Clinton Norris: That's right I'm a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering.
Host: But you took quite a career change here… You're Mr. March, right.
Clinton Norris: Mr. April actually.
Host: Mr. April, excuse me. Mr. April. We do have his picture. Guys, can we show his picture there? We have a graphic. And tell us first, how… there you are! Nice picture.
Clinton Norris: Thank you.
Host: Now, something that surprised me Clinton. This was a first for you. How did you get involved with this? You were not modeling before this.
Clinton Norris: No, I've never modeled before. Actually, I was just walking around campus and the agency, what they do is, they have recruiters and they walk around and just pretty much pass out cards to people who have talent because what the calendar, what they want is not professional models they just want students, just regular students.
Host: You look great. You look professional.
Clinton Norris: Thank you.
Host: So my next question is, are you thinking about doing more with this?
Clinton Norris: Actually yeah, if anyone's out there watching and are interested, yes I am.
Host: And you also told me you are getting some national attention as well.
Clinton Norris: Well yeah, actually, recently I was on the Jenny Jones Show about three weeks ago, and... It just aired Monday. And it went pretty good. I had a good time.
Host: Good for you. And I guess for you, you have a great body, what do you do to stay in shape?
Clinton Norris: Well, actually I work out about five days a week, some jogging here and there, although I don't do enough of it.
Host: You're kidding. Do you eat anything you want? You do don't you?
Clinton Norris: Almost. Almost, I stay away from the ice cream.
Host: There you go. Again, good luck to you. Its probably tough too for you to find a date huh?
Clinton Norris: Actually, actually I'm so busy with the school work down there. Engineering is so tough and its hard to get out and meet people, but, its… I have a few people, friends, ya know.
Host: Good for you.
