What's up, guys? So to do on the podcast, we have who I consider one of the greats of Jiu-Jitsu,

0:05.0

you know, Dean Lister. He's, I mean, he should be. I mean, I don't know why he said it that way,

0:09.3

like I consider it. He is, you know, a monster in the ADCC championships. He's won it before.

0:15.9

He's had a really cool career in Jiu-Jitsu. He has a high-level grappler who is known for his leg locks, mostly, obviously, because

0:23.8

he was doing him way before they were cool, right?

0:26.1

He was doing leg locks way back in the day before it was the thing to do.

0:30.0

So again, I was really excited to have him on the podcast, and I hope you guys enjoy it.

1:09.3

They've been the one that I've really settled down with because, again, I really like CBD.

1:13.6

The benefits have been huge as far as the way that my body feels personally.

1:17.5

When I get done training, I notice a huge difference in my level of recovery, my level of

1:22.5

soreness and my sleep when I'm on CBD versus when I'm off of it.

1:26.3

And I've tested it. I've gone on and off just to kind of see if it's,

1:29.4

if it's me just kind of like being the placebo person.
