Speaker 1: First, yeah, welcome friends to the Christian O'Connell show podcast.
Speaker 2: Found out that the rapper Snoop Dogg has a professional
Speaker 2: joint roller who has to roll him one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty a day. That is to say, Snoops up for
Speaker 2: I don't know, twelve hours, fourteen hours. That's a lot.
Speaker 2: That's a lot, Okay, one hundred and fifty day. So
Speaker 2: the headline was about one hundred and fifty joints a
Speaker 2: day for Snoop Dogg. That wasn't a really big takeaway
Speaker 2: from me. He has a professional joint roller. He what
Speaker 2: did he like run interviews? What's the recruitment policy that
Speaker 2: person's got like sick an entitlement and a package and
Speaker 2: what like a bonus STRUCTURER and stuff like that. I
Speaker 2: can't believe he actually employs someone whose job it is
Speaker 2: just to roll his joints.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get a repetitive stress in jest well from
Speaker 3: doing the thing movement one hundred and fifty times a day.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if this was like the sixties or seventies,
Speaker 2: and it was for Keith Richards and you heard about
Speaker 2: the story, that you understand that. But in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: I thought, what a stray job for somebody. So this morning,
Speaker 2: what is the strangest almost unusual job you've had? This
Speaker 2: is the Christian O'Connell show podcast. So Snoop Doggie Dog
Speaker 2: has someone he employs a full time joint roller. Okay,
Speaker 2: tell you what is a busy guy this joint ron?
Speaker 2: You think, well, that's an easy gig. No, you got
Speaker 2: to make a undred and fifty a day for Snoop Dogg?
Speaker 3: Would they kill a man?
Speaker 2: What's smoking that amount? Or making them? I know you're
Speaker 2: you're you're allergic to hard work. Which are you more
Speaker 2: worried about?
Speaker 3: Meaning the smoking? Day after day? Every would take its toll.
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell h much still about meeting Snoop Dogg?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is a horrendous story. Right years ago,
Speaker 2: I was went to see a median friend of mine
Speaker 2: do a gig and I went to see him backstage
Speaker 2: and he was like very very famous again and he'd
Speaker 2: been doing a lot of work out in America and
Speaker 2: backstage or just in the green room, happened to be
Speaker 2: loads of different people on tvings that and as part
Speaker 2: of an entourage, and there was a there was billowing
Speaker 2: smoke every when I don't mean like when people would
Speaker 2: smoke indoors. I mean Snoop Dogg Worth, Yes, all the dope.
Speaker 2: The center of it was Snoop Dogg. And I got
Speaker 2: introduced to him and he had like this. He had
Speaker 2: like it the law tracksuit and chain he was. He
Speaker 2: looked magnificent and anyway he had this. Honestly, it was
Speaker 2: like a It looked like a sub sandwich of a joint.
Speaker 2: I must have looked like a knock. I didn't they
Speaker 2: come to that big so and he's obviously a polite man.
Speaker 2: He's introduced to me and he goes, he sort of
Speaker 2: passed it to me, and I didn't know what to say.
Speaker 2: I went, I went like this, I had some early enough, No,
Speaker 2: I had one earlier. I hadn't I had some of
Speaker 2: that earlier. You know, you get a bit for up. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: I've had too much. Actually, to be honest, I had
Speaker 2: ten of those on the way here. So I've just
Speaker 2: got to give it another hour two yours actually quite.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: So what is the weirdest, most unusual job you ever had?
Speaker 2: Nine four one four one oh four three Chris, good morning,
Speaker 2: Good morning, So Chris, what is the most unusual job
Speaker 2: you've ever had.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm currently a snake etcher. I think that's pretty unusual.
Speaker 5: And previously I've been a professional adventurer.
Speaker 2: So what is what do you mean? Like Indiana Jones?
Speaker 2: What's a professional adventurer?
Speaker 5: So similar to how an athlete works in terms of
Speaker 5: the job, but rather than playing a sport, you just
Speaker 5: do very weird things.
Speaker 3: But who's pay to do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean where's the coin coming from? Who's the
Speaker 2: man at the top of the pyramids.
Speaker 5: You just come up with a bad idea. People jump
Speaker 5: on board and you get sponsorships, You become ambassadors for
Speaker 5: companies and things like that, and that's how you get
Speaker 5: paid for the job. So the last expedition was kayaking
Speaker 5: the wrong way up the Murray River. Fits on a
Speaker 5: half thousand gates.
Speaker 2: This is these feel like ideas. You come up with
Speaker 2: the pub we're going to rodeo around Australia and so who.
Speaker 3: Paid for that one? Chris, give us an example of
Speaker 3: the company.
Speaker 2: Why she'd got the wrong way?
Speaker 5: Just do the that's aggressive Geelong Kat's actually jumped on board.
Speaker 5: We had Paddy Palin based in Melbourne, big adventure company
Speaker 5: we had. We're in a System's Kaiaks who sent basically
Speaker 5: a clack and a paddle every year for a while
Speaker 5: while was ambassador. So companies like that basically genuinely fascinating.
Speaker 2: I feel like we should do a competition to come
Speaker 2: up with your next adventure.
Speaker 5: I'm up for that.
Speaker 3: What's the most impressive thing you've ever done, Chris, we'll
Speaker 3: go up the Merry River the wrong way starts from.
Speaker 5: It'd probably be that one going in the wrong way
Speaker 5: up that was That was pretty difficult.
Speaker 2: But it's not like the rapids. It's not like Niagara
Speaker 2: for pretty steady body of water, isn't it the Murray?
Speaker 5: It gets pretty fast in the top rangers.
Speaker 3: Have to take you word for it, all right, Chris,
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Keep the calls coming. Then, the weirdest job you ever had?
Speaker 1: You're listening to the question O Carl's Show podcast.
Speaker 2: Jack was the strangest job you ever had?
Speaker 3: When Hamish and Andy were still on Row, they wanted
Speaker 3: to film this bit where they were taxi drivers overnight,
Speaker 3: so they would pick up people and then film them
Speaker 3: and interview them where they're in the taxis. But they
Speaker 3: wouldn't let them have the taxi license unless they actually
Speaker 3: sat the test and did the full setup that you
Speaker 3: have to that every taxi driver has to go through.
Speaker 3: The only exception they gave them is they were allowed
Speaker 3: to do the tests at the radio station instead of
Speaker 3: doing it at the taxi school. So my first paid
Speaker 3: job on Hamershan Andy was to learn study the taxi
Speaker 3: tests and sit the taxi test for them.
Speaker 2: You know why for them?
Speaker 3: Sat the test for him. So I sat in a
Speaker 3: room at the radio station and tried to use different
Speaker 3: handwriting for Hamish's tests.
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 3: And answer questions like, if you were going from Corefield
Speaker 3: to the airport, what route would you do?
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Mick. Good morning, Mick. What's
Speaker 2: the intest job you ever had?
Speaker 6: Mick?
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, I hope you ready for this. I worked
Speaker 1: artificially in seminating turkeys.
Speaker 2: Well, someone's going to do it. You know, we won
Speaker 2: the turkeys, then they're going to be made somehow. Someone
Speaker 2: has to do that. And how tricky is that?
Speaker 1: Well, apparently because I don't want enough for commercial purposes.
Speaker 1: It's a tour of person operation. One of them comes up, Oh, darling,
Speaker 1: my name's Mick, grabbed a turkey, shoved its head between
Speaker 1: its legs, turns it upside down for the other person
Speaker 1: to get a syringe. And in seminade's.
Speaker 2: Quite a two man job of that, isn't it? How
Speaker 2: you make an eye contact when you're doing that.
Speaker 1: Now, a little bit of small talk and you know,
Speaker 1: small talk.
Speaker 2: How the tiger is going to go next season?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got to move. You've got to move quick, Mike,
Speaker 1: you don't get an ugly one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Mick, thank you very much.
Speaker 6: She cool?
Speaker 1: How are cis?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 2: Frank? Good morning?
Speaker 6: Oh good morning?
Speaker 2: Oh good whating Frank? So what's the strangest job you
Speaker 2: ever had? Frank?
Speaker 6: I had to extract gophers from graves in Queen's Park
Speaker 6: Cemetery in Calgary, Canada because they used to bring up
Speaker 6: the the treasures of the loved the loved ones. So
Speaker 6: it was it was it was basically like Caddy Shack
Speaker 6: with Bill Murray's character.
Speaker 2: If you can almost feel like this should have been
Speaker 2: the second Caddy Shak movie where Bill Murray is now
Speaker 2: in a in a graveyard and the cemetery getting rid
Speaker 2: of those damn gophers.
Speaker 3: So the gophers were like little grave diggers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they kept bringing up little piles of things like well,
Speaker 6: we'll just say metal objects and things and.
Speaker 2: What you mean. I mean, there's no dead people listening
Speaker 2: right now. They're not going to call in from the
Speaker 2: grave moaning, So.
Speaker 4: What do you mean like the wedding ring, earrings, things
Speaker 4: like that, and yeah, and we did it in a
Speaker 4: very human manner, but it was some Yeah, I had
Speaker 4: a bit of a reputation in that cemetery sort of
Speaker 4: because it was the year that that movie came.
Speaker 2: So you are so Canadian, and of course being Canadian,
Speaker 2: you've done it an incredibly humane way. You probably would
Speaker 2: have sat with all for thirty years until these died
Speaker 2: of natural causes in a room.
Speaker 3: Think of the families, Think of the loved ones of
Speaker 3: the decease.
Speaker 2: So are they are they somehow I'm actually get into
Speaker 2: the coffins or these are they work?
Speaker 6: I don't know how they do it, but they've got
Speaker 6: very sharp teeth. I don't know if you're seen a golfer,
Speaker 6: but I.
Speaker 2: Haven't had that pleasure yet my life. But still time,
Speaker 2: you know, still trying to take that off my bucket
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 6: Little beaver of minus the flat tail.
Speaker 2: So they will just burrow their weight into the coffin,
Speaker 2: have a little look around the corpse, and then take
Speaker 2: what they want.
Speaker 6: That's what it seemed to be.
Speaker 3: I think that's why the Queen's coffin was iron clad.
Speaker 2: Stop the gophers.
Speaker 6: I think that would be hedgehogs in English.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, Frank, thank you very much and cool.
