When SWAT medic Casey Cheshier set out for a routine return trip from Catalina Island, he didn't expect to collide with a whale at 60 mph — or fight for his life in open ocean. In this raw and riveting episode, Scott sits down with the LA County Sheriff's Department's elite rescue paramedic to unpack a day that turned into a survival thriller. From near-fatal leg injuries to hypothermia, a malfunctioning boat, and sheer mental grit, Casey walks us through how training, mindset, and brotherhood saved his life. We also get an inside look at LA's elite tactical rescue teams — where jumping from helicopters, diving into bodies, and explosive breaching are just another Tuesday. This is not your average cop story.
