Cruzer 1,993 Posted November 21, 2017 You're hosting a dinner, which 4 celebrity (living) guests would you invite? Dan Jenkins - legendary sports writer, his personal knowledge of Hogan and the old days are invaluable - could listen to him for hours. Barry Switzer - an encyclopedia of football knowledge, the stories this guy has are 2nd to none - not to mention he's funny as hell. Bill Clinton - politics aside, one of the most charismatic Prez we've ever seen. Plus, he'd prolly call up some strippers after we've eaten. Neil deGrasse Tyson - I could sit and talk to this guy all day long. Totally fascinated with astrophysics and the universe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gladiators 1,914 Posted November 21, 2017 Spinoff...What's on the menu and where is dinner? I just don't give a fock about celebrities in general. I'd probably sit down with a HOF from each major sport who is going to have a few drinks and tell stories. Favre Jordan Gretzky Bonds - Not HOF, but would fit in fine with this group and evens things out so as to not be racist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant guy but there are for more accomplished astrophysicist and he is more or less just the poster boy. Agreed he's a poster boy. That's why he makes the list.

So more or less you want to eat with him so people could say "look who he is eating with!!!" rather than actually having an enlightening conversation? He is just really pompous man. He treats people like sh!t to when they have a simple question. He is guaranteed to piss you off at some point in that dinner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is just really pompous man. He treats people like sh!t to when they have a simple question. He is guaranteed to piss you off at some point in that dinner. I'm saying he's entertaining and brilliant. Both important qualities for someone I would want to dine with. Not sure what that has to do with "look at Mee!!" As far as him treating people like sh!t, I've never seen it. Used to listen to his podcast and he was informative, friendly, and smart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
