Lou Valoze helped remove over 1,000 illegal firearms from the streets and played a key role in convicting 300+ violent criminals. He also pioneered the infamous “storefront sting” operations—creating fake tattoo shops, head shops, and military surplus stores to lure in gun traffickers, hitmen, and organized crime figures. His groundbreaking work has been featured on CNN, Discovery, and now in his hit series Operation Undercover on Discovery+ and ID. Lou is also the author of multiple books, including his newest release, Ray Khan: The Betrayal of an Informant.

Former Navy SEAL Remi Adeleke now hunts the people behind the illegal organ trade. In this episode of The AJ Buckley Show, he takes AJ inside that world: how the desperately poor are pressured to sell their organs to survive, and the film he made to expose it. From Nigeria to the Bronx, from the streets to the Navy SEAL Teams, Remi Adeleke's story is almost impossible to believe, and every word of it is real. AJ sits down with Remi, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, author, filmmaker, actor, and human trafficking activist. Born in Nigeria and later raised in the Bronx after his family lost everything, Remi opens up about the journey that took him from struggle, bad decisions, and survival mode to becoming one of America's elite warriors. He joined the Navy in 2002, became a SEAL, and used the discipline and pain of that world to completely transform his life. His memoir, Transformed: A Navy SEAL's Unlikely Journey from the Throne of Africa, to the Streets of the Bronx, to Defying All Odds, tells the story of his rise, fall, redemption, and reinvention. Beyond the military, Remi has built a career as a writer, filmmaker, and actor, appearing in Transformers: The Last Knight, 6 Underground, Ambulance, and Plane. He also wrote and directed The Unexpected, a short film exposing the dark reality of human trafficking and illegal organ harvesting. In this conversation, AJ and Remi get into the organ trade, fighting human trafficking, the Navy SEAL mindset, faith, fatherhood, discipline, redemption, growing up in the Bronx, and what it means to use your story to help others. This is a story about survival, transformation, and purpose, from losing everything to becoming everything he was meant to be.

What starts as a conversation about hunting quickly turns into one of the strangest stories ever told on The AJ Buckley Show. This week, AJ sits down with Zach Phillips, host, producer and outdoor storyteller behind Country Outdoors. A Georgia native, Zach built his career behind the camera producing outdoor television before helping bring Country Outdoors to life. He is an avid hunter and conservationist whose greatest passion is turkey hunting, and his fast-turnaround filming, photography and editing have made him a respected creator throughout the outdoor industry.  Zach shares how Country Outdoors began, what it takes to capture authentic hunting adventures on the road, and how his childhood trapping raccoons, fishing creeks and hunting in South Georgia helped shape his understanding of wildlife and the outdoors.  AJ also opens up about his first hunting trip, the lessons he learned in the field and why the experience gave him a new appreciation for hunting, conservation and the people who live the outdoor lifestyle. Then the conversation takes a bizarre turn when Zach recalls his encounter with a town’s infamous “crazy lady” and her unbelievable collection of more than 10,000 Santa Claus figures—including Santas allegedly made with human teeth. From outdoor television and turkey hunting to first-time hunting stories and one deeply unsettling Christmas collection, this episode goes places nobody expected.

On this episode of The AJ Buckley Show, AJ sits down with Chris Stroup—U.S. Army veteran, former Army Special Operations soldier, and founder of Stroup Knives, a veteran-owned, family-operated company known for producing American-made survival and tactical knives built for real-world use. After serving 11 years in the Army, including time supporting elite Special Operations units, Chris turned one of the hardest transitions of his life into a mission of purpose by building a business dedicated to craftsmanship, leadership, and supporting fellow veterans.  In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Chris opens up about the unseen challenges of coming home from deployment, navigating life after military service, recovering from career-ending injuries, enduring a difficult divorce, and making the heartbreaking decision to leave the Army. He shares the emotional reality of losing the identity that comes with military service—and how discovering purpose through entrepreneurship helped him rebuild his life. Chris also explains how Stroup Knives has become much more than a knife company. By hiring veterans, creating a strong community, and helping others successfully transition into civilian life, he’s proving that business can become a mission that continues long after the uniform comes off. The conversation explores resilience, leadership, mental health, family, discipline, and what it truly means to serve others beyond the battlefield. Whether you’re a veteran, entrepreneur, first responder, or someone searching for purpose after adversity, this episode delivers an honest look at overcoming life’s toughest chapters and forging a new path forward.

Can a single bad decision in Yellowstone really change your life? This week on Unfiltered Friday, AJ Buckley and Sean Morgan break down one of the internet’s wildest weeks yet, starting with a tourist who thought charging a bear was a good idea. From there, things only get stranger. The guys dive into Seattle’s viral “perfectly round” raccoon, a new Loch Ness Monster sighting, two men who discovered they were switched at birth after 38 years, James Franco’s mysterious alien videos, an ancient copy of The Iliad found inside a 1,600-year-old mummy, Russian mystics selling gas-saving spells, robots getting married and teaching classrooms, Luke Skywalker’s iconic lightsaber selling for millions, and the bizarre Louvre mystery that has everyone casting their own heist movie. They also take a thoughtful turn discussing the prediction market with nearly $65 million riding on whether Jesus Christ returns before 2027, leading to a conversation about faith, purpose, and why we’re not promised tomorrow. As always, AJ and Sean kick off the weekend with another Charleston recommendation, highlighting one of the city’s hidden gems, Chez Nous, before wrapping up with a look at what MrBeast’s luxury wedding week on Richard Branson’s private island actually cost.

The Heartbreaking Story Behind Deep Scythe: Jarred Taylor's Tribute to the Friend Who Saw His Potential Before Anyone Else. This week on The AJ Buckley Show, AJ sits down with entrepreneur, Air Force veteran, filmmaker, and bestselling author Jarred Taylor. As the co-founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company, co-founder of Hard AF Seltzer, and co-owner of Nine Line Apparel, Jarred has built some of the most recognizable veteran-founded brands in America. But before any of that, he was a kid obsessed with making videos. Jarred shares how early influences like Bam Margera, CKY, and the DIY filmmaking movement inspired him to pick up a camera long before he ever wore a military uniform. He also reflects on the impact of growing up with a father who served in the U.S. Navy and how that shaped his own decision to join the U.S. Air Force. After leaving the military, Jarred combined his passion for storytelling with his service experience, helping build Black Rifle Coffee’s signature video content and authentic brand identity. Now he’s bringing those same storytelling skills into fiction with his debut novel, Deep Scythe.  https://a.co/d/06I8biwE Jarred takes us behind the scenes of the book, explaining where the story came from, how the unforgettable “Wet Boys” characters were created, and how real-life experiences, humor, and brotherhood found their way into the pages. If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, military culture, filmmaking, creative storytelling, or what it takes to build iconic brands from the ground up, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

What happens when chronic pain takes over your life and traditional medicine offers nothing but surgery and pills? This week on The AJ Buckley Show, AJ sits down with Eric Stoffers, founder and CEO of BioXcellerator Clinic in Medellín, Colombia, the place AJ credits with completely transforming his life and getting him out of debilitating pain. Eric shares his incredible journey from selling Garbage Pail Kids on the playground to opening P.F. Chang's restaurants across America, building a career in real estate, and eventually discovering stem cell therapy while marketing a resort property in Cabo San Lucas. With no medical background and zero scientific training, Eric bet everything on a vision that most investors thought was absolutely insane: building a world class regenerative medicine clinic in Medellín, Colombia, one of the most misunderstood cities in the world. But Eric didn't just build a clinic. He built a place of miracles. A hallway of hope. A sanctuary where people who have been told by doctors they'll never walk again, never be out of pain, never live a normal life, are getting their lives back. AJ opens up about his own journey to BioXcellerator after suffering severe injuries on the set of SEAL Team, losing feeling in his hands, being unable to pick up his kids, and facing the possibility of multiple spinal fusion surgeries that would have ended his career. They also dive into the experience Eric has created, inspired by Richard Branson's philosophy of hospitality, the importance of anti inflammatory protocols before and after treatment, why alcohol and poor diet can sabotage your results, how Eric's team of world class Colombian doctors caught AJ's labrum tear that every American specialist missed, and why Medellín has some of the best trained trauma surgeons and medical infrastructure in the world. This conversation is raw, emotional, and packed with hope. AJ gets visibly choked up talking about what it felt like to run again, to pick up his kids again, to wake up one day and realize the pain was finally gone. If you or someone you love is living with chronic pain, autoimmune disease, neurological conditions, or has been told there's no hope, this episode might just change everything.

What happens when you post 100 videos during a Category 5 hurricane and wake up to 50 million views? This week on The AJ Buckley Show, AJ sits down with Ryan Magin, the disruptor who figured out TikTok before anyone else knew it existed, built million-dollar businesses from his bedroom, and turned chaos into content gold during Hurricane Milton. Ryan shares his incredible journey from BMX pro to retail employee at Lowe's, to pioneering the exact match domain SEO game, building a six-figure fashion empire called Handsome Guy Secrets, and eventually becoming one of the most sought-after content strategists in the creator economy. He's worked with Grant Cardone, Jordan Peterson, Ryan Pineda, and some of the biggest names you can't name because of NDAs. But this conversation goes way deeper than viral videos and view counts. Ryan opens up about losing everything twice to hurricanes, moving his family four times in two years, going from negative $9,000 in his bank account during COVID to building a million-dollar agency, and why he believes posting 10 videos a day for 90 days will change your life forever. AJ and Ryan dive into the creator economy, the clipping phenomenon, why subtitles took over the internet, how AI is reshaping content, what it really takes to go viral, the mental toll of chasing views, and why most business owners are overcomplicating content creation. Ryan breaks down his philosophy on volume, authenticity, disruption, and why your cell phone is the only tool you actually need to build a personal brand that makes money. They also talk about fatherhood, work ethic, betting on yourself, pivoting when life knocks you down, and why being a disruptor is the most important trait you can have in today's world. Whether you're a content creator, business owner, entrepreneur, or someone trying to figure out how to stand out online, this episode is packed with actionable advice, raw honesty, and proof that if you're willing to outwork everyone else, you can build something from nothing. If you've ever wondered how to grow on social media, make money from content, or turn your life around when everything falls apart, this is the episode for you.

This week on Unfiltered Friday, AJ Buckley opens with a heartfelt tribute to 15-year-old Will Roberts, a young man who battled stage four bone cancer with unwavering faith and inspired millions before passing on July 22nd. It's a powerful reminder to cherish every moment and hold your loved ones close. From there, the guys dive into another wild countdown of the week's most bizarre and fascinating stories. They explore the internet's obsession with RH negative blood and theories about aliens, ancient royalty, and Nephilim. They break down the mind-blowing fact that Cleopatra lived closer to the moon landing than to the building of the pyramids, question whether the moon landing actually happened, and discuss why we've never been back. AJ and Sean also react to Elon Musk's prediction that one billion humanoid robots will be walking the Earth within five years, the CIA's 638 documented attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro, the discovery that sharks are older than trees and Saturn's rings, and the latest Bravo drama unfolding right here in Charleston involving Southern Hospitality, Southern Charm, and a shocking bar defection on King Street. The episode continues with more fascinating facts, including Oxford University being older than the Aztec Empire, Jake Paul's reported interest in playing wide receiver in the NFL, Harvard researcher David Sinclair's groundbreaking age reversal therapy that's helping blind mice see again, and the hilarious revelation that wombats poop cubes and use them to mark their territory. The guys wrap up with their weekly Charleston restaurant recommendation, KYN on Cannon Street, known for handmade sushi rolls that must be eaten in 20 seconds, and close out the episode with "By The Numbers," breaking down Elon Musk's billion-robot vision and what it could mean for the future of humanity. If you enjoy viral stories, conspiracy theories, pop culture, science, faith, and unfiltered conversations that don't take themselves too seriously, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

What happens when you lose your leg in combat and everyone tells you your career is over, but you decide that's just the beginning? This week on The AJ Buckley Show, AJ sits down with Nick Lavery, a Green Beret who embodies everything this podcast stands for: faith, family, fatherhood, freedom, and fitness. Nick's story isn't just about survival. It's about refusing to let tragedy define you and betting everything on an impossible comeback. Nick opens up about growing up as a small, insecure kid in Boston who was bullied and bounced around schools every year, yearning to be strong and respected. That yearning led him to a Marine Corps recruiter in high school, then to college football, and ultimately to September 11th, 2001, the day that changed everything. Watching the towers fall ignited a fire in Nick that sent him straight into the Special Forces pipeline with one mission: get to the tip of the spear, get payback, and get out. But then he fell in love with being a Green Beret, and everything changed. In 2013, Nick's leg was shot off by a machine gun in Afghanistan, fired by someone he had trained, someone who also killed three of his brothers and wounded seven others. Most people would have called it a career. Nick called it the beginning of the fight of his life. Fueled by competitiveness, rage, and an unbreakable refusal to quit, Nick spent the next two years relearning how to walk, run, shoot, and operate at the highest level, all while battling doubt, pain, and the fear of his own teammates that he might become a liability. But Nick didn't just come back. He became a legend. The Afghans called him the Machine Fighter, a six-foot six cyborg walking through villages, and that nickname became the foundation of his business, his brand, and his mission to help others achieve the impossible. AJ and Nick dive deep into the warrior mindset, the difference between determination and madness, what it takes to be a champion, the therapeutic process of writing his book Objective Secure, and why attention to detail in the most boring tasks separates elite from legendary. They also talk about fatherhood, the moment Nick held his newborn son and realized his identity had to evolve beyond being a soldier, the gift of perspective that comes from being a parent, and why he believes kids need to experience loss, pain, and failure in order to build resilience. Nick shares how his wife, an active-duty Army Special Operations officer with 26 years of service, has given him the unique perspective of being both the operator deployed and the spouse waiting at home, and how that duality has shaped the way he leads, loves, and lives. This conversation is raw, emotional, and packed with lessons on discipline, teamwork, mental toughness, and what it means to live a life of purpose. If you've ever faced an impossible challenge, been told you can't do something, or are searching for the courage to get back up after life knocks you down, this episode will change the way you see adversity forever.

What happens when a kid from Mississippi who learned to cook from his mother ends up serving four presidents at the White House, survives catastrophic injuries, and becomes a viral sensation with 100 million views in one week? This week on The AJ Buckley Show, AJ sits down with Chef Andre Rush, a man whose arms went viral in 2018, but whose story runs far deeper than the internet could ever capture. Chef Rush spent 23 years in the Army, cooked for four presidents at the White House, was inside the Pentagon on 9/11, competed on the Olympic team, and has dedicated his life to serving others. But instead of using his viral fame to chase fortune, Chef pointed it directly at something that breaks his heart: 22 soldiers a day committing suicide. So he made a promise. Every single morning, alone with his thoughts, no cameras, no audience, Chef does 2,222 push-ups. Not for attention. Not for likes. For them. AJ and Chef dive deep into his childhood in Mississippi, growing up in a family of eight kids, learning the culture of food and hospitality from his mother, and the relentless work ethic his father instilled in him on construction sites as a young boy. Chef opens up about being told by his father that no matter where you go, someone will want you to fail, and how that lesson shaped every step of his journey. He shares why he walked away from Olympic trials and a full ride scholarship to join the Army cold, with no influence, no help, and no plan, just a belief that he needed to forge his own path. They talk about what it was like cooking in the White House, the unimaginable pressure of feeding thousands of people with zero room for error, the moment a reporter walked up to him and said I'm going to make you famous, and how overnight his entire life changed. Chef reflects on the loss of his freedom, the weight of sudden visibility, and why he spent years as an extreme introvert putting everyone else in front of him before the world saw his face. But this conversation goes so much deeper. Chef opens up about the catastrophic injuries he sustained that doctors said would end his ability to build muscle, the surgeries that left him in unbearable pain, and how he fought his way back through sheer will and discipline. He talks about losing his daughter to suicide, losing his friend Eric to suicide, and the moment he blamed a commanding officer and put his entire career on the line to hold leadership accountable for failing a young soldier. AJ and Chef also discuss fatherhood, faith, the power of showing up to church physically and letting tears flow, why social media is both a gift and a trigger, the importance of looking in the mirror and telling yourself you got this, and why taking care of others is how Chef takes care of himself. They talk about the invisible battles military families face, why spouses and kids are the backbone of service, and how programs like Cooking to Cope are helping veterans reconnect with their families and find healing through food.
