Alien: "Well this is a bit awkward, I was going to ask you the same questions"

[artofcodeystevenson]

One of the many questions I would ask “can I get a ride around the universe?”

[phenomagator]

If humanity ever put together a "First Contact" team whose job it was to handle our communications with aliens, I would want Lex on it for sure.

[adamadict]

'How long have you been watching us?' and 'Are we living in a simulation?' and 'Is there life after death?' those would be my three questions.

[bizkid]

"Hey Mr. Alien is Mark Zuckerberg one of your people?"

[kwright]

I'd say "You want fries with that?"
I work at McDonalds

[adamjosiah]

Joe rogan asking an alien: “Have you ever done DMT?”

[fuzzymonkey]

"What do you do for fun" seems very significant.

[JValentineV]

Lex : 'tries' a why question.

Alien : *sighs* and pushes the button.

[st.parastoo]

The only question I would add is if they create any form of art or have appreciation for aesthetics! Where ideas and thoughts come from? These questions were amazing

[adammckenzie]

Just picturing lex in a space bar walking up to a grey alien and saying “hey there u come here often” haha 😂

[ellevenc]

Bravo.. this was awesome. Love to see humor, love, curiosity and education all tied together

[ConstructionFun]

Lex: "You come here often?"
Predator: "Only for hunting trips."
Sasquatch: "I camp out here so much it's like my second home."
Mork from Ork: "Nanoo Nanoo".
Elon Musk: "Shhhh..."

[nooblife]

Lex: “Is Elon Musk one of you guys?”
Alien: “I am your father”

[Brunes]

I would ask, “Could you show me exactly what you know? Also, are there others out there? Where are you from? Can you shed some light on the reason for my existence?”

[entrepreneurpodcasttv]

Good to know I'm not the only one spending time thinking about the questions I would ask them. Haha

[craigthescott]

Are we alone in the universe? Yes. So there’s no other civilizations out there? No there are but they are alone too.

[emreekcreative]

I would like to ask if they have any sort of art.

[EvilEAD]

I must say I really do enjoy your channel thank you😁

[morganrandall]
