writing that spot where you are and doing the same
exact thing. So it's a great to be a guest
here and uh, to be a part of your show.
I really haven't been here on Saturdays. You we've really
moved here and been a part of something like this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say you made uh you made
regular appearances when I was on in afternoons at the
old place, but yeah, since we've been here, 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 yeah, it's 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.
Speaker 2: Off the Mark Sports. Yes, Sunday morning from ten to noon.
Another thing that you know from from day one, I
was Wednesdays from I think it was six to eight.
I remember it oriationally 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 part time,
w and A.
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna guess some radio cake and everything
like that. We'll figure out what we should do to celebrate.
Speaker 1: I don't know anymore.
Speaker 2: Okay, sweets anymore. We 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 e bananas. The text is weird to me.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 2: This is mind blowing. This is mind blowing.
Speaker 1: And we have justin d flu Mary. All right, well right, 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 Navarrus. I didn't
know if it was Navarus or Nevaras and then 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 in mind the others.
Speaker 3: Like Smith compared to that, right right?
Speaker 1: But uh so welcome so justin this is my first
time meeting you. Yeah, so welcome to the show. Thank you,
I understand you. Uh would you like to talk about
how you arrived here today? How you got her?
Speaker 3: I ran a little over ten miles here today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from Merrimack yep. And and why.
Speaker 4: Uh so training train I have four marathons that off
of April two within twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Oh good for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so just trying to get the training runs in
while we have the time.
Speaker 1: No, that makes sense, Yeah, it's good. Good multitasking, right,
you got to get to a radio appearance, might as
well get 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 up.
Speaker 1: Yah, thank god, that's good. It's not like it's cold
out or anything. Yeah, it was freezing run in here freezing.
Now we've had some we've had some cold weather. So
why are you guys here? You got a you got
an event tonight.
Speaker 2: Right tonight, Strange grew upstairs. We Justin and I I've
been friends for a number of months now, and we
kind of came up with an idea for 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 Abbot Foundation with
a way to raise money. And with the world that
we're living in these days, it's kind of and laughs
are needed, and why not benefit to get some 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 4: Now, Okay, yeah, so I we I had my own
medical incident.
Speaker 3: I guess we'll call it.
Speaker 4: I was leaking a sereno's spinal fluid from from my
brain out of my spine.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 4: I connected through the Heather Abbot Foundation through a work
partner I do. I own a safety consulting company. We
third partied in a security contract. And his wife actually
is on the board of directors for the Heather Abbit Foundation.
And I got to hear her beautiful story. She was
actually standing at one of the bombing sites 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 action
and they had to lose their leg and essentially that's
life changing.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: But then the money that we race tonight will actually help,
uh 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, oh
my god, that that does sound No, in all seriousness,
that sounds very that sounds pretty pretty rough.
Speaker 4: It wasn't fun, yeah, but you know it's it's how
I met Kyle and how I met a lot of people.
Speaker 3: So to be honest, what.
Speaker 1: Do you mean, Sky, you met Kyle? It was his fault. Yeah,
he did it.
Speaker 3: 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: Life is about forgiveness.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid it's gonna happen to me. Now, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Fault touched on those buttons. I already already try to
turn off my mic once.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be leaking things from from other things.
And it's 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?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: What were there? Yeah, like I'm curious about symptoms and stuff, so.
Speaker 4: I'll give you the real cliff notes. But yeah, I
was a former mm A fighter. I was a boxer
and oh wow, and I just came off winning the
Open Martial Arts Championship in New York.
Speaker 2: Do you see that justin he's scared, he's backing up
for you. Yeah, yeah, I am, He's already was like, oh,
very very very uh comforting to see that.
Speaker 4: And I started getting headaches and basically, you know, long
story short it was, they found out it was connected
to an inner 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.
Speaker 3: She was an e R doctor.
Speaker 4: 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 did it.
Speaker 1: That's not something you ever want to hear.
Speaker 4: And you know, I was 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.
Speaker 3: Really awful and painful.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 1: Really, Kyle was the.
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh New Hampshire to Nashua, New Hampshire.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: And Kyle was the filmmaker.
Speaker 5: There was that.
Speaker 2: The finish line, which was a mess in itself. While
like just keeps telling us his part of the story,
all right.
Speaker 4: 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 car.
Speaker 3: Out, you're walking, I was like, I can barely freaking run.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Because 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 genuinely
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 uh,
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 event.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, we had a local ski mountain back out.
They agreed to do a race and then they backed out.
Speaker 3: I don't know why. And you know, I was like,
do you think we could do a comedy show?
Speaker 4: And Kyle's like yes, and he literally has been like
behind the scenes planning it.
Speaker 3: He sold the.
Speaker 2: Most tickets out of all of us this morning.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to give him. You know, he's just
the type of guy he is.
Speaker 4: That's why I wanted to sit next to him and
have him fix my medical issue with my.
Speaker 3: Heath, even though he caused it, 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.
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, I'm a lake guy. It could have been worse.
It could have been eight forty five. What would you do?
Speaker 2: Then 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 grosser 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.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, So.
Speaker 2: 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 security set comes over. He's like, yeah,
you can't be here, like really just absolute jerk faces,
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 doing correct?
Speaker 2: 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 go backtrack and figure out where Justin
is running from. 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'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, 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 have a 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 dif from the house, like I have
to get him going by looking good. But also 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 friends like, hey, we got a good finish 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 about.
No one tells me this that 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 the fit? Oh no, And so I missed. Like
if you look at the footage, I didn't really get
a good shot 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 that's that's that's the day we met, Matt.
Speaker 1: Oh that's the day you met.
Speaker 2: That's the day we met. Yeah, this is me just
yelling at him saying and it also it was.
Speaker 1: There, it was really humid.
Speaker 2: You know, he wants to be standing outside watching this
man running past you that doesn't look like David house Off.
Speaker 1: Getting hassled by mall security.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Wait, so where was the finish So the finish line
was not on No, we had to move.
Speaker 2: Into a truck trucker area in the parking lot, so.
Speaker 3: It had to be.
Speaker 4: So everyone who did it before, we were trying to
break the record. Everyone who did it before finished at
the Peasant Lane mob So oh yeah, so we were
trying to get the record.
Speaker 3: So we got it in four and a half days.
Speaker 4: 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 were 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 uh 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.
Speaker 3: So Canada.
Speaker 4: We actually started in Canada through mass and ran through
the whole state.
Speaker 1: Gotcha, Yeah, north to south Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 4: But it was funny because when I when I did
meet Kyle, we were like, I was.
Speaker 3: Like, how many mall entrances are they?
Speaker 1: That was like that it was a lot. 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 Peasleyan Mall is a little
different here and you I'm looking for the Revoke casino
and now they're revocasino. Was like, Nope, can't be on
our property. I'm like, this 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, this guy, I gotta get the shot
of him crossing the finish line. Where's the finish line?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh wow, jezu, that's nuts.
Speaker 3: Okay, we have comedy right now?
Speaker 1: You do you do?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: So how long did it take to run that? Total?
Speaker 3: Four days, four hours and forty six minutes.
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: Yeah, is the least you're thinking, no, 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 you.
Speaker 4: Walk run you power we call the power hiking in
ultra world. That's why we have the poles.
Speaker 1: Oh the polls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I probably slept for six hours in the four days.
In fact, I actually let my crui sleep because we
had I was blessed with the friendship.
Speaker 3: We had four people follow us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like so one 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 to like just like also
like in case I need like you know, anything quick,
like you know, loube or anything. And so basically what
happened was, you know, I wanted them to sleep because
they're driving, they're everything.
Speaker 3: So I honestly, if I had like the supplies, I
would have liked to keep going.
Speaker 4: 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 Mountains and I.
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 4: 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?
Speaker 4: No, 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 two
forty or the Arizona three hundred, they'll take a nap for.
Speaker 3: Like an hour on the side.
Speaker 4: But we did hallucinate it out there, which was pretty
cool and really seeing that side of like the ultra
running world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that common.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did like a thirty hour 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 poles, not to like
take pressure off my leggs, just kind of so I
could stand up and keep going straight.
Speaker 2: Oh I might not be able to walk a straight
line tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my, oh myne 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.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 1: And then like.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I would take this is pizza out the window
and I'd walk 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.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: How was the day?
Speaker 4: 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 and really, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think it running to the wm M and H studios
as exciting. He too, Urgent Care.
Speaker 4: Wow, And then they kind of thought I was. I
thought they were gonna call somebody. They 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. I 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, 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 needs.
Speaker 2: To break your record? It's a special drink.
Speaker 1: Well, so is that is that the longest run you've done?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, Vermont was like seven miles or eight miles less.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's online. Yeah, so not only has it done
New Hampshire, he's done Vermont and Rhode Island as well,
top to bottom.
Speaker 1: Really okay?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to do Maine this year, but actually
so I went in business. We had a client sign
on to us. Yeah, 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? Hours?
Speaker 3: So it's sixty three hours?
Speaker 4: Yeah, sixty three miles.
Speaker 3: Sixty three hours? No, it was sixty three point two
one myles.
Speaker 4: You actually end at the lighthouse and then there's the ocean,
but you have to run by Taylor Swift House.
Speaker 3: So that's where it gets interesting. I was telling Kyle Is, like.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: New Hampshire. You know, we dressed up as a male model,
didn't have to dress up.
Speaker 4: 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. Aaron's running with me behind me, right,
she'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 we're 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, thanks 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?
Speaker 2: Vermont really yeah, yeah, the.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: 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 motels.
Speaker 2: Lay, Yeah, you're in the woods, it was the fields.
Speaker 4: Honestly, Vermont was eight miles shorter. But what we went
throughout in Vermont was like way worse than New Hampshire.
Speaker 3: Really, oh my god. But uh so it was it
was just as hot.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: I thought it was over one hundred.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 4: So one of my friends, Teresa, is a nurse. She
actually had to give me IVS in the car. Yeah,
you brought and we learned from New Hampshire. But uh,
I would say, just we went into this wrong place.
Speaker 2: She might I want on stage, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I don't know.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: Kyle's Off the Mark Show a little plugfully.
Speaker 4: But and then take the bottom they had to take
the bottoms of my feet because they were so bruised.
And 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.
Speaker 1: Oh really, and they were like I.
Speaker 4: Can't you know, I know we're live, so I'll censor myself.
There were very very distraught and saying things to us
like and we're just sitting there trying to eat, and
we're like, why are they so angry?
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 4: 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 4: 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 below on.
Speaker 3: The side of it.
Speaker 4: This was in Tilton, Okay, and yeah, and then in
Pittsburgh we had a bear sighting as well.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so those are.
Speaker 4: 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
probably from like here to you know, like fifteen feet away.
Speaker 3: 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?
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're walk in weird for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, if you're just joining us,
we have Justin de flumeriy Am I still saying it right?
Speaker 3: You got it?
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking at the Yeah. And of course Kyle
Hevey from Off the Mark Sports.
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's just he and
then dash the letter V. That's all it is.
Speaker 3: This is why he's the main event tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I guess the stories that I'm gonna be telling about
various people I've 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 filming figure skating today at one o'clock, big big
day for me here to 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 where 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 failed 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 a 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 stories about people you've knocked out? Oh, yeah, what
do you 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, think it caused my spinal league.
Speaker 1: I know, right, like knocked out, like assaulted. What are
we talking about?
Speaker 2: 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.
Speaker 5: Oh.
Speaker 2: We got to call it, though, Matt, Oh, they might
have to this story here.
Speaker 1: See who's on?

Speaker 1: Thank you, and I'm yours.
Speaker 5: Yes, I wanted to call and share my story with
you about when Kyle knocked me out.
Speaker 1: 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 5: Excuse me, gentlemen, It's Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 1: Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 2: Yes, I feel again.
Speaker 5: It was my third farewell tom. 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 1: Oh my god. I had an.
Speaker 5: As he took all my backstage passes and he handed
them out. Well, his athletic jock fronts.
Speaker 2: This is why we traine for marathons. We can run
away from Jeene Simmons of Kiss.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, that's terrible. Well I'm sorry to hear that,
Gene Simmons, No Kiss.
Speaker 5: You know, I don't advocate bullying Matt, but I deserved this.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, how did he knock you out? Did
he punch you? Did he hit you with a like
you know, the thing you breathed fire with, or I
don't know how did he knock you out?
Speaker 5: 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 5: That's how the police captured him. They knew who it was.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Wow, right in the throat.
Speaker 5: And I admire Kyle for his bravery and punching out
Jean Simmons of Kiss. So for the next fifteen minute style,
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 5: No, just just for Kyle.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, Kyle, when you get there.
Speaker 5: 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 5: You're down to thirteen minutes.
Speaker 1: No, oh, but fifteen percent off of anything? That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 5: Anything anything from our coffee monks to our kiss coffin.
Not 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 5: Yes, Matt has that on layaway.
Speaker 1: I do. Yes, well, so hopefully, hopefully I don't die
too soon.
Speaker 5: Yes, well, Matt, I have to go. I pulled over
to call, and I'm actually double park right now in
a homeless person's head, so I have to go again.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Geene Simmons, oh.
Speaker 2: Jean sim Kiss just hanging up.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm glad they that story got out there.
Speaker 1: You know, that's really important. Touched to right in the throat.
Speaker 2: 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 quickly as I could.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, for my life. Yes, and success. Well, it's remarkable.
Speaker 2: You should have been there.
Speaker 4: 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. It was that's amazing,
all right. So back to the fault.
Speaker 2: You know, if you can get away with it, it's
not assault. I don't know the look in his eyes.
When I rang the doorbell this morning, I thought we
were you know, really, I was like, what do you
do about?
Speaker 3: He was going back to the kiss tape. He started
grabbing me by the shirt and.
Speaker 1: Said Jean, and I said, what's going on? Oh my god,
Oh my god. I could have been calamitous. All right,
So getting back to.
Speaker 2: The super Bowl, So yes, jell Stadio. 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, a 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. Okay,
I've now assaulted this person and they have gray hair.
Oh no, And I feel so bad right now. My
my ego has 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
looked down and I realized, Okay, they're getting up and
they have gray hair. I'm gonna look them. And I
look them in the face and I realized it's bon Jovi. No,
I just knocked John bon four hundred million dollar musician.
I just assaulted and knocked to the ground. Wow, 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 got great eyes, he's got a big smile, and
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 was smile?
Speaker 2: Oh really, it was all good for me. I was like,
he seems like a legitimately nice guy. I never met him,
but I wanted to hang out with John instead of Matthew's. Wow,
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, right,
but it's okay. So everything's okay between John and I. Okay,
looking forward to him being at the show tonight as well.
You know, I made sure I sent a personal invite
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 at
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 4: Maybe bon bon Jovi was purposely trying to crypt trip
Kyle for the payback of Geene Simmons.
Speaker 2: Maybe they could be in cahoots 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?
Speaker 5: D m X?
Speaker 1: All right, I have to hear this, d m X DMX.
I know he spent time in New Hampshire.
Speaker 2: He did spend time in New hamp in New Hampshire.
It did not, It did not. So I'm mad. I'm
I'm a worldwide. I'm worldwide. I've been to Sweden, Australia
because of you.
Speaker 1: Is he? I plead the fifth did you kill d MX?
Is that right?
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 burd
Grane 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 mainly realized that
her and I have something in a common. We both
like music together.
Speaker 1: Yea connection.
Speaker 2: Connection. When it's a connection, you know it's good. Have
you had an instant connection with a stripper lately?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Never? No, I know.
Speaker 2: I invited her to that wedding and everything she did not.
She ghosted me. She ghosted me, Matt 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?
Speaker 3: Now, oh god for 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 I next thing,
you know, I see this man eating chicken wings at
the strip club and I'm I'm now I'm upset. I'm like,
this guy cannot be taken my girl eating chicken wings.
And so I got a little closer and go a
little corner, 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 gott 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, Yeah, it was
my elbow, Oh okay? Yeah? And how did he respond
to the city bark at you? Or what I said?
Speaker 2: What you really want?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: 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 Geene Simmons justin d flamery,
watch out tonight, buddy, Wow, watch out you think that
you think this is just for the heather A Foundation.
It's for my own personal need to knock out every
celebrity I get to hang out with.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're out of control that I know that.
Speaker 2: I mean I warned him with the cerebral you know, leaking.
Speaker 1: But so what you're saying is you tried to kill
Justin in a sense.
Speaker 2: He's he wanted to be a professional boxer, And I said, no, I.
Speaker 3: Think he did.
Speaker 4: Try and tell him the story about last time we came,
and I thought it was the set of my own setup.
Speaker 2: This is not this place. Uh is a special you know,
people still think it's a bus station. It's not.
Speaker 1: Oh I know. 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. Yeah,
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 the enter and it was whoa, hello there, let

sinking in.

we're really zooming in here. This is kind of fun,
Matt to watch. I realized we're getting entertainment all around. Yeah, oh,

this guy then assaulted the parking attendants from the double Tree.
Speaker 1: Really uh.
Speaker 2: 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,

Speaker 4: The fire extinguisher off the wall in case the guy
was coming in.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, it was crazy. We thought it
was over, So why did he end up with a
ambulance ride. That's what got scort.
Speaker 2: 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
want just stopball. You had to go to do something
with your daughter.

great show.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: We got some fellow comedians from the region. Derek Corney,
Paul Landwere, Nick Sands, and uh the fabulous Gigi are
all going to be performing justin here is our MC
and again benefiting the Heather Abbot Foundation to bring in uh,
you know, people that have lost a limber. 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 Abbot 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?
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, the foundation is driven by Heather obviously,
and like I said earlier, it's just you know, they
provide prosthetics the 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.
Oh no, kidd, right next to me, you saw my
shirt prosthetic. So I'm about the foundation. So the money
we raised tonight, or at least my charitable for the
year of twenty twenty six Boston Marathon Heather contributions is
actually going to my neighbor, which is special.
Speaker 3: 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 it? Sounds like you don't still
do it, or maybe you do used to do mma?
Speaker 4: Is that I I used to competitively fight, Yeah, boxing
and kickboxing.
Speaker 3: I still do jiu jitsu. Oh you train muay Thai
just for fun though now I don't want to get
hit in the Oh cool cool.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 4: I got the silver medal, the golden gloves, and I
wanted to open my Oh that's very cook.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, a little little uh brush shoulder off there
justin ye yes, sorry, just a little. I'm talking about
beating up DMX and a guy outside. You're talking about
silver gloves.
Speaker 1: Well we don't know, I mean, you ever beat up
any celebrities or you know? No, Okay, I could be next.
Speaker 4: I only fought when it was legal, right, sanctioned event
right now?
Speaker 1: That makes sense, That makes sense. And then so what's
what's next? As far as do you have another run?
You're going to be doing or I assume you're going
to keep doing these.
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, big summer for us.
Speaker 4: 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 Rock, on which
you have to do the marathon with fifteen pounds bat weighted.
Speaker 3: Best or a backpack.
Speaker 4: Really, it used to actually be on the marathon course,
but then they xnay backpacks obviously what happened. Okay, so
it's still put on by the Boston Athletic Association, but
they moved to the Conquering 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.
Speaker 3: So I'm doing two marathons in twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then and then I have one in between on
April twelfth in New York, Okay, I'm kind of nervous about.
Speaker 3: 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 4: No 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 one hundred. Yeah yeah, wow,
yeah what happens if it did?
Speaker 1: Do you ever run a new uh like when you're
doing one of these like bad weather? Yeah, I mean
obviously all the.
Speaker 4: Time from Downpourt uh oh good Downport for the essentially
a whole day. Oh my bitch 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.
Speaker 3: You know. I didn't really think about it.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: But you know, so that's honestly, it's just strategy.
Speaker 4: I would tell the Teresa who screwed me, like, hey,
put the heat on, you 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 I'm running like Madden running that first of
all Vermont, So maybe they didn't think of anything of it.
But like Manton's seeing a guy who's like, I'm all
tatted up, right, I'm a bigger guy running down the street,
down pouring, 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, or I.
Speaker 4: Would know the mindset's been there. But like in Vermont,
like I said, it was just like it was just me.
So 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 Forrest Gump and I didn't have my passport.
Speaker 3: Yeah, New Hampshire.
Speaker 4: The Border Patrol actually let us in, like they one
of the guys saw it on wm R.
Speaker 1: Oh good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we actually got to go in Canada.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 3: 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 it was the roots are on FKT.
Speaker 4: Oh 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 right 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. But 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.
Speaker 3: In where you went.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you do the course, yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: And like so that's time added, right, so it's like
two three extra hours. So 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.
Speaker 3: So we didn't have to stop. Yeah yeah, oh.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's incredible.
Speaker 2: I know what bake b does to me.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Why do you think I went to
the Double chap.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, now it's all coming together here.
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,

I don't watch sports ball No flu, no flue.
Speaker 2: But there's this game called basketball I've imagined by doctor
James Nasmith, same 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 five people versus five people,
and they have to throw this ball into a net
ten feet in the air.
