  Speaker 2: be great.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: You're talking one from terminator too, Okay, all right, not

  Speaker 1: terminator one because he was here to kill you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's here to protect you in all situations exactly.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: That's not a bad choice.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: He's great.

• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Sarah Connor because well she looks great.

• 6:42
  Speaker 1: All right, let's begin with Jason is here? Hello Jason, Hello,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Hi Jason.
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: I have to say the Tony Stark one. I guess
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: it depends on like which version and how far Yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: towards the end, winning mature is like he's willing to
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: die for everybody.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. Yeah, he gets he gets the arc.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, but but I also have to say, though,
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: my my choice would be Barney Stinson from How I
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Met Your Mother. He's just always ready to party and
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: you're always gonna suit up.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's a jerk too. Why are we were
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: picking these jerk friends?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Is that the Neil Patrick Harris? Okay, all right, yeah,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: every clip I saw that he was being a jerk.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: And doesn't he like, yeah, notoriously leave his friends to
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: go with women.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he does that, but he you know, he's always
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: there for you.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, except for the.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna right off through.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, Let's.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Go to Jennifer. Jennifer, you got some explaining to do.
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: Here, okay, go ahead. Okay, So my best friend would
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: probably be Michael Michael Scott from the office.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Now, why you think he'd be a good friend.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: He is so cynical and sarcastic, and that's totally my personality.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Okay, if that, if.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You identify with him that, but he's not sarcastic. He
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: believes the things that he's saying, he's not.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: Okay, that's that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: He knows all the local restaurants like Sparrows and Chili's, Chilis.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, you can have him. Are you not going to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: fight you over Michael Scott?
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: Okay, thank you.
• 8:47

• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Somebody says, Leslie, no, so much enthusiasm and waffles.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, friend, Yeah, she would be an excellent choice as
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: opposed to Michael Scott, although she would exhaust me, I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think after a while. Uh, doctor who would be a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: good friend?
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Again? Can you go with him places it's not doctor?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you'd go with him. He always has a companion.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And they're saying, especially Matt Smith is doctor who. Okay,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: tigger again exhausting. Now some guys thought about this, Huh,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Genie from my dream of Genie.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: So she could do wishes for you?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: She could, yes, But here's that that relationship was always weird.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Oh she called him master. That's not okay.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: No, that well, that part was not okay. But here's
• 9:44
