Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World.

It's very, very wonderful because we are on the precipice of a new year.

And my guest here for a happy moment is Brian Kilmead. Brian, cheers to you. Cheers to me. What did I do?

Just being an awesome friend and mentor. Yeah, this is a virgin bloody Mary. That was your request.

Right. Love the virgins. Yeah, you and Muhammad.

It's good, right? We can still drive, a tractor trail if we had to.

Yeah, CDL. I'm looking to get one in the new year. And you speak English.

It's, uh, apparently that is almost a disqualifier in this teenage, but... I just love the way that Colorado governor and the California governor just say, yeah, we're thinking

But it's probably, there's a side of it that is probably also very sad. But they say it's very strict, right? You have to check in. There's things you have to do. You have to make sure. As lot lizards? Yeah. I mean, you've got to make sure you have enough sleep before you're going to hop behind the wheel.

Do you know what a lot lizard is? People that hang out in parking lots? It's basically prostitutes who service long-haul truckers. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. And you've always thought about that life? No. I've always, it's always made, like the idea of Lot Lizards, like just, the name is very funny.

Did they embrace it?
