Stephen Berezhnoy

What’s your name and where do you live?
Stephen Berezhnoy in the Powell Butte neighborhood in Portland, OR.

When did you start listening to TBTL? How did you find the show?
I started listening just this year because my fiancé Jay has listened to every episode and we would often have this on in the car while we were on roadtrips. Eventually I got interested enough to listen on my own.

How would your friends describe you?
Nerdy and oblivious, but kind.

What was your favorite cereal when you were a kid? Is it still your fav?
Reese’s Puffs, and yes it’s still my favorite

What food do you love to eat the most of?
Burgers, there’s so much you can do to spice it up, but a good basic cheese burger is soo tasty.

What’s the best or worst nickname you ever had?
I was called Gregory for a year in high school because on the first day of class a kid forgot my name and called me Gregory and didn’t change it when I corrected him. It didn’t feel bad at the time, I was just glad to be included.

If you could play one song on TBTL, what would it be?
It’s one of my favorite songs, and it makes me cry every time I listen to it. The General by Dispatch

What’s a special skill you have that you’re most proud of?
I’m a decent cook, and I definitely feel proud when I make delicious food for people.

What’s a special skill that you *wish* you had?
I wish I could dance really well!

If you were driving down the street and you saw Luke and Andrew on the sidewalk, what would you yell at them as you drove past?
“I love the show!” is what I’d say since I hadn’t really thought about it before, but now that I’m thinking I’ll probably say “No mountain too tall…” and hope that they’d call back “and good luck to all!”
