Let's start with something that I think is going to be very helpful to you this fall season. So support for the show comes from ZBiotics. And if you're like me and you enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail now and then, this is a total game changer. ZBiotics pre-alcohol is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic designed by PhD scientists to tackle those rough mornings after drinking. It is not dehydration that makes you feel awful. It is a toxic byproduct in your body that produces, your body produces, and Z Biotics helps to break that down so that you feel yourself the next day. The first time I tried it, It was before a dinner party with friends. I tell you this story all the time. I had a few drinks, went to bed late, and the next morning I was ready to host a show up and at them.
No problem. Now I never go without it. So fall means football, tailgates, lots of celebration. We're moving into holiday season. So make Z Biotics your first drink of the night. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon for 15% off of your order. And if you're not happy for any reason, they're going to refund you your money. No questions asked. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon. The code is lemon. Good morning, Hot Topics. Couple things. Did the Z Biotics last night. I only had one drink, so I really didn't need to do it, but I did. Have you guys got invited by a friend? Hi, everybody. I'm going to get to the news. But have you heard of Lucas Nelson? Willie Nelson's son. Wow. you guys ever heard of him wow wowie wowie wowie so so so good um and uh it was amazing the guy can sing and he can play the guitar and it was great it was like this thing called solo sessions that's a really great thing they get together and they do this one was for um blind hospital that helps blind children kids who are born blind and um
It's a charity thing, and people come, and they raise money, and then you donate, and they had someone who was a blind guitar player and a singer there. It was just amazing. I saw Whoopi last night. I got to see Whoopi and give her a hug. I saw Jeremy Piven last night. I saw some of the actors from The Sopranos were there last night. It was just a great evening. So anyways, that was my evening. I did my Z Biotics, and I feel great. Lucas is awesome, right? Millie White, Millie Height on TikTok. And by the way, welcome back, TikTok. It's so weird. Our live got suspended for a couple of days for something about body shaming or something. What? We didn't even do that. But I mean, what are you going to do? What do you do?
I mean, these people were at the whim of the social media people. And so I'm glad that you're back, TikTok. And if you're happy to be back, smash the screen. And we're live. I can say we're live on all platforms now, including our new platform, which is Twitch, twitch.tv slash Don Lemon, twitch.tv slash Don Lemon. Okay.
