Game Plan Fri, 08 May 2026 20:23:16 -0400 https://gameplanthepod.buzzsprout.com en-us © 2026 Game Plan yes 83641520-b6bc-5710-a904-40acd9847111 Davis & Juico episodic true Sure, this started as a podcast about Jiu Jitsu, but let’s be honest, we talk about everything. Training, injuries, gym culture… but also hunting, tech, life outside the mats, and whatever else we’re obsessing over that week.


If you’ve ever gone to open mat and stayed two hours after just to talk about your heart rate data, supplements, or whether deer feel fear this is your kind of pod.


No hard rounds here. Just good convos, occasional wisdom, and a lot of off-topic detours.

We get into how she found jiu-jitsu, what it’s like training in Austin, the difference between traditional schools and Danaher’s room, and why Pilates might actually be one of the most underrated tools for grapplers.  

We also talk through mobility vs stability, neck training, common injuries in jiu-jitsu, bad posture from phones and screens, and why so many people are training around problems they don’t fully understand. Shelly breaks down how she works with athletes, what she sees on the mat, and why a lot of fighters could move and recover way better with the right approach.  

The second half of this one goes into some deeper territory too — mental health, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, emotional stress, and how all of that can show up in the body. We also get into some more out-there ideas around biofields, vibration, modern health, diet, and why jiu-jitsu helps so many people far beyond just the physical side of training.  

This one’s part movement talk, part rehab talk, part life talk — and a really fun episode all around.

We kick off the conversation with a potential connection between ADCC founder Sheik Tahnoon and Jeffery Epstein. Paul then takes us onto the frontlines of his two trips to Ukraine, where he delivered critical equipment like drones to units like the 93rd Brigade and witnessed the reality of modern warfare first-hand.

We wrap up by discussing the concept of "sportswashing" (or "martial arts washing") how powerful entities use sports to shift public perception. Paul also shares his latest personal pivot into the grueling world of endurance athletics.

In this episode of Game Plan, Davis and Juico start with the lighter side of life, recounting the chaotic saga of Juico’s dog, Pete, getting sprayed by a skunk—before diving into the grueling reality of weight cutting in combat sports.

At the thirty-minute mark, the tone shifts as we address the systemic issue of sexual misconduct within grappling. Davis shares his own personal experiences encountering predators on the mats and provides a concise timeline of the major scandals that have rocked the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community.

We discuss the "hero worship" culture that places coaches and athletes on pedestals, often allowing them to exploit and abuse their positions for decades. It is time to purge the sport of these individuals and instead elevate those who lead with integrity, such as Lachlan Giles. The "fear" that the sport will crumble without its "icons" is a myth—there will be plenty of high-level talent left once the predators are ousted. We conclude with a call for mandatory safeguarding training for gym owners and coaches to ensure the next generation is protected.

Nick started his businesses in the California Bay Area as a videographer, marketer and motion graphics artist. He recently moved to Austin, Texas and has since shifted his focus to financial coaching, content creation and podcasting.

"Region Beta" refers to the Region-Beta Paradox, a psychological phenomenon that is frequently discussed by podcaster Chris Williamson on his show, Modern Wisdom.

The core idea is that people often remain stuck in a state of comfortable complacency because a situation is "not bad enough" to force them to change, but also not good enough for them to truly flourish.

Nick argues that many people with financial struggles are stuck in the region beta paradox and that they would actually benefit if their situation was worse, forcing them to make changes.

We also talk about fitness, CrossFit and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

After years working in this industry, Will decided to start his own business by selling used American Bourbon barrels to markets outside the USA. He currently owns and operates Bluebonnet Barrel Company in Austin, Texas.

Bourbon is a uniquely American spirit made from at least 51% corn mash and aged in charred white oak barrels. The legal definition for bourbon requires a single use of the charred oak barrel, meaning once a bourbon barrel is used, it cannot be used again to make bourbon. The barrels themselves however have plenty of "life" left in them and can be used to age other spirits and whiskeys. Markets worldwide buy these used American Bourbon barrels to age spirits. Will has found his market niche in supplying international buyers with used American Bourbon barrels. 

In this episode, Will takes Davis and Juico through a whiskey tasting consisting of Japanese Whiskey, Bourbon and Rye.

Here we have black belt, 2x ADCC trails winner, and long time homie, William Tackett.

In this episode we dive into what it's like being a UFC BJJ athlete and talk about the decision to move to Las Vegas versus staying and training at your home gym. We break down what makes Vegas such a hotspot for fighters, what’s best for athletes trying to build their careers, and what's best for the sport. 

Then in stark contrast from the professionals, we dive in to revisit Juico’s very first competition match at a Tap Cancer Out charity event.

Whether you’re into Jiu Jitsu or MMA, professional or hobbyist, this pod starts off for the nerds of the sport and ends for the casuals with a good ol' white belt match review.

Hope y'all enjoy.

Also it was great way to test our set design, if you can call it that? I've never really built out a set for a pod by myself before so cam placements, lighting, and sound control was all pretty new to me.

This room looks pretty ridiculous but were making the best with what we got folks.
