Welcome back, this is episode 31 of the Degen BJJ Podcast. This week Mike has nothing to say but still manages to talk for a prolonged period of time with minimal encouragement. Ken tells a story about Weymouth, despite having just returned from Portugal. Comp prep has started for the lads, but that doesn’t mean the podcast will be anymore focused.
