| 0:00.0 | What Up Power Project Crew This is Josh Settlage, aka Settlegate, here to introduce you to |
| 0:05.2 | our next guest, Nick Rodriguez. Nick Rodriguez is a professional grappler and former amateur wrestler |
| 0:12.0 | who is one of the main members of the Donner-Her-Death Squad, the most dominant teen in submission grappling. |
| 0:17.8 | Nick crashed onto the scene as one of the top names in the sport, |
| 0:20.9 | when as a blue belt, he conquered a silver medal in the ADCC World Championships in 2019. |
| 0:27.4 | ADCC is arguably the toughest submission grappling event in the world that takes place once |
| 0:32.8 | every two years. Originally hailing from Clayton, New Jersey, United States, |
| 0:37.5 | Nick wrestled throughout high school and into college. After his college career had ended, |
| 0:42.0 | he then transitioned to submission grappling. Within his first three weeks of submission grappling |
| 0:47.1 | or no-gui jujitsu training, he entered two pro-level tournaments and went undefeated in both. |
| 0:53.2 | He now trains full-time in Puerto Rico with the Donner-Her-Death Squad under the watchful eye |

| 1:51.7 | a restaurant because it's not really on the plan right now. We combined the eat right shrimp |
| 1:59.2 | and the steak with some stir fry. It was super legit for dinner. I took a bunch of pictures. |
| 2:07.9 | I did video that I'll end up posting. But I'm not going to be like, it's five-star, |
| 2:14.4 | Michelin, whatever restaurant. But it was really fucking good. I was shocked. The cool thing is my |
| 2:22.0 | wife really likes it. For working mom, still nursing, she can have an easy access ready to go meal |
| 2:30.7 | out the fridge into the microwave. It's been such a huge time saver and such a huge help for us. |
