Taking off your shoes on an airplane: Yes or no? “Absolutely. Yes. Really? You think that’s the thing that’s gonna get you sick?”
Musicals: Yay or nay? “Yeah, for sure. But let’s keep that between us.”

Food in bed: Okay or never? “For me, yes. Anybody else, no.”
Toilet paper: Over or under? “Over.”
Any kind of lying is bad: Agree or disagree? “I disagree. ‘Does this dress make me look fat?’ ‘No.’ ”
Which came first — the chicken or the egg? “Oh, everybody knows the answer to that.”
Can you fold a fitted sheet properly? “I can fold a fitted sheet.”
Must-have hours of sleep? “It looks like it’s three.”

If the show did an all-musical episode, I would want to sing ______: “The famous power ballad, ‘The Family That Sleeps Together.’ ”

obvious?”
Tanner Novlan (Finn):
What is a random subject you know a lot about? “I’m a good gardener. I come from a farming background and I have a green thumb.”
Taking off your shoes on an airplane: Yes or no? “Depends. I think generally, no. But if you’re lucky enough to be in fancy first class where you have the slippers, then I think you enjoy your best life.”
Musicals: Yay or nay? “Not a big musical guy, although now with my daughter, that’s all I live. It’s trending ‘Yay.’ ”
Reality TV: Yay or nay? “Generally no, I’m not a big reality guy, although I did get hooked on THE BACHELOR.”
Cruises: Yay or nay? “No, I like touring around.”
What is the best cereal? “Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That is the best one by far. I haven’t had it in a long time, but with the milk and the sugar and cinnamon, it’s amazing. It’s like a dessert.”
Food in bed: Okay or never? “Yeah, that’s okay. If we’re hanging in bed, I’ll have a little late-night snack. Just be careful with popcorn, because if you spill the popcorn in the sheets you gotta wash them and you’ll never get those kernels out.”
Toilet paper: Over or under? “Over; gotta be in the front. The back is weird.”
Any kind of lying is bad: Agree or disagree? “I disagree. That’s complicated. You can do a little white lie if you’re not gonna hurt someone’s feelings.”
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? “Oh, jeez. Well, I think there had to be some weird egg that was chicken … or it was supposed to be a lizard and a chicken came out?”
Can you fold a fitted sheet properly? “Yes, I can. Well, pretty good. I’d be like, an eight out of 10.”
What is your must-have hours of sleep? “I haven’t slept since my kids were born. I would love to get six hours now.”
Childhood item you wish you still had? “My grandfather cut down his old golf clubs when I was little and it would be cool to have those same clubs that I learned to play golf with to teach my kids with them.”
I would give my ironing skills a letter grade of: “It’d be an A. When I played hockey, we would always have to dress in a suit and tie for game, so in the hotels, I had to learn how to press my shirt.”
Sitcom family you’d love to join? “The Taylors from HOME IMPROVEMENT. I think it would be wild having Tim ‘The Tool Man’ Taylor as your dad. You’d have all these weird gadgets at the house.”
Go-to takeout order? “Sushi.”
If the show did an all-musical episode, I would want to sing ______: “I’m so bad. I could hum the show’s theme song.”
What middle name would you give your character? “Maybe Jack for his dad.”
