It's back and now twice the fun!

Freshman digs old-school comedians, hopes Seinfeld won't end up like them

Wildcat: My name is Kylee and you're on the spot. So tell me, what do you think about Johnny Carson dying (of emphysema)?

Gustin: I think it was really sad. Johnny Carson was a big legend, you know. A TV entrepreneur, so I thought it was horrible. Sad.

Wildcat: Were you old enough to stay up that late to watch his show?

Gustin: I saw some of the reruns. We had tapes at home, so I just watched that.

Wildcat: OK, do you think Bill Cosby did it?

Gustin: Did what?

Wildcat: Molested that woman that's accusing him of ... molesting her a year ago. You haven't heard about that?

Gustin: No, I didn't hear about that.

Wildcat: You think Bill Cosby would do something like that?

Gustin: Not at all.

Wildcat: Why not?

Gustin: Because he just seems like such a straightforward guy.

Wildcat: What does that mean?

Gustin: He's just an honest, upstanding guy. You know, he seems pretty passionate about his beliefs.

Wildcat: Do you think this is a foreshadowing for what's to come for other comedians this year?

Gustin: I don't know. They always say things happen in threes, so who knows? Someone might be the third. I have no idea.

Wildcat: You don't have any idea of who it could be?

Gustin: I don't know. I just hope it doesn't happen to Seinfeld.

Freshman sticks it to global warming mongers and her crazy relatives

Wildcat: I'm Kylee and you're on the spot. So, where do you plan to be when the world comes to an end?

Hafenscher: Well let's see. When the world ends, I plan to be on vacation somewhere.

Wildcat: Where?

Hafenscher: On an island somewhere, on a beach.

Wildcat: Do you want to be alone or with somebody?

Hafenscher: I suppose I'd be with my family. Not the crazy ones in the mental hospital.

Wildcat: Why are your relatives in mental hospitals?

Hafenscher: Well, they're all crazy.

Wildcat: Has nothing been significantly diagnosed?

Hafenscher: There's been manic depression, depression, suicidal, that's pretty much all of it.

Wildcat: That sounds just like my family. We have so much in common. So, the reason I ask you all this is because, supposedly, now global warming has reached that peak where it's detrimental and could actually harm us. Do you think global warming is a threat?

Hafenscher: No.

Wildcat: Why not?

Hafenscher: Well, I actually just had a debate about this last semester and I know that water vapor has a lot to do with it, but after all the tests with fossil fuels and stuff, there really doesn't seem to be that much of a problem. I mean, sure we need to cut down on it 'cause the carbon's bad, but other than that, I really don't think there's a problem.

Wildcat: You're the first person I've spoken to who knows that much about global warming. I'm very impressed.
