I often think about, you know, there was one day, dude, one day when I was coming home from a baseball game,

Where I walked up the stairs.

We were getting ready to ride the T, which is like the Boston subway system.

And we were getting ready to ride the T, but the line after the baseball game was like really long.

There were so many people that were on the T. So we, just for a goof, walked up the stairs to see this Taekwondo school.

And as we were walking up the stairs, this guy, John Lee, who was a national champion at the time, was preparing for the World Cup.

and he was like 28 years old, he was in his prime, and he was kicking this bag, and as I was going up the stairs, I was hearing, whomp, and then the sound of a chain, like, cha-ching, whomp, cha-ching, and I went up and watched this guy kick the bag, and I was like, what the fuck is that?

It's like Tong Poh and kick-walking, whatever it is.

He's kicking the pole?

Yeah.

And I was just, I was like...

I want to learn how to do that.

And I was there the next day.

I signed up.

I had enough money to pay for the class.

I signed up, and I was there every day.

From then on, I was there every day.

I mean, every day.

I worked out every day of the week.

I worked out Sunday.
