Here we are. We have MADE it. First Friday of March. I gotta be honest with you \u2013 I feel like we sort of limped to the finish line this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I always say I’m nothing if not fair, and I have to be fair here \u2026 it hasn’t been a great week for our team. Like any war, we started out optimistic and full of patriotism, and now things are starting to drag. And it’s only Day 7!<\/p>\n
The jobs report was a bummer this morning. No way around that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The stock market is responding how I figured it would earlier this week. I thought we escaped this one. We did not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The good news? It’s only March. Thank God. If this was September, we’d be cooked. Again, I have to be fair. But, there’s still plenty of time to turn this sucker around. We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And buddy, this Friday class is gonna be the start. Let’s roll.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Welcome to a Friday Nightcaps<\/a> \u2013 the one where Modern Family’s Ariel Winter (Alex Dunphy!) makes her debut in a coat and nothing else. What a moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n What else? I’ve got the best #content from a loaded week, Gatorade shockingly hates white males, Shohei Ohtani is already launching balls to the moon, and AI Bill Clinton is HERE! This should end well.\u00a0<\/p>\n Grab you a Good Burger to celebrate Shaq’s 54th birthday, and settle in for a Friday ‘Cap!<\/p>\n Gatorade probably just fell asleep at the wheel here, right?<\/p>\n Iconic scene. Iconic movie. I think this one goes on my Mount Rushmore of Obscure 90s Movies For Pre-Teens.<\/p>\n Sure, it’s a very niche list, but I think I nailed it:<\/p>\n 1. Good Burger\u00a0<\/p>\n 2. Small Soldiers\u00a0<\/p>\n 3. Big Fat Liar<\/p>\n 4. Smart House<\/p>\n I mean, come ON! Is that a perfect list, or what? Some truly electric movies in there, and I’d wager to say most of you haven’t thought about any of them in YEARS.\u00a0<\/p>\n Not in this class. Not when we’re trying to turn this month around. This is what I mean when I say we’re going to boost morale today.\u00a0<\/p>\n With #content like THIS:<\/p>\n Such an absurd movie. God, I miss those days. Again, I realize this is a niche way to start class, but the 14 of you who get it are already deep in a wormhole right now. You’re welcome!<\/p>\n OK, let’s come back to 2026, unfortunately, and check in with Gatorade!<\/a><\/p>\n What a week of #content!<\/p>\n Amazing. Bravo, Gatorade! You’ve managed to make Propel taste that much better!<\/p>\n Look, I don’t get bothered by stuff like this because, frankly, I’m numb to it. We’ve done this insufferable social warrior stuff for six years now. Six years! We’re closer to 2030 at this point than we are 2020. How depressing is that?\u00a0<\/p>\n
