How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Joel McHale
LA TimesAlthough actor and comedian Joel McHale has lived in Los Angeles for nearly a quarter-century, he’s quick to point out that Sunday downtime here is a rarity. “I was gone for probably eight months of the year, and I’m always flying back and forth.” In Sunday Funday, L.A. people give us a play-by-play of their ideal Sunday around town. I used to play in football and basketball leagues and baseball and all that, and then I just kept seeing all my friends snap their knees and smash their faces, and I’m like, “I can’t do it anymore.” Noon: Forage the farmers market Then I’d ride an electric bike to the Studio City Farmers Market — I’ve got this Super73 bike with shopping bags on either side — and I’d get fresh pasta, I’d get pickles, meat, fish, tomatoes and there’s really good ice cream. I think that’s the first place I ever smelled palo santo being burned, and I was like, “I’m going to buy that!” The last thing I bought there was actually a book bag for myself — as if I’m on campus all the time, right? The last one we watched was called “Stopmotion.” 4: a.m.: “The Blade” before bedtime I’ll sleep six to seven hours — depending on my red wine intake — scrolling through Instagram, watching a little more TV — I recently watched “Anatomy of Lies,” which is a documentary about a writer for “Grey’s Anatomy” and it’s wild — or listen to an audio book.
