Welcome to the show, everyone. Support comes from ZBiotics today for the show. I want to tell you about something that I actually use anytime I'm going out for a night with drinks. It is called ZBiotics free alcohol, and it is a game changer. It is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic created by PhD scientists to help you avoid those rough mornings after drinking. Here's the very simple version of how it works. When you drink, alcohol turns into this toxic byproduct right in your gut. You've heard me talk about it. it's that buildup. It's not dehydration that makes you feel awful the next day. So Z biotics pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that helps break that down. You just drink it before your first drink of the night.
So I tried it before a night out, uh, took my first drink. Well, I made it my first drink and then I drank responsibly. And the next morning, uh, I felt clear, functional, not dragging through the day. So whether it is holiday parties, it's a game changer, or it is. Whether it's dinner out with friends, whatever it might be, make free alcohol part of the plan. Go to zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code lemon for 15% off of your first order. They also offer a 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked. So again, that's zbiotics.com slash lemon. Use the code lemon. Good morning, Lemonheads and beyond. Lemon Nation, how are you guys doing this morning? Thank you for joining us. Boy, oh boy, oh boy. Man, we had a time last night.
We had a time last night. So thank you for joining us this morning. The thumbs up, the like, same drill, same routine. Tell me, you guys already know this morning. In the morning is what I'm going to tell you. And you guys know that I'm very happy that you're here and that you're helping to build this community. And it's just, it's all fantastic. But we had a great time last night. If you were there last night, shout out to the folks. There are some couple of pictures. Let's put up a couple of pictures because I don't have any in from the official photographer yet. I'm not sure, Andy, if you have them. But we were in Philadelphia last night. It was cold, but it was warm in the room. That's our merch. That's the merch.
But that's me on stage. Doing my little beginning of the show greeting and newscast at City Winery in Philadelphia. DL and DL. Anything goes. And then I sat and talked. This is my friend. If you are a radio connoisseur and you've been around for a while, that is a legendary Patty Jackson. from WDAS Radio in Philadelphia. She was one of our special guests last night, and she gave some great words, talked about what's happening in Philadelphia, the politics, the local stuff. Anyway, Penny's been there, I think, for like 40 years on the radio in Philly, if not longer. She's been there forever. And she is a local legend and is beloved and has one of the most beautiful, smoothest voices that I've heard. And I think that's it.
And then we'll get more pictures for you. But DL Hughley was amazing. You can see DL's leg right there at the bottom right of the screen. Yeah, there it is. He had on this plaid suit and he said he had to go. before midnight to return his suit back to Santa Claus. But it was a really beautiful show. Packed room. Everybody just sort of simpatico. Oh, I brought out the dogs. There's Barkley and Boomer. The dogs came out and made an appearance. People were loving them. But time was had last night. DL was hilarious. DL, last night, DL, wow. DL, the language was amazing. A lot of, you know what, a lot of N-bombs flying around. I was like, oh, wow. This is, there we go. Oh, and some of the divas that were there, the beautiful people.
This is a meet and greet afterwards. I'm getting my tea right here. That's the meet and greet afterwards. So it's great. Look at DL soup. Amazing. Uh, and me, look how I'm getting so chunky. I got to stop eating for the holidays, but anyways, so thank you, Philadelphia. There are any more pictures. That's it. Pretty much.
I'm still getting a few in.
We have some videos eventually. Oh, wow. Lots of stuff.
