Custodian won't give rides in sidewalk scrubber, enjoys trail mix while he works

Wildcat: My name's Nathan and you're On the Spot.

McCalley: Okay.

Wildcat: And you're·Jim.

McCalley: Jim McCalley.

Wildcat: And you get to drive this huge thing around, cleaning up the bricks?

McCalley: Well, basically, all around campus. It's a sidewalk scrubber sweeper.

Wildcat: And you work at night?

McCalley: Um-hmm. Three Ītil one in the morning.

Wildcat: Do you think you can give me a lift?

McCalley: No.

Wildcat: So how long you been driving?

McCalley: We've had this machine about a month and a half.

Wildcat: When you were a kid, did you dream about one day driving a little machine around the UA?

McCalley: No.

Wildcat: Do you have kids?

McCalley: Yes.

Wildcat: I don't. How many kids you got?

McCalley: Three boys.

Wildcat: I bet you they ask for rides.

McCalley: They're all too old.

Wildcat: Oh yeah? How old are they?

McCalley: One's 22, one's 20, and one's 15.

Wildcat: So, what are you eating while you're driving? You seem like you're just cruising, hanging out.

McCalley: I'm just eating trail mix, basically.

Wildcat: Trail mix? That's cool, that's the kind of job you need, you want. A job where you can eat on the job and just cruise in the nice night.

McCalley: Yeah.
