I seen a couple an episode of the show on KDOC in L.A. The episode was good. It was on the Gracie family – the academy and the family history. I liked it, although Tiki was one of the interviewers and he’s kind of boring to listen to.
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...

I saw that the first episode of this is a tribute to Helio Gracie….
