Street sat down with BMOC contestants Anthony Faye and Jake Rosenberg to tackle the big issues... but these guys were much more excited to strip for our photographer. Actually, to strip and be saran-wrapped back-to-back. And to have a half-naked "fist fight" across a chain-link fence. And to do some other weird shit involving a bicycle. And we had sex with them. Okay, we didn't, but after that wild afternoon we can only imagine what might go down Thursday night. We said 'go down'... huh huh.
Anthony Faye
Street: What will you be doing for your talent portion?
I am playing an Adam Sandler song on my guitar. When I told this girl that I was going to play guitar, she said, "No, you should dance to 'Like a Virgin.'" What kind of talent is that?
Why should you win the BMOC title?
I think because I embody what BMOC is. Big Man On Campus is a down-to-earth guy, classy, likes to get ripped, likes going out, doesn't concentrate too much on class, smooth with the ladies.
How do you feel about your competitors?
I'm friends with a lot of these guys. I think it is all in good fun, but a couple of the guys refused to talk to me for the last three days. I think the competition is going to be real fierce.
Favorite pick-up line?
(long pause) Um... Did it hurt?
Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy, _____ is sexier.
Women are sexy, masturbation is sexier.
Have you ever had cyber sex?
Well, not with another individual. But with my computer screen definitely. The screen wasn't really responding though.
Have you ever slept with anyone in AXO?
Yes.
More than one?
Yes.
More than five?
Yes... (laughter). No, no no...definitely more than one though.
Describe your ideal woman.
Breasts and a pair of legs.
Have you been working out for BMOC?
No. Unless working out involves drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, then I've been on a steady diet.
We work out a lot then. Would you rather be forked to death or spooned to death?
Spooned.
Why?
I just said spooning because I thought of kissing when I heard "spooning."
So you're a sensitive guy.
Yeah, I guess so.
Boxers or briefs?
Boxer-briefs.
Do you feel that you are at a disadvantage because you don't have a beard?
I'll have a small Fu Manchu for the competition. Just a little one. But yes, I definitely feel disadvantaged for not having a full beard. I feel like a boy among men.
Favorite song to strip to?
ZZ Top, "Sharp Dressed Man."
Favorite song to have sex to?
Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" because it's got a great climax.
How does your mom feel about you competing?
She wanted to come. My mom loves the idea.
Did she have any advice for you?
Nothing too crude.
Are you taking that to heart?
No. I'm doing completely the opposite of it.
How would you feel about it if your mom did come?
I would be a lot more nervous.
Do you have hair anywhere that you wish you didn't have hair?
First I would say in my nostrils. Can't stand long nostril hairs. Once in a while, I just have to pull 'em out. Mainly, just ass though.
Do you plan to do anything about that for the competition?
No. All natural here. If it grows, it stays.
We heard something about how during freshman year you had a picture of your asshole as your screen saver.
I got a webcam, so every once in a while when we got fucked up, we would do stupid-ass pictures.
Literally.
Actually, it wasn't my asshole. It was my older brother's. But I put it up on my computer as my screen saver.
So you're a family man?
Yeah, definitely. Keep it in the family.
Jake Rosenberg
How tall are you?
12 inches... around.
We've never been to BMOC.
Neither have I.
How were you selected?
Well, AXO tends to have more of a male demographic made up of athletes, so I think they're trying to pull in some more members of that whole Jewish-Greek-Renegade-Fraternity Scene.
What do you have planned?
I can't give away too much at this point, but I will be paying homage to classic hip-hop, and in the program they're putting out, my profile has two words: David Hasselhoff.
They love him in Germany.
Yeah, I'm also trying to pull in the whole foreign-exchange-student German hipster crowd. I've been growing my chest hair out.
Speaking of which, does your body have any hair where it shouldn't?
Any hair is good hair.
What is your preferred style of underwear?
Boxer-briefs.
Hmm... what are you doin' later?
You. (Nervous anticipatory laughter.)
So, uh, have you had a chance to size up the competition?
Yeah, and they're all a lot bigger and cooler than me.
Will there be any stripping going on?
There's going to be a lot of nudity -- lots of naked men.
I'm definitely going then. I could use a few naked men in my life these days.
Do you want to make love after this interview?
Yes.
(Nervous anticipatory laughter.)
I'm not joking.
(Nervous laughter wanes -- replaced by uncertain awkwardness.)
Um, OK, so fill in the blanks: _____ is sexy, _____ is sexier.
Ketchup is sexy, hummus is sexier.
L'chaim. Let's talk about your beard.
OK.
Are there other competitors with beards?
No, I'm the only one.
So, do you think you have the bearded advantage?
I'm not really sure where the bearded advantage would take me... my mom was actually telling me I should shave my beard for this.
What does your mom think of BMOC?
She wanted to come, but she doesn't like seeing me drunk.
But she does like seeing you naked?
Hey, don't be so harsh, she's from Long Island.
OK, describe your ideal woman.
My ideal woman... I'd say someone who's interviewing me... maybe... off campus....
Good answer. Other than that, why should you win the BMOC title?
I think what it comes down to is that the audience will really just see my dedication towards abused women. And that's what they're all about at AXO.
Abusing women?
Well, it's a fundraiser... for women... against... abuse.
If you had to pick, would you rather be spooned to death or forked to death?
I would actually pick the combo and be sporked to death.
So, have you ever "bumped uglies" with anyone in AXO?
No.
Never?
Oh, wait, yes. But she deactivated after that.
