SPEAKER_01 0:00

We don't know.

SPEAKER_00 0:00

All right. Welcome back, everybody. My name is Ashley. It's Christy. And this is Two Brains, One Bot. And we're a podcast.

SPEAKER_01 0:08

We are still a podcast.

SPEAKER_00 0:10

We're still a podcast.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

Despite our our best efforts. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:15

I don't know. We're still very underpaid podcasts.

SPEAKER_01 0:21

And by underpaid, you mean not paid.

SPEAKER_00 0:24

Not paid. Yeah. Doing this, doing this for the love of the game. Yeah. Um doing this for the listeners. Kate, do you have any updates? Any corrections?

SPEAKER_01 0:33

Any uh no, but the so we're recording this the day that the what was that episode called? The Beasts.

SPEAKER_00 0:42

The Beasts. Um, uh the Yeti, Bigfoot, Nessie, oh my.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

We are recording that day that that came out, and my husband texted and said, You guys should look up sunbears because sunbears look like humans in a bear suit, and it's hilarious. I don't believe that sunbears are real. We'll have to post the picture, but that one of a like the bear from behind with its like saggy butt. I'm like, yeah, that's a human.

SPEAKER_00 1:06

That's like a that's like a human in a bear costume that showed itself.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

Yeah. Or just it just, you know, like this the stereotypical like male with no butt, but like a big belly.

unknown 1:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:18

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

Um okay, I don't have any updates or anything else. I don't have anything else besides Stunbear. I did want to formally apologize for including your um off camera singing.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

I'll just be more careful next time. I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't I am not mad at the in the moment because I haven't listened to it yet, but I could be in the future. Yeah. This could be our last recordings. Maybe.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

I doubt it. But maybe. You'll get me again. You'll get me on one of them.

unknown 1:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:47

Bills. What song was it? You can't always get away. That's a banger. Yeah, that's a good one. Okay. Okay. So, you know how we're always joking that like literally doing anything in this economy is trash? Yeah. Like in Trump's economy. No, thank you. No. No, trash. Um, I was thinking about it the other day because I was getting real down about life, and I was like, man, I need a side hustle.

SPEAKER_01 2:13

Okay. And is this not your side hustle? This is my side hustle, but it doesn't this is this pays like shit.

SPEAKER_00 2:20

Yeah, it's it's costing me money to be here. Yeah. Uh podcasting is not free. No, podcasting is not free.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

Um, but we're as close to free as possible, though. I always think about a side hustle, and then I'm always like, oh, but then I'll have to do it. That's true. That's the worst part of it.

SPEAKER_00 2:39

Well, I've got some ideas for you today. So today we're gonna dive into the most unhinged side hustles that people are actually doing for money.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

Um, not really Does it start with own and end with my kids listen? Okay, go ahead. Cut that part.

SPEAKER_00 3:00

Okay, so we're not necessarily gonna be covering these to judge, but like also we're gonna be judging for sure. Um polite judging. But like maybe like we're just considering side hustles for ourselves, unless somebody wants us to wants to pay us to do podcasting. And you know, we're maybe gonna consider some of these for ourselves.

SPEAKER_01 3:20

Ooh, I can't wait.

SPEAKER_00 3:21

Because it's hard out here for a pimp.

SPEAKER_01 3:22

Help. It's arguably the hardest time it's ever been out here for a pimp is the line. Yeah. Um, but yeah, help us pick our new side hustle.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Yes. And also, or in addition to maybe just like listen so we can be paid to do this. Because we're having a great time. Yeah, it's a good time. Okay, but because of who I am, we're gonna do this in like a game style because it makes it a little less sad. Um, so this is how it's gonna go. I'm gonna read the side hustle, and your task is to guess how much it pays, and then together we're gonna rate um, yes, I would do it tomorrow, maybe depends on how broke I am, and no stretch of gel. Okay.

unknown 4:03

Ooh.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

And we're gonna start off like with some reasonable ones, and then we're gonna get unhinged with it, mainly so that I know that your kids have fallen asleep before the sketchy ones appear. That's a great idea. And today we're going to learn at what price do my morals disappear? Oh, so here's the first couple that are pretty low chaos, surprisingly reasonable, and might actually be a valid thing to people. So, number one, renting out your pool. So you can apparently rent out your pool or your backyard for parties, events, swimming lessons, weddings, etc.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Do I have to have a pool to rent out my backyard? Because I have a large backyard.

SPEAKER_00 4:43

Not necessarily. No. Okay. I'll look into it. So tell me how much you think you could make from doing this.

SPEAKER_01 4:50

Okay, so let's just assume I have a pool. Okay. Where am I located? Where are you here? Okay, so this is in you in Utah? Yeah. Okay. I don't know, man. Everything is yeah, okay. I don't know. I don't know, yeah. Okay. I am located here. I didn't look at this. I'm gonna say, like, I have a pool. My sister has a beautiful pool. Okay. I'm gonna assume I'm at my sister's house. Okay. I bet she could rent her backyard out for is it like per hour? Like, what are you looking for? Per hour or per event?

SPEAKER_00 5:18

Um this is this one particularly is per month. Um, some of them later are per hour.

SPEAKER_02 5:26

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 5:27

So like, so let's say you had one event in the month. How much or like you had a couple events through the month? Oh like so say you rent out every weekend, you rent out your okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

If I'm renting out my backyard every weekend, I bet I am making eight thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Oh, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

Maybe was I dead on?

SPEAKER_00 5:49

Yeah, it says, no, you weren't dead on at all.

SPEAKER_01 5:53

But I appreciate that. I was assuming I was assuming a thousand dollars per Friday per Saturday.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

Yeah, so maybe it says between one and three thousand a month. Oh, so oh but maybe you maybe that you don't like do it every weekend. Maybe you don't do it every weekend. Yeah, and I bet for like different events like weddings, it's probably more because it's gonna be like all day. Yeah, yeah. Set up and everything. So the real question is would you be okay with strangers in your backyard? Hell yeah, brother. For a thousand dollars? Yeah, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 6:24

I have been trying to get a pool at my casa for a long time. So maybe this will turn my spouse.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

Maybe. What is the weirdest scenario that you would worry about by renting out your pool?

SPEAKER_01 6:36

So if I had a pool, I would definitely have to have like a pool house because I don't want strangers in my home. So you would have to have like a pool house type situation that probably has a kitchen too, like a bathroom and a kitchen, maybe two bathrooms. So another house? Uh a casita. A little mother-in-law apartment, a little casita on property. Um you're welcome. I'm gonna drink some of this wine. But what I'd be most worried about. I don't know. Just weird stuff happening in the pool. Yeah, yeah. I would probably be worried about that too. Or like just people like destroying your pool.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

Yeah, somebody pooping in the pool. That's good wine.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

That's thank you. Uh Code Brown. Code Brown in the pool.

SPEAKER_00 7:23

Code Brown in the pool. It's not a baby Ruth. Isn't that Caddyshack?

SPEAKER_01 7:30

I have no idea what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 7:31

Oh, there's a I think it's Caddyshack. It's a movie. Oh, I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

I mean you know that it's a movie, but I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_00 7:36

Somebody you have never seen Caddyshack?

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Yeah, because I am not 80 years old.

SPEAKER_00 7:45

It's a good one! I I don't see really niche movies. It's about golf, yeah. Okay, but there's a part in the in the movie, I'm pretty sure it's Caddyshack, where they get a baby roof and they put it in the pool and all these people are like getting out of the pool. Gross. Because I think it's uh Code Brown. Okay, anyway. Code Brown. Woof, we this is might take us a while. Okay, number two, standing in line for people. Ooh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

I wouldn't want to do that. That's uh why did you think do we need to vote on your last one of what if we would do it? Because yes. Oh, I already said yes, huh? Yeah. Okay, cut that part. Sorry. Start over.

SPEAKER_00 8:25

Never, I'm never cutting it up. It's so funny. Whatever. It's part of the charm.

SPEAKER_01 8:29

You literally don't knowing how to do any of this. It's part of the charm. Could you give me like a like a cheat sheet, like a key card that I can just be like, this is what we're doing today?

SPEAKER_00 8:40

We're gonna have to get you an aide, probably, that just stands next to you and says, nope. Didn't How much does that pay? It's one of your kids. They're busy.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

They're busy, they have lives. I don't even think a single one of them. Oh, maybe one is home right now.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

Okay, standing in line for people. So typically this is done in larger cities and often through services like Task Rabbit, oh yeah, and that kind of stuff. But line sitters are often hired for product launches, sneaker drops, um, sometimes Broadway tickets or other other ticket things, um, or even sometimes government document appointments.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

Okay, I'm gonna guess because this is just such a like a niche thing. Not everybody needs it, uh, not everybody can definitely afford it. I'm gonna assume $250 an hour. $250 an hour? I don't know. Oh, that's probably a bit high. $100 an hour.

SPEAKER_00 9:39

So and again, I got this from like Google and between Google and chat, bestie. So it's saying between $20 and $50 an hour, sometimes more depending on the length of time that you're sitting or standing or whatever. I just think my time is worth more money.

SPEAKER_01 9:53

Yeah, probably. And if you have to like sit out in the weather and with other people, if it's overnight, that's gonna be that's gonna be a differential.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

That's true. We're gonna have to have a night differential. There's gonna be overtime pay.

SPEAKER_01 10:05

A weekend differential.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

Do I get benefits? I don't know. Should be paying for health insurance.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

I don't know. So would you do it? Hey, I'm I'm sitting out here for three hours for you to get these new sneakers. Is that does this come with health insurance? Also, in what I don't know. In what world?

SPEAKER_00 10:21

Not in this economy, not in Trump's economy, no way.

SPEAKER_01 10:24

No, uh, would I do it? Not for, did you say $20 to $50 an hour? Yeah. No. Thank you, next.

SPEAKER_00 10:33

Thank you, next.

SPEAKER_01 10:33

Or no, what's the trash one? Straight to the trash.

SPEAKER_00 10:36

Straight to the trash. Oh, yeah, that's right. We were gonna we were gonna rate them. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

Oh, I didn't forget.

SPEAKER_00 10:40

Maybe no. So yes, yeah. Okay. No, that was. So straight to trash.

SPEAKER_01 10:44

Straight to trash.

SPEAKER_00 10:45

Okay. Um, voice acting from home, anywhere from commercial ads, e-learning modules, or even sometimes audiobooks. Um that's a great hustle. That is a great hustle. Yeah. I'm actually sort of considering it now that we have podcasting equipment. I know, right? Um how much would I do?

SPEAKER_01 11:05

Or oh, I'm guessing how much.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

Yeah, how much is it? How much do you would you typically make?

SPEAKER_01 11:10

That one, that last one just humbled me quite a bit. Oh. $45 an hour? Um, this is per month. Per month. Oh, I don't know. Okay. Uh am I doing it full-time?

SPEAKER_00 11:24

Yeah. Or no, it's a cycle. Yeah, part-time.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Part-time $2,000 a month.

unknown 11:30

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 11:31

Yeah, it says it could be up to $5,000 a month, part-time, but some companies will do it per word, like a like a dollar per word or a couple cents per word, depending on what they're having you add.

SPEAKER_01 11:42

We can say so many words per minute.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

We know we've been listening to this podcast. Just kidding.

SPEAKER_01 11:50

Oftentimes in my day-to-day life, I have to be like, hey, you talk so fast you need to slow down. And I will consciously like slow down. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

You know, some people like that.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

Like a lot of the the younger I read the room and I say, Oh, this person doesn't want me talking at Mach 5.

unknown 12:09

Moch five.

SPEAKER_01 12:10

Got it. Okay. Is that a speed? Yeah, probably. Thanks. I would do that, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Okay, so can you show me one of your vo voice acting um like a like an audition? Audition right now. Try a ridiculous voice live.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

Ridiculous voice live.

SPEAKER_00 12:29

Can you do like a really putting me on the spot? I can't do accents.

SPEAKER_01 12:31

Me either.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

Noh. That's the Australian one I got. Narr. Nar Dog. Uh would you have like a like a specific niche? Like would you do like audiobooks or would you do like ads?

SPEAKER_01 12:47

Like I probably wouldn't do audiobooks because those people that do audiobooks um sometimes do like different voices for each character, and that would be a lot to keep straight. Yeah. Like the Harry Potter audiobooks are so good. That oh that um what do we call that person? The audio, the voice actor. The voice actor. He has a different voice for every single person. You don't need him to be like Ron said or Harry said or Hermione because like you get to the point where you're like, I know, I know which voice that is.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

Interesting. So does he stop saying that? Or no? No, because you read kids just. I think you just read the book. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 13:25

Um yeah, I don't know. I think I could do little commercials like if you've been if you've been injured by a a bad four-way stop, call ANC Law firm. ANC Law firm. Yeah. 1-800, mind your own business.

SPEAKER_00 13:44

I don't know. 1-800, be predictable. 1-800, get off the road. I like it. Um, so yeah, so if you are a sponsor of any sort, hit us up for audio recording.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Like we have nice voices. I've heard people say that like our voices are complimentary.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

Oh, that's very kind of them. So maybe we could do ads. Yeah. I like it. Okay. I'm gonna manifest it. What would you do? Since you just put me on the spot, what would you do? I mean, I don't know, all of it.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 14:18

I think all of it all at once. Yeah. I think reading audiobooks is like a bigger commitment, but I think you'd get a bigger return for it. So like it it would just be dependent on the time you have. Okay. But yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 14:37

I'm gonna look into it. Yeah, do it. Dollar a word? I feel like that's excessive. You probably have to have like I would make like a million dollars an hour.

SPEAKER_00 14:45

Like, listen, um, Keith Morrison, I would pay that guy. Or or Ludacris. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like those guys are worth at least a dollar a word. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

Let's sell cameos for five dollars. Cameos? Yeah. So people could pay us five dollars for a cameo, like a voice cameo, and then we will call your loved one and tell them happy birthday or yeah, or like any anything you want us to say to them.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

With within reason.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Yeah. Or not. Or depending on how much you pay me. Yeah. Um, hit us up for that. That'd be cool. I don't yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, cool. Um, and then the last one in the reasonable section is a mobile noter notary.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

So you just like verify people's signatures and I actually really thought about that because I see all these videos of people being like, I make one billion dollars doing mobile notary.

SPEAKER_00 15:41

Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Which makes me think that it's probably not that profitable.

SPEAKER_00 15:46

Yeah, guess how much it is?

SPEAKER_01 15:47

I bet you I bet you you have to know somebody that like refers you to their services. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe I'll look into that.

SPEAKER_00 15:55

Um, how much do I think? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:57

I bet it's a hundred bucks an hour.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

What would that be a month? It's per month on this one. Sorry, I should have been more consistent.

SPEAKER_01 16:05

Oh, per month? And I'm doing this as a side hustle. $8,000.

SPEAKER_00 16:10

It says up to $15,000 plus.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

What am I even doing here? Seriously. I will be doing that.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

Uh okay. Let me know.

SPEAKER_01 16:19

Or not. Have you ever had like a mobile notary come to your house? No. I have like a couple times, uh, maybe like two times, and it's always been like signing mortgage paperwork or whatever. Oh, okay. Um, but it does feel a little sketch because you're just showing up and going into somebody's house.

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

So there's some danger. So maybe that's yeah, 15, 15k.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

I'd say more probably for me if I'm gonna be going to someone's house. If I had to travel and be somewhere on time, no. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

I don't know if they're saying I don't think it's you saying no to the job. I think it's the job saying no to you.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

Well, fine. Let's go into the unhinged but still tempting section. Professional bridesmaid or groomsman. People often hire professional bridesmaids with their when their own friends are like far away or they just don't have like a close circle of friends, and or they need someone to handle high stress situations without the drama.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

I think this happens five times a year across the world.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

You think? Yes, that's stupid.

SPEAKER_01 17:25

Really? Do you have do you have news for me?

SPEAKER_00 17:28

Yeah. There are popular services such as those from Bridesmaids for Hire, and they range from virtual support to in-person attendance at your wedding. So per wedding, how much do you think you could make?

SPEAKER_01 17:42

Again, this is gonna be super niche. This is not for the common folk. This is this is yeah, I don't know, like $10,000 for the wedding.

SPEAKER_00 17:50

So it says between one and $2.5,000 per wedding. Shut up. Yeah. But it could be higher depending on the event and like what you're asked to do. So like some people offer base, like this is actually a very popular thing that people do, mainly in like bigger cities. But they offer like a base package or like different packages.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

So it's someone that's been super shitty their whole life, and now they're getting married to an equally shitty person, and they're like, Brad, nobody likes us. What are we gonna do? And he's like, Clarissa. Clarissa, we will hire people to be our friends.

SPEAKER_00 18:34

It's giving Californians.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

And then he said, SNL. And then Clarissa said, Thank goodness I have my mobile notary job to pay for this.

SPEAKER_00 18:43

Yeah. And then Brad was like, Hell yeah, brother.

SPEAKER_01 18:49

And then they're like, nah nah, girl. We have that, we have that uh inheritance money. Yeah. That's why nobody likes us. Daddy will pay for it. Generational wealth money. Yeah. That's wild that it is actually more than five times in a year that this occurs.

SPEAKER_00 19:08

Yeah, apparently it happens quite often. And there's been movies made about it, which I always thought were just like silly things, but yeah. Name one. Wow. This is embarrassing. There's there's been this is embarrassing for you. It's okay, Brad. I don't want to be Brad. Well, you made me Clarissa. I don't know.

unknown 19:32

Touche.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

So, like if you did this, let's just say you did this, would you accidentally start drama with the family?

SPEAKER_01 19:41

Because I probably is it gonna like is there something in my contract that says I can't? Because I don't want to, I don't want to mess up this money.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

Maybe, but also how fun would that be? Yeah. I l I love a wedding, like a good fun wedding that has like food and alcohol and dancing. Sure. Sign me up. You can pay me to go to a wedding. That's like my favorite thing. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Ones that happen in gymnasiums, not so much, but like a fun wedding. Yeah. Maybe a destination wedding. A destination wedding, yeah. That would be lots more dollars. Are you gonna pay for my airfare?

SPEAKER_01 20:15

Maybe I'm just not dreaming big enough.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

Yeah, dream bigger. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 20:19

Start with your actually pretty fun.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

So also, if you want to hire me for this, I'd be great. So, but then how far are you taking the friendship afterwards? Like is it is it contract? No, it's over. I doubt that, knowing who you are as a person. You would be best friends.

SPEAKER_01 20:36

I'd be their emotional support person. But I'd probably be like in the middle of that Brad and Clarissa relationship.

SPEAKER_00 20:43

And I am you're their marriage therapist, you're their you know, when when she's happy. They're gonna have to put me on a retainer.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

Yeah, they're gonna have to put me on a retainer.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

You're the family stand-in.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

Yeah. Oh man. Better pay good.

SPEAKER_00 20:59

All right. So drum roll, please. We're up to the next one, which is um one that people always joke about selling feet picks. Yes, it's real. Yes, it is lucrative.

SPEAKER_01 21:10

There is there is some there is a a niche for everybody. There's any any weird thing you want to do, there's an audience for it. Yeah. There is how much are people making per month doing this?

SPEAKER_00 21:25

And I'm gonna tell you it's a it's a wild number. Big range. $850,000.

SPEAKER_01 21:31

No, like a range. Give me a range. Oh, I'm gonna say low end. You're just getting you're just new to it, maybe like $200,000. No, sorry. Let's start over.

SPEAKER_00 21:42

Okay. Give me a r- I'm gonna give you a range.

SPEAKER_01 21:44

Like $15,000 a month to your your puppy dogs are well sought after. I'm gonna go eight hundred and fifty thousand. Jesus was that too big?

SPEAKER_00 21:56

A hundred dollars to one K a month, depending on. On how consistent you are and what platforms you're on, and if you're like a verified person. So you said the high end is a thousand a month. That's what it says.

SPEAKER_01 22:08

That's not worth it.

SPEAKER_00 22:09

Yeah, I know. But you can do this anonymously. So there's some sites that allow you to be like anonymous and do this. You don't have to show your face, you don't have to do anything weird. Then weirder than getting your feet pictures taken. But like it it also depends on the photo. Like if you have like if you're just taking a picture of your feet just how they are, versus like someone like you holding a pedicure.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

You holding toes with your friend. Yeah. Those ones, those ones are pricey. Should we do it? You have socks on.

SPEAKER_00 22:45

I I know, because I've made it a mission not to show my feet on this podcast because you can't get that for free. And I got slippies on. Yeah. That you're gonna have to pay for that.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

Yeah. Also, let Ashley know.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

Yeah, let me know. So have you considered it? Of course I have. Of course we've all considered it. And what is your I do it for X amount of money?

SPEAKER_01 23:07

Um I would do it for $2,000 a month.

SPEAKER_00 23:11

No, probably $3,000 a month. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 23:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

All right. I like it. Okay, moving on. Renting chickens.

SPEAKER_01 23:20

Hold on. I have nice feet, so like I think I would be um I think I'd be on the the upper end of things. See, that's the thing is my husband says my feet are nice. Okay. My mom thinks I'm cool.

SPEAKER_00 23:36

They they say I'm pretty. The friends that I've hired tell me I'm really nice. Brad and Clarissa said they love my feet. I love that those are just the names. Like we don't even have I don't think I know anybody in my life named Clarissa.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

No, I don't know a single person. Or Brad.

SPEAKER_00 23:56

Or Brad, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Actually, I do know Brad.

SPEAKER_00 23:58

Those are like 80 friends, like villain names. Because there are villains. That's why nobody likes them. All right. Okay, go. Um, renting chickens. So this is a try before you buy type of situation. People want to see if having chickens is their jam.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

So at the end of the season, they want to see if it's all it's cracked up to be.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

Get out.

SPEAKER_01 24:21

Oh, oh, I have a funny joke for you. Sorry. No, no, never mind. No, we're not doing jokes. Clearly. Sidam game. You can't you can't diss my joke and then be like, but I have a joke for you.

SPEAKER_00 24:33

Okay, go. Why was six afraid of seven? Because at eight, nine. Six, seven. But is my part right? Oh. Six. Seven. Six, seven. Six, seven. I don't get it. Six? Seven. Six, seven. I still don't get it. You know, like six, seven? I know six, seven. Sick? Like illness?

SPEAKER_01 25:03

Oh, sick.

SPEAKER_00 25:04

Six, seven.

SPEAKER_01 25:05

And that's why six doesn't like seven because six is seven is sick. That was such a good one. I loved it.

SPEAKER_00 25:16

This wine is really working. I like it. Christy made this wine. I did. BT Doves. She's that twine coach. She's getting me litty titty on a Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01 25:28

You've had three sips. Get it together.

SPEAKER_00 25:32

Wow. Okay. Mama. Yeah, so it's not. It's cracked up to be. Um, people generally do a try before you buy situation. Um, and at the end of the season, people either return everything or choose to adopt the hens and keep them permanently. How much do you think people will pay you? So you're the one renting your chickens outside. Okay. So you uh have these chickens that you're $700 a month. Oh. So this says $250 to $400 per season. Oh, for the whole season. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. Yeah. For the full season. All I want is an emotional support chicken. I don't want to have to do the work.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

We had chickens a long time ago when we moved into our current residence. We got some chickens because I was like, I want fresh eggs. This is great. Let's do it. No. Back in the day when eggs were super cheap, and so we were buying all this feed, and the feed that we were buying was like way more expensive than the few eggs that it would produce. And also around that time, like we were kind of letting them free range in our yard because we had we have like a nice big yard. Um, but then we got hawks that kind of took up residence in our yard because we had the chickens, so then we had to keep the chickens in the coop.

SPEAKER_02 26:56

Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 26:56

And like they had the like a small fenced-off area. It was like four by four or something. Um, so they weren't living their best lives, and it was so dirty. Chickens just do nothing but eat and poop. Eat and poop. Um, it was just gross. It attracted rats.

SPEAKER_00 27:14

Oh, okay, not worth it. No things.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

Just no. It wasn't the the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Is that that's a term, right? Yes, it is. You've heard that. I have the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Don't keep saying it. It doesn't make it better. I'm gonna Google it. I know it is. It isn't worth the squeeze.

SPEAKER_00 27:43

That's so funny. Gross squeeze. Please tell me that it was like honey no something. People say that. People say that. People say that. Yeah. Sure, Jen. Okay. Can we move on? Or do you still want to I please tell me you're not Googling that from a work account?

SPEAKER_01 28:08

It's a very common thing.

SPEAKER_00 28:09

Hey, how was your day? Uh the juice wasn't worth the squeeze.

SPEAKER_01 28:16

I don't think your day was worth the squeeze.

SPEAKER_00 28:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 28:24

Next. Okay, so now we're getting into fully unhinged territory. Okay. You're ready. Professional cuddler. So these are people who I don't like it. Cuddle people professionally, and sessions can last from 60 minutes to several hours. Activities include hugging, hand holding, spooning, or just sitting together in comfortable silence. It is fully consensual, and both partners set firm boundaries beforehand, and the idea is that there's no like you both partners are clothed.

SPEAKER_01 28:56

Yeah, there's rules.

SPEAKER_00 28:58

Yeah, there's rules. Um, what's my price range per hour for this one? $35 per hour. Oh, good one. So um it says between $40 and $80 per hour. Oh. However, some highly successful practitioners in major cities like New York report making up to $100,000 a year, often working only a few hours a day.

SPEAKER_01 29:22

Which Because I bet you the clients on those ones are freaking.

SPEAKER_00 29:28

And I it makes me kind of sad because it feels a little bit predatory for those people who don't have like that physical touch in their life, and then other people are sort of like oh, predatory to the person that wants to be cuddled. Yeah. Isn't that kind of sad to you?

SPEAKER_01 29:48

I don't know. Ethically, it feels a little yucky. Yucky. Oh, it's super yucky, but um why doesn't anyone never mind. Never mind.

SPEAKER_00 29:57

I don't know. You know what I mean though? Like this person's clearly lonely or doesn't have someone in their life that they could get this from for free, so they're paying somebody. That makes me so sad.

SPEAKER_01 30:09

I'm more sad for the person doing it.

SPEAKER_00 30:11

Oh, it feels predatory to me.

SPEAKER_01 30:13

Oh, I look at it the opposite way that it's predatory towards this person that just needs money in their life. Oh, yeah. Come snuggle me. Yeah. Because because I've done something in my life that nobody wants to be around me.

SPEAKER_00 30:24

Yeah. And honestly, at the end of the day, this is the world we've created, right? Not to get like super serious and dark, but like this capitalistic hellscape of needing money, like has driven us to do these things too. Like cuddling people when yeah. Straight to trash. Okay, I agree, straight to trash. It feels yucky all around for both parties. But you know what? We don't yuck others' yums, so like do it, lady. Do do what makes you feel good.

SPEAKER_01 30:56

So you can say yuck somebody else's yum, but I can't say the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Yes, that doesn't make any sense. It's more visual.

SPEAKER_00 31:06

Gross. Yuck my yum. You're making me sad. Okay. Okay, and on that note, um yuck my yum. Professional mourner.

SPEAKER_01 31:18

That goes hand in hand with like hiring your bridesmaids.

SPEAKER_00 31:22

Yeah, so apparently, according to Google, this has been a profession for thousands of years, is what it said. I know. And they says they're known as moirologists. M-O-I-R-O. I believe you. L-O-G-I-S-T-S. I don't know how you'd say that. Moire Moirologists. A professional mourner's role can vary from being a silent supporter who blends in with the crowd to a dramatic whaler who performs loud like.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

Listen, I need you to come to this event and you need to be a loud mourner. What'd you call a whaler? I mean a whaler.

SPEAKER_00 32:00

So in some cases, they are hired to act as long-lost friends or distant relatives to ensure a funeral isn't poorly attended.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

Okay, also, what have you done in your life that nobody wants to come? A lot of these jobs are a result of people's poor behavior.

SPEAKER_00 32:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:17

Okay. Um, I don't know, 60 bucks an hour.

SPEAKER_00 32:22

So it can be between 50 to 200 bucks per funeral, sometimes up to $500, depending on the circumstances for which you were hired.

SPEAKER_01 32:30

So if you were hired to be like if you want me, if you want tears and me to fall to my knees, that's gonna be $200. Yeah. Uh a light brushing of a tissue, that's more in the $50 range.

SPEAKER_00 32:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:44

They have a they have a whole little cue card and it's like, how far do you want to go?

SPEAKER_00 32:47

Yeah, for sure. If you want me to just stand in the back. Also, I don't think I could do this because funerals make me feel yucky. I don't like it.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

Like I don't know. Okay. Okay, I would be really good at it because I, when others cry, I cry. So if I see other people crying, oh, I can I can whip out those tears. And not even whip them out. They just they just flow and they're they're very genuine. Good.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

Because I'm sad for somebody that's sad. You're a good person. Thank you. I don't think I could do it.

SPEAKER_01 33:17

So when you're at a funeral and others are crying, you don't feel the urge to cry.

SPEAKER_00 33:22

No, I think I do, but usually if I go to if I can get myself to go to a funeral, it's because it's somebody that I really know and really love or care about. So I'm already gonna be crying. Okay. But funerals in general make I I don't like them. Like I just like body and a like looking at I don't know how to say it other than like it is a very bizarre thing. Like I like more of like the celebration of life that people do.

SPEAKER_01 33:52

Yeah. But it is not for the person that died. It is for the family.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

It is, and I I just get very uncomfortable with the idea. Like, I've been to funerals, I've been to a lot of funerals in my life, and sometimes the people will kiss the person, like that kind of stuff. I understand it. I people grieve in very interesting ways, but I can I can't do it. And like an open casket thing, I don't get it. I don't it just I don't get it.

SPEAKER_01 34:25

I feel like you're like tempting fate right now.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

And and also another thing on that the idea of someone I loved being put in a box six feet under the ground makes me like physically ill. Okay. Cause I'm very claustrophobic. Alright, we have discovered something about Ashley today. I don't like that idea. Like yeah. Okay. Noted. Yeah. So burn me.

SPEAKER_01 34:51

If you if just I mean you're gonna be burned like a witch, but either way, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:56

Yeah, I am a witch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:57

That's what I'm saying. You're gonna be burned.

SPEAKER_00 35:01

Anyways, okay. Um I then you'll fly off on your broom. Yeah, don't hire me to be your professional mourner because I can't do it.

SPEAKER_01 35:07

Okay, that's weird.

SPEAKER_00 35:09

Yeah, it is weird. This is the next one, it's weirder, surprisingly. I believe it. Are you ready to gag? Oh. Pet food taste tester. Oh, of course that's a thing. So while it sounds unappealing, it is a critical quality control step for major pet food companies. Professional tasters, get this. Professional tasters don't just sit down to a bowl of kibble. They use a highly methodical process similar to wine tasting. Smell first, palate testing, spit don't swallow, nutritional analysis. Uh uh-uh. No. This is giving, this is part of the reason why I had started It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, like long ago, and then I had to stop because they were eating cat food. Charlie in a couple of the episodes. It grosses me out so much.

SPEAKER_01 36:10

Why aren't they testing it on animals to see if like nine out of ten dogs like it? They can't give like feedback.

SPEAKER_00 36:20

Did they eat it? But like texture, I don't know, but the I don't know, man. Google it. It says it's a thing.

SPEAKER_01 36:30

Oh my gosh. I don't know. I'm sure it makes a lot of money because that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. We're just really making $40 an hour.

SPEAKER_00 36:38

40 to 60 an hour. Oh my gosh. You could not pay me. You could you I you would I would have to make at least like I don't even know. I can't even We live in an area where you can smell dog food in the air sometimes, and I cannot. I can't. I remember being pregnant one time and having to run into work because smells were really bad for me.

SPEAKER_01 37:02

I don't I don't know if that's like a an hourly thing, because how could you sit there for a whole hour and try dog food?

SPEAKER_00 37:08

Different brands, different or like different types within the same brand. So, like, you know, like they have the puppy one and then they have soft foods and adults and seniors and allergy ones and wow. Okay, we can't get we can't talk about it anymore because I'm that one's a no for me too. Yeah, there's there's no money you could. I would rather be a professional mourner. Okay. Selling your used clothing, like socks, underwear, sports bras. Yeah. How much?

SPEAKER_01 37:41

It's probably based per item, right? I bet you could make like per it says per month.

SPEAKER_00 37:47

I didn't it didn't say per month.

SPEAKER_01 37:48

$2,000 per month.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

Correct. Between $200 and $2,000 a month. But some top sellers have made way more than that. That's easy.

SPEAKER_01 37:58

I'll do it.

SPEAKER_00 37:59

But they have to be worn. And I'll do it. I wear everyone. The longer worn, the higher the price. Okay. Um, I did have a friend, two friends, my friend Devin and Becky. Um, they went to Japan and they told me that there are vending machines there that you can buy like used underwear out of.

SPEAKER_01 38:18

This one you can buy a cupcake vending machine. This one is used clothing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 38:24

Isn't that bizarre? That's gross. Um, so but there's a market. There's a market for it. Again. Are we above this? No, that's easy. That is easy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:37

If you can if you could give me 2,000 bucks for like a hamper full of dirty clothes upstairs.

SPEAKER_00 38:43

You mean you have a whole hamper full of cash, is what you're telling me.

SPEAKER_01 38:46

I do. It's just rotting.

SPEAKER_00 38:50

Okay, this one I kind of want to do because of who I am. Naming people's babies. People? Apparently, people like parents will outsource naming their child.

SPEAKER_01 39:03

Is it because they're in a fight? Is it because Brad and Clarissa are in a fight over what to name the baby, or like, oh, I gotta name this thing, but I'm too busy.

SPEAKER_00 39:14

I don't know. Maybe both. Oh my gosh. Clarissa wants Reginald and Brad wants like Chuck.

SPEAKER_01 39:20

Well, that's probably still part of my like duties because they've kept me on retainer from their thing. So now I have to name their baby. But you have to like kind of give in to both sides. Uh, that'd be hard. Or you just do what you want.

SPEAKER_00 39:36

Like your baby's name is yellow. Your baby's name is Casserole. We'll call her Cass for short. Tater tot. But really, do you go safe with it or do you just like ruin that kid's life? No, safe. I'm all about the safe names. All right, fine. No, not fun. Safe names. I'm naming her Taylor Rex. So she can go by T-Rex?

SPEAKER_01 40:04

I like it. Yeah. I like it.

SPEAKER_00 40:10

Okay. Um professional line breaker, breakupper. So like you call people to break up with. Oh. Ooh. How much?

SPEAKER_01 40:21

Well, I guess it would probably depend on the length of the relationship. If it's just like a little relationship, I would say um $30 and I'll call them breakup. But if it's like a long-term thing, it's and I'm gonna have to stay on the phone for a bit, and you know I get stuck in conversations. Probably a hundred bucks.

SPEAKER_00 40:41

So is it per phone call? It's probably per phone call. Okay. Let me see. I just lost it. Oh, yeah. So this is saying $30 to $100 per breakup. So there's actually a guy that delivers bad news on TikTok. Have you seen those videos? He has done this before. And it's pretty funny, actually. I love it. So check that guy out. I don't have a I don't have a handle for you because I can't remember what his name is, but I'm sure it'll come up now that we're talking about it.

SPEAKER_01 41:08

And I bet you he now people just do it because it's like that's the cool thing to do.

SPEAKER_00 41:12

And it's not just breakups, he does like deliver bad news and that kind of stuff. So anyway. Um is he delivering like poor diagnoses? Oh, I hope people don't ask source for that.

SPEAKER_01 41:26

They're just doctor's office that's like, listen.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

You gotta call this person and tell them they've got chlamydia.

SPEAKER_01 41:32

No, the patient gets to opt in. Do you want me to call you or do you want, you know, fast talking rod over here?

SPEAKER_00 41:39

He just gives you the bullet points. Yeah. We'll do it in a character if you ask nicely.

SPEAKER_01 41:45

Well, that's extra.

SPEAKER_00 41:49

Okay. That's all I have for you today. It's just some fun little side hustle things. Okay. So do you have any any to add? Like, have you thought of side hustles that like I haven't covered here?

SPEAKER_01 42:00

Like selling stuff on Etsy, of course, but then it's goes back to the like, oh, then I'd have to prepare something because it'd probably be something like crafty that I'd have to make. Yeah. Don't want to be doing that.

SPEAKER_00 42:10

And then you run into that issue of like if it takes off, then you're like, oh.

SPEAKER_01 42:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 42:16

I have to do this?

SPEAKER_01 42:17

Um side hustle. I don't even know.

SPEAKER_00 42:23

Yeah. Maybe you should charge people to run marathons for them. No. Under their name.

SPEAKER_01 42:29

I'll run it for you at a average pace.

SPEAKER_00 42:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 42:34

You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 42:35

But then they pay for the race, and that the race is the fun part.

SPEAKER_00 42:37

Maybe they just want the metal.

SPEAKER_01 42:41

Okay. I could do that one. Do you want to just tell me? I'll run it for you. I'll buy your name. Okay. And a face mask. So which ones are we trying? Uh notary. I would do that one. Um, professional breaker upper feet, selling my worn clothing. Absolutely. Because then I could like replace it.

SPEAKER_00 43:05

There's like all the weird ones. Not like renting your backyard or oh, I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_01 43:12

That was a long time ago. I um my spouse is very averse to people and crowds, so I think he would hate if I rented out our backyard.

SPEAKER_00 43:22

Yeah, but would he love the cash?

SPEAKER_01 43:23

I don't know. I don't know if the juice would be worth the squeeze.

SPEAKER_00 43:27

Oh my god, stop trying to make it happen.

SPEAKER_01 43:30

Never.

SPEAKER_00 43:31

Ask, ask your husband, is this juice worth the squeeze?

SPEAKER_01 43:36

Uh no, that one would be hard though, because you'd have to well, maybe if people brought their own direct decorations. I mean parking. I'm not good at decorating. No. I got plenty of parking ground here.

SPEAKER_00 43:49

Yeah, no. Not me.

unknown 43:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 43:52

I live in the burbs. I'd probably do most of those things if the price was right, which we said maybe sometimes they were right and sometimes. They weren't.

SPEAKER_00 44:00

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Sometimes you just gotta hustle. So okay.

SPEAKER_01 44:06

Well, listeners, let us know which side hustles you want us to do, or if you want to buy my clothing.

SPEAKER_00 44:12

Should we do a vlog where we try some of these things? I'm not trying the pet foods. Don't even come at me. I'm not doing that.

SPEAKER_01 44:17

Oh, that's a that's a hard no.

SPEAKER_00 44:18

That's a hard no. Hard no. But like other things.

SPEAKER_01 44:21

You don't just walk into test pet or testing pet foods. Like, you gotta be like that. That takes a minute to get into. That one's too hard.

SPEAKER_00 44:28

I feel like you could probably just do it from home if you have a pet.

SPEAKER_01 44:32

Guarantee it takes some qualifications.

SPEAKER_00 44:36

Yeah, probably.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

I got cat food upstairs. You want me to go get it? No. No. Tastes gross.

SPEAKER_00 44:41

No. It tastes gross.

SPEAKER_01 44:42

It smells gross. Sorry. I've never tasted it, but it does smell gross.

SPEAKER_00 44:45

Should she just eat some on cracker?

SPEAKER_01 44:46

Sometimes I don't know. Sometimes you get it on your hand and then it's like.
