She's been giving blood.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I heard blood left.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I heard yesterday we were all just hanging out and
all of a sudden, Sky randomly brought up her shoes.
She put her feet up and brought up her shoes
because she wanted us, She needed us to know that
she had to have closed toed shoes on because she
was doing some charity work.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Show.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, nobody.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just to be clear, no one asked.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
At some point, you guys were going to ask, because
I never was like nine, So before you guys asked,
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, Sky's charity work was so wild yesterday. To me,
it was like she started a second job. We ain't
done yet. It's time for the one podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
A year, completely uncensored and unding filtered except for that
part the party.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
The show's after show starts now Volunteer Chick and Loves
It in there that's helping the community. Man, Wow, how
do you do it?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Give them back?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
How do you do it?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What do you find the time?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
In all honesty, yesterday, I don't know how you found
the time? She was there almost longer than her actual job.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I left the house yesterday morning at like three forty
five and didn't get back yesterday afternoon until about like
four thirty.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
So it was, it was.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It was a long day.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yeah, I was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I got home, I ate lunch, a nap, I went
to the gym, met a new guy in recovery.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's all before Scott got home.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, that is true, the whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And I lived a whole life before you got left here.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, to go volunteer right now, Usually what you volunteer
for like an hour tops.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Right, Actually it's normally a two hour shift.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But there's shift.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, Like you have to sign up for a shift
and it like tells you how long it is, what
time it starts, all that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, So I volunteer my time. I'll give you the
time that I have. I have an hour.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I'd like to do an hour.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
So that's not good enough, No, so I volunt do
most of my volunteering through Feeding San Diego. To choose
that well because just like you guys said, so, I
looked into a bunch of other places, but most other
places are more demanding than this, Like a two hour
shift is like amazing in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I nobody does it.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They want to get people in there and try to
get him as long as they can, because you know,
it's probably hard. But if you, I don't know, I
feel like if you were more lax about it, maybe
more people would want to do it. Yeah, I had
to do it in.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
An hour like once, you know, one day, once in
a while.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, because I really wanted to volunteer like animals totally.
That's why I really want to volunteer with like animals
and shelters and something like that. But oh my god, well, no,
I won't do it because it's too much of a commitment.
Like first you have to do all these background checks
or something, and then you.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Have there's nothing to that, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You have to you.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Okay, it's it's an annoying stent. It's all annoying.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Background I did a background check for the snack bar annoying.
So anyway, so there's that, guys, if people can make
it through that and then but the bigger thing is
like you literally have to commit to working like one
day a week and it's like a full shift.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's like like four to eight hours.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Understand how volunteering works.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, ye.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Do that.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, it's literally Yeah, you've already said that like five times,
very clear.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
It's been like two minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And you do volunteer does the work you do in
your recovery program.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I just don't talk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well that you mean you just brought it up.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I have to meet with the guy.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But I do a lot more things I don't talk
about right exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And so you are actually you are actually helping the community.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Thank you. Yes, volunteering maybe maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's anonymous.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
That's so weird.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So so that's why I normally like doing these feeding
San Diego shifts because you can sign up online, you
pick which one you want to do. All the shifts
I've worked, the longest one was like two hours. Oh
okay a lot, it's really.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Two hours.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I did that one shift there with my son.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Read never really went back.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But we're trying to show him like like the no,
it was going to be her new thing.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, new thing we're going to hour two hours
was a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I mean it's you made it through one.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And she lives off of that change. Anytime someone brings
up she goes, you know I did that.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
One other nice things.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I just don't talk about me, please, Like my neighbor,
I help out with a lot of private to count
I'm hosting.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
A board that I'm here, we go.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I don't do anything.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Wow, I'm on a board. I don't talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Believable.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but I'm just I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You don't know what board. You don't know what I'm
doing for it. I said, don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:38):

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Can't beat the meats.
Speaker 2 (06:02):

Speaker 5 (06:03):
We're beating me beat the meat. That could be the
name of it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):

Speaker 5 (06:14):
I could be good at it.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Thank you you do that guy, I know that's not charity.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I can't imagine how shittyest guy, no offense guy, but guy,
come on, there's only cheddar cheese on it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
There's no Deli meats. And then there's a calf and
half that she bought from Albertson's.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yeah, we don't need to come after my board meets.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Okay, guys heavy with pretzels, put pretzels.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Okay, Well.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I definitely do Okay, you know I'd love a good
apricot on there, right. So yeah, so normally that's what
I do. It's a two hour shift. Normally they have
you doing no, no, definitely not.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
If you've been downtown lately. Well, you're going to the
Padres game Sunday, so.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You'll see, you'll see.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Uh so you know.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
The big thing they do is they rescue food from
different places.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
You know, whether it's a grocery store, a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You know who's not going to use it or it's
about to go bad in a couple of days, and
they'll like quote rescue it.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
They bring it in. And normally what I do when
I volunteer.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Because who believes you know those expiration dates? Yeah, what
are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Well, and they get like so much produce too. That's legit.
It just doesn't look perfect, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Like that apple.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
If it's near the expiration date, I won't Yeah, but
you got it.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I won't like the expression day couldn't say, you know,
August thirtieth, if it hits the if it hits the
twenty seventh, I won't either.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Come on, that's insane. It is out back and you
did it's the thirtieth, it's the twenty seventh. You're not
gonna make yourself a turkey.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Because I'll open it and I'll touch it, and if
it feels a little slimy that on top of that
the boardship that.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Just happened with all the uh sisteria, Okay, well that's
the only one you eat, can't I can't?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So you have it?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah I have I'm gonna have my wife the appear
cheese with mold on it and just cut off the.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Piece of cheese with mold block. If I ever found
out she throw, I throw it.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Throw dummy fucked.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
So normally what we're doing is we're like going through
all that stuff, and it's normally a lot of produce.
So you'll be going through like a big bin of
onions and then sorting out.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's what you smell the onions.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Okay, that's a stupid song. You've been singing for over
a decade. I don't smell like twenty years. That's true
for two decades.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And so you know, normally you'll spend two hours literally
sorting through onions and putting the good ones in this bin,
and then the bad ones go to like.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
A farm to be so fucking boring.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh no, they play great tunes.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
There range you're you're chatting, what kind.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Of tunes are we talking?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
It depends who's like the playlist, who's like the head volunteer.
But I've been in there before where it's like classic rock.
I've been in there before where it's like pop, you know,
like Taylor Swift and like the weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I would go and.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I would be having a good time for forty five minutes,
and then once like an hour in.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Last fifteen minutes, you're kind of looking at the I'd.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Like and then and this guy's like, you know, there's
an hour left. I'd be like, Hey, I'm fucking out here.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm done. I did an hour. I'm not getting paid.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I look, okay, there's fucking no chance. Start I can't
do it yea here, No, the.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Time normally flies most of the time. I why why
I go with is.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
That kiss from a Roads by Seal? I'm in love
this song?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah? What time?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It led to a hot conversation with you know, one
of the old ladies volunteering about all the concerts she's.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Been to and who what is the people that volunteer? Like,
what kind of people are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
You get three groups, I've seen three groups. One is
the old retired people who like.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What you dream. Yes, that's that's the groups sky falls.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I honestly, those are the people I gravitate the most
and I chat the most with. They're they're retired, a
little bit more well off, they want to give.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
All of that. Uh So, we got that group.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
We then have either a group of people who are
required to be there so either you're required to be
there by the court.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Always friends situation.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Or these are the people that beat control and troubled youth.
Or in that group, well that's why you did.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
You were trying to show read the I guess you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yes, I know, I know it was in court worker
one time.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Uh So, and that group also could have students in it,
who are there just to get college man, so one
or two, you know, so there's a.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You get volunteer hours and stuff in high school totally.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
So there's a group that's kind of required to be there.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And then the third group you'll find is the corporate
people who they got a choice to either go to
work today or they could wear these fun matching t
shirts and all go volunteer together for.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
The day to take a picture.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Also, clients share with clients everybody how amazing the company.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Is, unless like, unless you had to do a couple
hours of the.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Feeding thing and then eight hours of work, so that
it's like I'd rather go work.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Two hours compared to eight hours conions for two hours
and behind the desk.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Right, I'm used to this. I can I can make
it day fly by.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I don't wearing a matching shirts with Sky that has
iHeart Radio.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
And don't forget to take a picture in.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Front of the logo walls hold an onion, yep, exactly,
big onion Sky's head.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What's big?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, she's more of a shallot, not a shallot.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Okay, I'm not a shallon. I haven't.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
This Harry like this?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Okay, none of this that's ever happened. It's my head.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's our normal.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
You're stupid.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
So normally I'll go with a girlfriend and then we'll
go to like dinner after or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's the normal, but very.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Different than girls.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh yeah, you get up after. Okay, I'm drunk while it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, give me a cigarette, babe.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Wait cigarette?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Hungry people need right, I don't.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
They don't give away. No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Flavor. Okay, okay, smoked onion.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Smoking the onion. That's so gross. It's a very sanitary
I didn't do that. That's gross.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
But yesterday I kind of got a wild hair at
the last minute, and I wanted to, okay, shut up.
I wanted to volunteer because I hadn't volunteered all summer long. Guilty, Yes,
of course, play at the beginning of summer.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We're so hungry.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I'm going to volunteer all the time. I'm gonna be
there bullshit.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So I went to sign up and I saw a
new offering on the volunteering website that I thought, well,
they have opened a market place, and now basically what
the mark place is is in the facility they have
like over kind of off of miror Mesa Boulevard.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
They built their own little grocery store.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is it like a warehouse type place?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So yeah, so it's a big warehouse where they bring
in all the food from that's donated from Vaughns and
Chili's and whoever the heck has donated the food, right,
and but they took a section of that and legit
built a grocery store. I mean that's a smaller grocery store.
It's not gonna be the size of your Vaughn's. But
the deal is is that people from the community are
allowed to come once a month and do a pass
(14:32):
through the store and take whatever groceries they want. So
like say, you just launched.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Your job to prove that you're down now, No.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
There's no requirements, Like you could be super well off,
but go and like say, say your neighbor is like
elderly and needy, you can go on behalf of your neighbor.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
She does.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She has elderly living with her.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Okay, I think he's older now he's fifty for the
best ten years.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
So I saw they had a volunteer shift in the
marketplace open and I was like, that looks exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I didn't know you don't know. I didn't know at
the time, like a checker or I don't know, like
am I a checker? Am I a bad boy? Am
I a stalker?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Like?
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Am I? What would you your dream job at a
grocery store?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
My dream job, I think to be a checker, honestly,
but I knew that wasn't going to be an option
because nobody pays for anything, so there's nothing to check
or scan.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
But but if I was working.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
To be like the Costco just just.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
She could ever do that because she's too like throw
and would be backed up.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
No one's ever leaving Costco?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Can you show me your tricks?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Not seen me every single okay, okay, well you must
now live here. So I was excited to do this
and I signed up without kind of reading any details
and a kind of different I decided, you know, it's
a different time.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
It's in the middle of the day.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Most of my friends like work normal jobs, so we
normally do like a later shift. So I'm like, fuck it,
I'm just going to go buy myself and I'm just
going to go do this myself.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh you want to if a friend is there, you
can chat with him and you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Want to get out of your house.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
That's crazy here until like one she does busy work
busy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I know, But if I do it at home, I
have the husband hovering over me, wanting to know what
I'm doing, telling me about what are you making? Because
he has to do pick up and it. And here's
the interesting part. It was a three hour shift.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Two is ridiculous, it's impossible. One is sort of the
sweet spot.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Three hours And what did you get out of that?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
A great feeling in the community for three hours. So
that's the thing. So I show up and my shift
starts at like.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You didn't make any money shift.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't think you can understand how vos voluntary shift.
In my shift.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I had to clock in at around noon?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You got Did they give you like a clock in card? No,
but I wish they did, so stamp it. They probably
don't even have that anymore. No, I mean it's probably
all digital now. So I show up and then I'm
concerned because I see on the door that the hours
of the marketplace are nine to one, but I have
a three hour shift and it's noon, So how does that?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
How does that work? And that is when they inform
us I'd look at that and think, fuck, yeah, they
got the time? What hour shift?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
No, it turns out, I guess the second shift of
the day at the marketplace is kind of like the
people who are at the grocery.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Store in the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Their job is to stalk everything and clean, like we're
talking about breaking down boxes, mopping floors, disinfecting arts. Okay, Jamie,
I see you pointing and fucking laughing at me over ok.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You know when you were doing all that, you know
what I was doing, taking a nap.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I used to. I used to be on clothes every
once in a while. McDonald's. It was rough. You're you're
gotta stay, like you said, a lot longer after the
store's closed. Yeah, I guess to hear another hour. Yeah,
come on, man, you.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Make yourself food or something.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I think so well, it depends, I mean, because that's
pretty late. Well, and what you've you've even even I
was thirteen, I wasn't thirteen. I was fifteen way off.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Even when you were fifteen off.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, you know, you gotta stay keep it tight. I
gotta line in my bike home, man, I don't want
to be all heavy.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well, and plus, can.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You imagine if you clean the grill and then some
one of the other employees came in and started fucking
cooking but.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The grill, Yeah, where's it?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Just you?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Was your manager Bill there too.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It depends one of us would open, one of us
with clothes. Yeah, because well we're in charge.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
You think he would eat on it clothes?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh what do you think, dude? Anything left over? He's
line it up? Yeah? Is that an extra flat fish? Skied?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
No, no, no one was eating anything. So it was
very different than what I expected. And the thing is is, again,
like I talked about the people who volunteer, well, it
was a lot of older ladies, old retired ladies who
I love talking to, amazing. But when it came to
(19:58):
looking for someone to do the heavy lifting, and you're
looking around the room and you see a woman in
her mid forties and then you see a bunch of
women in their seventies.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You're the whip snap, Okay, shut up, I'm the one
with the muscles.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
So, like, seriously, like one of those old ladies could
have beat my ass, like fucking I know it. Like
I would have put money on her in the ring,
you know what I mean? Like I know it, and
uh so, yeah. So I kept going back and forth
to the warehouse, lifting like cases of like milk, and
then like bringing them out, putting them in the fridge,
(20:35):
breaking down the boxes, bringing it out to the recycling thing.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
So would you have people that do that for you?
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I don't know. I do that for me at home.
No I know, No, no I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
So it was very rewarding because I even I even
took pictures and shut up, look at this. I got
to wear a vest I was going in the warehouse,
and you take.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The weirdest pictures. I was going the weirdest pictures.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yes, we know you did it, volunteers.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Look at all this, Look at all this milk. I
stalked you guys and creamer. Look how nice that stocked you.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Look at that A lot
Though. I don't know if you ever heard that Sky
from time to time will do some charity work. I volunteer.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, I don't like to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
She ever brought that up to you? You know, first
you're hearing about it.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
No, I think that, Yeah, I've heard of.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Mention that from her, really from her, and.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
She's been giving blood.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I heard blood left.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I heard yesterday we were all just hanging out and
all of a sudden, Sky randomly brought up her shoes.
She put her feet up and brought up her shoes
because she wanted us, She needed us to know that
she had to have closed toed shoes on because she
was doing some charity work.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Show.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, nobody.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just to be clear, no one asked.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
At some point, you guys were going to ask, because
I never was like nine, So before you guys asked,
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, Sky's charity work was so wild yesterday. To me,
it was like she started a second job. We ain't
done yet. It's time for the one podcast.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
A year, completely uncensored and unding filtered except for that
part the party.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
The show's after show starts now Volunteer Chick and Loves
It in there that's helping the community. Man, Wow, how
do you do it?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Give them back?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
How do you do it?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
What do you find the time?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I don't I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
In all honesty, yesterday, I don't know how you found
the time? She was there almost longer than her actual job.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I left the house yesterday morning at like three forty
five and didn't get back yesterday afternoon until about like
four thirty.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
So it was, it was.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It was a long day.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yeah, I was yesterday.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I got home, I ate lunch, a nap, I went
to the gym, met a new guy in recovery.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's all before Scott got home.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Yeah, that is true, the whole life.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And I lived a whole life before you got left here.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, to go volunteer right now, Usually what you volunteer
for like an hour tops.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
Right, Actually it's normally a two hour shift.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
But there's shift.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, Like you have to sign up for a shift
and it like tells you how long it is, what
time it starts, all that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, So I volunteer my time. I'll give you the
time that I have. I have an hour.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I'd like to do an hour.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
So that's not good enough, No, so I volunt do
most of my volunteering through Feeding San Diego. To choose
that well because just like you guys said, so, I
looked into a bunch of other places, but most other
places are more demanding than this, Like a two hour
shift is like amazing in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I nobody does it.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
They want to get people in there and try to
get him as long as they can, because you know,
it's probably hard. But if you, I don't know, I
feel like if you were more lax about it, maybe
more people would want to do it. Yeah, I had
to do it in.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
An hour like once, you know, one day, once in
a while.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah, because I really wanted to volunteer like animals totally.
That's why I really want to volunteer with like animals
and shelters and something like that. But oh my god, well, no,
I won't do it because it's too much of a commitment.
Like first you have to do all these background checks
or something, and then you.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Have there's nothing to that, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You have to you.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Okay, it's it's an annoying stent. It's all annoying.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Background I did a background check for the snack bar annoying.
So anyway, so there's that, guys, if people can make
it through that and then but the bigger thing is
like you literally have to commit to working like one
day a week and it's like a full shift.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
It's like like four to eight hours.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Understand how volunteering works.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Yeah, ye.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Do that.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah, it's literally Yeah, you've already said that like five times,
very clear.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
It's been like two minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
And you do volunteer does the work you do in
your recovery program.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I just don't talk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Well that you mean you just brought it up.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
I have to meet with the guy.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
But I do a lot more things I don't talk
about right exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And so you are actually you are actually helping the community.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Thank you. Yes, volunteering maybe maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's anonymous.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
That's so weird.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So so that's why I normally like doing these feeding
San Diego shifts because you can sign up online, you
pick which one you want to do. All the shifts
I've worked, the longest one was like two hours. Oh
okay a lot, it's really.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Two hours.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
I did that one shift there with my son.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Read never really went back.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But we're trying to show him like like the no,
it was going to be her new thing.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, yeah, new thing we're going to hour two hours
was a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I mean it's you made it through one.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And she lives off of that change. Anytime someone brings
up she goes, you know I did that.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
One other nice things.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I just don't talk about me, please, Like my neighbor,
I help out with a lot of private to count
I'm hosting.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
A board that I'm here, we go.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
I don't do anything.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Wow, I'm on a board. I don't talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Believable.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but I'm just I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
You don't know what board. You don't know what I'm
doing for it. I said, don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:38):

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Can't beat the meats.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Can't beat the meat.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
We're beating me beat the meat. That could be the
name of it.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I don't like that, Roses. This is great, Roses.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
I could be good at it.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Thank you you do that guy, I know that's not charity.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I can't imagine how shittyest guy, no offense guy, but guy,
come on, there's only cheddar cheese on it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
There's no Deli meats. And then there's a calf and
half that she bought from Albertson's.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yeah, we don't need to come after my board meets.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Okay, guys heavy with pretzels, put pretzels.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Okay, Well.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I definitely do Okay, you know I'd love a good
apricot on there, right. So yeah, so normally that's what
I do. It's a two hour shift. Normally they have
you doing no, no, definitely not.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
If you've been downtown lately. Well, you're going to the
Padres game Sunday, so.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You'll see, you'll see.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Uh so you know.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
The big thing they do is they rescue food from
different places.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
You know, whether it's a grocery store, a restaurant.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
You know who's not going to use it or it's
about to go bad in a couple of days, and
they'll like quote rescue it.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
They bring it in. And normally what I do when
I volunteer.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Because who believes you know those expiration dates? Yeah, what
are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Well, and they get like so much produce too. That's legit.
It just doesn't look perfect, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Like that apple.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
If it's near the expiration date, I won't Yeah, but
you got it.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I won't like the expression day couldn't say, you know,
August thirtieth, if it hits the if it hits the
twenty seventh, I won't either.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Come on, that's insane. It is out back and you
did it's the thirtieth, it's the twenty seventh. You're not
gonna make yourself a turkey.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Because I'll open it and I'll touch it, and if
it feels a little slimy that on top of that
the boardship that.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Just happened with all the uh sisteria, Okay, well that's
the only one you eat, can't I can't?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So you have it?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah I have I'm gonna have my wife the appear
cheese with mold on it and just cut off the.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Piece of cheese with mold block. If I ever found
out she throw, I throw it.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
Throw dummy fucked.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
So normally what we're doing is we're like going through
all that stuff, and it's normally a lot of produce.
So you'll be going through like a big bin of
onions and then sorting out.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
That's what you smell the onions.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Okay, that's a stupid song. You've been singing for over
a decade. I don't smell like twenty years. That's true
for two decades.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
And so you know, normally you'll spend two hours literally
sorting through onions and putting the good ones in this bin,
and then the bad ones go to like.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
A farm to be so fucking boring.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
Oh no, they play great tunes.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
There range you're you're chatting, what kind.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Of tunes are we talking?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
It depends who's like the playlist, who's like the head volunteer.
But I've been in there before where it's like classic rock.
I've been in there before where it's like pop, you know,
like Taylor Swift and like the weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I would go and.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I would be having a good time for forty five minutes,
and then once like an hour in.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Last fifteen minutes, you're kind of looking at the I'd.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Like and then and this guy's like, you know, there's
an hour left. I'd be like, Hey, I'm fucking out here.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I'm done. I did an hour. I'm not getting paid.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I look, okay, there's fucking no chance. Start I can't
do it yea here, No, the.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Time normally flies most of the time. I why why
I go with is.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
That kiss from a Roads by Seal? I'm in love
this song?
Speaker 5 (10:00):
Yeah? What time?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It led to a hot conversation with you know, one
of the old ladies volunteering about all the concerts she's.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Been to and who what is the people that volunteer? Like,
what kind of people are we talking about?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
You get three groups, I've seen three groups. One is
the old retired people who like.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
What you dream. Yes, that's that's the groups sky falls.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I honestly, those are the people I gravitate the most
and I chat the most with. They're they're retired, a
little bit more well off, they want to give.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
All of that. Uh So, we got that group.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
We then have either a group of people who are
required to be there so either you're required to be
there by the court.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Always friends situation.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
Or these are the people that beat control and troubled youth.
Or in that group, well that's why you did.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
You were trying to show read the I guess you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yes, I know, I know it was in court worker
one time.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Uh So, and that group also could have students in it,
who are there just to get college man, so one
or two, you know, so there's a.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You get volunteer hours and stuff in high school totally.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
So there's a group that's kind of required to be there.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And then the third group you'll find is the corporate
people who they got a choice to either go to
work today or they could wear these fun matching t
shirts and all go volunteer together for.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
The day to take a picture.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Also, clients share with clients everybody how amazing the company.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Is, unless like, unless you had to do a couple
hours of the.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Feeding thing and then eight hours of work, so that
it's like I'd rather go work.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Two hours compared to eight hours conions for two hours
and behind the desk.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Right, I'm used to this. I can I can make
it day fly by.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I don't wearing a matching shirts with Sky that has
iHeart Radio.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
And don't forget to take a picture in.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Front of the logo walls hold an onion, yep, exactly,
big onion Sky's head.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
What's big?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, she's more of a shallot, not a shallot.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Okay, I'm not a shallon. I haven't.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
This Harry like this?
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Okay, none of this that's ever happened. It's my head.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's our normal.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
You're stupid.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
So normally I'll go with a girlfriend and then we'll
go to like dinner after or whatever.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's the normal, but very.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Different than girls.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Oh yeah, you get up after. Okay, I'm drunk while it.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, give me a cigarette, babe.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Wait cigarette?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Hungry people need right, I don't.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
They don't give away. No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Flavor. Okay, okay, smoked onion.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Smoking the onion. That's so gross. It's a very sanitary
I didn't do that. That's gross.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
But yesterday I kind of got a wild hair at
the last minute, and I wanted to, okay, shut up.
I wanted to volunteer because I hadn't volunteered all summer long. Guilty, Yes,
of course, play at the beginning of summer.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
We're so hungry.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
I'm going to volunteer all the time. I'm gonna be
there bullshit.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
So I went to sign up and I saw a
new offering on the volunteering website that I thought, well,
they have opened a market place, and now basically what
the mark place is is in the facility they have
like over kind of off of miror Mesa Boulevard.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
They built their own little grocery store.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Is it like a warehouse type place?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So yeah, so it's a big warehouse where they bring
in all the food from that's donated from Vaughns and
Chili's and whoever the heck has donated the food, right,
and but they took a section of that and legit
built a grocery store. I mean that's a smaller grocery store.
It's not gonna be the size of your Vaughn's. But
the deal is is that people from the community are
allowed to come once a month and do a pass
(14:32):
through the store and take whatever groceries they want. So
like say, you just launched.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Your job to prove that you're down now, No.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
There's no requirements, Like you could be super well off,
but go and like say, say your neighbor is like
elderly and needy, you can go on behalf of your neighbor.
Speaker 5 (15:04):
She does.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
She has elderly living with her.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Okay, I think he's older now he's fifty for the
best ten years.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
So I saw they had a volunteer shift in the
marketplace open and I was like, that looks exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I didn't know you don't know. I didn't know at
the time, like a checker or I don't know, like
am I a checker? Am I a bad boy? Am
I a stalker?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Like?
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Am I? What would you your dream job at a
grocery store?
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
My dream job, I think to be a checker, honestly,
but I knew that wasn't going to be an option
because nobody pays for anything, so there's nothing to check
or scan.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
But but if I was working.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
To be like the Costco just just.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
She could ever do that because she's too like throw
and would be backed up.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
No one's ever leaving Costco?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Can you show me your tricks?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Not seen me every single okay, okay, well you must
now live here. So I was excited to do this
and I signed up without kind of reading any details
and a kind of different I decided, you know, it's
a different time.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
It's in the middle of the day.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Most of my friends like work normal jobs, so we
normally do like a later shift. So I'm like, fuck it,
I'm just going to go buy myself and I'm just
going to go do this myself.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh you want to if a friend is there, you
can chat with him and you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Want to get out of your house.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
That's crazy here until like one she does busy work
busy Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I know, But if I do it at home, I
have the husband hovering over me, wanting to know what
I'm doing, telling me about what are you making? Because
he has to do pick up and it. And here's
the interesting part. It was a three hour shift.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Two is ridiculous, it's impossible. One is sort of the
sweet spot.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Three hours And what did you get out of that?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
A great feeling in the community for three hours. So
that's the thing. So I show up and my shift
starts at like.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
You didn't make any money shift.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't think you can understand how vos voluntary shift.
In my shift.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
I had to clock in at around noon?
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You got Did they give you like a clock in card? No,
but I wish they did, so stamp it. They probably
don't even have that anymore. No, I mean it's probably
all digital now. So I show up and then I'm
concerned because I see on the door that the hours
of the marketplace are nine to one, but I have
a three hour shift and it's noon, So how does that?
Speaker 5 (17:48):
How does that work? And that is when they inform
us I'd look at that and think, fuck, yeah, they
got the time? What hour shift?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
No, it turns out, I guess the second shift of
the day at the marketplace is kind of like the
people who are at the grocery.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Store in the middle of the night.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Their job is to stalk everything and clean, like we're
talking about breaking down boxes, mopping floors, disinfecting arts. Okay, Jamie,
I see you pointing and fucking laughing at me over ok.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
You know when you were doing all that, you know
what I was doing, taking a nap.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I used to. I used to be on clothes every
once in a while. McDonald's. It was rough. You're you're
gotta stay, like you said, a lot longer after the
store's closed. Yeah, I guess to hear another hour. Yeah,
come on, man, you.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Make yourself food or something.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I think so well, it depends, I mean, because that's
pretty late. Well, and what you've you've even even I
was thirteen, I wasn't thirteen. I was fifteen way off.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Even when you were fifteen off.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, you know, you gotta stay keep it tight. I
gotta line in my bike home, man, I don't want
to be all heavy.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Well, and plus, can.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
You imagine if you clean the grill and then some
one of the other employees came in and started fucking
cooking but.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The grill, Yeah, where's it?
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Just you?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Was your manager Bill there too.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It depends one of us would open, one of us
with clothes. Yeah, because well we're in charge.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
You think he would eat on it clothes?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Oh what do you think, dude? Anything left over? He's
line it up? Yeah? Is that an extra flat fish? Skied?
Speaker 5 (19:38):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
No, no, no one was eating anything. So it was
very different than what I expected. And the thing is is, again,
like I talked about the people who volunteer, well, it
was a lot of older ladies, old retired ladies who
I love talking to, amazing. But when it came to
(19:58):
looking for someone to do the heavy lifting, and you're
looking around the room and you see a woman in
her mid forties and then you see a bunch of
women in their seventies.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
You're the whip snap, Okay, shut up, I'm the one
with the muscles.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
So, like, seriously, like one of those old ladies could
have beat my ass, like fucking I know it. Like
I would have put money on her in the ring,
you know what I mean? Like I know it, and
uh so, yeah. So I kept going back and forth
to the warehouse, lifting like cases of like milk, and
then like bringing them out, putting them in the fridge,
(20:35):
breaking down the boxes, bringing it out to the recycling thing.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
So would you have people that do that for you?
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I don't know. I do that for me at home.
No I know, No, no I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
So it was very rewarding because I even I even
took pictures and shut up, look at this. I got
to wear a vest I was going in the warehouse,
and you take.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
The weirdest pictures. I was going the weirdest pictures.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yes, we know you did it, volunteers.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Look at all this, Look at all this milk. I
stalked you guys and creamer. Look how nice that stocked you.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Look at that A lot
