James and Zach are two sober guys who do jiujitsu in LA. They interview people in recovery from addiction, people who do jiujitsu, and... when the stars align... people who do both.

Episode 14: The Prova Teórica
Cow Sweat, Blue Belts, and the "Am I a Piece of Shit?" Neural Superhighway
Grab your mushroom coffee (or your regular "VC Bro" espresso) and settle in, because Episode 14 is a certified LA fever dream.
This week, Coach James and White Belt Zach (if you're nasty) dive deep into the ethics of expensive grocery stores and why milk suddenly tastes like cow sweat. Zach recounts his grueling Prova Teórica—the legendary Brazilian written Jiu-Jitsu test—while James flexes his 27-year-old biological age thanks to some fancy bloodwork.
But it’s not all armbars and adaptogens. The boys get real about the "Pink Cloud" of sobriety, the struggle of feeling "too good," and why our brains are hardwired for self-flagellation even when life is finally going right. From the politics of Amazon to the "Imperial Boomerang," we’re covering it all with the grace of a white belt in a scissor sweep.
