I'm Lani. I live in Austin, Texas (jealous?). I am the New Media Director of Single Pointe Realty (and AgentGenius.com). I keep this blog as my personal take on the market, the business of Real Estate, and the agents that make up the profession from all over the nation. Because I am not a licensed agent- I write commentary from the unique perspective of part consumer, part insider. Oh, and I have a ridiculous affinity for cheese.

Bubble Gum Interview- Dan Green

dan green aka garbage can dan because it rhymes.

Dan Green of The Mortgage Reports is a super cool guy and today, we bring you the world’s shortest bubble gum interview. Someone must have practiced his stand up act in the mirror before answering, because this is hella funny! [Hint:] be sure to click all the links in Dan’s answers…

What is your favorite commercial on TV right now?

That one where the Native American guy sees all that pollution and the tear runs down his face.

Who would you rather have owe you a favor- Hillary Clinton, Tom Cruise or Oscar the Grouch?

That’s a trick question. Everybody knows that Hillary Clinton and Tom Cruise are the same person. http://HillaryClintonIsTomCruise.com

What nickname did you have as a kid?

Only the cool kids got nicknames.

How did you learn that the Tooth Fairy isn’t real?

The Easter Bunny told me.

What’s playing on your iPod these days (or tape player, whatev)?

Warren G. Harding’s 1921 inaugural speech (with introduction by Andrew Ridgeley)

Name all the places you’ve lived.

In the past, in the moment, in the clouds, and Cincinnati.

***************
So there you have it. Dan believes that the crying Native American is a current commercial, revealed to us that Hillary Clinton and Tom Cruise are, in fact, the same person (I KNEW I didn’t like her), was way too nerdy as a kid to get a nickname (so we’ll pick “Garbage Can Dan” and hope it sticks now that he’s cool enough), the easter bunny whispers sweet nothings in his ear, and relives Harding’s speech every morning on his crank record player. Now that you really (kind of) know Dan, what do you think??

    I object to this line of questioning.

  2. Norm Fisher Says:

    I wish you were my mortgage guy! Very funny.

  3. ines Says:

    I think Tom Cruise looks better in a dress than Hillary Clinton

  4. Rhonda Porter Says:

    That is too funny…I fell for it. I think I’ll have to think up a nickname for Oscar…oh, I mean, Dan too!

  5. irina Netchaev Says:

    Oscar, oops… Dan, looks kind of cute in his trash ware. Pretty good for a nerdy kid to marry a woman who interviews soooo well. :-)

  6. Jay Thompson Says:

    Disappointed there was no link to this.

  7. Todd Carpenter Says:

    An obvious fabrication. Everyone knows the real Dan Green is not funny.

  8. Jeremy Hart Says:

    So, if he’s Garbage Can Dan, would he then be considered a Dumpster Diver as well?

  9. Kris Berg Says:

    I love-love-love Dan! And, he really IS that funny. Way to go, Mortgage Dude.

  10. Vicki Moore Says:

    Great interview. I didn’t know that commercial was on YouTube - man, does that bring back childhood memories. It was a big deal at the time.

  11. Life In Queen City »  I’ve Been Memed. How Quaint. Says:

    [...] guess some people take memes pretty seriously, but it’s more like a Bubble Gum interview to [...]

  12. Jeff Belonger Says:

    Dan,

    This was pretty funny….I loved the picture and the statement. Creative… And I think Vicki is showing all of our ages… yes, that was a while back and it was a big deal back then.

    In any case, don’t throw the wrapper away on this one. Jeff

I've interviewed the elite in real estate- bubble gum style....

Bubble Gum Interview- Benn Rosales (My HUSBAND)!!!

A better question is do you think people who say smooth as a baby’s butt have ever changed a diaper? I mean seriously, why do we spend so much time dreaming of being younger or going back in time, or relating to childhood when we really should embrace the “now”. Looking backwards is so “life in reverse.”[…]

Bubble Gum with Kris Berg

Without giving too much away, it involved a party, a Tall Scotch & Water with a Twist (or ten), midnight munchies, a drive-thru window, assorted food products named “Jack” (Bonus, Breakfast), two Super Tacos, a large order of fries and a couple of regrettable hangovers. Steve is such a romantic![…]
