I can only say from a distance but a guy I know was very much like Eddie Bravo. He'd constantly look at and share conspiracies but wouldn't actually do any research. he would share articles against global warming asking people to look into it but would admit he would never read the articles, just the headlines. His filter was basically hugely biased towards if it might be fake, it is.

He didn't start too bad and would only think of those questions to somehow reevaluate life under new scenarios. Unfortunately, it turned from sarcasm in some cases to full-on schizo mode all the time. It was frightening once I realised he was playing a character in front of us but in his private time was afarid of russians and thought scientists were controlling our weather.

It didn't start like that, but we couldn't agree on anything anymore because he was too invested in being sure it (whatever it is) was a fix.

In the case of Eddie, pair that ego with a large group of people looking up to you as an instructor/businessman, Constant weed smoking and no need to reevaluate your life choices and it can become a problem. All of this is quite inconsequential though and I kinda surprise myself at the amount I care about the subject.

... So, how about that truck position? pros? cons?

Eddie is a big part of Joe's success. Joe is dumb and into conspiracy theories but Eddie is super dumb and super into conspiracy theories so Joe comes across sounding like the smart one.

It'll cost them a bit of cash but really if the quality was bad then this is the only suitable option.

It can't cost that much to re-shoot properly and considering the volume they sold they customers deserve it.

Danaher also said he's adding new content to the re-shoot. He said they also shot a back attacks system dvd and are working on some of his other systems. So I'd expect to be shelling out some more pennies soon for good content that has been shot and edited properly.

John basically has no expenses. He doesn't live extravagantly at all and he doesn't even need to buy rashguards. Companies and gyms just give him a ton of them. His only hobby that requires any money is custom knives so he's going to be awash in custom knives (even more so than now).

No anime. John isn't a weeaboo. He is only interested in judo (maybe knives too) with respect to Japan. Anyone who thinks he is a weeaboo is projecting.

Does Danaher hangout with anybody outside the gym socially? It sounds like his apartment is filled with philosophical books on war and knives. No furniture.

I think it was on UFC Unfiltered with Serra, but Matt was saying that Danaher never brings anyone to his apartment and its some big mystery what it looks like and how he lives :shrug:

What I don’t understand about his use of japanese terms is that it doesn’t seem to clarify things any further. Does he use japanese names for upper body positions too?
