QUESTION OF THE DAY: Time Machine Telephone

Scenario:
You have come into possession of a time machine telephone. This phone has the power to CALL anyone from any point in history, It does not give you time traversing powers.

Question: Who would you call and why? What would you talk about?

extra info:
1)The phone has a translator built in to it so if the person you wish to call does not speak your language, you can still understand them. (i.e. If I wish to call Socrates I can call him without worry of not understanding him)

2)The person does not have to live in a time period where telephones are available. (i.e. They did not have phones in the colonial period but If I wish to call George Washington I may do so.)

3) You CANNOT call yourself in the future to see who won all the sports games so that you may bet on them and make bank.

4) You CANNOT sell the time machine phone to become rich and famous.

GO!

They had one of these phones on South Park and the people of the future used it for prank calls.

I'd call Michael Bay and tell him not to make Transformers 2.
Actually I'd tell him to retire about 10 minutes after he finished making The Rock. I love that movie, but goddam everything else he does is a crime against humanity.
