This week, photo editor Brian Hodgkin interviewed the dudes behind the Review sports section. Yeah that's right, it's the editors Zach Pretzer and Blake Rehberg.
BH: Isn't this kind of lame that you're being interviewed in your section?
BR: Yeah, it's pretty lame, but it's Pretzer's idea.
ZP: I was pretty lazy all week and I couldn't think of a better way to expose Blake's lack of sports knowledge.
BH: Blake, considering your lack of knowledge of sports, don't you think you would be better off as an arts editor?
BR: I'd be much better off not working for the Review so I could get some sleep on Thursday nights.
[Zach laughs at Blake]
BH: Zach, I noticed that you recently quit the basketball team. Why?
ZP: I quit basketball so I could join the dwarf tossing league at the Oberlin Lanes on Sunday night.
BR: Actually, it conflicted with his ballet lessons.
[Zach gives Blake the bird]
BH: Earlier tonight, you two were involved in a ping pong paddle-hitting-the-butt incident?
ZP: That was just wrong.
BH: So you were being bad and Blake punished you?
BR: I wish we were in England so I could take a cricket paddle to his head.
ZP: I thought you were my friend.
[Blake laughs]
BH: Why are you guys allowed to do this interview?
ZP: Because [co-editor]Liz is nice and [co-editor] Nick isn't here.
BR: No, actually it's because Liz is a push-over and Nick's not here. Nobody reads sports anyways.
BH: Can you guys even really consider sports as having content?
BR: Personally, I don't care if anyone reads the sports section, but I feel that they should give the athletes more respect. Follow that up, bitch.
ZP: I don't really appreciate Blake's profanity, but I agree with what he said about athletes needing more respect here. I just hope no one reads his articles.
BH: Blake, you seem eager to leave.
ZP: What, do I smell or something?
BR: Yeah, it's your smell, the lameness of this interview and I have work to do.
ZP: I don't understand your hostility towards me. I think you're aquiesing your work.
BH: Aquiesing?
BR: Can you spell that Zach?
ZP: Can you spell b-l-o-w m-e?
