All right, societal collapse may be upon us, but here we are.

This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. If this is your first time to this show, welcome to you. Everyone else,

what's up? Let's all take a moment to have a breath. I don't know if you're listening to this

when it is first being published or if you're listening to it at some point in the future.

I saw the news.

It's that I'm not just going to sit there and take it in and take in the coverage,

the 24-7 newsreel coverage, drip, drip.
