Getting to know Tito and Ruben

Interview by Rob Flores, 8/16/07

(Tito Bernal is an original BAD ASS known as much for his humor as his play. Ruben Gonzalez is a chill, hard-hitting BAD ASS rookie.)

 

BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT:

 

Tito: “If you’re going to be gay, be gay” from Rob’s Dad.

It can be applied to many situations in life.

 

Ruben: “Man faces you, he is the enemy. Enemy deserves no mercy!”, from the Karate kid.   SWEEP THE LEG!

 

FOOD I ABSOLUTELY WONT EAT:

 

T: That non-FAT shit!

 

R: Leftovers. I hate leftovers.

 

FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY:

 

T:  My uncle had the RENDEVOUS channel, this was pre-HBO.

I’ll never forget when I saw my first pair of titties on TV.

Oh yeah …when I got the Millennium Falcon too. That was awesome!

 

R: When I got my first Nintendo for X-Mas. I remember opening it, and it had that

 Japanese smell. To this day when I open a new game system, that smell always reminds me of my first Nintendo.

 

MY MENTOR IN SPORTS WAS/ IS:

 

T: I guess the BASEBALL BUNCH w/ Johnny Bench. I watched that show religiously.

My Dad never taught me how to play sports; I learned them on the streets.

 

R: Me. It’s all in here. (Pointing to his head)

 

MY DREAM HOME MUST HAVE:

 

T:  A waterslide! (No hesitation)

 

R: The Gravitron. You know the Carnival ride that spins.

 

VACATION I’D LIKE TO TAKE:

 

T: A Tropical Island with hot chicks running around in coconut bras.

 

R: Tokyo, Japan 

 

FIRST CAR:

 

T: I’ll let you know.

 

R: A shitty blue Oldsmobile.

 

HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU FAIL YOUR DRIVER’S TEST:

 

T: NEVER …Never took it.

 

R: Once on the written part, but I aced the driving.

 

MY FAVORITE SCHOOL SUBJECT:

 

T: History. I am a History buff, but all my teachers were assholes.

 

R: Algebra, but only because of Miss Ferrari. Trust me the name was fitting.

She was hot and I know she was into me. She gave me a box of chocolates for

Valentine’s Day. Yeah baby.

 

 

TV SHOW I DON’T OR NEVER MISSED:

 

T: Robotech and Old school WWF Superstars on Saturday.

 

R: Raider games and Project Runway with My lady and Rob. They make me watch it.

 

FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER:

 

T: Scooby-Doo. As a child I didn’t realize this, but I do now,

Scooby’s a pot head.

 

R: Wile E. Coyote…Super Genius.

 

I’D LIKE TO SPEND A HOUR TALKING TO:

 

T: No one. That would be a waste of an hour of my life.

 

R: Jim Carrey.

 

MOST IMPORTANT LESSON LEARNED IN BAD ASS:

 

T: Watch out for gopher holes, and don’t attempt to run down Skillz at home.

 

R: Don’t slide with shorts on.
