"Deep Scythe" Jarred Taylor's Tribute to the Friend Who Saw His Potential Before Anyone Else | AJ Buckley Show

AJ Buckley — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 10:00:00 -0000

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.

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.

$65 Million is Betting on the Return of Jesus... Seriously. | Unfiltered Friday | AJ Buckley Show

AJ Buckley — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:00:00 -0000

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.

If you enjoy viral news, pop culture, history, strange internet stories, faith, and conversations that don’t take themselves too seriously, you’re in the right place.

Chris Stroup: Life After Deployment Isn't What People Think | Stroup Knives | The AJ Buckley Show

AJ Buckley — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0000

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.

Zach Phillips Building Country Outdoors & The Wildest Outdoor Stories | AJ Buckley Show

AJ Buckley — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0000

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.

Remi Adeleke on Black Market Organ Harvesting, A SEAL Hunting the Traffickers | AJ BuckleyShow

AJ Buckley — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:00:00 -0000

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.

26 Years Undercover. 300 Convictions. One Broken Man - Lou Valoze - AJ Buckley Show

AJ Buckley — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0000

What does it really take to live a double life inside the mafia—and survive?

On this episode of the AJ Buckley Show, we sit down with retired ATF Special Agent Lou Valoze, one of the most decorated undercover agents in American history. For 26 years, Lou lived a life few could imagine—deep undercover inside the Chicago mafia, outlaw biker gangs, and domestic terror networks.

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.

In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, Lou reveals what it truly takes to infiltrate the darkest corners of crime—and the personal cost that comes with it.

Check out Lou Valoze's book "Ray Khan" at https://a.co/d/0aOtVMAk

The mental and emotional toll of living undercover for decades
The moment a DEA agent changed his life forever
A personal crisis that nearly broke him—and how he fought back
Why undercover operations are the most effective law enforcement tool
The shocking true story behind his new book—featuring CIA disguises, Iran-U.S. relations, and corruption at the highest levels
