| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Jake Shields, five-time world champion of MMA. |
| 0:04.0 | But I'm not just talking about fighting anymore. |
| 0:06.2 | So if you're tired of the same filtered BS on mainstream media, this is the podcast for you. |
| 0:11.4 | Every episode I bring on wild range of guests from top fighters, combat sports legends, to political firebrands, controversial thinkers, religious and culture voices, and people most shows won't touch. |
