Justin: Welcome to MPA’s Tech Table. I’m Justin.
Diana: And I’m Diana.
Justin: And we’re your hosts. We’ll be serving up a heaping spoonful of all things tech.
Diana: We promise it’ll be easy to digest. Well, it is Friday.
Justin: It is Friday, and we’re going to talk about our faves. We always have Friday Faves, which if you’re checking things out on Twitter, that would be #ff for Friday Faves.
Diana: Yes. I always think that means french fry.
Justin: That sounds good, too. I’ll take that.
Diana: I was a waitress for several years, and that’s how I always abbreviated french fries if somebody ordered them.
Justin: There you go. Well, that sounds right to me.
Diana: Which is one of my favorite things. I love french fries!
Justin: There you go. There you go. So today, as always, you go around the office and you collect information. You’re giving me hand gestures. You think I just cut you off! Didn’t you?
Diana: Well, you just went right past that one.
Justin: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Would you like to say something?
Diana: No, no, I’m good.
Justin: I’m sorry. My apologies if I ever cut you off. Just hit me next time instead of making hand gestures.
Diana: Oh!
Justin: Luckily, those hand gestures were appropriate.
Diana: Of course.
Justin: Oh, don’t “of course” me! Just kidding. All right, so Friday Faves. You go around the office and harass, I mean, ask the staff questions about their favorite things.
Diana: We’re on a roll today! Yes, I do.
Justin: So, what do you have? What, today?
Diana: So, this is a series, kind of, I guess you would say, called If You Had to Choose.
Justin: Oh, a series!
Diana: Yes.
Justin: Like, this is going to continue for a couple weeks?
Diana: Yeah, I’ve got a couple. Yeah.
Justin: So, we should have an official thing, like some official music.
Diana: If You Had to Choose, Choose, Choose.
Justin: That’s right.
Diana: Yes, okay. I’m trying to do effects with my voice.
Justin: That was great.
Diana: So, basically what I did was give a this or that.
Justin: Sure.
Diana: And I had a couple different ones with our staff this week. So, we’re going to start with Donnie.
Justin: Okay.
Diana: And I said, “Donnie, if you had to choose, would you pick a car or a truck?” And he said car. Well, that’s what he drives.
Justin: There you go. Absolutely.
Diana: I guess that makes sense. And then I said, “Donnie, hot or cold weather?” He said cold.
Justin: Yeah, Donnie likes cold weather. I know that. He lost a bunch of weight. He will not like the cold.
Diana: It’s true.
Justin: He will be cold next year, with all the weight he’s lost. Congrats to him, by the way. But he will not enjoy the cold as much.
Diana: Yeah, he has lost a lot. And then finally, I asked, “Spicy or sweet food?”
Justin: Ooh!
Diana: I would almost think he’d say sweet. But he said spicy.
Justin: All right, so then John, the technician.
Diana: If You Had to Choose.
Justin: Yes. Car or truck? He loves his pickup, you know, and he also has a Camaro, though, that he likes.
Diana: Oh. So, he can’t choose.
Justin: No, he can’t choose, apparently.
Diana: He can’t play by the rules.
Justin: Oh! No, he can’t. And then, hot or cold? And John says, “Hate being too hot and hate being too cold.”
Diana: My goodness.
Justin: John is kind of indecisive, it appears, here.
Diana: He’s just not giving us a straight answer.
Justin: And then, on the next one, too. He says, “Love both spicy and sweet food.” So, John was just being indecisive.
Diana: My goodness, John.
Justin: That’s not working. How about Jodie?
Diana: If You Had to Choose.
Justin: She’s a designer. She’s an artsy, artsy kind of gal.
Diana: So, she can choose.
Justin: She can choose. So, she says car for car or truck. She wants a car. There you go.
Diana: Even though I think she’d pick SUV.
Justin: Yeah, probably SUV. There you go. Hot or cold weather?
Diana: She went with the hot.
Justin: Yeah, I can see that. She seems like she’d like that time of year. Spicy or sweet food? Of course, she said sweet.
Diana: Sweet. Sweet.
Justin: Absolutely. And then we asked Chris. Car or truck? He said car. Hot or cold weather? Hot. And spicy or sweet food? Spicy.
Diana: He likes the spicy.
Justin: Which I knew that about him. So, if you asked me, I would choose both car and truck. I want them both. Hot or cold weather? I live in Iowa, so I like both. And spicy or sweet food? I like sour.
Diana: Oh, gee.
Justin: Difficult, as always.
Justin: Well, enjoy your weekend and think about what you would choose. And Diana may ask you sometime.
Diana: I might.
Justin: Until next time…
Diana: Take care.
