Happy New Year, y'all. I hope your New Year's resolution is to listen to more Off the Mats Podcast. On this episode I welcome a teammate and friend, Bryan C. as we enjoy the flavorful Cava Antigua tequila. We briefly discuss loop chokes and wristlocks before we jump into talks about the DC Comics Holy Trinity, our best guess at the MCU's future & its confusion from comic to film, Keanu Reeves, and Scarlet Witch. I'm gonna be honest, we're all over the place. Do your best to keep up.

I want to start by apologizing for the low volume on the episode. My volume wasn't adjusted and I was not aware until after. I did make an attempt at fixing it, though. On this episode, I welcome friend and fellow grappler, Joe Huggins. We jumped topics way too often and almost without warning, Of those topics, we discuss "Essential" MCU films, coaching and teaching, properly chewing food, and The Mandalorian. Get buckled in and prepare for a low volume ride all over the place.
