You're listening to PBN. Your path back to stability. សូវាប់ពីបានប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្រាប់ពីប្� I'm live. And it's a surprise. This was supposed to be pre-recorded. This is Holizna Skyscrapers. Alright. Baby bok choy. Three sizes.

Chinatown. My eyes on vegetables. Her eyes on mine. Maybe that's the kind of guy I am. Wind whistles through the skyscrapers. Chinatown, Philadelphia. Her first time. My first time with her.

Heading southwest, hand in hand, chilly night. How could we have ever known that we were two pit bulls in the making? That we were one marriage in the making? That we were two children in the making? That we were one committed life in the making. That we were one committed. Life. In the making.

That's romantic love. That's romantic love. Looks like there's some turbulence up ahead. It's a good thing you found us. We are the Prepper Broadcasting Network. Your path, act as stability. your path back to stability you're in fort pbn it is valentine's day on wednesday the i am liberty show and this title if the uh the freestyle intro didn't give it away is a farce okay the title is an attempt to lure particularly you in that do believe that it's a conspiracy it's a hallmark trap valentine's day i'm a sucker for Valentine's, okay? I am.

I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day. And given the situation between men and women, given the conditions of relationships and marriages, I am not content with the concept that this one day a year when we are to focus on romantic love, because that's what Valentine's Day is about, by the way. It's not about buying gifts for your kids like it's Easter or Christmas or something. Valentine's is a day of the year to focus on what is one of the most lacking and ill-represented things in our society today, which is romantic love. We use the word love.

Anybody who's here for tactical tips, preparedness, this and that, anything along those lines, I'll see you tomorrow. This is not going to be that kind of show I mean We may drift into that We will drift into concepts Around societal divisions But we are going to have a discussion on Romantic love from a variety of

Points and purposes We are going to read Shakespeare Okay We are going to read Ross. We are going to read Shakespeare. Okay. We are going to read Rossetti. We are going to read Romeo and Juliet. So if you're ready to gag and that's not your thing, hey, you're allowed to do whatever you want, baby, for now. Okay. But you have to understand, Do whatever you want, baby. For now.

Okay? But you have to understand. Okay? I am... I'm given to this stuff. I don't know why. I don't know. You know, it's probably because of the way I was brought up watching a lot of films. Maybe not.

Maybe not. I'm a Pisces. That probably has something to do with it. I fell in love with poets early. Another thing to do with it. You forget when you fall in love with poets, you know? When you're a writer and you spend your days writing, you forget about the days when you fell in love with writers

and writing as a concept. One of these days I'm going to publish a book for you called Why Am I So Happy? Not in the context of let me explain to you how to be happy, but literally an examination of a guy like me who, I don't know what you know about me personally. Even people who know me very well don't know much about me personally in terms of day-to-day life, how I live, where I live, those kinds of things.

It's a modest life for a guy like me. And one day I was just gripped with that idea, you know, and in sitting down and thinking about why it is I'm so happy, I stumbled upon a lot of things, man. I stumbled upon a lot of things and found that many things in that bucket of happiness are missing and lacking in today's society. You know, there are happy skills. There are actually happy—there are actually skills that you can possess in your life, and many of you probably do, that generate happiness. I mean, it just, you know, is what it is. Most of them are creative skills and talents. But it's Valentine's Day. It's a night to discuss romantic love.

It's a night to discuss how it sits and it affects in a society. I think about the chaos in the streets. I think about what we're witnessing in America, the things that we see that we don't like. The Kansas City Chiefs had a parade today, and some guys opened fire. Some black men opened fire on the crowd. I don't know what that means.

I'm just giving you a description. See, you're already upset. You're nervous. Why do you say that B word? I'm just describing to you what I found through Twitter. You can't find it. They say two men, right? Because they're not allowed to talk about perpetrators unless they look like me. Two men opened fire, killing one, wounding nine. We don't know the motivation yet. They were all dressed up in Kansas City gear, though, based off of the intelligence I gathered from the citizen

journalists of Twitter. Yeah, I wallowed in the hells of Twitter for you. Yep. In order for me to find those pictures of those strapping lads, the future of America, I had to wade through 13, 14 posts of people saying it's all the Republicans' fault. This is the fault of the Republicans, the evil Republicans. Vote out all the Republicans. It's amazing where people's minds go anymore. So what's the antithesis of the chaos? What's the opposite of the chaos? Really?

I was watching Autumn in New York before I got the show. I love that movie Love it Love it Love Winona Ryder Love Richard Gere Love the concept It's a little creepy

He's a little old She's a little too young It's a little Romeo and Juliet In and of itself to be honest But I was watching And I was looking at New York You know one of the great things About that flick is the saxophone atmosphere

that sits aloft the skyscrapers and the horizon lines and the images of New York City, and you look at New York City, and for a guy like me who reads about New York City on a daily basis, when I say New York City in my head and when I read New York City day to day, I think destruction, violence, overcrowding, misery, protests, right? These kinds of things. And you can get trapped in your own bubble. You know what I mean? It's very easy for me.

Get trapped in your own bubble. You watch a movie like that, you see it's from the 90s you see no it's from the 2000s early oh no it has to be from the late 90s because you see the sun setting on manhattan you see the twin towers on the right you see the this if you've ever been, there's something breathtaking about being in a city at sunset when the lights all light up. And they're like jewels. You know what I mean? The reds and the whites all light up the cityscape. And you watch that.

When I watch that in that movie, I'm reminded of the fact that these cities are amazing and tremendous and filled with amazing people. And the further away we get from cities, the less time we go into cities and spend in major cities because we're scared, the further we get away from that beauty. And that's bad. It's bad. It's bad, because I spent a good chunk of my life heading into Philadelphia, and when I say the word Philly, people give me a look, you know what I mean? It's a scared look. That's what it is. It's a look of like, oh, a lot of people die there. Yeah, but a lot of people live there, too. That's pretty good. A lot of people die there, but a lot of people lived there too.

I've had some amazing times there, man, all through my life. And it's important. You know, we can't fall for the line because, look, I'm just going to say it. We can't fall for the line that we should hide from everything. You know, you can't avoid the crowds. I don't know. What are you out for? Are you out for a life with zero risk?

Are you out for a life with zero pursuit? What is it? What's the antithesis of the chaos? And watching that movie, it became very clear to me that when you look at the chaos, what's on the opposite side? Stability, right?

What's the point of stability? What's the point? Profits? No. Yeah, for some, but not for most. The point of stability is what? To be able to walk Central Park hand in hand with who? Your mother?

Your sister? No, the opposite of chaos is romantic love, I think. I think that's exactly what it is. You build that stability into a society so that you can build a relationship. And, you know, when you look at the situation that the youth in the country are in, it's really easy to make this assumption. It's really easy to see men and women fighting each other rather than loving each other and the deep levels of depression they're in. Forget, we're not talking transgender.

We're not talking gay. There's no gay. This is a gay, no gays allowed show. No transgenders allowed show, okay? Oh my God. He's not being inclusive. I don't give a shit about that. OK. I'm talking about man love woman. That's it. Real man. Real man. That's all I need to say. I was going to be funny, but real man, real woman in love. If you have other things going on, if you have other

other use your fucking imagination. Okay? That's all. It's not that hard. You hear a topic that you don't like, you turn it off. You hear a topic that you'd like to hear more of, but it's not exactly and it's not completely inclusive to what I believe. Use your imagination. What I'm interested in is man love woman. Woman love man.

Masculine meet feminine feminine the recipe for humanity oh that's good i don't know what it is today the coffee what was it the eggs i don't know what it was something you know what it is it's the proximity to the poetry I think that's what it is. The best top, what is it? The Victorian poetry, ten major poets. Shakespeare, Khalil Gibran, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. They're all right close to me and they're emanating. Like this power is coming

off of them. Could be I'm feeling better too. I've been a little under the weather. Not sure. The antithesis of chaos is romantic love. Have you taught your children about romantic love? It's very hard. You've got to understand.

A lot of cases and a lot of times, kids have almost no fathom of what romantic love even is about. Particularly know, particularly if you and your spouse are kind of like distant, if you're not the type of people that grab hold of each other and kiss, dance, whatever, where do kids nowadays... You know, when I was growing up, and you know how it is, movies were simple. They explained everything. They were written almost to sort of guide you in life in many ways. You know, it was like, be a hero, slay the dragon, get the princess.

Be a cowboy, kill the Indian, get the pretty cowgirl. Right? It was pretty straightforward, all the way up to Terminator Be a future traveling resistance fighter Do your best to kill the Murderous robot Get Sarah Connor And then get killed off Trying to protect her

But still, concept is all the same You know, no feminists ever bring up Sarah Connor. It's so funny, too. I married Sarah Connor, by the way. That's my wife. But they never talk about Sigourney Weaver. They never talk about Heather Hamilton. They don't talk about these people.

You know what I mean? Why don't women have strong roles in movies? Well, Lady fought Terminators for what? Two, three movies in a row killed them? What's better than that? Anyway, aside from that, the concept of romantic love is a hard one to dig into this day and age. It's a hard one to really settle into.

It's a hard one to dig into this day and age. It's a hard one to really settle into. It's a hard one to convey. In the age of Tinder and Netflix, we've sort of lost grip with courtship. Because why? Right? Why? We've lost touch with the concept of delayed gratification. All the fun that goes into, you know, dating, dating, getting to know someone, maybe even the friendship prior to the date.

You know, sometimes when a man really likes a girl, it takes tremendous time and effort. Tremendous. It takes tremendous time and effort. Tremendous. Tremendous time and effort can be sunk into winning a woman. Why? And nowadays it seems that men hardly see women as something worth winning.

In a certain age bracket, you know, I see a lot of people talking about how wonderful it is to be single at 50. I don't know. I don't believe men should be single personally. Do you know what I mean? I mean, I've met a lot of guys who spend a lot of time single. I'm always kind of, you know, whatever.

I don't know. You seem like you need a lady in your life. If I profane with my unworthiest hand, this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. Anybody know? Anybody know? You should know if I profane with my unworthiest hand. Maybe you should, maybe you shouldn't. I don't know. It's the Capulet Ball. It's the party.

Romeo's there. Oh my God, who is this beauty? Who is she across the room? I cannot believe it. What does he say? Forswear its sight. I have never seen true beauty until this night. That's what he said when he meets Juliet, right? Caesar from across the way at the party snuck in with the mask on. It's Halloween party, right? So he can hide out in the Capulet world, right? And they know who he is, right? They see Romeo. They know who he is. He's on the other side. He's a Republican. So they got to be careful, right? And when they first meet, this is what he says.

This is what he says, his first words to her, if I profane with my unworthiest hand, right? If I defile, whatever, with my unworthiest hand, this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. And then he takes her hand, right? Why? Why? What's going on in that? There's something tremendous going on in that. And it's the way that a man is supposed to feel towards a lady, right? It's the concept of like this feminine standing before me is something to be admired. And I am hardly worthy of her attention. Therefore, I will work to earn her attention. Right?

A woman all my life and for many years before that was a thing to be earned. Right? And that's what it took. That's what it took. It took effort. took that's what it took it took effort it wasn't uh swipe left swipe right meet me at my place uh we'll smoke some pot and have a good time oh i'm pregnant now we're married now we're divorced whatever happened no it was if i profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this.

And then he asked for a kiss. And I won't go into how he asked for a kiss, but I wanted you to hear that one line to understand and maybe even be reminded sort of the way a man's mind used to work at the approach of a woman, right? It was, and it still is for a lot of guys. It is that deep fear of rejection and the understanding that there's no real reason that this woman should want anything to do with me and me merely attaching to her could

damage all that she has done, right? Damage all that she has done, right? So the Montague catches wind Of the beautiful Capulet daughter From across the room And he's masked up so nobody knows, right? And they run around and they do their thing And they talk about pilgrims And they talk about lips

And they talk about kissing Until they do the business of kissing And then, you know, Romeo finds out Good God Almighty and they talk about kissing until they do the business of kissing. And then, you know, Romeo finds out. Good God almighty, this woman is my enemy. Oh, dear account, my life is my foe's debt. And even before that, you know, Tybalt, the sort of the Capulet hothead, catches wind of Romeo.

He's ready to kill him. But the decapulate father says, chill out, dude. He's just here to drink and have a good time. Now, little did he know he was going to come face to face with one Juliet and fall head over heels in love. Right? Beauty too rich for use for earth too dear. So shows a snowy dove mingling with crows, trooping with crows.

Did my heart love till now? What a freaking line. William? Did my heart love till now? Now, of course, Romeo was as much a dog as anybody else. He was in a relationship. Well, I don't know if he was in a relationship, but he was, you know, going around with one Rosaline at the time. And, you know, so much for her after he met Juliet.

Look, people will sleep on Romeo and Juliet, I know, because it is what it is. But it's fundamentally the way the world is still today. Think about it. Think about it. What are you talking about? Think about it What are you talking about? We're dealing with the exact same problem That those two star-crossed lovers dealt with Back then

It's the exact same problem that's happening in the country right now Oh, it 100% is Only it's no longer Montague V. Capulet Right? only it's no longer Montague V. Capulet, right? It's I can't bring the Democrat girl home to my Republican parents, right? My Trump-voting parents can never meet my Biden-voting girlfriend, even though we get along on many other planes outside of politics. We must hide this aside of ourselves. We must hide this love, right?

If a rose by any other name, if a rose was called by any other name, would it not smell the same? If a Democrat was called by any other name, would it not vote the same? The political divide between college-educated women and non-college-educated men. This is the Capulet-Montague data, okay? 40%, no, 42% of non-college-educated men believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases. 72-ish percent of college-educated women believe that it should be the same,

that believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases. Where are we at here? 45% of non-college-educated men have an unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump. 75% of college-educated women have an unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump. 75% of college-educated women have an unfavorable opinion of college. You understand where I'm going, right? Do you follow me? Do you follow which way I'm going? Now, there are four categories in this little graph here, and what's most interesting is while we see the Capulets and the Montagues, right, the Capulets being the college-educated women and the Montagues being the non-college-educated men, we see the great divide, you know? It's a serious divide. I mean, and it's way bigger than just abortion and Donald Trump,

you know? It's, well, it's way bigger. It touches all kinds of things. I mean, I've heard incredible stats, red flag stats. Maybe I'll look that up too because that's interesting. About the way that men and women are looking at each other. And the red flags in relationships, right? Like if you, something, some massive percentage of women are completely turned off by men who listen to Joe Rogan and support Donald Trump. Like it's tremendous, right? But what is interesting about this is there are two more demographics, if you will, that are worth mentioning. And it's college-educated men and non-college-educated women.

And what you see is those groups are much closer. They are much closely, they are more closely aligned, which is very interesting. So in other words, women with the master's degree and the men doing the pipe fitting, they don't get along, right? At least on issues. Truth be told, they probably both would like to be with each other. But I think maybe both have had a little bit of whatever, whatever. I

don't need to go into the hypotheses. However, the college-educated men and the non-college-educated women come pretty close on a lot of issues, except Donald Trump. Women educated in college and non-college-educated women, they both hate Donald Trump. It's 70 and 72 percent, essentially. Or at least that's what this data tells me. So in America today, why do I bring it up? Why am I reading from Romeo and Juliet, a long-forgotten play written by a man who they say doesn't even exist? He might be gay. He wasn't even real. You know, everything you can say about someone to detract from their greatness. Not that being gay is a detraction from anyone's greatness, but you know what I mean.

You know what I mean. You know what I mean. The great sort of sonnet-writing genius whom you may quote in a card to your wife. Naturally, the attack is, well, you know, he was gay. He was actually talking to men. You know, whatever. Not being masculine or feminine enough, physical attraction, romantic expectations, and the gender divide. I have a hard time believing this stat, so.

Only 56% of young women, well, it does say young women, so that's probably true. Only 56% of young women are attracted exclusively to men. Yeah, wild. Americans say men more than women have unrealistic expectations in dating. But they don't tell you what the expectations are. What is it? Come on, come on, come on.

Have I both been in one? Overall, seven in ten Americans believe when it comes to dating, most men have unrealistic expectations. Nearly two-thirds, three-quarters, majority. It doesn't say. Most men have unrealistic expectations for women. Men, I don't know. It's interesting. I'd love to know what they mean.

I'd love to know what an unrealistic expectation is. On both sides. It'd be very interesting. Views about premarital sex, evangelicals, of course. Married and single Americans. Single men are most dissatisfied with their sex lives.

Yeah, no duh. Single men are most dissatisfied with their sex lives. It's like the oldest trope in the world, right? Every guy, it's the ego crushes these single guys They're so stupid These single guys are so stupid It's unbelievable

They walk around They buy expensive clothing Colognes, whatever Do you know what I mean? I'll never settle down I'm wild I'm out here man I'm just, you know It it's like a field of roses

out here and I'll just pick whichever one. No, you won't. No, you won't. You'll go home alone most of the time. Listen to the young men in the audience. Get in a relationship. Now. Right now. Doesn't have to be the best one. Right? Just get in a relationship. What are you doing? What the hell are you doing? Romantic love is where it's at. I've come to a conclusion. Fall in love as much as you can. Do you know what I mean? I don't mean simultaneously. Keep it to one person. But I'm saying, you fall in love, don't go on a hiatus for five years. I hate women.

I'm never going to get in a relationship again. I just want to play Dungeons and Dragons until I'm 50 and blow my brains out in my mom's basement. No, no, no. Romantic love is a miracle. Okay? It is. love is a miracle. Okay? It is. It's a miracle. Fall in love as much as you can.

Don't run around in some disgusting bar with smelly people and overpriced everything and waste a decade of your life peering through the mist that's pouring off people on the dance floor to try to find the woman you want to fall in love with get to it young women more likely to say social changes are good for society loneliness, life satisfaction and personal happiness give me some graphs

dude, younger women most often say they feel unhappy with their appearance What kind of statistic is that? I could have told you that I didn't have to survey anybody ever Of course When he's even You're kidding me

Young ladies don't like the way they look They're insecure about their looks You must be joking This has to be This has to be something else. Let me clear my throat. We're going to go deep here, okay? You know what?

10% off It's the best 90 bucks you could spend, I'm telling you right now. The world we're inheriting right now, you better... Ready to switch gears completely? Shall I compare thee... Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

And summer's lease hath all too short a date Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines And often is his gold complexion dimmed And every fair from fair sometime declines By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of the fair thou ow'st Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in this shade

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st So long as men can breathe or eyes can see So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. Sonnet 18 is probably one of the most popular of Shakespeare's sonnets. Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Maybe one of the most popular couple lines.

It's not one of my favorites. It's not one of my, but it's worth reading. It's worth giving you a taste. Now, Sonnet 98, some 80 sonnets later, he started to get the wind under his sails, man. And he's still comparing his love to other things, right? So, you know, humor me. Humor me. You should read Shakespeare. I mean, it's just, you know, his plays are not his sonnets. His sonnets are all about love. His plays are very different. There's a lot in his plays. From you I've been absent in the spring. When the proud, piet April dressed in all his trim hath put a spirit of youth in everything.

Right? You know what I'm talking about. When the green buds start to pop in the springtime. That heavy Saturn laughed and leapt with him. Yet nor the lays of birds nor the sweet smell of different flowers and odor and hue could make me any summer story tell, or from their proud lap plucked them where they grew. Nor did I wonder at the lilies white, nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose.

They were but sweet, but figures of delight. Drawn after you, you patterned all those. Yet it seemed winter still and you away, as with your shadow, I with these did play. In other words, William is missing his lady. He's missing his lady, and it's been a while since he's seen her. And he sees her in the rose, and he sees her in the lily, and he sees her in the birds, and he sees her in all this thing. And in spring, he says to himself, I'm sorry, in winter, he says to himself, you know, you're drawn of all beauty in the world. What do you want me to say?

What do you want me to say to that? Now, Shakespeare clearly was the inspiration for one of my favorite poets, Dante Gabriel Rossetti. And Rossetti was a bad guy. We don't know much about Shakespeare. We know plenty about Dante. Dante was a genius, okay? He was a genius in many ways. He was one of those kinds of genius that couldn't keep it bottled, though.

You know what I mean? He couldn't keep it bottled though you know what i mean he couldn't keep it bottled he couldn't keep it safe because when you i guess what it looks like to me now i'm far from a genius but what it looks like to me is these there's the type of genius where um you can handle it kind of like elon but elon even is cracking a little bit right he's getting a little wild there's a level of genius that you can contain and some people do it really well and then there's there's the type of genius that you know it just starts coming out of all angles like it's almost like it's almost like the brain is under massive pressure and it has these crazy outlets like steam blowing off the genius mind. And sometimes it's drugs and sometimes it's sex and sometimes it's gambling or whatever the wild behavior. Well, it's clear that Dante Gabriel Rossetti was a genius in this regard

because he could paint. He's painted. I don't know, I mean, who's painted better? Who's painted better realistic pictures of women than Dante Gabriel Rossetti? You know, just look up Lady Lilith. Look up Ophelia. I mean, these are paintings that are... Again, you can look at a painting like that. You can look at art at a time like that and say to yourself, the way that men looked at women, angelic. You know what I mean? You can see this all through the Renaissance too. Angelic, the attention to the detail of the beauty. When you write something, when you create

something, your attention to detail goes to the things that you care about most, right? You can read it in people's writing very easily. They will focus on unimaginable amounts of energy, writing about the detailed parts of the story that they really enjoy writing about, and then flow right through other things. You know what I mean? He lived in a house. He was married to a woman. He opened his gun safe, and inside of his gun safe he had a Bushmaster. You know what I mean?

And go into detail. Three, four, five pages about all the weapons. So you could look at the way, you can see the way that men felt about women, the idolatry back in those days. It was, you know, it's a beautiful thing to see. But he was as gifted a poet as he was a painter. And I think because he was such a genius, he was, you know, riddled by that sort of geyser-like bad behavior. You know, the drugs and the absinthe and the, you know what I mean, the running around on Lizzie. He struggled. Now, what Dante's sonnets were all about in

The House of Life, his book The House of Life, it was kind of like, I guess you could put it this way. For the most part, Shakespeare is rated G. His sonnets are like rated G. Dante was under fire because he became the PG-13 of sonnet writing. You know, I forget what they called it. They called it the fleshy school of poetry something along those lines the fleshy school, yeah, yeah something along, so

there's one in here, I won't read the whole thing but I'll I think I can get away with married flowers, do you find out yeah, I can get with the get to the bottom half of the sonnet the sonnet, by the way, for those of you who don't know, is a 14-line poem. Usually about love.

Sleep sank them low. This is called Nuptial Sleep. I have a star next to it because it's one of my favorites. Sleep sank them lower than the tide of dreams. And their dreams watched them sink away. No, this is not the one I'm looking for. What is the one I'm looking for? This is a great one, though.

Soul swam up again through the gleams, yet he woke. I read this the other day, actually. Nuptial sleep is not it. Supreme surrender. Hearts hope. I thought it was nuptial sleep. Passion and worship. The portrait loves lovers.

My lady only loves the heart of love, therefore loves heart. My lady hath for thee. Some ladies love the jewels in love zone. Where is it? Genius and beauty, that's a great one. But it ain't the one I'm looking for. I mean, they're fawning all over themselves and he talks about the redness in their cheeks. And you could see how they came to look at this guy and say, oh, okay, how they came to look at this guy and say,

oh, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a little much, Dante. You may want to take it back a bit. But that was his thing, you know what I mean? That was sort of his calling. I mean, anyone, the House of Life, a sonnet sequence, part one, Youth and Change, is what it's all about. It's what hooked me on this guy from the get-go. Before I even knew he was a painter.

When I read Dante the first time, I thought he was Dante Alighieri from Dante's Inferno. I was totally confused. I got this book out of the library and just, okay. Let's read one. Which one should we read? Genius in Beauty is great. Yeah, but I've read that one a million times on there. That means Silent Noon, not bad.

Pride and Youth, Mid-pture, the moon star. Heart's compass, sometimes thou seem'st not as thyself alone, but as the meaning of all things that are. A breathless wonder shadowing forth afar, some heavenly solstice hushed, whose unstirred lips are music's visible tone, whose eyes are the sun-gade of the soul on bar, being of its furthest fires oracular.

The evident heart of all life's sown and moan, moan, M-O-W-N, even such love is and is not thy name love. Yea, by the hand and the love God rends apart all gathering clouds of night's ambiguous art. Do you get that? That's a lot. It simply has some gauge or flower or glove, stakes with a smile the world against thy heart. Okay, stop with the...

That was a tough one. Heart's compass may not have been the best one to do. Here we go. So the person who wrote, or who I bought, owned this book first, her gifts. Not bad. Severed Selves.

The reason I like Severed Selves is because it reminds me of a song that my friend Mike D. would have wrote way back when in our garage band rock days. You know what I mean? Severed selves. Yeah, there's all kinds of writing in these. And then we follow it up. His chapter follows up with his sister, who was also a gifted poet.

Lots of people say she was better than him. I ain't buying it. But a lot of people say he was better than him. What smoldering senses in death's sick delay or seizure of malign vicissitude? Calm down, Dante. Dante got a hold of the thesaurus in that one. Can rob this body of honor or denude

this soul of wedding raiment worn today? For lo, even now my lady's lips did play. With these my lips such consonant interlude as laureled Orpheus longed for when he wooed orpheus was allowed to try and bring his wife eurydice back from the dead because he was such a great poet for those of you don't know the half-drawn hungering face with the last lay. I was a child beneath her touch. A man, draw from the one loving heart such evidence. A spirit when her spirit looked through me.

A God when all our life breath met to fan. Our life blood, till love's emulous ardors ran. Fire within fire, desire in deity. Good old Dante, Dante man Still love him Still doing it Still doing it for me After I don't know 20 years

Something along those lines I've got some great books There's a lot of hidden gems Out there PBN family It is a day It is a holiday it is a day. It is a holiday. It is a holiday marked by conspiracy anymore.

Romantic love itself marked by conspiracy anymore, right? Who is the champion of romantic love today? Who? Who's the guy? Who's the gal? Who are the people? What's the group? Who's the gal? Who are the people? What's the group? Where's the group?

Who's behind it? I know many groups who stand against it. They fight the nuclear family. They fight straight, cisgendered love. There's plenty of opponents. Who's out there? Who's out there taking stand, right? Who's out there standing watch, if you will, over romantic love? Who's driving it forward with, you know, this concept that what do we all strive for at the end of the day?

Jay-Z had his own way of looking at it that I always thought was kind of funny. Not something I want to bring up on the show tonight, but if you're a Jay-Z fan, you know what I'm talking about. And as vulgar as it was, there was a lot to be said about it, you know what I mean? Yeah, there are reasons why we do the things we do, right? And I think we're finding that chipping away at romantic love to dig out some of the things that we think are maybe the gems hidden in all the rigmarole of marriage or relationship,

we're finding that those things alone are empty. Sex in and alone, right? Being an empty pursuit. I mean, have you ever found that in your own life to be true? That it is an empty pursuit. Very, you know, it doesn't take a lot of that to really understand it. Before long, you understand, like, this is not going to sustain me forever. There has to be more. And I don't know, that's being lost on a generation. I really do believe it.

So much so that I do a lot of weird things for my children. I do a lot of weird things, write a lot of diaries, write different passages that I keep in a Google Drive that I have not given them access to yet, but I will very soon, at least to my oldest. My youngest, maybe not yet. Because, you know, I'm a writer. So to write to the world constantly, to write to my wife, it seems only fair that you would write to your children. And one of the things I've been working on for both of them is a list of films, a list of movies.

Who's going to tell them? If I die tomorrow, you know what I mean? Who's going to tell the kids, hey, these are the movies? My dad would sit me down and say, all right, Jim, the Predator's on at 8. We're going to watch the Predator tonight. You know what I mean? And you'd watch it and you'd be like, what the, what am I watching? This is so awesome.

You know what I mean? But nowadays there's so many movies and so many of them suck. And funny enough, as I started to crank out all these movies I wrote, most of them I wrote were in the romance and love category, which is kind of funny. There's a lot. I mean, there's a lot of great flicks. If you're looking for, I'll give you a few great ones that are worth watching tonight, okay, that you may have never watched before. okay that you may have never watched before my favorite of the year all in the category of romance um was a movie called about time about time is an amazing flick man it really is it's an amazing movie about a guy who's real kind of awkward like every guy is with girls and uh his father

sits him down one see this is just crazy enough that it just was perfect for me his father sits him down and says hey i need to tell you a secret about the men in our family um we can turn back time and we go into a closet we close our eyes and clench our fists and we can visualize the place we want to go back in time and we can go there. And his dad's great. The whole family's great. Everybody's good in that movie. About Time. Phenomenal flick for tonight.

Throwback. You want a throwback flick, you can watch Career Opportunities and see Target in the 80s or early 90s. I don't know when that movie was made. But that's a great one, Career Opportunities. It's one of those movies where the lead woman in it is so unbelievably beautiful that it's weird to watch sometimes. You know what I mean? It's Jennifer Connelly.

It's crazy. Love and Other Drugs is a great movie. A lot of sex in it, but it's a great movie. Jake Gyllenhaal and who's the cat woman? Who played Catwoman? Can't think of her name. But anyway, she's got like Parkinson's or something along those lines. And, uh, well, it's good. Sort of like Autumn in New York in a similar way.

As good as it gets is great. I don't even know if I'd call it a romance, but it's a great flick for this kind of a, of a feel. Oh, here's a good one. i don't know you know this is a little campy it's a little weird it comes from a time where everybody was kind of in love with christian slater but untamed heart's a good flick definitely valentine's flick it's a good one to see everybody like 90 of the audience turned the show off hour ago so it doesn't even matter. But I think I'm done. I think that's about it. Look, every year I do this. Every year I try to get out in front of this thing and say, hey, listen, I know you think that you're Casanova and you have no plans on doing anything and you've convinced, maybe you've convinced your wife that Valentine's Day is stupid and you love her every day of the year, honey.

I don't need to. My love isn't relegated to one date. Whenever I hear people attack, particularly men, women, whatever, if a woman is attacking Valentine's Day, I think she's been brainwashed. It's silly. If a man is attacking Valentine's Day,

I think he's trying to get out of something. That's just how I feel about it. You know? I think a guy's gotten to a lady if she says, look, the last thing I want is a day where you buy me chocolates and roses and rub my feet and lay flower petals in the bathtub and yada, yada, yada. That's the last thing I want. Don't take me out to dinner. Don't spend money on me.

Don't give me a good time. Don't dance with me, right? You run into a woman who says they hate Valentine's Day. Just very few things could have happened. Right? Nobody's ever done it for you. Or, you know, you grew up with a dad or you're married to a guy who's kind of playing you a little bit. And this is my opinion.

And if you're a guy who is trying to sell people on the fact of valentine's day's a hallmark holiday man i just want you to spend money yeah no shit spend money on the woman you love what's so hard to do wait i don't understand where's the who's losing in this thing do you know what i mean do you not wish to profess On special occasion The love for your wife Why do you celebrate your anniversary then Right Enjoy it

If you're lucky enough to be in love There's nothing wrong with Doing crazy stuff On February the 14th You're just not going to hurt anybody Even if your wife You know what would be the best Even if your your wife was like, yeah, I'm right there with you, baby. Valentine's Day is bullshit. Even if she's like that, that's an even better excuse to blow her mind.

Really? She'll never see it coming. Like, what the hell? I don't know. Maybe it's not your thing. Maybe it is. Or maybe we don't have a choice. Maybe it has to be our thing. Maybe romantic love has to be protected. Maybe it has to be put on a pedestal. Maybe it has to be perfected to some degree. Because I think the whole of society depends on it.
