Now that he has a baby, Kyle Mooney does not leave a certain radius of the if he does not have to do so. And he is satisfied with that. The former “Saturday Night Live” spends most of his time in Pasadena, Glendale, Highland Park and, above all, Eagle Rock, where he lives with his wife and their little girl. “I felt like” the arts “was something I could identify with,” said Mooney, explaining why he was attracted to the neighborhood. “Highland Park (now) is a bit like what Silver Lake did when I had their twenties, but we were really struck by the district of Eagle Rock. I think it's quite special and picturesque in a brilliant way.”
In Sunday Funday, people give us a game game of their Sunday ideal in the city. Find ideas and an inspiration where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on weekends.
Mooney has revisited the past lately, both on and off the screen. The actor-comedian made his director's debut with “Y2k», A horror film at the start of the farmer who imagines a world where machines really go against humanity As feared at the turn of the millennium. The film, in theaters, will now be available to broadcast on December 24.
Apart from work, Mooney has revisited the past lately. He recently restored a love for baseball born during his childhood days in the little league. “It's such a cheesy sport, but for any reason, it does something for me, it's something that tickles my brain,” he said.
The ideal Sunday of Mooney includes baseball anecdotes, the hottest of spicy sauces and several walks in the neighborhood. “Sundays have a very special place in my heart because when I worked on” SNL “, it was my only day off,” he said. “So we would really enjoy it and try to get as many fun things as possible.”
This interview was slightly modified and condensed for duration and clarity.
8:30 am: Wake up in the morning “late”
Throughout the twenty, I used to try to sleep as late as possible, so that if I woke up at 4 p.m., I could get out of it only to pay for dinner. And then when I was on “SNL”, the calendar is built for the end of the night, so you are quite used to sleeping as late as possible so that you can manage (work) early in the morning.
Our schedule is now roughly based on the baby. My wife and I turn out every two days that wake up with her. She usually gets up around 6 am, sometimes from 5:30 am, so if I could sleep until 9 a.m. or 9:30 a.m., it would be Rad.
8:35 a.m.: Baseball Trivia games in bed
When I wake up, I always play this (mobile) game called “Immaculate grid » It is a game of baseball statistics. It is only recall statistics that players have had and (recalling) the history of baseball. When the baseball season takes place, I have three other friends (who are also playing) like) and we send our scores. So I'm going to play that and then I will hang out with the baby.
I loved baseball when I was a child. I really went to collection of cards and history. There is a Documentary Ken Burns on baseball And they produced this great old book that my father read with me at bedtime when I was in the fourth or fifth year.
I have really returned to baseball in the past two years – I come from San Diego and I am a fan of Padres – and it was a funny feeling because the dodgers were in the world of the World Series to wear a San Diego baseball cap. Never before I felt like a bad guy. This year was the first year I said to myself “you know, I'm not going to wear my hat (in public).”
10 am: Me-time while babies naps
I try to go to the gymnasium when I can, but if not, I like to jog in the neighborhood. Being able to say that I jog a mile or a mile and a half feels like a victory.
When I am on my jogging, I will always listen to music and sometimes try to modify a reading list. It's something that relaxes me. I was 40 years old last year and my wife and I had a shared birthday party, so there was a lot of preparation for the construction of the playlist. At that time, on these jogs, I added songs to a massive reading list which lasted 14 hours, then to make cuts, reducing it until six hours of music that we could spend to DJ to shoot. The music that I like the most for a party environment is the R&B of the 80s and funk, perhaps Italo Disco and Yacht Rock.
11 am: Venture outside for brunch and margaritas
One of the places in the street of us is called Tirelessly – They are great. They have a large Margarita. And we get the cauliflower wings almost each time. They also sometimes have natural wine, something my wife and I are really. They are always good to make a scrambled egg for our baby that she will sometimes eat, which is a major victory.
We also like to go to THE Hermosillowhich is a bar at Highland Park which has good food. I love their cheeseburger, hot dogs and fried pickles. They have an excellent outdoor space where you can hang around with children and there are a lot of families, so you don't feel like spoiling the time of anyone with a noisy child. We also sometimes go to Mijares Pasadena for Margaritas, Chips and salsa and this classic Mexican old -fashioned kitchen.
11 am: Alternative plan? Take a hot meal
We also sometimes go to tIl Greyhoundwhich is a bar and a restaurant in Highland Park and Glendale. (Publisher's note: Glendale's location will close on January 12.) Nowadays, they have a large selection of wings and various sauces. The last time I got the hottest. I like to try whatever the “fire, extreme danger, high tension wing”, especially if I am in a new place. When we order take -out dishes, if we get Indian food or Thai food, I will put a note like: “Please do this as spicy as possible.” One of the most spicy dishes I have ever tasted was In the jitle and they compete surrounding him. It was the one I probably had four or five bites and I said to myself: “I can't manage it.” I think it may have happened only twice in my life where I say to myself: “I can't go further.”
I did a “The hot versus ” Recently with Fred Durst, who is in our film. He was suffering. They claim that we had their most spicy wing. I grabbed them when I didn't even have to do it, I would appreciate them. I say to myself “it's not so spicy”, but I looked like a clown with a large red ring around my lips.
3 p.m.: Second step of the day
In the morning and (before dinner) in the evening, we will work in a walk with the whole family. I put it in the Bjorn baby and walk in the neighborhood and look at birds and dogs and squirrels. One of Eagle Rock's really impressive parts is that she is full of nice people, so we see a lot of familiar faces and know a lot of people we meet. And my wife and I can catch up with the gossip if we want it.
4:30 p.m.: Dinner
Going out to eat twice a day, I don't know how often we do. A place that we like to go a lot is Colombo At the bottom of the rue de nous. It is definitely accessible on foot, but we generally drive simply because it is quite hilly. I love the Colombo – We have just understood our order: I like the dish of sausages and peppers, the steak, the fried mozzarella. My wife tends to make makeup pasta with angel hair, garlic and butter. And then if I can manage it, I will get a cocktail martini.
6 p.m.: At home progressive home
Hopefully baby had dinner food. Otherwise, we're going to make him a little something. Maybe we allow ourselves to watch a little television, we all together. Right now, she is really in the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse”. She will also look at “Mrs. Rachel”. And then we will prepare her for the bed and read a few stories and sing a few songs. And then depending on our level of exhaustion, we will sometimes have friends who come to play at Quiplash or something like that.
Usually we will just try to watch a film on demand or rent one. We are very bad to finish them the same night. It almost always takes two days, to the point that sometimes we pay twice to look at it.
Right now, we are in the Christmas area, so we are likely to start revisiting the Christmas classics: there is this 1970s animated film that Rankin / Bass called “” Twas at night before Christmas “which is a broken clock, mainly. And I love “a Garfield Christmas”. I'm also a fan of love, in fact. “And there is always a black and white Christmas film that I have never seen, so sometimes we will find something old but new for us.
8 p.m.: The YouTube rabbit burrow before bed
I like to take a shower (before going to bed) and sometimes I will continue Baseballreference.com And discover some baseball players. It's just something to study constantly for competition with my friends.
I can really entertain myself on the internet for several hours. Recent research on YouTube was “Christmas specials from the 80s”. I am really obsessed with the idea that there are all these specials broadcast on television that have just become lost media, they are not on DVD or streaming or something like that. “Flash Beagle” was a cartoon by Charlie Brown from the early 80s which was a parody of the film “Flashdance”. Snoopy is in a dancing banner and for any reason, I am obsessed.
