Podcasts about Drago

A Real American – Born in Poland. In this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus & Melanie meet with Drago Dzieran, a former political prisoner for his activism against Communism. After arriving in the United States unable to speak English, Drago eventually became a US citizen, enlisted in the U.S. Navy and trained to serve as a Navy SEAL. In Iraq, he fought in over 100 combat missions as the Naval Special Warfare Lead Breacher. Drago was awarded Bronze Star with “V” for valor, Navy Commendation Medal with “V” for valor, in addition to other various awards and decorations. Following his honorable retirement after twenty years in the Navy, Dzieran began a successful career as a software engineer. Drago founded the Navy SEALs Fund, a nonprofit with the mission of providing support for all generations of current, retired, and former UDT/SEAL teammates, their immediate dependents as well as Gold Star Families. Listen in as Drago shares his amazing life journey from Poland to living life as a real American in service to others.  In This Episode You Will Hear: • I was born in communist Poland. It was actually a socialist state run by communists. My father was part of the evil system. • I'm not Polish-American; I am not “Something”-American. There is no hyphen. I'm just American. • I spent 20 years as a Navy SEAL. • [My grandmother] taught me how to pray, and what to pray for. • I still remember her [grandmother's] words: “Poland is not free. It will not be free until we get rid of these people. • [When my father found out] I was not allowed to pray with my grandmother alone. • Prison time for me was education. A huge education about Polish history. • I'll be the best US citizen America can have. • The law was created in the socialist state to penalize free thinking. To criminalize opposition. • America was built on the idea of personal freedom. • These people [Ukranians] are fighting for their lives now - freedom. • Ukranians were always very patriotic. • [Navy SEALS Fund] The way we operate is different than most charities. We don't have paid positions. The fund is run by SEALS only. • We help the Gold Start families: the spouse, the children, parents and siblings. There would be no Drago if not for people like Marcus, Morgan, Rob, Tage, Taco, & Jocco. • I'm a better American today than I was yesterday, and I want to be a better American tomorrow than I am today. • My biggest accomplishment is becoming a U.S. citizen.

In this episode, Dave, Rob, and Kurt step into the ring with Rocky IV (1985), one of the most over-the-top and iconic entries in the franchise. We'll dive into the big questions fans have debated for decades: did Rocky single-handedly solve the Cold War with his fists and an inspiring speech? And when it comes to Apollo Creed's tragic death at the gloves of Ivan Drago, who really shoulders the blame—Apollo himself, Rocky for not throwing in the towel, or the unstoppable force that was Drago? Along the way, we'll look at how this film turned boxing into a symbol of global politics and gave audiences a hero who could seemingly take on an entire superpower. Of course, no discussion of Rocky IV is complete without talking about the montages—the heart-pumping, sweat-drenched, music-driven sequences that might just be the best in movie history. From training in the Siberian wilderness to Drago's high-tech gym sessions, the film pushes the art of the montage to new heights, all set against a killer 80s-inspired soundtrack packed with arena-rock anthems that defined the decade. Join us as the three of us break down the movie, its legacy, and whether this slice of 80s cinema magic is more than just cheesy patriotism wrapped in a boxing glove.

La infidelidad no es un accidente, es una decisión. Fin del cuento.Hernán Drago lo dijo claro: “si pienso en una tercera persona, algo mal sucede y hay que hablarlo”.¿Qué hacer si te cuesta sostener la fidelidad? Ser coherentes, hablar claro, no prometer lo que no vas a cumplir. Eso es respeto contigo y con tu pareja.Había que decirlo. Compártelo y déjame tu opinión en los comentarios.

Tokratna oddaja je nastala na Opčinah pri Trstu, pri znanem rojaku Dragu Štoki. Po izobrazbi je pravnik, deloval je kot odvetnik, a je veliko svojih moči in svojega časa posvetil naši narodni skupnosti, in sicer v edini slovenski stranki v Italiji – Stranki slovenska skupnost. Boril se je za samostojno politično nastopanje Slovencev in bil kar štirikrat izvoljen za deželnega poslanca. V letih 2005 do 2015 je bil predsednik ene od krovnih organizacij, Sveta slovenskih organizacij. Iskal je stike in povezave s slovensko manjšino na avstrijskem Koroškem. Močno je zaznamoval proces demokratizacije Slovenije. Je avtor več knjižnih del. Vedno je bil zvest zvestobi svojemu narodu, demokratičnemu prepričanju, globokim krščanskim izročilom in vsestranski svobodi v mišljenju, idealih in dejanjih. Vedno se je zavzemal za dialog in sodelovanje. Prejel je Pučnikovo plaketo za prispevek k razvoju demokracije v Sloveniji, medaljo Republike Slovenije za zasluge za dobrobit zamejskih Slovencev, naroda in jezika in plaketo dr. Danila Majarona, najvišje priznanje Odvetniške zbornice Slovenije.

Olivia talks about her time on Feeld and getting kicked off the app. Tim shares his honeymoon travel stories, which include getting punched by a homeless man.

In this week's episode of Catholic ReCon, testimonies from reverts and converts, Drago Dimitrov shares his journey from skepticism to finding truth in the Catholic Church.

His story is both thought-provoking and inspiring for anyone exploring the big questions of life, truth, and God.In the second half of the conversation, Drago introduces Holy Habits, a new Catholic app designed to help the faithful grow in daily prayer, virtue, and consistency in their spiritual lives.

Yvette Segan, comedian and host of Friend Crush Podcast, joins the pod this week.

This leads to Drago unpacking the origin story of his social anxiety. Yvette discusses why men don't approach female comics as much as women approach male comics, and she also explains how to shoot your shot. Drago admits he's anti-lip filler, and Yvette shares her vices. Talking shop, Yvette breaks down the etiquette for giving tags and shouts out her upcoming tour dates.

We are joined on “CSI Chat” by retired United States Navy SEAL Drago Dzieran. Drago wrote an terrific book entitled “The Pledge to America: One Man's Journey from Political Prisoner to U.S. Navy SEAL”. During our "Chat", Drago and I talk about: The challenges of growing up in Poland under the Communist rule and how we was able to immigrate to the United States. Drago's time in Poland included being locked up as a political prisoner under extremely difficult circumstances. Drago became a US Navy Seal at the age of 31 (which is very old when it comes to a Navy SEAL). Drago talks about surviving the extensive US Navy SEAL training and the notorious “Hell Week”. I hope everyone enjoys our "CSI Chat" with Drago.  

All the way from Canada, Henry Sir joins the pod alongside returning guest Tucker Brookshire. Together, they're two of the coldest white boys Drago knows. The boys jump right in, asking Henry what the culture is like up in the Great White North, and the conversation quickly turns to talk about cigarettes and Zyn – including a story of Alex going home with a woman who pulled out Zyn on their walk home together. Tucker is working to de-optimize his life and taking on the idea of not strangling the goose. The boys talk about whether or not a civil war is looming in America. And the boys answer listener questions, including: What's your go-to road trip snack, and what movie or series would you win trivia about?

This week, the Georgia indie scene delivered chaos, comeback stories, and championship shakeups. From the return of SCA in Royston to a reset in 1FW, we're covering every match, every feud, and every show that had Georgia buzzing.

Today's episode of UFC Unfiltered delivers a powerful mix of rising talent and personal triumph as Jim and Matt welcome UFC featherweight prospect Austin Bashi and DWCS hopeful Jimmy Drago. First up is Bashi, fresh off his first UFC victory — a slick first-round submission over John Yannis. He reflects on bouncing back from his debut loss, chasing a dream he's had since childhood, and what it was like mimicking Alexander Volkanovski in Diego Lopes' camp. Between guests, Jim and Matt break down highlights from UFC Fight Night: Taira vs. Park — including standout performances from Tatsuro Taira, Chris Duncan, Esteban Ribovics, and more. Then, Jimmy Drago joins ahead of his Dana White's Contender Series debut on August 12th. The Yonkers native shares his incredible story — from losing his father, a 9/11 first responder, to battling addiction and surviving eight overdoses. With sobriety, discipline, and grit, Drago turned a goal of just winning one pro fight into a legitimate UFC dream — and he's one win away from making it real when he faces Ty Miller on the first DWCS card of 2025.

They dive deep into the transformative journey of creativity, collaboration, and the personal sacrifices that come with pursuing a career in the arts.Matt shares his story, beginning from his humble beginnings in Virginia, where his passion for acting ignited at a young age. As an artist, Matt recounts the pivotal moments in his life that anchored his commitment to acting, including the importance of mentorship and how mentorship propelled him to consider the vibrant opportunities in Los Angeles, ultimately steering him toward a fruitful career in the film and television industry.Throughout the conversation, Matt shares insights on the inevitability of setbacks in any creative pursuit, the importance of asking tough questions, and the value of surrounding oneself with supportive people. He reflects on the necessity of finding balance between one's passions and personal well-being, underscoring how critical it is to step away and recharge in order to maintain one's creative energy and joy.As the episode draws to a close, Alison and Matt touch on the significance of prioritizing oneself amidst pursuing dreams, capturing Matt's philosophy that true fulfillment comes from enjoying the moment irrespective of external validation. Listeners are left with motivation and practical nuggets of wisdom to stay committed to their passions, seek joy in their endeavors, and recognize that every step of the journey holds value.HIGHLIGHTS:17:13 The Importance of Surroundings20:01 Finding Balance in Life23:37 Advice for the Dreamerconnect with Matt:MattDrago.comMatt's InstagramDragon Hunter ProductionsSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

Comedian and member of Drago's inner circle, Lucas Zelnick, joins the pod. Taking some time off from the road, Lucas shares what he's been learning in acting class. As a new dog dad, he lays out why having a dog is way harder than being a parent—especially when you're working the graveyard shift at the Cellar. Drago tells the story of attending a friend's wedding in New Orleans, which leads the boys to realize: New York City just does it better. Lucas talks about bombing at a recent charity event, and the boys get into tips for wedding speeches—which, oddly enough, leads Drago to learn why his uncle no longer speaks to him.

Long story short: Drago may have won the battle, but his landlord is still scheming to win the war. The conversation turns to roommate stories, and a mutual friend Dwayne (a white man) comes up—who might be one of the funniest humans alive. Naturally, the question of whether it's okay to fart in front of your significant other comes up, and Drago ponders whether or not he could ever live with a woman.  Give Ben a follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shaqkatzner/  And while you're at it, give Sam a follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reallysamevans/  JOIN THE PATREON FOR A WEEKLY BONUS EPISODE AND EARLY ACCESS TO REGULAR EPISODES: https://www.patreon.com/youreanidiot  Buy tickets to Alex's upcoming shows here: https://linktr.ee/alexdrag

We return with Devils and Deaths, one of the most popular Grendel Tales of all. We're introduced to Drago, a Grendel who strives to uphold the honor of the Khan, long after his death. His clan, lead by Vlado, centers around a futbol pitch operated by the local government. When the town begins getting terrorized by a rival clan and an Uber-creature, Drago is the last one who can stand up to their foes...or is he?

Boom shakalaka! Dive into Ep 1,022 of The Clay Edwards Show, July 17, 2025 – 2 hrs of unfiltered reality radio with Clay Edwards firing on free speech, local scandals, & cultural clashes. Kicking off with a passionate defense of uncensored platforms amid AI de-ranking for taboo topics like COVID & crime. Local Roundup: Rudy Warnock's guilty verdict on corruption charges spirals into tragedy – post-trial car wreck & suicide attempt on I-20 near Pelahatchie. Clay unpacks the "victimless" white-collar crime, long federal sentences (20-50 yrs), & painful recovery ahead. Sympathy for family, but accountability stressed: "Nobody deserves that, but suicide isn't the way out." Breaking: Possible raid on Savannah Street – JPD activity, news crews; ties to roadblocks hunting escaped New Orleans prisoner Derek (last seen in MS). "They're doing cop stuff – welcome to the party!" FAFO Champ: Brandon block party shooting (June 21, Mary Miles Dr.) – city-permitted event turns deadly. Ryan Mosley (31) arrested for 1st-degree murder & felon w/ firearm after killing one, injuring another. "Don't go to parties needing a gun – rethink standards for permits!" Shrimp Scandal: Study reveals 30/44 Jackson-area spots serve imported shrimp despite "wild-caught" claims. Kudos to 14 authentic ones (e.g., Drago's, Half Shell, Shaggy's) – call for transparency under new MS labeling law. Immigration Truth Serum: Border chaos blamed on Dems' open policies; regrets good folks caught in crackdown. "No negative Hispanic interactions ever – hard workers, accountable. But illegal entry = crime; come through front door!" Obama's Masculinity Critique: Ex-prez urges men to get gay friends for empathy, share feelings, ditch provider roles, & embrace arts over sports. Clay fires back: "Already have gay alpha friends! This attacks manosphere – ironic from fragile Barry. Distinguish from LGBTQ agenda; assumptions offend conservatives." Epstein Ties: Listener nods to connections & suicides – "Weird how they're linked." Clay's Rants: Offense at sensitivity over words ("gay" as ball-busting, "retard" for stupidity – not targeting disabled). Stereotypes earned; force acceptance backfires (e.g., Redskins name – Indians want it back!). Raw, chaotic vibes on politics, culture, & accountability.
