Hello, my friends, and welcome to the Robcast.

This is episode 258, and it's called

What the President is Doing.

Because you didn't think I wasn't going to talk about this, right?

We weren't going to let this go by.

All that swirling around us.

We need to talk about what the President is doing.

Because it's really, really serious.

Before we do that, speaking of really serious, I'm doing a tour this year.

It's called the Introduction to Joy Tour.

It's about joy, but it's really about death, suffering, darkness,

and the temporal fleeting nature of life, and how we're all going to die maybe soon.

And that in the ancient wisdom tradition, to get to joy,

you don't avoid the angst and darkness and unpredictability of life,

the heartache and pain.

You go into the heart of it, and you come out the other side and you find joy.

So that's what this tour is really about.

Because that's how that's what joy is really about.

So there's only a few cities left.

Tickets are still up.

Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Santa Cruz, Sacramento,

and then the tour ends early December here in Los Angeles at the Lodge Room.
