Date Spot of the Week: Brasserie Fouquet's (Tribeca)

“Brasserie Fouquet's is a swanky spot in Tribeca where you may very well run into Tom Brady and Irina Shayk while enjoying escargot, beef tartare, or even a simple yet delicious cheeseburger. Just make sure that someone else pays for this meal as it will burn a hole in your pocket but the vibes are incredible.”- The Yellow King

Jersey of the Week: Colorado Rockies City Connect

Watch of the Week: Goodfellas (1990)

Key Players:
Martin Scorsese
Ray Liotta
Rober De Niro
Joe Pesci
27 different actors from the Sopranos

After finishing the Sopranos, I had a mob-sized hole in my heart, which caused me to finally watch the movie I’ve been getting yelled at for years for not having had seen. It feels ridiculous to pitch a movie that 99% of people have already seen, but if you haven't, this is your sign to do so. Now go home and get your f*cking shinebox.

Song of the Week: Summer Snow by Lou Christie (1963)

Wisdom of the Week: A quick breakdown of the book “Bad Therapy” by Abigail Shrier that discusses the dangers created by the modern overemphasis of therapy

Monday Motivation: Get used to doing the hard things and it eventually becomes like breathing

Fan Question of the Week: If you could have gone to any school other than Bucknell, what would it be?

There are a whole laundry list of schools that I could easily say that I would love to do a semester at, but I have to factor in boring stuff like quality of education and mental/physical well-being 🙄 

For that reason, 17 year old Blake would have taken his talents to SMU:

-Good demographic
-Good education
-Ton of fun apparently
-Good weather year round
-Not toooo far from home (same length flight as the drive from Bucknell)

Hoss or Toss: Voice Memos

Hoss: Texting can get so impersonal; its nice to hear people’s voice and the best alternative to a phone call if either party is busy.

Toss: Texting is great because of how passive it is; you can multitask / respond whenever you’d like. Voice memos force you to drop what you’re doing and can sometimes be an inconvenience.

Last week’s results:
Drinking at the movies:
Hoss: 25%
Toss: 75%
