Description

This week's running order...

I’m voting for Keith… 

Location:

AC: Lake Geneva SW: Sick Bay

Involuntary Sponsor of the Week:

• Armand Duplantis - world record pole vaulter. No, not that one. Competes for the Swedes
• Messi of Pole Vaulting - Duplantis is the world outdoor and indoor record holder (6.25 metres or 20 feet 6 inches, and 6.22 metres or 20 feet 5 inches, respectively), two-time Olympic (2020 and 2024) champion, two-time World outdoor (2022 and 2023) and indoor champion, and current European champion. World Athletics pays 100K for each world record breaking. 9x. By a centimeter at a time.

The Zeitgeist:

• Ace as a white bearded man (and Mayor)
• Funerals: put me on a paddle board, fire burning arrows at me
• Funerals: Exit here - cool funeral parlors
• Coaching Gen Z on how to make phone calls - Doctor’s appointments
• "Holidays in July" - healthy capitalism or ailing economy?
• Stop Pretending You’re Not Rich - British Classism is more honest than American Classism, the top 1% is actually the top 15%, and there’s more of a “wealth trap” than a “poverty trap”: Opinion | Stop Pretending You’re Not Rich - The New York Times
