Speaker 1 (00:01):
There are all kinds of bad jobs and if you

what the number one dumb job in America is in
just a second, but first let's go over some of
the other ones.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Shall we could be side hustle? So yes, let's do
a chicken sexor what does that mean? What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Though it sounds like it's a very very, very very
bad job. Yes, but you get paid to look at
baby chicks and determine their gender.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh I don't have to do that, but I can
do that. That was a curveball.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, I still wouldn't want to pick up little baby
chicks and inspect their parts.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I don't know, And then you get paid for it.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Up it says it's a fast paced job and surprisingly difficult.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Surprising. You have to catch baby chickens. You can't tell.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
How do you tell on a baby chicken? I have
no I guess, not very specialized skills.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
These are experts.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Is there anybody growing up that's like man, one day
that one will be you can just become a chicken
sexor well.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Somebody's got to do it. So it's a very fair dream.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Going over the dumbest jobs in America. The new list
is going viral pet food taster.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Wait, there's humans that do that. I feel like you
do this, I really do. I have eaten dog food
before a few times. Why like you would do it?
What are like? What for curiosity? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:38):
And I've tried both the hard food and the wet food,
and I can tell you the wet food is a
little better, I think, but mostly I don't like crunchy
that much, so that's probably.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Why a texture issue. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Every time I see a fancy feast commercial and they
make it look like it's like fine dining for the cat,
I'm like.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, And why would they Why would they test the
dog food on humans?

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Well, don't we test a lot of our products on
animals first? So I guess it makes sense.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
True, I guess yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
I think a lot of dogs foods and stuff are
supposed to be human edible now because they're trying to
be more organic and all that stuff, So maybe they're like, hey,
you want to see if this one's edible or not.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
It's good for you and your job. Special who We're
going over list that's going viral. Of the dumbest jobs
you can get in America, professional cuddler is on the list.
I always hear about these people making tons of cash
from just being a professional cuddler.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
I mean, there is probably one of the biggest markets
that people capitalize on is other people's loneliness. Yeah, so
whether you're like giving a speech on how to find love,
you're a matchmaker cuddler, there's always going to be somebody
that needs you.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean, that's a job that I would not want
me either, because you have to cuddle with stringth I mean.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
You're probably not cuddling with something.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I mean, yeah, It's like I wouldn't want to give
people massages either, you know, although I shout out to Messuss,
I like getting massages, but I just don't want to
touch people.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, you know, yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I when I think of cuddling, I literally think of
cuddling my daughter and watching a movie. And I don't
think that's the kind of cuddling that's happening here.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
That's not the kind of cutling. I think about I
should start charging you.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I'll tell you what the number one dumbest job in
America is in a second. But here's the one that
I didn't know existed. A mourner for hire. What you
get paid to cry at funerals and make it look
like someone beloved. You had a huge crowd of people,
you bunch of friends. So you just sit there and
you just mourn for somebody that you don't even know.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
That the person look like they were loved when they were.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, I love this. I want you all to do
this for me. I'm likely to go out first in
this room. I think if you guys at least like
one hundred and fifty I wanted to feel like ridiculous
small funeral home. Please one hundred and fifty people in
there and then just let it rip and I want

(04:05):
them overacting everything.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Are you gonna leave us money to hire that? Yeah? Yeah, okay.
What I'm not gonna do is spend money out of
my pocket. Oh no, no, it'll be like my cask.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
It will be a piece of junk, but there will
be money for all those mourners.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
I would love that too, But I would love it
if there was nobody there except the professional mourner.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Just one professional miner. Yeah, the weirdest and.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
I will have lines written for them and it will
be a five hour funeral.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
They're going to earn.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Their money will be above looking down.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Put it out of the movie.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
What is the number one dumbest job in America? According
to this list? A sign spinner.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's the dumbest job ever.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I saw one of those this last weekend and Homie
was chilling. You do need to have some skill to
be able to spend those signs. Have you ever tried?
It's not easy.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Have you tried to do it?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
You know?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (04:57):
So I worked at a tanning slan for a while
and next or was a pet store and they had
one of those spinner signs that had to stand out
on the corner. And there's this one guy who would
always do it. He was super fancy. Flip it and
throw it in the air and whoos like pizza And
I was like, oh, I want to try it. Hit
me in the face. They landed on the ground.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
That is not easy. Did you at least point it
beside in the right direction? Why? I just held it
up and started doing like my Cheerman was like.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Whoa there is There is a big skill level whatever
the word is I'm trying to think of when.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
It comes to sign yeah, because some people.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Just stand there, you know, barely putting anything into it.
And then there are some people that you're like, man,
they love being a sign spinner. Every time I dropped
by one of those people, I'm like, if I had
a company, I would hire them in an instant.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
I was so much effort into their job. No, I
would not hire them.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I can't read what's on the signs going everywhere every
which way and shaped like an arrow, which that's true.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Not the spinner's fault.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
That is the company's fault for making a bad sign
is doing their job.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
I always drive by those guys and I'm like, man,
if I put as much effort into anything as they
do into flipping that sign, anything could happen for me.
Yet tired just looking at him and like, man, you
put way too much effort into your job.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
How did you do it without any expression? As well?
That is part of the skill.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
They're asserting massive amounts of energy and their face just
who yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
No mad having like they look like the house off
and have a good time I see a guy singing.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
So I don't know what we're looking at, but the
Spinners still sounds

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Like being a sign spinner is a pretty awesome job, actually,
