What's up guys? So today on the podcast, Eugene and I are going to answer a question that we've gotten asked before and that has been, it's floated around the internet a bit, which is, is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a cult? We'll dive into that. Now, that idea, again, if you've ever looked up, this, I didn't realize how ambiguous it is, but there's a lot of ambiguity to the word cult

or the definition of cult things like that so we we bounce around a little bit as we often do plus

again we're kind of we've been stuck in a quarantine so again we haven't really seen a lot of people

and so you can definitely see our minds are going all over the place but again we do talk about

the positives and the negatives about whether or not a cult is a good thing, is a bad thing, what defines a cult.

And, you know, one of the, I say this in the podcast, but one of the disclaimers I would give to you guys before you jump into this is if you are devoutly religious and you may not want to listen to it.

And I say that not because I'm attacking religion because I'm definitely not.

I'm not an anti-religion person.

But I look at religion in a very like just historical stance.

I'm not religious in my own sense. I'm not. So again, I have no

sort of convictions towards any of them and I have no sort of negative baggage towards any of them.

But we look at those ideas because religion and cults, they are very, very close to each other,

as well as social organization. So anyway, I think it's a fun podcast. And again, if you've ever kind of wondered,

man, am I a part of a cult with this jiu-jitsu stuff? Maybe it'll kind of give you some perspectives and think about it. And again, some, hopefully some ideas as well to think about how to

avoid bad stuff because you don't want to get stuck in a weird spot where you do have a leader

that is manipulating people in a negative way. So again, hope you guys, hope you guys, and as always, the podcast is brought to you

by Charlotte's Web.

They are one of the sponsors that we have.

Again, Eugene and I started using them, and we liked it, so we brought them on.

And they just sent us some new muscle rubs.

So I'm a big fan of some of the CBD rubs like that you rub into your muscles to make it,

it really helps get rid of some of the inflammation.
