accompanying the performance.

I was like, holy shit, this is the universe inviting me to the Royal Festival Hall for some cultural deliciousness.

So I bought three tickets for me and my two sons.

My wife and my daughter were otherwise occupied with sporting events.

And off we went to the Royal Festival Hall for some high culture.

It was great.

Yes.

No, I went back to the flat, had a cold shower.

I think it's because on a number of levels, I'm a man who is at war with himself.

and my layers of self-loathing manifest themselves in all kinds of ways and in some ways i'm always looking for ways to punish myself for being a terrible person and i think a combination of that psychological hang-up plus listening to michael mosley god rest him was he called michael mosley

Yes.

The Pope.

It was Pope Francis was his name.

Pope Mosley.

God rest him.

I always have to check with names these days because I'm 55 and I'm just getting them all wrong.

Anyway, when I used to listen to him occasionally, he was a big advocate of cold showers, the Pope.

Yeah.

I mean, I get it.

But I haven't done it.
