Wildcat: My name's Kris, and you're on the spot! So tell me, what do you think about bull riding?

Grauman: Bull riding?

Wildcat: Yeah.

Grauman: Uh, I think it's a pointless sport, but it's fun to watch.

Wildcat: Why do you think people do it then?

Grauman: Uh, I don't know. Probably just for the thrill of it.

Wildcat: Why would you do it?

Grauman: Why would - I wouldn't do it, but uh, I don't know. Probably also for the thrill of it.

Wildcat: What would be your primary concern as a bull rider?

Grauman: Getting trampled.

Wildcat: And do you think bull riding would present a threat to your ability to contribute to the gene pool?

Grauman: Ah, yes, definitely.

Wildcat: In what ways?

Grauman: Getting trampled in the right place.

Wildcat: How would this affect your strategy as a professional bull rider?

Grauman: Um, I'd wear a cup, I guess.

Wildcat: Do you think you could last eight seconds?

Grauman: Eight seconds? I don't know, I guess it depends on the bull. Maybe on an easy one.

Wildcat: Thanks.
