The Michael Berry Show.

Remember me to one who lives there, or she once was a true love of mine.

See for me that her hair's hanging down, it curls and falls.

I want to ask you to do yourself a favor right now and rock somebody's world.

You know, in conversation with people, I find that we devote a lot of energy to consuming content.

And we devote a lot of energy to the internal conversation within our own head of where we stand on issues and who we're going to support and who we're against and how much we're against them.

Important, no doubt, important, should be done and sadly a lot of people don't do it.

But we are getting diminishing returns at some point because we are consuming what would appear to be the same swirl of information from the same echo chamber day in and day out, which leads to a sense of frustration that nothing's being done.

But part of that becomes if it's what I talk about 16 hours a day, all day, every day, and all I ever think about, then even one day of talking about it is interminable because it's all I'm talking about.

You have to have some level of balance to make it.

Soldiers in war don't fight the war in the minute the battle is over, repair to their tents and talk about the war.

They make music.

They write letters home. They compose poetry.

They look at a picture of their girl and pine for her in the town they lived in.

They send a letter to their mom and tell her how much they loved her.

They might play cards and drink some whiskey. It's not because the battle's not real and people aren't dying. It must be one or we will lose.

No, it's because of the understanding that that is so all-consuming that it has to be turned off and recharged and you have to have a diversion from that engagement and a lot of our, you know why you don't have a diversion?

Because the radio and the website and the TV station can't afford for you to have a diversion.

They need to keep you plugged in the whole time.

They need to keep you so plugged in that you're worn down.

This trickle battery is catching on fire and not good, it's overheating, burning everything down.

So what do you do?
