Jamie Dawson molecular biophysics & biochemistry senior

Senior has well-groomed and patterned facial hair and thinks Seattle's Best is not giving its best

Wildcat: Hi, my name's Nathan and you're On the Spot.

Dawson: Good to meet you. I'm Jamie.

Wildcat: Is it cold being bald this time of year?

Dawson: Naw ... well, sometimes it is. Right now it's great. Perfect weather. When it gets too cold, I got to put the beanie on and protect the ears.

Wildcat: Is that your attempt at a beard? ... or is that all you can grow?

Dawson: Well ...

Wildcat: Can you mob it like this? [Wildcat points to own beard]

Dawson: Naw, not like that. But I think it's more styling like this, though. [points to his well-groomed and patterned facial hair] A little more of a statement.

Wildcat: If yours is a statement, what's mine? A question?

Dawson: Um ... yeah, maybe.

Wildcat: It's a big question mark?

Dawson: I'd question it.

Wildcat: Yeah, I would. What are you drinking?

Dawson: Coffee. Seattle's Best. I don't know if it's their best, though. I think I got ripped off.

Wildcat: Why?

Dawson: I don't know. It doesn't taste like their best. Starbucks is better.

Wildcat: Actually, right now, I have a $25 gift certificate to Starbucks. I just need to figure out how to blow it. I think I'm just going to blow it on caramel Frappuccinos.

Dawson: Or you can give it to your On the Spot interviewees. We can talk over coffee.

Wildcat: [pointing] Were you putting your earring on over there? I saw you doing something to your ear and I was like, "Is that guy putting an earring on?"

Dawson: Yeah. I was putting my earring in. I just came from work and I don't like to wear them at work. It's a little unprofessional.

Wildcat: Make your statement.

Dawson: Not at work - 'cause their statement might be: "You're fired."

Wildcat: That's what's cool about the Wildcat. They let me grow my beard. I could walk in with my shirt off. They might make fun of me, but ...
