Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, they talk better than they say. Tell me, these
are the radio blogs on the.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
French like we're writing in our diaries, except we say
them aloud. We call them blogs, and we'll call them
blogs forever and ever and ever and ever. We don't
have to change the name as trends change. Well, I
don't even know what you call it now?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
A video? What would you call it? TikTok?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (00:25):
And what would you do? Blogs still exist?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I know?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
But like, do you think in twenty years we call
it blogs will sound old timing?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
No? I think it'll be like calling it like the
AOL segment. Oh no, and now copy serve, you know
what I mean? Like, what is the internet? What is
the email? Tell us about email? Take it away, Paulina,
Thank you so much, dear blog.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
So I'm on a mission right now to be a
financially stable what's the word financially resourceful woman? So I
am making my coffee at home and that's not a
new concept, right We've all you know, tried that at
one point or are doing it currently.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
But which probably staves anywhere between like twenty and thirty
dollars a week.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Roughly, which isn't crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
But oh but one hundred semi dollars a month. I
mean that's a cell phone bill and that's it, you.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Know, Yeah, it adds a plus. Some times I'll do
like two times a day in the drive through.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh why don't you just get the free coffee here
at work? So more money?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Well that's than another level, another phase unlocked. The next
phase of what I'm probably gonna have to do when.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Rufo doesn't eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner here right at work.
So eat chips for breakfast and ramen for lunch, and
then maybe like a nice some hot liquid cheese for dinner.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, you don't have to buy anything.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
It's the Rufio diet.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah. Take it back through water home, you know, Oh
I wonder we don't have any water.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
I'm always water water.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
She took the pack homey locking stuff up.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Right, Literally you need a key to get in there.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
So for me, though, I want it to be resourceful, right,
I want to just save money.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
So I make my coffee at home.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
But I bought the plastic, which is just I don't know,
like you've got to go on something, right, Even.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Though I have like the yetti and all that at home.
I like the plastic, So that's from home. This is
from home.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
That looks like a Duncan cup or a starbus.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Well, well the straw is from Duncan. You were using plastics,
you know. So I walked into Duncan.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's connected to a gas station in my house and
I just took the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Because I don't want to pay for straw straw.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
So you're you're making your coffee at home, but you're
stealing the straws from the coffee shop.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yes, yes, I love it.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Got save. Can you know what metal straw pack?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
I do have those, so maybe that I'm not convinced
about the metal straw I'm not convinced they're ever clean.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I'm really not.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Oh I have a little brush.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, I don't know. You got to clean a good Yeah,
not convinced. You guys.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Look, I love a duck and a plant push and
whatever else eats. The straws, I love them. I love
it whatever. I love a one arm crab. But the
paper straws and the metal straws, I'm just not.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Able to get on board the paper.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
The paper I'm not And guys, look, I mean recycled,
you know, like, let's care about the environment and animals
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
But like I depict a.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Few, like rebought metal straws every six months. It's better
than using plastic straws.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
It is, and I gotta get on that trend.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
So steal some of these somewhere else I can find them.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I whale.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
But my thing is I also just maybe it's a
lazy girl in me. But like I just have to
toss it when I'm done.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
And that's the thing. The metal straws are in my bag,
They're in my car. You've seen it.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I know you've all seen them in my car. They're everywhere.
Because I'm lazy. I'm just like, okay, I'll throw it here,
throw it there, but here.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Just you're done.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
This is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
You bought the cups that look just like duncan. You
stole the straws, and then you make the coffee. Now
why the plastic cups? So like, if you're making a
coffee at home every day.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
It's just because because I want to throw it away
exactly to me, it's easier.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
But I do have tumblers, but then I have to
go home and I have to wash them. I tumble.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
If you're trying to be financially, like save money. Then
why you buying plastic cups?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
I have a coupon on Amazon and they're a dollars
for pack one hundreds, So it's not bad.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's not bad.

Speaker 5 (04:03):
I mean eighteen bucks for like a hundred cups.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
What macs? You gonna steal napkins?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well, I've done that too when I'm with running long
paper towels or whatever else.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Condiments, you're gonna steal the salt and pepper shakers.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Not the same, not the same, Nina do.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
No way, Nina does this to Nina. Hi, good morning, welcome.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I was calling because I was listening to Paulina House.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
She takes the straws from Duncan right. My dad used
to go.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
To Duncin Donuts every morning and we would have sleeves
of the napkins like that was our household.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Napkins.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
I see. Sometimes they're just under the cabinet that they're
the thing, like the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
Yeah, napkins, yes, wow, napkins, straws. He would get our
garbage bags from Dunkin Donuts.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
No, I've heard of people doing the stealing your toilet
paper at work. I've heard about that.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah, people, do you steal it?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
They gave it to him.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
That's what he told you. Why they know they didn't
give it to your father's a thief?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Coffee twice a month.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
He was there every day.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
I love this man. Okay, Nina, well thank you.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
If you're gonna take the napkins from the place, are
you gonna Are you gonna buy a napkin dispenser now
for your.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
House or just steal that too.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
I need the whole face, you know, the napkins face.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, So you're saving money. The only put you're really
saving money on it is the straw, yes.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
But straws are expensive, you know what I mean. So,
and then making coffee home is cheap for Yeah, you
buy a currig and espresso whatever you got, you know, coffee.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
I try that.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
We have coffee cups, lids, straws all here at work.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Okay, and I have it at home now different times.
I got the book.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
We're saving money, I'm saving time.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
This is all girl, man.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
This girl meth. That's saving money if you'll just go
with it. Yeah, that's why.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I've never noticed that at subway they give you the napkins. Yes,
and I think it's brilliant because if you think about scale,
like it's I need more than three napkins or two
napkins or whatever. But like, think about when you go
to any other restaurant and they have the self served napkins,
you grab three times the number of napkins that you

(06:21):
actually need. Oh, normally you just have way too many
and you throw them away. But there they just you know,
they give you what they give you. If you need more,
I guess you can go ask for them. But think
about how much money that must save them times you know,
a gazillion stores. If everybody takes two less nap too
fewer napkins, you know what I mean, then then that's
probably millions of dollars. By the way, this reminds me

(06:43):
since you brought it up about stealing from work and
that we have a little like a little kitchen area
in there, and there is coffee and occasionally a soda
or like a water shows up in there. I don't
know where they come from, and there's some chips and
things like that. However, there's been there's another controversy here
and I meant to bring this up because one of
the suits here literally spends three or four hours crafting

(07:06):
these emails. I mean, do you truly go sell something
like honest to God, sell a commercial advertisement for this
radio show? But instead we're writing these neat little emails.
But we have apparently a controversy here at work that
I wanted to bring up. And here is what the
email says from one of the suits. I wanted to
make sure everyone is aware that someone in our offices

(07:27):
is suffering from single pop tart syndrome or SPTS.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
It's a condition afflicting millions of people worldwide. The impact
it sufferer decides a nice pop tart snack would be delicious. However,
sometimes you reach for both tasty tarts and realize both
tasty tarts and realize that you only want one being
nice You think a coworker might like the other one
Located on a counter in an unsealed wrapper, flavor, unknown
expiration data, mystery germ count potentially in the millions. While

(07:53):
I appreciate the generosity and the decision to reduce food waste,
these pop tarts end up in a land film. So
I guess what some would around here is doing. It's
the only one one, so they just take it there's
two in the pact, and then they just put the
other one down and expect if someone's just gonna come
and say, oh, I'd like one pop tart and it's
just open and laying here.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
And in the picture that was.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Provided, because of course there was a photograph provided and
a number of hashtags as well, it's the pop tart
itself is actually touching the counter surface. It's not even
still in the wrapper.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
And so I think he did that to expose to
see what the pop tar look like.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Okay, well, I don't know if that was an actual
crime scene photo or not. I really don't know. But
what I know is I will say, well, I think
this email probably took way too much time, valuable time
they could have been using other things. I would argue
that it is a waste because no one's going to
come grab that random errants pop tart and just eat it.
So I do agree with the suggestion, which would be,

(08:50):
if you only want one and there are two, why
don't you have the package and say, hey, would anyone
like else like this other delicious pop tart in the all?
And then I'll open it and you can grab it yourself,
and then we'll share as opposed to let me just
basically eat half of this and then just set it
down and maybe somebody else wants the other half of
my nasty ass bop tart. So I don't disagree with

(09:13):
the sentiment here, but I also think, you know, the
time could be used in a different way.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Correct.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Yeah, The things that I see around here are wild.
I saw someone so you know, we have a machine
that gives us hot and cold water, right, yeah, it's
delicious water. I'm actually a water stop. I think it's
good water.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
I saw someone with their water bottle that's about this
big one of those huge aggressive ones.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
People that can't see what Klin's doing, which is one
percent of people.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
It's you were holding about you guys.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Two feet tall water container, big one, the biggest one,
taking all of our plastic water bottles from the fridge,
water screwing, warring them all.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
In where wait wait are you serious? Where I have
a pole.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
I think about it like two to three times a day.
So you can have the name, say their name right now.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
You can have filtered water, and it is like it's
a big machine, like it's a legitimate filtered water machine.
That arguably is because if you. I follow that guy
in TikTok who's the water snob. And we're not buying
the highest quality water bottles here either, Like it's just
it's it's purified municipal tap water is what's in these bottles,

(10:23):
which is the same thing that's coming out of that machine,
arguably better depending on the filter. People are literally emptying
water bottles in the Audacity Kale and there was.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Like five that it took to fill up.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
It was one of those big water bottles. And I
was like, this is why every time I.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Want to Jesus Holy water that's in the refrigerator that
you're filling up. This is the same crap that comes
out of the sink. It's just in a plastic bottle
for convenience. Correct, So are you yes? Normally correct? I
am speechless. If I saw that I would start it,
there would be an alternation. I keep to myself. You

(11:01):
know that I don't mess around. You know that I
do what I got to do. I leave here because
I'm not trying to mess with.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
How would that go? Pretend I'm this person?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Excuse me?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Are you an idiot? I don't think so, because you
look like one.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Why you're emptying pre packaged water bottles for convenience into
a bottle when we have a nice filtered thing right
here that would be faster, more efficient and better for
the environment.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
This well, listen, I don't care about the environtent and listen,
this water is for everyone.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
I hate you, Oh pard with me? Yeah? By the way,
would you like having as nasty ass pop tart I.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Just found you said you hated me.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It was half open.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, but you know what if I saw someone doing that,
I would lick the pop tart before I shared it
with him. Oh, That's what I would do, because that's
what you deserve you doing so that is insane.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Are you being circus?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
No? No, I'm being serious. That is insane.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
I was really upset. Wow, But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I've never heard of anything like I've never heard. It's
not like it's evy on in the in the It's
like it's perry A or some fancy water and you.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Want fancy water.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
No, it's it's it's period Detroit's finest or whatever like
you know what I mean. Like, it's it's whatever I
has lead in it.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Oh my god, whoa.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
And the machine straight.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's just amazing. Would you do that at home? The answers, No,
you wouldn't. If some if you were paying for that water,
you would.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Not do that.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Have you seen the microwave?

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I honestly, and this is why I don't attend the
pot luck, because I see how people are willing to
treat a common space. I can only imagine what you're
doing behind closed doors. If you're willing to treat a
space that everybody uses the way that like the science
experiment that is our breakroom, then I don't want to
know what your house looks like where nobody else can see. Wow,

(12:44):
Paul Liquid you started, look what I've done. This is insane.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
I know you see.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
I know the pop starts on the emails that's okay.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
What I'm sorry, and the water that takes a kick.
Give not need a minute to myself right now
