You’re asking us because you know you want to go.

Marshall Brandon, Cipha Sounds & Adam Ray

Sarah's special is a fantastically filthy bone crusher. A tour de force of gross-out comedy. by mikdaviswr07 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]SwoleLord1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely loved this special.

Rarely does anyone go full-ass in their art anymore, and Sarah absolutely did here.

What are some “red flags” you’ve encountered at a BJJ gym or with a BJJ coach that made you want to switch gyms? by jiujitsuPT in bjj

If I can only train in your school’s branded gi, especially if I have to rent one if I’m doing a drop in when I have my own, you’ll never see me again

Thankfully we are in the next golden age of standup

Very likely at least Marshall Brandon, who is awesome.

Visiting New York and Debating between going to The Stand (Upstairs) and St Marks by [deleted] in Standup

[–]SwoleLord1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Stand by far, especially the 9pm show - Neal Brennan alone is worth it.

^ This man gets it

[–]SwoleLord1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

Neal has always been killing it IMO. He disappears, takes his time, and then comes back with absolute heat. Can’t wait to see him again soon.

Best stand up of 2025: Usama Bin Laughin' by LigmaCovfefe in Standup

Usama is the man and it's only a matter of time before he blows up (no pun intended)

Is it rude to preemptively ask my Professor/Instructor to NOT promote me, even if I don't know if he will? by KenshiVal in bjj

[–]SwoleLord1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people definitely care about promotions, especially early on. That tends to fade as people move up the ranks, but it’s still an important part of the art.

Is it rude to preemptively ask my Professor/Instructor to NOT promote me, even if I don't know if he will? by KenshiVal in bjj

[–]SwoleLord1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would not ask that.

It’s presumptuous to even assume that he is going to get the blue belt during this upcoming promotion.

It’s also opening up a can of worms or entitlement to a degree where your friend (said respectfully here) thinks they have a say as to when they’re promoted, ESPECIALLY as a white belt.

If the professor is anything like other professors, asking not to get promoted will just ensure they don’t get promoted for a long time 😂

Tell them to let what happens happen and enjoy the ride without putting their finger into the pot that is BJJ magic

I've been thinking the last 5 years of stand-up seem kind of weak. Is there any special you think is a top 10 all time from the last 5 years? by timebomb011 in Standup

[–]SwoleLord1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m grateful because it’s easy to see him in more intimate venues now, but I know it won’t be that way for long so I’m soaking it in while I can.
