He told SeattleMet.com, "With all the downtime we have on the planes and buses, I download different shows. My roommate (Borgen) is pretty big into them; he’s probably watched all of them.
"We watched Yellowstone together last year. We’ll set up a time at night and watch together and then go to bed. It’s like a married couple, basically.
"I’ve been trying to explore more. We love going out to different restaurants and trying them out. We had a little whiteboard at our house last year where we rate different restaurants."
