might get a lot of thinking done.
X: Where do you go running?
JP: I live in South Boston. If it’s not crappy out, then I’m going running down Castle Island, down the harbor walk, around the JFK library. The last couple months I’ve been [running] on the treadmill.
X: What’s the worst job you ever had?
JP: I have to go back to high school, and it was probably pumping gas in trucks at a truck rental firm.
X: That was in Dallas?
JP: Yeah. It’s long since gone. I drove by it, and it’s not there anymore.
X: What’s your favorite podcast?
JP: “Talkin’ Cowboys.” I have all my sports talk shows from Dallas in podcast form at this point. That’s how I catch up.
X: What’s the best movie you’ve seen in the past year?
JP: I’m trying to think of a movie I have seen in the past year. I guess it would have to be “Star Wars.” It was the only one that I remember seeing, and it was so much better than the prequels.
X: What’s the most embarrassing thing you’re willing to admit publicly?
JP: My wife periodically makes me watch episodes of “Real Housewives.”
X: Follow-up question: Do you enjoy them?
JP: It depends on the city and how much wine I’ve had.
