I started to think about something the other day when I posted something about “Jersey Shore,” aka the greatest television show ever created. I have enjoyed watching The Situation so much, I decided he ranked among the top five people I wanted to have a beer with.<\/p>\n

I remember a guy I went to college with telling me that he couldn’t really trust a guy until he sat and had a beer with them. I tend to agree. Even if you don’t drink, the casual attitude at a bar really lets you learn a lot about a person. Plus, a beer takes somewhere between 20 and 40 minutes to drink at a casual pace, so that’s plenty of time to get to have a substantive conversation with someone you find interesting.<\/p>\n

The only problem with that declaration was that I don’t recall ever considering what four other people would make the list (inspired by a great storyline<\/a> on “Friends”). That changes right now. Without further ado, my top five in no particular order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Situation, formally known as Mike Sorrentino<\/span><\/a><\/sup>. He has burst onto the scene with his bravado and humor from “Jersey Shore. He has blown me away with appearances an appearance on The Tonight Show and a Funny or Die video<\/a> which slayed me.<\/li>\n
  2. Peter Buck, guitarist for R.E.M. He was the driving force in the rock return of Accelerate,<\/em>the band’s most recent album. He plays in several other groups, including The Baseball Project, and is a total music geek. To top it off, the humor and insight of the liner notes he sometimes contributes to the band’s projects would provide for lots of conversation.<\/li>\n
  3. Bill Lawrence, creator of “”Scrubs.” My man crush<\/a> on the man behind one of my favorite TV shows is well known. We almost went to college together. I could have been his right-hand man. Plus, he provides the most refreshing interviews I have ever read. Easily a two-beer conversation.<\/li>\n
  4. Jason Segal, “How I Met Your Mother” and Judd Apatow movies. He just seems cool.<\/li>\n
  5. Rhett Miller, singer, guitarist from the Old 97s. Ever since I saw him play earlier this year, I have had a slight obsession with the band’s music. A writer and terrific performer, I would love to swap stories with a guy who wrote a line “My name is Stuart Ransom Miller, and I’m a serial lady killer.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s the list, for now. Like all endeavors in this vein, I will probably think of someone else later, and I reserve the right to change things. I also disqualified people like Tim Quirk and Charlie Todd, who I have interviewed for my dear, departed podcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
