WEEK 00: Sunday morning — January 15, 2006
Two weeks before the Third Street Gym boxing boot camp begins, but just minutes after we’ve decided to enroll.
In this scene, Dr. Faust describes his illustrious boxing career back in his homeland, Austria.
I, Mefisto, look on, unimpressed.
Coach, who is handling the camera, apparently finds it all a lot funnier than I do.

WEEK 00: Where it all began, waiting for a table at Just For You.
Dr. Faust, Coach, and I (Mefisto) review the poster that lured us into trying out the Third Street Boxing Gym bootcamp in San Francisco.
No boxing experience necessary . . . Those who wish to test their newly acquired skills will be given the opportunity the final night in the ring . . . The rules are: Absent two days — you’re gone. Late three days — you’re gone.
6am to 7:30am Monday through Friday for six weeks.
Two teams, two pro trainers, twice the results . . . and two lawyer dudes.
I noticed the poster while having breakfast with Dr. Faust and Coach after a long bender of a weekend. It seemed like an appropriate challenge for a bored dude too fond of beer and not fond enough of office life — sort of like Bill Murray going to sign up for the Army at the beginning of Stripes.
