Do you have any hot takes?

Trotter: I feel like, for me, if you go to a soda machine, you have to mix the drinks. I'm a big mixed drinker. I've been doing that since I was young. My hot take is you got to mix the drinks.

What's a better Christmas movie, The Grinch or Christmas Vacation?

Trotter: I would say the Grinch movie. It's an OG movie.

Do you think that the Times Square ball drop is worth staying up for?

Trotter: I think it's worthwhile staying up for. But, if I have something to do the next day, I'm going to do my New Year's thing a little bit early and then I'm going to sleep. I'll drink my little sparking drink or whatever, then I am going to call it a night.

What's your favorite thing about Tampa Bay so far?

Trotter: I think my favorite thing so far has been the food. There's a lot of different things. Whatever cultural background you are coming from, I feel like it's pretty easy to mix in with everyone else. We have a great fanbase. There's people all around. So, you can find a little bit of something that you like around it. So, I love it down here, especially going outdoors
