For (and about) @geniebouchard This is a picture of me and Genie at Wimbledon in 2014 when she and her family so graciously invited Todd and I to watch a match, if we could get to London.Genie and I had been introduced by our managers; I was/am a tennis fanatic and she was a fan of Big Bang Theory (I cannot say if she still watches our reruns haha). She invited me to come watch her play immediately, but I couldn’t due to work schedules, so we just kept some emails going back and forth and I watched her play on tv.I was VERY nervous about writing Genie back then. I have such an admiration for elite athletes and so much affection for tennis players in particular, and their whole existence has an aura of mystery to me - a man who never really played ANY sport and has yet to pick up a tennis racket as an adult. So I was always afraid of saying something in an email that might “throw her off her game” (as if I had the power) I wondered things like “do athletes say good luck? Break a leg? Go out there and slay?” It was ridiculous, but that’s the way I was. I felt that I had more access to an athlete than I was capable of handling.Finally, Todd and I got schedules arranged so that we could travel to London for that 2014 Wimbledon. I had work to finish up in Los Angeles during Genie’s first round match and, as the flights and hotel were already booked, I watched her on TV praying she would win. She did, in straight sets.We met up with Genie’s family on the hallowed grounds that are Wimbledon (it really is very special, like no place I’ve ever been) for her second round match on an outer court. We were taken to seats with Genie’s family and coach while Nick Kyrgios finished up his match on the same court. I had never seen Kyrgios play and MY GOD were we impressed. Anyway… (CONTINUED IN COMMENTS!)

@alexisbittar and @bcohen6 asked me to be part of their short documentary, Reclaim the Flag, earlier this year. I was so grateful they did.I’ve gone from talking about politics and government on @radioandyinsta to not knowing what to say about any aspect of our current situation. So this very specific request each of us in the film were tasked with giving voice to - what does the flag mean to you? - seemed like a great place to begin a conversation.I’ve put a link to the film in my bio and it’s only thirty minutes long. I hope, if you watch it, you’ll be as impressed with the answers everyone gives as I have been. And I hope you’ll appreciate the tone Alexis and Bruce achieved; it’s thoughtful and emotional without ever being hostile. At least that’s what i think.Much love to all. Ihope you get a chance to view it and hope it offers food for thought. And that it just offers hope, in general.
