0:11 All right. Episode 40 or 41. Episode 41, let’s call it that. That’s what it’s going to be. And already, it’s somewhere in the 40s. Maybe another one will come out before this one gets published. And that one would take its place. But this is probably 41. So welcome to it. And thank you for listening. As always, if you do like it, please leave a comment on like iTunes or Amazon podcast, wherever you’re listening, pleasure is. Leave a like, leave a comment, leave a recommendation. I used to say this more. If you don’t like it, you know, if you’re going to turn it off right now, leave that in a comment, say, this is a pointless podcast, but it’s not. It is not. It’s somebody getting things off their chest sometimes. And talking about the state of the world, the state of The World in the mindfulness revolution. When we go inside, we can really face that the state of The World is really reflective of the state of our world. And what I want to say to you tonight or today - if you’re listening to this in the day, of course - is that this is not our fault. I feel like everybody is really stressed out right now. I don’t like to label the episodes like with a specific event, because then when the event is done, who’s going to listen to that episode, then it will be all for just that one day and only like seven people listen to it. Like saying, like a special Thanksgiving episode of, you know, the NPR frickin, whatever podcast. You never got to listen to that unless it’s on Thanksgiving, Ramadan, or whatever the holiday you celebrate is or some other, Kwanzaa, festivus, any other holidays you celebrate, you only want to listen to that topical thing on that day, right? 2:17 But I’m going to break all my boundaries and all my comforts and say this is a special United States Election Day for president and we are coming to you live from right next to my little fish tank, in Reiko County, Virginia, where I did vote today, and a lot of people voted, not as bad of a line as I thought it was going to be. I tried to vote early a couple times last week. And every time I went by the courthouses where they were doing it super long lines. So the early voting, early polling was, in my experience more crowded than like the normal day, today.  Page 2 of 8 3:07 I just got this tail algae eater. He is awesome. He’s just wiggling around like crazy. I just got done filming a video of the fish tank for the first time. I’ve never done that before. But there is a beta fish and beta Fisher aka like the Siamese fighting fish, according to Alexa. A lot of people say Chinese fighting fish, Japanese fighting fish. But according to Alexa, Siamese fighting fish. And they’re not supposed to really cohabitate that well with other fish, but he seems to get along great with this tiny little algae eater. I wonder what I’m going to do with that little video I took. 3:45 But yes, Election Day. And I want to say, this is not our fault. Let me get back on track with that. This is not our fault. Nothing is this... And I don’t think who is going to be elected president tonight is, really, if you really boil down your emotions, me, you anybody, it really comes down to like this, right and wrong. It comes down to, or what we think is right. And we’ve charged up the wrong part with our emotions so much that it is going to frickin sting. And you’re going to get angry if your guy doesn’t win tonight. And my god doesn’t win tonight. I mean, there’s going to be just like before the elections, anger on both sides. And I want to just kind of release us. Take a big deep breath out and say, the phenomenon of more than even just social media and smartphones and stuff like that. It’s the 24 hour news phenomenon. It was such a new technology, pretty recently, in the grand scheme of things, that this came on quick, and we can’t be blamed for not knowing what the hell we’re doing and forgetting to be, you know, really decent people through and through, throughout our whole entire day, our whole entire lives, and becoming really responsible and mature about some of the way things are right now. Because this all in the grand scheme of things did come on
