be rting that spot where you are and doing the
same exact thing. So it's a great to be a
guest here and to be a part of your show.
I really haven't been here on Saturdays. We've really moved
here and been a part of something like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say you made you made regular
appearances when I was on and afternoons at the old place,
but yeah, since we've been here at Yeah, this is
your first this is your first time on this, your first.
Speaker 2: Time for the for the ten am or nine to
noon format that you have here. So it's kind of nice.
I've been amazing what you and Jenny have been able
to do with thank you making things work. And obviously
your sleep sleep pattern has changed jurassically too, with having
being here from four to six to now you know,
Saturdays from at nine am, after being here till eleven
o'clock on Friday.
Speaker 1: Nights, it is a long stretch. Yes, yes, and of
course you also off the Mark Sports. We should plug
your show, yeh.
Speaker 2: Off the Mark Sports. Yes, Sunday morning from ten to noon.
Another thing then, you know, from from day one, I
was Wednesdays from uh I think it was six to eight.
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.
Speaker 1: It will be nine years for me next oh my god,
next week, party time, nine years, nine years, party time.
Wmn A.
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.
Speaker 1: I don't know anymore. Okay, sweets anymore.
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.
Speaker 1: And we have justin d flu Mary.
Speaker 3: You got it all right, right.
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. 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?
Speaker 3: I ran a little over ten miles here today, Yeah,
from Merrimack yep.
Speaker 1: And and why so.
Speaker 3: I have four marathons that of April two within twenty
four hours.
Speaker 1: Oh, good for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so just trying to get the train and runs
in while we have the time.
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.
Speaker 3: No, my girlfriend's picking it up.
Speaker 1: Yeh, thank god, that's good. It's not like it's cold
out or anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was freezing running here. Freezing.
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. 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.
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.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah. Like no, I'm not a medical
professional of any kind, but that sounds serious.
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. 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. Yeah, But then the money
that we raised tonight will actually help you know, somebody
who's going through that.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: Mean, Sky, you met Kyle? It was his fault.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did it, man, I forgave him.
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.
Speaker 1: But should should I leave? The room?
Speaker 3: Was about forgiveness.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid it's gonna happen to me now. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Careful touched on those buttons. I already already tried to
turn off my mic once.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be leaking things from from other things.
And like what watch out sounds horrible?
Speaker 2: Five point three? This curse is real.
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.
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.
Speaker 2: Do you see that justin he's scared, he's backing.
Speaker 4: Up for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah I am.
Speaker 2: He's already likes.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, very very very comforting to see that.
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.
Speaker 1: That's not something you ever want to hear. And you know,
I was.
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.
Speaker 1: Wow.
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.
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh New to New Hampshire Wow.
Speaker 3: And Kyle was the filmmaker there.
Speaker 2: The finish line, which was a mess in itself. Keep
telling this story, all right.
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.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
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.
Speaker 5: Uh.
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.
Speaker 2: Out of all of us, forty three of this morning.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
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.
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.
I'm a lake guy.
Speaker 1: It could have been worse. It could have been eight
forty five, and what would then?
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.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: And we're basically like, yeah, you can't be here. So
now I'm ticked off.
Speaker 1: When he says you can't be here. Does he mean
you can't be on the mall property?
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. 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. 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.
Speaker 1: Filming that there's an actual.
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. 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.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's the day.
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.
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.
Speaker 2: Into a truck trucker area in the parking lot.
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. 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.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, north to south Okay. Yeah.
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?
Speaker 2: That was like that was a lot.
Speaker 1: Really.
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?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
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?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, jezu, that's nuts.
Speaker 3: Hey we have comedy right now?
Speaker 1: You do you do? So?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: So how long did it take to run that? Total?
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?
Speaker 2: He likes to run. That's how it starts.
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.
Speaker 3: You walk run you power we call the power hiking
in ultra world. That's why we have the poles.
Speaker 1: Oh, the poles.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
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.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like so one.
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. 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. But yeah, I was four days four, I
was in forty six minutes FKT.
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?
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.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that typical. Is that common? Yeah?
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.
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?
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.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, interesting and plenty of water. Oh my god.
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.
Speaker 1: I really yeah, I think it.
Speaker 2: Running to the WM M and H studios is exciting.
He went to Urgent Care. Wow.
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.
Speaker 1: Was gotcha, gotcha, Wow, that's incredible.
Speaker 2: How many IVY bags?
Speaker 3: Again, you too, And that's some special drink. I don't
know what it was.
Speaker 2: I mean, we need to find that out.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's that's what.
Speaker 2: I needs to break your record. Yea, it's a special drink.
Speaker 1: Well, so is that is that the longest run you've done?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah yeah, Vermont was like seven miles or eight
miles less. Yeah, it's online.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Not only has it done New Hampshire, he's done Vermont
and Rhode Island as well, top to bottom.
Speaker 1: Really okay?
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.
Speaker 1: How long did it take to do Rhode Island?
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. 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.
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, that's funny. Obviously you were not shot.
Speaker 3: No, thank god.
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?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's that.
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.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're in the woods, the fields.
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.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
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.
Speaker 1: Oh really, oh yeah, oh wow.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, any encounters with like wild animals or
anything while you're running.
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.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so that.
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.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, yeah, cheers. That's intense. So then what's
the recovery like after you do one of these?
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.
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.
Speaker 2: So I feel like I feel wrong that my name
is so easy compared to you Justin.
Speaker 1: You do you have an easy name?
Speaker 2: I mean, if you really hyphen it is just he
And then dash the letter V.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is why he's the main event tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.
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.
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. So that'll be
the grand finale for tonight's show.
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. You got to show up tonight, Matt. Stories
about people you've knocked out, celebrities, celebrities you've knocked out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he caused my spinal league.
Speaker 1: Right, like knocked out, like assaulted?
Speaker 2: What are we talking about? I'll give you the story here,
all right. The New England Patriots playing the Pittsburgh Steelers
for a chance to go to the super Bowl Giles Stadium.
I'm there able to what witness the game? A huge game.
The Patriots win, They're on their way to the super Bowl,
which means I'm excited because I have credentials to go
to the super Bowl. Oh we got to call it, though, Matt.
Oh And as they might have toll this story here,
we'll see who's on see what this is all?
Speaker 1: I see who's online. We don't usually I call since

Speaker 1: Thank you, and I'm yours.
Speaker 4: Yes, and I wanted to call and share my story
with you about when Kyle knocked me out.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh my.
Speaker 2: God, Jean, I thank you for being able to tell
this story better. As you know, it's it's only one
sided for me. But to have the great Gene Simmons
be able to tell his side, it's really it means
a lot to me right now, Gene, I'm fascinated.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear this.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, gentlemen, it's Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 1: Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 2: Yes, I feel again.
Speaker 4: It was my third farewell tour, Matt. We were on
our third farewell tour, yes, about forty years ago, and
Kyle came in saying he was pressed right, and I
told him I didn't like his face right and he
knocked me out.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I had acne.
Speaker 4: As he took all my backstage pauses and he handed
them out. Well, his athletic jock fronts.
Speaker 2: This is why we trained for marathons so we can
run away from Jeene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, that's terrible. Well, I'm sorry to hear that,
Geene Simmons, No Kiss.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't advocate bullying Matt, but I deserved it.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, all right, how did he knock you out?
Did he punch you? Did he hit you with a
you know, like you know, the thing you breathed fire with,
or I don't know. How did you knock you out?
Speaker 4: The man punched me right in the throat. He had
white makeup all over his knuckles.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's terrible.
Speaker 4: That's how the police captured him. They knew who it was.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Wow, right in the throat.
Speaker 4: And I admire Kyle for his bravery and punching out
Jean Simmons of Kiss. So for the next fifteen minutes, Kyle,
if you've got to Kiss online dot com, we'll give
you fifteen percent of anything you want.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I'll even sign this get a lunchbox.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Wait are you saying this is a sale
for everybody? Or are you saying this is a sale
for Kyle?
Speaker 4: No, just for Kyle.
Speaker 1: Okay, Kyle.
Speaker 4: When you get there, just type in keyword I knocked
out Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 2: Oh Kiss, is Kiss all capitalized? I gotta make sure
the capitalization.
Speaker 4: You're down to thirteen minutes.
Speaker 1: No, oh, about fifteen percent off of anything? That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Anything anything from our coffee monkst to our kiss coffin.
And you have the kiss coffin.
Speaker 1: I do, of course. I can't wait to die, so
I can't spend eternity in it.
Speaker 4: Yes, Matt has that on layaway.
Speaker 1: I do. Yes, well, so hopefully, hopefully I don't die
too soon.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, Matt, I have to go. I pulled over
to call, and I'm actually double parked right now in
a homeless person's head to go again.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jean Simmons Simmons, Yes.
Speaker 2: Kids, just hanging up.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad they that story got out there.
You know, that's really important.
Speaker 1: You plunged him right in the.
Speaker 2: Throat, just he was so much taller than I expected.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was probably had his boots on.
Speaker 2: He had his boots on, and it was just, uh,
those the shoulder pads are scary looking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: I definitely had to escape as quick as they could.
Speaker 1: Uh huh for my life. Yes, and success, Well, it's remarkables.
Speaker 2: You should have been there.
Speaker 3: I'm taking all this in right now.
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.
Speaker 2: You know, if you can get away with it, it's
not assault.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: The look in his eyes when I rang the doorbell
this morning, I.
Speaker 1: Thought we were you know, really Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, what do you do about? He was
going back to the kiss tape.
Speaker 3: He's started grabbing me by the shirt and said.
Speaker 1: Jean, And I said, what's going on? Oh my god,
Oh my god. I could have been calamitous. All right, So.
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.
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. 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.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yes, Jean Simmons take that.
Speaker 1: All right? Then what happened.
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.
Speaker 1: Well, all right, you made sure he was okay. But
what was his reaction?
Speaker 2: Was his smile?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Really, it was all good for me.
Speaker 1: I was like, he seems like a legitimately nice guy.
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.
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.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just trying to lick it up.
Speaker 3: Maybe bon bon Jovi was purposely trying to crypt trip
Kyle for the payback of Gene Simmons.
Speaker 1: Maybe they could be in cahoots.
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.
Speaker 1: Well said, so, so have you have you knocked out
any other celebrities? H?
Speaker 3: D m X?
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.
Speaker 2: So I'm mad. I'm I'm a worldwide, worldwide. I've been
to Sweden, Australia because of you.
Speaker 1: Is he?
Speaker 2: I pleaded the fifth?
Speaker 1: Did you kill the MX? Sorr?
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.
Speaker 1: Connection.
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.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, big Zeus.
Speaker 2: Big Zeus, that was that was her second personal could
big Zeus could be working for Taylor Swift now.
Speaker 1: Zeus he was not.
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.
Speaker 1: Wow.
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.
Speaker 1: So you hit him in the head.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was my elbow?
Speaker 1: Oh okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
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?
Speaker 2: I was like, ride or die, That's how I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: Sure he appreciated that.
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.
Speaker 1: But so what you're saying is you you tried to
kill Justin in a sense.
Speaker 2: He's he wanted to be a professional boxer. And I said, no,
I think he did.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: I just a couple of weeks ago, somebody was asking
me for busting gets out there. Yeah, so it still happens.
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.
Speaker 1: Watch out little camera issue for our audio listeners.
Speaker 2: Sorry, that's not what I'm very excited to. Just show
you my hands, not what I they can see the
SpongeBob fo. Yeah, I'm in a little trouble here with
these camera. Okay, here we go. Think I got it,
but this gentleman was trying decided he needed uh I
don't know what he needed. I just know, Wow, we're
really zooming in here. This is kind of fun, Matt
to watch. I realized we're getting entertainment all around. Oh
now we're going a little bit of it. So this
guy then assaulted the parking attendants from the double tree.
Really I called nine on one and he was ended
up being arrested, and he ended up being uh detained
and got taken away in an ambulance. And you know,
it was a very interesting day. Is At the same time,
it was Justin's daughter was here as well, and it
was a very scary situation.
Speaker 1: We got afore before you do that, justin we have
another we have another call. Hi, welcome to Matt Conderson
Unleashed is.
Speaker 2: This and it goes silent. Oh, hello, Apparently apparently Gene
Simmons might be coming calling back.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't try again again. Whoever that was.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep going is got to keep the store going.
But it was a very scary situation. And that's what was.
Speaker 3: So we hear I'm gonna tell you my side. Okay,
so we hear a loud but and the guy was
trying to force Kyle opens the door and then Kyle's like,
one armored him back.
Speaker 2: My Daughter's like, not true at all. I shut the
door on him.
Speaker 1: All right, he opened the door, But it's a better
sorry if you're trying to one arm him exactly.
Speaker 2: He wasn't a celebrity, so I wasn't gonna take him.
Speaker 1: Out, Okay, Yeah, so you didn't have to punch him
in the thrown.
Speaker 2: An album him in the head. I was like, I
don't know what this guy wants, you know, it's got
to find out. Yeah, But what I mean at the
same time, you don't know, I didn't see anything. I
wanted to see what's going on right Uh And next thing,
you know, trying to reach in and we don't know.
Now it's like, well, we're now inside. We're kind of
trapped by this crazy person. That's to I need to
get help or I mean, we don't know what the
guy wanted, but I know is that he got a
two thousand dollars ambulance right to Elliott Hospital or calk
Moogs Center, one or the other. Well, wow, that really
really excited. Oh, we're trying.
Speaker 1: Again, Matt.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try it again.
Speaker 1: We'll see one more time. Hello caller around the air. Hello,
Oh man, I don't hear anything.
Speaker 2: I don't hear anything either.
Speaker 1: As all right, man, it's not working.
Speaker 2: See what I just messed with the phone lines now anymore.
Speaker 3: It's worse than the doorbell.
Speaker 2: So if we hear a bang on the door, I'm
just going to ignore it. Today it's we got to get.
Speaker 3: The fire extinguisher off the wall in case the guy
was coming in. We were ready to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, it was crazy.
Speaker 3: We thought it was over.
Speaker 1: So why did he end up with the ambulance ride.
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. And you know, it's kind of a
scary thing. And I went to softball. You had to
go to do something with your daughter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we went to jiu jitsu. But Matt,
if we make it out of here and you know
that doesn't happen, it's a successful day for That's.
Speaker 1: Right, exactly, that's right.

a caller. Let's we'll try again. Hi, caller, you're on

Speaker 2: Yeah, chicken wings, big big chicken.
Speaker 1: All right, bye, Kelly, all right, wow, So, uh tell
us about for listeners, just join us again about tonight
the show tonight.
Speaker 2: All right, so Strange route upstairs. If you have been
to the attic area, the Strange row there can hold
it about eighty people and we're looking forward to a
great show.
Speaker 1: Here.
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.
Speaker 1: Oh excellent, excellent, Yeah, did you want to speak more
about that justin the foundation?
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. Oh no kidding, Yeah, wow, I thought
that's pretty cool.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: The Oh cool cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to
do g kundo, but that was a long time ago.
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.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't know, I mean, you ever beat up
any celebrities or you know.
Speaker 2: No, Okay, I could be next.
Speaker 3: I thought when it was legal, right ye, sanctioned event
right now?
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.
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. 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.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
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.
Speaker 1: No kidding. Yeah, wow, how many miles is that? You know?
Speaker 5: No?
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.
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.
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.
Speaker 1: Oh jeez. Yeah that sounds miserable, but.
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.
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.
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. Yeah, New Hampshire. The Border
Patrol actually let us in, like they one of the
guys saw it on wm R.
Speaker 1: Oh goody.
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.
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?
Speaker 2: No, don't let him break your record?
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.
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.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, oh wow, that's that's incredible.

Speaker 1: I don't know anything about what he just said. I
I don't watch sports ball, no flue, no clue.
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.
Speaker 3: Oh, which team would the striper be?
