Tracey: What is your favorite spring memory?

Ben:  Favorite what memory?

Tracey:  Spring.

Ben:  I used to do this program called “Odyssey of the Mind”, which I’ve actually been able to work with recently.  It’s a non-profit organization for kids, that’s like, you do performing, they give you these problems that you solve in one minute.  Like very creative, it’s a creative problem solving competition.  And, I used to go, they have regions, world, state.  And at world, they have like, 56 countries that come out.  World competition used to be like, the coolest thing, on the planet.  You’d go in there and you’d trade facts with all these different states and countries.  And one of the songs, actually on the record talks about that.  It’s a song called “What You Deserve”.  I met this girl named Katie, and we never, we were so young, but we met, and we were like “Oh my gosh you’re so cool”, but then we never swapped information.  And it’s kind of a song, that just talks about one day I hope she hears that song and can contact me because of it.  Because, whatever, you know just stuff like that.  I would say world competition, because it’s like this thing that I looked forward to every year.  Whether my team went to world or not, I still went because it was such a good time.  It would be specifically like Iowa or Colorado or Washington D.C.  It was always some place different.

Tracey:  That sounds awesome.

Michelle:  Cool.

Tracey: And for the final question, is there anyone you would like to give a shoutout to?

Ben: That I’d like to give a shoutout to?  How about everyone?  I think, honestly, just all of the fans that have been there from day one, all the new one’s, everybody that’s been supportive.  I really can’t thank everybody enough.  Honestly, like I told you before, this whole thing, since I started performing, I guess quote unquote professionally has been the time of my life.  And it would not be possible without them.  I just love seeing them wherever I go.  So thank you all very much, I’ll just leave it in that direction.
