Junior finds reporter to be booty-licious, wouldn't shave his chest, and watches TV to relax

Wildcat: Hi, my name's Nathan and you're On the Spot. So tell me - first impression of me - do you think I'm booty-licious?

Patel: Booty-licious?

Wildcat: Yeah. Be honest.

Patel: Yeah, sure.

Wildcat: What's booty-licious about me?

Patel: Your messy hair. Your unshaven face ...

Wildcat: Some people call that sexy, but I prefer to call it - I don't know, man. I don't know. Have you ever seen a man with a hairy chest?

Patel: Yeah.

Wildcat: Would you ever shave your chest?

Patel: No.

Wildcat: Where were you going?

Patel: To the MSC building to pick up materials to do our lab later on.

Wildcat: I think I've mentioned this before, but one time when I first came here, I accidentally had a latte with three or four shots. And I just threw my cape, my lab apron, around my neck and I was like Chemistry Man or something. I was running around my lab. It was crazy ... my goggles ... I was a chemistry superhero.

Patel: Here?

Wildcat: Yeah, in Koffler.

Patel: Oh, fun.

Wildcat: It was a bad experience. What do you do when you relax?

Patel: I watch TV.

Wildcat: Do you watch basic TV or do you step it up?

Patel: Naw, basic TV is fine.

Wildcat: Are you an "American Idol" fan?

Patel: Naw. Well, I watch every now and then.

Wildcat: As we leave here, I'm going to take your picture right now. Give me an "American Idol" pose.
