Ryan “Darth” Bader, UFC legend and Bellator double champ, sits down with AJ Buckley on Real Fake Seal to talk fighting, family, hunting, and the mental warfare of staying on top.

AJ Buckley sits down with actor, YouTuber, entrepreneur, and author Josh Peck for a raw, no-filter dive into growth you don’t see on camera. From child-star fame to rebuilding self-worth, and falling back in love with the craft, Josh opens up about finding peace, discipline, and purpose as a husband and father.

They revisit the Justin Fortune boxing days—training alongside Chris Hemsworth for Red Dawn—then unpack the chaos of show business, the grind of auditions and acting class, and lessons from Oppenheimer. Hear how saying “no” protects family, and why esteemable acts build real self-esteem.
