The Great Rickson Gracie

Very proud of you. You composed yourself well, and your genuine excitement was palpable.

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...

What a great guy. Legend. And how the interview went down with Eddie and Joe was perfect. The questions. Listening to the old stories. His thoughts on modern day life. It had it all. How did it come about that you were part of the interview Eddie? Did Joe just ask you?

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 :)

I'd still like to see him on yours Eddie! Study the JJGF website and rules, and tell him you will give a serious 30 minutes to just discussing and analyzing why he thinks this will be significantly different from IBJJF. It seems just IBJJF without advantage and some minus points for subjective stalling. Get more in depth on this community concept. 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 :)

Wow - Awesomeness !!

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 course

If he's on EBR, you should show him some EBI matches to show how well the format works!
