I'VE NEVER BEEN TO THE GYM WHY? IT SEEMS LIKE IT'D BE HIGH ROI. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE BEST THINGS YOU COULD DO FOR, LIKE AN HOUR A DAY I'VE BEEN TELLING MYSELF FOR 3 YEARS TO GET INTO THE GYM BECAUSE I DO WANT TO LIKE, TONE. I'M JUST... COMFORTABLE WHERE I AM, LIKE I'M HAPPY WITH MYSELF AND I WAS TRYING TO BENCH PRESS, AND I THREW OUT MY SHOULDER.

Transcript

I've never been to the gym day in my life. Why? It seems like it'd be high ROI. It seems like that would be one of the best things you could do for, like an hour a day. Listen, I've been telling myself for 3 years to get into the gym. Because I do want to like, tone. But I don't know. I'm just... comfortable where I am, like I'm happy with myself. And I was trying to bench press, and I threw out my shoulder.
