What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Okay, everyone, let's get started. Support comes from ZBiotics. Now, let me tell you about something that I actually use before night out. It is called ZBiotics Pre-Alcohol, the world's first genetically engineered probiotic, invented by PhD scientists, and it helps you avoid those rough mornings after drinking. So here's the simple version. When you drink, alcohol turns into a toxic byproduct, right in your gut. It's that buildup. It's not dehydration. That's what makes you feel awful the next day. Z-Biotics pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that breaks that byproduct down before it ruins your morning. Now, I started using it before dinner events or a night out with friends. I drink it before my first cocktail, and the difference the next morning, real.
I feel clearer, more like myself, not bragging through the day. Just make it your first drink of the night, by the way, and then drink responsibly, and you're going to feel your best tomorrow. So go to zbiotics.com. slash lemon and get 15% off of your first order when you use the code lemon at checkout. They also have a 100% money back guarantee. No questions asked. That's zbiotics.com slash lemon. The code word is guess what? Lemon. The code word is lemon. The code word is lemon. Hey, welcome to the program, everyone. Good evening. This is Lemon Live at 5. Are you ready for a good show? It is Epstein Eve. Now, what do you guys think is going to happen? You're going to come up with something at the very last minute and you're not going to get it.
Um, look, I don't know. I don't know. I think this is going to be some shenanigans. I'm not sure we'll get all of it, but, uh, the house is bracing for it. Democrats in the house bracing for that. The other thing is, did you see, we're going to talk a bit more. We discussed this morning, but that unhinged desperate national address last night from Donald Trump. And then Like it or not, and I don't mean to depress you, but your healthcare premium is going to go up. You're going to welcome in the new year in 2026. Welcome 2026 in with higher healthcare premiums. Now some good news for you. The good news is that the legends are here. Hi, legends. Glad that you are here. We're going to get to the legends in a moment, and we have a special guest.
The legends are going to get to ask questions for a bit. And so welcome, everybody. This is the Lemon Legend Show, Lemon Live at 5. Thank you so much. Make sure... One piece of business I need you to do, all of you, including the legends, hit the thumbs up. Make sure you hit that like because it does affect the algorithm. More people become aware of our conversation. I see, look it, May Money is hitting that thumbs up right now on her phone. So good evening, everybody. Welcome to... Lemon Live at 5 again. Look, I want to start tonight by saying this plainly, that if you are feeling unsettled and anxious right now, if you're distracted by something, if you're just off today, you are not imagining it. We are all feeling it.
There is a weird tension in the air right now. You can feel it. People were talking about it all day. They were texting about it. They were whispering about it. I went to get a haircut today. My barber is like, oh, my gosh, did you see what the hell was that? Did you see what happened last night? Or did you hear what's supposed to come out tomorrow? I'm talking about that and then Epstein. And they said, wow, what a crazy way to try to distract from the Epstein files coming out or not coming out tomorrow. Because, look, tonight feels like one of those moments where everything is sitting on the edge of the table. And you're like, oh, don't fall off. Do not tip it. I hope there's not a rumble or somebody walks by and the floor doesn't shake because then everything falls off.
We're on the eve of the Epstein files being released. And supposedly, allegedly, finally, look, I'm not here to hype it up like it's some big Netflix drop. Look, I think it's more important than that, actually. So I shouldn't say a Netflix drop. I think this is a pretty big deal.
