Nickelodeon star Josh Peck makes huge discovery: 'I feel bad for it...'
The 38-year-old actor - who is married to Paige O'Brien and has Max, six, and two-year-old Shai with her - made the "discovery" recently that he much prefers the working week even though it might seem "weird" to others.
Speaking on his 'Good Guys' podcast, he said: "My weekend was average. A lot of kids. I had a discovery and feel bad for it, but I've felt it my entire life, and I'm just gonna embrace it. I hate the weekend. It's weird, right?"
The former 'Drake and Josh' star - whose wife is currently pregnant with their third child - explained that he is "privileged" in the sense that he doesn't have to follow a traditional pattern of employment so he able to enjoy the "structure" that he has made for himself throughout the week.
He said: "I like the weekday because...for me, the weekend would be good for one day, but granted, acknowledging my privilege, I don't have a nine to five [job] so I am abe to get done a lot of the things that people save for the weekend because with commutes and whatnot, they're busy eight to 10 to 12 hours a day. They can't get it done, so they look forward to the weekend. I just like the structure of a weekday because I'm up with my kids from six to nine and then Max goes to school, Shai , we have someone who comes in to help with Shai a couple hours a day so my wife can go for a workout or see a friend or do all the stuff she does.
"I go to work. And, by four or five, I'm home, the kids are home, we're like crushing family time til eight o'clock when the kids to bed and then it's an hour or two do whatever we want when Paige and I hang out. I like that structure and I could to that 99 percent of days.
"I also just like when the phone is ringing, when there's something to do, when there's an email to write. When that last email comes in on Friday night, I'm like 'I'm gonna see a red bubble for the next 39 hours, 47 hours..."

Growing up is the real nightmare in Pete Davidson's schlocky horror show
THE HOME ★★½ (R) 97 minutes. Horror movies tend to be aimed at young people, so it makes sense that an entire subgenre has sprung up focused on the ickiness of getting old (even The Substance has some of this, though the message is supposed to be the opposite). The senior citizens in these films may be villains or victims, but either way, they're presented as physically repulsive: feeble-minded, shrivelled up and falling apart. Effectively, they're living corpses – and should they possess any sort of vestigial sex drive, we're invited to view this as the worst horror of all. James DeMonaco's crude, though not wholly ineffective, The Home starts out straightforwardly in this dubious vein – and never entirely veers off course, although DeMonaco, best known for the similarly grisly Purge films, has a couple of surprises in store if we haven't seen the spoiler-heavy trailer. Squarely in the Generation X demographic, DeMonaco is no newly hatched prodigy. Neither is the film's star Pete Davidson, who spent most of his 20s on Saturday Night Live. Still, at 30 or thereabouts, Davidson retains his lumbering adolescent sullenness as Max, a Staten Island graffiti artist sentenced to four months of community service as caretaker of the isolated Green Meadow retirement home, an oppressive brick fortress with shadowy corridors and officious staff. Decay is omnipresent, even setting aside whatever might be happening on the fourth floor, officially off-limits where Max is concerned. Small wonder he has recurring nightmares, some of them linked to the loss of his beloved older foster brother Luke (Matthew Miniero), a trauma dating to childhood.
