“When I met God, I high‑fived the devil.” - Waka Flocka Flame

“When I met God, I high‑fived the devil.”

In one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had on the Country Outdoors Podcast, Waka Flocka Flame sits down with Mary O’Neill Phillips to share his full testimony and how his life has been transformed by faith.

Waka opens up about losing two younger brothers, living on ecstasy from seventh grade into his twenties, facing a potential 10‑year prison sentence with a stolen car and a sawed‑off shotgun, walking through divorce and depression, and finally finding peace in God. He explains why he now refuses to take any opportunity that pulls him away from God—“If it moves me away from God, I’m not doing it. I don’t care how profitable it is. The devil gets no play in my ride.”

We also dig into his views on marriage and dating, friendship and forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and what it looks like to be a present father and man of faith while still making music and moving into the country world. If you’ve only known Waka Flocka Flame for the turn‑up anthems, this episode will completely change how you see him.

In this episode:

• Growing up Baptist/Christian and how he understands Jesus and the Holy Spirit today
• The accident that took his little brother’s life and the survivor’s guilt he carried for years
• Losing a second brother to suicide and wrestling with “Why them, God?”
• Ecstasy, numbness, being pre‑diabetic, and the moment he realized “this is not me”
• Getting locked up in Georgia, first‑offender grace, and deciding he had to change
• Why he forgives people but draws hard boundaries around broken friendships
• Divorce, two years of depression, and how God used that season to grow him
• His take on marriage, dating with intention, and being friends before you say “yes”
• Spiritual warfare, God’s wrath, and why he believes people give the devil too much credit
• What he wants to be remembered for and why he’s leaving the future in God’s hands

Welcome to the Country Outdoors Podcast, where country music, entertainment, and outdoor lifestyle collide with real conversations about faith, life, and the wild.

Actor, entrepreneur, health tinkerer, husband, dad and all‑around weapon of a human—AJ Buckley is back in the studio, and this time Mary is on his turf at The AJ Buckley Show. From CSI lab coat to SEAL Team kit, from “soft” to “most jacked dad on the block,” AJ walks through the exact moment a lost franchise role forced him to change everything.

He opens up about the studio note that gutted him (“we don’t have time to get him ready”), the promise he made to his wife and newborn daughter that night, and how he turned that embarrassment into the discipline that built Sonny Quinn. They dig into his 4 a.m. mornings, the biohacking dungeon in his basement (cold plunges, sauna, oxygen training, red light, PEMF, hyperbaric), and why he treats getting in shape like a full‑time job when a big role comes in.

AJ breaks down blood work, hormones and inflammation, why most guys are guessing with their health, and how carnivore, fasting, sardine experiments and even parasite cleanses have changed the way he feels on set and at home. They talk about carrying too much size on SEAL Team, coming back from injury, chasing muscle density for longevity, and still showing up as a present husband and dad—not just a guy who looks good on camera.

If you love SEAL Team, need a kick in the ass to finally handle your health, or just want to hear two friends talk honestly about failure, ego, and doing the work, this episode is for you.

Trailer for our AJ Buckley episode—actor, entrepreneur, health nut, husband and dad—on the moment he lost a dream role and the ruthless routine that turned him into Sonny Quinn.
