 Good morning Hank, it's Tuesday. Today's video is like nothing you ever bought at Ikea, it comes to you in only two parts. Part one, commencing. So over the weekend, Sarah and I drove to Gambier, Ohio, where I got to deliver the commencement address at my alma mater, Kenyon College. Here's part of what I said. So when I was a student here, there was widespread agreement among my peers that the so-called real world of proper adulthood was basically a disease you caught and then eventually died from. Like adulthood with its mortgages and spreadsheets and lawn maintenance seemed to be a thing to be dreaded and resisted until finally it overtook you like a zombie plague. And then like once you acquired adulthood, you would start saying things like brand awareness in a fractured media landscape. And we need a president who knows how to get things done. To be an adult meant engaging in totally unironic conversations about the weather. I remember once when I was at Kenyon, my grandmother called me to tell me that she was watching the weather channel and that it looked like it was raining in Ohio. I explained to her that I was reading Ulysses, that I wasn't even in Gambier, but in Dublin, Ireland in 1904. And that history was a nightmare from which Daedalus was trying to awake and that nothing, literally nothing mattered less than the current weather. And then after a moment she asked, well, is it raining or isn't it? To be an adult was to be a river rock blasted by an endless torrent of mundane terrors from resume formatting to electricity bills that would inevitably smooth all my hard edges until I looked and felt just like everything else. Now this is the part of the commencement address where I'm supposed to tell you that in fact adulthood isn't so bad and blah blah blah, but no, no, it is so bad. Side note, graduation gowns are not flattering. In the end this speech is mostly just a celebration of unironic conversations about the weather. If you want to watch or read the whole thing, you can do so links in the doobly-doo. Part two, sports. So Hank, I am in the midst of the greatest sports month of my life. A couple weeks ago I drove the Pace car at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, which allowed me to experience what it's like to be tailgated by 30 professional race car drivers. We're just six days away from the annual highlight of my social calendar, the Indianapolis 500. Amazingly, the fourth tier English football team Nerdfighteria sponsors AFC Wimbledon have found themselves in the playoff finals, just one victory away from being a third tier English football team. That's right Hank, on May 30th AFC Wimbledon will take the field at Wembley, a 90,000 seat stadium, and wearing DFTBA on the back of their shorts, they will play a one game playoff against the sailing ships of Plymouth, Argyle. It's hard to describe how unlikely this is, Wimbledon have the smallest stadium of any team in their league and among the smallest budgets. They'd also be the only English team owned by their fans to be as high as the third tier, so this is a massive moment for the club. And as you know, if you listen to our podcast where you can get all the week's news from both Mars and AFC Wimbledon, I am immensely excited. In fact, Hank, I am leaving directly from the Indianapolis 500 to go to the game in London. So Nerdfighters, if you live in or near London, I hope you will come to Wembley on May 30th to cheer on the dawns. If you want to go to the game but can't afford a ticket, email me and I will try to work something out. Info on all of that in the doobly-doo. Hank, I know that sports are silly. But as Pope John Paul II once said, Of all the unimportant things, football is the most important. Hank, I'll see you on Friday.
