S2: E20 - Mike Tyson's Body Guard, Kenny Simmons Jan 02, 2020

Show notes

Kenny Simmons is one tough son of a bitch, and that's exactly why Mike Tyson asked him to be his bodyguard. He first met Tyson training at Gleason's gym in NYC back in the 80's. After that, Kenny went on to do protection for a bunch of celebrities including Madonna, Christopher Walken and Sam Kinison. Before he started fighting he was a Marine and fought in Vietnam.

Kenny is also a survivor of 9/11 and a first responder by virtue of being there and wanting to help as the dust settled. He has never before seen footage of the tragedy as it unfolded and is releasing a film The Rise: America's Unsung Heroes on Nat Geo, to honor the memory of the victims and their families.

S2:E15 - AKA Clementine Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

John Moses is back home in the East End of Toronto talking to some old friends, Pat and 'Clementine', reminiscing about their booze filled, blood soaked early 20's. This is the first episode of Fight Stories where we had to use a pseudonym, because Clementine doesn't want to use her real name and risk losing her job. Stabbings, asps and brass knuckles, it has all of the ingredients of an East End, Saturday night. Lots of (dis)honorable mentions from the old neighborhood in this one. And the very first Fight Stories threesome, a story about Clementine scrapping a couple!
