I'm Clyde Lewis, and this is Ground Zero.

The numbers to call the night.

Triple-eight, 673, 3,700.

That's AAA, 673, 3,700. That's AAA 673, 3,700.

I have a feeling that I might be a controversial show of sorts because I'm going to,

I haven't done this in a while.

I've speculated on a lot of things.

I've theorized on a lot of things. I've theorized on a lot of things.

I've connected dots, put things together.

Tonight, I'm going to lay some stuff down,

and I hope you understand where I'm coming from when I talk about this,

because I think it's important that needs to be said.

Because I, for the first time, I woke up this morning and I had some things I had to do.

And, you know, there's some joy that comes in my life in the morning sometimes when Janine leaves me little notes.

And when, you know, I feel like that I'm bouncing into walls or bumping into walls because I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't know what I'm going to talk about. And I was up late last night, couldn't sleep. My brain was on. You ever had that one of those nights where your brain is on and you're seeing things and you're connecting dots and you're putting things together and you're saying to yourself, oh, I don't know if this is just too much even for me. And this is over the top and it's kind of weird. And it's like, you know, you think to yourself, you know, who can you share it with but with your friends and you can't share it with those people because they'll look at you and they'll go, you're out of your mind, everything's meaningless and you're just saying, well, you must have been really tired or You must have been really out of your mind last night. And I'm saying, okay, maybe, maybe not.

I mean, I read a lot of blogs. I read a lot of things on the Internet. I read a lot of comments sections. I read a lot of comments. And I just take it all in. It's like it's like taking in all the commentary that's out there in the zeitgeist, out there, the critical mass.

And I've noticed a trend that probably most people won't see, because I do see these things.

I see patterns.

I see trends.

It's kind of this thing that I have, and I know what's wrong with me.
