A little story to seal the deal
My dad once complained that he didn’t “get” panel shows. So I made him watch an episode where Sean spent five minutes arguing that a cat could be trained to drive a tiny car. My dad went from skeptical to wheezing with laughter in under a minute. Now, every time he sees a cat in the street, he whispers, “There goes the next Formula One driver.” That’s the power of Sean Lock—he changes how you see the world.
