Thanks. Duties continue into next week as I go back to Los Angeles to record Soft White Underbelly. No idea what to expect there.

Make sure you do the Hero Shot like you taught us! What was it again, you start by looking down to the left, and then slowly back up to the camera. You'll look badass!

Oh all the best! I hadn’t heard of their series of videos before - was going to say it sounds like a nickname I’d say to my Labrador but it looks a lot harder hitting than that. And yes Joe - definitely with the hero shot!

These contest photos were a lot of fun to do! It incidentally also worked as a decent writing prompt of sorts that you’d get every two days.

Also:

Anyone who has a copy of ‘Not Forever, But for Now’, be sure to read the About the Author section AFTER having read the novel for a neat Easter egg.

In reference to the hair story: My first one was the thickest, coarsest hair Ive ever seen. Very rough to the touch. Like 25 gage wire. It was so thick that it actually broke off not long after it sprouted.

Get this, about a week ago, Cheap & Crass tagged me on Twitter of your next Joe Rogan interview set to happen on October 27th. The only problem was you already did it back in 2021. Never felt so disappointed in all my life. I thought it was a new Joe Rogan interview!

Also, I've been using an AI image creator and I created you making presents. This is totally how you make swag boxes, right? Enjoy!
