- 0:11Speaker 2: There we go.
- 0:12Speaker 1: There we go. I'm just going to have to start
- 0:14Speaker 1: changing that. I just don't think I can say Rapid
- 0:16Speaker 1: Dave anymore.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Nope.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Change it.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Yep.
- 0:20Speaker 1: We're here to have a beer and just have a conversation.
- 0:23Speaker 1: We're going to talk about, so you got a list
- 0:25Speaker 1: from AI for the top five fictional characters to have
- 0:30Speaker 1: a beer with. And we're going to discuss your list.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I might throw some guesses out there. And, you know,
- 0:39Speaker 1: just have a beer and talk about it. How about that?
- 0:42Speaker 2: My number five can be number one. I'm just going
- 0:44Speaker 2: to say that right now. Okay. Fictional characters, right?
- 0:48Speaker 1: Right.
- 0:49Speaker 2: All right. Number five, Tyrion Lannister.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Okay. All right.
- 0:55Speaker 2: It says the vibe, sharp whip, sharp wit, and expensive taste.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Why him? Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion Tyrion Lannister. Is that his
- 1:04Speaker 2: middle name, too? But he said he drinks and he
- 1:07Speaker 2: knows things. A night with him guarantees great wine or
- 1:10Speaker 2: a strong ale, razor-sharp humor, and zero boring moments. Just
- 1:15Speaker 2: make sure you stay out of the family politics.
- 1:18Speaker 1: There we go. All right. I would love to have
- 1:22Speaker 1: a drink with old Tyrion. I know. That would be fun.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I'm definitely in on that. Yeah? 100%. Sold.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Okay. Sold.
- 1:33Speaker 1: All right. Who we got next on the list? Let
- 1:35Speaker 1: me throw a guess out there and see if this
- 1:37Speaker 1: guy's on the list. I got a couple names I
- 1:39Speaker 1: want to throw out there.
- 1:39Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Let's see if they're on this list. One, Homer Simpson.
- 1:45Speaker 2: He is numero uno on this list.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Okay. All right. All right.
- 1:48Speaker 2: The vibe. Pure, simple fun. Why him? Homer treats Homer
- 1:53Speaker 2: Simpson as his absolute favorite thing in the world, which
- 1:56Speaker 2: is kind of weird. Sitting next to him at Moe's
- 1:59Speaker 2: Tavern means you get zero heavy life talk. You get
- 2:03Speaker 2: goofy jokes, salty snacks, and appreciation for a fresh pour.
- 2:07Speaker 1: There we go. Bam! That's a good one.
- 2:10Speaker 2: That's a good one.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I'm going to say.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Norm. Norm Peterson is number three. Just watched his show yesterday.
- 2:19Speaker 2: I was watching it yesterday from Cheers. The vibe. Professional
- 2:23Speaker 2: bar stool warmer. Why him? Norm walks into Cheers. Everyone
- 2:26Speaker 2: knows his name. He knows every joke, every witty one-liner,
- 2:31Speaker 2: and how to pace a drinking night. You will never
- 2:34Speaker 2: run out of conversation or a warm smile with Norm around.
- 2:38Speaker 1: There we go. Let's see here. So I got two
- 2:41Speaker 1: left on the list. I got number two and number four. Does.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Kind of rando. Kind of rando on these.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Kind of rando. Does Al Bundy make the list?
- 2:51Speaker 2: Does not.
- 2:52Speaker 1: That's it.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Al Bundy doesn't drink a lot of beer on the show.
- 2:54Speaker 2: I think he has like one or two while the
- 2:56Speaker 2: game's on or if he's down at the no ma'am rally.
- 2:59Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Right.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I mean, which is let's let's go to the one.
- 3:04Speaker 2: I'll tell you this. One is part of a infamous
- 3:09Speaker 2: animated show. OK, it's based here in Texas. OK, that's
- 3:13Speaker 2: a kill. Hank Hill's number two.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Was going to be my next guest was Hank Hill.
- 3:19Speaker 2: The vibe, quiet, polite, and honest. Why him? Hank is
- 3:22Speaker 2: the ultimate guy to stand in an alley with. He
- 3:24Speaker 2: will talk about lawn care, propane, and simple values. He
- 3:27Speaker 2: is steady, calm, and will make sure you get home
- 3:30Speaker 2: safe after a couple crisp-a-loggers.
- 3:33Speaker 1: There we go. Does it... I don't know that this
- 3:40Speaker 1: guy's necessarily a beer guy, but a guy I would
- 3:43Speaker 1: love to have a drink with, which will probably end
- 3:45Speaker 1: up being whiskey, is the great Ron Swanson.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Nope which would be really good this one think there's
- 3:53Speaker 2: a trilogy a movie trilogy and books obviously um not
- 3:59Speaker 2: surrounding this guy but this guy plays a massive part.
- 4:02Speaker 1: In it a massive part in a trilogy.
- 4:08Speaker 2: It's a movie series about walking.
- 4:12Speaker 1: About walking um is it which guy it's lord of
- 4:18Speaker 1: the rings okay is it gimli nope is it it's
- 4:25Speaker 1: not bilbo is.
- 4:26Speaker 2: It no think bigger think bigger like tall stature as
- 4:31Speaker 2: well it is gandalf from lord of the rings okay
- 4:35Speaker 2: the vibe ancient wisdom and amazing stories why him forget
- 4:40Speaker 2: the doom and gloom of saving middle earth from one
- 4:42Speaker 2: evening sharing a pipe And a nail with Gandalf means
- 4:46Speaker 2: you're listening to unbelievable tales of old times, magic secrets,
- 4:50Speaker 2: or secret magic, and deep laughs. He is wise, kind,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and surprisingly fun when he relaxes.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Okay.
- 4:57Speaker 2: So your top five will go T to B, or
- 5:00Speaker 2: B to T, as I always do. Tyrion Lannister, Gandalf,
- 5:04Speaker 2: Norm Peterson, Hank Hill, and Homer Simpson. How do you
- 5:07Speaker 2: feel about that list?
- 5:11Speaker 1: I'm not big. I don't think Gandalf would be in
- 5:13Speaker 1: my top five.
- 5:14Speaker 2: No? Just hear the tall tales and the craziness? Yeah.
- 5:18Speaker 2: It's going to be chill? Maybe some fireworks in the background?
- 5:21Speaker 1: Give me Al Bundy first.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:26Speaker 1: So when you talk about Norm, I don't think of
- 5:28Speaker 1: just drinking with Norm. If it appeases the court, I
- 5:34Speaker 1: want Norm and Cliff. I need both.
- 5:37Speaker 2: They're across the bar, so you're going to sit in
- 5:39Speaker 2: the middle?
- 5:40Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the middle of them. Okay. Because they
- 5:42Speaker 1: sit next to each other. Okay.
- 5:43Speaker 2: No, in the early series, they sat across from each other.
- 5:46Speaker 2: One's on the other side.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Of the bar. But later, they're next to each other, right?
- 5:50Speaker 2: They get closer, yeah.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Yeah, give me those two guys, and let me just
- 5:54Speaker 1: kind of– right there in the middle of them, right?
- 5:56Speaker 1: I'll sit in the middle of them.
- 5:57Speaker 2: Yeah, wedge in there?
- 5:58Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think that would be a good time.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I think Peter would be a good time, obviously.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Griffin?
- 6:07Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Things are going to get out of hand. Right. Right.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Um, someone who's really high on my list that I love, uh,
- 6:16Speaker 1: Charlie Kelly. Always sunny.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Charlie. I'd rather drink a Frank to be
- 6:24Speaker 2: honest with you. Charlie's two wheels off for me.
- 6:27Speaker 1: But just, just think about the, the crazy crap you're
- 6:31Speaker 1: going to hear him say, right?
- 6:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Like the episode where they're, we're spying on that other bar.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Dennis has got that black trench coat on and there's
- 6:39Speaker 1: a door over there. It says private. He's like, well
- 6:42Speaker 1: that door there says pirate on it you mean the
- 6:45Speaker 1: door that says private i didn't say private i didn't
- 6:47Speaker 1: say private.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Because it was spelled everything because you can't read if
- 6:50Speaker 2: it does spell right.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Yeah yeah but no that's a that's a solid a
- 6:58Speaker 1: solid list i will say um another guy from the
- 7:04Speaker 1: simpsons i wouldn't mind having a beer with old barney
- 7:06Speaker 1: gumbel I.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Mean, you're just going to get blackout drunk with him
- 7:09Speaker 2: at that point. You might as well drink with the
- 7:10Speaker 2: two dudes from Groundhog's Day.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Okay. You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
- 7:17Speaker 2: I mean, it's not terrible, but they don't have a
- 7:20Speaker 2: lot going on. They've lived in this town forever. There's
- 7:23Speaker 2: nothing to them, man. There's nothing to them.
- 7:26Speaker 1: When you say two dudes, I think of, now they're
- 7:28Speaker 1: not known for drinking, although I like to think they
- 7:31Speaker 1: probably had a few. The two old guys in the
- 7:35Speaker 1: balcony on the Muppets.
- 7:40Speaker 2: That might be okay that might be alright I'll allow.
- 7:43Speaker 1: It just sitting up there having a few and just
- 7:45Speaker 1: heckling everybody come on it doesn't get any better than
- 7:49Speaker 1: that getting thrown out yeah why not getting thrown out
- 7:53Speaker 1: of classier places than this I doubt it but you
