Hey guys, it's Jake Shields, five-time world champion of MMA.

But I'm not just talking about fighting anymore.

So if you're tired of the same filtered BS on mainstream media, this is the podcast for you.

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.

We've had everyone from Black Hebrew Israelis breaking down their beliefs to big name commentators,

dropping truth bombs on politics, current events, and real power structures running things.

No topics are off limits, conspiracies, history, fighting, culture wars, you name it.

We go there, unfiltered.

If you want raw, honest conversations to actually challenge the narrative, follow my podcast.

Check out Fight Back with Jake Shields.

Boss, what's the most dreaded question that you can get when you tell people you host a podcast called the lapsed fan?

Ugh, it's, what is it about?

And why is that, do you think?

Because to like pro wrestling is to lose the respect of others.

Now, what if we told you there's a podcast that explains exactly why that is, and why it's

kind of deserved?

For over a decade, we've taken fact-finding missions through the thicket of half-truths that is and why it's kind of deserved. For over a decade, we've taken fact-finding

missions through the thicket of half-truths that is wrestling history. We watch old matches,

call out carnies, laugh at our own jokes, and have so much fun doing it that some people actually

can't handle it. Think wrestling is an escape from real life? Think again.

Same powered games, same office politics, same people lying to your face, just with entrance music and absolutely no company health insurance under any circumstances.

All I offer is opportunity, not benefits.
