"But then, I just decided to get off my lazy butt and take advantage of the L.A. weather"
About this Quote
There’s a whole self-mythology packed into “get off my lazy butt”: the performative self-roast that lets a celebrity sound like your friend texting about finally going for a walk. Biggs isn’t describing a heroic transformation; he’s signaling a modest pivot from inertia to action, and the joke is that the bar is intentionally low. That’s the point. Self-deprecation works here as a social equalizer, sanding down the fame and making the speaker legible as a regular person with regular excuses.
The L.A. weather line does more than praise sunshine. It’s shorthand for a cultural fantasy: Los Angeles as the place where wellness is always available, where the environment itself is an alibi for reinvention. “Take advantage” frames the city like a resource to optimize, echoing the West Coast ethos of lifestyle as a project. The subtext is that motivation isn’t some deep internal awakening; it’s opportunistic, almost transactional. The sun is doing the heavy lifting.
Context matters because Biggs is widely associated with a comedic, slightly hapless persona. This quote extends that brand: the guy who’s honest about procrastination, then nudges himself toward a low-stakes upgrade. It lands because it dodges preachiness. Instead of selling discipline, it sells the smallest possible victory - and in a culture saturated with extreme makeovers and punishing self-improvement, that casual, weather-powered momentum feels oddly believable.
