and you will have egos conflicts with emotions and separation.... Not knowing that prolonged (more than 10 -15 sec.) emotions create a drain of energy, not knowing that the feelings create a true sustainable power, makes losers out of the most talented.
A fascinating conversation 'The most important thing in nature is numbers' - The same goes for making your business a success, you can have a great idea but it's when you start collaborating and working with people that the work really starts to come to life.
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.

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
Finally, we know why
David Attenborough is not long for this world...I nominate John Danaher as the new voice narrating nature.
Thanks, Rex, for finally exploring ACDC, my fav rock group evah! Oi Oi Oi!!!!!
Fuck ya almost 5 hours
if you dropped an episode with Danaher every week, i'd watch every single one
Agreed
He’s incredibly fascinating
Hundy
several times
absolutely🔥🫶🤞. deserved top comment no doubt
John in his rash guard opposite Lex in his hitman outfit is a joy to behold.
I don't recall him wearing anything else.....ever
Hitman at the business, hitman on the mats
Both men famous for wearing nothing else.
Next time, Lex should wear a rash guard too.
I read that the 1st time as "Lex in his *human* outfit" & laughed.
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."
Dude your comment gave me a serious laugh lmao 🤣
I do believe that you have accurately articulated the fundamental neurological workings of the John Danaher mind.
Fkn brilliant. 🤣👌
I died 😂 fuxkin accurate 🤣😂😂😂
😂 I hate you
John was lowkey hyped af when Lex asked about animal combat lol.
I loved it
4:17:06 "Gordon, you're fucked, you're going to die badly"

Bear wins. John says lions kill elephants an buffalo, never alone. Bears kill moose alone
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.
Dannaher never fails to motivate and bring a perspective to the pursuit of perfection that’s unique to just him.
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 am always looking for a video where JD is speaking, even for a minute. 5 hours is a gift.
ASMR heaven
Get one of his instructionals. They are at minimum 10hrs long haha
Someone should compile every video of his.
He could make a killing just taking narrating jobs. Wouldn’t be surprised if Audible offered him a bunch of money.
If you had Danaher 50 episodes in a row I wouldn't complain, would listen to every one of them

Yes that was my conclusion too, all research for new model's
Yeah Lex is truly doing something monumental here
Lmao you sound absolutely insane and ridiculous.
Gaaaaayyy boiii
I'll counter his AI with the ultimate bimbo AI. Hot people are a big weakness to nerds.
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 ❤

I haven't even started it yet, but this is heaven sent. I think I might even save this up for a later point. I love listening to this man
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.
You have great taste my brother
Remove Firas and add Eddie Bravo instead for more flavour
@@j.p.8137 Eddie bravo is a spicy Firas 🤣🤣🤣
Bump. Firas needs to be a guest.
Yes please!

Wow, I really appreciated going through Gordon Ryan's matches in slow motion with John. Thank you for that
Oh man, John Danaher -- I'm so pumped!!!
I was listening to the first John interview on my way to open mat, and now heading home to get ready for work and this comes out. Amazing
Wish danaher had his own show ! talking philosophy, politics current events world history ect , how awesome would that be...
This is just pure GOLD!!! Thank you for that Lex! And of course thank you so much John!
The responses to Gordon Ryan vs various animals made my day 🤣
John looks happy-
Lex: „if we can just linger on the low point…“
This was one of the best podcasts I've ever heard. Four-hours plus and wall-to-wall fascinating. Thank you.
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 🙌🏻
Lex: no no that’s anecdotal evidence
Also lex: there’s gotta be that one legendary bear
"yeah but this bear's seen some shit" lol
Can you please get John on again, and just do animal fight hypotheticals for 3 hours
Just what I thought. I would pay for that.
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.
MORE DANAHER. I would genuinely pay for each episode.
Shhhhhh…..don’t tell them…but I would also lol. Pure gold here
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!
My god, the Danaher analysis of the animal fight showdown is one of the all time best segments of Lex's podcast!
It's the only Lex podcast I've ever watched. And I have watched the animal segment several times.
He brought out the special occasion underarmor rashguard, you know this will be a banger
As opposed to his regular lizard green rashguard
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.
john is by far one of your best guests and you have built a fun rapport with him, great work love it. fan from the UK!!!
There can be a whole other podcast dedicated to John breaking down animal combat 😂😂😂
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.
Danaher is like Phil Jackson, Ryan is like Jordan... We're watching these guys make history.
100%! Great observation!
Not quite . MJ lol. We'll see long way to go before he's even Sean rooks
@@EmperorNerox say what you want but these two are doing more to grow the sport than anyone else. Also extremely hard to deny their dominance.
@@michaelkluver true. It's a sport now .
Looking forward to the next one already, I love when you guys speak together, it's truly amazing.
John looked soo happy when you brought up the animals 😂 that was awesome
Let’s talk
🔝📩📊
4 hours of Lex Fridman and John Danaher. Nice.
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
John Danaher needs his own podcast. Jiu-Jitsu match analysis, animal combat, strategy, would be the best podcast ever!
This man should be a weekly guest.
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!
“500 a week… your training partners must suck bro” probably the funniest line I’ve ever heard in the history of podcasts
Professor Danaher is such a stoic, wise and well spoken individual.
Great podcast.
Would you rather fight one hundred Lex-sized John Danahers or one Danaher-sized Lexes? You are allowed to use Ashi Garami.
One-Hundred Penguin sized Lex or One Lex sized Penguin
Do they not get hungry in so much time filming? Awesome epidose, the animals discussions were priceless
I think Gordon said on JRE that John fasts habitually.
Lex is to the best of my knowledge a robot
@@Jonbombs I'd get hungry 1 hour in the podcast 😂
Another 5 hours of Danaher, omfg thank you Lex!
Danaher definitely flexed in this one about his coaching and athletes which he normally doesn’t do haha love to see it
Lex getting slightly frustrated that john had good counter arguments against the bear vs lion is hilarious
GREAT podcast! Loved the ADCC analysis with one of the best minds in Jiu-Jitsu! More of these please!
You CAN NOT get higher quality content than this. Unbelievable stuff Jeff. 🙏🏽
Lex PLEASE keep bringing John back
I can't believe Lex managed to get an Engineer on the podcast!
Engineer from Prometheus right?:D
I was bummed when Danaher didn’t come wearing his signature lizard green rash guards.
“Memory is memory. You can’t lie to yourself” wow John just knows how to illustrate a point to anyone at any level. Competitors know exactly what he’s saying there. What a quote
Great stuff Lex. More jiujitsu guys please
A genuine, knowledgeable, and well-rounded guest. John Danaher is a must listen even for those not interested in BJJ ❤
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.
Almost FIVE hours of Master Danaher.
Lex, you have outdone yourself.
Life is simple, I see Lex and John Danaher on a podcast, I click straight away
Thanks Under Armour for sponsoring this podcast
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.
the fight analysis + video segment made me incredibly happy. thank you for this.
Almost 5 hours of Friedman and Danaher just talking. You can't ask any more of life.
True brother
the layers of John Danaher.....the first time you see and hear him its so easy to dismiss him jokingly......then.....your ears start to hear....your mind starts to listen.....your eyes open.....its like several ah ha moments.....its like Beetohven himself having a podcast and trying to enlighten us on what music actually is.....I used to think gi was so technical and nogi was brute strength.....he turns nogi into one of the most technical things on earth.....
The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
I can listen to Danaher all day. The man has so much wisdom to impart
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 loved the grappling chat and all, but for me the best part was the more than 30 mins spent talking on who wins between Gorilla/Lion/Grizzly. . . . A genuinely important question that Danaher has obviously spent time considering :)
Loved the whole convo, cheers guys
Not even halfway through, and this is already a fantastic podcast.
1:44:50 One thing to note about the Gordon and Andre Galvão clash is the age difference. Andre is 40 years old at this point, far past his prime, while Gordon is much younger and yet to reach his own. However, Gordon's dominance is still rather impressive, given that he is going against a juggernaut of the sport and nevertheless managed to dominate the match from start to finish. It was truly greatness on display.
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 🫂
John is such a unique dude. Very interesting. So cool to get to know and hear the coaches behind some of the greatest fighters. Their teams really are incredible.
Started the podcast by saying “what’s this pussy doing wearing tights” 2 minutes in and said out loud “god pls forgive me”
No lies or boasting. I watch John's instructional and all interviews with Joe Rogan's pool focus ❤️
One of the best pods ever
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🙏💖🙏
Johns metaphor between a knife and jiu jitsu is genius
Thank you both, the more of his mind we get on record for future generations is a wonderful thing.
I love how people just wish and pray that Gordon will fall at every match and the dude just seems to get wiser and more clever with every match. Almost exactly how people who know zero about boxing always prayed that Floyd Mayweather would fall but his defensive brilliance always outshined everyone else offensive mindset. Feel very fortunate to witness both of these legends during my lifetime.
Sad to hear about Gordon and Nicky's situation. Knowing how stubborn Gordon is, I doubt things will be back to normal after this. Hope they can work it out.
How do you know how stubborn Gordan is?
@@hollywoodhogan.7009 I trained at Renzos in NY back when the squad was there. I’d run into gordon regularly and I can confirm he is one stubborn SOB lol. Super cool down to earth dude tho despite all the hate online.
@@TheFightConnoisseur like my way or the highway type of thing?
@@TheFightConnoisseur curious what you mean. Would you be down to elaborate more on the stubbornness characteristic you’re referring ti
Nicky congratulated Gordan after his win in person so atleast they're on speaking terms now.
Good point
Don't leave the ego at the door. Bring it in, but learn how to make your ego to be a proper servant and do it. When you don't learn it, ego will become the master and you will have egos conflicts with emotions and separation.... Not knowing that prolonged (more than 10 -15 sec.) emotions create a drain of energy, not knowing that the feelings create a true sustainable power, makes losers out of the most talented.
One of the best pods I’ve heard in my life, Dana her never disappoints, the gem 💎dropper of all gem droppers
You could tell John enjoys being on this podcast and talkin with Lex
Imagine having John as an uncle, where he would get drunk at the family bbq, and tell stories… I’d love that 😂
A fascinating conversation 'The most important thing in nature is numbers' - The same goes for making your business a success, you can have a great idea but it's when you start collaborating and working with people that the work really starts to come to life.
There are just too many golden nuggets here for me to only listen to this once. And that Boris story is just straight out of a movie 😂 bravo Boris!
Danaher podcast is Christmas morning vibe
Kudo's to John for taking this wild animal fight convo seriously when he has to get up and teach for 13 hours the next day lol
Danaher Doesnt take credit for the success of his fighters, but takes credit for their failures. takes a special kinda man to think this way.
I needed this. Headed back to BJJ today
Good luck to you sir
OSS
Voice is so calming
Outstanding episode. John is such an interesting character, could listen to him talk about everything all day.
Id like a full podcast on animal combat please.
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.
Let’s talk
🔝📩📊
Wow let’s goooo dude. Easily top 3 podcast guest I look forward to on any podcast. This just made my day thank you lex
19:58 - Gordon and Nicky are who Danaher is referring to right?
I think so. I think they were the only brothers on the squad.
Almost 5 hours went like that what a fantastic pod cast.
