If you could swap jobs for a day with anyone who would you swap with?
Me?
Easy…Matt Lauer. He’s a cool dude, seems to enjoy his job, and he get’s to meet a ton interesting people.

Rachael Ray. I love to cook, and meet interesting people, so her talk show would be the best of both worlds. And then that show of hers “$40 a Day” Where they pay her to travel around the country and find fabulous meaks to eat on a reasonable budget…come on! I’m there! I even have the raspy voice and everything!

Bob Tuschman
I’d love to see behind the scenes…
Kelly Ripa or Beth Moore……for pretty much the same reasons you said.
I love how you and Matt are almost standing the same way
While in Atlanta I hope you get to visit Melissa. Have a safe trip.
For one day: Lance Armstrong on the tour as he climbs a mountain. I disapprove of his lifestyle but sure would like to know the euphoria of a successful climb.

Matt Lauer would be my choice too…
If I had complete guarantee that I would be back home safely the next day, I would love to be an astronaut for one day and get a good look at outer space. I am sure it would have a radical impact on the way I live and on my relationship with God.

Mike Smith, jockey
I used to beg my parents to give me anti-growth hormones so I could be a jockey. (they didn’t….why are parents so mean? ha!)
I would trade with katdish. Oh, wait – that’s me.
Awesome.
katdish’s last blog post..It’s all about the comments, baby!
It would be Barbara Walters, b/c she too gets to meet and interview amazing people all the time!
I’d love to be a food critic. Always wanted to do that!

I would switch jobs with Tommy Smith (Local talk show radio host in Little Rock) I have wanted to be a DJ since I was a kid!
Randy Wood’s last blog post..An Icon Dies
Patsy Clairmont or Chonda Piece – just because I want to be funny and wise too
hmmmmmm, tough question.
Matt Lauer and Barbara Walters do have a cool jobs, but if I had to choose just one it would be a doctor. But I would only want to swap if their day consisted of giving people good news, curing their ailments and delivering babies. Is that asking too much?
*~Michelle~*’s last blog post..Moving Mountains
Pete Rouse – the “101st Senator” and a Senior Adviser to the President. I’d really like to work in the White House.
Chere’s last blog post..because my mind is elsewhere…
I am assuming that if we were to swap with someone for a day that we would also get their abilities for that day… cause how fun would it be to swap with a brain surgeon for a day and have no idea where the hypothalamus was located and that was the part that needed work on.
I could tell you that the patient would not be happy about the swap.
So, if I could swap for a day and have the abilities that go along with it… hmmm…
I can think of several so here are a few:
Fighter Jet Pilot – that would be so cool.
Popular Music Artist that can play an instrument and sing.
That person that stands on the nose of the killer whale as it jumps into the air. That has got to be some kind of rush.
The guy the guards the red button that would send us into nuclear war… I bet that there are at least two of them and I would be the world’s scariest prankster – for a day.
An oceanographer so that I could take a small submarine to the bottom of the ocean.
SO.. there are some of the things that I would do… I bet I can come up with some more.

I take that back Pete, I want to be a WWE super star!!!!!! I’m serious, man that would be so much fun!!
Randy Wood’s last blog post..LOOK OUT FOR COOTER!!!!!
Neil Armstrong. The only person who can say they were the first person on the moon. How cool would that be? Or any Firefighter
EASY! Osama Bin Laden. Now, wait a minute! I would convert to Christianity and then I would turn myself in. The next morning I would wake up and be ME again and Bin Laden would be captured.
The President of the United States. I would like one day to have the “bully pullpit” and tell America what I believe to be the truth about the state of polictics in America and the state of America in general. It wouldn’t change a thing but at least I would get it off my chest.
btw this is not singling out Obama. I would do it no matter what party was in the White House and no matter who was in office from that party.
Someone forward this on to the “powers that be” please.
Michelle, bring me my coffee…

No brainer! Derek Jeter. Shortstop for the New York Yankees! It doesn’t get any better than that.
Dave Ramsey. He has an extraordinary ministry and helps countless number of people everyday.
Oprah….i would be able to convey whatever information I like, to MILLIONS of people around the world in that one day. I would be a better steward of that opportunity than she is for sure!!!

Can you pick Bugs Bunny?
Cause he can make a wrong turn at Albuquerque and still have a good time. Plus he has an endless supply of carrots, he doesn’t have to wear shoes, he always has a lucky rabbit’s foot or two, and he hangs around with a bunch of Doctors.
Tony York’s last blog post..Shall We Gather at the River?
Samantha Brown from Great Hotels. I could totally do it. I would also like to host the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade at some point. I’m trying to figure out how to get that job (just once).
I would like to be a normal, average, redblooded American man for one day. Just to see how it compares/contrasts with being a woman.
I would like to swap places with a soldier to experience how a hero feels like.

Alison Krauss – as long as I could have her bell-clear voice, or Steffi Graf in her prime.
Matt Lauer? You want to be in a bigger fishbowl than you already are, or just because Brandi thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips?
Just don’t allow katdish to shamelessly self-promote here. Oops, too late.
Candy’s last blog post..Final Goodbye
@ttm, that’s a good one. However, I’m not volunteering to swap with you.
OHhhhh, Paula Deen! I’d spend have the day cooking up all those wonderful southern dishes (and since I’m fantasizing, it’s all non-fat & losing none of the flavor!), and the other half of the day eating it all! Yes, you all can come too!
The other person, Rich Mullins. For lots of reasons–his creativity in writing a song and ability to make beautiful music, his thoughts and opinions that didn’t fit any box, and the possibility that he was content with so little. Maybe I’ll just go ahead and practice that attitude anyway, Heaven knows I need the practice.
Tina Dee’s last blog post..Billy Coffey Tuesday – Let’s Meet on Billy’s Front Porch
That depends. Would I have to go through what they went through to get where they are? If yes, then no, I would rather not swap. However, if we just get to experience the good stuff, then I would like to swap with Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order SVU. She is beautiful and has done alot for abuse victims. Seriously. I know shallow, huh?

@ttm,
Its pretty awesome being a man (not that being a woman isn’t awesome), but its great being able to:
+ Automatically know what is wrong with the car when it makes a weird sound
+ Be able to fix whatever is wrong with the car when it makes a weird sound
+ Kill spiders (we don’t take them out unless directed by a woman to do so.. we just let them lie where they die… just the way God intended)
+ Not care that our ‘outfits’ are not coordinated or that we wore the same shirt just a few days ago. It doesn’t even have to be washed since the last time we wore it. And if someone else happens to be wearing the very same shirt we are, we laugh and talk about getting the memo. By the way, we NEVER notice if we are wearing the same pants as another guy – just doesn’t happen.
+ Go to the bathroom all by ourselves… no potty posse necessary, thank you.
+ Make a dinner out of Beef Jerky and a Ho Ho and not worry about the nutritional value.
+ Follow a belch with a witty saying and look like heroes to our children
+ Make finger pulling into a game that just keeps on giving from generation to generation.
Oh… the list just goes on and on.. I can see why you would want to switch with us for a day

Conan O’Brien.
For two reasons, the talk show and the hair, but mostly, the hair.

I would probably say Bono. Not only does he write amazing music and get to travel the world, he is using his fame/fortune for good causes and helping those in impoverished countries.
Didn’t Brandi say Matt Lauer was hot? haha
@Pete: It seems that whenever I bring this up, there are more women than men who would do a “gender swap.” I guess men really are afraid of estrogen! Or maybe that ancient Jewish prayer, “Blessed are you, Hashem, King of the Universe, for not having made me a woman.” lives on…
@Tony York: Thank you for giving me a taste of what it is to be a man. Actually, five of your attributes apply to me. Of course I won’t tell you which ones…
Joel Houston!
T. Rousey’s last blog post..Tear Down The Walls!!
Hands down Pete Wilson!
These are the first 3 that popped into my head:
1. Carrie Underwood.
2. Vanna White. (okay, don’t laugh. I read somewhere that she works 12 days a month and gets paid a ton… for turning letters, I mean just touching the letter).
3. Kristin Armstrong. (Lance’s former wife). She runs, and then writes about it for Runner’s World magazine. How fun is that?

Umm, Pete, this sounds like a good descrption of you. Are you Matt Lauer in disguise?
I love my job and can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. It would be nice to get paid though.

Art Wolfe…I’d love to travel to exotic places, use fancy high-end Canon cameras and take amazing photographs of wildlife and nature.

Beth Moore. Just a day though … I really love my life!
I’d love to walk in Beth’s shoes for a day to experience how she expresses her love for Jesus Christ! I’d have someone video tape my day as Beth so I could catch every nuance of the day.
Jason Arnott from the Nashville Predators….if I could play hockey. Would love to see what it is like to play in front of a sold out crowd

@katdish,
Does that mean that I get to be you? If so, deal!
You Wilsons have a thing for Matt Lauer.
Hummm … I don’t know who I’d be. I might trade with Jud just for one day. It would probably be really good for both of us.
I’ll keep thinking.
And I’m sure someone already mentioned it … but that picture of Matt looks eerily like the picture of you. Coincidence?
