In this debut episode, I sit with my teammate and friend, Mark and discuss our different styles of grappling. We also get off topic and discuss what 20th Century Fox did with the X-Men franchise versus what Marvel Studios did and what Warner Bros. is doing with the DC Comics properties. When listening, you'll see that we're still working out the kinks, but still have a good time and circle back to BJJ and Saved By the Bell. Thanks all for listening and if you want to join the show for a discussion, feel free to contact @offthematspodcast on Instagram or Facebook.
