Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa reminisce about the end of daylight savings time, a moment that brings back fond memories for Consuelos.
As the New York City Marathon approaches on Sunday morning (Nov. 2), Ripa and Consuelos recall the end of daylight savings time, which also occurs this weekend.
Ripa asks, "Are we falling back? Is that right?" Consuelos chimes in, "How many runners [will] not show up on time" due to the time change. Ripa counters, "They’ll wake up earlier anyway."
She explains, "You know how we get that extra hour, but we never use it because our bodies are so conditioned to wake up at the insufferable hour that we don’t really feel the benefit of that extra hour until we’re starving at 4 p.m. and can’t figure out why."
Consuelos smiles as he remembers this night ahead of gaining an hour as being "a big party night."
"I remember in Tampa, you get an extra hour at the club," he adds.
Ripa replies, "Take us back to the day."
After being reminded that we gain an hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Consuelos reiterates, "You get an extra hour at the club. Like, we gotta go home! No, we don’t."
Ripa asks, "Do clubs close in Tampa?" Consuelos confirms that the clubs in Tampa close "late," similar to New York.
Ripa jokes, "New York is like, I don’t think there is a last call." Consuelos agrees, "There is" a last call, but Ripa teases that you have to leave while they "sweep up," and they "will reopen the door in 45 minutes."
"So you go to the diner," she adds. Consuelos agrees, "Saturday night’s going to be a big night" in New York, and they plan to be asleep by nine o'clock.
