Speaker 1 (00:01):
Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
All Right, so we are talking about how this list
of most envied jobs is quite juicy.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I don't know if you guys saw it.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
No, I got it from Nate, who got it from
somewhere online.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
We'll get to that in a minute.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
But and I'm thinking, gosh, I don't 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.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
A lot of I don't know. Look, we do have
a dream job.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I was trying to text in the back of an
uber yesterday and I went, oh my god, this street
is so bumpy.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
It was New York City.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Of course, I was trying to send a thank you
to all the people at Atlantis that welcomed us with
open arms because of our job, because of our career.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
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 4 (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 3 (01:10):
And we eat all the time. Well there we do,
and drink. We're always merry, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
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. Cheese artisan. What a cheese artisan?

Speaker 1 (01:36):
What does a cheese artisan do?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well? Do you? I guess you make cheese? Oh, arteasonal cheese.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
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 do to make cheese. But it is,
it is a science. It's it's like making wine, but
you're making cheese.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
That could be interesting if you're into cheese.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Number nine a video game developer.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh that would be awesome.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (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.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's awesome and make a lot of money. I guess
why did you think it would be a fun game.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Kandi, 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 2 (02:35):
So it's not like 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 4 (02:44):
Yeah, you can morph from a human into a butterfly
and to a dog, whatever you want to do.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
It would be so cool.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
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 4 (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 schooling in their
back block A.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
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.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah right, and.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
You're on site all the time getting to experience really
cool things and go out into nature.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I would love it, okay.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Number seven, and I hope I don't get any back
flat on this on the Most Envy Jobs list, social
media influencer.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
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 sort of that in a way.

Speaker 4 (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 1 (04:17):
Yeah, this makes sense.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Number six a craft brewer. 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.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Right.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
The guy that owns this place his story as such.
He used to be a financial guide Wall Street, New
York City, and 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

(04:54):
like a pub, and he is happier than ever in
his entire life. He says, it's a lot of work,
and if if you love beer, I can see how
that could really be a plus.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right, yeah, totally, all.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Right, I'm gonna stop here. We have five, four, three,
two and one. No, no, 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 it off.
Don't know where that came from. Before I get to
the next five, let's take guesses on the most envy jobs.

(05:28):
Do you guys want to guess what's on the lists
or to talk about your most envy job that should
be on the list.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Is some sort of like animal rescuer, animal trainer on there.

Speaker 2 (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 4 (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 3 (05:57):
Old be amazing.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh there you go, there you go, froggy. What do
you think something that you would love to do.

Speaker 5 (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. 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 3 (06:24):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
So it's 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.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
It was all women.

Speaker 2 (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. Froug cool.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
That's cool. I love that, Danielle. A job that you
would love to do.

Speaker 1 (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. But
the other two are 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 3 (07:38):
She like what Froggy was talking about, but you know
your your spot, right.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
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 3 (07:58):
Love that.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
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.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
All right.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Yeah, scary food critic or wine critic, and I think
those are on the list.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
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.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
I think maybe you should start with food because you
don't really know a lot about wine. I don't. 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.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Uh gandhi, Yes, I have another one.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Yes, I think it'd be really fun to be one
of the people who gets to review new resorts that
pop up.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
So I guess, I guess sort of.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
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 2 (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.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Tell everyone what you do.

Speaker 6 (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 what they call.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Me, a puppy flight nanny. I love that.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
It's so cute.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
You get to work with pets, you get to travel.
It's like two of our favorite things other than you know,
food and booze.

Speaker 6 (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, and mine travel across the ponds in the
United Kingdom, So I do all over the world.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
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 3 (10:14):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (10:14):
I probably do about eight to ten.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
So it's a side job.

Speaker 6 (10:15):
I prayed too much on the weekend, so I'd say
about eight to ten, depending on what the volume is.

Speaker 1 (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 6 (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 3 (10:40):
There we go, good for you.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Let's here 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. Appreciate you
gotta get that pikoniese up to Seattle. I was thinking
I would love to design hotels. That's going to take

(11:01):
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 stay and there

(11:23):
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 I have
friends that do that, and it is a lot of

(11:43):
hard work. There's a lot of environmental science that goes
into that a lot, a lot of it, And there
you go.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
Number four a luxury real estate agent. So you only
handle the high end houses.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Keep in mind, but you're also dealing with high end client,
which could be I ask your husband, Daniel, Yes, the
difference between someone looking for a house looks like two
three hundred thousand dollars versus someone looking for a house
that's twenty or thirty million.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I mean they have shows, they have shows on TV.
The car yep, them on the ten most envied jobs list.
Number three adventure tour guide. That's another gandhi thing.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Look at that.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Adventure let's do it.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's like a bear grills job.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
Hell yeah, it'd be so fun. I know nothing about it, but.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
I would try.

Speaker 2 (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.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
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
most envy jobs?

Speaker 3 (12:53):
A chocolateeer. Oh hell yeah, yeah, come with me. Wo'd
be amazing. So makes chocolates and eat them and.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Share them and come up with new recipes and new designs.
And there was a show on last night this guy
was talking about Oh he's a pasta tier.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I guess you would call him that. He's in the
New York area.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Actually he develops the most incredible, beautiful pastas and he
sells them in a small batch.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Making a crap ton of money.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
Man.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Wow doing and number one the most envy jobs a
wildlife photographer.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (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 3 (13:45):
Or try to maul them.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
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. Yep, because you
just got to sit there and wait for the cougar
to walk by.

Speaker 4 (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 1 (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. I was like, well,
you have to wait for the birds, and my dad's like,
come out. I'm not gonna sit there waiting, but.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
He's done for me. You can't wait, you can't wait.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
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.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well, sure, on that list right there, that's really high pay,
because then that's the best of both wores.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes, Well, that's the point though.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
If you're working now just to pay the bills, and
sometimes that's what you have 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.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I guess that's really a good 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 3 (15:27):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Is that all he does?

Speaker 6 (15:28):
Though?

Speaker 3 (15:29):
It does. That's cool hence the name.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's a cool business.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Jet ski, that's right. It's like I'm cheese artisan Elvis.
Why not, I'm Disney planner Danielle. Yeah, you are, you
are
