What do you want to be when you grow up?

Radiolab
The Punchline

And I think 90% of the boys were like, I'm going to be in the NHL.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And I always said that.

Radiolab
The Punchline

My parents have all that stuff all over the walls and stuff.

Radiolab
The Punchline

But yeah, I always dreamed of playing in the NHL.

Radiolab
The Punchline

I think everybody, that was their big dream.

Radiolab
The Punchline

So yeah.

So John has this classic Canadian hockey kid story.

Radiolab

Put on skates when I was three.

Radiolab
The Punchline

My dad built the rink in the backyard.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Played all the time.

Radiolab

Every single day, morning, noon, and night.

Radiolab

And you would just go to sleep in your gear and wake up and just jump right on the ice.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Skate until 7 or 8 at night, and you would just jump in bed and go to sleep.

Radiolab
The Punchline

You just kept it on to save time.

Radiolab
The Punchline

But the thing about John was that even as a kid... I was a monster.

Radiolab
The Punchline

I came out of the womb 24, 25.

Radiolab
The Punchline

Five, 24 and a half inches long.

Radiolab
The Punchline

And I was 11 pounds, 12 pounds.
