Meet the Press: Not Just for Early Birds
So, you want to know what time Meet the Press is on in Los Angeles? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into a world of time zones, political pundits, and the age-old question: Why does the East Coast get all the good shows first?
The West Coast Woes
Let's face it, we West Coasters are a patient bunch. We wait in line for everything – from avocado toast to concert tickets. So, it's no surprise that we also have to wait for our dose of Sunday morning political talk shows.
Meet the Press airs at a sweet time of 9 AM Eastern Standard Time. Now, for those of us living in the land of palm trees and perpetual sunshine, that translates to a slightly less appealing 6 AM Pacific Standard Time. Cue dramatic sigh.
How to Survive a 6 AM Start
Okay, so you’re determined to catch the show. Here are some tips to survive the early morning ordeal:
- Embrace the Caffeine: Your best friend will be a strong cup of coffee (or three).
- Find a Cozy Spot: Curl up on the couch with a soft blanket and your favorite fuzzy slippers.
- Mute the World: Turn off your phone and enjoy some peaceful, uninterrupted TV time.
- Invite Friends Over: Make it a social event with brunch and political banter.
- Record It: If you're really struggling, set your DVR and catch up later.
