Totally Awesome Jobs You Probably Never Thought Existed

[Music] very often people think it's gonna be sunny and and they realize it's not really really music it's not impossible to make music with vegetables my name is Susanna got my ax and then I'm a member of the vegetable orchestra the orchestra exists since 18 years now the earth instrument rolls the tomato because you can do sounds with tomatoes but it will be messy for sure we go shopping on the market first we choose all the vegetables there we have three kinds of instruments one is the red innate you can just buy it at the market and play it's like the head horoscopes not ready already and then there are the simple instruments like with one cut or some cut to get it like that then with the more complex instruments we have some that work like normal instruments you know the pumpkin is the bass drum and the sound of the pumpkin is really important good after shopping we go to the venue and it starts to build instrument all in all it takes two to three hours to build all the instruments for everybody and then we start with the soundcheck and things we have new instruments each time we have to have a very long soundcheck [Music] [Applause] [Music] we have a lot of different musical influences in the orchestra so they're really many people everybody's interested in different things we make it soup during the building process of the vegetables instrument with the remaining vegetables when we serve it to the audience after the concert and it's also after hearing and seeing us and smelling the vegetables which will be intense in there because it's so small this theater and then you can also you never get it out of your head anymore if you're in the orchestra to look vegetables in another way there's a crime detective follow the clues they get close but then they reach the water so they call in underwater criminal and investigator that's Mike Barry hold on this is Mike Barry I dive in very strange places looking for very strange thing mike has been an underwater criminal investigator for 35 years how easy is it to get rid of a murder weapon all it is is applicable and someone's mind that murder weapon is forever gone if no idea there are people like me crazy enough to go to health care search law enforcement depends on guys like Mike to preserve and recover evidence your three cores in underwater Criminal Investigation is body recovery vehicle recovery and evidence recovery I get called about twice a week sometimes more sometimes less and when a call comes in chances are Mike's in for a challenge some of these locations are absolutely disgusting our typical dive site is dark it's deep it's cold full of obstructions it's contaminated the danger is there when you get in the water you know I've had murders tell me you know you'll never find I said well we'll see go ahead number one for diver one there's nothing like finding the target when your hand hits it and you feel it and you realize you've got it for a public safety diver there's no greater thing and when he's out there searching for a body I look at it as an honor because you realize the importance of what you're asked to do there's a family and there's no closure until you bring them up you know not every diver can do this not everybody has it in their DNA it's what I was meant to do I couldn't think of anything better to do with my life truth is I can't wait for the next call to help someone in some way either to bring closure or to bring a conviction [Music] I cook for warthogs EMU lions tigers hyenas Spoonbill Sunbear Lemang go and drag they can be very picky every morning I am preparing around 350 pounds of food my name is Fifi Kyle's and I prepare the food for the animals at the Oakland Zoo I'm also known as physician my day starts off very early before the Sun even comes up I've got to get the food for the animals or we have nothing to prepare the calm before the storm of getting to the market I need to get about a ton of food today literally the produce market is kind of hectic you've got a lot of forklifts running back and forth you got books everywhere there's a lot to choose from I have to say organized or this can get very overwhelming I've got a huge market that I've got to go through I've got to pick out the right produce so the limited amount of time at the market because I have to get back here to prepare the diet I open the door to the kitchen and then I know my day is truly begun [Music] Sun bears 48 grams Apple Kawada Monday three hard-boiled eggs line half 10 boom and when I hit the brakes off the line seven serving who hold my heresy grams restriction one draw vermin vitamin 44 grand my banana LoCascio rented actually four grams we follow in the zoo itself as a whole prepares about a thousand diets a day so that's anywhere from the elephant's down to the leaf cutter ants and all the little reptiles and all the little frogs it's important that we get the diets right because the animals can't send the food back they can't tell us oh I don't like this we don't take days off everything still has to happen the food gets prepared exactly the same way every single day I tried killing most Christmas wants they don't pay attention usually people first see the mannequin the kind of wandering deal what does it do what's the purpose of it it has mouth it has teeth that have got gums they had a cheek we could sell we got the same haircut as well my name is Philip realice I am the director of sales for columbia dental phone we supply dental mannequins to dental school we basically supplies that first patient whether the train on before they actually will want to like the company started in 1917 so next year Columbia gallon will be a hundred years old the models the mannequins are all assembled by hand he saw well over a million people a year and we make a variety of models we provide models of retardo and the teeth we make models that have a variety of disease under the gums on the guns if they need to they could do a narrow root canal on the dog and cat as well we have models that have absolutely no teeth at all so they can learn how to do a complete denture the reason why this actually looks this way we really didn't want to put any gender in the mannequin so it could be anybody the design of it is based on an order average human would look like as far as the size of the head the ears the mouth opening the softest of the gum tissue the only thing that doesn't suddenly is maybe the bad breath but other than that it's a great patient because it just cooperates with you I've been with the company for 41 years I have no idea that I'll be working with dental mannequins at all all these piece my granddaughters think I worked for the tooth fairy and so that really works out well because it's the parents that get to put money under the pillow for to bill tell mom they took their grandpa he knows all he knows the tooth fairy a lot of people consider mini-golf to be very benign and all fun and games but at this level it can be a cutthroat competition among the greatest players in the world [Music] my name is Matt mail I'm a professional mini golfer I was a regular golfer ever since childhood I started up at about eight years old and cutting was always the greatest facet of my game the idea of doing nothing but putting for 18 holes instantly appealed to me and I just began practicing a lot people don't realize that mini-golf is a highly precise sport improvement can come very tediously to be competitive it really requires an extensive mapping of each hole and we can be out here for up to 10 hours a day or so for several days before a tournament when I first arrived at a course I diagnosed the hole I want to come up with a clear plan of attack on each hole and then just it's a matter of repetition from there we are at the 2016 mini-golf Masters in North Myrtle Beach South Carolina this tournament is the premier event each year in mini golf it draws players from all over the world the green jacket is the most coveted prize in mini-golf the competition is very fierce the players here are the best of the best and it's an immense challenge because even a stretch of five bad minutes or 10 bad minutes can disqualify you from contention just a tiny miscue here or there can spell major disaster on one hole I really do have an authentic admiration of what the winner had to do to perform under the pressure of such a major tournament because I know from experience how hard it is many golf's not a sport for everyone there's constant frustration there's constant adversity it it rewards patience and it rewards determination and it never gets old to see the ball go on the hole I don't think that thrill will ever go away [Music]
