The hosts discuss personal holiday experiences, the intense physical and social dynamics of Jiu-Jitsu tournaments (specifically 10th Planet Eclipse), and the risks of infections like MRSA. They also cover business updates for their cannabis brand Propen and merchandise line High & Hungry, while sharing anecdotes about street fights, video games, and internet content algorithms.
Key takeaways 4
Jiu-Jitsu Team Duel Format: The 10th Planet Eclipse tournament uses a 'Team Duel' rule set where teams of five have a combined weight limit (e.g., 825 lbs). Matches continue until a submission or time expires; if all five members draw, an 'EBI' (Eddie Bravo Invitational) overtime round is used to determine a winner, which involves specific positional attacks and escape rules.
MRSA Risk in Wrestling: MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a severe concern in grappling sports. It can enter through small skin openings and cause rapid, life-threatening facial swelling. Prevention involves strict hygiene, avoiding touching the face, and immediate antibiotic treatment if symptoms appear.
Content Algorithm Reality: Modern social media algorithms prioritize engagement tricks (like long captions on short videos) over production quality. High-effort content often underperforms compared to low-effort, accessible content designed to keep viewers watching longer.
Propen Brand Availability: The 'Flavors by Eone' collaboration with Propen is available at specific Catalyst locations (Bellflower, Elmonte, Cherry Long Beach, Hammett), Goat Global (South LA, Eureka), Cake House (San Bernardino), Nug Hub (Lake Elsinore), Green Angel 818, Green Moon on Pico, Foreign on Pico, and The Healing Center in Needles, Arizona.
