You're killing it Lex. Thanks for all you do! Love ya bro!
Lex please don’t let them hurt you😮😢
Lex answer my question please
P
I love the smell of testosterone in the morning.
Nicky Ryan : Answers are logical and thought out
Nicky Rod: Answers sound like a post fight interview
Craig: Answers are complete bullshit.
Awesome combination of guys.
Best of all worlds.
Craig is joking
@@Calamity8 🧐 Really? Thanks for clarifying.
Hilarious, especially Nicky 😂
Nicky Ryan answers are thought out and logical??? Nicky can’t even spell logical the kid is not very bright and it’s clear he has an 8th grade education
The fact that Craig is so carefree and isnt a naturally competitive person makes me realise how good he really is.
I always wondered if that attitude is actually held him back from first place. Maybe maybe not
He has to be somewhat competitive, to have achieved what he has
@@Arminsaf2 I wonder the same. Or maybe his carefreeness is actually what makes him a good competitor, who knows.
@@ivanrogic4803 True
@@Arminsaf2 It's what held him back in the second place.
Hearing Nicky talk about hating losing so much that it holds him back from competing was so real to hear.
Weak minded at its peak. Imagine the type of ego a person has to have to even say those words. I just coached a FRESHMAN to the 195lb finals in 4A state of Iowa legit competition. Dude he lost 9 matches this year NINEEEE matches bro.. he kept coming hard and showing up and made it to the state finals. You weak men make me sick.
The way Craig described a street fight gave me chills! "Whoever takes it the furthest the fastest will win"
It’s so true.
Hard to win without eyes yanno
He makes it sound like he got his ass beat in a street fight once probably before his BJJ days haha
@@cuzza4321 you missed the point, i doubt he be alive if he lost that fight
Fr I’m realizing that fighting world champion grapplers is a bad idea
Craig Jones needs to have a podcast, please!
Coming very soon
I "2nd" this.
@@craigjones8662 good I will be waiting to be onboarded as a guest of course.
I'm pretty sure he takes part in Dan hookers pod but I don't know if he is a host or just a consistent guest.
💯
Craig Jones’ charisma is actually insane lol
seriously I can't get enough of the guy 😂
It's all fake, guy is a scumbag IRL
Yea he’s a beauty! Internet stand up technician 😂
He's definitely crazy charismatic. But to be fair hes in a room with 3 pretty awkward dudes 😂
tbh he’s just a pretty regular australian dude. it’s natural for us to not care about status also deflating pretty much everything of seriousness hahaha.
The B-team needs to go and do wayyy more podcasts. They have a sick dynamic and are winning over fans. They can build their brand soooo much bigger.
😮
Your wish has been granted
@@thatguitarguyguy who else did they do? I wanna watch it bro
@@abil3362 I think they are doing episodes bi weekly. Regardless, they at least officially have a podcast now that they will be doing.
@thatguitarguyguy kk thanks bro. Will check it is
Wow. Nicky is like everything Gordon could be. Humble, honest, respectable, and genuine. I hope he has as much success in competition as he does in character.
100% agree + he beat some genuinely good people when he was younger. Hope he really fixes his knee issue and gets back on the comp scene
You forgot to write broke 🤣🤣
And seems to be happier
Their brothers and Gordon is best of all time no gi. His brother is smaller less technical. But they are family so let them he
10:15 went clear over your head.
Craig is hilarious. In another life i think he could’ve been a comedian.
I think he checked the box in this life haha
Or First Place...
I think that life is this one lol
Do you think he’s cute? (I’m a guy)
Podcast coming soon. Then comedy. Then food truck diaries
Forget national treasure. Craig Jones is an international treasure.
Protect this man at all costs.
He's our Ambassador to the rest of the world haha
Nicky Rod's response to the AI thing was absolutely hilarious. Such a nicky thing to say
Valid point thought lol. I got stuck in the mountains full of snow without any source of power and connection to the world, I realized that all my knowledge of tech, cybersecurity and finance is worthless in the world of pure physical survival.
I've been watching so much Craig content recently, this podcast is crazy timing.
Bro same ☠️
retweet
same!!
Yooooo same
Me too dawg I have been SPAMMING Craig content 😂 even the podcast from yeaaars ago w Whittaker
Their dynamic is so great to watch, brings entertainment to BJJ it's so good. Craig is actually so funny
BJJ?
@@HolyRoboticCophave a guess
This made me a HUGE Craig Jones fan. He's actually a thoughtful, intelligent, and self-aware guy. He comes across as a bit of a silly Aussie, but he's actually an great athlete and a good representative of Martial Arts. Much respect Lex and the B-Team!
Has a psychology degree
The balance lex keeps between three interviewees is brilliant
I think Lex had the most fun in this episode. Haven’t seen him laugh and crack that many jokes this much 😂😂😂
Yes, seems a bit flirty😂.
But all in good spirit.
I think lex is an absolute dud
The reference of Danaher as Colonel Kurtz and it getting weird in the jungle had me dying 😂😂
Yeah. Because it's so easy to imagine. 😅
2nd best Podcast with the second best grapplers
😂
God Damnnnnnnnnnn. Not even a full day! Good man, great comment!
Was just thinking .... B-Team is the perfect name for this crew 😂
Joe Rogan and Gordon Ryan? ❌️❌️❌️
Lex Fridman and The B Team? ✅️✅️✅️
"I'm not where I will be in a few years from now, but I'm striving to get there."
Me too Nicky Rod... Me too.
Craig: “do you think if you were on steroids you would have gotten the submission?”
Nicky Rod: “oh for sure”
Craig: *thats what I thought too.*
😂
Craig is hilarious in this cast.
I’ve Lol’d half a dozen times
I didn't get it, would you care to explain?
@@sebastianbarahonavelasquez theyre all on roids lol
@@sebastianbarahonavelasquez wait maybe not ig nicky rod has taken tests and proved he really is natty so idk
@@jonathanbrooks9768none of them are on roids lol
feels like a bunch of buds having a good time
read it in an australian accent
btw australia is not a real country, you are an englishman in a box
@@georgemartyn5268 just abuncha blokes hangin eht widdabuncha mates
Unexpectedly , I think this was my favorite episode so far. That comment from Nicky Rod about AI was hilarious. He's like a character out of Dungeons & Dragons come to life :D
Lmao guys like Craig are unbreakable. I love that he doesn't take him self too seriously.
Solid podcast. B-Team are the real dudes, and Craig is 100% the funniest guy in jiu-jitsu. Really solid insights into a lot of things.
I think Nicky Ryan would be cool to have on as a solo guest. He dropped some gems in here but was not really involved otherwise. Awesome podcast as always Lex! Hope to have coffee soon!
i dont think i've ever seen lex having so much fun lol
craig is amazing
I’m so excited about this interview. I can’t get enough of the Aussie style banter from Craig and his boyz.
Unbelievable, Craig is always hilarious, a national hero
🇦🇺 🪃
he's australian, mate.
@@lukerodriguez7908 yeah I think they probs know that
@@tommythewho6073 why?
@@lukerodriguez7908 as am I, buddy 😂
I got lucky enough to train with Nicky Rod when he came down to Charleston SC. Had a blast rolling with the guy and he was nice enough to answer questions I had afterwards. Surprised at how nice this dude was, big fan :D
Oss that sounds amazing thanks for sharing, btw did he play guard 👀
Nice to hear stories of nice people. Thx for sharing friend
🚶🏿
@@blumpkinspicelatte4580 I train and own a school in London brother if you're ever down you're more than welcome
I like how Nick Rodriguez and Craig are literally polar opposites
Lex is a very serious guy. Craig is not and I love it lol.
craig is funny, and nicky rod showed us that he is a nice person.
@@blumpkinspicelatte4580 lex is fake deep
@@anthonyp3113 If a MIT AI phd accredited researcher that is a full time nerd is fake deep, then who is real deep?
@@TopFearless certainly not the people in his circle 😂 lex, jbp, and huberman are all widely disregarded in their fields besides jbp until he got famous.
PhDs don't make you special.
@@anthonyp3113 having a research position at the no.1 university in the world makes you special tho. Lex is incredibly smart, I think you know that urself
Would love to have Nicky Ryan do more podcasts. He seems very humble and intelligent.
Boring
Iirc in one the more recent B-Team videos, Jay says that Nicky would be great at streaming on something like Twitch.
Iirc in his words, all Nicky has to do is hit record and be himself while playing.
I really love the nonchalant world tournament goku-isk vibe Craig puts out while competing
You legend Lex! I’ve been secretly wanting this and that stars have aligned. Havent even started watching it yet, just know it’ll be a banger! Thank you
Craig's instructionals "make z guard great again" "get off my legs gringo" and "power bottom" 😂😂😂
False Reap Accusations is top tier
best quote so far
"there's no warm ups in the street", - Craig Jones
the introduction was amazing. Can't wait to see the whole thing
One of the best yt channels out there! Love the BTeam
“Nobody beats me Four times” haha! What a legend.
1:01:42 best description of Gordon Ryan I’ve ever heard and they cut everyone’s reaction, never change Craig
Couldn’t snip out that quick Nicky Ryan grin at Rod though, just terrific
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 :)))))
You sound salty, like Craig and and Nicky Rod do. 🤣
@@bjjpenguin But would you say you are as clever as Nicky Rod or less? i can't find a third option for you
@@bjjpenguin Either way why you in the comments shitting on B-Team and defending Gordon like you're his girlfriend 😂 You strike me as one of those guys that puts 'bjj' in ALL of his bios but only took a free trial class
Nicky Rod was the highlight. Great episode. Thank you Lex.
B Team has such a cool chemistry, bringing great perspectives to Jiujitsu!
Love the highlights at the start of the video. Can't wait to watch/listen the rest.
You guys are hilarious! I busted out laughing a couple of times. You can feel the brotherhood between you all that comes with mutual respect and the martial artists' minds. 💪🧠
Good luck, fellas! I hope to see a match in person one day! 🤓
Craig is gonna be a world class BJJ coach one day. He's very good at explaing/talking through techniques and positioning
Definitely! If he sticks at it he might even get a chance to coach some top MMA guys…
Hey Lex! All my favourite people do grappling and I have been practicing for a year. I'm happy to finally relate to a grappling podcast!
thank you lex, you ask a lot of great questions even tuff ones, Great interview.
This is amazing. Loved all these dudes before but even more now. Craig Jones is the 9th wonder of the world lol
Nicky Rod, matter-of-factly:
"My second week of jiu jitsu I started competing and had pretty good success... I was subbing a few black belts and beating everbody..." wow!
Craig is hilarious. And based on the preview all you guys have great chemistry. Can't wait to watch this.
Need you to have them back!! Maybe with Ethan. One of the best pods I’ve seen on your channel keep ‘em coming!
Funny to watch these 3 being interviewed by Lex... They look like they're in trouble and being interviewed by the Principal!😂
The smiles of Lex in this talk are wonderfulness! ☺✊🤭😅
Craig’s banter is world class. This is one of my favorite Lex podcast’s to date 🏆
any video/podcast with Craig is gonna be hilarious
I love how this podcast covers such a wide range of topics and how Lex approaches each conversation with respect and curiosity. Keep up the great work!
This is like watching Real Housewives for grapplers and I’m all for it.
This is the second best episode I’ve ever seen
On my way! Of your best episodes yet! 🙌🏽💪🏽
"gear" makes it sound so cool. Like "let's get on some gear today"
I’m glad Lex got the B-Team on here. Great showing for all 3. I’d like to see each of them on again, solo.
Craig Jones is a national treasure and should be protected at any cost
What nation
@@mazerunner7640 *international treasure
Lex what a beast.. I needed this thanks
definitely one of lex’s most entertaining episodes thus far. wish it could’ve been longer
I love how involved Lex is in the BJJ sub-community. He is truly a f***king cool guy!
Lex looking at Nicky Rod like "What does the Chad say?"
Lex has the conversational ability of a 2x4 plank
Such a treat thank you lex
That intro was awesome hahaha
Craig! CLA Approach to coaching and learning!! Yes 👍 Thank you. So refreshing to hear this.
Been waiting so long for this!!!
love the B team I watch everything they put out. I love their attitude
I love how different Craig and Nicky's philosophies are to warm ups and prep. It's great to see alternative mindsets at the highest level.
Another awesome episode. Thank you Sir!
Really fun listen. Had such a laugh listening.
Craig is incredibly funny but the tips he gave here when he got serious are priceless. Constraint based learning, perfect!
Timestamp?.
I love these guys, anyone who is a fan should definitely follow them on UA-cam and social media
The best and funniest podcast! Thank you Lex!
great episode wish we had more of those
Craig Jones is inspirational. No warm-ups, no preparation for competition, not sure he actually goes to the gym, stops training when he gets a bit tired
And obviously no steroids.
Man I love Ricky Rods mentality. Just go fucking hard all the time.
Lex this is amazing, I feel like your podcast just lifted Jujitsu to another level. Thank you for getting into the mindset of these assassins.
You guys were so funny :)))) thank you Lex for a nice piece of laugh :))) I guess this is the side effect of practicing sports, a relaxed view of life❤
loved that part where Craig says that you roll hard with only a small bunch of people you trust.
When you are 40+ yo that's the only way you could keep rolling. Totally agree! oh, and to my fellow Lex - самбо рулит, брат. Кто родился в СССР и не занимался самбо - непонятно вообще чем они тогда занимались ))
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 😂
Love this content, thank you Lex!
It’s just been 15mins maaan this is lit 🔥
fantastic. the juxtaposition between lex's demeanor and the goofiness of these guys it's just so great. I relate to the b team and find lex very confusing because I am also a huge goofball.
Anyone have any other episodes similar to this? I am not a well versed lex-listener, for what it's worth.
Tim Dillon, Mark Normand are a couple good ones where Lex is up against some funny goofy guys.
Been waiting for this one🔥🔥
I love this episode of the podcast so much
Watched a lot of videos on this channel but this is my first comment. I truly wish the best for this young man. He’s a beautiful soul and an truly inspiring young man.
thank you Lex! We were waiting for it!
Lex is the champion of men of culture. Keep up the great work lex! Stoked for this episode!
Lmao
This podcast was excellent. Lex has been killing it with the podcasts.
Craig Jones just became my second favorite BJJ player
Finally this interview happened!
This has got to be the 2nd best podcast I’ve ever seen
Edit: ah crap someone beat me to it
Crazy seeing you here. Do you train bjj?
Nicky Rod and Craig killed me 😂
1:06:20 The covers on Craig Jones' instructionals are fantastic! 🤣
Heck yes, love this cast
