Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcasts?
A full house. Yeah, so there's Bethany, They're scary. What's
going on? There's day Brody, Hello, great tea, the frat boy. Yes,
there's Garrett. That's me, There's Danielle and here I am. Hey. Look,
(00:26):
it is the weekend as we give you this podcast
here in beautiful downtown New York City, Tribeca. To be exact,
we bring up this question, what is your weekend ritual?
You may not even realize you do it every weekend,
but when Friday rolls around, you go into a different mindset.
If you don't work over the weekend, if you have
a Monday through Friday schedule, and there's something that you do,
stop and thinking about it, You're like, ah, I do
(00:47):
have one? Do you have one? Bethany? Yeah, for sure.
I wake up usually around eights, just naturally, uh, and
then I make coffee, I make breakfast, and then I go.
I sit in my window and I watched the street outside.
Would have come awake, um, listen to the radio. And
my cat Loki usually comes and crawls into my lap
and likes to sit and like lean his torso against
(01:10):
my torso. So he can look out the window but
still feel safe, and we just sit there together and
I eat breakfast. It's really nice and before you know what,
you do it every weekend. It's a quiet start to
a weekend morning, which I love. It's your ritual. I
like that, Yes, scary, what's your weekend ritual? I always
wake up on Sunday morning and I watch CBS Sunday Morning.
I have to watch it and I lay in bed
(01:30):
and it's the most peaceful show ever. It's cool. It's
so informative. It's different than anything out there. It's not
a newscast. It's just fun life style. And I say
it always puts me in a better mood. And I mean,
I join you on that one. That is our ritual
every Sunday morning, CBS Sunday Morning is on. It is
by far the best TV level of journalism, in a
(01:52):
different way of seeing life. I agree. And if you
don't watch it, watch it. You'll get hooked. It'll be
your new ritual. Yes, Brodie, do you have a weekend ritual? Yeah?
Every Friday I go home, I leave here. I run
Samarones Doule shopping because everything's emptied. There's no lines. Then
I go home. I'm exhausted from the weekend. I nap.
I wake up around seven for dinner, well rested, and
I say, you know what, I'm feeling great now, I've
(02:12):
I've relaxed. I'm gonna wake up in the morning. I'm
gonna get bagels. We'll all go to the Dina for breakfast.
It's great, But because I've napped, I can't sleep on
Friday night now because I'm not tired. So I stay
up till two in the morning watching television, and then
I over sleep every Saturday and we never go for
dina oyd bagels, and I ruin every weekend. People don't
understand if you do an early morning job, Fridays are
a different beast for you than your friends. You can
(02:33):
either take a nap and then stay up late or
I pass out early on Friday. I mean my eyes
start closing like around seven, because the whole week catches
up to you. A nap, then you're up late. Yeah,
so I ruined every Saturday morning. Now, Greg t, do
you care to tell us what your weekend ritual is? Okay? Sure,
you guys are shocked though, Okay, what is your weekend?
What do you do. So I want as soon as
(02:53):
I get out of here, uh, twelve noon, I have
a standing appointment with my barber, So I go see
George the barber. What I like to hang out there,
you know, like it's a good place. I walk in.
I gotta give all the barbers to handshake today at
twelve and you'll be at your barber. No, George the barber. Great.
So then after that then I'll probably go home and
(03:16):
I'll figure out what we're doing for the rest of
the day, whatever it is. And then um, I like
being dance dad on Friday's so On dances on Friday's
strip club. So on Friday's I had to take my daughter,
I think, Jada to dance. So I take her to
dance for like a four thirty quarter to five lesson.
So then I go to the gym and then I
(03:37):
work out till about eight o'clock. But I don't really
work out. I kind of like I hang out by
the bar a little bit, have a smoothie. Wait your
gym as a bar, I was smoothie. Yeah, yeah. Like
I talked to the owner, like, Y know, what's uping, Mike,
what's going on? You're there for three hours doing nothing. Yeah,
but well, but again, doesn't it show I don't work
out about three hours, so I work at any hour. Well,
(03:57):
I like the stair masters pretty cool now, and then
I like, you know the rowing machine with the water
in it. Oh, that's so great like doing that? Wait
wait wait, you do this every Friday? Or is this
a new ritual because it doesn't sound like you've been
doing it for very long. Yeah, you know, well, I
like to do it as often as I can on Fridays.
But when we do that work, it doesn't work out.
But I like to do that on Fridays, believe it
or not. At the gym, it's not as crowd as
(04:19):
you think. It's pretty it's pretty empty, which is really nice.
And then um, I'll think a shower, and then I'll
go to my uncle's and then when we have a cigar.
Sounds like every day for you as a ritual. See
greg t is one of those. He is one of
those personalities where everything must be in order. You're very
you're you probably do the same thing every day. I
like clockwork and then after my uncle's cigar that around
(04:42):
eleven o'clock. I usually I used to call scary and
kind of like, yeah, I call him on the way home.
I'll ask you about that. He calls me drunk one
night with his buddies having some drinks and we just
wanted to see what you were doing tonight, Scary. So
you call Scary drunk every week. This is part of
your Friday and this is a weekend ritual conversation. Yes,
it has become that weekend ritual now. Yeah. So yeah,
(05:05):
So then Friday night at seven, So then I'll get
home around on a one am or something like that,
and then I'll try to catch up on like Grey's
Anatomy or This is Us or something like that, and
then I'll pass out to about three am I go
to sleep. Finally, Saturday dance Dad again. One seconds. Yeah,
(05:28):
this is just like a quick like, what's your one ritual.
I don't want to know your on your entire weekend schedule.
Saturday's great for dance dad. The first the first time
he said dance Dad, I thought he said danced at
When he said strip club, I'm like, yeah, he wants
to get danced. And then he said his daughter. I'm like,
oh my god, why is his daughter dancing at anam?
It's dance dad. Well, so on Saturdays, I picked up
(05:48):
the neighbor's kid and the neighbor's tickets in the car
and then I take Jada and Allen neighbor's kid. They
gotta be more. You're stopping any lights? No lights? I
stopped eight thirty. I'm going, all right, I'm you know,
I'm leaving because you're going to continue. What are you
put in it? We have, like we have eight minutes left.
You're gonna take up all eight minutes. But okay, someone
(06:12):
just asked you, what is your weekend ritual? Do you
tell them from Friday at ten am until Sunday night
at midnight? No? But I can even tell you what
the Chrispy Pets and we get on Friday nights as well.
Over there tell us that vetch Hand podcast. He's a
creature of habit. He does the same thing at the
same time every day. And you guys, don't you guys
(06:32):
think I go home and I'm like just like walking
talking moron that just picks my nose on Friday. We
don't I actually do no. No, does anyone think that
in his head? No one thinks you do that my mind.
I think you guys just think I'm like, just this gigantic,
enormous moron has no life. If we know you play
it up in the air, we know that you're like
(06:53):
a normal dude with like a normal life. You do
peel on your own house though, well, I do like
the freedom of that matter fact you do that on
Friday day week. I took it to p on your
house again next week. Way in the backyards, and my
backgyard is pretty big. I was in the middle of
the yard and I was wide on the open, and
I said, through it, did you want did you go
(07:16):
in a circle like a sprinkler, totally right out the open,
not even a gainst the house. Just why can we
back up for just a second. I just I just
want to say, I really, really we love you, and
the fact that you think that we think that of
you is I want to tell you it could not
be further from the truth. And I want you to
believe it when I say that. Do you believe what
I'm saying. I'm trying you need to because we love you.
(07:37):
Like well, I walk around the gym sometimes and I
suck to my other friends. I'm like, man, I wish
the morning you would see like I have real friends,
Like I'm hanging out with these We're not doubting that
you do know alright? But what what kind of voice
in your head is telling you that we doubt you
have friends? I want you, I want you to tell
that voice stop it, because it's not true. I need
to try to I. I. Yeah, you're probably right. I
need medication. That's what you want. Well, you may or
(07:59):
may not. That's not up for us. You need to
go see a professional to help you determine nine problem.
And if you do, there's nothing wrong with it. As
a matter of fact, there's everything right with it. Uh
So back to weekly rituals. Where do I start morning?
Sunday night? Anyway? Any rituals? How do I love up
to that? I think you have a second child? Second child? Yeah,
(08:24):
So it used to be get home on Friday and
uh either take a nap or catch up on Thursday
night TV. And then I would just sit and wait
because our job allows us to be home earlier than
all our other friends. So I'm waiting around till five
six o'clock when everybody's out of work, going hey, what
are you doing? What are you doing? So it's it's
watching TV, waiting till five six o'clock, waiting to get
that text saying hey I'm home, or Hey let's go
(08:44):
out to eat, or hey let's go to the bar.
So it's a lot of sitting and waiting. That's just
kind of nice. Though. Sometimes sometimes you're quiet and like chill,
but then you don't get that text. Then you don't.
Then you wait and wait and no one texts you,
so then you cry in the shower around then, I
see what great teas up to wait is hanging in
the shower. Another ritual that's on Monday morning ritual, Well,
for me, I saved it for a special occasion. Okay,
(09:06):
you're not gonna go on and on and on Saturday.
I guess the question should have been, I wish we
could rewind what is your number one favorite weekend ritual?
I should have done that, and in hindsight, I'm so
sorry mornings. So, Danielle, what's the number one weekend ritual
(09:26):
that you really truly want to tell us about? Probably
when we do a movie or a TV show and
I cuddle with the kids on the couch, because that
always happens at least once during the weekend. And then
there's one other thing I do where I get a
glass of wine, I put on Big Bang Theory and
I watch repeats and I yeah, And I take my
recliner chair and I pull it out and I put
(09:48):
a blanket on and it's quiet. I always do that too.
And there's that other thing she does where she is
the stories her cats. Is that a weekend ritual? No,
I just do it all. That's not a weekend climb.
They like to climb on me and like wake me
up and smack me in the face, especially Saturday mornings,
like get up, it's time to get up. And I'm
(10:08):
just like, dude, hey, I gotta sleep. But he smacks
me once a week. She says on her instant story,
if you hungry, hungry, I just spend you mean, what
are you standing there for? Alvie, I will say, I've
seen that. It is cute. You want to eat, You're
ready to eat, and they have a conversation. I love
cats and again, and I've said this before, dogs, cats,
(10:29):
you can love both. I do truly love. What's your
weekend ritual? Elvis? Getting the funk away from you? Running
the funk away from you? I wish I could sleep
and I just don't. But I will tell you living
in New York City, and only the only way you
know this is if you do live in New York City.
(10:51):
It is such a loud place. You forget how loud
it is because you're in the middle of it all
the time. It's a constant volume. I mean a sirens, jackhammers,
add to it whatever you want. Sunday mornings before CBS
Sunday Morning early, I'll wake up around six six thirty
and go for a walk with Max. There's a coffee
(11:14):
place down the street. The guy lets meet Carrie Max,
And even though legally and I'm supposed to take him
in there, he lets me bring Max and he always
patch Max. I get a cup of coffee and I
go for a walk. Because New York City in the
quiet is a whole different city. You see things I
didn't know. That noise makes you seem less, I do.
I believe in my mind anyway. I believe that distortion
(11:34):
the noise takes away some brain power. It makes it
more difficult to notice things. I agree with that you're
not as aware of things. There was one morning that
I had to do something in Central Park at like
nine o'clock on a Sunday morning the best time, and
being on the Upper East or the Upper West Side
(11:54):
in the early morning on a weekend is the quietest
you will ever see this deep because hey, everyone's asleep.
You could you could film a post apocalyptic movie on
the Upper East or Upper West Side on a Sunday morning.
No one's there. That's the time it's about to erupt.
But not quiet or in the bron But there's just
(12:16):
something beautiful about the city of hours that can be
so so so distorting, just such a word, uh during
regular business hours. So my weekend ritual is Sunday mornings
going for a walk with my Max and enjoying the silence.
You walk in the middle of the street like you
own the city. Yeah you can, you already can. It's
kind of funny how quickly your neighborhoods will just empty
(12:36):
out right around four in the morning, three thirty in
the morning. They they're empty until around nine, and then
it's back right about the time that we if you
live in the city, right about the time that we're
getting ready to go to work. That's like that magic
hour of all of the super drunk people have finally
gone to bed and all of the early morning joggers
have not yet gone out to jog. It's like an
(12:58):
hour where everyone is asleep. You can have the city
to yourself. It's so there's your weekend ritual thing. Okay,
let's go back to Saturday mornings with Great I don't
tell you. I like to listen to Ella Fitzgerald. It's
one of my favorites. So I stream her music. Which
is I like that. We have like two minutes to kill.
So let's just like Great Sinatra. I like Frank Sinatra
as well. Okay, it's a lot of fun. I have
(13:19):
an all the little Sono speaker in this in the
in the bedroom now and I heart radio. Choose that's
the hits for you? Absolutely nice yep um Saturday night.
I like the massage. Trish is back. She hates it,
but I like that. But wait, is it a ritual?
Do you do it every single week? And that's what
this is about. I try to. She always like nudges
with the elbows stop and the massage is not a ritual.
(13:40):
The attempt to do that's the ritual. Yeah, I try,
it doesn't really succeed by try. Okay. So then Sunday
afternoons you've watched Sunday Sunday Morning or anything. What do
you do on Sunday morning? Yes, Sunday morning, I make
breakfast for everybody, so that's great. Yeah every Sunday morning. Yeah,
Monday morning. I make sure that the kids have like
I have to go to hold foods first and then
(14:00):
I get all the stuff. Then I get home and
then I make I cut up all the all the
strawberries for all the girls, and then I make their
breakfast that I clean up, and I make a fresh coffee,
ground beans coffee. I really love that nice smell, great roma.
This is a ritual. Yeah, yes, Brodie, I'm a terrible father.
You're not slicing strawberries from a whole food. He's over sleeping,
(14:21):
and then I walk around, try to clean the house
a little bit, shut him off, and then you promise
them that you're gonna do something Saturday morning. So not
only are you bad father, but you're a lion bad father.
I'm the worst. Okay, So Sunday, after you clean, try
to take him to the park. Say afternoon, you try
to go to a park. We go to a soccer field.
So it's not a ritual to go to the park.
It's a ritual to try to go to the park.
(14:43):
We got, we got go. I hear the music Sunday night.
What's the last thing you do every week? I have
to get ice cream for everybody, Well, every sundaynight get away.
I'm sleeping Chi Minute Morning Show m
What would you talk about on your on your podcasts?
A full house. Yeah, so there's Bethany, They're scary. What's
going on? There's day Brody, Hello, great tea, the frat boy. Yes,
there's Garrett. That's me, There's Danielle and here I am. Hey. Look,
(00:26):
it is the weekend as we give you this podcast
here in beautiful downtown New York City, Tribeca. To be exact,
we bring up this question, what is your weekend ritual?
You may not even realize you do it every weekend,
but when Friday rolls around, you go into a different mindset.
If you don't work over the weekend, if you have
a Monday through Friday schedule, and there's something that you do,
stop and thinking about it, You're like, ah, I do
(00:47):
have one? Do you have one? Bethany? Yeah, for sure.
I wake up usually around eights, just naturally, uh, and
then I make coffee, I make breakfast, and then I go.
I sit in my window and I watched the street outside.
Would have come awake, um, listen to the radio. And
my cat Loki usually comes and crawls into my lap
and likes to sit and like lean his torso against
(01:10):
my torso. So he can look out the window but
still feel safe, and we just sit there together and
I eat breakfast. It's really nice and before you know what,
you do it every weekend. It's a quiet start to
a weekend morning, which I love. It's your ritual. I
like that, Yes, scary, what's your weekend ritual? I always
wake up on Sunday morning and I watch CBS Sunday Morning.
I have to watch it and I lay in bed
(01:30):
and it's the most peaceful show ever. It's cool. It's
so informative. It's different than anything out there. It's not
a newscast. It's just fun life style. And I say
it always puts me in a better mood. And I mean,
I join you on that one. That is our ritual
every Sunday morning, CBS Sunday Morning is on. It is
by far the best TV level of journalism, in a
(01:52):
different way of seeing life. I agree. And if you
don't watch it, watch it. You'll get hooked. It'll be
your new ritual. Yes, Brodie, do you have a weekend ritual? Yeah?
Every Friday I go home, I leave here. I run
Samarones Doule shopping because everything's emptied. There's no lines. Then
I go home. I'm exhausted from the weekend. I nap.
I wake up around seven for dinner, well rested, and
I say, you know what, I'm feeling great now, I've
(02:12):
I've relaxed. I'm gonna wake up in the morning. I'm
gonna get bagels. We'll all go to the Dina for breakfast.
It's great, But because I've napped, I can't sleep on
Friday night now because I'm not tired. So I stay
up till two in the morning watching television, and then
I over sleep every Saturday and we never go for
dina oyd bagels, and I ruin every weekend. People don't
understand if you do an early morning job, Fridays are
a different beast for you than your friends. You can
(02:33):
either take a nap and then stay up late or
I pass out early on Friday. I mean my eyes
start closing like around seven, because the whole week catches
up to you. A nap, then you're up late. Yeah,
so I ruined every Saturday morning. Now, Greg t, do
you care to tell us what your weekend ritual is? Okay? Sure,
you guys are shocked though, Okay, what is your weekend?
What do you do. So I want as soon as
(02:53):
I get out of here, uh, twelve noon, I have
a standing appointment with my barber, So I go see
George the barber. What I like to hang out there,
you know, like it's a good place. I walk in.
I gotta give all the barbers to handshake today at
twelve and you'll be at your barber. No, George the barber. Great.
So then after that then I'll probably go home and
(03:16):
I'll figure out what we're doing for the rest of
the day, whatever it is. And then um, I like
being dance dad on Friday's so On dances on Friday's
strip club. So on Friday's I had to take my daughter,
I think, Jada to dance. So I take her to
dance for like a four thirty quarter to five lesson.
So then I go to the gym and then I
(03:37):
work out till about eight o'clock. But I don't really
work out. I kind of like I hang out by
the bar a little bit, have a smoothie. Wait your
gym as a bar, I was smoothie. Yeah, yeah. Like
I talked to the owner, like, Y know, what's uping, Mike,
what's going on? You're there for three hours doing nothing. Yeah,
but well, but again, doesn't it show I don't work
out about three hours, so I work at any hour. Well,
(03:57):
I like the stair masters pretty cool now, and then
I like, you know the rowing machine with the water
in it. Oh, that's so great like doing that? Wait
wait wait, you do this every Friday? Or is this
a new ritual because it doesn't sound like you've been
doing it for very long. Yeah, you know, well, I
like to do it as often as I can on Fridays.
But when we do that work, it doesn't work out.
But I like to do that on Fridays, believe it
or not. At the gym, it's not as crowd as
(04:19):
you think. It's pretty it's pretty empty, which is really nice.
And then um, I'll think a shower, and then I'll
go to my uncle's and then when we have a cigar.
Sounds like every day for you as a ritual. See
greg t is one of those. He is one of
those personalities where everything must be in order. You're very
you're you probably do the same thing every day. I
like clockwork and then after my uncle's cigar that around
(04:42):
eleven o'clock. I usually I used to call scary and
kind of like, yeah, I call him on the way home.
I'll ask you about that. He calls me drunk one
night with his buddies having some drinks and we just
wanted to see what you were doing tonight, Scary. So
you call Scary drunk every week. This is part of
your Friday and this is a weekend ritual conversation. Yes,
it has become that weekend ritual now. Yeah. So yeah,
(05:05):
So then Friday night at seven, So then I'll get
home around on a one am or something like that,
and then I'll try to catch up on like Grey's
Anatomy or This is Us or something like that, and
then I'll pass out to about three am I go
to sleep. Finally, Saturday dance Dad again. One seconds. Yeah,
(05:28):
this is just like a quick like, what's your one ritual.
I don't want to know your on your entire weekend schedule.
Saturday's great for dance dad. The first the first time
he said dance Dad, I thought he said danced at
When he said strip club, I'm like, yeah, he wants
to get danced. And then he said his daughter. I'm like,
oh my god, why is his daughter dancing at anam?
It's dance dad. Well, so on Saturdays, I picked up
(05:48):
the neighbor's kid and the neighbor's tickets in the car
and then I take Jada and Allen neighbor's kid. They
gotta be more. You're stopping any lights? No lights? I
stopped eight thirty. I'm going, all right, I'm you know,
I'm leaving because you're going to continue. What are you
put in it? We have, like we have eight minutes left.
You're gonna take up all eight minutes. But okay, someone
(06:12):
just asked you, what is your weekend ritual? Do you
tell them from Friday at ten am until Sunday night
at midnight? No? But I can even tell you what
the Chrispy Pets and we get on Friday nights as well.
Over there tell us that vetch Hand podcast. He's a
creature of habit. He does the same thing at the
same time every day. And you guys, don't you guys
(06:32):
think I go home and I'm like just like walking
talking moron that just picks my nose on Friday. We
don't I actually do no. No, does anyone think that
in his head? No one thinks you do that my mind.
I think you guys just think I'm like, just this gigantic,
enormous moron has no life. If we know you play
it up in the air, we know that you're like
(06:53):
a normal dude with like a normal life. You do
peel on your own house though, well, I do like
the freedom of that matter fact you do that on
Friday day week. I took it to p on your
house again next week. Way in the backyards, and my
backgyard is pretty big. I was in the middle of
the yard and I was wide on the open, and
I said, through it, did you want did you go
(07:16):
in a circle like a sprinkler, totally right out the open,
not even a gainst the house. Just why can we
back up for just a second. I just I just
want to say, I really, really we love you, and
the fact that you think that we think that of
you is I want to tell you it could not
be further from the truth. And I want you to
believe it when I say that. Do you believe what
I'm saying. I'm trying you need to because we love you.
(07:37):
Like well, I walk around the gym sometimes and I
suck to my other friends. I'm like, man, I wish
the morning you would see like I have real friends,
Like I'm hanging out with these We're not doubting that
you do know alright? But what what kind of voice
in your head is telling you that we doubt you
have friends? I want you, I want you to tell
that voice stop it, because it's not true. I need
to try to I. I. Yeah, you're probably right. I
need medication. That's what you want. Well, you may or
(07:59):
may not. That's not up for us. You need to
go see a professional to help you determine nine problem.
And if you do, there's nothing wrong with it. As
a matter of fact, there's everything right with it. Uh
So back to weekly rituals. Where do I start morning?
Sunday night? Anyway? Any rituals? How do I love up
to that? I think you have a second child? Second child? Yeah,
(08:24):
So it used to be get home on Friday and
uh either take a nap or catch up on Thursday
night TV. And then I would just sit and wait
because our job allows us to be home earlier than
all our other friends. So I'm waiting around till five
six o'clock when everybody's out of work, going hey, what
are you doing? What are you doing? So it's it's
watching TV, waiting till five six o'clock, waiting to get
that text saying hey I'm home, or Hey let's go
(08:44):
out to eat, or hey let's go to the bar.
So it's a lot of sitting and waiting. That's just
kind of nice. Though. Sometimes sometimes you're quiet and like chill,
but then you don't get that text. Then you don't.
Then you wait and wait and no one texts you,
so then you cry in the shower around then, I
see what great teas up to wait is hanging in
the shower. Another ritual that's on Monday morning ritual, Well,
for me, I saved it for a special occasion. Okay,
(09:06):
you're not gonna go on and on and on Saturday.
I guess the question should have been, I wish we
could rewind what is your number one favorite weekend ritual?
I should have done that, and in hindsight, I'm so
sorry mornings. So, Danielle, what's the number one weekend ritual
(09:26):
that you really truly want to tell us about? Probably
when we do a movie or a TV show and
I cuddle with the kids on the couch, because that
always happens at least once during the weekend. And then
there's one other thing I do where I get a
glass of wine, I put on Big Bang Theory and
I watch repeats and I yeah, And I take my
recliner chair and I pull it out and I put
(09:48):
a blanket on and it's quiet. I always do that too.
And there's that other thing she does where she is
the stories her cats. Is that a weekend ritual? No,
I just do it all. That's not a weekend climb.
They like to climb on me and like wake me
up and smack me in the face, especially Saturday mornings,
like get up, it's time to get up. And I'm
(10:08):
just like, dude, hey, I gotta sleep. But he smacks
me once a week. She says on her instant story,
if you hungry, hungry, I just spend you mean, what
are you standing there for? Alvie, I will say, I've
seen that. It is cute. You want to eat, You're
ready to eat, and they have a conversation. I love
cats and again, and I've said this before, dogs, cats,
(10:29):
you can love both. I do truly love. What's your
weekend ritual? Elvis? Getting the funk away from you? Running
the funk away from you? I wish I could sleep
and I just don't. But I will tell you living
in New York City, and only the only way you
know this is if you do live in New York City.
(10:51):
It is such a loud place. You forget how loud
it is because you're in the middle of it all
the time. It's a constant volume. I mean a sirens, jackhammers,
add to it whatever you want. Sunday mornings before CBS
Sunday Morning early, I'll wake up around six six thirty
and go for a walk with Max. There's a coffee
(11:14):
place down the street. The guy lets meet Carrie Max,
And even though legally and I'm supposed to take him
in there, he lets me bring Max and he always
patch Max. I get a cup of coffee and I
go for a walk. Because New York City in the
quiet is a whole different city. You see things I
didn't know. That noise makes you seem less, I do.
I believe in my mind anyway. I believe that distortion
(11:34):
the noise takes away some brain power. It makes it
more difficult to notice things. I agree with that you're
not as aware of things. There was one morning that
I had to do something in Central Park at like
nine o'clock on a Sunday morning the best time, and
being on the Upper East or the Upper West Side
(11:54):
in the early morning on a weekend is the quietest
you will ever see this deep because hey, everyone's asleep.
You could you could film a post apocalyptic movie on
the Upper East or Upper West Side on a Sunday morning.
No one's there. That's the time it's about to erupt.
But not quiet or in the bron But there's just
(12:16):
something beautiful about the city of hours that can be
so so so distorting, just such a word, uh during
regular business hours. So my weekend ritual is Sunday mornings
going for a walk with my Max and enjoying the silence.
You walk in the middle of the street like you
own the city. Yeah you can, you already can. It's
kind of funny how quickly your neighborhoods will just empty
(12:36):
out right around four in the morning, three thirty in
the morning. They they're empty until around nine, and then
it's back right about the time that we if you
live in the city, right about the time that we're
getting ready to go to work. That's like that magic
hour of all of the super drunk people have finally
gone to bed and all of the early morning joggers
have not yet gone out to jog. It's like an
(12:58):
hour where everyone is asleep. You can have the city
to yourself. It's so there's your weekend ritual thing. Okay,
let's go back to Saturday mornings with Great I don't
tell you. I like to listen to Ella Fitzgerald. It's
one of my favorites. So I stream her music. Which
is I like that. We have like two minutes to kill.
So let's just like Great Sinatra. I like Frank Sinatra
as well. Okay, it's a lot of fun. I have
(13:19):
an all the little Sono speaker in this in the
in the bedroom now and I heart radio. Choose that's
the hits for you? Absolutely nice yep um Saturday night.
I like the massage. Trish is back. She hates it,
but I like that. But wait, is it a ritual?
Do you do it every single week? And that's what
this is about. I try to. She always like nudges
with the elbows stop and the massage is not a ritual.
(13:40):
The attempt to do that's the ritual. Yeah, I try,
it doesn't really succeed by try. Okay. So then Sunday
afternoons you've watched Sunday Sunday Morning or anything. What do
you do on Sunday morning? Yes, Sunday morning, I make
breakfast for everybody, so that's great. Yeah every Sunday morning. Yeah,
Monday morning. I make sure that the kids have like
I have to go to hold foods first and then
(14:00):
I get all the stuff. Then I get home and
then I make I cut up all the all the
strawberries for all the girls, and then I make their
breakfast that I clean up, and I make a fresh coffee,
ground beans coffee. I really love that nice smell, great roma.
This is a ritual. Yeah, yes, Brodie, I'm a terrible father.
You're not slicing strawberries from a whole food. He's over sleeping,
(14:21):
and then I walk around, try to clean the house
a little bit, shut him off, and then you promise
them that you're gonna do something Saturday morning. So not
only are you bad father, but you're a lion bad father.
I'm the worst. Okay, So Sunday, after you clean, try
to take him to the park. Say afternoon, you try
to go to a park. We go to a soccer field.
So it's not a ritual to go to the park.
It's a ritual to try to go to the park.
(14:43):
We got, we got go. I hear the music Sunday night.
What's the last thing you do every week? I have
to get ice cream for everybody, Well, every sundaynight get away.
