Hello and welcome to the Blind by a Podcast. Your guard just delicious boys and girls.

I'd like to start today's podcast with a short piece of prose that was written by Hollywood

actor Vincent Carthuser.

My favorite breakfast is a single peach with a generous helping of Philadelphia cream cheese.

I like the way it looks like a round-faced man who has a long white beard.

I often leave it like darmin' down my plate for up to an hour, staring at the bearded

peach man on my breakfast staser.

I tell him my secrets about myself. I tell him about the hit and run. Then I devour him.

If there's no Philadelphia cream cheese, I rub my sturiser on the peach because it looks like

cream cheese. I pinch my nose, eat it and imagine the taste. It makes me feel unwell for the rest of the day.

That was a short piece of prose called My Breakfast by Vincent Carthuser, who uh...

you might know from madmen, he played the role of Pete Campbell in madmen.

And he has what's interesting about Vincent Carthuser. Pete Campbell the character, if you know

Mad Men, is a total prick, but Vincent Carthuser himself is a... he's a minimalist.

Is that the word? He doesn't own any possessions. I think he lives in a box and refuses to own any

possessions. So thanks very much to Vincent Carthuser for sending in that piece of poetry about his

morning ritual with peaches and cheese. I don't know if you can notice a slight difference in sound.

I'm not in my studio. I'm in the West End of London in a fancy hotel.

I'm over here with the BBC making my TV show. So I'm writing a week, having started filming yet.

So yeah, I'm in a hotel which is a little bit uh... I should be in an apartment but there's not

really any appropriate apartments around London, a Christmas because the place is fucking packed.

So I'm going a little bit Howard Hughes here in the hotel.
