Speaker 1 (00:01):
Recently, I just learned about Giving Tuesday. It's brooken Jeffrey
in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's a new thing. You guys know about that holiday.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
It's been around for years.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Man, I knew about receiving Saturdays Thursdays, but giving Tuesday,
that was kind of new to me.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Well, it's like right after Cyber Monday, and it encourages
people to give to nonprofits.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's like Black Friday, Cyber Monday.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
And Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
Well, and there's also Small Business Saturday that happens right
after Bath Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Am I just gonna have any money?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I mean, I think the whole idea is because you
feel so guilty after dropping a ton of cash and
eating all the food on Thanksgiving and Black Friday and
Cyber Monday, you need to do something nice to give
back to the community to make up for it.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It's sure, I didn't just spend a bunch of money
on my family.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I hope it's not just about guilt. I hope you'd
want to.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
But sure, that's how you give, that's how you get
that's my motivating path.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, I have to, But there's a lot of ways
to give back. One way is to donate stuff that
you don't need any more to places like Goodwill. Yeah,
I know, the same goes. One person's junk is another
person's treasure. But that's not always the case. Because a
list just came out of the most bizarre items people
(01:09):
donated to Goodwill this past.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
So this is gonna be.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Really this is great. I can't imagine being the person
who has to sift through all this stuff. Oh I
had a friend do it for half a day and
then they quit it lunchtime.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Employees, Yeah, some of the items that they receive are
pretty out there. And here's the list of the top
ten strangest ones. Number ten was an actual working guillotine
what show to Kill People, the French execution device from
the Middle Ages.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We put this in the toy section the section.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And an employee says they think it's sold for thirty bucks.
Thirty it's a good deal and it's the door of
the guillotine.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
If you have a chicken farm, maybe it'd be helpful.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Is that dark?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, speed up the process.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Number nine was a bag full of groceries which was
probably put in the donation been by accident by some
clueless husband and his wife was like, go give everything
that's in the trunk to charity.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Go jar pick.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Or they're like, this isn't the food bank.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, so that was an oopsie. Number eight a sealed
glass jar labeled fart June nineteen seventy.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Five'sless honest to god, they could have evade that and
made probably that money.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Does it work like wine where the aging process makes
it like better and more refined.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's interesting, like hints of oak and last night's left.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Before we opened it, just like called cloudy the jar.
This is a bottle of flat ulance.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
We're talking about the most bizarre items people donated to
Goodwill last year, either by accident or on purpose.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Number seven was.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
A rock, Just a plain, normal, whitish gray rock.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Sometimes I think that Goodwill probably spends more money just
getting rid of.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
This stuff than there.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Well, no, because the weird part is Goodwill putting eleven
dollars price tag on the rock rock and it's sold
in under a week.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Wow, the smooth skipping rock.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
You're interested to the good Will and go get one
for yourself eleven bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Number six was a Louis Vaton purse.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Oh yeah, they get all sorts of designer stuff there.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
But this one came with a bonus because inside the
purse it had a tiny bag of real human teeth.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Hey, listen, the tooth fairies got to clean out her closet.
Every Louis teeth himself, mister herself.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Number five was a fuzzy chair shaped like a Labrador retriever.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It wasn't a real Labrador retriever, by the way. It's
just a chair that looked and was shaped like one.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
As you be traying your doggie on this, and it
doesn't matter if you get dog hair on it because
it is exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Make more realistic.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Number four an entire cardboard box filled with original newspapers
from historical events like the day of JFK's assassination, Richard
Nixon's resignation day, the nineteen sixty nine lunar moon Land day.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I don't like, somebody's grandma's house got cleaned out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, and some gen z was like, what's this box
of like weird paper?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Just donate it. Also, it's JK not j f K.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Acronyms back in the day were so dumb. We're talking
about the most bizarre items people donated to the good
will last year, either by accident or on purpose. Number
three was a quote slightly used confin.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Oh, only slightly used to a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Of questions that I don't think we really want to
get the full answers to.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
They're like sitting in a great uncle's funeral and they're like, hey,
his hand just twitched.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Get him out, Yeah, get him out. Number two strange
item donated to good Will a package of underwear for squirrels. Ah,
I want to see a star leg underwear.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
How boxers brief as, I don't know, tidy whities. You
have to put squirrels in tidy white.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
How's your tail going to get out the back?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, flannel boxers would be cut as.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Famously stockpiling nuts, so I guess it fits. And the
number one most bizarre item that was donated to Goodwill
in the past year was a painting of Rosie the
Robot the Robot made from the Jetsons, showing Rosie doing
a selfie in a provocative pose and don't worry, Yes, Jose,
(05:54):
I have the photo of it for you.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Oh my god, really sexy Rosie. I never thought I
see get rid of this considered. I don't know if
it's a really good painting. I want to buy it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
She's not naked, she's I think she still got her
little like.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
She's got her buttons on in her French.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Collar apron thing.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
But yeah, she's even holding a rose.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I need to know which good Will it's as so
I can go get it.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I'm sure it's already off the shelf by now. That
is a hot picture.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Those are the strangest things people gave to Goodwill in
the past year.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
We got your phone tap coming up right after this.
