Sophomore doesn't mind wearing sweatpants in the heat, married his high school sweetheart

Wildcat: My name's Nathan and you're On the Spot. I got a question. How come you're wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt? Don't you know we're in the middle of a heat wave?

Berry: It's my style and I like being warm anyways. And I like ... it's my style.

Wildcat: To be hot and sweaty?

Berry: Yeah, to be hot. I don't sweat that much except when I skate a lot.

Wildcat: (Nodding towards female eating mango) So is this your girlfriend?

Berry: No, wife.

Wildcat: Oh, no wonder. I saw her feeding you earlier. I saw her giving you a piece of her. How long you been married?

Berry: Almost a year and a half.

Wildcat: Is marriage as good or as bad as they say it is?

Berry: Ah, it's better.

Wildcat: What's the best thing you like about it?

Berry: Constant companionship. Having your best friend there all the time.

Wildcat: Cool. I don't think I'm ever going to get married. I don't think I'll find anyone to put up with me ... 'cause I'm kind of retarded ... I have to have the kind of friends that are like, " Hey Nathan, did you brush your teeth today?" And I'm like "Oh crap!" or "Oh yeah, I did." But seriously, my friends have to take care of me ... like my mom. I think I'm either a genius or I'm insane, so ... what's your nationality?

Berry: African American/White.

Wife: Mexican.

Wildcat: So how did you guys meet? I mean that's cool, like total marriage diversity.

Wife: South Phoenix

Berry: Yeah. We're high school sweethearts.
