  Speaker 1: All right, Justin, time to start the after show. Stop
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: obsessing about running shoes. Yes, that's my latest obsession. Hi, everybody.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: After show podcast. Happy Monday. And yeah, you know me.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I have an addictive personality. The good news is these
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: days I can catch it. I'm aware of it. I
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: know when it's happening and I can do my best
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to kind of control it. But, you know, with my newfound. like,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say love of running. I'm now
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: obsessing about running shoes. I want the best ones. And
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: so I don't, I have like three or four pairs.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I just got a brand new one pair, but now
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I want all of them. I want all of them
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: so I can rotate through them and basically find the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: perfect pair because my foot's kind of iffy, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I'm a size 10 and a half. I If I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: put the 11 on, there might be too much room
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in the toe box. See what I've seen? I'm obsessing
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: right now on the podcast. So I've just been– my
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: algorithm is now all running shoes. So I'll see a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: video and say to myself, I need those. So I'll
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: go to the website and I do this game where
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I add them to the cart but then I don't
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: buy them because I have– I come to my senses
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: basically and I'm like I don't need all these shoes.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I know it's a problem because I have 100 pairs
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of sneakers. Adidas, all kinds of sneakers, dunks, all in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: cases in my room. And they're all full, right? I, I,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: there's no more room. There's no more empty cases. So
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: now I've acquired in the past couple of months, three
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: or four, I think four pair of running shoes. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: now those are all piling up, piling up on the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: floor in front of my sneakers. And my wife's like,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Like we need to, so yeah,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that's my latest obsession. But, um, you know, I'm having
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: issues with the running, um, Not the running part. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: can run, and I can run for a long time.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It's more of things like my ankle and my calf,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: pain there, soreness, which I'm really trying to work on mobility,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: things like that, strengthening, trying to really take breaks, not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: run too much, not add miles or add extra time
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: suddenly because I know that can cause stuff. So I'm
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: completely obsessed with it. in High Rocks and all that stuff.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at today. So before I started
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the after show, when the show ended, I immediately was
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: like on there shopping for sneakers, adding things to my
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: cart that I'm not going to buy. What's wrong with me? Anyway,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hope you had a great weekend, everybody. I've got some
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: stuff to dive into here before we get there. Let's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: get some talkbacks going.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Justin, why am I sitting here in my car fully
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: crying at that reel you sent about the dad and
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the son, um, Totally connect to that, though I'm a mom,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: but mom guilt is very real. I work full time,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and when I come home from work, I do everything
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I can to shut off the work crap and be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: totally present for the kids and put that phone away. Anyway,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: thanks for everything.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an emotional one for sure. I played
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that on the after show on Friday. If you missed it,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: go check out the Friday episode. Just a reel that
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I saw of this guy talking about Well, you have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to just go listen to it, but basically talking about
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: being a dad and spending time with your children and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that it's not all about money and what you can
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: provide for them, but more importantly, how much time you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: can spend with them. And I really identify with that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so much. It's not that I struggle with that because
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I really do spend time with my kids. I don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: really do much. I don't really go out. I go
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to the gym. I go to the gym, but that's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: during the day. During the week, they're in school. And
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: then I don't go out during the weeknights. And then
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: very rarely I go out. This past weekend I went out. But,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, every weekend we're in sports. He has baseball.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We do stuff with the kids. So for me it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: more just not being on my phone all the time
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: at the house. That's a big one for me. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a trick that I do is if I'm in the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: living room on my phone and one of my kids
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: walks in, I'll put the phone down. If I hear
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: them coming. So when they enter the room, they're not
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: walking into dad on the cell phone. And sometimes I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: don't put it down in time or I don't hear them.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But typically when they're coming in, they're going to want
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to talk to me or say something. I want me
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to play with them. So when they come in, I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: kind of put the phone down. But yeah, these are
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: all parenting things that I'm learning. I'm learning all this stuff. Listen,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you can never learn it all, right? No matter how
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: old you get, you always got to have an open mind.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You always got to try and do a little bit better.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And that's in all aspects of life. That's in my job.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's in the gym. That's at home. That's my marriage.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Just try to do a little bit better. Cause if
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you're not moving forward, you're moving backwards or worse. You're
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just staying still and you're not making any progress. That's just,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: just what I think. All right. What else we got?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: What's going on, Justin? Just catching up on last week
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: after show podcast. And oh man, oh man, I tell you,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: people just don't have common sense. Like, come on really
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: like how you guys can deny the governor on going
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to show this wasn't something political it was the fact
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: that the governor wanted to go on the show for
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: a simple fact they need to support you know what's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: happening in boston like that's a big thing that was
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: a big contest of course the governor wants to show
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: but i guess common sense isn't common well love the
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: show love.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: You guys thanks man yeah no it's it's fine you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you can't make everybody happy um I just want people
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to understand– I wanted them to understand why she was here.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It wasn't for a political reason. And I know that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: no answer can be good enough for some people, that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they want their opinion heard. But it was more about Massport.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: It was more about the voice of Logan, this really,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really cool contest that we were running. And of course,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the governor of the state wants to be involved. Her
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: voice is currently at Logan. So the voice of Logan,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the new one, is going to be alongside the governor.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't she want to be a part of that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's really– man, it's a tough time for politics and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I think we just do our best
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to have fun and to entertain and to not get
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: too caught up. Although we did play the Trump cut
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of Nicki Minaj's ass on the show today because it
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: was just so crazy. It was just so insane. Like
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? This dude is talking about her
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: giant ass at a rally. It's just wild, wild, wild world.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's like do we live in a simulation world?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man. That's what I always say about the–
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: like with the president and stuff. When I was a kid,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the president was who you strive to be, right? It's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: like you could be president. And so when I was
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: growing up, it was like Bill Clinton. And I know
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: all these people have issues like George Bush, Barack Obama.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's it, right? Clinton. Yeah. And the president
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: was a very highly valued person to be the president
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of the United States. And I'm like, nowadays, in 2026,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: would I tell my son, hey, you could be like Trump?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I would. This dude's up there
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: talking about Nicki Minaj's big ass. It's like, what? What
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: are we doing? Crazy, crazy times. It's like so alarming
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that you just kind of have to laugh sometimes. You
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: just kind of make a joke of it because you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: don't know what else to do. You know, you get
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: put in those awkward situations. You don't know what to do,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: so you just laugh. Anyway. Hi, Justin.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Just listening to Friday's After Show podcast. And I love
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: when you talk about your multi-generational household. I feel like
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: it's going to start going back to that because of
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: how expensive it is to live. I'm so worried about
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: my kids who are 26 and 27, how they're ever
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: going to afford a house. Maybe we'll have to live
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: with them to help them. Who knows?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely a multi-generational house at my house. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it's funny, too, is my dad comes up every weekend.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: He slept over Saturday night because I went out. And yeah,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: so you got like, you know, Nana, then you got
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Nani and you got Jen, Gemma, then you got me,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: my dad, my son. It's definitely I wouldn't have it
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: any other way, though. I think that's how it should be.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: And that's that's just what like my wife's family believe
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that like we're not going to put her in a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: nursing home, you know, and just store her away. And
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that's the whole story with Zeb. You know, my friend Zeb,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who has church at the nursing home every weekend where
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: he does the cardigan thing. You know, these are forgotten people.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I never forget when I first met him and I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: started going to his church with him, I would go
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to the Sunday service. His dad used to do it.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: His dad passed on. Now he does it. And he
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: would tell me about it. He's like, these people, like
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it's in Methuen and their families, their children live in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Methuen right down the street and they don't visit them.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They'll go months without getting a visitor. And it's just really,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: really sad. So, you know, unless, you know, God forbid
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Nana has like really needs real serious care. Then they
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: would go down that road. But otherwise, man, she lives downstairs.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: She lives a good, good life.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Really good life. Happy. Does what she wants. Yeah. It's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: just I like the multigenerational houses. So I mentioned Zeb.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Zeb came to drive custom fit this weekend. We had
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a good time. Had a good workout. He put a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: rail up. That's on my Instagram and his as well.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: At just a busy at Zeb days. He, he got
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: through it, man, but it was tough. You know, he's,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I've made the transition from like just straight bodybuilding, lifting
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: weights to more cardio hybrid fitness. He hasn't, but he's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: showing interest. So it's actually, it actually touched my heart
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: because he texted me earlier in the week and he
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: was like, I miss you. My workouts suck now. Like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go to the gym because they
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: don't have that push. Like, I miss you. And I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: was like, dude, I miss you too. But like, I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: work out every weekend, you know, Saturday, come, come do
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a class with me. You'll love it. It's fun. And
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: so he did. He came. We did the class. And
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: then I had him do a run after because he's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: showing interest in high rocks. So it's an hour-long circuit class.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And then what I do personally is as soon as
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I'm done with the class, tired, I run one kilometer
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: because that's what I do. what you have to do
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: in high rocks. After a station, you have to run.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So you have to run on tired legs. So once
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: we were done, I'm like, all right, that's not over, bud.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: We got to run. And he was dying. But it
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was a good wake-up call because he's like, this is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: what I have to do. I have to improve my fitness.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And then we went to my house, did a sauna.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: We did the hot tub, the ice bath, and spent
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: some good quality bro time. So that was good. Go
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: check out the rail. And, yeah, this weekend I went
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to Have Heart at Big Night Live, hardcore show. That
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: was an experience. I went with my friend Alan, my
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: friend Adam, my friend Mike. It was a guy's night out.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Had a great dinner post-1917. That's a good spot, by
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the way. They have two locations, Redding, Lexington. We went
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to Redding. Had steak, had so much food. Went to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the event, met up with Matt Shearer from WBZ and Jen,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: who you don't know Jen, but Jen is the head
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of digital. She's like the newest employee here. So she's
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a big hardcore person. So went in there. We were
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in like kind of a VIP booth, obviously, because of Buddy,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Buddy Costa, Billy's nephew. And we were right next to
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the stage. So we got to watch it. And it
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was insane, man. Insane. So insane. So much moshing and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: screaming and jumping off the stage. But the real cool
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: part of it was watching my friend Alan because he's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a very good friend of mine, like a brother to me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And he loves hardcore music, loves it. And just to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: see him just turn into this complete freak of happiness,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of happiness was really cool. And I'm watching him and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, man, that's what you want. You want
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: passion in life for things. And so it was a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: great show. I mean, it was a big, big show
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: in the hardcore world. He explained it to me. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: don't really understand it. You know, it's a band that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: was early 2000s. Then they split up. But the lead
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: singer is a singer in another band or two. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: so they haven't performed together in a while. So they're
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: doing four shows this year. So it's a huge deal.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: So completely sold out, by the way. Thing was packed.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But it was a great time. It was a great night.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Great to spend time with my friends. And by the way,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the hardcore... This is what I didn't know. This is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: why you can't judge a book by its cover, right?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And this goes back to something like my gym, right?
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Remember I told the story about my gym and how
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't ever go in there? I'm like, that's a
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: chick gym. I'm not going in there. The bikes and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the cycling, like, no. I lift weights. That's what I do.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Couldn't have been more wrong. Now I left the other
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: gym and now only go to drive, right? That's my
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: number one gym. Same thing with hardcore, right? You might
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: see the videos. You might go to a show and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you see the moshing. It looks angry and they're screaming.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it sounds angry. But if you really
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: listen to the lyrics, there's a good message there because
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of hardcore is about being straight edge. It's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: about not drinking and not drugging and just treating people right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: There really is a message there. It's hard to understand it,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the lyrics, but it's cool. It's cool. So I'll go
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to another one if he'll have me. He actually tries
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to get me to go every weekend, but I can't
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: do that. All right. It's a Monday for me. It's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a rest day. I worked out all weekend long. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: went for a four-and-a-half-mile run with my son, Abel. Young
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Abel ran four-and-a-half miles. Imagine when you talk about spending
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: time with each other. Oh, nothing better than that. Halloween
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Wednesday, the return of Power of Recovery. Yes,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Maddie and Damon, they've been away too long, but they're
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: coming back Wednesday to do the podcast. So any questions, comments,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: please send them in. They would love to hear from you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: If you have anybody in your life is struggling, if
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you're struggling with alcohol, with drugs, you have any questions
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: for them, if you need help, please leave a talk back.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: And also we'll get part two of Damon's story. Remember that?
• 13:43

• 13:47
  Speaker 1: go back to part two. But we have to get
