Jason Lee – Underground Fighter | K.O.T.S. Champion | Professional Mixed Martial ArtistJason Lee is a fierce competitor born from hardship and shaped by resilience. Raised in a turbulent family environment, Jason's early life took him through the rough neighborhoods of Charlestown and Lawrence, Massachusetts—places where struggle was part of the daily routine. Despite the chaos around him, Jason stood out as a gifted athlete, driven by a mantra he still lives by: “Ignore the pain, make the play.” At age 12, tragedy struck when he lost his older brother in a motorcycle accident. The loss shattered him, sending his life into a downward spiral that eventually led to a hard eight-year sentence in Colorado's state prison system—an experience he refers to as “gladiator school.” But prison didn't break Jason—it forged him. Upon release, he emerged as a changed man, both mentally and physically, committed to leaving his past behind. The one thing he carried with him was his passion for combat. Recognizing his natural talent and the discipline he'd developed behind bars, Jason redirected his energy into something positive: mixed martial arts. Jason then took fighting to the next level as a 2 Colorado State Champ Amateur, Sparta Undefeated Light Heavyweight World Champion, 2010 Colorado Fighter of the Year, 2015 Colorado Muay Thai Fighter of the Year, In 2024 Jason was inducted in the Sparta Sports and ENT Hall of Fame. Now a known force in the underground fighting circuit and a standout in King of the Streets (K.O.T.S.), Jason “The Dragon” Lee channels his past into every fight—fueled by grit, sharpened by pain, and driven by purpose. Tune in as Jason Lee joins Bobby Marshall in studio to discuss K.O.T.S.

Paul Revere Didnt Shout Out The British Are Coming As Shared By Kostya Kennedy In The Ride

On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and staunch anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on the most famous horse ride in American history. A century later it inspired the poem and legend of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." But the story is deeper and richer than we've all assumed. Acclaimed writer and editor Kostya Kennedy, through extraordinary and extensive research, has uncovered new and enlightening information on that amazing - including the women who were involved and African Americans in Boston - event presented now in his new book, THE RIDE: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (St. Martin's Press, On Sale Date 3/25/25, $30.00). Revere was not the only rider on the night of April 18, 1775, but he was by far the most critical. The Patriots best and most trusted "express rider" he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years following - as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding tales. In THE RIDE, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of Revere's ride, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. What he found are never before, or rarely, discussed events, before and after the ride, including: *On the night of the ride, Paul Revere was already the go-to rider for the revolution, called upon to make the most critical rides: in December 1773 he rode hundreds of miles south to New York and Philadelphia to deliver news of The Boston Tea Party.*Revere never said, "The British are coming!" during the ride.*On the night of the ride, Revere rode on a borrowed horse that was then taken from him by British officers; Revere never saw the horse again.*The "sea," in "one if by land, two if by sea," refers to the Charles River.*Revere intentionally did not carry his pistol on the night of the ride, which may have saved his life.*At the start of the ride, Revere was rowed quietly over the Charles River from Boston to Charlestown, along the way eluding lookouts stationed on a British warship.*Other riders galloped through the countryside that night carrying the alarm and nearly all of them were set in motion by Revere's alarm.*Only one other rider departed from Boston, William Dawes, who left over land across Boston Neck; as Dawes got past British guards he pretended he was a drunk country bumpkin. Kennedy's work shows the Revere ride to be vastly more complex than is usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters, capture by British forces, and ultimately success. While Paul Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, the author reveals the myriad other men - and women! - who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America's independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic heart-stopping narrative, THE RIDE re-tells the essential American story of our nation's awakening for a new generation of readers. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay can't decide whose car to take before going out and hurting some people, as they talk about 'The Town.' Andy opens up the ep about a drunken family member who lived in Charlestown, where the movie takes place, and how they got themselves in a terrifying situation that went viral. Then the fellas kick things off by dumping on the city of Boston, the annoying inhabitants of the city, and the grating accent that makes everyone sound like retahhds. There's also deep talks about the attractiveness of Ben Affleck — who is next level yoked for his role as a sober bank thief — and Blake Lively, who captured our hearts with her trailer trash chic portrayal that did little to mask just how beautiful she actually is. Of course we have to mention Jeremy Renner's loose cannon Gem, who deservedly gets all the love. It's a damn fine movie that falls short of masterpiece territory thanks to committing too much time to a love story no one cares about, and some clunky dramatic beats such as Affleck's character relapsing and choosing to do so in an abandoned bus. Check out the ep, it'll have you more excited than seeing shirtless juiced out Affleck doing pull ups.

You hear about it all the time. A team goes from the bottom of the league to championship contenders. A failing company suddenly becomes the industry gold standard.  The media calls it a “culture shift,” but let's be real, culture doesn't change overnight. It erodes over time when bad habits go unchecked, just like it improves through intentional action. The problem? Most people don't have the stomach for what it really takes to make that shift happen. Changing culture isn't about slogans, feel-good retreats, or corporate trust falls. It's about confronting hard truths, cutting through excuses, and being willing to fight the battles no one else will. If you think you can just throw a motivational speech at the problem and watch everything transform, you're in for a rude awakening.  In today's episode, we break down exactly what it takes to rewrite the DNA of an organization—without the fluff, the gimmicks, or the hand-holding. In today's episode, Brett dives into: What culture actually is and how to clarify the outcome you're after How to diagnose the root cause of a toxic culture—not just slap a band-aid on the symptoms The exact questions we use to pinpoint the real issues when consulting with teams The dangerous consequences of avoidance and the illusion of “false harmony” Practical, process-driven steps you can take right now—no matter your position in the hierarchy Got a question or a topic you'd like us to cover? If this episode resonated with you, let us know at artofcoaching.com/question.

Even the best leaders need a coach—but too often, they're too busy to seek one out. That's where we come in. Think of us as your shadow advisor—a real, human sounding board who challenges your thinking, offers a fresh perspective, and isn't afraid to be your devil's advocate. We help uncover blind spots and push you toward better decisions, whether you're running a small business, leading a pro sports team, or making moves in a Fortune 500 company. If you're serious about growth, let's talk. artofcoaching.com/mentoring. Master the Skill No One Thinks About, But Everyone Needs No one wakes up thinking, I need to improve my communication. But we all want less drama, more productivity, and to stop wasting time. The key? Sharpening how you communicate. Think of it like a martial art—you'll never perfect it, but the better you get, the more powerful you become. That's why we created The Apprenticeship—a hands-on, no-fluff training to help you navigate conflict, influence others, and lead with impact.

Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

This week on "Shat the Movies," we're hitting the rink with Slap Shot (1977), the ultimate hockey comedy! Join us as we dive into this rowdy, irreverent film about a struggling minor league hockey team and their eccentric players, led by the unforgettable Paul Newman. We'll break down the film's mix of humor, sports action, and its over-the-top characters. Whether you're a hockey fan or just in it for the laughs, get ready for a fun discussion about this cult classic that still scores today! Plot Summary: In the small New England town of Charlestown, the local mill is about to lay off 10,000 workers. The town's minor league hockey team, the Charlestown Chiefs, is doing no better. After years of failure, this will be the team's last season. Exasperated player and coach Reggie Dunlop (Paul Newman) lets the club's recent acquisitions, the Hanson Brothers, play. The brothers' actively violent and thuggish style of play excites the fans. Dunlop retools the team, using violence to draw big crowds. Commissioned by Jon W.

The terrified survivors of a murderous mutiny aboard the Cuban schooner Nuestra Señora sailed from the Bahamas under the command of a hired English pilot in mid-June 1734. They sought to return to Havana with no questions asked, but the crew's curious behavior alerted the new captain to mortal danger ahead. A secret pact forged in desperation spawned a violent counter-mutiny that spilled more blood and further depleted the crew, forcing the weakened schooner to make an emergency detour to the British port of Charles Town (now Charleston), South Carolina.
