So when I get there, I strip those off.

I park the bike around the corner from the entrance.

Yeah, I was thinking that.

So you strip off outside.

You can't walk in dressed like this.

Okay.

No, because even though I've got shorts on underneath the over trousers...

there's always a moment of alarm when a middle-aged guy starts unbuttoning his trousers and pulling them down in a lovely place.

It was not that dissimilar yesterday.

Because...

I have somehow got this record contract.

I've had it for about five years.

What?

And it was someone who used to be at Six Music who then was a fan of my podcast and she became an executive at Decca.

And she got in touch years ago to say, do you want to make a record?

Like, you know, it could be just like some jingles, but a bit longer.

She thought I was going to be able just to toss off an album in a couple of weeks, get it out for Christmas, jobs are good.

But she reckoned without my desire to like make Pet Sounds 2.

And so I went through a long, long period of trying to figure out what kind of album I was going to make and all the collabs I could do and all the favors I could pull in and who I could get to produce it and everything.

All this massive overthinking.
