There you are. | |
I'm going to start off with something that I normally don't do this quickly. | |
But I saw this last night, and I want to bring this to your attention. | |
In fact, it wasn't last night. | |
It was actually going through a news review of last night. | |
They were talking about bank runs, bank disasters, Silicon Valley, etc., etc. | |
People showing up in their cars saying, hey, where's my money? | |
This sounds like something that comes from the days of Mr. Drysdale. | |
Well, here is the thing which is interesting. | |
One of the commentators said, yes, and then there's going to be bank runs and food, food, not hoarding, food storage or preparation, and it got back into this prepper deal. | |
And I'm saying, you see how people are saying this? | |
Three things. | |
Food, water, energy. | |
Energy you can talk to you a little bit about. | |
But food. | |
Well, this is why preparewithlionel.com. | |
This is why I want to tell you something, because there's something new that's happening here. | |
Right now, you can get, of course, you know, the three-month emergency food supply kit. | |
Right now, because people are just listening to what they're telling you. | |
2,000 calories a day, 25-year shelf life. | |

The math is simple. | |
A three-month kit plus a $279 off-grid filter. | |
This is incredible savings right now. | |
And this is so monumentally poignant and perfect right now. | |
The times right now have never been scarier. | |
I even saw it. | |
I even saw this last night in a regular... | |
Actually, it was a YouTube of a regular show because people are saying this. | |
They're seeing things that are happening here. | |
And I am telling you, so go to preparewithlionel.com, preparewithlionel.com right now, and look for the first time. | |
Look at this. | |
You get this incredible, this Alexa Pure Pro water filtration system, which you need, which we haven't talked about before. | |
And it comes with the whole kit and caboodle. | |
Okay. | |
I saw somebody the other day on TV say, well, you know, I'm a journalist. | |
I'm a journalist. | |
And I'm a journalist. | |
And they use that term like the word artist. | |
I'm an artist. | |
I'm an artist. | |
Well, you know, I'm a comedian. | |
Hello, I'm an actor. | |
And I always thought sometimes, you know, comedian, you've got to let me tell you this. | |
Artist? | |
Well, maybe you want to be. | |
But what is a journalist? | |
Let's define it. | |
What does this mean? | |
Because we're always hearing about journalists. | |
Journalism, this, journalism, that. | |
Who's a journalist? | |
Who's not a journalist? | |
Is this real? | |
Is it fake? | |
Is it misinformation? | |
Disinformation? | |
That information? | |
What is it? | |
And we use these terms all the time. | |
So what do we do? | |
Let's always start off, first and foremost, with the definition of what a journalist is. | |
Or journalism. | |
Always do this first. | |
And journalism is the activity or profession of writing for newspapers, magazines, or news websites, or preparing news to be broadcast. | |
Okay, I want a little bit more than that. | |
The product of journalism. | |
A simple definition of journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting. | |
News and information. | |
Four types of journalism. | |
Investigative journalism. | |
This deals with objectively working toward uncovering the hidden truth or facts of a given matter. | |
Person, topic, or interest. | |
Political journalism. | |
Crime journalism. | |
Business journalism. | |
What does it mean, though? | |
We're missing something, though. | |
That's not it. | |
There's something more to it than that. | |
Something more. | |
What does it mean? | |
What does journalism really mean? | |
Does journalism mean no opinion? | |
That's commentary and editorial? | |
Okay, fine, maybe. | |
Can journalism be biased? | |
Well, what's biased? | |
How do you define bias? | |
How biased? | |
Well, you know, not biased. | |
The fact that I'm talking about something shows a bias. | |
The fact that I'm talking about something, if I'm going to show whether this person is about to be indicted, And I talk to the prosecutor versus talking to the defense lawyer. | |
Am I showing a bias? | |
I went towards that. | |
Whenever I have a particular story and I say, let's start off with this story, that's a bias. | |
I'm leading off. | |
I think this is more important than that. | |
The fact that I'm not covering a story means I don't think it's important, so that's bias. | |
What does it mean? | |
Do I want to be a journalist? | |
No. | |
What does a journalist mean? | |
What does it really mean? | |
What does it mean? | |
What does journalism, honest to God, mean? | |
I look at journalism like I do a pathologist. | |
A pathologist. | |
A pathologist and a radiologist. | |
Those are my favorites because they just tell you bad stuff. | |
They just tell you the truth. | |
They'll tell you, you're pregnant, you're not pregnant. | |
That's a tumor. | |
It's not a tumor. | |
It's broken. | |
It's not broken. | |
That's it. | |
They don't tell you what to do with it. | |
Especially if it's not broken. | |
What do you do? | |
What is this? | |
It's a neoplasm. | |
Wow. | |
Is it a cancer? | |
Yep. | |
It's a cancer, right? | |
And judging by the size of it, it looks probably stage 2 or 3. And we'll do some markers and we'll check, but that's it. | |
What do we do for it? | |
I don't know. | |
I'm not an oncologist. | |
I'm a radiologist. | |
I just point it out. | |
I tell you, that's what this is. | |
That's all I know. | |
Do you know why I got it? | |
Nope. | |
Do you know how to prevent it? | |
Nope. | |
Maybe I do, but that's not my job. | |
My job is to say, yep, that's it. | |
That's it. | |
You got it. | |
You don't. | |
You're sick. | |
You're not. | |
You're real sick. | |
You're not that sick. | |
You used to be sick. | |
Oh, it looked like you broke your leg at one point. | |
Yeah. | |
That's what I'm... | |
Interesting. | |
I have a friend of mine years ago, my great friend Bobby Heenan, one time went to a doctor and said, you know you broke your neck? | |
Now? | |
He goes, no, some time he's back. | |
I did? | |
He didn't realize it. | |
That's what journalism is. | |
This is what happens. | |
This is what it means. | |
That's it. | |
This is what it means. | |
What do you think? | |
Why is this? | |
I don't know. | |
Is this worse than? | |
No. | |
Now, do you really want that? | |
Do you really think you can go through life being that? | |
Do you think there could ever be a show where somebody just says, Today, President Biden announced the budget of such and such. | |
Okay, next. | |
Wait a minute. | |
That's all you're going to do? | |
That's all I'm going to tell you. | |
I don't want to tell you too much because, you know, that's... | |
Do you really want journalism? | |
Does that make any sense to you? | |
Does it? | |
Yes, Lisa, the wrestler. | |
My dear buddy, Bobby the Brain. | |
Loved him. | |
Loved him. | |
Funniest guy. | |
But, do you understand this? | |
How does this thing work? | |
What's misinformation? | |
That's my favorite. | |
I heard something the other day. | |
As you know, there's a phrase that is used sometimes by people called soy boy. | |
You're a soy boy. | |
A soy boy, kind of, at least the intimation, the goal is to indicate some type of either kind of a wimpy, you know, snowflakey kind of, you know, whatever. | |
Kind of like a leftist, you know, woke. | |
And the premise, the premise, and this really got me going, the premise is that, well, soy, Has phytoestrogens. | |
And when you say estrogen, estrogen actually, that will lead to effeminate behavior in their life because of the word estrogen. | |
Not even close to being right. | |
Not even close! | |
Phytoestrogens actually prevent breast cancer. | |
Anyway. | |
Now, is that misinformation? | |
Yeah. | |
What should you do about it? | |
I don't know. | |
Correct it, maybe? | |
Say, hey, that's not right. | |
What else is? | |
What else is information? | |
How about buying a... | |
You ever bought a bag of something like chips or cereal and you get this box like this and you open it up and say, hey, where is it? | |
It's all kinds of air. | |
Wait a minute. | |
I mean, they sort of... | |
It's... | |
I mean... | |
They didn't lie to you, but why are you giving me this... | |
Is that misinformation? | |
Is that... | |
Well, yeah. | |
What is this? | |
What are you doing about it? | |
I don't know. | |
I saw something earlier that said, natural. | |
What does that mean? | |
Is that misinformation? | |
I don't know. | |
But yeah, but that's advertising. | |
Still. | |
Hell, you're eating it. | |
You're eating it. | |
I don't know. | |
How about disinformation? | |
That's more of like a, that's more of like a malignant, deliberate. | |
Misinformation is almost like, you could be mistaken, misled, misleading, but disinformation, you know, I'm deliberately, hey, cigarettes are good for you. | |
Cigarettes, and by the, by the by, I like that expression. | |
My old pal, Burt Sugars, by the by, do you think, And this is important. | |
Do you think that some terrible diseases, some things that we would normally do, do you think that maybe there might be some benefits to it? | |
For example, do you think there's a... | |
I remember what I'm reading, that cigarette smokers had a lower instance of something. | |
I don't know, uterine cancer. | |
Don't quote me, but there happened to be some benefit which was outweighed by the problem. | |
Well, if I were to put an article out that says cigarette smoking is healthy because it lowers instances of whatever. | |
Hypertension. | |
Let's assume. | |
Is that misinformation or disinformation? | |
And why is it when it comes to health and Advertising, we say, yeah, but... | |
Well, don't you think that should be the most? | |
Well, I'll let you decide that. | |
The way I see things is, I'm an adult. | |
I take what you say, cum grano salis, with a grain of salt, and I do my own research, and if you're wrong, well, you're wrong. | |
People are always wrong. | |
They are always wrong. | |
Everybody is either wrong, or kind of does... | |
It just doesn't... | |
How about if somebody doesn't tell you enough? | |
It's like telling a joke without the punchline. | |
What if I don't tell you enough? | |
Or what if I give you the idea of something which is not really true? | |
What if I say, well, there's a poll that was taken. | |
This is my favorite. | |
A poll shows that 75% of adults preferred, I don't know, you can pick some person or actor or politician you might not like. | |
Well, I was like, well, let me see the results of this. | |
Oh, you asked adults. | |
Let me the sample size. | |
You asked adults in the teacher's lounge at Pomona Community College. | |
Well, wait a minute. | |
Well, that's in there. | |
No. | |
I had to get to the bottom of this. | |
I had to kind of search. | |
No, that's no. | |
Is that misinformation, disinformation, data information? | |
I don't know. | |
It's up to me. | |
To decide. | |
That's what I think. | |
But would I want to be a journalist? | |
Not really. | |
Not really. | |
I don't even know if that even makes any sense today. | |
There are some... | |
One of my favorites is when people talk about... | |
In fact, I was going to start off today by telling you how music is just... | |
If there's one thing... | |
If there is one... | |
Nothing that society, technology has done better than anything else. | |
It's music. | |
We have been the beneficiaries of the most incredible music. | |
I couldn't believe what I was listening to. | |
Justin Towns Earl. | |
Steve Earl's son, the late. | |
It was fantastic. | |
Ryan Adams. | |
I was kind of, this morning, into alt-country, more, you know, Whiskeytown. | |
Lucinda Williams. | |
Little Lyle Lovett. | |
Have you ever heard of L.A. County? | |
Oh my God. | |
Listen to that one. | |
And I do this on my private channel because I was going through this whole thing and I was, I'd like to go through certain, I'd go through just different trends. | |
Today was beautiful. | |
And the greatest thing that this technology has given is I can create algorithms for moods. | |
It learns me. | |
It's AI. | |
Sort of. | |
It kind of learns me. | |
Oh, okay. | |
Hey, play something, you know, softish. | |
Little boss, got it. | |
And sure enough, have you ever seen the great stuff on YouTube? | |
If you ever have, like, a party or... | |
Wedding reception or anything. | |
And you just need music in the background. | |
It's incredible. | |
It's the best thing that we've got going. | |
It's the greatest technology I've ever seen. | |
I don't have a CD. | |
I got some that I just... | |
And there's no need for anything in the world of radio. | |
Though I will tell you one thing. | |
I will tell you one thing which is very, very good. | |
I love local... | |
I like to hear things like Columbia University has a radio station, BGO, one of the original, out of Newark, great jazz station. | |
There's one, there's not KFU, but more, you know, alternative types and things like that. | |
I kind of like that. | |
There was this one station, oh my God, years ago, out of Virginia that was fantastic for alt-country, but the... | |
Station, I really love. | |
It's on Sirius. | |
It's Willie's Roadhouse. | |
Fantastic. | |
Because it goes back. | |
Wanda Jackson, Skeeter Davis, Stonewall Jackson. | |
There stands the glass. | |
It's my first one today. | |
Webb Pierce. | |
Oh my god! | |
Love it! | |
Ernest Tubb. | |
It's the... | |
Oh my! | |
It makes me happy. | |
I'm dead serious. | |
It makes me happy to think we live in a country that gave us... | |
It's great! | |
Everything is falling apart. | |
But technology, it's just driving... | |
Just surprise me. | |
Don't you love finding new music? | |
Where did this come from? | |
Oh! | |
It's incredible. | |
And there's nothing I love. | |
My routine. | |
I have these routines. | |
And the first thing is starting off the day. | |
Starting off the day. | |
Very important. | |
With music. | |
Headphones, of course. | |
Not too, too loud. | |
And as I luxuriate on my MyPillow pillow. | |

Make sure you're listening to music. | |
Just put a mask on. | |
Just before you get into the world. | |
Every day I do this. | |
Just for a moment. | |
It's like meditation. | |
But you're listening. | |
You can't see anything. | |
You're just listening to music that's in your head. | |
And it's letting you know, okay, before you do this, before you go out into the world, before you've got to deal with this. | |
Here's something which maybe takes you back to a time when you were during a happy day. | |
Maybe some music that you just love. | |
It might be classical. | |
It might be chamber music. | |
It might be who knows what it is. | |
Music is the greatest. | |
I put the Muscle Shoals documentary on my private channel. | |
I go through these various things. | |
Jerry Wexler, my old buddy, was responsible for just go through and it's so weird because I can watch him and think, oh my god, I used to call him on the phone and he's excellent. | |
He's one of the best people ever. | |
But it was because of music. | |
And it's the greatest thing in the world that we have. | |
It's so terrific. | |
Everybody's got this. | |
I was listening to something. | |
I came upon some Georgian... | |
These singers from Soviet Georgia singing their own style and I appreciate it. | |
I don't know what they're saying. | |
I don't know. | |
Some Chinese music. | |
I love the percussion. | |
There's so many from bazookies to... | |
I love it. | |
And everybody, every human, every person, everybody has a natural inclination, instinct for music. | |
They will come up with the music. | |
They will come up with the song. | |
They will come up with the tune. | |
They will do this on their own. | |
It's the greatest thing in the world. | |
It's the greatest. | |
I just walk around with it and I just... | |
I get into a mindset. | |
If I'm trying to write something, if I'm dictating something, I put music, it changes the way I think. | |
I listen to Nick Drake for some things. | |
Listen to little Bob Dylan, Joker Man, Silvio, certain things. | |
Not the usual top 40 stuff, but... | |
It changes my mood. | |
It changes my everything. | |
If you're going to exercise, if you're going to work out, if you're going to do anything, music, music, what it does, I still can't believe that this mechanical, rhythmic thing can actually, I say to myself, I feel different. | |
I feel different. | |
I feel. | |
Put the meters on me. | |
Something must be changing. | |
And it's so critical, so critical for us to teach kids how to play something, to teach them how to play an instrument. | |
Don't bore them. | |
Don't force them. | |
Don't make them play these instruments. | |
We're going to play something you like. | |
We're going to play something. | |
We're going to do something you like. | |
And we're going to encourage you. | |
You see, I created that out of nothing. | |
You punctuated nothing. | |
You punctuated the void. | |
And you artificially created rhythm markers. | |
4, 4, 5, 8, whatever it was. | |
And you stayed within these artificial, well actually real, but these imaginary barriers that you heard. | |
You have this internal sense of rhythm. | |
Most people do. | |
You don't even have to think about it. | |
You just do it. | |
And there's something that happens when you will whistle, or you will hum, or you will sing, you will do something. | |
It is this natural elevation that people have where they say, I want to take this communicative medium that I normally do in terms of speech, I want to take it up a notch. | |
I want to just move it into something different. | |
When people do not, by virtue of inability, disability, when they cannot sing, when they cannot hear, when they cannot... | |
I... | |
I cannot imagine. | |
You know, you can... | |
You don't have to move. | |
And you don't have to see. | |
I'm sorry. | |
But hearing. | |
Because what you can do with that... | |
I mean, think about this. | |
What do you do when you really want to dream? | |
When you really want to go somewhere? | |
You close your eyes. | |
Vision disturbs more Focus than you can imagine. | |
And that's why so many people try drugs and want drugs. | |
And I understand it. | |
I get it. | |
I understand why they do it. | |
Believe me. | |
I understand it. | |
You're always trying to change something. | |
You want to change your environment through laughter, cartoons, movies, maybe working out, exercise, endorphins, maybe playing, maybe going to it. | |
You always want to change your reality. | |
You want to do it. | |
I get it. | |
And here's one for you. | |
What if I could do this? | |
What if I say, okay, here we go. | |
I'm going to connect you right now. | |
I'm going to connect your brain to this device. | |
You're going to take this little ear pod thing and you're going to... | |
I've got to connect you. | |
Now, when you want to get high on... | |
You can push all of your buttons here. | |
This is heroin. | |
This is LSD. | |
This is more of an opioid. | |
Now, when you want to... | |
Feel that. | |
We're going to artificially create heroin. | |
You're not on heroin. | |
There's no overdose. | |
No nothing. | |
But we will create, in your mind, the reaction that you get. | |
We will hit an opiate or heroin receptor. | |
We will artificially create that feeling. | |
You're not on heroin. | |
But you push this button like this, and then you are. | |
And when you want to go to work, you turn it off. | |
And it's gone. | |
You want to take a five minute break? | |
Yeah. | |
Go outside to have a cup of coffee. | |
Take this. | |
Hit it. | |
Be in la la land. | |
Some people can't get back and push it back again. | |
Would you do that? | |
In a heartbeat. | |
Wouldn't you want to say, ooh, let me see this. | |
What does this feel like? | |
What is this weird kind of hallucinogenic route from the Amazon? | |
Ooh. | |
I got it. | |
Click. | |
I'm back. | |
And it never hits my bloodstream. | |
Never hits. | |
No toxicity. | |
No hepatic turnover. | |
No liver damage. | |
No nothing. | |
Hey, you're an alcoholic? | |
Yeah. | |
You want to get drunk? | |
Yeah. | |
Well, we're going to create the feeling of being drunk. | |
You're not going to be drunk, but there's no more drinking. | |
Okay. | |
We're going to let your liver's fine. | |
Okay, ready? | |
Go like this. | |
Wow! | |
And you can dial it. | |
Kind of like Tempur-Pedic. | |
Kind of a dial you're drunk. | |
And maybe you can have somebody give it to them and they can over... | |
Over... | |
Turn your... | |
Let's say you get too far into this and you don't want to come back. | |
But wouldn't that be something? | |
Be able to create? | |
Artificially create? | |
I want to be happy. | |
Boy, this is crummy. | |
Oh, I love this. | |
Hey, you want to go to my cousin Janine's wedding? | |
No. | |
Wait a minute. | |
I forgot. | |
I love this. | |
You see a problem with that? | |
Do you? | |
Remember, remember, it's not real. | |
There's no drugs. | |
There's no drugs. | |
There's no spoon, there's no injection, no nothing. | |
Just this. | |
Wait till you see what happens. | |
And of course, as you know, they're doing this, or have done this, in ways that you never thought before. | |
Isn't that something? | |
Doesn't that make you think? | |
Wow! | |
Just think about that. | |
That's all. | |
Just think about the implications. | |
Now, let's talk about this. | |
Let's talk about this other great thing. | |
Well, it's not great. | |
An electromagnetic pulse. | |
Ooh-wee! | |
I don't know about you, but if I said, I'd like to be in charge of that technology, I think that would be wild. | |
That doesn't hurt anybody. | |
Well, I mean, nobody, nobody. | |
I wouldn't want to be involved in any kind of... | |
Hurting anybody? | |
But, you know, sometimes you might want to be able to learn how things are shut down, like in the 18-whatever-this-was, this coronal blast, this Carrington event, where all the telegraphs went out because of the sun, this coronal blast. | |
Electromagnetic pulses are here. | |
And after what we've been through, look, you do the math. | |
I'm not telling you. | |
All I can do is just say, Read the information and read the history and read what very, very smart people are worried about. | |
So if you go to EMP Shield, this is the smartest thing. | |
Go to the website. | |
Just go and just spend five minutes. | |
Read what's there. | |
Watch the videos. | |
See what they do. | |
See how they install this particular device. | |
Made in this country. | |
USA made. | |
To protect your car and your vehicles and your home and your solar panels and your RV and your ham radio. | |
By the way, ham radio is going to be critical during moments of emergency. | |
So EMP Shield, it makes complete and total sense. | |
Okay, you got that? | |
By the way, I've got to mention one thing to you. | |
I've got to mention one more thing. | |
Okay? | |
And you know what I'm talking about. | |
That is very simply this. | |
Because I'm worried about, did you take your Z-Stack today? | |
Did you do it? | |
Have you done this? | |
Think about it. | |
Makes complete and total sense. | |
I mean, I don't know how to tell you this right now, but look at quercetin. | |
Just one of the things in Z-Stacks. | |
This is a group of plant pigments called flavonoids that give fruits and vegetables or flowers and the like. | |
And the antioxidants are beautiful. | |
They scavenge particles in the body known as free radicals. | |
Remember what a free radical is. | |
Remember what it is. | |
It's very simple. | |
It's cleaving an electron and all of a sudden there's this electron that's just sitting there. | |
It's ready. | |
And it's ready to pair up incorrectly. | |
Very unstable. | |
Because you want stasis. | |
Remember? | |
Electron pairs. | |
All of a sudden this one's gone. | |
What happened? | |
It's ready to move in. | |
Antioxidants basically quell that, put that fire out. | |
Free radicals damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and other stuff. | |
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. | |
Now, this makes the most sense. | |
So this is quercetin. | |
This is an antioxidant. | |
This is a bioavailable phytonutrient. | |
This is available in the Z-Stack. | |
It just makes so much sense. | |
Go to my custom URL. | |
Did I put that up there? | |
I don't even think I did that. | |
That'd be nice if I did, wouldn't it? | |
I think it would be. | |
I think it would be great. | |
I think it would, but I'm daft today. | |
I'm very cosmic this morning. | |
Very cosmic, which is a good thing. | |
Anyway, there it is. | |
ZStack. | |
Do it. | |
Just read it. | |
There's so much great stuff that... | |
Do you think that medicine wants you to know this? | |
No! | |
Should I take vitamins? | |
What about my food? | |
I'm looking at my insurance pad here. | |
I don't know about food. | |
I've got to cut something or give you something. | |
in any event. | |
So, Everywhere you go, it is so important for you to figure out what the truth is. | |
And I know you want to do it. | |
And you find this... | |
Let me tell you this. | |
Here's one for you. | |
I have a friend of mine. | |
I'm not going to mention his name. | |
But he loves to believe that certain things, certain famous events, maybe in history, actually didn't happen the way he thinks they happened. | |
Or, conversely, that things did happen That history doesn't know about. | |
So if I went to him and said, listen, you know that thing you've been talking about for the longest time? | |
The thing that all your friends say, oh God, is he talking about? | |
What if I told you I've got definitive proof that what you think to be true isn't true? | |
You want to hear it? | |
I've got people who are so involved in the religion debate. | |
Atheists, agnostics versus people of faith. | |
I have a very simple rule. | |
Give me the truth. | |
I will stand up and say, I was wrong. | |
Thank you for that. | |
Thank you. | |
Other people say, no, no, no, no, I don't want that. | |
No, no, no, I don't want that. | |
I like thinking what I'm doing. | |
Yeah, but what if it's wrong? | |
I don't care whether it's wrong or not. | |
I like thinking like this. | |
Yeah, but what if what you're saying is incorrect? | |
I've got proof of this. | |
Maybe we didn't know this. | |
I mean, there are folks who have talked about, you know, Galinsky and Galertner and others. | |
No, not Galinsky. | |
Galertner, for sure, who said, you know, we've got a bit of a problem with some of this Darwinian stuff. | |
What? | |
This is like sacrilege. | |
You can't do that. | |
Don't you ever say anything about this. | |
Other people say, but don't you want the truth? | |
What about the Cambrian era? | |
This epoch? | |
Some people are saying, you know, Darwinian mechanics, Darwinian solutions make a lot of sense, but sometimes they kind of make this stuff up like punctuated equilibrium, and they just assume, because the cool scientists say, well, that's the story. | |
Yeah, but a Cambrian era, there was this explosion of stuff, and it doesn't make any sense. | |
It made me, I'm all ears, tell me about it. | |
Other people say, no, no, no, no, no, no. | |
Why? | |
Because that might be, maybe there's something, you know, intelligent design. | |
So be it. | |
I want the truth. | |
Oh, no, no, no. | |
Not me. | |
Never be like that. | |
I want to know the truth. | |
And I want to never be in the position of always being the skeptic, where I just dismiss everything. | |
No, that can't be. | |
No, that's not right. | |
When everybody says something, pay attention to it. | |
When people since the beginning of time have said one particular theme, one thematic, not certainty, but one thematic constant, listen carefully to that. | |
Listen to what they're saying. | |
Don't ever just kind of say, well, that's just, you know. | |
No. | |
Now let me tell you something. | |
Be very careful of the oversimplification. | |
I'm not going to mention names. | |
Somebody writes, free radicals age you. | |
No. | |
You are aged from the moment you were born. | |
What does that mean, age? | |
What does that mean? | |
Free radicals age you? | |
Right now, I just aged. | |
Not just a passage of time, but there is a maturation process. | |
Free radicals aging from infancy to adolescence? | |
Adolescines in Latin. | |
Yeah, I hope you're aged. | |
I hope it's called maturation and progress. | |
What if you didn't? | |
It's like the opposite of progeria or praecox or praecox. | |
You want to be aged. | |
See, when you say things like, oh, it ages you. | |
No, no, no, that's too simple. | |
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. | |
Fats are good for you. | |
No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait. | |
Be careful with that. | |
Too simple. | |
Too simple. | |
No, no, no. | |
No, no, no, no, no. | |
People love this simple, because you don't have a lot of time, because you're not allowed a lot of time to write, people write things that don't matter. | |
Placebo effect. | |
What does the placebo effect mean? | |
Does that make any sense? | |
Sometimes. | |
But remember, the placebo effect is in the eye of either the beholder, the applicant, the administrator, or the individual who's trying to receive something. | |
That's all. | |
And I don't want to go into what the placebo effect is, but it's seen elsewhere. | |
It's not just what you think it is. | |
Remember, if you can put anything in one sentence, you're missing the point. | |
Life is far too complicated to be put into one question. | |
Okay, I don't want to talk about minerals in the soil. | |
Okay, okay, okay. | |
Again, simple, simple. | |
Simple. | |
Too simple. | |
I'm very, very careful about simple things. | |
Very, very, very, very simple. | |
I just don't want to get into it. | |
I want more questions. | |
I'm going to leave it at that. | |
And my friends, today what I want you to do is I want to make sure that you go out and you spend some time, at least, whatever it is, please enjoying music. | |
Enjoy music. | |
Spend your time more listening to music. | |
Just don't worry about all your other stuff. | |
Don't worry about placebo effects and the Darwinian. | |
Just listen to music. | |
Listen to what you are saying. | |
You are missing something. | |
It feeds your soul. | |
You must do this. | |
Okay? | |
You must, must, must satiate, in essence, Nourish your soul. | |
And there's also something, it might not, it probably is more than just music, but if it's artistic or do something that does something, whether it's cooking or planting or gardening or running or doing, do something where the activity is the source of nourishment. | |
What it is makes you happy. | |
That's all. | |
And ask questions. | |
Ask questions. | |
Okay? | |
That's all. | |
All right, my dear friends, have a great and glorious day. | |
See you tomorrow, same bad time, same bad channel, 9 a.m. Eastern Time. | |
Until then, remember these words. | |
The monkey's dead. | |
The show's over. | |
Sue ya. |
