  • Off the Mats #11- The Ballad of Anubis

    What's up everybody, we've returned once again with a delayed episode as I had a lot of technical difficulty getting this one together. Never fear, though, I figured it out. My guest this episode is a teammate, an airman, a gamer, and he lost an eye and found it. I present to you....Jarrod aka Cyclops. Jarrod and I discuss what brought him into jiu jitsu and the martial arts world, the amazing story of how he got the name "Cyclops" and how crazy he is, and his passion for video games and people. So go ahead and download this, sit back and relax or do some chores. Live your life.

    Also, you can find Jarrod on Instagram at @jarrod_anubis and give a follow on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/AnubisGaming23

    Welcome back to another week of our weekly routine. Things are back to normal and the episodes will be back to once per week. My guest for this episode is a martial artist, stand up comedian, pro wrestling fan, and friend. I present to you... Matt Savage. In our discussion, we actually talk a lot about jiu jitsu and Matt's recent promotion to BJJ Blue Belt. We also go over our experiences on the mat as former teammates and since the last time we've rolled, as well as Matt's comedy experience, some deeper talks about WWE and AEW, and heel tendencies. So, charge your earbuds, saddle up, and join us for a fun ride. And please feel free to comment and let us know how we're doing. What works and what doesn't.
    You can send any questions or comments to @offthematspodcast on Instagram & Facebook. I'm on Twitter, but not really.
    Thank you for listening. I appreciate all of your downloads and attention.

    Welcome back everyone. My guest for this episode is another member of the Nerd Rage Radio (NRR) collective, Maryland Phil aka The Dinosaur Kid. Our primary discussion is focused on the recent release of New Mutants, a film made by 21st Century Fox and released by Marvel Studios and Disney. If you plan on seeing the film and don't want spoilers... avoid this episode. Otherwise, we discuss the film's plot and character arcs, we talk about more comic book matters that include my missed attempt at owning Wolverine's first appearance, my time in Newark, DE like Maryland Phil, and Dunkle, and we even talk a little about jiu jitsu and my colostomy. So get settled in and prepare for conversation that jumps from one topic to the next without warning. Thank you everyone for listening and if you have any questions or concerns or want to join me, contact me at @offthematspodcast or @bjj.wiki on Instagram. You can also find Maryland Phil keeping us updated on Nerd Rage Radio news on Twitter (@nerdragecast).

    Hey everybody, we're back once again with another episode this week. On this episode I have another longtime friend sharing pod space with me. Matt and I sat with the intention of talking Week 1 of the NFL season, but ended up talk about Maryland football being terrible, jiu jitsu and getting Matt back into it, how terrible we are at fantasy baseball, and the Red Wings being the only bright spot in Detroit sports history. So get settled in and prepare for conversation that jumps from one topic to the next without warning, as usual. You can also find Matt's wife's IGTV program playing now on Instagram. It's called @chickensatlunch. Thank you everyone for listening and if you have any questions or concerns or want to join me, contact me at @offthematspodcast or @bjj.wiki on Instagram. Also, I want to shout out my good friends over at Jiu Jitsu Happy Hour on Youtube and @powerxcore_llc on Instagram. Give them a look.

  • Off the Mats #7.5
    And we're back with Part 2 or 7.5 of what we labeled #ColomptonMafia. Stevie and I continue our music conversation as we slip further down the rabbit hole and talk about shows that we've gone to. We also talk about who's hot in music today and finally a discussion about jiu jitsu and Steve having to sign the waiver.
    As always, thank you everyone for listening to the rants of a crazy kid from Maryland. Please, check us out on Instagram at @offthematspodcast if you're interested in chatting or have some constructive criticism. I can also be found on @bjj.wiki, primarily. Give me some feedback or leave a review on iTunes. Otherwise, stay safe and thanks.

    Welcome back, y'all!!! This week, I'm excited to have one of my oldest friends on as a guest. Just a head's up... It's a two parter. Stevie and I get into tales of "Remember When...?" and music. Very little jiu jitsu or MMA is discussed on this part, but we had a great time and some good laughs. So join us as we go back to the 90's and chat about our obscure music habits and my desire to start an OnlyFans page.
