Massive...
Eddie, with all due respect, thanks to both you and Joe for not going all Russell Peters on Rickson, and thus talking over him. You guys listened so well and only interjected when appropriate. Respect all around. Fuckin' loved it. You can tell that Rickson sincerely wants to meet again, do another podcast, have you guys over for dinner. Shit, that's success right there...
Rickson's PR guy actually contacted me to do my podcast and asked if I thought Joe would have him on his podcast too. Then the PR guy suggested that we all get together on Joe's podcast and of course we all agreed, obviously that was the best option :)Quote:

Then after that 30 minutes, tell him to let his hair down and get crazy EBR style!!
next time you invite Rickson to the JRE, make sure Joey Diaz is there as well, lol jk
but Jean Jacques may be a good choice! or maybe you could try to get Bas Rutten again!
Getting Jean Jacques and Rickson on at the same time telling old stories would be insane :)Quote:

That is so cool that they were in touch with you Eddie for him to be on EBR, shows how Rickson feels compared to some of his brothers. And i agree, Rickson and Jean Jacques on JRE together would be amazing to listen too. That or Rickson and Kron on together. With Eddie and Joe of courseQuote:

And yeah that podcast was the best ever. I always listen, but this was probably my favorite one. I can't imagine what it must have been like to not only hang out with Rickson for 3 hours, but to then show him the RG after. Maaaaaan hella surreal.
Best episode of JRE, ever.
Loved the episode, and video after as well! Great stuff, and definitely supporting the idea of having Rickson and Kron on together, if possible. As well as Rickson and Jean Jacques. Or just Rickson again would be amazing as well.
Really enjoyed hearing Eddie and Rickson talk about the Submission Only-format. Seems like you have the same goal, making BJJ exciting, just different approaches to get there. Powerful podcast.
Incredible Podcast. Probably the best I've ever seen. Jean Jacques on EBR as a close second. Kron's appearance on JRE was fantastic too. Crazy after listening to Rickson for three hours and going back to the Kron podcast how similar those two are.
Eddie, you and Kron definitely need to exchange ideas. He's such a beast, and with him moving into MMA, a lot of your ideas could make him the Jiu-jitsu hero we're all craving for in MMA. Can you imagine if Kron does what we all hoped his Dad would do in the UFC. Sweet baby Jesus....
Also, Kron on EBR would be awesome too.
Also, Eddie, Kron said on the JRE podcast that his Dad has too many back injuries to compete or even roll fully nowadays. Did it seem like that was true to you when you had him in your guard? He still looked like he was in great shape for his age on video.
