We spoke with Bryan Friday to see if things were settling down any -- and the answer is no. 

"It's been really inspiring. I never anticipated it to go around the world the way it has, with all the different countries, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, London. Just all around the world,  it's been absolutely amazing," said Thornhill.

Bryan was in the 10 News studio for an interview with Australian TV. Bryan said for the most part, the response to his running punishment has been positive.
