A lot of dead people that's for sure. A host of public figures, writers, artists, musicians, directors etc. I'm sure Thomas Sowell would be fun to chat up as would Milton Friedman, Bernard Lewis, Eugene Volokh, Virginia Postrel, Tim Cavanaugh, Clive Barker, Lew Rockwell, Greg Djerejian, James Buchanon, the Tory Anarchist, Sacha Cohen, V.S Naipaul, Brian Doherty Gene Callahan, Dean Ripa, Roger Conant, people who recognize the brilliance of Cabaret Voltaire, love baseball and know the sagacity of the aristocratic anarchist Albert J. Nock. Pretty much anyone I can learn something from. Fedor Emelianenko, Mirko CroCop, Kazushi Sakuraba, Igor Vovchanchyn, Wanderlei Silva, Mauricio Rua, Bas Rutten and any other gentlemanly fighters.

Brian Doyle Murray too, because I find his voice pleasant to listen to. And of course, Bob Newhart and Don Rickles because if you don't find them funny, then there's something wrong with you.
