  • Trivia
    When he arrived at a friends house in Florida, he was introduced to kids as "host of a Chicago radio show". Of course they were not impressed. However, he later noticed the kids playing Halo, and told them he was a character in the game. After cycling through multiple names, he finally revealed himself as Master Chief; kids from all around the block swarmed to the house to see him.
