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

It's Monday, which means I didn't get a lot of sleep this weekend, Jim.

No, you did not.

No, you did not.

What the hell? If it makes you feel any better,

I have not slept since 1993. Okay, so I need sleep. I love getting at least eight hours of sleep

a night. If I get less than eight hours before I go to bed, if I know I have to be up in like

seven and a half, it gives me anxiety and it makes sleep more difficult. Yeah. And

which is you cheat death up until a certain point in the day that's entirely predicated on what

time your first Monday societal obligation. Absolutely. Right. Yeah, yeah. So if I had America's

newsroom this morning at 930, that means I probably stopped drinking yesterday around five.

Yes.

Okay, but on the days I don't have it at 9.30, I might start drinking at 5. You know, it might

only make its way until 9, but in that four-hour concentration, you're handing yourself a
