1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: First, yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 2: Found out that the rapper Snoop Dogg has a professional

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: joint roller who has to roll him one hundred and

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: fifty a day. That is to say, Snoops up for

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, twelve hours, fourteen hours. That's a lot.

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: That's a lot, Okay, one hundred and fifty day. So

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: the headline was about one hundred and fifty joints a

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: day for Snoop Dogg. That wasn't a really big takeaway

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: from me. He has a professional joint roller. He what

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: did he like run interviews? What's the recruitment policy that

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: person's got like sick an entitlement and a package and

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: what like a bonus STRUCTURER and stuff like that. I

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: can't believe he actually employs someone whose job it is

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: just to roll his joints.

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get a repetitive stress in jest well from

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: doing the thing movement one hundred and fifty times a day.

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if this was like the sixties or seventies,

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: and it was for Keith Richards and you heard about

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: the story, that you understand that. But in twenty twenty two,

20
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: I thought, what a stray job for somebody. So this morning,

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: what is the strangest almost unusual job you've had? This

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So Snoop Doggie Dog

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: has someone he employs a full time joint roller. Okay,

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: tell you what is a busy guy this joint ron?

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: You think, well, that's an easy gig. No, you got

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 2: to make a undred and fifty a day for Snoop Dogg?

27
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: Would they kill a man?

28
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: What's smoking that amount? Or making them? I know you're

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: you're you're allergic to hard work. Which are you more

30
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: worried about?

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 3: Meaning the smoking? Day after day? Every would take its toll.

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell h much still about meeting Snoop Dogg?

33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is a horrendous story. Right years ago,

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: I was went to see a median friend of mine

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 2: do a gig and I went to see him backstage

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: and he was like very very famous again and he'd

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: been doing a lot of work out in America and

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: backstage or just in the green room, happened to be

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: loads of different people on tvings that and as part

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: of an entourage, and there was a there was billowing

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: smoke every when I don't mean like when people would

42
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: smoke indoors. I mean Snoop Dogg Worth, Yes, all the dope.

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: The center of it was Snoop Dogg. And I got

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: introduced to him and he had like this. He had

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: like it the law tracksuit and chain he was. He

46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: looked magnificent and anyway he had this. Honestly, it was

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: like a It looked like a sub sandwich of a joint.

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: I must have looked like a knock. I didn't they

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: come to that big so and he's obviously a polite man.

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: He's introduced to me and he goes, he sort of

51
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: passed it to me, and I didn't know what to say.

52
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: I went, I went like this, I had some early enough, No,

53
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: I had one earlier. I hadn't I had some of

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: that earlier. You know, you get a bit for up. Actually, yeah,

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: I've had too much. Actually, to be honest, I had

56
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: ten of those on the way here. So I've just

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: got to give it another hour two yours actually quite.

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: All right.

59
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: So what is the weirdest, most unusual job you ever had?

60
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: Nine four one four one oh four three Chris, good morning,

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: Good morning, So Chris, what is the most unusual job

62
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: you've ever had.

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 5: Well, I'm currently a snake etcher. I think that's pretty unusual.

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 5: And previously I've been a professional adventurer.

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: So what is what do you mean? Like Indiana Jones?

66
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: What's a professional adventurer?

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: So similar to how an athlete works in terms of

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 5: the job, but rather than playing a sport, you just

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: do very weird things.

70
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: But who's pay to do that?

71
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean where's the coin coming from? Who's the

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: man at the top of the pyramids.

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 5: You just come up with a bad idea. People jump

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 5: on board and you get sponsorships, You become ambassadors for

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 5: companies and things like that, and that's how you get

76
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: paid for the job. So the last expedition was kayaking

77
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: the wrong way up the Murray River. Fits on a

78
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 5: half thousand gates.

79
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: This is these feel like ideas. You come up with

80
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: the pub we're going to rodeo around Australia and so who.

81
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: Paid for that one? Chris, give us an example of

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: the company.

83
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: Why she'd got the wrong way?

84
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: Just do the that's aggressive Geelong Kat's actually jumped on board.

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 5: We had Paddy Palin based in Melbourne, big adventure company

86
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: we had. We're in a System's Kaiaks who sent basically

87
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 5: a clack and a paddle every year for a while

88
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 5: while was ambassador. So companies like that basically genuinely fascinating.

89
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: I feel like we should do a competition to come

90
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: up with your next adventure.

91
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 5: I'm up for that.

92
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: What's the most impressive thing you've ever done, Chris, we'll

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: go up the Merry River the wrong way starts from.

94
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: It'd probably be that one going in the wrong way

95
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: up that was That was pretty difficult.

96
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: But it's not like the rapids. It's not like Niagara

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 2: for pretty steady body of water, isn't it the Murray?

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: It gets pretty fast in the top rangers.

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: Have to take you word for it, all right, Chris,

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.

101
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: Keep the calls coming. Then, the weirdest job you ever had?

102
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to the question O Carl's Show podcast.

103
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: Jack was the strangest job you ever had?

104
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: When Hamish and Andy were still on Row, they wanted

105
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: to film this bit where they were taxi drivers overnight,

106
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: so they would pick up people and then film them

107
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 3: and interview them where they're in the taxis. But they

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 3: wouldn't let them have the taxi license unless they actually

109
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: sat the test and did the full setup that you

110
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: have to that every taxi driver has to go through.

111
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 3: The only exception they gave them is they were allowed

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 3: to do the tests at the radio station instead of

113
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: doing it at the taxi school. So my first paid

114
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 3: job on Hamershan Andy was to learn study the taxi

115
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: tests and sit the taxi test for them.

116
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: You know why for them?

117
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 3: Sat the test for him. So I sat in a

118
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: room at the radio station and tried to use different

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: handwriting for Hamish's tests.

120
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: I did.

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: And answer questions like, if you were going from Corefield

122
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: to the airport, what route would you do?

123
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Mick. Good morning, Mick. What's

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: the intest job you ever had?

125
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 6: Mick?

126
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, I hope you ready for this. I worked

127
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: artificially in seminating turkeys.

128
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: Well, someone's going to do it. You know, we won

129
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: the turkeys, then they're going to be made somehow. Someone

130
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: has to do that. And how tricky is that?

131
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Well, apparently because I don't want enough for commercial purposes.

132
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: It's a tour of person operation. One of them comes up, Oh, darling,

133
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: my name's Mick, grabbed a turkey, shoved its head between

134
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: its legs, turns it upside down for the other person

135
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: to get a syringe. And in seminade's.

136
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: Quite a two man job of that, isn't it? How

137
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: you make an eye contact when you're doing that.

138
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Now, a little bit of small talk and you know,

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: small talk.

140
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 2: How the tiger is going to go next season?

141
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got to move. You've got to move quick, Mike,

142
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: you don't get an ugly one.

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

144
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Mick, thank you very much.

145
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 6: She cool?

146
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: How are cis?

147
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 6: Uh?

00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: Frank? Good morning?

149
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 6: Oh good morning?

150
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: Oh good whating Frank? So what's the strangest job you

151
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: ever had? Frank?

152
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 6: I had to extract gophers from graves in Queen's Park

153
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 6: Cemetery in Calgary, Canada because they used to bring up

154
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 6: the the treasures of the loved the loved ones. So

155
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 6: it was it was it was basically like Caddy Shack

156
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 6: with Bill Murray's character.

157
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: If you can almost feel like this should have been

158
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: the second Caddy Shak movie where Bill Murray is now

159
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,120

Speaker 2: of those damn gophers.

161
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: So the gophers were like little grave diggers.

162
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, they kept bringing up little piles of things like well,

163
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 6: we'll just say metal objects and things and.

164
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,600

Speaker 4: like that, and yeah, and we did it in a

169
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: very human manner, but it was some Yeah, I had

170
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 4: a bit of a reputation in that cemetery sort of

171
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 4: because it was the year that that movie came.

172
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: So you are so Canadian, and of course being Canadian,

173
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: you've done it an incredibly humane way. You probably would

174
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: have sat with all for thirty years until these died

175
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: of natural causes in a room.

176
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: Think of the families, Think of the loved ones of

177
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: the decease.

178
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: So are they are they somehow I'm actually get into

179
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: the coffins or these are they work?

180
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 6: I don't know how they do it, but they've got

181
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 6: very sharp teeth. I don't know if you're seen a golfer,

182
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 6: but I.

183
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: Haven't had that pleasure yet my life. But still time,

184
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: you know, still trying to take that off my bucket

185
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: like a.

186
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 6: Little beaver of minus the flat tail.

187
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: So they will just burrow their weight into the coffin,

188
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: have a little look around the corpse, and then take

189
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: what they want.

190
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 6: That's what it seemed to be.

191
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: I think that's why the Queen's coffin was iron clad.

192
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: Stop the gophers.

193
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,680
