0:23.1	What's up, guys? So today on the podcast, we have Cade Ritolo. So if you haven't been paying attention to Jiu-Jitsu for the last couple of years, there's these two young guys named Ty and Cade Ritolo, and they are amazing at Jiu-Jitsu. I remember they were coming up and someone was telling me about them. They were like, I think back in 2016 or something like that. And they're like, dude, these brothers, it might have been Josh Hanger. When he came up for the seminar, he's like, dude, these guys are sick.
0:25.6	And, you know, I started watching.
0:27.4	Like, dude, they're so good.
0:28.4	And they're like, he just turned 18 and they just got done competing against, you know, world level competitors. I mean, like Craig Jones and they've been competing against these who's number one matches and stuff. It's phenomenal. Um, so again, it's super, super, uh, fun kid to talk to. And,
0:42.1	um, it's interesting to see people get that good at something, that young. Yeah, his, his, uh, the ceiling is
0:49.6	just like unlimited. I mean, you got guys like, you know, we look at the top guys like Gordon Ryan.
0:55.8	He was probably in his teens when he started.
0:59.0	They started when they were three years old.
1:00.6	Right, right.
1:01.1	So like, I mean, you're talking about like they're already, they're already that good at 17.

1:22.0	happening right like for instance it's very unlikely that you're going to be 18 years old and you're
1:25.6	going to make it to the NFL I see a a couple. It's like it's so physical.
1:28.4	Yeah.
1:28.8	But with jit-s basketball is the same way because there's so much technique involved and things like that and speed.
1:34.0	Jih Tjitsu can be the same way where you get these young people that can kind of, you know, they can, they can, you can, you can be a much different age, physicality and things like that. And you can still play in the pro leagues,
1:48.0	which is, I think, it's just an interesting quality of the sport. We saw that with, I'd say,
1:51.2	Chad from our gym. Chad was one of those, you know, oh yeah, Chad was competing in the
