GQ: What women want. Let's talk about that.
Genesis Rodriguez: This is a campaign for men. We're here to help guys out.
GQ: You say in the spot that you're all about the hairless guys. Is it true?
Genesis Rodriguez: I like when a guy has his shirt off and I can see his chest and his abs. When it's all smooth, you can see a lot. I've never not dated a guy because he's had hair, ever. But he'd better as hell trim it. I'm Latin. I know. We're just hairier people. It's about taming the beast.
GQ: Look sharp. Live smart. That's what we're all about here at GQ.
Genesis Rodriguez: Girls like to see a guy who takes care of himself. It says a lot about him.
GQ: What was it like working with Kate and and Hannah?
Genesis Rodriguez: Oh Kate's awesome. She's a really fun, sweet girl. So is Hannah. They're very opinionated, and I love opinionated girls.
GQ: Opinionated? Was there a specific conflict we should know about?
Genesis Rodriguez: Kate said something like, "Oh, if a guy has back hair, and he doesn't have a problem with it, and he's confident..." and I was just, "No." I understand confidence, but it's just not cute.
GQ: The velcro look.
Genesis Rodriguez: It's not something that you want to see, you know? Would you like to see my back all hairy?
GQ: I see your point.
Genesis Rodriguez: It's not something that I'd want, personally. But Kate says if they're confident and they "rock" the hairy back, then that's cool. But I disagree.
GQ: Let's switch gears. As you are our Miami Heat correspondent...
Genesis Rodriguez: I know! This is the biggest honor you could give me. The Miami Heat started following me on Twitter and they sent me gear. We're going to the finals and my butt is going to be there. I'm not working at all. I'm just gonna be a fan.
GQ: Apparently, they know they're going to the finals too, with LeBron and Wade sitting out. How do you feel about it?
Genesis Rodriguez: I totally feel it. Look, we beat the Spurs without them. I think we have to actually give more confidence to the bench. Bosh needed this. Shane Battier is a great leader defensively, Chris Andersen... they just need to let themselves out, because once you put LeBron and Wade into the equation, you know something good is going to happen.
GQ: How'd you feel about the streak ending?
Genesis Rodriguez: I'm not even gonna lie, I choked up. But nobody was expecting them to finish that streak, I think. 51 days, 27 games, one day rest, one day not, it's just impossible. Everyone wanted it, but why? We want a ring. I want to celebrate in a parade in Miami in June! I want to bang my pots and scream and walk in the parade and all of that stuff. I couldn't care less about the streak.
GQ: I have a good feeling you'll be there.
Genesis Rodriguez: Thank you.
GQ: So you've gotta give the ball to one Heat player to take the last shot. Who's it gonna be?
Genesis Rodriguez: LeBron. Without a doubt. LeBron has a different mindset. LeBron knows he's gonna make that shot. I think two years ago everyone said he wasn't that player, he wasn't clutch, but now he is. It's about age, it's about maturity, it's about confidence, and LeBron's there. He's there.
GQ: I've got a question, and we ask this to athletes that come in, but I'm gonna ask you because I know you know this stuff inside and out.
Genesis Rodriguez: I'm almost there. I'm practically an athlete.
GQ: So there's a Zombie apocalypse. Walking Dead-style. Who do you want in your corner?
Genesis Rodriguez: Zombies are coming?
GQ: Zombies are coming.
Genesis Rodriguez: I definitely want someone strong. I think my sure bet is LeBron...no, Pat Riley. That guy can outsmart anybody. So yeah, Pat Riley.
