What foods does TSA allow travelers to bring in carry-on luggage for flights?
"Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo recently revealed how a healthy snack she had with her for a flight was flagged by airport security and led to an incident. "I had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy," Pompeo recently told Travel + Leisure. The snack food, which she had in her travel bag during a flight in March, caught the attention of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Pompeo told the magazine, and resulted in her spending an hour in a room with the bomb squad. "They said it was most likely a chemical on the packaging of these super-expensive, fancy, organic, clean sunflower seeds," Pompeo said, adding that she almost missed her flight. The revelation comes after Chloe Gray, a passenger on a flight from New Jersey to California, was stopped by TSA earlier this month for using a whole rotisserie chicken as her carry-on luggage. Gray said she was able to fly after convincing a TSA officer that it was her "designer bag." Although many foods are allowed in carry-on bags, there are a few rules travelers should know when it comes to bringing snacks on a flight. TSA guidelines state that all food must be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces and should fit inside a quart-sized bag. Most outside solid foods are permitted on flights, while liquid-based foods are typically limited to checked luggage. Examples of approved food allowed in the cabin of a plane are sandwiches, granola bars, hard cheeses, candy, baked goods like muffins or cookies, dry snacks like chips and cereal without milk, meat and fast food like pizza or fried chicken, per the TSA's website. Foods that are not permitted include yogurt, peanut butter, jams and jellies, and soups. Syrups and gravies are also considered liquid-based foods by the TSA. Breast milk, formula and baby food are permitted as carry-on items when flying, but they must be declared and could be subject to additional screening, according to the agency. Fresh fruits and vegetables are allowed on domestic flights, but international flights could vary depending on the country. Some countries could restrict fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy products. Unopened sodas less than or equal to 3.4 ounces are allowed, according to the TSA website, while open sodas will be confiscated. Alcohol is also not allowed in carry-on luggage. "TSA officers may instruct travelers to separate items from carry-on bags such as foods, powders, and any materials that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine," the website states. "Travelers are encouraged to organize their carry-on bags and keep them uncluttered to ease the screening process and keep the lines moving." Final decisions on what is permitted on flights is at the discretion of TSA officers.

Hailey Bieber's Rhode to be acquired for US$1 billion—here's what it means
US cosmetics group Elf Beauty announced it is acquiring make-up and skincare brand Rhode, founded by Hailey Bieber, in a landmark billion-dollar deal In what is regarded as one of the biggest celebrity beauty acquisitions in recent years, Hailey Bieber's make-up and skincare label Rhode has just been sold for US$1 billion. Elf Beauty announced it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rhode, a rapidly growing lifestyle beauty brand known for its collection of high-tech, everyday skincare products. According to a press release, the deal is 'comprised of US$800 million of consideration payable at closing in a combination of cash and stock, subject to customary adjustments, and an additional potential earnout consideration of US$200 million' based on Rhode's growth over the next three years. The news comes two months after Vogue Business reported that the brand hired investment banks JPMorgan Chase and Moelisto oversee the sale. In case you missed it: Brad Pitt just launched a skincare line—when will consumers grow tired of celebrity beauty brands? Founded in 2022 by Bieber and her business partners, Michael Ratner and Lauren Ratner, Rhode launched with just three products as a direct-to-consumer brand that quickly rose to prominence among beauty enthusiasts and industry watchers. While its collection of ten products is considered modest compared to other celebrity beauty brands, a report in Business of Fashion stated that the brand managed to rake up US$212 million in net sales in the latest fiscal year ending in March 2025. Rhode recently announced its entrance into physical stores, starting with Sephora US and Canada stores and in Sephora UK by the end of the year. It is no surprise that the brand quickly went viral due to Bieber's influence that started various social media trends—from glazed donut nails to Erewhon smoothies. But those familiar with Rhode will know the products that truly shot the brand into superstardom are its Peptide Lip Treatment and the instantly recognisable Lip Case. 'When I launched Rhode in 2022, I always had big dreams for the company, and the most important thing to me is to keep bringing rhode to more spaces, places, and faces globally,' Bieber said in an Instagram post announcing the acquisition. 'So today I am so incredibly excited and proud to announce that we are partnering with Elf Beauty as we step into this next chapter in the world of rhode.' Elf Beauty chief executive officer and chairman Tarang Amin told Vogue Business that this new partnership is the 'perfect marriage' for them. The American beauty group's existing portfolio currently consists of skincare brand Naturium, singer Alicia Keys's wellness brand, Soulcare, and makeup brand Well People. While Bieber continues her role as founder of Rhode, she also takes on new titles: Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation of the brand as well as strategic advisor to Elf Beauty.

'I bought water from one of world's priciest shops and was floored by cost'
A man has shared his thoughts after buying a bottle of water and some ice from Erewhon, one of the world's most expensive supermarkets, and people cannot believe the price Who would fork out a hefty sum for the crème de la crème of crystal-clear iced water? A food critic dared to splash £60 at one of the globe's priciest supermarkets to give us the lowdown. We all fancy a little indulgence every once in a while - whether it's a pampering spa day, a night out or finally purchasing that long-coveted item. For many, shelling out on top-notch food supplies is the ultimate luxury. For us Brits, Marks and Spencer or Waitrose are the go-to choices for high-end groceries, but stateside, Erewhon Market is where the posh nosh is at. With its branches scattered across California, it's also a prime celebrity spot. Carmie Sellitto, famed for his eccentric food reviews, decided to put the bottled water and circle ice cubes offered at this lavish grocer to the test, documenting his findings on TikTok to an audience of nearly a million followers. Carmie declared: "Trying the £60 water from Erewhon. Believe it or not they're selling ice for £35 and water for £25." Flashing the gigantic ice blocks – big as a baseball – Carmie queried: "Like, what is this?" After plopping one ice block into an Erewhon emblazoned mug with some Ophora water, he took a gulp. Wrapping up his take on it, Carmie remarked: "You know what, it just tastes expensive, it really does." One of his mates gave it a go as well, remarking: "That was nice mate." The review sparked a flurry of comments. One user quipped: "I'm convinced Erewhon is a social experiment,". Another chimed in with: "Erwon is a lovely shopping experience. Buy what you can afford. It's a nice atmosphere there." A shocked commenter exclaimed: "60 pounds for water and ice? That's 81 dollars American! That is such a waste of money." Another added: "This is going way too far now. Someone else questioned: "How can they sell water at this price?" "Even if I was a billionaire, I wouldn't fall for this scam," one person insisted. Another lamented: "This one makes me sad. It's just wrong on every level." However, one defender of the pricey beverage said: "It's really good, so much better than normal water, a lot of people commenting haven't actually tried it. I think it's 100% worth it, if anything it's under priced." Some pointed out that the presentation was lacking. "You ruined it in the plastic cup," one person noted. Another commented: "£60 and they give you a plastic cup. "Needs a crystal glass," one other insisted.

Here are 11 noteworthy grocery stores that set themselves apart from the standard American grocery store you should check out. Read more: The Definitive Ranking Of Grocery Store Butter Brands Amazon Go Grocery is a unique cashier-less grocery store concept in which customers shop and are charged through their Amazon account. The company recently opened its first store in Seattle, Washington, and currently has around 17 locations nationwide. The "Just Walk Out" technology is now available at over 500 Whole Foods locations, Amazon stores, and over 150 third-party stores in airports, stadiums, and convenience stores.

The store offers an array of prepared meals and ready-to-eat foods, including rotisserie chicken, pizza, and ribs, all made onsite.

Don't fret; the store is equipped with bagging stations that include reusable and paper bags for customers to reorganize and bag their goods. While you could hop on a flight to Rome to shop through the city's ancient farmers' markets, you can do the next best thing — head to Eataly. For those of you who don't know, Eataly is famous for its distinctive blend of marketplace, restaurant, and educational space, founded on the principles of Italian cuisine and culture. With 10 locations in the United States, each Eataly has its unique layout and offering. Each Eataly location features an artisan bakery producing breads, pizzas, and focaccia alongside a fresh pasta section offering homemade spaghetti, ravioli, and other pasta varieties.

You'll find a wide variety of Italian cheeses and an impressive deli station where you can order an array of Italian cold cuts. Alongside having amazing building blocks for a charcuterie board, they've got various dried pasta, legumes, olives, and tinned fish. The next time you're in a major U.S. city, see if there's an Eataly nearby and treat yourself to a good meal and a shopping cart filled with Italian goodies. Tokyo Central is a Japanese grocery chain located on the West Coast. It is a haven for anything Japanese, including fresh produce, seafood, meat, beauty items, books, and housewares. Founded in 2015 by the Marukia Corporation, the grocery store chain opened its first location in a suburb of Costa Mesa, California. Over the last decade, Tokyo Central has expanded to 12 locations across California and one storefront on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The store features an excellent grab-and-go section with hot bento boxes, freshly made tempura, ramen bowls, nigiri, sushi rolls, and onigiri. This section is a great lunch option for road trips, work breaks, or even just a snack. In addition to all the savory delights, you can find Japanese whipped cream sandwiches, fruit cups, and chewy, irresistible mochi filled with red bean paste and peanut butter. Its selection of sushi-grade seafood is astonishing. You'll find an array of precut sashimi, such as fatty otoro, grilled unagi, buttery salmon, sea bream, and octopus. If you want to practice your sushi knife skills at home, you're in luck, as it also offers a variety of whole and half sushi-grade fish ready to be made into sushi rolls. After checking the seafood section, head to the housewares department to explore their extensive collection of kitchen gadgets and appliances. Its housewares department has everything you could imagine, from rice steamers and onigiri shapers to bamboo sushi mats, chopsticks, and ceramic tea sets. If you're taking a trip to the beautiful Hawaiian islands and wondering where you should go grocery shopping for your trip, check out the iconic supermarket chain Foodland. It's the island's largest locally owned and operated grocery chain that's the perfect spot for picking up local products, fresh food, and delicious meals. Foodland has 31 locations across the islands of Kauai, O'ahu, Maui, and Hawaii'i. Foodland is well-known by locals to have some of the best poke selection on the islands. You can either buy them by the pound or in a poke bowl with steamed white rice. It has an array of different types of marinated ahi poke, including spicy mayo, shoyu, and oyster sauce, as well as salmon poke and kimchi-flavored mussels! Top it with a little bit of soy sauce and furikake, then you've got lunch! Alongside all the fresh seafood options, you get fried chicken karaage, Hawaiian mac salad, shrimp tempura, salads, spicy edamame, and various Korean side dishes. Alongside the glorious hot and cold bar, Foodland also has a handful of restaurants in various locations. The Ala Moana location has the innovative restaurant Eleven that has a creative cocktail menu, an extensive whiskey list, small tapas-style plates, and delicious desserts. If you're looking for something a bit more casual, try the Pau Hana Bar, which has craft beer on tap, simple cocktails, and local comfort food. Everyone has heard of Erewhon in recent months. The Los Angeles-based grocer has been broadcast across social media for its celebrity-endorsed smoothie collaborations, valet parking, and steep prices. This upscale grocery chain has 10 locations in Los Angeles and is currently planning to expand to three new locations in 2025. Erewhon's primary focus is to promote health and well-being by providing a curated selection of organic and ethically sourced ingredients and products. As you stroll through the polished aisles, you quickly realize it's just an ordinary grocery store, albeit with a health-conscious, curated twist. The refrigerated section is stocked with house-made bone broth, locally sourced cheeses, and vegan ice creams. You can find a variety of gluten-free flours, and nearby, there's likely a wall of glass jars filled with nuts, paleo granola, and air-dried fruits. In another aisle, a plethora of vitamins and supplements further exemplifies how the grocery store curates its products for a demographic that prioritizes a healthy lifestyle. Thinking of Erewhon, thoughts of the iconic juice bar and viral Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie may instantly come to mind. However, that's not the only offering from the store. The in-house kitchen creates a delicious variety of cold and hot foods, including coconut chicken tenders, buffalo cauliflower, and its famous crispy rice sushi sandwich. It features a mixture of wild tuna, salmon, and crab topped with teriyaki sauce. Tourists and locals across Los Angeles make a pit stop at Erewhon solely for its delectable in-house kitchen creations. If there's one grocery store in Manhattan that a local New Yorker will tell you to check out, it's probably Kalustyan's. This gourmet grocery store started in 1944 as a tiny spice shop run by Kerope Kalustyan. In 1988, he sold the store to Osmani and Sayedul Alam, who focused on expanding it and making a plethora of Middle Eastern ingredients accessible to all New Yorkers. Any ingredient you can think of, whether it be a spice or herb, Kalustyan's likely has it in stock — and if not, they'll happily order it for you. Every aisle is packed with myriad products like canned hummus, pickles, olive oil, and teas. The store is practically stuffed with endless bags of spices from around the world, from garam masala from India to black peppercorns from Ecuador. Just when you think their spice selection is impressive, take a look at the countless bottles of flavored syrups and a nut section that could easily triumph over any major grocery chain. The refrigerated section features a variety of cheeses, yogurts, and house-made labneh balls seasoned with cumin and chili oil. The store also offers cookbooks, kitchenware items, and staff members who gladly share ideas on what to make with the ingredients you've picked up. Just like how it would be a shame to miss iconic landmarks, like the Statue of Liberty, it would be an even bigger pity if you didn't pop your head into Kalustyan's on your next trip. Northgate Market is a grocery chain that focuses on Mexican and Hispanic grocery items and prepared foods. It was founded by Don Miguel González Jiménez in 1980 after immigrating from Jalostotitlán, Mexico. The first store had humble beginnings in a converted liquor store in Anaheim, California. Over time, it has expanded to 44 locations across the Southern California area. In store, you can find a wide range of produce, fresh cuts of meat including carne asada and al pastor, seafood, cheese, and other Mexican and Hispanic grocery items. At some locations, it even has a traditional Mexican bakery (or panaderia), offering breads and pastries like pan dulce, conchas, and tortas. The recently opened Costa Mesa location introduces a new concept called Mercado González, and it's worth stopping by if you're traveling through Orange County. The Mercado González location is basically a miniature amusement park for Mexican cuisine, featuring 20 puestos (or food stalls), each offering traditional and delicious food. The Churreria El Moro stand from Mexico City is a highlight -- they're frying countless batches of crispy, chewy churros alongside seven different types of hot chocolate. If you're looking for something savory, try La Tamaleria, where they're cranking out handmade tamales, or head over to Birrieria La Tapatia to taste their mouthwatering birria tacos and quesadillas. Oh, and be sure to stop by the Tortilleria La González on your way out to buy some freshly made corn and Sonora-style tortillas as a souvenir. Planning a vacation to The Motor City? If so, you should check out Papaya, the unique Middle Eastern grocery chain located in the Metro Detroit area. Established in 2002 by Khalil and Faried Saad, the company has five locations, and it has been making Middle Eastern ingredients accessible to the Detroit community ever since. The grocery store is renowned for its selection of high-quality fruits, vegetables, and Middle Eastern pantry staples. At Papaya, you can find various tahinis for your hummus, countless bottles of rose water for your desserts, and gigantic bags of basmati rice and legumes. It doesn't stop there — the dairy department has loads of delightful products like labneh and Arab-style feta. The company imports many of its Middle Eastern products from Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Turkey, and Egypt, offering a one-stop shop for various Arab delights. If you're looking for Halal-certified butchery to pick up some meat for dinner, look no further. The butchery at Papaya is completely Zahiba Halal operated, and all of its meat products are hand-slaughtered by its butchers weekly. You can find a wide range of Middle Eastern-style cuts of meat, including chicken tawook, beef shawarma, raw beef kafta, and housemade shish kebabs. You can recognize you're in a good Indian restaurant if the space is filled with families, an aroma of spices lingering in the air, and it's an inviting atmosphere — all of these qualities transfer to Patel Brothers, the largest Indian grocery chain in the United States. The company was founded by two brothers, Mufat and Tulsi Patel, who opened their first store in 1974 in Chicago, Illinois. Starting in a 900-square-foot shop, Patel Brothers has expanded to 52 stores nationwide. Patel Brothers is cherished for its extensive variety of authentic Indian and South Asian grocery items not typically found at a standard American supermarket. The store offers a plethora of teas, essential spices for Indian recipes, bags of grains like rice, dal, beans, and lentils, as well as some of the freshest produce available. They have on hand nearly every Indian ingredient, snack, and sauce you can imagine. At every Patel Brothers, an in-store kitchen and bakery create fresh buttery roti, crispy naan, and crunchy samosas. It offers delicious house-baked breads and pastries alongside traditional Indian desserts. Its frozen section is exceptional as well, offering a variety of frozen samosas, scallion parathas, creamy mango ice cream, and pakoras, ready to be re-fried. It's a great place to stop by if you want to stock up your freezer with easy meals. If you're taking a road trip to the charming southern state of Georgia, you should definitely visit the famous Your DeKalb Farmers Market, referred to by locals as "YDFM." This spacious international grocery store is located outside of Atlanta, and it's a great spot to pick up some snacks for the road or as a pit stop for lunch. The sheer size of the grocery store is truly breathtaking -- the store is over 140,000 square feet, and it is constantly bustling with activity. You can find products from over 180 countries, offering a vast array of different ingredients and products you might not be able to find at your average grocery store. Among the offerings are over 500 varieties of cheese, 60 different types of coffee (roasted onsite, of course), 700 varieties of wine, and 500 varieties of beer. The bakery at YDFM only uses organic ingredients. Every day, the store produces over 150 varieties of bread, pastries, muffins, cakes, and pies, all made in-store by their trained bakery staff. In addition to the bakery, YDFM features a large in-house food production that creates over 50 types of fresh and dried pasta. It also offers delicious prepared foods like jumbo stuffed pasta shells, quiches, mac and cheese, roasted beef pastrami, and smoked salmon. You can even customize your own pizza! If the glitz of Erewhon isn't really your scene, you should head to the North Hollywood staple, Olive Fresh Garden Marketplace. This quaint Armenian market features an array of ingredients and food from the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Caucasus region. The store is easy to locate from its bright white sign with Armenian letters and a fairly large parking lot (a rarity for Los Angeles). As soon as you walk in the doors, you'll notice the produce department piled high with citrus, grape leaves, melons, green almonds, Persian cucumbers, and plumpest cherry tomatoes in the San Fernando Valley. On the other side of the store, the in-house bakery makes some of the best Armenian-style bread and lahmajuns, a traditional flatbread topped with minced meat. Behind the fish and meat counters, the staff are constantly packaging wild boar, lamb, smoked fish, and Russian caviar for happy customers. The pastry section is every dessert lover's dream. It has a large variety of Western-style sweets like strawberry cheesecake and cream puffs. Additionally, you can discover a new world of sweets by picking up a rose water cake encrusted in walnuts or maybe freshly made ponchiks. Not into baked goods? The store has a wide assortment of single-serving and value-sized ice cream bars. Go there on a summer day and dig through the freezer to find the Soviet-style ice cream bars and fruit popsicles that are always in stock. Read the original article on Chowhound.

How to have the best Sunday in L.A. according to Terry Crews
Terry Crews is a man of many talents. In the 1990s, he played for both the Rams and the Chargers before becoming an actor and starring in projects like 'White Chicks,' 'Everybody Hates Chris,' 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'The Expendables' franchise. Other roles on his resume? Old Spice spokesman, high-end furniture designer, accomplished painter and author of a memoir. Crews was also featured in People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue three times. But the gig that has made him internationally known, he says, is hosting 'America's Got Talent' for the last six years. The show, which is celebrating 20 seasons, returns to NBC on May 27. For Crews, hosting 'AGT' is a job that suits him. 'I am a honey-baked ham,' he shamelessly admits, flashing his endearing white smile during a Zoom call. 'I like the spotlight. I've always been a dancer, so it was like this is the vibe. But then I got in there, and I was like, now I see why I love this so much. It's because every contestant reminds me of me.' We caught up with Crews to discuss his ideal Sunday in L.A. It involves walking around Old Town Pasadena, catching a movie and spending time with his wife Rebecca King-Crews and their five adult children. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. 6:30 a.m.: Wake up and hit the gym I am an early riser no matter what. Even if it's Sunday, it's like, my body clock just kind of pops up. Like when I say I sleep in late, that's 6:30 or 7 a.m. because I like to get up at the crack of dawn. I'm a 4:30 or 5 a.m. guy. Every Sunday, I start with a workout. It's very light, more of cardio and active recovery, but I never miss it. 9 a.m.: Pick up breakfast from Erewhon I've been intermittent fasting for almost 15 years, so I don't eat breakfast, but I love breakfast food. So what I do — and this is a real staple — we have an Erewhon that opened near us and it has the most fabulous cooked breakfast. It's half a store, half a restaurant. Erewhon has the best smoothies, the best pastries. Even though I don't eat until 2 p.m., I go to Erewhon and get all their breakfast stuff. I'll get the bacon and eggs, or the breakfast sandwiches [and] breakfast burritos. A lot of the time on Sundays, that's when all the kids want to stop by, so I'll bring a bunch of stuff, set it on the stove, and they go in there and I tell them, 'Leave me something.' 10 a.m.: Praise break at home My wife actually started a church. It's called the L.A. Life Church. It's like Tiny Desk meets church and she has a thing called Sonic Sundays. It's online, but we record during the week, and it's basically a half an hour with a lot of music, and then she does a lesson. We watch it together every Sunday morning when it comes out at 10 a.m. When COVID hit, it kind of changed our churchgoing habits because everybody had to do it at home, and she just decided, 'You know what? Let's just do it!' 11:30 a.m.: Hit up Old Town in Pasadena Once that's over, that's when we go down to Old Town. It's our favorite place to go. I have an office slash studio that's right off Colorado Avenue. That's where all the stores are, and my wife has a store, Rebeccca Crews, which is in Hugus Alley. My daughter works there too. So we'll walk around Old Town and I'll stop by Alfred to pick up a coffee. I get a double espresso, straight with nothing in it. We do occasionally do brunches. We really like Soho House in West Hollywood and also LA Cha Cha Chá near the Arts District. 1:30 p.m.: Breakfast for lunch If we decide to stay out, one place we love is Americana in Glendale, which is really close. I love this place called Egg Slut there. Crazy name, but man-oh-man, like I told you, I love breakfast food and they close at 2 p.m. So we have to time it out. We'll do all that Old Town running around, then we'll jump down to Glendale and usually I get there by 1:30 p.m. and I'll be their last customer, and they know me. I have a double bacon, double egg breakfast sandwich. It comes with a little ketchup on it and I get a side salad, which is like arugula and a little Parmesan and maybe a small orange juice. 3:30 p.m.: Pop over to the Americana in Glendale I love books. I have a library of books that is probably the most valuable thing that I own. I probably have like 10,000 books, so what I love to do is go to Barnes and Noble. You can't find them anymore. It's very rare and the Barnes and Noble at Americana is one of my favorite spots, because I'll get lost. You can spend literally two or three hours there. 5 p.m.: Watch a flick I'm a big movie guy, so usually on a Sunday, that's when I do my theater watching. I've been getting tickets to throwback movies. Being at home, it's OK, but I love the smell of popcorn and I love to experience the reactions of other people. When you're going to see a comedy or something scary or something weird, it's kind of like you want to feel that energy, so we go to IPIC. I'm a gold member. I'm practically a platinum member because I'm about really nice experiences. If you're going to do a theater, do it well. 7 p.m.: Enjoy my cheat-day meal Even though I do intermittent fasting, Sunday is my cheat day. When it's time for dinner, that's In-N-Out Burger time. I'll get a couple double-doubles. You know, I'm simple. Or we'll find a restaurant that everyone's been talking about. But a lot of times, they aren't open on Sunday nights. There are a few like Majordomo that my guy David Chang [owns], but other than that, it's In-N-Out Burger time. If there's a sporting event on a Sunday, I'd go to SoFi to see a football game. I was on the Rams and the Chargers, so the funny thing is, when I get invited to a Chargers game, I act like I'm the biggest Chargers fan in the world, and then when I get invited to the Rams game, I do the same thing. They both ended up in L.A., so they both claim me and I'm like yep [laughs]. 8 p.m.: Get ready for bed I go to bed early and my wife is like, 'What are we, in third grade?' [Laughs] That's why I don't like to go to the movies too late. I will never, ever go to a movie that starts at 7 p.m. cause you won't be out of there until like 10 p.m. I'm like nope! I go to bed at the latest 8:30 p.m. and my regime — something I've been doing for years and it feels so good — is I close all the curtains, make sure the room is all cool. I try my best to put the phone up. I don't want that blue light on me. I wash my face, brush my teeth, get in bed and I'll have the book of the century — whatever I'm reading — right next to the bed and my glasses. I look forward to this time cause you know where you left off, whether it's a novel or an autobiography, and you're like, I wonder what happened there? I always have to make sure I leave at a good spot. I'm the guy who gets sad at the end of a book. The same way people feel about streaming when you've gone through all 10 episodes. I'm reading a book called 'The Weight of Air' by this guy named David Poses. Oh, my God. He was addicted to heroin for years and was in and out of rehab. It's fascinating because he's so transparent and it just inspires me to be that vulnerable.
