#143 - Matthew Burton - Running for a Charity

1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:12,880
And we're live.
Welcome to boys and.

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,120
Girls Twitchers.
Yeah, welcome.

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,160
Or as Chris likes to say, boys
and girls, you know.

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,760
I was thinking about changing to
friends instead of boys and

5
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,840
girls because you're all I like.
You.

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,320
Like you like boys and girls.
OK, what's?

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,040
Your tag no.
You're star.

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:29,240
We'll keep it up.
We'll keep it up.

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,200
His computer's spinning.
He's going to come on in a

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,000
second now.
OK.

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,280
We'll wait for Matthew Burton,
our guest for the day.

12
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:44,560
His computer's spinning.
Damn.

13
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,880
Technical difficulties.
We hate him.

14
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:00,110
Hey, so Mr. Chris and Michael,
I'm Chris.

15
00:01:00,110 --> 00:01:02,510
He's Michael.
Waiting for Matthew Burton to

16
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:05,990
come on her show today.
Patiently waiting.

17
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,280
Who's a good friend of mine?
He's a a fellow member of the

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,520
Mesa.
Or is it the Mesa Rotary Club or

19
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:12,960
the Rotary Club of Mesa?
One of those two.

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,760
But why?
Mark said it was the Mesa Rotary

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Club.
There you go.

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,120
So why we wait for him?
We're going to jump on.

23
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:24,840
I'm going to share his screen.
So he is he's he's a nice guy

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,760
who gives back.
This is one of the things that

25
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,680
he's doing.
It's the Saguaro Showdown ultra

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,960
race with Matthew Burton.
So this is Matthew Burton, which

27
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:35,680
I was surprised last week he
showed up a Rotary like this all

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,400
clean shaven and I and I
usually, usually he's got some

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,720
scruff going on so.
Looks like me.

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,640
Right is.
That what you're so.

31
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:47,880
Yeah.
So the furthest he's ever run

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,800
before is 50 kilometers, which
is 31 miles.

33
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,560
I've never even done that.
The most I've ever done was 20

34
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,280
one miles when I was helping
train Nikki while everybody,

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,680
Torsten, you know, Torsten,
Torsten and Nikki, we're going

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,040
to run the the PF Chains
Rock'n'roll Marathon in Arizona.

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,560
So I wasn't ready to do a full
yet.

38
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,680
So I was just helping them
train.

39
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,199
So the furthest I've ever gotten
was was 21 miles.

40
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,240
But he's doing this in January
and Nikki and I are going to

41
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,440
sign up for this and it's a cool
thing is to help raise money.

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,920
Part of the money that he's
going to raise is also going to

43
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:24,320
go to Foster 360, which if you
guys were along with us before

44
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,920
we had Mark Young on the show
from United Way.

45
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:29,960
That's his his thing that he
created.

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,880
It helps transition the kids
that age out of foster care.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720
And for those for those of you
that don't understand that when

48
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
you hit 18 years old in the
system in foster care system,

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,520
you're, you're gone.
There's no.

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160
You're an adult.
Yeah, there's there.

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,720
It's just like, I don't know if
it's like, you know, 12 O 1:00

52
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,920
AM that day.
You turn 18, you're gone.

53
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:50,960
Mike, See ya.
Or if it's like, you know,

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,600
you're out by 5:00, but there's
that gap in that too.

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,240
So Matthew is helping raise
money for, for that program as

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,600
well as his, his United sound.
I'm going to share the next part

57
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,280
of it so you guys can see it.
If you're in Arizona, by all

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,120
means you can, you can I, I
would assume you can participate

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,240
in this.
So let's see, there is Matthew's

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,440
coming on.
So there is the Scarface

61
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,960
Mountain Trail run.
That's the Facebook page and I,

62
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,760
I, I, I doubt you have to be
here in order to, to participate

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,240
'cause you could just donate
money.

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,440
That would be cool.
This is the inaugural trail run,

65
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,920
5K10K race and fun race at the
Usury Mountain Regional Park in

66
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,440
Mesa.
So this is just some of the some

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,280
of the the scenery, if you will,
of that which.

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,080
Is beautiful desert scenery for
sure.

69
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,520
And, and the storms that we've
had the last week like that,

70
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,640
see, that's fantastic.
That's awesome.

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,360
All the storms and all the rain
we've had from remnants of, of a

72
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,480
of hurricane or typhoon, one of
those things, it's all come.

73
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320
That's where the run is.
So I've I've done some stuff

74
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,880
there, but Matthew was actually
putting together an entire thing

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,920
for that.
Look, there's Matthew Burton

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,200
right on you.
It's all about.

77
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Technology.
Man, don't worry about it.

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Yeah, don't worry.
About it.

79
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640
No apologies necessary man.
We understand technical

80
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,279
difficulties better than
anybody.

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760
So I'm going to stop sharing
because Matthew's here now.

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,880
So, ladies and gentlemen, this
is Matthew Burton.

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,040
Thank you for coming on,
Matthew.

84
00:04:26,280 --> 00:04:30,080
Thank you for having me.
Yeah, so I I was, I was kind of

85
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:32,240
what's that?
What's all that noise?

86
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Matthew, stop all that.
OK, so there you go.

87
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,120
We were talking about your,
your, we were talking, we were

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,320
talking about your United Sound
run.

89
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,680
And then I pulled up the
Scarface Mountain.

90
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,160
So the Scarface Mountain ones
first.

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Yes, right.
And January 3rd, Saturday.

92
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,760
OK.
So tell tell us what you're

93
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,720
doing with that and what you're
raising money for etcetera.

94
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,360
So really, really great
opportunity with the Rotary Club

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:06,160
of Mesa and it's 100% paid for
by sponsors for mostly small

96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,400
businesses in Mesa.
So they've paid for all the

97
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,960
costs.
So all of the entry fees are

98
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,280
going to go 100% to charities.
There's two charities that we're

99
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:19,080
going to benefit. 1 is a
charitable foundation of the

100
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,720
Rodeo Club of Mesa, which
reaches out to local support in

101
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,200
Mesa and sometimes also some
international charities, but

102
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,840
mostly local.
And then so 50% will go to them

103
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,240
and 50% will go to the Foster
360, which is a Mesa charity and

104
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:43,160
it really reaches out and gives
resources and help and mentors

105
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,760
to foster kids who have aged out
of the system.

106
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Correct.
Yeah.

107
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,040
That's really cool.
Yeah.

108
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,000
And then the next one you're
doing is United.

109
00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:55,960
Is it United sound?
That's the one.

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,960
United Sound, yeah, that one,
that was going to hurt a lot

111
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,120
more for me.
So I, I I've been an avid runner

112
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,960
for a very long time.
I was a Division One track and

113
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,000
field runner where at University
of Arizona.

114
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,040
Awesome.
That's.

115
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,360
Fine middle distance, long
sprints.

116
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,440
So distance is a little bit
different.

117
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,600
So I've done a couple of 50K
ultra marathons out on some

118
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,920
trails.
A 50K is 31 miles.

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,880
Oh.
My God.

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:38,680
And, and now I'm going to try to
do this Backyard Ultra, which is

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,840
very interesting.
Backyard Ultra is, if you aren't

122
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:46,720
familiar with it, there's a 4.16
mile course and you have one

123
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:53,240
hour to run 1 loop and then it
starts on the hour every hour.

124
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,160
And so if I finish in 45
minutes, I have 15 minutes to

125
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,000
rest before the next loop
starts.

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,360
If I don't get back to the
starting line, I'm out.

127
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,960
And they'll allow one runner to
complete 24 hours if there's

128
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,800
only 1 runner.
But after 24 hours there needs

129
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920
to be at least two runners to
keep the race going.

130
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,400
So there's no set distance.
It could go on for days the

131
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,280
first year they did this race.
It's out at usury also.

132
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,160
It's called the Saguaro.
It's it's the Swaro showdown

133
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,080
backyard ultra.
It's January 24th of of next

134
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,760
year.
So it's shortly after the the

135
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:43,400
the Scarface trail run.
There's no set finish line.

136
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160
You just need to be the last
person standing.

137
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,400
So everyone except for one
person is a DNF.

138
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,080
Did not finish a loser.
There's only one winner. 1

139
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,320
finisher. 2 years ago the
finisher went in 48 hours which

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,680
equated to over 200 miles.
Last year I think they did 116

141
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,680
miles so it was 27 hours.
So we'll see.

142
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Yeah.
And and they, they got 10 to 15

143
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,160
minutes of rest every hour.
Not enough time to really sleep,

144
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,440
barely to like, eat, drink and.
And maybe change some shoes.

145
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,000
Yeah.
That's crazy, man.

146
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,120
I've heard about these things,
but I've never talked to

147
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,480
somebody who's experienced it,
so that's really cool.

148
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,720
And I haven't experienced it yet
either.

149
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,720
That's going to experience it.
So you explained it really well

150
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,840
too.
I I'm not a runner, so I

151
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,120
understand what you were saying
about, you know, you got to

152
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,039
keep, you have to have the
competition or obviously there

153
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,560
is no competition if you don't
have at least two people going.

154
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,880
Yeah, and and so forth.
Go ahead.

155
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,640
Well, no, I was just saying I'm
I'm a runner too, which we've

156
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,000
never really talked about that.
But Nikki and I probably done

157
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,560
100 1/2 marathons since 2015,
but nowhere like never did the

158
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,000
ultra.
I think we did 1 ultra.

159
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,320
It was, it was a stray mountain.
I did it.

160
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,840
It was like 17.
No, it wasn't an ultra.

161
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,080
I'm sorry.
Take the word out of my mouth.

162
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,400
It was a 17 right, A17K trail
run.

163
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
And so I love trail.
We've done the Ragnar stuff, not

164
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,880
the van, not driving the van
down, but just McDowell

165
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,960
Mountain.
We've done that three times, the

166
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,680
whole Ragnar thing.
And for those who don't know,

167
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,000
Ragnar Mountain is kind of like
you.

168
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,600
You run in camp, you know, you,
you have three different loops

169
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,640
and you have certain times you
got to hit them in between the

170
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,360
runs.
Everybody on your team runs

171
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,040
continuously, is running a loop.
But when you're not running,

172
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,320
then you're free to do what you
want.

173
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,480
You know, it drives me nut.
It does drive me nuts, but it's

174
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,040
insane to me the first time I
did it.

175
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,280
Like people party, they're
partying between their loops,

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,360
man.
It's like, how do you, how do

177
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,000
you, how do you drink beers and
then go running?

178
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,920
I don't get it.
And so that's.

179
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,080
They offer like shots of beers
of runners when they're coming

180
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,960
into Phoenix.
It's crazy.

181
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,480
That's like the the The
Rock'n'roll Marathon in Phoenix.

182
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,800
They, they have beer stations
lined up and the first time I

183
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,640
ran the half and that I didn't,
you know, Nikki told me because

184
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,280
I don't drink, right?
Everybody knows the show.

185
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,440
I've been sold for 20 years.
So coming around the last like 2

186
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240
miles, there's this table like
this white table and I just

187
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,240
assumed it was little water,
Gatorade.

188
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,800
And you know, they handed me
this little cup man.

189
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,720
And I, I grab it and, and like
freaking beer.

190
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,320
I'm like, what are you doing to
me?

191
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,760
I mean, I spit it out, you know,
so I didn't, I didn't swallow it

192
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,720
so it didn't count.
But still, it's like, what, are

193
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,120
you kidding me?
Then when we get back, she's

194
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,000
like, yeah, they just hand out.
I'm like, hey, you could have

195
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,160
told me that because, you know,
I told you, just take it from

196
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,080
the aid station.
I'm like, well, I don't know.

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,640
I've never done a full.
Hand looks like an aid station.

198
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:49,360
Yeah, right.
Totally, totally.

199
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,280
So while we were waiting for you
with your technical

200
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,880
difficulties, we kind of we kind
of pulled up the old United

201
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,800
sound thing, which last week at
Rotary you showed up like this

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,640
all clean shaven.
I'm like, who's this guy?

203
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,280
Because I've always seen you
with the scruff, man.

204
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,200
So so I'm I'm I'm assuming.
Every once in a while, I, I, I

205
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,120
shave it off, yeah.
Yeah, Yeah.

206
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,800
So you just mentioned Foster
360, So I'm going to share that

207
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,800
because we like to share things
for folks.

208
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:17,600
This is what Matthew talked
about.

209
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,480
This is Foster, Foster, Foster
360.

210
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,440
I was kind of explaining to Mike
before you jumped on it.

211
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,960
The whole purpose of this when
Mark Young set it up was those

212
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,320
kids that age out of foster
care, there's a gap between, you

213
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,720
know what to do now.
So he's just, Mark's a super

214
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,160
cool guy.
You know that he's he's a

215
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,120
superhuman.
But so this is their page.

216
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,160
This is what they do.
So by all means, if you want to

217
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,960
learn more about Foster 360, if
you want to donate to that

218
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,400
program, please do so.
And then you can correct me if

219
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,280
I'm wrong in this, like with
this stuff you're doing,

220
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,200
Matthew, can people just donate
if they're not in state and not

221
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,960
run, but still kind of kind of
give you donations for both the?

222
00:11:58,240 --> 00:11:59,520
I would.
Sound.

223
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,480
The, the, the Scarface Mountain
trail run, we don't have a link

224
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,840
set up for donations, but we
definitely encourage and send

225
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,840
people to the Foster 360 website
and and would love any donations

226
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120
to them.
OK, and and another, another

227
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,840
thing to kind of look at the
Foster 360, I just finished

228
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,680
reading a book about a foster
care system.

229
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:25,240
If anyone is a book reader out
there, it can be a difficult

230
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,560
one, but it's called wards of
the State and it follows kind of

231
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,400
the lives of a couple of people
who went to the foster system.

232
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,120
And it's it's rough.
There's some good stories of

233
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,800
resilience, but there's also
some pretty sad stories as well

234
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,640
on the Foster.
System, maybe you know the

235
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,240
answer to the question then one
thing that Chris set brought up

236
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,560
before you came on was does this
take effect?

237
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,880
Like we know that after 18
there's no more help for them,

238
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280
right?
So at 12 O one on their 18th

239
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,680
birthday, is there no more money
available for them?

240
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:59,560
Is that really how harsh it is?
I don't know the answer to that.

241
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:03,520
I just had a, a group discussion
with about this book and there

242
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,280
are three people who lived
through the foster care system

243
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,480
and one of them shared the
experience of 1 foster house

244
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:16,240
where midnight or maybe the next
morning after turning 18 are

245
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,440
this if they've graduated high
school or not, they are out of

246
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,560
the house because they no longer
receive payment.

247
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,880
There's amazing foster care
workers out there, sure, but

248
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,080
there are some out there who may
take advantage of the situation.

249
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,440
And of course, and it's, it's
it's tough.

250
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,400
So yeah, I, I don't, I don't
know the exact answer to your

251
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,960
question, but that's some
stories I've heard.

252
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:46,960
Yeah, so I, I grabbed, I grabbed
the there it is Scarface

253
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,800
Mountain.
I was trying, excuse me, I was

254
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,040
trying to find the other one,
but this is this is the this is

255
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,600
the trail run the Scarface
Mountain Trail Run 10K5K Fun run

256
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,800
January 3rd Usury Mountain
Regional Park.

257
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
Could I, could I talk a little

258
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,240
bit more about the race?
Absolutely.

259
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,880
Yeah, absolutely.
Talk about what you want here.

260
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,560
This is all about you sharing
your stuff with us.

261
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:11,720
You want to talk about the
Mountain, The Scarface 1.

262
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Yeah, Scarface Mountain.
There's just some cool things

263
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,440
about Scarface Mountain.
Yeah, go ahead, man.

264
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,400
I've been running out on those
trails at Usury Mountain for

265
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,240
many years now.
Love it.

266
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Me and my wife we're in 20.
Three countries, so tell people

267
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,560
kind of where this is in.
Relation to yeah.

268
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Yeah, So in the.
Yeah, in the American Southwest,

269
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,000
in the Sonoran Desert region,
where Saguaros are, a lot of

270
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,480
this in this area, I don't think
that's anything in particular,

271
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,360
but you see this kind of scenery
out of the trails.

272
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,680
It's in northeast Mesa of
Arizona.

273
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,240
It's going to be beautiful in
the winter.

274
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,360
That's the time to visit.
So all those people out of

275
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,720
country or out of state come to
Arizona in January and come run

276
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,360
this race.
The Scarface Mountain Trail Run

277
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,160
is inside Usury Mountain.
Usury Regional Park.

278
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,120
I'm sorry.
Usury Mountain Regional Park.

279
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:08,160
Usury Mountain is named after a
interesting character from the

280
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,440
region.
The Usury Park is actually his

281
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:18,520
old grounds where he kept his
cattle, his his ranch and now

282
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,840
it's turned into a county park.
But he had some difficult times

283
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,280
and him and a partner, Henry
Blevins, I believe is is his

284
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,880
name.
And there's a trail inside the

285
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,040
park called Blevins Trail.
So there's the two name six.

286
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,080
They came into some hard times
around 1896.

287
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,560
And this is a little bit after
the wider times and the, the,

288
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,280
the Cowboys of that time still
in stagecoaches.

289
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,120
And and so the news was probably
there and Usury and Blevins had

290
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,200
the idea we're going to rob a
Stagecoach.

291
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:56,520
They stole two bars of silver
from a stage and the the sheriff

292
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,360
went and investigated and a
neighbor saw Usury bearing

293
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,120
something in his land, which is
Usury part, and directed the

294
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,680
sheriff to it and found the two
stolen bars of silver.

295
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240
Usury was arrested and and
imprisoned for that.

296
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:20,000
So this race that happened on
January 6th, we can't really

297
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,400
have the race on a January
weekday.

298
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,760
Usually we're going to do on the
first day.

299
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,040
That's not the first or second
of January.

300
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,280
We're going to try to do it
annually.

301
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
So it's almost on this
anniversary of this event.

302
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,680
There will be some silver bars.
If people find a silver bar, not

303
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,400
real silver.
Sorry, everyone.

304
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,480
And return it at the finish.
They'll win a win a prize.

305
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,000
So that's kind of fun stuff,
yeah.

306
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,520
It's very cool.
So I'm sharing images of of

307
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,080
usury of of the Usury Park just
because, you know, some people I

308
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,560
see I work for, I I've been in
Arizona since I was three, man,

309
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,600
so I could give a crap about
cactus.

310
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,600
Like, I don't have cactus in my
front yard, you know?

311
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Like, yeah, but for the people.
I know have never been.

312
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,800
I know, you know, I lived there
for 20 years myself, so I kind

313
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,079
of got jaded towards it.
You know, you see it every day.

314
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,960
You don't appreciate the beauty.
But so now I've been gone for 15

315
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,480
years and just looking at those
pictures while you were telling

316
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,079
that story, Matthew it without
all the houses and seeing the

317
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:22,680
Urban Development as you told
that story, he just set the

318
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240
backdrop, right?
That's the American Southwest.

319
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,079
For sure.
It's yes, it is beautiful.

320
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:31,080
Yeah, it's, it's the story of
Wyatt Earp and the Cowboys and

321
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:31,880
and all that.
Yep.

322
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,400
Absolutely.
And to somebody that lives

323
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,840
especially in like Europe or
Asia or you know, that

324
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:45,000
Australia, you don't see that
kind of that's unique to Arizona

325
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,360
and the United States, right,
that Sonoran Desert.

326
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,160
Yeah, Saguaros are nowhere else
in the world.

327
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,120
It's just in the Sonoran Desert.
Yeah.

328
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,400
Chris or somebody behind you,
It's it's trip, man.

329
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,840
It's a little trip.
Oh, I don't think grants.

330
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,240
That's right.
Grants No, he likes to come when

331
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,680
he's mad.
He's mad because I didn't answer

332
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,440
the door.
Pop Pop's in trouble.

333
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:23,260
You guys keep talking.
How did I lose your audio,

334
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:27,820
Matthew?
If you, is that better?

335
00:18:27,820 --> 00:18:29,380
Can you hear me now?
I can now.

336
00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:30,780
There you go.
I'm sorry about.

337
00:18:31,260 --> 00:18:32,060
No, you're fine.
Yeah.

338
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,960
Tell you a little bit more about
Scarface.

339
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:41,120
So the mountain pass mountain
has a cut in in its face and it

340
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:47,080
goes across the entire western
face of the mountain.

341
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:52,040
And so in the area, the locals
have have given the nickname of

342
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,680
Scarface Mountain.
And that's another kind of

343
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,920
unique feature about the race
that's really.

344
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,560
Cool.
I'm trying to think in all the

345
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,360
years I lived there if I ever
went there.

346
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,080
I'm embarrassed to say I don't
remember so I'm not sure if I

347
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,120
ever made it there.
Did you recognize the the

348
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:13,720
Phoenix era in Whitestones?
That's that's past mountain.

349
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,360
No, that's Usury Mountain, where
Phoenix has written on it.

350
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,560
And then inside the park.
Yeah, inside the and they have a

351
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,840
shooting range right by that
Phoenix sign right across the

352
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,320
street.
Is is usually mountain parked,

353
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,440
but that's pass mountain.
Now I know exactly where you're

354
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,520
talking about.
I want an Oreo too, damn it.

355
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:34,600
Yeah.
I know bring those out this.

356
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Is this is my stash?
He comes over.

357
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,520
He went cookie.
Hi buddy, tell him to wave.

358
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:42,840
Hi, buddy.
Wave.

359
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:46,040
He's never seen a podcast before
Wave.

360
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,800
He's seen somebody wave.
Hi, he's.

361
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,880
Fast.
Heated cookie.

362
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,360
Mike, where are you from?
Where do you live now?

363
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:01,720
I live in central Illinois, so
if you know where Peoria is, I'm

364
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,800
about an hour east of there.
I've been to Decatur twice.

365
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,280
Is that anywhere near Peoria?
Yeah.

366
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:14,600
So Decatur would be southeast of
me, I believe about an hour and

367
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,280
45 minutes.
So close.

368
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,720
Yeah, yeah.
Same kind of area.

369
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,840
Yeah, very green lot of soybeans
and corn.

370
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,560
I don't know I'm.
Sorry, I always make the no, I

371
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,120
always make the joke on the
podcast.

372
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:27,440
I live in the middle of a
cornfield.

373
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,600
Literally there's like 12,000.
People here.

374
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,880
Yeah.
And I'm, I'm from Illinois, so

375
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,520
my family's from Pleasant
Plains.

376
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,640
My grandparents had a working
dairy farm in Pleasant Plains.

377
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,080
My uncle and aunt and all of
them live in the Quad Cities.

378
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,600
He had like 4000 acres of and
just like you said, soybean and

379
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,640
corn, none of it was grown to
stay in Illinois.

380
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,480
It was all grown to be shipped
to other countries for feed and

381
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,320
and whatnot, you know?
And you know, the crazy thing

382
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,520
is, is, you know, you used to
hear about, and I don't want to

383
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,840
say that every farmer is rich
now, but you used to hear about

384
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,600
the poor farmer.
We got to have farm aid and all

385
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,080
that stuff was true.
And what became valuable was the

386
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,800
land where things changed is it
is incredible what farmland is

387
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,360
worth now.
Oh, if you're talking like, I

388
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,760
don't know, 10s of thousands of
dollars an acre.

389
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,680
Acre, right, just selling off
sections, right?

390
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,280
Yeah, yeah, the whole John
Mellencamp song Rain on the

391
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,640
Scarecrow that that's some great
example sums it all up, man.

392
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,480
So that was trip.
Sorry for the interruption.

393
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,680
That's that's a young, that's
OK.

394
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,280
You're fine.
That's what life's.

395
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,280
About that's that's priority
right there.

396
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,360
Oh, yeah, And that's the body.
That was the little body.

397
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:42,200
I saw it.
The reason why that happens is

398
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,640
one time there was a there was,
there was a big human that came

399
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,200
through the window.
And I told Mike, I'm like, what,

400
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,320
dude, you can let me get killed,
so.

401
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,720
Yeah, that goes back to like
episode 12 or something.

402
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,320
So now he watches the
background.

403
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,840
He's like there's, there's so
many behind you.

404
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,760
And I could see him turn the
corner and trips like yelling at

405
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,040
his mom, like, what are you
doing?

406
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,520
So I had to go.
I don't, I know I don't like him

407
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,400
being sad.
It's not cool.

408
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,080
It's all good, brother.
It's all good, yeah.

409
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,840
So again, we're here with
Matthew Burton.

410
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,400
Matthew Burton?
He's Tim Burton's nephew, if you

411
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,760
didn't.
Yeah, you know, just kidding.

412
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,680
No, unfortunately not.
Yeah.

413
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:19,800
You should have let it go.
I was going to be like.

414
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:25,440
You know, right?
No relation to the no relation

415
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,120
to the Burton Snowboards either.
Yeah.

416
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:28,960
No, I know.
See, I get that.

417
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,400
Oh, Jeff Dunham.
Yeah.

418
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,560
Nothing.
Nothing.

419
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,280
But it helps me explain to
people how to spell my last

420
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,320
name.
They'll be like, what's your

421
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:36,880
name?
Christina.

422
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,720
What is it?
The jalapeno on a stick.

423
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:44,680
Oh, really?
Really.

424
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,440
That's hilarious.
So how many you now?

425
00:22:49,120 --> 00:22:51,680
We've, we've been at Rotary for
a while, but we've never had

426
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,200
like one-on-one, you know, sit
down, have lunch type thing.

427
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,320
So tell us more about your
personal side of life.

428
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,080
Like how long were you in
prison?

429
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:00,840
How did you get away with it?
The triple homicide, you know,

430
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,400
and that's when you started
running because you're running

431
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,720
from the cops.
Yeah, that's.

432
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,440
An active streak is a serial
killer currently.

433
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,440
Right, right.
We're up to 22.

434
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,720
No, I love it.
I and it I have.

435
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,400
And it's all 'cause.
So, so I, I might start telling

436
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,280
you my, my life story and you
may or may not believe it.

437
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,360
You might think it's more along
the lines of, of, of what Chris

438
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:28,360
is saying.
Bring it on.

439
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:29,520
Bring it on.
Let's see.

440
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,840
Yeah.
I, I ran.

441
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,640
I ran, I was a runner growing
up.

442
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,520
I had a scholarship to
University of Arizona.

443
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:42,080
I was on the alternate the US
Junior World championship team.

444
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,160
Unfortunately, I was #3 only two
went.

445
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:50,880
So I, I lost out on and that was
kind of my, my dream on up.

446
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,880
I injured my freshman year of
college.

447
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,960
I'm probably doing something
stupid as, as you know, 18 year

448
00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,360
olds probably do.
So I went into the field that I

449
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,600
grew up in, and that was
restaurant business.

450
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:09,400
I got a degree in culinary arts
with French, French cuisine in

451
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,800
the focus of French cooking.
Yeah.

452
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:18,200
Became became an executive chef
at a restaurant.

453
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,000
The first year I was there, I
was the second sous chef.

454
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,840
It was a grand opening of a
restaurant.

455
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,400
The executive chef burnout ran
away.

456
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,000
The first sous chef, same thing.
And I was the last man standing.

457
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,720
And I became the executive chef
and general manager of that

458
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,280
restaurant for about two years
at that time.

459
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,600
In Arizona.
In Arizona up at Lake Powell

460
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,280
though, so I.
Just I just so people understand

461
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,600
this is all happening in
Arizona.

462
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,000
In Arizona, yeah.
I've lived all the way up and

463
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,920
down Arizona.
My wife was finishing school

464
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,600
when I was acting general
manager and executive chef, and

465
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,400
she got her associate's degree.
She needed to come down to the

466
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:07,880
Phoenix area to finish her
bachelor's degree at ASU, and

467
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,120
that was in 2008, 2009.
Notice how this is ASU at ASU.

468
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,160
Yes, because for those that
don't know, U of A and ASU are

469
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,600
rivalries in their states.
Like like, yeah.

470
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,880
And I was induction it, I was a
student athlete at U of A, so it

471
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,240
was marine and gold was really
difficult to to see.

472
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,560
And a real quick, and I mean
real quick, a Division One

473
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,400
athlete, ladies and gentlemen,
if you don't follow sports is a

474
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,920
big deal.
It really is.

475
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,680
Yeah.

00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,400
College.
You're not at a little college

477
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,680
division.
One's a big deal.

478
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,080
That's the pros of college
athletes, so congratulations.

479
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,040
And thank you very much.
I was just a stupid and injured

480
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,640
myself.
I got out anyways my my wife was

481
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,840
finishing school and that was in
2008, 2009.

482
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,600
So during that time the housing
market crashed.

483
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,480
I had a job lined up right by
campus as a sous chef and I was

484
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,680
really looking forward to it on
or move down.

485
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,200
It closed down boarded up.
I was go.

486
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,760
I ended up getting a a job with
my great experience with a

487
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,760
culinary degree, French cooking,
executive chef, experienced

488
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,520
background as an assistant
manager at Denny's working the

489
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,200
night shift Friday and Saturday
nights with the bars closed and

490
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:23,920
that was what I was doing for a
while.

491
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,560
So you go.
From hold on, you go from a sous

492
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,200
chef, like making all the
sauciers and things like when I,

493
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,760
when I hear sous chef, I think
of I don't know, it's going to

494
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,400
date me.
But Apocalypse Now when they're

495
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,560
going down, when they're going
down the river and that one dude

496
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,240
gets out of the gets out of the
the boat because he's he wants

497
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,240
to get some mangoes because he's
a sous chef in New Orleans.

498
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,440
And and then the giant tigers.
He's like tigers, tigers.

499
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,040
So when people tell me they're
sous chefs.

500
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:53,280
I love that's where he goes to.
Describe, but it is.

501
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,640
I want to try all the foods.
I'm going to go get those

502
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,520
mangoes, yeah.
See, so that's where my head

503
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,400
goes.
So you go, you're this this,

504
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,840
this anointed one, right?
Executive like #2 sous chef.

505
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:09,000
The world chaos collapses, the
housing mark collapses, which I

506
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,680
was part of that too.
I'm sorry, not my fault.

507
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,480
Well, he went from being a sous
chef to the executive chef.

508
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,480
He got a huge promotion and the
general manager of the

509
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,640
restaurant.
Right.

510
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,240
And now he's working Denny's
overnight for the.

511
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,960
Alcoholics.
That would be the equivalent of

512
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,240
playing Wembley Arena and then
you're playing the bowling alley

513
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,640
on Monday night.
No, not even a Mason jar.

514
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,880
You'd be playing like a corner
of the bowling alley.

515
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,280
Yeah, and, and, and, and that's
just the start.

516
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:45,400
So my wife says I'll have a very
interesting eulogy or, or a

517
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:50,360
story when when I pass away,
hopefully a long time from now.

518
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,080
Yeah.
So to kind of backtrack a little

519
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,560
bit, 911 happened my senior year
of high school.

520
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:04,240
My parents had to talk me out of
joining the Marines, the 1718

521
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,000
year old self of me, because I
had a scholarship to run track

522
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,240
and field that like, of course
that's the right thing to do,

523
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,880
right?
I mean, but I had examples like

524
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,200
Pat Tillman, especially in
Arizona, like, so I had to get

525
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,320
talked out of that.
And so here I am an executive

526
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,360
chef working 2:00 in the morning
at Denny's, 3:00 in the morning.

527
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,520
And I'm reading a article about
a medic who gave aid to Iraqi

528
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,920
civilians who got injured in
crossfire.

529
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:34,200
And it all just kind of rushed
back to me.

530
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,000
So this is 2009, 2010, right?
And I, I just can't do it.

531
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,520
We, me and my wife just had our
first son.

532
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,680
He was about a year old when the
housing market crash happened.

533
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,320
I was working nights, weekends,
holidays, My wife's going to

534
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,960
school.
And I, I just can't work in the

535
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,400
restaurant industry anymore.
My, I grew up in it.

536
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,240
My parents owned a restaurant
and that was their life.

537
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,640
They lived in the restaurant and
so I enlisted in the Army.

538
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,800
Their restaurant was in Arizona.
Prescott yeah, they owned a

539
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,480
restaurant.
Prescott.

540
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,720
They owned a restaurant in
Gilbert for a little while, but

541
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,440
sold it and they sold the
restaurant and Prescott.

542
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,240
Now also they're they're fully
retired.

543
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,480
Real.
Quick, tell people what an

544
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,880
average week hour wise for
someone at that level at a

545
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,120
restaurant is.
I don't think they understand

546
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,440
why people burn out.
Yeah, peak season when I was

547
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,240
executive chef and manager.
I work over 100 hours a week.

548
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,160
There you go, seven days a week.
There you go.

549
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,200
Now, now here's here's another
little thing to help people

550
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,560
understand.
Have you ever have you seen the

551
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,080
this the the Hulu series The
Bear?

552
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,920
I have not.
Have you seen?

553
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,960
It.
That's a good series.

554
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,240
It gives me anxiety.
Yeah.

555
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,360
No, I've seen it.
Yeah, it's good.

556
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,120
OK, so but, but, but I've heard
that's as close as you can get

557
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,800
from a, from a, from a
television standpoint of what

558
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,320
your life was like as an
executive, you know, whatever

559
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,880
all the things, right?
Is that an accurate statement?

560
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,720
Out of dreams of, you know, how
they get those paper orders and

561
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,680
the printer would be going off.
I would have dreams of that

562
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,120
printer just not stopping.
Yeah.

563
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,720
So there you go, Mike, Go watch.
Go Google the Bear and watch it.

564
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,240
It's it's with.
It's with the dude from

565
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Shameless.
I forgot his name is Chip.

566
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,480
It's Lip.
OK, The family in Chicago, the

567
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Gallagher.
We talk about the Gallagher's

568
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,120
all the time, Matthew, because
they're real people.

569
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,280
It was a reality TV show.
Yeah.

570
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,640
So now back to your story.
So you're at Denny's, All

571
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,360
American Diner.
You're like, holy smokes.

572
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,120
You get this awakening moment
with with somebody giving aid.

573
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,680
And you enlist in the Army in
2009 with a wife and a one year

574
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,040
old.
Yeah, wife and a one year old.

575
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,360
Oh my God.
Cool.

576
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,280
So take it from there, man.
So yeah.

577
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,840
And can I come back to, I just
want to talk about the bear

578
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,360
again.
That's based in Chicago, so

579
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,840
Illinois 2.
Anyways, I'm, I'm distracted.

580
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,280
So yeah, I, I, it's fine.
I enlisted in the Army Squirrel.

581
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200
Yeah, I enlisted the Army as a
medic.

582
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,400
So I, I worked at Denny's for
about a year.

583
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,440
So now my son is 2 and his
birthday is July 5th.

584
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,240
I unless I think it's July 14th,
so right after his 2nd birthday,

585
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,520
I go to basic training in Fort
Leonard Wood, MO and I do my

586
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,480
medic training in San Antonio,
TX.

587
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,560
Then I get stationed in Fort
Lewis, WA and that's why I'm

588
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,080
back in Arizona because I spent
four years in the Pacific

589
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,840
Northwest needed to come back to
the sunshine.

590
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:31,320
I deployed to Afghanistan in
2012, 2013, and that was we had

591
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:36,720
my daughter when my son was 3.
So a year after I enlisted, we

592
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,240
had our daughter.
And then I deployed Afghanistan

593
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:47,840
in 12/13 kind of over a
Christmas release time during

594
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:48,840
training.
Yeah.

595
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,280
Is that too much?
So no, it's not, it's not at

596
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,720
all, dude.
There's nothing we there's

597
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,280
nothing I'm not allowed to talk
about here.

598
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,200
So I you didn't, you didn't, we
can say.

599
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,240
Whatever.
We want Yeah.

600
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,680
You didn't reference the age.
I want to know how old you were

601
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,760
when you enlisted, because you
didn't go right out of high

602
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,880
school like you wanted to.
So how old are you in 2009?

603
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,920
I 2010 was when I enlisted.
I enlisted I think in March but

604
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,520
it's delayed entry.
I didn't go to the basic

605
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:18,280
training until July, so I was
26.

606
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,440
So I was old.
I was old that basic training.

607
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Wow, yeah.
Sure, I was pretty old and

608
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,400
mature.
But how was how was that going

609
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,040
through basic training as a 26
year old?

610
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:35,480
I think I had a lot more.
I I went through unnoticed a lot

611
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,000
of times.
I became, I became platoon

612
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,960
leader like the last two or
three weeks again because I

613
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,640
think I was older.
And and mature enough to deal

614
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,720
with that.
Yeah, but then the drill

615
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,160
sergeants, like, thought they'd
never even see me until I became

616
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,920
the platoon leader.
And who?

617
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,800
Who are you?
You've been here the whole time,

618
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,680
so I played it smart.
That's all, Yeah.

619
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,160
Cool.
And then, yeah, go ahead.

620
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Deployed to Afghanistan, 2012.
Thirteen.

621
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,600
I did receive Wiles.
Deployed a combat medic badge.

622
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:16,480
Combat medic badges are only
given to medics who have who

623
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,920
gave aid while under fire.
So we did see some stuff there.

624
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,160
I'm, I'm glad to to have come
home.

625
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,560
I know, Chris, you have military
in your family, right?

626
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,840
I do.
So, yeah.

627
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,720
And and so I came home.
I got out of active duty.

628
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:42,000
And the next step for a combat
medic was to continue on to the

629
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:47,400
medicine field.
But for those who may be

630
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,360
considering enlisting as a
medic, when you get out, you are

631
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,280
an EMT basic, so you could drive
ambulances, give oxygen and help

632
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,680
people take their own medicine.
And that's pretty much it,

633
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,400
really.
So yeah, there's really you're,

634
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:09,560
you're even though like I was,
I, I, I gave like I, I was able

635
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,320
to do lots of almost surgical
assists.

636
00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:15,880
That's what I'm going to say.
So you're you're a combat, you

637
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,760
get a medal for a combat, a
combat medic.

638
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,199
So you're you're dressing
wounds, you're applying pressure

639
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,159
on a bullet wounds, your
tourniquet stuff, your blood

640
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,760
pressure, all the kind of stuff
that you mash.

641
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,239
You're a mash guy, right?
So for those you don't like,

642
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,960
Google Mash, Google mash the
series and they basically.

643
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,560
Credit Matthews.
Hawkeye thing of.

644
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,000
Of that wow.
Like it never happened as a

645
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,040
civilian in the the civilian
world, you could practice the

646
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,280
EMT basic, you have to go and
get certified and all these

647
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,639
other things on the civilian
side to be able to be a

648
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:51,960
paramedic or otherwise.
So I, I went, yeah, I went to

649
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,080
school.
I got my bachelor's degree in

650
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,520
three years out of I got after I
got active duty and psychology

651
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:02,680
and Biological Sciences, went to
a physician assistant program

652
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,520
here in Mesa AT Still University
and I was a physician assistant

653
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,800
and practice as a physician
assistant and kind of the same

654
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,080
thing happened to me as the
restaurant business.

655
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:18,440
I had less hours, but the hours
I was working as a physician

656
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:24,640
assistant like there, there was
no, if my kids called I I

657
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,880
couldn't get to them.
I couldn't be there for them if

658
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,160
they called me.
And then I started taking a lot

659
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:35,240
of that stuff home with me.
Then dealing with insurances

660
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,400
administration, increasing
patient loads, less time with

661
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,600
patients and like all that
stuff.

662
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:46,840
I, I, I just wasn't doing well.
And then I became a financial

663
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,240
advisor and that's what I'm
doing now.

664
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:50,600
And I actually really love it
and it's been really, really

665
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,960
fulfilling.
It gives me the opportunity to

666
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,400
do things like these runs that
I'm planning and, and stuff.

667
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,800
So and.
And and and to come on the Chris

668
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,320
and Mike show, which is brought
Yeah 20.

669
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:01,880
Three countries around the
world.

670
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,040
There you go.
First off, I would be remiss if

671
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,480
I didn't say thank you for your
service and especially thank you

672
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,440
for being a medic.
That's amazing.

673
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,000
I'm sure you saw things.
Nope, nobody should see.

674
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,720
But those guys were thankful you
were there.

675
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:18,240
So that's awesome unto itself.
And I think the second message

676
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,920
that people should hear,
especially those in that

677
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,320
business, is the restaurant
business needs to figure out a

678
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,680
different way if there is one
because I hear that story over

679
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:29,720
and over again.
Yeah.

680
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,520
Yeah.
And.

681
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,320
Obviously the.
Medical system is imploding

682
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,880
because I've that story I've
heard on podcasts, I've seen

683
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,760
documentaries.
My mom worked in a hospital for

684
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,880
almost 40 years.
I'm intimately familiar with the

685
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,600
way that our medical system is
imploding, and nobody seems to

686
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,920
really be able to do anything
about it because, like you just

687
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,040
said, insurance companies and
the government have a

688
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:59,040
stranglehold on that business.
Yeah, the other thing, the other

689
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,440
team too, if you want to relate
back to people to understand

690
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,240
what what Matthew's like was
like in the medical side of it.

691
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:09,080
I have a a surgeon I, an ER
doctor I sold the house to and

692
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,280
he said the series The Pit with
Noah Wiley nails it.

693
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,680
That's like, if you want, if you
want to know what it's truly

694
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,240
like to be a medical
professional in an emergency

695
00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:22,440
room setting, watch the pet.
Like he nailed it there.

696
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,000
It's yeah.
I haven't seen that.

697
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,880
But if it strips away the
romanticizing of like all these

698
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,800
other medical shows and
everything, like shows the

699
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,800
reality of it, I'm all for
watching those things.

700
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Don't, don't be deceived of what
it really is.

701
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,480
Yeah.
Yeah, no, Andrew, Andrew, this

702
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,640
the friend of mine, Doctor, he's
like, that's that you.

703
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,760
We were playing poker, went out
of this house poker night and,

704
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,040
and it got brought up because it
was the real estate guy and then

705
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,600
three doctors.
I'm like, oh, I fell on apps

706
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,160
here like big time.
And so I asked, I'm like, you

707
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,040
ever seen this show The Pit?
And they're all like, that's the

708
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,760
best show.
It's the most accurate show

709
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,600
you're ever going to watch when
it comes to what it's really

710
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,080
like from the doctor and the
medical staff's point of view.

711
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:07,400
And he and I think Wiley won.
I think Wiley won a, was it an

712
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:08,920
Emmy or something?
I don't forget what TV is

713
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,280
saying.
Is it?

714
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,440
Yeah, tell him for that.
Yeah, so he won a number.

715
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,560
It's set in Pittsburgh, thus the
Pit, and if the really cool

716
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,400
thing, I won't give up the whole
series synopsis of it, but the

717
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,600
the what haunts them in the it's
it's it's kind of like remember

718
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,240
the show 24 with Kiefer
Sutherland?

719
00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:26,520
Oh yeah.
Same concept.

720
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,200
So every episode is an hour.
So you have a full day, 24

721
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:31,920
episodes.
That's the, that's, that's the,

722
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,320
that's the.
It's real time.

723
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,760
That's good.
Yeah, real, real time.

724
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:40,320
And then it, it kind of has
these, these flashbacks to COVID

725
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,360
because that was the PTSD that
the doctors, nobody ever talked

726
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,760
about doctors and nurses dealing
with PTSD, right?

727
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,080
It's all you got to focus on the
patient, patient, patient.

728
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:54,080
You're just supposed to be these
non caring, you know, stoic, you

729
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,240
know, like.
Inert, not emotional, Yes.

730
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,880
That's.
No emotions.

731
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,880
Yeah, yeah.
No empathy, nothing.

732
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,920
You're just, you're just there
to stitch and move on.

733
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,680
Stitch and move on.
It's so it kind of goes back and

734
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,280
forth with that PTSD struggle of
the COVID years year.

735
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,480
Yeah, it was years.
So it's it's a really cool show.

736
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,400
If you haven't watched them.
Like it's, it's you know, from,

737
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,640
from a, from three different
doctors sitting at a poker table

738
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,200
saying, yeah, that's the best
you're ever going to get when it

739
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,320
comes to what really that's
like.

740
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,200
There you go.
And that same with the bear that

741
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,000
the, the, the restaurant side of
life.

742
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,840
So Matthews lived both of those.
That's insane.

743
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,400
That is crazy.
That's a hell of a life resume,

744
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,440
man.
All you need to do is do Chris's

745
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,480
job and then you'll have the
trifecta of.

746
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,040
High stress.
Environment.

747
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,040
Right there you go.
I do have one of the highest

748
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,880
stress I had.
I saw this two-story Matthew.

749
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,720
I sold.
I sold two houses.

750
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:51,800
There was a family they were
moving and and the the one of

751
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,320
them I've known since 76.
So he and his wife are moving

752
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,600
and then having the the wife's
parents move with them to a

753
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,480
community in in the East Valley.
And his in laws were so

754
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,680
emotionally attached to this
house when we got done.

755
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,920
Tony says to me, I I don't know
how you do your job.

756
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,840
I negotiate hostage situations
for a living.

757
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,360
And I wouldn't take your job to
save for anything just for how I

758
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,680
had to deal with his
father-in-law with he and he's

759
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,200
super nice human like he just he
raised all his children in this

760
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,680
house.
He was just emotionally vested

761
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,160
and it was a struggle for him to
go.

762
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,200
But getting that back from
somebody who actually lived and

763
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,520
breathed hostage of situations
and and he's the guy now that

764
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,440
that he's retired, but he he he
does.

765
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,720
I'm not going to explain it
right.

766
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,800
Missing missing, missing case,
missing case and missing

767
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,240
persons, whatever when you just
have a bile a pile of bones.

768
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,200
His thing now is trying to put a
name to those bones.

769
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,160
So that's kind of like his
life's work once he's left.

770
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,000
The homicide there was at
Maricopa County.

771
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:54,320
Fascinating human.
But yeah, so I can't even

772
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,560
imagine.
You've had three high stress

773
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,320
level jobs in your lifetime and
how old are you?

774
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,080
I'm 41 right now.
Yeah.

775
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,000
Wow.
That's crazy and.

776
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,960
Wow, that's yeah, that's that's
good.

777
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,760
That's crazy.
So let's go, let's go back to

778
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,080
your other stuff, the Scarface
Mountain.

779
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,480
What is the that's 360.
What is the what is the tell the

780
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,080
people what the and I'll throw
the thing up.

781
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,840
It's it's because I got to sign
up for it anyway, because I

782
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,320
keep, I keep telling me we got
to do that.

783
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,560
So it's it's a 5K King K family
fun run.

784
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,920
And what are the cost for that?
I know it's changing, it's

785
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,720
evolving.
So yeah, the 20, the, I'm sorry,

786
00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:31,800
the the fun run is a one mile
front run.

787
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,600
It's the half mile out half mile
back it's $20.

788
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:42,000
The 5K right now, oh shoot, I
believe it's $40.

789
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,160
I'm so sorry if I have that
wrong, $40.00 for the 5K and the

790
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,520
10 K $50.
December 1st prices will be

791
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,080
increased by $5.
Lots of great things that come

792
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,840
with that.
The the top finisher of the 5K

793
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,120
and the 10 KS will each get a
$100.00 gift card to a running

794
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,920
local running store, which was a
great sponsor.

795
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,320
Forward Footwear, which is in
Northeast Mesa.

796
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,720
They're also providing $50.00
gift cards to those who return.

797
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:12,800
The silver bars.
The missing silver bars.

798
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,800
How much are the silver bars
worth in relation to the 50

799
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:16,960
bucks?
What's what's?

800
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,480
Pennies.
I have a it can't.

801
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,160
We'll see.
I I haven't found the the

802
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,360
perfect silver bar yet, but
we'll have something for that.

803
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:33,600
They every person will also get
a race shirt and a finisher pint

804
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,120
glass that will have the race
logos on it.

805
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,720
The pint glass is really cool.
I'm working on and trying to

806
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:46,200
find a photographer to pay them
to provide free finishership

807
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,720
photos for all the race
participants also.

808
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,400
So there's a lot included in
that compared to other races

809
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:57,240
price wise.
I think it's it's it's amazing.

810
00:42:57,240 --> 00:42:59,800
Yeah.
So but it it should be a lot of

811
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,160
fun too.
Yeah, we, Nikki and I started

812
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,360
when Nikki ran cross country in
high school.

813
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,640
I ran the 800 but I trained with
the sprinter, so the longest I

814
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,360
ever ran was 800, right so.
That was my event.

815
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,320
It was 800 and college.
So when when we got to the point

816
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,120
to where I wanted to start
running, we started with five

817
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:22,680
case with a local company called
Arizona Run your race a run your

818
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,320
race AZ.
So we started doing 5 case and

819
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,800
then the better and better we
got A5 case.

820
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,360
Then obviously, you know, so 10
KS and 15 KS, things like that.

821
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,440
But that's where that's where I
started running and getting the

822
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,840
running bug was 5 case.
So you know, you know, you do a

823
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,880
5K for 40 minutes, think you're
a stud and then later, like, you

824
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,120
know, three years later, you're
running across fish 26 minutes.

825
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,640
Woo Hoo.
You know, then my son, the

826
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,560
Marine, Hey, dad, I just did A5
K 19 minutes.

827
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,280
Like shut up, man, just shut up.
19 minutes.

828
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,960
Like really, I can't, I can't
catch him doing that at all.

829
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,160
I could catch his, I could catch
I beat his plank.

830
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,040
He had like a 3 minute plank.
So my, my, my job was to crush

831
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,560
him.
So I my best planks 9 1/2

832
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,400
minutes and then he did a 6
minute mile.

833
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,760
So it took Me 2 1/2 years to get
there, but I did 255 minute 55

834
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,000
second back-to-back miles.
So I beat him.

835
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,000
I was 53 at the time, so I was
pretty proud of that.

836
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:14,960
That's.
Awesome.

837
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,000
That's awesome.
That's really.

838
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,440
But when I told him, when I told
him I'm going to come, I'm going

839
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:19,720
to beat you, I'm going to come
get you.

840
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:23,400
He's like OK old man, but still
you.

841
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,400
Know challenge accepted.
I can see my son saying that to

842
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,040
me soon, yeah.
Yeah, so how so?

843
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,200
How How old are your kids now?
17 and 14.

844
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,680
OK, right.
On I have a son who's 17, he's a

845
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,600
senior in high school and my
daughter 14, she's a freshman.

846
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,040
OK is do both of them run?
Do they have to they get the

847
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:48,680
running bug?
I have to drag my My son is

848
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,600
running a lot right now on his
own.

849
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:58,520
My daughter wants to do
everything and she is really

850
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,720
short and she did track and
field and she loves high jump

851
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:08,280
and I not, not the right, not
the right jeans for that.

852
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,040
But she loves it and she does.
I want, I want them to find what

853
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,800
they love to do.
So it's really like I want them

854
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,880
to love running, but they don't
love it like I do.

855
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,240
Yeah.
The most important question is,

856
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:24,000
do you now know everything?
Because they're at the age where

857
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:29,320
they know everything.
I I never knew everything,

858
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,920
especially young, young
knowledge.

859
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:38,200
I I was old at a young age.
We have that I I learned I

860
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,000
learned to piss, piss off my
son.

861
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,120
He got in trouble one day, so I
made him.

862
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,640
I made him go run with us.
He beat not just the he beat

863
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,120
everybody like he beat.
He was the first one across the

864
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,080
finish line.
It was my first ever thing I did

865
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,000
with with runner race.
AZ was the real talk USA Run

866
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,520
Your race 5 or Feed My Starving
Children 5K because we were

867
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,400
doing our first charity thing
when I was when I was doing my

868
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,320
radio show.
So I I partnered with run your

869
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,080
race Arizona.
So Jake was pissed off.

870
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,080
He got in trouble or something.
So made him go to the race and

871
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,800
legit he beat everybody and I'm
like, I'm going to piss you off

872
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,160
more son.
I forget the time to which it

873
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,000
was a crazy time.
He would be able to tell you,

874
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,000
but I had to be around 20
minutes and he never ran a day

875
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,760
in his life.
Like it wasn't anything that he

876
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,560
wanted to do aside from the
little sprints and stuff you do

877
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,200
at baseball and football
practice wasn't long distance.

878
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,560
But he just, I made him go,
'cause he did something wrong.

879
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,960
And so, you know, just.
Voila.

880
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,720
Just, you know, yeah, yeah.
So just piss your son off, man.

881
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,160
And well, I guess you can't now
'cause he's 17, you know.

882
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,840
So hindsight when he has his
grandkids tell him hey just piss

883
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,160
off your piss off your 8 year
old and then make him run with

884
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,160
you and then it's lifelong.
Passion.

885
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:52,040
Right.
Yeah.

886
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:54,960
So then let's talk a little bit
about you.

887
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,800
Let's talk a little bit about
United Sound.

888
00:46:57,720 --> 00:46:59,480
Yeah.
Do you, are you able to share a

889
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,080
screen?
Can you?

890
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,440
Yes, yes.
Go to my I've.

891
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,280
I've done a post about United
Sound so I want to talk about

892
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:08,640
how I'm raising money for United
sound.

893
00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:13,800
I mentioned I've.
Can you see that?

894
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,480
Is that make a donation?
Oh yes, perfect.

895
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,400
The pledge.
If people want to go to this

896
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,680
pledge, this website that has
the pledge link and pledge per

897
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,960
kilometer, per mile, and that
will really help me one more

898
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,480
loop every time, like I'm going
down what site?

899
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,080
Is.
Please, Yeah, yeah.

900
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,160
What is the website?
Because I just, I just clicked

901
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,480
it.
I don't know the domain.

902
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:42,040
Oh the URL is crazy.
Yeah, that is the United Sound

903
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,640
website.
I don't know if there's a direct

904
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,720
link, so just there's.
United Sound.

905
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,560
Well, I can just United sound
there.

906
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,240
It is so yeah, United sound.org.
Just go to unitedsound.org and.

907
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,200
Then, and you should be able to
find it.

908
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:01,560
And I might have to get them to
make it more because they kind

909
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,040
of hit it.
It's only accessible by the link

910
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:08,240
that I share on socials, yeah.
That's how I found.

911
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,280
It I'll have them open up, I'll
have them open up.

912
00:48:10,720 --> 00:48:15,800
So donate per kilometer or mile
and that will really help me

913
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,640
continue going.
Awesome.

914
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,880
The longest I've run is 31
miles.

915
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,560
My goal for this my I've got
three goals.

916
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,240
That's kind of how I typically
live.

917
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:29,920
I have a baseline 100
kilometers, which is 62 miles.

918
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,360
That's my baseline goal.
I feel like no matter what

919
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,120
happens, I think I could, I
could hit that mark and it's

920
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:40,480
it's a big mark.
But then my next goal on top of

921
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,320
that is 100 miles.
And that is going to full 24

922
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,800
hours finishing 100 miles.
And then my third goal on top of

923
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,160
that is to do anything above 100
miles.

924
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,080
And that's what that will go.
That will go towards the United

925
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:57,520
Sound.
And the United Sound is a great

926
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,360
peer mentoring program.
They offer middle school, high

927
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,760
school, and even college level
special needs mentorships for to

928
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,760
get the special needs kids and
and disabled kids to be able to

929
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:15,360
participate in music programs.
It's not a music program, it's a

930
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,080
peer mentoring.
And they've actually been around

931
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:19,920
for 10 years.
They're just coming out with

932
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,120
some research that shows very
significant findings and

933
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:28,120
improved coping skills, being
able to live in adulthood.

934
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,000
Like there's so many great
benefits to this program that

935
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,240
they're being and it's, it's
just such a great, great thing.

936
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,160
That's great.
And for those and for those of

937
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:38,640
you watching us live, I just put
it on the Chris and Mike show

938
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,160
page.
It's right there.

939
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:41,400
Donate.
Awesome.

940
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:42,480
Thank you so much.
Very.

941
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,720
Cool, this is what we do man.
That's why we're here.

942
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:48,440
There's.
There's, there's that for sure.

943
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,000
And so just make sure you
understand that because like

944
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,080
when Michael Scott, my buddy
Michael Scott, he was doing the

945
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,080
Dunder Mifflin 5K for rabies
awareness thing and he signed

946
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:01,840
up.
Actually, it was before that was

947
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,280
his first race ever.
Oscar his his employee.

948
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,600
Oscar wanted him to sign up
right for race.

949
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,440
Per mile.
Per mile.

950
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,800
Yeah, per mile.
And he put, he put all $25 in

951
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:17,280
the I tried to, I tried, I've
always tried to do the math in

952
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,120
my in for that episode, but I
can never figure it out because

953
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,120
they don't actually say how many
miles that that Oscar's nephew

954
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,600
ran.
But I can just imagine, you

955
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,880
know, because it's kind of like,
you know, that one of it, I

956
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,560
think it's called around the
world where you're running

957
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,360
non-stop for 24 hours, right.
Every yeah, you know that thing,

958
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,800
Matthew, I'm sure you do where
you're just running.

959
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,520
It's just non-stop.
But yeah, so it's per per mile,

960
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,600
which is cool.
What's what's the average that

961
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:47,800
people donate for that per mile?
I I I've had someone donate

962
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,240
$0.50 per mile.
I've had someone donate I think

963
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:54,360
$3 per mile.
So far 80.

964
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,920
No, I've had I've had one person
do $5 per mile.

965
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:02,640
So the hope is that $5 per mile
donation will be $500, that

966
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:06,520
$0.50 per mile donation will be
$50.00.

967
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:10,560
So $0.10 per mile, whatever it
is like I don't care.

968
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,840
I anyone who donates will
increase the impact of, of what

969
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:16,800
we're doing.
So cool.

970
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:19,200
Right on.
That is really cool.

971
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,280
Yeah.
So again, you can go to Chris

972
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,720
and Mike show Facebook page and
and links there, sign up for

973
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,640
that for sure.
So anything else you want?

974
00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:28,080
Anything else you want to touch
on Matthew?

975
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,120

996
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,520
So we so before we go, we're
going to we wrap up all their

997
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,880
shows like this, but I want to
share something that, you know,

998
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,720
real quick here.
And don't log off when you're

999
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:33,800
done.
We got to Yeah, don't log.

1000
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,920
Off yet Matthew?
Don't log off yet, Matthew.

1001
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,280
Oh wait, I'm in the wrong
profile.

1002
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:46,080
He's in the wrong profile.
Well, I just, I just come on

1003
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:54,680
discussion.
Wow, it's just dragging stupid

1004
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,760
tech.
My connection was so slow

1005
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:58,280
getting on today.
It was OK.

1006
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,840
There's been some power outages
down here in the valley.

1007
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,440
I'll tell you what, there's
something weird going on because

1008
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,240
I kept losing connection as I
was driving back and forth to

1009
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:10,720
Michigan today.
Like in my car you would have

1010
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,080
huge dead spots where I'd never
have them before.

1011
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,920
So, OK, so we wrap a very show
like this and the reason why

1012
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:22,200
this picture is there, we lost
Steve over the weekend.

1013
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,440
Not sure why, but he said to
take his own life.

1014
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,640
And, and it's just, it's, it's
if you're, if you're feeling

1015
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,320
sad, depressed, suicidal, go
outside and run and go scream in

1016
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,120
a pillow.
Go journal, you know, find

1017
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,200
somebody to talk to you.
If you can't find somebody to

1018
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,360
talk to you, go to text 988.
Somebody's there waiting to talk

1019
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,240
to you to help you understand
that it's OK.

1020
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:47,280
Tomorrow is a better day with
you in it because you're going

1021
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,840
to leave a hole in somebody's
heart, IE right there.

1022
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,320
Somebody does love you.
Somebody will miss you.

1023
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,640
So just, you know, don't go to
the extreme because you have no

1024
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,160
idea what kind of impact that
action is going to have on

1025
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,840
everybody around you.
This is someone that that Nikki

1026
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,880
and I, I mean, for years and
years and years, we went to

1027
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:09,280
Raptors games with them.
It's it's just it, it's one of

1028
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,440
those things that's like, it's
just, it didn't have to happen.

1029
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,880
So you know, you're not alone.
You're seeing somebody will love

1030
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:16,680
you.
Somebody Loves You.

1031
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Somebody will miss you.
Just don't do it.

1032
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:20,920
Text 988.
Somebody's there to help you.

1033
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:22,640
They're standing by waiting to
help you.

1034
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:25,920
That's what they do for Chris
and Mike.

00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,640

We're for the dead.
We're supposed to arrive here

We're playing.
So you quit on the almighty man.

You gotta dream.
Who in your life to keep up?

Soul in every man.
Take the trail behind your eyes.
