  Speaker 1: Hello, friends. Welcome into the After Show podcast. Thank you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: for listening. I appreciate it so much. Mondays are always
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a busy day for the After Show. Lots to talk about,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: lots to recap. By the way, always hit the talkbacks.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: If anything goes on in your life that you want
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to talk about or you want me to talk about,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like giving advice. I will if
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you ask me, but anything that happens in your life
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that's worthy of talking always hit the talk backs I
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: want to start with this talk back that I got
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: on the regular show about well today's show but more
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: specifically the topic.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Good morning hi everyone I just want to say I
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: don't know I love your show so much and I've
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: been listening for like 20 years it's getting weird and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: cringy some of these topics I just don't I'm finding
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: myself wanting to change the channel and I don't want
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to do that because I love the team so much
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: but I don't know just food.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: For thought Thank you for listening. Obviously, I appreciate that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: We appreciate that. I played that because I have some
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the topic this morning. Not that it was
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a bad topic, right? But to take you behind the scenes,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you know, we do a segment called Topic Time. We
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: come up with a topic every day, which is not easy, right?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's coming up with something that's relevant, engaging, fun, entertaining, outlandish.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, it can kind of check any of those
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: boxes or all of those boxes. And so we tackle
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: this as a collective effort. That's Billy, Lisa, myself, producer
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Riley every single day. And we all come in with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: different ideas and then we lock it down. And I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: not saying that that was a bad topic. But I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: did not love it. I'll be honest with that. Although
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: we did get some crazy things. What she said right there,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I get and I understand that. I mean it was funny, right?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: We have this ability to turn anything kind of into entertainment,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: which is our job. And some days are way better
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: than others. But my topic for this morning was, you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I watched Dakota Johnson's monologue and she talked a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: about dating musicians. And so obviously Verity, big movie in theaters,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Dakota Johnson is everywhere. And she dates a lot of musicians, right?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: We've talked about that on the show. And so, you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I had the thought of like, what about a topic
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: of what career would you never date again? That was
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: my thought because I feel like that would generate some
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: good calls and some good talkbacks. Like what's a breakup
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: that you had where that person had a career? Well,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you will not ever date somebody that has that career
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: because of that person. I don't know. That was just
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: my thought. And it's not that the crew did not
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: like it. They liked it. But then Billy had the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: weird running with the woman with the triple nipple and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: he wanted to do that one. And I didn't push
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: hard enough and I feel like I maybe should have.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I guess that's my point here in playing that talkback.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like– because if I pushed harder on it,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he definitely would have been like, you know what? Let's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just do your topic. He just floated that and I said, well,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: do you want to do that? And he's like, yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good topic. But then during it,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of course, we're taking calls and taking talkbacks about the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: nipples and weird body parts. And he's like, I don't
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: even know if I can do this and continue. Oh my,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to take another call. And it's like, dude,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it's your idea. Like you were the one that wanted
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to do it. So I guess that kind of gives
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you a little glimpse into the production or the producing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: of this show. I should have pushed harder on it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Not to say that the Dakota Johnson thing was going
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to be this great, great topic. I just feel like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it would have been fun. I think we could have
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: got a lot of calls. Maybe we'll do it tomorrow.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I know it's like days away from the SNL hosting.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But maybe.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But like, yeah, when we started doing the topic and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: getting the calls, I'm like, is this weird? Like it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: seven 30 in the morning. We're talking about nipples, you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: kids are in the car, but then it's like, you're
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: locked in, you're going with it, you know? And it's like,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: then it's, I need to do what I can as
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: a participant of the show to try to make it engaging.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah. And by the way, if you have any
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: topic time ideas, I'll take those as well. Coming up
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with a good topic time every day is not the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: easiest thing. Some days are easier than others. And then again,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it's like walking that line of inappropriate versus appropriate. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: that's a lot about what the meetings are behind the
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: scenes is walking that line and not crossing it. That's
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: kind of what that is. You know who used to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: say that?
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Matty.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Funny enough. Oh, God. The comments are still coming in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: on that. There was a Globe article this weekend that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: kind of covered the podcast that he did. So I'll
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: play one.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: This is for Justin. I just listened to the podcast
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: for the after show, the day after Maddie's show, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to acknowledge you for the way that
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I feel like you've handled this whole situation over the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: last five years.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You've been so in.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: The middle, and I just think it speaks so much
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to your character, the way that you can acknowledge the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: things that you're grateful for with him, but also it
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: just shows your integrity that you're not going to be
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: a stand for the other stuff and the slander.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of DMs about this topic, about
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the article, about my podcast last week. And I did
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: not play that message to, you know, to big myself up.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: But I believe that, you know, I believe in doing
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the right thing and saying the right thing. And you
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: know what? Two things can be true. Yeah, I stand
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: by that. You know, I always had a good relationship
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: with Matt. You know, he was always there for me. Never, ever,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: ever disrespected me. It was everybody else, not me. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it sucked kind of standing back and watching it all happen.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And it's a tough thing, man, because yeah, do I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: have regrets on not speaking up looking back?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But then it's like, I'm in this position. This is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my career. I guess it's the same position in a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: sense that Lisa was in and Billy, you know, like
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: this is my career. This is my livelihood. I've worked
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: so hard to get here, but like, So there's that
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: part of it. But then the other part of it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is I'm also going to speak the truth of what's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: real and what's not. And some of the things being
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: said are just not true. They're just not true. So yes,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's true that– and I'll always be honest about that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Billy and Lisa know that. I've told Matt that many times.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: This isn't about him and I. Our relationship was always good, always, always.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: It was the relationship with everybody else that was not good.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So I was, yes, in the middle the whole time.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Doing my best to not play both sides but kind
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of remain neutral in between because I'm not just going
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to side with Billy and Lisa or like, you know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, he's a monster. That's it. You know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I can say the truth of what it is. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I did. So if you missed that podcast, you can
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: go listen to it. And, you know, thanking everybody that
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: DM me and stuff. I just want to move on
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: from it. Like it's over. All that stuff is over.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it doesn't come up again. Let's just all– They
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have to just go their separate ways. That's just the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: best thing. And I know it's hard. I know it's hard.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But it just has to be that way, right? Like
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the show has to continue. And, you know, Matty still
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: holds the title of like one of the greatest broadcasters
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of all time. He's in the National Hall of Fame,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: a career unmatched, will never, ever be done again. Hall
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of Famer, you know, retired. Worked 41 years. Amazing, amazing career.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And has an amazing life. Let's just focus on that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I mentioned the movie Verity over the weekend. Dakota Johnson's
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in that movie. She hosted SNL.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, Justin.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: It's Lynn. Happy Monday.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Hope you had a great weekend.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Verity is all over my Instagram.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I don't even know why I'm going to see the
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: movie because I'm seeing so much clips. But I want
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to read the book again because I really don't remember
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: any of it. I read it probably like.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Two years ago, going with my girlfriends in a couple
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of weeks to see it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: So looking forward to it. And I do not like
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: scary movies, so I'm definitely going to be screaming.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: All right. Have a good day.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Bye. Yeah, I want to see it too, Lynn. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: read the book. I really, really liked it. I read
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: it earlier this year, so I remember it. There are
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: some spooky scenes in it, but it looks really good.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It cleaned up at the box office. I want to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: go see it too. I can't go see it this weekend.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Maybe the following weekend. My race is on Sunday in Boston.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I had my last training session yesterday at my gym.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: A really, really cool moment happened. And, you know, I
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: said to my friend, who also works out at the gym,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: good friend of mine, I said he wasn't there for
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this moment that I'm about to share. And You know what?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you the story with him after. So I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: don't know if I shared this in the podcast. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: probably did. But a couple of months ago, Billy had
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: mentioned to me that his wife Michelle's business partner had
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a son. And that son, Billy said, oh, you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: her son does what you do, that thing. And I'm like,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: what thing? He's like, you know, that fitness thing. And
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I said, High Rocks? He said, yeah, he does High Rocks.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, okay, sure. Right? Sure. Sure, he does High–
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: everyone does High Rocks. And I kind of just like, okay, Billy.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: And then fast forward like a few weeks, Billy said, oh,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: that kid is coming in to do my Food for
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Thought show because he has some kind of thing going
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: on that he was– his business or his company or something.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Billy wanted to talk to him about it. So he goes,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: you should stick around and meet him. And forgive me
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: if I told the story already. So he comes in.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: His name is Josh. And right as he was coming
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: into the building, I'm like, what is this kid's name?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And I looked him up. I had him before. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, my God. Like, he's an elite high
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: rocks athlete. Like, travels the world competing. And he's only 22.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So he comes in and I met him. And he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was just the nicest, nicest kid. 22 years old. Super successful.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Loves fitness. Loves endurance training. And loves high rocks. He's elite.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: So in the High Rocks world, I believe, because I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: new to this too, I think what makes you elite
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: is if you finish underground.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Hour.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: If you finish sub to 60 minutes, that makes you elite.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So he had just come back from Sweden where he competed,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and he's training and he's doing Boston. He's doing a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: couple of races in Boston. So I had a great
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: conversation with him. Got his number. We were texting. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: he actually lives, I think, in Milford, New Hampshire. So...
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go Saturday night to watch his race
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: because I'm doing what's called a men's double. He's also
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: doing a double on Saturday night. Mine's on Sunday. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with my partner, Mike, watch him
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the night before. Makes sense, right? Because I've never done
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it before. That's why I'm nervous. I don't really know
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: what to expect. I've done the training. I've done the movements,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but I've never done the movements there. So yesterday I'm
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: with my training partner. Our last heavy, heavy high rock session,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it was a high rocks class that we kind of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: make modifications to based around our training. We have the class.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: It's all timed, but we kind of add things in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and do our own simulation, I guess, of the race.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So it's about halfway through the class. We're training. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: mind you, the Tuscan car show is going on because
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: my gym is at Tuscan Village. So Joe Farrow is
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: having his car show. So there's all kinds of cars, Ferraris, Lamborghinis,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: all over the place, a million people. So about halfway
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: through class, I'm on the turf doing my thing and
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I look up. Now, mind you, this is mid-workout. I'm
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: pouring sweat. I look up and I see someone standing
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: there with their back to me and it says High
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Rocks Elite on the shirt. And I was like, Elite?
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Who is that? And then he turns around and I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: look at his face and I'm like, I know him.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: And he looks at me at the same time and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: he's like, I know him. And I'm like, dude. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: he's like, dude, what are you doing here? And I go, well,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I'm working out. And he goes, oh, yeah, I'm here
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: for the car show at Tuscan. And I saw the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: gym and, you know, I was going to go later.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I thought I hit it up. He's like, what kind
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of class are you doing? I said, I'm doing a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: high rocks class. I'm racing this Sunday. He goes, no way.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Can I join? So I brought the coach over and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I'm like, dude. This is an elite athlete. He wants
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to join. He's like, yeah, come on in. So the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: rest of the class I was able to work out
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: with this kid. And he's like elite, right? Like I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: a beginner, okay? But it was just super cool to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: watch him do the stations and watch him run. By
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the way, I know my pace isn't good at running, okay?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: His pace was like we would run around the building, okay?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: That's what we do. We do a station run around
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the gym. He would run around twice, okay? before we
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: ran around once. It was like crazy, crazy, crazy. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: it was just a really, really cool moment. We're going
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to go watch him on Saturday. And so I, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: text my friend that goes to the gym, my good friend,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: who's also racing. He wasn't there for the class. I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: texted him. I said, the coolest thing just happened. So
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: when he comes to my house for the game and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I tell him, and he looks at me with this
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: look and I go, you know, I know that I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: have a cool job. And I meet celebrities and singers
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and I get to do a lot of cool things.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And I love that. It's fantastic. I'll never take it
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: for granted. But when things like this happen that I'm
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: passionate about, it makes me so much happier. I think
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: about Jay Cutler. When Jay Cutler, the bodybuilder, came in
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: many years ago and Maddie had me pull my pants
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: down with him. That stuff makes me so happy. And
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: he just looks at me with this look and he's like,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: That makes you happier than meeting famous people? Like who
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: is this kid? He's not even anybody. And then he
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: asked for his Instagram and he doesn't have a big following.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: He goes, you know, he doesn't have that many followers.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you don't get it. I'm not saying
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that he's a celebrity. He's not a celebrity. He's just
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a regular kid. But he's someone that I look up
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: to as an elite high rocks athlete. I'm going to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: watch him Saturday. So it was just a cool thing.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that he just happened to show up, did not even
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: know that I was there, didn't even know the class
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: was going on. He saw the gym, was like, let
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: me get a workout in real quick. And there I am,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the radio guy. And then we got to work out together.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It was so cool. And then my friend was like, okay,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get what you mean. He thought
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that I was comparing him to a big celebrity. I wasn't.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So the race is on Sunday. My wife's going with
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: my son and his best friend, Liam, who is my
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: partner's son. So they're going to be there watching. Billy
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: might go. Look, I'm just trying to get through it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to go for a certain amount of time.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I just want to push myself to go through it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot of running.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: It's super high intensity, but I've been doing that and
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I've been training for this. So yeah, my confidence level
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: is not super high, although I think I'll be okay.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to fail. I have fears
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of cramping, things like that. But I think I'll be
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: all right. I have my High Rock shoes. I have
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: my watch I've been training with, my AmazeFit, which is
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: like the official partner with High Rocks. And I think
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: when I go Saturday night and watch Josh race and
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see the venue and see how it's set up and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: see how he does it with his partner, I think
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: that will be a big help. I do. I think
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that will be– it will make my– put my mind
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: at ease. High Rocks is one of those things where
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: when you're doing it, You hate it more than anything
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: because it sucks. It is so, so hard. I mean
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: your heart rate is so high. So when you're doing it,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you're like, this sucks. Why am I doing this? But
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: then when you're done, you think to yourself, I can't
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wait to do it again. I guess that's the best
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: way to explain it. It's super high intensity. I never
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: thought that I would ever be doing something like this.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I was always into bodybuilding and weightlifting, which is great.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: It took me all the way up until this point.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: But I just found getting older and changing my mindset
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: into more functional exercise, more VO2 max and improving my
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: cardio is better for longevity. Because several years ago, I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: started feeling joint pain, things like that, my shoulders, my knees.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: They hurt and they still hurt today. But I feel like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you know, not lifting as heavy but still getting a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: great workout in is something that I loved. And then, boom,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I found High Rocks. I found my gym, Drive Custom Fit,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: which I absolutely love. I do all the classes. It's
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: just a really great place. I'm super happy with where
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I'm at in my fitness journey. I really am. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: think I look the best that I've ever looked. And
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I credit that to a lot of these classes. I mean, obviously,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: my diet is locked in, right? If you're listening to this,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: and you want to lose weight or get fit diets,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: number one, and it may take you a long, long
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: time to really understand that. Cause it took me a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: long time. I thought I could out train a bad diet.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: It comes down to your nutrition, right? It comes down
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: to calories and how much protein you're eating. And once
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: you can lock that in, then you put that together
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: with the working out and the fitness. I'm telling you,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: your body can change. It can 100% change. So, Yeah,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it's coming up, man. Six days until the race. We'll
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: see what happens. This weekend I went to the Tops
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Field Fair. That was good. Very busy. A lot of people.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I ate a lot of food. I would suggest going
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: maybe on off hours. I don't know what those off
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: hours are. Maybe later on at night when it gets
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: dark or maybe first thing when it opens. We went
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: at noon on Saturday and it was packed. We had
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: a good time but my son doesn't really always do
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: well when there's a lot of people like that. He
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: tends to get lost and run away, not run away,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: but you know, he gets kind of overstimulated, I guess,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: if you will. But we had a good time. We
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: ate a lot of food. I had donuts. I had, um,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I had these loaded chip things. I had French fries.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I had a Franken French fries, which are really long ones.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Just so much food over and over again. And then
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Saturday night I went to spooky world at Canobie. Another
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: great time. Lines weren't that bad, actually, for opening weekend.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I think they have five houses now. I think they
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: have one new one. But it's pretty cool. So, yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I went with my wife and my son and my friend.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: We had a great time. We had a really, really
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: great time. So it was a busy weekend. And the
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Pats yesterday won. My dad came over. He almost killed
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: one of my friends. I don't think I shared that
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: on the show this morning. I was telling Billy and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Lisa off. Yeah, my dad. He's a crazy person, man.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So my whole life, my dad's been into spicy foods.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: My whole life, he loves spicy foods. Mind you, he's
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: from Peru, right? So he's from South America. So maybe
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that's where it comes from. I don't like spicy stuff,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: but I remember growing up, he would always make everything
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: so spicy. I don't like it. He loves it. And
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: he has this thing where he likes to find the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: hottest and grow the hottest peppers and then get people
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to try them, which is actually pretty cruel. Even though
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: he's not a cruel guy, he gets a kick out
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: of it. So he comes– he goes to his car,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: comes back in and he says to my friend, oh,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: I have a pepper. You see this pepper? It's the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: world's hottest in the entire world. So my friend who
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: likes spicy food says, what is it? My dad says
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: it's a raptor. He goes, a raptor? Even I said, dad,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a raptor? What the hell is a raptor? He goes,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's number one. It's the hottest
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: pepper in the world. My friend said, well, do you
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: eat it? He said, yeah. I take a little piece
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and I chop it up and I put it in
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my food. I love it. It's so great. It gives
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you a great kick. My friend goes, I'll try it.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: So he takes the pepper and he takes a minuscule
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: bite out of the pepper, the tiniest bite. Let me
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: tell you, the next 30 minutes were not fun for him.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It was instant. As soon as he took the bite,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: he jumped up, grabbed his ear and went into complete
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: panic mode. I started panicking. Cause I'm like, are you okay?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Are you going to, are you going to die in
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: my house? So at one point I'm like, let me
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: get you some milk. So I brought him in the
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: kitchen and he's just completely like out of it. And
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: he goes, I'm hallucinating. I go, what are you seeing?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know. This is, this is insane.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Cause I guess it's so hot. It just takes over
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: your entire brain. I don't get the ear thing. We
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: actually looked it up. I forget what it said, but
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it does something to your nerves and it can really
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: affect your ears. So, I text my wife cause she
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: was at a birthday party down the street. And I'm like,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to have to call
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: an ambulance on this, this dude. Like meanwhile, my father's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: there like laughing. He's like, dude, I told you it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the hottest pepper in the world, dude. He's like, I
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: told you I put in my food. I wouldn't just
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: taken a bite. What are you doing? So eventually he
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: started to calm down, but he was, he was messed
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: up for like a good hour. He was like, really
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: could not recover from it. That's how hot it was.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And then he looks at my father and he goes,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Was that a Raptor? My dad goes, yeah. You know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: they make it down in– it comes from the Carolinas.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And I go, a Carolina Reaper? And my friend goes,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: a Reaper? Because we know what Reapers are. We had
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: never heard of Raptor. My friend thought my dad was
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: like misinformed. He thought that he– he didn't think it
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: was the hottest pepper in the entire world. The Carolina
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Reaper was the hottest pepper. There's one that overtook it.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I looked it up. It's like number two or maybe
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: even number three. Still. like one of the hottest things
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: you'll ever eat. So he was okay. He didn't, you know,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: drop dead, but it was a scary moment. When you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: say you're hallucinating in my house, what am I going
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: to do? It's crazy, man. So yeah, eventful weekend, but
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: now we're back on a Monday leading up to this weekend,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: my race and Monday's a holiday. So we will not
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: be working. I wasn't working anyway, cause I'm doing that race.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I'm giving it everything I got. I am not coming
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: into work, but the show is off anyway. So it
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: worked out perfectly. Um, I'm just going to rest and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: recover and hopefully I make it through. I know I will. Anyway. Yeah.
