You can have lunch with one historical figure, who is it and why?

Cleopatra so I can see what the fuss was all about.
 
George Carlin so I can laugh my butt off the entire time.

This is my favorite answer. The Pyramids absolutely baffle me, and I need answers.

Same. Was it really Aliens and some out of this world technology? Lol. Only way I see it at this point because today's technology couldn't achieve how these were built... So baffling as you mentioned. I'd absolutely love to know how they did it in ~2550 B.C.... 🥴
 
Outside of Jesus… ? Do I get to meet them in their prime?
I’ll have lunch with Thomas Jefferson, the most intelligent POTUS.
I’ll have dinner with Ric Flair, like 1986 Ric Flair.

If it’s 86 Flair your drinkin your dinner
 
Julius Caesar was my first thought, so I'll go with him.

I wouldn't want to say Jesus......too worried it would end up like this

 
Helen of Troy. I love Ancient Greece and guessing she would be a looker with some wild stories.

As much as some of these names would be interesting, there would be such a crazy disconnect between us.

You'd probably spend more time telling Washington about pop tarts and tik tok than he would telling you about anything.

One of my favorite historical facts: Washington died before the discovery of dinosaurs, so he had no idea they ever existed. But describing pop tarts in great detail would be objectively hilarious.
 
This is such a fascinating question because the answers are endless.

Oppenheimer would be fascinating. MLK would be very high up the list. Julius Caesar would be crazy interesting. Cleopatra has to be top 5. Johnny Cash would be up there for me.

I know this doesn’t count, but if we could do Greek mythology, Achilles or Patroclus or Hector or Paris would all be insanely fascinating.

Stu Unger is such an underrated choice. Doyle Brunson is on my list
 
Obvious answer is Jesus. I would only ask one question and then do everything I could to listen.

Aside from that, I have a small list.

George Washington
Pat Tillman
Bugsy Siegel
James Gandolfini
