[Unfortunately, the beginning of this transcript may not be the beginning of the interview, as I don't know how long it had been going on.]
Aashna: ...you play a character named Reb.
Gordon: Reb. The...
Aashna: The Captain.
Gordon: Captain, yes.
Aashna: And you're Yuna, the pilot.
Nicole: Yuna, the pilot, yeah.
Aashna: And you guys seem to have a little conflict happen, who's a little more powerful than the other...
Gordon [obviously joking]: No, there's no conflict. We all know who's a little more powerful. There's no question.
[Nicole rolls her eyes. Everybody laughs.]
Aashna: Defend yourself, Nicole!
Nicole [really mellow 'tude]: Well, he thinks he's the captain; I let him think he's the captain, I let him play his little part, but really, you know... [gestures to herself in a, "I'M da man!!" kinda way]
Aashna: You're really in charge.
Nicole: Yeah.
Gordon: Yuna holds the steering wheel and flies the ship, but Reb--
Nicole: I drive.
Gordon: Drives the ship.
Nicole: I drive.
Gordon: But Reb, he's captain by default, because somebody has to step into the role, but his official, technical placement on the ship is he's the engineer, so he controls the flowage--if that's a word--of power.
Aashna: Make it a word! Why not?
Gordon: He controls the official flowage on Deepwater Black--it's a word--of power. So he can decide what's going to happen by taking people's power away, in terms of we don't fight, because I've taken the power away from the guns, because I don't think we should fight, and it's always for a good cause.
[Gordon gives a teethy-smile and glances at everyone strangely as we weighs reactions after his "speech".]
Aashna: I was just, uh, staring at your shoes...
[Gordon and Nicole give a loud laughs]
Aashna: ...just going a little off-topic here, but you just have to take a look at these shoes.
Gordon: Yes, OK.
Aashna: Here they are.
[Camera goes down to his shoes, a pair of lightish bright blue plastic-y platforms with a slight heel (?). They look strangely like a pair sitting in my own closet! =D]
Aashna: And they're very bright blue. I don't think you can wear these on the show...
[Nicole keeps on laughing]
Aashna: ...why are they so high?
Gordon: They're so high--these are platforms, and I got platforms because my girlfriend, Michelle, is almost a foot taller than me, I think.
Nicole: I'm taller than you too.
Gordon: Everybody's taller than me, so I--
[The one thing about YTV interviews that are always a pest--THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME!!!!]
Aashna: But that's OK, because good things come in...
Aashna & Gordon: Small packages!
Aashna: Now we're going to show you a taste of what's going to happen next week, but Nicole, tell us a bit about it.
Nicole: Um, next week's episode is called Cycles, and I guess this would be a big episode for Yuna. The ship comes across another ship that is completely empty except for a little girl on it. And you'll have to watch the rest of it.
Aashna: OK, so let's take a look at next week's episode of Deepwater Black...
Aashna: OK, Nicole, you've gotta give us the rest. What's gonna happen?
Nicole: The rest of the Cycles episode?
Aashna: Yeah.
Nicole: Oh. Um. I'm allowed to say?
Gordon: No. Don't give it away. Don't give it away!
Aashna: OK, she's not giving it away.
Aashna:...Gord used to be a PJ but we'll tell you about that later on. Nicole--high school--tell me about high school!
Nicole: Why, what'd you hear? Bad things?
Aashna: Well, no, I didn't hear a lot of things, but take a look at this...
[A black-and-white picture pops up on the screen of Nicole in a rocking chair, "sleeping" with a book in her hand and a guy kneeling by her side.]
Aashna: Tell me about this.
[Both Nicole and Gordon give loud laughs]
Nicole: Oh my god! Where did you get that?!?! You know, I had to have a stroke in that scene, and one time, 'cuz I was on a rocker, I had my stroke, and I rocked right back off the stage! It was called White Manna, it was a play done at my school.
Aashna: It looks very dramatic, very very dramatic.
Nicole: Yeah, Yeah.
Aashna: OK...tell me about playing instruments and stuff like that.
[Nicole kind of goes, "Uhhhhhh...." quietly like she's really really reluctant]
Aashna: She's scared! OK, take a look at this one!
[Another black-and-white photo pops up, this one is of Nicole singing in a cheesy hat yelling into a "microphone". Her hair is going wild and is really really straight. A guy beside her is "playing" a "guitar". =D]
Nicole: Oh my god! Yeah, that was Air Band. That's my Eunice Barry (?) impersonation. What is that? Am I holding a broomstick?
Gordon: Nice hat. Very nice hat.
Nicole: Well, I thought I looked just like him, but, I don't know...
Gordon: And the hair!
Aashna: How 'bout you guys do a little bit of that if you want to...
Gordon: Do some air band? Sorry, I left my air guitar at home...
Nicole: I put those days behind me.
[NOTE: I am not sure if this is a joke or if this means they went to high school together and that guy "playing" a "guitar" was him, just to get that clear.]
Aashna: And you're moving forward now....
Nicole: Yeah, on to some real instruments, maybe... no, not even real instruments.
Aashna: So no band possibilities.
Nicole: No.
Aashna: But how about film possibilities?
Nicole: Film possibilities, yeah--I have a film coming out next spring called "CUBE".
Aashna: And what kind of character are you playing?
Gordon: A square.
Nicole: It's six people trapped in a big cube and it's got lots of traps and it's kinda scary and I play a young girl who is very good at math. I'm acting. Again, I'm acting.
Gordon: We're back with Nicole deBoer and Gordon Woolvett, or should I say, Gord the PJ Man...
Gordon: No, no--Gord the PJ Man was many, many years ago. I'm ex-Gord the PJ Man; now I'm just Gordon Michael Woolvett. I guess that was like 8 years ago.
[This is the end of the road, as far as the Gord the PJ Man story goes. Even though I had transcripted it, I'm cutting it out of here in respect to the fact that he is trying to forget it, and I'm sure the last thing he wanted was to have his past broadcast all over the internet (I originally had a sound captured of the entire Gord the PJ Man part of the interview, including the part with the clip of him doing the "thing"), so I'll only give the vitals. After Gord the PJ Man he went to host another show on YTV called Video Arcade and Top 10, and after that he cut his hair and it lightened on it's own, and he says it's not a dye job (but from the interview it looks like he's still got dark roots, so it might be a partial [shrug]).]
