Freshman doesn't mind bathroom interviews, says her 'chill' mom will tell everyone her daughter peed

Editor's note: This is the first of a two-part On the S-potty series where the Wildcat interviews someone doing their business in a bathroom stall.

Wildcat: My name's Liz and you're On the S-potty. Do you read the Wildcat?

Silverman: Yeah, I do. My favorite is Police Beat. It's just amazing the stupid things people do.

Wildcat: Do you think anyone ever gets arrested in the bathroom?

Silverman: No. Actually, do you remember that singer guy got arrested for exposing himself? George Michael, is that his name?

Wildcat: Yeah, he tried to have sex with an undercover cop in the bathroom.

Silverman: Yeah, that's pro.

Wildcat: What does "pro" mean?

Silverman: It was a good idea for him to do.

Wildcat: Actually, that bathroom was kind of infamous. How do you feel about that?

Silverman: If that's what you want to do, then potty's the place to do it.

Wildcat: How do you think your mom is going to feel about this interview?

Silverman: Oh, she's going to order a hundred copies and put it on the wall. She'll bring it to work with her and tell everyone her kid peed and talked on tape. She's pretty chill.

Wildcat: Even if it means talking to some stranger while you're trying to do your "business"?

Silverman: Well, you have cool hair. You're not that bad.

Wildcat: Oh, thank you. Wait, I'm not that bad because I have cool hair? Is that what makes someone cool?

Silverman: Yes.
