Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
All Right, so we are talking about how this list
of most envied jobs is quite juicy. I don't know
if you guys saw it. No, I got it from Nate,
who got it from somewhere online. We'll get to that
in a minute. But and I'm thinking, gosh, I don't

(00:23):
know if I would rather do what we're doing now
or do number number well ten or number five or
number I mean, there's a lot of I don't know. Look,
we do have a dream job. I was trying to
text in the back of an uber yesterday and I went,
oh my god, this street is so bumpy. It was
New York City. Of course, I was trying to send

(00:44):
a thank you to all the people at Atlantis that
welcomed us with open arms because of our job, because
of our career. We got to go to Atlantis for
the weekend. Right, That amazing? What a dream job. I mean,
why would we want to do anything else. I mean,
we get spoiled. I think we get spoiled in this
job sometimes.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Oh my god, I think that all the time. We
have the best jobs ever. We get to work with
fun people, we get to meet fun people. We get
to do fun things like what else do you want?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
And we eat all the time. Well there we do
and drink and we're always merry. All right. Well this
is from a website called hostingadvice dot com, which I
don't know what they know about envied jobs, but they
did a survey and so let's see what their survey
came up with. The countdown is on most envied jobs.

(01:32):
Cheese artisan. What a cheese artisan?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
What does a cheese artisan do?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Well? Do you? I guess you make cheese? Oh, artisanal cheese.
I mean I'm not saying you're working at the craft
American cheese factory, No, but you go through the cheese process,
the fresh dairy and then the culturing and or whatever
it is they do doo to make cheese, but it is.

(01:58):
It is a science making wine, but you're making cheese.
That could be interesting if you're into cheese.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Number nine a video game developer.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh that awesome.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I have a friend that did that and they would
work for like three months straight doing this game and
then they'd be off for like two months. That's awesome
and make a lot of money. I guess why did
you think it would be a fun game, Kandi.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh, because you get to do so much creatively, Like
it's hard to do things with real people, but when
you have action figures or cartoons, you can step outside
the box of normality and do crazy things. And I
think that would be awesome. You be so creative.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
So it's not like you're you're directing a play on
a stage. The stage has it's very confined. It's on
that stage. In the world of video and digital you
can do anything.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, you can morph from a human into a butterfly
and to a dog, whatever you want to do.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It would be so cool. On the list of most
envied jobs, the countdown is on, and I thought of
Gandhi when I saw this one. Number eight environmental scientist.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I would love that be so cool. I mean I'm
friends with a couple of them, and the stuff that
they get to do is just amazing and it would
be great. They have a lot of a lot of
schooling in their.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Back block at definitely, and you're learning on the job
as well. Not only are you learning about the environment
and all of the beasts and the plants that make
up the environment and this and that, but also you're
obviously trying to figure out ways to protect the environment.
Yeah right, and.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're on site all the time, getting to experience really
cool things and go out into nature.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I would love it, okay. Number seven, and I hope
I don't get any back flat on this on the
Most Envy Jobs list, social media influencer. I knew that
was going to be on there. Scary would love that, dude.
If I wasn't doing this, I would try and be
a social media influencer. Well, the argument is we are

(03:50):
sort of that in a way.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was actually talking to a couple
of my friends who do marketing and they work with
a lot of influencers, and they were saying that there's
much more value in influencers when they have a day
job to back up what they're doing. So if you
actually came from a background that made you popular and
then because of that now you've got this influence, it's

(04:13):
different than if you just woke up one morning and
we're like, I want to do a travel blog.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, this makes.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Sense, okay. Number six a craft brewer. Oh, may I
address this out in Santa Fe There is a craft
brewing you know, it's one of the restaurants. You know,
a brew restaurant, and they're typical, right. The guy that
owns this place his story as such. He used to
be a financial guide Wall Street, New York City, and

(04:40):
then one day, and we've heard this story many times,
they go different directions just to get out of that
rat race. He ended up learning how to brew beer,
moved out to Santa Fe, opened his own brewery. Now
he surrounded it with a little restaurant like a pub,
and he is happier than ever in his entire life.
He says, it's a lot of work, and if if

(05:01):
you love beer, I can see how that could really
be a plus, right, yeah, totally. All right, I'm gonna
stop here. We have five, four, three, two and one.
I'm gonna I'm gonna pause a pause in the action.
It's halftime. Bring out the marching band. It's halftime. Okay,
thank you, scary turn that off. Don't know where that

(05:22):
came from. Before I get to the next five, let's
take guesses on the most envy jobs. Do you guys
want to guess what's on the list or to talk
about your most envy job that should be on the
list is.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Some sort of like animal rescuer, animal trainer on there.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I do see an animal related thing on there. Okay, okay,
forget about what's on the rest of the list. What
would you like to see on the list? In your opinion,
would be a job that you would envy.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Oh, I would love to be an animal rescuer, like
the people who save you know, a dolphin that's been
injured from a nut or something and then they rehabit
and they send it back out into the wild.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Would be amazing. Oh, there you go, there you go, Frogy.
What do you think something that you would love to do.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
I always think like people who are travel tour guides, Like,
let's say you go somewhere that you're not you don't
know anything about, but yet you go there and they
know everything about that area and they tell you about
it and they immerse you in their culture and all
the stories of how they live. I always think that
is such a cool job because that person does that
every day and you're just there one day.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Wow. So the travel industry or at least hyper focusing
on the region that you know very well. My friend Grace,
listen to what she did. I want to have her
home when she's in New York City. She worked for
a travel agency in Chicago, and I think I've talked
about her to you guys, And they did sort of
high end and medium end travel. It was all women.

(06:45):
Only women worked in this travel agency, and each woman
in there had a specific part of the planet Earth
that they specialized in. They had the Italy specialist, the
Indonesia specialist, they had you know what I'm saying. They're
all women, they're all good friends. She went off to
start her own agency. She's in Miami, in the Miami
region right now. Still all women, and they it's just

(07:07):
the same recipe. They all have their focus, just like
you're talking about frog.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
That's cool. I love that, Danielle. A job that you
would love to do.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
So I have three, I have four, all right, let's
do it. One is performing on Broadway. I think that's
probably the coolest job ever. One is performing at Disney,
because I think that is the coolest show ever.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
But the other two are.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
A Disney travel agent because this is a Disney expert
and they get to go to the parks all the
time and experience everything and then stand your trips and
all kinds of stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
She's like what Froggy was talking about, but you know
your your spot, right.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
And then an entertainment director, so like somebody who plans
the parties or the events at like a place or
an organization or you know, even on a cruise ship
like something like that. Somebody who's in charge of the
entertainment and just organizing the events and the fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Love that that could be a lot of fun work,
though you know that all these things we envy do
entail a lot of work for sure. All right, Yeah,
scary food critic or wine critic, and I think those
are on the list. One of those have to be.
But that would be my dream job outside of this.
You do not on the list, damn it, you would
do well. I think maybe you should start with food
because you don't really know a lot about wine. I don't.

(08:19):
I mean, we know if it's good or bad. That's
all we know, you know what I'm saying. Well, I know,
but this gives you an opportunity to go learn, you know.
Uh gandhi, yes.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I have another one. Yes, I think it'd be really
fun to be one of the people who gets to
review new resorts that pop up. So I guess I
guess sort of that would be like a travel blogger.
But when they say, like, oh, come check out this
ship before it cruises, come check out these I would
love to do that. That'd be awesome.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, and there are people that do that. If you
go to TikTok or YouTube, actually YouTube, there's a ton
of they call them travel channels where these influencers or
I guess you would call them that. Yeah, I've been
watching a lot of ones from Bali. A lot of
Europeans and Americans are traveling to Bali, not for a week,
but for like a three month thing amazing, and they
tell you all the good and the bad that's needed.

(09:06):
The travel industry loves people like that. Jared Online nineteen,
calling it in from West Palm, Hi, Jared, Hello lady, Well,
hello lady. So you say people envy your side job
a lot. I love what you do because I've actually
had people experience what you do. Tell everyone what you do.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
Yes, So it's in a little niche job. But people
need their pets or dogs or puppies or kids transported
from pointy eight to point b. So I will hop
on a flight early morning and pick up a puppy
and let's say Atlanta and go to Seattle, Washington and
drop off the puppy and turn around and come home.
So I'm a puppy flight nanny's withere they.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Call me a puppy flight nanny. I love that.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
That's so cute.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You get to work with pets, you get to travel.
It's like two of our favorite things. Yeah, other than
you know, food and booze.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
But absolutely and my wife say, a reputable French bulldog breeder.
So I delivered for one of her friends, and one
of her friends told her friends, and their friends told
their friends name traveled across the ponds of the United Kingdom, So.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I do all over the world. Wow, so Jared, I mean,
how many pets do you, uh nanny on flights? Let's
say per month? Is there an average number?

Speaker 5 (10:14):
I probably did about eight to ten, so it's a
side job. I prayed too much on the weekend, so
I'd say about eight to ten, depending on what the
volume is.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
The money money is the money good for that? And
it does it depend on the breed of dog? Like man,
did you get more for certain breeds?

Speaker 5 (10:29):
Nope, I'm pretty fair. I charge based on my time
and travel and of course airline flight tickets depending on
the cost. But I do it on the side as
a side job, and I make more money than I
do during my normal job.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
There we go, good for you. Let's hear for Jared.
Dream job, dream job, dream job. Jared is his new name.
All right, Jared, thank you very much. All right, go
catch that flight. Appciate you gotta get that Pikonies up
to Seattle. I was thinking I would love to design hotels.

(11:01):
That's going to take a lot of work to get
up to that, but I always love going to great hotels.
The experience you have when you go there, the back
of house is just as important as the front of
house that we all see. So I think they coming
up with that experience that you can create. It's like
creating a production, but it's in a hotel where people

(11:21):
stay and there you go. Okay, let me finish with
the envy jobs. Ready, Yeah, so far we gave you
cheese artists and video game developer, environmental scientists, social media influencer,
and craft brew or number five a vineyard manager and winemaker. Yes,
that's you that. I have friends that do that, and

(11:43):
it is a lot of hard work. There's a lot
of environmental science that goes into that a lot, a
lot of it. And there you go. Number four a
luxury real estate agent. So you only handle the high
end houses. Keep in mind, but you're also dealing with
high end which could be I ask your husband, Daniel, Yes,

(12:05):
the difference between someone looking for a house, it's like
two three hundred thousand dollars versus someone looking for a
house that's twenty or thirty million.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I mean they have shows, they have shows on TV.
Their cary them on the ten most envied jobs list.
Number three adventure tour guide. That's another gandhi thing. Look
at that adventure let's do it.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
That's like a bear grills job.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Hell yeah, it'd be so fun. I know nothing about it,
but I would try.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I mean, how many times have you been on Let's see,
Look when you go on ncl A cruise and you
go to Alaska. They have people that live in Alaska
that do nothing but take you on glacier tours. Amazing
and the US they used to work, you know, they
used to be accountants in Oshkosh, right right? All right?
Number two, are you ready for the top two and

(12:51):
most envy jobs? A chocolate tier? Oh, hell, yeah, yeah,
come with me. Yeah amazing. So you make chocolates and
eat them and share them and come up with new
recipes and new designs. And there was a show on

(13:11):
last night this guy was talking about, Oh he's a
pasta tier. I guess you would call him that. He's
in the New York area. Actually he develops the most incredible,
beautiful pastas and he sells them in a small batch,
making a crap ton of money. Man. Wow doing and
number one the most envy jobs a wildlife photographer. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yeah, they get in there. They do the coolest stuff.
And I love when I because I follow so many
of them. When the animals just kind of start to
like them or sit on their heads while they're taking photos,
I love it, yes.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Or try to maul them. You do see these incredible
and incredible productions on Animal Planet, this and that. Apparently
you need to have a lot of patience if you're
a wildlife photographer because you just got to sit there
and wait for the cougar to walk by.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
I interviewed a guy who does nature documentaries for Disney.
That was my first podcast interview, and he said they
will put three months into one episode, like that's how
long it takes to capture all this stuff. Sometimes even
longer than that.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
It's like the birding people. I remember my mom going
birding and my dad was with her, and these people
are just standing there staring at nothing. My dad's like,
I don't understand what's happening here. My mom's like, well,
you have to wait for the birds, and my dad's like,
come out. I'm not gonna sit there waiting.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
But he's done for me along. So you can't wait.
You can't wait, You can't check the flight schedule at
Newer care Port for birds. Well, there you go. You know,
Scary brings up a good point. Something tells Scary that
the most envy jobs on this list vary a lot
from the highest paid jobs on another list. Well, sure
it does.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
On that list right there, that's really high pay, because
then that's the best of both word.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yes, Well, that's the point though. If you're working now
just to pay the bills, and sometimes that's what you
have to to do because of the circumstances in which
you're living, right versus doing something you'd be willing to
give up a fat paycheck for. But it makes you
so happy and satisfied. That's that's where you got to like,
that's the intersection, right. I guess that's.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Really a jet ski company and like all of us
just run the jet skis for tourists and stuff and
be in the sun and the beautiful weather and just
driving around the jet ski.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Is that all he does?

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Though?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
It does. That's cool, hence the name. That's a cool
business jet ski.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
It's like I'm cheese artisan Elvis. Why not?

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Alright, I'm a Disney planner, Danielle.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah you are.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
You are
