David was nice enough to take a few minutes out of his busy schedule recently to answer a few questions from us.
1. You walk into a bar. What do your order from the bartender?
A glass of Glen Grant 50 Years Old Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky, one ice cube. Or a Shirley Temple if I’m feeling crazy.
2. Who’s your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
It’s a tie between Lena Dunham (Lena please now send me followers) and Tissot watch company (Tissot please now send me free watch).
3. What’s currently waiting for you on your DVR/TiVO?
Dust. But as soon as I get back to New York and clean it off, I’ll be watching Transparent, Sons of Anarchy, Bojack Horseman, and anything with Eddie Izzard.
4. It’s your last meal — what are you going out with?
I’m going out with a bang – a burger with truffles, fois gras, and two sticks of dynamite.
5. What websites do you visit on a regular basis?
Um, that’s what the “make browsing private” button is for! But also https://www.hudson-co.com/ for reclaimed wood, I’m obsessed, and https://www.brianscolaro.com/ when I need an irreverent laugh.
6. What’s the most frequently played song on your iPod?
I have a 5 year old, so it’s a toss up between “Love on the Rocks” by Neil Diamond or anything by rapper Waka Flocka Flame.
7. The first face that comes to mind when you think “punchable”?
Congressman Paul Ryan? Kinda smug, if you ask me.
8. What’s your favorite meme?
Oh, ha ha, OMG, the one with the talking kangaroo and that child star and the caption is sooooo funny. LOL! Nope, I made that up because I just don’t care about memes. Unless you mean Marcel Marceau.
9. Dogs or cats?
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria.
10. Best concert of your life was…?
J. Geils Band on campus at the University of Connecticut, my older brother Steve took me and it blew my mind.

South Park.
14. You have an entire day to do whatever you want. What would you do?
That’s bullshit, I have a wife and a kid, I never have an entire day to do whatev….oh I see, you mean IF that happened? I’d sleep a lot and go see a few Broadway plays.
15. What movie can you not resist watching if it’s on?
Scarface. Plus, my 5 year old loves it so it’s easy for us to just say “screw the alphabet, let’s just watch the whole thing!’

New York Yankees, LA Lakers, Detroit Pistons, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What? I travel a lot.
