Perfect description

[@AlpiusTheNatty]

The hosts are so slow...

[@nathanfranckhauser]

This is the most amazing observation. It's uncomfortable to watch.

[@cianelliott2947]

I wonder whether Joe rogan has stopped asking why Craig has scheduled the event on the same weekend as ADCC yet?

[@ebbs0000]

Joe's really fuckin stupid. He missed 99% of Craig's jokes as well.

[@natwilliams4076]

​​@@ebbs0000it's crazy to me that as a "comedian " so much goes straight over his head. He has one way conversations where hes waiting to insert talking points. It obviously helps im Australian but i would have thought comedy was universal.

[@timw4432]

It was so fucking infuriating. Joe is such a tard

[@kmolnardaniel]

the best joke from joe was when he said he never seen in his life 1 million in cash or EVEN ON CHECK. Like wtf, dude, we know how much you make from spotify.

Craig Jones "Nose Beer Enthusiast" in the name card is amazing

The changing of Craig's titles during the show was a nice touch.

@@ryu-ken shows you how mediocre Joe actually is- that & the effects of abusing drugs for decades

[@Swides1965]

Rogan was obviously not going to get behind this because he’s friends with all the ADCC people. He was supportive of Craig making a tourney but was like “why you gotta mess with my friends?”

[@johnm3178]

Craig is like a 10th degree black belt in trolling. 95% of what he says, you can't take seriously or you are just opening yourself up for another joke. Just like he is a master of laying traps in BJJ, he is also a master at laying traps on the mic.

[@nichfran]

This was a super fun interview. CJ is so funny! And good the boys played the straight bat to his knuckleballs

[@edwindiaz8075]

Love knowing Craig is a fan of the mulldog and ctown

[@chrislebrato2341]

Yea, man….he’s mentioned Nicky Millions a few times over the years…Craig probably respects the mastery of “Nicole Mullens” or those website domains Nick use to buy back in the day.

[@wearetheremnant777]

The “mystery investor” is Mitch Burgess owner of Oscar & Frank sunglasses and Australian BJJ black belt. Craig has an El Segundo Podcast episode with him recapping ADCC Asia Trials.
