Welcome to the program, everyone. We start with something that will be helpful to you, I believe. Support for the show comes from ZBiotics. Now, let me be honest. When I go out with friends or even when I'm just having a quiet dinner and a glass of wine, I want to enjoy myself without waking up feeling like I made a bad life choice. That's why I use ZBiotics pre-alcohol. This little bottle, it's real science behind it. The world's first genetically engineered probiotic created by actual PhD scientists to help you feel best. The next morning, feel your best the next morning. Here's what happens. When you drink, your body creates a toxic byproduct right in your gut. That's what makes you feel rough the next day.
Z-biotics helps break that down, but you have to take it before your first drink and then you drink responsibly. I first tried it for dinner party, I tell you. And then, you know, the next day I felt great. sharp rested ready to go to work no fog at all so make the most of every toast and every holiday party go to zbiotics.com slash lemon for 15 off of your first order use the code lemon at checkout it is backed by 100 money back guarantee zbiotics.com slash lemon let's get started let's get started everyone make the most of every toast i didn't even realize i was rhyming there is that something new do people say that maybe they do maybe they do did i come up with that hello everyone how are you
Good morning. Good morning, Lemonheads. Big stretch. So it's so funny. One of the things I was late, I kept trying to find this sweatshirt and it was actually sitting right in the studio right here. It's looking all over my room. I was like, did I pack it? What happened? Where's my sweatshirt? But isn't this, this is a great sweatshirt, isn't it? Don Lemon Live. I mean, Lemon Live, of course, with Don Lemon. Great. Let me know where you're streaming from. Thank you for joining. It's freezing cold in Michigan. It's cold in here. I have the window cracked. I don't know if you can see it right there. I have the window cracked. Because it gets really hot in here. And then when it gets really hot, the camera does some weird stuff and it'll go out and you'll see color bars and you're like, where's Don?
So I have to do that. Oh, I love that three cush 32 of all. Can you put that back up? I love the hat that you had up there. I thought about wearing this. I have a blue one. Then I said it was a little too much. I was going to wear the blue and there's a lot of lemon on there. So I didn't do it. But it is chilly in here, and I got my blanket. I got my heat holder's blanket right here. So welcome, everybody. I hope you're having a great morning. Seriously, no matter how bad, let me talk. Let's talk for a second. I'm going to be late. We have guests. Recy and Clay are going to join us. They're going to be like, Don, stop talking. Look, my friend, I don't know if you guys know Bevy Smith. And I was watching, I was texting her last night, and I was watching some of her stuff online.
you know, before you go to bed, you're like going through. And Bevy had this thing on and she said, you know, today may not have been like the best day or you may not have gotten everything you wanted accomplished or whatever it is. But then there's tomorrow. Tomorrow's like, and then you can start from there and you just keep starting from there. Look, I've had to start from There are here many times in my life. So transitions for me are nothing new. And so sometimes you are going to have to do the same thing. But you just wake up the next day and then the next day and then the next day and then think about all the things that happened years ago or days ago or months ago or decades ago, whatever. And you got past all of it.
Right. You got past all of it and you are still alive and you never know what the Lord's going to bring you and the day is going to bring you and the universe is going to bring you. So today, something good is going to happen, I believe, for all of you. So I want you to go about your day having that attitude.
