Who in the pinball industry would you like to be in their shoes for one day? And what would you do for that day?

Is this just a theoretical “to see how the other half lives” sort of scenario? Or are we talking some invasion of the body snatchers type thing. Like could I take over Gary Sterns body for a 24 hour period and conduct business decisions on his behalf like secure the rights to a new Dolly Parton pin (featuring Kenny Rogers) while controlling Gary like a marionette puppet?

Take your pick. I am now intrigued what you would do if you were Gary or if you could control him for one day!
If I could be Gary Stern for a day I would order the entire design and coding team to drop everything and make me three games....Jonny Quest, Spaceballs and The Ghost and Mr Chicken( Don Knotts movie).
Dwight Sullivan. Would be nice to have his knowledge about coding and game rules for a day. Maybe on a day where he’s just starting on a new game.
Anybody's. I hate shopping for apparel and my tennis shoes are about 10 years old. : ) But if it had to be one pinball person, this fellow. What would I do for the day? Try to figure out why I'm such an incredible pinball designing genius.

Steve Ritchie. I would only play video and pinball games that he worked on, and I would talk all day in the mortal kombat voice.
Edit. And before the end of each game I’d have to say “Finish him”

Quoted from thedarkknight77:Robert Muller............What a great life it must be being so delusional.
Either you didn’t read the question, or I have no idea what his pinball accomplishments are.
LTG.
I want to figure out how he became a walking encyclopedia, and how he is able to so selflessly teach us all about Pinball, while still running a full time business.
You rock, Lloyd.
Oh, and I wear Rainbow Sandals 99% of the time and I wouldn't want to wear anybody else's stinky shoes.
Quoted from DennisDodel:Don Hooker. Genius extraordinaire.
He knew a thing or three about mathematics and odds!
Quoted from phil-lee:Robin
The Big Guy, Head Honcho, Large Man in Charge.
Who Else?
Would you do anything (different) to Pinside?
I'm ready for the down votes, but I honestly can't think of anyone in pinball interesting enough that I'd want to walk in their shoes for a day LOL. But if I had to absolutely pick someone because my life depended on it, maybe HEP, just so I can learn some of his secret techniques?
Quoted from ausretrogamer:Would you do anything (different) to Pinside?
Probably not, it would only be for a day.
We had a contest at work to win "Plant Manager for a day" and the janitor won. Walked around in a suit and talked crap to everybody.
About the same the real Plant Manager did.
