Now that the boring stuff is out of the way…here are some things you probably never knew, and didn’t know you wanted to know about us!
Q: What do you have an unhealthy relationship with Larry?
A: LOL Is it really un-healthly to love a team as much as I love the Steelers? If I could be yellow and black I would!
Q: What’s your favorite sports movie, since you brought up the Steelers?
A: The Hoosiers (1986) its a classic. If you don’t know it, go watch it right now… I’ll wait…
Q: One more sports question, you mentioned the Steelers, are there any other sports teams you follow or obsess over?
A: No I don’t obsess over anyone else, just the Steelers. But I do go out of my way to cheer on the VA Cavaliers when I can.
Q: You brought up some classics earlier with your favorite sports movie so we have to ask, what is your favorite Chuck Norris movie?
A: Ohh… that’s a tough one…there are so many good ones. I think Missing in Action is my favorite though.
Q: Well with one epic star down we must ask about Burt Reynolds, do you have a favorite of his?
A: Oh that is even harder…I think I have to go with The Longest Yard. I could probably recite lines from that one I have seen it so many times.
Q: While we are on the topic of things to watch obsessively, what is your go to binge show?
A: Hard to pick one, but I usually go to The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad – they are both epic though.
Q: Let’s talk about food, now that entertainment is out of the way, what do you love to eat?
A: That is an easy one, a fully loaded Carolina dog. I love it with all the fixings, if I have to eat it with a fork and knife it’s perfect!
Q: A fork and knife for a hot dog?
A: I have a beard…it gets messy with my messy dog.
Q: Why not just shave the beard off and you can leave the fork at home?
A: I can’t shave it off – for one thing my face would be cold and for second my kids wouldn’t recognize me. Plus I have a beard because women and children don’t.
Q: Since we are talking about messy food, are you and East Carolina BBQ guy or West Carolina BBQ guy?
A: Has to be west all day long…wait there exists East Carolina BBQ? Just kidding, but still West hands down.
Q: So now we are getting to the good stuff…what is your guilty pleasure?
A: I don’t know if I should say…this is going on the website? I love to sing out loud to Adel – I think I am pretty good, she took lessons from me. If you see me talking to myself in the car, I am just signing along with Adel making sure she hits the notes right.
Q: What is something you hate?
A: I hate Pants, Ties, and Jackets – if you ever see me in this set up run because something is wrong.
Oh that’s funny! We will have to keep an eye out for that!
Q: Last question, what is your version of hell?
A: I am a cut to the chase kind of guy so I am going to have to say never ending small talk with Michael Bolton on in the background…yeah that would probably be a great torture mechanism for me.
Q: What do you have an unhealthy relationship with Erik?
A: This may surprise you, but I am totally obsessed with salads – more specifically, salad dressing.
Q: Let’s talk about food, would it be safe to say salads are your favorite thing to eat?
A: This may be surprising to you, but I really love meat…More specfically I really love beef bone marrow. You have to cook it just right and it is considered a delicacy in many places because it is so melt in your mouth good.
Q: I didn’t see that coming! But since we are talking food, are you and East Carolina BBQ guy or West Carolina BBQ guy?
A: I’m with Larry on this one, only one type of BBQ exists and that is West Carolina BBQ.
Q: Sorry Eastern BBQ fans. Sounds like you are not living till you have Western BBQ. Now that I am hungry… let’s talk about entertainment. LOL What’s your favorite sports movie?
A: While I agree that the Hoosiers is a great classic movie, I am all about the North Dallas 40 (1979).
Q: Speaking of sports, do you have a favorite sports team?
A: I love when Cleveland plays the Steelers so I can cheer on Cleveland – it irritates the crud out of Larry which I find marginally entertaining. Then again I really enjoy all the Cleveland teams – they are all great! I do mix it up by cheering on the Hawk Eyes too.
Q: Action should be your middle name! With that in mind, are you related to Chuck Norris? Kidding. But we do want to know, what is your favorite Chuck Norris movie?
A: I have to go with Lone Wolf McQuade. That’s a classic Chuck Norris movie – and no, I’m not related but you wouldn’t tell by looking at me.
Q: Well with one epic star down we must ask about Burt Reynods, do you have a favorite of his?
A: I agree with Larry on this one but I also love Smokey and The Bandit.
Q: While we are on the topic of things to watch obsessivly, what is your go to binge show?
A: Have you ever heard of Brock Myer? That is my go to binge show and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t yet seen it.
Q: Since we are talking about binge worthy things… What is your guilty pleasure?
A: I love Elton John – but the 70’s stuff, the 80’s stuff is to tame. His 70’s music is on most of the time in my house.
Q: What is something you hate?
A: I am with Larry on this, I hate Pants, Ties, and Jackets – I only ever wear the three together when I have to be in court or I am meeting someone for the first time.
Q: You also have a beard, and that is unexpected from an attorney. So why do you have a beard?
A: I have one because I’m a man and that is what men can do that women and children can’t!
Q: Last question, what is your version of hell?
A: I am am going to be totally honest – Disney – it scares the hell out of me and with Peter Cetera’s classic 70’s and 80’s music on loop. I’m with Larry – this would be a great torture idea. Don’t get any ideas!
