These Boston boys have a great history. Twins Matthew and Martin, both firefighters on opposite sides of the country, grew up in South Boston with their pal John. With their good looks, Irish charm and thick Boston accents, these guys seem to be able to sweet talk their ways out of any potential trouble.
They joined the hunt to feel like kids again. Will this adventure also bring them to a pot of gold?
Strengths: Fierce competitiveness, loyalty.
Weaknesses: Small but mighty.
Fun Fact: John had a record deal with Atlantic Records in the early 1990s.

John still resides in South Boston where he grew up with his best friends and teammates, the Mullen twins. John graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Boston and now works as a mortgage consultant. John says that he regrets not moving to Los Angeles with the Mullens back in the mid ‘90s. Their friendship as kids was more of a brotherhood and he hopes that the “Treasure Hunters” experience will give him a chance to experience that brotherhood again. Having grown up with six older sisters, twins Matthew and Martin meant the world to him. They became his brothers growing up, and that brotherhood continues, having grown stronger from the intensity of being a part of “Treasure Hunters.” John is very athletic and ultra-competitive. Both he and the twins are driven, smart and focused. They know their intensity will be their edge in leading them to victory.He sends a big shout out to his daughter Isabella Mari and his son John Jr.

Matthew joins “Treasure Hunters” with his twin brother Martin and best friend John. Originally from Boston, Matthew currently lives in Westchester, California. Matthew graduated from North Adams State College with a B.A. in sociology and now works as a firefighter for the LAFD. Matthew and his twin brother are inseparable, but admits that teammate John is often referee to their fights. The Southie Boys travel together constantly and are always looking for a new adventure, “Treasure Hunters” being their latest quest. Matthew cites his team’s cleverness and eloquence as their greatest strengths, saying that they can easily “talk a hungry dog off a meat wagon.”

Martin moved with his twin brother Matthew from Boston to Marina Del Rey, California, eleven years ago. Martin, currently a LAFD firefighter, graduated from North Adams State College, where he studied sociology and business. The Mullens and their teammate John are as close as brothers and are always boisterous and hilarious when they get together. Martin and his teammates travel together often and he knows that their personalities will make a big impact on the show. The Southie Boys are representing their native Boston and Martin vows that they will give 100% to win “Treasure Hunters.”

Lawless said this in post #1 : Weaknesses: Small but mighty.
How is that a weakness? You'd think it would be an advantage because people would underestimate them based on their size, and then they could come and show how mighty they are
I really don't like these guys. They are my second least favorites team, after the Fogals. They are too cocky and they flat out lied to the Air Force team about ganging up on them when it was really obvious that that was what they were doing. Rude! At least have enough respect for your competition to admit to the truth when it's so plain what is going on.
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
I don't mind the lying, that's part of this game. They all lied, really. Air Force would/should do the same. I think the Southies are solid but were wuss' for not owning up to what they did. AF called them out and they backed down, weak.
That's what we're saying... just own up to that. It wasn't like you were lying in saying that you didn't know the code, or something. They were asked a question, point blank, that would not have hindered the game in a sense that could change the outcome... so, look 'em in the eyes and say... "Yes, we all see your team as a threat, and we did what we had to do." What a group of puss-boys.
