Ep 265 Ralph Gracie Career Drive
Ralph Gracie joins us to discuss the Wild West days of what will later become Mixed Martial Arts.
Ralph Gracie black belt and BJJ pioneer Allan “Gumby” Marques joins us as we take a look into the life and career of a man that generally does NOT do interviews.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
