It's great. I feel like we're getting so much Zanis time. I'm so excited about it. This is fantastic.

I guess it's actually talking to Mike. Yeah. No. First time. Yeah. No, they're good mics. Yeah. Dude. So, you came into town. We did a little pre-recording for this. And then last night we got a chance to go to Jiu-Jitsu, which was a lot of fun. first time we rolled together, and then we got to go eat some steaks, which was even better.

Yeah, that was a great experience we were looking to do that what last December when I came in and we ended up in that giant traffic jam and in traffic like an hour of 45 minutes and just remember all that disappointment on your face well yeah it's fun um i think it's a good community of guys and like the people that go um you know

i made a joke about it. If you need 25 new friends join a jiu-jitsu gym. But what did you think of Shanji's coaching? It was great. Yeah, I love the way that it was kind of like the chunking method. Like you broke everything down really nice and then gave you the opportunity to express yourself. Yeah. And he comes around and goes, what are you doing? He gets like mad at me at everything. He's, uh,

you go rogue though. then gave you the opportunity to express yourself. Yeah. And then he comes around and goes, what are you doing?

He gets like mad at me at everything.

He's, uh, you go rogue though. You do things that you shouldn't be doing. Yeah, no, I'm fucking outside the box. The, yeah, no, uh, Shungi's a great coach. I mean, he's one of the best to ever do it. I mean, you know, Shanji Habedero is just, I mean, like, dude, like, it's funny, I didn't necessarily know.

And then, like, periodically, like, it's funny.

I didn't necessarily know.

And then, like, periodically on flow and different things, like, his, like, matches will pop up and the dude's an absolute savage. I mean, he killed people for, like, 20 years. Well, it's unbelievable. Even when he's just coaching and demonstrating, it's so smooth. looks like artwork.

Yeah.
