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.

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
