The thing is not how you are on your best day is how can you step up on your worst day.

When everything is going terrible, when you're tired, when you're frustrated, when you are edgy,

how do you treat other people?

Fuck pain.

Fuck heartbreak.

I'm still in love with life.

Thank you. Fuck heartbreak. I'm still in love with life. From the multicultural headquarters of the future capital of the free-thinking states of America known as Los Angeles, this is the Drunken Dow's podcast.

On this episode, 2026 has arrived and we are in uncharted territory. Bread and circuses are being replaced by AI and robotics. Shit's bad,

always will be, but you are awake and on your feet, so you can't ask for much more. While swimming

in lives and bullshit, remember the wisdom of the mandala. Enjoy things now. Hugs are the best medicine,

memories of Elizabeth. And remember, the game has always been about joy in the midst of all sorts of craziness around you.

So let's keep going.

And now, asking you all to spread the words that corporations are not persons, I'm Rich Evers.

And my partner in crime, the savage philosopher and middle finger of the gods,

Danieli Bollelli, as we invite you to lower the lights, batten down the hatches, and prepare

to open your mind. For the Drunken Dallas podcast begins now. Welcome back everybody,

another fine episode of the Drunken Dallas podcast, episode 284. It's mid-January as we report this. We recorded this about two weeks ago. And we'll be back pretty quickly. I think about a week from now, we're going to get caught up of all the sort of insanity it's going on in the moment. This is a prequel to the insanity, and there was insanity going on back then. It's the prequel, the during the sequel.

This is the gentle warm-up we were still in, but still pretty wacky.

So hang in there, everybody.

Let's take care of each other and make sure we don't let the bastards win.

I like that.

I like that indeed.
