1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: On Friday, when we're doing Nature Strip Radio and we

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: were selling somebody's waterbed for them, we found out that

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: I don't even know how you have to drain these

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: waterbeds so you can move it because they're obviously way

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: quite a bit and you can either join yourself with

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: a garden hose or and this was a big revelation

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: for all of us, you can hire someone to come

9
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 2: round and do that, drain your waterbed. And we all

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: have the same thought, Wait, that's a job.

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: That's a job.

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: These days, there are so many new jobs that didn't

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 2: exist ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. It's hard to keep

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 2: up now, Well, what actual people can earn a living doing.

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to imagine that that person is working

16
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 4: full time doing draining waterbeds all over the city.

17
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: But maybe I would imagine that it's one of a

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: number of things they drain.

19
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: What else would you drain if the drains you've.

20
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: Got a blockage, you've got a blockage in the shower

21
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: or down there. I think they are an expert in

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: anything to do with drainage.

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: You call the drainage going drain and pool. Maybe yeah. See,

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 3: once you stop brainstorming the world drainage is bigger than

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: we think. Guys.

26
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,560

00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: call them up and I've got a job that you

00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,920

Speaker 2: and they give you a little complimentary beer. We wait

41
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: for food and was chating to this other guy and

00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: you know, make it small talk.

43
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: What do you do? What do you do?

44
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: And this guy was an underwater welder and at first

45
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: I thought he was winding me up. I went underwater welding?

46
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: How does it work?

47

48
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: They have to stay down there because it's so deep.

49
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: So they have like a space but under.

50
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: Sink, a kind of big cabin down there with compression

51
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: chambers of that. But you were down there for a

52
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: month and it's really far down because these these big

53
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,640

Speaker 3: What do you do for living?

139
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 7: I got a job you've probably never heard of.

140
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 8: It's when the brand new cars come off the ship

141
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 8: in the docks.

142
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 7: What I do is I have to put the car up.

143
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 8: On the hoist, sit under it for about an hour

144
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 8: and a half two hours with a stick wrapped with

145
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 8: duct tape on the end of it, and go through

146
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 8: the whole underneath of the car, the engine bay, the

147
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 8: whole lot, and pick up little little, tiny seeds like

148
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 8: the size of a rice grain and pin them all

149
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 8: for quarantine.

150
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: So it's border force.

151
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 9: But for cars, yeah, there's little tiny seeds that come

152
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 9: from overseas and you've got to get them out for quarantine.

153
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 9: And then once you finish the car biosecurity come and

154
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 9: check the whole car. If they find one seed, you

155
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 9: have to redo the whole car.

156
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: Mimy. It is rigorous.

157
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: I remember when we emigrated here, we had had to

158
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: really clean all the older walking boots, the mountain bikes,

159
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: any bit.

160
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: Of seed overseas signing in this country. Pom me no way.

161
