Your telling me that the VP pick is/was also a gamer? I mean you really didn't need to try and sell me more on how fun and relatable he is, I was already there. Wonder what games he was into... might need to grab a beer with this guy.

He’s the kinda guy you grab a beer with and talk shit about the Vikings and show him your remodel ideas for dad-input

As he politely and oh so fatherly tells you how horrible of a caulking job you did on the new tub, then he comes back on Saturday and regrouts it all for you.

This is EXACTLY how I envision him handling a situation like this.

So wait, in this scenario I put caulk where I should have grouted? I mean that would have to be fixed.

This is all my friends and I do now when we hang out (in person) it seems. We’re all late 30s. That sounds awesome.

Quick. Someone ask Walz what his favorite MCU movie is.

lol. As if playing video games isn't a plus for anyone becoming VP.

We are definitely having an old-school Halo tournament with this guy.

And Dreamcast was kinda niche at the time so I'm just guessing it's gotta be some cool strange games like Shenmue or Seaman

I believe he’s sober…

Eh, a root beer then. He just seems like he'd be a lot of fun to hangout with.

“He likes beer” was gonna be Charlie’s next gotcha tweet.

Y'know, out of all of the possible vices we've seen in political leaders... I'm very okay with this one.
