 Hey to everyone that usually watches us on the yes network We're so sorry that we can't bring you the usual content that we bring you with Yankees baseball and next basketball But we're gonna try to do our best to entertain you during these crazy times So my good friend Sarah Kustak in New York Sarah. How you doing everyone? I think that's it I'm doing very well and healthy and safe. I'm inside. I'm getting to talk to you So what can be better? What day of the quarantine is this for you now? Oh I just you're gonna ask me what day the week this was I was gonna go with that next because it looked like you were trying to figure it out It is I Started staying in and not leaving the house. I would say eight. It's much is it Monday? It's Monday. So Last so like eight. I'm on eight Have you officially lost your mind yet? Oh? No, I'm trying to make this a time where I'm connecting with myself Get a chance to FaceTime talk with friends talk with family as you know, we're always so Insanely busy running around with so much stuff and trying to take care of work obligations And so many other things that we enjoy and we love and I know that everyone this is But I try to use this as a good time to talk to everyone FaceTime with a bunch of people Read a lot. I love to read. I get made fun of for that quite a bit I got to my TV and will watch all the shows and movies that I angle has put on my list I'll get to that. I feel like we have plenty of time So it's been good. What about you? What is where are you at? What day of the quarantine you're down you're down at your home in Florida, correct? So I'm in Clearwater, Florida, and I'm just self quarantining. I did go out of the house yesterday I haven't been told that I needed to stay in but I've just been trying to do my part like the CDC recommends social distancing If you can stay home stay home not only for yourself, but really for the good of everyone else But yesterday I had been in about a week And then I decided yesterday I was gonna venture out to get some food for the week and Stock up a little bit so I wouldn't then have to go back out for a while If I didn't have to with the exception of going on my balcony or maybe going for a walk in the area So I went to Target, right? Animals animals Sarah. I've never seen anything like it Outside or in the target in the target and they actually had four security guards with stanchions in front of them and They're talking about Roaming wild animals you take no, I'm imagining people with their dogs and cats No, there are no actual animals the humans were acting like animals. That's what I'm saying I was like what I was like, what are these people doing? But they actually had and and give the Clearwater target credit because they they saw that there would be a problem with Everybody raiding the shelves trying to buy up everything so they had like the disinfectants here They had paper towels no toilet paper and then they had something else and you were allowed to go up and pick one and Then they would hand you the product so as to not hoard so everyone could potentially Get something that they really need so hopefully nobody is hoarding out there. Just get what you need What isn't a shortage? You know how many so they would hand it to you or they just try it's like when you put out the Halloween candy in The front of your house at home and please just take one type of thing or they were actually physically handing us out I'm Yeah, they were handing it out and people were getting upset that they couldn't get more than one and I'm like come on people It'll be okay. Like it will be fine So have you been speaking going shopping and getting even cooking a lot? What are you even eating? Do you have essentials that you feel like you need in your home in order to? feel comfortable So I actually ordered on Amazon Toilet paper and paper towels before all of this happened not that I was you know Thinking this is all going to happen It just happened to be that time where I needed those things and I always buy them Off of Amazon just because it's easier. So I had just purchased stuff on there So I'm good on the toilet paper and paper towel front. Thank goodness. And then as far as food is concerned I eat a lot of Like produce vegetables and whatnot to have been cooking a lot I don't really eat so I've been doing a lot of like vegan cuisine and I think tonight is going to be I'm looking over here Like somebody's gonna tell me what I'm gonna be making. There's nobody here Tonight, I think I'm gonna make Vegan Pad Thai with butternut squash noodles. Oh Have you been putting me will you are you someone who will put these recipes on your Instagram or on Twitter or share? Yeah, I haven't yet But I guess I could because I have all the time in the world now There's no reason why I couldn't but the problem is I never follow a recipe I kind of see what's in the fridge and have an idea of what I want to do and then hope for the best That's my recipe. I like that attitude. Yeah, so what about you? Do you have everything you need and you've been ordering delivery or how's it going? No, I've been cooking a lot again I'm trying to use this because it's through the course of the season or sometimes it's not as easy to make a More elaborate dish or meal or try different recipes. So I've been cooking quite a bit. I've been using Amazon product like the Whole Foods. There's a Whole Foods right down the street So they do the deliveries which has been great. So I've been trying to I've been we talked to so much of our Nets medical staff prior to this or just when everything was starting to pick up and we're still on the road trip and People were saying all the right things of course and all the messages put out about washing your hands and being safe and all those type of things But they said the other big thing make sure you're putting food things in your body to help your immune system So I took that to heart and say that I don't normally try any healthy But so no a lot of similar to you like produce fruits things like that trying to cook trying to make some different things Yeah, but I find when you're in your house and you're just in your house with all this food Making things I'm like who can I give this to who can I send this off to and that's not part of but But it's been good. I feel like I'm stocked up I'm just appreciative like that. You see what is happening all around the world. What people are going through Just appreciative that from your house have what to need Yeah They so yeah, it's been alright, but my cooking my I always tell my friends that I in a good cook And I don't think they always believe me now. I'm trying now. I'm starting to like send the pictures send the recipe I think I think it's kind of a little bit now Is there one cheap thing that you bought or one like thing that maybe you normally wouldn't eat But you're like meh. I'm stuck at home. I'm gonna get that No, you see if I get it and it's here at home, then it's gone and like to say I Zero self-employment things are in front of me So I tried not to get that stuff if anyone that's around, you know, I have a very big sweet tooth And I wouldn't even say there's like you start putting desserts or different things in front of me Fried all of it and I'm in on all of it and it never lasts long So I've taken the approach and it's not in the house then I Can't have it but I don't know girl. There's there There's a lot though. I feel like I told you I'm on the day eight what eight or nine. I think we may have some time Anything for you anything that Nothing too wild so I think I told you this last time we spoke Sweeney Mertie who works for WFAN His daughter DC sells Girl Scout cookies every year and I used to be a Girl Scout. Were you ever a Girl Scout? No, I was not but you know a lot of Girl Scout cookies. I could talk you through every one of them so I Was I was a big supporter of Girl Scouts who provide cookies still am So I blame Sweeney for this, but I used to be Girl Scout I like to support the organization Sweeney does a really nice job of bringing her around to see women in different positions and try To show her that you know girls can do whatever they want to do and I order a bunch of cookies every year and I ordered I think ten or eleven boxes not for me But I usually leave them in the press box at George M. Steinbrenner field give them to some of the workers Kind of just hand them out like it's Girl Scout Christmas, right? Well, they came and everything had already ended So now I just have ten boxes of Girl Scout cookies sitting on my dining room table First I want to know which are your favorite Girl Scout cookies you guys not at the Samoas The light short are you into the shortbreads the the peanut butter sandwich ones aren't there some lemon I They're all here. I guess I could theoretically tried them all, but I don't want to I think the thin mints because they're the classic But the Samoas I actually so of the ten boxes. I've been here When when did they the 12th they canceled everything? What day are we at now 12th 23rd? So 11 days I Opened the Samoa Sarah. I had A lot of Samoas here the we may not be talking anymore. They they wouldn't last past 30 minutes Not as good as I remembered though Whoa, yeah, I had like to enclose the box that was it Wait, what? Maybe because they've been sitting there for a while put them in the fridge try it out again So what else what else this week so it is Monday I'm thinking about it. What's not how of you have you been organizing your week a certain way Have you been approaching things in terms of any type of to-do lists on a day-to-day basis? How have you been trying to somewhat keep things normalize while saying it? I've been doing a lot on social media as you know So that's been taking up some time aside from that I have a list of things that I would like to do and need to do But I have done none of those things. One of them is cleaning out my closet, which Haven't even made an attempt yet. How about yourself? Uh, yeah, no, I I feel like those are the type of little bit cleaning out the closet and making sure the apartment's clean Um, I have I I'm in like three different book clubs right now. Um, one of those with our good friend Jeanette Coakley um And who is has got us in line of like the next five books. We're gonna read but in all of them That's that's been a big part of what I've been trying to do Um writing some like, you know a lot of big part of our job A lot of what we always have to do is about speaking. It's about writing It's about researching so just trying to I feel like there's got some Great games on or great things like that to still try and keep in touch with I will get to the tv shows At some point I've been trying to stay active and work out and um, that's been a big push With in in our world We're in the nba and the junior nba big push just about how do you still stay active or for young kids and their homes Different ways to do exercises or still work out. Uh, so I've been trying to be creative with that just The more you can move the more it helps keep you mentally balanced Um, I saw I saw you post a workout the other day that looks pretty intense. Where'd you get the workout? Uh, I was kind of that's funny. Uh, uh, angel gray who is the Portside recorder for the Cleveland Cavaliers had started. I feel like there's a lot of challenges going on around here I'll toss them your way whether it's push ups, whether it's workouts Um, so that was just kind of that's what I mean Like getting creative just making things up. Um, we all see different workouts on whether it's online You can find a bunch and so yeah, so that was something so it was through a challenge and then this was a challenge 10 other people and I How many of my friends which I've tried to kind of check off social media The timing have checked off because I think one person actually did it and then Passed along so it didn't work But no, that's not a big part. I think for as much as we Listen to what's being said and help experts out there. It's such an important thing this time Which first of all huge shout out to all the doctors and nurses. Thank you professionals and staff and everyone who actually is on the front lines Try and keep us healthy and safe and goodness. We are so appreciative for that So the least that the rest of us could do Um is to try and do our part and stay inside and so I think a lot of those things You know help help to keep your balance help us to remember of finding ways just to Steal stay creative stay active stay informed and educated. Um, and it's it's it's not as Do that's aren't people like are you going crazy? It's like, no This is the least if this is the hardest thing I have to do all the alright. You just I hope that That morning. Yeah Um, I saw a workout the other day. Actually, you've mentioned the push-up challenge I have about five of those to do I haven't done any of them yet because I was like bombarded with them I'm like, gee how many people are going to challenge me to this? Wait, will you do 50? Will you individually respond to everyone? Or just swipe it all through? Pass out the names would be done I could probably Not like 50 in a row. I don't think I'll probably do them individually. I'm not huge on posting That on instagram though. So I gotta I gotta figure that out I'm gonna figure out if I'm gonna post it or not But I like that people might just be receiving a video of text of me doing push-ups I like that. Oh, really? That's a good it's interesting. Is this a part of your instagram approach? No, I don't know. I just like I usually I don't know. Maybe I could start I also saw something on Well, I just feel like I get bombarded with stuff and then if I don't respond to everybody I don't want anybody to feel bad and then I don't want to make anybody else do stuff that they don't want to do So, I don't know Overthinking it a little bit overthinking 101 walk warranty Um, also I saw this I feel like this is something you could get down with I saw somebody doing a pretty sick workout with a book Like a hardcover book using it under your feet to essentially Yeah So like if you're how do I explain that sense? So like you can like use it on the carpet and You could use it like as an ab roller kind of deal sliding back and forth Or you can put it under your feet and use it like that Yes, I saw that there are so many creative things out there You can use a block because it slides a little easier on the book, but also paper plates someone Next time we do this it will actually have the handles or the post But you showed a whole set of workouts you do with the things inside your home. So whether it's paper plates using that Books you can use water bottles as weights I like it I like that though. I'm into that Other than that man just been Been hanging out hanging out reconnecting. I don't Really call people anymore strictly facetimes Because I have nothing to do Yeah, have you I don't know I'm um, I I'm not a huge phone person or I didn't used to be I should say and now I've found bless their hearts and I love I'm so thankful It makes you realize just how thankful for you are for the friends and family people in your life that are so good to you Um, but they're literally all hours any hour anytime. I feel like five a.m Two in the morning Ten at night people just face like now it's just so common like normally when you're in your own home Feel like you could do whatever look however be however And now it's just a constant barrage and since they know you're in your house And don't really have anything else to do I continue to get face on face on face time text Why aren't you picking up? I know you're just home and you gotta know it's huge Use you were in the shower for like 10 minutes I tried to say which I have been shutting my phone off quite a bit just to like Disconnect and do whatever you need to do However, I find that now bless their hearts people are getting really irritated with me if I don't pick up my phone right away Or that's yeah There there was a funny social media post Instagram, so I was talking to the kids Normally you'd be like, okay. I gotta go to get off the phone. I gotta run or I got something and really It I've done that a couple times. I've been like what what are you gonna do where you what do you have and I got no answer Yeah, well, that's that's a tough part. You then can't get off the phone because really there's at some point in time You're like, all right. I don't just don't want to do this anymore I don't really want to talk to you anymore Yeah, but it's good. It's fun. It makes it nice Like I said, it's nice to actually have plenty of time to connect people That I don't know so it's good On a yes network related note. Yeah Did you got your yes university mug? No, it's a very prestigious university wait Can I call flip now? Wait, how did I not get a morning actually called John's eagle probably has them The only yes type mug or cup I have is the eye eagle The 25 years the eye and eagle day mug, which I use all the time It's actually more of a um Like a to-go to-go mug. Is that what we call them? Um classic, but no Oh girl now. I'm wondering What the reason is that I didn't get it and am I not No, no, you've probably already graduated and don't even know it They had to push some people through I think there might have been some credit issues for some of the people I'm just kidding. Uh, but it's our baseball promo this year.
