Great to spend some time together brother. Thank you for the opportunity.

[@Raridge]

Thank you Nick for your service. You motivate many people everyday

[@NotOnDrugs]

Nick, who done your ink? I thought my work was about as good as it gets, but damn. I'm also in New Bedford a lot (Commercial scalloper) - are they around there?

[@erickiyoshiphillips2323]

Awesome brother from a infantryman to you. Inspirational story when I feel like bitching

[@woody1755]

Dude...thank you and all of the badasses like you. Your story is important I know that when I get down about the little things in every day life I'll remember this and kick my own ass and get moving.

I hear ya. I never really got into all that crap. My buddies use to say I was gay because I didn't partake in that garbage. Now a handful of them say I was right all along.

What an amazing tale of survival and endurance. I can only imagine those first seconds of chaos in that insider attack.

God Bless you Mike, and God Bless ALL of our Patriots!!

[@williamferguson8914]

These are the heros we need on our wall. A selfless act to save an 18yo kid.

[@PepperLewisAndCo]

Hellz Yes!!! Nick is the only thing that kept me motivated after I got shot. I saw a pic of him in full kit, in a combat zone, after losing the leg. Knowing that a soldier was willing to put the work in and get back to active duty after enduring the loss of a leg kept me motivated to get up and do the PT, and push to get out of the chair and off the crutches. May the universe Bless him with all her skills and knowledge.

[@NickMACHINELavery]

Thank you

[@PepperLewisAndCo]

@Nick -MACHINE- Lavery Thank you for everything you do, brother. So damn proud of the drive and ethics of soldiers like you, out there defending our interests and helping to further Democracy and a belief in the American dream.

Thank you

[@scottthrockmorton1221]

It may sound crazy but I really appreciate the food related stories (pies etc.). I think the food thing humanizes your guests and makes their lives as relatable as they can be even though your guests tend to be very extraordinary. Thank you.

[@NickMACHINELavery]

Agreed.

[@FlukeTog]

Even Machines need food ! Yea I like hearing about the food memories too. My New England memories had buttered noodles & potato salad with way too much celery salt.

[@shaunfindlay2891]

If anyone has any self doubt, no matter how deep the struggle. This is the story you need to hear. There are no excuses. There are hurdles too high.

[@BostonsF1nest]

In regards to why there are certain pockets of the city with/without an accent. I’d say if you want to experience what Boston is actually like then visit either the South Shore or the North Shore, so the suburban areas just south and north of the city. Or visit a construction site in Boston, or a Bruins game. Boston nowadays is almost entirely gentrified. The ppl who grew up there 30-60 years ago do you live there anymore. Very few anyways. They live in the towns outside the city and commute to Boston for work. For example: he said he lived in Weymouth at one point. I grew up and live in Weymouth. 20 minutes south of Boston. It’s way more traditionally what ppl generally think Boston is than most parts of the city. Southie is not what it was 20 years ago. Old Irish working class ppl do not live there anymore. They can’t afford to. It’s all young yuppie professionals from out of state. Same goes for practically every other neighborhood in Boston: Charlestown, the West End, South End… the only neighborhood that’s even remotely close to what it was in the past still is the North End. Even tho it’s still very expensive to live there, there are still a lot of Italian families and Italian run small businesses present. It’s probably the best and most authentic “Little Italy” in the entire US. Dorchester recently has started to become more gentrified but there are still pockets in that area that remain true to their roots, that’s a very diverse part of the city.

I want to get into special operations, school was never my thing so I suck at algebra but Ive owned my own business for the last 10 yrs with some employees so I know I'm capable in the brain. Physically I'm there as well. I feel like I'm being held back from joining because of the algebra part in the ASVAB is there any way to get into special operations with a lower score? Please honest answers

[@bkcanada01]

Not clear from the Boston accent whether the name of the dog was Bach or Bark. Mike went with Bach, but I bet it was the other.

[@NickMACHINELavery]
