People often ask me, “Brendan, what was it like to win Wimbledon in 2020?” or “as a complete unknown tennis player up to that point, how did you do it?” Easy, you just had to be there.

I get we’re in the “no tax on tips and new vending machines in the cafeteria!” era of politics. But seriously, when I’m king: ANY dentistry-related use of robo/AI/auto-notices = instant death. You abused knowing our birthdays and postcards! You’re done tooth jockeys.
