line of the day – ‘what I can do is just be honest’

Guest is obviously a good guy if somewhat overawed. Best moment is Mott making his directoral debut by instructing GV to ‘move the bottles’ out of the way of the guest. Who’d have thunk it?

  • Green Pea / Roger Stevens

    Rudy,

    By far the best question asked here yet.

    QOTD: As a young man my father taught me a valuable lesson that I have kept with me all of my life and will do so until my days end. It’s simple, always be a gentleman to everyone. That means holding a door for a person regardless of age or gender, answer yes mam and yes sir, lend a hand when you know you can help and so on. Often people don’t seem to appreciate those gestures anymore but that no reason to stop being a gentleman. You do so because it’s the right thing to do.

    Great show…and a very cool guest…you’re two for two this week!

    QOTD: I’m from…or I take ownership of Ellsworth, Maine as my home-town. I think what I take from Ellsworth is the values of hard work, family values, and a strong desire to present as an honest, hard-working, and trustworthy individual. I’ve juggles as many as four part-time jobs to make ends meet while going through school full time and it’s all going to pay off this May when I finish my masters. I guess that’s what I take from Ellsworth, Maine.

  • QOTD: Man, that’s a deep question. Davis, CA… Davis had great freedom. I could bike or walk all around town growing up. But, I did have two bikes stolen out of my garage (sorry Mom). I still like to explore new interests, to walk, to ride bikes, and I make sure the garage door is closed.
