A magnitude 2.5 quake struck in Charleston, Missouri, earlier this month. How would you describe your disaster preparedness?

Fair. I have food rations for about two weeks, tarp shelters, things like that. I think I could survive a few weeks in town, but I think I'd be better off in the woods where I could fend for myself.

Ice cream ...

I can't eat ice cream, I'm lactose intolerant. But last night I did find a recipe for lactose-free ice cream on Pinterest.

How good are you at remembering jokes?

"How many deadheads does it take to change a light bulb? They don't change it, they let it burn out and follow it around the country."

What would you drive if money were no object?

A '97 three-quarter-ton Ford pickup truck. Which is also the truck I drive now.

A magnitude 2.5 quake struck in Charleston, Missouri, earlier this month. How would you describe your disaster preparedness?

I would try to cover myself underneath a surface; that's what we learned in school in disaster management, and make sure you don't try to get out of the building if it's crowded.

Ice cream ...

I could live off ice cream.

How good are you at remembering jokes?

You wanna hear a joke? Donald Trump.

What would you drive if money were no object?

A Lambourghini. That's one of my dream cars.

How would you describe your disaster preparedness?

If a big enough quake was to happen, no matter how prepared you are for it, this would all be gone. This is sand.

Ice cream ...

It's pretty good.

How good are you at remembering jokes?

I'm pretty good, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

What would you drive if money were no object?

F-350 Black King Ranch with a black smoke tuner.

A magnitude 2.5 quake struck in Charleston, Missouri, earlier this month. How would you describe your disaster preparedness?

Personally, I come from a place where we don't have this stuff. We did have preparations, but not for earthquakes.

Ice cream ...

I'm not into this stuff.

How good are you at remembering jokes?

When I learned English, some letters, we don't have in my language, so my pronunciation and writing was not so good. One time I spelled pitch with a "B."

What would you drive if money were no object?

German, man. Come on. For sure.
