0:21.5 | What's up guys? So today on the podcast, we talked to Tom de Blas. I met Tom about, I guess it was almost about two years ago when I was up in competing in New York and I stayed with a buddy mine in New Jersey and I went up there and trained with him. And afterwards kind of kept in touch with him here and there. And so we wanted to have him on the podcast. And, you know, again, right now the coronavirus is making its way through the world. |
0:23.1 | So we touch on that a little bit. |
0:30.4 | And then we kind of get into how he sort of went through Jiu-Jitsu just because I was curious because I didn't, I know the stuff that he's up to now, but I didn't know that stuff. So we talk about that, you know, getting started training, you know, Gary, his student, Gary Tonin and all that stuff. And then again, just kind of getting some of his perspectives on things and his outlook on the world in general. |

1:09.1 | that I'm normally am, you know, |
1:10.5 | as far as |
1:10.9 | Jiu-Zitsu goes. |
1:12.3 | I found myself like staying up a little bit later and like I have to use, I have to use the |
1:18.7 | Tintra to start to like wind down. |
1:20.3 | Like it's it's kind of weird because I'll take it in about 30 minutes after I take it, |
1:23.9 | all of a sudden I start kind of getting a little bit more relaxed and I can ease into sleep a little bit better. |
