Political science sophomore has been on a beer run and was very impressed with the deed

Wildcat: My name's Nathan and you're On the Spot. How's your day going today?

Palmer-Gai: Not bad. Kind of slept in, and I'm on my way to class. I already missed the first half.

Wildcat: Am I holding you up?

Palmer-Gai: At this point, it's kind of moot. I think I missed what the subject matter is one way or another. I'm going to meet up with my friend there so we can work out.

Wildcat: All right. Cool, cool. Health is key. I'm just letting everyone know that I've realized my body is disproportionate. I don't think my legs are long enough to ...

Palmer-Gai: ... to balance out?

Wildcat: ... my torso. Yeah.

Palmer-Gai: Mine aren't - I get in my girlfriend's truck everyday, and I realize I don't really have to put the seat back. It kind of bothers me. I don't know.

Wildcat: Does she always have the seat way up and you bump your knees when you get in?

Palmer-Gai: It's not real far up. It's about where it should be, but I got like, three or four inches on her, so I don't know.

Wildcat: I don't know why, but I'm just kind of angry about that. I mean, look at me.

Palmer-Gai: How long have you been doing On the Spot?

Wildcat: This semester. Have you ever done an ice run?

Palmer-Gai: Ice run? No.

Wildcat: You got your beer run, your candy run and sometimes your -

Palmer-Gai: So, in an ice run, you grab the ice and take off? It's like $1, $1.50 for ice, though.

Wildcat: Sometimes you're broke though. Have you ever done any kind of run?

Palmer-Gai: No, but I was in the car when one happened. I wasn't driving. I was just kind of there, present.

Wildcat: What did they run?

Palmer-Gai: Six cubes of Budweiser or The Beast or something. It was a lot of beer. I was impressed.
