Nick:
Alright, lets get down
to the nitty
gritty…who’s your favorite superhero? Why?
Bailey:
Wonder Woman. Because, who run the
world? Girls.
Nick: Did you
just quote Beyonce?
Bailey: I did. I think Beyonce
should
have her own
superhero.
Nick: What would her superhero
name be? She obviously can’t go by
‘Beyonce.’ Everyone would know her true
identity.
Bailey:
Uh….’Yonce.
Nick: What’s
an internet meme that you last
obsessed
over?
Bailey: Oh! I love the
“YAS
KWEEN” memes. I just discovered it and I literally walk around my
apartment
saying it to myself when
I’m cleaning.
Nick: So,
the worlds ending and you only
have time for one last
meal…what is it?
Bailey: Well, the moment you said that, I
thought:
chocolate chip pancakes
and pizza. Like, together. But, I just want to get it
all
in.
Nick: That’s a
bizarre combination.
Bailey: Yeah, I just feel like if the worlds
ending
I wanna taste as many
flavors that I love as I can. So, you know you get
breakfast food and good
pizza.
Nick: Those are two main courses.
Wouldn’t that be two
meals?
Bailey: Oh…well. No, not
if you’re at a
buffet.
Because, you get to put whatever you want on one plate.
Nick: When was the last time you geeked out?
What was it
over?
Bailey: Batman v
Superman. I’m super excited
to see
it this week!
Nick: What’s a guilty
pleasure of
yours?
Bailey:
Can I say two?
Nick:
Yes.
Bailey: Um. Well,
everybody likes
Cheez-Its, so
that doesn’t really count. But, I re-watch The OC all the
time.
Nick:
So, do you watch The OC while
eating Cheez-
its?
Bailey: Yes. And,
sometimes I’ll get crazy
and throw Thin Mints or Oreos in
there.
Nick: There’s nothing wrong with a good
Thin
Mint.
Bailey: Right? I ate
half a sleeve last night
and half a sleeve the night before. So, basically I
just died and went to Thin
Mint Heaven.
Nick: Okay, so, we
are going to do a speed
round. Are you ready?
Ketchup or Mayo? Ketchup
Lil Bub
or Grumpy Cat?
Grumpy
Cat
Marvel or
DC? DC
Heels or
Flats? Flats
Team
Edward or Team Jacob?
Team
Edward
Ben Affleck
or
Christian Bale? Christian Bale. I love
Christian
Bale.
Nick: Thanks for taking time with us today. Before you go, could you
tell us a little about The
Nightly Nerd?
Bailey: Yes. The
Nightly Nerd is going to be a
tri-weekly recap that’ll keep
people in the loop
with pop culture and geek culture news. It’ll be a lot of
fun, quirky, goofy and
totally worth
the 9-12 minutes per week. It starts April 4th!!! I’m so
excited to be a part of Fan
Fest.
The
Nightly Nerd starts Monday, April 4th
at 8PMc only on
FanFest.com.
