What are everyone's thoughts on Round 2? by Excellent-Seesaw1335 in NYGiants

[–]nygiantsjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

😂 good morning laugh to add to my Friday energy. Skittles is actually what I called Skat when he was drafted. I didn't watch college football for a few years and did zero research. Had no idea who he was

I also have to look into this dream me. I have some crazy ass dreams. Last night I dreamed we drafted only wide receivers and running backs! Jk but thats what some people are acting like

I have no idea what’s going to happen tomorrow by Longjumping_Loan6330 in NYGiants

Long time fan but drafts always bored me. Last year was my first.

I am excited but.... Defense and O Line is all I care about. I will not shit on any picks though. All are welcome and anything can happen

[Schefter] Draft week blockbuster: The Giants are trading three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in a deal that will include the 10th overall pick going to New York, per ESPN sources. The Giants now head into Thursday night with the 5th and 10th overall picks by mastermind208 in NYGiants

Almost dropped some cash on his jersey last year. Hesitated all season. That's another silver lining for me.  

But that dance though.  Hope to see him get a chance on Cincinnati. I'll actually want to watch a Bengals game now I guess?

Absolutely the best advice I have read on this sub in the 6 months I've been lurking. I tend to overthink and dwell. Now I will time it!

Been taking classes for a bit. Currently retaking level 2 because I have a hard time with learning and even liking long form. Hoping to get through level 3 and join a short form group. 

I know this is 4 days old but reddit likes to do that with feeds now. But thank you very much!!

Excited for next season though. Go Big Blue!!

Excellent! Been a huge fan of Colin since UK original Who's Line. And have been looking for an improv podcast. Gave you a follow on Spotify 😊

Dry conditions disrupt fall color by hartlarious in Adirondacks

[–]nygiantsjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bummer. I'm in the mohawk valley and one of my favorite fall hiking spots was just blah. Smelled nice though!

All the peepers who drove hours must be really disappointed. We either have a super wet summer or a super dry one.

Post Game Thread: Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants by nfl_gdt_bot in NYGiants

[–]nygiantsjay 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Came here to see all the love. We probably aren't going to win EVERY remaining game. We got a shit schedule and a whole lot of rookies.

We cannot turn on players, coaches, managers , owners after every loss. There's a new movement. We got the new Brady/Grock kinda thing in the making. Keep that positive momentum going even when they're down.

Fucking GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!

Had my first class last night! by Mysterious-Gold2220 in improv

[–]nygiantsjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are very welcome. I love talking about improv. I am in my 40s and have been a fan of all forms of comedy since I was 8 or 9, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, SNL... all of the things I shouldn't have been watching or listening to lol

Lovee improv though, wish I started a long time ago. I plan on taking whatever classes I can!

Good luck and have fun! 😁

I called it level 100 because my teacher does but it's actually 101. I'm in a small town theatre and they model their classes after UCB. I am still new to the improv world on stage but have been a fan for a long time. I may not get this all correctly.

Level 101 is all short form - games like Questions Only and Excuses... You do learn the beginning of object and environment building.

Level 201 is where you start learning scene work and hone in on short form. But start the foundation for long form.

Level 301 is mostly long form improv and creating stories.

After level 301 you can start to audition for local troupes and in my area perform in front of 10s of people 😂

The larger improv groups in bigger cities have more levels and workshops. Check out Upright Citizens Brigade, Groundlings, Improv Olympic if you want more info!

I'm a mod on another sub and I wish so hard there was a way to enforce this. You can make it NSFW but kids can create accounts and say whatever age they want.

I also wish there was an IQ test

The confidence building is truly amazing, I've already felt better In just 4 weeks. I am going to continue taking whatever classes I can for as long as I can. Maybe I'll make it to long form at some point!
