Publicists, editors have been negotiating my arrival.

And they take me to this kind of press room and they tell me Messi will be there in a few minutes.
This American Life

I was not given so much as a glass of water and I waited.

And then someone came in and told me that I'd be meeting Messi, actually not then, but like before afternoon training.
This American Life
888: Not Today, Hades!
And I was like, okay, so can I watch the training?

This American Life
888: Not Today, Hades!

This American Life
888: Not Today, Hades!
