As soon as he got home, he'd turn on the TV and blast the volume so he could hear it while he showered.
He got out of the shower, watched the remainder of the episode and that's when, he says, "I got sick of being haunted by being nobody." He realized that "I didn't want to sit back and continually watch these shows about great people doing amazing things. I wanted that feeling in my head that I believed that they had: of true accomplishment."
