Talent this week was to be addressed as “Mr. President”.

I got to light President George W. Bush in his private residence at the Bush Library. Arguably one of the most iconic presidents for me growing up as I watched him handle a grieving nation in the time of 9/11, and because he was a Dallas boy, “from the home team” here in Texas just a few miles from me for my whole life.

I had the honor of covering 41’s Funeral a few years ago in Houston, so working with 43, and having Tim Cook interview him after my years at  was a cool full circle moment.

W was the absolute nicest guy, and he showed me some of his paintings and I got to tell him I’d seen many of them in person and how wonderful they are 💁🏻‍♂️

Today was a good day. No matter what side of politics you sit on, it was an influential day.

(Oh, we wore masks the entire time until Bush asked us for a photo, because who wants a photo with the President with a mask on, and Bush insisted we remove them) (we were also all tested beforehand)

Happy 24th Birthday to my dudes in ! Y’all catch them in town here soon! 24 Years, that’s a lot of beer!
