Country Outdoors Podcast Host Mary O’Neill sits down with country star Dustin Lynch live from CMA Fest at Creatures Studio for a deep dive into his double life: hardcore hunter and Vegas EDM headliner. In his return to the Country Outdoors Podcast, Dustin breaks down how a PBR afterparty turned into a full-blown DJ show, what it’s like headlining a Wynn nightlife residency, and why he’s obsessed with dropping high-energy dance collabs while still staying rooted in country. They dig into his new music and recent collaborations with heavy-hitting DJs and producers, how today’s festival crowd wants rapid-fire, high-BPM sets, and what it means to bridge the gap between country fans and global dance audiences. On the hunting side,  @DustinLynch  nerds out on habitat management, food plots, and his love of making the woods better, then shares the “One That Got Away” Bog segment—complete with a double-beard Tennessee turkey that still haunts him and archery encounters that changed how he hunts. You’ll also hear stories from spring turkey seasons in Missouri, Iowa and Tennessee, behind-the-scenes pressure of hunting on camera, his legendary pool party at CMA Fest, and why he’s more fired up than ever about the future—with hints at what’s coming next in both his country and EDM worlds.

Country star Dustin Lynch joins Country Outdoors for a no‑filter hang talking new music, life on the road, and why the outdoors still feels like home. Hit play for a sneak peek at tomorrow’s full episode and get ready for stories you won’t hear anywhere else.

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.
