Lit candles for the win.
Surf fans rejoiced as one, yesterday, as Colin Jost re-emerged after suffering a horror foot scrape in “the most dangerous place in the world.” The funnyman, tapped by NBC to be the on-ground reporter, shared that he had scratched his hoof on the reef then developed a deadly staphylococcal infection then developed an ear infection then disappeared entirely.
Fearing the worst, the aforementioned surf fans lit candles and thought their most positive thoughts.
Massive relief that the collective action had worked as Jost came back to Instagram and wrote, “I’m alive. With journalism.” Adding further context he explained, “rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
It was accompanied by a bit with Jost interviewing skulls after learning that Teahupo’o might mean “Wall of Skulls” from “a white man in Indiana” though might he have meant Kaipo Guerrero? I can’t post it due the fact that I was kicked off of the platform by a patented Brazilian storm of complaints and have lost my ability to share.
Poop emoji.
In any case, and as post-mortem, did you enjoy the broadcast of Olympic surfing shortboard? Was your coverage better, worse or the same as World Surf League coverage?
