Ask Austin about the time he threw a drink at David Spade and his love for Martha Stewart. Austin would have Robin Williams, Erykah Badu, Martha Stewart and Michelle Obama at his imaginary round table.
If you’re wondering about the picture, Austin went as “Nerdy Road Kill” for Halloween in the 5th grade. His mom willingly drove over his clothes with black paint.
