Eddie Bravo (0:15)

What?

Joe Rogan (0:15)

Yeah. Are we on? Yeah, we're up, we're up. The Jets versus the Cowboys. Oh. Yeah.

In Dallas.

Eddie Bravo (0:23)

Yeah, Cowboys, that would just happen, right? Two weeks ago or last week?

Joe Rogan (0:27)

Last week. Last Sunday.

Eddie Bravo (0:30)

Yeah, a week ago.

Joe Rogan (0:31)

A week ago. It was fucking awesome.

How many people does that place seat?

Jamie (0:36)

That one's probably close to 100

Joe Rogan (0:37)

It's amazing. 80 plus. That place is fucking amazing.

I've never seen an NFL game live.

Eddie Bravo (0:43)

I'm so into football, man.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

I get it now.

Bro, I get it. I'm friends with Aaron Rodgers, and I don't even watch football.

Eddie Bravo (0:50)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

And Aaron was supposed to play, but then Aaron blew out his Achilles tendon.

Eddie Bravo (0:56)

Yeah, first drive of the first game. All this hype, like, the craziest shit. All this hype about Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets. And the crazy thing is, they had drafted, like, a year or two before that. Zach Wilson, who was, like, a number-one draft pick, he was supposed to be the, you know, the new quarterback that was going to take the Jets to the Super Bowl. But he's had a miserable last couple of years. And so instead of giving up on him, the Jets said, OK, let's bring in Aaron Rodgers, because Green Bay was moving on from Aaron Rodgers. They got this guy love.

Eventually, like all the legends, eventually their last couple years, they play on another team, like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning. The last couple years, they go to a different team. And sometimes...

Yeah, yeah. That's a lot of money.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

I get it.

Eddie Bravo (1:48)

And then the first drive, after all that hype with Aaron Rodgers, in New York City, it was huge. And then, boom, he's gone for the season.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

Yeah, he thinks he'll be back in six months. He said it's usually six to 12 months, but he said that's for vaccinated people.

Eddie Bravo (2:04)

But then, my Browns, you know, I'm following the Browns every day in the offseason.

Undrafted free agents, the fucking draft, everything. Really? I just practice.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

You're all in, huh?

Eddie Bravo (2:18)

I'm all in. I love it. Wow. I love it. It's such an amazing sport. Like, every player has their own mission.

And the quarterback needs to know as many of those missions as possible. He needs to know what's going on. But everyone else, they just need one mission. They got one mission. Every player, everybody's doing something different.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

It's incredible to watch.

Eddie Bravo (2:37)

And then there's all these coaches. I'm actually friends with, do you remember, do you remember there was a Sports Illustrated article on a football coach that was an offensive line coach that was teaching Jiu-Jitsu to NFL players to help them in the offensive line? That's Scott Peters from the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, there's an article on it. And I remember reading it a couple years ago.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

What would help with Jiu-Jitsu? Just being able to clinch?

Understanding how to throw bodies around?

Eddie Bravo (3:06)

I think so.

Joe Rogan (3:08)

Wrestling? Wrestling seems like it would help a lot.

Eddie Bravo (3:10)

Touch, feel, balance. But I'm not sure. I need to talk to him about that, because I just met him via text through a friend. I had a guy on a podcast. He knows him. And apparently, he played football, too. His name is Scott Peters. And when he retired, he started doing MMA and started doing Jiu-Jitsu and fell in love with it. Then he got a job.

He's an assistant offensive line coach for the Browns.

And he's all about teaching them Jiu-Jitsu.

Joe Rogan (3:40)

Well, I'd imagine those guys are all badasses. They want to learn Jiu-Jitsu. Who doesn't want to learn Jiu-Jitsu?

Eddie Bravo (3:44)

Yeah, yeah.

Joe Rogan (3:46)

Who's going, nah, I don't want to learn that shit?

Eddie Bravo (3:48)

A lot of people, actually.

Joe Rogan (3:49)

They just don't want to get strangled. They don't want to start out as beginners.

Eddie Bravo (3:52)

The same thing happened to the Browns, though. Second week, on paper, the Browns look like a playoff contender for sure, on paper. But everyone, you know, it's all about how you execute and how it all gels. But the one constant that we have, we have the best running back in the game, Nick Chubb. Best running, so he rarely ever gets hurt.
