Question: Favorite thing to do in Cleveland?

Allen: I’ve had a chance to check out a few things. I had a chance to swing by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is awesome! Just spending some time down near the Flats, it’s kind of the closest to more water-beachy vibe you can get -- especially coming from San Diego. I like it the scenery down there. It seems to be pretty nice.

Question: Favorite thing to do on the beach, being from San Diego?

Allen: So, definitely not swimming! We do know that’s probably out of the picture.

Question: We’ve ruled that out, that’s a good point. ... Favorite athlete of all time?
