Joining us right now on the show Jeff Bowman whose book stronger about his experience at Boston Marathon in 2013. And and life after it. Was turned into a film starring Jake Gyllenhaal Jeff pal Mario. And it's Riley threw it one more time here Jaffna Mario what do you. Mark what he got blocked rail project right now what are you it's you tell us what you want here and won't play it for him. Little got a good studios there local. I don't know have been this. By the way it's for his Wall Street that idea and it's been awhile Ed. And secondly I watched the movie last night and it is it's fantastic guy out. I just think. I don't know how you I don't know how you did what you did die it's just and I know you know you did what you did but it's it's an amazing it's amazing story. Thank you so much good idea out there because it is you know other brilliant blue dot com. And yet you're you're tired said that I think some not so straight out so that's still pretty well look there the democratic side. The the Tom. I want to know what your family thinks. About maybe your mom and and your uncle who's a portrayed by Lenny Clark does a great job he's an awesome job. Our first black or are they really like that and what they think and what it and what do they think of their portrayal. And little problems that they the the truth Dario lost all that up and you know it what is great yeah you know letting you let it pretty crazy in my well he's declared these these are. Great yeah it's even cool guy. Yeah I'll put out the first mosque that they do have been locked did you watch certain grade it would it would agree in this first heard it. Well I think heavily edited and my mom walked out and she goes like that you know flat apartment into that dirty it's. Good or bad about that it shouldn't dwell on that but. Yeah there that we shouldn't protect her she's British and yet you know that in that role. You know I executed pretty well and edited. You know like most mothers they can't be over the husband and father do it and I think it just captured that moment. They you know those specific moments a little over the top you know there are bite down on the consent of but you know captured that he had to capture the moment and there are. Over the top. I don't think I don't think I realized. And and I actually. IE I feel it probably at times. Greg you'll foundation did this where we asked you to go to an event toward. A ten something and I don't think I realize until I saw the film. How you know that there's a scene where your mom. Has line you ought to be on Oprah and you don't wanna be on. And I don't think I realized. That it's. That you uncomfortable with the attention and that. I got the impression from the film that you really. Didn't feel comfortable being. Kind of the that that the poster guy for Boston's strong it's kind of message that you wanted to send. Although. Utility and it started to get started easily but the thing about the movie and it started out that aspect seek advantage of that out. You know like what are real purpose and outcome walk. In my own. Way you know I'd end. Like I think we'll survive without their or part of it can probably you know backed me up on the you're gonna walk you didn't know what our question could see apple and if you get out do all that stuff which is great and and then put it also shows you don't act toward that veteran of the first the other subway that. Yeah. But the vote you know adapting it in accepting it over appears that this and that's what the movie that goes into. Was it on the scene you know you you eat you go to the Bruins game and and you're very nervous about that and and then you kind of lose it afterwards. There on Aaron what I mean was that was that it was at an accurate portrayal that's what happened. Well I think it was just an accurate portrayal of all without going through not necessarily you know it is I hate it you know without going through bites at that place. You know they had to capture the way. Credit you know the didn't court agreed to an estate and an entry Lugar an existing nobody talks and Morgan. We didn't have as part of that movie ended June you know Miller is it sent an hour actually trouble. You know I am a little bit of the actual list that. It is that to the movies about it is certainly a real movie it. All. Security did the doubt that a lot of spoil the movie let he's been at he would. Jeff Bowman is I guess then the film is called stronger and I thought. Jake Gyllenhaal did a great job of portraying you how much time did you guys spend together before he filmed the movie. All of it too much a lot. What. Yen to find out total per Troy that your oh road quite calm tried it out every day there. Really you talk to gentlemen Alan and that's that some. I body I thought he thought emailed statement. I thought he nailed the mass is all accent iMac thought it was pretty good that. And yeah he got pretty yet that you it was. Jeff there was some there was a little bit of controversy in the film came out when he was chosen. That day didn't it a paraplegic actor to portray you. It does that bother you at all. You don't. I would send the player myself. And they didn't look at Clinton clearly didn't go OK let's let's get to. Yeah out loud lined up out creative and find out lined up to play myself but they get a part of this product that is actors they thought or yet. No it didn't. Yeah. I do I happy I get some partial vote where should I do you feel like there's you know. That the table doctors do need it shot a bigger shot out there and you know I think they'll get that he'd get it. No it didn't use a lot of disabled. And also look at the survivors in the in the background and and crucial talks. You know that was. Really cool I really enjoyed it other amputees get them get some work done and if you don't maybe what you see and enabled sir. Continue which will be great if you'll give me the equity and acting classes and get out of luck. Glad to what what scene or what part of the film was hardest for you when you watched it. Very great you know which which scene was the hardest for you to watch if if any of the war. Yet those that have really good off the pain from what they're thinking Burke added that first it's change. Yes. And you go to the cycle from Russia over educational. There have been the multiple cities new ideas so. Accuses Lula government system and its nose then and then. Though error went straight there look me. You know that should tell me they get there without it such a palpable but in the settlement that I can hear about it Greg creed shocked that he did it out. You know they didn't have that role of forty minutes and that's actually you don't. Nurses the real nurses are not seen it and legal docket of us live look surgeon is still in the court so we're talking me through it so. The bad that you guys that's brought to break. That seat which is so real. You know aren't hard but a good crowd you know that they actually what their what. Well it's an amazing film I highly recommend that you watch stronger and you read the book and I guess. If you if you will will get a Pearl Jam song on for you Jeff I just way he uptown but what do you want to get some new assignment on. I don't do it. And you know look at. All right well you all will will begin the WA a good way it will begin the work day blitz that all right how's that I. And congrats on the movie and and a great great to talk to normalcy I'm sure soon somewhere. All right there's. Jeff. Home and I would highly recommend you watch out Mary's little Mickey's it sometimes make you laugh but sometimes Lanny is excellent. When he has some very funny lions. And they release to date portrayed the family is your tip of cool Massachusetts. Family that is fighting over a lot of things as one of those Monte Simpson about the apartment looking like him it's history.
