Have you tried being a volunteer firefighter?

Actually, yes! Two years ago. I spent about 2 years beforehand getting into the best shape I had ever been in in my life - took Capoeira, spent an hour a day in the gym, ran 3 miles every morning - I set a goal that as soon as I broke 150 lbs (starting from 110), I'd go in and apply.

Still didn't pass the physical.
