Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, the US dominates  

Team USA finished with 113 medals at the Tokyo Olympics far more than any other country. China finished second with 88 medals. Last night the Tokyo Olympic Games ended with pageantry, speeches, and performances in front of thousands of empty seats. Just like a Jets game. (Additional Out) So now I can go back to forgetting handball exists for a few years.

The average number of new coronavirus cases in the US has increased ninefold since the beginning of July and hospitalizations are also at their highest rate since February. Yesterday Dr. Anthony Fauci warned that the continued spread of the virus could possibly allow new variants to emerge that are more resistant to vaccines if more people don’t get vaccinated. Experts are already seeing more cases of the Lambda variant. Which I assume you catch by going to a Revenge of the Nerds party. (Additional Out) So much for Hot Vax summer.

Eating frozen honey is the new ill-advised Tik Tok trend. The latest viral trend involves freezing a water bottle filled with honey for eight hours and chowing down on it once it’s in a gel-like state. But, health experts warn that consuming mass quantities of honey can cause major digestive issues and sharp stomach pains. As a general rule, just don’t do any Tik Tok challenges. (Additional Out) IE its like eating Taco Bell for five days straight.

Then he took aim at Brady who was in the audience saying by the time he’s eligible in 2035 he’ll give his speech on Instagram. Somebody’s touchy about having four less rings. (Additional out) Apparently he’s also trying to make it in the dad joke hall of fame.
