I remember originally it was back in twenty eighteen. Weird do you think that, Matt? And now here we are? You know, we have to adapt and persevere, as you say, in the radio industry.

2:24 Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna get some radio cake and everything like that. We'll figure out what we should do to celebrate.

2:30 Speaker 1: I don't know anymore. Okay, sweets anymore.

2:34 Speaker 2: Well, we're going to get to a lot of bananas and apples. I don't know, no bananas. It's a texture thing. I like banana flavored things, but not actual bananas. Cannot eat bananas. The text is weird to me. I don't like it. This is mind blowing. This is mind blowing.

2:48 Speaker 1: And we have justin d flu Mary.

2:52 Speaker 3: You got it all right, right.

2:54 Speaker 1: Well because Kyle Kyle spelled it fanatically for me. D Flew Mary, so welcome. This has been coincidentally, today's show has been both the first and the second hour guests. I had to ask for you know, am I saying this right? Because the first hour UH project called Navarus. I didn't know if it was Navarus or Nevaras and then the second hour, Uh a K schnock and which is spelled e C C s h n A K you know, and these are these were both guests that were from other places, not locally, so they weren't in studio with me.

3:28 Speaker 1: One was on WhatsApp, one was on Microsoft teams, so I wasn't able to ask them before the segment. Hey, by the way, how do I say your name? So that so the conversation we were able to have about your name, I wasn't even by the other lest like Smith compared to that, right right, but uh, so welcome, so justin this is my first time meeting you, so welcome to the show. I understand you. Uh would you like to talk about how you arrived here today? How you got here?

3:52 Speaker 3: I ran a little over ten miles here today, Yeah, from Merrimack yep.

3:57 Speaker 1: And and why so.

4:00 Speaker 3: I have four marathons that of April two within twenty four hours.

4:04 Speaker 1: Oh, good for you.

4:05 Speaker 3: Yeah, so just trying to get the train and runs in while we have the time.

4:08 Speaker 1: No, that makes sense, it's good, good multitasking, right to get to a radio appearance. Might as well you have some training and no, that's great, good for you. But you're not, as we discussed earlier though, you're not running back.

4:17 Speaker 3: No, my girlfriend's picking it up.

4:19 Speaker 1: Yeh, thank god, that's good. It's not like it's cold out or anything.

4:22 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was freezing running here. Freezing.

4:25 Speaker 1: Now we've had some we've had some cold weather. Uh so why are you guys here? You got a you got an event tonight, right tonight, Strange grew upstairs. We Justin and I have been friends for a number of months now, and we kind of came up with the idea for U smiles for twenty six point two miles as Justin gets ready to run the Boston Marathon and just a few weeks really, and I wanted to benefit the Heather abbit Foundation with a way to raise money. And with the world that we're living in these days, it's kind of laughs are needed, and why not benefit to get some uh some you know, let Justin to a little bit explain that the Heather Abbot Foundation, since he is the one that's putting his body through the punishment to run the twenty six point two miles.

5:08 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll be up there doing the smiles for everyone. So this is kind of you know, Justin can explain how his love of running has come about, and how the Heather Abbot Foundation is, as you know, so important to his heart.

5:23 Speaker 3: Now, Okay, yeah, so I we I had my own medical incident. I guess we'll call it. I was leaking a serenos spinal fluid from from my brain out of my spine.

5:32 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. Like no, I'm not a medical professional of any kind, but that sounds serious.

5:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty serious. But we're all better now. I connected through the Heather Abbot Foundation through a work partner I do. I own a safety consulting company. Okay, we third partied in a security contract. And his wife actually is on the board of directors for the Heather abbit Foundation. Okay, And I got to hear her beautiful story. She was actually standing at one of the bombing site in twenty thirteen and she lost her leg, so a life altering injury just for trying to enjoy a fun family atmosphere at the Boston Marathon, right.

6:09 Speaker 3: And what drew me to that organization was that, you know, I got to see firsthand running for it two years ago, how they actually flew amputees in and you got to see where all your charitable donations went. So they flew into people that were recipients of what the organization did and it was a lot of fun but also very moving to hear, like how they were victims of like a car accident one was and then just like you know, an infection and they had to lose their leg and essentially that's life changing, right.

6:38 Speaker 3: Yeah, But then the money that we raised tonight will actually help you know, somebody who's going through that.

6:43 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, wow, No, that's amazing. So now you're so your medical situation that you had for I mean, my god, that that does sound No, in all seriousness, that sounds very that sounds pretty pretty rough.

6:58 Speaker 3: It wasn't fun. Yeah, but you know it's how I met Kyle and how I met a lot of people. So to be honest, what do you.

7:05 Speaker 1: Mean, Sky, you met Kyle? It was his fault.

7:07 Speaker 3: Yeah, he did it, man, I forgave him.

7:11 Speaker 2: This is why I gotta smile some more here, guys today. This is a big deal here to be the cause of Justin's issues.

7:19 Speaker 1: But should should I leave? The room?

7:21 Speaker 3: Was about forgiveness.

7:22 Speaker 1: I'm afraid it's gonna happen to me now. Yeah, I don't.

7:26 Speaker 2: Careful touched on those buttons. I already already tried to turn off my mic once.

7:30 Speaker 1: I don't want to be leaking things from from other things. And like what watch out sounds horrible?

7:37 Speaker 2: Five point three? This curse is real.

7:39 Speaker 1: Oh god, it was terrible. So what was like? What like, how did you know what was happening to you? Like? What were there? Yea, Like I'm curious about symptoms and stuff, so.

7:51 Speaker 3: I'll give you the real cliff notes. But yeah, I was the former m M A fighter. I was a boxer and oh wow, and I just came off winning the Open Mushall Championship in New York.

8:01 Speaker 2: Do you see that justin he's scared, he's backing.

8:03 Speaker 4: Up for you.

8:03 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah I am.

8:04 Speaker 2: He's already likes.

8:06 Speaker 1: Like, oh, very very very comforting to see that.

8:13 Speaker 3: And I started getting headaches and basically, you know, long story short it was, they found out it was connected to an inter ear issue that was causing the headaches. But they did a lumbar puncture and the lady who did it, like was not trained to do it. Oh no, she was an e R doctor. I remember, like she's like lean forward and she couldn't. She even said out lot. She's like, I can't get the needle in the right place, and then just kind of dammed it in.

8:35 Speaker 1: That's not something you ever want to hear. And you know, I was.

8:37 Speaker 3: Twenty seven at the time, so I'm like just trusting the process, right, And then long story short for from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen was really awful and painful.

8:46 Speaker 1: Wow.

8:47 Speaker 3: And then twenty twenty one is kind of when I got my life back. So I started doing these crazy endurance things and I ran from Canada to Massachusetts in the summer. Really, Kyle was the.

8:58 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh New to New Hampshire Wow.

9:02 Speaker 3: And Kyle was the filmmaker there.

9:07 Speaker 2: The finish line, which was a mess in itself. Keep telling this story, all right.

9:15 Speaker 3: Kyle bless us hot. His personality was awesome. I was just like, you know, Kyle's good with the one line is the right. When I seeing him, He's like, come on, there's a go out. You're walking. I was like, I can barely freaking run.

9:25 Speaker 1: Yeah.

9:26 Speaker 3: We just every time we saw him, he was just so motivational. It was really inspiration to see him. And then you know, we just formed a friendship invite. He joined our run club. And then his personality is awesome. He's so good with my daughter. He had me on his show a couple of times, and yeah, he's generally a nice guy. And for him to go I wanted for him to go above and beyond. So this all came about he's being modest. But you know, I I was snowboarding one day and I was like really bummed and he had to return a suit coat, which was really he looked really good and yeah, and uh, and I was just like, hey, man, like I'm nervous about fundraising for this.

10:00 Speaker 5: Uh.

10:01 Speaker 3: You know, we had a local ski mountain back out. They agreed to do a race and then they backed out. I don't know why. And you know, I was like, do you think we could do a comedy show? And Kyle's like yes, And he literally has been like behind the scenes planning it. He sold the most tickets.

10:16 Speaker 2: Out of all of us, forty three of this morning.

10:19 Speaker 1: Oh wow.

10:20 Speaker 3: I just wanted to give him. You know, he's just the type of guy he is. That's why I wanted to sit next to him and have him fix my medical issue with my heath, even though he caused it right right.

10:32 Speaker 2: So my side of the story is I'm angry that this man next to me has to run so fast from Pittsburgh to Nashua that now I have to get my butt out of bed and go to the finish line at like nine in the morning, which is not really my thing. I didn't get to do my show.

10:55 Speaker 2: I'm a lake guy.

10:56 Speaker 1: It could have been worse. It could have been eight forty five, and what would then?

11:00 Speaker 2: I have to get up at seven thirty, get this stuff go down, make sure the batters are charged, to get to the finish line to find this guy who's been sweating gross for five days running from Pittsburgh to Nashua. I'm complaining, I know whatever. But so I get to the finish line area and the finish line is at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua. Okay, okay, right, So I'm there and I get my camera out and I'm kind of like, I don't know where he is and the Peasant Lane Mall securities set comes over. He's like, yeah, you can't be here, like really, just absolute jerk faces.

11:34 Speaker 1: Wow.

11:35 Speaker 2: And we're basically like, yeah, you can't be here. So now I'm ticked off.

11:38 Speaker 1: When he says you can't be here. Does he mean you can't be on the mall property?

11:41 Speaker 2: Do the correct So now I'm like, well, forget this. I don't know, like I need to find this guy. So then now I have to backtrack and figure out where Justin is running from. Yeah, and I have no clue what I'm looking for. It's the one person, Like, there's one person that ran past me. I'm like, is that him? That's and I'm like looking at every single runner, I'm like, that's And then finally I see this man come up with poles and there's a car behind him with their emergency. I'm like, okay, that's it.

12:11 Speaker 2: So now I'm like, huh, all right, well a person running by you, you only only have like twenty seconds. You know. He's running pretty good. So now I have to go haven't run past, then go find another spot and have a run past again. So I have to get some different shots of him, like Baywatch slow motion DIAF from the house, like I have to get him going by looking good. But also it kind of worked out for him because now he's like, well crap, I can't just look like I'm walking. I'd have to actually run.

12:38 Speaker 2: So it just kind of worked out so I get a text or phone call from one of his his friends like, hey, we got a good finished spot, now you can come back. So I get to the finish spot. No one tells me that there's a finish line. No one tells me this justin I'm.

12:54 Speaker 1: Filming that there's an actual.

12:56 Speaker 2: There's an actual finish line in he's a running a bout. No one tells me this. Then I should be behind the finish line. So I'm just like watching him like, oh, he's so happy. Look at people are running with him. And he runs past me again, I'm like, where's he going? Oh no, And so I missed. Like if you look at the footage, I didn't really get a good shot. That's someone who was in my way of you crossing the finish line. So I all this work of getting up to get this guy, and uh, I didn't even get the right shot.

13:23 Speaker 2: But you know, he was immediately consoled and well, the pizza madman that I call him, I was able to consume some pizza, and you know it's a it's that's that's that's the day we met, Matt.

13:38 Speaker 1: Oh, that's the day.

13:39 Speaker 2: That's the day we met. Yeah, this is me just yelling at him, saying and also it was humid, and you know he wants to be standing outside watching this man running past you that doesn't look like David hassel Off.

13:56 Speaker 1: Getting hassled by mall security. Yes. Wait, so where was the finish So the finish line was not on it, No, wa had to move.

14:02 Speaker 2: Into a truck trucker area in the parking lot.

14:05 Speaker 3: So it had to be So everyone who did it before, we were trying to break the record. Everyone who did it before finished at the Pheasant Lane mob so oh yeah, so we were trying to get the record. So we got it in four and a half days. And what happened was, I guess I got the backstory from like a bunch of people that were talking to him, because Kyle obviously was trying to like find us is that like they I don't know they were nervous about like see, I don't know why they were nervous. But anyways, everyone always but we actually knew that going in.

14:34 Speaker 3: So Dave Salvias, who did it in eight days, he even told me He's like, yeah, they kicked us off mall property last time, but you want to finish at the mall property because it's in Tingsboro. So half of that where we finished was legally in Massachusetts. So Canada. We actually started in Canada through mass and ran through the whole state.

14:53 Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, north to south Okay. Yeah.

14:56 Speaker 3: But it was funny because when I when I did meet Kyle, we were like, I was like, how many mall entrances are they?

15:03 Speaker 2: That was like that was a lot.

15:05 Speaker 1: Really.

15:05 Speaker 2: I felt so bad because I'm like, oh, oh, we didn't go down that one. Now I'm like, this is scary to see, Like the Pesslane mall is a little different here, and I'm looking for the Revoke casino and now they're Revocadino. Was like, Nope, can't be on our property. I'm like this, wow, stupid? Or where's this guy running to?

15:22 Speaker 1: Yeah?

15:22 Speaker 2: And mind you, I didn't even met him yet. I'm just like, right right right, this this guy. I gotta get the shot of him crossing the finish line. Where's the finish line?

15:29 Speaker 3: Yeah?

15:30 Speaker 1: Oh wow, jezu, that's nuts.

15:33 Speaker 3: Hey we have comedy right now?

15:34 Speaker 1: You do you do? So?

15:36 Speaker 3: What?

15:37 Speaker 1: So how long did it take to run that? Total?

15:40 Speaker 3: Four days, four hours, and forty six minutes. Wow, Yeah, is the least challenging math. Is that what you're thinking, No, you want to like to run?

15:50 Speaker 2: He likes to run. That's how it starts.

15:51 Speaker 1: I do like to run, but no, that's uh no. So so over the course of so obviously you're not running the entire time.

15:59 Speaker 3: You walk run you power we call the power hiking in ultra world. That's why we have the poles.

16:05 Speaker 1: Oh, the poles.

16:05 Speaker 4: Yeah.

16:06 Speaker 3: So I probably slept for six hours in the four days. In fact, I actually let my crew sleep because we had I was blessed with the friendship. We had four people follow us.

16:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like so one.

16:16 Speaker 3: Car of two people would go ahead and set up like at every ten miles, like you know, food and stuff, and then the guy would always stay behind me in case like one safety reasons I blocking traffic, but two like just like also like in case I need like you know, anything quick, like you know, loube or anything. And uh so basically what happened was, you know, I wanted them to sleep because they're driving there everything. So I honestly, if I had like the supplies, I would have liked to keep going.

16:45 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we could have done it in three But like I remember standing over like a creep one of my crew members, and I was like, oh, I sleep and I can't wake them up because you know, we only we went to bed at like eleven. We got a hotel room one night, and then I was up at two the day of the White Mountain and I was like ready to go. I'm like come on. And then then the next day, same thing. You know, you can't sleep whenever. M R was covering it every day like everyone's texting you, So I just really wanted to give them some time to sleep.

17:12 Speaker 3: But yeah, I was four days four, I was in forty six minutes FKT.

17:15 Speaker 1: Do you think it would have been physically possible to just do it without sleep, just do it in three without sleep? No?

17:21 Speaker 3: No, I think you need at least like a nap, you know, like even some of the most professional, pristine ultrarunners in the world, like when they do moeb To forty or the Arizona three hundred, they take a nap for like an hour on the side. But we did hallucinate out there, which was pretty cool and really seeing that side of like the ultra running world.

17:38 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that typical. Is that common? Yeah?

17:41 Speaker 3: We did like a thirty hours straight stretch. And then that's when like it was kind of like, hey, we need to get some sleep. And yeah, it was like I actually just you know, put it on my Facebook. There was one I couldn't walk a straight line, so they had actually give me the polls not to like take pressure off my legs, just kind of so I could stand up and keep going straight.

17:58 Speaker 2: Oh I might not be able to walk a straight lane tonight. Drinks are consumed. Its strange, Oh my, oh mine? So and then so how does it work as far as eating? Like what what do you eat while you're doing this? And do you stop to eat or do you eat while you're running or I ate?

18:14 Speaker 3: Well, I uh, it depends sometimes like you do. Like so if you're taking like an hour break, like they put a chair down for me, like a beach chair, and they just like would give us a slice of pizza or like bagels or something like anything calorie related. And then like sometimes I would take this is pizza out the window and I'd walk and like just to keep going. So I don't care if it's a fifteen minute mile. At least I got a mile in, you know what I mean. So I'm eating and consuming at the same time.

18:41 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, interesting and plenty of water. Oh my god.

18:45 Speaker 3: I actually was dehydrated the third day around mile thirty four. But then and I knew it too, like I could feel it and then so we were trying. It was just it was ninety plus degrees that day. That was the day we started at two in the morning, okay, And so I actually finished with forty seven and then actually ran to Urgent Care and I got two IV bags.

19:07 Speaker 1: I really yeah, I think it.

19:08 Speaker 2: Running to the WM M and H studios is exciting. He went to Urgent Care. Wow.

19:15 Speaker 3: And then they kind of thought I was. I thought they were gonna call somebody. They uh, they give us an IV bag and I was like, well, I'm at forty seven. Can I go out and walk the rest and have someone hold it to get to fifty And the lady like was like mortified, and I was like damn. So she's like, no, I want you to come back like you you start your run tomorrow. So that's when we actually got the most sleep, Like, yeah, I.

19:34 Speaker 1: Was gotcha, gotcha, Wow, that's incredible.

19:38 Speaker 2: How many IVY bags?

19:39 Speaker 3: Again, you too, And that's some special drink. I don't know what it was.

19:43 Speaker 2: I mean, we need to find that out.

19:45 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's that's what.

19:47 Speaker 2: I needs to break your record. Yea, it's a special drink.

19:51 Speaker 1: Well, so is that is that the longest run you've done?

19:56 Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah yeah, Vermont was like seven miles or eight miles less. Yeah, it's online.

20:03 Speaker 1: Yeah.

20:04 Speaker 2: Not only has it done New Hampshire, he's done Vermont and Rhode Island as well, top to bottom.

20:08 Speaker 1: Really okay?

20:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wanted to do Maine this year, but actually so I went in a business. We had a client sign on to us, yeah night, and it was an eleven days stretch. We actually had the crew for it too. But yeah, you know, I gotta make money on a single parents, right right, I really want to do Maine.

20:24 Speaker 1: How long did it take to do Rhode Island?

20:25 Speaker 3: Got twenty hours? So sixty three hours? Yeah, sixty three miles twenty hours, sixty three hours, No, it was sixty three point twenty one miles. You actually end at the lighthouse and then there's the ocean, but you have to run by Taylor Swiss house, so that is where it gets interested. I was telling Kyle Is like I dressed to ask Taylor Swift because we always dress up on these things. Oh really yeah, So like Vermont, I dressed up as Forrest Gump New Hampshire, you know, we dressed up as a male model.

20:50 Speaker 3: Didn't have to dress up. And then what happened was Taylor Swift has a ton of security. Yeah, and I didn't think about it, but it was like eleven thirty and we're driving by blasting it on the bluetooth. Eron's running with me behind me, right, he's my girlfriend, and then I have the wig on a gemstone microphone tails and I'm like, they're gonna come out and shoot us. They're gonna think like rare stalking fan and I have no clue what we're doing.

21:15 Speaker 1: Right, Oh, that's funny. Obviously you were not shot.

21:19 Speaker 3: No, thank god.

21:21 Speaker 1: What what is like the wildest thing that's happened on one of these runs? Like, is there is there anything like really crazy or or where you did feel like you might be in some danger? Yeah? Vermont really?

21:31 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's that.

21:33 Speaker 3: Oh my god. Vermont was uh, basically, there's just it was this really sketchy in It was the only place to open because Vermont, like when you're up there in Vermont, you can't like's not. It's not like down here with this like double tree right there, right, you know, hotel, the motels.

21:49 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're in the woods, the fields.

21:54 Speaker 3: Honestly, Vermont was eight miles shorter, but what we went throughout in Vermont was like way worse than New Hampshire. Really, oh my god. But so it was it was just as hot. They were black tarring for like a twenty mile stretch, so you got to think it's eighty five degrees, but like for like twenty miles that I thought it was over one hundred.

22:12 Speaker 1: Oh wow.

22:13 Speaker 3: So one of my friends, Teresa, is a nurse. She actually had to give me IVS in the car. Yeah, we brought and we learned from New Hampshire. But uh, I would say, just we went into this wrong place. She might I want on stage, Yeah, and I don't know. Just basically we walked into the wrong hotel and the owner and his buddy were doing they were intoxicated and you know, they were just really weird and we ended up leaving.

22:38 Speaker 1: Oh really, oh yeah, oh wow.

22:40 Speaker 3: And then in New Hampshire we went to Plymouth. There was a place right next to Plymouth Police Department and they actually it's a picture of it online and I actually talked about it on Kyle's Off the Mark Show a little plugfully. But and then they had to take the bottom they had to take the bottoms of my feet because they was so bruised. Yeah, and uh and then these people next door like they own some institution I don't know, and they thought we were disguising to break people out. Oh really, and they were like, I can't you know, I know we're live, so I'll censor myself.

23:12 Speaker 3: There were very very distraught, insane things to us, like and we're just sitting there trying to eat and we're like, why are they so angry? And like they kicked us out. The police came. The police were like, oh, we saw you guys on WMR. We know what you're doing. Like it was really chaotic. That was the craziest things that happened.

23:29 Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, any encounters with like wild animals or anything while you're running.

23:33 Speaker 3: Yeah, we had two bear, two bear sightings, so this was actually smart. We had the car like go on the left and then like I had to creep blow on the side of it. This was in Tilton, Okay. And yeah, and then in Pittsburgh we had a bear sighting as well.

23:47 Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so that.

23:49 Speaker 3: Those are actually pretty nervous, because like that one was actually I took a picture of it put on my Facebook. One was actually a family for and it must have been the mother bear was on like hind legs and like it's probably from like here, so you know, like fifteen feet away. I was actually pretty nervous.

24:02 Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, yeah, cheers. That's intense. So then what's the recovery like after you do one of these?

24:11 Speaker 3: Pretty intense? So like you really do, like like for New Hampshire, I was just falling asleep at any any given moment, like mid sentence really, but then like you know, you consume a lot of calories. Yeah, you're walking weird for a couple of days.

24:25 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, if you're just joining us, we have Justin d flumeriy Am I still saying it right, you got it? Okay, I'm looking at the Yeah. And of course Kyle Hevy from Off the Mark Sports And.

24:35 Speaker 2: So I feel like I feel wrong that my name is so easy compared to you Justin.

24:40 Speaker 1: You do you have an easy name?

24:42 Speaker 2: I mean, if you really hyphen it is just he And then dash the letter V.

24:48 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is why he's the main event tonight.

24:51 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.

24:53 Speaker 2: Some stories that are going to be telling about various people have knocked out, and you know, basically lately, I've been enjoying some some downtime. There's no sports for me to be filming or commentating, so it's been kind of nice that this is coming up on. I mean, I'm I'm filming figure skating today at one o'clock. Big big day for me here too, you guys, But it was just a matter of you know, being able to roast justin here today. It's always a fun to be able to roast your friends on stage and supporting a good cause.

25:24 Speaker 2: And then also we'll talk about how really growing up, Matt, you're you're a little bit older, but you still understand. I feel like a lot of comedians with the reality TV got very famous by making fun of their parents. Look at bammar Jero, like at Tom Green. So I thought about how my parents raised me to be who I am, and as great as the job they did, they also fail in some ways. So sure I asked them permission to be able to write a song about them. So I'm gonna actually be playing music. I've learned some guitar chords and figured out how to write a song, and I wrote a very emotional fun ballad about the ways that my parents raised me wrong.

26:03 Speaker 2: So that'll be the grand finale for tonight's show.

26:07 Speaker 1: So I gotta go back to something you said. You said the stories about people you've knocked out? Oh, yeah, what are you talking about. I'm not gonna give away my set.

28:24 Speaker 4: As he took all my backstage pauses and he handed them out. Well, his athletic jock fronts.

30:43 Speaker 1: You plunged him right in the.

30:44 Speaker 2: Throat, just he was so much taller than I expected.

30:47 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was probably had his boots on.

30:50 Speaker 2: He had his boots on, and it was just, uh, those the shoulder pads are scary looking.

30:55 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

30:56 Speaker 2: I definitely had to escape as quick as they could.

30:58 Speaker 1: Uh huh for my life. Yes, and success, Well, it's remarkables.

31:03 Speaker 2: You should have been there.

31:04 Speaker 3: I'm taking all this in right now.

31:09 Speaker 1: It's incredible. You didn't know this about him, did you. I didn't know this about him. That's amazing. All right. So back to the ault.

31:16 Speaker 2: You know, if you can get away with it, it's not assault.

31:19 Speaker 1: I don't know.

31:21 Speaker 3: The look in his eyes when I rang the doorbell this morning, I.

31:23 Speaker 1: Thought we were you know, really Yeah.

31:26 Speaker 2: I was like, what do you do about? He was going back to the kiss tape.

31:29 Speaker 3: He's started grabbing me by the shirt and said.

31:30 Speaker 1: Jean, And I said, what's going on? Oh my god, Oh my god. I could have been calamitous. All right, So.

31:37 Speaker 2: Getting back to the super Bowl, So yes, Jeele Studio. Yes, it is January twenty eighth, twenty sixteen, and I'm on the field and the Patriots have now won and I'm getting to go to the Super Bowl. I'm so pumped all around confetti's flying through the air, smiling faces. I'm on the field. I'm doing all sorts of interviews. I'm doing all these little things, and I see Patriots Special team captain Matthew Slater from across the field, and I'm thinking, okay, he gives great interviews. I need to go get him.

32:10 Speaker 2: So I still got some good speed marathon finisher, you know, five K runner. I do all the little things of running pretty fast, and I start bolting across the field to get to Matthew Slater, and I all of a sudden feel a thud and see this person on the ground. I've now assaulted this person and they have gray hair, and I feel so bad right now. My ego has has fallen incredibly, and I realized I should probably make sure that this person is okay before doing my job and getting this interview. And I look down and I realized, okay, they're getting up, and they have gray hair.

32:51 Speaker 2: I gotta look them, and I look them in the face, and I realize it's bon Jovi. No, I just knocked John Bond, four hundred million dollar musician. I just assaulted and knocked to the ground.

33:05 Speaker 5: Wow.

33:07 Speaker 2: Yes, Jean Simmons take that.

33:10 Speaker 1: All right? Then what happened.

33:12 Speaker 2: I realized he's a good looking man, that's a straight man, he's a he's got great eyes, he's got a big smile, and uh, I made sure he is okay, And then I went and did my interview with mister Matthew Slater.

33:28 Speaker 1: Well, all right, you made sure he was okay. But what was his reaction?

33:30 Speaker 2: Was his smile?

33:31 Speaker 4: Oh?

33:31 Speaker 2: Really, it was all good for me.

33:33 Speaker 1: I was like, he seems like a legitimately nice guy.

33:37 Speaker 2: But I wanted to hang out with John instead of Matthew. I want to see what JBJ was doing after the show. But I also didn't know Matt if I was wanted dead or alive or living on a prayer at that moment in time, because you know that guy has got some money in his pocket, and uh, well I don't. But it's okay. So everything's okay between John and I looking forward to him at the show tonight as well. You know, I made sure they sent a personal invit to uh to John bon Jovi, sincerely, the guy that knocked you over at JEL Stadium, and uh, we'll see, we'll see if he can he makes it tonight or not.

34:14 Speaker 1: So I don't know if you know this, but you know these synchronicities happen in life. And uh bon Jovi their first US tour was opening for Kiss. So it's all it all ties together the universe, the way it works, it's incredible.

34:26 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to lick it up.

34:28 Speaker 3: Maybe bon bon Jovi was purposely trying to crypt trip Kyle for the payback of Gene Simmons.

34:34 Speaker 1: Maybe they could be in cahoots.

34:37 Speaker 2: And doing the little things in life to try to bring the world a better place. Here Matt here on Matt Content Unleashed.

34:47 Speaker 1: Well said, so, so have you have you knocked out any other celebrities? H?

34:55 Speaker 3: D m X?

34:56 Speaker 1: All right, I have to hear this, d mxm X. I know he spent time in New Hampshire. He did spend time in New Hampton in New Hampshire. It did not, it did not.

35:07 Speaker 2: So I'm mad. I'm I'm a worldwide, worldwide. I've been to Sweden, Australia because of you.

35:14 Speaker 1: Is he?

35:16 Speaker 2: I pleaded the fifth?

35:17 Speaker 1: Did you kill the MX? Sorr?

35:19 Speaker 2: I just know that bachelor party, Atlantic City. I'm I'm wearing a Burger King crown into the the Strip Club and uh, the hottest stripper of my life. I thought that I was the groom because I was wearing Burger King crown. I was not. So I got taken to the special room and uh, you know, I recognized the tattoo lyrics on her back. So I'm mainly realized that her and I have something in common. We both like music together.

35:53 Speaker 1: Connection.

35:54 Speaker 2: Connection. When it's a connection, you know it's good. I had an instant connect with the stripper lately. Uh never No, I invited her to that wedding and everything. She did not. She ghosted me. She ghosted me, Matt, she ghosts. I'm still not over it. But so Callie and I we'll just call her Cali, uh real name Nicole, and she, uh, she was giving me the love. I was ready to propose to her at that moment in time. And next thing, you know, big Zeus was saying, you know, Callie, we need you in the other room.

36:27 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, big Zeus.

36:28 Speaker 2: Big Zeus, that was that was her second personal could big Zeus could be working for Taylor Swift now.

36:36 Speaker 1: Zeus he was not.

36:38 Speaker 2: He was scary man. So He's like, Callie, we need you in the other room. And I'm like, there's no way, there's no way this guy has taking my wife, my future wife away from me. So then I had to go into the other room and and next thing, you know, I see this man eating chicken wings at the strip club and I'm now I'm up that. I'm like, this guy cannot be taken my girl eating chicken wings. And so I got a little closer and go a little cornsler, and I realized it was Earl Simmons aka DMX.

37:09 Speaker 1: Wow.

37:10 Speaker 2: So yes, I I sat down with him as Cali, my my wife was, you know, giving him some love. And and then yes, as I got up, I was accidentally kind of got in the way and and hit TMX in the head. So whether it be brain hamorrhaging or you know, however he died, I'll always have that night with DMX.

37:31 Speaker 1: So you hit him in the head.

37:33 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was my elbow?

37:35 Speaker 1: Oh okay?

37:36 Speaker 2: Yeah?

37:36 Speaker 1: And how did he respond to the city bark at you or what I what you really want? Yeah? No, And how did you respond?

37:44 Speaker 2: I was like, ride or die, That's how I'm gonna go.

37:47 Speaker 1: Sure he appreciated that.

37:48 Speaker 2: I definitely Earl Simmons, bon Jovie Gene Simmons, Justin d Flamery. Watch out tonight, buddy, Wow, watch out you think that you think this just for the Heather Foundation. It's for my own personal need to knock out every celebrity I get to hang out with. Wow, you're out of control that I know that. I mean, I warned him with the cerebral you know, leaking.

38:14 Speaker 1: But so what you're saying is you you tried to kill Justin in a sense.

38:21 Speaker 2: He's he wanted to be a professional boxer. And I said, no, I think he did.

38:25 Speaker 3: Try and tell him the story about the last time we came, and I thought it was a set of my own setup.

38:31 Speaker 2: This is not some days, this place is a special you know, people still think it's a bus station. It's not. Oh I know.

38:39 Speaker 1: I just a couple of weeks ago, somebody was asking me for busting gets out there. Yeah, so it still happens.

38:44 Speaker 2: We did a three part series on the story of Justin's life and his running and uh where we finished up and I'm I'm editing just like you do after the show, and uh that the door over here that was open, and I hear a loud bang on the door, and so I was like, well, that's weird. What's going on here? So I step outside to check out what it is. And next thing you know, this man on some sort of drugs is trying to get in the door enter and it was whoa, hello there, let me uh, let me show off my goods. I'm still sinking in.

42:32 Speaker 1: So why did he end up with the ambulance ride.

42:36 Speaker 2: That's what scort. Yeah, it was the police that took him away and gotcha probably realized that there was something mentally wrong with him. So I just kind of went with a story.

45:01 Speaker 1: Here.

45:01 Speaker 2: We got some fellow comedians from the region, Derek Corney, Paul Land where Nick Sands and the Fabulous Gigi are all going to be performing. Justin here is our MC and again benefiting the Heather Abbot Foundation to bring in, you know, people that have lost a limo. You know, Justin can probably explain that a little bit more. But we're trying to make sure that we break the record for the Heather abbit Foundation for the most money raised in a single marathon year.

45:31 Speaker 1: Oh excellent, excellent, Yeah, did you want to speak more about that justin the foundation?

45:36 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the foundation is driven by Heather obviously, and like I said earlier, it's just you know, they provide prosthetics to people in need who can't afford it. But what actually coincidentally enough, and we talk about small world, my neighbor is actually going to be a recipient this year. No, right next to me, you saw my Sharet prosthetic. So I'm about the foundation. So the money we raised tonight, at least my aritible for the year of twenty twenty six Boston Marathon Heather contributions is actually going to my neighbor, which is special.

46:06 Speaker 3: Oh no kidding, Yeah, wow, I thought that's pretty cool.

46:08 Speaker 1: Well that is that is that's wild. I'm curious, So you used to do or it sounds like you don't still do it, or maybe you do used to do mma is that.

46:15 Speaker 3: I I used to competitively fight, yeah, boxing and kickboxing. I still do jiu jitsu. Oh you train muay Thai just for fun though, Now I don't want to get hit in.

But yeah, I did that for about five years, and we did We did a lot of kickboxing in that class and a lot of jiu jitsu. Yeah yeah, I do miss it sometimes. But but you used to fight professionally.

46:36 Speaker 3: Not professionally I did. I got the silver medal golden gloves, and I wanted to open my flo Oh that's very cool.

46:42 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, A little little uh brush shoulder off there, justin yeah, sorry, just a little. I'm talking about beating up DMX and a guy outside here talking about silver gloves.

46:53 Speaker 1: Well, we don't know, I mean, you ever beat up any celebrities or you know.

46:57 Speaker 2: No, Okay, I could be next.

46:59 Speaker 3: I thought when it was legal, right ye, sanctioned event right now?

47:03 Speaker 1: That makes sense. That makes sense. And then so what's next as far as do you have another run you're gonna be doing or I assume you're gonna keep doing these.

47:13 Speaker 3: So yeah, big summer for us. So I have the Cheap Marathon April fifth, and then I'm trying to be one of only X amount of people. So I'm doing the Boston Marathon tough Ruck, on which you have to do the marathon with fifteen pound bat weighted best or a backpack. Really, it used to actually be on the marathon course, but then they xnay backpack, so obviously what happened. So it's still put on by the Boston Athletic Association, but they moved to the Conquered Mass. So I'm doing that on Sunday in the Boston Marathon on Monday.

47:40 Speaker 3: But my start times and by the time I finished the fifteen pound ruck, it'll be less than twenty four hours of a rolling twenty four hours, So I'm doing two marathons in twenty four hours.

47:50 Speaker 5: Wow.

47:50 Speaker 4: Yeah.

47:51 Speaker 3: And then and then I have one in between on April twelfth in New York, Okay, I'm kind of nervous about. And then we're gonna run the link to Connecticut in June.

48:03 Speaker 5: No?

48:03 Speaker 3: One hundred, one hundred, yeah, ninety nine point six. But we're gonna make sure just like today, we'll do a couple of laps, I get the hundred.

48:09 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, wow, yeah what happens if it did? Do you ever run a new uh like like when you're doing one of these uh like bad weather? Yeah, I mean obviously the heat.

48:19 Speaker 3: All the time Romont Downpoort, uh oh good Downport for the essentially a whole day. Oh my pitch was of it on my Facebook, but like it was. I actually just I had a visor because all the rain was going in my eyes. I had some glasses on, yeah and uh yeah, no shirt and I just I just ran it. You know, I didn't really think about it. But wow, that part sucked because it was actually really hot and then it was really cold.

48:42 Speaker 1: Oh jeez. Yeah that sounds miserable, but.

48:45 Speaker 3: You know so that that's honestly, it's just strategy. I would tell the Teresa who screwed me, like, hey, put the heat on, go in for two minutes, just get a little two minutes and then go and then like I had, I didn't bring gloves because it was ninety degrees, old socks and put them on my hands and running like Matin running down first of all Vermont. So maybe they didn't think of anything of it. But like Maton's seeing a guy who's like, I'm all tatted up, right, I'm a bigger guy running down the street, downpouring, all tatted up with socks on his hands, no shirt is going.

49:14 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild, that's wild, And I mean there's nothing else you can do though, right in a situation like that, you just got to keep going, right, Yeah, that's incredible. You ever you ever had one of these runs where you felt like, I don't know if I'm gonna make it through this one.

49:27 Speaker 3: Or I would know the mindset's been there. But like in Vermont, like I said, it was just like real. It was just me, So yeah, I had four people with me, like it was pretty hyped up. I didn't tell anyone I was doing Vermont and like it was just me and Teresa and there was no reception for until we got to the hotel with Wi Fi. So I was just in my thoughts for we technically started not before we started like a little less than a mile before Canada, because I dressed this forest gump and I didn't have my passport.

49:56 Speaker 3: Yeah, New Hampshire. The Border Patrol actually let us in, like they one of the guys saw it on wm R.

50:02 Speaker 1: Oh goody.

50:02 Speaker 3: We actually got to go in Canada. Oh okay, and he's like, he's like, make sure you don't just keep running through. I was like, oh, I'll get the hell out of there as fast as I can. But yeah, we didn't try that. But like, yeah, I'd say the only time that like the physicality of it was like Vermont because like I had a hamstring issue and they had to tape it. But then we just kept going.

50:21 Speaker 1: Yeah, oh wow. So for someone who wants to do that, who's interested in doing that, like, what do you have any advice for anyone?

50:28 Speaker 2: No, don't let him break your record?

50:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, well the roots are on FKT. Oh no, no, no, So you know, I would just say, really, honestly, the biggest advice, because people have asked me, is you got to plan food. So, like I said, we could have honestly done it, I think in three days in New Hampshire, but we didn't know. We didn't you're not going to drive the four day route like at a time and drive back. It's it takes five six hours to drive it normally if you have like breaks and stuff like bathroom breaks, not straight through. So like we didn't a lot of places weren't open when we started, so like we're trying to find food or like we're stopping for like an hour on the side of the road until something opens because we don't know when the next food place is opening because of service and stuff like that.

51:13 Speaker 3: Like Vermont, we went like twenty minutes out of the way, then twenty minutes back because you have to drop the pin and like stamp in where you went. Okay, so you do the course, yeah yeah, and like so that's time added, right, so it's like two three extra hours. So uh, we kind of learned in Rhode Island where we packed a cooler like can goods and stuff and I was just like eating like baked beans out the window, out of the can and stuff, so we didn't have to stop.

51:36 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh wow, that's that's incredible.

51:40 Speaker 2: I know what baked bean does to me. I don't know I can get that.

51:44 Speaker 3: Why do you think I went to the double trick?

51:46 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, now it's all coming together here.

51:49 Speaker 1: I'm cure. So what is your business to again? Because I love talking to entrepreneurs, So we don't have a ton of time left. But and at least you know, get in a plug for your business. But I'm curious, what what what.

51:57 Speaker 4: Do you do?

51:57 Speaker 1: What is your business?

51:58 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's often most safety inspects are Optimal Safety Inspections dot com. And we're a safety and security consulting firm, so we're not OSHA. But like we do, like forklift training, CPR training will prepare you for an ocean inspection, help you get out of it, help protect your workers, anything safety or security related. We do type of training audits, stuff like that.

It's a basketball seasons coming to an end here for college sports, and we'll have all the details on that.

52:58 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about what he just said. I I don't watch sports ball, no flue, no clue.

53:03 Speaker 2: But there's this game called basketball I've imagined by doctor James Naismith, who has the same birthday as me. And they used to use peach baskets to throw the ball up into it. But they realized that the peach baskets were not very good because then he had to deal with getting the ball out. They made these things called nets, and then the rules have started to change where it's five guys versus or five people versus five people, and they have to throw this ball into a net ten feet in the air.

53:31 Speaker 3: Oh, which team would the striper be?

53:34 Speaker 2: Stripper? I mean, CALLI Harlem, the Atlantic City Arson's I don't know. She was so hot?
