The Gentleman's Drink - 005 - Viewer Mail
In this episode Gregory Oaks and Benjamin Barley drink 2 kinds of Captain Morgan: The regular spiced rum and the private stock. Many e-mails were sent in with viewer questions, so Greg and Ben take the time to answer as many as possible. A true gem is 'Who would win in a fight: Optimus prime or a Dragon from the Reign of Fire movies"

Hmm
As a gentleman, I must admit that I would be disinclined to pursue any girl who would desire to sleep with me on the first date. If she gave herself up so easily, it would just take the fun out of the pursuit.
On fighting, the sucker punch is the best punch. Having taken martial arts since the age of 5, I have come to the conclusion that humans can deal more damage than we can take. Therefore, offense is the greatest defense. A quick jab to the stomach (usually with the non-dominant hand) to get the guy to bend over, followed immediately by a knee to the face (supported by the dominant hand on the guy's head), followed immediately by opposite knee to the reproductive organs, ends any fight within a few seconds. This also frees me up for the next guy, who will usually not want to fight any longer (I have yet to get in a fight where there is only one guy).
A good fight is a fast fight.
On the matter of the fight between Prime and the dragon, come on, Optimus Prime would win, hands down. Prime rips apart a decepticon, which means that he has immense strength, which is expected from an inorganic life-form. We also see from the second movie that Prime is very agile given his size. Therefore if the dragon ever got in range of Prime, even if it is to throw him somewhere, Prime would just rip it in two. If the dragon, therefore, submitted to just frying Prime from a distance, the dragon could not get in range to breathe fire at Prime, due to Prime's guns having a greater kill range than an organic flamethrower.

you may have a point with
you may have a point with optimus' weapons range vs. the dragon's range, but we're forgetting that optimus can't fly and his weapons are powered by energon. given that the fight takes place on earth, optimus would have to find a source of energon and a way to distill it into a cube (raw energon radiation is destructive to transformers) before the dragon just ate someone to revitalize themselves. if they avoided the initial attack by optimus, my money is on the dragon by persistence attack.
i, too, prefer the plumb clinch to deliver knees. they are usually unexpected, and most people, even fighters, don't know how to break or defend the plumb. knees are best delivered to the chest and face.
Pyrat
I actually poured a glass of rum before I pulled up your video. Ironic... But I suggest a spiced rum bottled by Patron called Pyrat. It is the best rum I have tasted to date. (Not that I am that experienced. :P)

never heard of pyrat...
never heard of pyrat... patron is deadly, though. i was once taken ill advantage of by an asian cougar that plied me with shots of patron and starbursts.
nice!
The Private stock I have actually had on ice before. A whole bottle to be precise. I thought it was pretty good for a spiced rum. It finishes smooth and has a ton of flavor.
Now, as Gentlemen, do you really think there is no such thing as a fair fight? I agree with you, don't get me wrong, sucker punches and nut kicks are great first strikes. Just curious.
I have had just the opposite experience with sleeping with women on the first date. Usually the girls I slam on the first encounter end up being the ones I have relationships with. Maybe that's because there is so much chemistry, who knows. And that's not to say I haven't had long relationships with girls that make me wait either. Guess it's about 50/50 on my end.
In the original cartoon, only the Decepticons could fly, if I remember correctly.
Vader.
Lol great episode fellas!
