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, hello Justin.

Justin: Hello, Diana. You have a very, very mischievous look on your face on this Friday.

Diana: I am a little bit mischievous today.

Justin: You are? Why is that?

Diana: Well, Friday Faves first of all is my favorite.

Justin: It is. We love Friday, we love Friday Faves.

Diana: Every week. And we have been talking about…we’ve been going around with our staff, team members and the gang and sharing their favorite things, kind of focusing on one person every week.

Justin: We’ve done pretty much everyone now I think. Except me.

Diana: Except you.

Justin: You probably changed the questions all up too, didn’t you?

Diana: Well, I’ve got some of the standard ones that we’ve been talking about and then I’ve got some surprise ones.

Justin: This is going to be good. This is totally on the fly. This isn’t like Rachel Ray, folks where she knows all the questions before they…it’s like a surprise, like a secret. No.

Diana: I did not submit these ahead of time.

Justin: I’ve not seen these. I have no idea.

Diana: There’s your disclaimer.

Justin: Here we go.

Diana: All right. What is your favorite toy that you played with as a kid that you’d love to own again?

Justin: Legos. Legos.

Diana: Quick.

Justin: I think about it all the time.

Diana: You think about it all the time?

Justin: I do. Well, with the Lego movie. The Lego movie’s out now. And I have a lot of students, I still teach private lessons and I have kids that talk about those.

Diana: Have you ever stepped on a Lego?

Justin: Oh, yeah. Many times. I’m not a whiner. I’m not a whiner. I love my Legos to the end.

Diana: Okay, I’ll leave one out.

Justin: I will stand on my Legos if I have to.

Diana: All right, well. Good.

Justin: Especially the castle, the medieval Legos. Love those.

Diana: You like the kits…

Justin: So much fun.

Diana: …you build certain things?

Justin: Absolutely.

Diana: Okay, good to know. What is the favorite state you’ve ever visited and why?

Justin: The favorite state I’ve ever visited. That’s a tough one. Colorado is nice. Colorado is nice. It’s very picturesque.

Diana: I think that’s the one said. Maybe we should go there.

Justin: We’ve never been there together.

Diana: We’ve never been together.

Justin: Ironically but It’s a great state. Put that on top of my list I guess.

Diana: Cool. What is your favorite animated movie? It can be more about cartoon animated or CGI.

Justin: I don’t know. That’s a tough one because when I was a kid we had animated shorts and stuff. I’m that old. We didn’t really do long animated features. We had a few Disney films. But I don’t even remember when I was…I didn’t watch Disney films so I’m going to say something like Despicable Me.

Diana: That was a good one.

Justin: That was fun. We saw that together. That’s a good one.

Diana: It’s a good one. Here are a few surprise questions. This is basically you have to choose one or the other. Car or truck?

Justin: Depends on what you’re using it for.

Diana: No, no. Pick one.

Justin: Car.

Diana: Hot weather or cold weather?

Justin: Cold weather. I like cold weather.

Diana: Spicy food or sweet food?

Justin: Oh my goodness. Both. One or the other?

Diana: You have to choose one or the other.

Justin: Okay, okay. Sweet. I want a cinnamon roll thing right now. I have to have one every day. It’s ridiculous.

Diana: They are very good. And would you rather travel or stay at home?

Justin: You know, I used to say “stay at home” but I really like traveling now and that’s been something you’ve turned me over a different leaf. The power of a good woman right there, teaching me things about myself I didn’t know.

Diana: Well, Justin thank you very much for answering those questions today.

Justin: Absolutely. That was a lot of time.

Diana: Until next time.

Justin: Oh, yeah. Until next time.
