I'm always up before the birds and the kids.

Good thing Costa Express is always up too.

Early starts are easier with great coffee.

And if I grab one for Bob, I might even get some decent company.

Large cappuccino for the bloc who's half asleep.

Oh, you legend.

Now that's a proper coffee.

Should kick in Justin Samfut to remember which end of the screwdriver to use.

Hmm.

Costa Express.

Quality coffee every time.

The last time my guest on this week's show was on the podcast, it was early in the pandemic,

when life was full of terror and possibility. I planned an amazing show. Remember when the shutdown happened?

You're supposed to stay at home? And you had that little memory of all the times that you said,

if I could just get a month off, I could get my shit together. I could get my life. I just need a month off. I planned a

great shutdown. I executed the worst one ever. Oh my God. The lists I make, the list we all made.

We all made the same list. Yes, you did. All the great books you were going to read. All the great

books. All the skills you were going to

learn. Oh my God. We couldn't wait to work on ourselves. If I had actually followed the list that I made,

there'd be a different man standing in front of you right now. It'd be 30 pounds lighter,

be speaking fluent Italian. When all of you walked in, there would have been a handmade raspberry almond crumbled tart.

On everyone's chair, on each chair, I would have hand-milled the flour this morning.
