In this emotional episode, AJ Buckley talks with Scott about guilt, heroes who don’t make it home, and the pressure that never turns off when operators return from deployment. From the song “Heroes” to the story of a lodge built for dads and kids to reconnect, this conversation dives into purpose, faith, and higher calling.

It’s about real boots-on-the-ground support instead of empty posts. Real stories, real tears, and real work for the men and women who gave everything.

Grayson Russell takes it from the Listening Room in Pigeon Forge “redneck Disneyland” by Dollywood to the moment a brutal, true line hit him in Walmart by the salmon. He shares the family truth his dad revealed, why his mom didn’t know, and how it became the song “Turned Out Good,” played for crowds from 100 to 30- 40,000 then bringing his dad on stage as the evidence.

They also hit old soul songwriting, Irish ballads, touring, opening for Grammy winners, and the episode’s closing stretch on kids, purpose, and life on the road.

AJ Buckley talks with Daniel Corbett SEAL Team Six operator and author of "The American Mercenary" about the future fight: a “gorilla squadron” operating in onesies and twosies, language-driven intel, and why full-scale assault elements are fading.

Corbett breaks down Green Team’s unforgiving standard, shatters the biggest mercenary myth—no ethics and explains how saying “absolutely not” is part of the job. The conversation turns to Serbia, where there’s no jury only a judge and how that ordeal rewired his approach to risk, trust, and knowing exactly when to walk away.

Real Fake Seal is back as AJ Buckley sits down with Entourage creator Doug Ellin for a raw, no-BS ride. Doug jumps from New York roots to discovering Nashville is not a hick town, talking pickleball, fatherhood at 55, and the LA break-in caught on Ring that finally pushed him out of California.

He cracks open doing standup, a $10K short that sold to Showtime, almost directing The Parent Trap, AFI, Fat Beach, bombing at the box office, the Curb spec that birthed Entourage, HBO hating his first pilot, grinding through 20+ drafts, casting Dillon, Piven and AJ’s “yo dog” role, and how COVID and the strikes crushed crews while execs stayed rich.

26-year-old Ethan Benard went from 660 lbs to losing over 200 pounds, surviving intubation, beating food addiction, and rebuilding his life for something bigger—his future wife and kids. In this Real Fake Seal episode, Ethan shares his full journey: childhood struggles, gaming escape, Twitch growth, Valorant streams, and the near-death moment that changed everything.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Ethan on his journey—his Twitch community, the gaming fans from League of Legends, Valorant, and Riot’s playtests, and all who’ve encouraged him along the way.

A special thank-you to Chris Pratt, Jocko Willink, Jelly Roll, and Bert Kreischer for taking the time to send Ethan well-wishes. Your kindness truly meant a lot and helped fuel his transformation.
