Investors are weighing delta variant concerns, but also watching data that shows a big

increase in vaccinations and a number of companies raising guidance today, including Under Armour,

DuPont, Ralph Lauren, and Moore. Jim, though, you've got to start with last night's Jeopardy, which is really lit up Twitter, I think, right? David, wouldn't you agree? You've got to be pleased with the response. It's rare that I've seen Twitter be so kind. I will say that, and that's been very nice, and I appreciate everybody's very kind comments and certainly

look forward to everybody watching the rest of the week it's good week it did feel like david had

done it hundreds of times you are so smooth you made everyone feel comfortable you were comfortable

some incredibly hard clues last night and i felt bad for the the contestants, including the final jeopardy. Final jeopardy was very hard. I did, John Jacob Astor being the correct response. I did bet the producers, they're like, nobody's going to get this. And they said, you don't know our contestants. But in this case, I was right. There were some others during the week, though, where I was wrong.

People got them. And I was like, nobody's going to get this one either. And they do. They get them. It's magnificent to watch you, and I'm so proud of you. I mean, kind of like I'm calling everyone. You put my partner on as if somehow I'm involved. Because it was so exciting. And your calm nature. like even, you know, they have those questions. So you punched your brother. David made that in. So you like to dress up as a shrimp at the mermaid parade. I mean, I'm like, listen to him. I said, that's our partner. Carl, he was just all business. Look at him. Look how good he loves. The smile. That's confidence.

In fact, if you missed it last night,
