This week both the question and the illustration come from guests. The illustration comes courtesy Schuyler Korab (who loyal listeners will know from our Podcast), and the question Caitlin Korab.

Would you rather have a mask that let you:

A giant hamster

a tiny rhino

Results from last time:

In our most lopsided result to date (I think, don’t get all on my case if I’m wrong) people expressed a serious preference for the mask that would let them see through someone else’s eyes.

The most compelling argument IMHO was the ability to go on a tour of what dogs might be seeing... Although judging by my lazy dogs I imagine you might end up seeing a lot of the inside of dog eyelids.

My only argument for the voice mask is that in addition to getting the ability to speak in another person’s voice, you’d also be able to sing in their voice. I have a singing voice best described as terrible, so I’d love to try out someone else’s pipes.

The Would You Rather Podcast is
just a bit delayed this week.

I'm out and about in the world this week so the podcast scheduling got a little messed up. Have no fear, a new episode is on its way, just a little late. For the time being, give last week's episode a listen if you haven't had the chance yet.

Best Darn Responses.

Speak with someone else’s voice.

I’d just walk around narrating things as James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman.

Voice is fun, seeing is against privacy and not fun at all.

See through someone else’s eyes.

My mask also has dog vision and you know I’m going on a dog tour.

I would love to see through the eyes of people who practice thrilling sports like highline, basejump and similar stuff. Also, I love to listen to people’s stories on the subway so seeing as a spectator would also be nice.

It would be like watching tv for reals.

I have literally always wished that I could see what other people see. Like, why do I call this one color green, but other people call it blue? What are they seeing that I’m not? And why do some people love things that I would say are terribly designed? It’s mind blowing how different we can all see the same thing, which kind of makes me freak out a bit and think that everything I’m seeing is just my imagination. Seeing through other people’s eyes would just be so fascinating.
