He endured one of the most intense training programs known in the military world, Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training, or BUD/S. After seeing combat in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Haiti, Ryan left the Navy and worked as a contractor for the CIA.
Ryan speaks with Business Insider about his time with SEAL Teams 2 and 8, the weapons they trained on — including M4s, rocket launchers, and miniguns — surviving his toughest mission outside Baghdad, and the reasons he chose to leave the special operations unit.
After leaving the military, Ryan began abusing drugs, chasing the adrenaline highs he'd experienced as a SEAL. He says psychedelic therapy has helped with his addiction recovery and other mental health challenges. Today, he runs a YouTube channel and a podcast, "The Shawn Ryan Show."

Jamali breaks down espionage tactics such as the realism of disguises in "Atomic Blonde," starring Charlize Theron; "Mission: Impossible — Fallout," with Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, and Simon Pegg; as well as the concept of developing a character as a double agent in "Casino Royale," starring Daniel Craig; and "Iron Man 2," with Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jon Favreau, and Gwyneth Paltrow. He explains both Russian and American intelligence tactics, and connects them to his real-life experience with the FBI and the GRU, in "Salt," starring Angelina Jolie; "Red Sparrow," starring Jennifer Lawrence, and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011), with Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Tom Hardy.

Jamali was a double agent, operating as an FBI asset posing as a recruit for the Russian GRU, from 2005 to 2009. The operation concluded with the FBI "arresting" Jamali in front of his GRU case officer, Oleg Kulikov, effectively exposing Kulikov's cover as a diplomat in the United States. After the operation, Jamali was appointed as an Intelligence Officer in the United States Navy Reserve. Today he is an editor-at-large at Newsweek and executive producer and host of its show "Unconventional." He also cowrote a book detailing his double agent operation, "How to Catch a Russian Spy: The True Story of an American Civilian Turned Double Agent."

Matter breaks down the accuracy of the activities and culture of outlaw motorcycle clubs, such as episodes from "Sons of Anarchy," from its portrayal of a motorcycle chase to the importance of club tattoos and attire — such as the kutte and leather jacket; as well as rivalries among outlaw motorcycle clubs — including the rivalry between the Outlaws and the Hells Angel – in "Mayans M.C." He also covers common tropes in biker movies, such as the bar brawl in "A Bronx Tale," with Robert De Niro; the importance of patches in "one-percenter" motorcycle clubs in "The Bikeriders," starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy; the use of clubs, chains, and knives in the fight scene in "Reacher" S2E4 (2023); and the clubhouse scene "Daredevil" S2E1 (2016). Matter discusses life during and after joining the Hells Angels, such as the initiation ceremony for a prospect in "Hells Angels on Wheels," starring Jack Nicholson; the role of women in outlaw motorcycle clubs in "Yellowstone" S3E4 (2020); and the plausibility of law enforcement going undercover to infiltrate outlaw motorcycle clubs in "Beyond the Law," with Charlie Sheen.

In 2003, Matter was sentenced to 17 and a half years in federal prison for money laundering and distribution of methamphetamine. After he agreed to cooperate with law enforcement and testify in other drug cases across the nation, his sentence was reduced to 10 years. Upon completing his prison sentence, Matter has since participated in seminars with law enforcement and cowrote a book with Chris Omodt — the police officer who spearheaded Matter's case — called "Breaking the Code: A True Story by a Hells Angel President and the Cop Who Pursued Him."

Michael Grauer debunks common tropes in Western films, such as the realism of quick-draw duels, gunslingers, and the effects of the Gold Rush era in "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," starring Clint Eastwood; the commonality of saloon fights and bank robberies in "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," with Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, and Liam Neeson; and the frontier town shootout in "The Magnificent Seven" (2016), with Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, and Chris Pratt. He discusses the common misconception of the American Frontier as lawless, such as the role of bounty hunters and sheriffs in "Django Unchained," with Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Christoph Waltz; federal lawmen stopping an outlaw gang in "True Grit" (2010), with Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Hailee Steinfeld; and the connection between outlaws and former Confederate soldiers after the Civil War in "Westworld" S1E5 (2016). Grauer also comments on the portrayal of Native Americans and cowboys in film, such as the depiction of the Comanche people in "The Searchers," starring John Wayne; the bison-hunting scene with the Lakota people in "Dances with Wolves," starring Kevin Costner; and the cattle-grazing scene in "Open Range." He also breaks down scenes based on real-life events and people during the Wild West period, such as infamous outlaws like Cherokee Bill and Rufus Buck in "The Harder They Fall," with LaKeith Stanfield, Regina King, and Idris Elba; Charles Goodnight in "1883," starring Tim McGraw; and the depiction of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral — a shootout involving the "Cowboys" gang and the federal posse including Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday — in "Tombstone," with Val Kilmer and Sam Elliott.
Grauer is a public historian focusing on cowboy history and Western American culture. He is the McCasland Chair of Cowboy Culture and Curator of Cowboy Collections and Western Art for the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. With 40 years of experience as a museum curator, he has curated over 150 exhibitions on Western art, culture, and history and authored around 65 publications.

He explains the realism of triads dealing with law enforcement and other international criminal organizations, such as the Irish Mob in "The Departed," with Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, and Jack Nicholson; the tensions between the yakuza and the San Francisco triad in "War," with Jason Statham; the relationship between the Hong Kong police and the triads in "Infernal Affairs," starring Tony Leung and Andy Lau; and the interaction with motorcycle clubs in "Sons of Anarchy" S6E10. Tsui also looks at scenes in New York City's Chinatown, such as the rivalry between two Tong associations in "The Corruptor," with Mark Wahlberg and Chow Yun-fat; and the gambling-house scene in "Year of the Dragon." Tsui also explains the rituals and hierarchy of the triads, such as the initiation-ceremony scene in "Election" (2005) and the voting scene in "The Brothers Sun" E7, starring Michelle Yeoh.
Tsui was involved with the Sun Yee On triad and Tung On in New York City's Chinatown for over 10 years. In 1985, in New York, he was arrested and charged with robbery and homicide with a $1.5 million bail. The case was dismissed, resulting in his transition into Sun Yee On in 1988. He was involved in karaoke bars, gambling houses, and various scams. After leaving the triads, Tsui got involved with Chinatown Gang Stories, a YouTube channel organized by Mike Moy, a former gang member and New York City Police Department officer.
