First Interview

First Interview With Guy Brodie:

PGE: Good morning Guy. You are our choice for the "Perfect Guy Experiment". It's time we let the people know more about you. What do think about being chosen as our "Perfect Guy"?

Guy: Well, to be honest I wasn't really too sure if you could really call any one person "perfect". But I guess I'm just surprised you picked me.

PGE: Do you consider yourself to be a "Perfect Guy?"

Guy: (shifts uncomfortably in his seat) No definitely not!

PGE: Why not?

Guy: I dunno. I think you can't ever really be truly perfect. You have to take the good with the bad. You just have to hope the good outweighs the bad.

PGE: So do you think that the Perfect Guy is a man whose good points outweigh the bad?

Guy: Yeah, I think that's about the only way you can really judge something like that.

PGE: Hmm, ok then. So you're from Australia?

Guy: Yes! I'm from Perth in Western Australia. That's on the opposite side of the country from Sydney.

PGE: Do I dare admit that I've never actually heard of Perth?

Guy: (laughs) You wouldn't be the first. Which is too bad because Perth is a great city.

PGE: Tell us a little about Perth.

Guy: Ok, well Perth is the capitol of Western Australia. It's not as big as some of the other aussie capitols, but I think that's part of Perth's charm. But yeah Perth is great. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. And it has fabulous beaches!

PGE: Do you spend a lot of time at the beach?

Guy: Yeah I do actually. I try to go at least once a week during the warmer months.

PGE: Do you have a favorite beach in Perth?
Guy: Yeah, Swanbourne Beach. It's a nude beach.

PGE: A nude beach? Do you go nude too?

Guy. Yep.

PGE: You don't get embarrassed?

Guy: Nah. I don't have a problem with nudity or being nude. I love nudity actually. Nothing's more beautiful or natural than a nude body.

PGE: I think I'd be too embarrassed to go nude�

Guy: You'd be surprised how easy it is. Once you get out there and see all the different kinds of people there who are nude. You know when you see an overweight 70 year old woman sunning in the nude, you start to think "If she can do it, so can I". On a nude beach nobody cares about what you look like. If you're carrying a few extra kilos no one will make a rude comment to you. It's a shame the rest of society doesn't do the same.

PGE: You would make a great posterboy for a nudist organization�

Guy: (laughs) Yeah�. You're the one who asked�

PGE: Ok changing the subject, what do you do for a living?

Guy: I'm a pilot. Right now I'm an instructor and working towards getting my commercial licence.

PGE: So you teach people how to fly? Bet that can get scary!

Guy: (laughs) Yeah it can be. But seriously it's not as bad as you might think. I think teaching people to drive would be heaps scarier.

PGE: I've been seeing a lot of Aussies in the movies lately. Do you have a favorite Aussie actor or actress?

Guy: I'd have to say it's a toss-up between Heath Ledger and Mel Gibson for an actor. Heath is also a Perth boy so that may decide it. And an actress, Rachel Griffiths for sure. She's a wonderful actress and really seems like a nice lady too.

PGE: Ok how about sports? Are you a sports nut?

Guy: I like sports, but I don't actually spend a lot of time watching or playing them.

PGE: There are some women who will be glad to hear that! What's your favorite sport?

Guy: Footy. That's Australian Rules Football. Australia is the only place where that is played.

PGE: Is that like the Football here in America, or like soccer?

Guy: No no. Footy is completely different. It's pretty hard to explain to someone who's never seen it played before. But it had it's roots in Gaelic football. It's a totally different game to American football and soccer.

PGE: Favorite team?

Guy: Go the Eagles! That's the West Coast Eagles, one of the two local teams here.

PGE: Well Guy I guess that concludes our first public interview. We'll be asking visitors to send in their own ideas for interview questions. Going to be ready for that?

Guy: As long as they aren't too embarrassing mate! (laughs)

PGE: Don't worry, those will be the only ones we choose�

Guy: You are evil�
