And it was just like... And by that point, I was a mess.

It was super hot.

I'd been literally drinking water out of the bathroom, like lapping it into my mouth.

Because they didn't give me anything.

thing no I'm just feeling like there are just there's systems around superstars you know that are designed to keep people like me away from them and this was the system working at its finest and I guess at any point I could have just walked out and left but I was on assignment and I thought I can still save this which was which ended up being false

And eventually when Messi finally is brought to me after – it was going to be in the morning.

Then it was going to be, you know, after morning training.

Then it was going to be before afternoon training.

Then it was finally going to be after – long after.

He came in and just –

you know, it was the worst interview that is probably in the history of journalism.

I mean, it was like monosyllabic answers.

He was super bored with every question that I'd asked him.

I was sweating.

I was so nervous.

And whatever you think of the relationship that you've invented,

in your head between you and this person and their work because that's their job it's false it's made up you know they give us they the athletes give us joy they give us despair they give us moments of great drama they allow us to connect with our community with our nation with people all over the world but they don't have to care about us and when you're in the presence of them

They might be having a bad day.
