Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Emily has earned a nickname. For many years now,
she is known as the mooch. Emily loves good free stuff.
I don't have to mooch. I love free stuff. You
will mooch off of just about anybody, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I mean, that's the thing, you know, give it out,
I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Seems little little odd, but okay, you know, I mean
you you've you've got your sticky hands on quite a
few things over the years. Oh, you know, it seems crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
It's wild because like I know now, over the years
of like food being brought in and things being left behind,
like steak knives and ray mcins, like if I need
a kitchen utensil, yes, here at work of like any kind.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
This is who you ask, this girl right here.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I will never forget. Yeah. This started in the very
first month of Emily Beyond on the show. Do you
guys remember the giant cookie pizza tray that at one
place brought in so we you know when you get
foods on Fridays back in the day, and this one
pizza place brought in a giant pizza but it was
on like one like an extremely large cookie sheet. It
(01:12):
wasn't on like a circular pizza tray. It was on
like one of those you know, like cookie trays, shepan
and they left it here. And you know, if that happens,
you just let the whoever set it up, whoever's account
it is, you let them know, Hey, the pizza place
left their thing. You know, do they want to come
get it or what do you want to do with
(01:32):
this thing? Well, it stayed sitting basically in Emily's studio
for a good little while. I mean it was a
couple of weeks that it was just sitting there and
Emily just took it. She took it home. Yeah, And
we were like, Emily, I don't think you can just
take something like that. She's like, well, they clearly didn't
want it, and it was like okay, But then it
turns out the cookie sheet was too big for her
(01:53):
oven and she couldn't even fit it in her oven.
That's these are all facts. Everything adding just said is precked.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I'm not going to debate any he just said it
was a big bummer. I was super excited for the
sheep pan cookie sheet thing. It so at the time, though,
this is like what seven eight years ago, my son
was at the age where he would play with trucks,
so like he would put sand and like play with instruction.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Got used it got used?
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Guy.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The amount of like different little ramikins that you stolen
from restaurants and things like that, like hotels and grandma
does that? Yeah? Does she like rints out ziploc bags
and reuse them? That does that? I would dried out
right now my house.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Emily, did you steal any little condiments from the hotel
we stayed at? Did you get room service?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
She did get room ser remember didn't you like the
first day that you said you got rooms? Oh no,
I ate up by the pool. I ate.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
No, no, no, I no I didn't, but I would
have if I got room service. Yeah, and I did
those little honey those little honey jar. Yeah, ketchup kettle.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
So yeah, Emily loves anything. Anything she can get her
little gruvy hands on, She's gonna take even she doesn't
need it. No, like, if it's free, she gonna take it.
You never know, you never know. I can't imagine the
clutter that's going on. No, okay, sorry, okay, sorry, very defensive. Well,
Emily has a question about what was play, So I
(03:18):
gotta explain what the Free Area is because basically Sky
created this again many years ago, where we have a
little kitchenette. Again, we have you know, that's where the
coffee maker is, the water dispenser, there's a microwave in there,
kind of an air fryer going on in there, and
so that's you know, people going there usually just to
(03:39):
get coffee or warm up their food or whatever. This
little kitchenette area. Well, in this kitchenette area, Sky one
time cleaned out the office and decided she's just gonna
put a bunch of junk in this one space and
call it the free area, and she created this thing.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, it's a little corner nook.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
The first time I did it, I put a little
sign that said free everyone help yourself.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And I feel like it was so successful.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Successful that other people then started well putting things.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, you are correct, but it's it's become a catch
all for crap.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Well, so sometimes you'll score, but most of the time,
it's like you were sent some books ten years ago
from an author that never became anything, and it's sat
in your office. So I put that one random book.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
There, or it'll be like a half eaten bag of
chips that somebody doesn't want and m gross, I don't
know why would I eat that?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You know?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
What was a hit that I brought in one time?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So my family, anything you've brought it was a hit.
Oh when she brought it all like seasonings.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, I brought that. That was that was hit or miss,
dependent on the seasoning. But what was really a hit
that I didn't see coming is you know, we get
a lot of take out. My family eats a lot
of Asian food. So I'm and I had so many
fortune cookies it was ridiculous. Well, like the hobby doesn't
really eat them, the daughter doesn't really eat them. I
(05:09):
like to crack them for the fortune, you know, and
then tell everybody and nobody cares. Like I'm looking for
a reaction at the dinner table, no one cares.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So I had a gallon zip lock of fortune cookies,
my god Sky.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
And I put those out and within I want to say,
forty eight hours, they were all gone. They just went
like one by one, like a little snack. But I
was so happy that they got enjoyed. So fortune cookie
is a hit everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So yeah, sometimes people, you know, if they have like
fruit trees, sometimes they'll bring in like free whatever oranges
or whatever. So that this area, the free area, has
become a thing.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, Emily went into the little kitchenette area yesterday and
now has a question about the free area.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, so yesterday morning, I was going in there to
get my water bottle and fill it up and all
that bottle, get my water, and I do like free stuff,
so like literally, I mean, and it's a small kitchen
it I would, so you look at that, I mean,
it's not open.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
But like so you look, it's hard to miss.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
That free area, right, and when there's something there, And
so obviously my my eyes did a double take. When
I'm going to get my water bottle filled up, and
I see that there's something sitting in the free area.
Here we go in the free area, right, and so
I walk over to it and it's a sleeve of
bagels and there's cinnamon raisin. And you like cinnamon ra well,
so they're sweet. I don't normally like sweets, but I
(06:38):
actually don't usually buy cinnamon raisin. I usually buy plane
or everything's for my house. And well, I actually sometimes
enjoy a cinnamon raisin bagel.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
But it's it's.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Special because I don't always special. I don't always eat
them like I always eat every day.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Sometimes when the cinnamon rais sometimes, I like never buy them.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I never buy them so like for no reason other
than I just.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Cause, like once in a blue moon, I'll have a
cinnamon raisin bagel if I'm like at a bagel place
and they have it on the menu or whatever catches
my fancy.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
So this was extra fun.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And so I didn't really have anything I was going
to enjoy yesterday for breakfast, and so I decided that
I was going to take because it's in the free area,
it's going to take a cinnamon raisin bagel out of
the sleeve and toast it and make that for my
breakfast yesterday, which I did.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
That is always a score when you find something in
that area and you don't have a breakfast that day,
even if it is like just an orange or something,
I feel like it's a score for the day.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Score. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, So I did that, and I enjoyed my bagel,
and that's when I thought a little bit later that
my son was going to do something after school later
and he does too like cinnamon raisin bagels, but I
never buy them for no reason.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
The house is obsessed with the yea.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I mean, so I decided because I have ziploc baggies
in my studio. I save them when I bring like
an avocado or something in and a ziploc bag, and
then the block bag can be reused.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I'll just save them for like a.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
And so I grab my baggie and I go in
there and I take two more out because there's about
eight in the sleeve.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So I've taken one.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
And then I took a couple more out and brought
me home for my son for a snack.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Leader need that many for the snack just too? Just
two more I mean three total? Well probably, and it's free,
so she's all in. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So I did it, and I thought nothing of it
until I thought about it a little later. And that's
when I thought I'd see what you guys thought, to
see that's okay to do.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I don't. I don't think it's okay. It's not only
I think the spirit of it is kind of like
take one, like you can take one are Yeah, but
if if if like Sky's right, if it's for co workers,
you know, if there was listen, you know how I
feel about its big fan yeah, because it was. If
there was a a dozen donuts put out there, I'm
(09:05):
not taking three. I'd take my one and be done.
You wouldn't take two home for your kids in the box.
Absolutely not, not from that area, No way. I would
never do that.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Like what I brought those hot fortune cookies in?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Can you stop talking about it?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Took them one by one.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
If somebody would have just taken the whole bag bag
of them, that would have hit me weird, Like I
never even thought about it till you just mentioned it.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I think most people have somewhat common courtesy, and I
like all of them. There was still a few ulous,
there was still a few love, I know. But you're
take one. I would one. I could take the whole
damn back. Well, that's insane, that's insane. That's weird. So
that I did something wrong you think just I don't
think so. Well, then you had the thought, so I
(09:52):
know it's in there. I know there's some good in
there somewhere. I don't know where. I know that the
free your free blinders on and you're not seeing clearly,
but it's in there. Something in there made you think
what I'm doing is not right. I don't know why
I tell you guys anything, I should never you. So
we should have just said what you did was fine
and then and then that was it and then you
(10:14):
just move on what you do. But I don't think
that whatever, I wouldn't do that. What am I supposed
to do now? Well not nothing nothing, It just maybe
for the future. Can you be cool? Let's think about
this morning, taking another one for breakfast? But is there
still some in there? I saw some more left in there?
Can you so you'd take four bagels?
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Just buy some bagels?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
So much kind of kind of you're out of your mind,
not out of my mind. Yeah, okay, let me let
me put this scenario out there. You love free produce
when they put like free there's a bag of lemons, lemons?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
How many? How many lemons are you taken? Let's say
there's eight of them? Four?
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Remember and now remember when I remember when I took
three and she gotten my dish about it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I took too many. That was from sky, so that
even before.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
That, like these giant remember these giant lemons that were
over there, and Emily got my dish telling and about
how I took too many, and she made faces and
she was pointing at Eddie like she was telling on me.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It was weird. Tell that's exactly what happened, Emily.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Every once in a while, you'll get a wild hair
and come in here with some random Walmart bait goods,
whether they're little cinnamon rolls or cookie tins or whatever.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Yeah, the little muffins.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
If you were to put those in there and somebody
took like half of them for themselves to bring home
to their kids, I mean, anything goes you.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Don't want to share, that's the it's the point.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But I feel like that's no man's land, Like nobody
knows what's going on over there.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's free.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We do know what's going on over there. We just describe.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I mean, everybody knows what's going on.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It's not no man's land. It like this is mad
Max back there.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
This is just sad. It's not sad, nothing wrong.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Disappointed afford a bagel, the right Bears guy, I mean,
wo
