Got a nice note here. I thought I would share this on the podcast it's from jonathan and he said brand hope

you're doing well my family and i really looking forward to seeing you and lynchburg is coming

thursday oh yay so that would be in case you're listening this late it was Thursday the fifth yes

hopefully it goes well no fourth sorry Thursday fourth yes My wife and I were going to come as a date night, but the kids kept hearing it being announced on the radio and said, hey, we should go to that. So now's the four of us. And here's where I think it gets interesting. I had a question regarding the meet and greet. I know you've talked a few times about feeling strange in photos. Well, I do as well. What if we took a picture with our backs to the camera? That way we could make funny faces, do silly things. It wouldn't matter. I'm fine with doing a front one, but it's awkward. So here's the thing. I told him, like, that's very kind of you. I'm fine with photos. I have developed a smile.

Yes, you have.

And I nail it every time.

Yes, you do.

Have you noticed that? Yes, I have. And if they catch you off guard and you didn't have a chance to get the smile set, you will say, let's do that again. Let's do that again. I'm going to go set it up again. I've worked on it

because I don't like my smile

but that's normal

a lot of people don't like their smile

and um

but I got it set. It's very good. Yes, you do. Thank you. Yes. Every picture I see, I'm like, look at Rayn Hanson smiling. Zach's same smile. Fantastic. It's kind of like Zoolander having to set up the magnum, whatever, but mine's more smiley. Yeah, and you said, have you, did you do it in the mirror? Be honest. I think so. Did you? No, I think I did it for a picture. And I'm like, hmm. I may have, but it's, anyway, Jonathan, I'm cool. I have a go-to look. Okay. Let me try it on you. And if not, you can be the person who says.

All right, back to the question. Anyway, Jonathan, I'm cool. I have a go-to look. Okay. Let me try it on you.

And then if not, he can be the person who says. All right, back to the camera. But I'm cool with it. It took me a while, but I got it. I can't remember if we've mentioned this. Maybe we have on the podcast. But modern day miracles, did we talk about that? No. Oh, my goodness. okay

I know you got stuff
