Hello, everyone.

We start with something that is good for you, hopefully.

It's good for me.

So support for the Down Lemon Show comes from Z biotics. Let me tell you, this one's a game changer. I use it before a night out with friends or with dinner, at dinner with Tim. It is called pre-alcohol and is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol turns into a toxic byproduct in your gut. I told you that, right? It's that buildup. It's not dehydration. That's what causes those rough mornings. So Zbiotics creates an enzyme that breaks that down so you feel sharp the next day. I first tried it before a night out. I told you. And I was great the next morning. No fog, no fatigue, just me, ready to do the show.

So fall is here, which means game days, tailgates. So make Zbiotics your first drink of the night and celebrate responsibly. Remember, the holidays are coming up, so I think you're going to need it. A lot of celebrating. Head over to Zbiotics.com slash lemon and use the code lemon for 15% off of your first order. It is backed by a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked.

know, maybe not. Because I'm quite frankly tired of, you know, playing small ball and tired of

the people who are really on the side of democracy losing. Now let me tell you a story about I wish I had it,

the thing here. Hey, Tim, can you do me a favor? Can you bring me that book, please, in the bag,

please. I'm sorry to ask you this while we're on. It's right on the desk right there. So I

interviewed a friend, a very dear friend today. I don't know if you guys,

let me know if you've ever heard of Darren Walker. Darren Walker is the head of the Ford Foundation.

He's stepping down. And he has a book out and it's called The Idea of America, okay?

Reflections on inequality, democracy, and the values we share. And so forward is by President

Bill Clinton. Michael Bloomberg also

wrote something in here, Ava DuVernay and Henry Louis Gates on the jacket, okay? And so, I mean,

this is, he's a very serious guy, and this is a serious, important book. So what I will say is
