2015-05-29 Rerun commentary: It'd be interesting if there was a choice of where to end up after your mortal body has died. Of course, if this was the choice, I expect there'd be a lot more ghosts haunting people than there seem to be.

You get to pick your afterlife, but without knowing which door corresponds to which afterlife. After choosing a door, an otherworldly host opens one of the doors you didn't choose to reveal an afterlife populated by goats. The host then asks if you'd like to switch your choice to the other unopened door...
