Wednesday Night Chat Recap

Compliments of the lovely Stephie Mc

• Pumkin arrived and there was a loud roar from the crowd.
• He informed the crowd he received a "Little Black Book" recently, but has not used it yet. He will though, don't you worry your pretty little heads about that!
• Three words to describe our pumkin according to him? Adventurous, funny, and street-smart. A trifecta of perfection!. (I say HOT should be in there too, but that's just me!)
• Besides his family, Brendan says he will still be in contact with his coaches from UT , twenty years from now because they've been there for him in so many ways.
• Pumkin kindly reminded us he is on a pro swimmer's salary, while most of us are poor. Share the wealth pumkin!
• Not only is Brendan a world class swimmer, he can make a clover with his tongue and promised to work on getting us photographic evidence. (We have it in writing. Don't try and back out!)
• After getting out his reading glasses to answer a question posed by atrophy, Brendan has promised to approach Nike on behalf of the endowed woman of the swim world and ask why their swimsuits are not supportive enough. Brendan mentioned he was spending some extra time thinking of dear atrophy and her girls in their time of need.
• Don't cross Bren-Bear. If you do, you may end up like an unidentified teammate who decided to tease him about a girl he was dating. His swimsuit ended up with ben-gay in it.
• Outside of swimming, being away from home and not being close to his family has been his biggest obstacle. He loves Texas though, which helps make it easier.
• Before he dies, Brendan would love to visit all of the continents.
• If he could eat only one meal for the rest of his life, it would be chicken parm.
• If he could change one thing about himself, our Brendan would love to have long flowing hair like Johnny Damon! Just kidding, he wouldn't change anything about himself. (Let's be honest, why mess with perfection?)
• If you want to challenge Brendan to a dance off, better go back in time to 1990 for some "Bust A Move" by Young MC.
• Brendan has yet to meet Matthew McConaughey but will let us know if he runs into his fellow Austinite.
• If he could meet one celebrity, he'd choose Donald Trump so he could get financial wisdom from him and admire his flowing locks. (Just kidding on the last part!)
• Pumkin chose swimming over other sports he could persue because it was the funnest and he kept getting better at it.
• Breaststroke is still the funnest stroke, according to Brendan (We're not surprised!)
• Brendan finds comfort in his many pictures, which he keeps in albums and shadow boxes. He does not scrapbook though, because he is "too cool". (Boys!!)
• The best gift Brendan ever got was a bike when he was 7 years old. It gave him his first taste of independence as he traveled to 7-11 and visited the candy aisle.
• JHD did her homework and found out Austin was named the #7 college party town. Brendan enlightened us that the school isn't a party school, but the city of Austin is fiesta central so let's all pack our bags and pay him a visit for spring break!
• Aaron is Brendan's favorite roommate to date.
• He pushes himself to the breaking point in every race.
• Brendan has obviously taken a queue from his mom and claims to have nothing under his bed, not even a dust bunny!
• Pumkin is proud of his entire music collection.
• If Brendan could live in any time, he'd live during the Old West and surely get some use out of his previously mentioned cowboy boots.
