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. Friday Faves Day.

Justin: Friday Faves Day, here at the Tech Table, and we’re continuing on where we left off talking about team members at MPA.

Diana: Yes, getting a little bit more personal information.

Justin: A taste of MPA. So, today we’re going to talk about Chris. Chris is in our sales area.

Diana: And creative.

Justin: And creative, and he is a talker, which is good.

Diana: Yeah, that’s true, he’s a talker. He’s also a listener.

Justin: Well, that’s true.

Diana: He’s a writer.

Justin: A thinker.

Diana: He’s a thinker. He’s pretty talented.

Justin: Oh, my goodness. What else can we say about him? Some people say he looks like Keanu Reeves.

Diana: They really do. We just heard it.

Justin: We did just hear it. I used to say that all the time. He’s a little older now, so I’m not sure I think that so much anymore. Ha! Just kidding.

Diana: Well, Keanu Reeves has gotten older, too.

Justin: Aging is good for some people, not for others. Just kidding, Chris! So, anyway, we’re going to find out a little bit about Chris here. Favorite sporting event to watch: track and field events.

Diana: I know his kids run, or a few of them do.

Justin: Right.

Diana: So, he probably likes to go see their events.

Justin: Sport to play?

Diana: Ultimate frisbee.

Justin: He loves that.

Diana: Yeah, this makes me laugh because he’s kind of a college kid at heart, I think.

Justin: I think he is, and Chris is very young at heart.

Diana: Young at heart, yeah, and ultimate frisbee is pretty well known for being a college game. Now, I consider anything the ultimate version of the game if you just have no rules. But I don’t think that’s what it means.

Justin: Right, we do ultimate radio here on Tech Table.

Diana: Right.

Justin: No rules, anything goes. His favorite tech thing that keeps him organized? I didn’t know there was anything that kept Chris organized. It’s like a roast!

Diana: His wife?

Justin: This is like a roast, right? No, I’m just kidding. His iPhone, Chris loves his iPhone. The toy you played with as a kid that you’d love to own again.

Diana: This is a cool one.

Justin: Yeah.

Diana: He says a trampoline.

Justin: I think that’s awesome. My mom would never let me have a trampoline because she thought I’d kill myself.

Diana: Right, too dangerous.

Justin: Which I probably would have. I was not exactly coordinated.

Diana: Bounced right off.

Justin: Yeah, I would’ve right away got stuck in it somehow and been, like, hanging there.

Diana: They used to be kind of scary, really, with the springs. They make them a lot more safe these day.

Justin: Sure, back when kids were kids.

Diana: What about the state he’s visited and why? So, he likes California.

Justin: His favorite state he’s ever visited is California.

Diana: Yeah, and the reason is he can go, or a person can go from beach to mountains, city to country, anything you need or want, he says.

Justin: Yeah, it’s interesting. Anything you need or want, wow, in California.

Diana: Yeah, that’s their new state slogan.

Justin: I guess I need to, I’ve been avoiding California, but maybe I need to go there.

Diana: I was there for one day.

Justin: How was it?

Diana: It was beautiful. I was in Long Beach

Justin: You were in Long Beach on top of a very swanky hotel, like at a pool on top of the hotel. This is Diana’s life. Everyone feel bad for her.

Diana: Yeah, it’s sad.

Justin: It’s a sad, sad life. Alright, and the state place you’d like to visit but never have: Washington. Interesting. Scent? Think candle or food, oh boy, think candle or food or perfume or a flower, you say. And he says sandalwood, which I agree. That’s manly.

Diana: Sure. Now, his favorite magazine, this sounds like Chris, is Wired. I think a lot of our tech people like Wired, too. His favorite animated movie, he says “Mulan.”

Justin: Let’s just all think a moment about that. Okay. “Mulan,” interesting. And his favorite sitcom is “Sports Night.” He was about the only one. Just kidding.

Diana: I’ve never seen that. So, that’s about Chris.

Justin: So, now you know a little more about Chris at the office. So, when you see him, talk to him, you’ll know more.

Diana: Alright.

Justin: Have a great weekend, and until next time.

Diana: Take care.
