What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

BC: Recently it would have to be rainbow sherbet, just because of the tanginess and the variety — you get three in one.
MS: Gold Medal Ribbon from Baskin Robbins because it’s vanilla, chocolate and caramel — the best of all worlds.
If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?
BC: India. I love Indian food. I love the music and I love the fashion. I’d like to go over there and explore and see the origin of the stuff that I like.
MS: Scotland. It looks beautiful and there are castles. I love Scotch and my favorite movie is Braveheart.
What’s the best piece of advice anyone’s given you?

BC: Metaphorically, if you get knocked off the horse you’ve got to dust yourself off and get back on — don’t get discouraged.
MS: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” — Ben Franklin. Though he obviously didn’t give me that advice personally.
If you won the lottery what’s the first thing you’d buy?
BC: You’ll have to look this up, but I’d buy a Nudie suit. Nudie is actually a fashion designer, not a nude-looking suit. They’re based out of Nashville and they’re these really ornate custom-made suits with different details designed into them, like a phoenix on the back of the jacket made out of rhinestones. It’d be like my bling-suit, ya know? It’s classy.
MS: First, I’d take a date out to a really nice dinner, then treat my best friends to a good-sized bar tab. I always like to share and celebrate with my friends and family.
What was your favorite toy as a kid?
BC: I got into music at a really early age so I was obsessed with guitars and records. I remember playing with these battery-operated 4x4 trucks, and I liked playing with those because they could drive over anything.
MS: A basketball. I had basketball courts near my house growing up and could play by myself, with friends or with random people. It always kept me entertained
when I wasn’t playing baseball. You never grow out of sports like you do with traditional toys.
